Chapter 81 Sacrifice to God
It was the second time I stood on the main hall waiting for trial, but this time, I was not standing here alone, there was also poor An Shudai.They deliberately set up a frame, so naturally I couldn't tolerate my sophistry, and took An Shudai out of the suitcase in a few moments. "The adulterer will have an affair in secret" was caught and revealed.At this time, the furious king of Yaoyue Kingdom was sitting high in the hall, flanked by the divine cow Attila, and the other one didn't know who she was, but seeing her gorgeous and rich clothes, she should also be of noble status.

"Kneel down." A few thick and thin guards pushed me and An Yuanxi to the ground. I didn't bother to struggle and hurt myself. I just raised my head and stared at the three people in the hall.

"Eighteen Attila, are you convicted?" The king of Yaoyue Kingdom was full of anger, and he opened his mouth to ask the crime.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what crime your Majesty wants to ask the Min Daughter?" I calmly said, my eyes flicked over the sneering expression of the divine cow Attila, and saw a sneer on the corner of her lips.

"Sacred Cow Attila, tell me." The king of Yaoyue Kingdom said in a cold tone.The divine cow Attila smiled at me, and said triumphantly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law originally wanted to visit the eighteenth Attila in the palace, but when she was about to arrive at her bedroom, she saw a strange maid ghost. Sneaking into her bedroom, the daughter-in-law was worried that someone would be unfavorable to the eighteenth Attila, and there was no one around to ask for help, so she came to inform His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to bring someone to rescue her. Unexpectedly, we took people to rush there, but in Outside the door, I heard a man's voice coming from the room. It turned out that the court lady was not only a man, but also an adulterer who was going to elope with eighteen Attila. Your Majesty, this bitch has done such a dirty thing, our Yaoyue Kingdom What's the face of the royal family? Your Majesty must not spare them lightly." Attila the Divine Bull looked at me triumphantly, with a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes.

An Yuanxi's face turned red when he heard the cow's nonsense: "You are talking nonsense..." Before he finished speaking, Attila, the divine cow, immediately asked: "Do you have a place to speak here, give me a slap! Immediately, a guard stepped forward and shot left and right, An Yuanxi's face suddenly swelled up, and the corners of his lips were bloodshot.

"Stop!" I struggled and threw myself at the guard who made the move. These prairie people are so powerful, how could An Shudai, a feeble scholar, stand up to their beating.The guards behind me pressed me tightly to stop my struggle, twisting my arm so painfully.

"Stop!" The king spoke, and the guards stopped. I hurriedly looked at An Yuanxi, and saw that his eyes were a little loose.The king narrowed his eyes, showing a dangerous expression, and said coldly, "Eighteen Attila, what do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, Director An is a buddy of my embroidery village. His Majesty sent someone to forcibly take the girl away that day. Director An was worried about the safety of the girl, so he ventured into the palace to find out about the girl. Have a private meeting with someone, please check it out clearly." The corners of my lips curled slightly, I glanced at Attila the divine bull, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty, Director An is just a weak scholar, why can he sneak into the palace so easily? Are the guards of Yaoyue Kingdom's palace so lax after finding Minnv's bedroom? Why did His Majesty bring people here just after he came? Don't His Majesty think it's too coincidental? According to Minnv, this Everything is just a deliberate design by people with ulterior motives to frame the women of the people in order to achieve their own ulterior motives."

"You bitch, you were caught hiding a man in the bedroom, not only did you not plead guilty, but you are still lying here to deceive people and spitting blood!" Attila the divine bull rushed in front of me, raised his hand and slapped me on the face , "See if I don't teach you a lesson!"

"Stop!" Another woman who had been standing behind the king without making a sound stopped her voice, "Altila the Divine Bull, don't be so impulsive, His Majesty the King has his own judgment."

The divine cow Attila gave me a vicious look, I gave her a cold look, and said mockingly: "I didn't say that the divine bull Attila planted the blame, why is the divine bull Attila so excited? Do you have ghosts in your heart?"

"You bastard..." She wanted to slap me again when she heard that, but was stopped by the king: "Altila the divine bull, stand aside, don't be too presumptuous!"

The divine bull Attila was reprimanded by the king, his face was bruised, but he didn't dare to say anything, and stood aside angrily.I heard from Musha that this divine cow Attila is the niece of the Queen Mother, because the Queen Mother likes her very much, so the king also accommodated her. She has always been very arrogant because of this relationship, thinking that she is the son of Attila the Golden Knife There are no two candidates, but unfortunately, compared with the queen, she is far behind in both temperament and self-cultivation.The king looked at me gloomyly, and said in a cold voice: "Eighteen Attila, it is true that this man was found from your bedroom. As for what you said was framed by someone, do you have evidence?"

evidence?What evidence can I take?Since someone else deliberately designed it, will you still ask me to find evidence?It seems that this time is really doomed, I looked at the king lightly, with a mocking arc on the corner of my lips: "I have no evidence, but what the girl said is true, Your Majesty is wise, maybe you can send someone to find out the evidence .”

"Do you want to publicize such scandals so that the whole country knows?" The king angrily said, "Okay, since you said that what you said is true, then we will ask the gods to prove the truth of what you said."

Please God to prove the truth of my words?My eyes widened, what do you mean?The Yaoyue people are not so superstitious, are they?Instead of searching for evidence, do you want to pretend to be a ghost?The king snorted softly, "Attila the white horse, make a divination for the eighteenth Attila, and ask the shaman to prove the truth of what the eighteenth Attila said."

Damn it, my life depends on his inexplicable divination?I frowned and said, "Your Majesty, using divination to prove the truth of what I said is too childish..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the king sharply: "Bold, how dare you blaspheme the gods, give me a slap!" As soon as the words finished, the divine bull Attila rushed over immediately without waiting for the guards: "I'm coming! "Speaking of "crackling" and slapping me several times, I suddenly complained in my heart. I forgot that most people of ethnic minorities believe in gods and regard them as the supreme spiritual beliefs. The story of the gods' instructions to determine whether a person is guilty or not, why commit their taboo here?
"Stop!" Ulay's voice came from the hall, and in an instant, Attila, the divine bull, was grabbed by him. He threw the woman aside and looked up at the king: "Father, Miss Ye doesn't understand us!" Please forgive my father!"

The king was full of anger, he glanced at Ulei, and said coldly: "The prince came just in time. Since you are here, you must already know what happened. Come and listen to the instructions of the gods."

Ulay took one look at me and stood aside expressionlessly.The white horse Attila came down from the hall, holding two animal bones, muttering something, and performed a dance of invitation to the gods on the hall.I heard from Musha that this white horse, Attila, is Ulay's first concubine, and her status is extremely special, because she is a priestess of Shamanism, the state religion that Yaoyue Kingdom believes in.The people of Yaoyue believe in all the gods. They believe in the gods of nature, gods of heaven, gods of fire, gods of water, gods of mountains, gods of fertility, and gods of ancestors. All natural forces that they don't understand are all attributed to the power of gods and worship them.And the shamanist wizards acted as the hosts of all their sacrificial activities. This white horse Attila is a shaman who presides over the royal sacrificial activities full-time. She has an extremely honorable status in the royal family, otherwise she would not have the title of "White Horse" up.

With a "snap", the animal bone in the hand of Attila the white horse fell to the ground, and her dance of inviting the gods ended.The king looked at her and said eagerly, "Attila the White Horse, what did the Shaman God say?"

The white horse Attila glanced at me indifferently, with a glint of incomprehensible light flashing in his eyes, he turned to the King of Yaoyue Kingdom and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the shaman god said that what Attila Eighteen said was a lie, That man is indeed her adulterer."

Ulay's face suddenly turned pale. The king's tone was cold and his expression was furious, and he said, "Eighteen Attila, what else do you have to say?"

The corners of my lips twitched, and I finally couldn't help laughing, how funny, this so-called witch can kill people with a single lie, what is the difference between what the king did and a puppet?Thinking of the experiences in the grassland these days, everything is so absurd and ridiculous that it cannot be judged by common sense.The king was irritated by the sneer on my face: "Bold, what are you laughing at?"

I said indifferently: "If you want to commit a crime, why is there no excuse?" I raised my eyes and gave Wu Lei a cold look, and saw that his expression was dull and pale, are you satisfied?Ulay, this is the result of you forcing me to stay. A woman's life is as humble as an animal to grassland people, let alone me, a helpless foreign woman. In the name of the gods, you can put me to death.

"Death is imminent, and you still speak hard!" Altila the God Bull couldn't understand my expression, and snorted coldly.This cow, thinking that after eradicating me, she can take the place of Attila the Golden Knife is too naive. That Attila the white horse is the enemy she should pay attention to. How much is she, and she has the ace of protection as the messenger of the gods. If this cow thinks that she is the niece of the queen's family, she can become a concubine. Let's see how you will be played to death by this white horse witch in the end.

"White Horse Attila, what instructions does the Shaman God have?" The king looked at the witch and asked.

"The shaman god said that these two people were tempted by the devil, possessed by the ghosts, and committed filthy things, which would bring great disaster to the Yaoyue Kingdom. The sacred and clean heavenly water washes away all their filth and drives away the devils, and only then can the Yaoyue Kingdom be saved from danger." Attila the white horse said solemnly, with a solemn and solemn face, fooling the king of a country in the palace, who knew her Mouth full of gibberish?

"Okay, my king now announces that a sacrificial ceremony will be held to dedicate these two people to the lake god." The king of Yaoyue Kingdom glanced at Wu Lei and said in a deep voice, "Do you have any objections, my lord?"

I looked up at Ulay, his eyes flashed, his eyelids lowered, and he said expressionlessly: "All follow the instructions of the shaman god."

I laughed coldly, this is the end of the matter, I have nothing to say, it seems that An Yuanxi and I are really going to die in Yaoyue Kingdom this time.After knowing that there are hells and underworlds, I feel that death is actually not that terrible. Maybe the reincarnation in the next life will not be as unlucky as this one.

We were escorted to the lake. An Yuanxi was still a little dazed in the hall, but when he got to the lake, he woke up and struggled under the guard's hands. The king ordered: "Tie them up." Immediately, the guards found the rope, Putting on An Yuanxi and me, Wu Lei suddenly said, "I'll tie it up!"

He came over, took the rope from the guard's hand, twisted my hand behind my back, and tied it tightly with the rope, I was angry and hated: "Ulay, you bastard, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go! "

He tied me up, turned to me, looked at me deeply with deep blue eyes, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said calmly: "I'll wait for you!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for me to speak, he turned to An Yuanxi, ready to tie his hands. An Yuanxi kept twisting his body under the pressure of the guards. Ulei bowed his head and whispered something in his ear What, An Yuanxi stared at him in astonishment, forgetting to even struggle, Wu Lei took the opportunity to tie An Yuanxi tightly.

Attila the white horse began to hold a sacrificial ceremony by the lake. She lit joss sticks and paper money, and two shamans wearing hideous painted animal skin masks danced around me and An Yuanxi, "humming and ahhh".The White Horse Witch took out two straw figurines, and tied two red threads to the straw figurines. One end of the thread was tied around the necks of An Yuanxi and me, and the other end was held by her and she chanted and prayed. After a spell she couldn't understand, she pulled out a magic wand, interrupted the red threads one by one, and threw the two straw figures into the lake far away.After everything was done, she said loudly, "Cage."

The two dancing god shamans carried out a bamboo cage. When I saw the cage, it was a thin bamboo cage woven of bamboo strips. It was about the length of one person, and the size could accommodate two people. "Dipping pig cage" pig cage.Damn, what sacrifice to the lake god?Why don't you treat me and An Yuanxi as adulterers and soak them in a pig cage.

Two big stones were placed at the bottom of the cage, and we, An Yuanxi, were pulled up and stuffed into the bamboo cage.The bamboo cage was laid flat on the grass, and I pressed on An Yuanxi's body, his face was a little red, I don't know if it was from the beating or from embarrassment.I bit my lip, I didn't expect that I would die in this way in this time and space, and I would die with the nerd who was wrong with me.

"An Yuanxi." I called him softly, his face was swollen high, but his eyes were shining brightly at me, I bit my lip, "I'm sorry, I hurt you." If he didn't meet me, he wouldn't Will there be such bad luck?Thinking of Mrs. An, who is far away in Cangdu, how sad she would be if she knew that her only son had died.I'm such a bastard, and people who have anything to do with me end badly.

"It was I who killed you. If I hadn't come back, this wouldn't have happened." He looked at me quietly and smiled faintly.I looked at his calm expression, and for some reason, my heart became very calm. I smiled: "An Yuanxi, aren't you afraid? We are going to die."

"I'm afraid. But I'm very happy. I can be with you now." An inexplicable look flashed in An Yuanxi's eyes, and my heart suddenly became sore and soft. I pressed my face to his chest, the first time I found that this nerd's chest muscles were quite strong, and his body temperature warmed my cheeks. I smiled and said, "An Yuanxi, I owe you my life, and I will pay it back in my next life."

"Okay." He laughed softly, "You must remember to come to me in your next life."

Several people lifted the bamboo cage that stuffed me and An Yuanxi into the lake.I closed my eyes, and when I heard a "boom", my body sank weightlessly, and the bamboo cage fell into the lake. The water rushed in from all directions, and immediately submerged my head.The bamboo cage sank to the bottom of the lake, and there was silence all around. I held my breath, only hearing the sound of "gulugulu" bubbles coming from the lake water from time to time.

The pressure of the lake attacked us like a huge strange hand, squeezing, tearing, and crushing my body. My chest was swelling to the point of bursting, blurred faces gradually appeared in my mind, Yu, Chu Shang, Feng Ge, Ming Yan..., goodbye, this world, those people I have loved and hated ...
