Chapter 480 Sacrifices

   Ji Yunxi did not hide the matter from Mrs. Ji about the spirit exchange.

   She knows better than anyone that Mrs. Ji's hatred of Ji Luo has already been close to madness.

   It would be better to say it to reassure her and avoid unnecessary troubles.

  Before today, Ji Yunxi didn't really understand where Mrs. Ji's hatred for Ji Luo came from, and most of the time she felt inexplicable.

   She didn't realize until she saw the flower dagger between Shen Yijia's forehead.

   Maybe it's because of what you can't get no matter how hard you try, the other party has it from birth, but he feels that the other party is not as good as you.

   Over time, this hatred took root and sprouted.

   until it becomes distorted.

  Fortunately, Shen Yijia has already fallen into her hands, it won't be long before everything will end, at least she won't become like Mrs. Ji...

   "Young Master, Mo Tong is back." Mo Yu's voice pulled Ji Yunxi back from her thoughts.

   "Let her in." She said lightly.

   Mo Tong walked in and knelt down with a plop.

   Ji Yunxi raised his head slightly and asked, "Did you catch anyone?"

   Mo Tong lowered his eyes: "We searched the Misty Forest and couldn't find Song Jingchen. It was Mo Tong who was incompetent. Please punish the young master."

"Without our people leading the way, it is impossible for outsiders to leave the foggy forest." Ji Yunxi frowned, turning to Shen Yijia, and conservatively said: "You lead people to guard the exit of the foggy forest, these three days, I do not want any accident."

   Waiting for her to complete the spirit change, what is Song Jingchen?

   She waved her hand to let Mo Tong go down.

"Yes."

After    and the others left, Mo Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Young master can't afford a hexagram?"

   Ji Yunxi shook his head: "With Shen Yijia there, it's useless."

  The so-called variable means that everything is possible before there is no conclusion.

   Besides, Shen Yijia was not the only one involved in the change of spirits, but also herself. The healers did not heal themselves, and the warlocks couldn't make divinations for themselves.

   The only thing she can do is to prevent any accident from happening.

   After thinking about it, she took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and threw it to Mo Yu: "Take it and feed her."

   Mo Yu bowed his head should be.

  In the room, Shen Yijia still kept the same posture as she left, Mo Yu looked at her for a long time, and made sure there was nothing wrong before stepping forward, opened the porcelain bottle, and poured the whole bottle of medicine into her mouth.

   "Go to sleep, when you wake up, everything will be over." She said quietly.

   is over, meaning you will never wake up again.

   Shen Yijia closed her eyes obediently.

  Mo Yu raised the candlestick and left, and the room fell into darkness again.

  In the night, the heavy rain came unexpectedly, like a pouring rain. The pea-sized raindrops hit the ground and made a "crackling" sound, and the whole Tianji Valley was shrouded in the rain curtain.

   A flash of lightning pierced the sky, bringing a short-lived light. The person who was lying quietly on the couch suddenly opened his eyes and quickly re-jawed.

  It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but this rain lasted for three days.

  There is a limit to everything, and it is too much to go too far.

  The seeds that were just sown were all destroyed because of this rain, but everyone can no longer care about this loss.

   Just because I don't know when, the **** tablet in the priest's hall actually shed blood and tears, and the blood dripped down the stamens of the flower on the other side, dyeing the whole **** tablet red, even the heavy rain could not wash it away.

   Everyone was shocked, this was a big omen.

Everyone in the    Valley is more or less able to divination, depending on the individual's perception.

   And divination is suspected of spying on the secrets of heaven.

  The avenue is simple, and the cause and effect are not false. The development of all things has its own cause and effect. If you go against the sky and forcibly intervene to change the cause and effect, you will inevitably lead to unwarranted disasters.

  In the past, there was a spiritual spring pressing down, so that everyone could live without disease and disaster, but since the last Valley Master defected, the spiritual spring has long since dried up...

   The four elders and their clansmen all gathered in the priesthood.

   As everyone was talking, the door to the main hall of the Priestess Hall opened.

   Ji Yunxi and Si Yun walked out slowly.

  In an instant, everyone quieted down and saluted: "Master Priest, Young Master."

   "The **** card is crying blood, I think everyone has seen it." Si Yun's tone was heavy, and he couldn't bear to look at the strange stone wall.

   "I'm here for this. I wonder why the priest would know why the magic card suddenly turned into this." The second elder asked first.

  Si Yun shook his head and looked at Ji Yunxi with a pale face.

  Ji Yunxi nodded and said, "I caused blood and hexagrams last night, and finally got a glimpse of the secret..."

  Inducing blood to create hexagrams literally means using one’s own blood as a guide to communicate with the heavens and ask for oracles.

   This seems simple, but it is extremely harsh to the person who starts the hexagrams, and even damages their lifespan.

  Normal Who would be willing to sacrifice so much?

   Even if Ji Yunxi didn't say anything, everyone could guess the seriousness of the matter.

"I always thought it was my fault that the Lingquan was dry, but I didn't know until last night that it wasn't the case." Ji Yunxi smiled bitterly: "Our ancestors in Tianjigu have worked hard for the sake of the world, but I don't know that they have already left a disaster for themselves. The Lingquan dried up, and the gods wept. Blood is just a warning, if you don't respond, everyone will be punished by God."

  Everyone was shocked. They naturally knew that revealing too many secrets would be detrimental to themselves, so people who went out of the Valley of Secrets had the rule of only one divination every day, and most of the money obtained from fortune-telling would be used for good deeds...

   "I wonder if the young master has a way to break it?" Someone asked.

  Ji Yunxi didn't answer right away, and when there were more people asking, she said sadly, "Sacrifice human sacrifices to heaven, and apologize to heaven."

  The crowd was in an uproar, and the human sacrifices were sacrificed to the living people, and the blood of the heart was taken, and then the human sacrifices were thrown into the stone cauldron and burned.

   This is indeed recorded in ancient books, but because it is too cruel, it has never been held in the clan for hundreds of years.

   "How many people do you need?" The Great Elder asked with a dark face.

   "Nine, ninety-eighty-one virgins are needed, and it will be held today at Xu."

"This……"

   Don’t say that the time is tight, even if you give them more time to prepare, it is impossible to go outside and arrest people to come in to sacrifice, that will only owe more debts.

   In other words, these eighty-one virgins need to be found in their clan.

   Everyone's faces are a little ugly, especially if there are children under the age of five at home.

   Ji Yunxi saw it in his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "After the sacrifice to heaven, Lingquan will come back to life again."

   said this because Ji Yunxi knew that Lingquan was too tempting for everyone.

include……

   She looked at the great elder of the age of ten, and she saw joy in her eyes.

   Ji Yunxi sneered and said sternly: "Everyone, let's go back and think about it. If you don't want to, I will accompany Tianji Valley to live and die together."

   She said so, where else do you have a choice?

  Since the Lingquan did not dry up because of Ji Yunxi, she could take over the position of Valley Master at any time.

  Tianjigu people have a deep respect for the Valley Master.

   Including several elders, they may question and oppose the decision of the high priest, but for the valley owner, they will only obey unconditionally, unless the valley owner violates the clan rules and betrays the Tianji Valley.

   Like Ji Luo, because at the moment she betrayed, she was no longer the owner of Tianji Valley.

   Besides, Lingquan is indeed attractive enough.

   Even if there are people who really do not want their children to die, it depends on whether other people agree or not.

   Dozens of children exchanged the lives of all the clansmen, no matter how you look at it, it is not a loss.

   As Si Yun and Ji Yunxi expected, before the sun set, the four elders sent eighty-one children to the priesthood.

   Torches were lit around the priest's hall, illuminating the entire courtyard.

   There is an additional altar next to the stone cauldron in the middle. Eight men wearing sacrificial masks are dancing strange dances around the stone cauldron. They keep waving their hands and feet and chanting ancient sacrificial verses.

   These eight were all disciples of the high priest.

   Afraid of disturbing the gods, there should not be too many people present during the sacrifice. The four elders bowed to the stone cauldron with sincere eyes and left the priesthood.

  The sky was completely dark, and the heavy black clouds shrouded the entire sky, making people feel annoyed, and there was always a sense of wind and rain coming.

   Eighty-one virgin boys and girls may have been told by their family members, and there is no fear on their faces. Instead, they look at the eight people who are singing with pride.

   Of course, it is also possible that they know what they will experience, but the beliefs instilled in them since childhood make them feel that it is an honor to stand here.

When the    chant ended, the two disciples came out of the side hall carrying two large trays, each of which was filled with bamboo tubes the size of wine glasses.

   The two walked up to the children and divided the bamboo tubes one by one.

   They were also obedient, holding a small bamboo tube, and drank it in small sips until the high priest on the altar asked for a drink.

   "It's delicious, is this the sugar water that Aweng said?" A chubby little boy smacked his lips and said in surprise.

   He never drank it, and neither did A Weng. A Weng heard it from a deceased old man.

   The others were also very happy, and even forgot what the elders said before they came to teach in a proper manner. They all raised their heads and stuck out their tongues to lick them in the bamboo tube, fearing that they would miss a drop.

  Si Yun glanced at them one by one with sympathy on his face.

  patta ~ the bamboo tube fell to the ground.

  A little girl fell down suddenly, followed by a second, a third...

   Before they could react to what happened, all eighty-one people fainted and fell to the ground.

   Ji Yunxi came out of the main hall, while Mo Yu and another woman carried Shen Yijia and followed her to the altar.

  Si Yun glanced at Shen Yijia, raised his hand, and a disciple took the initiative to hand over the torch.

   took the torch, and Si Yun walked up the wooden ladder beside the stone tripod step by step.

  The wind grew stronger, blowing his robes up, and his hair fluttered in the air.

   The eight disciples surrounding the stone cauldron sang the sacrificial words again, which were more obscure and strange than the previous ones.

  Ji Yunxi squatted down beside Shen Yijia, brushed her hand over the flower tine on her forehead, and murmured regretfully, "That woman did everything for your organization, but it was a pity for me in the end."

   said so, but her eyes were clearly full of pleasure.

   After she finished speaking, she took out a dagger from her bosom and swiped at Shen Yijia's wrist.

   Fresh blood rushed out immediately, and at the same time she began to sing something in a low voice.

   After a while, the blood suddenly stopped by itself.

   Ji Yunxi frowned and was about to slash again...

   A gust of wind blew, she frowned and looked back, not knowing what to think, her face changed slightly.

   "Father, no." She exclaimed.

   But it was too late, the torch in Si Yun's hand had already been released the moment she spoke, and in just a moment, countless flames rose from the cauldron, rushing to the top of the stone cauldron.

  The light of the fire quickly magnified in Ji Yunxi's eyes. She didn't have time to say anything. Suddenly she felt a pain in her wrist and the dagger fell to the ground. She lowered her head to look, and was caught off guard by a pair of surprisingly bright eyes.

   Shen Yijia still had the dull look on her face.

   Ji Yunxi's pupils shrank, and she quickly pulled back her hand, not wanting to be held by Shen Yijia, not only did she not pull it out, but instead pulled Shen Yijia from the ground to sit up.

   Her eyes widened, and her other hand brushed the cuff, but before she touched the silver needle hidden above, her wrist was buckled again.

   Shen Yijia grinned, and his subordinates exerted force.

   "Kacha, Kacha~" The two crisp sounds even overshadowed the "crackling" sound of the flames burning.

   I like poisoning so much, if my hand is broken, let’s see how you can do it!

   "Ah~" A shrill cry of pain sounded.

   "Young Master." Mo Yu who was under the altar exclaimed and wanted to get on the altar, but one of the eight disciples suddenly came over and blocked her way.

   Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, the man had already pulled off his black robe and covered his head towards her. The movement was too great, and the mask was also taken off. Who else was it not Mo Yuan?

   Two more disciples tore off the black robe, Song Jingchen swept straight towards Si Yun, and You Yi went to stop the others.

   They only have one purpose, so that Shen Yijia on the altar can clean up Ji Yunxi without any distractions.

  Shen Yijia clenched his fist and hit Ji Yunxi's face, the fist wind brought the hair down from Ji Yunxi's temples...

   With his hands free, Ji Yunxi endured the pain and rolled to the side, Shen Yijia's fist fell on the wooden altar.

   "Bang~", a hole was smashed into the floor.

   It can be imagined that if this punch is received, it will definitely be disfigured.

   punched in the air, Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks with anger, and attacked with another punch.

   After three days, she didn't even give her any food, and she was so hungry that she felt dizzy and dizzy.

   "You... lied to me, you didn't get psychedelic fragrance at all. No, why didn't you get psychedelic fragrance..." Ji Yunxi quickly avoided, stood up and took two steps back, looking at Shen Yijia with unwillingness.

   Shen Yijia rolled her eyes: "Who made you stupid."

   How can she let her people take them into Tianji Valley if they don't get the trick?

  She was about to punch again, Ji Yunxi wanted to avoid it, but she didn't want Shen Yijia's little fist to be closed, and she took out a long whip from her waist and pulled it towards Ji Yunxi.

   "Crack~" Ji Yunxi couldn't dodge in time, and instantly had a hole in his body.

   "Look, call you stupid. You don't know anything but three things. Do you think I'm kidding with you?"

   "You are courting death~" Ji Yunxi gritted her teeth and said bitterly.

   Shen Yijia threw out another whip, Ji Yunxi didn't seem to want to get entangled with her, and she wanted to use light work to leave.

   As soon as her feet left the altar, the long whip wrapped her legs.

   Shen Yijia pulled hard, and Ji Yunxi was thrown to the ground by her.

   "Pop~" Another whip fell on her, and she didn't know who was courting death.

   "Crack~" She even remembered how dare to pinch her face.

   "Pop~" and even tried to let her blood out. It's really a tiger that doesn't show its power, and everyone thinks she's a sick cat.

   After a few whips, the dress on Ji Yunxi's body was quickly ripped into tatters by Shen Yijia.

On the other side, Si Yun was knocked to the ground by Song Jingchen, spit out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and then he caught sight of his people falling to the ground inexplicably, what else did he not understand, his face was gloomy Said: "You actually put the poison in the stone cauldron!"

  Song Jingchen pursed his lips without saying a word, raised his long sword and attacked him again.

  I didn't want to at this moment, a totem of the other side flower suddenly rose in the air.

  The people in Tianjigu couldn't stay in the priest's hall to watch the sacrifices, but they didn't go home, but waited for news not far from the priest's hall. When they saw the signal flare, they rushed to the priest's hall one by one.

  The sound of footsteps was getting closer, Song Jingchen paused, glanced at the signal tube in Si Yun's hand, turned around and flew up to the altar.

   "Let's leave first." He pulled Shen Yijia.

   There are many people who are good at using poison in Tianji Valley. It is obviously unwise to confront them.

   Not to mention they have to take the opportunity to save people.

   Shen Yijia looked around, noticed the torches around, and met Song Jingchen.
