Watch Out! Danger Ahead

Chapter 659: Sacrifice

Chu Rong's gaze followed the goatee old man's words, and he saw the two young men who were walking with Uncle Xiang and others supporting each other at this time.

One of them held his wrist, and the palm on the wrist changed from blue and purple to decayed brown at the beginning. The back of the hand that had been swollen now began to wither, like a piece of decayed and festered wood, folding down at an abnormal angle.

He glanced at it, his expression unchanged, he didn't seem to be surprised by the young man's injury, but he commanded the old man with his usual expression:

"Take him down for treatment."

It seemed that this situation was just commonplace for him, not a rare occurrence.

When Song Qingxiao saw this, he couldn't help asking:

"What is hidden in the bottom of the lake?"

As soon as she asked, Chu Rong smiled slightly, and was not as flustered as the uncle Xiang, instead, she confessed to the old goatee in a low voice, and after taking the two young men to heal the injury first, she was slow. He straightened his clothes and said with a smile:

"To tell the girl, the lake is called Jiuquan," he asked after a pause, pulling his sleeves, turning his face away, half-raising his chin:

"What do you say under Jiuquan?"

He paused for a while, then said:

"hell!"

After Chu Rong said this, he turned to his side again, and politely gestured to Song Qingxiao to go ahead in the direction of the veranda with a gesture of ‘please’.

Pin Luo was a little frightened and didn't dare to enter rashly, but Song Qingxiao looked as usual.

Anyway, she has a high level of cultivation and came for the Dragon King, even if this place is Longtan Tiger Den, she is naturally not afraid.

Therefore, Chu Rong made a gesture, and she took the lead. Pin Luo followed closely. Chu Rong frowned and followed Song Qing's side, but she fell behind by half a step. Far away, but not too close, made her vigilant.

This person is very winking, and is also very good at dealing with people and things, and he is so good at doing things, it is really not like a person who lives in a hidden place and cannot escape from the world.

"In the rumor, Jiuquan is connected to the underground underworld, so the yin qi there is extremely strong, and the flesh of ordinary people is fragile and cannot withstand the impact of that force."

Hearing this, Pin Luo couldn't help but interject:

"Then can his hands cure?"

After he finished speaking, he looked a little worried, obviously remembering the scene of Yichang turning around and leaving after his own exit.

The people here are arrogant, and they don't look like ordinary people from the outside world. You can tell from Yichang's attitude towards the uncle. This group of people is not popular.

But I don't know why these people are so special to Song Qingxiao, and even treat her as a distinguished guest.

Although Pin Luo knew that he might irritate the man named Chu Rong by interjecting like this, he cared about his companion's body. After questioning at this moment, he took a bold look at Chu Rong’s face, as if he was worried about his anger. Flick your sleeves and leave.

Fortunately, Chu Rong's tolerance seems to be stronger than that of Yi Chang. After Pin Luo spoke, although he frowned, he was not angry. Instead, he replied calmly:

"You can't keep your hands, you can only keep your life."

After he said this, he turned his head to look at Song Qingxiao, as if explaining to her:

"Yin Qi enters from his hand and has almost cut off the vitality of his hand. Those who can enter Jiuquan, except for those who have great opportunities, can't retreat all over," Chu Rong said here, looking at Song Qingxiao meaningfully. At a glance:

"It's a blessing to keep your life."

Pin Luo looked at Song Qing with a weird look, but made no sound cleverly.

I don't know what the people here are planning. Compared to the uncle Xiang's hidden attitude, the people here are much more straightforward. If you have something to say, it seems like there is no escape.

"How many people are there in your Yulun Void Realm?" Song Qingxiao asked again.

"Not many, only 147 people." After hearing her question, Chu Rong gently reported a number:

"Add a few people, and there are 152 people in total."

"The calculation is so accurate?" Song Qing smiled and said casually.

Chu Rong said with a good temper:

"Yes, our place is not big, the population is not large, and it has always been very stable."

"Fixed?" Song Qingxiao heard this, and his heart moved: "Is there no change in the number of people?"

"Yes, almost nothing has changed."

As soon as Chu Rong's voice fell, Pin Luo couldn't help but laugh:

"How is that possible? People are always born, old, sick, and die, so how can the number of people not change?"

Maybe it was because Chu Rong's attitude was kind and Song Qingxiao was beside him, his tight heartstrings also relaxed a little, and he was able to put in a few words at this time.

Chu Rong also followed with a smile:

"It is true that people are born, old, sick and die." He pursed the corner of his mouth, and a dim light flashed in his eyes: "But there are old age, sickness and death, and naturally there are new lives."

He was right in saying this, and Pin Luo nodded, then said nothing.

Song Qingxiao pretended to ask casually:

"Are there women here?"

Since Chu Rong mentioned that there is a new life, it proves that there should be women here, but the men who came to meet the uncle were all men of different ages, and did not see women appearing.

"Naturally there is." Chu Rong smiled, showing a few teeth:

"In our place, the status of women is very unique. They bear the responsibility of nurturing new lives, so they are very precious. They will not go out to meet guests easily for fear of injury, so Miss Song has not seen it for the time being."

After he said this, he added two more sentences:

"Because you are also a female, Master Yichang also pays special attention to you, let me receive you well, I am afraid that I will be negligent."

Chu Rong's words are weird, and they seem to reveal a lot of information, but there is something wrong.

The woman in Yulun Void Realm has a unique position and bears the responsibility of nurturing new life, so she is afraid of injury if she does not go out to meet guests.

That's what he said.

But throughout the ages, women have taken on the great responsibility of nurturing the next generation, and I have never heard of it because it is too precious to reach the point where even customers can’t meet them at will, are they afraid of damage?

Such an attitude is not like treating an equal person, but like treating a piece of fragile porcelain. It is both protection and imprisonment in disguise.

Song Qingxiao thought of this and said:

"Talk about the Dragon King Festival."

The uncle concealed this, and he didn't want to mention more about it.

On the contrary, Yichang is outspoken, as if he did not shy away from mentioning this matter.

Seeing her deliberately mentioning the Dragon King again, Pin Luo couldn't help shrinking his head, and subconsciously glanced at Chu Rong.

Her demeanor was natural, and she naturally asked in a commanding tone, as if she was not afraid to cause discomfort to the people in the Yulun Void Realm.

But Churong didn't seem to be angry when he heard her say this. After seeing her asking, he said:

"The Dragon King Festival is a very grand festival here. It is held every three years. It is necessary to select beautiful girls for the sacrifice ceremony."

'hiss! ’

He plainly said such appalling words, but he didn't expect the reaction of the people on the side after hearing the content of his words.

The young Pin Luo didn't expect him to say such a secret, and couldn't help taking a deep breath, revealing a look of shock.

Now that the outside world is developing rapidly in all aspects, he never expected that among the "fairies" in the Yulun Void Realm surrounded by the center of the Nine Dragon Caves, there would still be such ignorant, ignorant, weird, and terrible customs. .

"Sacrifice, sacrifice ceremony?" Pin Luo trembled, Chu Rong glanced at him, smiled and nodded:

"Yes it is."

"What kind of sacrifice ceremony?" Song Qingxiao's reaction was much calmer than Pin Luo's. Churong saw her curious about it and couldn't help but patiently explain:

"We will select a beautiful girl in advance, who is less than eighteen years old and needs a clean virgin. During a certain period of time, we will sink her into the bottom of the Jiuquan to soothe the yin at the bottom of the spring." His face showed a little bit. Feeling guilty, "Ms. Song should have seen it when she came over. There is a strong yin qi there, and she can't suppress it anymore, so there will be things that happen when the younger generation who is walking with you are hurt by the yin qi in it."

His appearance was weird, and the apologize in his tone made Pin Luo's hair creepy.

This person is an understatement, not as if the life or death of a girl is determined, but as if discussing a trivial issue.

He didn't mind if a life was about to disappear, but felt a little embarrassed because the Yin Qi under Jiuquan got out of control and hurt the guests who went there.

This situation was so incredible that Pin Luo almost held his breath and couldn't make a sound.

After a while, he seemed to have recovered his speaking ability, and he stammered:

"Sink, sink into the bottom of Jiuquan?"

He had seen the fierceness of Jiuquan with his own eyes. As soon as his companion touched it, he would rot and freeze.

Moreover, Chu Rong himself said that the Yin Qi inside was very strong, so the palm of the young man could not keep it. After the treatment of the Yulun Void Realm, he could at best save his life.

If you just dip your palms into the water, the final result will be so serious. In the words of the beginning, except for those who have a good chance, everyone else who can't retreat as soon as they enter the Jiuquan, then the whole The women who sacrificed all sank into the nine springs, wouldn't it be life-threatening?

"Yes it is."

Chu Rong seemed to be unable to see the horrified look on Pin Luo's face, still calm, smiled and nodded in response.

Perhaps because Pin Luo was with Song Qing’s side, he seemed to have adjusted his attitude towards Pin Luo in time. It was not as it was at the beginning. As soon as the young man interrupted, he frowned. On the contrary, he could deal with him. As usual, smiled and answered his questions.

"But, under the nine springs, isn't there a hurtful Yin Qi?"

Pin Luo was startled by his righteous attitude and stammered a question.

"Yes it is."

Chu Rong smiled back again.

"Then, the selected girl, is that what you said, after gaining the Tao, is there a big chance for someone?"

The more he asked, the lower his voice became, and Chu Rong smiled ‘haha’:

"How is that possible?" He is like a tour guide patiently answering questions for outsiders. "There are very few people who have the opportunity to gain the Tao. How can they be so easy to meet? Maybe it may not be possible for dozens of hundreds of years. Just one example."

Chu Rong's tone was meaningful, as if it meant something, but Pin Luo was already messed up at this time.

Everything in front of him has exceeded his cognition, and his first appearance is calm and peaceful, as if sacrificing human life. This is just a trivial matter that is justified and trivial. It is a matter of cognition of his soul and the past. Great impact.

"Then, the girl who was sacrificed, isn't she going to die?"

He murmured.

Chu Rong still squinted and smiled:

"In a sense, it is indeed severely corroded by Yin Qi, but we also have other ways to deal with it."

Hearing this, the poor young man who was hit hard felt relieved again.

He thought that Chu Rong's words meant that these "fairies" in the Yulun Void Realm had a way to make the sacrificial girls resist the yin at the bottom of Jiuquan, and the pure youth was still thinking about the "maliciousness" that was just deep in his heart. Feeling guilty and remorse for imagination.

"That's great." A blush appeared on his pale cheeks, a little embarrassed:

"Do you have a way to protect the sacrificed girl from the Yin Qi at the bottom of the Nine Springs?"

"How is it possible?" Chu Rong looked a little surprised when he heard him say this, and glanced at him:

"The Yin Qi of Jiuquan reaches its extreme every once in a while, and it is simply difficult to suppress." He explained patiently:

"Although our people have been with Jiuquan all the year round and have certain resistance to such yin Qi, they are not completely immune."

In other words, people in Yulun Void Realm are only more resistant to ‘freezing’ than ordinary people.

"If a person enters the bottom of the spring, they will still be swallowed by Yin Qi. On the contrary, because the resistance is higher than that of ordinary people, the speed of being swallowed will be slower, and the pain will be doubled."

"... Kaka Kaka..." Hearing this, Pin Luo could no longer speak, but the upper and lower teeth in his mouth collided with each other, making a crashing sound.

With great difficulty, he wanted to turn his head to look at Song Qingxiao, and he wanted to open his mouth, but his body didn't seem to be obedient, and he didn't know what to say.

Pin Luo once saw his comrade's hand reaching out into the water. In an instant, his skin swelled dozens of times, and his skin was ulcerated and brittle. One hand was even like this. If the whole person sinks in the water, I don't know what a terrifying scene.

It was a living life, but Chu Rong said it lightly.

Pin Luo, who lives in a modern legal society, can hardly accept the impact of this barbaric and cruel custom. His complexion is sullen and his body trembles.

"But don't worry." Chu Rong seemed to see his ugly expression, and then gently calmed him:

"After accepting the sacrifice, the Yin Qi at the bottom of the Nine Springs will be comforted, and the Yin Qi inside will not be as fierce as it is now."

He squinted his eyes, as if a little amused:

"If your accomplice entered Jiuquan after the sacrifice, if the Yin Qi was not heavy at that time, even if he stretched out his hand to draw the water, he wouldn't be hurt so badly, maybe that hand can still be retained."

"..." Pin Luo shivered even harder when he heard this.

At the price of a human life, so that the water no longer hurts people, how did he feel that the more he heard it, the more bizarre.

As if afraid that Pin Luo and the other two don’t understand, Chu Rong said again:

"The response I'm referring to is that after the sacrifice, there will be a series of cleaning work to ensure that the dead ghost cannot cause trouble and affect others."

"..." Pin Luo shook more severely again.

At the moment, the young people don't regard this Yulun Void Realm as a fairyland in the legend. On the contrary, the more they listen to Chu Rong's introduction, the more they feel that this place is really evil.

He wanted to turn around and flee, not to deal with this group of weird people, what these people did was nothing different from demons and ghosts to young people who had received modern equality, peace, and human life.

It is a pity that several people have reached the end of the corridor and are about to leave the lake.

Uncle Xiang and others are still on the dock, the sound of checking the goods is getting smaller and smaller, and it is almost inaudible.

Turning around now, I'm afraid it won't work. He can't find the way, and he is terrified of the dense fog and Jiuquan. At this time, he can only subconsciously turn his head to look at Song Qingxiao.

But seeing her calmly, Chu Rong's words seemed to have no effect on her.

and many more--

When Pin Luo saw her, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

No more than eighteen years old, beautiful face, although he and Song Qingxiao only met today, although they are not virgins, they are not very familiar with each other, so it is not good to ask girls this question rashly.

But she has met the first two items, and there is a high probability that she will meet the conditions of sacrifice.

After all, I am afraid that Uncle Xiang will not do useless things, and deliberately brought a girl into the Yulun Void Realm.

After talking with Chu Rong, he discovered that the "immortals" in Yulun Void Realm were not the usual thoughts of being benevolent and cherishing the common people in his imagination. On the contrary, they might regard human life as savage, savage, and cruel. Uncle Xiang, who has been dealing with people in the Yulun Void Realm for decades, has also fallen to the bottom of his impression.

He originally thought that the old man had a disgusting and good face, but now it seems that he took it for granted.

Uncle Xiang was on the boat several times and threatened to throw those who dared to oppose him into the Nine Dragon Caves. At that time, he thought Uncle Xiang was just a threat. Now it seems that the old man's heart is so dark that he might really do it. Live the matter of annihilating conscience.

He brought Song Qingxiao over. I'm afraid he didn't collect money to bring people in to open his eyes, but he might have made a vicious idea.

The more young people thought about it, the more feared, their complexion changed from blue to white, and then from white to gold. After a while, they sweated profusely and scratched their heads in a hurry, but because Chu Rong was still here, he didn't dare to say anything. Just a few moments, but Song Qing kept winking.

Song Qingxiao didn't seem to see his eyes. Instead, he glanced at Chu Rong and said:

"No more than eighteen years old, beautiful face, pure body..." She mentioned these points, every time she said, Pin Luo trembled, even more anxious.

She ignored the young man who was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and asked with a smile:

"It seems that I am very qualified for this condition. Could it be that you regard me as a distinguished guest, and you also regard me as a candidate for Shen Quan this time?"

"Ah, you..." Pin Luo almost fainted with his eyes open. In a hurry, he even spouted a mouthful of foam from the corner of his mouth. He was about to stop Song Qing from speaking, but Chu Rong smiled:

"of course not."

"Don't say ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Huh?" Before Pin Luo's voice fell, he heard what Chu Rong said, and let out a cry of surprise.

"You are a distinguished guest from afar, how can you use you to come to Shenquan?" Chu Rong felt very unbelievable at Song Qingxiao's words, but his attitude at the moment was not only uncomfortable, but made Pinluo only feel that The more he looked at his calm expression, the more a chill rose from his spine, which made his hair stand upside down.

A large amount of cold sweat leaked from the pores, soaking the clothes on the towel body, and then being topped by the hairs, and when he moved, he made a piercing sound of'Xi Xi Suo', which was multiplied in his senses. Very clear.

"The candidates for the Dragon King Festival have already been determined. You can stay here and have a good time this time." He squinted his eyes and smiled, as if he was a bit aftertaste:

"We are really deserted here on weekdays. There are no guests to talk about, and there is no entertainment. The Dragon King Festival can be said to be the most lively event. It is very interesting and I hope you will like it too."

"..." The young man with sweaty cheeks shivered, crying deep in his heart: I won't like it! Ghosts like this thing! I just want to go back!
