Chapter 116 Too late
The woman's hat was too big and dark, covering her face and making it impossible to see what she looked like.
In her hand, she held a long scepter, and on the top of the scepter was a ball of red rags.
He looked both majestic and dejected.
"Brother, who is that tall man in rags on the stage?" Sheng Qingye asked the villager next to him.
Tang Yixin sometimes felt that Sheng Qingye was probably a social bully.
The villager who was asked looked up at Sheng Qingye, probably thinking that he looked okay, and replied:
"Brother, I see you are not from this place?!"
"Just passing by." Sheng Qingye said.
"The one on the stage is our high priest, named Lili. He wears the Wanjia cloth, which is our blessing."
"Oh..." Sheng Qingye nodded slightly.
Tang Yixin heard that the high priest was called Lili.
Lili?
He suddenly remembered a poem.
"The system automatically searches for ancient poems... The grass is lush on the plain..." It seems that the search function of Youyou has been activated.
"No need." Tang Yixien said immediately.
"arrow"
Tang Yixin felt that there was something strange about the poem when he read it.
"Uh..."
Mr. Li on the stage suddenly shouted.
The sound was as sharp as a knife, piercing the sky. Tears welled up in his eyes and he cried out in pain:
"I regret it. I won't be the chosen one anymore. I regret it. Please forgive me. Please."
He put his hands in front of him and begged for mercy as if bowing.
But no one responded to him, only some cold eyes watching the fun.
At this moment, his emotions suddenly got out of control and he rushed off the stage.
There were several burly men standing in the audience. As if they had expected this, they grabbed Master Li's hands and feet and dragged him back to the stage.
Everyone looked as if they were used to it and their expressions remained indifferent.
Just like that, Master Li was dragged back onto the stage again.
He was close to collapse at this point.
Suddenly he burst into laughter, and the upturned corners of his mouth and the tears that kept flowing down mixed together made him look particularly hideous and terrifying.
"You... have such a cruel heart. I'm your son too. Why did you choose me? Why? Tell me!"
He pointed directly at an old woman in the audience, crying and denouncing her in despair.
This person was indeed chosen from the family, and was chosen by his own mother.
This is a bit too cruel.
Tang Yixien really didn’t understand. Could there be such a cruel mother in the world?
"The time has come..."
The high priest Lili slammed the long scepter in his hand to the ground with a bang.
This voice was like a knife stabbing into Master Li's heart.
Mr. Li's expression suddenly froze, he suddenly stopped talking, his eyes almost froze, revealing deep despair and helplessness.
Several burly men came on stage, lifted up the limp Master Li, threw him into the cage, and then slammed the door shut.
The despair in Master Li's eyes gradually turned into madness and deep resentment. He grabbed the cage with both hands, looked at the people present in the audience, and shouted:
"The people in this town will suffer retribution. Retribution... We are not human beings at all, we are devils. Devil... I hate..."
Immediately afterwards, Master Li laughed out loud.
The people in the audience still had no reaction and were all looking at him.
Tang Yixien had a feeling that these people were not normal and were too cold-blooded.
"Mr. Li's words are very strange. He even scolded himself?" Jin Xiaoxiao frowned and said softly.
"Not a human? What does that mean?" Xuan Yuran muttered.
Tang Yixin is still not sure what the Heaven Chosen Ceremony they are talking about is actually about.
But if it was a living sacrifice and murder, he would definitely not stand idly by.
The sacrifices he knew never ended well.
The devil is in the human heart and is always greedy.
He was about to stop him when at this moment, Master Li suddenly started shouting again.
This cry was completely different from the previous one.
The scream sounded like being cut by a knife. It was made when in extreme pain, and each scream was extremely tragic.
He began to grab himself frantically, and then flames suddenly ignited on his body. The next moment, he and the yellow robe he was wearing turned into white ash.
All this happened so suddenly that Tang Yixin didn't react at all, and his expression became solemn.
There was complete silence all around, not even a sighing sound.
"The ceremony of the chosen one is completed, and may you be safe and peaceful." The high priest on the stage raised the scepter in his hand and shouted in a long tone.
The people in the audience also shouted along.
"The chosen ceremony is complete, may you be healthy and peaceful!"
"The chosen ceremony is complete, may you be healthy and peaceful!"
"Was that fire just now?" Sheng Qingye asked loudly with his eyes covering the dark light.
"Yes." Xuan Yuran replied with a hint of surprise.
Jin Xiaoxiao's calm expression darkened slightly at this moment. He seemed to have sensed something, but he was not sure.
The Lingxi fan in his hand emitted a strange faint light, as if something on the stage had just been taken away.
Xiao Yan happened to be here too, and he also saw what happened on the stage just now.
An expression of extreme seriousness and shock appeared on his face.
He is from the Law Enforcement Hall, and what he cannot tolerate the most is the abuse of lynching, which disregards life.
However, this kind of sacrifice is always common in the remote mountain villages of Yuanzhi Continent.
He had encountered it once when he was on a trial hunting trip alone.
He went to stop it.
I still remember that he was chased and beaten by local people for three streets.
He said that he had destroyed their peaceful and prosperous times. Since he was a cultivator, he couldn't attack the people, so he could only flee.
His body was covered with rotten vegetable leaves, and his head was covered with green leaves.
This time, he encountered it again and hesitated whether to intervene or not.
In the crowd, he saw Tang Yixin and his disciples from afar.
He didn't need to look specifically, because these four people were the most outstanding no matter where they were.
He pushed through the crowd in front of him, walked over, and came to Tang Yixin's side.
Several people bowed.
Xiao Yan attaches great importance to etiquette, and everyone is used to it.
At this time, the people on the stage had already begun to skillfully clean up the pile of white ashes in the cage.
Cleaning and putting into bags can be done almost in one go.
You can tell at a glance that he does these things often.
And the high priest Lili had long since disappeared.
A person who is so tall can disappear just like that.
The crowd began to disperse, and the sounds of the bustling market could be heard again.
It was as if Master Li had never existed.
But the old woman, Mr. Li's mother, had a look of relief on her face. Not a single tear was seen. She seemed to have let go of something and disappeared into the crowd.
Soon, they were the only ones left there.
Tang Yixin felt a little heavy-hearted. He regretted not saving Master Li at the beginning.
"Master, you can't save him." Jin Xiaoxiao saw the self-blame and compassion in Tang Yixien's eyes.
He guessed that his master wanted to save people.
"That's right, the fire core in his body is extremely fast, there's no time at all." Xuan Yuran said.
