Chapter 480: Sacrifice

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

She knows better than anyone that Mrs. Ji's hatred of Ji Luo has already been almost crazy. If she doesn't make it clear, she is not allowed to pay attention, and Shen Yijia will be killed by Mrs. Ji.

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

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

She didn't realize it until she saw the flower tin on 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 twisted.

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 her 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's Mo Tong's incompetence. Please punish the young master."

"Without our people to lead 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."

When she completes the spirit change, what is Song Jingchen?

She waved her hand to let Mo Tong go down.

"Yes."

After 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 until there is no conclusion.

Moreover, not only Shen Yijia, but also herself, was involved in the matter of changing the spirit. Doctors do not heal themselves, and sorcerers can't make divinations for themselves.

The only thing she can do is to prevent any changes 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 it to her."

Mo Yu bowed his head.

In the room, Shen Yijia still kept the same posture when she left, Mo Yu looked at her for a while, and then stepped forward after confirming that there was nothing unusual, 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 faintly.

It's over, which means you'll never wake up again.

Shen Yijia closed her eyes obediently.

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

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

A flash of lightning pierced the sky, bringing a brief light, and the person who was lying quietly on the couch suddenly opened his eyes, and soon his jaws again.

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

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

The seeds that had just been sown were all destroyed by this rain, but everyone could no longer care about this loss.

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

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, 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, it will inevitably lead to unwarranted disasters.

In the past, when there was a spiritual spring under the pressure, everyone could live without disease and disaster, but since the last valley owner defected, the spiritual spring has already dried up...

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

While everyone was discussing, the door of the main hall of the Priest Hall opened.

Ji Yunxi and Si Yun walked out slowly.

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

"The god card weeps 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 don't know why the priest knows 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 a bloody hexagram last night, and I finally got a glimpse of the mystery..."

The blood-induced hexagram means literally, 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 hexagram, and even damages the lifespan.

Who would be willing to sacrifice so much?

Even if Ji Yunxi hadn't said anything yet, everyone could guess the seriousness of the matter.

"I always thought it was my fault that the Lingquan dried up, but I didn't know until last night that it wasn't the case." Ji Yunxi smiled bitterly: "Our ancestors in Tianjigu have been working 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 divination every day, and most of the money obtained from divination 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. When there were more people asking, she said sadly, "Sacrifice human animals to heaven and ask for sins."

The crowd was in an uproar, and the human sacrifices were sacrificed to 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.

"I don't know how many people are needed?" The elder asked with a dark face.

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

"This……"

Not to mention the lack of time, even if they were given more time to prepare, it would be impossible to arrest people outside to offer sacrifices, and that would only owe more debts.

That is to say, these eighty-one virgins need to be found in their clan.

Everyone's faces were a little ugly, especially if there were 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."

She 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 didn't dry up because of Ji Yunxi, she could take over the position of Valley Master at any time.

The people of Tianji Valley have a deep-seated reverence towards 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 violated the clan rules and betrayed Tianji Valley.

Just like Ji Luo, because when she betrayed, she was no longer the owner of Tianji Valley.

Moreover, Lingquan is indeed attractive enough.

Even if there are people who 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 81 children to the priesthood.

Torches were lit around the priesthood, illuminating the entire courtyard.

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

These eight people are 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 reverently and exited the priesthood.

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

Eighty-one virgins or girls had been told by their family members, and there was no fear on their faces. Instead, they looked at the eight people who were singing with pride.

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

At the end of the singing, the two disciples came out of the side hall with two large trays, each of which was filled with bamboo tubes the size of wine glasses.

The two walked in front of the children and divided the bamboo tubes one by one.

They were also obedient, holding the small bamboo tube, and sipped it until the high priest on the altar asked to drink it.

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

He had never drank it, nor did Aon, but Aon heard from an old man who had passed away.

The others were also very happy, and even forgot what the elders said before they came to teach in a proper manner. They 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.

Pa Da ~ 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 then walked 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.

Taking the torch, Si Yun walked up the wooden ladder next to the stone tripod step by step.

The wind gradually picked up, blowing his robe up, and his hair was dodged 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 the flower tin between her forehead, and muttered regretfully, "That woman did everything for your organization, but in the end she fulfilled me, what a pity."

That being said, her eyes were clearly full of joy.

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

Blood rushed out suddenly, and at the same time she began to sing something in a low voice.

However, 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.

However, 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, and she didn't have time to say anything, when she suddenly felt a pain in her wrist and the dagger fell to the ground. She lowered her head to look, and caught 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 gripped by Shen Yijia, not only did she not pull it out, but instead pulled Shen Yijia from the ground to sit up.

Her eyes narrowed, and her other hand brushed over the cuff, but before she could touch the silver needle hidden above, her wrist was buckled again.

Shen Yijia grinned, and her subordinates exerted force.

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

I like poisoning so much, if you break your hand, let's see how you can do it!

"Ah~" A piercing cry of pain sounded.

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

Mo Yu was stunned for a moment. The man had already tore off his black robe and covered his head over her. The movement was too great, and he was also taken off the mask. 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 distractions.

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

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

"Bang~", Sheng Sheng smashed a hole in the floor.

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

With one punch in the air, Shen Yijia puffed out her cheeks in 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.

"You... lie to me, you didn't have a psychedelic incense at all. No, why didn't you have a psychedelic incense..." Ji Yunxi quickly avoided, stood up and took two steps back, looking at Shen Yijia unwillingly.

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 recruited?

She made a gesture and wanted to punch again, Ji Yunxi wanted to avoid it again, but she didn't want Shen Yijia's small fist to be retracted, and she took out the long whip from her waist and slammed it towards Ji Yunxi.

"Crack~" Ji Yunxi couldn't dodge in time, and there were more holes in his body instantly.

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

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

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

However, 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.

"Pa~" 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~" She even tried to let her blood out. It was really a tiger who didn't show its power, and everyone thought she was a sick cat.

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

On the other side, Si Yun was knocked to the ground by Song Jingchen, spit out a mouthful of blood, suddenly felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and saw his people fell 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.

At this time, 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 after another.

The footsteps were 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 face them head-to-head.

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

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