Chapter 39 Section 38: Shooting God and the King of the Forest

Just as the sun rose to the top of the mountain and was about to hit the gate of the temple, a beautiful woman in a white dress walked out of the temple. Her appearance let Chu Feng know what it means to be glamorous and incomparable!She has a real natural beauty.The facial features seem to have the characteristics of Belarusians, but also have the softness of oriental women.On her face, the pure softness and compelling beauty are perfectly blended.She doesn't look very old, at most in her early thirties! "This is Nisha's mother?" In the temple ahead, although Da Qi didn't fully understand the conversation between Chu Feng and the "high priest", he could hear something, and Chu Feng pointed out the giant man "high priest" It was Nisha's mother who pretended to be it, and the "high priest" did not deny it.Isn't the beauty in front of me wearing a white priest's robe and stepping up to the high platform the only Aunt Nisha whom I have never met?

"Excellent!" William was in a daze from the first time he saw the woman, and finally wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, but then came out this sentence. "Is she Nisha's aunt? I thought Nisha's aunt was an aunt!" Ling Ning was beside Chu Feng, and she heard Da Qi's words. Out of female jealousy, she deliberately dismissed him. pouted. Everyone's discussion didn't affect the action of the beauty. She was wearing a gorgeous religious ceremony costume with long sleeves fluttering up the steps.Only the center part of the topmost floor of that high platform was not dark gold, but glowing bright yellow. The beautiful priest walked slowly to the center, and suddenly drew out a dagger and slashed at her left arm!

"what!" "Grandma—" Blood splattered everywhere, and the "savages" in the audience were ebullient, and the shouts of "oh ho, oh ho" became more urgent!Ling Ning's screams and Nisha's screams were buried in it! After the beautiful priest on the stage smeared the center of the altar with her own blood, she stopped bleeding. Even so, her blood loss was too much, which made her face even paler. , It even added a bit of morbid beauty! Although her legs were sore from the blood loss, she was soon dancing in a strange rhythm.With that gorgeous robe, she actually turned such a mysterious sacrificial ceremony into a beautiful and distinctive dance performance!Every movement of her body is so natural and smooth, so in line with the true meaning of natural beauty!Her movements are in perfect harmony with the rhythm of the "savages" in the audience hitting the ground with sticks.All of a sudden, the blood of everyone in the audience was boiling with enthusiasm!

Her dancing became faster and faster, and the beat rhythm of the "savages" became faster and faster!Everyone felt that their heartbeats seemed to be uncontrollable, "booming" and about to jump out of their chests! The shouting voices of the "savages" are no longer an out-of-tune "oh ho", but seem to have some syllables. Chu Feng carefully distinguishes them, and feels that they are vaguely like the four words "ah, yes, blue, shouting". pronounce. He chewed these syllables several times in his mouth, and suddenly his face changed, "Aslan Khan!" It's the Lion King!

At this time, the priestess on the stage moved faster and faster, and even brought out an afterimage, and the rhythm of the audience became faster and faster, and everyone felt their hearts were going to explode!Very uncomfortable!At this moment, suddenly a scream resounded through the sky! Before the sound fell, "Clank!" There was a sound of arrow clusters flying into the air, and all the "savages" each held a bow, and the arrow pointed to the black bag on the high platform. It was too late and then quickly, dozens of arrows fired in volley, the momentum was not small, and the black thing burst in response. It turned out that there was blood in it, but it was shot by the arrow at this time, and immediately flew all over the sky, and the blood on the high platform was dripping. Even the body and face of the beauty in the white robe was covered with blood!In an instant, she transformed from a god of beauty into a hellish ghost!

"This is?" Seeing this ceremony, Chu Feng recalled a certain record he had read in a book, squinted his eyes, and was full of doubts in his heart. "Nisa, what is your mother doing? Why did she make herself bloody?" Seeing Nisha beside her, Ling Ning hurriedly asked the question in his heart! "This is the 'Shooting God'. Every year our family sacrifices, this ceremony must be held first!" Nisha was in a daze after seeing her grandmother draw a knife and smear the altar with her own blood.Answering Ling Ning at this time, the voice was still a little erratic.

"Shooting God?" Ling Ning felt strange. Didn't ordinary ancient people worship the gods?Why is there such a tribe that inherits the "Shooting God", as if they have a sworn feud with the so-called "God"! "Why is this ceremony held every year? Is there any particularity?" Sangbu and Wang Cong, who were born and bred in Xinjiang, have never seen this ceremony, which is very strange! "I don't know! Grandma didn't tell me!" Nisha looked at the dancing figure on the stage with tears in her eyes, her face was pale! "Then what's next? Are there any other activities?" William took out his camera again. He seems to be born with such a string, as long as the immediate crisis is resolved, he will ignore it, as if he is just an ordinary tourist who comes here to travel guest.

"Next, next... is to choose 'King of the Forest'!" Nisha said while trembling all over, she saw Da Qi in a blink of an eye, she couldn't help it, ran over to Da Qi and knelt down for him with a "plop"! "Uncle Qi, I know you don't like me all the time, but I really let those brothers go. We didn't kill the brother on the stake outside. Please, let my aunt go, okay?" Little Nisha begged Daqi's trouser leg, her voice was desperate and mournful, it really moved the listener to tears, Ling Ning couldn't help but stepped forward to fight the injustice, fortunately, he was held back by Chu Feng!

Da Qi, who was secretly scolded by her for being cold-blooded, was really wronged, because he didn't know what Nisha meant, so he had to look to Chu Feng for help. "Nisa, get up first! If you really want to save your grandma, you have to tell us the truth! Otherwise, we won't be able to help you!" Chu Feng softly comforted, motioning Ling Ning to take Nisha away. help up. "I said, I said, Uncle Chu, I'll tell you whatever you want to know!" Nisha heard the meaning of Chu Feng's words, hope greatly increased in her heart, and she nodded repeatedly! "Tell me everything!" Chu Feng knew very well that Nisha in front of him might not know everything, but at least it could solve many questions in his mind.

"Our tribe has lived by this small lake for a long time. Grandma said it has been thousands of years! Since 20 years ago..." An ancient tribe with a mysterious mission, Nisha's mother was the saint of the tribe.There is a tradition in the tribe that all high priests must be held by outsiders, and outsiders must break off the branches of the sacred tree next to the temple to be eligible to challenge.If the new challenger kills the old high priest, he will become the new high priest; otherwise, the old priest will successfully defend his title.This ceremony is also called the selection of the "King of the Forest". The winner will not only become the most authoritative high priest of the tribe in the future, but also become the "King of the Forest" for seven days.During these seven days, the "King of the Forest" can have sex with any woman in the tribe, and of course the tribe's saint will be the first.

But all this changed 20 years ago. Nisha's mother was brought up by the former high priest. She had a deep affection for the aging high priest, and then fell in love with the outsider man who broke in by mistake that year. .Nisha's mother couldn't bear to see her lover and relatives fighting each other, so she let her sweetheart go quietly. As a result, the old priest became the only high priest in the tribe who died of natural causes for thousands of years. Two years later, the old priest died, and the position of high priest was passed on peacefully for the first time, with Nisha's grandmother as his successor.That man is back here.Nisha's mother's old relationship was unforgettable, and the two resumed their relationship, but Nisha's mother discovered that the man's purpose was not pure, and he actually came for the gold in the valley. The mining of gold has destroyed the ecology here. The lake water was originally slightly salty and contained natural salt, but it suddenly became bitter. The tribesmen had no salt to eat, and their bodies quickly grew long white hair, and then their intelligence became lower and lower.Fortunately, Nisha's mother found out in time, drove the man and his people out, blocked the original passage of the valley, and opened another tunnel, so that the secret of the valley was preserved. No matter how many ways Nisha's aunt came up with, the people in the tribe would never return to their original state, and everyone's life expectancy and fertility seemed to be affected. People in the tribe died every year, but few babies were born.Grandma thought this was God's punishment for her, and planned to restore the practice of captiveing ​​outsiders, thinking that only by restoring the original sacred traditions of the tribe could the bad luck brought to the tribe by herself be resolved. After she gave birth to Nisha, she raised Nisha for several years, fearing that she would become a "savage", so she sent Nisha, who was only 5 years old, outside the mountain. After Nisha finished telling the story, everyone fell into silence. "So, I'm going to go on stage later, to kill your aunt, or be killed by her?" Da Qi looked at the figure still dancing fast in the stands, and felt his mouth dry! "No, grandma won't kill you, Uncle Qi, the present grandma is incapable of killing you!" Nisha was still young, and she didn't shy away from speaking at all. "By the way, what is that 'big guy'? We have all seen that guy up close, and we can be sure that it is not a robot, nor is it a simple body. It looks like a real person! Since your grandma's real appearance is So, then, what is that thing?" Sambu was puzzled. "It's 'mu'!" Nisha replied, "There was this in the tribe a long, long time ago. This is a secret that only the great shaman knew. Originally, there were not only the high priest but also the high shaman in the tribe. A new high priest was born. Finally, you need the blessing of the great shaman to master 'Mu'! But then there were no great shamans in the tribe. When the last great shaman died, my grandmother was still young. When my grandmother became the high priest, the inheritance of the great shaman was also Can't continue. The old priest had to pass everything on to Grandma." Nisha really knew everything and said everything! "Then why did your mother arrest us? Is it for today's sacrifice?" Chu Feng was still puzzled! "Yes, Grandma thinks that in order to unravel the curse of the tribe and allow the tribe to continue to pass on, the original tradition must be restored! Only in this way can everyone return to their original state! Grandma said that this is all her own sin, and she wants to atone for it!" Nisha is going to cry again! "What nonsense is this!" Da Qi raised his head and glanced at the increasingly crazy woman on the high platform. Thinking that she designed so many things, the purpose was to let her die on that golden altar, Da Qi couldn't help but think. curse! "Oh!" Chu Feng glanced at Da Qi who was inexplicably angry, and his heart moved, but he still had a lot of business to do, so he didn't care about these things: "Nisa, has your 'Ada' not eaten people for many years?" "Ah!" Nisha was unprepared, and was taken aback by his sudden question: "Uncle Chu, how do you know that my 'Ada' used to eat people?" "Not only do I know that 'Ada' used to eat people, but I also know that it used to eat people on this high platform, right?" Chu Feng still said kindly, it seemed that what they were talking about was not about cannibalism, but What a picturesque scene, Ling Ning's face turned pale as he listened. "Yes! Every year after the sacrifice, the last offering left on the high platform will be eaten by 'Ada'! 'Ada' has lived in the tribe for a long time! When I was very young, Ada was my good friend! Later I went outside the mountains, and 'Ada' often came to see me. Once when 'Ada' came to visit me, he ate the sheep from my father and mother's house, and he suddenly liked the taste of cattle and sheep! Uncle Chu, why are you Will you know this?" Nisha was very puzzled. "Hehe, do you want to know why I know? That's because I saw a word on the cliff!" Chu Feng didn't try to show off!He picked up a branch casually, and drew an oracle bone inscription "God" on the ground beside him, "Look, does this character look like a big snake on the right wanting to eat something on the high platform on the left?" Chu Feng pointed at the tree branch. Said with that word. "Really!" Ling Ning leaned his head from behind him, "It really looks like, the three columns on the left are the legs supporting the high platform!" Nod yes! "When I first saw that snake, I was thinking, how many years does it take to grow such a big snake! This is definitely not something that a little girl like Nisha can afford! Do you still remember, Nisha's adoptive father , What did you say when you mentioned the Kanas Lake Monster?" Chu Feng reminded everyone! "I remember. He said that although some people have seen the lake monster before, the lake monster never went ashore. In the past ten years, many herdsmen's cattle and sheep have been eaten by the lake monster on the shore!" William immediately remembered. What the uncle said, because he was most interested in the legend of the lake monster at the beginning, so he remembers these words best! "That's right! At that time, I didn't take this question to heart. It wasn't until I met Nisha in the camp that I suddenly remembered that it was the twelve years since Nisha went to the village that the legends of the lake monsters came ashore. Later, I saw the close relationship between Nisha and the big snake, and I immediately guessed that maybe the large number of "bloody incidents" by the lake were caused by this big snake!" Chu Feng looked at Nisha while explaining. The girl nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, the tight string in her heart suddenly loosened. "That's good, Da Qi, don't be lenient on the stage later, but save Nisha's mother's life!" Chu Feng turned to Da Qi and told him.The sacrificial dance on the stage is coming to an end.The woman had already stopped, only chattering and chattering. Soon, four "savages" ran over from the other side of the stage. After seeing the branch in Da Qi's hand, they were so excited that they all prostrated themselves on the ground.Chu Feng signaled that it was time for Da Qi to appear. Da Qi strode up to the high platform, and unexpectedly discovered that the woman had a long bronze sword that often appeared in film and television works in her hand!The rusty sword body and quaint casting pattern all show that its age is very long. Da Qi got Chu Feng's warning and didn't dare to underestimate the woman in front of him, but he still underestimated his opponent and almost paid a heavy price for it. Chu Feng was in the audience, and saw that Da Qi was stunned after coming to the stage, and the young priestess stepped forward and stabbed with a sword!I cried out "Oops" in my heart! Fortunately, Da Qi had good instincts, although his eyes were still confused, he instinctively avoided the critical point. "Stab!" With a sound, the sharp blade was bloody, and a deep blood groove was pulled open on Da Qi's right arm!This is not caused by that "antique" bronze sword.The priestess had already put on a sharp long dagger in her hand.It was this dagger that caused Da Qi to die! Da Qi, who had rarely been injured in recent years, was enraged all of a sudden. He ignored the bleeding from his wound, rubbed his body with his bare hands, and fought desperately with the high priest. Seeing his captain seeing blood, the eyes of the underground "little monk" and others were all red, but they were stopped by Chu Feng!He seemed to have a plan in mind, but he also murmured in his heart: "Miscalculation! Miscalculation! Why didn't I expect her to attack mentally? Oh, aren't those witchcraft just hints in my heart? So her spiritual power is really strong..." "I can't figure it out! I can't figure it out! The "God of Shooting God" sacrifice of my Yin Shang ancestors in China is actually mixed with the ancient Romans' sacrifice ceremony to the "Goddess of the Forest"! Is this because I am outdated, or is the world changing fast?" Chu Feng watched the stage nervously, and thought with a wry smile!
