Chapter 52: The Art of Sacrifice

This witch book says it is a book, but in fact it is made of silk silk, and the handwriting on it is embroidered with gold and silver thread.

In this way, it should be known that this witch book has an extraordinary origin, and the silk book alone is already very valuable, and what is recorded in it must be very important.

Otherwise, it would never be recorded with such a precious silk book gold and silver thread!

And the text on it is even more ancient, like a bird, which should be a kind of bird seal.

Fortunately, there is an ink translation next to this silk book, and the handwriting should be written by Wu Cheng.

Tao Xiaowu took a few glances and already knew the origin of this silk book.

"It was actually written by a court wizard in the Middle Ages...... Yes, the Xi Kingdom is an ancient power, known as the god of fire, and is also a descendant of the even more ancient Emperor Mi.

It is said that witchcraft is prevalent in this country, and the kings of the past dynasties are themselves great witches.

The vicinity of Hengyin is also the territory of the Xi Kingdom in ancient times.

What this book records should be the witchcraft of the Middle Ages!"

Then Tao Xiaowu realized the origin of this silk book, last time Qiu Yuan said that when he was young, he followed that Wu Cheng to dig graves.

In the past, the streamer bead was a burial object they dug up from a certain cemetery.

From this point of view, this silk book is also from the same origin.

It is even possible that it was dug up from the same grave!

Thinking so, Tao Xiaowu became more and more interested in this silk book.

The power of the ancient wizards is not comparable to that of today's wizards.

It was only with the rise of Confucianism later, which replaced the status of shamans to worship gods, that this led to the decline of shamans!

He wanted to see what was written in this silk book!

The content of the silk book is not too much, and it is estimated that it is only a few hundred words.

However, Wu Cheng's records are quite numerous, with thousands of words.

In addition to translation, he also sporadically recorded some of his own understandings and feelings.

Tao Xiaowu glanced at it a few times, and his heart was pounded, although the handwriting on this silk book is small, but it records a powerful witchcraft, sacrificial art!

This silk book was recorded by the court wizards of the Middle Ages.

However, the royal family of the Middle Ages Xiguo inherited the bloodline of the ancient Heavenly Emperor and the ancient fire god, and it was originally a wizard family.

Perhaps, this so-called court wizard is a big nobleman in his own right, or even a royal family.

And the witchcraft that has been recorded in it is very valuable, and of course it is not ordinary witchcraft.

Because as a wizard who serves the royal family, he has the taste of a protector mage, and his spells involve important national events such as fighting with enemy countries, divining national fortunes, praying for the country, and sacrificing ancestors.

And this medieval sorcerer of the Xi Kingdom only recorded a sacrificial technique, and it seems that he can meet all the requirements!

And the essence of this sacrificial art is actually to use sacrifices, sacrifices to unfathomable beings in the underworld, to get help.

It can be as small as finding a lost item or as big as cursing an enemy country.

It's just that this sacrificial technique pursues the principle of equal exchange, and the higher the requirements, the more sacrifices are naturally needed, and the more valuable they are!

At first glance, it seems that there is nothing remarkable about this sacrificial technique.

Because sacrificing to the gods and getting rewarded, it is a very common thing in this world where there are already gods.

However, it is important to note that the object of this sacrificial art is an unfathomable supreme being in the underworld.

It is even said that as long as there are enough sacrifices, even if you want to curse a celestial emperor, you can do it.

It is recorded in this silk book that there was a time when a certain country attacked the Xi country, but the Xi country launched a sacrificial technique, sacrificing 300 boys and girls, as well as countless jade silk goods.

As a result, the enemy's 100,000-strong army, halfway through, encountered a flash flood and mudslide, and almost all the troops were wiped out!

Tao Xiaowu was thrilled to see it, and thought in his heart that maybe this sacrificial technique could help us solve this crisis.

It's just that this kind of sacrificial art requires altar sacrifices and so on, but there is no ...... here Unless...... Unless we go back to the witches!

This thought can no longer be contained!

Anyway, they can't escape.

Qiu Yuan said that in five or six days, he would be able to escape from the city, and in Tao Xiaowu's opinion, it would take at least two or three more days.

Because the more time passes, the physical strength of those old and weak women and children in Wuli will only become more and more difficult to support.

And this kind of sleeping in the open, it is a simple matter to get sick for a few people.

It's only going to make them move slower and slower!

And at the latest, in a day or two, the city will surely find out about their escape.

Therefore, Tao Xiaowu stood up and found Qiu Yuan.

He had just spoken, and he wanted to explain a few words.

But he didn't expect that Qiu Yuan was the same as he thought, and he also thought that it was impossible to really escape......

Of course, unless Tao Xiaowu and Qiu Yuan's father and son can abandon others, there is still a chance.

It's just that this matter has been discussed at the beginning......

And if there is no sacrificial technique, maybe Tao Xiaowu may really be desperate and flee alone.

But with the sacrificial technique, if he made up his mind to abandon everything and escape, he couldn't do it!

It's just that in the end, Qiu Yuan glanced at Tao Xiaowu deeply and said, "If you pin all your hopes on that witchcraft, then I will tell you." It's not that simple......

It's not like your master hasn't used this kind of witchcraft before, but only one or two out of ten times have succeeded!"

Tao Xiaowu took a deep breath when he heard this, and said, "There is a glimmer of hope, after all, I have to try!"

But in my heart, I said that if I really didn't succeed in any effort, I might be able to find a way at that time.

After all, Tao Xiaowu vaguely felt that in addition to this sacrificial technique, he also had Yu Jue, and he could also use Yu Jue to fugue.

There's even that jurisdictional space...... It's not a dead end!

And Qiu Yuan listened to Tao Xiaowu's words and nodded silently, which was regarded as acquiescing to Tao Xiaowu's statement.

......

In the middle of the night, Tao Xiaowu was suddenly woken up.

The campfire was still half-broken, the night dew was falling, wetting clothes, and many people had already woken up from the cold and gathered around to keep warm.

Some people even discussed going to the neighborhood to pick up a little dead branches and leaves to increase the bonfire.

However, he did not dare to act because he was afraid of the shadows of the shadows on the outskirts of the camp.

"This is not possible, if there is no bonfire, the night moisture will invade the body, and many people will get sick. You'll have to add firewood to the campfire!"

Those who have never slept in the wilderness will never know how cold it is to spend the night in the wilderness.

Especially if you don't have a professional camping tool.

It was a clammy cold that even a campfire couldn't stop.

Not to mention what would happen without a campfire!

Thinking like this, Tao Xiaowu planned to find some firewood.

As soon as he left, Qiu Shan had already quietly followed behind Tao Xiaowu, and the whole person was like a shadow.
