Chapter 322 The Story of the Sword God
"Alas... human sacrifice... I haven't heard this name for a long time..."
"Nyuhru!?"
Chakota took a few quick steps in surprise and pushed open the gate.
Niu Helu, the priest of the Hubuyu clan, was standing outside the courtyard with a cane.
The urgent evening breeze mixed with fine snowflakes blew his clothes all over the place, but the little old man stood there like a stone, with a layer of snow like salt grains on his head.
"Nyuhlu! Why are you here?!"
"Chakota, a distant story is like a merchant ship that sank in the sea. Although it cannot be seen, fishermen who go out to sea will always catch its scattered cargo."
Niu Helu's hoarse voice was heard by everyone in the wind and snow: "Chakota, you grew up listening to the stories of the Sword God. Almost all the children of the Hubuyu clan worship him. However, those thousands and thousands of human sacrifices that disappeared were taken away by him..."
"Sword God... and... human sacrifice..."
Chakota's eyes widened in disbelief.
Guan Tang Bao was keenly aware of something and asked, "Do you also know about human sacrifice here?"
"I, I don't know much," Chakota seemed a little flustered, and even her words were a little incoherent, but she hesitated for a moment and said, "When I was young, every time I was naughty and wanted to go out to play, my parents would scare me, saying that the soul-eaters outside would suck my blood dry, and that there were monsters that would make human sacrifices of disobedient children... They would capture them, chop off their legs, and then keep them in cages..."
Niu Helu laughed. It was already completely dark, but the quartz embedded in the wall made his wrinkled face very clear, even looking a little weird.
He said: "The human sacrifices will not have their feet chopped off, but will be dug up wherever the masters need them. The Sword God... He likes to use the hearts of human sacrifices to refine his own swords, and use the brain oil of human sacrifices to wipe the scabbard..."
Chakota opened his mouth with difficulty and asked, "But Sword God, didn't Sword God kill the sea beast and protect the people of Liuzhou?!"
"Yes, but he killed the sea beasts and protected the people of Liuzhou for his own sake..."
"For my own property!"
The Jade Emperor continued, "Slaves are the property of slave owners. When they protect slaves, they are actually protecting their own property, not really protecting human lives!"
"Haha, what this little brother said is right. He wants to have enough people's hearts to refine the sword in the future, and enough brain oil to wipe the scabbard." Niu Helu narrowed his eyes and slowly said something that shocked everyone: "Because, I was once a human sacrifice raised by the Sword Sect."
“What the hell!?”
Not only were the players surprised, Chakota also cried out: "Nyuhlu!?"
"Why do you all have such expressions?"
Niu Helu laughed hoarsely, then revealed a smug expression that was completely different from his previous calmness, and said: "My parents were human sacrifices. In order to have more human sacrifices, the Sword Sect forced the fat human sacrifices to mate, just like forcing animals to give birth to cubs, and let the human sacrifices give birth to little human sacrifices. Fortunately, when I was taken away to have my heart cut out at the age of five, I drew Qi into my body in front of the Sword God, and the Sword Sect adopted me. I went from being a human sacrifice to a sword slave. After becoming a sword slave, the day before the Soul Devouring Rift appeared, I stole the divine fire from the sect's sword furnace and burned down the Sword God's house and his sword! Hehe!"
The Jade Emperor felt that this "Sword Slave" was not a good identity, so he asked: "What is a Sword Slave?"
"I am a servant who is responsible for maintaining the swords in the Sword Sect. In name, I am also a disciple of the Sword Sect, but in reality... I am a servant. However, I am luckier than my parents who have no memories at all. At least I have saved my life."
The royal bamboo grass beside her was so angry that her hands were shaking. She was too embarrassed to speak directly, so she typed in the team channel: "This Sword Sect, it better be in trouble!"
Other players were no better. Renxinhuadao simply used old tradition to scold the game planner: "You bastard planner, I'm going to send you razor blades!"
Chakota frowned, "No, Niu Helu! How did you escape from the Sword Sect after doing something like that?"
"The Sword God tied a magic soul-binding lock to my soul. He tore my soul apart like a cat catching a mouse, but he didn't kill me in one breath. He wanted me to feel the pain of despair..."
Niu Helu seemed to be lost in memories. His whole body was shaking as if he was afraid, but his face had an extremely unbridled and carefree smile. "I was really desperate at that time. I ran like crazy, but I couldn't get rid of him. He was like a hunter chasing wild dogs. The soul-binding chain he pulled was sometimes loose and sometimes tight. He hated me so much! Do you know that it was only when he hated me so much that he treated me as a human being!
"However, Lian Tian was helping me. When he was driving me away, suddenly, the ground cracked and the Soul Devouring Valley appeared. He lost his patience, probably because he was worried that something might happen to the Sword Sect. Anyway, he pulled my Heavenly Soul out of my body... and pulled it out alive...
“But when the Soul Binding Chain flew above the Soul Devouring Rift, it instantly fell into it. After my Heavenly Soul was freed from the Soul Binding Chain, it flew back into my physical body.
"That's when I realized! Even the high and mighty Sword God can be at a loss sometimes! The Sword God is also a human being! Hahahaha!"
As Niu Helu spoke, his laughter became increasingly crazy, but Chakota silently shed tears, his eyes as red as a rabbit's.
“He tried many ways. No matter what it was, as long as it flew over the rift, it would fall and disappear, so he didn’t dare to fly over to catch me himself. Even the various spells and magic talismans he used were isolated by the rift and couldn’t touch me at all!
"He's furious! But there's nothing he can do! Ahahahaha!"
Niu Helu laughed wildly, and his hoarse voice echoed in the dark night, accompanied by flying snow.
It was clearly laughter, but it made the players feel extremely sad.
"Later," Niu Helu continued after laughing enough, "Later, I saw with my own eyes that a red and black fog enveloped him. He kept flying up to the sky, trying to get out of the strange fog, but no matter how he flew, he couldn't be faster than the fog. The last thing I saw was his eyes!"
Niu Helu emphasized: "Do you know? The eyes of the Sword God are exactly the same as the eyes of the human sacrifice who is about to be dragged away and have his heart cut out!"
Chakota sniffed hard and said in a crying voice: "Nuhelu..."
"Niu Helu is old, and the wolves of the Hubuyu clan can no longer protect his cubs." Niu Helu touched Chakota's head, his hoarse voice full of misery and doting: "I don't want this story to be buried in the soil with me. This is the most satisfying thing I have ever done in my life!"
Chakota pulled Niu Helu's wide sleeves and said, "Niu Helu, what's wrong with you?"
"Chakota, don't worry, Niu Helu is fine, but he will have to go back to Abaga sooner or later. But before that, I can live for a long, long time!"
Niu Helu patted Chakota's hand kindly, then turned around and asked the Jade Emperor and others with a serious look: "Dear guests from afar, why did you come to Liuzhou to find the Sword Sect?"
