Chapter 293 Successfully Rescued Hertha's Daughter
Suolang stood on the altar, looking at the devout believers kneeling on the sixty-six steps, his eyes full of satisfaction.
He did not hold a drum today, but a scepter that symbolized his status, like a king.
The people shouted respectfully under the altar.
"Please bless me, Master Wizard!"
After Suolang finished his opening remarks, he looked at the six assistants of the shaman dancers and the musicians behind him and nodded.
The music played, the songs of blessing began, and the gods danced.
He waved the scepter in his hand to the beat of the drums.
The copper bell on the scepter made a rhythmic sound, which complemented the sound of drums.
The singing, music and dance are perfectly integrated together, exuding a captivating power that makes people willing to become believers.
Ye Chutang's eyes became blurred.
She was suddenly awakened by a sharp pain in the palm of her hand.
That was a close call!
I was almost hypnotized!
Fortunately, her body instinctively resisted hypnosis, and her nails dug into her palms, pinching herself awake.
She loosened her grip and looked at Qi Shuyan on the altar.
His eyes were out of focus, but his hands were clenched into fists.
It's obvious that he's pretending to be bewitched.
Ye Chutang felt relieved and looked around out of the corner of his eye.
But I didn't find anything wrong.
Where did Solang hide Heta's daughter?
Her gaze was fixed on the altar.
The altar is a rectangular stone platform.
If there is space under the table, someone can hide there.
At this time, the people were kneeling on the ground, and no one would notice the real purpose of Suolang's sacrifice to the sky.
Ye Chutang was not sure whether his guess was correct, so he naturally would not take any action.
She had to wait for Qi Shuyan to give a signal.
At this time, Qi Shuyan had already sensed Aina under the altar.
Aina is the daughter of Heta.
She was so frightened that she was not hypnotized by the witch music.
But she was drugged and could not move or speak, but she could sense everything.
The wrist was cut and blood flowed down a hose.
Knowing that she was going to bleed to death, her eyes were filled with fear, tears flowed uncontrollably, and her breathing became rapid.
After a while, the song of offering sacrifice to heaven ended.
Solang began to recite words of blessing.
The people became more respectful and almost prostrated themselves on the ground.
To Ye Chutang, what he heard sounded a bit like Manchu, but also quite different. Anyway, he could not understand it very well.
After about an incense stick of time, Suolang finished reciting the prayer.
"God, I offer this evil spirit as a sacrifice. May you bestow blessings upon the pious people of Dari State!"
After saying that, he walked quickly towards Ye Chutang.
"Madam Qi, the reason you did something to pollute the holy water is because you are pregnant with a demon fetus."
"The gods will punish you, remove the demon fetus, and purify your soul!"
He pulled out a slender scimitar from his waist, his eyes filled with unconcealable excitement.
Daughter, you will soon be free from illness and live a long life!
Suo Lang once again muttered words that Ye Chutang couldn't understand, and his speed was very fast, which made her feel a little flustered.
She guessed it was a spell that used the child as a medicine.
She didn't dare to take risks with the child, so she didn't wait for Qi Shuyan's signal. She immediately untied the knot and grabbed Suolang's neck.
He grabbed the wrist that held the knife and forced him to let go of the scimitar.
"bite!"
The scimitar hit the stone slab, making a crisp sound.
When Qi Shuyan saw Ye Chutang taking action, he immediately used wire to open the shackles that bound his wrists.
Solang's assistant reacted immediately and shouted, "You bold lunatic, let go of the wizard!"
After saying that, a group of people rushed towards Ye Chutang.
The National Defense Army soldiers kneeling on the steps moved and quickly ran towards the altar.
The people who were bewitched by Zhuge were still crawling on the ground, unaware of the sudden change.
Solang couldn't breathe, his face turned purple, and his eyes turned bloodshot with anger.
The drums sounded.
Ye Chutang's hands seemed to be burned by fire, making it impossible for her to exert any strength.
Solang took the opportunity to break free from the grip.
But a dagger suddenly appeared in Ye Chutang's hand and stabbed into Suolang's heart.
The blow would not kill him immediately.
But if it is not treated in time, he will surely die.
Solang looked at the dagger at his heart in disbelief and wanted to pull it out.
Ye Chutang reminded: "If you want to die, just pull it out."
Solang had already touched the handle of the dagger. After hearing this, he was so scared that he immediately withdrew his hand.
He stared at Ye Chutang angrily, "If I die, you..."
Ye Chutang immediately spoke up and interrupted his curse.
"I poisoned you when we first met."
As she spoke, she tore apart Suolang's clothes that were pierced by the dagger.
The blood flowing from his heart was dark red.
"If you want to live, watch your mouth!"
Suo Lang looked at the flowing dark red blood, his chest heaving violently, and he couldn't believe that he had fallen into Ye Chutang's trap.
"Mrs. Qi is extremely intelligent, and her reputation is well-deserved!"
He thought everything was as he planned, but he didn't expect to be outmaneuvered!
Ye Chutang endured the increasingly intense burning pain in the palm of his hand and curled his lips in mockery.
"Since you knew that, you shouldn't have messed with me, let alone had the idea of taking my child as a sacrifice or medicine!"
These words exploded like thunder in Solang's mind.
"How do you know that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Solang thought of his daughter under the altar.
He yelled to his assistant, "Go and protect Amyra!"
The assistants all know the truth about the sacrifice to heaven.
When they heard this, they immediately looked towards the altar.
Qi Shuyan had already untied the chains that bound himself and rescued Aina from under the altar.
The hose on Aina's wrist had been torn off, and Qi Shuyan was helping her bandage the wound.
When Suolang saw this, he glared at Qi Shuyan with anger.
"No! No way!"
Once the ritual of exchanging lives for one's own begins, it cannot be stopped.
Otherwise, not only will his daughter die, but the person whose life is replaced will also suffer from soul-leaving syndrome.
"Who are you? Kill him!"
It turns out that everything that went smoothly was all planned in advance!
The assistant followed Suolang's orders and used the sound of drums to stimulate witchcraft to deal with Qi Shuyan.
A raging flame broke out around Qi Shuyan and Ayina.
It was much more intense than the fire that Solang had created the night before.
Even though Ye Chutang was far away, he could still feel the warmth.
Just as she was about to hold Suolang hostage and threaten his assistant to stop, she saw Qi Shuyan carrying Suolang's daughter out from under the altar.
Amira was unconscious, her body drooping limply, her little face pale as a bloodless corpse.
Like a dead body that has just died.
Solang's assistant stopped beating the drums immediately for fear of hurting Amira.
"Master Wizard, what should we do?"
At this time, the National Protection Army had already climbed onto the altar and surrounded Solang and his assistants.
Qi Yanzhou came to Ye Chutang and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Ye Chutang shook his head, "The ones who are in trouble are these useless wizards!"
After Qi Yanzhou made sure that Ye Chutang was okay, he felt relieved and looked at Qi Shuyan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Brother, are you okay?"
This name let Suolang know Qi Shuyan's identity.
I also wanted to understand the whole story.
He gave a sad, bitter laugh.
“It’s all God’s will!”
"Damn God!"
If the person who gave his life in exchange for his daughter's life was not Heta's daughter, his plan would not have been exposed.
But after searching for several years, he found only Aina who met the criteria.
And Aina is Heta's most precious daughter in her old age.
The Qi family wanted to subdue Heta, so they had to rescue Ayi Na for him.
So, we have today's scene!
When Suolang thought of this, he felt a strong sense of unwillingness.
"If my daughter can't live, you all have to die!"
After saying this, he pulled out the dagger that was stabbed in his heart and reached out to wipe the blood from his heart.
Qi Yanzhou quickly drew his sword and cut off Suolang's arm.
"ah!"
The shrill screams awakened the people who were hypnotized by the blessing song.
But they still maintained the crawling posture, thinking that the screams were coming from the sacrifice.
Solang fainted from the pain.
When his six assistants saw this, they knew they were in great danger.
The drums sounded again.
The sound was very loud and the rhythm was very fast, which made people's eardrums hurt and their hearts seemed to burst.
The flames started burning again, bigger than before, surrounding everyone on the altar.
Then spread out, attacking everyone equally.
Fire has no substance, swords are useless, you can only avoid it.
But dodging can only prevent you from being burned by the fire, but you cannot escape the scorching heat it brings.
His body was burning and burning, and he couldn't even hold the weapon in his hand.
Qi Yanzhou wanted to take Ye Chutang down from the altar and away from the flames, but found that there was no loophole to exploit.
"Atang, I'll take you out."
When he was about to use his body as a shield for Ye Chutang, he found that Ye Chutang was gone.
Only her voice could be heard vaguely.
"Azhou, hold on, I'll go get some help."
Qi Yanzhou knew that the reinforcements referred to were the "ghost thieves".
He quickly responded: "Atang, take care of yourself first and don't take any risks."
As he spoke, he failed to dodge the oncoming flames in time and his sleeves were burned a little.
Fortunately, he cut it off with his sword in time and did not get hurt.
But the continued burning of the flames took away the air above the altar.
Even if they are skilled in martial arts and can hold their breath, they cannot hold it for long under high temperatures.
Qi Yanzhou wanted to kill Suolang's assistant, but his vision was blocked by the flames and he had no idea where the person was.
Listen to the drums to determine the position?
It's even impossible!
Because the drum beats seem to hit my heart and ring in my mind.
Ye Chutang, who escaped through space, appeared on the Gobi slope beside Dari Lake.
She put her hands on the ground, used her earth-related ability to roll up the dust on the ground, and sent it to the altar a mile away.
Although earth cannot overcome fire, it can make sand and dust squeeze out all the air, making it impossible for fire to burn.
Without fire, Qi Yanzhou could easily deal with Suolang's assistant.
After a while, the dust was approaching the altar.
Ye Chutang also returned to the altar.
The dust swirled wildly, successfully sucking out the air, and an intense feeling of suffocation swept over everyone on the altar.
But the fire created by the wizard with witchcraft did not go out.
She was slightly startled, but quickly relieved.
Witchcraft cannot be explained by common sense, and the same goes for witch fire!
Ye Chutang suddenly had an idea.
If you can’t put out the fire, then put out the people who created the fire!
She transferred the dust that isolated the fire to Solang's assistant.
It's so tight that I can't breathe.
Soon, the drumbeats became quieter and the flames became weaker.
Qi Yanzhou immediately seized the opportunity and chopped off the limbs of Solang's assistant.
If he hadn't considered that their mouths were still useful, he would have stabbed them in the heart.
Screams rang out one after another.
The dust slowly fell onto the altar without the control of earth-related abilities.
The dim altar regained its clarity.
The faces of the National Protection Army were burned red by the flames.
Some of the injuries were serious and blisters appeared on their faces.
Ye Chutang shouted loudly as he looked at Assistant Solang who was lying on the ground and rolling around in pain.
"Everyone, please go to the altar and take a look at the shaman you usually worship. What kind of beast is he?"
The voice carried inner strength and reached the ears of every citizen and official.
Those who were braver immediately rushed to the altar.
"Wu... Master Wizard, what happened? Who are you?"
"You will be punished by God for disrupting the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony and harming the Master Wizard!"
Ye Chutang looked at the ignorant people and snorted coldly.
"The flying sand and rocks just now are a punishment from heaven! It's the backlash after Solang used witchcraft to harm people!"
The people who trusted the shaman immediately objected.
"You are talking nonsense! The wizard is a messenger from heaven. He will only bring good weather and protect everyone's safety. He will never do anything to harm anyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hollow altar was overturned by Qi Shuyan.
The interior of the altar is divided into two levels.
Ayi Na was lying before the upper level, and Amyra was lying before the lower level.
Now, both Aynah and Amira are in coma.
He raised Ayi Na's simply bandaged right hand and said, "In order to save his daughter, Solang used the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony as a cover to ask this girl to exchange her life for hers!"
After saying that, he put Ayi Na down, picked up Amyra, and raised both her hands.
She had wounds on both wrists.
One wound is used for bleeding, and the other wound is used for collecting blood.
"This is the evidence!"
Ye Chutang also explained why he was kidnapped.
"The hairpin is mine, but I am not the one who bathes in the holy lake."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Yanzhou found the postman who had come into contact with Ye Siyin from the crowd and threw him on the altar.
"Tell us what happened."
The postman pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "I don't understand what Master Qi is saying."
Ye Chutang walked up to the postman, stuffed a pill into his mouth and forced him to swallow it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as everyone can understand what you say."
The postman didn't understand what Ye Chutang meant.
He felt himself becoming increasingly sleepy, his consciousness disintegrating uncontrollably.
Even if he bit his tongue it would be of no avail.
Ye Chutang looked at the postman with blood on the corner of his mouth and curled his lips in mockery.
She shook the medicine bottle in her hand, "Don't struggle, you are taking a pill that tells the truth."
After that, she asked about the cause of the disturbance in Lake Dari and the incident of someone bathing in the lake in the middle of the night.
When the people on the altar heard this, they immediately stepped forward and beat the postman half to death.
"You bastard, you actually used the holy lake to do evil, you deserve to die!"
"So, Master Wizard really wronged Madam Qi?"
"Impossible! I believe in the wizard, there must be a misunderstanding!"
"Is it really a misunderstanding? What's going on with Amyra?"
This question stumped everyone.
They all looked at the unconscious Solang.
Suolang was covered with a thick layer of fallen dust, and his appearance could no longer be seen.
A large area of the dust at the heart area was soaked with blood, and the area was slowly expanding.
Ye Chutang came to Suo Lang, took out a silver needle and pricked him to wake him up.
