With doubts in his heart, Qin Fang could not think of a more reasonable explanation at the moment. Thus, he simply continued to watch patiently.
On the high platform, the girl's four limbs had been cut open, and fresh blood was flowing out. The scene was really heart-wrenching.
The surrounding mountain people had already knelt on the ground and worshipped in fear. Their expressions were extremely respectful and pious, as if they did not dare to show any disrespect.
In addition, the sky was gradually darkening, and it was difficult for the people below to see what was happening on the stage. Perhaps this made High Priest Da Lun cover up the real truth.
The blood was still flowing, and the blood sacrifice ceremony was still going on. It looked so harmonious, and the girl was very serene. It was as if she had really lost her soul, and was going to go to the residence of the gods in her sleep ….
No one doubted the authenticity of this blood sacrifice. This was the hope of the mountain people for a beautiful future. For this, they were willing to give up anything, such as the life of this young and tender girl … If anyone dared to break such a beautiful dream, they would definitely be attacked by a group of people.
Wen Yan could not bear to see such a scene at first, and she was extremely afraid and terrified. However, ever since Qin Fang told her that it was all fake, she also observed very seriously.
The half-baked charlatan, High Priest Darun, did not have a high attainment in the Thousand Gates of Illusion. If one were to observe carefully, they would be able to tell the difference between reality and illusion.
For example, the scene of the bleeding was so discordant upon closer inspection. It was as if the location of the bleeding did not match the wound …
Because of this, Wen Yan believed that Qin Fang was telling the truth and did not lie to her. The girl on the high platform did not bleed to death, and she felt much better.
Tang Xin's eyesight was naturally much better than Wen Yan's. When Qin Fang stopped her from taking action, she had already guessed that there was something wrong with the ceremony. After a closer inspection, she saw the truth even earlier than Wen Yan.
She didn't really care about the lives of these people. Now that the girl's life wasn't even in danger, she naturally didn't care …
Although Qin Fang could see the truth very clearly, and knew that High Priest Daron was a complete liar, he couldn't expose him in front of everyone.
It was actually not a big deal to expose a liar. In fact, it could even be considered a righteous act. However, that depended on the situation at the scene. The people in the mountains did not care if you were righteous or not. They were full of fantasies about the future, and Darren made use of this. Although he had deceived them, he also gave them endless hope.
In that case, Darren wasn't particularly bad. At least, he was much better than those unscrupulous merchants outside the mountain … Of course, if Darren had done other heartless things, Qin Fang wouldn't be polite to him.
The girl's blood was still flowing, but as time passed, the blood flow gradually slowed down, as if it was about to dry up …
However, the girl didn't move at all. The mountain people below the stage were also waiting respectfully for the ceremony to end.
The bleeding process lasted for more than 10 minutes. During this time, High Priest Daron seemed to be dancing as if he was really performing a sacrificial ritual. After persevering for so long, he looked as though he had just been fished out of the water, and was drenched in sweat …
"The ceremony is complete!
Sacrifice to the gods … "
Following High Priest Daron's roar, the ceremony finally ended. The girl's blood had stopped flowing, and High Priest Daron gently wiped the wound. Instantly, the wound healed as though it had never been injured …
The same technique was used to wipe away the wounds on the girl's limbs. This made the mountain people even more dumbfounded, and they were almost completely speechless.
On the other hand, Qin Fang and the others' expressions didn't change at all. Since the bleeding just now was an illusion, there naturally wasn't any wound at all. After the illusion of the Thousand Doors of Illusion was removed, the so-called wound naturally couldn't be a knife wound …
It was a pity that only people like Qin Fang and the others could understand this. These ignorant mountain people couldn't see anything fishy at all …
However, there was one thing that was true, and that was that the grooves around the platform where the young girl was lying were all filled with dark red blood flowing in them. It looked very strange ….
It could be seen that High Priest Daron didn't give up on any details in order to design this scam more perfect. If Qin Fang hadn't seen through the Thousand Doors of Illusion, he would have been deceived by him too.
The blood sacrifice ceremony was completed just like that, but it wasn't the entire ceremony. There was still the most important sacrificial process to follow …
High Priest Daron had already walked down from the platform and returned to his palanquin. A few of his additional palanquin bearers went up the platform, and together, they lifted the girl and the platform up …
These people were obviously experienced, and they lifted the platform up rather steadily without any bumps. The blood in the grooves didn't even spill out, and was still flowing slowly inside …
They carefully walked down from the platform. The aboriginals below the platform spontaneously opened up a path for them to carry the platform. They slowly walked out of the village.
High Priest Daron sat on the palanquin, and was quickly carried out by the group of people in front of him as they slowly walked out of the village.
After that, the mountain people in the village, as well as the mountain people from the surrounding tribes, followed behind High Priest Daron from a distance of at least 20 to 30 meters. They didn't dare to approach so as to not disturb the "exhausted" High Priest Daron's short rest …
Qin Fang and the rest were naturally among the crowd, and it wasn't appropriate for them to take the initiative to approach the front. Otherwise, the mountain people would most likely think that they were here to cause trouble.
After carrying Wen Yan on his back, Qin Fang and Tang Xin walked slowly among the crowd. They didn't seem to be moving very quickly, but the mountain people in front of them seemed to subconsciously avoid them. Soon, they were at the front of the group. Qin Fang could see the situation in front of him clearly from a distance of more than 20 meters …
However, with Daron's large palanquin in between, he couldn't see the platform clearly. This made Qin Fang feel rather helpless.
The last part of the ritual was the sacrificial offering to the mountain gods and gods of this huge mountain range, and there was a sacrificial location nearby.
This location was chosen by High Priest Daron. It was a very steep cliff that was almost bottomless. The sacrificial offering was to throw the sacrificial offering down the cliff …
This was also what Qin Fang found strange. If this was how High Priest Daron's Sin Points of more than 3,000 came about, why didn't he kill the girl for the blood sacrifice first? Why did he waste so much effort to throw her down the cliff?
Although he was puzzled, Qin Fang still followed behind and watched, waiting for the results …
This cliff wasn't very far from the stockade. It was just on the mountain behind the stockade, and it only took about an hour. At this time, the sky was already dark, and they couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly. The lit torches could only vaguely illuminate the area in front of them.
The platform that was placed on the girl stopped at the front of the cliff, followed by High Priest Daron's large palanquin, which almost blocked most of their vision. In addition to the dark sky, the mountain people behind didn't dare to get too close. Naturally, they couldn't see what was happening in front of them clearly.
"We're so far away, I can't see clearly …"
They were so far away, and the sky wasn't good. Wen Yan was just an ordinary person, and didn't have good eyesight like Qin Fang and Tang Xin. She couldn't help but mutter softly.
Qin Fang thought for a while. He didn't see how he hid it, so he took out two binoculars from his body and threw one to Wen Yan and the other to Tang Xin.
"Take it and use it …"
This wasn't difficult for Qin Fang. He had a lot of things in his tool box. These were the spoils of war that he obtained from destroying the Crippled Wolf Mercenary Group. Not only were there binoculars, but they also had a night vision function, and were quite advanced …
Wen Yan didn't stand on ceremony at all. Although she hadn't used such an advanced gadget before, she knew that it was a binoculars. She immediately put it in front of her eyes and looked into the distance.
Although Tang Xin felt that it was very novel, she imitated Wen Yan and put the binoculars in front of her eyes and looked inside …
"Eh …"
However, she was really shocked by what she saw. The originally blurry image suddenly became much clearer, as if it was right in front of her. She could even see every change in expression on High Priest Daron's face …
The Tang Sect played with hidden weapons and poisons in the martial arts world, as well as mechanics and arithmetic. They were considered to have some strange skills, so they didn't reject these things.
However, this little gadget in front of her was quite powerful. At least, Tang Xin knew very well that the Tang Sect couldn't create such a magical thing …
At least, the experts of the Tang Sect could only look into the distance from a high place, unlike her who could clearly see things from afar.
Of course, compared to the mobile phone that Qin Fang lent her to play with, this seemed to be much simpler …
