Chapter 891: Offering Saintess of Sacrifices
All the villagers were shocked by what they saw. Why was the first woman to be offered as a sacrifice Nang Kohua?
The parents of Nang Kohua were shocked when they saw Nang Kohua. They hurriedly shouted, “Don’t offer Nang Kohua as the sacrifice! She is your wife!”
“It is precisely because she is my wife that I took the lead and allowed my family members to be the first to offer sacrifices to saintess. Therefore, my clansmen, we can not only care about ourselves and others. For the sake of our clan’s thousands of years of work, we must sacrifice ourselves and complete the greater good.”
“Sacrifice the individual to complete the greater good.”
“Sacrifice the individual to complete the greater good.”
All the clansmen were indescribably excited by the clan leader’s high moral standards. It was just that Ah Cai felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his former marriage partner being the first to be sacrificed. It was not because he still felt sorry for that Nang Kohua. Instead, he felt that there was something wrong with the sacrifice itself.
Whenever a human was used as a sacrifice, especially when it was offered to a group of animals, it was already completely different.
Now, if he wanted the three most beautiful women in the entire clan, then how would the remaining two be chosen?
They could not be married, and they had to be over 10 years old. This was somewhat intriguing. Today, Nang Kohua had been sent to the sacrifice. Then, who would be next? No one knew.
Ah Cai wanted to make a sound to stop such a ridiculous act, but Ah Gen was holding him back by the side. If he stood out now, he would only die and be punished.
Moreover, seeing that the people in the village were so excited, who would care about this?
Did you see that? At this moment, even the parents of Nang Kohua had nothing to say. Compared to a daughter, letting them live forever was the most important thing. Moreover, Buda was very good at bewitching people’s hearts. He knew that some people wouldn’t be willing to easily hand over their daughters, so he said, “The family that sacrifices their daughter to the saintess, after our king arrives, they will be the first to live forever.”
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, someone jumped up. If it wasn’t for the girls around them cowering in fear, someone might have already called out.
“Begin the ritual.”
The four elders personally grabbed Nang Kohua and slowly walked toward the center of the platform. It was strange to say that the Nine-Tailed Snakes seemed to turn a blind eye to the elders. They even took the initiative to avoid the path when they walked over. On the other hand, after Nang Kohua was placed on the platform, they swarmed over and instantly covered Nang Kohua.
This action made everyone think that this sacred object was indeed a sacred object and would not harm the elders.
Yan Kuan, who was watching from afar, knew that this was not because it would not harm the elders, but because these Nine-Tailed Snakes were naturally fond of yin objects and women were yin objects. Naturally, they liked this woman.
Nang Kohua did not even scream as she was surrounded by the Nine-Tailed Snakes. In the end, not even the bones were left behind as she was eaten clean. Other than the b.l.o.o.d.y smell in the air… It was as if the girl had never been to this world before.
No one saw the remains of Nang Kohua. Other than a pool of blood, there was nothing else. Because of this, everyone was even more certain of the mystery of the sacred object.
They even believed that Nang Kohua they had sacrificed had already arrived in the eternal world one step ahead of them to receive the arrival of the king.
Nang Kohua was used as a sacrifice, and the remaining two people had to be chosen. This choice was also made among the nearly 400 clansmen who had knelt down.
There was nothing that the young women were not afraid of. At this moment, they all wished that they were the ugliest one in the village. However, at this moment, the parents of Nang Kohua suddenly said,”Ah Tawa is one of the best beauties in our village. The next saintess to be sacrificed should be her.”
Ah Tawa was only 10 years old. Even if they had to choose, they would not be able to choose her. However, Ah Tawa really met all the requirements, except for the fact that she was a little younger.
Ah Gen and Ah Cai were really anxious this time. This d*mned Nang Kohua’s family was actually so vicious. They wanted to use their Ah Tawa as a sacrifice. She was only 10 years old.
“Ah Tawa isn’t even 10 years old. That won’t do.”
When the mother of Nang Kohua heard Ah Gen’s words, she immediately refuted:
“Ah Tawa turned 10 years old 10 days ago. It can’t be that Ah Gen is reluctant to part with her, right?”
“Everyone can see that my Ah Tawa is only a child. How can she be a saintess of sacrifice? Moreover, there are so many young girls in our village. All of them are beauties. My Ah Tawa hasn’t even grown up yet.”
Everyone started to discuss animatedly. Although Ah Tawa was 10 years old, she was extremely beautiful. In another two years, when she grew up, she would definitely be the most beautiful woman in the village.
However, now that she did indeed look like a child, it was somewhat controversial. Of course, there were other children in the village as well. Everyone started to discuss animatedly.
In order to be fair, Buda finally announced that all the girls of the appropriate age would stand out. Then, the villagers would vote for the last two people by secret ballot and draw lots.
This idea seemed very fair, but Ah Gen did not have any confidence at all. His relations.h.i.+p with his clansmen was too bad. It was very likely that all the clansmen would use his Ah Tawa to be a sacrifice.
He leaned against Ah Cai’s side and tried hard to prop up half of his body. The whip injury just now hadn’t healed yet. If it weren’t for the medicine An An and the others gave them, he might not have been able to survive.
But at this moment, they couldn’t leave or run away. All the girls who met the requirements had already stood out. His Ah Tawa also slowly stood up with a stumble. She staggered into the crowd.
Of the 400 villagers, there were only 23 girls who met the requirements of 10 to 15 years old.
It was not difficult to choose two out of the 23.
No one held a stone in their hands. Each girl was arranged in order. The numbers were also arranged in order. They were placed in a wooden box of Norda.
At this moment, the four elders had personally counted them under everyone’s eyes. This action was extremely fair. No one had any objections.
The results came out very quickly. As expected, Ah Tawa had the highest number of votes. The remaining one was from another family that was the poorest and had the most children.
Because this result was publicly announced, no one had any objections. Ah Gen was so scared that he started crying. Ah Cai also clenched his fists tightly and wanted to rush forward.
But at this time, it was indeed Ah Gen who held Ah Cai’s hand tightly. Ah Tawa did not have time to scream before she was brought down by the four elders and locked up tightly.
This action did not give everyone the chance to prepare at all. Even if Ah Gen wanted to save her, he could not do so in front of the entire village.
“My Ah Tawa…”
“Uncle, we must save Ah Tawa, you must save her.”
“Yes, save Ah Tawa, save her. Come, let’s go back, let’s go back and prepare…”
