"We collected women from the people, escorted them to Kyoto, and prepared to burn them to offer sacrifices to heaven." The round-faced woman said, "I am Xue Zhen, and she is my sister Xue Caiqing."
"While we were escorting, we suddenly encountered heavy rain, which washed away the mountain road and scattered the escorting team. My sister called on everyone, and if they didn't want to die, they ran into the mountains..."
"We were hiding in this mountain, sometimes being chased by people, sometimes by wild beasts... I don't know who discovered the cave first, so we hid in the cave..."
"Anyway, going out will mean death... and we will be burned to death. We would rather be eaten by wild beasts and starve to death in the cave... No one wants to go out and die..."
"Those who were chasing us didn't dare to enter the cave at first. Later, if they couldn't find us and couldn't go to Beijing for business, they boldly entered the cave..."
"Later...they met you and were beaten away by you..."
Xue Caiqing leaned on her sister's shoulder, listening to her sister whispering, nodding from time to time.
"How long have you been hiding in the mountains?" Maotu asked.
The sisters shook their heads.
"Before entering the cave, we knew the time. About ten days had passed... Some of us got separated and some were bitten to death by wild beasts. But there are still wild fruits to eat in the forest, some of which are poisonous... but most of them are not fatal."
Xue Zhen said, "After we entered the cave, we didn't know how long it had been. We didn't dare to come out... we were always hungry."
Wen Jin listened carefully to Xue Zhen's words while secretly analyzing...
"Are all the women going to be burned to death to offer sacrifices to heaven?" Mao Tu asked in surprise, "Is your king too stupid? Six of them were burned to death in a day. In a few years, there will be no women left in the Daye Kingdom, right? "
Xue Zhen shook her head, "We won't keep burning people to worship the heaven. The Imperial Master said that as long as the disaster of 'Female Chicken Si Chen' disappears, the sacrifice to the heaven will stop."
"I think you, the Imperial Master, are the biggest scourge! Just burn him to death!" Maotu spat on the ground angrily.
Wen Jin suddenly raised his head... You're right!
Maybe this is what Apocalypse wants her to do!
But when the Xue sisters heard this, they hugged each other in horror.
"Don't say it, don't say it... The Imperial Master is very powerful. Even if we are far away from Kyoto, he can still hear us! He knows everything! Nothing can be hidden from him!"
The two sisters seemed to be frightened to death by this "National Master".
But the instinct of survival allowed them to dare to instigate everyone to escape into the mountains despite being so scared... These two sisters were somewhat courageous.
"Where are you going to escape to? How long can you hide?" Xue Caiqing asked.
Wen Jin and his party were silent.
They exchanged glances with each other and nodded slightly.
"This Imperial Master must be a person with some witchcraft. After getting rid of him, if the emperor can still be saved, he can keep him. If not, he will be abolished and a new king will be established." Xiao Yuchen said in a deep voice.
He was probably the Supreme Emperor, and when he spoke, he had this majestic posture, as if he was also the Supreme Emperor of the Daye Kingdom.
Wen Jin and others all nodded and agreed with what he said.
But these words frightened the two sisters.
The two sisters' faces were pale, their four hands were tightly clasped together, and their thin bodies were shaking non-stop.
"Sister, they, they are crazy!" Xue Caiqing said, "Shouldn't we follow them?"
Xue Zhen was also very scared, but she forced herself to calm down. She looked at Wen Jin and his party and said, "The Imperial Master said that all unmarried women between the ages of nine and twenty must be captured and sacrificed."
"Don't say there is no marriage contract, even if there is a marriage contract, you are not allowed to get married within one or two years. If you get married to avoid the sacrifice, the groom's family will be killed... So no one dares to marry in the past two years. "
"In your line of work, the age of both of them is within the range of sacrifice... You can't protect yourself, so you still want to kill the national master? You can't even see his face!"
After Xue Zhen finished speaking, she looked at Yue'er and Mao Tu who were clinging to Wen Jin.
"It's precisely because everyone thinks like you! Greedy for life and afraid of death! That's why you let a treacherous person control the fate of your Daye Kingdom! Control the life and death of all of you!"
Mao Tu said angrily, "If everyone rises up to resist, can he be asked to crush all of you in the country, flatten and round them, and let them be slaughtered?"
Yu'er nodded and said, "Water can carry a boat but it can also overturn it. If there are complaints, the country will perish."
Yu'er said, counting with her fingers.
Their Taoism has failed here, and I don't know if divination and prediction are of any use here.
But seeing Yu'er counting with her fingers for a while, her face was extremely confident and she said, "Daye's national spirit has been exhausted, and this national teacher and monarch will perish."
The two sisters gasped and hugged each other suddenly. They both saw fear and worry in each other's eyes.
Xue Zhen hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and muttered, "What you can't do, you can't do... There were brave people with lofty ideals in the past, and they even organized troops, but they were no match for the national division..."
Xue Caiqing also had red eyes and said with tears, "You are not from here, and you have no idea how powerful the national preceptor is! If things are as simple as you think, do you think that the people of Daye Kingdom are just stretching their arms like this?" Are your necks waiting to die?”
Wen Jin sighed, "If you think it's impossible...then it's impossible. But we will not give in. We are invincible without enemies."
The Xue sisters still had to argue with her.
Wen Jin picked up a piece of Ganoderma lucidum and chewed it, "Have you forgotten? I am a 'god'."
The two sisters were startled when they heard this, and a faint light suddenly burst out from their gray and frightened eyes.
The two swallowed and seemed to be trying to accept the "god" thing.
"If you are an immortal...can you become younger?" Xue Zhen suddenly asked, "Your current age is not within the scope of the National Master's arrest! If you can become younger, we will believe that you are an immortal! "
Wen Jin: "..."
Now you have a bright idea!
Everyone looked at Wen Jin, even Xiao Yuchen, Mao Tu, and her children looked at her with hope.
The two sisters did not know her "magic", but they themselves were always ready for a "miracle".
"Apocalypse..." Wen Jin shouted in his heart.
However, Tianqi ignored her.
"It's late at night, you all should take a rest. We have to travel tomorrow!" Wen Jin said in a deep voice under the glare of everyone's gaze.
When the two sisters saw this, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
It seems that this god... is not a god after all.
Xiao Yuchen pushed aside Maotu and sat next to Wen Jin. Yue'er leaned on Wen Jin's arms, Yu'er leaned on his father's shoulder, and the family of four nestled together.
The firewood burned and made a beeping sound.
From the depths of the surrounding dark woods, there were faint sounds of beasts and all the shuddering sounds of terror.
They sat as close to the fire as possible... It was late autumn, and it was very cold in the forest at night. Sitting next to a fire not only keeps you warm, but also strengthens your courage.
"I have an idea..." Xiao Yuchen said close to Wen Jin's ear.
