Starting his cultivation from marrying the Weaver Girl

Chapter 27 Sacrifice
"Tick, tick."

The sound of dripping water was heard, and Lin Yao gradually regained consciousness.

What caught my eye was Nie Xiaoqian's anxious face.

See him wake up.

Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but smile, but then she spoke apologetically.

"Sir, I don't know why the Priestess and the others acted like this. Believe me, they are all very good people."

"I know, where is this place?"

Lin Yao looked at the furnishings in the room. He remembered that the last scene before he fell into coma seemed to be Nie Xiaoqian's courtyard being burned to ashes.

"The Priestess brought us here, and we haven't seen anyone since."

Lin Yao stood up and walked to the door.

He could sense the presence of at least two people outside.

"Are you going to discuss what to do with me?"

Lin Yao smiled and said that if he could get out, he would definitely talk to Zhinu about this matter.

I almost became her sacrifice.

"Sir, I will go and beg the Priestess to let you go. The Priestess is a very kind person and will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head and played with the corner of her clothes.

"What does this have to do with you?"

Lin Yao rubbed his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that Nie Xiaoqian was so kind-hearted.

If she hadn't saved me, a stranger who had nothing to do with me, in the city.

The originally peaceful life would not be disrupted, but now there is even no place to live.

Just as Lin Yao was about to speak to comfort her, the door of the room opened.

The priest came in with two strong men.

Lin Yao turned around and looked, his expression so calm that it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Come out with me."

The priest glanced at Nie Xiaoqian behind him, turned and walked out of the room.

Lin Yao wanted to follow, but his sleeve was quietly pulled.

He knew that Nie Xiaoqian was worried about him.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Lin Yao patted the back of her hand, and the latter gently let go of her hand.

As the priest walked out of the room.

Lin Yao came to the previous campfire.

"You don't want to drag Xiaoqian into this, right?"

Lin Yao frowned. After hearing this, he thought the priest was threatening him with Nie Xiaoqian's life?

"What do you want to do?"

Since that’s the case, Lin Yao didn’t bother to waste time talking.

"You will become the goddess's sacrifice, and we will let Nie Xiaoqian live."

Lin Yao couldn't help but laugh when he heard the conditions.

Become a sacrifice to the Weaver Girl?
"can."

Seeing that Lin Yao agreed without any hesitation, the priest was slightly stunned.

The look he gave him also softened a lot.

"But you have to release Xiaoqian first."

"What qualifications do you have to negotiate with us?"

Lin Yao pointed to his head.

"As for my life, if I'm not mistaken, you're going to sacrifice me alive, not a corpse."

There was a strong threat in his words, but the priest couldn't do anything to him.

This is because Lin Yao needs to cooperate with certain procedures during the sacrifice in order to succeed.

If not, just knock him out directly.

"I promise you, I will let Xiaoqian go now."

"Help him build the courtyard again. You guys burned it down completely."

"can."

The priest agreed to this point readily.

After all, what this small mountain village lacks the least is space, so it’s just a matter of finding a few people to work for a few days.

Seeing that Lin Yao did not make any further requests, the priest spoke.

"Don't you ask what it costs to be a sacrifice?"

"life?"

Lin Yao's expression remained calm. For him, this was really not a big deal.

Originally, he had already prepared to risk his life when he entered the eighth floor of Leifeng Pagoda tonight.

But now he is using the identity of Ning Caichen to go through the past events.

Even if the priest lets him go today, he won't know where he is when he enters again tomorrow.

So the relationship between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian ended here.

If he could influence reality like Yan Chixia, at least Nie Xiaoqian could have a better home and not become Ning Caichen's plaything.

Thinking of this, Lin Yao felt a surge of anger in his heart.

If the illusions are all based on what happened after the two met that year.

Then Ning Caichen might have experienced the same scene back then.

However, his choice would probably be to secretly contact Lanruo Temple to rescue the two, and then lure Nie Xiaoqian to the Paradise Banquet and torture her to death.

"You really deserve to die."

Lin Yao's expression turned gloomy, and his murderous intent towards Ning Caichen grew even stronger.

The priest was no ordinary man. He retreated quietly the moment he sensed his murderous intent.

Several strong men appeared secretly and surrounded Lin Yao.

"Go down with them first to prepare for the sacrifice."

"I want to watch Xiaoqian leave."

Lin Yao didn't pay any attention to the men who were approaching him.

His eyes were always on the priest.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

"Go back."

Several strong men stopped when they heard this, but they still stared at Lin Yao.

"Son."

Nie Xiaoqian's voice sounded behind him.

When Lin Yao turned around, she had changed into a pure white long dress.

Compared to the coarse linen clothes she wore before, Nie Xiaoqian now looked like a pure white flower stamen.

"My Lady Priest, please don't embarrass the young master."

Seeing Lin Yao surrounded by several strong men, Nie Xiaoqian hurried to the priest.

She grabbed the latter's arm, her voice trembling.

"You go back first. I have something to discuss with the Priestess. It's okay."

The priest raised his hand and touched Nie Xiaoqian's head, then spoke softly.

"Go back first, Mr. Ning will be fine."

Nie Xiaoqian glanced at Lin Yao, who nodded. Although he was still a little worried, he finally had to leave with the two strong men.

Lin Yao watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance, and he felt relieved.

"Please, Mr. Ning, go and prepare it."

Lin Yao said nothing more and left.

"Have you contacted Lanruo Temple?"

The priest took the silk scarf handed to him by the person next to him and wiped his hand that had just touched Nie Xiaoqian.

"I've already contacted them and will send it over tonight."

"Well, keep an eye on this scholar."

The priest threw the scarf on the ground and looked at his sleeves.

"It's a pity about this dress."

There was undisguised disgust on her face.

The small mountain village was originally a place that helped Lanruo Temple.

Nie Xiaoqian was the one they were going to send
Unexpectedly, Ning Caichen appeared out of nowhere.

"I wanted to let him go, but unfortunately he didn't know what was good for him and just happened to be offered as a sacrifice to the goddess."

Lin Yao was taken to a house.

On the bed were the masks and ritual garments he had seen last night.

"Something's wrong here."

He sat on the bed. On the surface, this was just a small mountain village.

But how could a village nestled deep in the mountains master the art of offering sacrifices and summoning gods?

Moreover, the scene last night made Lin Yao feel that this might not be the first time these people had done this.

He quietly drew out the Qingfeng.

For some reason, the things I brought from outside Leifeng Pagoda here cannot be seen by the people in this illusion unless they are held in their hands.

This made it much easier for Lin Yao to act.

He walked to the door and pushed it gently, but it was already locked from the outside.

Lin Yao picked up the stool and smashed it over.

The noise in the room made the two guards look at each other and quickly open the door.

Lin Yao is a sacrifice to the goddess, and nothing can happen to him under their noses.

They opened the door and walked in.

With a flash of cold light.

The man walking in front slowly fell down.

The cold sword edge was across the second person's neck.

"What is this place used for?"
