121. Evil god Festival

Chapter 440

The other chosen sacrifice, who had been excited to be chosen, was dumbfounded at the sight of the scene.

The old servant indifferently held the other two unresponsive children down and bowed to the offerings in the shrine: "Pay your respects to your predecessors who broke the jade for the Bei Yuan family."

The two children came out of the shrine in a trance, their shoulders shaking.

It didn't seem quite the same as the privileged human life they had imagined.

The old servant seemed not to see the sudden change of expression in the two children's faces as he bowed his body and continued to walk with small, quick steps: "The residence of the adults of the sacrifice is in Bei Yuan, the highest part of the house."

"That place is also the closest to the shrine, the biggest shrine in Luming that you will see every morning as soon as you get up, and the place where you will be sacrificed."

"The shrine contains the beautiful body of the evil lord, which we cannot disturb often, and is only open to the public during the hottest and coldest times of the year, in winter and summer, when the prefecture holds a grand festival of the evil god."

"Funya and the sacrifices kept in the great houses go to the shrine to worship the evil lord, but the evil lord lives in a shrine, and only the tears of a sufficiently painful sacrifice can make him open his eyes and wake up."

"Don't go up to the mountain on weekdays, Lord Evil is sleeping and doesn't like to be nagged, the doors of the shrine are always locked and there is no need for daily prayers."

Bai Liu's eyes twitched: "The shrine is locked, so in whose hands is the key to the shrine? Is it in the hands of Lord Bei Yuan?"

The old servant's footsteps lurched and he gave Bai Liu a sidelong glance: "Yes."

"The key to the shrine will be in the hands of the highest tax payer each year, the year before it was in the Gosho family, this year it is the Bei Yuan family."

The old servant led Bai Liu and the others to an isolated, high loft, bending down and raising his hand in respect: "This is the residence of the lords of sacrifice."

"While I understand that the offerings are new to the Bei Yuan family and are curious about this place, it is late in the day and I would kindly advise you not to wander around."

The old servant raised his head slightly, showing his old, cloudy eyes, "The house of Bei Yuan is very dangerous after nightfall, and if the sacrificial lords themselves die in vain at the hands of some spirits, their bodies will not even enter the shrine of Bei Yuan."

Bai Liu noticed that Cangtai and the other two children had turned pale with fear and immediately shouted in response, "Yes!"

The old servant's eyes flicked to Bai Liu: "Where is Lord Bai Liu(6)?"

Bai Liu slowly lowered his eyes and spoke in a submissive tone, "I will make a good offering to the evil gods here."

Slightly satisfied, the old servant withdrew his gaze, bent over, pulled the door closed and bowed away, "We will help bring your Lordships' things from the boathouse in a moment, so please get an early night's rest."

Within ten minutes of Bai Liu and his family moving into the loft, the hesitant and uncommunicative maid brought in Bai Liu's luggage.

Cangtai's eyes lit up at the sight of the little black cat in its cage, and when he opened it he tried to give it a hug, but the little black cat wriggled out from under the cage, gave a high-pitched mike and ran towards Bai Liu, who was sitting by the attic window.
