Someone in the silent hall suddenly howled, and the crowd that had just calmed down suddenly started to boil again like water splashing into a pan of oil.
The guards accompanying the major caravan merchants opened up their own protections, and the hall instantly opened up colorful barriers, which was magnificent.
The monks and servants of the Liao family rearranged the trays that had been knocked over by the chaotic crowd and were covered with soft cloths for unknown purposes.
Liao Zhongqing glanced at Mei Zongqing, the second son of the Mei family, who was hugged tightly by Liao Jingxuan in the corner of the hall. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Since the high priest has taken the ghost baby fruit, let's use the high priest to sacrifice!"
As soon as he gave the order, a monk next to him immediately picked up the high priest's collar and lifted him onto the sacrificial altar.
By this time, Liao Zhongqing no longer cared about what others thought of the Liao family.
So what about human sacrifice? As long as the Liao family can be saved, as long as the Liao family has the skull of the wolf, and as long as the Liao family can be prosperous for generations, these people will still depend on the Liao family for profit.
People in this world don't care about morality and ethics as long as they can make a profit!
The high priest who was put on the altar cried at the top of his lungs: "Liao Zhongqing! I am the high priest of your Liao family, you can't do this to me! Using children to sacrifice is not entirely my concern. I told you last year,
If there are no roosters, it might be okay to use cats and dogs instead. You said this would be disrespectful to our ancestors, so you must... wu wu wu..."
Before the high priest finished speaking, a monk immediately stepped forward and twisted off his jaw.
The high priest rolled his eyes in pain and fainted on the spot.
Liao Zhongqing always watched all this with a cold eye. The corners of his tight mouth turned down and he drew two deep decrees, making his whole person look even more cold and cruel.
These actions of the head of the Liao family were in the eyes of everyone, and no one among the guests present spoke.
They suddenly discovered that the head of the Liao family, who was always polite and smiling, was actually a ruthless man with blood-stained hands.
"Buzz buzz...boom!"
The sound waves of flapping wings were getting closer and closer, and all the torches in the yard were suddenly extinguished... Some people couldn't help but gasp.
However, they soon discovered that it was not that the torch was extinguished, but that the overwhelming black bee swarm blocked the light of the torch. The bee swarm instantly passed through the courtyard, and the firelight immediately reappeared.
A huge number of bees formed a cloud and swarmed in, and everyone felt a black storm blowing in.
Tonba suddenly appeared, guarding Yanyan, his round blue eyes fixed on the wild bees that filled the sky.
Yan Yan also widened her eyes in horror.
This is the real dark storm!
The black bee cloud circled twice over the hall, then suddenly divided into two groups and swooped down.
At the same time, terrible wailing sounded from somewhere in the hall.
On one side is the high priest on the altar.
On the other side is the Mei couple in the corner.
Just now when Yan Yan was cleaning up the high priest, Mei Zongyuan asked her to take away a piece of fruit. No need to ask, the fruit had already successfully entered the stomachs of Mei and his wife.
Mei Zongyuan stood in front of the Mei couple, watching calmly as his parents were eaten by the release bees that flew down one after another, until the Mei couple's bodies were completely covered by the release bees and turned into two groups of black bees.
.
The painful screams of the Mei couple gradually weakened from the initial sharpness until they finally became silent.
Mei Zongyuan breathed out gently, and said in a low voice to the Mei couple who gradually stopped struggling and finally stopped moving completely: "Goodbye, I hope we will never see each other again!"
On the other side, the high priest's condition was almost exactly the same as that of the Mei couple. His whole body was covered with black fingernail-sized release bees, with almost no flesh exposed. The dense bees were crawling on the high priest's body.
The ones even crawled in through his nostrils and open mouth...
This scene would make people with trypophobia vomit on the spot.
There was only the sound of bee wings flashing in the entire banquet hall. No one spoke at all. Everyone stared at the bloody and terrifying scene of the insect monster eating people in front of them.
Shie Bee is particularly particular about dining, not wasting anything. Not even a drop of blood was shed during the meal. Fresh, white bones can be seen at the end of the meal, and not even a shred of meat is left on the bones. It is definitely better than
People eat cleanly.
About a quarter of an hour later, the satiated bees flew away from the corpse one after another, and then everyone discovered that the sated bees landed on the trays prepared in advance and lined with cotton cloth.
The bee demons on the plate looked for a suitable position on the cotton cloth and then lay still.
Yan Yan curiously walked to a tray to check, and saw that a milky white waxy viscous substance was secreted from the four-petal shaped mouthparts of the Squirrel Bee. They used their two front legs to flexibly and evenly apply the white wax secretion on their bodies.
The coating becomes thicker and thicker, and eventually, the entire release bee is completely wrapped in the milky white wax liquid, forming a round wax ball.
Yan Yan suddenly discovered that this milky white wax pill was the pill sold by the Liao family to prevent being seduced by the monster's song.
Shopkeeper Qiao was also standing next to the tray and looking at it. When Yan Yan stretched out his finger and curiously poked a completely wrapped white wax pill, he explained to her: "This is the release of bees hatching young bees.
Demons are hermaphrodites, reproduce asexually, and only eat once in their lives. After eating, they begin to breed young wasps in their bodies."
Yan Yan frowned: "That means the bee demon in the beeswax pills sold by the Liao family is alive?"
Shopkeeper Qiao nodded: "Yes, once the bee demon seals itself into the wax pill, it will not come out again until the larvae break out. In the intact wax pills you have seen before, the bee demons inside are all alive."
Yan Yan suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't help but ask: "But won't it cause problems if someone eats this kind of thing?"
Even though it is small, it is still a monster.
Shopkeeper Qiao shook his head: "Although the release bee is an insect demon, there is actually no demon poison in its body. Because it has a short lifespan, it cannot practice for many years, and it will not form a demon pill. Even if ordinary people take it, it will not have any effect on the body.
damage."
While the two of them were talking, more and more release bees had eaten their fill, landed on the plate and started to breed. There were also bee demons that came late one after another, rising and falling, and pounced on the corpse...
At this moment, there was no longer a high priest presiding over the sacrificial site. Liao Zhongqing raised his hand and pointed to a tray almost filled with snow-white beeswax pills and said: "Since the beeswax pills have been successfully obtained, the sacrifice continues!"
After Liao Zhongqing finished speaking, someone from the Liao family immediately picked up the tray and presented it to him.
Liao Zhongqing reached out and grabbed a handful of white beeswax pills, raised his head and looked at the small wooden cage at the top of the altar.
At this moment, Liao Zhongqing's expression became extremely serious and pious. He held the wax pills in both hands and walked step by step towards the small wooden cage placed at the top.
"Hulla la la... hula la la... hula la la la..."
Just when Liao Zhongqing was about to reach the small wooden cage, the originally quiet hall suddenly heard the sound of singing.
