Chapter 1,174: The Truth of that Year

"Many people here knew that it was you who was obviously confused and who killed your son and daughter-in-law. You were the murderer!"

The mayor's words shocked the Mei Duo sisters, and they all looked at their grandfather in disbelief.

The old man in Gelu seemed to have aged much in an instant. He was shaking with anger and said to his granddaughter with a face full of pain:

"Mei Duo, Mei Duo, don't listen to his nonsense! Back then..."

Following the old man's narration, Lin Tian and sisters Mei Duo finally learned about a tragedy that had been buried by time.

Back then, the mother of the Mei Duo sisters gave birth to two precious daughters. The whole family was very happy and loved them even more. The family was happy and lived an ordinary and happy life.

Until one day, the snow monster and the wind and snow were raging again. The priests passed down the instructions of the Tibetan God and selected several women to sacrifice, including their mothers.

The family members of all the selected women, although they were reluctant to part with them and sad, but out of faith or for the sake of their tribe, they could only agree with tears in the end, even the old man and old lady back then.

However, one person stood up at this time, firmly opposed, and questioned the priests' methods, saying that they might be deceiving everyone.

This man was the father of Sister Mei Duo. His words immediately aroused public outrage. Everyone condemned him, saying that he ignored the safety of his tribe for his own personal interests, and that he dared to contradict the messenger of the hidden god.

But the father of the Mei Duo sisters was very insistent on his opinion, and was determined not to let them take his wives away from him and send them to the so-called divinely ordained place that no one knew about except the priests.

Seeing that persuasion and scolding could not change his mind, and the time for the sacrifice was getting closer and closer, the Tibetans finally imprisoned him temporarily to prevent him from destroying the sacred ceremony.

But just the night before the sacrificial ceremony, he still deceived the caretaker into trusting him, tricked him into knocking him out, and then escaped.

That night, he rushed home and knelt on the ground to beg his parents. The old man couldn't bear it, so he let him take his wife with him.

Their escape was quickly discovered. Under the leadership of the priests, everyone held torches and chased them in the snow. In the end, the two people panicked and fell into the cliff, falling to pieces.

Later, although they died, the disaster became even more severe because of the absence of Mei Duo's mother and the destruction of the ritual.

Many people died, and every family was locked up day and night, in panic all day long.

Fortunately, the high priest communicated with the Tibetan God, interceded with him, and offered sacrifices using secret methods. At a heavy price, the disaster was calmed down. From then on, for more than ten years, the high priest never spoke again. In a word, it is said that he lost his tongue for it.

After this incident, Mei Duo's mother's parents committed suicide because they could not bear the pain of losing their daughter and being secretly condemned by everyone.

As for the old man and the old lady, they have not been very popular in recent years. They brought up the two sisters, who were only a few years old and ignorant at the time, and lied to them that their parents unfortunately died at the hands of a snow monster. Only now did they learn the truth.

"You have all heard it. If your grandfather hadn't been soft-hearted and allowed his son to take your mother away for his own selfish gain, all this tragedy would never have happened!"

"Your father and grandparents will not die. They can avoid disasters at that time. They don't have to kill those innocent tribesmen. And your mother can also let her soul be sublimated and serve the Tibetan God!"

"But all of this was ruined by your grandfather! And now, he actually wants to ruin this ceremony and dares to insult the sacrifice. If the high priest hadn't made sacrifices for us, everyone would have died in the snow. In the hands of Monster and Fengxue!"

"Let me ask you, are you also such selfish people? Can you just watch your people suffer and be devastated!"

The mayor's series of angry roars made everyone's faces look thoughtful. Many people looked resolute and even looked at the Meadow family with suspicion and hostility. However, the Meadow sisters just covered their faces and burst into tears.

"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Grandpa has been hiding this from you for so many years. I hope you don't blame me."

The old man hugged Sister Mei Duo and cried too much. But then, he gritted his teeth, turned around and roared:

"I tell you, for so many years, I have lived in regret and pain all the time. I have also doubted whether what I did back then was right or wrong. I have also questioned my son's statement."

"But now, I can tell you for sure that I just doubt the practices of these sacrifices! This kind of thing never happened in our town back then, and the sacrifices we believed in only saw the sick, saved people, and led everyone to worship gods."

"All of this only happened in the past few decades. It was during that disaster that all these priests changed. They were completely different from before, and they even proposed to sacrifice human beings. After handing the people over, they let them take them away. No one knew where they were taken, didn’t you have any doubts? "

"Yes! I admit that the effect of the sacrifice is very good, but I don't believe that the Tibetan God is so cruel. He has to sacrifice the lives of our loved ones to protect his people!"

"My son said the same thing back then. I can tell you clearly that if you want to take my granddaughter away from me, you have to step over my body first!"

The old man pointed at the priests and roared, as if he was ready to fight at any time, and the mayor became even more angry. Many people in the crowd were also a little angry, and they all stepped forward to accuse the old man of being selfish and blasphemous.

There was strength in numbers, and the old man opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything to so many people. He was instantly drowned out by the accusations, while Sister Mei Duo just cried helplessly. In the end, the old man became so angry that he fainted with a glare.

The two sisters were frightened and felt so helpless. They cried and said that they were willing to participate in the ceremony and asked them to stop talking.

At this time, a priest separated the crowd and came over. He pointed at the Mei Duo sisters and asked them to be taken away together with the other selected women. The ceremony would begin the day after tomorrow.

The mayor waved his hand, and the two big men went to catch them. But in a flash of cold light, a sword edge was pressed against their chests. Lin Tian walked up to the two sisters and said coldly:

"Want to take them away? Yes, just kill me."

Everyone knows how powerful Lin Tian is, so naturally no one dares to step forward, but his intervention and obstruction by an outsider also makes many people feel angry and confused. Sister Mei Duo looked at his back standing in front of her, and her heart suddenly A strong wave of warmth passed through him, and the eyes looking at him showed a strange brilliance.
