Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

After Xuan Yue's mother heard the news, she fell ill.

Xuan Yue was very calm. She had expected this and had made sufficient preparations for this day, so she was not afraid.

The matter of the dead baby was kept secret by the king of Dongwu Kingdom and was not allowed to be spread outside. The high priest was then invited to take out another sacred object of Dongwu Kingdom - the sacrificial book, and deal with the saint girl according to the book.

The sacrificial book can only be kept by each high priest, and even the king is not qualified to read it.

So, as expected, Xuan Yue was secretly detained.

The high priest led the Black Water priests and the White Water priests in a grand ceremony. At the ceremony, Xuan Yue was tied to an iron pillar in the center of the altar. Dozens of priests looked at Xuan Yue as if they were the enemy who murdered his father.

Xuan Yue understood that they thought she gave birth to a stillborn baby and was an ominous person hated by the water god, but she was not afraid and even felt like laughing.

Four generations of her family have dedicated their lives to the East Wu Kingdom, but now she is being humiliated by them like a beast, and even the right to live has been deprived. How ridiculous!

Every time the high priest finished reading a sacrificial speech, the little priest guarding Xuan Yue would scoop up a large jar of water from the Bilan River and pour it on Xuan Yue's body.

The ceremony lasted from dawn to night, and Xuan Yue was splashed with ten large water jars of river water.

The whole person seemed to have shed a layer of skin, and the whitened flesh was cut by the water, leaving fine cuts. Because of the constant splashing of water, the blood in the cuts could not coagulate. Xuan Yue lost too much blood and fainted many times.

But she still held on. Xuan Yue knew that if she relaxed and gave up at this moment, she would never be able to survive in the Bilan River.

On the night when the ceremony ended, a shadow guard who had infiltrated the priest team brought Xuan Yue a small bottle of golden wound medicine and a piece of ginseng.

With these two things and her firm will to survive, Xuan Yue regained her vitality overnight.

The next day, Xuan Yue was tied up again and carried all the way to the Bilan River.

The priests recited the sacrificial words all the way while scattering talisman paper. On the flying yellow talisman paper, hideous characters were drawn in blood.

The high priest observed the sky at night and calculated that there would be a strong wind on that day. At this moment, the Bilan River was surging under the strong wind, like the huge mouth of a beast, and anything that touched it would be swallowed up instantly.

Xuan Yue was very calm. She had been preparing for this day for more than ten years.

She closed her eyes tightly, and after the high priest finished reciting the last paragraph of the sacrificial speech passionately, a feeling of weightlessness suddenly enveloped Xuan Yue.

The next moment, the cold river water swallowed her up instantly. She was like a fallen leaf in a strong wind, being tossed around in the rushing river, rising and falling constantly.

In order to survive, she came to the Bilan River every day since she was a child to observe the reefs in the river and practice swimming in the river every day. This was also one of the things her mother trained her to do.

More than ten years have passed, and she is very familiar with every culvert and every reef of the Bilan River.

She confirmed her position before falling, and after entering the river she instantly adjusted her posture to ensure that the next reef would not hit her vital parts.

The river was too turbulent, and Xuan Yue was spinning in the water like a rapidly spinning top. She couldn't even open her eyes, and her head was only able to float above the water for a moment or two.

But this was enough for her. Xuan Yue held her breath and took the opportunity to breathe.

Even so, she still couldn't really resist the force of the rapids. After a while, her whole body was bruised and purple. In serious places, a piece of flesh was worn off. She was covered in blood and looked very miserable.

But thanks to the reef, Xuan Yue calculated the position where she would hit the reef, adjusted her hands and feet, and used the ropes that bound her hands and feet to hit the reef, which could both reduce the damage and wear out the ropes.

Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, the ropes on his hands and feet were worn off one after another.

Even though she had broken three fingers and five toes, Xuan Yue was still happy.

Now that she had hands and feet, she could swim along the Bilan River to the border of the East Witch Kingdom.

Once she leaves the East Witch Kingdom, she will have a chance to survive!

But things did not go as planned, and something unexpected happened.

There was heavy rain that year, and the water level of the Bilan River was extremely high. Just when Xuan Yue was exhausted from swimming for a long time, the dam not far ahead broke!

The river water rushed madly along the broken dam towards the tributary of the Bilan River in Dongwu Country. The river water level suddenly rose sharply, destroying the houses along the river, and countless people were swept into the ruthless river.

The moment the dam broke, Xuan Yue was swept into the river by the huge suction force, completely deviating from her original route.

The power of the flood was simply not something that ordinary people could resist. Xuan Yue used all her strength to climb up a thick old tree in the muddy river. She no longer hoped to swim out of the East Witch Kingdom. She just wanted to survive the flood.

Fortunately, the scope of the dam breach was not large, and the water level dropped in less than half a day. Xuan Yue mingled among the disaster-stricken people, shivering in a wet sack.

Xuan Yue took the relief buns she had received and ate them one bite after another. She had to recover her strength as soon as possible and rush to the border of the East Witch Kingdom, where her shadow guard was still waiting for her.

"Have you heard? The Water God is angry this time because of the Saint!"

Hearing the discussions of the disaster victims gathered around him, Xuan Yue's chewing movements suddenly froze.

"Isn't it? I heard that the Saint did something disrespectful to the water god, which caused the river bank to burst, implicated ordinary people like us!"

"Tell me quickly, what disrespectful thing did she do?"

"What else could it be? Think about what a saint does!"

Several people understood instantly, raised their eyebrows, and exchanged a look that showed we both understand.

Xuan Yue's body became cold again, colder than being immersed in the turbulent water.

Yes, what does a saint do in the eyes of these people?

They are reproductive tools. They can only have one husband, the king, and then give birth to daughters or sons. They must be loyal until death.

In their eyes, Xuan Yue must have violated the code of conduct for women and done something unclean to anger the water god.

As for raising the King Gu, also known as the gold-eating Gu, this matter is not known to the people of the East Witch Kingdom. In their eyes, the saint is the woman favored by the water god and a mascot that symbolizes peace.

The insults he suffered at the ceremony did not make Xuan Yue surrender, nor did he become discouraged when he struggled to survive in the river after being water tortured, nor did he become disheartened when the river burst its banks.

But at this moment, a few words from a few irrelevant people suddenly made Xuan Yue's nose sore.

Her life, and the lives of four generations of her ancestors, could be completely discredited by just a few words. Why!

Xuan Yue wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, and her expression gradually became indifferent.

These people don’t know that the most important role of the saints is to feed the Gu King with their flesh and blood, and this is also their only role.

As for why they were allowed to give birth to the next saint, it actually stemmed from a very bloody history of the East Witch Kingdom.
