Chapter 130: The Church of the Scourge
Southern Tibetan Province, Kamo County, Jialuo County.
Xijialuoshan County is a border county located on the east side of the Tongtian River, and across the river is Langpur of the Pungara Kingdom of the Shenzhu Alliance.
At the time of the cataclysm, the human world was reshuffled. Shen Zhu's side is also the hardest hit area, and people in many places have been killed by otherworldly monsters, and in some places they have even completely exterminated human existence.
A large part of the province from the south to the coast used to belong to the Shenzhu colony of Brittany. Later, the old order collapsed, and this land became a place where monsters were entrenched, and almost one in ten human beings remained, and it completely fell.
Later, Taizu swept Kyushu, and after recovering the mainland, he saw that there was no one here. So he also recovered the area east of the Tongtian River and established Southern Tibet Province.
Jialuo County has been plagued by the invaders of the other world before, and after it was incorporated into Great Xia, the population was counted, and it was found that there were less than 5,000 locals left. Although Great Xia emigrated later, it was both a frontier and a new territory, and the enthusiasm of immigrants was not very high.
Even now, the entire county covers an area of 8,000 square kilometers and has a population of only 220,000. It is a typical land that is vast and sparsely populated, especially in the vicinity of Mount Garo outside the city, because a lot of the land is farmland, and there are few people.
Among them, there is a large farm, the owner is surnamed Xu, mainly planting turmeric, ginger, mustard, black pepper, betel nut, jute and other special crops, which is also well-known in the local area.
At this time, in a cave next to the farmstead, there was a strange and fanatical atmosphere.
The cave was originally used as a warehouse, but after it was abandoned, it was heightened and widened by the locals and transformed into a place of worship. It is said to be used for various ceremonies and ceremonies.
There were no lights in the cave, but a bonfire was lit with a dozen lit oil drums, as well as candles on the pillars.
The rostrum in the cave has been transformed into an altar, and on top of it is a statue about three meters high, this statue is a hideous and terrifying monster!
This monster looks like a half-human, half-dragon, with a majestic dragon body with tangled muscles, covered with scale armor, with seven heads, eight arms, and five tails, three pairs of wings stretched out from its back, and its hind limbs squatting slightly, as if it is about to jump and take off.
The eight arms hold eight weapons, including a sword, a hammer, a spear, a vajra, a whip, a bow and arrow, and a shield.
Seven thick necks have exactly the same seven faces. These men had a fierce face, with a disheveled head and fangs, and seven expressions on their seven faces: "joy", "anger", "sorrow", "fear", "love", "hatred" and "greed".
The craftsmanship of this carving is extremely exquisite, and it can be called the ingenuity of the poor workmanship. The whole statue looks vivid, as if every hair, every muscle line is clearly expressed, especially the expressions of those faces are vivid, as if they were reproduced from photos.
What's particularly weird is the scales on the monster's body, no matter how big or small, each piece seems to have some unimaginable complex patterns, and these patterns have an indescribable power, you can't look closely, and it will make people dizzy if you look at it a few more times. Because not only will it become three-dimensional in the eyes, but it will also be constantly changing, and it will make people have a headache after looking at it for a long time.
This kind of posture can't be an ordinary monster at all, it's clearly a powerful demon god!
"Diluo, Diluo, Diluo, Diluo!"
A group of people knelt on the ground, shouting feverishly. It's inaccessible and sentry-free, so you're not afraid of being heard.
A priest wearing a strange insect face mask stood in front of the idol, wearing a black robe with patterns of lightning, waves, storms, flames, etc., with a swirling spark in the center of his chest. Preach to believers in a fanatical tone.
"Dillo, Lord of Destruction, Lord of Calamity, Lord of Our Great ...... The world is about to be destroyed, and it will eventually be destroyed, rejoice in destruction, that is the divine power of the Lord! Only by believing in the great Emperor can we be reborn after destruction......"
"Diluo, Diluo, Diluo, Diluo!"
"Destroy, destroy, destroy the world, destroy everything!"
The believers shouted feverishly, like a bunch of madmen.
"Bring the sacrifices......" the priest shouted.
A group of strong men with similar masks dragged out more than two dozen young girls covered in red fruits from behind.
"Please, let me go......"
"Don't kill me, I'm only fourteen......"
"Woo woo woo ......"
The girls were hand-held and screaming, and the strong men were unmoved, pushing them onto the altar.
At this time, a sharp-eyed girl suddenly saw a familiar person in the crowd, and shouted as if she had seen a savior: "Brother Zhen, Brother Zhen, I'm here to find you, come and save me......"
When the other girls heard this, they also hurriedly looked over. Sure enough, the idol that made them dream of running away from home and turning against their parents, relatives and friends to follow is right in front of them.
So they cried out hopefully.
"Ah, it's really brother, Brother Zhen, Brother Zhen, why are you here?"
"Brother Zhen, I'm your fan, save me......"
"Brother Zhen, I'm here with your studio, are you kidding me......"
The person they called "Brother Zhen" is called Di Qianzhen, who is today's hottest idol Xiao Xianrou, and his acting skills are not good, but he has also been sought after by a large number of little girls by relying on hype.
At this time, this little fresh meat was standing next to the altar, also wearing the black robe of a priest, but he did not wear a mask. Although his face had not changed, it looked eerie and strange in the dim light.
"Hehehe...... That's right, it's me. Di Qianzhen smiled at the girls.
This signature smile was originally called "a smile that melts the heart" by fans, but at this time it looks particularly scary.
These girls are indeed his fans, and they are also his fans who have been deceived from other places in his name. Then they were sent here as a preparatory offering.
Di Qianzhen said gently: "You should be honored, because you will be the sacrifice to awaken the great Emperor, what a glorious thing...... Don't you claim to be my fan, aren't you willing to die for me? Now, I'm going to order you to die......"
As he spoke, his eyes seemed to glow red, his pupils vanished, and sharp teeth seemed to grow in his mouth.
Those girls didn't pay any attention to this, as if they were fascinated by idols, their eyes gradually dulled, and their emotions gradually calmed down.
"Hehe......" Di Qianzhen sneered contemptuously a few times, gritted his teeth and said: "What a stupid woman, it's all because you guys caused trouble, so I can't stay in the country anymore......"
His fans have always been known for their fanaticism and have generated a lot of negative press. But some time ago, he seemed to be unlucky, a fan organization under his command blocked the traffic because of the organization of fans, originally this kind of trivial matter was nothing, that is, to pay a fine, at most throw a scapegoat and squat for a few months.
But this time, the official didn't know what was crazy, and they actually began to chase after it, and several fans were actually criminally detained and arrested, and the public charges were suspected of fraud, espionage, organizing underworld forces and other crimes.
Di Qianzhen, who was a thief, immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly ran away as soon as possible. Later, I got the information, and sure enough, the officials were looking for him everywhere, if he hadn't run fast, he would definitely be reunited with the fans in prison now.
This completely disrupted their plans, and as a result, they had to be launched in advance. They didn't dare to wait any longer when they smelled the crisis, and hurriedly sent the last wave of deceived little girls here for sacrifice.
The priest also walked over, looked at the girls who were already stunned with satisfaction, and then said to Di Qianzhen.
"It's nothing, your mission has been overfulfilled this time, and it's okay if you don't go to the mainland. A total of 312 maidens were sacrificed to further awaken the Lord. The next awakening cannot rely on this sacrifice, and we must create more calamities and destruction in order to increase the power of the Lord......"
Di Qianzhen said: "The main priest, the rest of the girls are filled with anesthetics, it's not good to cry like this......"
The priest raised his hands and said in an aria-like tone, "No, you don't understand, the weeping and wailing of sentient beings is our Lord's favorite spice, especially the sacrificial ......."
"Remember, these sacrifices are to be divided into 12 batches of 26 each, corresponding to the seven heads, eight arms, five tails, and three pairs of ......wings of our lord Dilla," and then he instructed his assistants: "Ready, now is the first batch of 26 sacrifices, all of which are tied according to their orientation......
The assistants skillfully tied the girls to the stone platforms......
The masked priest walked up to the first maiden and took out a crescent-like dagger and held it high. Di Qianzhen and the other priests also walked up to a young girl and raised their daggers.
"Praise the great destruction, Dila will come!" began the priest to recite a series of babbling prayers.
All the believers fell into a frenzy, they shouted desperately, and they danced like they had been drugged.
If you look closely, you can see that these stone platforms are placed in a certain orientation, and each stone platform is connected by grooves, and finally these grooves are gathered under the statue seat.
"Poof!" the priest plunged a dagger into the girl's chest, and the light in the girl's eyes dimmed and she stopped breathing.
Crimson blood poured down the grooves around the stone platform and into the statue's pedestal.
"Poof...... Burst...... Poof...... "As the girls were sacrificed, there was no trace of blood under the statue, and this thing seemed to be sucking blood.
With the disappearance of the girls' lives, the statue seems to be more vivid, and the eyes seem to be slightly shining.
As the eighth priest was about to sword, a dazzling pillar of light suddenly passed through his body. The pillar of light flickered, and then half of the priest's body collapsed to the stone platform.
"There are enemies!, believers, the time has come to defend the way!" the priest cried out after a moment's pause.
After saying that, he hid behind the statue, and Di Qianzhen and a few clever priests also ran away.
The cultists hurriedly got up, scrambled to find weapons, and prepared to resist stubbornly.
"Huhuhu...... ......At this moment, countless pillars of brilliant light poured in from the entrance of the cave......
