Chapter 1072: Human Sacrifice
Ye Fan originally thought that the underground palace was likely to be an abandoned ancient building like Atlantis, and perhaps only ruins remained, but when he felt such a grand scene in the underground kingdom, his heart was still shocked.
This underground city alone has a population of more than tens of thousands, and none of them have immortal cultivators, which means that they are just ordinary mortals.
The humans of the "Ulala...... underground have their own language, and after hearing the strange sound of music, they go in the direction of the palace, shouting the same words all the way.
As if it was a phrase in religious belief, something like "Amida Buddha" or "praise Allah" or something like that, Ye Fan and the others followed the crowd in the direction of the palace.
"Senior brother, I feel that there are immortal cultivators in the palace, and among them, there are actually people who have cultivated above the Yuan Infant stage. Wu Ding looked at the palace in the distance and said with a very dim glow.
Ye Fan nodded, he had also felt it before, which showed that there were still immortal cultivators in the underground kingdom, and these immortal cultivators should be the ruling class of the underground kingdom, and these rulers used the religious situation to control the people of the underground kingdom.
Li Zhaojun said: "This is the underground world, it is bleak, crops cannot be grown, and the food on the ground cannot be transported down, what do they live on?"
Ye Fan said: "These can only be investigated slowly. ”
The crowd was still moving in the direction of the palace, and before finally reaching the palace, the brilliance was a little brighter, but like the dark room of an old photo studio, the faint light only allowed people to see the road ahead.
The tall palace is dozens of meters high, and suddenly a group of cultivated people came out from above, and the underground residents who were watching below suddenly cheered, and finally they bowed and knelt on the ground, calling "Wulala......".
Ye Fan and the others didn't kneel, because the scene was already very chaotic, there were many people, and no one would pay attention to them who were inconspicuous in the crowd.
A woman came out of the "Kala......", and with a wave of her hand, the underground inhabitants stood up from the ground and began to cheer towards the platform at the top of the palace.
The woman was dressed the same as the people below, she was also draped over her body with a sheet, her face was covered with a cloth, covering her face, and she couldn't see her face clearly, and there were several men standing next to her who had cultivated around the Jindan period, and the woman began to speak, as if she was giving a speech, speaking impassionedly, and Ye Fan noticed that this woman's cultivation had not even reached the Jindan period, but only in the later stage of foundation building. Wu Ding smiled and asked, "Senior brother, do you think she is the saint or empress of this underground?"
Ye Fan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
When the woman finished speaking, the underground residents below suddenly cheered, and out of it came a graceful woman, and the enthusiasm of the residents was completely ignited.
Qingxu said: "I don't understand what they're talking about, senior brother and sister, let's go up and have a look." ”
"Senior sister, don't act rashly, we're not here to make enemies. Ye Fan reminded, "Let's see what they are going to do, and then we will go out from the crowd and look elsewhere to see ......"
Ye Fan stared at the top of the palace platform.
He could detect that the girl's cultivation had reached the early stage of Jindan, half a level higher than the woman's cultivation, but the girl did not have absolute authority and was driven by the woman to walk.
But when I saw the graceful girl, she stepped over a brazier, and then several ordinary girls who didn't even have cultivation came over, wrapped her in a huge blanket, and the people rolled her up, and then several girls lifted her up and went to the palace.
The underground inhabitants of the "Ulala......" have become a boiling ocean.
Ye Fan estimated that there were about 100,000 residents gathered around the palace, and there were so many residents in an underground kingdom, which Ye Fan did not expect.
"Let's go. Ye Fan saw that the people on the palace platform had already returned to the palace, greeted him, and walked through the crowd with Wuding and Li Zhaojun, and approached the bottom of the palace.
After the religious ceremony ended, the people began to disperse, but Ye Fan had to find a way to blend into the palace.
The palace is like a royal palace, surrounded by walls, but it is an earthen wall, and the doors of the earthen walls are guarded by guards.
Ye Fan suddenly raised his hand, forming a closed aura field, so that he could completely hide several people in it, which was equivalent to a "stealth technique". So that even if they passed through the gate smoothly, no one would notice them.
Entering the palace, there are corridors that lead to which you don't know where they lead.
Ye Fan closed his eyes, feeling the direction of the movement of those cultivators before, he led the way in front, all the way to a very wide hall, only to hear the sound of talking inside.
And the language of the conversation this time is completely the language of Huaxia, which means that the people in it are also from the Huaxia family, but they have just moved underground.
“…… Mother, why do you want to sacrifice me, is my life worth less than a livestock?" A delicate woman's voice came from inside, it was the graceful girl who had been wrapped in a blanket on the palace platform before.
The woman's voice came: "Mother is not going to sacrifice you, you are a sacrifice in exchange for the protection of the gods." Now that even the gods have rejected us, and in the long run our kingdom will be ruined, do you want to watch your people kill each other over food?"
The girl cried, "But there are no real gods, and all these things are made up by you." ”
"No, the energy body is real, it was given to us by the gods, but now that the gods have taken back the energy body, our holy relics are gone. The underground is deprived of energy, and it will soon decay to the point where it will not be able to survive!"
The woman said, as if she had made up her mind: "Take her out and sacrifice her to heaven before our people!"
Although Ye Fan didn't understand the meaning of the conversation between the mother and daughter, he probably expected that the so-called "Heavenly God" should be Lan Jing's mother, and the holy relic that could give energy to the underground kingdom was the big blue crystal that Lan Jing had been guarding. But after the destruction of the blue crystal two days ago, the underground kingdom has lacked a source of energy, so their food has been cut off, so there is an activity of using living people to sacrifice today, in order to re-invigorate the gods and give holy relics.
But isn't that?
The big blue crystal has completely melted, and the whereabouts of the blue crystal mother are unknown, and the energy body will not reappear just by killing a person as a sacrifice.
Wu Dingdao: "Senior brother, it seems that we are not here at the right time." ”
"Whether it's time or not, we can't let them be obsessed, that girl is innocent. Ye Fan said.
Wu Ding smiled and said: "I can't see it, the junior brother still wants to be a hero to save the beauty, don't the junior brother want to be the emperor of this underground kingdom, or want to be the god they worship?"
