Chapter 352: Sacrificial Ceremony
The moon is in the sky, and the time is coming, and the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin.
And at this time, a slight footstep came, and Jing Chen could even hear the involuntary gasping sound around him, which made Jing Chen's brows furrow, who is this person? Could it be the Yuan Shen Temple Master? No, what a majestic figure the Yuan Shen Temple Lord is, how could he appear with such steps?
"It's Senior Brother here!" Xiao He's face obviously had a hint of excitement.
This made Jing Chen more and more puzzled, why such a senior brother would actually make this son so excited?
When I turned my head, I saw a man coming out of the darkness, who didn't look any different.
With a bright smile on the corner of his mouth, Jingchen knew why Xiao He was so excited, it was because of this smile.
This smile earned him a lot of impression points.
Obviously, everyone was extremely in awe of this senior brother, because his arrival obviously made everyone's breathing a little faster.
The senior brother smiled at the corner of his mouth, and walked directly to the futon that belonged to him and knelt down.
With his arrival, the black-clothed servant standing next to the Child of Chaos immediately shouted, "The hall master is here, get up!"
At the voice of the black-clad servant, all of them stood up.
These people can disrespect the deputy hall master, after all, there are more than twenty of them here, but they have to respect the chief hall master,
He is not only the chief hall master of the Yuan God Temple, but also the head hall master of the eight major sub-halls under the Yuan God Temple, how high is this status?
This is also why those talented deputy hall masters will try their best to seize that position, because it has supreme glory and supreme authority.
"See the hall master!" "The master of the Yuan Shen Temple has arrived, how dare he disobey?
Through the corner of his eye, Jingchen found that the current Yuan Shen Temple Lord was dressed in a gorgeous costume, which was even more complicated and gorgeous than the emperor's costume.
Also, today is the day of the sacrifice, which can be a more solemn thing in the Yuan Shen Temple, and even Jingchen was forcibly changed into a gorgeous robe by Rick, even in order to cater to this sacrificial ceremony.
Sacrifice, whether it is in the homes of wealthy royal families or ordinary people, is an extremely solemn thing, in order to show solemnity, the master of the Yuan God Temple has changed his banker costume and put on this prosperous and heavy robe.
After receiving these forgiveness, the Lord of the Yuan God Hall nodded lightly, mumbled, and said, "Everyone get up!"
When the Yuan Shen Temple Lord waved his hand, the group immediately stood up from the ground and turned their eyes to the Yuan Shen Temple Master.
"I declare that the sacrifice begins!"
In the Yuan Shen Temple, it is natural that the master of the Yuan God Temple is the head of the horse, and everything must be under his command to enter the school
With the order of the master of the Yuan God Temple, a servant immediately sent incense to start the sacrifice.
This sacrifice is extremely simple, and it is performed once a month in the Yuan Shen Temple, so the process is as simple as possible.
Otherwise, if you live for hundreds of years, you come here every month to toss around, and it's nothing if it's short, but if it's long, who can stand it?
After the group buckled their heads a few times on the statue of the Children of Chaos, and then worshiped the previous hall masters of the Yuan God Temple, the ritual of this sacrifice can have been completed for the most part, and the most important thing has also been completed.
After sacrificing these ancestors, the Lord of the Yuan God Temple sat cross-legged on his futon, waved his hand, and everyone sat down.
Now that the sacrifice is too late, there is no need to continue the prostration.
The Yuan Shen Temple Lord swept his gaze, but this seemingly ordinary gaze was like a star, enveloping all the people.
The Lord of the Yuan Shen Temple hummed lightly and said, "Today, the deity has a happy event to announce!"
"Today, the disciples of the deity welcome the twenty-four neighbors, and they are also the last introductory disciples!"
Jing Chen was slightly surprised by these words, could it be that there are only twenty-four hall masters in total?
"Congratulations to the hall master, congratulations to the hall master!" all the generals and elders congratulated at the same time, which was just a formality.
The Yuan Shen Hall Lord nodded and said, "Now, the twenty-four deputy hall masters are in place, and the trial journey is about to begin." ”
"Twenty-four deputy hall masters, have you made the corresponding preparations?"
"Yes, Hall Master!"
The hall master asked, who can not do without? Then do you still want to take over the position of the hall master?
Obviously, no one wants to give up.
The Lord of the Yuan Shen Temple nodded with satisfaction and said, "So, good, after seven days, the main hall will gather and start the real trial journey!"
After this matter, the Lord of the Yuan God Temple immediately began to question the other elders and generals.
Rather than this different sacrifice, it is better to be an abnormal month-end summary meeting and a month-beginning arrangement meeting, and this sacrifice does play such a role.
Jingchen couldn't help but smile lightly, it seemed that this Yuan Shen Temple was the most mature of all the sects.
You know, other sects don't have such a form.
Don't look at this meeting, which is similar to a month-end summary, this meeting can summarize all the problems that happened in the previous month, so that you can discuss countermeasures here, and then start to implement and correct them.
The general practice of the sect is to think about solving it when there is a problem, but at that time the daylily is already cold, and after the solution, it is not necessarily a lesson, and it is far worse than the current one.
Jingchen had to admire, this Yuan Shen Temple master was not only strong, but his novel management method made the efficiency of the Yuan God Temple improve to the greatest extent.
Originally, the rules of the Yuan Shen Temple were relatively strict, and the rules and regulations were extremely perfect, but with the intervention of the Yuan Shen Temple Lord in this way, he was even more able to show his strengths.
It's no wonder that the current Yuan Shen Temple is the most powerful sect among the six major sects, and there is a reason for this.
Jing Chen couldn't help but chuckle, this move of the Yuan God Hall Lord could make him have some hope in his heart.
Soon, this sacrifice was over, and the Lord of the Yuan God Hall was naturally the first to leave, and after that, someone would naturally come to guide Jingchen and his party back to rest.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with the master fooling him, he was able to see through a lot of problems now, maybe it was a good thing that Piao Fu and Mo Lie didn't come here now.
The black-clothed slave led a group of deputy hall masters towards the place where they lived, and the group walked directly through the dark area above the square, and for some reason, the group appeared in a brightly lit place.
Jingchen believed that there must be a huge formation here, but unfortunately he was not Mo Xie, and Ling was not on his body, otherwise, they would definitely feel something.
On the way back to the residence of the deputy hall master, the twenty-one deputy hall masters in the group were all cold to him, and they were very unkind, but they didn't have the opportunity to do it.
This Jingchen was cleaned up by them as soon as he came, and if this came out, who didn't know that they were deliberately facing Jingchen? If it reached the ears of the hall master, it would be a troublesome thing, so the group decided to clean up Jingchen after a while.
Soon, the group was taken to an attic with only four floors and six rooms on each floor.
The shape of the room is exactly the same, one room for one person.
Under the leadership of the black-clothed servant, Jingchen came to the innermost room on the third floor, and whoever asked him to come was the latest, naturally living in the innermost.
"For seven days, rest and recuperate, and don't walk around!" the black-clothed servant gave a simple warning before exiting the room.
Jingchen raised his eyebrows, what kind of trial is it?
As soon as Jingchen sat down, someone knocked on the door, and when he looked up, wasn't it Xiao He?
Jing Chen couldn't help but smile, isn't there only one who can come to see him now? The other deputy hall masters are afraid that they can't hate themselves.
Jingchen smiled and said, "What are you doing here?"
Xiao He's expression was a little sneaky and looked around, and then he reflexively closed Jingchen's door and said, "It's just dawn now, I can't sleep, come and drink some of your situation." ”
Xiao He's actions, to be honest, made Jingchen a little moved, after all, this son has nothing to do with him.
His move was undoubtedly at the risk of offending those deputy hall masters.
But after thinking about it, there are a lot of people who have been bullied by those people, and they are not afraid of this.
It can be seen that the son is still a little scared in his heart, after all, now Jingchen is standing on the opposite side of those deputy hall masters, and the slightest change is enough to bring some trouble to himself, who wouldn't be afraid?
He smiled and said to Xiao He: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, your strength has an absolute advantage in front of them." ”
"A lot of the time, it's just that I scare myself, maybe things aren't as bad as I think. ”
"Reporter, no matter what time it is, strength can decide everything, and those deputy hall masters have to bow their heads in the face of strength, no matter how arrogant they are. ”
"Although they have the support of the elders behind them, those people don't dare to kill themselves seriously, in this case, our lives can still be guaranteed. ”
"Since there is no danger to life, what is there to be afraid of?"
It seems that Jing Chen's analysis made Xiao He understand something, nodded his head, and said, "Yes, there is some truth in your words, well, yes." ”
Jingchen smiled lightly and said: "Actually, the more you are afraid, the more rampant they become, look, just like me before, don't be afraid of them, they naturally don't dare to do anything to you!"
Just now, Xiao He couldn't help but be afraid for a while, looking at Jing Chen's expression and almost not crying, he said, "Brother Jing, do you know that you are now in the wrath of the public!"
Jingchen shook his head indifferently and said, "So what?"
Xiao He sighed faintly and said, "Brother Jing, let me introduce you to the most basic situation in our Yuan Shen Temple." ”
"Well, so, I think you should also know, the third senior brother, the fourth senior brother, the fifth senior brother and the seventh senior brother, the four of them occupy the largest power among the deputy hall masters. ”
"At the same time, they are also the most authoritative elders in the temple as their backing."
"There are also the second senior brother and the sixth senior brother as a group. ”
"The third senior brother's backer is the second elder, the fourth senior brother's is the third elder, the fifth senior brother's is the great elder, and the seventh senior brother's is the fourth elder. ”
"These four elders are the most powerful in our Yuan God Temple, and their strength and power are also the strongest. ”
"Almost, these four elders already command most of the forces of the Yuan God Temple. ”
Jingchen nodded as he listened, and asked, "What about the fifth elder and the sixth elder?"
"The Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder are the backers of the Second Senior Brother and the Senior Brother!"
This was a bit out of Jingchen's expectations, according to Xiao He's law, the status of these five elders and six elders in the Yuan God Temple was far lower than that of the four elders, but why did the second senior brother and the senior brother seem to be even more awe-inspiring to those people?
Jing Chen vaguely remembered what expressions those disciples had on their faces when the second senior brother and the senior brother appeared.
The second senior brother's is just that, except for a little uncomfortable on the faces of those senior brothers, the rest are not the slightest bit unusual.
But the appearance of the senior brother was different, whether it was those disciples, or the one hundred and thirty-two generals behind him, or the six elders, their faces all changed slightly.
Especially the five elders other than the six elders, their faces were extremely ugly.
But the face of the sixth elder was a look of relief, and it could be seen that the senior brother alone had won him a lot of glory.
Jingchen nodded and said, "What is the origin of the senior brother and the second senior brother?"
When these two senior brothers arrived, a mysterious look appeared on Xiao He's face, he looked at Jing Chen, and said, "I think you should know that the strength of the second senior brother has reached the blue level of the Yuanzong, but do you know what the realm of the senior brother has reached?"
"At the peak of Yuanzong, he may enter the realm of Yuanhuang at any time, and his qualifications and strength are the highest in front of all the deputy hall masters. ”
"Moreover, he still has the inheritance of the Yuan Sage, almost, in the near future, if there is no big change, it will be the senior brother as the hall master, which is also the biggest reason why they are all in awe of the senior brother. ”
Jingchen couldn't help nodding, oh, this brother was indeed a little shocked, I didn't expect that this senior brother had actually reached the peak of Yuanzong, which was only one step away from Yuanhuang, and if he wanted to cross, it would not be too difficult for these outstanding people, at most it could only be a little troublesome, and if he wanted to break through, there was absolutely no problem.
"The strength of the senior brother is the strongest, but he likes to be alone, there is no one around him, and the second senior brother is also extremely high, his strength is only below the senior brother, and he is the most powerful candidate for the hall master. ”
"Among the six elders, the Great Elder is the strongest, but do you know why he chose the weakest Seventh Senior Brother?"
"It is rumored that Senior Brother Seventh is his grandson, so he is qualified to come. ”
When it came to his grandson, Jingchen couldn't help but think of Hanging River, and couldn't help asking, "Who is Hanging Elder among the six elders?"
Obviously, Xiao He was a little strange why Jingchen knew the title of Elder Hang.
After thinking for a while, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, the sixth elder is surnamed Xuan. ”
As soon as these words came out, Jingchen's brows suddenly tightened, as if he had caught something, but he always felt that it was not, and it felt very weird.
Elder Hanging ranked sixth, and according to reason, he was the weakest, but his grandson Hanging He's side arranged the two Yuan Emperors.
And according to Oakes's law, he didn't even know the origin of the Hanging River, you can imagine that Oakes is the prince's person, what kind of character is the prince?
These six elders are definitely not a simple figure, but a deeply hidden.
Just by his appearance as a senior brother, it can be seen that this person can't help but be strong, and his scheming is extremely deep.
If there was no such thing as Hanging River, Jingchen might have been fooled so easily, but with Hanging River, Jingchen would definitely not be so easily fooled.
Why did Elder Hanging want Hanging River to be the hall master of the Thunder God Temple? Jingchen believed that this tripod would not be the meaning of the Yuan God Hall Master.
If it really meant by the Yuan Shen Temple Master, he would definitely have joined the ranks of the Deputy Hall Master, but why was that? Why didn't his grandson help him, but came to help an outsider?
The situation in the Yuan Shen Temple was far more complicated than Jing Chen had guessed, or it was difficult to see at all.
In this case, Jingchen naturally wanted to know more information, because only in this way could he ensure the safety of his life to the greatest extent.
Jingchen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then who are those generals in command?"
Xiao He looked at Jingchen and said: "The town hall god generals and partial generals are directly controlled by the hall master, and the one hundred and eight generals are respectively controlled by the six elders, I don't know how it is divided, but I know that many of them are very evenly divided." ”
Jingchen nodded, and then asked, "What is that trial?"
When it came to the trial, Xiao He smiled and said, "This, it's not good, every trial is different, this is completely the hall master's independent arrangement, we just need to follow the implementation." ”
"But after success, there will be unexpected benefits, and they have tried it several times before you come. ”
This made Jing Chen a little strange, wasn't it only after gathering twenty-four deputy hall masters that he could start the trial journey?
Seeming to feel the doubts in Jing Chen's mind, Xiao He said again: "In fact, before us, the twenty-four deputy hall masters had already gathered to chat, and it was precisely because of that trial that they died dead, wasted, and injured, and they could not become suitable candidates for the deputy hall masters at all, so there would be a substitute." ”
"Strictly here, you and I are just a substitute!"
