Chapter 349: Evil Magic Blinds the Heart
The rest of the people in white clothes and white armor gently put the knife at their feet, and then also picked up the wooden box from under the stone platform, held it in their hands, and looked at the desperately struggling bloody people on the stone platform.
Just now, a few people used knives to cut the man's skin, but it did not hurt his life, but it was very likely that his blood flowed all over his body, all over his body. At this time, the bloody man lying on the stone platform began to struggle desperately with all his last strength, and he couldn't care about the pain in his body, and once again let out a desperate roar.
The roar was infinitely amplified through the gap, like a trapped beast, making its last desperate struggle. Unfortunately, the ropes that bound him, although they didn't look special, pulled him back when he felt like he was about to break free, and this back and forth only made his blood gush more and could not coagulate.
The old yellow head looked at the scene under the cracks, and said softly: "Look carefully, don't take your eyes off, they are going to perform a ritual, this is the main event." It's just that the scene is a little bloody, if you can't stand it, don't make any sound, so as not to startle the snake. ”
The other two nodded, continuing to look at the stone platform. The people on the stone platform seemed to have given up the struggle and looked around in despair, full of the last desire for life. Another bell rang, distant and pure, out of place with the rituals here.
But the priests, who were dressed in white clothes, took a step forward as if they had been commanded, and surrounded the people on the stone platform. And the white-clothed people who had been prostrate on the ground also began to get up one after another, holding the quaint porcelain bowl at their feet, holding it high above their heads, waiting for the gift of the ceremony.
After a long wait, there was another "bell", which caused the resonance of the horn bell on the short cane. The group of people lifted the lid of the box in unison, and pulled out a cloud of pale red dirt, which was also covered with the "Heavenly Blood Moss" that they had seen just now.
It's just that this "Heavenly Blood Moss" is different from what everyone sees, it is not an ordinary dark gray, but with a faint pink, which is particularly dazzling in the reflection of the torches.
Seeing this, the old yellow head lowered his voice and continued: "This is the blood moss they have carefully cultivated, and it is not the same as the one outside. Moreover, these blood mosses have already quoted the blood of children, otherwise there would never be such a bewitching color. ”
Hearing this, both Hades and Moye put their hands on the blades behind the two of them, ready to wait for the opportunity to eradicate all of these demons. But the old yellow head held them down left and right, "Don't act rashly, it's just an ordinary person, the purpose must be to bewitch those white-clothed people holding bowls." At this time, the deeper secret may never surface. ”
Although the two did not withdraw their hands, they still slowly let go of the blades they were holding, but their hearts were mixed. Seeing this kind of thing happening in front of your eyes, there is no reason not to take action. Even if they are killers, they will only kill those who should be killed, but this kind of gossip to confuse the public will naturally be eliminated quickly.
While the priests held the blood moss in their hands, the other hand did not put the wooden box down. Both hands are raised high above the head, looking very solemn. As the leader finally let out a muffled sound, Weng Ran's voice sounded around the stone platform, and the people crawling under the stone platform also began to follow the sound, picking up and putting down the bowl that was raised above their heads.
The sound was diffuse and made people feel drowsy. The three of the old yellow heads had to cheer up and continue to watch everything on the stone platform. There was another "bell", and the dull chanting of the priests came to an abrupt end, and they slowly lowered the blood moss held high in their left hand on the bloody man, and then took a step back in unison.
The bloody man on the stone platform has been completely covered with blood moss, and there is no trace of omission. And the bloody man, who had lost hope of struggling, began to struggle desperately again the moment the blood moss was put on. But now, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't shake off the blood moss.
The bloody moss was like maggots on tarsal bones, clinging to the bloody man's body, and making the sound of insects gnawing. Severe pain was accompanied by struggle, and shaking began without purpose. The priest and the man in white knelt on the spot like statues, quietly waiting for the ceremony to end.
A strange scene happened at this time, as the blood on the stone platform shook, those pale red blood mosses began to quickly fill and expand, almost instantly becoming more than twice as large as before. And this is not the end, but the beginning. From the blood moss, which had grown larger, clumps of small insects began to crawl out, burrowing through the gaps in the blood moss, and seeping in.
The bloody people, who had long been ignorant of life and death, suddenly began to shake violently, but those white-clothed people still didn't make any movements, but the porcelain bowl they were holding stretched up unconsciously.
Under the gaze of Lao Huang and the other three, the bloody man wrapped in blood moss began to shrink rapidly, gradually drying up, and finally turning into skin and bones. The small reddish worms once again emerged from the cracks in the blood moss, but their color became bright red, and they were several times larger than before.
The insects did not return to the blood moss, but crawled down the stone platform in groups. The group of priests immediately put the wooden box in their hands on the ground, took two steps back, and stared intently at the trajectory of the insect in front of them. When the first worm fell off the stone platform, then looked around, it rushed straight to the nearest wooden box and disappeared.
The rest of the worms did the same, pouring into the wooden boxes in all directions. When the last one also got into the wooden box, the priests in white clothes and white armor quickly grabbed the wooden box and the lid, sealed the box, and placed it at their feet.
At this time, they were all puzzled by the Immortal Venerable and Mo Ye in the field, and they all turned their heads to look at the old yellow head. The old yellow head said a little impatiently: "These little insects are the same as those that bite Luo Xiu, but the cultivated varieties are more pure, so the whole body is pure white, and it will become like this after sucking blood." ”
"And what do you mean by putting them in a wooden box?" Mo Ye threw out another question.
The old yellow head pointed to the swollen blood moss, and said with a smile: "Those who hold the bowl are blessed." While it's still hot, grab a few bites. As for the wooden box, you'll find out later. ”
Mo Ye almost wanted to scream, but he was covered by the Immortal Venerable, and then put the hanging heart into his stomach and spit out a word softly, "Eat?" ”
"Or else? Do you want to take it home and offer it? The old yellow head rolled his eyes, feeling that this question was really ridiculous. But to the ears of Hades Venerable and Mo Ye, this is completely subverting the imagination, and they don't know why the old yellow head knows all this so clearly......
Without waiting for the two to continue asking, the old yellow head said leisurely: "Once, I also eaten." It's not what you think, I'm forced to do it. ”
Immortal Venerable and Mo Ye were silent, and looked in the direction that the old yellow head was pointing again. I saw the priests pick up the knives at their feet, walk to the stone platform, cut up the blood moss that was still covering the corpse, and then held it in the palm of their hands and walked towards the edge.
When they came to the edge of the stone platform, the man in white who had been waiting for a long time began to move forward and stopped when he came to the bottom of the stone platform. Because it was kneeling, it didn't go fast. None of the white-clothed people behind him made a move, and they all maintained the posture of holding the bowl, waiting for this "sweet" gift.
The priests divided the blood moss they held in their hands into nine pieces of the same size, and then picked up one of them and placed it in the bowls of the white-clothed men in the first row. The hands of the white-clothed men holding the bowls trembled a little, and then silently stepped back, as if they had received the most special gift in the world.
And so on and on, until the nine pieces of blood moss were distributed, and everyone returned to their original positions.
Then the white-robed priests took the wooden box and the staff on the ground, and raised the wooden box above their heads, and the staff began to rock up and down. After shaking nine times, the first of the white-clothed priests took a step forward and said, "You are all blessed people, and in your hands is a holy medicine for longevity, and you can stay young forever after taking it. ”
The group of white-clothed men began to tremble, as if they were overly excited, and as the chief priest shook the staff again, the white-clothed men regained their composure.
"You are all people who have been favored by the heavens, quickly remove the veil and take the holy medicine." After the chief priest finished speaking, he took the lead in chanting an obscure incantation, which seemed to reflect a sacred atmosphere.
The old yellow head tugged at the clothes of the Immortal Venerable and said softly, "In a while, we will go down the stone stairs on the side, and then follow up." ”
"So many people, won't they be discovered?" When Mo Ye heard about the old yellow man's plan, he couldn't help frowning.
"No, these people in white, after eating the blood moss, will fall into a state of suspended animation and be at the mercy of others." There was no emotion in the old yellow man's words, as if these people in white were already a corpse in his eyes.
When the old yellow head and the others cast their eyes again, the people in white took off their veils and revealed their true faces. When the three of them saw it clearly, it turned out that these people, all of whom were about thirty years old, were the most delicate age for women. No wonder she cherishes the "holy medicine" so much, just ask, which woman doesn't want to stay young forever?
When the chief priest shook the short staff in his hand again, the white-clothed women ate the blood moss one after another, knowing that it was the smell of the fishy and unpleasant, but they were extremely intoxicated one by one.
But this hallucination is always short-lived, and with the first woman in white to the end, those women who have eaten blood moss have fainted to the ground, but with a faint smile on the corner of their mouths, they seem to have entered a fantasy of physical and mental pleasure. But the chief priest immediately turned to the rest of the men, and commanded, "Choose eleven to take them, and store the others for later use." ”
Everyone raised their hands to their chests, bowed their heads and said in unison: "No." ”
Then the eleven jumped down from the stone platform, burrowed into the crowd, put the good-looking, younger-looking women on their shoulders, and walked deeper into the cave.
The chief priest did not stop for the slightest, but subconsciously glanced up before turning around, and then jumped off the stone platform and disappeared......
After there was no more white-clothed priest on the spot, the three of them withdrew their gaze, and some of them had palpitations. The old yellow head had already stood up at this time and walked towards the stone steps, without looking back, but said indifferently: "Let's go, those people will die if it's too late." ”
"Is there a way out?" Mo Ye's face was overjoyed, thinking that the old yellow head would definitely be able to save these people.
The old yellow head stopped and sighed, "Look at their creations......
