Chapter 12: The Blood Sea Altar
"The water of the Lake of Blood...... In the fall? β
Someone was surprised.
"No, that's ...... Something is rising! β
In front of everyone's eyes, a scarlet blood lake gradually protruded from the surface of a purple-black stone.
The stone square is about three feet square and can accommodate one person.
This was not over, but countless stone squares appeared one after another, one after another, forming a path leading to the center of the Blood Lake.
Eventually, at the three stone pillars, a large circular stone platform rose up, connecting with the purple-black stone square.
"The Blood Sea Altar, this is the Blood Sea Altar!" Ruan Meiniang's body was weak, and Zhang Zhenjiao hurriedly supported her.
What does this woman seem to know?
"Sister." I took the opportunity to lean over and asked, "What is the Blood Sea Altar?" β
Teenage children, women are usually not too defensive.
"The Blood Sea Altar is a place to summon extraterritorial heavenly demons......" Ruan Meiniang waved her hand repeatedly, "This place is too evil, I shouldn't have come at all." β
"Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons?" I feel like things are going in strange directions.
"Mother-in-law is timid." Zhang Zhenjian shook his head, "Little brother, don't listen to her, these are just things made up by the ancients pretending to be ghosts." β
"Actually, she wasn't wrong." Yuanhe helped Dai Jindao come over with a smile, "We didn't come here for the relics of the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons?" β
"Third sister, you have always preferred to die rather than suffer, are you really willing to leave?" Jin Yutang Li Wanshan knocked on the folding fan.
I knew that there must be something hidden in this group of people gathered here.
But they obviously didn't explain what it meant to me, an outsider.
However, the explainer came right away.
"I know everyone has doubts." The helper's wife, Ma Huahualiu, swayed lightly and stood on a high place. "There is some news that was supposed to be announced after the dinner, so in order to reassure everyone, let's talk about it now...... That's right, this Qilin Valley is exactly where the branch hall of the Demon Palace was located three hundred years ago! β
The black bat, who had been standing behind Ma Huahua, took a step forward at this moment: "Presumably, most of you present know the allusion three hundred years ago - at that time, three mysterious masters suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes, they called themselves extraterritorial heavenly demons and founded three demon palaces. The Demon Palace acted secretively and ruthlessly, and because there were too many enemies, it was finally exterminated by the joint efforts of the five sects, seven factions and thirteen sects. β
"When the late husband was alive, because the Black Wind Gang rose too fast, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that he got the treasure of the Demon Palace back then." Ma Huahua continued, "I can tell you clearly: this is true. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
"What the Heavenly Demon Relic Treasure is, I don't even know the concubine's body." Ma Huahua continued, "The last words of the late husband, the Heavenly Demon Relic Treasure is strange and unpredictable, and it is not suitable to pass it on to children and grandchildren; So behind him, whoever can find the Heavenly Demon Relic here will be the next leader of the Black Wind Gang! β
There was another uproar.
"Can anyone really do it?" Zhang Zhenjiao asked in a rough voice.
"Not only the good friends of the Black Wind Gang, such as Gang Leader Dai, Gang Leader Zhang, Lord Ruan Xiang, and Shopkeeper Li, but everyone present, even this little friend......" Ma Hua said, "As long as the Heavenly Demon Relic is found, the concubine will be regarded as the leader of the Black Wind Gang." β
Look left, look right, where are the children?
Oh...... I was actually named.
Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, Mysterious Relics, and Gang Leader Power......
With so much information, it's exciting to think about!
But I know very well that the water is too deep for me to afford to play.
The point is that it's a great opportunity to save lives.
Usually walking around the villa at will definitely arouse suspicion, but now that there is an excuse to find the Heavenly Demon Relic, it is only a matter of time before someone is found......
Poof! Poof!
Suddenly there was the sound of a heavy object falling into the water behind him.
Turning his head to look, it was actually Liu Bei and Liu Bi, two brothers, who had just fallen from the stone square and became two red soup chickens.
"The stone is unstable." Liu Bei spit out a mouthful of 'blood' water and sneered.
"As soon as you step on it, it shakes." Liu Bi added.
"Of course, it's a pumice stone." Fei Fu, who weighed at least three hundred pounds, grinned and said, "I forgot to remind everyone that this 'Blood Sea Altar' will only appear at this moment every day, and it can only last for a quarter of an hour. β
It should have been a quarter of an hour since the floating platform was raised.
Sure enough, with the turbulent surge of the lake, the stone square and the round platform slowly sank.
At the same time, a towering column of water erupted from the surface of the lake between the stone pillars, forming a sudden rain of blood in the center of the lake, bringing the curtain down on this earthly wonder.
After a while, not only did the altar disappear without a trace, but even a lake of blood began to gradually clarify.
Only the three stone pillars in the center of the lake remained, as if they were pointing to the sky, as if they were about to pinch something, but they were eventually lost......
"The Gang has set up a banquet in the main hall." Qi Tianguang said in a loud voice, "Please take a seat in the main hall." β
"Go together, go together."
The crowd dispersed.
"It's a shame on me." I shook my head helplessly and pulled the Liu brothers up from the lake.
"I'm just weird." Liu Bei wiped his blush, "Is this pumice stone man-made, or is it natural?" β
"Of course it's innate, how can a person make such a thing!" Liu Bidao.
"It's really natural, if it's man-made......" I stared intently at the three stone pillars, "The Demon Palace back then, why did you build such a thing?" β
Could the 'Blood Sea Altar', which can only exist for a quarter of an hour every day, hide some secrets?
My curiosity expanded infinitely in this moment.
But......
It's meal time!
Smelling the fragrance wafting from afar, I hurried to the main hall.
In addition to common dishes such as chicken, duck, pig and cow, there are many soups, fruits, and meats that cannot be named, and the taste is also very suitable for my appetite.
It's a pity, due to their identity, Liu Bei and Liu Bi can only go to the side hall to nibble on some coarse tea and light rice, which makes me feel a little guilty.
Don't worry, I'll eat up your brother's share!
Diarrhea that night......
thatched house, attic, thatched house, attic, thatched house, thatched house, thatched house, thatched house...... It was not until noon the next day that I woke up from my sleep.
I rolled over and got out of bed holding the chrysanthemums, looking at the sunlight outside the window, and secretly screamed in my heart: most of the day was wasted, and I don't know if the two brothers of the Liu family found anything.
"Chun Tao, help me." I saw the little maid sweeping the floor outside the door and called.
"I can't move, I deserve it, I deserve it." Chun Tao smiled evilly, "Tell you to eat, eat, eat." β
"Alas...... I forgot. I slapped my forehead and pulled out an oiled paper bag from the inner lining.
When I opened it, it was a roast chicken thigh.
"Still eating like this?" Chun Tao pouted and said, "Eat a big fat man in the morning and evening, just like a fat fortune." β
"No......," I explained, "it was meant to be given to you, but I forgot about it when my stomach hurt." β
"Ah, you take this to the hut." Chun Tao looked disgusted, picked up the oil paper bag with her fingertips, and threw it outside the door.
I smiled and let Chun Tao help me to walk outside, relaxing and relaxing my muscles that had been tense all night.
When I walked to the courtyard, I found that many people were gathered here, and from time to time they let out a shrill shout.
"What's so exciting?" Chun Tao said curiously.
"What else could it be, bet." I fumbled for my money bagβthere were only a few copper coins in it.
Ahem, there's nothing for me here, let's go.
"Wait." A gruff voice stopped me.
It was the Groove Horse Gang who advocated the Hellshake.
"Young Master Yun, right, I heard that you are young and have done a lot of business, do you want to come and play two?"
"I want to play too." I touched my nose, "But I didn't have any money with me." β
"It's okay, who doesn't have a good turnover, I'll lend you." Zhang Zhenjian patted his chest and said.
"Lend me money?" My eyes lit up.
Hehe, guess what, will I pay back this money?
