Chapter 943: Sacrifice
With a smile in his eyes, the lines on his face were squeezed together, revealing a smile, but his mouth was too wide, and it looked hideous and terrifying, and he said in a bewitching voice: "As long as you make a sincere wish to me, I will fulfill your wish~"
He hooked his paws, restrained his anger, and showed a little gentleness, "Doesn't the princess want to resurrect your father?" Don't you want to kill the pony and keep the city? ”
The princess's eyes rolled with tears, she looked at the ugly thing in front of her, and when she saw his mouth closed one by one, she couldn't help but be afraid and wanted to retreat, "You... Can you really save my father? ”
The thing smiled, "My dear princess, naturally, as long as you ......" He played with his fingers, showing a look of wanting to say something.
"Just what?" The princess spoke hurriedly.
"Oh, as long as you sacrifice your life to me, I can fulfill all your wishes for you~" The thing spoke eagerly.
The princess took a step back and shook her head slightly, "No, Father said let me ......"
"Hehe~" The thing showed a weird smile, "Your father? Haha, all of this is for you by me, otherwise Her Royal Highness the princess thinks that with your father, your Li family can sit firmly in the Wenguo Kingdom for fifty years? ”
When the princess heard the meaning of this, she was so frightened that she stepped back, and she shook her head, "No, no, my father will not be like this!" ”
"Otherwise, why do you think your royal brother would die? If you don't pay some price, how can you let your father sit on the throne? The thing stared sarcastically at the girl in front of it, a hint of longing in its eyes.
He stretched out his paws and slowly moved his fingers, "Come, dear princess, I have been waiting for you for thousands of years, sacrifice your life and soul to me!" ”
In an instant, a gust of wind blew in the dungeon, and Her Royal Highness the princess who was being manipulated seemed to have lost her mind, her eyes were glazed, and she slowly walked up to the altar.
Jiang Futing and Cheng Da wanted to make a move, but in their past memories, they couldn't use any magic at all.
"What can I do?" Cheng Da looked anxious.
Jiang Futing frowned, and after a few attempts, his fingers lit up with a golden light, and Cheng Da's eyes lit up when he saw this.
"Let go of the princess!" With an angry shout, Ning Jue broke in with a sharp sword, his armor was covered with blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own or someone else's.
"Yo, His Royal Highness King Ning is also here~" The monster laughed.
Ning Jue didn't say much, he rushed forward directly with his sword, but was suddenly struck out by the light on the monster's body.
Ning Jue lay on the ground and struggled for a long time before he got up, and when he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood, "Let go of the princess!" ”
"Heh, I really can't see that His Royal Highness King Ning is an infatuated lover, but it's a pity that the princess can't wait for you to die, and be caught between your father and her lover, right? Ahaha~"
"I'll kill you!" Ning Jue's hands were violent, and he picked up his sword from the ground and rushed over.
The monster suddenly pushed the princess to Ning Jue, Ning Jue was startled, suddenly withdrew his sword, and hugged the princess who had closed her eyes and was already unconscious.
"Lan~"
A flash of pain flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the princess's forehead, and looked at the person in his arms with a serious expression.
After a while, the princess snorted in her mouth, frowned, opened her eyes, and when she saw Ning Jue, she was slightly stunned, and soon came back to her senses, pushed Ning Jue away, and her eyes became disgusted and hateful.
"Princess, sacrifice you to me, I will help you kill him~" The monster opened its teeth and claws, and its voice was bewitching.
The princess glanced at Ning Jue and looked away, that is, this glance swept over, but she didn't see the pain and struggle in Ning Jue's eyes.
"Good~"
Ning Jue looked at the princess in disbelief, her lips moved, "Lan Zhi~"
"Don't call me, you make me sick!" The princess left such a sentence, picked up the red dress, jumped over, and went to the altar.
"Lan Zhi!" Ning Jue ignored the injury on his shoulder, grabbed his sword and rushed towards the monster, Cheng Da on the side was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and in a hurry, he suddenly took out the jade card in his arms and threw it out, only to see a burst of golden light, which actually broke the illusion.
Even though there was a change in front of him, only Cheng Ming was holding a dagger in his hand on the altar and stabbing at himself.
"Amin!" Cheng Da was so frightened that he even pounced, and even forgot to use the spell.
Jiang Futing made a move, and with a stone, he directly knocked down the dagger in Cheng Ming's hand, and the figure fell straight down.
Cheng Da hurriedly supported his son, and said with a anxious expression: "Son, son? ”
Jiang Futing stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Ming's wrist, quickly checked him and said, "People are fine~"
After a while, Cheng Ming frowned, sighed in his mouth, opened his eyes, and saw his father and Jiang Futing, he was slightly stunned, "Father, Brother Jiang~"
He struggled to sit up, but his head hurt, and he lay back again, Cheng Da scolded anxiously: "Don't move~"
Cheng Ming touched his head, looked dumbfounded, and frowned: "What's wrong with me?" How do I feel like I've had a long dream~"
He looked at the complicated meaning on the faces of his father and Brother Jiang, and couldn't help but ask, "Is all this true?" ”
He looked around and saw that he was lying on the circular altar, the complex lines spread everywhere, and the eight white jade pillars around him were carved with the scene of the dragon and phoenix taking off, from the scales of the dragon's body to each piece of the phoenix's phoenix feathers, they were all carved lifelike, very realistic.
The surrounding walls are carved with four murals, which are delicate and ornate.
He exhaled slightly, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly stood up with his father's hand, and said with a blank expression: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Cheng Da sighed, didn't speak, looked at Jiang Futing, and motioned for him to speak.
"Look at the murals~"
Jiang Futing raised his feet and walked over, looked at the mural and said: "All the secrets are actually on this mural, you see that on this first mural, it depicts some people raising their hands and dancing around the fire, look, there are coveted monsters in the air~"
"What are they doing here?" Cheng Ming wondered.
"It's a sacrifice~" Cheng Da sighed and grinded the things in his hand, this is what saved his son just now, it is a small jade plate, which has been passed down from the ancestors of the Cheng family.
On the second picture, the army is depicted attacking the city, the soldiers on the city wall look happy, waving the flag in their hands, the word on the flag is a text, this is the scene of the first arrival of the Wen Kingdom, attacking the city of another country, they won.
The third is in the magnificent palace, the old emperor sits on the dragon chair and coughs up blood, and the people standing below can't see their faces clearly, tilting their heads, holding a small white jade bowl in their palms.
The fourth picture is what Jiang Futing and others saw in their memories, the princess dressed in red lay on the cold altar, sacrificed herself, cut her wrist with a dagger, and the blood flowed into the lines on the altar, and finally the princess stabbed the dagger into her heart and issued a vicious curse.
When the three of them saw these four murals, they were all silent, this sincere person did not bring the gospel to Wenguo at all, but came to kill and blood.
"What the hell is he?" Cheng Ming frowned, although he was in a daze just now, as if he had fallen into a dream, but the image of the monster was also clear, such an ugly and disgusting monster was definitely not a god.
"It is a kind of yaksha, also called gluttony, feeding on greed and the desire to prey on people, they also like to eat the souls of living people, if they get the souls of voluntary sacrifices, they will be resurrected and re-enter the human world~" Jiang Futing said.
Oh, it turns out that from ancient times to the present, the sacrifice is not a god at all, but a greedy ghost of evil things in the underworld, a greedy ghost who wants to obtain an immortal soul.
"The formation on this altar is a particularly insidious and evil formation left over from ancient times, and only a very small number of people know it, but they don't know how this thing can travel in Wenguo?" Jiang Futing was puzzled, and his eyes fell on the altar, stained with black blood.
"Huh? Since you say that the sacrifice was successful, then why didn't the Yaksha rise again? Cheng Ming asked.
When Jiang Futing and Cheng Da heard this, they were slightly stunned, and quickly glanced at each other, and caught some branches in their minds, the black and red blood stains left on the altar and everything they saw in Licheng seemed to tell them that the princess's sacrifice was successful, so why is it like this?
Oh, it's not right, except for the fact that the Yaksha was not resurrected, everything else seems to have come true, the country of Wen was destroyed, and no one took the Li family's country~
"Hey, look, this is a stone statue of a Yaksha?" Cheng shouted.
Jiang Futing and Cheng Ming came over, only to see that on the stone wall, using the technique of engraving, a monster with a head like a hump and a hideous face was carved, which looked a bit similar to the Yaksha they had seen before.
"This carving is really good~" Cheng Ming couldn't help but touch Yaksha's face, he didn't know where he touched the mechanism, he just heard a click, and the altar rumbled.
The altar was divided into two and slowly opened.
When the three of them saw it, they were all stunned, only to see that under the altar was a rectangular stone pit three feet wide and two meters wide, and in the pit was a white bone, and there was a jade pendant beside it.
"It's... Is this the princess? Cheng Da was stunned.
Jiang Futing didn't speak, stretched out his hand and took out the jade pendant from inside, only to see that the jade pendant was surrounded by carved patterns, and in the middle was a Lan character.
Cheng Da and Cheng Ming looked at it and immediately understood that this skeleton belonged to Her Royal Highness the princess.
Just this dagger?
Jiang Futing and Cheng Da's eyes fell on the altar not far away, where a dagger that had just been knocked out was dropped.
The eyes of the two turned to Cheng Ming's face again, "No, it's not me, I didn't think about why I opened the mechanism just now?" Cheng Ming waved his hand and explained.
Jiang Futing frowned, he got up and walked towards the corner of the main hall, Cheng Da and Cheng Ming didn't know why, and they also followed.
"Drink! How can there be a corpse here~" Cheng Ming frowned.
I saw that in the dark corner of the main hall, there was a white skeleton lying on his stomach, if it weren't for Jiang Futing's sharp eyes, they really wouldn't have seen it.
Jiang Futing didn't speak, squatted down, lifted up the bones and laid them flat on the ground.
Soon they discovered that it was the skeleton of a man, tall with a skull with an open mouth and a hideous expression.
"Who is this?" Cheng Da frowned.
"His Royal Highness King Ning~" Jiang Futing said.
"How is this possible? Didn't we see His Royal Highness King Naning......" Cheng Da thought about this, and suddenly closed his mouth.
Jiang Futing's finger slowly pointed at the skull on the ground, "He has a hideous expression, his mouth is open, he must have experienced great pain before he died, and more importantly, you see the ...... in his chest"
