Ye Zhiqiu also told us that the sacrifice process recorded in the mural was very bloody, and it was definitely a living sacrifice, which reminded me of the corpses I saw in the Temple of the Ancestral God.

Sacrificing a living person is the highest level of worship, and there will be no other reason than for the gods, which is more certain that the mysterious disappearance of the demon kingdom is related to the twelve ancestral gods.

"The ancestral gods that the Jiuli people believe in have always had an unsolved mystery, that is, there is a reason for the formation of any god, even if the twelve ancestral gods really exist, there should also be a history." Ye Zhiqiu said to us very seriously. "I discussed this issue with Wen Lao, and Wen Lao was also very confused, the ancestral god of the Jiuli people seems to have appeared suddenly, and there is no origin to trace, I believe it is because there is no way to verify the age, but if you can find the demon country, maybe you can find a record of the origin of the ancestral god in it."

"This is a very good idea, the Twelve Ancestral Gods are closely related to the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace, if you can unlock the secrets of the Twelve Ancestral Gods, you may also be able to reveal the origin of the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace." The palace lord nodded and said.

"The Priest's Tomb has confirmed the existence of the Demon Kingdom, and the top priority is to find the exact location of the Demon Kingdom, Elder Wen asked me to go through all the documents related to the ancestors of Jiuli, hoping to find clues." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"A god ...... "My attention is still on the sacrificial ceremony that Ye Zhiqiu told me." What I'm most concerned about now is, why did the Twelve Ancestral Gods suddenly disappear, is it related to that sacrificial ceremony? ”

"There are records in the murals about the process of the sacrificial ritual." Ye Zhiqiu said.

I immediately came to the spirit and asked Ye Zhiqiu to describe the specific content, Ye Zhiqiu took out three photos from his bag, which were taken from the murals.

We gathered around, and in the first photograph we saw a mottled mural, and although the color was peeling, the picture on it recorded the entire process of the sacrificial ceremony.

A man lay flat in the middle of a circular stone platform, with cut wounds on all four limbs, and blood flowed from the man's body, along the grooves in the stone platform, into each of the four vessels around it.

Twelve faceless figures stood around the circular stone platform, witnessing the passage of life in the middle.

"The people in the middle were used for sacrifice, and the limbs were cut out and the wounds were bled out, a ritual that had never appeared in the Central Plains." Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the person in the middle of the photo and said.

"Could these twelve standing ones be the twelve ancestral gods?" Tian Ji hesitated.

"This is wrong, there have indeed been sacrifices in the temple of the ancestral gods, and it has lasted for thousands of years, the purpose of the Jiuli people's sacrifices is to show their awe of the gods, but in fact, the ancestral gods do not need any sacrifices at all, the people who are sent to the temple are just used to feed, and the real function is to ensure that the temple will always have guards to protect it." I said with a frown.

"If you think about it carefully, it really doesn't make sense, the Twelve Ancestral Gods have unimaginable power, they are real gods, and they don't need to sacrifice without any purpose." Gong Jue also looked puzzled, pointing to the photo and said. "But the twelve people standing on the mural have no faces, and Chao Ge said that the huge jade carvings found in the temple of the ancestral gods also have no faces, because the Jiuli people have never seen what the gods they have worshiped for generations are like."

"In other words, it can be determined that the one standing is the Twelve Ancestral Gods." Xue Xinrou said.

"Then the question arises, why did the Twelve Ancestral Gods participate in a meaningless sacrifice? Everything these ancestral gods have done, there is only one purpose, which is to chase the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace, unless ......" I touched my chin and said thoughtfully. "Unless this sacrifice is related to the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace."

"Look at the second one."

Ye Zhiqiu put the second photo in front of our eyes, the place was still in the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities, and it was also on the circular stone platform, but twelve human-shaped grooves appeared on it, and there were twelve people lying in front of their chests with their hands crossed, their bodies were submerged by something except their heads.

"What's inside the groove?" Xue Xinrou asked.

"It's blood, when we entered the priest's tomb, the color on the mural had not completely peeled off, and we were shocked to find that the grooves in the mural were filled with bright red liquid, which was coherent with the previous mural, and we speculated that it was blood." Ye Zhiqiu replied.

I put the two pictures side by side, and the coherent painting is a complete sacrificial process, first the blood of the living is bled out, the collected blood is injected into the groove, and then the twelve ancestral gods are soaked in the blood, even if you look at the photos, you can imagine the bloodiness of the sacrifice process at that time.

"I have not seen the real God, and in my understanding, God has been given divinity for some reason, but this divinity is quite sacred and solemn, and blood in religion does not represent loyalty but evil." Xue Xinrou looked at the photo and said intently. "The Twelve Ancestral Gods are soaked in blood, and this scene seems a little bizarre."

"The twelve ancestral gods dominated Chiyou to lead the Jiuli ancestors to fight in all directions, and almost chased the Central Plains, although the success was successful, but in the Qin Dynasty, the twelve ancestral gods supported the Qin Emperor, and finally subdued the four seas, how can a god with such great divine power need mortal blood?" I'm confused too.

"Here's the point." Ye Zhiqiu put down the last photo.

The mural in the photo is simpler, on the same circular stone platform, there is no shocking blood to be seen, and there are no twelve people lying on it before, on the clean stone, one person standing in the middle.

You can clearly see this person's facial features, and under the stone platform, tens of thousands of Jiuli ancestors knelt down to worship.

"This is the new God!" My eyes fell on the man standing on the stone platform.

"This god is more divine, compared with the previous twelve ancestor gods, he has facial features, it can be seen that the twelve ancestor gods have never let the Jiuli people see their faces, but this god is more real." Xue Xinrou said.

"That is......" the corners of Gong Jue's mouth squirmed. After a sacrifice, the twelve ancestral gods who had been believed in for thousands of years were replaced by this god?! ”

"Although it is indeed a little difficult to understand, but judging from the process recorded on the mural, it is in fact true, and the experts of the archaeological team speculate that the content recorded in the mural may be some kind of symbolic meaning, but it is difficult to deduce from what happened in the mural." Ye Zhiqiu shrugged helplessly. "Maybe everything can only be revealed when you find the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities."

"There have also been living sacrifices in the Temple of the Ancestral Gods, but the Twelve Ancestral Gods have not participated at all, what is the reason why the Twelve Ancestral Gods will personally participate in the sacrifice in the Twin Cities of the Demon Kingdom?" I muttered to myself and still couldn't figure it out.

"Speaking of this sacrifice in the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities, there is a detail in the mural that has caught our attention, whether it is the sacrificial tomb or the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities shown on the mural, its style and ornamentation are very old, and it is extremely consistent with the traditional culture of Jiuli, this can be verified, but we found a place in the mural, which is completely different from the entire Jiuli style." Ye Zhiqiu said as he picked up the first photo.

"What's the difference?" We looked at it for a long time, but we didn't find anything.

Ye Zhiqiu took out a magnifying glass: "Look at the top of the head in the middle of the mural that is used to sacrifice people." ”

I took the magnifying glass, followed Ye Zhiqiu's prompts, looked carefully, and found in the photo that there was a unique pattern on the top of the person's head on the photographed mural.

I hurriedly picked up the other two photos and compared them, except for the first mural, there was no pattern on the other two murals, which shows that this pattern is not engraved on the stone platform.

Xue Xinrou took the magnifying glass and looked at it for a long time: "The pattern only appears on the top of the head of the person being sacrificed, which means that this pattern is specific and has some very special meaning, so it can be inferred that this sacrifice is not blind, and the people who are used for sacrifice are specially selected." ”

We also somewhat agree with Xue Xinrou's inference, and as Ye Zhiqiu said, that pattern is quite special, and it is completely incompatible with the style in the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities, but it seems that the appearance of this pattern is very familiar to me.

I took the magnifying glass again, looked intently at the pattern on it, and could roughly tell that it was a regular circle, with scales on all sides, and in the middle was something that looked like a pointer.

"Compass!" Gong Jue said two words in shock.

I didn't look up, I was shocked at first, my head was buried lower, and it was really like what the palace lord said, the pattern was like a compass, and it was a compass we had seen before.

I looked up at Tian Ji with Gong Jue and Xue Xinrou, he was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to react, and he hurriedly took out the golden compass handed over to him by Ying Penitent, and compared it with the pattern on the photo, it was exactly the same.

"What is this?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at the golden compass in shock and asked.

We didn't have time to explain to Ye Zhiqiu in detail that the golden compass was something that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Ying family, and it was related to the secret of the Ying family, but we never expected that the pattern of the golden compass would actually appear in the twin cities of the Demon Kingdom.

"Uncle Ying said that the ancestors of the Ying family were taken away by the twelve gods who appeared out of thin air not long after leaving the golden compass and ancestral teachings......" Gong Jue squirmed the corners of his mouth and looked at us blankly. We have already speculated that it was the Twelve Ancestral Gods who took away the ancestors of the Ying family. ”

"The ancestor of the Ying family has been taken to the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities!" Xue Xinrou suddenly realized. And then ...... Then it was used for sacrifice by the twelve ancestral gods! ”

Ye Zhiqiu looked dazed, she didn't understand what we were talking about at all, she pulled me and kept asking me about the beginning and the end, I was so upset that I couldn't calm down at all, and I couldn't figure out why the Twelve Ancestor Gods took away the ancestor of the Ying family and why they used him to complete the sacrifice.

My eyes fell on the golden compass in Tian Ji's hand, the pattern of this thing appeared in the Twin Cities of the Demon Kingdom, it can be seen that even the twelve ancestral gods are also concerned about the golden compass, presumably this thing is definitely not simple.
