Chapter 454: Sacrificial Sword
The Ghost King Sect stands in the north of the central part of Fengdu.
At first, it was a big city, what was the original name of the city, I'm afraid only the older generation of people have some memory, since the Ghost King Sect settled here and took root, and sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, the city has only one name: Ghost King Sect.
Those who came here for the first time would be surprised, because in addition to the imperial soldiers, almost half of the people on duty at the city gate were people from the Ghost King Sect wearing dark clothes and embroidered with skulls and swords on their chests. The jurisdiction of this city seems to be in the hands of the Ghost King Sect. According to Bai Jie, those imperial soldiers were just putting on a show, and all the people who were really responsible for patrolling and investigating were the disciples of the Ghost King Sect.
Fifth, Tingyun stood under the city gate, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a force is so big that it can compete with an empire. As small as a city and a pond, the Ghost King Sect is an example, and as large as the Yang Empire, the Martial God Temple is a model.
"Miss!"
Tingyun and Bai Jie, who were originally in line in the queue to enter the city, looked around to pass the waiting time. Unexpectedly, a sharp-eyed young man at the city pass recognized Bai Jie, and hurriedly beckoned several disciples of the Ghost King Sect around him to run over, and five or six people half-knelt on the ground, and preached in unison: "Welcome to the eldest lady." The sect master has been waiting for the young lady for many days, and he also asks the young lady not to delay and return to the ghost king's palace as soon as possible. ”
"Get up. Bai Jie grimaced, made a gesture of raising her hand, and then said to the fifth Tingyun, "Childe, let's go." ”
Bai Jie's indifference in the face of the disciples of the Ghost King Sect, and the sudden change of enthusiasm, made the fifth Tingyun not react at once. He said "um", walked out of the queue side by side with Bai Jie, and entered the city gate directly through the special passage.
"Is that little girl the inheritor handpicked by Sect Master Ji?"
"I really can't see it, she's only in her early tens, and she's already the next generation of sect masters of the Ghost King Sect. ”
"Have you heard? Just half a year ago, that little girl was still an ordinary person, but now she has stepped into the realm of Nayuan, and her talent is really amazing!"
"Did you notice the boy next to her?"
"Yes, to be able to get so close, is it because my brother can't do it?"
"No, no, no, I've never heard of her having a brother......"
The people queuing up looked at the backs of Bai Jie and Fifth Tingyun entering the city, and couldn't help but exchange their heads and discuss eagerly. Especially the young man who could walk side by side with the next sect master of the Ghost King Sect was even more interesting to them.
The discussion became louder and louder, and more and more people joined the discussion, and the disciples of the Ghost King Sect had to cough and shout: "The matter of the eldest lady must not be presumptuous!"
As soon as he drank it, the discussion was much quieter, but the whispering was still endless.
The disciples of the Ghost King Sect also knew that it was impossible to keep people from talking about it at all. There is a huge Fengdu County, and the ghost king Zongda has a kind of faction of the soil emperor, and this sword sacrifice ceremony, the sect master is even more widely invited and makes a big fuss, so that it is not normal to be talked about.
"Boss, who do you say that young man is?"
"Is it the eldest lady's brother?"
"Yes, yes, I see that the eldest lady is respectful to him, what is he doing when he comes to the Ghost King Sect?"
"I do know a little bit of that kid's origins. ”
"Speak quickly, speak quickly. ”
"I don't know the specifics, anyway, that kid went to the Ghost King Sect once a few months ago. The sect master also tested him with the Ghost Shadow Thirteen Swords, but I don't know what the result was......"
When Bai Jie and Fifth Tingyun completely disappeared into the city gate, Rao is disciples of the Ghost King Sect who guarded the city couldn't help but talk in a whisper. For ordinary disciples like them, it's probably just a little fun.
In front of the palace of the ghost king in the city.
Fifth, Tingyun looked up at the gate of the Ghost King Palace, and the two stone lions standing in front of the door, one roaring and the other galloping, gave people a sense of domineering at a glance. Looking at the three big characters of "Ghost King Sect" written on the door plaque, he asked: "Xiao Jie, in fact, I have always been curious, Ji Sanniang is a very beautiful woman, why did she create a 'Ghost King Sect' so, uh, such an infiltrating sect?"
Bai Jie pondered for a while, then tilted his head and replied, "Probably because this is a killer organization." ”
"Then you don't have to take this name," the fifth Tingyun said, "In my opinion, it's good to change it to the Peony Pavilion, isn't there a good saying, the peony flower is also a ghost to die, this is also in line with the temperament of the killer." ”
As soon as he heard this, Bai Jie immediately retorted: "Childe, the Ghost King Sect has never used lust to complete assassinations. ”
As soon as the words came out, Bai Jie's face turned red. Her heart was pounding, and she wondered if Childe would think that I understood such nonsense at such a young age when she heard what I said...... Oh, it's all to blame on Sister Charm, if she hadn't told me these things, I wouldn't know......
"Yo~ The fifth son is also here. ”
At this moment, a soft voice came out, and following the voice, I saw a graceful woman swaying out of the temple door.
"Sister Mei. ”
Bai Jie exclaimed with some surprise, joy and shame.
Mei came to the fifth Tingyun, took Bai Jie's hand, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how can I hear you call me weird." ”
"No, no. Bai Jie hurriedly denied it, her eyes dodging.
When the three of them entered the hall, someone immediately came over to take away Bai Crane and the lame three, and Bai Jie returned to the Ghost King Sect, so it was inevitable to see Ji Thirteen Niang. And the fifth Tingyun was not arranged to live for the time being, so he had to go with Bai Jie. The master and apprentice, as well as the four sisters of Ying, Mei, Xiao, and Wei, Yingying Yanyan, talked and laughed non-stop, and the fifth Tingyun couldn't interject alone, so he could only sit dryly.
finally waited for Ji Shisanniang to release people, and Bai Jie took the fifth Tingyun to the residence.
Walking in the Ghost King Sect, the Fifth Tingyun could feel that everyone except the sect master was relatively busy. Even the four of them, Spirit, Charm, Dragon, and Dragon, always ran in and out, and there was no doubt that it was all for the sword sacrifice ceremony three days later!
Spring goes and autumn comes, and the sun sets and rises.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the sword sacrifice has arrived.
The sword sacrifice ceremony is arranged on the sacrificial platform, which was specially built by the Ghost King Sect for the annual sword sacrifice ceremony, and has been standing in the northern part of the Ghost King Sect for several years. In the early morning of this day, everyone in the Ghost King Sect left early to go to the sacrificial platform.
Fifth, Tingyun and Bai Jie followed Ji Shisanniang to the altar.
As soon as a few people appeared, someone immediately noticed the fifth Tingyun beside Bai Jie and behind Ji Sanniang. In this way, many people have cast inquiring eyes on the fifth Tingyun, and being able to follow behind Ji Sanniang undoubtedly shows that this person is recognized by Ji Sanniang. In Fengdu County, there is no teenager who can have this status, no!
So it's outside of Fengdu County?
But I haven't heard of it either.
Lazily chatting with Bai Jie about the fifth listening cloud of the sky, he did not have the consciousness that had become the center of the discussion. His eyes rolled as he surveyed the quadripartite altar. The altar is actually not very large, just a square stepped platform, the top of the platform is about a zhang square, and a stone sword is inserted in the center. The stone sword has a thin blade, and the hilt has a complex and beautiful pattern, so you can tell at a glance that it is a female sword.
