Chapter 712: Speculative Totem
The ascetic shrine is part of the shrine system, but it does not belong to the square temple or the front hall or main hall. It is an organization of all ascetics who spontaneously unite.
The ascetic society did not have many political demands, only religious ones. But don't think that the influence of the ascetic society is weak, on the contrary, several famous religious wars in history have been related to the ascetic. And the slogan of their war is to use "classical speculation" to maintain "classical purity".
"Speculative Totem!"
The audience understands the purpose of these ascetics, and this "killing of flowers" is a premeditated sacrifice. The most powerful battlefield of the ascetics - the world-famous speculative totem. The more blood sacrificed, the more powerful the speculative totem becomes. Standing on this totem, the ascetic can exert exponential strength.
It was now certain that Shen Tu Seven Bloods and the Hair Room Wolf were also ascetics, which is why the battle between them was so weird.
Needless to say, Tianxin has the power of ascetic priests in his body, which is the key to constituting the "speculative totem". And Vdoahi was just unlucky and happened to be chosen by the ascetics. It's just that I don't know who is next to be unlucky.
"We keep our promises, and classical speculation will be within the rules." Another ascetic came up, hiding in the crowd, and he took off his coat to reveal the white burlap robe he was wearing.
"Butβ" The ascetic looked at the box, "what about outside the rules?" β
"We don't care outside the rules, but are you sure it's outside the rules?" Someone in the box answered.
"Sure." The ascetic waved his hand, and saw two men escorted in with their hands tied.
Surprisingly, not many people know these two. Those who know each other are not familiar, and those who are familiar are not friends. These are just two minor characters that are insignificant. There is no need to question the ascetics for this, and no one wants to act as a savior, because they are guilty.
"The first sin: greed - take refuge in the Mangshen family, thirst but do not know how to satisfy."
Seeing that all the people were silent, the ascetics began to read out the sin.
"The second sin: cowardiceβto survive alone in the midst of trials, to abandon devotion and to persevere; The third sin: betrayal - to report to the enemies of the Mangshen family, and have rebellious thoughts. The punishment for the three sins is combined, and it is condemned according to the doctrine. He shall be punished with death.
But. They came from the land of God's forsaken and doctrinally condemned the Three Commandments, 'Those who are forsaken by God are sacrifices and sacrifices.'" β
Still no one spoke. Because among these four crimes. Only the crime of the outcasts is slightly incomprehensible. But the other crimes are all conclusively proven.
"Gangsas, we're going to die." Yasen fell to his knees and sighed. He wasn't complaining about Gonsasgucci's ventilated message. But the heart is cold.
The Divine Temple World Realm was completely different from what he had imagined, even if it was heaven here, it was someone else's paradise. They have tried a lot, but they still can't fit into this world. And they can't go back, they are like the name of the Frost Blue Galaxy in the Temple World Realm, they are the people of the Forsaken Land, and they should be abandoned.
"Not necessarily." Gangasgucci knelt on the ground, but he did not look like he was at the end of his rope, on the contrary, he was calm, as if the volcanic rock floor under his knees was a soft carpet, as if he were kneeling in front of the fireplace in his living room.
"Gangsas, do you still believe in miracles? I thought you, like me, were long past the age of fantasies. Yasen shook his head and sighed again. He believes in miracles, but he believes that miracles have nothing to do with him.
"It's not a miracle." Gonsasgucci shook his head and paused.
"It's not a gut feeling." Gangsas Guqi shook his head again: "I haven't found nothing in the Temple World Realm these days, I have discovered a very important thing, and that is cause and effect. I don't know how to describe this feeling, it's very hazy. β
"It's not the first time I've heard you say that, so I'm going to be a listener before I die." Ya Xun said indifferently.
"Well, I've been thinking about this since I left the Frost Blue Galaxy. For what will I leave? Could it really be that someone is persecuting me? Then I figured it out, no, it's not just him. It's everyone, and when everyone wants me to leave, even if they don't do anything, I still have to leave. β
"Cause and effect, I understand." Yason said.
"You don't understand, cause and effect are not absolute." Gangsasgucci shook his head: "If everyone is expecting a result, then the reason will naturally appear. The desired result is that the motive is the cause, and the reason for the appearance is the effect. β
"Speculation? It's a good location. Yasen said self-deprecatingly.
"It's a good time, too." Gangsas Guqi raised his head: "Most of the people here are actually expecting changes, and if they are a little bigger, the entire temple world is expecting them in patience, so the motive has appeared." This motivation is like a giant wheel, and the two of us once blocked the direction of this wheel, so we were ruthlessly abandoned. That's why I'm going to report the news. β
"yes, for what?"
"Because even if I was crushed, I didn't want to be thrown into the dust of the wheels!"
Gang Sasgucci said, his expression was indescribably resolute. Even if this former boss is down, he has his own bearing. He can run away, he can take refuge, he can follow the flames in order to survive, but he will not succumb to fate.
"That's right, we're going to be run over, or hacked to death."
"I don't need to be told how badly I died, I just care about how well I live."
Gang Sasgucci's words were loud and loud, and they were also heard by the ascetics next to him. The two worshippers frowned, unhappy with the sacrifice.
God's forsaken are not qualified to speculate. Even if they are not guilty, the identity of God's outcasts is enough to punish them with death. The doctrine condemns the three precepts over the others, and must not be doubted or tolerated.
The silver knife reached under the necks of Gonsasgucci and Axon, respectively, and then made an intricate slash to create a delicate wound. It's a fixed ritual, but the result is still to bleed the criminals.
The gurgling blood flowed out, not quickly, and the ritual was not over yet. The two ascetics began to chant in a low, rhythmic humming voice, after the chanting. They stitched up the bleeding wounds. This stitching is equally delicate and solemn.
The audience was silent, they hadn't seen the full set of death punishments in a long time. This set of rituals includes a series of processes such as death, resurrection, punishment, forgiveness, and so on, symbolizing God's tolerance and severity. Therefore, the criminal will be killed several times, and only after the last will he realize his sin and voluntarily give up his life under God's inspiration.
The Azure Sanctuary are not mortal, their vitality is so tenacious that ascetics can do whatever they want to bring this ritual to life in the eyes of the audience. This is also the purpose of the ascetic society, and God is majestic. It should be scary.
Except for the buzzing chanting. There was a dead silence in the room, and this ritual revealed a cruel beauty from the bones, which was even more cruel because of the beauty. Some people can't stand it and turn their heads. Those who couldn't stand it walked out. Far away from this place.
But there are still a lot of people watching. Some of these people may be really curious. But more people have a faint expectation that someone will interrupt the process. It's not that there are people who can interrupt the process, and it depends on whether they are willing to make a move......
'Prepare, prepare, fight, fight. β
In Box 4. The six leaders said word by word. He used this tone to remind his number one subordinate that he could not refute this time. However, his subordinate only nodded and asked suspiciously:
"The speculative totem has been made, but it's not a religious war, what is the ascetic society going to do?"
"How do I know Lu Dao, I know that Lu Dao is going to fight. It's still the same, you command, I'm hand-to-hand. The six leaders were gearing up, looking eager to try.
"But for what is the reason that I am in command every time, you make me think that I want to be the six leaders more." The subordinate asked.
"Cause and effect, in the symphony of fate, the melody of cause and effect intersects, and murmurs are allowed, but the main theme remains the same." The six leaders said wisely.
"Did you read the book I gave you?" The subordinate asked.
"Looked."
"Great, you actually looked at something other than the illustrations. This is great progress. β
"Of course, I'm going to prove to everyone that I'm literate, and a lot." The six leaders shook their heads triumphantly and began to dance again......
Next door to box 4, there is still the old man and the boy.
"If I'm not mistaken, our neighbors are planning to start a campaign."
The old man said, picking up the teapot on the table and pouring a glass of water unhurriedly. Then he continued:
"A glass of water, add sugar to turn into sugar water, add medicine into bitter water, add tea into tea. A simple person is like water, it is easy to be used, until nothing can be separated from him. In order to avoid this passive outcome, I intend to do it first. β
"Teacher, you're going to make a move?!"
The boy was shocked, he didn't expect his teacher to have a day to make a move. He originally thought that his teacher had long been indifferent to the rivers and lakes, and would not meddle in the disputes of the world.
"yes, I'm not sure." The old man's answer surprised the young man even more: "If I make a move, those old guys will also shoot." I haven't seen each other for many years, and I just hope they're all old and dead. β
"No, no, no! Old death-" The young man hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm not saying that you can't beat them, but I think it's worth it for those two sinners?" β
"Sinners are just an excuseβ" the old man shrugged, "and they have taken out all the speculative totems, which are clearly going to fight in the ring." β
"What is a speculative totem?"
"That is, I am talking about a realm similar to rules, which is called 'bloodthirsty'. The ascetic is extremely powerful in battle on the speculative totem, as the blood on it will constantly give him strength. ββ¦β¦
"Open!"
A box without a number, the helm of the game "True Eye" spoke, he rarely spoke, but now he spoke.
"Lord 'Wuzhu', do you really want to open? How to open this handicap? "The underground staff didn't understand, so they could only ask for advice cautiously.
"Again, bet on life and death."
"Life and death? What kind of people live and die? β
"Since it is under the rules, then it is still according to the rules of 'killing flowers'. As long as you stand on the 'killing flowers' field, you can gamble. β
What about bonuses? My lord. Which 'bonus' to use? β
"The last one."
"Wuzhu" said, squinting his eyes, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking. And the staff didn't dare to ask, since the helmsman had opened their mouths, then just do it. There were five people on the "Killing Flowers" field, two of them were steady, and the other three were hard to say......
"One piece of 'bonus'!"
The suffocating silence was broken by the long sound of the hug, and even the ascetic chanting was interrupted and frustrated before it sounded again. This setback made the atmosphere relax, and the cruelty with beauty was also broken, and the beauty was not perfect, only cruelty remained.
Two burly men came up carrying a box, and they walked up to the speculative totem.
As soon as they stepped on the speculative totem, the two big men were staggering, and their whole bodies were bleeding. Blood flowed out of the seven orifices and from the pores. After two or three steps, the two big men seemed to have aged by hundreds of years all at once, and their burly bodies were withering.
Two more big men stepped forward and took their place. The same "withering" happens to them.
"Something from somewhere I don't know what I don't know." Bao Bao was also walking up, saying as he walked, a professional smile on his face:
"His first collectors were: Zusi Gendreau, the former lava sanctuary; The second is: former Divine Craftsman Kaiku; And then there were: Zambramai, the former primordial substitute; Former Deputy Commander of the Divine Legion, John Milligan. The last to have him was the former Tartar Kalu Tinting. β
Bao Phong walked up to the speculative totem, his face was strangely red, but he was still smiling and finishing his job:
"Ladies and gentlemen, pay attention to the word 'former', which means that this 'bonus' is not a stolen object, but an ownerless thing. Its owners are all dead. But I'm sure everyone guessed it, it's the famous 'doom truth'. Aren't you tempted by such a legendary thing? Just take it! Become one of its former collectors. β
After hugging the pounce, he walked down the speculative totem. He was the first to step down the speculative totem on his own, but when he walked down, someone quickly wrapped him in a cloth, and the appearance of the flesh and skin quickly rotting affected the mood of the guests. People who work in the service industry just want to do more.
The bonus was left on the ground, and a total of 12 big men fell to show off the bonus. Their bodies were shriveled like a garment. Neatly stacked on both sides of the bonus, this neatness makes people feel cold from the bones......
The first to express their stance were the lawless Star Thieves, and they showed their determination with their actions. What is the ascetic? If you want to fight, you will fight, and you will go to death.
The punishment of death ended, and the ascetic's face was very unsightly. When the new handicap hangs out, it is also a gamble to live or die, as long as you stand on the field of "killing flowers", only one person can live.
The bells are still there, and the bonuses are there. There were five people on the field, two of whom were mortal, and the other three were in a group. So - who will ring this bell? (To be continued......)
PS: It's finally rushed out, hehe. I just received the news, and there will be a classification recommendation next week, and it seems that the editor saw that I was not dead, and began to pay attention again. If you have a monthly pass or something, you can cheer for it, anyway, they are a few old friends, and they will be pulled down without a monthly pass.
