Zhou County Lieutenant raised his hand to stop the team, and only took Diao Monkey and a few relatives to approach quietly, and Wu Nian, Li Bori, and Yunxiu followed closely behind.

When I walked to the exit of the stone staircase below, I suddenly opened up. Ri Yunxiu almost screamed, and Li Bo hurriedly covered her mouth.

Several fires were lit around the cave, the light and shadow swayed, and the space was the size of half a football field, and the cold wind was blowing from the dark depths.

In the middle is a huge statue more than ten meters high, which is made of a mixture of wood and stones, which is huge and towering, and is even more abrupt than the boulder just now. The top three bulbous monster heads, large in the middle and small on both sides, are arranged in a mountain-shaped shape, and you can't see the mouth, nose and ears, only countless eyes are dense, reflecting the firelight flickering, as if blinking.

This is the thousand-eyed totem? Li Bo felt goosebumps all rise, and when he looked sideways, the faint light of fire shone on the faces of other people, and they were all shocked.

Five or six white-robed people sat around the statue on the high platform below, four or five meters apart, and the back of their clothes was also printed with three thousand-headed monsters, their mouths squirming, as if they were chanting some incantation.

Thirty or forty blue-robed disciples lined up neatly to defend the four directions, and then behind them, there were many people sitting sparsely under the surrounding stone walls, men, women and children, ragged clothes, mixed colors, should be nearby villagers. The expressions were reverent, some chanted along with the white-robed wizards, and some knelt down to look up at the statue and prayed.

"Evil words confuse the public, the evil people should die!" Zhou County Lieutenant scolded lightly, beckoned everyone behind him to come over, and ordered to prepare for a surprise attack.

"Oh......"

A white-robed man suddenly shouted, startling everyone.

"Whoa...... Woowoo woo ......"

The other white-robed men sang along.

“...... Wow wow wow...... Well...... Lalala......"

Then came the blue-robed disciples, and finally all the villagers stood up, and the mountain shouted and shouted, like a chorus, and the voice was very charming, echoing between the stone walls, long and tactful, endlessly.

County Lieutenant Zhou stopped his actions, pointed to the direction of the white-robed man who spoke first, and asked Diao Monkey, "He is the Great Wizard?"

Diao Monkey nodded, "The Great Wizard has a high mana, and his status is second only to the Alliance Leader. ”

Ri Yunxiu looked at Wu Nian and said with a smile: "Sissy, this is very similar to your monk's chanting!"

Wu Nian shook his head and said, "The syllables are full of evil atmosphere, and we never chant the scriptures like this. ”

Li Bo suddenly felt very uncomfortable, his breathing was heavy, he was really manic, and the flow of qi and veins actually followed the other party's pitch, and his hands trembled unconsciously.

Ri Yunxiu noticed the change in him, took his hand, and asked uneasily, "Brother Tian Shu, are you okay?"

Li Bo hurriedly suppressed his thoughts, "It's okay, it's just that this voice reminds me of something not very good." ”

County Lieutenant Zhou also quickly felt it, turned around and ordered: "The voice is strange, and it is blocked in your ears." ”

Sure enough, after a while, all the villagers lost their minds and were confused, and their bodies involuntarily twisted and swayed to the rhythm of the spell, like taking drugs and dancing like the walking dead. This is not a modern entertainment venue with glittering lights, but an eerie and cold cavern underground, which is a particularly strange scene.

"Huh!"

After a few minutes, the Grand Wizard stopped drinking, all the voices stopped, and the villagers woke up like a dream, staggered and recovered, and returned to their original places one after another. There are also a few who are so confused that they continue to spin and twist until they regain consciousness after a minute or two.

"Is there any voluntary dedication to the beginning of the ceremony?" The great wizard turned his back to the crowd, unable to see his face clearly, and his voice was muffled and frustrated, thick and magnetic, judging from it, it should be a man of about forty years old.

There was silence all around, and no one answered.

"Huh, no one?" the Great Wizard continued to bewitch, "A hundred years of life, a spring of grass and trees. Flesh and blood, withered in the blink of an eye. Only by dedicating this short life to the Lord God can the soul attain eternal life. Don't you want eternal life? Are you still nostalgic for this unjust world?"

"I do. A thin, hunchbacked old man stepped forward.

"Very good!" the Grand Wizard smiled and nodded in approval, pointing his right hand in front of him, "Old man, sit across from me." ”

The old man staggered forward with a stick, and someone next to him wanted to help him, and the great wizard shouted: "Don't help! The path to the Lord God must be completed by oneself, just as when you were born to come into this world alone under the care of the Lord God." ”

The high platform where the Great Wizard was located was more than one meter high, and the old man failed several times before finally climbing up with difficulty, and sat four or five meters opposite the Great Wizard, with his back leaning against the Thousand-Eyed Statue.

"The old man has made the wisest decision of his life, and the Lord God will surely protect and bless him. The Grand Wizard turned his head to look at the audience, "What about you?"

Someone took the lead and immediately responded, and six more people came up to the stage and sat down under the statue, directly in front of a wizard. There should also be seven wizards, and only five can be seen at the exit of the secret passage, and two more are blocked by statues.

"Brother Tian Shu, what are they going to do?" Ri Yunxiu asked curiously.

Li Bo shook his head.

A servant said softly: "Boss Zhou, why don't you take advantage of their unpreparedness?"

"Don't be impatient! Look clearly, the thief can't run anyway. ”

The wizards began to chant the incantation again, this time in a voice that was too fast and low to be heard.

Li Bo paid attention to the old man, and after a while, he saw a light blue light and shadow rising from the Baihui acupoint above his head, like the smoke of a wild cooking stove rising higher and higher, and finally reached an eyeball above the statue, the eyeball suddenly flashed, and the smoke shadow was inhaled. The same is true of the other six people on the stage, only the light and shadow are different shades. This phenomenon lasted for more than ten seconds, and the light and shadow above the heads of several people gradually thinned, and finally disappeared, with a continuous bang, and the body fell crookedly, and there was no longer life.

What's going on?

Li Bo, Zhou County, and the others looked at each other.

With a wave of his hand, the archwizard walked out from behind the statue and carried the body of the fallen man away. When he was done, the Great Wizard said in a loud voice, "These seven people are amazing, they are all warriors. He gave up his fragile and ephemeral flesh and gained new life, eternal life. Now their souls are with the Lord God, and there is no more fear, no sorrow, only eternal joy. There was a lot of confidence in his voice, as if he was witnessing.

Ri Yunxiu asked quietly, "Are those people dead?"

Wu Nian recited "Amitabha" and said, "The blue smoke just now was the soul energy of several donors, and it was sucked away by the evil monsters hidden in the statue. ”

"Soul energy, monsters?" Zhou Xianwei was half-convinced, "Little mage is sure?"

Wu Nian's face did not change, and he nodded solemnly and said: "Lord Zhou, if you do it later, you may face the monster directly, please be mentally prepared." ”

At the same time as a few people were talking, the great wizard was summoning the second group of villagers to come to the stage, among which there was a thin figure, a five or six-year-old boy - Yuan Gou'er.
