Chapter VII
"All for the sake of life!
"All for the sake of life!
............
The ten elders formed a circle, knelt on one knee, clenched their fists with the five fingers of their right hands, pounded their chests vigorously, lowered their heads and shouted in a low voice.
It is an ancient ritual.
In fact, as early as the ancient century, this ritual was a sacrifice to the heavens. Whenever there is a war or an invasion between clans, the leader-level characters will release all the captives and gather them on the Battle King Stage. Then invite the ten most prestigious people with the largest number of votes to surround the battle king platform, kneel on the ground, and reverently chant the war warbler.
On the platform of the king of war, there were countless prisoners, and the platform was crowded. Each captive was required to wear a black cloth on his head and be blindfolded. It shows that the heavens have the intention to promote the progress of the world and eliminate the weak. However, Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and cannot bear to see his own people beheaded.
Therefore, the captives who performed this ceremony were all dressed in black cloth. This is also the leader of that century, the most tacit point, forming the unspoken rules of rituals.
Nine butcher executioners with big knives shot out from nine directions, one by one, and the blood danced. In the early stage of the entire ceremony, except for the whispers of the ten warblers, there was only the sound of bloody heads falling and rolling down.
As for why it is the nine executioners, this is also exquisite. Generally speaking, the leader is the most powerful of the clan, and it can be said that he has reached the realm of nine heavens and ten earths, and he is the only one. Therefore, the nine executioners and the ten warblers held a sacrifice to the heavens together, and the most important thing was to show the world and the exclusive status of the leader.
Later, this original ritual of sacrificing to the heavens was slowly improved by the world. Among them, the item of beheading all captives during the sacrifice to heaven was abolished. The reason is that it is too bloody, and the sky is dyed red, which violates the harmony of heaven and hurts the principles of heaven.
Moreover, some chieftains will choose to exchange large sums of money for the return of captives for the sake of their own good name. Over time, it was discovered among the leaders that this was also a great way to make money. So, in war, there are often many more people captured than killed. This has also led to a change in the world's money-hungry and money-loving world.
Although the world is originally a world of money, profit, and power!
Until now, the ritual of worshipping the heavens has evolved into a belief and an obsession. It is the heavens that are sought, but not the heavens. It is the earth that is sought, but not dependent on the earth. Rely on yourself, because this is also a world where strength is supreme and the law of the jungle is the strongest, and only the strong can take revenge.
After a long time, the ten elders stood up.
Elder Luo's face was still solemn and said, "Since no one is coming, then I'll come and pretend to introduce jade!"
"This time, in accordance with the order of the sect master, our ten elders will select people suitable for cultivating the remnants in the immortal cultivation realm to prepare for the revenge plan. As you know, the place to find a candidate was decided after a lot of research before departure. Those places are all remote mountainous areas, impoverished mortal places. Moreover, they are not within the jurisdiction of the Five Extremes Academy and the big forces, and in some places, there are no immortal cultivators even within a radius of a hundred miles. ”
"Originally, this search plan can be said to be nine out of ten, and it is completely possible to select people without any force discovering it. When we train the real Avengers, we will slowly infiltrate other organizations to sow discord and take revenge for assassination. If you launch a general attack, you can break them up in one fell swoop...... Am I right?"
The nine of them glanced at each other left and right, trying to know something from each other's eyes, but in exchange they shook their heads. Blind Li was the first to speak: "Yes, you are right, this is our original plan. But what are you trying to tell us after all this? Could it be that something has changed at some point in the plan?"
Elder Luo looked at Elder Gan, who shook his head and nodded in return. The meaning of shaking the head is that I am too lazy to say, and the meaning of the nodding is such a big thing, of course you come.
Elder Luo took a deep breath and said, "That's right, as everyone thought, the change ...... It happened, and this change was extraordinary, it would directly affect some of our subsequent plans, and completely disrupt our arrangements. ”
At this point, Elder Luo stopped and did not continue.
This can make everyone die in a hurry, and the person who is known for his sophistication and calmness among them, Elder Luo, who is known as the world has changed but his face has not changed, actually looks dignified and a little flustered in the face of this so-called change, it is conceivable that this crisis is this time.
Especially Lei Niangzi, who is more famous for her temper than strength, how can she bear it, in a hurry, she said loudly: "Okay, you are a cold-faced man, you actually lost the appetite of the old lady, don't you say it, the old lady ...... today." Today......"
It's been a long time now, and I don't know what to say later. In terms of strength, she was confident that she could be comparable to the rest of the elders present, but there was one person she didn't have the slightest confidence in defeating him, and that person was Elder Luo.
Elder Luo could be said to have lived the longest among the elders present, and no one knew how many years he had lived. The strength of the body has reached the point of unfathomable and returning to the basics, and among the ten elders, it can be said that it is an invincible existence.
Although everyone seems to speak casually, there is fear and awe in the background.
It is even more impossible to press people according to the situation. According to her Lei Niangzi, Elder Luo is the first elder to follow the master of the sect, in terms of qualifications, it is not much worse than the four protectors of the higher level, if it were not for the better development of the Floating Life Gate, Elder Luo could have become the fifth protector of the Floating Life Gate with only his strength and qualifications, where do they still have this kind of conversation between the same level.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about it! After all, this incident is also what I encountered, and relatively speaking, I should know the origin of this matter better than Lao Luo. When Elder Luo saw Elder Gan standing up, he didn't say anything, he didn't say anything, he took a step back, and handed over the stage to him.
Everyone was puzzled as to why they had something to do with Elder Gan again, so they turned their attention to Elder Gan.
"It starts from the time I came......
It turned out that when Elder Gan landed in a place called Bianzhou, it was relatively easy to start a horizontal and vertical carpet search and select talents in this place. But what he never expected was that as soon as he arrived, Elder Gan felt uneasy, and this uneasiness came from nowhere. Relying on his confidence in his own strength, he thought that there was nothing to hurt himself in this kind of ghost place in the wilderness, so he didn't care about it.
Good things don't go as planned, and bad things come one after another. As we all know, he belongs to the kind of burly and strong type, and advocates that strength is the source of strength, and the body is the best weapon. The kind of person selected must also be like him, burly, so that he can appear powerful. However, he didn't use his brain to think about it, they are all some remote wilderness, and it is difficult for people there to eat, and it is impossible for them to be luxurious enough to eat.
Therefore, after a month, the number of people selected can be said to be very few compared to the target. So he had no choice but to lower his requirements and look for those who were suitable for cultivation. That's it, another half a month passed, and it looked like the goal was about to be completed.
Changes...... Appeared!
He received a report from an informant that the Academy had discovered their tracks, and was now sending a large number of monks towards him, preparing to live him. This can be said to be an earth-shattering accident, you know, this informant is the one they have infiltrated for hundreds of years before they succeeded, a high-level of the academy who can't deceive him, and his words can also represent the academy to a certain extent.
After hastily selecting some people to make up the numbers, he flew towards the teleportation array.
After stepping into the teleportation array, he received a second report from the informant, on which a sentence was written: The academy has a Xuanhuang bell, which can spy on the floating qi and inform other major forces. When this news is sent, the academy must be suspicious of me, and I will not take any action in the near future, and I hope to tell Elder Luo that they should be careful......
"That's the general thing......"
Elder Luo said lightly: "Everyone knows what happened! ”
"Since this matter has been detected by the academy, it will inevitably increase manpower reconnaissance, and various major forces will also take action one after another, and our informants are afraid that the situation is not very good, in this case, they are easy to find out. If we really find out, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving the school a chance to know about our plans? "The person who spoke was called Mu Da Beauty by Li Blind, and her full name was Mu Shaoxue, of course, this was in the Floating Life Gate. Everyone knows that her name was Mu Shaoxue before she joined the floating life, and compared to it, she was less bloody and brutal, and more spiritual and soft.
Elder Luo nodded and said in a cold voice: "You can rest assured in this matter, as one of the main persons in charge of this revenge plan, of course, this unexpected situation will also be taken into account by me, so the informants who are sent out will not know about our plan." Of course, I don't tell anyone about the whole plan, and for some reason, even you only know your own plan, and that's just at the top. The people who have been sent out to inquire recently...... I only know a little bit of it, this kind of person is only a few fingers, and the rest are ...... I'm afraid I didn't even know there was such a plan. They will only do what we command, and how dare they ask for reasons?"
