Chapter 54: The Altar

"Beyond the falling granite, five miles to the west, it is the altar. At our speed, we can reach the bottom of the altar mountain in one day. Huang Xiaopan said.

"Ok, not very far. Bai Xin heard the location of the altar, nodded, and then asked Yan Lang, "How is it, how do you feel now?"

Yan Lang said with a look of surprise: "It's really strange, I feel much better than when I fought with the Six Priests, although my internal organs are still a little painful, but I can get up and move so quickly." ”

Bai Xin secretly said in his heart: Nonsense, fortunately, I secretly asked Xuanwu to help you treat it, otherwise you would still be lying down and unable to move!

Yan Lang said excitedly: "I didn't expect my recovery ability to be so strong! It seems that my skills have improved again!"

Bai Xin said perfuncitoryly: "Yes, yes, congratulations!"

Yan Lang didn't hear the sarcasm in Bai Xin's words, and was immersed in the excitement of a quick recovery.

Bai Xin turned his head to Huang Xiaopan and said, "You introduce the situation of the altar to us in detail, and we can see how to implement the plan." ”

————————————————————————————————————————

Located in the west of Luohuagang, Zhishan Mountain, although the name of Zhishan is beautiful and auspicious, but the mountain color does not match the name at all. There are no dense pines, cypresses, and bamboos in the whole mountain, and there are no clear streams and lakes, only black rocks and rugged walls. The black stone is rugged like the black ink inkstone forest, and the straight wall is like a green cliff and a monument. The hollow mountain moat seemed to hang down from the nine heavens, like a huge pillar of heaven hanging over. The spirit ape sighed and couldn't climb, and the white crane screamed and couldn't fly.

A two-foot-wide staircase, cascading and winding, plunges steeply into the sky along the mountain, connecting to the altar on the mountainside. The cliff on the mountainside of Zhishan is abrupt, as if a knife has cut out a vast platform, on which the six black Xuanshi Panlong pillars are located in an orderly manner, and the wide square is also paved with black Xuanshi square bricks. After the altar square, there are six gorgeous Zhulou pavilions. High wall enclosure, macro gate, fine column row, eaves stacked. The contrast between the elaborate mansion and the rough Montenegrin itinerary is out of place, and the six mansions are inhabited from right to left by the high priest and the six priests.

On the higher cliff behind the Liuzao Mansion, a white stone exquisite pagoda stands. Unlike ordinary towers, this white stone pagoda does not shrink from the bottom to the top, and goes straight up and down like a pillar. The four walls of the tower are covered with square windows, densely packed, and soaring. This is where the seventh sacrifice in Huang Xiaopan's mouth lives.

It was already noon, and the high priest was drinking alone in the courtyard, when a doorman bowed at his feet and said in a childish voice, "Tell the high priest, the five priests have returned." ”

The high priest put down the glass in his hand, raised his hand and said, "Oh. Call him in. ”

"Yes!" the doorman whispered back.

The five priests strode to the high priest's table, bowed down and said, "Big brother!"

The high priest motioned for him to sit down and speak, and the five priests sat on the stone pedestal opposite the high priest. The high priest asked, "Fifth brother, why did you come back by yourself?"

The five priests did not know that the other sacrifices had all died, and said, "Something happened on the way back, and they are dealing with the aftermath, and it is estimated that they will come back soon." ”

"Well, have you found the six-eyed turtle?"

The five priests shook their heads and said, "When we arrived at the service, we immediately searched the Hengjian Gang, but we found nothing. ”

The High Priest took a sip of wine and said, "The Six-Eyed Turtle itself is scarce in number, and it is also sensitive and alert, so it is not so easy to find it. ”

"Yes, but we've found something more precious than the six-eyed turtle. The five priests were a little embarrassed to hide their excitement, and hurriedly invited the high priest to make a contribution.

When the high priest heard the five priests say this, he immediately put down his wine glass and asked with interest, "What is it?"

A smile crossed the corner of the five priests' mouths, and they said softly, "The body of the sacrifice!"

When the high priest heard these four words, he trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and quickly got up and said, "Really?"

The five priests nodded silently. The high priest suddenly laughed and said, "This is countless times more precious than the six-eyed turtle!

The five priests promised to get up and walk with the high priest towards the altar. The high priest said, "What you said about what you encountered on the way back is this sacrificial body?"

"Yes!"

"What's the matter? Someone else is eyeing this sacrificial body as well?"

"No, just a few kids. They did not seem to know the preciousness of the sacrificial body, and they were not afraid. The brothers should have dealt with them all. ”

"Haha, that's great! God help me. ”

The five priests led the high priest to the middle of the square, and Lan Lan was still in a deep sleep. When the high priest saw Lan Lan from afar, he couldn't wait to run over, trembling and squatting beside Lan Lan, caressing Lan Lan's white hair and cheeks as if he were caressing a work of art, and couldn't help but sigh in a loud voice: "Sure enough, it's the body of a sacrifice! Look at this head of hair without variegation, and this fair skin, it's simply the best in the world! How did you find her?"

"We stumbled upon it in Wuzhen. ”

"Has she woken up?"

"Partially awakened, the pupils have turned red!"

"Hahaha, not bad, yes! With this sacrificial body, our seven sacrifices can even seize the position of the southern protector, why send people under the fence all day long?"

"Congratulations to the High Priest!" the five priests said with a flattering voice.

"Eh~ Why should our brothers be rude! If there is mine, there will be you!" The high priest said excitedly: "Hurry up and lock her up, don't let her escape! Wait until your brother and sixth brother come back, let's celebrate! I will treat you well!"

"Thank you, big brother!"

Lan Lan was imprisoned in the White Stone Linglong Pagoda, and the five priests returned to their mansions to rest for an afternoon, and when the sun finally went down, the stars in the sky cast a little light. The mountain of the altar is like a long arm stretched out towards the sky, silently touching the stars in the night.

The high priest invited the five priests to his room for dinner, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Why haven't your brothers come back yet?"

The five priests were also vaguely worried, but no matter how he thought about it, it would be impossible for the three of them to win a few sacrifices with a white heart: "Impossible, if they go slowly, it is normal for them to come back later." Those little ghosts are all triangular cat kung fu, and there will be nothing wrong. ”

"If you're sure. How's the sacrificial body going?"

"I went to the tower in the afternoon, and she was awake. Crying and fussing, in good condition. ”

"Well, that's the best. When the virtuous brothers and they return, we will begin to draw out the power of the sacrificial body, so that we will not have many dreams at night. ”

"Yes. ”

While the high priest and the five priests were eating and talking, the doorman came in again and knelt on the ground, saying, "High priest, the seventh priest has returned." ”

"Oh?" As Huang Xiaopan said, the seventh sacrifice has no status at all, after the fifth priest returned to the altar, she was not mentioned at all in the conversation with the high priest, and after the doorman reported at this moment, the high priest was a little surprised: "Fifth brother, you didn't use the seventh sacrifice?"

The five priests hurriedly said politely: "We didn't find the six-eyed turtle, we didn't use her." In the process of snatching the body of the sacrifice, this seventh priest also helped us, but I didn't take her with me when I left, why did I come back now?"

"It won't be that there is something inconvenient on the way, drag her back to pass the word. ”

"Possibly. The five priests nodded and said.

"Call her in. The high priest said to the doorman.

"Yes!" the doorman turned and walked out.

Soon he came in with Huang Xiaopan, who was ragged, scarred, panting, kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to the high priest and the five priests: "High priest, five sacrifices." ”

The high priest didn't remember the seventh sacrifice at all, so he asked the fifth priest, "Are you the turtle that led her to find it?"

The five priests looked at Huang Xiaopan carefully and said, "Yes, it's her." ”

"Why did you come back by yourself? Did some of the other priests have something you want to bring to me?"

Huang Xiaopan suddenly cried bitterly, knelt on the ground and said, "High Priest, hurry up and save the second and third sacrifices!"

Hearing the words of the seventh priest, the fifth priest quickly stood up and asked sharply, "What's the matter!"

Huang Xiaopan wiped the dried blood at the corner of his mouth, and said: "The five sacrifices didn't have time to take me away at that time, and trapped me and the boy in the birdcage, and the boy couldn't continue to chase you, so he beat me up in the birdcage, you see that I was beaten by him and was injured all over, and I was about to die." Huang Xiaopan lifted her clothes as she spoke, her arms and back were covered with bruises, purple and bruises, and the wounds were densely intertwined.

The five priests waved their hands and said impatiently: "Aren't you still alive? Why do you pretend to be pitiful here? Let me ask you what happened to the second and third sacrifices?"

Huang Xiaopan was also accustomed to this attitude of not being treated as a human being, took off his sleeves, and said slowly: "The second and third priests were caught by them, they didn't kill me, they just asked me to come back and spread the word, and asked you to take that girl to exchange with them." ”

"Presumptuous, dare to negotiate terms with our seven sacrifices!" the high priest slapped the table angrily and roared angrily.

"The high priest is angry, and this girl's words must not be believed. The five priests turned to Huang Xiaopan and said, "What you said is true? You must know that if you lie to us, your sister will not want to live!"

Huang Xiaopan hurriedly touched the ground with his forehead, and kept kowtowing and said, "The little one doesn't dare to lie to you, I don't believe you look at this!" Saying that, Huang Xiaopan untied a large package on his back, and the two pieces of gold cymbals fell to the ground with a "bang~".

As soon as the high priest and the five priests saw the two pieces of golden cymbals, they quickly got up and said, "These are the golden cymbals of the second and third children!

Huang Xiaopan cried and said, "The fourth and sixth sacrifices are dead! They grabbed the second and third sacrifices and told you to exchange them with the body of the sacrifice. ”
