Chapter 37: The Great Law of Heavenly Witch Reincarnation (4)
No matter how beautiful the dream is, there is always a moment to wake up. The grass slowly burned out, and the white-clothed disciples in the Taizu Hall regained their consciousness and fell to their knees reverently.
The two topless wizards, to be precise, should be the two high priests of the Heavenly Witch Sect, jumped and jumped and said a lot of strange language that Bai Xueyan didn't understand at all, and then ordered someone to bring three huge incense candles to light them and insert them into the incense burner placed in front of the statue of the goddess.
The incense candle burned slowly, emitting bursts of mist. The Taizu Hall was filled with a strong aroma of sandalwood. The old woman staggered to her feet, as if she had lost some of her footing.
She's really old, so old that all her teeth have fallen out. She slowly glanced at the sect members in the Taizu Palace, and suddenly turned the mechanism in the shape of a white lotus flower beside her. A piercing sound sounded, and the ground around the statue began to shrink and sink, revealing a huge pool of blood.
This pool of blood is dark red, and there is blood stained inside, exuding a strong fishy smell, and I don't know how many creatures have been sacrificed. The statue of the goddess and the incense burner stand on a platform in the center of the blood pool, which is indescribably strange and mysterious.
Sixteen sturdy teenagers carried a large number of animals with their limbs and mouths tied. The animals struggled desperately, as if they knew they were about to die. Livestock's sixth sense is extremely acute and can anticipate impending danger. Therefore, many experienced old hunters will put away their murderous aura and wait for the prey to relax their vigilance before killing them with one blow.
The old woman slowly lifted the white veil covering her eyes, and looked at these animals with an expressionless face, and a strange scene happened, these animals instantly became docile and calm, and no longer struggled, like a baby returning to its mother's arms.
Bai Xueyan looked at the old woman in surprise, not understanding what kind of demon trick this old woman had used. But the white veil that the old woman had covered her eyes quickly dropped again, so that he found nothing.
The rope was untied, and a large number of livestock no longer resisted, but slowly and orderly walked towards the pool of blood.
The sacrificial items are required to be clean from the inside out, otherwise it is disrespectful to the gods. Whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, or witchcraft, they are all surprisingly similar.
These animals have been repeatedly washed before they come, and they have stopped eating since three days ago, and the debris in their bodies is basically discharged.
Of course, there are many sacrifices that have only been caught for a short time, and this is easy to do, as long as you take special medicine to ensure that all the debris in the body is cleared.
There are a large number of sunken blood troughs around the blood pool, and the closer you get to the blood pool, the deeper the depression becomes. This allows fresh blood to flow within the blood trough and can flow quickly into the blood pool.
The two priests were armed with scimitars, chanting strange incantations in their mouths, and with a fierce slash slice the throats of the animals.
This scene was a little too bloody, so much so that Bai Xueyan was a little frightened. All things are equal, all things have spirituality, and he never thought that killing livestock was such a cruel thing.
The blood fell into the blood tank and quickly flowed to the pool of blood. The feast of killing has begun, and a large number of livestock is the protagonist of this feast. However, there were no groans and screams of pain in the Taizu Palace, only a disgusting smell of blood and corpses still twitching on the ground.
After the initial reluctance, Bai Xueyan gradually became numb. Perhaps the Earth Absolute Monk is right, the world is hell, whether it is people or livestock, they are all in this hell.
There was more and more blood in the blood pool, and it filled most of the pool. The faint smell of incense and candles mixed with the strong smell of blood gave people an indescribable sense of horror.
At this time, the carcasses of the livestock were already piled up, and their eyes were wide open, and tears were still hanging from the corners of their eyes, as if they did not understand why humans were so cruel.
Eight extremely sturdy men brought guillotines and cut off the heads of these animals, neatly placed them in wooden plates, and then two boys, holding the wooden plates high in the air, respectfully placed the wooden plates in front of the incense burner.
After the livestock sacrifice was completed, the statue of the goddess with three eyes and four hands suddenly bloomed with a strange blood. Traces of blood flowed from her. The third eye on her forehead opened strangely and slowly.
I don't know why, maybe it's a psychological effect, Bai Xueyan always feels that the third eye of this goddess is looking at him, which makes him a little frightened and a little speechless.
However, after the initial fear, he became a little expectant. He raised his head and looked at the idol fearlessly. He has killed many people, but he has never killed gods and monsters. The brave man is fearless, he may not have a brave heart, but he has the willpower to never admit defeat and a tenacious physique. He's looking forward to his first time.
Baskets of dark green, silt-like substance, crushed for some reason, were poured into pools of blood. The blood in the pool of blood instantly began to boil and tumble, and strings of bubbles bubbled.
A young girl dressed in white, with bare feet and eyes also covered with white veils, slowly walked to the edge of the blood pool and knelt down, accompanied by two white-clothed sect members. At the same time, the old woman, who was not known how many years old, also staggered to the girl's side and knelt down.
The two priests cut off the palms of the maiden and the old woman, and let them hold hands, and the blood was mixed, and then they danced like madmen, as if praying for something.
After dancing for a long time, the two priests regained their composure, and suddenly slashed the throats of the old woman and the girl at the same time, spilling a large amount of blood, and the old woman and the girl fell headlong into the pool of blood at the same time.
Bai Xueyan covered his mouth and almost screamed. Everything happened so fast that he was completely unprepared. He had heard from some of his subordinates that there were disasters and famines in some places, and it was necessary to sacrifice to heaven and earth.
Usually when the heavens and the earth are sacrificed, not only are animals slaughtered and sacrificed to the gods, but also a pair of virgins and a few blasphemous people are selected. But he had never heard of the need to kill an old woman as a sacrifice, could it be that the old woman had done something blasphemous?
The sacrifice continued, and the eight great wizards slowly stood up, came to the blood pool and knelt down, took the knife from the priest's hand, cut their palms in turn, and sprinkled their own blood into the blood pool.
After the Great Wizard finished the sacrifice, all the white-clothed cultists who were kneeling on the ground slowly stood up, lined up in an orderly manner, and cut their palms in a decent manner. In front of everyone's eyes, Bai Xueyan could only bite the bullet and cut his palm to pieces.
Blood slipped from his hands and fell into pools of blood. He shuddered suddenly, and felt as if something had been sucked out of his body. He looked angrily at the statue of the goddess in the center of the blood pool, the Heaven Swallowing Tower and the Heavenly Blood Jade Pendant in his body, and at the same time, a piece of blood bloomed, and he rushed out of Bai Xueyan's body and pounced on the statue.
The statue of the Three-Eyed Goddess trembled, and the blood on her body swayed. A crisp cracking sound sounded, and two imperceptible cracks crawled towards the face of the goddess statue. At the same time, the wound on Bai Xueyan's palm quickly squirmed and healed.
The two priests looked at the statue in confusion, as if sensing something. Bai Xueyan hurriedly lowered his head and walked to the side silently.
The sacrifice is not over, and according to the rules of the witch, the last scene of the sacrifice should be to disembowel, cut off the head, and sacrifice the first group with the blood of the enemy.
Who are the enemies of the witch? of course the people who overthrew the witch.
A group of people wearing monk's robes and robes were escorted up, their eyes were confused and empty, as if they had lost their minds, and Bai Xueyan's heart instantly rose to his throat.
He was faced with a choice, either to give up his plan to save Wang Tu and Fat Ya and save this group of people. Or watch these people die.
There are always countless choices in life, and every choice will be related to your future destiny.
If he is just an ordinary person who is not capable of saving people, that is understandable. But his magic power is profound, and he has the strength to fight even in the face of the earthly gods. If he does not save the livestock, because he himself eats meat, and he will also slaughter the livestock, then who will show mercy to him? If he does not save the innocent, it will test his conscience.
"Stop..."
Bai Xueyan's voice was not loud, but in the silent Taizu Palace, it was like a thunderclap. All eyes looked at him, surprised and frightened.
In the Heavenly Witch Sect, it is a serious crime to destroy the sacrifice, and you must be thrown into the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave and accept the pain of ten thousand snakes devouring your body.
"Evil demons, killing a group of people who have no ability to resist, what kind of skill is it. ”
Bai Xueyan is righteous and fearless. To his surprise, the blindfolded corpse of the girl in the blood pool suddenly had a convulsion, stood up strangely, crawled to the edge of the blood pool and shouted at Bai Xueyan: "Brother, save me..."
