Chapter 56: The Holy Maiden
Just as Lin Feng and Kang Er were chatting with the stall owner, a group of teams wearing armor suddenly appeared in the distance on the street. In the middle www.biquge.info of the team, there was a burly middle-aged man riding a cheetah, majestic. Not far behind the middle-aged man, followed by a luxuriously decorated carriage. In the carriage, there was a young girl in white.
"Boss, who are these?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"This is our northern city lord, and the ghost city is divided into four inner cities: east, west, north and south. They are controlled by the East City Lord, the West City Lord, the South City Lord, and the North City Lord. The boss said.
"And who is the girl in white in the back?" Kang'er asked.
"That's right, Lord Wise is the master of our Hidden City, and all the people of Hidden City believe in him. Every year, a holy woman with ice and jade will be selected and presented to the wise man. The selection of the Holy Maiden was selected from the four inner cities in turn, and this year it happened to be our turn in the North City, so our North City Lord chose this Holy Maiden. According to custom, before the consecration of the Holy Maiden, the city lord took the Holy Maiden to all the streets of the Ghost City for everyone to pay their respects. The boss said.
At this time, the armored team happened to come to the front, and as the armored team advanced, everyone on both sides of the street consciously knelt down and worshipped. When the team came to Lin Feng's location, the stall owner also knelt down and bowed very respectfully. Lin Feng and Kang Er naturally followed the customs of the locals, kneeling down with everyone.
When the carriage of the saintess passed by Lin Feng, Lin Feng secretly glanced at it. The saint in front of her has skin like clotted fat, red lips and white teeth, and is a beautiful girl who looks very quiet. However, Lin Feng also found that this holy woman did not have a happy expression on her face when she followed the carriage procession and accepted everyone's worship. Some just stared blankly, like a stone statue.
"This saint doesn't seem to be very happy," Lin Feng whispered.
"How do you know that people are unhappy, you just met people for the first time, is it that you men look so carefully when they meet beautiful women," Kang'er joked.
"Hehe, bosom friend, for beautiful women, I have always seen the essence through phenomena," Lin Feng put on a rogue smile while deliberately staring at Kang'er's pair of plump Ru rooms, and said with a smile.
Seeing this, Kang Er immediately covered her chest and glared at Lin Feng fiercely.
As soon as the armoured procession had passed, everyone stood up, and the street was bustling again.
"Boss, why does the chosen girl look lifeless?Isn't it bad to be a saint?" Lin Feng asked.
"Little brother, you don't know anything. The holy maiden who entered the Wise Lady will never come out again since she entered the Dark Tower. Alas," said the stall owner helplessly.
"What, in that case, then why choose saints, why send them to the tower, and no one will resist. Lin Feng said with some indignation.
"Little brother, at first glance, you are a newcomer, and the reason why our ghost city can exist safely is because of the blessing of the wise man. In the vicinity of our ghost city, it is said that there are ghosts that eat people, and people often disappeared for no reason in the past, but the next day they found out that they were all crazy, and they kept shouting "ghosts" in their mouths. This hasn't happened since the Wise Man," said the stall owner.
Hearing this, Lin Feng and Kang Er both changed color slightly.
"Could it be that this wise man can hunt ghosts," Lin Feng asked.
"I don't know about this, the wise man has existed for thousands of years, and these things are still passed down from ancestors. In short, the wise man is a god-like existence in the hearts of everyone in the ghost city," the stall owner smiled.
"Have you seen the wise man, then?" asked Kang'er.
"I've never seen it, and if I want to see the Wise Man, I can only enter the Hidden Tower," said the stall owner.
Bidding farewell to the stall owner, Lin Feng and Kang Er walked around other places in the city, and then went back to the inn to rest. After this inquiry, Lin Feng and Kang'er inquired that tomorrow would be the day to sacrifice the Holy Maiden, and Lin Feng and Kang'er decided to go tomorrow to see the situation, maybe they would be able to see the wise man.
Early the next morning, Lin Feng and Kang'er went out. On this day, the ghost city is very lively.
Lin Feng and Kang Er followed the flow of people to the square in the center of the ghost city, and at this time, a sea of people had already gathered there.
Lin Feng and Kang Er saw from a distance that there were four teams standing in front of the square, each wearing different colors of armor. At the front of the four teams stood four middle-aged people, none other than the four city lords.
"These four city lords are all second-stage powerhouses in the late stage of the physical training period," Kang Er said after taking a closer look.
"The dedication ceremony should start soon," Lin Feng said after taking a look. At this time, in the center of the square, there was a high platform, and on the high platform, there was a girl in white, who was a saint. At this time, this holy woman stood on a high place, her white clothes fluttering in the wind, like a fairy.
Next to the white-clothed saintess stood a man wearing a ghost mask and wearing a strange costume, dancing around the saint with his hands in his hands, and muttering words in his mouth, it was the witch who had entered the ceremony.
"What is that witch talking about?" Lin Feng felt weird, looked at Kang'er and asked.
"I don't know, anyway, it's for ghosts, I guess it's nonsense," Kang'er said.
"It seems to be a ghost," Lin Feng said with a smile.
Just as Lin Feng and Kang'er were chatting, a burst of magnificent memorial music suddenly sounded at the ceremony, and the crowd immediately knelt down and worshipped. Lin Feng and Kang Er also immediately bowed down with everyone. The music played for a while, then faded away. Immediately, the nine-story secluded tower in the middle suddenly emitted a burst of light, enveloping the tower body.
"Long live the wise man, long live the wise man..." everyone in the square cheered.
"Could it be that the wise man is going to appear," Lin Feng thought to himself in his heart.
Suddenly, the light that enveloped the tower shook and a pillar of light shot out from the top of the tower, which hit the high platform where the saint was located, forming an oblique plane.
"Uluru..." The witch wearing the ghost head mask suddenly let out a strange roar. The witch roared and circled around the holy woman. After a while, the witch suddenly raised her hands upwards and let out a long howl from her mouth. For a moment, the whole square could hear only the strange screams of witches. Just as the witch screamed, the saint suddenly stepped forward, stepping onto the flat pillar of light that shot diagonally onto the high platform. When the saint stepped on it, she stood still. However, the light shield was very strange, and it carried the saint to move slowly and automatically towards the top of the tower.
"Long live the Holy Maiden, long live the Holy Maiden..."
In the crowd, Lin Feng and Kang Er watched all this quietly, and they were even more curious about this wise man in their hearts.
Just as everyone was kneeling and bowing, in the curiosity of Lin Feng and Kang'er, in the smooth progress of this dedication ceremony, something happened suddenly. The holy woman, who had been standing quietly and not moving, suddenly jumped down when she slowly moved into the air. This change came too suddenly, and everyone suddenly let out a cry of horror, that is, they saw a white dress fluttering in the wind, and the saint fell to the ground with a "boom", and fell into meat sauce, which was miserable. A beauty, no matter how beautiful she looked before she was born, once she fell into meat sauce, she was not beautiful, but very terrifying.
"Ah," Kang'er exclaimed, immediately covering her eyes, not daring to look.
"She must not want to stay in the secluded tower for the rest of her life, like going to prison, so she chose to commit suicide," Lin Feng said.
The saint died, and at the time of the ceremony, this change was too sudden. There was chaos in the square immediately, and the four city lords were also very surprised, and immediately sent troops to maintain order on the scene.
At this moment, the light of the tower suddenly shook and made a buzzing sound. The originally chaotic square immediately fell silent, and everyone immediately knelt down and bowed their heads in fear.
"Four city lords, what's going on?" suddenly came an old voice from inside the dark tower.
"The villain deserves to die, and please forgive the wise man," the four city lords immediately bowed down in fear and said.
