Chapter 75: Cruel Blood Sacrifice
Qin Tian and I quietly approached this mysterious organization with torches, and from a distance, we saw a large group of people gathered in a square, there was a building similar to an altar in the middle, and there were long stairs on all sides, the stairs were very long, and there was a copper tripod at each of the four corners above the altar, and a raging fire was burning inside, and an old man in a black robe stood in the middle of the altar, wearing a wide hat on his head.
Under the altar, there were people in black robes, and a rough estimate estimated that there were no less than 10,000 people. I pulled the hat down from my black robe, covering half of my face so as not to reveal my identity. Qin Tian had already hidden the Desert Eagle in his wide sleeves, and I walked over with blood in one hand and a torch in the other.
"You two, why has it been so long, go up quickly, the high priest is waiting. A guard in black soft armor armed with an iron pestle said. I walked quickly to the steps, the stairs are very steep, divided into three sections, each section has three hundred and thirty-three floors, and there is a wide platform at the end of each section of the stairs, nine hundred and ninety-nine floors, the real uncle is too high, and he can't use his true qi, otherwise he may expose his identity, there is no way, he can only rely on his physical strength to climb up.
I said to Qin Tian: "Wait a minute, I'll rush over and hug the old man, you can give him a shot immediately, be careful not to kill him." "Capture the thief and capture the king first, everyone understands this truth, this old man is likely to be the high priest in their mouths, as long as this old man is subdued, it is possible to save people, but there is only one chance, once the old man can not be subdued and his identity is exposed, I don't think that the two of us can deal with tens of thousands of soldiers. Qin Tian also seems to realize the seriousness of the matter, and what is showing in front of me now is the Qin Tian I met at the beginning, and many times, he is more suitable for taking on great responsibilities than me. We walked to the altar step by step with our heads down, and finally, after nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, we stepped on the wide altar, the altar was very large, a thousand square meters, in the middle of the altar, there was a table, above the table was a thick wooden stake, supported by pillars on both sides, and an iron hook hung in the middle of the stake, which looked like the hook used by the butcher to hang pork, I walked up to the old man and handed the stone bowl full of blood to the old man, and I was about to hold the old man, when the old man spoke.
I really didn't understand what I said, the people under the altar fell to the ground one after another, Qin Tian and I didn't know what to do for a while, so we could only stand next to the old man in a daze, but fortunately the old man didn't pay attention to us. As I was hesitating to do it now, there was a sound of footsteps in one of the corners of the altar, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw that two men in black were carrying a woman towards us, the woman was tied up and down like a twisted flower, and her mouth was stuffed with rags, and two men in black carried the woman to the table and put her down.
The high priest made a gesture, and the two of them untied the woman's head and feet and hung them on the hook, and the sharp hook pierced the woman's back, and the woman's terrible screams came, it turned out that the woman was still alive, these beasts, I clenched my fist with a click. Blood flowed down the woman's long hair into the basin on the table, and the woman struggled for a while before she moved, and now the basin had received a small half of the blood, and the high priest poured the blood I had brought into the basin, and with a wave of his hand, the two men in black took the woman's body off the hook and retreated.
Immediately afterwards, two more men in black carried a woman to the stage, but this woman was not unconscious, she was still struggling, the woman was stuffed with rags in her mouth, and she could only make a whining scream, the woman's clothes were in tatters, and the blood on her shoulders had coagulated, revealing most of her body, presumably these women were caught by them from outside, I don't know how devastated Lu Dao was, these women with a hard life, I can't let this kind of thing happen under my nose, just when the woman was about to be hung on the hook, I moved slightly, intending to stop the man in black, Qin Tian seemed to see my thoughts, and quietly pulled the corner of my clothes, signaling me not to move。
Only then did I suppress the anger in my heart, and waited for the best time to subdue this dead old man with one move. The woman's eyes were full of fear, her voice was sharp to hoarse, no matter how she struggled, she could never ask for the fate of being hooked, I shifted my eyes from the woman, the unspeakable discomfort in my heart, I could have saved, but I just couldn't make a move, this taste was indescribably uncomfortable, I don't know how many innocent lives they had to kill.
The woman stopped struggling, and the two men in black carried the woman's body down, and I was about to make a move, when the high priest turned around, and then I saw his true face, it turned out that he was not an old man, but he had a bit of a back on his back, his eyes radiated a chilling glow, there was a long scar on his face, and the corners of his mouth kept smiling all the time, which looked like an evil feeling. The high priest said in a hoarse voice, "Bring the coffin here." "Looking along the high priest's finger, behind the altar, there is a bluestone coffin, the structure of this coffin seems to have been seen somewhere, I remember, isn't this the kind of coffin I saw in the Black Dragon Pond, have they been to the Black Dragon Pond.
Qin Tian and I walked to the side of the coffin and lifted our heads with great difficulty, for fear of revealing our identities, we didn't dare to use internal force, the coffin was carried to the table, the high priest asked us to open the coffin, the coffin lid was very heavy, and Qin Tian and I took a lot of effort to open it.
I thought that there would be a zombie lying in the coffin, but I never expected that it was Xu Qinghuan who was lying in the coffin, my hand shook, the coffin lid fell to the ground, the high priest who was closing his eyes and reciting the incantation opened his eyes, and tens of thousands of people in the audience raised their heads to stare at me, maybe in their opinion, I turned around and threw a punch "****!" The fist hit the high priest in the face, and before he could recover his strength, I quickly grabbed his neck from behind, and at the same time the revolver appeared in his right hand, without hesitation, a shot pierced his shoulder.
The sudden change made the people in the audience confused, and everyone didn't understand what was going on, Qin Tian aimed the Desert Eagle at the head of the high priest and said loudly to the audience: "All kneel, or I will kill him." Everyone in the audience knelt down one after another, Qin Tian shot the high priest's left leg, and put Xu Qinghuan on his back, and I held the high priest hostage and walked down the stage. Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, in the case of our use of true qi, in less than a minute has come to an end, the high priest seems to have little ability, I really doubt how this thing made tens of thousands of people submit to his feet, and it is indeed superstition that kills people.
As I passed by the crowd, I saw the female general from last time, and the burly man, and when I walked out of the crowd, I yelled, "Don't come with me, or I'll kill him." "The burly man wanted to rush up, but was blocked by the female general's hand, Qin Tian and I ran a few steps and looked back, fortunately they didn't follow, just when I was glad that this time it went so well, the burly man suddenly appeared beside me, I was caught off guard, and the burly man snatched the revolver in his hand.
