Chapter 30: The Temple of the Sacrifice to the Gods
Looking at the endless vast blue sea in front of him, Lu Qing looked at each other and said, "Go back." ”
looked at the sea that made her extremely kind, and then looked at Lu Qing, and asked with some grievance and hope, "Will you come back?" ”
Lu Qing smiled when he heard this: "Of course! I'll come back to see you when that's done. ”
Wang nodded vigorously and said, "I'll wait for you." ”
"Okay." Lu Qing also nodded.
Then, Wang took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the magnificent ocean, stepping on the layers of waves and disappearing into Lu Qing's field of vision.
After seeing Wang leave, Lu Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, and now he could finally do it without any worries.
.............................................
Dongying Imperial City
Temple of Sacrifice
It is called a temple, but it exudes a demonic aura, and the dark and cold temple is not a god statue, but a terrible monster stone statue: the bloody and somewhat rotten body has eight snake heads, the red eyes are like lanterns in the hands of the soul seducer, and the eight sinuous tails are like writhing poisonous snakes, which look disgusting and weird.
Under the stone statue, more than a dozen onmyoji were gathered around a strange altar, if Lu Qing was here at this moment, he would be able to find that these people were the group of onmyoji who had entered the Huguo Temple after coming out of the imperial city at that time.
"His Majesty the Emperor has agreed, contact Yaki Okami immediately." An onmyoji shrouded in black robes commanded the others.
"Yes." The rest of the Onmyoji bowed down and said yes.
"Mr. Suzuki, is it ...... to do this" One of the onmyoji seemed to hesitate a little and couldn't help but speak.
"Takahashi, are you questioning the decision of His Majesty the Emperor and Yaki Okami?!" Onmyoji, known as Mr. Suzuki, suddenly asked.
The Emperor is the emperor of the world, and the Yaki Okami is the master of the demons, and no one can disobey their decisions!
"No, it's not!"
Takahashi Mitsuki immediately denied that he had never questioned the idea of the emperor and Yagi Kami, but if he did.....
"But isn't it too cruel to do that!" Miki Takahashi struggled inwardly, but finally spoke up.
Hearing this, Suzuki Harusui slapped Takahashi Mitsuki in the face and shouted: "For the great cause of the Imperial Kingdom and the grand plan of the Great Japanese Empire, anyone can be sacrificed!" ”
"But that's 100,000 people!" Miki Takahashi said in a sad voice: "It's the people of the 100,000 Great Japanese Empire!"
They don't know anything, so let them die like that!
Isn't our army winning one after another?
Why do you want to do such a thing?! ”
"Takahashi!" Suzuki Harusui interrupted Mitsuki Takahashi with a burst of applause, and then stared into his eyes and said word by word, "Remember your identity!" You are not qualified to question! There is only the obligation to obey! ”
"But I can't accept it!" Miki Takahashi clenched his hands and shouted with all his strength.
Not only him, but the rest of the Onmyoji didn't say it, but they also couldn't understand and accept this cruel truth in their hearts.
"Yaga!" Suzuki Harusui was completely furious, kicked Takahashi Mitsuki to the ground with a hard kick, and scolded sharply: "You are not qualified to say such things!" Accept it or die! ”
"And you!" Harusui Suzuki looked around and said to them, "You are the same! Obey or die! Do you understand?! ”
"Hey!" The rest bowed in obedience.
"Good!" Suzuki Harusui nodded with satisfaction, looked at Miki Takahashi who had collapsed to the ground, and asked, "What about you?" What do you choose? ”
Takahashi Miki endured the burning pain in his abdomen, and after struggling in his heart, he bowed his head and said, "I am willing to obey." ”
"Well, it's your choice, keep that in mind from now on!" Suzuki Harusui said in a solemn voice: "If you dare to question the decision of the emperor and the god Yaki in the future, you will be executed!" ”
"Yes!" Everyone was respectful and did not dare to say more.
"Contact Yagi Okami now!"
Seeing that everyone didn't dare to object, Suzuki Harusui immediately ordered.
When the rest of the people received the order, they immediately set about activating the altar.
The great god Yaki is cultivating, and it is only through the altar that you can communicate with him.
After a while, a cold whisper came from the originally dead temple, like a poisonous snake in the dark night spitting out letters, and a dazzling dark red blood suddenly erupted from the cold and dim altar, like an endless sea of blood breaking through the barrier of hell and pouring into the sun.
"What?"
A low, mysterious voice suddenly appeared in the temple.
When all the onmyoji heard this, they immediately bowed their heads and shouted in unison, "Welcome to my god!" ”
"My God, His Majesty the Emperor has agreed to your will and is willing to cooperate with you!"
Harusui Suzuki, who was kneeling on the ground, replied respectfully.
"In that case, let's get started!
I await the day when I will dominate the world! ”
After the mysterious voice said this, it fell silent, and the original dazzling blood on the altar dimmed again, and the eerie whisper also disappeared, and the temple fell into an eerie silence again.
But those respectful onmyoji waited until the voice disappeared and a stick of incense slowly stood up.
"You have all heard the will of the Yaki God, so let's act immediately!" Suzuki Harusui said to everyone: "This matter is related to the fate of the imperial country, and there is absolutely no room for negligence!" ”
"Hey!" The rest nodded yes in unison.
Even Mitsuki Takahashi, who was still a little resistant before, did not hesitate for a moment after hearing the will of the great god Yagi, as if that will had been carved into his bones.
"Mr. Suzuki, where should you choose to build the altar?" Someone asked.
Yaki Okami asked for 100,000 blood food, and although His Majesty the Emperor agreed, it was not yet decided which place to choose.
"His Majesty the Emperor has decided that the altars will be built in Hiroshima, Kokura and Nagasaki." Suzuki Harusui said in a low voice: "This matter must not be leaked to the outside world, otherwise you will be responsible for a thousand cuts!" ”
"Understood!" The rest replied immediately.
None of them are stupid, this matter involves the life and death of 100,000 people, once it is leaked out, I am afraid it will cause an uproar, and the people who are not in a good uproar will rise up, and they are only afraid of ......
"Let's go down!"
Suzuki Harusui saw that everyone knew that it was powerful, and he didn't emphasize anything too much, and waved his hand back from everyone.
After receiving the order, everyone withdrew from the temple one after another and went down to carry out the will of the great god Yaki and the emperor.
When everyone dispersed, Suzuki Harusui let out a long sigh.
He is not an emotionless cold-blooded machine, and he is equally saddened by the death of 100,000 people who are about to die quietly, but for the sake of the fortune of the imperial kingdom, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed!
Others did not know the situation of the war, but he, as the minister closest to the emperor, knew very well that the frontal battlefield seemed to be in a state of parity, and even the Japanese army won victories in local battlefields from time to time, but from a strategic point of view, the possibility of the Japanese army winning was very slim.
Because China is so big, whether it is population, resources, or strategic depth, it is enough to drag down a small Japan, and the Japanese army has absolutely no chance of winning a protracted war.
Although there had been an agreement between the Axis powers, it was impossible for the German forces on the Western Front to bypass the vast Soviet Union and form a joint force with the Japanese.
As for saying that Germany first occupied the Soviet Union and then joined forces with Japan to encircle East Asia, that is even more nonsense.
Not to mention that the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact, even if the German army really ignored the treaty and blitzed the Soviet Union, it would definitely not be able to bargain.
As a neighbor and old rival of Tsarist Russia, no one knows the Soviet Union's heritage better than Japan.
Thinking of this, Suzuki Harusui sighed heavily, put away these messy thoughts, and turned to leave the shrine.
