Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Temple of Sacrifice
Two days later, in the early morning, Hachi packed his luggage and walked out of the inn, and Hongqiang was already waiting at the door. Seeing Xiaoba come out, Hongqiang took the initiative to come up: "Starling, where are we going?"
"I don't know..." Hachi looked into the distance and looked a little confused, but then he was stunned, "Let's go with me too?"
Red Rose grinned, "yes, you won't be embarrassed to let me go on the road alone." It's not safe for me to go out as a girl, and besides, I have food and drink with you, and I don't have to spend my own money, how good. ”
Xiao Hachi hurriedly said: "But it's not safe to follow me... Besides, I'm going to find my sister, who knows what I'll encounter along the way. ”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, how exciting it is. Let's go!" said Hongqiang, snatching Hachi's package and walking forward. shook his head helplessly in the back, and Hachi had no choice but to follow her.
As soon as the two of them walked to the city gate, Hachi suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and instinctively threw himself to the side, and threw Hongqiang to the ground. At this moment, a sword light swept past the two of them, just cutting off a tree in front of Hachi and Red Qiang.
"Who is it!?" Xiaoba shouted and got up from the ground with a turnover, and looked along the position where the sword was flying, only to see Yu Yu holding his pale golden long sword and walking towards the two step by step. Yu Yu walked very slowly, but if he didn't take a step, it was like stepping on Xiao Ba's heart, and the depressed Xiao Hachi couldn't resist it at all.
"What are you going to do?" Hachi barely used his body to block the red Qiang beside him, and at the same time, the Thousand Fish Knife also appeared in his hand, in case Yu Yu would suddenly attack, and he didn't have time to deal with it. At this time, he didn't understand why Yu Yu suddenly came to find trouble for him, could it be that he went back on his word, afraid that he would leak Xiaoyuan's affairs? Although he didn't know the reason, he had to be ready to deal with Yu Yu's attack again.
Yu Yu didn't answer Xiao Ba's question, the murderous aura locked on the two, and when Yu Yu walked in front of them, he said coldly: "I believe you wrong, hand over Xiaoyuan, otherwise you will die." ”
Xiao Ba was stunned and asked, "Xiao Yuan?"
"Don't pretend to be confused, where is Xiao Yuan?" Yu Yu's cold voice said again.
"We really don't know!" Red Rose hurriedly explained.
Yu Yu heard Hongqiang say the same, frowned and asked suspiciously, "It's really not you?"
"Of course not, if it were us, we would have run away a long time ago, would we still be hanging here so slowly and leisurely?" Seeing that Yu Yu had already been moved by what he said, Hongqiang hurriedly added.
Hachi also asked, "What's wrong with Xiaoyuan?" ”
Yu Yu pondered for a while and said: "Early this morning, when I went to Xiaoyuan's room to see how he recovered, I found that he was not in the house, and I searched around for a long time and saw no trace of him..."
"So you're going to say it's our business?" Red Rose shouted.
"Hmm... Don't you have a criminal record..."At this time, Yu Yu was already a little embarrassed.
"That's us? Haven't you ever done anything bad, so you did all the things in the world?" Seeing that he had taken the initiative, Hongqiang immediately said unrelentingly.
"Uh..." was said by Hongqiang, and Yu Yu didn't know how to answer for a while. Still Xiaoba couldn't look at it and came to relieve Yu Yu: "Hongqiang, okay, Uncle Yu is also worried about Xiaoyuan, let's help look around first." After finishing speaking, the three of them agreed that if they didn't find an hour, they would return to meet again, so they went separately to find Xiaoyuan.
......
The sacrificial temple of Feiyang City occupies a five-mile radius in the center of Feiyang City, and the whole temple is trapezoidal, surrounded by water on all sides, and there is only one road that leads to the sacrificial temple. The entire temple resembles a giant battle fortress, with thick stone blocks and pillars everywhere you look. At the top of the temple was a circular altar nearly a mile in diameter, and as for the interior of the temple, no one knew what it was like except for the high priest and a few people. Because in such a huge building, except for the two guards who remained at the door, only the high priest and his eight apprentices lived inside.
Outside the sacrificial shrine
The guards of the two temples were chatting at the entrance of the temple leaning against the pillars of the main entrance. Because few people come to the temple on weekdays, the high priest has rarely gone out since the incident of the vampire monster more than ten years ago, and including the eight apprentices accepted by the high priest later, they have also lived in it for a long time and rarely come out, if it weren't for the fact that they would go home to take a look at it during the New Year's holidays, I'm afraid the families of these apprentices would have been found a long time ago. The only person who came in and out the most was the innkeeper who came once a week to bring food to the High Priest and his eight apprentices. So the guards who are guarding here actually have a very easy job, as long as they stay for a fixed four hours, they can go back. And it doesn't matter if you're standing upright or upside down, no one will see it anyway, and even if you do, no one will offend them.
But just today, a teenager walked at the door of the temple.
A guard guarding the door of the temple inadvertently looked up and saw a person standing not far away, he was also startled, and immediately shouted, "Who is it?"
"Uncle Zhang, it's me. Xiao Yuan raised his head, his face was a little pale, but he still had the smile that he usually wore on his face.
"Xiaoyuan?" said the guard, "why are you here?"
"The boss said that the high priest had sent him some ingredients, but he had caught a cold today. Although the high priest is annoying to be free from us, the boss said that he was sick, and he brought a god of turbidity, which was a blasphemy to the gods after all. That's why I was asked to deliver it. As he spoke, he gestured to the basket in his hand.
"The High Priest let me, but we haven't heard of it. Another guard said with a frown.
"No, the high priest told the boss yesterday, the boss doesn't dare to play tricks on me in the name of the high priest. Xiao Yuan said with a smile.
"Well, that's... But we really haven't heard of it. The guard then spoke.
"yes... Maybe it's inconvenient to say, there are some things that we people don't know conveniently... And I won't tell you, I don't even know what the boss gave me?" said that, under the curious eyes of the two guards, Xiao Yuan lifted the corner of the vegetable basket, revealing a square brocade box inside, and a small lock was attached to the brocade box. After the two guards finished reading, Xiao Yuan winked at them, signaling a meaning that everyone knew.
The guard who was called Uncle Zhang by Xiaoyuan hurriedly said: "Lao Liu, this is our Feiyang City Guard, Captain Yu's nephew, don't worry." Let's not worry about it, it's better for us to be less involved in these adults' affairs. ”
Hearing his own brother say this, Lao Liu was relieved after thinking about it, and he changed a lot about Xiaoyuan: "That little brother, I've worked hard for you, go and go back quickly." ”
"Well, I see, I'll send it in and out, and I won't cause you any trouble. Seeing that the other party agreed, Xiao Yuan also gladly thanked the two guards, and walked in with the fruit basket.
When Xiao Yuan walked into the altar of the temple, he took a deep breath, his originally sunny smile disappeared without a trace, and all that appeared on his face was endless resentment, anger, and a little bit of nervousness and longing...
The inside of the temple was far less glamorous than the outside, and the inside was very dim, and all that provided people with a view was the fluorescent stones that glowed green in the walls at short distances. Every dozen meters in the passage, a room will appear on both sides, but a thick layer of soil has fallen on the handle of the door of the room, and it is obvious that no one has entered it for a long time. This also puzzled Xiao Yuanda. There are so many rooms in the temple, so it must be that in the past, the sacrificial temple of Feiyang must have been a prosperous and prosperous scene, but why did it become like this? And even if something happened in the middle, the later high priests were fully equipped to redevelop the sacrificial temple, but the high priests of later generations lived in seclusion, so that the feeling left by the sacrificial temple was only mysterious. The more he thought about it, the more Xiao Yuan felt that things were very strange, but he knew that he couldn't care about it so much, and the only thing he wanted to do now was to find the altar and complete the purpose of his trip - to find his mother.
Xiao Yuan, who entered the golden altar, was trying his best to control the sound of every step he took, and at the same time listened to whether there was movement in the distance. In this way, he didn't know how far he had gone, and finally his eyes lit up, this is a hall of nearly 1,000 square meters. The hall was brightly lit, and it was no longer as dim as it had been in the previous passage. There was a closed door on the left and right sides of the hall, and in the middle was a table with a large basket full of plates and bowls. Obviously, the innkeeper should have delivered the food here every time, and as for the appearance inside, the innkeeper probably hasn't seen anything like it. Apart from this table, the only thing in the whole hall is the huge hanging painting on the wall in the center, which even occupies the entire wall. But this painting made Xiao Yuan's heart tremble, and the painting depicted a man with a long sword, fighting with a woman dressed in red, who had blood-red eyes and two fangs showing from her mouth.
"She's the same as me," Xiao Yuan thought to himself, but he didn't stop too much on looking at the painting. He walked to the door on the left side of the hall and gently pulled it down, but it didn't open it, and the door seemed to be locked from the inside. Helplessly, Xiao Yuan could only turn around and prepare to take a look at the door, but the moment he turned around, the door behind him suddenly opened, it was a pitch-black space, and a hand quickly reached out from it and grabbed his collar. With Xiao Yuan's exclamation, Xiao Yuan was pulled into the dark space, and the door was tightly closed again...
