Chapter 486: Ritual
Ming Hao estimated a little, they should have gone deep into the belly of the mountain.
The cave here was formed naturally, and then it was artificially repaired and became a place for the Suva religion, or the people of the night country.
In the deep cave, there is a circular mouth on the top of the head at this time, with a diameter of dozens of meters long, and the entrance of the cave is a very deep cliff.
Minghao guessed that because of the terrain movement, it should have been a volcanic crater or something tens of thousands of years ago.
It's just that the volcano has gone out and become an extinct volcano, and this place is gradually occupied by the people of the Night Ignorance Country.
No wonder this group of people hid in the deep mountains and old forests and were not discovered, not only because of the interference of the maze, but also because of the geographical advantage.
In the huge cave, there were people standing densely packed at this time.
At the outermost level are the villagers, uniformly dressed in white, each holding a candle in their hands and making strange prayer noises.
Mingmiao listened carefully, this should be an old saying, but the strange thing is that she always felt a sense of déjà vu, as if someone had called her like this at some time.
But this is impossible, these rituals are either sacrificing to the gods outside the sky, or summoning Luo Zhi, and he is not dead.
Minghao turned his gaze inward and cast it on the high altar.
The altar is a boxy platform made of bricks and stones, and the moonlight shines through the hole overhead, shining on the corner of the altar, which looks sacred and glorious.
But if you look up to the altar a little, you will find that the steps are densely packed with "people".
At first glance, there were hundreds of people.
They stood quietly in the darkness of different costumes and ages, breathless, and would not have noticed the existence of this group of people if they had not deliberately looked at them.
This scene is so weird that it seems to be ...... It was as if those people were already dead.
Minghao felt the warm touch of his palm and recognized it, Gu Xu was asking her if Liu Shuang's parents were among them.
She nodded.
These people are the people who were transported by Huang Laopi's fleet.
They were chosen here to perform some kind of strange and evil ritual.
At this moment, an old man with white hair walked up to the high platform and lit a few sticks of incense.
Those "people" who stood silently suddenly raised their heads in unison, greedily inhaling the smoke rising from the incense.
The smoke seemed to be conscious, burrowing into the mouths and noses of the group.
He Wangyao stood at the front, and always felt that the scene in front of him was indescribably creepy.
He thought for a moment and bumped into Li Wenhe: "Don't you think, this seems to be smoking in old photos. Crow. The scene of the film? ”
Thinking of this, he wanted to raise his hands to cover his mouth and nose, but they were all tied with their arms tied, and they couldn't do it at all.
These fumes are so eerie that they are definitely better than crows. The piece is even more terrifying!
These people have been deceived! It should have been the first time, and he should have stayed away!
But then again, after all, they are ordinary people, and they have something in their hearts, so they will be exploited by this group of wicked people.
That's why the people of the Sampa religion and the night country are especially hateful.
Li Wenhe didn't answer him, but looked coldly at the baby-faced young man on the altar.
Half an hour ago, after they separated from Mingmiao, he was still worried about whether those people were secretly going to do something to Mingmiao.
It soon became clear to him that it was themselves who he should be worried about.
I don't know what happened, but the guards who had left twenty or thirty of them aside at random suddenly became nervous.
Then he saw a baby-faced young man walk in.
"You're Wen Ho Lee?" The baby-faced youth swept through the crowd, his gaze falling on him.
Li Wenhe immediately restrained his mind and deliberately pretended to be wooden.
He didn't know what Mingmiao had done to them, but it was probably very confusing, so that this group of people had not been suspicious of them.
The guard hurriedly explained: "Yes, he is Li Wenhe. There is also this He Wangyao and Pei Di, they are both going to be bloodlet and sacrifice later. ”
The baby-faced youth smiled, "That's it." ”
At that moment, Li Wenhe felt a sharp and sharp danger.
The baby-faced young man suddenly took out a dagger and slashed it towards Li Wenhe's eyes!
Wen Ho almost thought it was just a temptation.
He quickly thought in his heart, why did the baby-faced young man use the word "you" in his first sentence? It's as if he's talking to himself.
- The other party knows that he is pretending!
Li Wenhe's reaction was very fast, and he quickly swept back at the same time as the magic sword was unsheathed, but the dagger was like a maggot attached to the bone, and he was in hot pursuit.
Finally he struck the dagger, but there was still a bloody cut on his cheek.
Beads of blood dripped out in an instant.
Babyface said regretfully: "It's a pity, I actually let you escape." ”
The guards were all stunned, and he said dryly: "The god has made an agreement between my lord and the eldest young master, and I will not do anything to this group of people before the ceremony begins......"
He was worried that this would not be good, but Madame had always kept her promise, and she was also trying her best to make the last stage of the eldest young master's life happy.
What if these people are injured, what should the eldest young master do if he gets angry?
Arthur suddenly turned his head and kicked the guard in the heart, directly kicking the guard to the point of spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Rubbish! Don't you see he's dodging? Hurry up and report to Madame, this group of people is not controlled at all, they are all pretending! ”
As soon as the words broke through everything, Li Wenhe thought that he would just fight.
It's just that before he started to use the knife, Arthur grabbed a person, and by coincidence, he actually grabbed Huang Laopi and stabbed Huang Laopi in the thigh.
The severe pain made Huang Laopi get out of the illusion under the puppet cloth and screamed.
At the same time, the people brought by Arthur had already quietly put the tip of the knife on the necks of those ordinary people in the program team.
Tang Zhen and Gu Xu quickly glanced at each other, and they could only choose to be caught.
——
Li Wenhe retracted his thoughts, and now he couldn't worry about whether Ming Hao was still safe.
He only knew that Mrs. Luo finally sent someone to arrest Ming Hao.
Then urgently gather everyone and bring everyone here to prepare for the launching ceremony.
Arthur had been staring at them like a poisonous snake.
Seeing Li Wenhe look over, he smiled proudly: "How is it, isn't it amazing?" The power of the gods outside the heavens is boundless, and now you kneel down and praise Him, and perhaps He will open the net and give you the incense of the gods, and lead you to become servants who can serve the gods and reach Elysium. ”
Li Wenhe: "Attracting divine incense? How do I look like a trick by evil spirits to eat away at other people's souls? ”
He Wangyao also followed: "Yes, what kind of gods need to devour other people's souls, so that rookies will wear the cloak of sacredness to do the business of stealing chickens and touching dogs." ”
Hmph, my boss said that any gods outside the sky are just ugly things pretending to be gods!
Arthur was suddenly furious, raised his hand and slapped Li Wenhe.
The unhealed wound on Li Wenhe's face cracked again, and blood beads poured out instantly.
