Chapter 737: The Land of the Altar
"So, why did he keep you here? Where did the others go? ”
Song Siyuan knew that she had pulled everyone away in advance, but she was the only one left alone, and she definitely had a purpose behind it.
Pregnant Piro waved his hand helplessly, and said weakly: "Hahahaha, I am close to the east of the pregnancy, just to let me tell him the secret of getting out of the mortal world and entering the immortals, but although the old woman and I are the high priest of the Witch God Kingdom, but in the end I am still a mortal in the flesh, and I understand what the mirror world is, and the only reversal of the power of the witch god is nothing more than faintly hearing the hints from the mirror world outside the door, you say, what can I do?" ”
"When he saw that I really didn't say anything, he had to lock me up here first, as for the others, most of them were caught by him and taken to the altar of the witch god, and you gave him the fake tiger talisman, I don't know how much trouble it will cause?"
Yue Guanchao heard this explanation with his own ears, and the speculation in his heart had come true, these living people imprisoned in the prison were probably used as godly sacrifices by Pregnant Dongjin, in order to summon the ancient witch god, so that he could also get out of the mortal and become an immortal, no matter what the outcome is, at least in the early stage, the part of human sacrifice will definitely be in place.
"Then, isn't the peacock dangerous?"
Song Siyuan understands that since Pregnant Dongjin knows that the Pregnant Peacock has the bloodline of the witch god, in order to achieve his own goals, he will definitely use this point, if he is sacrificed to the witch god, then it will be too dangerous.
"Is there anything I can do to stop him from doing this?"
Pregnant Piro shook his head, obviously there was nothing he could do: "If you don't give him the fake tiger talisman, maybe it won't be able to create evil results, now, the tiger talisman is already in his hands, I don't know what he wants to do, even if my divination is fake, at least the power of the tiger talisman is real, the positive and negative tiger talismans gather, who knows what will happen?" ”
As they spoke, there was another movement in the backyard, Yue Guanchao and they hurriedly returned to normal, away from the high priest's cell, and after the chains were swaying, the guards walked to Ren Peacock's side and muttered to the people around her, she was immediately controlled by these guards.
"What are you going to do?"
Lan Ruling picked up the whip, not wanting the martial guards to take Ren Peacock away, these martial guards obviously didn't take him seriously, and said in a fierce tone: "What does this have to do with you, we are ordered by the lord of the country to take the young lord to the altar, you stay honest with me, and then dare to talk nonsense, the lord of the country has become the first god to kill you." ”
After speaking, regardless of everyone's opposition, escorted Ren Peacock out.
Seeing that his companion was escorted away, the rest of the people were all so anxious that they couldn't sit still anymore, and Lan Ruling paced up and down the stairs and corridors impatiently.
"What if the peacock is really killed by him?"
"What if, what did he eat the peacock's brain?"
"Or did he split the peacock's body and sacrifice it to the witch god?"
These speculations, put on a crazy demon like Pregnant Dongjin, it is really possible to come true, Lan Ruling is more worried than anyone else when he thinks of these points.
Song Siyuan thought about it and comforted: "Lan Ruling, since the divination said that the peacock is leading the Witch God Kingdom to rejuvenation, this means that Pregnant Dongjin will not dare to kill her easily, otherwise he will offend the Witch God, how can he get out of the world and become an immortal?" I suspect that she went to the altar in modern times to wake up something, and as long as we save it in time, she shouldn't have a problem. ”
"Now, we must first find a way to get out, and at the same time, we must also know where the real altar of the witch god is, otherwise we will not be able to save him no matter how great our ability is." 、
Song Siyuan said this, everyone basically understood the current situation, carefully observed the surrounding cells, when the fort was renovated, they had already considered the escape of the detainees, and it was extremely strong, even if the railing was tightened with a strip of cloth, it was difficult to shake the railing for half a minute, and the railing could not be removed.
Yue Guanchao looked out of the fort through the railing, and the other guards were probably all transferred to the altar by Yu Dongjin, only the railing guards were guarding the door, each cautiously observing everything around them, if they really wanted to escape, they would definitely have to exert themselves on them.
Just as everyone was trying to deal with the two guards, the sound of walking suddenly sounded in the distance of the courtyard, and the two guards only glanced at the darkness, and fell to the ground with a muffled snort.
After a while, Lao Mo cautiously ran over from the darkness, looked at Yue Guanchao and said: "It's too evil, it's too evil, Pregnant Dongjin took that girl and was escorted into a pavilion by the martial guards, it seems that they went to the altar, and those martial guards all controlled the two corpses, I don't know what they were for." ”
"I'll let you out now, if you can't stop the pregnancy, my old man can't do anything."
After speaking, Lao Mo groped around with Wu Wei and took out the cell key from inside, but most of these keys were the same, and the chain heads were almost the same, but he didn't know which one to use.
"Lao Mo, it's too slow to try one by one, I'll give you this copper spoon, and you use this thing to open the lock."
Yue Erpao took out a long ear scoop and handed it to Lao Mo, asking Lao Mo to go back and forth in the keyhole according to his mantra.
With a click, the lock opened, and several people went to the cell on the other side, releasing all the guards who had come with them, and only then prepared to leave after picking up their confiscated weapons.
"Slow?"
"Didn't you always want to know where the altar was? I can tell you now, old woman. ”
He stretched out his arm and rubbed it a few times on the wooden hairpin behind his head, and when he got it in his hand, he immediately broke it into two sections in the middle and took out a piece of oiled paper from it.
"This is the secret passage to enter the altar, when the pregnant family built the secret passage, there was a righteous path, and there was also a secret passage, if you take the secret passage, you can probably enter the altar without knowing it, and it may be safer along the way."
After speaking, he handed the oil paper to Yue Guanchao, he took the oil paper and carefully observed, the location of the altar was indeed not in the Ox Head Temple, and he still had to continue to go down in order to walk below the altar of the witch god, and the location of the secret passage was the underground moat that they had crossed.
"Now, where has she gone?"
Yue Guanchao desperately wanted to know how long he had been going, so that he could estimate how long he had walked.
"I count...... I remember that I dared to run out after they left, and it was half an hour now. ”
Yue Guanchao looked down at his pocket watch, carefully calculated the time, and nodded to everyone: "According to the direction given on this oil paper map, the location of the altar is in the north of the Niushou Temple, probably deeper underground, and many of these people are holding things, it is estimated that the foot journey will not be fast, but it is definitely possible to walk halfway, if we go from the dark passage, we will have to increase the foot, and we will have to walk to the altar after him." ”
"Let's go!"
As soon as Yue Guanchao's voice fell, he looked carefully at the vicinity, the martial guard here had already foamed at the mouth, probably poisoned by Lao Mo, he looked back at Pregnant Piluo: "Mother-in-law, after we are all gone, we may not be able to come back, what should you do?" ”
"I'm so old, how many more years can I live? Go away, I have a way to live. ”
Yue Guanchao looked around, this old lady can live for so long, most of them are eating the rats and cockroaches here, if this kind of life continues, sooner or later, the rats and cockroaches will eat clean, and when the time comes, her hands and feet will be locked and she can't get out, so she can only be starved to death.
"Mother-in-law, I don't know if I can come back this time, there is a high probability that you are the only one left here, I will open your shackles and chains, if you want to escape, escape out of the swamp, there are guards standing guard."
With that, he picked up the machete and struck the chains, which had fallen into disrepair and had long since cracked, and after being struck by the blades, they were no longer solid, and they completely broke apart, and were shattered to the ground by the back of the blade.
Subsequently, several people took the military guards from the cloud temple to the front of the moat, and the pregnant Piluo was imprisoned for twenty or thirty years, and his feet had lost the ability to walk, Yue Guanchao had to allocate two people and run to the exit with the pregnant Pira, leaving only seven or eight military guards to protect him.
When he had done all this, he followed the oiled paper of Kapira to find the railing where the mechanism was hidden, and as the beast's head was twisted by him, the stone wall of the moat was concave inward, and a black grotto appeared, with countless masonry and stone arranged in a concave and convex manner, forming a staircase that continued to extend downward.
Yue Guanchao looked at the flashlight and walked down the stairs, this cave was even higher than him, standing in it above his head was still empty and redundant, the whirring wind sounded in his ears all the time, which meant that there must be gas exchanging at the end, he took a deep breath, beckoned everyone to turn on the flashlight, and disappeared into the dark cave.
Ding Dong, Ding Dong, there are often river drips to the ground in the cave, and the cold groundwater falls on the neck, which must make people's hair stand on end, and they are eager to rescue the pregnant peacock, and the pace is obviously accelerated.
After walking for about half an hour, the surrounding caves changed from regular to rugged and winding, and most of these caves were naturally generated, which also meant that they had reached the end of the artificial secret passage.
Yue Guanchao listened carefully to the movements in the rugged cave, and his ears were no longer whirring winds, and a terrifying wail began to appear, like a ghost crying and whimpering, and he could get into his ears wherever he went.
Everyone had to stop, and he turned around and said, "According to the distance, we have probably reached the end of the dark passage, and this place may be close to the altar of the witch god, everyone be careful." ”
After finishing speaking, everyone extinguished the flashlight, and hurried forward with this faint light, and when the torch light appeared again in front of them, Yue Guanchao told them to stop in place, and poked their heads into the direction of the bright light with Xu Xiake.
The underground cave in front of them is indeed the altar of the witch god, this cave is wide and wide, and the surrounding area is empty, it can be seen that there are countless stalactites and dogs on the stone wall, like stalagmites and stone horns stretching upward, completely filling the caves around the altar, and the position they are standing on is just in the south of the altar, which is hidden by countless stalagmites in the stone wall, extremely hidden.
Yue Guanchao carefully observed through the candle flame, and the north of the altar was the real altar.
There are four layers up and down this altar, about 20 meters above the ground, the bottom layer is a square rectangular blue brick abutment, and then up, the three-storey pavilion increases layer by layer from top to bottom, and is built into a circular altar, you can see the carving of the twelve gods in relief, and there are mountain spirits, flowers and trees totems carved altars, and the candles are shining when they are reflected.
On the pedestal, I saw the highest place where the jade steps of Tongtian were connected, and there were countless bronze ghost trees hung with gold, silver, jewelry, and five-colored silk, blowing and swaying in the cold wind.
Some people died, but not completely......
