Chapter 198: Blood Sacrifice
Joan also lowered her head, followed the maid through the open palace, her eyes observed the surrounding environment, it was almost dusk, she wrote down the prescribed position and walked for about a stick of incense, the maid handed her into the hands of several semi-masked men, who led her to the deep hall, and saw Su and Jin in front of the long steps outside the hall.
Su Hejin was holding a gold bottle in her hand, Qiong Yi stopped in front of her, she first touched Qiong Yi's eyes with both hands, testing whether she was unconscious, Qiong Yi did not move, seeing this, Su Hejin relieved his heart, sprinkled the blood in the gold bottle on Qiong Yi's hands and feet, and said, "Follow me." ”
Qiong Yi followed her into the hall, and two guards also followed, Qiong Yi secretly said: This Su Hejin does not have a trace of true qi fluctuations, it is not a pseudo-cultivation with a strange breath, maybe she has not cultivated the root bone at all, so she is eager to use thaumaturgy to live forever.
If there were no guards to follow, Joan would definitely start hijacking, but the two men behind her were not low in cultivation, and she was definitely not an opponent. Qiong was not impulsive enough to take the initiative to expose and seek death, she didn't believe Yan Tingshen, but she had to admit that pretending to be a puppet to try to get out of the blood sacrifice seemed to be the only way to save her life at present.
Su Hejin took her through the secret door of the stone wall, and entered a secret passage, the place of blood sacrifice seemed to be in the deep underground, the more down, the stronger the smell of blood, Qiong also silently remembered how the mechanism was triggered, when led into the room at the end of the tunnel, the stone door made a "click" sound, and opened with tremors, which was more spacious than Qiong Yi imagined, there was a brick round high platform, outside the stage is a blood pool, the smell is very strong, the red light on the stage is shining, it is like a burst of law, scarlet blood from the heart of the formation, along the stone steps into the pool, Pulling the upper class along the formation technique, Su Hejin said to the guard: "Take her up." ”
"Yes." One of the guards grabbed one of Qiong Yi's arms and carried her in, the moment she first entered the magic circle, a vine-like unknown thing was born in the blood pool, and after smelling the blood, it quickly wrapped around Qiong Yi's hands and feet, and the guards hurriedly came out of the formation, for fear of being caught in it. Qiong also looked at the door, Su Hejin turned the stone inlay on the wall, and looked at the daughter of the elder brother who was lying quietly in the magic circle, with a smile on his face.
For her, this day has been too long to come.
As long as the blood array refines this puppet that does not know how to resist, it can use the flesh and blood of all souls to produce an immortal pill.
After that, she will live with the sky, immortal and immortal.
Thinking of this, Su Hejin couldn't stop laughing, and the more he laughed, the more he laughed, the laughter echoed between the stone rooms, and gradually drifted away with the heavy sound of the stone door closing.
Hearing them walk away, Qiong Yi immediately sat up, her hands and feet were very close to the blood vines, this strange thing did not look like vines, but like the cuttlefish tentacles she had seen on the East China Sea, showing a crimson color, sticking to her arms, legs and feet, sucking her own blood. Qiong also gasped slightly, the tendons and veins were crispy and numb, not uncomfortable, and even said that there was a bit of a strange sense of comfort, she dragged the four tentacles hard, how could she tear them off, looked up at this blood array, there were many runes flashing on the light curtain, she seemed to recognize, it was the ancient language of the Western Desert.
Qiong had also learned the Western Desert language many years ago, but she had not learned ancient Chinese, so she could hardly understand the talismans of this array. She walked to the border of the blood array, touched the barrier with her hand, and was bounced away with a "zi" sound, a little hot, and said in her heart: The formation is fire.
The body is warm, and it seems that the tentacles are sucking blood at the same time, and they are also paralyzing the things that enter the battle. Qiong Yi was groping along the edge of the magic circle, trying to disassemble the formation eye, suddenly a black shadow flashed behind her, and a bloody tentacle with a waist thick attacked from behind, like a giant python, Qiong also reacted quickly, pulled the blood whisker on her hand, and whipped it as a long whip, the two whiskers collided, and slowly slipped away, she secretly thought: Could it be that this blood array has devoured too many lives, and will regard the person who enters the formation as the prey and take the initiative to attack?
Qiong also can no longer smell the blood in the stone room, but a faint aroma, she held her forehead, the comfort between the limbs makes it difficult for people to have the idea of resisting, she knows that this is a trap similar to the gentle township, and saw the thick blood whiskers attacking, jumped up to dodge, while observing its way of action, while looking for the formation eye, who knew that wrapped around the limbs, the tentacles that had not reacted suddenly contracted, and she fell to the ground from the air, Qiong also held her hands to get up, and the tentacles on her hands were pulled again, and the thick blood whiskers immediately swam over, It wrapped around her like a python devouring her, wrapped in layers.
It is not suffocating, nor strangulation, not half uncomfortable, but very warm, an irresistible sense of comfort, like a mother's embrace, like a warm spring, and like a warm quilt in winter.
Joan also didn't understand why Yan Tingshen thought she could ruin this blood sacrifice and escape from the irresistible tenderness.
The tentacles made of flesh and blood frantically sucked her qi and blood, and then bewitched the prey little by little, Qiong Yi's strength became smaller and smaller, and between the almost unconscious, she seemed to see Sheng Xuan's resentment, he hugged herself as deeply as before, his embrace was warm and warm, and she didn't want to let go.
If only it were true......
If only everything could go back to before the calamity struck......
But Joan also knew that he wasn't here, and that she was just herself.
She tightly pinched the thick blood whiskers wrapped around her body, pulled her body out, and walked to the edge of the formation while breaking free, her limbs were limp and about to fall, Qiong also raised her head to identify the runes on the formation, although all the runes were ancient in the Western Desert, she stumbled and stumbled, and she didn't understand it, but the ideas of the formation were all the same, even if the array was well hidden, she could calculate it and break the formation and be saved.
The bloodwhiskers slowly climbed up, and the thoughts wandered in his mind, and he didn't know where he was for a while.
"Joan."
Sheng Xuan's voice came from behind him, he held his hand, and his eyebrows twitched slightly: "Why don't you ignore me?" ”
"I ......," Joan also looked back at him, and said, "I didn't ignore you...... Sheng Xuan, have you come out of Baiyu? Has the twin evils been sealed back? Why are you here......"
"I'll take you home." He said lightly: "Sister A Luo was also picked up, don't you want to go and see your little nephew?" ”
"Really?" Qiong also asked, "Ah Luo is okay?" ……”
"yes." He smiled and said, "Let's go home." ”
Qiong Yi's head stabbed slightly, she bit her tongue hard, blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, she was no longer able to get rid of the blood whiskers to swallow, she could only ignore the illusion and continue to read.
"Joan? Joan Yi! Zhu Yunluo called her: "It's good to see you, it's good that you're okay, I'm going to worry about dying......"
"Ah Luo......" Qiong also closed her eyes: "Ah Luo, are you okay?" Where are you? ”
"I'm right behind you." Zhu Yunluo stroked her long hair: "You look back at me, Qiong Yi." ”
Joan didn't dare to look back, she was afraid that it was fake, and she was afraid that it was not fake.
The blood whiskers wrapped around her neck, sucking inch by inch, Qiong also slowly slipped down along the edge of the magic circle, her body had no strength, her fingertips trembled slightly, she was obviously going to be sucked to death, but it was like lying in the clouds, so comfortable and comfortable, in a blur, the voice in her heart said slowly: If you die like this, you will be safe.
With the last breath before closing her eyes, she calculated the death door corresponding to this blood array, which was consistent with the eye of the array.
It's the people in the battle, and it's herself.
In other words, there is no solution.
Sheng Jun...... I can't go back......
Her eyelashes failed to close, her consciousness was lost, and her wrists slipped weakly from her body, but at this moment she seemed to be free from the shackles of her body and floated in the air.
All kinds of creatures, most of the souls, some old and some young, they stared at themselves with miserable faces, as if they had been coveting for a long time, and they had long taken a fancy to their own wisps of spirit, and Joan was also frightened to tremble, and returned to the soul, and the body trembled twice, but it returned to the light and had a breath.
She sat up tremblingly, knowing that she would not be able to last long before she would be completely refined by the blood array, and she also knew that it was because her cultivation was completely lost that she could not see the blood sacrifice souls gathered here.
When her soul leaves her body again, to the extent that her spirit attracts ghosts, she will definitely be eaten by these dead souls.
The flesh is refined, the spirit is sacrificed to the ghosts, is there really nothing left?
Tears fell from her eyes, she knew that she shouldn't be cowardly, but in today's desperate situation, what can she do, as a sword cultivator, she has no sword, no cultivation, nothing.
Qiong also touched the jade lily of the valley in her arms, and took it out with trembling hands, there was still a trace of spirit in it, a trace of Sheng Xuan's resentment sent to her, restraining the ghosts, and being nurtured by her for nine years.
Perhaps, she could take a gamble.
Anyway, it's all death, and there's nothing to fear. Joan also wiped her tears, and the information she interpreted was limited: the eye of this array was the last blood attraction in the world, it was herself, and it also corresponded to the door of death, and only when she died in the blood array, the blood sacrifice would be over. But if it hadn't been sucked by the blood array and died, would it still be able to devour itself normally?
She gambled that Su and Jin were sure that they were puppets who would not resist because of this loophole in the blood array; Bet that you can let these invisible souls kill you before you are drained of blood by the blood array; Bet that after your soul leaves your body, you still have a chance to come back and live.
Qiong also struggled with the restraint of the bloody tentacles, held the jade lily of the valley, and put it on her chest, she vaguely remembered that Yun Ya said that she was a person who attracted spirits, and she could cause ghosts to move, although there was no true qi, but this would not change.
"Want... My spirit......" Joan also stretched out her arm in the air and called her soul in human language: "Then... Come and get ......"
The cold air in the stone room suddenly increased, the yin wind gusted, she saw that the soul of the dead had become restless, and sang a song gently, light and clear, like a gossamer, it was the spell of the Fu Soul Sect that she had learned, she had no true qi to cast a spell, she could only use the most simple spell, and the song was like a chant under the nine shadows, not like the music of the world. The spirits were agitated, rushing towards her body, some destroying the blood sacrifice formation, and some trying to transform and separate her from the blood tentacles.
Hurt!
It hurts!
The already weak body seemed to be torn apart by thousands of hands, Qiong only felt that her soul was about to be torn apart, the silk peeled off, her body gradually stiffened, her open eyes were dilated, her consciousness was lost, and the jade lily of the valley on her chest gushed out a light white shimmer, enveloping her soul that was about to dissipate, not being eaten by ghosts, this spiritual aura was strong, making the souls of the dead fearful.
The physical breath in the blood array finally broke off, and the blood tentacles seemed to be a little dazed, and they rolled up the corpse and confirmed that it was dead, and gradually retreated from the body. The body was pale all over, not humanoid, and after the tentacles receded, the pool water in the outer circle of the blood array began to boil, and it did not achieve the purpose of refining the blood channel, the blood source was already dead, which was completely contrary to the rune sequence it set.
The blood array exploded, the runes on the formation flickered violently, making a crackling sound like fire, and began to shatter piece by piece, turning into nothingness, and the light of the magic circle gradually disappeared, and the blood in the blood pool gushed out, overflowing the entire stone room. Qiong Yi's spirit has been away from the body for too long, it is already very weak, it doesn't want to return to the body that is flooded with blood, it wants to leave with Sheng Xuan's resentful spirit.
Leave this cramped stone room, leave the desert, go to see him, go to find my sister.
Xu is Sheng Xuan's obsession when he separated his soul from his body was to protect her, it was wrapped in that weak soul, fell into her cold body, the soul returned to the body, Qiong Yi's pupils contracted violently, breathing poorly, coughing and rising from the blood water, her head hurt very much, it hurt as if it was about to crack, and she looked around in a mess, unbelievable: she really fought for her life and successfully ruined this blood sacrifice.
