Chapter 22: Endless Nightmares
Altar! The moment these two words jumped into his mind, Cen Ge's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he temporarily sealed Xie Lanyan in the snow lake with a spiritual enchantment, and immediately turned his steps and strode towards the altar at the rear.
After only a few hours, the originally clear night sky suddenly became hazy, the bright moon was hidden behind the clouds, and the air was full of the special fishy sweetness of the blood curse, so that a few necromancers kept in the main altar for guarding hovered at high speed in the sky like crazy, and he couldn't care about this kind of thing, he swept to the back mountain cemetery like the wind and electricity, and stepped in, and there was a strange ice cracking sound under his feet, and reason made him stop, and his eyes looked around solemnly.
Dozens of black crows appeared in the silent cemetery at some point, and they were not illusions, but real creatures of flesh and blood, some of which landed on tombstones, some of which flew in the air.
Cen Ge held his breath and stared, his fingers were also hooking spells to try to get closer, and the insect control technique ...... As the shallowest entry spell among the four forbidden techniques, the actual power of insect control is very different in the hands of different cultivators, and the crow no longer belongs to the "worm", can this person actually control birds and beasts?
There was a contemptuous laugh in his ears, strange and playful: "Just now I deliberately went to the Lotus Altar to take a look at the blood butterfly, so the slight color change can be seen by you, the great priest is really careful, I think I have made a lot of achievements in the spells of the White Sect, and I really underestimate you." β
Cen Ge controlled the spiritual silk thread in his hand to wrap around a crow's ankle, and finally noticed a pale inky silhouette looming at the other end of the cemetery.
Through the crow's mouth, the man's voice sounded ethereal from all directions, a kind of disdainful ridicule: "The most hated place in the whole Baijiao is this Houshan cemetery, to say that no matter the identity and bloodline, you can be buried here after death, it is simply absurd and ridiculous!" Some people were taken to practice forbidden arts by the high-ranking sect masters and great priests when they were alive, and after they died, they were even ashamed to treat them equally, do you say that the victims buried here will turn into ghosts and come out to take revenge on those in power who sleep next to each other? Haha, Anning...... With such a big hatred, even if you die, you can't be buried together peacefully, right? β
"Your Excellency was also a member of the White Sect before?" Cen Ge immediately heard the clue from this sentence, and a dangerous speculation came out irrepressibly - if human beings are divided into classes according to the gate valve, Baijiao is to distinguish the noble and the low according to bloodline, from a certain point of view, the essence of Baijiao is no different from the royal family in the imperial capital, they are all coveted to the outside, making a false appearance of mercy and salvation, and there is a bloody struggle for power inside, and they will kill each other in order to improve their strength.
When ordinary humans are no longer able to satisfy the frenzied rulers, they set their sights on the alien races with rarer bloodlines, and the White Sect can easily deceive those who have faith to the main altar, and then turn them into tools of cultivation.
How much of this is really to fight against the approaching army? It's just to satisfy one's own selfishness.
After the theft of Shenyue, the White Sect was implicated by the King of Garan and suffered the most severe crusade in history, fortunately, the enchantment left by the King of Garan played a role, and after his disappearance, he also tried his best to help the White Sect tide over the difficulties, but even so, the sect is also a big injury, since he took power, internal and external troubles have continued, this kind of thing that will shake people's hearts has naturally been forced, in the past ten years, even the great elders in the sect do not know that the White Sect has used its own people to practice forbidden arts, this person is not the former sect leader or commander?
No, it can't be!
Since the establishment of the White Sect, there have only been more than 100 sect masters and great priests, and the life deeds of these people will be recorded in detail in the internal history book "Liuhe Lu", and now he is still alive in the world He knows it, and there is no stranger who broke in in front of him!
Wait a minute...... Cen Ge's heart seemed to pause for a moment, remembering something else.
There is a person who was indeed not included in the "Liuhe Lu", because he was a traitor, he not only let the sect leader and the great priest kill each other, but even stole the most important forbidden technique "Soul Splitting Dafa", he revealed the terrain of the main altar and the distribution of disciples to the imperial capital, which made the already precarious White Sect even worse, and he used the blood curse to destroy everyone's consciousness before leaving, so that everything about him is still a mystery to this day! There are no clues about age, gender, name, or even ancestry.
"Hehe......" The Great Commander of the Dark Department let out a sneer in a low voice, and with a movement of his hand, the crow's feathers fell like black snow, "The White Sect back then was much more lively than it is now, what is that sect leader's name...... Nan Lian, by the way, her name is Nan Lian, because she has 'lotus' in her name, and she makes the lotus shrine of Qianji Palace bloom red, so she has always been pretentious and feels that she is the chosen one, and the two great priests under her, one is called 'Yi Chen' and the other is called 'Bi Rui', both of which are sunny and pure good names, but what kind of people are they? β
Cen Ge didn't reply, although he knew the names of these three people, but this history had long been deliberately erased, and he had no way of knowing what happened back then.
Separated by a distance of more than ten meters, he vaguely felt that under the other party's blurred face, only the eyes slowly became clear, becoming decadent and desperate: "Although the Bai Sect has four forbidden techniques, few people can master them all, most of them concentrate on cultivating one of them, and then use the other three to assist, that year's twenty-two-year-old Nanlian Sect Master can only skillfully cast the "Blood Curse", she has always been arrogant, she does not feel that there is something wrong with herself, but she throws the crime that cannot go to the next level to the innocent person who was killed, She felt that these primordial bodies were too fragile to limit her abilities, neither to bear the burden of the Blood Curse, nor to allow her to perfectly perform the Great Law of Soul Splitting, so she began to hunt down aliens whose bloodlines were even rarer. β
The crow let out a sensational sorrowful roar, making the other party's voice even more desolate and terrifying: "And the two great priests focused on cultivating the "Bone Mantra", and those aliens who were deceived by the Nanlian Sect Master into killing the main altar were taken by these two people to continue cultivating the "Bone Mantra" after she failed, and over time, the strength of the three became stronger and stronger, and there was a faint posture to fight against the court, plus there were several great elders in the sect at that time who were also highly cultivated, and a nest of people fought openly and secretly, and from time to time there would be uncontrolled necromancers who accidentally injured the disciples, But where do they care, faith is the best lie, let them cloak themselves as gods and do the devil's thing. β
Cen Ge's eyes were always staring at each other, there should be a powerful spell barrier between them, looking at a short distance of only a few steps, but he knew that he couldn't get close at all, so he simply took the initiative to answer: "The Nanlian Sect Master was only twenty-seven years old when he died, what happened in the past five years?" β
He clearly saw that person smiled, and there was unconcealed pleasure in his voice: "When the leader of the Nanlian Sect was twenty-three years old, I was ordered to go to the White Sect, she saw me from the Snow Lake Festival at a glance, she should have been very excited at that time, she asked people to take me back to the Qianji Palace, that was the first time I saw the legendary Lotus Shrine, she was wearing a red lotus feather weaving and sat on it, the fire in the center of the stamen was flickering slightly, for a moment, she really let me have a kind of seeing' The delusion of the gods even made my body, which had been transformed by drugs for many years, ignite some deep soul instincts of aliens for the first time in a long time. β
"My mind uncontrollably saw the brilliant flames that guarded the flying wall and fell into the sea safely when it fell into the sky, and after I reacted, I found myself kneeling at her feet, she hooked my cheek with her fingers, and gave me the 'Red Lotus Mark' that symbolized the White Sect, at that moment I was shaken, I was in the Thousand Machines Palace, this is the Divine Cult of the Aliens, maybe here can let me break free from decades of torture and give me a new life."
The Grand Commander paused for a long time, and said words that made Cen Ge unexpected, and his tone was also fluctuating for a moment, but in the next second, he looked up to the sky and laughed, completely ignoring the fact that there was still an enemy standing in front of him, and said viciously: "Soon I knew that I was wrong, the Nanlian Sect Master immediately regarded me as a test subject for cultivating forbidden arts after pretending to shout at me, it turned out that there was a small secret room hidden under her room, she could still suck spiritual power with a blood spell even when she was sleeping, I felt the horror of forbidden art for the first time, Seeing her own blood oozing out of her skin uncontrollably like a small snake, and then meandering into her mouth and nose, my bloodline is one of the strongest three spirits in Higaku, far above her, she enjoys it so much, moaning disgustingly all night, curling up on the ground like a drug-addicted greedily sucking my blood. β
Cen Ge's heart was pounding, and he knew that the secret room of the Southern Lotus Sect Master had not been discovered until the time of King Garan, and every brick there was stained red with blood, and it had been like a day for decades with a strong smell of blood.
"But I can't resist her, because I came by order, and if the mission fails, even if I escape from the White Sect alive, I will be purged by Governor Gao when I return." The Grand Commander didn't notice the shock that flashed on his face, and suddenly regained his composure, "Actually, my body was used as a test subject by humans long before her, and I have experienced hundreds of drug destruction, do you say this is lucky or unlucky?" I survived in the hands of the Nanlian Sect Master, she was very happy, hehe, as long as the person is alive, the blood will slowly recover, and she is reluctant to kill me for five years, but uses the blood curse again and again to drain my blood and suck the spiritual power. β
"And I have also consciously or unintentionally provoked their relationship in the past five years, after all, in addition to the ambitious sect master, the two great priests are also salivating for me, but unfortunately their abilities are not as good as the sect master, and they can't use me to cultivate the bone spell while I am alive, so under my constant bewitchment, they are finally determined to take the initiative against the sect." The Grand Commander smiled again, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but it made Cen Ge's back tingle, and said meaningfully, "When the Southern Lotus Sect Master was twenty-seven years old, the two Great Priests joined forces in the Prayer Dance of the Snow Lake Festival, and finally killed the Sect Leader who was caught off guard in the Snow Lake. β
Cen Ge was silent, he could hear his more and more violent heartbeat, "Liuhe Lu" recorded that the Snow Lake Festival that year did not see the spiritual fire to light the three lamps for a long time, and waited until the next night before the great elder violated the rules to enter the apse to find the sect leader and the two great priests, but at that time the three of them were all in a tragic state and could not bear to look at it directly, in order to prevent panic, several great elders could only hide it first, and afterwards claimed that the three of them died accidentally due to practice, and a few simple words brought all the doubts away, And the devout cultists were only saddened by the disgrace of the three powerful guardians in this way, and did not suspect any more.
After that, there was a gap of three years, and "Liuhelu" was deliberately torn apart, and everyone at that time suddenly lost their minds, and the most critical figure of the initiator had no clue.
The Grand Commander raised his eyebrows and laughed, and finally told the truth: "The biggest advantage of this country is that it makes the best use of things when it is alive, and it is not confined to the cycle of cause and effect after death, since the sect leader and the great priest died unexpectedly, the most important thing at the moment is of course to choose the right person to take over the White Sect as soon as possible, although I have been tortured by the Nanlian Sect Master for five years, but on the bright side she treats me very well, thanks to her I have already gained a firm foothold in the sect, I thought that with the blood of one of my three spirits, I will be able to make the Lotus Divine Seat bloom for me, Unfortunately, it backfired, and I had to settle for the next best thing and become the great commander of the sect. β
"The Great Priest!" Cen Ge's tone trembled faintly, this guy really served as the chief secretary of the White Sect!
"My sect leader is also a little girl who doesn't know anything like Feiying, that lotus god seat is really strange, obviously my bloodline is stronger, but it chose a little girl, hehe." The Grand Commander muttered to himself, ignoring the other party's surprise, "Fortunately, I don't care much about the throne of the sect leader, anyway, the real power is in my hands, the sect leader is just a beautiful puppet doll, the only regret is that I can't open the Snow Lake Festival in person, so I can't call Feng Ji in person." β
"Lord Feng Ji......" Cen Ge sneered, a little disdainful, "How could Lord Feng Ji respond to the traitor's cry?" β
"Haha, did she answer the cries of the believers?" The Grand Commander immediately mocked back, looking at the speechless Cen Ge Yin and Yang Strange Qi, "For three whole years, I have hoped that she can appear, only her pure blazing flame can help me kill the puppet insects planted in my body, only she can save me!" But for three whole years, I didn't just call her at the Snow Lake Festival, I went to the lake in the apse every day and every night, hoping to get even a little response from her to put an end to this endless nightmare, butβshe didn't! She finally crushed my last hope, and after three years, I had mastered the Four Gates Forbidden Technique, figured out the terrain of the main altar and the distribution of disciples, and it was time for me to go back to my life. β
Recalling those desperate pasts, the Grand Commander frowned and showed a look of disgust: "I could have taken all four forbidden spells with me, but it was so coincidental that the sect leader who had never been interested in spells happened to take the remaining three, leaving only the most difficult to understand, and almost no one in the past hundred years could learn the "Soul Splitting Dafa", which may be the reason why the Lotus Divine Throne chose her in the dark, right?" β
He paused for a moment, and sighed as if he had a feeling: "After I killed the spirit beast guarding the secret room, I have already alarmed others, if I continue to delay, I am likely to be dragged into a bitter battle, anyway, my task has been completed, there is no need to really do my best for Governor Gao, so I didn't go back to find the three books, I evacuated the main altar that night, and controlled the blood curse necromancer that I had personally raised over the years to attack everyone, although just three years of cultivation was not enough to kill more than 5,000 disciples in the Thousand Machines Palace, But it's enough to make them dementia, speechless, and forget that I exist. β
Cen Ge fell silent again, looked up at the crows hovering in the sky, his hoarse voice pierced his heart, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Do you remember the name of that sect leader?" β
"Huh?" The Grand Commander tilted his cheeks in confusion and replied without thinking, "I forgot about it a long time ago." β
"Her name is Qinghe." Cen Ge answered silently, his eyes were a little scattered, ""Liuhelu" records that the Qinghe Sect Master suddenly regained consciousness after several years of dementia, although she doesn't remember what happened back then, but she still has the ability to make the Lotus Divine Throne burn and show color, so after the reorganization of the White Sect, she still praised her to continue to serve as the sect leader, until a few years later King Jialan appeared, that man directly made the entire Qianji Palace Hall prosperous, Qinghe Sect Master immediately decided to abdicate and let Xian, she walked very fast, After throwing the throne of the Sect Master to Queen Garan as if fleeing for her life, she disappeared completely, and no one has seen her again. β
"Oh?" The Grand Commander smiled and sighed, "She is really a smart person, and she is indeed qualified to be the sect leader." β
