II. Chapter 56—The Blood Sacrifice
In Yonghe City, Shen Jue and Yue Bufan walked towards the west of the city together, and the more they walked, the more remote they became, with barren grass and withered and desolate.
It wasn't until the two of them came to a ruined temple that they stopped.
The ruined temple had most of its walls collapsed, and the walls were covered with yellow weeds, and the courtyard was littered with broken bricks and tiles, with a bluestone paved road in the middle that could no longer be seen. The whole looks like a dilapidated look, and it looks like the incense has been broken for many years.
The statue inside was broken and fell aside, the incense tripod was broken, all covered with dust and cobwebs, and I didn't know where the gods were worshiped at the beginning. However, the delicate red lacquer carvings on the beams and pillars and the remnants of the yellow curtains can still show its prosperity in those years.
Yue Bufan and Shen Jue stood here, not looking too much, but looking very casual, obviously it was not the first time that the two of them had come here.
Shen Jue opened his mouth and said, "Brother Yue, after this period of practice, you have made rapid progress, and I also appreciate your talent and qualifications!" As he spoke, he took out a red bead from his arms, which was the Wufu bead!
Although the style of this bead is ordinary, but the red is translucent, the blood is dripping, and it faintly gives people a strange feeling, Yue Bufan knew that it was an extraordinary product at first sight, his expression was slightly condensed, and he said strangely: "What is this?"
"A bead!" Shen Jue pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "A bead that can allow you to practice for a thousand miles in a day!"
Although he had a smile on his face, he didn't see a hint of banter, but it was easier to believe.
Yue Bufan was slightly surprised, and his eyes looked at this bead with magical power in Shen Jie's mouth.
Shen Jue put away his smile and said, "Okay, you now have the ability to drive this bead, just follow the steps I usually taught you!"
Yue Bufan didn't have any doubts, nodded, and sat down cross-legged.
"Then it's on!" Shen Jue slowly activated the true qi in his body, and the Innocent Bead in his palm glowed with blood-red light under the urging and slowly floated up. The red mangs spread like silk threads, and the demonic power of the Void Bead gradually burst out, and under this power, the broken yellow curtains on the pillars and the cobwebs on the corners of the walls began to tremble slightly.
Yue Bufan was slightly stunned, only to see Shen Jue exert his strength again, the red light of the beads suddenly flourished, and the wind in the room seemed to become stronger, and his hair and clothes were moving with the wind. The strange demonic power is also getting stronger and stronger, as if it is pulling the whole person, which makes people feel agitated and faintly restless.
Shen Jue didn't stop, and continued to instill true qi into the beads, but his brows gradually condensed, and he didn't look calm, as if even if his cultivation was still urging this great thing, it was not easy.
Yue Bufan was slightly surprised, in a period of contact, Shen Jue gave him the impression that no matter what he did, he was at ease, and his cultivation was even more elusive. But right now, urging a mysterious bead is actually very dignified, enough to see the strong power of this bead.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited in his heart, and even a little impatient. He followed Shen Jue to cultivate, although the method was strange and he had never seen it, but his cultivation could be said to be obviously improving day by day. This time, with the help of this magic bead, you will definitely be able to take a big step forward and impress those who don't look down on you!
"Brother Yue!"
At this moment, Shen Jue suddenly glanced at Yue Bufan.
Yue Bufan immediately understood, immediately picked up the broken tile next to him, and without the slightest hesitation, he slashed at his palm, and a wound appeared when he landed, and blood slowly flowed out.
Then he activated his True Qi and slowly stretched out his blood-stained hand towards the mysterious bead floating in the air.
In the broken temple, Shen Jue's face was solemn, his two fingers were volleying in the air, and he quickly drew a strange handprint, and after a while, the scattered red mangs seemed to have received some traction, and began to condense into countless red filaments, faintly towards the wound of Yue Bufan's palm.
When the red silk thread touched Yue Bufan's wound, it first blended with his blood. His face suddenly changed, full of pain and struggle.
Then, the red silk thread began to flow backwards with the blood flowing out of him, and strangely merged into his body together.
Shen Jue glanced at him, and with another second finger, the red light in the room accelerated and condensed under the urging, and countless blood-red threads continued to surge towards the palm.
Yue Bufan was stunned, his face suddenly became hideous and twisted, his hair was flying, and his eyes were faintly shining with ghostly blood, like a ghost.
I don't know when, the bloody aura that filled the broken temple began to slowly weaken, as if it gradually entered Yue Bufan's body with the red silk.
The Wufu Zhu floating in the air also began to slowly move closer to Yue Bufan's body along the surging red line, and every time he got closer, his hideous and distorted face seemed to be gradually settling down. In the end, the Wufu Pearl stopped at a distance of half a zhang in front of his palm, which lasted for a long time, and as the last red thread entered his body, his face was completely stable, and there was a faint red light, and he felt full of energy!
Shen Jueze's face turned slightly pale, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, he glanced at the slightly dim blood beads, and with one move, he held it in his hand again and put it in his arms.
Inside the house, the demonic wind stopped abruptly, everything returned to calm, and even the bloody aura that had just filled the surroundings was completely gone.
Shen Jue looked quite distracted, slowed down slightly, and said, "Okay!"
Hearing this, Yue Bufan stood up, and during this action, he immediately felt that his body was full of strength, and this feeling of being full of true qi seemed to be as vast as the sea.
He was overjoyed in his heart, and was secretly surprised that there was a cultivation method that had such a quick effect, which was really incomparable. He subconsciously spread out his palm to see that there was no trace of blood on the wound in the palm of his hand, and he didn't feel pain, and the skin and flesh on both sides were tightly together, not at all like the one that had been cut just now.
"Brother Shen, it's really amazing, this is ......." He just looked up, but found that Shen Jie's face was slightly pale with a look of exhaustion, so he asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Shen Jue shook his head, then a slight smile appeared on his face, and said, "How do you feel?"
Yue Bufan shook his hand again after he asked, and said heavily: "Very good, thank you Brother Shen!"
Shen Jue nodded, the smile on his face was a little weirder, and said with a smile: "From now on, no one will look down on you anymore!"
Yue Bufan was completely immersed in the joy of gaining strength, and he didn't notice the strange smile on the corner of Shen Jie's mouth at all.
"Okay, you go back!" Shen Jue said suddenly.
Yue Bufan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the tattered surroundings, and said suspiciously: "Brother Shen, don't you leave here with me?"
At this time, Shen Jue's face was already much better, and it seemed that the consumption just now had recovered, and he shook his head and said, "You go first, I still have some things to do." ”
Yue Bufan still wanted to ask in detail, but seeing Shen Jue's expression, he didn't seem to have any intention of saying it, so he nodded hesitantly and left.
However, before he walked out of the temple gate, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, Brother Shen, when did you say that you were going to take me to do something earth-shattering?"
Shen Jue stood in front of the broken statue, looking at Yue Bufan at the door with a smile, and after a while, he said softly: "Don't worry!"
Yue Bufan's deep heart was already obsessed with worshipping him, although he didn't ask clearly, but when he got a positive signal, he couldn't help but be excited in his heart, nodded and walked out of the broken temple.
Shen Jue, who was standing in the temple, looked at the disappearing figure, and smiled faintly, "It's already started." ”
Walking outside, Yue Bufan's mood was unprecedentedly comfortable, as if the whole world was much brighter.
Since the last selection competition, no one looks at it squarely, and the place to go to Wutong City has been robbed, and everyone has to go against themselves, and everyone is sneered at by everyone!
The shame and resentment of the past came to his heart.
However, this is not what it used to be, fortunately I met a noble person, and my cultivation has become a thousand miles a day, and those who looked down on me at the beginning don't know if they will regret it!
When Yue Bufan thought of this, his whole person had uncontrollable excitement and excitement, and shouted wildly in his heart: I will let everyone remember my name, Yue Bufan!
He unconsciously straightened up and walked triumphantly and arrogantly towards the city.
Suddenly, a sloppy homeless man came across the road ahead.
If it was ordinary, Yue Bufan's arrogant personality would not have looked at it at all, but at this moment, he was suddenly stunned.
Because he couldn't help but look away, and when he entered his eyes, he only saw the blood vessels in the homeless man's neck beating so violently, leaping and moving, as if the blood in it was about to break through the next moment.
At the same time, this picture flashed in Yue Bufan's mind, as if there was a unique desire for blood in his heart!
In a trance, he shook his head vigorously, and when he looked again, the blood vessels on the homeless man's neck were beating very slightly, and it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye, how could there be any blood that wanted to come out.
"What's wrong with me?"
Yue Bufan secretly wondered in his heart, and the strange desire in his heart suddenly disappeared.
In this moment, the homeless man passed by him. He watched the homeless man walk farther and farther away, and couldn't help but wonder if he was hallucinating.
Yue Bufan frowned, he didn't take it seriously, and then the whole person was occupied by the excitement and excitement brought by the cultivation ascension, and continued to walk forward.
When he got out of the middle of nowhere, there were more pedestrians.
Yue Bufan looked at all kinds of people, and suddenly felt a mess in his brain. He shook his head effortfully and continued on his way.
But gradually, his steps began to float, and he almost fell a few times, but fortunately he quickly grabbed the pedestrians beside him. But in this contact, he suddenly found that his attention was completely attracted by the blood vessels in the neck of the pedestrian, and even in his trance-like vision, there were only crazy and violently beating blood vessels!
Up and down, you can even hear the sound of your heartbeat!
Yue Bufan only felt that his mind was swollen and painful, and he looked up blankly, the whole street, countless pedestrians, was like this!
His face twisted in horror stumbled forward.
Among the pedestrians, this strange man was also discovered, as if he was drunk and crazy, and they all watched and watched.
Yue Bufan rushed away from the crowd, staggered for a while, and fell directly on the vendor stall next to him, and the shelves were scattered.
He stood up in a panic, his figure was shaky, and around him, there were countless crowds of people watching the excitement, pointing and pointing, with smiling faces and angry faces!
But there was no sound.
In the broken temple, Shen Jue sat cross-legged, floating in front of him, with blood-red light on it, strong and weak.
He smiled faintly and held out his hand.
