Chapter 46 Dagger
On the altar, Bai Fan looked at the densely packed crowd below and sighed slightly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This festival is not grand!
However, few people know what this festival really means.
This festival, in Bai Fan's opinion, is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fateful battle in Baishan County.
Because, if this operation fails, then the entire Baishan County, including himself, will fall into the clutches of the remnants of the Heavenly Sect.
So, this battle must be won!!
Thinking of this, Bai Fan looked at the people of Chen Yutian who were hidden in the crowd, and then at the people who were very likely to become the targets of the rest of the Heavenly Sect, and his eyes suddenly became solemn.
At the same time, in an unknown place, there are two pairs of eyes, closely watching every move on the altar.
And their eyes kept shuttling through the crowd, sweeping over and over again.
It seems that they are looking for someone!!
Suddenly, a gaze silently fell on Xuan Xi in the crowd.
And she herself was unaware of this.
With Xuan Xi's skills, she is still unaware of this sneaky peeping gaze, which shows that the owner of this gaze must be a character whose skills are far superior to hers.
There is only one such character in the Celestial Sect.
That's the ghost whose power has reached the level of Gangqi detachment!
Behind the altar, there is a simple Buddha hall, the hall is carved beams and painted buildings, there is no lack of beauty in the simplicity, it seems quite atmospheric.
In the Buddha hall, more than a dozen figures were quietly hidden here, holding their breath and concentrating, not daring to make a sound.
The ghost and Tianyan master and apprentice, at this moment, hid in this Buddha hall, carefully observing everything that happened outside the Buddha hall.
The Devil stared at Xuan Xi for a few moments and asked, "Tianyan, is that the 'playful only princess of the dynasty' that Zhu Zheng said?"
"Exactly, Master. Tianyan replied.
"Since she has participated in this festival without knowing how to do it, then you might as well control it in our hands by the way, and make up for the regret that the master didn't finish before......" Ghost Nightmare sneered, and suddenly, his gaze fell on Chen Yutian beside Xuan Xi.
At the same time, Chen Yutian suddenly stood up with sweat and hairs all over his body, and a feeling of extreme danger suddenly surged into his heart.
He hurriedly looked back, but for a moment, the feeling of danger disappeared without a trace.
"Delusion?" Chen Yutian looked behind him and muttered to himself.
"What a sharp mind! What a powerful mind!" the ghost was secretly surprised.
After practicing martial arts to this point, he can already get in touch with some of the superficial knowledge of the mind, so he can only see at a glance that Chen Yutian's mind is amazingly strong.
"Who is this person?" he asked, pointing to Chen Yutian.
"Master, listen to Zhu Zheng, that kid is a friend of Bai Fan, he has been helping Bai Fan investigate the case in the past few days, and he is also the one who peeked into the mystery of the ghost temple, and he also injured Ah San. Tianyan glanced at Chen Yutian and replied.
"Oh, that's what he wounded?"
Ghost Nightmare was taken aback, Ah San was his second apprentice, although his personality was a little so-so, but his martial arts were first-class, that time he was injured, he had also seen the wound, and the other party's secret weapon technique was very special, so that he couldn't recognize the source for a while.
"Peeping into the mystery of the ghost temple and shooting Ah San with a hidden weapon, this kid is not simple......"
"Master, no matter how powerful he is, he can't escape today's catastrophe, just a master of the otherworldly realm, I don't bother you so much. What you need to pay attention to is the snow and the cold ......" Tianyan smiled contemptuously and immediately spoke.
The Devil didn't look at the snow this time.
After all, the other party is an opponent at the same level as himself, and he can't be so big.
"You said that he is already a master of the Gang Qi Separation Realm, is the news reliable?"
"Master, the news is absolutely reliable. Tianyan nodded.
"It's really amazing, and it deserves to be a backward in the rivers and lakes that far surpasses its peers. However, although Bingji's internal strength is quite difficult, after all, he has just been promoted, and his strength has not yet been consolidated, so he may not be the opponent of the old man. ”
The Devil smiled faintly, extremely confident.
"Then there will be no stumbling blocks to stop us. Tianyan also smiled confidently.
......
On the altar, Bai Fan was reciting the sacrificial text.
The memorial text had already been written, and of course, it was also written by him himself. After all, how could such a grand festival use a knife-catching work?
After reading the sacrificial text, it is time for the official sacrifice.
I saw that the three animals and six animals that had been prepared were carried to the offering table, and Bai Fan was dressed in official clothes, holding three sticks of high incense in both hands, standing in front of the altar.
On the side, the old monk who presided over the sacrifice shouted loudly: "A sacrifice to the emperor and the queen of heaven will bless the stability of the people's livelihood in our county and the blessings will continue!"
When the words fell, Bai Fan bowed deeply to the heaven and earth!
"The two gods of the valley and the rain will bless our county with smooth wind and rain, and abundant food and clothing!"
Bai Fan is another worship!
"Three sacrifices to Vedic Bodhisattva, bless the people of our county from plague, and ghosts and gods are not afraid!"
Bai Fan bowed again, and then solemnly inserted the high incense in his hand into the incense burner on the offering table.
Three wisps of smoke then wafted up.
"Licheng!
The old monk shouted loudly, and immediately, several monks came to the altar and gave the "holy water" in the copper basin to everyone present one by one.
This is the rule of the festival, and after the sacrifice is over, the holy water needs to be distributed to all the people who participate in the festival to drink together, because for the festival, this water is the object of the gods' reduction, and drinking this water is equivalent to receiving the blessing of the gods.
Therefore, in the ritual, holy water is something that everyone will drink.
Therefore, Chen Yutian will be so sure that Zhu Zheng and the remnants of the Heavenly Sect will poison the holy water.
Zhu Zheng looked at the small bowl that had gradually been distributed into everyone's hands, and his eyes slowly became hot.
It's just him, even the Ghost Nightmare and Tianyan who are hidden in the Buddha Hall, they can't help but get excited when they see this scene.
It's almost ...... It's almost there......
Their plan is about to succeed......
The three of them all looked angry, as if they had seen the scene where everyone present fell to the ground one after another.
However, they also know that the more they come to such a moment, the more they must not be careless.
Therefore, in anticipation, the two of them still opened their spiritual senses very carefully, and carefully observed every move around the earth.
And while they were observing the surroundings, the holy water was still smoothly distributed to everyone's hands.
Even Bai Fan, Zhu Zheng, and the old monk who presided over the sacrifice on the altar also held a bowl each.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Baishan County, let us drink holy water again!!"
Bai Fan raised the small bowl in his hand with both hands, and said loudly to the dense crowd under the audience, after that, he took the lead in drinking it all.
Everyone in the audience picked up the small bowl and drank it all with their heads up.
Zhu Zheng also picked up the small bowl, but he didn't drink it, and the moment the holy water touched his upper lip, he paused abruptly.
At the same time, there was a rare silence at the festival.
Zhu Zheng pretended to drink all the holy water, and looked down through the gap between the bowl and his lips.
Syllable......
A crisp sound rang out, breaking the rare silence in the square.
It was the sound of the porcelain bowl breaking, and then, the sound of more and more porcelain bowls breaking came and went in the square, and as the sound sounded, people stiffened in a period of dizziness, and then slowly fell to the ground.
"Holy Water...... Poisonous. ”
The old monk on the altar also smashed the porcelain bowl to pieces, and his stiff face only had time to make a surprised expression, and his body slowly fell to the ground, silent.
A moment later, almost all of them fell to the ground, and only a dozen figures stood in the square.
These people are not Zhu Zheng and others, but those who were regarded by Chen Yutian as the remnants of the Celestial Sect from the beginning.
Among them, Bai Fan and Xuan Xi are naturally also included.
They stood there with blank eyes, like dead things.
"Haha......" A burst of wild laughter suddenly sounded, and immediately, more than a dozen figures slowly walked out of the Buddha hall, and the first person was the ghost.
Seeing this, Zhu Zheng hurriedly stepped forward.
"It seems that the plan is going very well. ”
"Yes, there were almost no obstacles, and our plan has worked. Zhu Zheng nodded.
"Very good, these people have already won our Heart Pill, next, it's up to you, young master......"
The Devil smiled slightly, and then glanced at Zhu Zheng meaningfully.
Zhu Zheng said with a smile: "Although the Great Elder can rest assured, although he is not very proficient in the Mind Rejuvenation Technique, the use of the Mind Restraint Pill has already been mastered in the Meditation Pill, so let's watch me perform next." ”
He had a big smile and a lot of confidence.
Because the tricky characters have already taken their way, and then it's time to harvest.
Zhu Zheng's mood seemed very relaxed.
But, at this moment, suddenly a discordant voice slowly sounded from the crowd.
"Sure enough, you are really Li Changtian's descendant!!"
