Chapter 20: The Blood Sacrifice of the Fire Toad

Time back to half a month ago, a suburb of Zizhou was built in a secret cave, the fire was transparent, and there were black-clothed people guarding the passage every five steps, and the whole cave was filled with a strong smell of blood, and from time to time there were screams, echoing in the quiet cave, penetrating people's hearts, and the black-clothed people seemed to be unaware of this, standing motionless in place, looking around.

And in the space in the center of the secret cave, there was a man in green clothes looking ahead with a solemn face, and it was from here that the screams came from.

"Sir, this blood should be enough, right?" The voice of the person who spoke was gloomy, it was the man who was called the Dharma Protector in the courtyard of Yingzhou a few days ago, and he was looking at the person who looked like a military advisor next to him.

"It should be enough, but this fire toad is extremely picky about blood, and I don't know if it will succeed. As he spoke, he glanced at the center of the cave with a complicated expression.

I saw that it was a half-acre blood pool, I don't know what material it was made of, the thick plasma rolled in it, did not condense or disperse, and also emitted a faint heat, floating into the air, presumably the bloody gas in the cave came from this.

On the side of the blood pool, two black-clothed men were carrying the corpse of a man and walking outside the cave, and they couldn't help but feel chilled when they saw it, this pool of blood turned out to be fresh human blood, and they wanted to fill a half-acre pool, I don't know how many innocent lives were killed, and the two people next to the blood pool were expressionless about it.

The Dharma protector then said, "In the past half a month, I have caught a lot of nearby villagers to collect a pool of blood, presumably the Great Wilderness has found out that something is wrong, send someone to check, and ask Mr. to start quickly, so that nothing goes wrong." ”

When the gray-clothed man next to him heard this, he was slightly startled and said, "My subordinates must do their best not to disappoint the Dharma Protector." ”

"That's best, and if you're wasting your time as before, you'd better be prepared to go to the Lord. The Dharma Protector said coldly, and then turned and walked out of the cave. The black-clothed subordinates in the cave also secretly shuddered when they heard this, and the Dharma Protector did what he said, praying in his heart that this time he would be successful, otherwise he would lose his life because of this.

After the hair care left, the man in Tsing Yi said, "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly bring up the fire toad." ”

After a while, the black-clothed man presented a black jade-colored box and a roll of parchment, and the man in Tsing Yi took the box, gently put it on the ground, knelt on his knees, and opened the box, only to see that the things in the box were all clear, and the complex meridians in the body were clearly visible, looking like a toad, and he was lying in it with his eyes closed.

Seeing this, the man in Tsing Yi nodded with satisfaction, bit his fingers, and drew a pattern with his hand on the parchment, which was the direction of the states on the mainland, and after the painting was completed, he spread it in front of him, and then closed his eyes, and recited an obscure incantation in his mouth, his voice was like a song, and the song was like crying, and it was far away, and it had been floating out of the cave, the sound was not loud, but it was very powerful, and it was very harsh, and the people in black in the cave immediately covered their ears when they heard this.

With the incantation, the man in Tsing Yi knelt on the ground and began to tremble, and the whole cave seemed to shake with it, and the soil particles and stone chips kept falling from the top of the cave, and the time passed little by little, the man in Tsing Yi opened his eyes and stared at the fire toad in the box, and the incantation in his mouth sang faster and faster, and the trembling became more and more intense, and suddenly he screamed and spurted out a mouthful of blood on the fire toad in the box.

Then the whole person flew backwards and fell heavily on the stone wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, not caring about his own injuries, he glanced at the contents of the box, there was no movement, thinking that this time I was afraid that I would fail again, and sighed in his mouth.

At this moment, the fire toad in the box suddenly opened its eyes, its whole body floated in the air, its bright red eyes stared at the blood in the pool, making a "quack" sound, and then opened its mouth to suck towards the blood pool, only to see the slowly flowing plasma condensed into a small strand and flew towards the fire toad, and was swallowed into the mouth impartially.

Seeing this, the man in Tsing Yi was overjoyed, and struggled to get up and ran out of the cave, and the black-clothed men didn't dare to stop for a moment and ran out of the cave.

As the blood continued to pour into the body, the fire toad's body became bright red, and a pair of bloody eyes became more and more excited.

About an hour later, with the last drop of blood being sucked into the mouth, the color of the fire toad itself is the same as the plasma, the body is also swollen due to the influx of blood, the thick blood slowly circulates in its body, after a full meal, the fire toad also exudes a strong fiery breath, the temperature in the cave rises suddenly, and the fire toad's mouth makes a "quack" sound, and then slowly falls into the box.

As soon as the body touched the bottom of the box, a faint fire light appeared on its body, and then it burned more and more, and then with a bang, a golden pillar of light erupted from its mouth, broke through the top of the cave, broke through the earth, and rushed to the sky.

Just when everyone outside the cave waited for a long time, they were impatient to enter the cave, and the black-clothed protector also cast an inquiring gaze to the man in Tsing Yi, who was pale at this time, covering his chest with both hands, gasping for breath, and seemed to be in great pain, just when he was about to explain, he suddenly saw a pillar of light shining out, lighting up the entire night sky, like day, with an expression of joy and fear in his eyes.

This sudden change attracted everyone's attention, and the black-clothed protector also turned to look, his face softened a lot, and then said, "This seat is also doing things for the Lord, don't blame you, sir, such a scene is afraid that this matter has been completed, find this thing, Mr.'s merit, and I will definitely report it truthfully to the Lord in the future." ”

"The Dharma protector doesn't have to be polite, it's all a matter of subordination. After speaking, his eyes flashed slightly, his face became even paler, and his voice coughed incessantly, and it seemed that this matter had a great load on him.

The pillar light continued for a long time before it gradually dissipated, and the area around the cave fell into darkness again.

A group of people hurriedly rushed into the cave, and the roof of the cave had already been broken, and the stones fell all over the ground, and after moving away from the ruins, they saw the dying fire toad lying on the parchment, the blood color of the whole body faded, and then turned back to white and crystal color, and the map under him was dyed red, and a pair of bloody eyes were revealing a vicious light, looking at the man in black in the cave.

After reading the parchment, the black-clothed protector was slightly surprised, pointed to the place that was dyed red, and asked, "Sir, is this in Huizhou?"

"Qi Qi Protector is Huizhou. ”

"That's the place of Tantra, how did that thing end up here, is there something wrong with the blood sacrifice. ”

"Impossible, the method of blood sacrifice is the ancient forbidden law, plus the fire toad is a rare spiritual creature in the world, after such a blood sacrifice, the fire essence accumulated in the body for many years is dispersed, and if it is not replenished in time, it will die in less than half a month, involving life, it is impossible to be wrong. At this time, the Tsing Yi man said loudly, his tone was very affirmative.

Hearing this, the black-clothed Dharma Protector said, "If it's really here, then it's going to be troublesome." ”

"The fire toad has a very keen sense of the fire spirit, no matter how far away, it can't be wrong. Now there are traces left on the map of the boundary of Huizhou, that is. Hearing the protective tone, there seemed to be suspicion, and the man in Tsing Yi continued.

"It's not that I have any doubts about the location, after all, we have been preparing here for a long time, and my sir has worked hard, but do you know which sect is in Huizhou?" the Dharma Protector sighed softly.

"Buddhist Tantra. But so what, even if it's one of the three sects, as long as the thing is not on Mount Meru, then it will be obtained. ”

"Sir doesn't know that Tantra has managed Huizhou for many years, and even when the Demon Sect was vigorous, he didn't dare to set foot in Huizhou. ”

The man in Tsing Yi was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Why is this?"

"Because of the Mahayana staff. The Mahayana staff is a sacred relic of Buddhism, which has been enshrined with the Buddha of the Mahavira Hall for thousands of years, absorbing the power of the world's faith, and has long been psychic. ”

When it comes to the Lord in the mouth of the black-clothed Dharma Protector, all the subordinates have a look of fear in their eyes, but when they hear it, their legs tremble unconsciously, and now they are not even opponents of the Lord who is powerful to the sky, and they naturally can't match it, but how to find that thing.

The man in Tsing Yi was also surprised when he heard this, and then asked, "The large area of Huizhou is hundreds of miles in circumference, as long as you act carefully and don't fight the tantric sect head-on, there is still a way to find this thing." ”

Hearing this, the Dharma Protector sneered and said, "I have heard that the Lord mentioned Mr., who is knowledgeable and knows everything, but now when it comes to Tantra, Mr. does not know anything. ”

The man in Tsing Yi looked embarrassed and said, "Please also ask the Dharma Protector to speak." ”

"Actually, the main problem is not the Mahayana staff, but that we can't set foot in Huizhou at all. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in Tsing Yi were even more surprised, and said, "Why is this?"

"The Bodhi tree is the Bodhi tree on Mount Meru. As long as we people step into the boundary of Huizhou and sense our breath, they will warn, and the group of bald donkeys in Tantric Buddhism will also go down the mountain to check, which is also the reason why the Demon Sect does not dare to set foot in Huizhou. ”

There are both Mahayana staff protectors and Bodhi trees to warn, and it is only difficult to enter Huizhou, let alone find things.

There was silence in the cave for a long time, and the black-clothed Dharma Protector continued, "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to rush to Huizhou with the fire toad first, find the thing before the tantric sect discovers it, and then leave immediately." ”

"The Dharma protector must also pay attention to the fact that the fire toad can only live for fifteen days, as long as the thing is within ten zhang of it, it will be warned, and the Dharma protector must always pay attention to the state of the fire toad, and must find it before it dies, otherwise it will be a failure. The man in Tsing Yi coughed lightly twice and reminded him.

"That's it, without further ado, this seat will take people to set off, Mr. will return to the sect to recuperate from his injuries first, and the Lord has other things for Mr. to do. With that, he beckoned a group of men in black to leave.

After the others left, the man in green clothes covered his chest and said in an inaudible voice, "To open that place, I'm afraid it's not enough to have this thing." After saying that, he walked out of the secret cave along the passage.

Everything fell silent again, and returned to darkness, waiting for a fresh wind to carry away the rich bloody breath of the wilderness, leaving only cold corpses, piled up.

Gradually, the morning light shines in the east, shining again on the earth, trying to cleanse all darkness and evil.
