Chapter 12 Sacrificial Ceremony

The day of the sacrificial ceremony.

In the early morning, before the sun had fully risen, the people of Flood Dragon City had already splashed water on the streets to clean them up, making them look brand new.

In Flood Dragon City under the rule of Sea God Sect, the sacrificial ceremony is the most important day of the year. Even if the common people are angry in their hearts, they can only dare not speak out, and carefully cooperate with the monk Shangzong's request.

The solemn and magnificent Zhonghe Shaoyue is coming from the square where the Jiaolong Statue is located. It is composed of dozens of musical instruments such as chime bells, chime bells, and gong bells.

An hour before the start of the sacrificial ceremony, Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian had already arrived at the restaurant that had been reserved in advance.

After ordering a few famous dishes of the restaurant, the two of them savored slowly and chatted in low voices, and they looked like ordinary diners.

Looking at the square from the current location, it can be seen that before the huge Jiaolong statue, a circular mound altar has been set up for sacrifices. In the southwest of the altar, there are sky lanterns, incense, and misty clouds.

However, in the center of the Circular Mound Altar, what is placed is not a god tablet, but a huge sunken pit. In the pit, there are many green sandalwoods that emit a strange fragrance when burned. On top of the green sandalwood are It is a collection of precious things such as pearls, jade, silk and silk.

On both sides under the altar, the city guards of Jiaolong City stood quietly on both sides, maintaining order.

In the southeast corner of the altar, there are many ritual instruments. Musicians who are proficient in musical instruments are playing music, and the continuous sound of bells is from this.

The viewing seats in the square were already crowded with people watching the ceremony at this time. There were thousands of people. They all had a mysterious symbol painted on their faces, and there was even a rope tied around their left arms. The white and blue ribbons, so many people gathered, but there was no noise, very solemn.

These are the people who were forced by the Sea God Sect to come to watch the ritual and sacrifice ceremony. Ordinary people would dare to resist the orders of the Sect, and they would not dare to make noise because of the authority of the monks.

...

Lu Qingshan took a sip of his tea, and his eyes wandered between the tables.

On the seat by the window, before Lu Qingshan came, there was already an old man sitting in high spirits. There were many spirit animal bags hanging around the old man's waist.

The old man was drinking alone, his eyes wandered, and his attention was obviously on the sacrificial ceremony in the square, but after Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian arrived, he looked at Lu Qingshan's table from time to time.

In the southeast corner, there were two burly men, who ordered a table full of appetizers and held a large bowl of sea drinks, looking very refreshed.

And beside Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian, there is a family of three sitting, the husband and wife are both very young, the little boy of three or four years old sitting next to his mother, is also very well-behaved.

The wife scooped up the steaming meat porridge with a spoon and was feeding the child, her eyes full of love.

 …

after a long time.

"Here we come." Zang Xiaojian said softly.

In the not-too-distant sky, three blue lights flashed.

The blue light gradually approached the altar, and finally landed in front of the altar, revealing the figure inside.

Three sea god sect masters in blue Taoist robes.

A Golden Core cultivator and two Foundation Establishment cultivators are the ones in charge of presiding over the sacrificial ceremony.

Tch-bang!

With the arrival of the three monks, the bell stopped abruptly, the drum music turned louder, and the sacrificial ceremony officially began.

As soon as the Jindan Daoist of Sea God Sect arrived at the scene, he raised a flame with his left hand, flicked it, and shot it quickly into the accumulated salary in the pit in the center of the altar, and then yelled softly, "Welcome God!"

run away!

The firewood in the deep pit in the center of the altar immediately set off fireworks.

The sacrificial priest who had been waiting by the side, holding a sacrificial text in both hands, walked up in three steps and two steps, and bowed down respectfully in front of Daoist Jindan.

Jindan Daoist received the sacrificial oration, and recited the sacrificial oration aloud with his spiritual power hidden in his voice, the sound resounded in all directions.

After reciting the sacrificial oration, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Sea God Sect also came from both sides of the altar,

Each led ninety-nine virgins and virgins and came up.

These virgins, boys and girls are restricted by the spell, they are all motionless, like puppets on a string, under the control of others, but their eyes are full of fear and panic.

Daoist Jindan's face was calm, and he whispered three words, "Sacrificial boy!"

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Sea God Sect got the order and made a formula with both hands, and these boys and girls couldn't help but walked up to the altar step by step in an orderly manner.

On the altar that was smoking with fireworks, the boys jumped straight up without the slightest pause or hesitation, and jumped into the fire pit one after another.

The firewood burned blazingly. As soon as the boys and girls entered it, they were instantly surrounded by flames, their expressions convulsed and painful, but the boys and girls who were banned by the monks from moving could not even wail.

Their immature faces were faintly visible in the flames, and gradually burned into coke and disappeared.

Among the people watching the ceremony in the audience, some had indignation on their faces, some were sad in their hearts, some had red-eyed eyes, but many more seemed numb.

The sacrificial ceremony is still in progress.

 …

Above the restaurant.

Lu Qingshan patted King Xishu on the head, looked at the family of three who were about to go out after paying the bill, and said softly: "Follow up and see where they are staying, so you don't get caught."

The King of the West Mouse sucked the fat on his paws, feeling a little unsatisfied, as if he didn't want to leave.

"If you do well, I will give you two blood spirit beads." Lu Qingshan wrote lightly.

The King of the Western Mouse was shocked when he heard the words, and patted his chest to reassure him: "Shouldn't you just be with someone? The tiger eats bean sprouts, it's a piece of cake, and I will leave it to Master Shu!"

King Xishu jumped and quickly disappeared into the restaurant.

The West Rat King is not arrogant. Although it has no means of attack, its ability to hide its breath is indeed quite outstanding, and it is really good at tracking others.

"Why them?" Zang Xiaojian was puzzled, "It's obvious that the monk who has been paying attention to us and the sacrificial ceremony is more suspicious?"

Lu Qingshan shook his head and explained: "Due to the geographical relationship of Jiaolong Island, the people on the island have more or less accents, and their speech is very cracked, as if talking with their lips curled up, but that old man just talked to Xiaoer When I was there, my accent was heavy, obviously not from the island, but from outside, just like you and me.

And you can see that the old man has four full spirit beast bags hanging around his waist, which means that he is a beast cultivator, and his cultivation level is not low. It is not surprising that he can see through the lame illusion of the King of the West Mouse.

People from other places are still beast cultivators. They are a little curious about the sacrificial ceremony and the King of the West Mouse. It is not surprising that they pay more attention to it. However, this organization that wants to overthrow the Sea God Sect is obviously a local force, and the possibility of having monks from other places is not high. . "

"As for this family of three," Lu Qingshan chuckled, "Have you ever seen a mother who would feed her child extremely hot meat porridge? And which child could eat the hot porridge just out of the oven without changing his face?

In addition, you may not have noticed that from the beginning to the end, the husband only took the initiative to look at his wife once, and there was almost no real eye contact with the child. It seems so close to each other. Does this look like a family of three? "

"Husband and wife are fake couples, and children are fake children, so only ghosts are real."
