Ling Xiao walked into Gu Ji City, and saw that the streets were extremely deserted.
This made him wonder, could it be that this is a dead city?
Ling Xiao was about to start sensing, but found a young man about his age running out of a room and running towards one direction.
Ling Xiao stepped forward to grab the young man and asked, "Brother, where are you going?".
The young man glanced at Ling impatiently and said with a smile, "My buddy can tell you are a foreigner at a glance. If you want to know, come with me and talk on the way."
"So much work." Ling Xiao responded without hesitation, and walked side by side with the young man in the same direction.
"Brother, do you really not know what happened in our Gu Sacrifice City?" The young man asked back.
Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "I was passing through Guidi, so I really don't know what happened."
"Then you are lucky. Today is the day when the high priest of our Gu Sacrifice City sacrifices the city, and it is also the day when the high priest's granddaughter chooses his grandson-in-law. All the princes and young masters in the city participated, and there are also many young people from big families from outside the city. Caijun, they are all here for the high priest's granddaughter, and everyone in the city gathered in the priest's hall to join in the fun," the young man said complacently.
Ling Xiao looked at his excited look and said with a smile, "Brother, it seems that he has a chance to become the son-in-law of the high priest!".
The young man said in embarrassment, "I... I just went to have a look and try my luck."
"It seems that the granddaughter of the high priest must be as beautiful as a fairy, and she is fascinated by such a handsome character as Xiongtai. It's really amazing!" Ling Xiao will speak along the pole.
Whether it's a man or a woman, it's always puffy to be praised, and this young man is no exception.
For a while, he cited Ling Xiao as his confidant and said, "Brother's words sound good. How can I say that he is also the most beautiful man in Gu Jicheng, Jia Junnan. Maybe he can really be liked by the priestess."
"That's for sure. Xiong Jia is a man of great talent and extraordinary strength. It is inevitable that he will attract countless beauties." Ling Xiao continued to praise Jia Junnan.
"Brother is not bad, I don't know how to call him?" Jia Junnan was very happy to hear that, and immediately hugged Ling Xiao's shoulder with great joy, and said with a big laugh.
People who don't know think that Ling Xiao and Jia Junnan are good friends and good brothers for many years.
"Little brother Ling Xiao, he is really far behind Jia Xiong." Ling Xiao said humbly again and again.
Then, the two walked shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing towards a temple of priests in a square.
Along the way, Ling Xiao finally got a general idea of the situation in Gu Ji City.
As Gu Jia Junnan said, Gu Ji City has been built for tens of thousands of years, and it is one of the oldest cities in Ruoda Northwest. It is a city located between Zitianzong and Baiyuezong. No one dares to violate the Gu Festival City.
Those sects that once wanted to annex Gu Ji City have all disappeared in the long river of history.
In the Gu Ji City, the High Priest is the most powerful. No one knows the name and origin of the High Priest, only that he is a mysterious figure that has been handed down since the city was founded.
Every high priest is a terrifying power with great supernatural powers and extraordinary strength.
He will always belong to the supreme ruler of Gu Ji City, and he is deeply admired and respected by all the citizens of Gu Ji City.
Every year in Gu Ji City, there will be one day when the high priest sacrifices to the city.
It is because of the ancient legend that the Gu Sacrifice City has been cursed by the ancestors of all ages. It is necessary for the high priest to sacrifice to the gods of heaven every year to ensure that the Gu Sacrifice City will always prosper and prosper for a long time, otherwise there will be a disaster of destroying the city. The disaster of cutting off the seed.
Today is the annual city sacrifice day, every year today is the busiest day in Gu sacrifice city.
All the city residents will gather in the Priest Hall to pay homage to the City Ceremony.
And today is much more lively than in previous years, because in addition to the priest ceremony, the high priest's granddaughter also chooses a wishful husband after the priest ceremony.
Therefore, not only hundreds of thousands of citizens from the Gu Ji City gathered in front of the priest's hall today, but also young talents from big families who rushed over from nearby cities, all hoping to win the favor of the priest's daughter and become the grandson-in-law of the high priest.
After listening to Jia Junnan's narration, Ling Xiao couldn't help but whisper in his heart. It seems that this Gu Sacrifice City is really a mysterious place, and it has become an independent city without being annexed by other sects. The priest sounded a bit bluffing, but he didn't know what the high priest's granddaughter looked like.
Ling Xiao asked Jia Junnan, he had never seen it before, but according to him, even if the high priest's granddaughter was a pig's head, he would be willing to marry the high priest's granddaughter as his wife.
Because getting the high priest's granddaughter as his wife is also recognized by the high priest, which is the highest honor in the Gu Ji City, and at the same time, he will also receive the high priest's grace, and he will be on the rise.
About half an hour later, Ling Xiao and Jia Junnan arrived in front of the priest's hall.
Ling Xiao took a look, and saw that men, women and children were already kneeling in front of Ruoda's square, with extremely solemn expressions, and a large area of darkness shocked Ling Xiao.
There were bursts of strange sounds in the ancient and sacred hall not far from the square, as if they could attract everyone's thoughts.
"I didn't expect this high priest to be so popular among the people." Ling Xiao couldn't help but secretly said in his heart.
"Brother Ling, get down on your knees, the sacrificial hall ceremony is about to begin." Jia Junnan pulled Ling Xiao's clothes and said seriously.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, but chose to kneel in a corner with Jia Junnan.
Jia Junnan also entered into a state of worship like everyone else, while Ling Xiao half-closed his eyes to see how divine this high priest is, who can be so respected by so many city residents.
After a treacherous sound, two groups of people wearing black robes slowly walked out from the hall. They are all similar, and each of them holds a scepter that exudes dazzling light in their hands.
Looking at these people, Ling Xiao was even more shocked. These two teams, each with about 20 people, forty people in total, each of them has the strength not lower than that of a spiritual master.
"This Gu Sacrifice City really has something extraordinary." Ling Xiao secretly became careful.
Just the sacrificial guard team is all masters of the spirit master team, it can be seen that the strength of Gu Jicheng is definitely not weaker than any sect.
After the two teams lined up on the left and right, they all held up the scepters in their hands, pressed their left hands on their chests, and bent their heads slightly downward.
Immediately afterwards, eight more people came out. These eight people and the priest guard team were all wearing black robes, but the left and right sides of their robes were rusted with two brocade patterns like dragons and snakes. Just by looking at their clothes, anyone could tell It can be concluded that the identities of these eight people are much more noble than the forty guardians.
At the same time, these eight people were separated in four corners, carrying a huge black iron cage, in which was locked an extremely ferocious and terrifying spirit beast.
This spirit beast has a head like a mang snake, a body like a lion and a leopard, with four wings and a snake tail covered with sharp thorns.
Its four wings and two giant feet were heavily locked by gold and steel chains, only the bloodthirsty mouth kept making strange screams of unwillingness.
"Eight...eight king ranks, this... this is too scary, and the flying snake spirit beast that has reached the fourth rank, it's simply too terrifying." Ling Xiao was once again shocked by everything in front of him.
The strength of the eight people who carried the spirit beasts made Ling Xiao unable to see through them, so they at least had the strength of the king rank, and the spirit beasts they carried were clearly extremely rare flying snake spirit beasts, which had reached A terrifying spirit beast of the fourth rank.
Eight people carried the Flying Snake Beast and placed it on the open space in the middle of the square.
Six more people walked out from behind, and the two who walked in the front were the most attractive.
A man is old, with a long beard reaching his chest, long eyebrows covering his face, a beige crown on his head, a stooped body, holding a scepter in his hand, and walking slowly; Silk scarves, a brocade crown with red feathers on the headband, revealing a graceful and noble temperament, dressed in transparent yellow satin, faintly visible ### covered by the black cloth strips, the wheat-colored healthy skin is less A bit smooth and delicate, but a bit more wild and seductive.
Behind one old and one young, are four old men dressed in one gold, one silver, one yellow and one gray. These old men followed behind respectfully, holding trays in their hands. s things.
As soon as these people walked out of the square, the standing forty guards and the eight guardians all knelt down and said respectfully, "Welcome the high priest, welcome the priestess!".
After the sound sounded, everyone on the square worshiped and shouted respectfully, "Welcome to the high priest, welcome to the priestess!".
The voices of hundreds of thousands of people are as loud and shocking as the morning bell of an ancient tomb!
After calling several times in a row, all voices fell silent.
Behind the old and the young, an old man in a golden robe came out and said loudly, "The city sacrifice ceremony begins!".
Then, there was another weird playing sound.
The eight guardians carrying the Flying Snake opened the black iron cage, and the eight of them threw the Flying Snake, which was more than ten meters long, into the air.
Immediately afterwards, eight people shot at the same time, and eight powerful spiritual powers struck towards the flying snake beast like sharp knives.
Ding Ding!
The eight people didn't shoot to kill the Flying Snake Beast, but broke all the gold and steel chains that locked the Flying Snake Beast.
"Yo!" The Flying Snake Beast was able to get out of trouble, let out a neighing sound, and flew towards the sky to escape.
"My people, let the gods bless my Gu Ji City to break the ancestral curse of all ages as soon as possible, and may my Gu Ji City prosper and enjoy peace forever..." The old man with the yellow crown slowly rose into the air, Holding the scepter high in his hand, he read the words in his heart.
His voice is like Sanskrit, which can make people intoxicated, lose their minds, and have yearning fantasies.
After reading a paragraph, the flying snake beast flew to nowhere.
Unexpectedly, at this time the old man exclaimed, "Blood sacrifice to my city, break the curse of eternal life, and protect my city of eternal life!".
call out!
The scepter in the old man's hand exudes a dazzling light, exuding a holy light.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, making the sound of a thunderbolt explosion.
Boom!
Yo!
A scream shocked the entire audience, and a pool of blood rained down from the sky, sprinkled on the heads of the crowd.
