Chapter 465 Liang State Lion Dance Palace and Death Worship (Original)
In the following plot, Li Huowang learned from Sun Baolu that there is another force in Qingqiu - the Lion Dance Palace.
The Lion Dance Palace has appeared in the previous comic plot.
That was after Li Huowang used the Great Thousand Records to place the intercalary five elements.
Danyangzi occupied his body to restore the internal organs that were sacrificed to perform the intercalary five elements.
He used the magical power called the Lion Dance Palace Five Internal Organs Evil Art to replace the five internal organs with the head of the five elements.
The Lion Dance Palace had already appeared once at that time.
When Li Huowang contacted the people of the Lion Dance Palace again this time, he found that all the disciples of the Lion Dance Palace were weird people with more hands than feet.
After sending Sun Baolu home, he saw that Sun Baolu was treated well by his family.
Li Huowang and others were very happy about this. Finally, one of their companions had a good ending.
When they were about to go to the next destination, Liangguo, the hometown of Bai Lingmiao, Sun Baolu's mother told them that Liangguo was not a good place.
She also came from Liang, but it was different from the paradise that Bai Lingmiao had mentioned.
Although Liang was known for its abundance of food and clothing, it was actually a place of extravagance and indulgence.
The extremely perverted ways of playing with beauty paper, beauty bowl, flesh screen, etc., showed that it was a place with a huge gap between the rich and the poor.
"An ancient version of Night City..."
Feng Yiyuan said with emotion, "Beauty bowl, flesh screen, this is based on the deeds of the Yan family in the Ming Dynasty, so Liang is equivalent to a country like the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty."
In the comics, Li Huowang was more certain that in this completely crazy world, there was no paradise at all.
It was just a little bit worse, or even worse.
But the journey had to continue. No matter what, Li Huowang had to send his companions home and see what happened next.
However, at this moment, Li Huowang returned to the modern world again.
He continued to confront the new doctor Wang Wei, after a "breakdown" from the perspective of his companions.
In the modern world, Li Huowang's doctor and family seemed to have left, and he returned to normal.
However, just when Li Huowang was struggling with mixed emotions.
He found that the puppy Mantou he had adopted before was holding a piece of black Tai Sui in his mouth, which he was very familiar with... Black Tai Sui!
Black Tai Sui that could help him temporarily get rid of the influence of the modern world!
Then Li Huowang immediately ordered Mantou to take him and his companions to find Black Tai Sui. Because Sun Baolu was a local, he also joined the ranks of helping him find Black Tai Sui.
Under the leadership of Mantou, they came to a cave.
But they found many dead goat corpses in the cave, and even some mummies.
Looking at their shriveled faces and bodies covered with dust but still intact, they should have been lost in this cave and trapped to death.
However, Li Huowang was very cautious. After carefully approaching, he drew out the Tai'a sword.
With a "click", the two dried goat corpses on the ground were instantly torn into two halves by Li Huowang's sword, and the black dried internal organs that looked like coal balls rolled out.
Li Huowang did not give up and stepped on it directly.
Facing the puzzled eyes of his companions, he said, "Who knows... whether these two things are dead or not. What if they block our retreat or attack us by surprise? Then we are all finished!"
"Hahaha, the protagonist is really cautious, interesting."
Feng Yiyuan saw this scene and felt a little funny. He said.
It is really rare to see such a cautious protagonist, but he has a kind of neurotic feeling of paranoia.
It can only be said that Li Huowang has experienced so many things, especially after experiencing the things of Zuowang Dao, now he really does not trust this world at all.
Let alone a passing dog, even a piece of grass that popped out, he was afraid that he would turn his sword into a plow and plow the ground three feet before he would feel at ease.
With such caution, Li Huowang and his party went deep into the cave again.
There were nearly hundreds of sheep corpses in the cave. At the beginning, Li Huowang continued to be cautious and crushed the sheep corpses to ashes just in case.
But he also gave up later, because... he couldn't chop them all, he couldn't chop them all!
Just like that, after going deeper for a distance, they finally saw no more sheep.
Instead, something new appeared in front of them, a huge bronze tripod that looked as high as a floor.
The huge bronze tripod was covered with green rust and dust, and it looked like it had been there for a long time.
Li Huowang slowly circled around the giant tripod, and when he saw the white jade plates and the three animals that were rotten to the bones behind the tripod,
"Someone is offering sacrifices to something."
He asserted.
The tripod was originally used as a sacrificial instrument, and these endless dead sheep spread from the front of the tripod to the entrance of the cave. It was obvious that someone was using them to sacrifice to an unknown existence.
But...
"Isn't it said that this is the territory of evil spirits? Why is there such a solemn worship ceremony? Is it all done by those evil spirits?"
Li Huowang said puzzledly, "If it is true, then what are they worshipping?"
But at this moment...
"Ah--!!"
Bai Lingmiao suddenly panicked, hugged the two gods beside him, and screamed.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Huowang immediately took full precautions, drew out the Tai'a sword, and alertly protected Bai Lingmiao.
Others also took out their weapons, ready to fight at any time.
"Sheep! Sheep!"
Bai Lingmiao pointed tremblingly at the darkness on the left and said with fear in her eyes.
"Let me take a look."
Li Huowang immediately took the lead and walked towards that side vigilantly. The fluorescent stone in his hand illuminated something in the darkness... These were some sheep corpses.
But the sheep corpses here are completely different from the previous sheep corpses. The mummies here are all half-human and half-goat deformities!
An old man fell at Li Huowang's feet, with spiral horns sticking out of his cheeks.
Before he died, he tried desperately to touch his face with those two hooves, but in the end he died at the last moment of his struggle.
Next to him is another sheep corpse, or rather a human corpse. The upper body is a skinned lamb, but the lower body is a deformed body twisted in circles. The bent hooves move forward with twisted kneecaps. One stretches backwards like a branch.
This scene is full of grotesque beauty.
A touch of ice flashed across Feng Yiyuan's spine.
Sudden……
"No! Those are not sheep carcasses, those are people!"
Li Huowang quickly rushed to the cauldron, stared at the rows of sheep corpses with wide eyes, and said in shock, "They were transformed into sheep by others. They are all sacrifices!"
This time, it was even more scary.
"Transform people into sheep?!"
Feng Yiyuan suddenly thought of something and said, "Two-legged sheep?"
After realizing that these sheep were transformed by humans, the entire nature of the cave became completely different.
No longer were people sacrificing thousands of sheep for sacrifice.
But someone killed thousands of people here just to worship something!
So what are some of these human sacrifices?
The answer is self-evident...
It is definitely some kind of evil spirit, some kind of terrifying evil spirit like the God of God!
Li Huowang was immediately considering whether to continue looking for Black Tai Sui. After all, if it was really some kind of terrifying evil spirit like the God of Sin...
Now that he doesn't have a cheap master like Dan Yangzi who is a half-immortal, there is no way he can be his opponent.
And his friends... he must also consider that if he continues to search, if he encounters that kind of evil god, it will be too late.
"Senior Brother Li, this is wrong."
At this time, Sun Baolu suddenly said: "Look at the arrangement of the sheep, cattle and pig heads on the plate. They are placed upside down. These offerings are for these dead sheep."
"They are not worshiping gods? But they are worshiping these sheep?"
Li Huowang looked at the location of the sacrifice at this time, and it was exactly as Sun Baolu said.
"Is it for the goat god? Lao Sun, do you have a goat god in Qingqiu?"
Gouwa asked from the side.
"Sheep are animals, why should we worship animals as gods? Qingqiu doesn't have such rules."
The evil Buddha in Zhengde Temple, the suffering bastard in Nestorianism, and the rotten Bodhisattva in Anci Temple.
All the gods and Buddhas in this world that Li Huowang had seen appeared one by one.
Sudden……
"I see!"
Li Huowang suddenly realized, "They are not worshiping these sheep. These sheep are just props for the objects they need to worship. They are worshiping death, they are worshiping death itself!"
"I see... If that's the case, then it's true."
Feng Yiyuan nodded immediately and understood a little, and said, "There is nothing more important in life than life and death. The original sacrifice was just to worship life and death at the beginning."
But at this moment, something unexpected happened!
"Da da da..."
The sound of wood being struck carried a certain melody, with echoes coming from all directions.
Li Huowang became alert instantly, and then began to listen to the sound to identify the location.
"Found it! It's...up there!!"
Li Huowang quickly raised his head, looked at the dark upper end, quickly raised the fluorescent stone in his hand and threw it directly in the direction of the sound.
With the glowstone firmly stuck between the cracks at the top!
And in the darkness illuminated by the light, a human face larger than the round table suddenly appeared in front of them through the green fluorescence.
It was a man's face with extremely flat features. His face was pale and his mouth was wide open.
Two red and white pupils as big as light holes stared intently at Li Huowang and others below.
But what's even more terrifying is...
There were no limbs or torso behind the man's neck, only a long body like a caterpillar, with large and small hands holding up the white cloth.
Li Huowang also found the source of that uninterrupted wood knocking sound...
"It came from his long body!"
he said with sudden realization.
At the same time, Li Huowang also saw it...
"Is he from the Lion Dance Palace?"
Li Huowang looked at this strange man in his heart and began to guess.
"Is this the lion dance of the Lion Dance Palace? No, it is not a lion dance! There is no lion dance that does not have a lion head on its head, but a flat dead face?!"
"Is it them? Were they responsible for the grand sacrificial ceremony just now? Could it be that they are not the Lion Dance Palace, but the Death Dance Palace?"
After thinking for a long time.
"Masters of the Lion Dance Palace, please be polite to me, Xuanyang. I have no intention of offending you when I pass by this treasured place this time. It is just a matter of fact."
Li Huowang decided to be courteous first, and said politely, "Because I need a black Tai Sui as a medicine guide to make elixirs. I heard that there is a precious treasure, so I came to look for it. If the masters can help me find one, I will be very grateful!" "
However, the other party remained indifferent and just looked at them.
But at this moment...
A black shadow suddenly came from behind Li Huowang, and he didn't react at all!
As a result, he was hit hard and flew out by a huge force.
only……
Li Huowang grinned on the ground, but the red Daqianlu on his back was exposed.
Before that, he had embedded Daqianlu into the skin of his back, which was equivalent to wearing a piece of armor on his back.
At this time, he saw what sneaked up on him. It was also another lion dance. The only difference from the lion dance on the ceiling was that its flat face was the face of a woman with black eyes and a blood-red mouth. !
"Master You!"
Li Huowang immediately took out the copper bell and summoned Mr. You to come out to fight.
At this moment, Bai Lingmiao also performed the master dance again, and the other partners also held weapons and began to fight with the lion dancer.
At the same time, Li Huowang also used the magical power of Daqianlu——
"Daqianlu magical power...sacrificial finger dart!"
Before Li Huowang could finish, he cut off two of his fingers again.
Sharp bone spurs emerged from the swollen fingers, spun and flew towards the lion dancer.
Along with the sound of tearing flesh and blood, the thick black blood slowly flowed down the naked feet of the lion dancer.
But the lion dance girl still wanted to attack.
but……
"Daqianlu magical power... tooth sacrificial bullet!"
A pair of pig iron pliers appeared in Li Huowang's hand. He put it into his mouth and pulled hard, pulling out the two back molars.
The white teeth rolled and flew over and exploded suddenly. Bai Sui was easily cut off by the flying broken teeth and fell weakly to the ground.
The other party immediately wanted to run away.
However……
"Daqianlu magical power... tooth sacrificial bullet!"
Li Huowang used his magical power again, and his teeth hit the lion dance girl's vitals like bullets.
Then the other party fell to the ground.
Just looking at the lion dance girl who had fallen to the ground, Li Huowang jumped on the lion's head, raised his sword and slashed hard with his sword. He then cut around the edge of the huge dead face and peeled off the entire skin. .
Then, he finally saw the inner body structure of the lion dance.
The entire lion dance is integrated. Whether it is the hands supporting the lion's body or the feet moving underneath, they are all derived from a twisted and fearful creature.
Inside the bloody lion dance are various organs suspended by blood vessels.
Whether this creature is man-made or natural, it looks quite terrifying.
"Oh my god, what is this?"
Goudan stared at this scene in shock.
However, at this time, Li Huowang used the Tai'a sword to carefully pull at the organs inside the flesh, as if he was looking for something.
"Senior Brother Li, what are you looking for?"
Goudan asked curiously.
"Looking for death."
Li Huowang said seriously at this time.
"What?"
"Zhengde Temple believes in flesh and blood Buddha, so they can use flesh and blood. The nuns in Anci'an have rotten bodies, so they use rot."
Li Huowang explained, "The one worshiping death on the giant cauldron was death, so it should be... something is wrong! This lion dance just didn't use death to perform magical powers!"
"unless……"
He stared at the strange bronze cauldron with wide eyes and said, "Besides the Lion Dance Palace, are there other sects here?!"
