Chapter 806: Worshiping the Moon and Eating Buddha
Around the cauldron, there were nine people in dharma robes gathered around, all with solemn expressions. They were either beating wooden fish, turning prayer wheels, reciting mantras, or dancing prayer flags.
Surrounding them were a group of thieves sitting cross-legged. Some were wearing silk and satin, while others were wearing tattered clothes. However, they all had a solemn expression at the moment, and they were chanting the Black Lotus Cult's "murder" in unison.
Scripture.
This scene looks like some kind of special, evil ritual is going on!
At the same time, it also made everyone sure: "These bandits are really the demons of the Black Lotus Cult!"
Monk Ma, Zhu Xiucai and others, whose eyesight is not as good as Qin Shaoyou's, used the firelight in the village to watch for a long time before they discovered that there was a person cooking in the big pot. After looking for a while, they realized that the person in the pot was what they wanted
I found Monk Daoming.
"These monsters are going to cook and eat Monk Daoming?!" They couldn't help but be shocked.
Qin Shaoyou raised his hand and pointed toward the outside of the village, and said with a livid face: "They are not the only ones cooking the food. Monk Daoming, look over there."
Everyone looked in the direction of Qin Shaoyou's finger, and through the firelight inside the cottage, they vaguely saw many bones scattered on the slope outside the cottage.
Because they were far away and the sky was dark, most of the bones could not be distinguished, but the skulls whose Tianling Caps were knocked open were clearly visible to everyone!
It's a human skull!
And there are a lot of them, there are hundreds of them when everyone sees them!
Maybe there are more that were taken away by wild beasts in the mountains! This shows that the monsters in the village killed many people!
Of course, what shocked everyone even more was that these demons not only killed people, but also ate them!
Qin Qiaoer gritted her teeth with hatred, suppressed her anger, and said in a low voice: "As far as I know, in the Black Lotus Sect, in addition to the magic skills of killing people, there is also a set of evil methods of cannibalism and enlightenment. Generally speaking, black
Most of the demons of the Lotus Cult practice the murderous demonic arts, and few cannibalize the demons. Unexpectedly, the demons of the Black Lotus Cult in this village actually practice two evil arts at the same time, but they are better than the average demons of the Black Lotus Cult.
, and you deserve to be killed, damn it!”
Qin Shaoyou nodded slightly, agreeing with Sixth Sister's words.
"They practice murder and eat people. These people have committed acts of dehumanization and can no longer be considered human beings! Tonight, we must kill these demons and avenge the people they harmed!"
Everyone nodded in unison. First, they were aroused by the Black Lotus Sect monster in the village. Then, they were aroused by the words of Qin Qiaoer and Qin Shaoyou. They wanted to rush into the village immediately and kill all these people.
A human cult monster.
But Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer did not immediately order an attack.
They called Cui Youyou, Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu, Qiurong, Qiu Shi and Cen Biqing to them, and asked them to use their souls, poisonous insects, and snakes to investigate the inside and outside of the village to see if there were any hidden sentries or traps, and click on them at the same time.
Find out the number and approximate strength of this group of monsters.
Although their group is not weak in strength, they are small after all. Judging from the situation, this place is probably a stronghold of the Black Lotus. Only by investigating the situation clearly and making sufficient arrangements before taking action can we maximize the chance of victory and minimize casualties!
As the saying goes, a lion fights a rabbit, only with full strength and caution can you make the ten thousand year ship!
While Cui Yougui, Su Jianqing and others were conducting investigations, Qin Shaoyou and the others were not idle. They continued to observe the situation in the stronghold by the light of the fire, and based on the terrain, they planned an assault and killing route.
At this moment, Monk Ma expressed a doubt: "This group of monsters killed Monk Dao Ming in the afternoon and brought Monk Dao Ming's body back to the village in the evening at the latest. Why are they still cooking it now?"
Boil the body of Monk Daoming?"
Qin Shaoyou squinted his eyes and observed for a moment, then said: "You see, when they were cooking Monk Dao Ming, they were still performing a ceremony, which shows that they not only wanted to eat Monk Dao Ming's meat, but also wanted to take away Monk Dao Ming's body."
Buddha nature and Buddha light. I guess it is difficult to capture this Buddha nature and Buddha light during the day. Only when night falls and the night completely blocks the sunlight can we have a chance."
Monk Ma thought for a while, nodded and said, "That makes sense."
"Maybe there is another reason."
Qin Qiaoer raised his head, looked at the full moon in the night sky, and recalled:
"When I was in the capital, I consulted many secret files of the Black Lotus Sect. Several of the pieces of information pointed to a special moon worship ritual that the Black Lotus Sect has that can use the power of the Blood Moon for its own use. Today.
It happens to be sixteen, which is when the blood moon is at its fullest in a month. And tonight, the night sky is cloudless, so there is no need to worry about the blood moon being obscured. The demons of the Black Lotus Sect are probably performing a moon worship ceremony at this moment.
, I want to use the power of the blood moon to absorb the Buddha nature and Buddha light in Monk Daoming."
Judging from the situation in front of him, Qin Qiaoer's analysis and speculation are extremely possible.
Qin Shaoyou looked even more stunned and whispered: "I have been wondering before, since this group of monsters from the Black Lotus Sect wanted to kill Monk Daoming, why didn't they kill him sooner rather than later, but why did they kill him after we met him? I
I originally thought that their target was us, and they wanted to use the death of Monk Daoming to lure us into a trap. But at this moment, after seeing the situation in the village, I felt that it was not the case. Now after listening to Sixth Sister’s words
, the doubts in my heart have just been solved. This group of monsters from the Black Lotus Sect are not coming for us, it is just a coincidence that the moon is full and cloudless today."
While they were discussing, Cui Youyou, Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu, Qiurong, Cen Biqing, Qiu Shi and others all used their own methods to get information.
The reason why it went so smoothly without being noticed by the Black Lotus Sect demons in the village was because these demons were busy with the moon worship ceremony. At the same time, they did not expect that someone would dare to go up the mountain in the dark in the middle of the night and even reach outside their village.
"Two commanders, we have found that there are more than 300 demons from the Black Lotus Sect in the stronghold. Most of them are participating in the moon worship ceremony, and a few are on guard duty."
"My little cuties have found many hidden sentries in the woods around the mountain stronghold. They are currently watching them in the dark with General Cen's group of snakes, ready to take action at any time."
"There are indeed several magic circles in the cottage. When I spied on them with my soul, I quietly made some moves."
"Looking at the strength of these Black Lotus Sect demons, I am afraid that most of them were bewitched and developed after the chaos in Xinglong Mansion. Although they practiced murder and cannibalism at the same time, their cultivation level is not high, and there are even
Part of it is at the level of ordinary people. Only the ferocity and bloodthirsty are stronger than ordinary people. But the nine people gathered around the cauldron should be quite powerful. My soul is not only in them.
On my body, I saw a ferocious aura that was as thick as real substance, and I also saw countless evil ghosts being imprisoned and enslaved by them."
After listening to everyone's reports, combined with some of their own observations, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer had a clearer understanding of the situation inside and outside the village, as well as the strength of the Black Lotus Sect demons, and made battle plans accordingly.
After informing everyone about the plan, Qin Shaoyou glanced at them and asked in a low voice: "Is there any problem?"
Everyone responded in a low voice: "No."
"Then proceed as planned."
Following Qin Shaoyou's order, everyone immediately dispersed and lurked around the stronghold under the cover of the night and the mountains.
Cui Youyou was about to carry out the battle deployment, but Qin Shaoyou stopped him and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Cui, wait a moment, I have something important to ask you to do..."
