Ning Qiying did not dare to neglect, walked forward, and together with the others, knelt down to the statue of the evil priest sitting cross-legged on the nine-story tower in the center of the cave. At the same time, he quietly began to carefully look at the situation around the cave with the corner of his eye.
In addition to these ordinary believers in various attires who were kneeling on the ground in the cave, there was also a circle of men in black robes of different heights standing around the cave wall.
The large black robes completely covered their figures and appearances, making them look extremely strange in the dark environment. They did not look like humans, but rather like fierce ghosts.
Ning Qiying could feel that there were eyes coming from under those black robes, scanning and alerting everything around them.
In addition, there are strange bloody portals appearing in the void around the cave. One by one, believers walk into the cave through the portal and join the crowd of people who are fervently kneeling. When the believers pass through the portal, the portal
It will slowly fade away and disappear.
After continuously observing the appearance of more than a dozen portals, Ning Qiying discovered that generally two different twisted characters would appear on each of these portals.
They are "death" and "surprise" respectively.
"The men in black robes around us should be higher-level members of this organization. If we can find a way to catch one, we should be able to get some core information."
"The looming portal is indeed similar to the product of the combination of some evil object and the escape channel. It is really magical and unheard of. Moreover, the shape of the portal is very similar to the shape of the eight doors on the first floor of the nine-story tower. What does this mean?
"
"Also, what is the purpose of this behind-the-scenes organization gathering people together? Is it holding an evil gathering? Under the current strict investigation situation, they are not worried about things being exposed? They should have recently moved their believers. In some places
There is a missing person, does it seem to be related to this?"
"The situation seems not to be good. The methods displayed by the organization behind the scenes are definitely above the level of supernatural power. It is difficult for me to deal with it."
Through observation, Ning Qiying secretly summarized a lot of information in her heart, and felt a sense of crisis in her heart.
Although the Twelve Earthly Branches of the Tianluosi were not selected based on their combat prowess, she was still a real innate warrior. However, even an innate warrior would find it difficult to make waves in front of masters in the magical power realm.
The master's method of turning loose beans into soldiers, manifesting the yang spirit, and making the law appear in the world has reached a point where it is truly unfathomable.
What is supernatural power?
That is the method that only true gods can possess.
But in the current situation, a group of men in black robes were watching eagerly, and it was unknown whether there were experts spying secretly. She did not dare to do anything unusual, otherwise she might be exposed immediately.
We can only take one step at a time.
About half an hour passed, and dozens of believers gathered in the cave one after another, forming a full circle around the cave, with nearly five hundred people in total.
Ning Qiying looked around. On the left was a middle-aged man who looked a little rich. Judging from his clothes, his family seemed to be very well-off. On the right was an old woman with wrinkles all over her face and very simple clothes.
The two of them knelt on the ground, with a strange fanaticism on their faces, and their mouths opened and closed as if they were whispering something.
"It's not as simple as ordinary evil beliefs. Their consciousness may have been infected by some weird power."
Ning Qiying recalled Zhang Qiufen's behavior after his arrest, and was not surprised by this.
Evil priests can affect people's consciousness. As the number of evil priests' gatherings increases, this influence will gradually deepen and lead to irreversible madness.
As for why these people were bewitched by evil priests, most of them were initially unable to withstand the temptation.
Either in order to cure diseases, or to make money by transferring money, or to achieve success. Under the temptation of various desires, evil priests came to them and gave them some sweetness, so they would fall deeper and deeper into the trap.
After everyone arrived, another half-quarter of an hour passed. Eight bloody portals suddenly appeared in eight directions of the cave. Eight men in black robes walked out of the bloody portals, stepping lightly on the footsteps of the worshipers who were prostrated.
Turn your back and quickly walk towards the high platform in the center.
Yeah! Yeah!
Clear cries echoed in the cave, and Ning Qiying only then saw that in the hands of the eight black-robed men, each held a baby waiting to be fed.
Her face suddenly twitched, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.
call!
Suddenly, another bloody portal appeared in front of the high altar, and a tall man in black robe walked out of the portal.
"The demon appears and the world collapses."
"Heaven has no kindness, and the earth has no way."
"Evil is the body, Yin is the bones."
"Climb the Yin Tower to avoid disaster."
"Save the common people with flesh and blood."
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Saint, the Great Compassionate and the Great Compassionate, the true ruler of all evils in the ten directions and the Three Realms!!"
After the tall man in black robes, whose face could not be seen clearly, walked out of the Blood Gate, he opened his arms towards the people who were kneeling and recited an evil edict in a gloomy and strange voice.
word.
As the sound spread, the entire cave underwent inexplicable and terrifying changes. The twisted blood-colored runes on the cave wall seemed to have gained life, and began to squirm and flow. I don't know if it was reality or an illusion.
Along with the rotation of the blood-colored runes, the bloody light in the gloomy cave was flickering. Together with the flowing runes, it gave people an extremely weird feeling.
He was in a trance, his energy and blood were running unconsciously, and illusions seemed to appear around him.
A strong feeling of mania and excitement spread throughout the body, and even Ning Qiying, an innate warrior, was affected at this time.
"The demon appears and the world collapses."
"Heaven has no kindness, and the earth has no way."
"."
However, Ning Qiying was able to control herself, but the ordinary believers around him could not. These people reacted excitedly and suddenly stood up from the ground. Their eyes were bloodshot, their expressions looked a bit weird and ferocious, and they repeated the eulogy like a hysterical roar.
Ning Qiying's expression changed slightly, and she stood up immediately, controlled her expression, and pretended to recite in a low voice.
She saw that the eight men in black robes holding babies had arrived in front of the high platform. The tall man in black robes stretched out his hand and tapped the high platform. It seemed that some kind of mechanism had been triggered, and a figure appeared on the high platform.
Eight grooves.
The eight men in black robes put the struggling and crying baby in their hands into the groove, and then, the tall man in black robes tapped the high platform again.
Snapped!!
Accompanied by a soft sound, which seemed to include the sound of flesh and bone exploding, the baby's cry suddenly stopped.
Gulu gulu!!
Then, scarlet blood flowed down the water tank on the high platform.
In the cave, the blood-colored light became more intense, and the right arm of the Yin Mother statue on the nine-story tower seemed to be made of blood jade, becoming scarleter.
"The demon appears!! The world collapses!!"
"Heaven has no mercy!! Earth has no mercy!!"
"."
All the believers fell into extreme fanaticism, without any sense of guilt. They only felt that some kind of shackles in their hearts had been released.
"These beasts!!"
A ferocious look flashed in Ning Qiying's eyes, but before she could react, the tall man in black robes spoke again in a voice that sounded like chanting.
"The time has come when I need you to donate. Give your flesh, blood, and soul, and merge with the Yin Mother. You will be reborn in another world, immortal, disease-free, and disaster-free. Death is life, and life is death!!"
The voice of the man in black robes echoed in the cave, and then the circle of men in black robes surrounding the cave wall moved.
They opened their black robes, revealing weapons that shone with cold light, but they did not take action. Instead, they pulled out the weapons and threw them towards the group of believers who had fallen into a state of madness.
Weapons were picked up one by one by the believers.
Poof!!
When the first believer plunged his weapon into the body of the person next to him in a state of madness, the surging blood, the pungent stench, and the crazy killing intent instantly seemed like a powder keg was lit.
Everyone was fighting and fighting together crazily. The thick blood flowed to the ground, and vines that looked like blood vessels grew out, rapidly sucking up the flesh and blood scattered on the ground.
"Oh no!!"
Ning Qiying avoided the attacks of several fanatical believers around her, and her expression changed drastically.
She did not expect that the other party convened a gathering of believers, neither to transfer believers, nor to pass down some instructions, nor was it a regular evil ritual activity, but to use the believers as blood food and provide the evil priest statues!!
Believers are the foundation for the existence of evil priests, and this crazy approach is almost killing themselves. Or, because of the exposure of intelligence, they are ready to completely abandon the evil priest behavior in Heqingdao and carry out a comprehensive transfer?!
You must know that the transfer of evil sacrifices is not as simple as simply moving the statues of evil sacrifices and transporting them to other places.
The transfer of the complete statue of the evil priest is bound to be accompanied by a lot of movement. Even if there are masters of escape techniques in the supernatural realm, this kind of movement will be extremely difficult to hide. Otherwise, the accidental exposure of the statue of the evil priest in Guming County, with the help of the organization behind the scenes,
ability, it is impossible to let it be dealt with without taking action.
It’s not that I don’t want to take action, it’s that I can’t take action!
Now, two of the six pillars have arrived, and spies from all walks of life are all over Heqing Road. Any slightest move will be exposed. The risk of moving the evil statue at this time is unimaginable.
It is almost inevitable to confront the imperial power.
This group of people behind the scenes are preparing to have a head-on collision with Liuzhu, who has been appointed by the emperor?!
This discovery made her feel cold all over. Such information was crucial and had to be passed on no matter what. Moreover, now that believers were killing each other, she could no longer hide it.
Immediately use emergency contact methods to spread the news, and then find a way to escape from this place. Even if you cannot escape, you must hold on for at least a while. With the magical powers of those two adults, there must be a way to lock her position and protect her safety.
However, just when she was about to take action.
"Hehehe, as expected, there are still 'rats' sneaking in. Let me tell you, the risk of being exposed by devouring believers is very high at this time."
An eerie child's laughter sounded in Ning Qiying's ears. At this moment, her body seemed to be under a restraining spell and it was difficult to move. Strange palms stretched out from the ground, as if she had escaped from hell.
His ghostly hands tightly wrapped around her body.
She twisted her head with difficulty and found that at some point, two men in black robes and cloaks were standing in a corner of the cave.
One of them was very short, like a child, and the other was as tall as an iron tower. It was the child who spoke at this time.
Master of magical powers?!
Ning Qiying understood immediately. She judged the current situation with determination, and her eyes showed the will to die.
Even if you die, you must take the information here out!
This is her responsibility as the twelve earthly branches of Tianluosi.
What's more, these beasts who associate with evil should receive the punishment they deserve!
boom!!
She seemed to have activated some kind of secret technique, and a dark-colored Yuanqi light suddenly erupted from her body, and blood overflowed from her seven orifices.
As her Yuan Qi exploded and the disguise of the transformation technique was lifted, her figure became taller and her skin became fairer. The face of a middle-aged woman that originally belonged to Zhang Qiufen revealed a short-haired, heroic face.
face.
The ghost hands wrapped around her body were broken free in this momentary explosion. She reached out and touched her heart, as if to trigger some kind of hidden spell.
However, the next moment, a sense of powerlessness flooded her whole body. Her fair and tight skin quickly wrinkled and shriveled, the black hair on her head fell off in clumps, the clothes on her body aged rapidly and became filthy, and a fishy smell flowed from her armpits.
The smell of pus and body was nauseating, and even in her consciousness, she felt a sense of self-loathing.
Disaster Technique·Five Decline of Heaven and Man!
Under the terrifying magical powers of masters in the supernatural realm, she was only an innate warrior and not good at direct confrontation, and she had little power to resist.
Puff! Puff!!
Ghostly hands pierced into her decaying body, and her spirit and consciousness were rapidly blurring.
"One of the twelve earthly branches of the Tianluosi? A mere innate warrior can sneak into this level without being exposed. The imperial court does have many talents, and his position was almost exposed."
"Wouldn't the corpse be absorbed by the statue? The flesh and blood of an innate warrior is the best blood food."
"That's not necessary. Among the two people who came this time, one is Xuanping Hou Jince. You should also know something about that man's magical powers."
"Is the Nine Sealings of the Universe? It is indeed a monster-like ability. It can ignore the cost to the maximum extent when the emperor's life is attached. It is indeed tricky. It seems that some information may have to be exposed this time."
"It doesn't matter. We'll be prepared before taking action. They won't be able to detect our presence for a while."
"Then, let's get rid of the body. Leaving it here will be very troublesome."
"certainly."
At the end of her consciousness, Ning Qiying heard some intermittent conversations, and then she was completely submerged into the boundless darkness, never to wake up.
the other side.
Fusi, Qingdao Town, Tianluosi River.
Yang Zhongyuan was drinking tea with the two people at this time. As the envoy of Heqingdao Town, he was sitting at the second table and personally making tea for the other two people.
One of them was tall and rough-looking. He was not wearing an official uniform, but a black robe. He had a beard on his face and black hair shawl. Just sitting there gave people a terrifying oppression.
One of the six pillars of the imperial court, Wei Lie Hou, Wan Fa Yan.
The other person is wearing a white robe, with a medium build, a face like a crown jewel, and a handsome figure. He looks like a handsome young man whose age cannot be seen, but his eyes are extremely deep.
One of the six pillars of the imperial court, Xuan Pinghou and Jin Ce.
A few people were drinking tea and talking about the latest situation of He Qingdao's investigation. Suddenly, the man in white robe with a crown-like face frowned slightly, attracting the attention of Yang Zhongyuan and Wan Fayan.
