Tian Deping took out a talisman with complex patterns from his arms.
Holding it in your hand, the talisman will burn spontaneously without being lit. This talisman is used to attract the attention of the ancient gods.
Tian Deping sang in a low voice: "Great Black Wind God of Black Wind Mountain, I offer a pure sacrifice, hoping that you will see me, watch me, and listen to me."
The darkroom suddenly lit up, like it was on fire.
Immediately afterwards, several screams came from inside.
A strange light flashed, and the room became dark again, falling into dead silence.
The smell of blood wafted out from the crack in the door, giving me the illusion of entering a slaughterhouse.
Wang Wei's chest thumped, as if his heart had been grabbed hard by someone's hand.
Gao Junya smelled the smell of blood, which was extremely pungent.
His eyes widened, and he immediately understood. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he rushed forward and grabbed Tian Deping's collar:
"Bastard, what did you do?"
Tian Deping took away Gao Junya's hand and threw it away like trash.
Wang Wei was surprised. After all, Gao Junya was quite capable, so why was he so powerless in front of Tian Deping?
Tian Deping ignored the two of them, looked at this room and then at the secret room next to him, frowned and shook his head.
Wang Wei asked him: "Is it done?"
Tian Deping looked intently at the secret room without saying a word.
Gao Junya got up, stumbled into Wang Wei, pinched Wang Wei's neck, and said with a ferocious expression, "You already knew... you know it!"
"For the Sui Dynasty...for the Holy King,"
Wang Wei felt like he was about to be strangled to death. Every word he spoke had to be exhausted, "Sacrifice... is inevitable, and you and I are no exception."
Gao Junya laughed miserably and sat down on the ground, "You killed Xiao Liu'er too, did you know?"
Wang Wei was speechless and could only look at Tian Deping, "Is it successful or not?"
"Not enough." Tian Deping said.
"What?"
"The sacrifices are not enough."
Wang Wei's heart sank, "You keep talking about sacrifices... This is asking God for blessings. Will God really pay attention to you?"
"There is a saying circulating in the world of awakened disciples,"
Tian Deping stroked the door of the secret room,
"Sacrifice is like a group of small bugs. They place one of their kind on a leaf and kowtow to people passing by. Do you think people can see it?"
Wang Wei felt that his brain was a little exhausted and shook his head blankly.
"What if the little bug spoke?" Tian Deping said again: "And it still said your name."
"Ah..." Wang Wei was shocked. He felt his forehead was slapped hard, and his ears were buzzing, as if he heard the words of a god.
"Of course I'll be curious."
Tian Deping said: "If the insect pronounces your name respectfully and makes a request to you, for example, please give us some water to drink. Or, for example, kill the insect around him - will you?
Will you help?"
Wang Wei was stunned.
Tian Deping replied to himself: "If it is within your ability, you will take action."
"You can give them food," Wang Wei frowned, "but if you ask me to kill other bugs - I might trample them all to death."
"That depends on luck," Tian Deping said with a smile: "Not all people in the world are as jealous of evil as you are.
The ancient gods are even harder to guess.
What I want to say is that we offer sacrifices to attract the attention of the ancient gods and let the ancient gods hear our voices clearly. The more precious the sacrifice, the clearer the ancient gods can hear us, and the more likely they are to agree to our request."
"What do you think of our luck?" Wang Wei said.
"I said," Tian Deping looked at Gao Junya, "the sacrifices are not enough, the ancient gods haven't seen us yet."
Gao Junya seemed to be shocked by the previous scene and sat on the floor, not noticing Tian Deping's gaze at all.
Wang Wei couldn't understand it better.
What Tian Deping meant was that the ancient gods still looked down upon just a few soldiers—he had to put a more beautiful and eye-catching insect on the altar.
Tian Deping walked up behind Gao Junya, strangled him by the neck, and dragged him toward the dark room.
"What are you going to do?"
Gao Junya came back to her senses, widened her eyes, struggled to look at Wang Wei, and kept waving to him.
Wang Wei looked at him and stretched his hands in the air. He was about to say anything to stop him, but suddenly he thought in his heart:
"To this day, do we still have a way out?
The battlefield is like a casino, where all the chips are on the table. If you win, you will become a Marquis and Prime Minister, but if you lose, you will be left with a big scar.
General Gaolang, I'm sorry."
With this thought in mind, he turned to look at the endless night.
Gao Junya drew out his sword and slashed back randomly.
Tian Deping patted his neck, and he became motionless and quiet.
"General Gaolang,"
Tian Deping said: "I have wronged you - the county magistrate will ask for credit for you."
Gao Junya was dragged to the darkroom door like a dead person.
He looked at Wang Wei like a dead man looking at a dead man.
Tian Deping opened the door of the darkroom, and the smell of blood poured into the yard like a tide.
Wang Wei took a sniff, as if he had taken a sip of thick blood. His throat was severely irritated and he coughed repeatedly.
Gao Junya was dragged into the darkroom.
Before Tian Deping closed the door, Gao Junya suddenly spoke.
Wang Wei was a little surprised. Gao Junya did not curse, was not angry, or even said any words of complaint, and had no intention of escaping from the secret room.
Gao Junya's voice was very calm:
"Tian joins the army and can offer sacrifices, but he must pray for rain for the people of Taiyuan. Otherwise, things will be difficult to achieve."
Tian De was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, "It will rain in Taiyuan."
"It will rain tonight," Tian Deping said solemnly, "it will rain heavily."
Gao Junya looked at the secret room next door and said, "Don't let the sacrifice be tortured."
This sentence seemed to have a special meaning, but Wang Wei couldn't understand it.
Gao Junya's face was illuminated by the yellow light emitted by the light mask, making her look particularly peaceful in the darkness.
Wang Wei looked at him for the last time. It was like looking at a candle that was about to burn out.
Tian Deping closed the door with a facial expression.
Gao Junya's face melted into the dead darkness. The moment it disappeared, Wang Wei actually saw a peaceful smile on his face.
Gao Junya's last voice came from inside the door: "We must find Li Yuan and kill him!"
"Pingni can fail," Tian Deping said: "Li Yuan must die, right?"
There was no movement in the room. But Wang Wei seemed to feel that Gao Junya was nodding silently.
Wang Wei suddenly thought that Gao Junya had actually heard everything Tian Deping and Wang Wei whispered just now.
Gao Junya has great martial arts skills and naturally has good ears.
Then Gao Junya just now may not be defeated by Tian Deping——
"He wants to die... He wants to die on his own!"
Thinking of this, Wang Wei felt a surge of blood in his heart and could hardly restrain himself.
Tian Deping lit the talisman again and sang a sacrificial poem:
"Great Black Wind God from Black Wind Mountain, I offer my precious sacrifices and my most determined sincerity, hoping that you will see me, watch me, and listen to me.
Please guide me to where the enemy is and let my dagger slit the enemy's throat!"
