Chapter 253
Chapter 253
The sacrifice site of the Hua family is just under the main city of the Hua family.
After Shen Gunian found out, he was really surprised. Before entering the place of sacrifice, Shen Gunian still remembered that Zhuang Su was being targeted by evil cultivators.
Jimo Qing said: "The corpse-eating patriarch is indeed attached to Zhuang Su, but have you forgotten that he was injured every year?"
Shen Gunian suddenly realized.
That's right, the corpse-eating patriarch is a rat-like person, so he will definitely hide first when he is injured. At most, he can control the corpse puppets to approach. According to the current cultivation base of the corpse-eating ancestor, the highest corpse puppets that can be controlled are at the peak of Jindan, but The number that can be controlled is unknown.
"Then let's go." Shen Gunian's last worries were gone, and he pulled Jimo Qing back into the entrance and exit of the sacrificial place.
In the dark passage, the tall brown walls on both sides are inlaid with fiery red gems, reflecting the entire passage under the red halo.
Shen Gunian looked at the slightly scorched walls, at the end of the cramped passage, there was darkness where he could not reach his fingers, the silence was cold, lifeless, and even breathing could be clearly heard.
Jimoqing reached out to hold him, and walked forward.
Shen Gunian observed the wall of the passage, and found that the scorched parts on the wall, like ghost graffiti, were all scorched by fire.
There were even signs of melting in some places, and I couldn't help but be speechless, how high the temperature was, it actually burned the mud walls.
Shen Gu Nian was in a daze, kicked a raised floor tile, and staggered to Jimo Qing's back.
"Be careful." Jimoqing said helplessly, "Everything can fall."
With the most basic night vision ability of a cultivator, he actually tripped over the floor tiles, and no one believed it.
Shen Gunian rubbed his nose, concentrated on walking, and asked, "What's the matter with this wall?"
Although the width of the passage can accommodate three people in parallel, because the passage is sealed and the environment is dark, it gives people a sense of depression that will suffocate at any time.
"Suzaku's blood, not everyone can bear the pain of the ashes." Jimoqing's calm voice seemed to echo infinitely in the passage: "The last thought of a dying person is the destination, just like the death of a person. , to return to the root."
Shen Gunian's starry eyes flickered slightly: "A person who took Suzaku's blood and whose life was about to come to an end, entered here, if he could survive it, he would survive, but if he couldn't, he would turn into ashes?"
Reborn from the ashes, is that what it means?
Jimoqing hooked his lips: "Suzaku's blood is divine blood, and a single drop of flame can burn for ten years."
Shen Gunian was surprised: "So, the three city lords of the Hua family carried all of them over... But that's not right, even if they were also immortal cultivators at the time, if they wanted to share the Vermilion Bird, wouldn't they just seek their own death?"
As far as he saw that Hua Feihua was currently at the golden core stage, and he almost returned to his hometown after taking Suzaku blood, not to mention that the human race's cultivation was so difficult at that time, and his cultivation level must not be much higher.
"Every year, it's a good habit to hoard food." Jimo Qing led him to the left through the crossroad passage.
Shen Gunian looked at the back of his head faintly: "Are you implicating me?"
Don't you just want to say that he is greedy?Do you want to beat around the bush like this?
Jimoqing smiled lowly, turned to look at him with picturesque eyebrows and eyes: "Niannian who hoards food is also very cute."
Shen Gunian pursed the corners of his lips, but he still couldn't stop rising, covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "So, they didn't eat the Suzaku all at once, but also stored it...wait a minute, so they ate it raw Suzaku??"
Shen Gunian held back the shit that blurted out.
Suzaku's flame is currently the strongest and most powerful fire in the world. Its own blood can melt the entire earth. What kind of fire can roast Suzaku?
Thinking of this, Shen Gunian's terror and cruelty towards the three city lords of the Hua family raised him to S rank again.
"That's right, they are practicing while eating Suzaku." Jimo Qing said these words in a very calm voice, but Shen Gunian could hear the feeling of hairs standing on end.
Shen Gunian swallowed his saliva, and said slowly: "How...how did you know?"
Jimoqing said softly, "The blood of the gods has memory within three months after their death."
Shen Gunian was shocked: "Damn—"
Isn't this a grudge cheat?
Who knew god blood could read the last memories of the dead?Who will guard against this move?
Good guy, direct good guy, Shen Gunian couldn't help showing a thumbs up.
Then, I found myself digressing again.
"We're almost there." Jimo Qing stopped.
Shen Gunian walked from behind him to the front, and suddenly discovered that this passage, the latest place he came to, turned out to be a ring-shaped cave like the place where the Dragon Clan passed down in the Ice Valley.
It's just that there is a dead tree in the middle, the surrounding walls are red, and the color of the ground is an uncomfortable sticky dark red, like a floor formed by long-term accumulation and solidification of blood.
Shen Gu Nian frowned: "Sacrifice, what kind of sacrifice is it?"
Is it bloodletting like killing a chicken?Look at this room, which is as big as a football field. The whole floor is covered with sticky, dark red and dry blood, and some places have turned dark black.
"Tomorrow night, you will know." Jimoqing said meaningfully.
Shen Gunian was shocked physically and mentally: "You mean, tomorrow is Hua Feihua's sacrifice day?!"
Although he knew that Hua Feihua would be sacrificed for a long time, he never thought that it would be tomorrow, so he was caught off guard.
It's as if people who thought they could see each other tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, suddenly ushered in death.
At this moment, Shen Gunian felt the sadness of life's impermanence.
It was like the end of the day, taking away everything from him, saying goodbye before it was too late, suddenly very suddenly, and so casually.
"Niannian, are you feeling sorry for him?" Jimo Qing raised his chin, frowned and lowered his eyes, seeing that his eyes were red, and his sad eyes made his heart ache and tightened.
For a moment, self-loathing at himself for making him sad again.
Shen Gunian shook his head, his eyes fell on the withered tree, and said: "I just lament the impermanence of life."
Speaking of this, he held Jimoqing's hand and smiled slightly: "So people, cherish what you have in front of you."
Who knows what will happen tomorrow?
Jimo Qing pursed the corners of his lips, took his hand and walked back: "Go back..."
If he had known that he would be sad, he shouldn't have brought him here.
Shen Gunian's sadness came and went quickly, he didn't know that Jimo Qing regretted himself for bringing up his own sadness.
Suddenly, Jimo Qing stopped.
Shen Gunian also noticed the sound of footsteps coming from the other end of the passage.
Surprise flashed across his eyes. Who would come to the place of sacrifice at this time?
There is only one way in and out, so they will definitely hit it.
Shen Gunian grabbed Jimo Qing's hand, walked back, and quickly returned to the position just now, took out the invisibility cloak, stretched out his finger to point down, opened his mouth slightly, and asked silently: "Go down?"
Jimoqing nodded, wrapped his arms around his waist, and jumped down.
Shen Gunian covered the two of them with an invisibility cloak, and hid beside the withered tree.
Soon a figure appeared at the other end of the passage.
Shen Gunian was puzzled, why did she come here at this time?
