78. He is dead, dead!
The Yuanzhu sacrifice ceremony is held every year, so citizens are not unfamiliar with it.
According to convention, during the process of the ritual, the gate of the bell tower will not be closed, and citizens can freely enter the bell tower to serve as spectators.
However, today's bell tower closed the door after the dancers entered and refused to enter the public to visit, which made the citizens confused.
At this time, Yuanzhu City was not only citizens and trainers who came to visit the rituals, but also secret spies sent by various forces in the mainland!
These secret spies are obviously much higher than ordinary citizens. When they saw the gate of the bell tower closed, they knew that the bell tower itself had no confidence in today's rituals, otherwise they would not have to do so.
All they can do now is to guard outside the gate of the bell tower and wait for the result of the sacrifice inside.
The Bell Tower is not a single tower, but a building complex including a whole area around it.
Before, the dancers entered the outer gate. After entering the gate, the dancers had to continue to cross the bell track to truly reach the bottom of the bell tower.
"The Three Sages are already waiting for you at the top of the tower. Please go upstairs."
After taking the dancers to the bottom of the tower, Zhennian said to the dancers.
The prayer ceremony must be held at the top of the bell tower, and it is not something that monks of this level of dying can go up there, so he can only bring the dancers here.
"Go, grandpa won't follow you."
Although Katsura is the head of the family, the dance of the inheritance is only passed on to women but not men, so he can't dance, so he naturally has no right to go to the top of the tower.
"Um."
Hearing Kamtaro's words, the dancers looked at each other, cheered each other up, and then changed into shoes suitable for dancing and walked towards the top of the bell tower.
They have walked this path several times in their lives, but today their steps are heavier than before.
Finally, more than ten minutes later, the dancers successfully arrived at the top of the bell tower.
At this time, there were three old monks standing on the top of the tower.
They are the three sages of the Bell Tower: Mao Jie, Taizong, and Yongquan.
These three are the helmsman of Bell Tower today, and are actually infinitely close to the championship-level peak trainer.
"Amitabha, let's start."
Mao Jie, the leader, spoke.
"Um."
May nodded, then took out a transparent bell from his arms, signaling the sisters to stand in their respective positions.
In the original plan, May should have brought transparent bells and sea sound bells to attend the ritual. However, now she only brought transparent bells to pray to the Phoenix King, and left the sea sound bells that could pray to Lochia at home.
After all, they have decided to sacrifice themselves for the Phoenix King, so it is naturally meaningless to bring the sea bell that prays to Lochia.
Soon, the dancers stood in their respective positions. Then, as May shook the transparent bell in his hands, the dancers danced gracefully in the rhythm of the bells and turned around the pillars on the top of the tower.
The three sages on the side first closed their eyes and recited scriptures, but soon, they could not control the fluctuations in their hearts, and they opened their eyes and looked at the dancers.
Even if they have cultivated their minds for a lifetime, they still cannot calm down in the face of such a major event that is at stake in life and death.
Soon, the first dance of the dancers ended.
The bells on the bell tower are still the same, without any shaking.
I would like to mention here that bells are hung on each floor of the bell tower. Before the Phoenix King arrives, these bells will ring first, announcing to the world that the Phoenix King is about to arrive.
This is also the origin of the name Bell Tower.
The Phoenix King was not summoned in the first round, and the three sages were still able to calm down. After all, the Phoenix King had never summoned it in the first round.
However, as the second and third circles unfolded, the bells in the tower remained silent, and the faces of the Three Sages became increasingly ugly.
Until the ninth circle of dance ended, the face of the Three Sages could already be so gloomy that water dripped out of the face.
According to convention, if the tenth lap dance ends and the Phoenix King still does not come, it means that the Phoenix King will not come this time.
In other words, they only have one chance left!
The dancing girls obviously realized this, so their movements became much stiffer.
Although they have never summoned the Phoenix King in their lives, they know that this time is different from the past.
If you fail in the past, you will fail. This failure is really going to kill you!
And many people died!
Therefore, the dancing girls began to pray in their hearts, praying that the Phoenix King could respond to their prayers.
However, the fact is cruel. Until the tenth round of jump, the bells of the bell tower still did not move at all.
"Ding bell~"
As the last ringtone fell, the dancers stopped their dance. After looking at each other again, the dancers closed their eyes and stood there, as if waiting for the death row prisoners who were executed.
However, the Three Sages did not notice the performance of the dancers, but closed their eyes and began to recite scriptures with complicated expressions.
After a moment, Mao Jie, the leader, opened his eyes and said:
"Oh~ Forget it, it seems that Lord Fengwang has decided that Lord Luoqia will continue to protect us. Since that's the case, let's go to the Charcoal Tower."
"It's extreme, it's extreme."
Yongquan, who was beside him, nodded:
"Lord Feng King has protected us for so many years, and I think he is tired, so he entrusted the responsibility of protecting the Guandu continent to Lord Luoqia. Since that's the case, we naturally have to share the worries of Lord Feng King."
There were no outsiders here at this time. May and they were also the descendants of the dancer who served the Phoenix King for hundreds of years. They knew no less than the Three Sages. Therefore, Yongquan's words could not deceive people at all, and they could only be considered as self-deception.
This shows that the three sages were in a state of uneasiness at this time and could not even speak normal words.
"Since that's the case, let's go."
The last Taizong nodded, and then took the lead in walking down the tower.
At this moment, he found that the dancers showed no sign of action, and immediately frowned:
"What, aren't you leaving yet?"
"We are servants of Lord Feng Wang."
The eldest sister May said:
"So we will not dance under the seats of other gods."
"What!?"
Hearing May's words, Taizong widened his eyes:
"Are you crazy??"
"No, I'm not crazy."
May opened his eyes and looked at the Three Sages, and said with a calm expression:
"I believe that Lord Fengwang is just a matter of something for a while and can't come. We must not turn to Lord Luoqia's seat because of this."
"What's wrong? He is dead, dead!"
Emperor Taizong changed his previous image as a monk and said hysterically:
Chapter completed!
