More than half an hour later, the worship ceremony ended. The huge stone statue glowed dark red and shook slightly for a while, but nothing happened. The white-haired envoy announced on the high platform that the Blood Demon God was about to appear.
, asking everyone to wait patiently. After speaking for a while, he asked the worshipers to come up one after another.
Su Le was a little curious about the stone statue. From what the white-haired divine envoy said, it seemed that their Blood Demon God would really appear and help the Shiman defeat the Xia Kingdom. Is this deceiving himself or others, or is it true? Su Le wants to
Check it out. But now the worshipers are going up one after another from the four stone stairs.
, there were fewer and fewer people in the cave, and it was a little inconvenient to explore. So Su Le took Yue Ling, and when he was approaching the entrance of the stone staircase, he whispered to Yue Ling: "Girl, we finally got down.
I'm kneeling down and not having fun here, how about we stay for a while and then leave?"
When Yue Ling heard this, she immediately felt unhappy. Not only was the air in this place not smooth and filled with smoke, but there was also nothing interesting. Except for a few big cauldrons, that was the stone statue. Yue Ling pressed her mouth and begged.
Looking at Su Le, it was clear that she didn't want to stay here for a second.
"How about this? You follow them up first. I'll take a look below and come up to you in a while." Su Le patted Yue Ling on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"How can that be done? How can I leave you here alone." Yue Ling thought for a while and then said, "How about I follow them up first and find a place to sit outside the stone pavilion for a while, and you can watch whatever you want.
Go and see, I'll just wait for you."
"Okay, but you have to be careful and don't get caught. Otherwise, they might feed you to the Blood Demon God next month." Su Le was afraid that Yue Ling would run around, so he threatened her.
"Oh, I understand." Yue Ling quickly waved her hand to Su Le, and then followed the crowd up.
Su Le smiled, dodged the patrolling soldiers, and returned to the cave again. At this time, there was no one in the cave. The white-haired divine envoy and his men did not know whether they had left. Su Le didn't care about that much anymore.
Since there was no one around, I jumped up to the high platform in front of the stone statue. I wanted to see what was so special about the stone statue, and I also wanted to see if I knew the person on the stone statue.
He had just jumped onto the high platform, but before he landed, bursts of tremors suddenly came from the Dan Sea. Su Le used his consciousness to take a look, but it was the second chess piece on the heaven and earth chessboard hanging above the Dan Sea.
It emits bursts of intense golden light, accompanied by bursts of slight trembling.
Su Le was a little puzzled. He had felt this way before when he went deep into the underground tomb of Emperor Xia's mausoleum. But there was a mausoleum there and here was a stone statue. Why did he also feel this way?
Su Le walked over slowly and looked at the stone pool under the broken sword in the stone statue's hand. There was still some dark red blood. Looking at the striped grooves on the huge broken sword, there was also a lot of dark red blood stuck to it.
The blood stains made Su Le's heart twitch: The blood of boys and girls must have always been contained here, but I don't know how many people were killed and how many families suffered the pain of losing their children?
Why does this so-called stone statue of the Blood Demon God use a broken sword to suck people's blood? Su Le was about to get closer to see what was wrong with this stone statue. He had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard a faint voice coming from behind the stone statue.
sound.
"Master God Envoy, this blood should be enough, right?"
"Not yet, we still need the blood of a virgin. Once we collect the blood of six men and six women, we can start the sacrificial ceremony and summon the bleeding demon. By then, not only the Xia Kingdom, which has no general leader now, but also Tianyin in the south
country, we can still destroy it." The voice sounded like the white-haired envoy from before.
"But, Lord God Envoy, our religion's prohibition clearly requires that the followers are not to use the Blood Demon God to invade other countries. We have been abiding by it for thousands of years. If we use the Blood Demon God to attack the Xia Kingdom, will it..."
"Enough! In the opinion of a fool, although our religion has this prohibition, there was a barbarian king in the past who was checking and balancing, and we have to abide by it. Now the new barbarian king Shi Bao is only a third-level warrior. If he didn't have my support, how could he sit on it?
This barbarian throne?" The divine envoy paused and said, "For thousands of years, if it weren't for my Blood Demon Sect, the barbarian tribe would have perished long ago.
! But every barbarian king was afraid that our religion was too strong. After defeating the invading enemy, he ordered the divine envoys of our religion to take back the Blood Demon God. The previous divine envoys either had brain problems or were afraid of the strength of the current barbarian kings, so they all
Obey obediently. Now, Shi Bao is just a pawn in my hand. I want to summon the Bleeding Demon God, how can he stop me?"
"However, I am afraid that the members of the Blood Demon Sect will not be convinced. After all, doing so will violate the rules of the sect..."
"Stupid! We first summoned the Bleeding Demon God and told all the believers that we were to resist the Xia Kingdom and save the barbarians. Why would they refuse to accept it? As for after I defeated the Xia Kingdom's southern frontier army, we would then go north together with the Blood Demon God to destroy the Xia Kingdom.
Then I will establish our own Blood Demon Kingdom, how can the followers be unwilling?" said the Lord Divine Envoy.
"However, since the death of the late King Shimo in battle and the Broken Sword of the Blood Demon has disappeared, how can we summon the Bleeding Demon God?"
"Hmph! For so many years, summoning the Blood Demon God has required the Blood Demon Sword in the hands of the Barbarian King. It is precisely because of this that the Shiman Royal Family suppressed our religion. Now that the Blood Demon Sword has been lost, the Shiman Royal Family no longer has anything to rely on.
It's something. The Shiman royal family seems to be arrogant, but in fact it's just an external force.
Zhongqian, ever since I ascended to the position of Divine Envoy, I have begun to look for another way to summon the Blood Demon God, thinking that one day I can overthrow the rule of the Shiman royal family and turn Shiman into the kingdom of our Blood Demon Sect. Isn’t it right?
Thanks to you, I found this method at the end of last year, hahaha!"
"No wonder the God Envoy has been carrying out the blood sacrifice ceremony of boys and girls since the beginning of this year. Is it related to this ceremony?"
"Yes, in addition to breaking the blood demon sword, I found that if the blood of twelve boys and girls is used, a trace of the blood demon god's consciousness can be awakened, so I offer a boy or girl to the statue every month, and use them
blood to wake him up, but..."
"But what?"
"However, even if it is not enough to awaken the consciousness of the Blood Demon God, if you want to truly gain his power, you must find the things he used during his lifetime. Now that the broken sword has been lost, we can only place our hope on the half of the Blood Demon Sword.
Jian. As far as I know, back then, the Blood Demon God had a relationship with the Dragon God Emperor.
During the war, the Blood Demon Sword was broken and dropped in the Hedong Plain area. The broken Blood Demon Sword was fortunately obtained by the barbarian royal family. For thousands of years, they tried their best to find the loaded sword tip. Five hundred years ago, I taught God
I finally divined that the half of the Blood Demon Sword should fall near Guifang City."
"No wonder five hundred years ago, the Shiman royal family wanted to move their capital here. It turned out that they were looking for the half of the Blood Demon Sword!"
"Yes, it's a pity that they have been looking for it for nearly five hundred years and have never found it. However, I was lucky enough to find it by accident! You think, isn't this God's will?" The Lord God Envoy laughed.
Su Le quietly listened to the conversation in front of the statue, and couldn't help but be horrified: I said, how could there be a reaction in the Danhai? It turns out that the other half of the Blood Demon's Broken Sword is also here, and it is the same as the one on the chessboard of heaven and earth.
The second chess piece has a response. Could it be that the other half of the Blood Demon Sword can really summon the Bleeding Demon God? According to them, this Blood Demon God is not a real god, but a dead person who also fought with the Dragon God Emperor.
The Blood Demon Sword was broken?
Could it be? Is it the Shenwu Emperor that Biyue mentioned? When Su Le got the Blood Demon Broken Sword that day, the phantom that suddenly appeared in his mind was that the man in white was also holding a broken sword in his hand. Could it be that he was the Shenwu Emperor? That black-clothed man
Could this man be the Dragon God Emperor they just mentioned, Bi Yue's father?
Su Le's mind was a little confused. Looking at the tall stone statue in front of him, Su Le was sure that the person on the stone statue was the man in white that appeared in his mind that day. Why did the Lord God Envoy inside say that they wanted to
Was it the Blood Demon God who was summoned? What on earth is going on?
"Hurry up and inform me. In the remaining month, I will practice in seclusion and master the method of summoning. No one is allowed to disturb me. If the Xia army attacks, you order the followers to hide in this cave. I
He will set up a spell to wipe out the stone pavilion above, and the Xia people will not be able to attack it even if they have tens of thousands of horses." said the Lord Divine Envoy.
"No!" Another person responded, paused for a moment and then asked: "But what about the others, what about the common people and the barbarians in Guifang City?"
"Hmph! The Blood Demon God only protects loyal believers. As for the life and death of other people, it has nothing to do with us!"
"Yes, the Lord God is wise!"
After listening to their conversation, Su Le was considering whether to take the opportunity to cut off the half of the Blood Demon Sword. When Jian Lun left, he suddenly heard a loud shout from the other side of the cave. It sounded like Yue Ling's voice. Isn't this girl?
In the square above?
"Who!" A roar came from behind the stone statue.
When Su Le heard that the people inside noticed the movement outside, he quickly flew to hide on top of the stone statue.
For a moment, the huge stone statue slowly started to rotate with a creaking sound. When the stone statue slowly stopped rotating, a hole as tall as one person appeared from behind the stone statue, and three people came out of the hole.
Su Le lay on the stone statue, looked down at the three people, and recognized that it was the three men in white robes and red hats who had appeared in the square before, and one of them was the white-haired divine envoy.
After the three people came out, the statue turned to the front again and closed the hole behind the statue. After the white-haired god came out, he looked around and found that there was no one else in the cave, so he looked at the person beside him.
The two said, "Go and have a look at the stone staircase. I thought I heard someone shouting just now."
After the two men nodded, they flew towards the two stone staircases in the cave.
