Holy Bone

Chapter 1600: The Blood and Flesh of the Mountain God, New Clues to the Mystery of Sword-Slashing

As the red cloth was lifted, a piece of flesh was revealed.

The piece of flesh took up half the tray.

Looks pretty complete.

It's like it was cut off in one piece.

The flesh was still bleeding, and it looked like it was not only cut off in one complete piece, but also that it had just been cut off.

"Sacrifice?"

"A bloody sacrifice?"

"Is this really a tribute to the mountain god?"

"Whose flesh and blood is this? Could it be... using human blood as an offering to the mountain god..."

If this were said in this paradise, it would be considered as an outrageous statement, but all the signs before his eyes were indeed too unbelievable.

"Isn't this a blessed place, the ancestral home of Taoism? Why is there a mountain god temple in the Taoist temple, and why is there a mountain god's tablet being worshipped here?"

"Is there anyone who can explain all this? What is the relationship between the mountain god and the Taoist temple? Is this still the Taoist ancestral temple?"

White air gushed out of the nostrils of the Samadhi Divine Fire Bull, and he said in a muffled voice: "The flesh and blood offered here are not from humans. It is impossible to cut such a large piece of flesh and blood from a human body."

Hearing this, the others looked at the Samadhi Divine Fire Bull with a little surprise, their eyes hiding shock, and they hesitated as if they wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

"Fellow Daoist, you seem to be very knowledgeable about human flesh?"

The ninth elder of Huaxian Dao looked at the Samadhi Divine Fire Bull cautiously and asked tentatively.

"!"

Everyone pretended to continue studying the flesh and blood, pretending not to hear anything, but in fact they all pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

"I've done some research on it." Samadhi Divine Fire Bull answered perfunctorily, his attention always focused on the ancient lamp in front of him that was reflecting the past.

What he said was not false. He had exorcised demons, walked on mountains of corpses, seen mass graves, driven corpses, and sewed up dead bodies... It is no exaggeration to say that his experience in exorcising demons and eliminating evil spirits is more than that of all the Shinto masters present combined.

He had probably eaten less salt than anyone present.

But his experience and knowledge of the dead must have exceeded that of everyone present combined.

It is no exaggeration to say that his path of cultivation was one of cutting through thorns and brambles amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

  Uh!

After hearing the answer from Samadhi Divine Fire Bull, many people in the mountain temple could no longer remain calm.

The scene of flesh and blood offering to the mountain god's spirit tablet was shocking enough, and the Samadhi Fire Bull was adding fuel to the fire. Even these giants and old antiques felt a cool breeze on the back of their necks.

The recent massacre by the Samadhi Divine Fire Bull is still fresh in our memory. It just happened not long ago.

  If he suddenly went crazy and ate people, how many people could withstand it?

There were so many bizarre experiences in the mountain god temple this time. It experienced constant reversals in a short period of time. Just when everyone who entered the mountain god temple thought that the piece of flesh and blood was a sacrifice to the mountain god's spirit tablet, there was a new reversal.

Outside the mountain god temple, there was a middle-aged Taoist priest, leading a group of little Taoist children whose innocent and childish faces had not yet faded. They lined up to enter the mountain god temple and walked to the altar.

At this time, the flesh and blood offered in front of the spirit tablet had already been cut into portions and then fed to the little Taoist children, who were told to eat them.

Those little Taoist children seemed to know very well why they entered the mountain temple. Their innocent and childish faces had firm gazes that could move even adults.

That's right, what we see on their faces is not the joy of eating, nor the aggrieved expression of resisting flesh and blood, but the determined look in their eyes. They are very young, the oldest is no more than seven years old, but they have grown up early and know their own choices.

From the facial expressions of the little Taoist boys, it can be seen that the flesh and blood was not tasty at all, but in the end they still forced themselves to finish it, and no one backed down.

Seeing the flesh and blood being eaten up, the several adult Taoist priests in the mountain temple all showed gratified looks. After comforting the little Taoist children one by one, they observed their reactions with nervous expressions.

This reversal of scenes left everyone present confused.

"So this flesh and blood is not offered to the mountain god to eat?"

"Since it is for the disciples to eat, why should it be offered to the mountain god first?"

"The records about the mountain god involve many ancient taboos. There are too many missing pieces in that period of history to make it impossible for later generations to find any relevant historical records or clues!"

But there was one exception.

The aura of Samadhi Divine Fire Bull changed, and his eyes changed from surprise to seriousness. At this moment, he thought of his disciple sharpening the sword.

He will never forget his experience in the paradise of Wuzhou Prefecture.

Later, he found Xuejian in Jiangzhou Prefecture. Xuejian told him that he had recovered some of his childhood memories, and that his master fed him some hard-to-swallow flesh and blood every day.

That was the only memory that Xuejian could remember about his life. Unfortunately, he didn't remember more later, and there has been no new progress in the investigation into the mystery of Xuejian's life.

Looking at the scene before him, his first thought was of his childhood experience of sharpening swords.

"Good old Taoist priest, you are right! The dead appearance of a living person on Xuejian's body is of great origin. Xuejian is not a corpse-salvator who grew up eating the flesh of the dead. It is very likely that he has an extremely yang physique that was fed with the flesh of the mountain god!"

The degree of explosion of Samadhi Divine Fire Bull's thoughts at this moment was no less than that of anyone else present. Then he revealed a look of joy, and was genuinely happy to have found new clues to Xue Jian's life experience.

During this trip to this blessed place, I unexpectedly found some clues about Xue Jian's life experience, which was a pleasant surprise.

"In the blessed land of Wuzhou Prefecture, we found clues to the mystery of Xuejian's life experience! This time, in the blessed land of Jingcheng, we found clues to the mystery of Xuejian's life experience! Too many coincidences means it's inevitable. It seems that the mystery of Xuejian's life experience must be hidden in these blessed lands. I'll take Xuejian to the blessed lands more often in the future!"

The more the Samadhi Divine Fire Bull thought about it, the more excited he became, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

This scene fell into the eyes of bystanders, as if he had opened his bloody mouth, was excited by the sight of blood, and had a strong interest in eating blood and flesh. For a moment, he felt the chill on the back of his neck become even greater.

Listening to the others' discussion about the flesh and blood, Samadhi Divine Fire Bull pointed out: "That piece of flesh and blood is very likely the flesh and blood of the mountain god."

  what!

The flesh and blood of the mountain god!

The others were shocked at first, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that this was indeed possible, and the possibility was very high.

“But there is one thing that doesn’t make sense. Why would a righteous Taoist court eat the flesh and blood of mountain gods raw?” An elder of Yujing Jinque frowned.

Samadhi Divine Fire Bull thought and said, "Perhaps it is to find a truly effective way to deal with the mountain god."

"If you want to completely kill the mountain god, you must first thoroughly understand the mountain god."

Everyone frowned in thought.

  Just when these righteous people had made new progress in the investigation of the mountain god and everyone was nervously paying attention to what symptoms the little Taoist children would show after eating the flesh and blood of the mountain god, suddenly, roar!

An eerie chill spread from this paradise, making people's souls shudder. The distant and terrifying roar from yesterday sounded again, spreading terrifyingly between heaven and earth.

Not even the Flaming Mountain could stop the eerie roar that sounded like it came from the abyss.

  Boo!

With a slight sound, the scene of Time Flashback disappeared, and everyone returned to reality. The Mountain God Temple was still the Mountain God Temple, the altar was empty, the altar was overturned to the ground, and the offerings were scattered all over the ground. The seven Taoist priests who guarded the Mountain God Temple turned into mummies again and sat around the ancient lamp.

But the ancient lamp had run out of oil and broken into pieces.

  Roar!

Roar!

The earth was still roaring one after another, and this time the noise was much louder than before, as if the person coming was not friendly!

"We just got a new clue here. The Mountain God Heaven and Earth Bone came with bad intentions. Could it be that... the flesh and blood here came from the Mountain God Heaven and Earth Bone? The Mountain God Heaven and Earth Bone got a sense of it and came towards us!"
