sword sentient beings

altar.

Everyone in Huanri Manor saw that the turtle bandit's team had arrived.

Wei Se still didn't receive any instructions, and couldn't make any decision for the moment, so he had to let them arrive.

The other party did not face the manor owners face to face, but took another road on the opposite side and came to the other side of the altar.The two sides are separated from each other by the big altar, just like they are separated by a wide river. Looking at each other across the river, it seems to be like seeing flowers in the mist.

However, for those with swordsman's eyesight, this distance can already clearly see how many eyelashes the opponent has.

Wei Se glanced at it and saw that there was something wrong with the leader An Wang, a bit like...

Like the state of Feng Zhenzheng.

It turned out to be a dead spiritual official.

Also, there is a woman in that team who is also very powerful.

Although he is not a swordsman yet, Wei Se has the instinct to judge danger that he has cultivated since childhood, so he can tell at a glance that the ordinary-looking woman dressed in casual clothes is actually quite powerful. However, the feeling she gives to him does not exceed that of the returnee. melt.In other words, she is also a swordsman.

So, where is that woman who claims to be incredibly powerful?

Wei Se thought about it and said to the several manor owners nearby: "I see there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in their ranks, so be careful..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the turtle bandit had already brought up the sacrifices that were being carried up behind him.

I saw that although the number of sacrifices carried there was slightly smaller than here, it was still very impressive. The most conspicuous thing was that there was a person sitting on top of the sacrifices.

"Hey." Master Fuhu slapped his leg. "They respect the ancient etiquette and are actually prepared to sacrifice. Moreover, they are not the kind of swordsmen who make up for the loss. They are serious swordsmen who started out. This seems like we are not sincere." After saying that, he shook his head and sighed.

Wei's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself: He is indeed a turtle bandit, he can learn from the good but not the bad.No, they are so bad to begin with, what can't they do?

There were 12 sacrifices in total, including men and women, old and young, but there were no obvious children, which meant they were not sword slaves.And all of them have black hair, so naturally they are not local white-haired swordsmen. Where did they come from?

It must not be one of their own...

"Eh? Isn't this a pure Taoist priest?" At this time, Liu Hu, who was "observing" in the team, suddenly spoke in a very surprised tone.

Wei Se tilted his head slightly and asked him, "Who is Taoist Master Chun?"

Liu Hu said: "He is Taoist Master Chunfeng of Jiutian Dao Palace in the capital. He is a swordsman Taoist priest under the Imperial Master. He is quite respectable. In the capital, he is always a guest even when he arrives at the palace. What are the origins of these people? How dare they Bring the Imperial Master’s men to sacrifice as well.”

Wei Se immediately understood that these sacrifices were people captured by the turtle bandits from elsewhere, and they were all from forces hostile to them.As for the people of the Imperial Guard who are not easy to mess with, the turtle bandits will even overthrow the imperial court. What kind of Imperial Guard are they afraid of?Maybe someone from the National Preceptor would be used to sacrifice the flag.

Wei Se asked: "Since he is an acquaintance of Brother Liu, should we save him?"

Liu Hu smiled and said: "No, no need. It's just a nod, don't delay the business."

Wei Se secretly sneered. At this time, the rice master touched him lightly. Wei Se glanced at him. The rice master winked at him and made a "three" gesture with his fingers.

Although the expression in his eyes was very vague, Wei Se still received his meaning: "One of our people is among the sacrifices, and he is the third one."

The rice pounder was an undercover agent sent by the District Inspection Department, and of course he was referring to his own people from the District Inspection Department.

Wei's eyes moved to look at the third person.

The man was a young man, in his twenties at most, with a rather sharp look at the corners of his eyebrows. Sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, he seemed a bit gentler.

It seemed that he was controlled by means, unable to move, and it was unknown whether he was still conscious.

Wei Se didn't recognize this person, but judging from his appearance, he should be a resolute warrior. Unfortunately, he fell into the hands of the turtle bandits, and he didn't know if he would be able to save him in time.

After all, Wei Se is not a person from the Prosecution Department, and he doesn't have any lofty sentiments. Unless Mr. Tang has a clear order to rescue people, he will naturally put his own mission first. If the other party is killed in the end, he can only say: " It’s a pity”.

Seeing the two sides standing still, silent to each other, Wei Se deliberately turned a blind eye and turned to Master Fuhu: "Has the auspicious time arrived? Let's start the sacrifice."

Master Fuhu is a ceremonial officer and is very familiar with all procedures. He said: "It's time to start. I'll first..."

Just as he was talking, he saw a figure walking up the steps on both sides of the altar.

At this time, there were crowds of people on both sides, hugging each other. This was the time when the atmosphere was the most solemn.This lonely figure looked so dazzling.It's like a big river between two erupting volcanoes, and a lonely canoe floats down.

Before he could see the man's appearance clearly, Lord Fuhu was already furious and shouted: "How dare that despicable sword slave come to disturb you at this time? Bring him to sacrifice!" Wei looked at him and realized why Lord Fuhu I immediately thought it was a sword slave.The figure was not only short, but also had a strange walking posture. His steps were close to the ground without lifting, as if he were dripping water.

Those sword slaves all walk like this, so that they can get close to Wang Liang and avoid some pain.

There is no need to remind him with a dangerous look, Liu Hu has already said: "Master Fuhu, wait a minute, someone will come at this time, there may be something fishy."

Lord Fuhu was silent for a moment, and then everyone fell silent. Time seemed to have stopped, except for the small figure climbing up.

It wasn't until the man climbed the second step that everyone could see clearly.He was indeed a child, or a teenager if he was older. He was wearing simple clothes that were as simple as a black cloth bag. He looked like not only a sword slave, but also a sword slave in a poor and stingy manor.As long as the owner of the manor has some dignity, he will not dress his sword slave in such clothes.

However, there was a mask on the sword slave's face. The mask was golden and very finely carved, with distinct facial features, exposed teeth, and a somewhat fierce look. Only the corners of his mouth were curved, and he seemed to be smiling, which was very strange.

Anyone wearing this mask will become weird and vicious. This is not a mask that children usually wear for fun. It is more like the masks worn by ghost-catching wizards at some ghost exorcism rituals to scare away evil spirits. .

An insensitive person like Wei Se discovered another strange thing belatedly: this mask was actually golden!
The color gold is not unusual, but what is strange is that in Mengliang Mountain, you can see it being golden.

It actually ignored the black and white filter of the Gangliang Mountain and emitted a brilliant golden light on its own!
The last time Wei Se saw this color, it was the "Sea Sunset" statue at the entrance of his manor. That golden touch was emitted by the sun!

Could it be that this mask is also...

Seeing that the masked boy had arrived under the altar, everyone was silent for a moment.Fuhu advocated opening his mouth and wanted to ask him where he came from, but he was not a fool after all. Seeing this situation, he felt that he should not speak out, and it was best to let others ask.

But everyone thinks so, so no fool would ask.Everyone watched helplessly as the young man climbed up the steps and came to a platform on the second step of the altar. Then he sat cross-legged next to everyone, looking at everyone through the mask, just like an audience watching a performance.

After a period of eerie silence, Wei Se cleared his throat, turned around and said, "Master Fuhu, you can start."

Lord Fuhu looked ugly. He was surrounded by enemies and a strange young man suddenly appeared below. He really didn't want to go on stage.But now he was the only manor owner left among the four traditional ceremonial officials. He had no choice but to shake his ceremonial robe and walk up the steps.The two swordsmen next to him held the ritual vessels and followed him.

In the past, the positions of the two holding ritual vessels had to be fixed for the second-level manor owners, but now they are gone, so two swordsmen have to be chosen to take the stage.One of them is Xingwu, and the other is Tufei.

Xingwu came to the stage on behalf of the Hanri Manor, and the eldest young master played by Wei Se wanted to control the situation. He was not a swordsman himself, and he was afraid that he would be exposed to the power of Wangliang when he came on stage, so he sent someone who was familiar with this process and had the best ability to protect himself. Xing Wu came on stage.But Tu Fei wanted to go up there on his own. His house was lost and he was waiting to pray to Wang Liang to find it for him, so he was willing to do these chores.

The incense table has already been placed on the altar, and the sacrificial objects have been prepared.The incense table is divided into three levels, each with a different number of incense burners.There are ten on the bottom floor, five on the middle floor, and only one largest and most gorgeous incense burner on the top.There is also a treasure table similar to a Buddhist niche on the top. A black jade staff is inserted in the center, and a black gemstone like a pupil is inlaid on the top. The gemstone is dark in color and is bottomless if you look closely. No one dares to touch it. Look at each other.It was the core magical weapon of the sacrifice, and it was taken care of by the five first-level manor houses. This time, it was the turn of Changyi Manor to take care of it.

Fortunately, Tu Fei kept this black jade staff with him. If it had been left in Changyi Manor, they would not even have the right to perform sacrifices now.

At that moment, Master Fuhu first lit a special incense stick, held it in his hand, and shook it slightly, and the flames shot up into the sky, like a torch.The flame looked pure black to the naked eye. I don't know if it was really black or because it looked black due to the influence of the filter.

Master Fuhu took the incense and bowed to the black jade staff in the center, then stepped on the altar and started walking, first walking slowly, then walking quickly, and finally began to take unusual steps, like dancing steps.

Just listen to him dancing and mumbling: "The sky and the earth are in chaos, the sun and the moon are no longer light.

The way of heaven is destroyed, and the way of humanity is not prosperous.

All things are out of order, and I am alone.
Connected to the sky and connected to the earth.

Five sacrifices are held together, ten hearts are held together..."

As he danced and recited, he got more and more into the state, and his dance steps became more and more crazy. The incense burned in his hands like the wind, producing a lot of thick smoke, filling the altar with fireworks.

Wei Se pursed her lips and thought: What the hell is the difference between this and the Great Dancer?No wonder the gentleman said that Gangliang Mountain is in the primary stage of the cult’s obscene rituals, and even the methods of bluffing people are so low-level.

Lord Fuhu danced for a while and said: "What are the five sacrifices? Long clothes -" As he spoke, he used the black flame in his hand to light the incense stick on the far left of the second row. The incense suddenly rose and the smoke turned into a piece of clothing. shape.

"Gaomian——"

The second incense stick was lit, and the smoke was like a crown.

"Jade Cong——"

"Jia Pei——"

"Fragrance beads——"

These five names refer to five first-level manors, and he arrived one by one.Then he started to call out the names of ten second-level manor houses, and lit the incense in the second row: "Returning the Sun, Dark Star, Subduing Dragon, Fuhu, Spirit Ape..."

Even if there were only a few people present in the fifteen manors, he arrived one by one. The fifteen incense sticks smoked together, and the smoke finally gathered on the top incense stick. The thickest and largest incense spontaneously ignited without wind, turning into a Black smoke drifted towards the altar...

"Everyone is ready, my lord is coming!"
