I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 390 Five Spirit Gods (asking for monthly ticket)
Led by two Yunzhou women, Sangque passed through the deep and dense forest and entered the Five Spirits Altar.

The stone steps built with huge stones are covered with moss. After walking up, five huge statues come into view. They are a scorpion, a centipede, a poisonous snake, a gecko and a toad. They surround the central altar with ferocious postures, and on each statue sits a boy of seven or eight years old.

Xingzhu, who is the dragon-snake boy, sits on the statue of a poisonous snake, looking down at everyone below with cold eyes.

Under each statue stood the leaders and high priests of the five major villages, Chengge among them. They wore traditional costumes of similar appearance but different colors. The decorations on their clothes and crowns were all in the shape of evil spirits surrounding the five poisonous creatures.

The priests held magical instruments in their hands and chanted something in a low and melodious voice. The leaders looked solemn, with awe in their eyes, as they watched Sangque being led all the way to the stairs in front of the central altar.

The two Yunzhou women turned around and gave Sang Que a few words of advice before preparing to leave. Suddenly one of them tripped, but fortunately Sang Que helped her up and prevented her from falling.

The man thanked them in a low voice and left quickly. They had already communicated and rehearsed the specific ceremony with Sang Que in advance.

Sangque walked up the stairs. The central altar was a circular deep pit. Slaughtered cattle, sheep and various offerings were placed around the pit. The pit was full of animal bones, and it was impossible to see what was underneath the pit.

Sangque knelt on one knee, clenched his right fist against his heart, and slowed down his breathing to rise and fall with the breeze in the forest.

The priests from various villages behind them sang and danced, using ancient songs and dances to please the Five Spirits. Holding their respective magic tools, they walked up to the altar one by one, and used the paint in their hands to paint strange patterns on Sangque's face to bless him.

When all the sacrifices in the five villages were completed and the blessing was done, it was exactly the hour of You. A gust of wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground, as if telling everyone that the consciousness of the Five Spirit Gods had descended on the earth.

Sang Que recited the sacrificial words in the Yunzhou dialect he had just learned.

"There are snakes in the mountains, you can see the tail but not the head. The scorpion's tail is poisonous, but it can suppress evil. The toad guards the moon, bringing endless blessings. The centipede walks on the ground, and all evil retreats. The gecko climbs the wall, protecting the home with its agility. You five spirits protect the people, and your grace is as heavy as a mountain."

"Today we offer the purest sacrifice to show our reverence. May the Five Spirits have mercy on me and look upon my suffering. I am haunted by evil spirits and am in constant fear. I beg the Five Spirits to help me exorcise the evil spirits. I will always remember their grace and worship them for generations to come. I will never disobey them."

After saying that, the Yin boy who was the sacrifice appeared beside Sangque.

Sangque bowed his head and said earnestly, "I hope you will enjoy it!"

At this moment, all the people under the altar knelt on one knee towards the altar, shouting in unison "We welcome the feast", respectfully inviting the Five Spirits to enjoy the sacrifice.

When the voice fell, there was still the sound of breeze and insects, but now the wind has stopped and the insects have rested, and there is deathly silence.

In Sang Que's peripheral vision, the shadow of the Earth Ghost was still there, only three steps away from her. The Earth Ghost was squatting on the ground with a pitch-black face. Sang Que could feel the mocking laughter coming from the Earth Ghost.

They laughed at her naivety. Despite all the fuss, the Five Spirit Gods didn't respond at all.

Chengge raised his head in the crowd, not knowing what to do next.

At this time, Yin Tong glanced towards the location where the earth ghost was, raised his foot and kicked the sacrificial tray with cattle and sheep next to it into the deep pit.

Sang Que understood Yin Tong's meaning, stood up, turned around, held Yin Tong's hand, and the man and the ghost jumped directly into the sacrificial pit.

Forced sacrifice!

This pit is the rice bowl of the Five Spirit Gods. Everything thrown into the pit belongs to the Five Spirit Gods. Sang Que threw both her and Yin Tong into the rice bowl of the Five Spirit Gods. The Earth Ghost would come to snatch food from the tiger's mouth if he had the ability. Sang Que fell heavily on the pile of bones. The sharp bones scratched her back and arms. The shadow of the Earth Ghost appeared at the edge of the pit, but did not follow.

"Come!"

Yin Tong's clear and tender voice came to his ears. Yin Tong was standing in the pile of bones and shouted downwards. Sang Que didn't know who she wanted to call.

After a while, the temperature at the bottom of the pit dropped suddenly, and little girls who were slightly older than Yin Tong emerged from the pile of bones. They were all wearing the same clothes and the same silver crowns on their heads. They had miserable faces and empty eyes.

There were more and more little girls, almost filling the entire pit of bones.

These little girls are the Five Spirit Saints of successive generations. When they grew older than the requirements to be a saint, they were pushed into this pit as sacrifices and became food for the Five Spirit Gods. Thinking of this, Sang Que couldn't help but feel a chill.

If Yin Tong had not been captured, this would also be Yin Tong's final destination.

"run!"

Yin Tong made a sound again, and the little girls received the order and turned into streams of light, rushing towards the top of the deep pit.

At this moment, a huge spider web appeared out of thin air on the sacrificial pit, and no light could get out.

Rumble!
There was a violent vibration under his feet, and an extremely dangerous aura came from the bottom of the pit, making Sangque instinctively want to escape.

Sang Que forced herself to stay where she was. She and Yin Tong were now baits. She had to make the Five Spirit Gods and the Earth Ghosts fight over them before she could survive.

Outside the altar, the five boys on the Five Spirits statues suddenly twitched and fell down, their eyes turned white and their mouths opened wide. The Five Spirits quickly escaped from their mouths and swam towards the deep pit of the altar, leaving only five boys' skins lying on the five statues.

Everyone was panicked and stood there in a daze, looking in the direction of the altar, not knowing what was going on.

At this moment, a huge creature jumped out from the bottom of the deep pit, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed all the bones, including Sangque and Yintong who were trapped in the bones, into its stomach.

The moment everyone saw the huge monster, they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, called out to the Five Spirit Gods, bowed their heads and kowtowed, not daring to look directly at it.

It was a gigantic monster with characteristics of the five spirits mixed together. Its body was a toad, with four legs like a gecko, and two tails, one a scorpion's tail and the other a gecko's tail. There was also a strange snake wrapped around its body, with a centipede's thousand legs.

In the oldest legend of Yunzhou, the original Five Spirit God was born from the Five Poison Gu Pit. It was a species that was created when people threw many of the Five Poisons into the pit and sealed it in the intention of breeding the strongest Gu. This species possessed all the power of the Five Poisons. Over time, it was revered by the people of Yunzhou as the supreme Five Spirit God.

Many people present, including Cheng Ge, saw the true form of the Five Spirit God for the first time.

When the Five Spirit Gods rushed out just now, Chengge clearly saw that Sangque and Yintong were swallowed up. Does this count as a completed sacrifice?
Yin Tong returns to the embrace of the Five Spirit Gods. Can they choose the next Five Spirit Saintess and regain the power of the Five Spirits?
As Cheng Ge lowered his head to think, he suddenly discovered that under the tree closest to him, there was a small shrine. Inside the shrine was a palm-sized black statue that looked like a mandrill.

The shrine of the earth ghost!
Chengge's heart trembled, and he quickly looked up and looked around, only to see that under all the trees around the altar were shrines of earth ghosts!
At this time, there was a larger dark shadow of the shrine, which was gradually covering the altar, and was about to take the altar and the Five Spiritual Gods that had just appeared in the altar into the shrine.
