Concubine Allure: Pick up a prince and grab the country

Chapter 456 Chapter 503

"The mural said that after Xiao Qi became the high priest, he was ordered by the emperor to go to the palace to hold a grand blessing sacrifice for the previous dynasty. He met a woman and fell in love with him, and thus violated the taboo of priests. Xiao Qi didn't care about the taboo of Shensimen, and continued to be with that woman. Not long after, the woman became pregnant. Because of violating the taboo of Shensimen, Xiao Qi suffered a backlash, and his body and soul gradually withered. If he wanted to save himself, We can only use the lives and blood of the mother and child to sacrifice to the altar, but Xiao Qi would rather lose his soul and never be reborn, but also save the lives of the mother and child."

Backlash——

blood sacrifice—

Yan Qingcheng's fingers trembled subconsciously, only to feel that the moment these two words penetrated into the ear, as if some kind of poisonous insect had penetrated into the eardrum, an inexplicable uneasiness arose.

Chu Yuanheng's voice continued calmly.

"Until the day the child was born, Xiao Qi's body completely withered into a skeleton, and her soul was sucked into the altar. In order to reshape Xiao Qi's body, the woman sacrificed her blood to the altar, and the woman's blood flowed into the high priest from the altar. In the dead bones, the dead bones really returned to the flesh, but the woman died out of blood and turned into dry bones. Although Xiao Qi returned to the flesh, she was lifeless... and their children became the next generation of high priests."

Before they knew it, they had finished the last mural. Yan Qingcheng didn't expect such a beautiful but thrilling story to be hidden in the underground palace. She looked at the mural in a daze, and sighed:

"I didn't expect Xiao Qi's story to be so tragic."

Chu Yuanheng said:

"Those who become the high priests of the Shensimen must abandon love and love, maintain a pure body, and cannot reproduce offspring. At this time, Xiao Qi violated all three of the iron training of the high priests of the Shensimen for thousands of years. He will be punished by the gods."

Yan Qingcheng said angrily for some reason:

"What kind of overlord clauses are set by this priest. The punishment for the high priest is too cruel. The high priest is also a mortal body and a human being. How could he not have all kinds of emotions and six desires?"

Chu Yuanheng looked at Yan Qingcheng with a solemn face and said:
"This is the price of becoming the high priest of the priest."

Yan Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"Since this Shensimen is superior to the imperial power of the previous dynasty, what about the royal family of Qi State?"

Chu Yuanheng said seriously:

"The royal family of the Qi Kingdom is not under the influence of Shensimen." He paused, and then changed the topic, "But we still maintain our respect for Shensimen."

Not to be coerced, but to be in awe, which shows that the power of Shensimen should not be underestimated. No wonder some people would rather abandon love and love to become the high priest of Shensimen.

Suddenly, Yan Qingcheng thought that Qianjin and Nanjing had similar homonyms, and they were both related to Shensimen. She vaguely felt that Nanjing was inextricably linked to the former Dynasty. As for what is this connection?She is not sure yet, so she can only check it out when she has a chance in the future.

Yan Qingcheng turned around and looked at the altar under the center of the treasure roof, and said:

"Could this be the altar mentioned in the mural?"

Chu Yuanheng also turned around, looked at the altar and said:
"This should be just an imitation altar. Shensimen's main rudder is in Nanjing, and the real altar should be in Nanjing." Shensimen has always been mysterious, and even his power cannot penetrate half of it. Find out more about the inside story of Shensimen.

Yan Qingcheng walked towards the altar curiously. Just as Chu Yuanheng wanted to hold him back, he felt that someone was stopping him from moving forward. When he came back to his senses, Yan Qingcheng had already touched the edge of the altar. Qingcheng seems to be very relaxed in this underground palace, very different...
