Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 228 Purgatory Nine Netherworlds (1)
They walked out of the palace gate, and immediately someone came over with a big yellow umbrella to protect them from the rain.

The people of Dongzhi put on cloaks and stood in rows under the sacrificial altar. The third sacrificial offering was the most important, and no one dared to neglect it.

Gucheng and Yunqi climbed up to the high platform, and a shed was built above the platform to shelter from the rain. Gucheng received a stick of incense, and suddenly a picture flashed slightly, but his heart stabbed slightly.

That was Qi Wei's picture.

But in just two months, why does it feel like a long time has passed by?

He lifted his eyes slightly, and then turned to those who stood in the rain. Everything was a bondage, so even if they were asked to offer their children and grandchildren, they would be willing and never resisted.Gucheng turned his gaze, and then looked at the hundreds of shivering boys. Over the years, he watched such immature blood smear Dongzhi's altar step by step, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Now, everything is coming to an end.

He picked up the incense, then took the fire bag, and handed it to Yun Qi: "Light it up."

Yun Qi picked up the fire folder, and leaned closer to it, a wisp of green smoke rose up, just as Yun Qi moved his hand away, the stick of incense was extinguished immediately.

Yun Qi's hand trembled, he knew what it meant.

He took a look, but found that he was just looking at him calmly, and said, "Light it up."

Yun Qi lit the fire again, but it went out without any accident.

When the Tianguan next to him saw it, his face changed drastically, and cold sweat fell from his head.

Yun Qi looked at the extinguished incense and said, "It doesn't burn."

Gucheng still looked at him calmly: "After smearing with your blood, go for some."

He said as he brushed Yun Qi's hand, there was a small wound immediately, Yun Qi looked at the drops of blood, then dripped her onto the incense burner, and tapped it again with the fire, this time The fire seemed to be getting bigger, Yun Qi took his hand away, and this time it never went out again.

The Tianguan next to him often breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt more and more uneasy in his heart.

At this moment, Gu Cheng turned around, stretched out his hand, and said, "Let's go."

The two of them walked down the stone steps, and they suddenly remembered bursts of Sanskrit singing, and at this moment, the sky and the earth were suddenly traversed by a white light, and then, there was a violent "click", as if the whole world was trembling!
Dongzhi finally ushered in the first thunderstorm of the year, but today's thunderstorm came at an inopportune time!
The thunder pierced down, but the Dongzhi people below suddenly exclaimed, and saw that the incense sticks on the high platform were instantly blown away by the thunder!
what happened? !
Everyone looked at Gucheng, their high priest, but Gucheng just said coldly: "Continue."

Everyone suppressed the surprise in their hearts and followed behind them.

Yun Qi was next to Gucheng, but found that his gray pupils turned out to be determination, and such determination pierced his heart like a thorn.

However, the footsteps of Gucheng are still strolling in the courtyard.

Enter the palace again, beside the holy lake.

Standing there, Gucheng finally closed his eyes coldly, the sound of Sanskrit singing came wave after wave, and amidst such Sanskrit singing, Gucheng said coldly: "The sacrifice begins."

Those children were pushed up, trembling one by one, staring at him blankly with their eyes open, praying.

Gucheng walked towards them slowly, reached out and patted their foreheads lightly. He patted them one by one, as if performing some kind of ritual. After his hand passed over their heads, a hundred executioners left Come up, take the long knife.

At this time, a sharp voice sounded: "Slow!"

It is a taboo thing to be disturbed during the sacrificial ceremony. Everyone turned their heads angrily. At this time, a man came up with a girl. The girl's face was pale, and her eyes were tightly closed, as if Not the slightest bit angry.

However, when the girl was pushed in front of Gucheng, Gucheng seemed to be restrained by something, and there was a moment of blankness in his mind for a moment.

Qi Wei.

The man said: "High Priest, please kill this woman with your own hands! Use her blood to kick off the sacrificial ceremony of God."

No one thinks it is wrong to say such words. It is impossible to carry out the torture in such weather. In such a sacrifice, it is best for the high priest to kill himself to show respect for the god.

Gu Cheng's hands were trembling slightly, and he could only look at her quietly.

She doesn't know the truth.

And he knew that no matter whether it was true or not, he could no longer raise his hand in the face of such a face.

But the man said: "High Priest! Use your hand to end her life. Otherwise, the gods will be angry."

In the heavy rain, a thunderbolt suddenly fell and hit the ground heavily, causing everyone to be shocked.

Gu Cheng's lips were tightly pursed, his face was pale without the slightest trace of blood, and everyone looked at him quietly, waiting.

There is only the sound of the rain falling.

People's hearts tightened, but another voice rang out: "Do you think that your high priest is still the same high priest? He has already been expelled by God."

Everyone was startled, turned around, and saw a Ruhua figure coming in the rain without being stained with dust.

He was also dressed in purple, and his long snow-white hair fell down, carrying some kind of breathtaking power.

I don't know who shouted: "The river drowns the high priest!"

He Yan was the high priest three generations ago, isn't he already dead? !

But now, he stood in front of everyone clearly and said those words.

For a split second, everyone was startled and uncertain. In the confrontation between the two generations of high priests, who is real and who is fake?

Standing in front of Gucheng, Heyan said with a voice like a bell: "Gucheng, are you still obsessed with your obsession? What have you done? Do you want to drag the entire East Branch to death?"

Gucheng looked at him coldly, with indescribable contempt in his eyes, as if he was too lazy to talk nonsense with the person in front of him, even though he was the former high priest of Dongzhi Kingdom.

Even the high priest has different abilities due to different bloodlines, such as Guangyuan and others in the past, or Gucheng and Heyan now.Because of their blood, they can see things that others cannot.

Gu Cheng said: "Pull him down to me."

The people next to him looked at each other in blank dismay, hesitated for a while and finally stepped forward.

He Yan glared coldly at the guards, who immediately dared not move any more. He pointed to the isolated city and said to the people: "People of Dongzhi, are you still going to be deceived by this person? Out of phase, can't it explain the problem?"
