The summit of Fuji Peak is covered with snow.

Looking up from the bottom of the mountain, the conical mountain with an altitude of more than 3,700 meters towers into the clouds, and the peak is like an upside-down jade fan handle, and the area is very narrow. But if you look down from the sky, you will see that the spire is actually made up of eight peaks.

Everyone who knows anything about Jepon knows that this is the world-famous "Eight Peaks of Tomyoshi", namely Kenmine, Hakuyamadake, Kusushi, Daihi, Izu, Segi, Komagake, and Sandake. Eight peaks are arranged in a ring, and together they guard the huge jagged crater in the middle, which is 800 meters in diameter and 200 meters deep.

At the southern foot of Mt. Kusushidake, the highest of the eight peaks, there is a relatively gentle open field, a tall red torii archway, standing in the middle, on the top of the torii, "Misho Shrine" four golden characters, in the sparse and dim starlight, flashing mysterious golden light.

Behind the torii is a splendid temple terrace that extends back continuously, occupying most of the space in this open area.

This is the shrine dedicated to the supreme god of Jepon and the supreme ancestor "Gosho Okami", and the headquarters of the Gosho Shrines scattered throughout Jepon, and it is also the foundation of the Goshin religion. Every day of the year, every month, countless tourists come to visit the mountain, and countless believers come here to pray for the blessing of the gods. The towering buildings and majestic layout of the shrine have fascinated countless researchers and tourists, and also made believers suddenly increase their faith and piety countless times.

But no one knew that behind this massive shrine there was a narrow mountain path that almost no one was qualified to enter. Along this mountain trail over the summit of Mount Kusushidake, there is a small temple-shaped building with an area of no more than 10 square meters on the cliff about 100 meters from the bottom of the crater.

The temple building is extremely old, and it is not known when it was left behind. The exterior walls have been mottled, revealing the blue tiles inside. Its appearance is very simple, not to mention compared to the shrines outside, and even compared to the most dilapidated temples in Jepon.

But everyone who is qualified to hear about this little monastery knows it deeply. Even if all the shrines and temples in the empire are combined, they are not as important as this extremely inconspicuous dilapidated temple.

Because, here, is the real core of the Okami Sect, the place where the successive sect leaders are stationed, and the place where the bones are buried after death - Asama Temple.

And now, in this small building, an unusually strange sacrifice is going on.

In the narrow hall, three old men in black sat cross-legged on the outermost part according to the direction of the three talents. Holding a blood-red short sword about a foot long, his eyes were slightly closed, and his mouth was full of words.

Further inside, seven blood-red candlesticks were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, and I don't know what material was used, and the light emitted by the red candles on the candlesticks was also blood-red. Constantly shaking in the air.

In the middle of the hall is a circular blood-red altar. It is painted with strange and mysterious symbols, which are constantly changing under the light of blood-red candles. The entire hall was filled with a thick and strange aura.

A wisp of breath slowly drifted in from outside the hall. The old man in black, who was sitting cross-legged on his right, opened his eyes suddenly. The blood-red short sword in his hand pointed at this breath, and shouted in his mouth, "E!" ”

There was a soft sound of "pop", and the faint breath suddenly exploded in the air, making a crisp sound. In the air, there was a faint red mist. The black-clothed old man waved his short sword, and the faint red mist seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, and the birds threw themselves into the Big Dipper Heavenly Pivot made of candlesticks, and the blood-red light flickered slightly, becoming brighter and brighter.

Soon, the second wisp of breath also drifted into the hall, and the old man in black on the right used the same technique to turn into a faint blood mist and throw it into the candlestick of Tianxuan.

Immediately after that, there is the third path, which is guided to the Celestial position.

Immediately, the fourth and fifth breaths floated into the hall almost at the same time, and the black-clothed old man on the left sat cross-legged on his knees, the blood-red short sword waved one after another, and the two blood mist quickly threw into the two positions of shaking light and opening yang.

The sixth breath almost floated into the hall immediately after the fifth, and the black-clothed old man on the left side danced with a short sword, and shouted in his mouth, "E! This breath burst lightly, put it into the position of Yuheng, and after doing this action, the old man in black gasped one after another, his chest rose and fell sharply, and a drop of sweat the size of a bean rolled down his forehead, this seemingly simple action seemed to consume the strength of his whole province!

The two old men beside them were shocked, they didn't expect that this breath would come so quickly and violently, what was the origin of the enemy outside, and they could kill so quickly in the Mountain Protector Array, like harvesting rice? If it weren't for the quick reaction, this would be enough to disrupt the normal operation of the circle!

In the violent gasp of the old man on the right, the seventh breath quickly broke into the hall, and the black-clothed man sitting in the middle moved the tip of his tongue, and the short sword in his hand pointed like lightning.

"Edict!" The sharp voice exploded in the hall like spring thunder, and the breath "snapped" and splashed in all directions, turning into a red blood mist, and exhaled the candlestick that was thrown into the heavenly power position.

"Huh-" At the moment when this wisp of blood mist was thrown into the candlestick, the blood-red candlelight of the originally most dim Heavenly Power Position candlestick suddenly rose more than a meter high, and the entire interior of the hall was illuminated in bright red.

The three black-clothed men stood up dreamily, stepping on the mysterious position under their feet, and quickly turned around the hall, the blood-red long sword in their hands waved one after another, and began to spit out a series of obscure incantations from their mouths.

As the footsteps of the three black-clothed old men continued to speed up, as the obscure incantations became more and more urgent, the candlesticks on the Seven Star Position began to spread along the route from the Heavenly Power Position to both sides, Tianji, Yuheng, Tianxuan, Kaiyang, Tianshu, Shake Light, one candle after another lit up in order, the hall became brighter and redder, and the air began to roll, already with a thick bloody meaning!

The short swords of the three black-clothed men seemed to be tied to a thousand pounds of weight, and the speed of swinging became slower and slower, and the violent wheezing sound sounded like an old ox pulling a cart in the hall.

In the heavy gasp, the blood-red short sword in the hand of the black-clothed old man in the middle suddenly stood up, and a mouthful of blood sprayed straight onto the short sword, and he shouted: "In the name of blood, communicate with the underworld, in the name of blood, sacrifice to the gods, and in the name of blood, summon my king - disease!" ”

With this "boom", the blood sword of the man in black in the middle 'emitted mystical symbols in the air, and the thick blood mist that permeated the hall suddenly gathered to form a huge blood-colored pillar of light, which rushed straight to the outside of the hall and slowly descended towards the bottom of the crater.

The descent speed of the blood-colored pillar of light was unusually slow, and in the hall, the three black-clothed old men gasped, and three mouthfuls of blood sprayed on the blood pillar one after another, and the blood pillar suddenly shone brightly, and a little blood light fell directly to the bottom of the valley.

"Boom!"

A loud and dull sound emanated from the bottom of the valley, reaching straight into the sky, and the entire Fuji Peak seemed to shake at this moment, and the huge crater at the bottom of the valley appeared with a faint wave of spiritual energy.

Knowing this time, the expressions of the three black-clothed old men in the small hall relaxed a little, the blood sacrifice passage had been completed, the glory of the Divine Sect was already close at hand, and in time, it would not be difficult to rule the world, and at that time they were the ones who stood at the pinnacle of this world!

But they still didn't dare to slack off a little, because the aura with a faint smell of blood was pouring in from outside the hall one after another, and it was getting faster and faster, and it was getting thicker and thicker, almost forming a high-speed passage of blood and qi.

The faces of the three black-clothed men became complicated, both shocked by the speed of the enemy's killing, and pleased with the abundance of blood and qi, but also faintly worried, if the blood sacrifice method has not been completely completed, that terrible enemy has already been killed, how to deal with it?

Dense blood qi surged in the hall along the mysterious route formed by the seven-star candlestick, wave after wave towards the blood-colored pillar of light leading to the crater of the valley, and gradually, the snow on the top of the entire Fuji Peak was gone, but turned into an evil blood-red that enveloped the entire peak. The crater at the bottom of the valley was completely covered by the blood qi that was so thick that it almost turned into a solid body, and in this strange blood qi, huge black rocks began to emit a slight vibration.

The blood at the bottom of the valley became thicker and thicker, and the rocks shook faster and more violently, and a roar faintly came from under the rocks, as if some huge beast was buried in the ground.

Finally, a huge rock could no longer withstand such a tremor, and it disintegrated with a thud, and a hot dark red liquid of thousands of degrees above the rock gurgled out from under the rock, flowing slowly at the bottom of the valley like a small river.

This volcano, which has not erupted for thousands of years, has reused magma at this time!

The dark red magma seemed to be slow, but in fact it spread rapidly along the narrow cracks at the bottom of the valley, and everywhere it went, the solid black volcanic stones quickly became soft and hot, and soon melted into a liquid by the red-hot magma, merging into the dark red magma and slowly flowing around.

"It's done!" The three black-clothed men in the hall glanced at each other, as if they had been stimulant, their eyes shot with excitement, the blood sword in their hands swung more quickly, and the spell in their mouths was pronounced faster.

At this time, with a loud "boom", the door of the small hall was instantly knocked away, exploded into small pieces in the air, and in the midst of the flying sawdust, a black shadow flew into the hall like lightning, smashed into the opposite wall, smashed the wall made of stone out of a big pit, and then slammed it to the ground, instantly out of breath.

The three black-clothed old men turned their heads in shock, and a tall figure was covered in blood, standing standing at the door of the broken hall, holding a slender three-edged combat knife in his hand, and his body was murderous! (To be continued.) )
