Volume 4, The Raven Demon Palace_Chapter 32, The Living Sacrifice Plan

The 507 will set up offices throughout the country to serve as branches for the control and handling of local affairs. Of course, the staff of the office is not fixed, and the branch in the big city naturally has more staff than the branch in the small place. For example, there will be more personnel in the branch of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land or the Evil Land, but a legendary-level evil land like Yaling Fort actually only sent five clerks, so it doesn't feel right. Moreover, Wang Shun, unlike several other clerks, is not determined to obey the Bone Sect. Therefore, maybe a few other clerks know more about the inside story, and if they can figure out some, it may be of great help to sort out the muddy waters of Yaling Fort.

"In front is the small building of the office...... "507's office in Yalingbao is located in another village, and the three-story building for the office is also the tallest building in the village.

When we walked to the door, the iron gate was hidden, and there was no sound in the door, and the people of the village were very unfriendly to us outsiders, but they were just like the people in the town, just glaring at us, and did not act excessively.

"They usually work on the second floor, that ...... Why don't I go up and have a look? Wang Shun wanted to go up first, I gave Qianli Yulang a look, he immediately grabbed Wang Shun's arm knowingly, and I pushed open the iron door and walked into the small building. As soon as you enter the small building, you can smell a faint fragrance, just like the smell of incense in a temple. I walked up the stairs to the second floor, when I heard some small voices, as if someone was chanting in the room. I walked lightly to one of the rooms, and looked through the glass, and there were a few fires in the darkness, presumably lit incense. There were several voices chanting scriptures, judging from the sounds, it should be four people, that is to say, most of the people in the office did not work for most of the day, hiding in the dark room to recite the scriptures. Moreover, the doors and windows are pasted with some symbols of the Bone Cult, which have no magic power in themselves, but are only religious symbols.

"It's fanatical." I sneered in my heart.

When I walked to the door and kicked the door open, the people inside were visibly taken aback, and heard someone shout at me, "Who is it?" ”

Reaching out and turning on the light in the room, the window facing the outside side has been completely blackened, plus the room itself is sunny, so even during the day it is dark. After turning on the lights, the four clerks inside immediately stretched out their hands to cover their eyes, and shouted even more angrily: "Who? Don't want to live anymore? ”

At a glance, in the center of the room, there was a statue of a god about 30 centimeters high, and judging from the appearance of the statue, it should be the ancient god of Mensui. In the setting image of the Bone Cult, the ancient god of Mensui has three pairs of arms, but the palms are different, one is a dragon claw, one is a tiger claw, one is a phoenix claw, one is a human hand, one is a lion claw, and one is a dry bone. There is only one head, but there are two faces, the black one representing destruction and the white face representing creation. At the same time, he wears three golden rings on his body, which represent the power to control time and space.

"Who are you?" When they saw me, one of the men stood up and yelled, and the others looked at me very unkindly.

"Don't you know that you can't interrupt the chanting? What village are you from? They asked.

I walked into the room, looked at the idol and said, "Are you clerks in the 507 Institute?" ”

"Do you know who we are?" They obviously didn't expect me to know who they were, and it was clear that I was in the circle.

"Eating imperial food but worshipping evil gods, you are also powerful enough. ......I went over and picked up the idol, and they immediately changed their faces and shouted at me, "Put the idol down!" What do you want? ”

"I'm Ba Xiaoshan, you should know me." Hearing me report to my home, several people immediately reacted, and one of them shouted: "What does it have to do with us when you check your Yaling Fort?" Freedom of religious belief, what do we believe the ancient gods of the Men Sui have to do with you? ”

"That's true, but you've blocked my channels so that I can't send my messages, and that's our business. Say! Why did the Raven Ridge Fort Bone Sect know I was coming? Did you have any secret missions? I asked. A few people looked at each other and sneered, and I frowned and asked, "What's so funny?" ”

"Why do you think we're going to answer you?"

"Don't you say yes? I have a way for you to say it. He raised his hand, and there was fire in his palm, but these people still did not have any fear in their expressions, but lowered their heads and recited the sutra, and said at the same time: "We have received eternal life, the ancient gods of the door have given us the blessing of eternal life, and now you burn me with karmic fire, and I will be reborn in the ashes......"

Then the four of them sat down cross-legged, chanting the scriptures continuously, which made me very embarrassed. Holding a statue of a god, I have to admit that the cult thing is really terrible, when a thing can make a person's consciousness transcend death and get rid of the fear of death, it is equivalent to cultivating a madman.

I put the idol back, and when I was thinking about what to do, Wang Shun and the former Li Yulang suddenly walked up.

"Didn't I tell you to wait outside?" I asked curiously.

"Outside...... The villagers all gathered around, and it didn't seem right. Qianli Yulang said anxiously, I hurriedly walked out and looked down through the window of the corridor, and sure enough, the villagers had somehow surrounded the whole small building!

"How do they know we're outsiders? Someone notified them to come and surround us? I asked strangely, and at this time Wang Shuncai said: "We disciples seem to have telepathy, especially those who follow the Bone Sect with all their hearts, they all seem to have some kind of connection with each other, when one disciple is threatened, other nearby disciples will also feel the danger and come to protect them as much as possible." ”

"Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier? Ba Xiaoshan, they surrounded the outside, we are afraid that we will not be able to get out, what should we do? Former Li Yulang asked me nervously.

I thought about it, then turned around and walked into the room again, and then I raised the idol, but the four people who were chanting the sutra ignored me, and I raised the idol and shouted, "If you don't answer my question, I'll smash the idol!" ”

When faith is more important than life, death does not threaten these believers, but they are not invulnerable. When faith is the most important, faith also becomes the greatest weakness.

Sure enough, as soon as I said this, the four people immediately panicked, I pretended to smash it, and the four people immediately tried to stop it, and their expressions became even more panicked.

"You can't blaspheme the Old Gods!" They shouted excitedly.

"Tell me everything I want to know, why not intercept the information I asked for reinforcements at the beginning and only block the others? Tell me everything I don't know! ”

It is undoubtedly sad when human beings are threatened by a statue and desperately try to protect it. After my words came out, several people looked at each other for a long time before they said, "This is related to the sect leader's plan, we can't say ......."

As soon as this statement came out, it was tantamount to telling me that their sect leader did have a plan, and that several of them were aware of it.

"The sect leader is also a servant of the ancient gods, if you don't say it, I will smash your ancient gods!" After saying that, I pretended to smash the idol, and the only woman among the four clerks seemed to be the most pious of the few, and when she heard it, she immediately shouted, "I tell you, don't destroy the idol." ”

"Can't tell!" The clerk next to her immediately tried to stop her, but she stood up and shouted, "The Sect Master needs a living sacrifice to be a vessel for the arrival of the ancient gods of the Gate!" But this news can't be leaked, so we closed all communication equipment and channels in the surrounding area. ”

"A living sacrifice? It's not just for ordinary women, right? And why didn't the message I asked for reinforcements in the first place be intercepted? I continued to ask.

"It's not that there was no interception, but that we tampered with. We changed the letter you sent to ask them to let the living sacrifice lead the reinforcements, so that the living sacrifice can obediently return to Raven Ridge Fort, which is equivalent to doing the sect leader a favor. "These words make me stunned, is the living sacrifice the people of the 507 Institute? In the flash of light, the face of "turning into a snake" suddenly popped up in my mind.
