Chapter 120: The so-called shortcut
Eventually, the wandering red pillar of light locked onto the two men and stopped moving.
The three of them were in the distance on the periphery, and they couldn't see the situation in the crowd clearly, but at the moment when the beam stopped, the surging crowd next to them instantly quieted down.
Except for the two who were shrouded in the beam, everyone consciously knelt down and bowed, and shook their heads. They are not only worshipping the stars in the sky, but also paying homage to the two heavenly darlings who have been chosen, and they are about to transcend the mortal world and become immortals outside the sky.
Just now it was still so fanatical and confused, and in an instant, these tens of thousands of people were able to bow down respectfully.
In the darkness, the air was eerily quiet, and it seemed that the tens of thousands of people in front of them were holding their breath and taking away their existence. They were crazy like that just now, but they are all the most devout believers at the moment, and the rapid change of roles is eye-popping.
Clear Lake was also shocked.
In this square inch and in a moment, is the bizarre and strange behavior of these tens of thousands of people from the heart, or is it manipulated by something?
"What the hell is that?" The peach branch fairy looked at the two old men standing in the beam of light, they seemed to be held by invisible hands, and began to slowly rise into the air.
They waved happily and threw down the ornaments from their bodies. The people who knelt down didn't dare to make any rash moves, and they all looked up at the two quasi-immortals who were about to ascend to immortals. They don't dare to rob the ornament when they land, because this is the gift of the "immortals", and if you get it by luck, you will have a fate, and you can't grab it.
"What is this?" The Peach Branch Fairy was a little incredulous, the situation in front of her was not what she thought, and she was actually quite moved by the atmosphere of the crowd, as if she was really witnessing a sacred ascension puja.
"It's a snake." Qinghu patted the peach branch fairy on the head, "Little peach, be sober." ”
The surroundings were too quiet, and Qinghu lowered his voice and said, "Don't you smell blood?" There is also earthworm powder added to the lamp oil, which is used to attract snakes. ”
As soon as Qinghu arrived near Shengsendai, he noticed the arrangement of this series of snakes, and the moment the two red stars appeared, Qinghu recognized them as snake eyes, and only snake eyes had such lines.
Why did the temple of Laiye deliberately attract snakes?
Seeing now, Qinghu was finally able to confirm that the "he" in Luochen's mouth was the snake in front of him. Because he questioned the way of heaven, an immortal who was imprisoned here turned into a snake, and today he was forced to eat the sacrifice.
And the people he ate made it a legend that someone would ascend every ten years in the Temple of Laiye.
Qinghu is a little dumbfounded, is this the truth of the so-called shortcut to ascension?
"Snakes?" The peach branch fairy looked at the two red stars in the sky again, and the peach blossom eyes looked at Zhuang Ji, who said "um" softly.
"But I didn't sense the demon." The peach branch fairy's mana was sealed instead of being lost, and she should be able to sense the breath of the snake, she didn't quite understand.
"Because that's not a demon." The blood-colored jade bow in Qinghu's hand slowly surfaced in the palm of his hand, and in the darkness, the red blood seemed to be flowing quietly in the jade bow, and the flowing blood revealed a faint dark light.
"It turns out that the Luochen Divine Bow is used to kill snakes?" The Peach Branch Fairy looked at the slowly growing divine bow in Qinghu's hand, and was very puzzled: "The Laiye Temple is recruiting snakes on the one hand, and on the other hand, recruiting people to kill snakes, what do they want to do?" ”
What the Laiye Temple wanted to do, Qinghu didn't know very well, but with the Luochen Divine Bow in her hand, she could clearly see the giant snake hiding in the dark.
The pitch-black giant snake has a huge snake body, and I don't know if a hundred people can hug it. Qinghu saw that there were chains running through the snake's body, and there were so many chains that it seemed that every snake bone had not been spared, and the end of the chain was fixed on the stone chamber on the Ascension Terrace. The small stone chamber is not as big as the snake's tail, but it is a shackle that the giant snake cannot break free.
Qinghu saw that the two old men who had risen into the sky in the pillar of light had already arrived at Shekou's position. The mouth of the snake slowly opened, and even the peach branch fairy on the side smelled an unusual fishy smell, she touched Qinghu with her elbow and said, "It's going to eat people, don't you want to do it yet?" ”
