Wicked documents

Chapter 131 – Keyhole

Although the method and process were full of weirdness, when the sacrificial vessel was delivered to the eyes, no matter who it was, the first reaction was to catch it first.

Luo Ying's bewilderedness, Ludia's awkwardness, and Weixi's pensiveness, these three people's expressions made up a whole set of frowning faces.

Huo Lian held his indifference and calmness, held Chizhang in both hands, and walked towards the central altar with a steady step on his feet, one step ahead of the others.

After he took such a lead, the other three also woke up from a dream and followed suit one after another.Ling Wen had already explained the whole procedure to them in advance, as long as there is no major problem with memory, it is actually not difficult to follow it in a short time.

As usual, there is still no sacrifice to gouging out the heart, but the so-called first-time life and second-time familiarity, Huolian picked up the sharp blade that has accumulated so many layers of blood stains step by step. This thing has been a magic weapon since it was first cast. , after so many years, the sharpness has not diminished at all. Only when Huo Lian's finger is about to touch it, blood beads have already burst out.

According to the procedure, it was Luo Ying's turn to donate blood next.Without thinking too much, she immediately stretched out her hand to ask for the dagger.

Huo Lian didn't hand it over, glanced at her, and said at this juncture that he could never speak, "You don't need to do anything, it's enough to stand here and help me stand in place of the former four big families. The rest of the things I can do it myself."

The other two companions haven't fully understood yet, but Weixi is different, she already knows much more about the old past than others.She immediately raised a pair of big silver-gray eyes, staring at Huo Lian full of horror.If it weren't for the fact that the altar was too high for her, she might have rushed to snatch the evil and ominous object in Huo Lian's hand.

Huo Lian swept over Weixi's hesitation to speak, and unexpectedly chose this moment to laugh heartlessly. He not only smiled sincerely, but also had a bright taste. "You can say what you want to say. Although there is indeed a 'non-speakable' rule in the sacrificial ceremony, most of these red tapes are ceremonial and have no substantive meaning. No matter what Ling Wen explained before, you can now forgotten."

Although Huo Lian's words are general and vague, Weixi still draws many conclusions based on the information she has acquired——

Ritual procedures are meaningless, and Weixi agrees with this very much, but it's a pity that she was born with a lowly mixed race, if it wasn't for the monsters and beasts' prosperity and decline, and finally reduced to a puddle of mud, even if it was just making up the numbers, what would it be? Will it be her turn to participate in the sacrifice?All Weixi only knows the general idea, but she has never mastered too many details. She doesn't know which programs are just for icing on the cake.

But Weixi didn't care much about those, at the moment she just wanted to figure out what Huolian was going to do.Judging from just now, he seems to be preparing to serve as a sacrifice again?

"There was Bai Xinyue last time, but you plan to bear it alone this time?" Since there is no need to continue to silence, Weixi no longer maintains silence. She not only opened her mouth, but also raised her voice very high, which sounds Extra sharp.

Even if she didn't remind her, Huo Lian couldn't forget that scene.A drop of blood that dripped into the altar almost killed Bai Xinyue afterwards.And all the actions that day were completed under Weixi's instigation.

Huo Lian's eyes crossed the altar and landed on Weixi's face, his smile was still there, and his eyes were calm and soft. To blame could only be blamed on Weixi for being a guilty conscience, always feeling that the other party was condemning him.After being frozen for a moment, Weixi, who believed that she had a clear conscience, put on a small face, trying to maintain a calm and composed shell.

In fact, Huo Lian really didn't intend to blame her at all.Even though Huo Lian was full of complaints towards this little girl during the period when Bai Xinyue was unconscious and her life was in danger, there was still a difference between complaining and blaming.

What's more, Huo Lian still thinks that it's not a frank act to settle accounts after the autumn. Since he didn't criticize him at the beginning, he won't even say a word at this moment——Bai Xinyue is no longer around, and he has no corresponding position.

Regardless of whether the mood is difficult or not, Huo Lian did skip Bai Xinyue's words verbally, and said the next words to the other three together, "Who exactly set up this altar when and when?" , This point may be difficult to verify, but one thing is very clear - this altar has a lot of 'appetite'. If you drip blood into it, the consequences will definitely not be too good."

At that time, the patient who fell into a coma due to unexplained bleeding symptoms will not be as simple as a single person.Before Huolian was able to rescue Bai Xinyue, he himself thought it was pure luck.But let him go back to the past and retrieve the three of them in one go, he really doesn't think he has that ability.

The topic just now was mainly about Bai Xinyue, of course Weixi could also wear a mask to cover herself, but now that she has a thorough understanding of Huo Lian's plan, no matter how strong the mask is, it can only be broken into powder. "Do you want one person to replace the four of us?" Weixi was shocked, although she didn't say it clearly, the implication of this sentence is clearly - are you crazy? !

Regarding the obvious facts, Huo Lian was really too lazy to answer.The short knife twirled around his fingertips, and before the silver flower faded, new blood beads had already appeared, and he would kill himself quietly, and cut himself again in the blink of an eye.

"I'm fine." Huo Lian took a break from his busy schedule, raised his head and said this.

According to his original intention, it should be to soothe the worries of others.It's just that he didn't know his tone well, or because the timing of speaking was wrong. Not only did this sentence fail to work smoothly, but it also blew up other people's emotions.This time, not only Weixi, but also Luo Ying and Ludia, who reacted a little slower, also sensed something was wrong, and stretched out their hands to try to stop the firebird's next crazy move.

If they are really intercepted successfully, it will be even more difficult to gather the necessary conditions for the sacrifice next time.And to achieve the real goal, one must choose a very special time, once missed, Huo Lian really doesn't know if he can wait until the next time.Immediately, he no longer hesitated, moved his nimble fingers, and the new knife flower was rolled up, and inside were two red coral-like blood beads.

A total of four drops of blood slowly soaked into the altar's depressions.

Although the altar has been in a deserted state for thousands of years, in the most prosperous era of monsters and beasts, the altar has absorbed so much blood that the deposited red ash has been lingering for years. A thick layer was left in the groove.However, the blood left over from the past has never been like it is today, every drop comes from the most noble monsters.

Except for Huo Lian, the other three people present immediately realized that this matter was unusual, and instinctively held their breath, quietly waiting for a certain vision to come.

They were deep in thought, but they gave Huo Lian a break - no matter who looked at him at this time, he would immediately find that his face was suddenly painted with white paint, which was abnormally pale.

Monster beasts have always regarded blood as the carrier of strength and life. From this point of view, Huo Lian really worked extremely hard, contributing the blood of four people in one breath.Having reached this point, it is not uncommon for her face to look a little ugly.

In fact, not only did his face change, Huo Lian was already dizzy and on the verge of collapsing.So he had no choice but to quickly end the matter in the space where others had temporarily "forgotten".

Huo Lian reached into his bosom and took out a jade pendant.

It is said that it is a jade pendant, but it is not the kind that is mainly used for decoration, because this piece of jade does not look very transparent, and it is not the kind of blood or earth that is unique to ancient jade. It should be born with this inconspicuous look like.It is not good enough because the texture of this jade pendant is extremely hard, otherwise it would not be able to engrave so many textures, and the finest patterns are almost like drawn by meticulous brushwork.

The quality of jade is extremely poor, but the carving technique is uncanny.

When this jade pendant of unknown purpose appeared in the world, the weather-beaten and unmoving altar seemed to have some kind of induction, and suddenly changed.And it's not the last time it moved to the side, showing the rough change of the secret passage below.

The altars in the four directions have been "peeled" off the outer skin, just like a flower bud suddenly broke free from the sepals wrapped in the outer layer, and the tender petals slowly unfolded one after another.Of course, the main structure of the altar is still mainly made of stone, but under the action of exquisite mechanisms, the bloom of stone petals is still smooth and stretched.

Seeing such an incredible scene with my own eyes, thousands of words seem to be insufficient to describe it properly. Luo Ying covered her mouth, while Ludia opened her eyes wide.

Only Weixi didn't understand, only a hook appeared at the tip of her eyebrows, she didn't know whether it was happiness or worry.

The flowers on the stone altar were fully bloomed, revealing the "stamen" part that was wrapped in layers, or protected by layers. A slender stone pillar stood in the middle, about the thickness of an adult man's arm.On the top of the stone pillar, there is a pre-reserved groove, which clearly implies that others need to place something here.

Everyone else was admiring the exquisite mechanism, but Huo Lian didn't care about it. Strictly speaking, he couldn't even see the whole process clearly.Recently, many scenes have become more and more out of his control, and the past that suddenly flashed before his eyes just now made him lose his mind for a moment——

"Are you really planning to set up the agency here?" Although she didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of objection was still very clear. With the high priest Haoyan's behavior style, she rarely expressed her personal meaning so clearly.

After all, Paradise Island is the territory of the Shui Clan. If you want to do something here, even if you are the emperor, you need to say hello to Haoyu out of politeness.However, it was just a greeting.Which of the emperor Xiran's actions in recent years is not going his own way?As long as he made a decision, no matter how much resistance he faced, he was bound to stick to it.

Xi Ran's fingers brushed across the altar, stopping for a while on every heart-shaped groove.Should it be said that he is careless at the moment, or should he be insinuating, in short, there are very few people who can understand the emperor's emotions nowadays.But his tone was indeed calm, even indifferent, "Monsters and beasts have been offering sacrifices here all year round, rain and wind, and they don't ask for many things. It's nothing more than the reproduction of the race. I left the 'keyhole' in the Here, it can be regarded as appropriate to the situation.”

Hao Yan frowned, even though she had no basis, she still thought that the emperor's words were just a random excuse, just perfunctory.

Xi Ran smiled and looked at the other party with interest.The high priest has an indifferent personality. Unlike most monsters and dignitaries, he is actually the worst at scheming, and now he has even begun to suspect him.Xi Ran seriously reflected on it, and came to the conclusion that it was probably because she was always deceiving the poor priest, which slowly cultivated her vigilance.

As if completely admiring, Xi Ran waved her hand, "Well, let me tell you the truth, the main reason why I chose this place is to avoid people's eyes and ears. Under the current situation, it is extremely important to leave something behind. Easy, absolutely not known by 'that person'."

From Hao Yan's point of view, it is still impossible to conclude that what the other party said is the truth, but compared to the previous excuse, this time the credibility is indeed much higher, and she even heard the guarded meaning in his words.She repeated in a murmur, "That person? Could it be the Baizi you have been protecting and supporting?"

Just mentioning slightly, the two sides have already tacitly understood, Xi Ran couldn't help sighing, "Why do you put all the disturbances on his head? Don't you think it's unfair?" These are two completely opposite races. Xi Ran had tried many methods, hoping to reverse the prejudice between them, but apart from being accused of "protection", he had little effect.

If it were another person, they would probably be silent under the emperor's condemnation, thanks to Hao Yan's indifference in the world, and he didn't take it seriously.She could even ask further, "I admit that our point of view is too biased. But what about you? Can you categorically assert that Bai Zi is really innocent?"

Probably because she didn't expect to be questioned unexpectedly at this moment, Xi Ran was shocked.After thinking for a long time, I could only end up with a sigh.

What Haoyan said was right, he couldn't.No matter how convincing it is on the surface, deep down in his heart, he doesn't think that Xiao Bai is truly innocent.
