The strange story of Huai'an Inn

Zhu Helan felt like a fire was cooking in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any emotion on his face.He said calmly, "Chongwu is a very important person to Chongliu. I advise you not to hurt him."

"Maybe it was very important to him before, but to the new him, even you are not worth mentioning." The black mist on Crow's body coiled around Chong Wu's body like tentacles, and the black strands It penetrates into the heavy skin and spreads like a lesion between the textures of the skin.

"Liu'er will not change." Zhu Helan replied firmly, and the blood-red mist was transpiring behind him, like the flames burning in hell. "He is different from you. He likes this world and cares about all the creatures here. He Live in the present, rather than an illusory and chaotic world." "His so-called liking is only because he is blinded by short-term memory. Do you really think that those people behind you are here to help you and him?" Sang Crow's The laughter was treacherous, as if it was hiding some secret that Zhu Helan didn't know, "Why would Daoist Qi Yao lend you the earth's energy so generously? The underground source soup of the Gushe tribe has been corroded by the earth's energy for nearly a thousand years, and the foul smell has long since disappeared. No matter how pure it is. Your locust tree eats so much dao qi, once the Qingming faction activates the formation, the dao qi will burst out in the blood of the locust tree. Why do Xu Hanke and Mr. Xuanwu have to go together? Don’t forget your emperor of the Central Plains How afraid of all filthy things, if you disappear, whose hands will the books and books in your inn fall into? At that time, can you still protect those craftsmen who have been brought under your wings?"

Zhu Helan knew that this was Sang Ya's trick to manipulate people's hearts. He was determined to ignore it, "Then what kind of future did your God of Chaos promise you?"

"The past, the present, and the future are nothing but illusions. We are trapped in the order and create our own lies." The figure of the raven gathers and disperses like a cloud of fog, sometimes appearing on his left, sometimes appearing in front of him right.His voice also came from every direction, with an indistinct echo, "We are bound by the rules we create, and we are full of prejudice against things we are not familiar with. You are someone who has seen another world, tell me, After seeing that kind of eternity, why would you want to stay in this boring world?"

"Most creatures in this world can't adapt to such a world at all. Do you really want to drive them all to extinction?"

"The strong prey on the weak, and those who cannot adapt to the changes deserve to be eliminated."

Zhu Helan then understood that Sang Ya was a lunatic who had been thoroughly brainwashed by the God of Chaos.He does not ask for all kinds of fetters in the world, and only wants to destroy everything.Such a person has no chance of being persuaded to return.

But he needs time, he and the locust tree alone can't resist the combination of Hydera and Dagon who doesn't know when to appear, not to mention the drum of the raven...

He has to wait until Liu'er comes back...

Zhu Helan suddenly smiled slightly, and his expression changed subtly.It was as if an invisible fishy-sweet aroma was blooming from his body, like flower buds opening layer by layer enticingly.

He restrained the red mist that was burning in the sky, but the tentacle-like hairs were still flying wildly behind him.He approached Crow, but his hostility and murderous aura disappeared.His bright eyes are like a deep well that devours the soul, and he can no longer escape from the captured sight.

Sang Ya was startled slightly, not quite understanding this sudden but subtle change.

Zhu Helan's red hair lightly swept over his shoulders and arms, hooking up with the power of darkness emanating from the great witch, "After 2000 years, our mother priestesses have been slaughtered by alchemists. If I didn't hide my strength, I wouldn't be able to survive." Up to now. You are right, they will not accept us, never will. In their eyes, we are monsters and eternal enemies."

Sang Ya looked at him unexpectedly, probably because he didn't expect to persuade the priestess so quickly.

Deep in his mind, he felt that something was wrong, but the strange thing was that he could hardly doubt and resist Zhu Helan's words.

He is too young after all.Back then, Zhu Helan recruited believers in order to water the locust trees, and when the worship of the sacred tree was in full swing, his ancestors were not born yet, and he never knew the power of the priests of the mother goddess to charm people's hearts.

Even though the methods of seduction, deceit and mind control taught by the God of Chaos are very mysterious and subtle, manipulating people's hearts is no problem, but compared to the most primitive instinct-based bewitching and attracting, the Mother Goddess of Everything is still better.A casual look from the former goddess priests was enough to cause thousands of believers to go through fire and water for them. The most accomplished of the ten even once controlled one of the most powerful dynasties in the Central Plains.

Perhaps it is because their charm technique is too strong that it is easy to arouse fear and hatred.Zhu Helan is well versed in this reason, and has refused to use her abilities lightly for so many years.

But what Zhu Helan was facing at this time was not ordinary human beings after all, but the messenger of the God of Chaos plus the demigod Hydra in the deep sea.

Zhu Helan's crimson clothes fluttered violently, and her smile became more and more attractive, "A long time ago, before I became a priest, the great witch in my clan predicted that when the envoys of the three main gods gather, order will collapse. The descendants of the Goddess of All Things will spread all over China, the drums of the God of Chaos will resound throughout the universe, and the holy book of the God of Omniscience will open the doors of the gods. This is the predestined mission of the three of us."

Crow's eyes widened slightly behind the mask, "Are you willing to help me?"

"I am the priest of the Goddess of All Things, and I have never had a choice." Zhu Helan raised his hand, and huge vines suddenly rose from the ground, like a huge cage that surrounded the alchemists and the alchemists who were surrounded by innocent people and monsters. Sailors are included.It seems to trap everyone, but in fact it also blocks Tianguren, water ghosts, and Hydera roaring above their heads.

All the confrontation came to an abrupt end.

Song Mingzi and Daoist Qi Yao stared blankly at Zhu Helan who had trapped their Taoism in the vines, unable to believe the latter's betrayal.On the other side, Liu Sheng also gritted his teeth and said to Xu Hanke, "He has been acting all the time, as you guessed, he has been on Tiangu's side from the very beginning!"

Xu Hanke looked at Mr. Xuanwu, and the two exchanged unexplained glances.

Sang Ya laughed loudly, "As expected of the priestess of the mother goddess, I have endured humiliation for so many years, even I think you have been assimilated by them!"

Zhu Helan put his hands into his sleeves, and walked a few steps forward calmly and confidently, indistinctly separating Sang Ya and Chong Wu.He circled Chongwu slowly, and said softly, "Although he is only a defective product, his strength is not weak. After opening the door today, the gods will come in, which will inevitably trigger Tao's counterattack. If the Taoist is awakened, a fierce battle It is inevitable. We need all the pieces we can use. If you want to sacrifice to the gods, those alchemists and the group behind me should be enough."

Crow suddenly raised his head, as if listening to something in the air.He reached out and took off the mask on his face, revealing the young and bloodless face.

"He's coming out soon." Crow had a childish smile on his face, his empty eyes filled with frantic excitement, "We should prepare the sacrifices to welcome the gods."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the tombstone-like stone gate of the majestic and towering temple.Zhu Helan raised his hand to draw an arc in the air, and made a grasping movement. Immediately, tree vines wrapped around all the trapped people, and followed his steps to extend to the ancient temple that the light could not penetrate. .He glanced at Zhong Wu, and saw a pulsating light in his empty eyes.

From just now, he quietly manipulated a thin tree vine along Chong Wu's ankle to climb up the back of his neck, and then burrowed into the skull.He hoped to find out the mystery of how the crow's drumbeat manipulates the will of the people in the shortest possible time, and then cut off that connection.

This is an almost impossible task.After Chong Liu's consciousness was invaded by mulberry crows, he spent so long and couldn't find a solution, let alone time is running out now.He can only hope that Sang Ya's control over Chong Wu is not that deep. After all, to achieve a deep level of consciousness invasion, he needs to eat witchcraft many times.

The thin branches cleverly penetrated into the cracks in the brain, searching aimlessly.At the same time, he still has to maintain the spiritual bewitchment of Crow and everyone around him. The huge demigod in the sky has not yet left, and everyone's life is hanging by a thread.

He also couldn't care less about Song Mingzi's searching gaze on him.

In front of the towering statue of Cthulhu, the sailors wrapped in branches were captured by fear and their faces were terrified.Many Tiangu wizards and wizards among the water ghosts wore cloaks and hoods, knelt down in front of the god statues, and chanted long and strange prayers.Sangya walked to the base engraved with strange runes under the statue, opened his hands to the statue and said a long series of heavenly scriptures that people in the Central Plains could not understand, praising the devourer of the sea and praising the crouching chaos, and finally expressed his gratitude to the whole world. Pray to the God of knowledge, praying that it will bestow the book of extremes.

"Priest of the Goddess of All Things, now is the time for you to prove yourself to the gods." Sang Ya turned around and looked at Zhu Helan closely, "Sprinkle the blood of these mortals on these runes, and the gods will accept our sacrifice." offering."

The frightened faces of the seamen, Xu Hanke and Mr. Xuanwu staring at him with unpredictable eyes, and Liu Sheng who refused to look at him, a traitor.Those alchemists were already cursing his betrayal, but Daoist Qi Yao remained silent, only Song Mingzi stared at him with a disbelieving expression.

Zhu Helan knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, and couldn't wait any longer.

Tentacles like red silk ribbons all over the sky were raised, and the sharp poisonous needles were aimed at everyone's face.

The next moment, Crow's smile froze on his face.

A tree vine pierced his chest.

At the moment when the accident happened suddenly, Chong Wu, who had always had a dull expression, suddenly moved, and the overwhelming blue tentacles wrapped around the body of the raven, and the poisonous mucus quickly corroded the body of the big witch.Tianguren and Shuigui roared angrily at the same time, trying to rush up, but were swallowed by the red mist that erupted from Zhu Helan's body.

In the limited space, the red mist immediately filled the entire temple.Wherever they passed, rapid and random distortions began to occur on Tianguren and Shuigui.Some people found that their five sense organs were melting, and they could no longer see or breathe; Tree-like vine-covered...

Just when Zhu Helan thought he had the upper hand, he suddenly heard a string of crows laughing in the mist.

Then came the drums.

The constant rumble and strange rhythm sounded harmless at first glance, but with the unexpected change of the drum beat, the thoughts began to shatter and crumble.That kind of feeling is like a person who is caught by the hair and hits the wall a dozen times hard, dizzy and unable to concentrate, and the whole world in front of him is spinning.

The red mist began to dissipate due to the loss of conscious control and support, and another mass of deeper darkness bloomed between the eyes of the statue of Cthulhu.Chong Wu unbelievably let go of the tentacles that were holding on to the crow, but found that there was nothing at all.

"I was almost deceived by you." Sang Ya condescended, sneered and said with a sneer, "But you forgot that the god I believe in is the god of deceit."

The figure of the great witch is indistinct, as if there are countless incarnations.But Zhu Helan couldn't concentrate on distinguishing which one was the real one.The drumming continued, and it was impossible to tell which direction it was coming from.

Behind them, the entrance to the temple has been blocked by a huge head of Hydera.I saw it open its huge mouth full of jagged coral rocks, and hot lava roared and surged deep in its throat.The rays of light quickly gathered, becoming more and more hot and dazzling, and the sulfur-scented wind surged in.In the next moment, the raging flames will engulf everyone, including the water ghost and Tianguren.

But at the moment when the flames were about to hit them, a strange scene appeared.

The lava seemed to hit some invisible wall, and began to spread around, but couldn't get any closer.The rippling ripples swayed like a piece of transparent sea water.Then the sea water pushed out in reverse, extinguishing the hot lava from the center of the earth all the way, and pushing towards the demigod Hydera outside the temple.

In front of Zhu Helan, there was obviously nothing there just a moment ago.The next moment, a familiar figure appeared.

Guan Chongliu stood in front of the crowd, seemingly unharmed, but his face was pale, his eyes were empty, and he was exhausted.Only when he saw Zhu Helan did a ray of light burst out.
