Chapter 481: Ceremony Suspended
"You're such a traitor, you actually used firearms and explosives in the sacrificial realm where you worship the gods!" Although the leader was furious, from the tone of his voice, you could still find that he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart and maintain the demeanor of the leader of a religion.
, did not explode on the spot, but directed people around him to put out the fire and stop the explosion.
Wanlin was about to stop her when she heard a gust of wind passing by. Wanlin let out a soft "Ah" and then there was no movement.
I lay there unable to move and could only listen to the movements around me. I couldn't see clearly what was going on at Wanlin's side on the altar. I just felt anxious. I guessed that she might have been directly poisoned or cursed by her father.
She was restrained before she would cause any trouble.
Although tiger poison does not eat its seeds, the leader still wants Wanlin to inherit his career, so he should not harm her, but when he thinks of those weird and uncomfortable poisonous insects, even if they do not cause actual harm, they will only cause physical and mental damage.
Thinking about the pain and suffering, it makes people feel distressed.
After a while, I heard several people who looked like close confidants reporting to the leader: "All the fire mines planted by the young master have been eliminated and will not explode again. However, many ritual sacrificial vessels have exploded in the past."
The place has been destroyed, should we stop the ritual of sacrificing the Three Corpses Creation Gu?"
The leader sighed: there was a hint of helplessness in his words, but his majestic aura remained unabated: "Master Gu, how long will it take to repair these sacrificial vessels? If it doesn't take long, I will just wait here."
Gu He stepped forward to check, tinkered with it, shook his head, and picked up the next one. He was silent for about four or five minutes, and then replied: "Return to the leader, the place where the young master installed the fire mine."
, are all the connecting parts and delicate mechanisms on the sacrificial vessels. Although the damage is not large, the basic functions are almost scrapped and need to be recast."
Gu He hesitated for a few seconds and then said: "It will take at least four or five days to recast and install the connections, and the next auspicious day for worship will be a month later..."
"A month... I don't know what tricks will happen during this time." The leader said, "Forget it, open the water prison, sink this person into it and seal it tightly. Be sure to keep strict supervision."
Water prison? What is that? Hearing this name, I have a bad feeling. It is estimated that compared with the previous ordinary prison torture, I will be tortured many times more harshly.
Since the festival could not continue, it was useless for everyone to stay here. After the leader turned and left, the surrounding believers also dispersed. Only a few were bare-chested, with patterns of five poisons painted on their chests, and strange wooden ones on their faces.
The burly man making the mask lifted me up one by one.
Gu He was walking at the front, seemingly leading the way for them, and his expression actually seemed a bit flattering and respectful. I originally thought those people were just hardworking laborers, but now it seems that they may even be
Have a status or status above Guhe.
I guess they may be the direct followers or bodyguards of the leader. Therefore, they are directly dispatched by the leader's orders, especially those matters that he personally orders on the spot. They do not need to involve other members of the congregation and are directly executed by them.
Being able to be directly deployed and appointed by the leader, the strength of these people should not be underestimated. Even if I am not poisoned at all, I may not be able to escape from their hands. What's more, I feel sore all over when I move my arms.
Moreover, Wan Lin's current situation is unknown. Since I finally broke into the evil witch sect, I can't return empty-handed. I decided to endure it for the time being and stay in the so-called water prison for a while until my physical strength is fully restored.
Looking for an opportunity to find Wanlin and leave together.
To be honest, this is the first time I have opened my eyes to see the scene in the underground sacrificial area of the evil witch sect after I came in. As expected, it is just like what I said about Jialing before. It is like a village or even a small city. The streets are brightly lit.
, there are gray stone-built huts everywhere, with various functions. Some are residences, some are restaurants, and some sell various daily necessities. They are almost no different from the normal world on the ground.
According to Jialing, the sacrificial domain and the villages outside the caves on the ground are integrated with each other and are self-sufficient. Even without external material support, they can carry out a complete ecological and daily cycle.
Under special circumstances, there is no need for even a village on the ground. The members of the Evil Witch Cult can live underground for a long time to avoid certain extreme situations.
In this way, this place is like a giant air-raid shelter with full functions, and it has three floors, upper and lower. Most of the resources can be recycled. I don’t know what the ancestors of the evil witch cult originally intended.
It would take a huge effort to build such a giant building underground.
What's even more surprising is that although there are torches erected on both sides of the road, the main source of lighting is actually the electric lamps hanging on the wall. They emit a warm, bright yellow light. Although the brightness itself is not high, it is still bright.
Enough to illuminate most details on the roadside.
I don’t know what method the people in the Evil Witch Cult used to actually introduce electricity into the underground cave. Is there a small power plant here? Or is it that the power supply lines are introduced from the outside and buried deep into the underground facilities? So these
How did the line pass through the long corridor that seemed to bend in space? The more I thought about it, the more bizarre it became.
They turned around and around, and there were fewer and fewer lights and pedestrians around them. Gradually, I found that the surroundings were almost all rugged stone walls, with no houses and no people around.
After they turned a winding alley, the lighting facilities on the roadside disappeared completely. At first, there were a few blue lanterns, but after that, I only heard the gurgling sound coming from the front.
The sound of running water, and the rest is endless darkness.
However, neither Gu He nor the four big men carrying me slowed down at all. They seemed to have become accustomed to walking in the dark.
After walking for dozens of steps, the sound of running water around us became louder and louder. They suddenly stopped, then put me on a wooden board and said, "Elder Gu, we can only go so far. Only the leader and the teacher can do this."
The middle elder has the authority to open and enter the water prison, so we will leave first."
