After walking for about an hour, Xiahou Qing and his companions mixed in the crowd and gathered in front of the Xuan Nyu Temple at the foot of the mountain. There was a clear pool of water in the temple, which had a radius of a hundred steps. In the clear pool, there was a three-foot stone statue of Xuan Nyu. The stone statue's face was beautiful and gentle, merciful and compassionate. People could not help but submit to it at first sight. There were tens of thousands of believers in the temple, and the crowd was so packed that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
The one who presided over the ceremony was a respectable elder, who was also the mayor of the town. He wore a red mask with fangs and stood in front of the altar. The bell in his hand rang, and he jumped in front of the statue of Xuan Nyu while murmuring something.
The believers knelt down and held the lanterns above their heads. They looked at the old man who was performing the ceremony on the altar with fanatical eyes. When the old man finished performing the ceremony, he closed his eyes and waved his hand. The people stood up and rushed to put the lanterns in their hands into the clear pool. Then, they each raised a small knife and scissors and slashed their arms heavily, forcing the surging hot blood from their wounds into the blue waves. In the blink of an eye, the clear pool water was dyed bright red, and even the merciful goddess statue in the middle of the pool seemed to be tainted with a trace of evil.
Hui Mo and the others, who originally wanted to join in the fun, were shocked. Only now did they realize that their real sacrifice was not the colorful lanterns, but their own blood!
According to what he heard, Xiahou Qing immediately covered Ning Shu's eyes. He was afraid that the incredible bloody scene in front of her would stimulate her again.
Hui Mo had goosebumps all over his body, "Oh my god, are the people here sick? It's the first time I've seen such a way to worship the gods. Those people's faces are pale with blood, but they are still squeezing their blood vessels. They are sick! Your Highness, let's not watch this show. Let's hurry down the mountain. I have a bad premonition that the people here are panicking. "
The scene in front of him could no longer be described as pious. These people were not afraid of death or pain. It was as if they did not care about the lives of their gods. It was as if they had lost their minds. Not only that, some parents didn't care about their children's cries and struggles. They forcefully cut their children's arms and injected the fresh and fragile life force into the pool to express their most sincere worship to Goddess Xuan Nyu.
Seeing this scene, Hui Mo immediately stopped in his tracks. Everyone present, including Jiu Si, also lost their usual calmness and was burning with anger.
She Yan immediately cursed, "My God, what are they doing?! That was their child! F * ck! You're sick, sick, sick! "
Hui Mo was shocked. He remembered that ten years ago, his parents had cut off their own flesh for him to eat. However, these people in front of him were so cold-blooded and heartless. They didn't even care about the life of their own child. The corners of his eyes turned red as he clenched his fists and rushed forward.
Jiu Si immediately stopped him. "There are nearly a thousand of them gathered here. The disparity between the enemy and us is too great. If we rush in rashly, we may be controlled by them. Moreover, they won't be able to appreciate our good intentions. "
For the first time, Hui Mo showed such an irritable look, "Then are we just going to watch those innocent children suffer from these twisted torments? Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will be confused by the same ideas in the future and become another wave of the same lunatics. Will they continue to harm their next generation? No, even if they gang up to kill me, I will stop them! "
