The temple blessings also knew that tonight was the time when their strength was at their weakest.
A large number of temple worshipers need to go to Zhitian Mountain to perform sacrifices.
Only a dozen or so temple ministers can move outside, and they need to guard two places at the same time.
The problem is that there is no room for error in either place.
There are more than a dozen demon soldiers buried in one place. Once these demon soldiers are obtained, the riot will inevitably expand further.
Another place is where the offerings are stored.
The sacrifices are a top priority and cannot be lost under any circumstances. They are the key to tomorrow's sacrifice.
Once the official sacrifice fails, then it will be a real disaster.
The old man Miao Zhu sighed, and then his eyes gradually became firm.
There are many palm-sized black stones in the tombs, and each stone has a handprint or footprint on it.
Judging from these marks, most of their owners are children between six and seven years old.
Densely packed black stones covered the ground here.
This is a forbidden area, and ordinary people are not allowed to come near it.
So the large number of footsteps now are naturally from the expedition team.
When they looked at these black stones, they felt a chill all over their bodies, and then there was an unspeakable anger.
If each stone symbolizes a sacrificed child, then there are estimated to be tens of thousands of black stones here.
This is an astonishing amount and represents the fact that this annual sacrifice has been carried out for hundreds of years.
Countless children, in ignorance, were brought to this mountain to be sacrificed.
Even the rising forces of humanity feel their own anger rising at this moment.
Even if you know this is an illusion, this kind of inhumane behavior will always arouse the purest anger of human beings.
"Are you from the expedition team?" At this moment, the old Miao Zhu walked out of a cave opposite the tombs and calmly greeted these uninvited guests.
"What a familiar look." With this greeting, everyone in the crusade team focused their murderous eyes on Miao Zhu, but the old Miao Zhu still laughed twice at this.
"Back then, I was just as angry as you were about this place."
"But..." Before Miao Zhu could finish speaking, several arrows flew towards him.
"Shut up, old dog!" The furious members of the crusade team launched an attack on Miao Zhu.
Taoist Gourd was rather interested in the words of the old man Miao Zhu.
Unfortunately, partners of justice tend to be impulsive.
After all, a hot-blooded boy cannot calm down and talk to his enemy.
The old Miao Zhu also had a look of pity on his face. With a wave of his hand, all the arrows flying towards him stopped in mid-air.
Although the temple blessings can all obtain power from the mountain god, this power is also different.
People who participate in sacrifices for the first time can only gain the ability to create things.
Make simple, familiar things over which you have little control.
As the number of participation in sacrifices increases, the strength of the temple blessings will gradually become stronger and richer.
Slowly the ability to control oneself emerges.
At this stage, temple blessings can fly out of thin air.
This control then spreads from itself to its own creations, and then to everything else.
The ability to control arrows flying at high speed is not something that young temple priests can control.
The old man Miao Zhu spread his hands and shot all the arrows back.
It fell in front of everyone in the crusade team.
He did not use this to attack everyone, but continued: "I was once as angry as you are about all this."
"Even I was once one of you."
"Similar teams always appear every few decades, and I was among them last time."
"At that time, our scale was even larger than yours."
"But in the end we mostly gave up."
"The God of the Mountain is not the enemy of all living beings, on the contrary, he is the guardian of all living beings!"
"A guardian who ate tens of thousands of children!!" However, the expedition team did not agree with Miao Zhu's statement, and it was impossible to agree with it.
Similar statements have actually been circulated for a long time.
For example, in the book of myths and legends that Taoist Calabash saw, it was said that the mountain god was the god who supported the sky.
Because of his existence, Xinghe did not continue to pour back.
It's just that people who have experienced the pain of this kind of statement, how can they believe it?
Those who can join the expedition team are either those whose children were 'bought'. They thought that the children were going to be slaves, but they did not expect that the children were going to be sacrifices.
Either they are people who have suffered from natural disasters and lost their families because they could not pay the money, or they did not pay enough, and the temple blessings were not available.
They were truly living in misery, and after the leader informed them of everything, they firmly believed that it was the mountain god who caused all this misery.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for them to believe that the mountain god is the god who protects all living beings.
No matter what, they have to defeat the evil god!
"The magic weapon is inside, come with me!" A member of the crusade team didn't want to say anything more to the old magic stick. He held a weapon and rushed directly towards the opponent with his men.
They were not frightened by the arrows that returned from the previous batch, and many of them had put their own lives and deaths aside, waving their blades towards Lao Miao Zhu without fear of death.
"Hey, you are actually all good people. If possible, I really don't want to kill you!" Lao Miaozhu sighed, and a large number of weapons around him were generated out of thin air.
But then he frowned, and the weapons came together to form a shield.
A long navy blue arrow was shot and hit the shield.
"Feng Hesheng!" Lao Miaozhu called out the leader's name, his eyes full of regret: "No one thought about what happened back then, but there was no way. Kill one to save a hundred. Don't be stubborn anymore."
"If you have any grievances, I gave the order back then, and I can let you deal with it."
"It's just that those demon soldiers really can't be used."
"You will only make everything more and more difficult to deal with."
It's a pity that except for the rising human forces mixed in, no one is willing to pay attention to what Lao Miaozhu said.
Even if they knew that Laomiao Zhu might have something hidden, it still wouldn't stop them from gaining strength.
It is impossible for them to ignore the fact that tens of thousands of children were sacrificed here and stop their actions just because of a few words from the enemy.
No matter what, only by gaining strength can you have more choices.
There was no communication between the two sides anymore, and the weapons wielded were the only remaining interactions.
Today we must fight to the death.
Second update, sorry, good night everyone.
