While Qin Zeng was preparing to use a divine fire bomb to blow up the entrance to the underground palace, Li Qingyi was waiting for Lin's next words.
But Lin did not intend to tell her who the last human sacrifice was, but instead ordered Qingluo Ziluo to lead the human sacrifices to their respective locations.
Li Qingyi didn't know if it was because of her rebirth that she had a certain resistance to the drumbeats and aromas that confused her mind. According to the other party, the soul of a person with two lives was stronger than ordinary people, so she could manage to stay awake. But next, Lin was It is impossible to allow her to act as she pleases any longer.
Zi Luo grabbed Li Qingyi's chin and stuffed a pill into her mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth, with a hint of bitterness. After a while, Li Qingyi felt that his mind became confused, his hands and feet became weak, and he could not support himself and slid to the ground.
Lin was condescending and looked at her indifferently, "Since you can't escape, it's better to enjoy this last peace, because from now on, your soul and body will be suppressed in this altar forever."
Li Qingyi listened to the horrifying words in her mouth and felt an inexplicable panic wrap around her tightly. The surrounding scenery also became blurred. She felt her body being lifted up and slowly approached the altar.
She wanted to struggle, but she couldn't control her body at all.
The closer she got to the altar, the stronger the aroma became. She was thrown down and her wrist touched the ground with a slight crisp sound.
Li Qingyi was shocked and looked at the bracelet on his wrist.
Qin Zeng put several antidotes in her bracelet, but he didn't know if they would work.
She bit the tip of her tongue, and felt a heart-piercing pain. She held on to the last trace of clarity in her mind, moved her arms desperately, and buried her face in the arms, close to the bracelet on her wrist.
The bracelet exuded a faint fragrance. After Li Qingyi smelled it for a moment, the stiffness that spread throughout his body seemed to have eased a lot.
She was so happy that she leaned over her arms and listened carefully to the movement behind her.
The human sacrifices each stood at a fixed position, exactly at the twelve o'clock position, and the chanting around them seemed to be much louder than before. Li Miaoran was brought over and stood in the same position as Li Qingyi. She still had no reaction to what was happening around her.
Mrs. Lin looked at the situation in front of her with satisfaction and stared at the position of the neutron hour of the twelve hours.
It was empty there. This position belonged to the last human sacrifice and the most important person among the twelve people.
There was a noise outside the stone gate. Qing Luo went out, turned around and came back to report to Lin, "Princess, the person who went to intercept Mu Rencheng is missing. I'm afraid the situation is in danger."
Lin frowned, "Have they entered Beijing?"
Qing Luo shook his head, "The people have disappeared. I don't know where they went. I suspect that someone else took them away."
Mrs. Lin was a little confused. If it was Qin Zeng who did it, they should have taken them back to the capital immediately. If it wasn't Qin Zeng, who stopped the people she sent to assassinate Mu Rencheng?
She pondered for a moment and said, "When the matter has reached this point, Mu Rencheng no longer cares about life or death, so we don't care about it for the time being."
She glanced at the altar and said, "The important thing is what is in front of you. Follow me and prepare the things for the sacrifice."
"Yes, princess."
Lin left the stone room with Qingluo Ziluo.
Li Qingyi's heart was beating fast, almost as fast as the rhythm of the drum. She heard the sound of sliding from the stone door, and the sound of tiny footsteps gradually disappeared, so she turned her head slightly to look at where Lin was standing just now. The other party has indeed left.
She breathed a sigh of relief. The current dilemma must be solved immediately. Lin didn't have much time left for her. She didn't know where the last human sacrifice was now or when it would arrive.
Li Qingyi raised her head and looked around, only to find someone staring at her!
She was startled, and the hairs all over her body stood up, "You... are you still conscious?"
Gongsun Yi was even more surprised than her, "How can you still be sane?"
Li Qingyi responded in silence, lowered his hand, and used his sleeves to hide the bracelet on his wrist. However, she was so shocked that she became more conscious. She looked at Gongsun Yi and found that he had no self-esteem at all.
It turned out that he was just faking his symptoms from beginning to end.
Gongsun noticed her defensive look and said with a smile, "It seems that my mother still underestimated you."
Li Qingyi pursed his lips and said, "It seems you are not willing to be a human sacrifice."
"My mother thinks that sacrificing for the Xi clan is a much-coveted honor, and of course she won't regret losing her son. But I don't want to sacrifice myself here. I'm really ashamed."
Gongsun Yi sighed quietly. Although his appearance and person were still the same, Li Qingyi could vaguely see Lin's charm from his expression.
He was finally inspired by his mother to bring out the devil in his heart! Became a madman! A madman with deep obsessions just like Mr. Lin!
Li Qingyi forced himself to calm down, grabbed the iron chain on the side and barely stood still, and asked: "Since you want to disobey your mother, you must leave here?"
Gongsun Yi looked at her with a half-smile, "Although I don't want to be a human sacrifice, I don't intend to destroy this sacrifice, so I won't take you out."
Li Qingyi gritted his teeth and looked at him, but after you left, there was one less human sacrifice! How can the sacrifice be carried out? "
Gongsun Yi smiled and said, "I have prepared a substitute for a long time. As long as he is sent here smoothly, I will naturally convince my mother to keep this useful son of mine."
Li Qingyi gritted his teeth and looked at him, "A useful son? You might as well say you are a good dog! She is your biological mother, but she treats you like this, and you don't even care!"
Gongsun Yi looked unpredictable, "Instead of talking nonsense, you might as well ask some useful questions while I still have patience."
Li Qingyi was filled with anger, but she had to admit that Gongsun Yi was right. She thought about it, pointed to the empty seat next to her and asked: "Among the twelve human sacrifices, this position seems to be particularly important. Why is this?"
"Zi Shi is the boundary between light and darkness, and the node between the end and the beginning. Just like the medicine guide, it is the key to the entire sacrifice. Originally, the person chosen by my mother was Emperor Chongnan Yin Heng, but Ye Lanyue blocked it, and my mother was Dajing was beyond his reach, so he had to change the candidate."
"Ye Lanyue stopped her? Is she protecting Emperor Chongnan? Could it be that the mistake your mother made was that... Ye Lanyue fell in love with Emperor Chongnan?"
Gongsun Yi smiled faintly, "Who knows, is it love or a desire to conquer?"
Li Qingyi frowned at Gongsun Yi's casual answer and asked, "So, who is the new candidate?"
Gongsun Yi's eyes lit up, as if he felt that Li Qingyi finally got to the point of his question.
However, he did not answer her directly, but said: "The twelve people required for this sacrifice were all born in different months, which means the alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The time of birth also corresponds to the twelve hours, which represents the rotation of yin and yang. The person who is missing now should have been born during the first lunar month, which symbolizes the beginning of all things."
Li Qingyi said in a daze: "On the first month of the lunar month? That's not..."
