It seems that I guessed it correctly. These people really used living people as sacrifices to perform their so-called sacrificial rituals.
At this time, I didn't care so much anymore, and rushed towards the temple gate.
"I'll go, what's going on? Why is this guy Qi Yuan tied to the pyre?"
Yu Hunqiu exclaimed behind him, and then ran over.
By this time, those performing the sacrificial ceremony had discovered us, and several people quickly turned around and blocked us.
"What are you doing? Put this person down quickly?"
I rushed inside and yelled.
"Master God Envoy, please don't blame us. There is nothing we can do. People will always die."
The old man wearing a red turban came forward, bowed to me, and then said apologetically.
"Then aren't you afraid that God will punish you? If you burned God's messenger to death, God will definitely punish you."
I thought their belief in gods must be true, so I quickly used this to scare them.
"We are all sinners and God has abandoned us."
The old man shook his head and said desperately.
"What's going on? You can tell me, we are God's messengers and we will definitely be able to save you."
I said quickly.
"It's useless. The people in our village made a big mistake back then, so we must continue to sacrifice living people to the evil god in order to appease its resentment. Otherwise, we will all die."
As he spoke, the old man turned his head and glanced at the temple behind him, and said quietly: "Today happens to be the sacrificial ceremony that happens once a month. It is God's will that you come to our village. It is better to use you to sacrifice to the evil god." Sacrifice the people in the village."
"What kind of bullshit theory are you talking about? Are you going to trade us for your lives?"
When Yu Hunqiu heard this, he was so angry that he cursed.
I quickly raised my hand to stop him, then looked at the old man and said, "Since you believe in gods, you should know that gods are kind. It is impossible for them to let you use living people as sacrifices, so the things in this temple must be It’s not a god, it’s an evil thing that harms people. You put the person down first, and I’ll help get rid of this evil thing in your village and eliminate future troubles. What do you think?”
"Young man, don't think that we people are easy to fool. In fact, I have known for a long time that you are not messengers of God at all. The reason why I cooperate with you in acting is mainly to use you to sacrifice to the evil god. Now that you know it, then There is no need for me to hide it from you, since you stepped into our village, your fate has already been determined."
The old man said and waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately lit the pyre.
At this time, Yu Hunqiu and I's expressions all changed, and we were so embarrassed that we couldn't describe it in words.
We originally thought that these people were easy to fool, and we could receive their hospitality by pretending to be messengers of God. Who knew, but these people were trying to trick us instead.
This is really self-defeating.
Qi Yuan was tied to the firewood pile and his mouth was sealed. He had no way to cast spells to control the giant's corpse. So in this case, facing the entire village, we had almost no room for resistance.
"Send the two divine envoys back to rest."
The old man looked at me and Yu Hunqiu, and said with a smile on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, several strong young men immediately surrounded us, trying to restrain Yun Hunqiu and me directly.
"Light up your soul incense now."
I quickly turned around and shouted at Yuhunqiu, then reached out and took out a few charms from my pocket.
At this time, those strong young men had already rushed forward. I raised my hand and slapped a charm on the forehead of the first young man who rushed towards me. Then I chanted the charm and pointed at his forehead sharply.
The opponent's soul was knocked out by me in an instant, and the strong young man fell down directly.
But then, several other young men rushed forward, and I was completely knocked to the ground by them before I even had a chance to cast a spell.
On the other hand, Yu Hunqiu had already been knocked down at this time, but fortunately he had already lit the soul incense.
The strange fragrance quickly spread, and then a gloomy smell spread all around.
I quickly turned my head and took a look, and found that many figures had appeared around the temple.
These people must have been burned to death during the sacrifice. Naturally, their resentment was not small, and their yin energy was also particularly heavy.
This lonely wild ghost has been summoned now, but Yu Hun Qiu and I have been restrained and have no chance to use magic to control them.
The pyre in front of him was completely burning at this time. Qi Yuan's face was red when burned by the fire, and he was sweating profusely. However, he was tied up and couldn't break free at all. It was estimated that the fire would soon break out. It burned him.
Just when I was anxious, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the plains. Then, the lonely ghosts suddenly became restless, and in the blink of an eye, they all pounced on the people around the woodpile.
Several people were possessed by lonely ghosts in an instant, and then their expressions suddenly became dull and their eyes became hollow.
Then these people rushed directly into the fire in front of them. Not afraid of the flames, they threw themselves on the firewood pile and untied the rope from Qi Yuan's body.
Seeing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I think Wang Junfeng and Yi Xiaojiu also heard the noise and rushed over.
As long as Qi Yuan is rescued and he controls the giant corpse to deal with these people, then we will have a chance.
Sure enough, as soon as Qi Yuan escaped from the trap, he immediately stood on the firewood pile, kneaded the incantation and began to summon the giant's corpse.
But the few people who threw themselves on the pyre to loosen his bonds were already devoured by the fire.
Of course, Qi Yuan was also trapped in the raging fire. In this case, it was almost difficult for him to get out.
"Stop him quickly, don't let him escape."
The old man suddenly shouted, and then everyone gathered around the burning pyre.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound like the earth was shaking from behind, and the giant's huge body came out of the night and rushed into the crowd.
Those people were knocked upside down immediately, and many of them were even trampled under the giant's feet on the spot and died instantly.
After the giant rushed up, he stretched out his broad palm and reached out to the burning pyre in front of him.
Qi Yuan stepped forward and stood on the giant's palm. The giant dragged him steadily and rescued him from the fire.
"Don't you believe in gods? Now I can tell you that I am God."
Qi Yuan stood on the giant's palm, looking down at everyone coldly and said.
