The carved lines on the altar are connected to the naturally formed ravines on the cave floor. The blood flows along these ravines, and finally merges into one stream, extending towards the yellow curtain.
I don't know what happened behind the curtain, I just heard a "gudong, gudong" sound, and the being inside seemed to be drinking the blood. After about ten minutes, the master of the Sanxian Temple spoke again: "Yes, tomorrow, Qian'er, you did a good job this time, have you brought all the five sacrifices you were asked to summon before?"
After some sacrifices, the spirit of the temple owner seemed to have recovered a lot. He was no longer as drowsy as he was at the beginning, and his speech was stronger.
Xu Ming replied respectfully: "I brought them all and are waiting below."
The temple leader said: "They are all poor people. Bring them here for me to see. I will cure them in two days."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ming brought the four old men and the girl who were human sacrifices forward, and asked the five people to kneel in front of the curtain one by one.
"look up."
Several people's heads were held up by some invisible force, and they stared motionless at the curtain.
From behind the yellow curtain, two arms slowly stretched out and touched their faces.
The arm was surprisingly long. They were at least two meters away from the curtain, but they were able to touch it!
One of them is smooth and white, like a lotus root.
The other one was covered with wrinkles and dense black spots, as if growing out of a dying old man's body.
Two completely different hands appear on the same person, which looks extremely weird.
An old man felt the touch and immediately grabbed the hand with excitement on his face and cried bitterly: "Old god, do you still remember me? I have been carrying sacrifices for you every month since I was eighteen years old. I broke my foot before. It’s you who cured me! God, you are so powerful, please cast your spell to save me. My grandson was born just last month, and I don’t want to die yet!”
The viewer sighed softly and gently stroked the tears from the old man's face with his hand.
"Alas, there is no joy in life, and there is no fear in death. Everything has its own cause and effect. The Tao is natural. Walking along the road and being free from the pain of the human body is not a relief for mortals like you."
But the old man still refused to give up. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, with a large blood stain on his forehead. "I am a common man. I want to live one more day if I can live one more day. I also want to spend more time with my little grandson who is not yet one month old." ah!"
Xu Ming looked impatient and planned to step forward to stop the old man from causing trouble, but was stopped by the viewer's outstretched hand.
"It is understandable that humans are greedy for life and avoid death. If you and I are destined, I would naturally be willing to teach you the method of prolonging life. Please step aside for now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man took a few steps back involuntarily, and then knelt on the ground motionless, as if he was restrained by something.
The viewer looked at the remaining people one by one. When he touched the girl, the girl trembled and her body tensed up like a string.
"What's your name?"
The girl trembled and did not dare to speak.
Xu Ming was furious and scolded: "How brave! Master is asking you a question!"
After a long time, the girl managed to squeeze out a few words: "Hao Yueyue."
The viewer touched Hao Yueyue's head lovingly and sighed: "It's a pity that you are so old. It's just that the cause and effect of this disaster is your own, and I can't help you. Tomorrow, I'm going down. Take more care of her and let her enjoy two days of happiness."
Chen Si, who was watching the old goblin's performance, felt a chill in his heart.
The old Taoist priest would create a persona for himself. The way he touched a few people was clearly the same as inspecting animals!
This Three Immortals Temple uses living people and animals as sacrifices to practice martial arts. It is by no means a prestigious and upright sect!
At this time, Hao Yueyue continued tremblingly: "Old immortal, Yueyue is only eight years old. Yueyue still doesn't want to die. Please let me go..."
Xu Ming was furious and slapped her in the face, "You little girl, Master, he only cares about you. You are still not satisfied. You are talking nonsense out of thin air! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will cut your tongue!"
Behind the curtain, the voice of the conservator slowly came, "What he said is true. You are still young and don't know right from wrong. When you reach the age of your parents, you will understand my compassion.
That's it, you take these people down tomorrow and I will save them later. If nothing happens, today's tribute ceremony will end here. "
Xu Ming retreated and stood aside with five human beings.
Peng Qian hurriedly stepped forward and reported: "Master, we brought two foreign tourists this time. They heard the name of our Taoist temple while they were outside, and they came here specifically to visit you because they want to see your immortal beauty."
After hearing this, the visitor became more interested.
"Oh? There haven't been outsiders in the village for a long time. It's a strange thing. Bring them here so I can take a good look."
Upon hearing this, Chen Si slowly walked forward and bowed, and Li Chen followed behind him, trembling.
"Chen Si, this is Li Chen, and I'm here to meet the master of the Three Immortals Temple. We are so lucky to see living immortals in our three lifetimes, and we are very frightened."
The visitor was very satisfied with Chen Si's wording and said, "Little baby, what you said is very pleasing to the ear. Please step forward first and let me have a good look."
Chen Si suppressed the fear in his heart and walked forward step by step.
The slender white hand lifted the curtain, slowly stretched out, and gently touched Chen Si's eyebrows with his index finger.
In an instant, an extremely cold and evil aura was forcefully poured into Chen Si's forehead, and it rushed through the body along the blood vessels, violently impacting various acupuncture points.
Chen Sideng's eyes turned white immediately, his limbs twitched, and he almost lost consciousness.
Just when he was about to touch his Dantian, a ray of immortal energy was suddenly stimulated, which could protect the origin of his body.
Only then did Chen Si gain some consciousness, and he took a few steps back in embarrassment, his eyes showing a stern look.
"Guanzhu, what do you mean?"
The temple owner smiled lightly and said, "So you are a fellow Taoist. Why do you come to visit our Sanxian Temple?"
When the other Taoist priests heard this, they all raised their heads and all looked at Chen Si.
Dense beads of sweat oozed from Chen Si's forehead.
He also didn't expect that the old monster would discover his identity without even half a deception, and it might not be easy to deal with him next.
He could clearly see that each of these Taoist priests had some deformities. Some had sarcomas on their faces, and some had a few extra eyes on their foreheads. In short, they were all grotesque. None of them were normal, and he didn't know what magical powers they all hid.
"Brother Chen, what should we do? Why were we discovered as soon as we arrived?"
Li Chen was so anxious at the back that he couldn't speak clearly.
Chen Si knew that since he had been exposed, he might as well admit it openly. Anyway, he came here just to inquire about the information, and he was not seeking money or life. There was no direct conflict of interest between the two parties, and Sanxian Guan had no reason to harm him.
He cupped his hands, bowed deeply and said, "Let me reintroduce you. Mr. Chen, I have long heard about the exquisite Taoism of the Three Immortals. I am here to discuss Taoism this time."
