Zhang Changfa's originally simple and honest face was full of venom at this moment. He looked at Zhang Fusheng who fell from his arms, his eyes full of teasing.
"My objection has always been to using small treasures as sacrifices, not to the sacrificial rituals."
"Don't make a mistake!"
Zhang Fusheng looked at Zhang Changfa, who suddenly became very unfamiliar, and coughed violently as if he thought of something.
"I understand. It's you who has been manipulating this matter for so long."
Thinking of every bit of the past, Zhang Fusheng regretted it endlessly.
"Old guy, you are wrong again. I am not the person behind it. All this is the plan of the Taoist Master. I am just a chess piece, only responsible for execution."
Zhang Fusheng's eyes dimmed a little more.
"Taipingdao, I didn't expect you to have joined them!"
Zhang Changfa looked at the old face in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a bit of pity in his eyes.
Compared with the Taoist master he had never met, Zhang Fusheng was not worthy of carrying his shoes.
"The Taoist Master found you half a year ago, but he never took action against you because of the Qianlong Jianghe God."
"How did he know this?"
Zhang Fusheng asked puzzledly.
Zhang Changfa laughed a little weirdly.
"You don't think you're the only one who knows the truth about Qianlong River God, do you?"
"Don't forget, your father also came out of Taiping Dao back then. If you can know, why doesn't the Taoist master know?"
Zhang Fusheng was speechless by these words.
"But if this is the case, Xiaobao will still be treated as a sacrifice, right?"
Jiang Qi scratched his hair, a little confused by the logic of this crazy criticizing father.
To hold a sacrifice to summon the Qianlong River God, the sacrifice of Xiaobao is inevitable.
Zhang Changfa looked at Xiaobao after hearing this, with a rare look of love that only a father can have in his eyes.
"Indeed, sacrifices require sacrifices, but there are alternatives."
While talking, Zhang Changfa took out a copper bell from his arms and shook it gently.
The group of strong men who had been standing there like wood carvings and clay sculptures had a look in their eyes and turned around at the same time.
Seeing this, Zhang Fusheng opened his mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood, and said in a hoarse and weak voice: "Zombie Talisman, you gave them the zombie Talisman."
"You have pretty good eyesight!"
Zhang Changfa said expressionlessly.
As the copper bells in their hands swayed, all the people controlled by the zombie talisman swung their swords at the people around them at the same time. For a moment, blood spattered on the altar. The blood gathered into a trickle and flowed into the Qianlong River along the low-lying terrain.
Throughout the whole process, Jiang Qi stood motionless.
It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that he didn't expect Zhang Changfa to be so decisive and ruthless.
He wasn't given any time to react.
"What a great Zhang Changfa!"
Jiang Qi's face was gloomy.
People like Zhang Fusheng may be guilty, but they are not guilty enough to die.
Who would have thought that Zhang Changfa would erase it so easily. Looking at the altar with corpses strewn all over the place, the tragic scene almost made Jiang Qi unable to hold back and vomit.
Zhang Changfa ignored Jiang Qi, but turned back to Zhang Fusheng and took out a golden order arrow from his arms.
The arrow seemed to be made of gold, with a line of ancient seal characters on it.
When Jiang Qi saw the command arrow, his eyes widened at the same time. He had seen the command arrow before in the illusion.
In the past, Cheng Xuanying used this command arrow to command the Dragon God.
At this moment, Jiang Qi finally knew where the old village chief's previous confidence came from.
"Actually, the Golden Order Arrow cannot command that monster."
There was a faint voice in his ears, which made Jiang Qi's hair stand on end. He turned around and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
The next moment, the voice came again.
"You stupid boy, use your Dharma eyes to see!"
Jiang Qi trembled all over and froze in place for a long time. He used his Dharma Eyes, but saw the vitality of heaven and earth flowing in front of his eyes, and finally gathered on one side, hovering at the feet of a person.
The Taoist was wearing a Bagua robe, with a fair face and a long beard under his chin.
Jiang Qi looked at the Taoist who appeared in front of him, pinched his thigh, and felt the pain coming from his body, and suddenly took a breath.
"Cheng Xuanying..."
Jiang Qi stammered, his eyes blurred.
Is this era so ridiculous?
Even people who had been dead for hundreds of years were revived.
Jiang Qi didn't know what to say anymore. He always felt that he was hallucinating.
When he looked up again and saw the gentle gaze of the old man, he was sure that he was not dreaming.
"Don't panic, little friend. I'm just sad and can't do you any harm."
Cheng Xuanying's cold voice came, and Jiang Qi's numb face became a little more emotional.
"Master, then why are you following me?"
Jiang Qi wanted to cry inexplicably.
Although he didn't see ghosts once or twice, this time was the most exciting, and it was inexplicably attached.
If Cheng Xuanying hadn't taken the initiative to speak, he wouldn't have noticed at all.
"You were the one running around holding my bones, and now you're here to blame me?"
Cheng Xuanying pointed speechlessly at the ancient green brick that Jiang Qi had been holding in his hand.
Ever since he saw the scene from the past through the blue bricks in the temple, Jiang Qi has been holding on to it and not letting go, even during the battle with Zhang Fusheng just now.
It has become a habit now, and I never expected that the green brick was actually Cheng Xuanying's bones.
Jiang Qi was dumbfounded for a moment, and immediately explained: "Master, this is none of my business, and I don't know!"
As he spoke, Jiang Qi became even more curious. He really didn't know who had the ability to make Cheng Xuanying's bones into green bricks. That's what crushing the bones and scattering ashes would look like, right?
Cheng Xuanying waved his hand indifferently, "It doesn't matter. I ordered people to take my bones and cast them into green bricks after I emerged. It makes sense that you don't know."
Jiang Qi: "..."
This...were all the Taoist priests in the Tang Dynasty so crazy about criticizing it?
First, a living person was sacrificed to the monster, and then his own bones were used to make green bricks. Or should I say, it was only Cheng Xuanying who was criticized crazily.
Jiang Qi complained silently, but did not dare to show any strange emotions in front of this person.
"Why did senior do this?"
Jiang Qi couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it's to atone."
Cheng Xuanying said truthfully.
"After all, I was the one who ordered the human sacrifice to monsters back then, and the consequences that resulted were naturally mine to clean up the mess."
Speaking of the past, Cheng Xuanying showed a bit of bitterness on her face.
"Back then, in order to facilitate the passage of the army, I ordered the monster to be sacrificed alive. I originally wanted to endure it for a while until the country was stable, and then I could get rid of the monster."
"Who would have thought that we would have to wait until the new emperor ascended the throne. After that, I hurried to the East China Sea and found out that since I sacrificed my life to monsters, the local people have continued to make sacrifices every year."
"After swallowing so many boys and girls, the monster's strength is already extraordinary. Even I can't do anything to it."
"It's really fate that makes people come here!"
Jiang Qi's eyebrows were filled with solemnity.
"So, even the seniors can't help but the Dragon God?"
"Actually, there is, but I don't dare to use it!"
Cheng Xuanying chuckled.
"So, I leave the problem to you."
"And now, it's coming!"
