"I haven't heard anything from the sect master about this." Su Ran said in a low voice.
"There are not many people who know about this matter, except for me and the three elders on the stage...oh, there are only two left now. Only the three of us know about this matter.
After all, the sect leader still needs to manage the entire sect. Too many people know about this, which is not a good thing for the sect leader's prestige. "Li Chen replied.
Su Ran raised her eyebrows, "Then Elder Li just told me this matter, and you are not afraid that I will tell it?"
Li Chen shook his head, "Miss Su will soon follow Master Shangshen to heaven. Whether or not this matter is spread, it will have no impact on Miss Su. What's more, I don't think Miss Su will take this matter seriously." What kind of excuse can you use to blackmail the sect leader?"
"Elder Li is quite good at judging people."
"Praise, reward. After all, if Mr. Li can be an elder in the sect, he must have some other abilities. Just relying on his relationship with the sect master is not enough."
"By the way, if Sect Leader Chen lost the opportunity to follow Master Shangshen to ascend to the divine world this time, wouldn't he..." Su Ran suddenly realized that Chen Tianming still had a chance to survive following Yincheng to the sky. Now This chance to go to heaven is gone. Isn't it certain that he will die?
Li Chen sighed, "There is nothing we can do about it. Lord Shangshen is already moody. In addition, this time the believers did not understand the rules and angered Lord Shangshen. As the manager of the sect, Sect Master Chen is naturally You will inevitably be punished.”
"Come to think of it, this has something to do with me." Su Ran felt slightly guilty.
If it weren't for the fact that Yin Cheng was so immortal that he suddenly singled himself out and asked him to follow him and ascend to the divine realm, there wouldn't have been so many churchgoers at the scene excitedly discussing some bad remarks, causing Yin Cheng to panic. The killing started, and Chen Tianming was also implicated.
That's not right, Su Ran suddenly realized.
Chen Tianming is not a good guy either. He has led the Tianyu Sect everywhere for so many years, cheating and abducting people. For this, Lord God, he specially set up a school for the orphanage to provide Yincheng with the yang energy of young boys and girls. and flesh and blood.
If Fang Zhi hadn't taken Xu Yan to find him, Xu Yan would be lying in the cold morgue like those children who died suddenly.
Looking at Chen Tianming's skillful layout and methods, I'm afraid this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing. Who knows how many innocent boys and girls they have killed before the orphanage.
Thinking of this, Su Ran's trace of guilt towards Chen Tianming disappeared instantly. Chen Tianming's terminal cancer was what he deserved, and it was unforgivable that he should not die.
Even his own death is not enough to repay the lives of so many children. He should have suffered for thousands of generations.
No, I have to mention it to Zhang Ziqing when I get back. Chen Tianming cannot be let go easily.
"Miss Su, please don't think so. Master Shangshen must have a reason for choosing you. It means that Miss Su, you are really talented and outstanding.
It is inevitable for congregants to be jealous, and it is normal to complain a few times.
Even if it were not you, but other members of the congregation other than the sect leader and elders, who were suddenly chosen by the Lord God to go to the God Realm, there would definitely still be people who were dissatisfied, and this group of people would continue to quarrel. This is normal. "Li Chen comforted softly.
"Elder Li is good at comforting people." Su Ran rolled her eyes.
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it." Li Chen chuckled.
After Yin Cheng's mission, he returned to the stage from the air and winked at Su Ran. Su Ran just gave him a stiff smile in return.
Chen Tianming stood up from the ground, motioned the two elders to return to their seats first, then glanced at the audience, and said loudly: "Sir Shangshen has finished preaching, and the next step will be to come and present the sacrifices. !”
Following Chen Tianming's order, ten congregants from both sides of the stage ran onto the stage, holding a one-meter-long tray in their hands and standing facing the audience.
Su Ran looked curiously at the trays in the hands of the congregants. Each tray had an opaque cover covering it, making it invisible to the contents.
"Elder Li, what are the sacrifices here?" Su Ran asked curiously.
"This, Miss Su will know this in a moment." Li Chen hesitated.
Su Ran was a little confused. It was not convenient to tell her now. Could it be a woman?
Also, this guy named Yincheng looks like someone who is greedy for beauty. Maybe he really likes good-looking women. Then Chen Tianming picks a few beautiful ones for him every year and sends them to the sky with him.
After the trays were placed, several more congregants ran up and placed two long tables on the stage, which were placed in front of the trays. After the long tables were placed, several congregants behind them He placed the tray on the table and waited for Chen Tianming's next instruction.
Chen Tianming turned around. His height could only reach Yin Cheng's calf, so it was still a bit laborious to raise his head and look directly at Yin Cheng.
"Reporting to Lord God, all the sacrifices selected for Lord God at this annual meeting are here, but..."
"Huh? Just what?" Yincheng seemed to be in a good mood, and his tone sounded relatively relaxed.
Chen Tianming took a deep breath and said nervously: "It seems that one of the sacrifices has not been taught yet, but the conference is coming soon. For the sake of your cultivation, Lord Shangshen, I have no choice but to force him to be sacrificed."
After Chen Tianming finished speaking, Su Ran noticed that Yincheng's expression suddenly turned from sunny to gloomy. He lowered his head and looked at Chen Tianming, and said in a cold tone: "The education has not been completed? What's the reason? Did you delay the time of preaching?"
Yincheng's change of attitude shocked Chen Tianming, and he quickly knelt down, "Back to Lord Shangshen, after my subordinates selected the sacrifices, they worked day and night to teach the sacrifices. The progress was almost there, but I don't know why. , this sacrifice is a bit strange.
That day, my subordinates calculated that she would sacrifice herself to the Lord that night, so logically there should be no mistake.
But for some reason, after that night, the sacrifice was still alive and seemed to be in better condition.
After her subordinates learned about this, they took her to preach alone several times. However, they found that no matter how they preached, whether through books or words, they seemed to have lost their effect on her. This sacrifice was completely out of control.
The subordinates had no choice but to adopt the most extreme method. Since the mission was fruitless, the subordinates had no choice but to forcibly sacrifice her and give her to the Lord God. "
"Preaching is ineffective?" Yincheng looked at Chen Tianming with some suspicion, "Are you trying to deceive me?"
Chen Tianming quickly kowtowed and said, "Returning to the words of Lord Shangshen, my subordinates will never dare to do anything to deceive Lord Shangshen. If Shangshen really doubts the sincerity of his subordinates, Lord Shangshen can personally observe the memories and experiences of his subordinates. "
Yin Cheng nodded slightly, stretched out his palm, and lavender light instantly enveloped Chen Tianming's body. Chen Tianming crouched on the ground with some fear, trembling all over.
Su Ran squinted and looked over, and could see some fine white powder that seemed to be sucked out by something from the top of Chen Tianming's head, and slowly entered Yin Cheng's hand along the lavender light.
Yincheng absorbed the white powder, thoughtfully, and his brows slowly wrinkled.
After about ten minutes, Yin Cheng retracted his hand, and Chen Tianming fell to the ground as if his strength had been drained. His whole body twitched on the ground from time to time, and his eyes were empty.
"This is Lord Shangshen's method of extracting memories. It can absorb people's memories out of thin air. However, you will also face great pain. The more memories you extract, the greater the pain you will endure." Li Chen explained on the side.
Su Ran clicked his tongue and said: "This Lord God is so cruel to his own people. He can't even see that Chen Tianming is loyal and doesn't believe him."
Li Chen's face was a little bitter, "We can only obey the instructions of Lord Shangshen, and we can only cooperate with whatever Lord Shangshen wants to do. After all, human beings are as fragile as an ant in front of the gods. Trampled to death."
"What's the point of believing in this kind of god? If I were you, I would just burn his portrait, and then disband this bullshit Tianyu Sect, and let everyone go their separate ways. Without your faith and worship, I don't believe how strong he can be." Su Ran muttered softly.
Su Ran spoke boldly, and Li Chen's face turned pale immediately, and he quickly whispered: "Oh, my sister-in-law, can you not speak so shockingly every time? As long as Lord God wants to hear it, he can say anything." heard.
You are extremely talented and have won the favor of Lord Shang Shen. Why don't you think of me? I am neither the sect leader nor the core elder. Lord Shang Shen just pinched me to death. Who can I complain to? "
"Look, this is your bad nature. It's just because you are so afraid that this god becomes more and more arrogant. You just go ahead and stop worshiping him. It would be great if you just disperse." Su Ran said. He curled his lips and said: "Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance."
Li Chen sighed and silently took two steps to the side, fearing that Su Ran would say something outrageous and Lord Shangshen would hear him and deal with him easily.
"How cowardly." Su Ran rolled her eyes.
When he said these words, Yincheng didn't know how many times he looked at him, but he still couldn't hold back from giving him a slap. It seemed that he was really special to him.
This should also be considered as what it is, being arrogant and arrogant?
Su Ran had an inexplicable cold war. It seemed inexplicably ambiguous to use such an idiom with such a person. If Zhang Ziqing saw this scene, it is estimated that the divine body of the divination god would not need to be repaired, and he could start to give it to himself directly. It’s time to choose a suitable tombstone.
"I have verified this matter. It is indeed a factor beyond your control. I will spare your life for the time being." Yincheng's tone returned to his previous cold tone.
"Thank you, Lord God." Chen Tianming struggled to get up from the ground, knelt on the ground with difficulty and kowtowed to Yincheng again.
"Okay, let me see this sacrifice."
"Yes, Lord God."
Chen Tianming endured the pain all over his body, stood up from the ground little by little with his hands on his knees, then walked step by step to the table and opened the lids of the trays.
The things on the plate made Su Ran's eyes widen.
It turned out to be a naked boy of twelve or thirteen years old!
The young man's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and his body was extremely thin, as if he were just skin and bones. He was lying naked on the tray, like a...prepared dish.
Although he was already a little far away, Su Ran could tell at a glance that the boy had lost his vital signs. It should be the same as what Zhang Ziqing told him. It was due to the black talisman behind his back absorbing flesh and blood bit by bit. It was used to repair the body of Yin Cheng, the god of divination.
As Chen Tianming opened the trays one by one, they were filled with boys and girls of twelve or thirteen years old. They should all be the children in the orphanage. Su Ran had seen a few of them when he went to the orphanage two days ago. Now they were both cold corpses lying on pallets.
Su Ran sighed, feeling a little sorry for these children for a moment.
Although children who grow up in orphanages are not from a good background and will have a difficult future, they still have the right to live a normal life, and if they are willing to work harder, they will have good rewards and a bright future in the future. A bright future is also possible.
It's a pity that it's too late now, their lives ended in such a hurry, and they couldn't even change their destiny.
Just when Su Ran was feeling regretful, Chen Tianming also opened the lid of the last tray.
Su Ran just glanced at it casually, her eyes fixed on the tray, unable to move any further.
Su Ran even rubbed her eyes, stood up from her position and ran to the guardrail in front, opening her eyes wide to make sure she had seen it wrong.
But after seeing it more clearly, it only confirmed that what Su Ran saw for the first time was correct.
The figure lying there on the last tray had a slightly normal body shape compared to the other children.
Just because he was here a few days ago, Zhang Ziqing helped her control the talisman in her body and continued to absorb her yang energy and blood essence.
Xu Yan.
