Chapter 124 Mysterious Power
Chapter 124 Mysterious Power
At this time, Tang Yixien stood still, and the three of them were behind their master.
Master would occasionally fall into deep thought like this, and they seemed to be used to it.
Then, Tang Yixin followed Youyou's map instructions and went to the inner room of the main house of the entire mansion.
Jin Xiaoxiao saw the master who had clearly pointed the direction again, and she did not hesitate at all.
He didn't understand why his master always knew the direction immediately after deep thought.
With Tang Yixin's "navigation", the few of them quickly found the inner room and came to the door of a house.
"This should be a kind of Bagua formation, to prevent people from coming in. Master, you are so fast in calculation." Xuan Yuran said in a very low voice.
He always felt that his master had a mysterious power.
Tang Yixien narrowed her beautiful eyes, and made a silencing gesture with her slender fingers in front of her lips. In the darkness, she looked more like a charming and pure fairy.
All three of them were stunned.
"You're pretending again." Youyou said in her mind, shook her head and logged off.
There seemed to be a little yellow light in the window, faintly emitting a faint glow.
Tang Yixin raised his finger slightly, and a strong gust of wind came out instantly.
A hole appeared quietly on the window paper.
Sheng Qingye thought of the window paper he had broken.
What I thought in my heart was that even Master was so elegant when he peeked.
Through the small hole, Tang Yixin looked inside.
Just opposite him, in front of the dressing table, sat a woman with disheveled hair, sitting there motionless.
She was wearing the same colorful striped robe she had worn during the day.
Tang Yixin immediately thought of a scene from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
On the table next to the woman, a circular magic circle was suspended. The runes were not complete, like a broken circuit, and some lines had not yet lit up.
Tang Yixin suddenly thought of something. This magic circle looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Xuan Yuran tugged at the corner of Tang Yixin's clothes at this time, and his curious eyes seemed to ask him what he saw.
He is young and always full of curiosity.
Tang Yixien made way for him and motioned Xuan Yuran to go and watch.
Xuan Yuran looked inside through the small hole.
Tang Yixin also wanted him to see the magic circle.
After a moment, Xuan Yuran said softly in a doubtful voice:
"Master, there's nothing inside."
Sure enough, Tang Yixin noticed at this moment that the light in the room suddenly dimmed.
The light from Jin Xiaoxiao's Lingxi fan also disappeared.
Sheng Qingye's eyes grew alert, and he gripped the chain in his hand even tighter.
At this moment, Tang Yixin suddenly felt a breath behind him, and the other three also felt it.
"Several strangers, what do you have to say for you that you come here so late?" The voice of the high priest floated over.
Tang Yixien thought they were able to hide their aura, so why were they discovered so quickly?
It was as if she had known they would come.
The high priest's tattered robe was very long, dragging at his feet. He never took off the hat on his robe. From the black hole under the hat, a low, cold and gentle voice came out:
"I advise all outsiders not to meddle in other people's business. There are some things you can't control."
It seems that every high priest would say this.
Whether he cares or not is his business, the key is whether he can care or not.
Tang Yixian's hand was already on the sword, his clear expression suddenly darkened and he said:
"I just want to know, what will happen if we don't hold this Heavenly Chosen Festival?"
The high priestess felt the chill that was so intense. She quietly stepped back, sneered, and said:
"Sir, you don't think that I forced the villagers to perform this Heaven's Chosen Ceremony, do you?"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door from the direction of the house, and the sound instantly resounded throughout the house.
There must be some device installed on this door, so the sound of knocking can be heard in every corner of the house.
The high priest turned his black hat towards the door and paused for a moment:
"Everyone, please go back. I have something to attend to, so I'm sorry I can't receive you."
After saying that, the high priest walked towards the door. He walked so silently that it looked like he was floating there.
"Leave? How is that possible? I want to see who is outside the door." Sheng Qingye said.
Tang Yixien raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Since she wanted them to see it, he would accompany her.
It was obvious, and she wanted them to see it.
The high priest walked across the courtyard and came to the gate.
She swung the scepter in front of her, and the door creaked open from the inside out.
By the pale moonlight.
There were more than a hundred people standing outside the gate of the house.
It seems that these people should be villagers of this town.
Seeing this scene, the people on the roof were inevitably a little surprised. There were too many people.
Because at night, there are actually very few people in this town.
"These people come here in the middle of the night. Could it be some kind of ceremony?" Jin Xiaoxiao pondered and said softly.
"In my opinion, we should just kill Lili. It's obvious that she is not a good person." Sheng Qingye said with a frown.
"If only it were that simple." Jin Xiaoxiao whispered.
An octogenarian walked out of the crowd and said in a dull and old voice:
"High Priest, the Heavenly Chosen Ceremony has passed, so we must select the next Heavenly Chosen Person as soon as possible."
The high priest stepped out of the door without saying a word, just silently looking at the people in front of him.
"Yeah...that's right."
"It has to be done as soon as possible."
Some villagers echoed from the side.
Suddenly, there was a lot of noise, and there seemed to be a hint of fear mixed in with the noise.
It seems that this Heaven Chosen Festival is necessary.
The old man placed his hands flat in front of him and said soothingly:
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, we will elect the next one tonight, please be patient"
Everyone immediately fell silent.
When Tang Yixin saw this, he finally understood what the high priest said. It turned out that this was how the villagers wanted to perform the Heavenly Chosen Sacrifice.
If they don't do it, something bad will probably happen, so these villagers are afraid.
Judging from the way these villagers are dressed and look, they should be the patriarchs of the sects in this town.
At this time, the old man continued:
"This time, the chosen one will be chosen from among the Zhang family."
As soon as these words fell.
The dark crowd automatically separated, with a dozen people standing in the middle of the crowd.
These dozen or so people all had sad faces. They were the Zhang family members the old man had mentioned.
The other villagers automatically formed a circle and all looked at the dozen or so people who were circled.
After a while...
"I choose him."
"I choose him too."
"I... choose him too."
Thirteen people, twelve of them pointed at a thin man with small eyes at the same time.
"Father, father, I don't want to die. I don't want to be the chosen one. Please."
The man with small eyes who was pointed out was the youngest son of the Zhang family, Master Zhang.
Master Zhang was so frightened that he trembled all over and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.
He tugged at his father's clothes and begged for mercy.
