Chapter 444 Dragon
After being locked up in the cell for more than half a month, Luo Shan found the food in the cell so disgusting that he could not even see it.
Fortunately, there was plenty of food in the ring space, and she was a cultivator, so it didn't matter if she didn't eat or drink.
The day of the sacrifice soon arrived. Luo Shan saw the jailer carrying buckets of water in. Just as he was curious, he heard the jailer put down the buckets and open the cell door.
Then he grabbed a beggar and pushed him into the bucket.
"It stinks so bad, and we have to clean it for these people. It's really unlucky that we two brothers have to do all the bad things." A jailer said indignantly, and then he cursed at the beggar:
"Wash it quickly. If you can't wash it clean, I will kill you!"
After saying that, he swung a whip, and the middle-aged man who was whipped screamed.
After the middle-aged man finished washing, the jailer picked up a piece of linen clothes and threw it over.
The next few were forcibly washed. After Luo Shan and Ling Wanran performed magic, they also changed into coarse linen clothes one after another.
There were about twelve people, with Luo Shan and Ling Wanran in the middle, and they were taken out of the city on a cart.
For the State of Yue, priests were a big deal. Luo Shan and Ling Wanran sat on the cart and looked at the people on both sides. There was no sympathy in these people's eyes. On the contrary, they looked very happy, as if sacrificing ten people to get a year of peace was a very cost-effective thing for them.
"Were twelve people sacrificed alive this year?"
"They are just beggars. They will die if they die."
“I hope the harvest from the fields next year will be better than this year.”
Luo Shan listened to the man's whispers with an expressionless face.
After an hour's cart ride, we finally arrived at the imperial mausoleum sacrificial altar outside Xicheng Mountain.
Luo Shan and Ling Wanran did not use their spiritual sense, but followed the group of people and went directly to the altar.
The imperial teacher looked very young, only in his early twenties. He was handsome, his black and white Taoist robe rustled in the wind, and he held a khaki bead in his hand.
With the other hand he held a long incense stick, and after praying for a while, he threw the ochre beads into the incense burner.
The green smoke drifted slowly and went straight to the west.
Time passed minute by minute, Luo Shan and Ling Wanran looked at each other, but did not choose to take action.
After the national teacher finished his polite words, he took out a talisman from his storage bag. After it spontaneously combusted, dark clouds quickly condensed in the sky.
A bolt of lightning struck the altar directly. Luo Shan and Ling Wanran's faces changed. At this moment, they sensed something was wrong.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, that earth-yellow bead is actually the heart of the earth vein."
Ling Wanran stared at the khaki bead and suddenly sent a message to Luo Shan.
She had a hunch that this was her chance.
Luosan transmitted the message:
"Later, I will capture the Imperial Master there, and you go and grab the bead."
The two looked at each other and took action instantly.
The Imperial Preceptor was only at the Nascent Soul stage. When he noticed something unusual outside the Imperial Preceptor's residence, he guessed that a cultivator was targeting him.
Therefore, during the sacrifice, the national teacher kept his eyes on the people below and did not take too much precautions against the beggars on the altar.
After all, in his eyes, monks would not bother to dress up as beggars.
Therefore, the Heart of the Earth directly sealed the altar. Even if someone wanted to take action and wanted to break through the protective shield of the Heart of the Earth, they would have to do so unless they were a powerful person who had transcended the tribulation.
But he never imagined that it was his clever move that would trap himself in the barrier.
So much so that when Luo San made his move, the national teacher was immobilized before he could even react.
When he came to his senses, his Earth Vein Heart had been stolen.
Luo Shan grabbed the imperial teacher's robe, invaded his sea of consciousness with his spiritual sense, forcibly imprisoned his soul, and began to search his soul.
This soul search was completely different from what I had heard before.
It is interesting to see that the state teacher was in cahoots with the dragon and deliberately staged a human sacrifice to steal the fortune of the Yue State.
If someone had a lower level of cultivation, he would not be able to bear it if his soul was forcibly searched. Fortunately, the national teacher was at the Nascent Soul stage, and after the forced soul search, only his spirit and soul suffered some damage.
After realizing that Luo Shan and the female cultivator were both Mahayana cultivators, he became so frightened that his face turned pale.
"Senior, I don't know when I have offended you. I hope you can spare my life." There was a pleading look in the national teacher's eyes, fearing that Luo San would kill him directly.
Thinking about how his soul was forcibly searched by this Mahayana cultivator, the National Master did not dare to say that he was wronged, and simply pushed everything onto the dragon behind the scenes.
"Senior, I was ordered by the dragon. If I didn't obey, it would kill me. I had no choice."
This statement was half true and half false. The Imperial Master only hoped that this Mahayana cultivator would focus his attention on the dragon so that he could find a way to escape.
"Seniors, that dragon has already cultivated to the Mahayana stage, and has several magic weapons in his hands. You two seniors must be careful."
Ling Wanran took the Earth Vein Heart, put it into the space of her ring, and walked over.
Hearing the words of the national teacher, he also frowned.
The Mahayana demon was somewhat difficult to deal with, but she, fellow Daoist Luo, and her corpse puppet made up three Mahayana cultivators, so they would not be afraid of the demon cultivator if a real fight broke out.
Just as he was thinking about it, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and several inky black clouds flew over from the distance. Among the clouds, a black dragon was swimming and winding.
The people watching from afar had not yet reacted to the movement on the altar, but when they saw the dragon swimming in the clouds in the distance, they instantly knelt down devoutly.
Luo Shan and Ling Wanran's mouths twitched, and they directly destroyed the national teacher's cultivation, threw him aside, and then flew quickly towards the cloud with the two of them.
The people below were staring at this scene in amazement; they really couldn't react.
"It's a fairy!"
"He is truly an immortal!"
"What is the immortal doing? Why is he fighting with the dragon? What's going on?"
The people didn't understand. After all, to them, the only creature that could fly in the clouds was a dragon.
And anyone who can fly in the sky is naturally an immortal.
The dragon and the immortals were their unattainable beliefs, but now, the two sides suddenly started fighting in the sky. How could the people not be confused?
The incense that the national teacher had lit before was a signal to communicate with the dragon. As long as the incense was lit, it meant that the sacrifice had begun.
It needs to show up, gain the faith of the people, and then roll up its food and return to its cave.
But this time, before he could show off his power, he saw two figures on the ground approaching quickly.
At first, it thought that it was just a low-level monk who discovered the truth about the priest, and did not take it seriously.
After all, this situation has happened several times, but most cultivators in the secular world can only cultivate to the Jindan stage. Who would have thought that this time, there would be two Mahayana cultivators.
When the dragon saw that one of them was in the late Mahayana stage, he instantly became alert.
However, it was not too afraid, after all, it was also in the late Mahayana stage.
