After reading through the book, I was fascinated by the Quanxiu Xianjie

Chapter 126 Sacrifice
After all the paper figurines came, the mayor set off with them.

Several people hid their figures and followed behind not too close or far away.

With so many paper figurines as cover, even Xie Yingxing, who has the lowest level of cultivation, is not afraid of being discovered.

After the mayor left the town, he walked to the boundary marker of the town and wiped it with his hand. Then, the archway of Linchun Town suddenly appeared on the open space behind the marker.

Just looking at the appearance, it is exactly the same as the archway they came to.

The mayor led them through the archway.

Behind the archway is the whole Linchun Town.

Although this town is the same length as that one, there are no people living in it, and it is even more empty than that one.

After all the paper figurines came in, they automatically walked to each yard. Luo Yuan and the others looked carefully, and they went to the house where they found that the paper figurines were made.

The mayor took Xue Chengyu and five people into the town, and his destination was the inn.

There is a big banyan tree at the entrance of the inn, which is not available in that town with people.

The mayor went to the big banyan tree, jumped on the trunk and took a stone.

Then the mayor went to the door of the inn and put the stone on the threshold of the inn.

The threshold of the inn is narrow, and the stone is surprisingly stable on it, without even shaking it.

The next moment the mayor puts the stone up, the inn disappears, replaced by a tunnel.

The mayor smiled and led the five of Xue Chengyu into the tunnel.

After the last person goes in, the tunnel disappears again and the inn returns.

Luo Yuan and the others waited in place for a while, guessing that they had gone far, and followed the example of the mayor to touch the stones on the tree trunk.

Sure enough, the stone was there, and Luo Yuan did the same to summon out the tunnel.

Several people looked at each other and entered the tunnel.

It was very dark in the tunnel, but it didn't affect the vision. They walked for about ten minutes before seeing a little light.

When there is a light, it means that they are about to go out. Several people began to be careful, sticking to the rock wall of the tunnel, taking every step very carefully.

Soon, several people walked to the exit of the tunnel, but instead of going out directly, they poked their heads out to observe.

Outside the entrance of the tunnel was a dark dungeon-like environment, with many iron chains as thick as babies' arms hanging on the wall, and Xue Chengyu's five people were tied to the wall.

The mayor stood on a round platform in front of the five people. There were four thick stone pillars half a person's height beside the round platform, and unintelligible characters were engraved on the pillars.

"It looks like Sanskrit, but it's not." Zhai Xisheng was well-informed and said to others.

"Could it be ancient Sanskrit?" Xu Siye immediately guessed in this direction.

"If it's written in ancient Sanskrit, then they should be offering sacrifices." Zhai Xisheng also followed her words.

"Sacrifice?" Luo Yuan raised his eyebrows. "Usually, babies, boys, girls, and girls are used for sacrifices. The five of them don't quite fit."

Among Xue Chengyu's five members, there is only one female cultivator, and the others are all male cultivators.

"Just look at what you're doing." Zhai Xisheng frowned, and he couldn't understand the mayor's intentions.

The few people quieted down and focused on watching the mayor's actions.

The mayor waved his hand, and a man in gray cloth came forward.

"Go and hang them up." The mayor smiled all over his face, looking at Xue Chengyu and the other five as if he was looking at pork that could be sold at a good price.

The man in gray got the order, walked over and hung a big iron hook on the chains that bound everyone's hands.

The iron chain connected to this big iron hook hangs from the top of the dungeon, and once it is hung up, everyone rises uncontrollably.

They stopped half a meter above the ground.

"Okay, wake them up, and then feed them holy water." The mayor waved his hand, and five tall men in gray came out from the darkness, each of them had a bell in their hands.

They walked up to several people, raised their hands and put the bells next to their ears.

The bell rang three times, and several people slowly opened their eyes.

Although a few people opened their eyes, their eyes were dull, their faces were expressionless, and they were dull and empty.

This obviously did not awaken their "soul".

The men in gray retreated after ringing the bell, hiding in the darkness.

Luo Yuan could see clearly from the outside, these people disappeared into the darkness.

Afterwards, five tall women came out from the darkness. They were wrapped in red gauze, with bells on their wrists and ankles, and they jingled as they walked.

They all held a lotus leaf in their hands, and the lotus leaf contained a transparent liquid.

"Elder Luo, they're about to be poured with holy water, won't we stop it?" Xie Yingxing looked at Luo Yuan anxiously.

He didn't know anything about Xuan Yuemen and You Ling. He only knew that Xue Chengyu and the others were monks from other sects.

Among the five Luo Yuan, Xie Yingxing was probably the only one who was a good person. When he saw students from other schools in danger, he would think of doing what was right.

Because Xie Yingxing had saved him, Luo Yuan had always been more patient with him. Although he expressed disdain for Xue Chengyu and the others at this time, he still patiently explained to Xie Yingxing.

"We are in the game now. These are probably illusions. The five of them are in danger because they have no ability. We have no reason to take the risk to save them. And it probably won't really hurt them to drink holy water. After all, these all fake."

Although Luo Yuan's words were heartless, they were not without reason.

They think about saving others before they can save themselves, which is really a bit silly.

Xie Yingxing was persuaded by Luo Yuan, although he felt guilty in his heart, he didn't say anything more about saving them.

It would be unfair to his teammates if he rescued them but put his own people in.

While the two were talking, the five of Xue Chengyu were fed the so-called holy water.

After drinking the holy water, their bodies suddenly trembled, and after a while, blood flowed out from each of their seven orifices.

The women who fed them the holy water did not leave, but held up the lotus leaves, as if to catch their blood.

They took the blood, walked to the stone pillar, and poured the blood from the four lotus leaves into the grooves on the stone pillar.

It was only now that they discovered that there were grooves on the stone pillars.

The grooves were distributed spirally around the stone pillar, and the blood quickly flowed from the top to the bottom after being poured in.

As the blood flowed, the characters engraved on the stone pillar began to emit a faint red light.

The mayor laughed a few times when he saw this, then took the fifth lotus leaf, and sat cross-legged in the center of the round platform.

The mayor held the lotus leaf in his hand, closed his eyes and meditated, his lips moved, as if he was thinking about something.

The other five women also sat down cross-legged in front of the mayor, folded their hands, and bowed their heads as if they were praying.

As the mayor muttered, it didn't take long for the round platform under him to glow faintly with blood.

　Today I ate fish meal and drank poplar nectar, it’s too hot!
