1086: C1086 Merit Stage

C1086 Merit Stage

When Gu Zhenghai heard this, he asked doubtfully, "Could it be that when the medicine furnace comes, no one is allowed to watch?"

The flat-faced woman shook her head and said, "That's fine. However, the furnaces are all wearing phoenix crowns and red robes, and they're all covered with a veil, so I can't see their appearances."

Gu Zhenghai asked again, "When will the sacrificial flame be ignited? Will someone climb to the top of the stone tower and light it up? "

When the two girls heard this, they immediately covered their mouths and laughed lightly.

"You're so funny, pretending to be real."

The flat-faced woman covered her mouth and laughed, "This Sacrificial Flame isn't something that anyone can light. It's up to the old ancestor to decide when to light it up."

"Furthermore, the Sacrificial Flame isn't an ordinary flame. It's an especially cold flame."

Gu Zhenghai said with a puzzled expression, "An especially cold flame? Shouldn't flames be hot?"

The fat woman said, "That's why the sacrificial flames are not ordinary flames. Other than the old ancestor, no one else can ignite such flames."

"The elders have mentioned it before. Back when the Old Master was guarding the valley and fighting with the people outside, he let go of the Sacrificial Flame."

"Even the eyes of the Sacrificial Flame are white. Those who are burned by that flame will not leave any marks on their bodies."

"However, the bones would be swallowed bit by bit by the flames that seeped into their bodies. In the end, those who were burned to death would appear to be fine on the surface, but in reality, their bones had already been burnt to white carbon, and they died a very miserable death."

Gu Zhenghai frowned slightly and gave Yang Xuan a look without batting an eye. He then looked at the two girls and continued to ask, "When does the Sacrificial Flames usually ignite?"

The fat woman looked up at the sky and said, "Although there is no fixed time, according to the past, the sacrificial flame should ignite after a while."

"Look, the Sacrificial Flame has lit up!"

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands and knelt down on the ground in unison. They shouted loudly, "We wish the Ancestor a long and boundless life!"

Yang Xuan and Gu Zhenghai also squatted down in order to not attract attention, and then quietly raised their heads to look at the top of the stone tower.

The two ugly girls were not wrong. The flame at the top of the stone tower was indeed different from the others.

Ordinary flames were either light yellow or dark red.

The flame at the top of the stone tower was the same kind of incandescent light. It floated at the top of the stone tower like a ghost, appearing extremely strange.

The surrounding temperature also rapidly dropped. Just now, it was still unbearably hot, but now it suddenly felt cool.

A man wearing a black pointy hat stood on a stone platform that was about three meters tall and shouted at the top of his voice, "Pass on the ancestral grace. Everyone, please take a seat. Please let your parents enter the Merit Platform and take a seat!"

On one side of the open space, there was a tall platform that was about two meters tall. On the tall platform, there were a dozen or so chairs covered in beast skins.

Presumably, this was the Merit Platform of that person.

There was no need to ask about this Merit Platform. Even with a thumb, one could guess that it was to express the 'Merit' of those medicinal furnaces' parents.

If one were to say that this Myriad Spirit Ancestor was also a murderer, not only did he brazenly snatch the daughter of someone else, he even made it seem as if someone else had made a great contribution.

His original intention might have been to brainwash these people, but this operation was truly a bit ridiculous.

Even though the people here were isolated, they were not stupid. Furthermore, they were originally a group of evil people who had committed all sorts of evil deeds outside. If they could not even see through this little mystery, then these people would have long died outside.

As his voice fell, a group of middle-aged men and women dressed in fine clothes walked in a line towards the Merit Platform. The people beside them all smiled and congratulated them.

These people seemed to be congratulating them, but in reality, they were glad that such a thing hadn't happened to them.

Whether it was a disaster or a happy occasion, they knew very well.

After the group of middle-aged men and women sat down, Yang Xuan saw the middle-aged man called Zhou Dingtian whom he had seen in the woods earlier.

He still had an expressionless face, as if this had nothing to do with him.

In contrast, the middle-aged woman sitting next to him had a gloomy face, full of helplessness, sadness, and a trace of anger.

"Please come out of the furnace!"

The man wearing the black pointy hat shouted at the top of his lungs like a eunuch.

Then, a group of women wearing red phoenix coronet and a veil over their heads slowly walked over in a line under the escort of a group of armored soldiers.

Because they were all wearing the same clothes and had a veil over their heads, it was impossible to determine who the green peony was.

"Brother Yang."

Gu Zhenghai suppressed his voice and said, "The Peony Chief's parents are not here. When we toast later, the one who is alone will definitely be her."

Yang Xuan frowned slightly.

The most important thing now was not to find out who the green peony was, but to find out how to bring it out.

There were tens of thousands of people present at the same time. Half of them were trained soldiers and hundreds of cultivators.

Moreover, there was also an old monster with unfathomable cultivation inside the stone tower.

In addition, the man called Zhou Dingtian on the Merit Platform was also unclear about the specific situation.

He had absolutely no chance to snatch the green peony away in front of everyone's eyes.

"Medicine Furnace to Gratitude Wine!"

The man wearing the black pointy hat shouted with a long voice.

Then, someone handed a cup of wine to each "medicine furnace," and the "medicine furnaces," walked towards their parents across from them with wine glasses.

However, one of them was still standing there. Needless to say, that person must be a green peony.

"Brother Yang, something is not right."

Gu Zhenghai suppressed his voice and said, "The peony leader is not tied with a rope. How can she not have any reaction? With her personality, even if she dies, she will not compromise."

"It's not just her."

Yang Xuan frowned and said, "The dozen or so women around her are also very strange."

Gu Zhenghai took a closer look and indeed saw some clues.

Although the dozen or so girls didn't look abnormal on the surface, if one observed them carefully, one would find that their movements were very stiff, as if they were being controlled by someone.

"What on earth did this bunch of dogs do to the Peony Chief!"

Gu Zhenghai gritted his teeth and clenched his fists so hard that cracking sounds could be heard.

"It should be fine."

Yang Xuan suppressed his voice and said, "They are all given to the Ten Thousand Spirits Old Monsters. They will definitely not let their bodies be damaged. They must have used some special means to temporarily confuse their minds."1

Gu Zhenghai gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yang, what should we do now? If the Peony Chief is sent to the stone tower later, the situation will become complicated. God knows what the Ten Thousand Spirit Old Monsters will do to the Peony Chief."

Yang Xuan frowned. He thought about it but could not come up with a complete plan. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "We can't care about that anymore. Let's think of a way to create chaos first. Then take the Peony away during the chaos. At worst, we can just leave it here today! "
