Chapter 26 Father-in-law and mother-in-law
Chapter 26 Father-in-law and mother-in-law
The circular stairs shrank in circles, and the distribution of sacrifice sculptures also decreased layer by layer. When it reached the top stairs, there were only four sculptures left. They flew past the two sculptures in front. In an instant, Nie Kong's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes fixed on the last two sculptures.
This is a middle-aged man and woman whose faces are reflected by Nie Kong's divine power.
"Hua Chen! Jing Rong!"
These two names suddenly popped up in Nie Kong's mind.
Although Nie Kong had never seen Hua Mei's parents, when she unsealed Hua Mei's seal in the "Flower Butterfly Secret Realm", her memories of more than ten years were open to him without reservation.
Nie Kong still remembers Hua Chen and Jing Rong's appearances fresh.
The moment he saw these two sculptures, what he saw in front of him quickly overlapped with the two faces in his mind, which made Nie Kong recognize them immediately.
Compared with the ninety-six sculptures on the surrounding stairs, the black surface of Hua Chen and Jing Rong was relatively light, so that even the expressions on their faces were clearly revealed. Standing in front of them, Nie Kong could even clearly feel their worries, helplessness and resentment at that time.
"Swoosh!"
The figure paused slightly, and Nie Kong immediately came to Hua Chen's body, pressed his head lightly with his right hand, and then his thoughts moved, Xiangxiang's natal medicinal power quietly revealed.
At this time, Nie Kong couldn't help but feel a sense of luck in his heart. Perhaps his father-in-law and mother-in-law were not dead yet!
The person who sacrifices the soul here should be a dark spirit god.
It is impossible for a strong man at the peak of the Spirit God to break through the spatial constraints of the "Taizun Spirit Realm" and the Tianling Continent, and directly come here with his own body to perform the "soul sacrifice".
The biggest possibility is that the spirit god entrusted his spiritual thoughts in the "soul ball" in the center of the altar through the envoy of the Spirit Temple, and then controlled the soul ball in the Taizun Spirit Realm to sacrifice the souls of these heavenly spirit powerhouses. This method is extremely safe, but it takes longer.
Judging from the interval between the Spirit God Temple transporting the powerful heavenly spirits here, it is estimated that it will take about fifty years before the spirit god can successfully temper two souls. After the tempering is successful, the spirit god can separate a ray of soul and blend it with it, and then improve the soul after a long period of time.
Tempering, fusion, enhancement...
In the three stages, the most cruel stage of tempering, the soul of the Tianling Master must be extracted bit by bit. In the process of tempering, the Tianling Master must also be ensured that the Tianling Master is always awake. Only after the last trace of soul is tempered will the Tianling Master die completely.
This process is like the Lingchi in Nie Kong's previous life.
With the will of the Heavenly Spirit Master, he may be able to tolerate the lingchi of the body, but few people can tolerate the lingchi of the soul.
Now, Hua Chen and Jing Rong have been imprisoned here for less than ten years, and their bodies are not dark and not very rich. It is estimated that their souls are in the process of being tempered and have not completely died. As long as the souls of the two have not been destroyed, Nie Kong is fully confident to save them.
"It's true that I'm not dead!"
A few seconds later, Nie Kong was overjoyed. There was still a little vitality left in Hua Chen's body. The body was not dead, so naturally the soul was even more unlikely to die.
He quietly withdrew his palm and came to Jing Rong's side again.
After a moment of investigation, Nie Kong breathed a sigh of relief, and Jing Rong still had a faint vitality in her body.
"How about it?"
Lan Ling followed and leaned against Nie Kong. When she thought that she almost became such a sculpture, even she couldn't help but feel a creepy feeling.
"fine."
Nie Kong nodded gently, and after judging that Hua Chen and Jing Rong were not dead, he did not investigate their souls, mainly because he did not want to alarm the unknown spirit god.
If you want to control the soul ball on the altar smoothly and freely in the Taizun Spirit Realm, you must have a turnover.
This is definitely the messenger of God.
For nearly 2,500 years, there have been gods who have been continuously maintaining the arrival of the spirit god. According to Hua Mei's memory, there is a God-Transporting Tower in the Spirit God Temple. The so-called God-Transporting God is communicating with the Spirit God. If Nie Kong guessed correctly, he might be hiding in the God-Transporting Tower.
Now, as long as Nie Kong does not touch the souls of these sculptures, he will not disturb him. In this way, Nie Kong can calmly find ways to rescue Hua Chen and Jing Rong.
Watching the soul ball at the top of the altar, Nie Kong pondered: "Lan Ling, in the 2,400 years you have been guarding here, the Spirit Temple has come forty-eight times. Have you ever noticed an abnormality among those who escorted the sacrifice?"
"abnormal?"
Lan Ling was stunned for a moment and clapped her hands after recalling for a while, "I remembered that there seemed to be a very young guy in the crowd every time she was escorted, sometimes a woman, sometimes a man. Moreover, every young man came here twice in a row and stopped appearing."
Nie Kong said thoughtfully: "What else?"
"besides……"
Lan Ling thought hard for a while before she said a little embarrassedly, "When they came, I was either sleeping or practicing, and I didn't pay special attention... By the way, among the twenty-four young people who have been here, it seems that all of them are spiritual masters who practice dark spiritual power."
“That’s right.”
Nie Kong nodded and said, "The twenty-four young people you have seen have the same soul hidden in their bodies. That is the spirit god who performed the 'soul sacrifice'. It's just that the god in the temple has been replaced within a hundred years. If you think about it carefully, you will definitely feel familiar every time you see those young people."
Lan Ling suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, it's true, it's a bit familiar. I thought they were all dark spirit masters at first, but I didn't pay attention to it later." As she said that, she looked around for a few glances, Lan Ling couldn't help asking, "What do we need to do now?"
After entering the passage and learning the truth about her guarding the prison, Lan Ling's only grudge dissipated and she was completely convinced by Nie Kong. Because of these strange sculptures and mistballs, she knew that Nie Kong did not deceive her, and there was no need to deceive herself.
In the past two thousand years, even when the Lord of the Spirit Temple drew a trace of her soul breath, she was always grateful to the Spirit Temple and tried her best to protect the passage here, and never let any outsiders enter. But now she can only be angry at the Spirit Temple.
In addition to being angry, Lan Ling secretly glad that Nie Kong came here. Otherwise, she might have to wait until she was sacrificed and refined before she could understand that she was a fool who was sold and helped count money. At that time, she could only watch herself die step by step in infinite regret.
"I'll think about it again."
Nie Kong closed his eyes and calmed down. The fragments of "soul sacrifice" in Pangu's memory flashed through his mind like a lantern.
