Jiang Lu's answer was simple: "With tens of millions of mansions, the poor people in the world will be happy!"
Mrs. Han was very moved and took three big bites angrily.
At this point, Jiang Lu has done everything he can.
With the layout completed and the cracks gradually becoming unstable, the day finally came for the opening of the sacrificial ceremony.
After final confirmation by the elders, in addition to the Bailiu Sect disciples who were originally qualified to participate, an exception was made to allow spare tires like Hen Lie, who originally had to wait for several years to have a chance to catch the next train, to also participate. Go in.
The purpose is to take this opportunity to improve the overall strength of Bailiu Sect as much as possible. Of course, it would be better if one or even several people can ascend.
This move is equivalent to sinking all the resources of Bailiu Sect on this sacrifice, whether it is the resources arranged or the accumulation of talents.
If they don't succeed, then what they need to face is the endless troubles caused by being reborn.
Everyone knew it, but they had no hesitation.
Because they have all been waiting for this day for too long!
At Qingyoumen, the protector is making the final mobilization of the elders.
"Although there are layers of secrecy, the news has not been leaked out yet, but once the ceremony is opened, the magic flames will be overwhelming, and it can no longer be concealed.
By then, those who secretly covet it will definitely think that the so-called opportunity is here, and they will no longer be able to sit still..."
The protector solemnly and respectfully said:
"When the time comes, it will all depend on you. The future of our Bailiu Sect depends on today!"
“But the Immortal…” The Great Elder was worried and hesitated to speak.
When they first heard the news that Jiang Lu had conveyed, they all scoffed.
But when they heard about the force called the "Ministry of Fengqing" in the news, they were all stunned.
Because they have all heard of this mysterious force.
This name may be unfamiliar to the elders in the Fusion stage, but it is very familiar to Bailiu Sanxionggui in the Tribulation stage and even the sect leader in the Mahayana stage.
This is definitely not something Jiang Lu made up out of thin air.
The owner of Stargazing Building calculated with his fingers and found that just deducing whether what Jiang Lu said was true or false was met with severe backlash, and he became more and more convinced that the involvement was serious.
I would rather trust it to have it than to trust it to have nothing.
So these days they have been discussing how to deal with the enemy mentioned by Jiang Lu, but after studying for so many days, they have not found any reason.
The immortals and they were not in the same dimension at all. In the face of absolute power, all calculations seemed so fragile.
This is also what worries other elders. When the elder mentioned it, they all looked forward to it, hoping that the protector could give an explanation that would reassure them.
But he didn't.
The protector just remained calm and said calmly: "Leave it to the sect master, he may have a way."
"But..." The great elder said to himself, "I don't know if he has any solution." But just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the protector.
"As of now, I won't hide it from you anymore."
He sighed helplessly and pointed directly above them:
"The sect leader is in the sky right now, and his perception completely covers the entire Qingyou Mountain, but he will not help us because he has only one goal, and that is the immortal.
If the sect leader cannot stop the immortal after trying all methods, then he will sacrifice the life soul of the Mahayana period as a sacrifice in exchange for being cursed.
Even an immortal would have to avoid the edge of a curse of this magnitude, and the delay would be enough to completely open the cracks. "
"This..." Everyone was shocked.
But before any of them could say anything, the protector waved his hand: "No need to say more, this is the sect master's choice and his responsibility. We...just do what we should do."
Suddenly, the elders of the Bailiu Sect reached an unprecedented level of cohesion. Regardless of whether they usually deal with each other, at least now, with the sect leader, an occasionally reliable person as an example, they all put aside any thoughts and determined to fight this battle well.
At the same time, during the sacrificial ceremony, Jiang Lu was bragging to Hen Lie.
The atmosphere here is much more relaxed.
In order to prevent the disciples from being nervous and stressed as much as possible and to prepare for the ceremony with the best attitude, their master did not tell them about the threats from the outside world.
This led to Hen Lie really thinking that Jiang Lu had helped him get his spot. The first time he saw Jiang Lu, he punched Jiang Lu's chest, showing a smile of trust between men.
"No more words to say. From now on, we will talk about our own things. You call me Second Senior Brother, and I call you Brother Jiang."
At this moment, Jiang Lu couldn't be fooled. It took him a long time to remember, and he probably misunderstood.
However, this was more or less a beautiful misunderstanding, so in order to protect Hen Lie’s face, Jiang Lu, who had actually forgotten about this matter long ago, just stepped down and nodded:
"Then I would be disrespectful."
"It should, it should." Henlie nodded and bowed.
Jiang Lu chatted with him a few more times and finally brushed the matter over.
Looking at the direct disciples of the elders in the square, Hen Lie quietly introduced their identities to Jiang Lu with every detail.
After introducing them one by one, Lie Lie's face was full of solemnity: "I didn't expect that the number of people participating in the sacrifice this time was more than twice that of before. They are all very strong competitors. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve three consecutive jumps with the sacrifice this year. ”
"Competitors?" Jiang Lu rubbed his chin and looked around with a smile on his face: "I think they all look like good kids."
"Good boy? Let's leave the others aside. Have you forgotten the lunatic I just told you about in the Ascension Palace who killed hundreds of people to refine parts in order to create a perfect prosthetic body?"
When Hen Lie mentioned him, his hair stood on end: "Although the people killed were all bandits, pirates and desperadoes, they were human lives after all..."
"Hundreds of people?" Jiang Lu nodded: "Not bad, but how many did he kill yesterday?"
"?" Henlie stared at Jiang Lu as if he were a monster and took two steps back.
"Just kidding, I mean, apart from everything else, are those bandits right?"
Jiang Lu shrugged, acting unconcerned.
Hen Lie didn't know that after his introduction, Jiang Lu discovered that he was having an affair with the masters of these geniuses.
So Aiwujiwu, although he wanted to compete with them, Jiang Lu had already regarded them as juniors, and his eyes were full of love.
And he believed that if he suffered a loss, their master would definitely help him seek justice.
When the situation is opened, it is safe to have confidence in it.
What he is more concerned about is when the immortal will appear. This is the important point.
As thoughts circulated, the sacrificial ceremony had begun.
This time the situation was special, everything was kept simple, even the usual part of the sect leader and the guardian elders taking turns to give speeches was omitted, and we fast-forwarded directly to the stargazing building owner appearing and starting to lead the sacrifice.
The next moment, what worried the elders the most happened, because the Bailiu Sect's family fortune was emptied out at once, and the vision of this grand ceremony was even more powerful than the past ten times combined.
But when Ling was ready to deal with the black hands that might appear in the darkness at any time, they were dumbfounded.
Because until the vision returned to the various sacrifices and the ceremony was about to begin, they did not see anyone break into the mountain guarding formation of Qingyou Gate and the layers of protection they had set up.
"Did no one see what happened here?"
The protector was puzzled: "That shouldn't be the case. You can't even hide this vision. It should be visible to everyone within a hundred miles, right?"
The other elders also looked at each other, not knowing why.
What they don't know is that in order to prevent the internal commotion in Yunzhou from starting, and at the same time to prolong the reaction time of all parties, "the great pioneer of the health movement Jiang Lu", who is trying to delay every minute and second, has already announced to the outside world: Today Don’t panic when filming.
At this time, people in Yunzhou sighed as they looked at the monstrous demonic flames that had finally dissipated in the direction of Qingyou Mountain.
"I'm afraid this time it will be another shocking work!"
"It's great to live in this era! This is the best era!"
Chapter 169 Reaching the highest city in the underworld!
However, although it did not attract the immediate attention of the outside world, for those attending the festival who knew the meaning of this vision, it brought their hearts to their throats.
In the venue, there are dozens of black lotus pedestals made of rare treasures. Each pedestal is equivalent to a port connecting the underworld. Standing on the pedestal, the selected person can receive the initiation of the huge power of the underworld. , comprehend the true meaning between life and death, and look for the glimmer of opportunity to explore the road to ascension.
Such an opportunity is very dangerous for most people. If you are not careful, you may become obsessed with it, or your whole body and soul may be injected into other people's bodies and become part of the sacrifice and nourishment.
This is why the number of places each year is limited. Firstly, the lotus pedestal is expensive, and there is a lot of room for each vacant spot, so the candidates have already been named. Secondly, if the elders who are reviewing the candidates, who have also experienced the initiation, do not like the candidates, then they will most likely not be able to survive safely after the initiation, and it would just be a waste of precious opportunities.
The combination of the two creates a harsh threshold.
At this time, the lotus pedestal was already full of people, and everyone was very energetic, silently recalling the words of their respective masters in their minds, making sure that there were no mistakes.
"The big one is coming."
Henlie swallowed and looked at Jiang Lu beside him: "Don't be nervous."
As if nothing had happened, Jiang Lu looked at Hen Lie whose legs were shaking uncontrollably, with a calm face: "I'm not nervous."
After saying that, he looked at Ling Ling and Zizhu in the women's area on the other side.
Judging from their expressions, they must also be very nervous.
Fortunately, Jiang Lu took the time to tell them everything he knew about the festival, including various previous failures and their reasons.
So compared to other people who were beginning to show a bit of a loss, they were relatively calm.
This is a kind of self-confidence of the relationship!
"Well..." Hang Lie raised his head and looked at the stargazing tower owner who was about to finish the ceremony and start the initiation. He was sweating profusely and started to make small talk: "How do you feel now?"
Jiang Lu lightly stamped his feet and glanced at the lotus platform with his peripheral vision: "It feels like piloting a mecha in Pacific Rim."
"what?"
Hen Lie only had time to utter these two words before he heard the Stargazing Building Master, who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, shouting in a slightly weird tone and syllables: "Start the initiation!"
As he summoned a thunderbolt, it struck the large formation in the center of the venue. The sacrifices on the formation immediately began to burn. This meant that the formation had been established, and a steady stream of huge spiritual power was being drawn from the various sacrifices. Extract it and pour it into the lotus platform.
The next moment, Jiang Lu felt that the soles of his feet were firmly sucked onto the lotus platform.
He seemed to have seen this feeling before...
Why do I have the same feeling as when I touched the electric switch as a child?
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu suddenly turned his head to look at Hen Lie, only to see that his whole body was shaking like chaff and his eyes were starting to become blurry.
He finally understood.
“The place between life and death is achieved by fucking electrocution???”
