Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 225: Seeing God in a Dream, the Grand Ceremony of the Mother Cult

"I slept peacefully last night, but somehow I had a strange dream. I dreamed that I walked out of the inn and wandered around the city..."

"Then a majestic figure suddenly appeared, standing above the nine heavens. I couldn't see his specific appearance, but his otherworldly and lofty aura was very impressive."

"I also saw that the people were cheering and worshipping, the gods and ghosts were submitting to him, but that figure just stood there proudly without making any movements, just like a god."

Seeing Jiang Yue stop, Jia Yin thought for a moment and slowly told him what he had seen and heard in his dream.

“I never dreamed.”

Miao Xingyu on the side had a strange look on his face, turned his head and spoke.

"I also slept peacefully all night without any dreams."

"Listening to this description, this is not a simple dream. We are in the territory of Lizhou..."

"Could it be that that being has set his sights on us?"

Jiang Yue's expression also changed slightly, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Generally speaking, dreams are illusory. What you see during the day you will dream about at night.

But that is for ordinary people, while monks or powerful demons have their own ways to control other people's dreams.

Jiang Yue had seen a tiger monster in his dream before, but its strength was not enough to have any impact on Jiang Yue at that time. He was even beaten up by Jiang Yue in his dream.

But now, if this dream is controlled by that person...

We have no resistance at all.

Jiang Yue and Miao Xingyu are fine. With their strength, the worst that can happen is that they won't sleep for dozens of days, and the impact won't be that big.

Although Jiayin is protected by Shinto laws, his body is weak after all, so he still needs sleep.

"This dream may be a reminder from Him, indicating that He has discovered us. However, we don't know what signal He has sent, whether it is friendly or has other intentions."

"But if that's the case, why didn't Miao Xingyu and I have this dream last night..."

Being here, Jiang Yue naturally didn't think that this was just a coincidence, and had to think in other directions.

But only Jiayin appeared in the dream, perhaps there was a reason for it.

Is it because of the Yunmeng Pearl?

The opponent's methods may not be able to penetrate into the Yunmeng Pearl. After all, although its rank is slightly inferior to the divine seal, it is also regarded as a treasure in the world.

Moreover, even if the possible Mother of No Birth has indeed attained immortality, the means of her followers may not be superior to Yunmengzhu.

There are no immortal gods in the world anymore. Although the foundation of the Mother Religion is not an illusory legend, the one that is believed in has indeed not appeared in the world for a long time.

"We don't need to worry about a being of this level directly attacking us... the most we have to worry about is their followers."

Jiang Yue climbed onto his horse and stopped thinking about it.

It was just dawn at this time, and there were few pedestrians on the street, it was very deserted.

Holding the reins, the two men gently urged the horses forward, with the sound of hooves ringing out.

The scene before me formed a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle when I first entered the city. Apart from the sound of horse hooves, it was completely silent, making the atmosphere very eerie.

"Is it because this is the custom here that no one gets up early..."

"But it's a big city after all, how can it be so dead silent?"

It’s not that Jiang Yue was overthinking it, but the scene before him was too abnormal and very different from what he had seen elsewhere.

Jia Yin, who was riding a red dragon horse, also felt strange. When she passed another street, her pupils shrank and she exclaimed: "I've seen this scene before!"

"It's exactly the same as in my dream, except that I wasn't riding a dragon horse. It's this street!"

"I was in a daze at the time, my body seemed to be moving forward out of control, and then I saw..."

As she spoke, she raised her head and tried to look into the distance, with horror still in her eyes. She continued, "Should we change the direction to leave the city?"

"That's too late."

Miao Xingyu shook his head, the Chixiao in his hand was already unsheathed, and the whole person was ready to strike like a sharp sword.

Finally, a figure appeared at the end of the street.

A group of people were walking on the side of the street, not very fast, almost like crawling. There were men, women, old and young in the crowd. Those wearing brocade clothes and those wearing linen clothes were mixed in a row, and they were walking in one direction.

If you look closely, you will find that those people have empty and dull eyes, their faces look pale and bluish under the dim sunlight, their lips move mechanically, and they mutter to themselves, but you can't hear the specific words, only a buzzing sound echoing in the air.

If only one person was like this, perhaps he was just suffering from hysteria, which would not be surprising.

But what if hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people are like this?
The long queue on the street was like a dragon, so dense that there was no end in sight. All the people had the same expression, which frightened Jiang Yue.

"I'm afraid I have intruded into some strange ritual..."

"what?"

Jiang Yue gently pulled the reins, but saw that the red dragon horse next to him had not stopped yet, so he hurried forward and controlled it with one hand. Sure enough, Jiayin's eyes gradually became empty.

"stop!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yue shouted angrily, his voice was as loud as a huge bell, deafening, and the magical power of the divine eye between his eyebrows was also used.

Sure enough, after this loud shout, Jiayin's eyes became clear again, but he was a little confused about his own behavior.

"I just...fell asleep?"

Holding the reins, Jiang Yue turned his head again, only to see that hundreds of people seemed to have heard his voice and were all looking over here.

But after just one look, the team stopped moving and just kept spinning in place like zombies.

A trace of struggle flashed in the cloudy eyes of an old man, and a hissing moan came from his throat, like an angry snake.

The people around them suddenly seemed to be offended and they all looked at Jiang Yue with hatred in their eyes.

The divine eye between the eyebrows has the ability to break the law, but it is somewhat powerless to free so many people from control.

"It turns out that he has been bewitched by some evil spell."

Jiang Yue frowned, and was even more certain that something was wrong, so he quickly prepared to turn his horse around.

But when I turned around, I found that the street behind me had been crowded at some point, and all I could see was that strange crowd of people.

"Too many people."

Miao Xingyu stood there with a sword in his hand, but did not make a move for a long time. The movements of those people in front of him seemed extremely slow, and they also made many flaws when they moved.

嗏

There are too many people. It doesn't mean that we can't defeat them because of the large numbers, but that we just can't bear it.

The woman holding the child, the haggard old man, and the skinny boy rushing towards them with his teeth bared...

After all, he is a member of the Sky Patrol Department. How could he bear to use his full strength in such a situation?

"It doesn't matter, these people are not enemies."

Jiang Yue was a little annoyed, but he didn't get angry at this time. He summoned the demon-binding rope from the sea of ​​blood and threw it behind him, immediately blocking the advancing human wall. "It's not targeting the three of us, but... just the aliens."

"As long as you make yourself one of the same kind, you should be fine."

He had just observed that when Jiayin's eyes were dazed and he was about to approach the team, the other people did not react at all.

Therefore, as long as "abnormal behavior" is not perceived, these people will not hinder it.

As he spoke, Jiang Yue let his mind go, followed his instinct, and slowly walked into the team.

The crowd that had been baring their teeth and claws suddenly paused, then turned around again and walked in the original direction.

really!

It is not difficult to disguise yourself like this. After all, if you do it intentionally, how can you be discovered?

Seeing this, Miao Xingyu and Jia Yin also walked over slowly and put away the hostility in their hearts.

This team was not moving aimlessly. Although they were moving slowly, they had a clear destination. Jiang Yue quietly raised his head and saw that the end of the street was the center of Tianfeng City.

In the distance, a huge statue stood proudly, its face looming in the haze of dawn, as if spying on these strange worshippers.

The tattered flags erected on both sides fluttered, as if something was whispering in the dark. The wind whistled through the crowd, as if countless wronged souls were wailing.

The crowd seemed to have heard nothing, still immersed in this sacred worship ceremony, and continued to move forward.

Soon, hundreds of people approached the statue and knelt on the ground respectfully. Their eyes were still empty, but they revealed a strange sense of piety.

Jiang Yue vaguely heard a series of dull "dong dong" sounds, which seemed to come from the direction of the statue, as if something was about to break out of its shell.

Knowing that something was wrong, Jiang Yue focused his mind and tried to avoid danger and seek good fortune, but he did not get a clear result for a long time.

It's uncertain whether good or bad, it's like this again.

This does not mean that the ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune has failed, but it just means that what you are encountering now is rather special, and whether it is good or bad depends on your personal choice.

After all, this ability is not about predicting, not to mention that the future is uncertain. What you do next can truly determine good or bad luck.

At least it's not a clear omen of bad luck...

The result now showed that the danger was not great, and Jiang Yue was relieved. However, he saw dozens of figures running towards him in the distance.

Those figures were completely different from the crowd. They were moving at an extremely fast speed, constantly jumping along the stone road, and all of them were carrying leather bags made of animal skins.

The other party did not notice the three people in the team. They quickly passed the crowd and came to the statue. The leader raised the leather bag in his hand high and said, "May the Holy Mother bless you. I killed seven demons last night!"

"The offerings have been prepared, and we shall begin the great sacrifice of this month."

As he spoke, he scattered all the demon blood in his bag into the sacrificial trough, and the people around him did the same. After doing these actions, he turned his head and looked at the people who were moving towards him.

"The Mother Goddess bless..."

The man recited softly, then stretched out his hand and selected a few people. Soon someone came forward and pulled them out of the crowd and brought them to the altar.

Human sacrifice?

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiayin was shocked, but he also knew that he must not be exposed at this time. He could only shift his gaze elsewhere and dared not look again to prevent his mind from being shaken.

"Is this the place again... But I remember that they don't practice human sacrifice?"

"Otherwise, how could he have such a high reputation among the people..."

Jiang Yue narrowed his eyes, having already made preparations for the response. There was no need to think too much about the identities of those people, as they were obviously members of the Mother Church.

As for the comparison of strength between the two sides, he had already thought about it.

According to a rough estimate, escaping should not be difficult.

Good or bad luck is not yet determined, it all depends on your choice...

Jiang Yue is not a born saint and has a compassionate heart, but along the way, he cannot bear to see such things happening before his eyes.

However, the people who were dragged onto the altar were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to look directly at the statue.

One of the old men was hunched over, and every time he kowtowed, his joints made a creepy creaking sound, as if his body could fall apart at any time, but he did not stop and continued to kowtow.

There was also a woman holding a child, her eyes were dull, her body was stiff, and she kept pulling her child to kowtow together.

The sun gradually rose, and the sunlight finally broke through the haze with difficulty and fell on the towering statue.

"Mother of God!"

The man's face was still unclear, but he was seen reverently holding up the blood that had just been poured into the sacrificial trough, his movements were gentle, for fear of leaking a drop.

Then, he rested the old man's head on his waist and fed him the blood with his hands. Although the old man swallowed very slowly, the man did not show any impatience.

"Grant you a strong body and invulnerability."

The old man's eyes were no longer empty, but instead showed a hint of desire, as if he was enjoying some delicious food, and he kept swallowing the blood in his palms.

This was not enough. When there was only a little blood left, the old man hurriedly grabbed the pair of palms and licked them greedily.

Then, his hunched body gradually swelled, and he grew strong and powerful muscles. His wrinkled face became as delicate as a baby's, and it was impossible to recognize his previous appearance.

The sticky and pungent demon blood was like a miracle drug, almost reshaping his body!
"It stands to reason that such a weak body cannot withstand the huge energy..."

Jiang Yue frowned, thinking secretly in his heart.

The scene before him did not seem to be a human sacrifice, but rather a sacrifice of human with the blood of demons. Although he did not know what the method was, it was still magical.

It can actually turn a haggard old man into a strong man in an instant, and his physical body is almost comparable to that of an experienced warrior.

When it came to the woman, the man acted as usual, still carefully feeding her blood, but the words he chanted changed.

"I grant you eternal youth and eternal beauty."

The woman's body didn't change much, but if you looked closely, you would notice that her face looked like she was ten years younger, which was quite magical.

"Granted you a brilliant mind and a photographic memory."

The child seemed to understand the ritual, but after drinking the demon's blood, he began to kowtow on his own initiative with great piety.

"Our Lady of Glory..."

The man looked around and saw that there was still some demon blood left in the tank. He didn't want to waste it. He shook his hands and shook it all out.

Blood was pouring down like rain, but the people did not fight over it. Those who were lucky enough to come into contact with the blood drops all experienced changes, and the whole scene looked harmonious.

only…

Jiang Yue stared at the man on the stage and didn't say anything for a long time.

This ceremony was not what he thought, a human sacrifice, but it seemed to be beneficial to humans.

What is the cost of such means?
The man seemed to sense something, and gently took off his bamboo hat and said towards Jiang Yue: "Two inspectors, how are you?"

Jiang Yue looked more closely and found that the man in front of him was somewhat familiar, not in appearance, but in the voice that was no longer concealed...

He was exactly the same person who communicated with them in the Sky Survey Order when they first entered Lizhou!
Patrolling the sky and protecting the law, all orders are needed!
