Nan Jiangli leaned into the emperor's ear and whispered, "Alien!"

The Great Emperor turned around suddenly, his face was clouded with gloom, frightened, angry, worried, shocked, it was the first time that Nan Jiangli had seen so many expressions on his father's face.

"Father knows about foreign races?" asked Nan Jiangli.

The emperor paced left and right, took a sip of cold wine, returned to his seat, sighed and said: "The alien race is an ancient nation, when it was as prosperous as the sky, it caused chaos in the southern Xinjiang of Nanjiang State, for more than 400 years, Nanjiang State has been sending troops to encircle and suppress, but it has never been able to clear it. ”

"It existed four hundred years ago, why have I never heard of it?" asked Nan Jiangli suspiciously.

"Because the alien race has disappeared for nearly thirty years, no one has found any trace of them in thirty years, and I have sent people deep into the desert many times to check, but to no avail. The alien races I know are also known through the archives. The Emperor said helplessly.

"Thirty years ago, wasn't that the time of the Immortal Gate Change!" Nan Jiangli said in surprise. "It's definitely not a coincidence, there must be some connection between the two!"

"Seventh Prince, do you mean that the alien race also participated in the Changshengmen Change? However, the Changshengmen Rebellion has been determined to be instigated by the Xuanyuan family behind the scenes, the Xuanyuan family has a grudge against the nomads, and the nomads collude with the aliens, so in this way, the Changshengmen is friendly with the aliens?"

"Participation is highly likely, but it is definitely the opposite of the Immortal Gate. Nan Jiangli said firmly.

"Oh yes!" Dark One suddenly reacted, and hurriedly reported to the Seventh Prince and the Great Emperor: "Just now, I went to the left-wing military camp with Dark Four and Five to check the five-kilometer wasteland that was vacated in vain, and it turned out that it was a wasteland on the surface, but in fact it was hidden in an underground secret room!"

"Secret room! Sure enough, I said that there must be a cat in that place!" Nan Jiangli said.

"We were about to look for the entrance to the secret room and find out, but there was a commotion on your side, and we had no choice but to come here first. Dark One said in frustration.

"Don't be discouraged, let's go together tonight, since my father is here, let's also participate in this matter, just by the power of children, we may not be able to compete with other races. "Nan Jiangli pleaded with the Emperor.

The emperor had to reluctantly agree, and the child's request was always unbearable for the father to refuse.

......

Worshipping the heavens, this is the most important activity of the nomads, this activity existed before the high priest was elected, and it can be said that it is a nomadic tradition.

Khorodi began to think carefully about what the previous festival had been like. He seemed to remember that he had read it in a book that recorded the history of nomads, which said that a long time ago, the nomads' sacrifice to heaven was not as complicated as it is now, and they only relied on the blood of the three animals to communicate with the heavens and pray for a good harvest in the coming year.

The current worship activities are all done on the altar first, sprinkled with holy water, and then take out some yellow runes and jade spirits in it, and communicate with the gods after igniting it, if it is just like this, it will be counted, but the next thing is more cruel. It is said that the blood of a young girl should be used to replace the previous three animals, and it is said that the effect is even better.

Originally, the girl's blood was not much, and so many nomads could make it up, but there were more and more in the back, but fortunately, the nomads have been fighting all year round, so Huluodi often sent some girls to the clan, but specifically asked them not to kill, just to take some blood, so there have been no accidents over the years.

And when did the decision to abandon the three animals and use the blood of the maiden in favor of the nomads appear? It is clearly written in that book, because this matter was advocated by the first high priest, and the man who wrote the book was obviously a big fan of the high priest, so he did not hesitate to praise the decision of the high priest with his pen and ink, so Khorati remembered it very well.

Originally, Huluodi also regarded it as an interesting thing, but now that Huluodi thought of it, he suddenly became alert, and when he thought of his dream, he felt that the two things were definitely not a coincidence, and there were ghosts in this sacrifice to the sky!

Huluodi narrowed her eyes, Jiang Liyi on the side saw Huluodi's appearance, and knew that Huluodi had begun to think about her own problems, but she knew that she didn't have that much time for Huluodi to figure out the whole thing, so she was ready to tell him directly.

It's not that she looks down on Huluodi's IQ, on the contrary, a person who can become a nomadic general is definitely not simple, not to mention that the city is quite deep, and it is certain that he knows all kinds of military arts. It's that a person's stereotype of another person is very difficult to change, it's like a person you always thought was a bad person, and he suddenly did something good, you must be very suspicious of him, thinking that he harbored evil intentions, it was a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, but he just wanted to do it, everything just came from his thoughts.

In the same way, it is the same for a good old man to do a bad deed, and this good man is also the high priest who has accumulated virtue for many years, and if you ask the nomads who the high priest is what kind of person he is, it must give a thumbs up. So even if Huluodi thinks of something, he will definitely slowly convince himself, but Jiang Liyi is different, she has been away from the nomads for many years, and she has seen the madness of the high priest with her own eyes, so it is easier to believe the facts.

"Don't think about it, this sacrifice to the sky is a conspiracy, in fact, the sacrifice to the sky is all for a formation, a formation that envelops the entire nomadic people, as for what this formation does, I don't need to say it, everyone can understand. Jiang Liyi said such a sentence sneeringly, and then looked at Huluodi with interest.

Huluodi's expression is very rich at the moment, what kind of expression is it? One moment it is very entangled, and the other moment it is very firm, and the two expressions are constantly circulating.

Jiang Liyi looked at all this coldly, slowly exhaled, and her eyes were no longer so indifferent. "Huluodi, why bother so much? Isn't it good to trust your intuition in your heart? Abandon the previous stereotype of people, seeing is not necessarily believing!"

When Huluodi heard this, his whole body trembled, as if he had realized something. "Seeing is not true, what a seeing is not true, how can I not think that I am always obsessed with how many things I have done for us nomads before the high priest, but I have forgotten one thing. Speaking of this, Huluodi paused, looked at Jiang Liyi and said, "Liyi, you may not even know about this matter." ”

Jiang Liyi also showed a curious look when she heard this, there were still things she didn't know about the nomads, and this thing she didn't know made her interested, so she stared at Huluodi intently.

Seeing Jiang Liyi's appearance, the haze in his heart due to the matter of the high priest was also swept away, "Actually, a very senior elder in my family called me to him before he died, and told me one thing, that is, when he was young, he had seen the face of the previous generation of priests, and the outline was very similar to that of this generation of priests. ”

Jiang Liyi asked puzzledly, "No, there seems to be some kind of unknowable power on the priest's face, and no one can see it clearly. Huluodi straightened up, looked into Jiang Liyi's eyes, and continued: "He said that he saw the previous generation of priests doing something at that time, and this is the reason why he saw his face. ”

"What's the matter?" Jiang Liyi felt that she was about to touch the crux of the matter, and what Huluodi said next might solve many of her doubts.

Huluodi didn't sell Guanzi again, but before he spoke, he seemed to remember something, so for the sake of safety, he still took out a thing, something that seemed to be a bead, as soon as this thing came out, Jiang Liyi felt that the air around her had become solidified, and she knew that this was a sign that the space had become stable. "What kind of artifact is this? It can stabilize the space?"

"This is the most precious thing I have ever received from the enemy in such a war, and I didn't know what it was when I first got it, but it was carried by the man and he didn't even want to let go when he died. So I looked through a lot of books, but I couldn't find anything. Finally, one day I found a description of this object in a folklore. ”

"There are stone beads in the north of the underworld, which are difficult for the wind to blow, and difficult for the sea to erode them. One day, the nine suns shine on it, the stone beads are born, the wind is surging, the water in the north rises nine zhang, there are nine thunders falling in the sky, and the wind rests for nine days. Because it is closely related to nine, and nine is the extreme number, so this thing is very spiritual, can fix the sea, fix the sky, cover the sky, and seize the creation of heaven and earth, so it is called the creation of the pearl. ”

"I couldn't believe it at first, but the legend described the appearance of this bead very clearly, and I believed that it was the legendary bead, but the actual effect was not as strong as the legend. It's just enough to prevent some people from prying eyes at the moment. The "certain people" in the phrase of Khuluodi are worth noting.

In the altar not far away, an old man who had always been hunched at the waist suddenly straightened up, and muttered softly: "Hey, what's the matter? How can there be a place to get out of my surveillance? Where is this?" The old man seemed to have a chessboard in his hand, and after he deduced, his eyes burst out with a fine light, just with his current momentum, he was not weaker than Huluodi at all, and even stronger than him, and the breath of twilight on his body had completely disappeared. He looked in the direction of Jiang Liyi's residence, "What? Did I find out? It seems that your desire to survive is very strong, but can you get out of my control? Since ancient times, people who struggle against fate have always died miserably!" After speaking, a sneer appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth. Then the grim momentum disappeared, and he once again changed back into the image of an old man who had no quarrel with the world.
