The epitome of the sand table of the territory shows the scene of the land controlled by the entire Great Xia, and the black gas is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, attached to it, all indicating that there is a strange appearance.

At this moment, Xia Tuo could even perceive the sound of evil ghosts roaring, fierce beasts roaring, and lonely souls crying in the black qi, as if the terrifying evil qi in the world had gathered together.

"What's going on?" Xia Tuo frowned and asked.

"It's a sign of instability. Woo Woo was not confused this time, and said: "On the land under our control, some beast tides, ghosts, and ghosts have appeared.

These things hit the people's dwellings, burned, killed and looted, and fed on people, and the tribesmen killed by them, before they died, did not disperse their minds and gathered together, which played a role in revealing the clan's fortune. ”

As soon as he said this, Xia Tuo's eyes fell on the sand table again, and there were really a lot of places where the black qi appeared.

The black qi of the black fighting has evolved into an evil shadow, and there are no less than dozens of such places, and there are as many as two hundred places where the black qi is like a cloud, and there are thousands of places where the black qi manifests.

In other words, this turmoil swept across the entire territory of Great Xia.

The mind shuttled on the sand table phantom, and finally Xia Tuo released a thought, and submerged towards one of the very shallow black qi, and then the purple qi around was also attracted and went towards the black qi.

At this moment, the point where the black gas on the sand table converged gradually began to magnify, manifesting the scene of the mountains and ancient forests, with stone houses and figures standing among the mountains and forests.

......

Stone Bridge Settlement.

This is a small settlement in the western part of the Great Xia West Frontier Road, and the entire settlement has no more than 800 people.

There is a small river in the north-south direction in the middle of the stone bridge settlement, the river takes the boulder as the bridge, there is a stone hall ten zhang high standing next to the stone bridge, there are stone pillars standing outside the hall, it is the most majestic and important place of the whole stone bridge settlement.

Martial Palace.

There are more than a dozen stone tablets in the hall, which depict some martial arts of cultivation, which is the most precious thing in the whole settlement, whenever there are young people in the settlement who come out and enter the city martial arts academy two thousand miles away to practice, they can choose a martial arts practice here.

Today, the Stone Bridge settlement is very quiet, it should be noon, the dark clouds cover the sun among the mountains, and the leaves are rustling with cold air.

In the martial hall, the beast fire was beating, the white-haired Shiqiao Village clan elder sighed, and there were five middle-aged men behind him, all of whom were surrounded by scorching blood, and the strongest one had already entered the level of the mountain opening realm.

Their group of people is the strongest people in the Stone Bridge Settlement, they usually go out hunting in their spare time, and they are also the guardians of the settlement, but at this moment, all of them have a thick sadness on their faces.

"It's a ghost night today, Shi Hu, Shi Que went to Maruyama Town to ask for help, is there no news?"

Shi Hu, who was the strongest, also sighed, and said quietly: "I'm afraid that there will be less luck, I tried to rush out of Shihe Mountain, and the mountain has already been surrounded by yin qi and can't go out." ”

"Let everyone gather in the houses around the martial hall, and the dolls will come to the hall and gather the food, animal oil, and firewood from house to house.

Shi Hu: You gather all the young and strong people in the settlement and divide them into two parts, one part of the felling wood is piled up in the center of the settlement to light a bonfire, and the other part acts as a guard. ”

The clan elder commanded worriedly, and then said slightly: "In addition, Shi He, you personally followed Shi Yan to protect him, and I knew that the old man should have sent him to the Xishan City Martial Arts Academy." ”

Soon, several people in the martial hall began to get busy, and they agreed with the words of the clan elder.

This is the only witch cultivator in their Stone Bridge Settlement now, who has cultivated to the advanced level of witches, and also understands some pharmacology, can grow spiritual rice, and knows some simple herb cultivation.

Soon, there was a commotion in the Shiqiao settlement, and the people from house to house were shouted out, and the women hurried towards the center of the settlement with their babies in their arms and their babies.

In the past two years, Shiheshan doesn't know what's wrong, the ghosts are overflowing, and more than 20 clansmen have been killed by the ghosts, especially the ghost night in the middle of each month, and the ghosts are whistling in the mountains and forests, sweeping the entire settlement.

Ghost Night, is their own name, referring to the day of every month when the yin qi is the heaviest, Guiyue will be hidden in the dark, and that time is when the yin spirit is most rampant.

In this case, Xishan City also knows that over the years, a large number of people have been sent to encircle and suppress the mountains and forests, but for some reason, the number of ghosts has suddenly increased a lot in the past three months.

Xishan City, as an inferior city under the command of the Western Frontier Road of Great Xia, ruled over hundreds of settlements, and it was simply beyond its strength to take care of everything.

The women and dolls of the Shiqiao settlement soon gathered in the houses in the center of the settlement, which were next to the martial halls, and were the fort houses that the clan elders had temporarily decided to build after the ghosts of the past three months.

The young men looked solemn one by one, this time the yin qi floating outside the settlement was far stronger than any time they had ever seen, they cut down the big trees at the edge of the settlement and piled them up directly in the center of the settlement, ready to light a bonfire to dispel the cold.

Not only that, but there are also some people, at several exits into the settlement, there are also bird eggs, animal meat, spiritual rice, animal oil, animal blood pills and other items.

It is dedicated to ghosts, and in the face of the fear of the unknown, people instinctively want to pray for their forgiveness.

Busy outside, the patriarch in the martial hall, his face is getting more and more ugly, the farthest distance in his life is to Xishan City.

Although he has the talent to cultivate witches, he can only practice with a master in the Qianlong Palace, and later after practicing to the inferior witches, he felt that he was not the material for cultivating witches, so he went to the witch hospital to study medicine, and returned to the settlement near old age.

In the blink of an eye, the ghost night came, and the sunlight seemed to dissipate faster than usual, and the cold began to fill the entire mountain forest, dark clouds obscured Guiyue, and the whole world became dark.

The newly built fort house in the center of the settlement is connected to the martial hall by a stone road, and there are already more than 30 dolls and five women taking care of the babies in the martial hall at this moment.

The young and strong people in the settlement stood apart, protecting the women and children in the center.

In the martial hall, the beast fire jumped, but the aura outside the hall became more and more weird, and in the dark void, there were many more things.

Airplanes!

The beast fire began to sway violently, but the hall could not feel the wind at all, and there seemed to be a lot of footsteps in the settlement that should have been silent, as if there were hundreds of people running around the settlement, and some murmuring words could be faintly heard.

Faintly, through the gap in the window, you can see that there are people outside, men, women and children, and there are some strange shapes.

The woman clutched her baby, or her own mouth, her eyes closed, her brows furrowed, but no matter how much she suppressed, she could not control the rise and fall of her chest.

Click~

Soon, there was another sound of biting and swallowing outside, and the tributes placed in various parts of the settlement began to be bitten by ghosts, and the act of making offerings was also the experience accumulated in the past two years.

In the past, tributes were placed in the settlement, and after the ghosts ate the tribute, they would soon leave the settlement, but the last two months have been very different.

In the middle of the night, when the yin qi between heaven and earth was the thickest, even the martial artists in the hall would spit out long white smoke when they exhaled, but they didn't dare to make the slightest movement.

The women and children were tightly wrapped in animal skins, still unable to prevent the cold air coming from all directions, and the lingering sound of biting in their ears was unforgettable.

"Clan Elder ~ Clan Elder ~ Open the door, I'm Shi Finch, I've come back from Maruyama Town. ”

Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the stone door outside the martial hall, a familiar voice, with anxiety and fear, which made everyone's hearts tremble.

Shi Hu was stunned, then pressed Shi Li, who was about to open the door, and shook his head.

As time goes by, the ghost night becomes more and more terrifying, and the ghost's methods become more and more unguardable, which is why the clan elder wants to gather all the clansmen together, if they are scattered all over the settlement, I don't know how many clansmen will be fooled just by the ghost knocking on the door.

Once the door is opened, you can imagine facing these ghosts.

"Clan Elder ~ Brother Shi Hu, save me!

At this moment, the cry of the stone finch became more and more urgent, accompanied by the sound of biting and swallowing, which made the women and children a little broken.

Boom~

In the crack of the stone gate, a black liquid flowed over, exuding a strong bloody aura.

Seeing this scene, the patriarch spoke: "Light the fire." ”

Hearing the sound, Shi Hu took out the flint and lit a groove under his feet, which contained pre-filled animal oil, which was directly connected to the firewood piled up in the square outside the martial hall.

The ignition of the flame illuminated the night in an instant, and in the firelight, the phantoms with teeth and claws, their eyes revealing hideousness, burned out in the flames, but these ghosts were too many, and the flames could only block them for a while.

"Clan Elder~"

In the martial hall, Shi Hu looked at the clan elder, and he had no idea in his heart, so he could only ask for help from the most knowledgeable clan elder at the moment.

"If the stone lance had returned, these goddamn ghosts would have been destroyed long ago. ”

Next to him, Shi Ge scolded hatefully, Shi Lance is the most powerful martial artist in their Stone Bridge Settlement, who has gone out, has cultivated to the Divine Hiding Realm, and is now appointed to an important position in the Western Frontier Dao.

"What to do~"

The clan elder was holding a wooden cane, his back was drenched in cold sweat, things had reached such a point, he had no idea, but he could only hold on like this, once he couldn't hold on, the settlement would be over, and the women and children would not be able to escape the slaughter of the ghosts.

At this moment, the ghosts began to attack the martial hall and the castle house, for these yin qi undead, the vigorous flesh and blood vitality in the human body was as dazzling as the lights in the night, and it was their nourishment.

......

Ghosts are full of ghosts, thousands of ghosts roaring in the mountains and forests, hunting terrans for food, this scene Xia Tuo has seen, in the past few hundred years in the border wilderness, I don't know how many times.

Far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, the scene of the stone bridge settlement was in front of Xia Tuo's eyes, this scene was familiar to him, and it was like this when the ghost clan appeared in the border wasteland.

Knowing this moment, Xia Tuo suddenly found that he had overlooked a problem, that is, after collecting all the totems in the clan court, he controlled the martial arts in the hands of the clan court, but also ignored the protection of the lowest level of the clansmen.

For small tribes, the totem sacrifice also represents the last guardian of the tribe.

Now, the system of Great Xia has stripped away this last line of protection.

"I remember you said at the beginning that the Innate Totem Lord can incarnate into thousands of people and control the tribal totems of the feudal clans, can he send his thoughts to all parts of the territory?"

After pondering for a moment, Xia Tuo looked at the woo and asked.

"Theoretically, it is possible, the movement of the Great Xia people is composed of the people and the land, and the convergence of the ideas of the people of a certain place among the people of the Great Xia tribe shows that there is a link between them. ”

Woo nodded solemnly, and then said, "I vaguely remember that this is it. ”

Okay, just try it.

Xia Tuo raised his head slightly, slowed down his emotions, and his eyes fell on the black qi manifested by the stone bridge settlement again, and in the purple realm of the clan movement, the floating purple clouds emitted a brilliant purple light, gathering on his body like flowing water.

Hit!

Then, Xia Tuo stretched out his hand and pressed it on the black gas, and in an instant, the purple qi collided with the black gas on the sand table, exploding like a blazing oil cooking, emitting a piercing scream.

......

Stone Bridge Settlement.

At night, ghosts and ghosts are in the sky, and a dazzling purple light suddenly appears in the night sky, like a purple sun in the sky, illuminating the entire mountain forest, illuminating the corners and corners of the mountains and forests.

For a time, all the ghosts and ghosts were hidden, and the appearance of demons and monsters was manifested.

Airplanes!

The purple light appeared, alarming everyone in the stone bridge settlement, and at this moment, time seemed to freeze frame, and the bodies of ghosts and ghosts were waiting for them, followed by the purple light, like rain and snow melting, disappearing without a trace.

In the blink of an eye, all the ghost roaring mountains and forests seemed to have never appeared, and the mountains and fields seemed to be soothed by an invisible hand.

The purple sun hung high in the sky, and a hazy figure appeared in the purple sun, filled with a faint cyan halo, overlooking the four directions.

......

This scene made the clansmen of the Shiqiao settlement not react for a long time, it was like a dream.

The aura emanating from the purple sun in the sky made them feel a warm, instinctive feeling of intimacy.

"Clan Elder, which adult is this~"

The clansmen who walked out of the martial hall and the castle house, no one greeted them, and they knelt down in a large area, their eyes were full of purple light, but it was a pity that no matter how they opened their eyes, they couldn't see the hazy figure in the purple sun clearly, but there was a familiar feeling.

It wasn't until the purple sun disappeared and the cold in the mountains and forests was not there that everyone was stunned and didn't know what they were thinking.

......

Rumble!

Jiuling Dao inferior Yangshan City Tiehu Town, the ghost night was also attacked by ghosts, and the dazzling purple qi suddenly appeared, baptizing the mountains and wilderness within a radius of five hundred miles, and wiped out all the gloomy ghost qi in the sky.

......

This night, destined to be unpeaceful, Xia Tuo Yuan Shen controlled the purple qi, and shot five times in succession, annihilating five places on the territory that were eroded by the Yin Spirit, until the Yuan Shen was exhausted, he could not stop.

Heavenly Furnace Mountain.

Xia Tuo, who had returned to the original body, had grateful voices echoing in his ears, and these voices were buzzing, coming from between nothingness, old and young.

The purple qi on the Heavenly Furnace Mountain also submerged into his body, surrounding the Yuan Shen, and blending with the golden body of qi luck merit.

The cultivation of the golden body of luck and merit is very slow, he has used many means to feed so many people over the years, and he can only be able to practice to the first step, although the entry is slow at this moment, it is a real progress.

It's weird.

He harnessed the fortune of the Great Xia clan to save his people, why did he come to the blessing of luck, and what is the relationship between his own merit and luck and the tribe's luck?

Controlling the purple qi is very mentally draining, if the original spirit is exhausted and does not take the relevant elixir, it will take a while to recuperate, although there are doubts in the heart, but recuperating the mind is the most important thing at the moment.

Three days later, Xia Tuo woke up again in silence, this time with an old voice in his ears.

"The stone bridge settlement kowtows, and the statue of the god is planted for the adults, and I thank the adults for protecting my settlement. ”

At this moment, Xia Tuo found that his thoughts had crossed a long distance and appeared in a stone hall, and his thoughts were attached to a stone statue.

Become a totem yourself?

Then, he was stunned.

Here's what's going on.

The power of faith?

The power of the totem?

The stone statue stands in the martial arts hall in the center of the stone bridge settlement, and the martial monument is moved to both sides, the stone hall is nine zhang high, carving out a figure standing with a negative hand, and the facial features are very blurred.

At this moment, under the stone statue, the clan elder and the young and strong people in the clan are worshipping, full of three animal sacrifices, melons and fruits.

After a closer look, Xia Tuo confirmed this fact.

Himself was hung up.

But it feels good.

His golden body of luck merit seems to be very good.

The point is that if this is the case, wouldn't it be said that he became a totem, and he collected the totems in the territory by himself, and then he was offered.

But think about it, it's also the same reason, in the previous life, the blessed immortals were gods, all of them had temples, enjoyed the incense of mortal dust, and when they appeared, they were accompanied by Qingyun, which represented great merit and unparalleled virtue.

I have become a totem, so what is the need for the original totem to exist?

Besides, even if it's an offering, it should be offered.

This sudden scene made Xia Tuo a little dizzy.

......

Tianlu Mountain.

"You negative man, Ben Wu gathers the tribe for you, gathers luck for you, I didn't expect you to rob me of my job, you unload the mill and kill Woo Woo, no, you will kill Woo Woo before you unload the mill. ”

Woo stared at the small purple eyes, looking at Xia Tuo, there was also surprise in his eyes.

I'm a totem!

I'm a totem!

I~ great sentence mang, is the totem!

Ahhhh

Although most of the time, I am a little unreliable, but I don't have credit and haven't worked hard?

Boom~

gave Woo Woo a brain meltdown and bounced it away, and Xia Tuo was also very puzzled.

He didn't know why it was like that.

According to what Wu Wu said, the royal court was established by the totem lord to entitle the Hou Bo in various places, and the totem lord controlled the totem of the Hou Bo clan.

For this reason, Daxia scraped up the totems of all the tribes under his command, let Wu Wu baptize with the innate true spirit rank, and distributed all the totems to the territory to each city after controlling them, so as to ensure the affinity of the people.

There are traces of this step to follow, which step was done wrong?

How did he get offered?

I can't figure it out, Xia Tuo can only find someone who understands, the drum spirit of Lu Wu Shenjiao, this guy came from the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and he should know some things clearly.

took out the Lu Wu prison card, and Xia Tuo disappeared into Tianlu Mountain.

Lu Wu Shen Prison.

In the palace hall, the drum spirit crawled out of the stone drum, stared at Xia Tuo, and didn't speak like this.

"Ahem~"

After more than ten breaths, Xia Tuo coughed lightly and said, "Senior Guling, I don't know what happened when I came down, so I came here to ask." ”

"Hiss~"

"Hiss~"

However, the corners of Gu Ling's mouth twitched, tilting his head and constantly looking Xia Tuo up and down, and when Xia Tuo was impatient, he finally spoke: "What senior, who is your senior, people are still young, I didn't see that they were still wearing children's braids, call me Lord Gu Ling." ”

Hearing this, Xia Tuo rolled his eyes, he didn't necessarily live well for a long time, and it was easy for schizophrenia to become abnormal.

For people with schizophrenia, you have to get used to it.

"Okay, Drum Spirit Senior. ”

At this moment, Gu Ling didn't pay attention to Xia Tuo's title, but said, "You're angry with me!"

"You, you, you~ You are simply rotten wood that cannot be carved.

You~~You're simply~ I'm so angry.

The dignified Lu Wu Shen Prison ~ Uh~ The only prison guard, you~ You actually did bad things again.

I'm sorry for Emperor Gaotao.

I don't know anyone, you, you~ You take a knife and kill me.

Thousands of years of wisdom are ruined.

You're going to be so bad, you're going to end up in jail sooner or later.

I'm going to put that down now, if you're killing people and setting fire to bad things, you'll be in jail sooner or later, and if you don't, I'll kick you with this drum." ”

Gu Ling's words made Xia Tuo stunned, he has not harmed anyone in the past few decades, think about it, when he went to Huben Mountain to steal beams and change pillars, he transferred the crisis to the two gentlemen on the way back.

It can also be seen that this stone drum is really divine.

After stumbling for a while, the drum spirit sat on the drum surface and asked angrily, "What's the matter, if you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

Xia Tuo didn't regard himself as an outsider, he sat directly in the hall and said, "Here's the thing, the luck in the clan suddenly turned into a cloud. ”

"Ang~"

The drum spirit nodded and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Hmm~"

Hearing the sound, Xia Tuo was stunned, listening to the meaning of Gu Ling's words?

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, he spoke again: "Recently, there have been a lot of ghosts in the territory of the clan, so I mobilized my luck to suppress ......"

In this way, Xia Tuo told the matter, at first the drum spirit was nothing, but later he became more and more surprised, and finally his little hand pressed directly on his forehead.

"Oh my God~"

Gu Ling looked incredulous, and began to look Xia Tuo up and down again, shaking his head and frowning.

"How is that possible!"

"How is this possible. ”

"Three emperors and five emperors, virtue is world-shattering, thousands of gods, sheltering the people of the great wilderness, boundless merit, you ~ you ......"

The drum spirit shook his head, looking like he had lost his cognition.

"You kill people and set fires, destroy the tribe, slaughter living beings, carry bad luck, you do all kinds of evil, you ~ you ...... This drum spirit makes your anger hurt. ”

After sighing for about half a pillar of incense, the drum spirit finally came back to his senses, and he was a little doubtful of his cognition.

A long time ago, the luck gathered by the human race was in the shape of clouds, which was called the luck of Qingyun, and the Qingyun was bright, like a canopy.

Qingyun shows merit, and the tribe has Qingyun on behalf of the tribe to have benevolence and righteousness, and to protect the Quartet, such a tribe naturally wants to join the Quartet.

At that time, because the heavens and the earth were no longer caring for the true spirits of the heavens and the earth, the true spirits of the heavens and the earth, who had survived, saw that the human race was prosperous, so they made a contract with the human race.

The human race inherits the martial arts with the help of the true spirit of heaven and earth, and increases its strength through self-cultivation, while the true spirit of heaven and earth cultivates with the help of the luck of the human race.

People have Qingyun plus body, the evolution of luck and merit golden body, indicating that both virtue and virtue, such a person walking on the earth is naturally respected by the clan, and the person with the most merit is the co-master of the human race.

The Three Emperors and Five Emperors are the top virtuous sages of the human race in every era, sheltering the entire Great Wilderness Human Race.

However, the Great Wilderness is vast, the human race is billions of trillions, living in the corners and corners, even if the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are on the great shore, they cannot always pay attention to every corner of the Great Wilderness.

Therefore, the agreement concluded between man and the innate true spirit played a role, and the various tribes of the human race carved the idol of the 'human emperor' and worshiped it in the tribe.

Whenever the tribe is in trouble and can't support it, you can beg the 'human emperor' to send down divine power and expel the evil spirits.

In the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Terrans had not yet formed the concept of the so-called 'Human Emperor' for their leaders, and the statues of the gods enshrined were also strange.

The great guardian of the human race, with thousands of divine thoughts, has countless appearances, sometimes the human emperor will appear in the form of a giant tree, and sometimes he will incarnate into the appearance of Kunpeng, Divine Tiger, Phoenix, True Dragon and other true spirits of heaven and earth.

The idols of the gods worshiped by the tribes are the prototype of the totem.

There is a very important secret involved in this, that is, the totem and the 'human emperor' statue, in fact, seem to appear at the same time, but they are dominated by the human race.

That is to say, the role of the totem is limited to teaching martial arts, and the spiritual support of the human race is the 'human emperor', not the totem of the innate true spirit, and the totem enshrined in the various ethnic groups is only the medium for the 'human emperor' to appear, and the role of inheriting martial arts is carried out.

According to the contract between the human race and the innate true spirit, when the supreme of the human race has cultivated to a certain level, he must mobilize the luck of the human race to feed back the true spirit of heaven and earth.

However, whether it was the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, or the later Human Emperors, when they cultivated to the pinnacle, they derived the golden body of qi luck and merit, and their own personality was equal to the true spirit of heaven and earth, but they found that the power was not enough to feed back the true spirit of heaven and earth.

......

"So the human emperor disappeared~"

In the palace, Xia Tuo said leisurely, this is his own speculation, the drum spirit has been dusty in a very early age, and the later things will naturally not be known again.

Combined with the reality in today's wilderness, the name of the 'Human Emperor' can only be found in some dusty classics, and the totem has become the patron saint of the human tribe.

From this, it can be deduced that the innate true spirit found that the contract could not be completed, so he did not hide it and went on the field in person.

This speculation was a little terrifying, and Xia Tuo was also a little afraid.

Shaking his head, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart, these were his guesses, according to what the drum spirit said, the true spirit of heaven and earth is not too much, after all, the human race did not help them in the world, so they could only roll up their sleeves and do it themselves.

I remember that when the previous generation of Jumang had not been completely extinguished, it was said that the innate totem had experienced a catastrophe in the Longhan era, and now even if it is the totem master of the Great Yin Royal Court in the wasteland, it may not be a real innate heel.

He still can't figure out what went wrong, but he can throw his mind into the territory to protect sentient beings, but he has figured out the cause and effect.

Is this a 'villain'?
