Chapter 271: Shu Dragon Vein (II)
In the middle of the moon, darkness descends.
A raging fire burned in the huge pit, and an old man with a high nose and deep eyes, dressed in a black linen robe, like a priest of the Shu Kingdom, opened his arms and raised his head to the sky and made a burst of murmuring sounds, as if he was chanting an ancient and obscure incantation.
In his hand, there was a glittering golden scepter that caught the attention of Yang Qiao and Liu Xiaofeng.
This golden scepter is almost identical to the golden scepter excavated in the Sanxingdui ruins, and also has the runes of birds and fish.
The golden scepter pointed to the sky, as if to say that the priest had the will of heaven and had supreme supernatural powers.
Under his instructions, a group of Shu people shouted a low trumpet and threw batches of huge ivory into the fire pit and burned it.
The air was filled with the smell of burnt organic matter, and black smoke billowed and filled the air.
"What are they doing?"
"I guess it's a ritual to worship the gods. Yang Qiao guessed.
"However, Shu is inland, and there are actually ivory ......," Liu Xiaoyu said in disbelief.
Ma Xiaoling said at this time: "The commerce of the ancient Shu country is very developed, at this time the Himalayas are not so high, and the ancient India side can trade, it is said that the ancient Shu country is very developed in commerce, and many shells from the Indian Ocean have been unearthed at the site. ”
At this point, everyone paused and held their breath.
They saw that with the shout of the high priest, a group of ancient Shu people shouted a blood-pumping trumpet and carried a huge bronze artifact over.
Is that......
Bronze Sacred Tree!
Everyone's gaze, everyone's spirit seemed to be firmly absorbed by all the bronze divine trees, and even the soul lost the ability to think.
They are witnessing the miracle of the tree thousands of years ago, and witnessing the large-scale sacrifice of the bronze sacred tree when it was born.
The newly born bronze divine tree was far more complete, more brilliant, and more full of divine power than what Yang Qiao had seen in the Sanxingdui underground palace.
Porphyry~
Those Shu people who carried the tree had bulging muscles, shouted slogans, and slowly walked into the sacrificial fire pit with uniform movements carrying the bronze sacred tree.
Yang Qiao and Ma Xiaoling's eyes were straight.
There's still a fire burning in that pit!
But as if they had the protection of the gods, they ignored the burning of the soles of their feet, and carried the bronze sacred tree like that, and placed it heavily in the middle of the sacrificial fire pit.
The previous tusks were erected around the bronze sacred tree, and because they were burned by the flames, they showed different degrees of cracks on them.
The scene is mysterious and eerie.
Yang Qiao suddenly thought that this method of burning ivory to crack it was a bit similar to burning tortoise shells in the Central Plains culture to divinate good fortune and evil, which belonged to the ancient Chinese witch culture.
All of this was seen by the Bronze Divine Tree with his group, and it belonged to the "fragment of time" in the past, and Yang Qiao thought that all this was not accidental.
Liu Bowen left a feng shui array in Putuo Mountain, and left a message for him to come to the ancient Shu Kingdom to find the dragon vein, which may also be related to awakening the sleeping soul of Master Lu Weijiu, but now he can't figure it out at all, what is the connection between these ancient things and Lu Weijiu and the dragon vein?
Those ancient Shu people placed the bronze sacred tree, and retreated from the sacrificial pit with sweat and rain.
Another shirtless Gu Shu national waffler stood up.
He was holding a bronze ancient sword in both hands, which was given by Zhou Tianzi Ji Fa. The wrestler walked respectfully to the foot of the bronze sacred tree.
Because of the heat of the flame, the heat wave rises, and the whole picture seems a little distorted.
He held the sword in one hand, and touched the bronze god tree with the other, only a soft sound of "swish" was heard in his ears, and the skin and muscles on his hand were instantly scorched by the hot bronze god tree, and there was a burst of burnt meat in the air.
Seeing this scene, Ma Xiaoling could barely calm down, Gu Qingmei and Liu Xiaoyue felt a burst of nausea in their mouths, and they almost didn't spit it out.
The rest of the people, Liu Xiaoyu and Liu Xiaofeng's faces were not good-looking, only Yang Qiao was still staring at the person's movements, as if thinking about something.
The ancient Shu national warrior who was stroking the bronze divine tree in his left hand and holding the bronze divine sword in his right hand shouted a language like a witch spell in his mouth, fast and urgent, and then stabbed the bronze sword in his right hand towards the bronze divine tree.
Yang Qiao's eyes widened, and Ma Xiaoling's exclamations were faintly heard around him, but he couldn't care about it, and all his attention was attracted by Na Lishi's movements.
A strange thing happened, after the bronze ancient sword was pierced into the Divine Tree, the sword body "dissolved" into the Bronze Divine Tree like water, and the entire sword slowly deepened, and finally disappeared completely.
This is......
The black-clothed priest raised his hands and shouted loudly, and all the ancient Shu people on the scene knelt down collectively, folded their hands in front of their chests, and chanted the ancient incantation with the priest.
The wrestler standing under the bronze sacred tree shouted, spread his hands, and hugged the sacred tree tightly.
Huh~!
The bronze god tree's chrome was billowing black smoke, and the stench of burnt organic matter expanded as the flesh of the person shrank and burned.
This scene made Yang Qiao and Liu Xiaofeng feel that their scalps were numb for a while, and they couldn't say a word.
This is...... Do you make sacrifices with living people?
Yang Qiao even jumped out of his mind with a word - cannon branding punishment!
It must have been very painful for a normal person to be burned by a red-hot soldering iron, but the sacrificial wrestler not only did not let out a scream of pain, but on the contrary, his face showed a kind of pleasure.
The corners of his mouth grinned, and he grinned weirdly, and his body slowly burned into a char shape, lying on the bronze god tree.
As time progressed, eventually the entire body was burned into charcoal and collapsed, and countless blood-red strange runes suddenly appeared on the bronze god tree, which were extremely ancient, strange and obscure.
All the people of the ancient Shu kingdom fell into a kind of frenzy, and they slapped their chests vigorously, and let out a cry like a beast to the sky.
Led by the high priest, they went to the sacrificial pit, slit their wrists, and spilled their own blood.
Dark red blood water slashed a blood-colored rune array around the sacrificial pit, and the entire heaven and earth seemed to be alarmed by this mysterious sacrifice, and the vitality surged, and the heaven and earth changed.
The moon was dark and dark clouds were surging.
The next moment, only an earth-shattering long groan was heard, and the runes on the bronze god tree were connected with the surrounding blood-colored runes, forming a formation that belonged to ancient witchcraft.
The ground trembled slightly, as if something alive was about to break out of the ground.
Liu Xiaofeng's face changed slightly: "Yang Qiao, this is ......"
Rise~~
A dark yellow dragon slowly rose from the bronze sacred tree.
This is......
Shu Long!
These ancient Shu people are using this absurd and primitive witchcraft to summon the Shu dragon? Or are they gathering the ancient Shu dragon veins?
No one could answer the question in Yang Qiao's heart at the moment, in the deafening dragon groan, the mountains shook, the dragon chant echoed, the yellow dragon soared, the dragon scales trembled, and the dragon power spread.
All the pictures have been shattered since then, as if the shattered time has slowly bloomed and disappeared from the side.
Yang Qiao's gaze swept in front of him, and he found that the position he was in was like a deep and wide underground cave, with Liu Xiaofeng and Ma Xiaoling following him.
Everyone was silent for a long time, and finally Yang Qiao spoke first: "Everyone is okay, right?"
"It's okay, but what I saw earlier is so incredible that I still can't figure out a lot of things. Liu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly.
Gu Qingmei gently pulled the sun hat with her hand, covering her eyes in the shadow of the brim, as if to hide her shocked emotions.
"Whatever we saw before, it has nothing to do with us, let's continue to search and see if there are any clues left by Liu Bowen here. ”
"Nope. Yang Qiao shook his head and said, "It's not unrelated. I always feel that everything we see today, maybe Liu Bowen also came here more than 600 years ago, and also saw it, maybe he also wanted to convey some information to us in this way. ”
"What are you kidding?" Liu Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes on the side: "Are you saying that my ancestor Liu Bowen left a message here more than six hundred years ago, spanning more than six hundred years, and wants to pass the message to you?"
The expression on his face was completely disbelieving, and he even almost shouted the word "ridiculous".
Although he is a descendant of Liu Bowen, he thinks what Yang Qiao said is too bizarre and can't believe it at all.
"History has covered up too many truths, the ancients are far smarter than we think, what is the truth, who can say clearly?"
Yang Qiao didn't want to continue the discussion on this issue.
All he was thinking about now was one thing, if what he saw just now was true, the people of the ancient Shu Kingdom used the bronze sword given by Ji Fa to perform a sacrifice together with the bronze god tree, and summoned a Xuanhuang true dragon, then where is this dragon vein now?
Will it still sleep somewhere in Sanxingdui?
When Liu Bowen came here, did he take away this dragon vein?
The message he left on Putuo Mountain allowed him to find Sanxingdui, what is the purpose?
……
At the same time, thousands of miles away in Changsha, Hunan, Mawangdui.
Xin chases the grave.
Since the last time Yang Qiao, the Qingtian Liu family, and the people from the Six Sects of the Xuanmen came here, it has returned to calm.
No one knew that in the ice crystal cave under the coffin of the main tomb of Xin Chai, another group of visitors came at some point.
On the altar in the deepest part of the Ice Crystal Hall, Wang Ting's right hand gently stroked the stone platform, and his face changed uncertainly.
Ghost-eyed Wang Yan was beside him, and said with a grim face: "Have you thought about it? Do you really want to release him? As soon as this character breaks the seal, what will it be...... The world is in chaos. ”
The "ghosts and gods" who have always been not afraid of heaven and earth, their faces are unprecedentedly solemn at this moment, as if they don't even dare to mention that person's name.
A ghostly smile appeared on Wang Ting's face: "Why should the eldest brother care so much, letting him wake up from his slumber is only good for our Wang family, strictly speaking, this is also our elder, not to mention ......"
What's more, what's the harm to him in the chaos of the world?
Wang Ting is a crazy monk who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
His gaze shifted from the altar to the other side, where he faintly saw several black figures flashing.
……
At the same time, Japan was far away from the ocean.
Kyoto.
In the Shinto temple, seven priests wearing wide robes and large sleeves and high crowns on their heads, like ancient people, are kneeling on the ground, their hands are sealed, and their mouths are chanting sacrificial incantations.
Curling cyan smoke rose in the hall, and there were one or two bells and drums, which rang from time to time like evening drums and morning bells.
The sound of the bell is clear, and the aftersound does not dissipate for a long time.
After a long time, the ritual was completed, and the priest who knelt at the top of the knees clasped his hands on his lower abdomen and opened his eyes slightly.
A man in a black suit, as if to melt into the darkness, crouched in front of him.
"See the priest. ”
"No need to be polite, let's talk about the situation. ”
"Hello. ”
The black-clad ninja lowered his head deeply.
