Chapter 683 Ancient frescoes
Seeing this, Xia Haoran finally understood why Mengshan had such confidence before.
Only by cracking this forbidden rune on the stone wall can we reach the true ancestral land where the 'holy water' is sealed. But it's a pity that except for Xia Haoran in this world now, there is really no one who is familiar with this kind of formation talisman.
After a while, the group passed through the crack in the stone and successfully reached the dark cave at the end of the passage. Along the way, there were no dangerous mechanisms in the passage, after all, this was their ancestral land, not a burial place, and they needed to be on guard against tomb robbers at all times.
For ordinary people, this stone crack is not something that ordinary people can find, not to mention, this is still a forbidden place in the ancient village, guarded and guarded by thousands of people in the ethnic group, it is impossible for outsiders to find here, let alone come in.
Xia Haoran casually pinched a spell and cast a lighting spell, and suddenly, the huge karst cave was bright. In fact, this is just to take care of Meng Shan and the others around him, otherwise for Xia Haoran, this little darkness in front of him will not have any effect on him at all.
The so-called caster was unintentional and the bystanders were intentional, but Xia Haoran's inadvertent move made the faces of the few people in Mengshan next to him change dramatically in an instant, with a ghostly expression.
There is shock, there is envy, there is respect, but more than that, there is awe!
"The predecessors are really gods!"
After a long time, Meng Shan, who came back to his senses, bowed to Xia Haoran again and said respectfully.
Xia Haoran waved his hand and said with a smile: "What's polite, this is just a small spell technique that can't be put on the table." All laws have the same origin, whether it is cultivating witchcraft or other mental methods, as long as you cultivate with your heart, you can easily do this when you reach a certain realm. ”
"Yes, thank you for the teachings of your predecessors!" Mengshan replied seriously.
Xia Haoran nodded slightly, but his gaze always stayed on the stone wall on the left side of the cave, to be precise, it was locked on the dense and peculiar formation runes.
Xia Haoran has now successfully cultivated the "Formation Solution" to the seventh peak, and is about to enter the eighth realm, his formation level may not be comparable to those formation great masters, but it is more than enough to understand the simple formation pattern in front of him.
"The bloodline array is connected to the natal and bloodline, and it is against the sky. And every time it is turned on, it will reduce the life of the arrayer, and the life burns extremely fast. ”
Xia Haoran glanced back at Mengshan and the others, and said lightly: "It seems that your ancestor is not a simple character! In order to leave a trace of hope and blessing for future generations, he is willing to sacrifice himself to fulfill you. ”
Ignoring the stunned looks of Meng Shan and the others around him, Xia Haoran continued: "With the passage of time, the person who set up the formation at the beginning has long since passed away. If I'm not mistaken, every time you juniors open the ancestral land, you need to cast rune patterns with the blood of your clansmen, yes or no?"
Actually, Xia Haoran didn't finish his words.
He flipped through the inheritance memories in his mind and learned that the rune pattern carved on the stone wall in front of him was indeed an extremely rare bloodline array. Moreover, the bloodline array does not have any way to crack it, it can only use the blood of the descendants of the clan to cast the formation eye and use the bloodline power to stimulate it.
As for outsiders, even Xia Haoran now has the realm of the peak of the early Yuan Infant, it is impossible to break it with his strength. After all, the only way to crack this kind of great array is bloodline.
In addition, in the cultivation realm, this bloodline formation is not only extremely rare, but it is also a very evil formation!
The reason why it is called evil is because in order to successfully arrange the bloodline array, a large amount of clansmen's essence blood is needed to refine the formation eye.
Even in the cultivation realm, it is rare for a family to sacrifice so many clansmen at one time to arrange the bloodline array, unless the family is really alive and dead, in order to give future generations a chance to make a comeback in the future, the bloodline array will be arranged to protect the important resources of the family!
Yes, wherever there is a bloodline array, there will definitely be a shocking treasure, also known as the clan treasure!
Seriously!
Even Xia Haoran never thought that the kind of bloodline array, which only existed in legends in the cultivation realm, would be encountered by him in this otherworldly continent.
However, he soon calmed down. There are countless strange things in the world, not to mention that the bloodline array is not only for cultivators.
"I didn't expect Senior Xia to have a dabbling in the way of formation. Meng Shan walked directly to the stone wall on the left side of the cave, and then bit his index finger and sprinkled a drop of blood on the pattern accurately.
Under the gaze of Xia Haoran and the others, which drop of blood was absorbed by the rune pattern on the stone wall at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Buzz!"
As a deep blood light flashed, a deep, dark blood-colored rune pattern lit up.
Suddenly, a layer of illusory ripples suddenly appeared on the stone wall. As the brightness of the blood-colored rune pattern grew, the illusory ripples on the stone wall became more intense.
In the blink of an eye, those ripples and ripples evolved into a deep and strange whirlpool, quickly distorting the entire stone wall on the left side of the cave.
After a few breaths, a deep portal with a hint of quaint, desolate, and rough aura emerged from the whirlpool out of thin air. There is no frills on this portal, just an ancient, vicissitudes, and rough mottled by time......
Seeing this scene, Meng Shan turned around and said to Xia Haoran: "Senior, inside this portal, is where the true ancestral land of our clan is!"
Xia Haoran nodded lightly, and said with emotion: "It seems that the ancestor of the nobles must be a great existence. Otherwise, it would be impossible to leave you such a secret and forbidden ancestral land with a special bloodline array. ”
Although Xia Haoran knew the rune pattern on the stone wall, this strange bloodline forbidden method could not be opened except by using the introduction of bloodline, and he couldn't find any other way at all.
As for brute force attacks, it's even more unlikely. Because this curse-like evil array, if it is not activated by the power of the blood of the juniors, it will automatically explode with brute force cracking.
Hearing Xia Haoran's emotion, Meng Shan said with a bitter face: "What the predecessors said is right, the origin of our ancestors is indeed not small! It's just that over the years, with the lack of ethnic inheritance exercises and the changes in the environment of the end of the Dharma era, our juniors are not as good as the next generation. ”
"Uh......"
Xia Haoran was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look at Mengshan a few more times. After all, there is such an ancestral land, how can there be a lack of inheritance?
However, Meng Shan, who was beside him, did not explain, but said, "Senior, let's go in." Otherwise, the portal will be closed and it will have to be reopened. ”
"Good!"
Xia Haoran answered, and followed Meng Shan and the others into the portal one after another. At the same time, his divine sense crept out, and in an instant, he could see the situation behind the portal......
At this time, what appeared in front of Xia Haoran was a huge cave that was wide and full of glittering stalactites!
There is nothing unusual in the belly of the mountain, except for the glittering stalactites, that is, the stone walls around the cave are carved with very old frescoes. And judging from the scenes depicted on those murals, it seems that it is still in the primitive tribal period.
Most of the murals depict scenes of battle, including battles with people and battles with various huge monsters or monsters.
And the size of the people in the mural is also extraordinarily huge, almost like a giant in the sky. Their bodies are covered with rough animal skins, and their muscles are strong and strong, and they look like rocks full of beauty, giving people a rough, wild, and primitive atmosphere......
Could it be that these supernatural giants are the people of the Wu clan that Mengshan said before?
Xia Haoran used his divine sense to look at these pictures on the stone walls around the cave. These are old frescoes from an unknown number of years ago, and it is difficult to determine how authentic the scenes depicted in them are, and how much of them are exaggerated.
But what is certain is that, judging from the information revealed by these ancient murals, the origin and inheritance of this ancient village in Western Xinjiang are absolutely extraordinary!
In addition to those frescoes, there is a pool in the center of the cave. The pool is neither large nor small, it looks like it was built artificially, but it seems to be natural, and the blisters in the pool sometimes bubble up, indicating that there is a flow of living water.
Such a pool, whether it is built artificially or naturally, does not matter, it seems that it is just an ordinary pool that can no longer be ordinary.
Xia Haoran stared at this ordinary-looking pool for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch violently.
Damn!
Could it be that this is the 'holy water' in the mouths of Mengshan and others?
Originally, Xia Haoran was very disdainful of the idea of 'holy water', perhaps it was subconsciously not cutting the Western religious culture on the earth. Now when he saw the pool in front of him with his own eyes, he couldn't help but scold in his heart, MMP, it's terrible to be uneducated......
In fact, where is the 'holy water' in this pool, but it is just a rather expensive and rare spiritual spring in the cultivation realm. Judging from the density and the aura emitted, it was almost not much different from the spiritual spring that Xia Haoran found in the "cave" in Xiaobai's hometown.
Meng Shan and the others next to him didn't notice the change in Xia Haoran's expression, and said, "Senior Xia, this is our ancestral land. And in this pool in front of us is where the 'holy water' of our people is located. ”
"That's why I didn't explain it to my seniors when I was out there just now. After a slight pause, Meng Shan continued: "Although the ancestral land of our clan is well preserved, there are no relevant documents and other things in it, and what is in the ancestral land is only what we see at the moment. ”
"The cultivation methods of our clan have been passed down orally from generation to generation. In this way, it is inevitable that some accidents and uncontrollable phenomena will occur. To this day, almost all of our clansmen's cultivation is crossing the river by feeling the stones, because we no longer have a heritage!"
