Chapter Twenty-Three: Ghost Dao and Divine Tribulation - Good and Evil in the Human Heart
In the ancient and mysterious southern wilderness, in the altar of the Wu clan that has been inherited for thousands of years, at this moment, in this deep and narrow entrance passage, tens of thousands of Wu people, men, women and children, are crowded in this passage, the moon bead eyes flicker, and the phantom of the god behind him is even more like a substance. In the altar, the temperature became even hotter, as if in a huge furnace, and the mountain rocks under his feet, bursts of hot temperature, made people even more untenable.
At this moment, in the altar, a sudden change occurred. The three huge stone pillars in the northeast, southeast, and southwest, together with the broken stone pillars in the northwest corner, suddenly shook violently, and the entire cave of the altar also shook. Suddenly, the witches in the altar were all unsteady and staggered. The whole cave, like a boat in the middle of the waves of the sea, was jolting and rocking. Moon Relic Pearl was anxious, and he didn't know what kind of monster was sealed under this thousand-year-old altar, but looking at the sudden rise in temperature at this moment, it was expected that this monster must have done it.
She bit her silver teeth secretly, and the white mangs skyrocketed, and the white mangs like training horses doubled in an instant. And at this moment, on the four huge stone pillars, a few red rays suddenly appeared, red rays rose from the bottom of the stone pillars, and gradually hovered on the stone pillars, more and more red rays, like spider webs, crossed and densely covered on the stone pillars. This scene is like the red light that appeared before the stone pillar in the northwest corner broke. As soon as the red mangs appeared, the swaying stone pillars gradually stabilized. It's just that everyone at the altar felt that the rocks under their feet seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.
And the red mangs on the stone pillar are not as disappearing as before, but more and more, more and more dense, and the red mangs are not as fine as the previous ones as thick as hair, getting thicker and thicker, and at this moment, at least as thick as ordinary people's thumbs. The red mangs hovered between the stone pillars, making a "bang" sound from time to time. After a while, I saw that on this stone pillar, the red light was dense. Suddenly, the red rays on the four stone pillars suddenly shone brightly, and the four red rays shot into the center of the altar and converged into a red dot. This red dot floated directly above the altar, and in a few breaths, eight more red rays were separated, and they shot at the shrine maiden on the eight stone pillars on the periphery of the altar.
The statue of the witch maiden cast on the eight stone pillars around the altar was hit by this red light, and the surface suddenly cracked, and in just a moment, the surface of the statue had completely cracked, revealing the true body that was as smooth as jade inside. The moon bead turned his head to look, only to see the eight witch goddess statues, at this moment the surface has been completely cracked, the sludge has faded, and what is revealed inside is all carved from fine white jade, the surface of the jade, faintly there are colorful streamers flashing, the moon bead heart was shocked, these jade statues, the spirit is compelling, and there is a vast and endless aura.
I saw that these eight white jade statues suddenly stood still, facing the center of the altar, their hands were folded, and in their white jade hands, a little red light lit up slightly, and then shot towards the center of the altar. I saw eight red rays, all concentrated in the center of the altar, and then the altar seemed to shake slightly, and a red net intertwined with red rays spread out to the surroundings with the altar as the center. As soon as the red net appeared, the altar began to stabilize a lot, and it no longer swayed, and even the mountain rocks under his feet, the scorching temperature before, began to slowly cool down.
The wind behind him sounded slightly, and the figure of the Moon Relic Bead suddenly moved a few feet to the left. Immediately stunned slightly, it was Wu Qi who appeared behind her, but Wu Qi, but Wu Qi, this time he appeared three feet away from the Moon Bead, seeing the Moon Bead turn his head to look at him, he lowered his head and said, "You tell the clansmen to leave quickly, this altar seal can't last long." There was a hint of anxiety in the old man's voice. Yue Yizhu was stunned again, but she didn't speak, staring at Wu Qi with a pair of bright eyes. Wu Qi sighed and said in a low voice, "I, although I have an enmity with your master, if he appears in front of me at this moment, I will kill him if I say anything." But now, we can't let the entire Wu clan be destroyed because of this, you see! ”
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the Moon Relic Pearl looked in the direction of Wu Qi's finger, only to see that the stone pillar on the northwest side, because it had broken before, the red mangs wrapped around the stone pillars at this moment were far less than those of the other stone pillars, and even the thickness was much smaller than the other red mangs. At this moment, the faces of Yue Yizhu and Wu Qi changed at the same time, and a violent vibration came from under their feet, and at the same time, the scorching feeling surged up again. The Wu clansmen who were rushing to the exit of the altar at the passage were overturned by this sudden burst of force. I saw that the red light suddenly lit up, and the red light was great, and under the restraint of the red mang, the vibration slowly calmed down.
Moon Relic Bead hurriedly flew up and shouted, "Hurry up and get out of here." "The crowd is surging, crowded, and constantly rushing towards the exit, but the thousands of people of the Wu Clan, how can they all leave in this moment and a half. Her eyes flickered, her fair skin tinged with a hint of crimson from the sudden rise in temperature in the altar, and her figure flashed, and she appeared next to the broken stone pillar in the northwest corner of the altar. The faint white light of his fingertips rose, and his bare hand was raised lightly, against the broken stone pillar. As soon as it came into contact, the red light of the stone pillar lit up violently.
The collapsed altar was littered with rubble, and in the deep and narrow passage to the south, many Wu people rushed out of the exit in panic. On the other side, the Moon Relic Pearl, dressed in white, rested her hands against the broken stone pillar, a faint white light lit up between her hands, and in the altar, the red light was like a spider web, covering the ground crosswise.
Suddenly, a violent tremor came, and a hot and violent aura swept in, and the rocks below violently cracked. Moon Zhuzhu only felt a huge force coming, and her hands involuntarily left the stone pillar, and at the same time, a blazing temperature came from the soles of her feet, she paused slightly, threw her right hand, and the thousand-degree staff floated in the void about three feet above the ground, and then the figure flashed, and the person was already standing firmly on the thousand-degree staff. The white light between his hands swelled, and he had already reached the stone pillar. Immediately, a slight breeze rose around him, and the Moon Relic Pearl turned his head to see that it was Wu Qi, who also flew to the ground, and the white mangs between his hands also soared, hitting the stone pillar.
Yue Yizhu was slightly stunned, but saw Wu Qi's long white hair, hanging behind him, a few strands of sideburns, covering his eyes, only to hear him whisper, "Quick, as long as you hold on to a stick of incense, our people can all leave." When the Moon Relic Bead turned his head to look, sure enough, in the altar, there were only thousands of people left. She swept her eyes and nodded lightly towards Wu Qi.
"Wu, you, you, do you know what is under this seal?" Yue Yizhu is not good at words, and wants to ask Wu Qi, but he doesn't know how to speak, and when he says it, he finds that he is not said intermittently. Fortunately, Wu Qi didn't care very much, he glanced at Yue Yizhu lightly, and said with a smile, "Why, your master, didn't tell you these things?" Yueyizhu lowered her face slightly, brushed it aside, and did not answer. I only heard Wu Qi's voice sound low, "The Wu clan has escaped the world for thousands of years, in order to guard this altar, but it is just a witchcraft inheritance, but there is only one high priest, passed on from generation to generation, and after a thousand years, naturally a lot of things have been missed, the old man, hum, the old man doesn't know." ”
Yue Yizhu was suspicious, turned his head to look at Wu Qi, and saw that Wu Qi's thin old face quickly crossed a touch of red, and soon he said disdainfully, "However, look at this seal, it is obviously the witchcraft of my Wu clan, you and I both practice witchcraft, this must be seen." Yue Yizhu nodded slightly, she had this feeling in her heart as soon as she appeared from the red mang, this red mang, weird, but majestic, and her own practice of witchcraft, very similar, but there are some differences. I only heard Wu Qi continue, "But this sealing method is something I haven't seen in my life, and even, hmph, Liao Neng may not know." Presumably, there is a generation of high priests of the witch clan who have been missed, and when they come to me, they have also lost this witchcraft and broken the inheritance. ”
Yue Yizhu nodded secretly yes, glanced at Wu Qi again, and remained silent. I only heard Wu Qi sigh faintly, "I really don't know how high-spirited the ancestors of my Wu clan were this thousand years ago, and I don't know what kind of realm my cultivation has reached." This seal for a thousand years, after a thousand years, this sealed thing, to this day, there is still such a momentum, with the power of the sealing formation, you and me, plus this broken stone pillar, can temporarily withstand the things underneath, I really don't know what kind of peerless demon is sealed underneath, if it is a desolate species, after the old man surrenders, supplemented by witchcraft, tsk. Wu Qi said that later, he had fallen into self-imagination.
Yue Yizhu glanced at him, and said coldly, "At this moment, the combined strength of you and me is only a quarter of this sealing formation, if the things under it come out, without this sealing array, do you still want to surrender?" Yue Yizhu ruthlessly interrupted Wu Qi's fantasy, Wu Qi rolled his eyes, stopped talking, and after a while, he heard his deep voice sound, "I really don't know that the ancestors of my Wu clan can set up this formation, seal this thing, and cultivate it high, old man, I can only look up." "The Moon Relic Pearl was about to speak, when suddenly a violent force surged from below, and the Moon Relic Pearl and Wu Qi were caught off guard, and they were suddenly overturned to the ground by this power. Yue Yizhu slapped her hands, the person had already jumped in the air, her feet sank slightly, she had stepped on the staff of a thousand degrees, her shadow flashed, she had appeared next to the stone pillar, the real yuan was running in her body, and a faint white light lit up, and she was about to rush towards the stone pillar.
Suddenly, a terrible shout sounded behind him, and the Moon Relic Pearl suddenly turned his head, only to see Wu Qi fall to the ground, his thin face, bloodless, blood gushing out from his right shoulder like a fountain, and on the ground, with one right arm, lying quietly. In front of Wu Qi, there stood an unusually burly man, holding a shiny sharp knife in his hand, and on the sharp knife, a wisp of blood slowly flowed down the tip of the knife, dripping into the ground in front of him, and disappeared in an instant.
Exactly Zach! Wu Qi's face was full of anger, and he scolded loudly, "Beast! Dare to kill me! It turned out that just now, when Zack took advantage of Wu Qi's fall, he slashed at Wu Qi's neck with a knife, and Wu Qi was overturned to the ground by this sudden violent force, and Zhenyuan was stunned, and he was a step slower. Without delay, I had to try my best to support it, and my body was crooked, so I could avoid this mortal knife, but this arm was cut off by Zack, like chopping melons and vegetables.
I saw Zach sneer, "Old thing, why don't I dare kill you." Do you think you can be my master after you taught me a few tricks? Yes, once upon a time, I also sincerely regarded you as a master. You hide in my house, I give you things, give you water, provide you with all kinds of poisonous insects, whatever you want, I will give you everything. Wu Qiyi gritted his teeth, stood up, reached out and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, bit the cork, poured out the medicinal powder inside, and applied it to the severed hand. He snorted coldly, "Don't forget, your dark witch leader, I helped you climb it." ”
The moon bead kept on his hand, the white mang rose sharply, and he turned his head and glanced at the two of them lightly, it turned out that at that time, before the black witch elected the leader, Zack was not the most influential one, and even at that time, many people were not optimistic that Zack could become the leader of the black witch, but the night before the election of the leader, several other opponents competing for the leader died suddenly and violently without exception, and there was no cause of death. At that time, the high priest of Wudi had just passed away, and the moon bead was sad, so she had to strengthen her spirit, deal with it carefully, and dare not act at will, for fear of being detected. Although he knew that there was a strange reason for the deaths of these people, the white witch and the black witch were too noisy at that time, and it was not good to interfere too much in the dispute between the black witch leaders, and in the end, it was over. Listening to Wu Qi say this at this moment, this can be regarded as a clear understanding of the inside story of the year.
I saw Zach sneer, "Yes, if it wasn't for you at that time, I wouldn't have become the leader of the Dark Witch." But I also helped you escape the High Priest. I saved your life, you helped me become the leader, and we were both clear. But since I worship you as a teacher, look at what you have taught me. Look at it again, Wu Yu, what is it that taught his apprentices. He sneered, the fat on his face shook and trembled, and his eyes flashed with vicious color, "You will only teach me, these stupid fists and feet, real witchcraft, you will never teach me." Moreover, even if it is these clumsy fists and feet, you will be beaten or scolded, and if you go wrong, you will be beaten immediately. Even scare me with your two sweetheart babies. If it weren't for the fact that you promised me to help me become a high priest, I wouldn't have been willing to listen to you. ”
His voice turned cold, and he said word by word, "But, you actually lied to me!" It's you, you want to be the High Priest, and you're just using me! Zach roared in his back to the sky, holding a knife in both hands, and one jumped high and slashed towards Wu Qi. Wu Qi sneered, his fingertips were really circulating, and he was about to clean up the arrogant Zack in front of him, when there was a sudden shock under his feet, a scorching heat, straight to the ground, and the mountain rocks under his feet, a violent vibration, actually slowly cracked, the crack became bigger and bigger, just a few breaths, it has become a bottomless pit several feet wide. A violent heat rushed up, and some rocks next to the crack gradually melted and fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wu Qi's body moved, retreated to the edge of the crack, only to hear the sound of the Moon Bead, Wu Qi turned his head to look, only to see the large beads of sweat between the Moon Bead's forehead dripping down, and instantly by the heat, evaporated without a trace, the chest rose and fell slightly, obviously he had done his best. Wu Qi snorted lightly, no longer looked at Zack, his figure flickered, and he had appeared beside the Moon Relic Bead, and his left hand raised the true yuan in his body and rushed towards the stone pillar.
As soon as his left hand touched the stone pillar, he heard a scream, turned his head to look, and saw Zack's powerful knife, because Wu Qi's figure disappeared, and it actually slashed straight into the mountain rock, and this instantaneous crack suddenly expanded, the soles of Zack's feet were empty, and the mountain stone under his feet had cracked, he was extremely shocked, and hurriedly held the handle of the knife that split into the mountain stone with both hands, and hung it in the crack. And this crack is getting bigger and bigger, Zach can even see the red magma rolling and flowing under the crack, and from time to time the waves rise, and on the stone wall, from time to time, some stones roll down, fall into the magma, and disappear in an instant.
Wu Qi turned his head and didn't say a word, the white light between his left hand skyrocketed, and the faint voice of the Moon Relic Pearl sounded, "What, you can't bear it?" Wu Qi Huoran turned his head and stared at the Moon Bead, in his eyes, the wind and snow were blowing, and he hated and said word by word, "What did you say!" Yueyizhu glanced at him lightly, "It doesn't matter what I say, you know it in your own heart." Wu Qi was silent, and Zack's mournful cry for help came from his ears, "Master, save me, Master, I'm sorry for you, Master, Master!" Wu Qi didn't move, but after a few breaths, Zack's vicious curse voice came again, "Wu Qi, you old immortal thing, you ask yourself, do you have a trace of master-apprentice affection for me, you old brute, if I die, I will curse you for the rest of my life, and I won't die well......" The words did not fall, only a terrible scream was heard, and the magma under the crack slowly rose up, and the whole knife was roasted hot, Zack's palm ached, and he loosened slightly, and he could no longer hold the handle of the knife, and the whole person fell. There was a thud, a few waves rolled, and then they disappeared.
Wu Qi turned his head to look, and there was a deep crack underneath, and under it was a hot magma that was rolling red, and the heat wave was surging. At the top of the crack, there was a bright knife, the blade was shiny, faintly with a trace of blood, stuck in the mountain stone, trembling endlessly.
