Chapter Seventy-One: Ancestor Worship

Seeing the python skin that was suddenly thrown to the ground by Yang Yi casually, this time it was the turn of the Lingyang Beast to be stunned. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but was stunned for a moment, and the Lingyang Beast appeared on the python skin as soon as it was empty. Then in the blink of an eye, the python skin was quickly put away by it. At this moment, the Lingyang Beast seemed quite excited, and asked Yang Yi and Qin Shang in great surprise, "You actually have this python skin, could it be that you recently killed a three-rank pan water python?" ”

"We did kill a pan anaconda." Qin Shang roughly recounted the unsuccessful search for the Spirit Yang Beast before they came.

"I see. It seems that another of my people has fallen. After listening to this, the Lingyang Beast had long since lost the joy and excitement it had just now. After being silent for a long time, he said slowly. The death of the same clan seemed to make it extremely sad, and the expression on its face was particularly low and depressed. Crawling on the ground weakly, in a daze, I don't know what I'm thinking. Finally, it seems to realize that there are two more outsiders in the cave. Then he said to Qin Shang and the others, "This time, I still want to thank you for helping me avenge my fellow clan." Yang Yi was a little surprised that this Spirit Yang Beast would even say the word thank you. You know, even when they took out the python skin that it needed most, they had never seen it feel half grateful.

"It's nothing, we're just going with the flow." Qin Shang replied.

"Let's go, I want to be alone and quiet." The Lingyang Beast issued an eviction order.

"Well, then let's take our leave. Don't be too sad, take care. Then, Qin Shang and the others turned around and left. Before they could get out of the leaf-covered cave, they suddenly heard the Spirit Yang Beast say, "Ten years later, if I hadn't died. Then, you can come here and take the Lingyang Jade. Remember, my name is Xuyu. When you come, just tap the stone blocking the entrance of the cave three times, and then shout my name, and I will come out to meet you. ”

Qin Shang and Yang Yi turned their heads and glanced at them in surprise, calling the Spirit Yang Beast of Xu Yu. But at this time, it had already bowed its head deeply, buried between its legs, and a faint sobbing sound came from it. Naturally, the two of them didn't want to say anything, and quietly left this sad and grieving cave.

"How, Brother Qin, have you ever taken the Lingyang Jade." The impatient lion head, who had been waiting outside, immediately asked when he saw the two of them coming out.

"Well, this time there is the Lion Head Brother."

"Why be polite to us, they are all our own brothers. But, tell me honestly, did you bully that spirit yang beast? How could I hear a loud cry coming from its cave. ”

"Hey, we gave it the skin of a pan anaconda that it needed. And told it how the python skin was obtained, maybe the dead Lingyang beast was its brother. Let's go, lion-headed brothers. I hope that in the future, you will not spread the news about this Lingyang Beast Cave Mansion, so as not to harm it. ”

"Don't worry, Brother Qin. We will never talk nonsense, the Lingyang jade that will be broken ten years later. ”

Back at Shiwangling, Yang Yi and the seven people celebrated a lot, and it was very lively for a few days. Subsequently, Yang Yi and Qin Shang, accompanied by the lion head, played in this Cloud Corridor Mountain Range for more than a month. During this period, he also picked a lot of spirit grass and hunted a few spirit beasts, which can be said to have gained a lot. Yang Yi felt that since he had obtained the Lingyang Jade and was familiar with the Cloud Corridor Mountain Range, he felt that it was time to go back. After all, he had not left the sect for a short time, so he said goodbye to the lion head and prepared to leave. Who knows, the lion head seems to want Yang Yi to stay for a few more days. He said to Yang Yi, "In a few days, it will be the day we worship our ancestors, and this time every year." It's better to finish participating in our ancestor worship and then leave Brother Yang. ”

Seeing that the lion head kept him, and Qin Shang also clearly intended to participate, and persuaded a few words on the side. Seeing this, Yang Yi was not easy to refuse, and there was nothing to do, so he nodded in agreement. Secretly thought, this ancestor worship may be of some use to get their own place.

Early in the morning, Yang Yi and Qin Shang followed the lion-headed brothers to the peak. On the top of this mountain, a very ordinary three-story pavilion was built rarely. However, after a while, a lion demon in the formation period came out of it, and said to the people who were waiting, "Since everyone has arrived, then we will set off immediately." After speaking, he took the lead in taking off, as if he was blind to Yang Yi and Qin Shang in the crowd. Hearing this, everyone also hurriedly flew up to follow.

They left the Lion King Ridge and flew all the way north. Along the way, everyone didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was a little dull. After flying about 300 kilometers, the group stopped in front of a valley. Under the leadership of the Lion Demon of the Gathering Period, he walked slowly towards the valley. As he gradually deepened, Yang Yi saw that more than 100 meters in front of him, there was a wall that was not too tall. Within the enclosure wall, two huge statues stand horizontally. The two statues are facing each other, making an attacking gesture.

In front of the crowd on the left-hand side, there is a golden lion. The lion's most conspicuous thing is that it has one ear facing the crowd, and the huge mouth that is roaring forward. The ear, unusually large, had a golden outline. On it, strange lines are all over it, as if it was born this way. At a glance, it gives people a mysterious feeling, as if there is a heavenly way in it. Although the statue's giant mouth was only wide open, it obviously did not make any sound, but it could make people feel deafening.

Directly opposite the statue is a red tiger. The most amazing thing about this tiger is its towering nose and strange eyes. Its nose is high and long, with a tiny snake head in the hole. The head of the snake was eager to poke out of its nostrils, but there was a faint red smoke. Its two eyes, which turned out to be pure black, seemed to be the darkest night. Looking into the eyes of the sculpture, it is as if you are deeply immersed in it in an instant, as if you want to get lost in this endless darkness, and it is difficult to get out.

Before they knew it, they were coming to the wall. On this wall, there was a low stone gate. The tall stature of the lion heads can only be bent down to get in. Under the leadership of the polymorphic lion demon, everyone walked into this stone door. When you enter the walls, you can see only these two statues standing opposite each other, and nothing else. The Gathering Lion Demon did not restrain their movements, allowing Yang Yi and the others to watch the two statues freely. And he himself stood quietly on the side of the golden lion, looking up at the golden lion.

Looking at these two statues from a distance, Yang Yi could only see their expressions clearly. When he got closer, Yang Yi suddenly felt that he seemed to be alone, standing on the ancient land. Above its head, two true spirits, a lion and a tiger, were fighting. Their most formidable physical bodies just collide with each other, and they make people feel earth-shattering power. Their most primitive fangs and minions just bit each other, and there was a monstrous ferocity that infected the entire sky. Sometimes there is a lion's roar that shocks the nine heavens and ten heavens and brings endless thunder, and sometimes there are deep and distant pupils that plunge everything in the world into boundless darkness. Maybe it's just a moment, maybe it's an eternity, and Yang Yi finds himself still standing in front of the two sculptures. And the feeling just now seems to be just the most real phantom. seems to tell the legend of this lion and tiger.

While Yang Yi and the others were still watching, they saw that there was also a stone gate that had been opened opposite the stone gate they entered. A Tiger Demon of the Formation Period came first, followed by six Lion Demons of the Enlightenment Stage and a Terran. The tiger demon in the formation period and the lion demon in the formation stage on Yang Yi's side were only four eyes facing each other for a short time, and then they were separated in an instant. And when he came in, he just stood on the side of the red tiger and looked up. These sixteen people, within this fairly wide wall, did not even make the slightest sound.

Until the sun sets and the full moon rises. The lion demon and the tiger demon are half-kneeling in front of the golden lion and the red tiger, respectively. Speaking of a language that Yang Yi and the three human races did not understand, his voice was low, desolate and distant, and people couldn't help but be in the ancient wilderness again.

Before Yang Yi came, he had already heard the lion's head tell about this ancestor worship, so he naturally knew a lot. They worshiped their ancestors for three days. On the first day, the ancestors are worshipped. This sacrifice to the ancestors began at nightfall and ended at the end of the hour. During this period, they first recited the sacrificial texts to express their feelings of reverence for their ancestors. Then there are nine prostrations, each time with the head touching the ground and making a sound. Finally, they perform their own traditional True Grey Lion Dance. In fact, in Yang Yi's view, it is to imitate the lion's every move and make various actions of predation and biting. And the second day of ancestor worship is to test the supernatural powers. On the third day, it was a lion and tiger fight.

For the demon clan, even if it is the same lion demon, there will be a big difference. Depending on the difference they inherit from the True Spirit Lion bloodline, then their natural supernatural powers will not be the same. On the Lion King Ridge, there are a total of three lion demons. In addition to the lion-headed roaring lion, there is also the heaven-swallowing lion and the heavy earth lion. And for the Tiger Demon, it's the same. The tiger demon who came to worship the ancestors this time is the bloodline descendant of the snake-nosed blind tiger. It is rumored that the two true spirits of the snake-nosed blind tiger and the diting roaring lion are originally opposed to each other. When the two meet, a fight is indispensable. As their descendants, they naturally have to compete with each other when worshipping their ancestors. However, the lion demons and tiger demons who can come every time. It's just a demon clan on a mountain peak in this branch. It can be said that there is a peak every year, taking turns to worship ancestors. Among them, there are naturally some secrets that lead to this.

When midnight came, the lion demon and the tiger demon had completed the first day of worship to their ancestors and left the front of the sculpture. They retreated to the sides of the sculptures, ready to rest for tomorrow night's test of their powers. Yang Yi and the other three Terrans who came here will not really appear until the evening of the third day. In the first two days, they were just spectators.
