Chapter 30: The Restoration of Zuding

"The situation was very crisis, the beast tide composed of 100,000 fierce beasts swept in all directions, the sky was torn apart, the colorful glow shone on the earth, a black branch fell from the sky, dyed the cliff for dozens of miles, separated the beast tide, but the beast tide divided into two roads rushed straight to our clan, at this moment the sky sounded the fairy music Tianyin, a colorful bronze tripod fell from the sky, shocked countless fierce beasts, after the beast tide receded, our ancestors enshrined this bronze tripod as the ancestral weapon of our clan, worshiped day and night, prayed for blessings, until today has a history of about five hundred years!”

At night, the 100,000 mountains are dark, there are nocturnal beasts shuttling in the forest, there are terrible poisonous insects hidden in the shade of the moonlight trees, but the Xuanyuan Village is brightly lit, everyone gathers in front of the ancestral hall on the top of the mountain, and the ancestor worship ceremony is about to begin.

There is a square platform ten meters square in the open space in front of the ancestral hall, and there is a four-legged square bronze tripod on the platform. The bronze tripod looks very old, and many of the carvings on it are unrecognizable.

Although the pattern on the tripod looks very blurry, it has a peculiar attraction, as if it contains a magnificent history.

Patriarch Xuanyuan Feng stood in front of the ancestral hall and told the origin of Zuding, this story is known to most people, after all, it has to be told once a year, but some children are very fascinated by it.

"The ancestor worship ceremony is to thank Zu Ding for saving our lineage, and it is also to let Zu Ding recognize your bloodline and officially become a member of our Xuanyuan Village. Xuanyuan Feng said to the teenagers who had just reached the age of sixteen.

More than a dozen sturdy men stepped forward, they carried a lot of freshly hunted prey, piled on the stone platform of the ancestral ding, and finally Xuanyuan Yu stood next to the stone platform with a huge clay pot, which was the true blood of the two-horned Xuanwen that he had hunted two days ago, which had been refined, and contained a large number of special substances related to Xuanwen.

Xuanyuan Yu sprinkled a large jar of the true blood of the two-horned lizard on the stone platform, and the bright red blood stained the huge stone platform, flowing along the carvings on the stone to the feet of the bronze tripod, and then the blood seemed to be alive, climbing to the blurred carvings of the bronze tripod, and spreading to the body of the tripod.

The quaint bronze tripod turned red and bright, looking shocking, and a tragic aura came, as if after countless battles, it was just returned from the ancient battlefield.

Under the leadership of the patriarch, the men, women and children of Xuanyuan Village prayed and asked for the protection of the gods, which was a serious sacrificial process and the most important thing in Xuanyuan Village in a year.

Four old people in the village, dressed strangely, danced a simple and strange dance around the bronze tripod, they are very old, they are the elders of the previous clan, they usually do not appear in front of people's eyes, only when the ancestor worship ceremony is held, they dance and read in their mouths: "Dazai Qianyuan, the beginning of ten thousand materials, the Ming Dynasty is always, and the six are completed." ”

"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Tianyou felt wonderful in his heart when he heard these words, as if there was something pulling him in the dark.

"This is the divine sound that the gods made when they came into the world, and our ancestors recorded it and sang these words every time they paid tribute. Xuanyuan Feng whispered, "But I don't know what it means, even in Zhongzhou, there have been no similar words, and no one can answer them." ”

"Oh!" Tianyou nodded, these words felt very wonderful, and Tianyou wanted to understand the meaning very much.

Finally, after the prayer was over, the four old men withdrew, and Xuanyuan Feng walked to the front of the stone platform again and began to teach the men and women who had just become adults the rules of the Xuanyuan clan.

"Righteousness in hand, morality on the shoulder, kindness to others, friendship with neighbors......"

This process is not very long, but the content is very special, not at all like people living in the mountains can be written, and the truth in it is all about how to get along with people, not how to get along with mysterious beasts.

The clan rules were inherited from ancient times, they were just a vein of the Xuanyuan clan, but they didn't know why they came to live in the mountains, and no one knew the specific reason, only one family rule was passed down.

After the patriarch led the boys to take the oath, he said, "Okay, then step forward one by one and drip the blood from the tips of your fingers onto the ancestral ding. ”

"Why do you want to drip blood on the ancestral ding?" some teenagers did not understand.

"This is to let your mark stay in the ancestral ding, and pray for the blessing of the ancestral ding. Some of the teenagers had already been informed of the ritual by their parents, explaining to others.

"The blood of a person's fingertips can activate the ancestral ding, and if something big happens in the future, the ancestral ding will give early warning," Patriarch Xuanyuan Feng explained.

A young man stepped forward, his thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was almost two meters tall, and he had a body of tendons.

A drop of blood fell onto the bronze tripod, and the bronze tripod covered with blood flashed a trace of red light, which was very faint and fleeting.

"Isn't it okay?" Patriarch Xuanyuan Feng muttered in a low voice.

Several old people in the distance were also a little worried, this young man's blood did not activate the ancestral ding.

Blood dripping on the bronze tripod is a very ancient tradition, the ancestors found that through this method can make the bronze tripod manifest, the bronze tripod will manifest the recent future will happen big things, has helped Xuanyuan Zhai to avoid several disasters.

However, with the increase in the number of ancestral manifestations, Zu Ding's ability to predict the future is also weakening, and the blood of ordinary people can no longer make the bronze tripod manifest, and only with the blood of the mysterious beast can the bronze tripod manifest.

The previous patriarchs knew this secret, so they would not activate the bronze tripod without authorization, because the ability of the bronze tripod to predict the future would weaken a little if it was used once, and only when there was a major event in the mountain that threatened the existence of Xuanyuan Village, Xuanyuan Village would hunt the mysterious beast to activate the bronze tripod.

Recently, the changes in the 100,000 mountains have been very violent, and it is too close to Xuanyuan Village, so Xuanyuan Feng decided to use the special ability of Shending.

But the first drop of blood combined with the blood of the mysterious beast that had been sprinkled on it did not activate the bronze tripod, could it be that the bronze tripod had lost the ability to manifest?

Then, one by one, teenagers and girls stepped forward and dripped blood on the bronze tripod, but this time there was no faint light.

The scene was very quiet, the faces of a group of old people were a little gloomy, if there was no announcement of Zu Ding this time, then the fate of Xuanyuan Village would not be known, and many people were a little uneasy in their hearts.

"Brother Tianyou, I really envy you for being able to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony so soon!" Xuanyuan Hong said with a look of envy on his face. Minors have no right to speak in the cottage, and only adults can participate in the cottage.

"I believe that you can also become a mystic soon!" Tianyou encouraged, after returning to the cottage, Tianyou once gave Xuanyuan Hong an emerald green pine nut, which made Xuanyuanhong's sense of mystery much higher, and I believe that he will be able to break through soon.

The last Tianyou stepped forward, holding a knife in his hand and slashing at his fingers, but the ordinary stroke did not cut the skin, and then Tianyou wrapped the Xuan Qi around the knife to cut the skin, a drop of blood dripped down, and the wound healed quickly.

Tianyou's movements were fast, and no one saw his skin as tough as a mysterious beast, and the faint golden luster in his blood.

After Tianyou's blood dripped onto the bronze tripod, it turned into countless tiny blood threads, flowing along the bronze tripod carvings, and spread all over the body in the blink of an eye.

Tianyou, like everyone else, turned around and left after dripping blood, but just as he turned around, there was suddenly an astonishing fluctuation behind him, and a golden light shone in the sky, and a golden pillar of light rushed into the sky, which could be seen clearly from hundreds of miles away.

Everyone in the village was shocked by this sudden scene, and stood in place with their mouths blank.

At this moment, in a dense forest hundreds of miles away from Xuanyuan Village, a cavalry regiment of 100 people was spinning in place.

"Young master, the old man must have told us the wrong way! We're lost now!" said one of Gao Minghai's men.

Gao Minghai's face was extremely gloomy, he was tricked by a barbarian, and he was already on the verge of breaking out.

But just as he was about to explode, suddenly a golden beam of light came from the sky in the distance, leading to the sky.

"What's that?"

The golden beam immediately caused a commotion among the cavalry.

"No matter what it is, it's better to go anywhere than to wander around in the mountains!"

A detachment of cavalry set off again.

And on a small plain deep in the 100,000 mountains more than 500 miles away from Xuanyuan Village, a stone giant with a height of 1,000 meters is squatting on the ground, and only one arm that can move is carving Xuanwen in the void, which is very complex and mysterious, and is directly imprinted in the void.

A golden beam of light rushed into the sky, attracting the attention of the gargoyle, the gargoyle turned his head and looked in the direction of Xuanyuan Village, he felt a familiar aura from it, and there was also an aura that he didn't recognize, but in the end he shook his head and continued to bury his head in the air to portray Xuanwen, he had his own things to complete, and now he didn't have time to care what this golden pillar of light was?

In Xuanyuan Village, everyone was shocked in place. Including several old people with extremely high seniority, the manifestation of the ancestral ding recorded in the history of the clan has never been such a big movement.

At this point, they were all dumbfounded.

The four-legged square bronze tripod is covered with golden light, the carved lines on the body are lit up inch by inch, and the heavy bronze tripod slowly leaves the ground and slowly flies upward, as if leaving this world.

When the bronze tripod was about three or four feet above the ground, suddenly the golden beam of light went out, and the mysterious power disappeared.

"Bang!" It smashed down from the air, kicking up dust half a meter high.

"Coordinate positioning failed! As soon as the sky was heavy, Xuanwen was damaged and automatically fell to the Lingxuan Realm...... The spirit body is damaged and automatically falls to the Heavenly Mystery Realm...... Sixty percent of the attack on Xuanwen was damaged...... Ninety-six percent of the Heavenly Qi Observation Technique is preserved...... Memory rebooting......"

A metallic voice that was a bit like a child's tone sounded, and the Xuanyuan villagers present looked confused, this is ...... What the?

"Reboot Successful!"

After a string of words that everyone couldn't understand, the golden light on the bronze tripod gradually converged and turned into red, green, and blue instead.

There was silence in the clearing, and the villagers froze in place.

"Boy, what's your name?" Suddenly a metallic voice sounded in Tianyou's head.

"Are you talking to me?"

"My name is Tianyou, Xuanyuan Tianyou!" Tianyou said subconsciously.

"According to the backup plan, Xuanyuan Tianyou, now, you are my master!"

"What?......" Tianyou froze in place.
