In the world, it is necessary to fast for several days before the sacrifice to express the memory of the ancestors, and in view of the special case of Qingqiu, the people did not take these things to heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Until the early morning of the next day, the foxes who had the opportunity to kneel down to their ancestors at close range, and it could be seen from the blandness of the ingredients that the patriarch was still very attentive to the sacrificial ceremony.

Chen Shuo and his entourage did not find the figure of the Bai patriarch for half a day when they arrived at the sacrificial venue, and they were at a loss in the crowded crowd.

A smaller figure shuttled through it like a slippery fish, inadvertently colliding with them as they stood still. Jixiang, who was quick-eyed, grabbed the other party's neck and shook it twice, "Aren't you going to dance in the ceremony today, why are you panicking?" ”

The little fox that was lifted squinted its eyes, its free limbs swayed back and forth, and a green jade tied around its neck shook with it, and it said anxiously: "Brother Jixiang, put me down quickly, my father forgot to bring Yucong when he went out, and he should send it over quickly!" ”

Hearing this, Ji Xiang picked it up with both hands, and Chen Shuo leaned over to play with the jade with curiosity.

Since coming to Qingqiu, I found that the mountains were full of high-value creatures, and the netherworld had become more and more nonexistent, and at this moment I finally had a chance to show off, and quickly explained: "Don't underestimate this piece of jade." In terms of appearance, this piece of jade cong is round inside and square outside, representing the traditional idea of a round heaven and a round place. The middle perforation of the jade cong symbolizes the communication between heaven and earth. The intricate ornamentation faintly exudes a solemn and mysterious color, and the spirit animal patterns on the surface can be used with the help of spiritual power, but also indicate its special use. The hollow part is pierced by a log, which is equivalent to the pillar of heaven and earth, and the whole is combined into a magic weapon with reciprocating spiritual power. ”

After being popularized, the first thought that popped up in Chen Shuo's mind was, "It sounds very valuable." ”

"Huh, do you like it? If you want it, I'll give it to you! Jixiang hurriedly offered his courtesy.

Just when the little guy was stunned by the evil forces and was about to cry loudly, someone rescued it.

"Are you trying to delay the sacrifice?"

Noticing the evergreen and black face of the family, he handed it over auspiciously. The moment he took the little one, the Bai patriarch disappeared, and it seems that this thing is really important for the sacrifice.

The sacrifice is divided into nine rituals, namely, welcoming the gods, laying the jade silk, entering the group, first offering, sub-offering, final offering, retraction, sending the gods, and looking at the disease, during which everyone respectfully kneels in the open space around the altar.

On top of the altar are delicacies and accompanied by a distant soundtrack. Sacrificial music, as a ritual and spiritual need, is an indispensable part, setting off a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

The priest of high status was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a delicate rise on his head, waving a jade cong magic weapon in his hand, chanting words in his mouth, sometimes prostrate on the ground, sometimes looking up at the sky, begging God to bless Qingqiu, looking forward to the awakened Xiaobai becoming a guardian saint.

After the sacrifice, Chen Shuo and his party went to the Bai patriarch to discuss the plan to explore the underground palace.

Hearing that Jixiang took the initiative to ask for help, the Bai patriarch breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he wouldn't know how to explain to Xiaobai. After all, the turbidity from the outside world has seeped into Qingqiu, and it is time for the Soul Suppression Bead to see the light of day again.

However, the trip to the underground palace is full of unknown risks, and it is difficult to bring out the treasures if no one has the determination to die. At present, Jixiang is accompanied by Chen Shuo and others, and the probability of success is higher.

Patriarch Bai explained solemnly: "The underground palace is not always accessible, it must wait until the night of the full moon to open, and you must come back that night, otherwise there are many variables." ”

"How long will we have to wait?" Chen Shuo is now pinching his fingers to calculate his remaining days, meditating in his heart that the general audition takes ten days and half a month, so it is better to go back to the Houde faction to hand over the token first.

"Coincidentally, tonight is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and it is estimated that it can be done."

Then you just looked like everything was difficult at the beginning to set off the atmosphere?

Taking advantage of the hazy moonlight, Chen Shuo followed the Bai Patriarch through the dotted paths, and did not stop until a semi-open-air venue.

Why semi-open-air? It is true that only half of the field is clearly visible, and the other half is shrouded in shaky shadows, like a mirage.

"If you tell us to rush straight into that shadow, ask to quit this adventure immediately."

"This time, for the sake of Qingqiu ancestor worship, multiple transmission points will be opened at the same time, and it is inevitable that there will be one or two minor problems. If you stumble into it, you may be teleported to an uncivilized space, but that doesn't matter. Your mission is to enter the dungeon. ”

"Patriarch Bai, I think there can be a roadmap here. We can't let outsiders smear our eyes, and then it won't be enough to eliminate the mechanism for you. ”

"This is really nothing, I also heard about this underground palace from the former patriarch, and it has been hundreds of years."

"I have one last question, the Soul Suppression Bead won't oxidize and expire, right?"

Patriarch Bai refused to answer this question, which lowered his IQ level, and motioned for everyone to stand still on the black stone platform in the center, and then raised his hand to make a strange gesture to the dangling crystal.

A fresh breeze blew, and there was no movement except for the hair being gently pulled up.

"Have you ever heard of the phrase 'fifteen moons and sixteen rounds'?" The patriarch's voice was low and slow, sounding rather mysterious.

But Chen Shuo reacted on the spot: Mysterious your sister! This is the weakness of the heart!

"Guess what I'm thinking?" Chen Shuo said in a vicious voice grinding his white teeth.

The patriarch nodded knowingly, shrugged his shoulders, and his voice was extremely free: "I know, you must want to die with me-let me tell you, there are many people in the entire fox clan who want to die with me, and you have to wait in line until a hundred years later......"

As he spoke, the black stone platform shook slightly, and began to sink slowly, it turned out that this was an elevator......

As the elevator sank, everyone began to enter one of the areas in the core of Qingqiu. Chen Shuo soon found himself passing through a long vertical passage.

"The feeling gets deeper and deeper...... And the air is becoming less and less fresh," Jixiang, as a native of Qingqiu, of course, walked in front, it shrugged its nose and kept sniffing the smell in the air, and the atmosphere here made it very uncomfortable, "I'm a little hairy......"

Chen Shuo followed behind Jixiang, and casually agreed when he heard the words: "You are already fluffy." ”

"That's right...... Jixiang really thought about it seriously, "but now I only have a fluffy tail." Your rhetoric is inaccurate. ”

After a quarter-hour descent, Chen Shuo suspected that he was not too far from the center of the earth, and the black stone platform finally reached the point, and they came to the deepest part of the earth.
