Chapter 26: The Ninefold Prostration (Part 1)

Although Yan Shaodian and Yan Wuzhi were far superior in cultivation to many guards, it was also the first time they had seen such an evil scene.

The two of them took a few steps back vigilantly, and took out a mirror and a small drum respectively, two talisman witch weapons, which were probably their means of saving their lives at the bottom of the box.

"Fifth Uncle...... Why don't we try?" Yan Shaodian saw several guards keep bowing, and an impulse suddenly surged in his heart.

Xingzun's widow, the peerless inheritance, what is it to knock a few heads, even if you knock for a few days and nights, you are willing!

He thought about it, but he couldn't resist the temptation any longer, and fell to his knees with a thud, and kowtowed his head in a proper manner.

"Foolishness, see how I destroy you!"

Yan Wuzhi sneered, his palm stretched, Wu Yuan condensed, turned into a pitch-black hideous skull, and flew under the copper tripod, accompanied by a cold cry in his mouth: "Go, Ten Directions Devil!"

Seeing that they were in chaos, Lu Feng quietly moved to the rear, and when he saw Yan Wuzhi casting the spell, he ran back and forth.

Yan Shaodian and the guards were kowtowing, and they couldn't care about him at all.

Yan Wuzhi glanced at him disdainfully, and scolded in his heart: "Jumping beam clown, an ant-like figure! Hehe, the old man has already planted a mark in your body, so what if you run for three days first!"

At the same time, the Demon Skull bit on the Ghost Spirit Grass. The ghost spirit grass quickly withered and turned into flying ashes as if it had been drained of its essence.

Soon, the Devilish Skull devoured a piece of Ghost Spirit Grass, and did not stop, continuing to circle the copper tripod for a week, swallowing all the Ghost Spirit Grass.

"Hahaha! The weeds also want to scare us!" Seeing this, Yan Wuzhi smiled proudly, "Today, the old man will wipe you out cleanly!"

However, before he could be happy, he saw a little black light flickering from the ashes, and quickly rushed towards him.

Before the guards kneeling on the ground had time to react, they were wrapped in black streamers, and turned into piles of pus in the blink of an eye, flowing all over the ground.

The mirror in Yan Shaodian's hand inspired a ray of light, enveloping his entire body, blocking out the black streamer.

This mirror can protect the owner automatically, and it is not an ordinary baby.

At this time, when he got closer, he found that in the black streamer, there were small black insects in the shape of centipedes, exactly the same as those that devoured Aba.

These small black insects were bounced away by the protective light, and some fell to the ground, immediately freezing and losing their voice.

But these little black worms are dense and almost endless. The talisman glow was dyed black, corroded layer by layer, and crumbling.

Yan Wuzhi's cultivation is profound, and his condition is better, but his face is also difficult. Anyone can have a headache in the face of this poisonous insect swarm.

"These are the third-grade group demon beasts and ghost eye insects! The terrifying degree is especially above the second-grade dark ghost bats! You can't be defeated, you can only outwit them! Let's go, retreat to the cave!"

Yan Wuzhi shouted loudly and pulled Yan Shaodian to fly back. A group of eight people came, and now only their uncle and nephew remained.

Once the second-grade dark ghost bats are dispatched in groups, they are enough to match the masters of the Gu Refining Realm. Meng Yao also relied on the poison of the red-eyed poisonous lizard at that time to win by luck.

And once the three-grade ghost eye insects formed a swarm, the level of terror increased tenfold, which made Yan Wuzhi, who was in the half-step Yuan Fetal realm, also have a drastic change in complexion, and had to choose to avoid its edge.

The sound of the two fighting with the ghost-eyed worm faded away in a blink of an eye, and gradually disappeared. The Banyan Valley returned to silence, leaving only pus all over the ground, disgusting and terrifying.

A faint yellow light suddenly lit up on the copper tripod, and the white jade coffin under the starry sky trembled slightly.

The red and white pus, as if pulled by an invisible force, slowly flowed towards the copper tripod.

......

Banyan Valley, Guixu River.

"Hidden on the outside and explicit on the inside, swallow breath to live forever. ”

With the maintenance of the turtle-shaped static pile, Xiao Nan only felt that the external breath was almost stagnant, and the internal organs gradually expanded, and the internal breath naturally flowed, nourishing the whole body, like the legendary turtle breath in the previous life.

Moreover, during the turtle breath period, the gods are hidden, and they can not only detect every move of the outside world, but also become clearer and clearer.

When he woke up slowly, it was the moment when Yan Wuzhi's uncle and nephew retreated.

Xiao Nan opened his eyes and felt refreshed, and he could see normally in the river.

Although he did not break through to the second layer of the quenching body, his five senses became extremely sensitive, as if he had evolved.

When the voices of Yan Wuzhi and the two disappeared, the jade finger that grabbed Xiao Nan's wrist gently traced and rubbed twice, signaling that he could go out.

The jade fingers are delicate and the skin is smooth and tender, which makes Xiao Nan's heart ripple for a while. He is a three-year-old child on the surface, but inside he is the soul of an adult.

The two climbed out of the Guixu River, just in time to see the strange scene of the jade coffin shaking. The copper tripod emitted a layer of yellow light, slowly absorbing the pus around it, as if a living beast was eating.

As the copper tripod devoured, the jade coffin vibrated more and more intensely, as if it would fall at any time.

"Banyan Valley Star Palace, white jade hangs in the air. Worship my spirit, bow ninefold. ”

This proverb flashed in Xiao Nan's heart, and the scene of the ancient ethnic sacrifice carved on the stone carving of the dark cave came to his mind, and the cause and effect gradually became clear like a flash.

He looked up at the white jade hanging coffin and muttered, "I want to...... I understand. ”

Meng Yao's eyes showed a look of surprise, and she became more and more curious about this mysterious boy. She couldn't help but ask, "What do you understand?"

"Banyan Valley Star Palace, Banyan Valley said that nature is this valley with dense banyan trees. Xiao Nan put up his hands, and the old god was explaining, just like Mr. Private School in the study hall.

"And the Star Palace is talking about this illusory sky full of stars. ”

"Unreal?" Meng Yao interrupted as he looked at the starry sky.

"Not bad. Xiao Nan glanced at her dissatisfiedly, shook his head slowly, and said, "According to the time we entered the cave, until now, it has reached dawn.

"But there is no early sun in the sky above this Banyan Valley, and the starry sky is still brilliant. And if you look closely at the stars, they have changed half a point since they entered the valley. The real starry sky is not so quiet and dull. ”

"You mean to say...... Is this starry sky an extremely large witch array?" Meng Yao looked at the starry sky in admiration, unable to imagine how much effort it would take to arrange such a huge illusion array.

She looked at the sky from afar, like a painting, dressed in white and jade, under the starry sky, like a fairy dream.

"Exactly. The white jade hanging in the air refers to the white jade coffin that hangs in the air. Xiao Nan continued, pointing to the trembling coffin and smiling, "Then the point is here." ”

"The so-called spirit of worship is to sacrifice with flesh and soul and supplemented by the ninefold prostration, that is, the ritual of kneeling, so as to complete the ancient pilgrimage.

"These ghostly eyes...... It is used to devour flesh and soul and transform raw tribute into cooked tribute, and sacrifice to the tripod, forming a situation of yin and yang mixed life. ”

Meng Yao listened to what he said, thinking of the ancient murals he saw in the cave, and finally suddenly realized, and suddenly understood the cause and effect.

In the mural, the priest stretched out his hand to sprinkle the "ghost spirit grass" into the sacrificial ding, now that I think about it, it is not the ghost spirit grass, but the ghost eye grass!

The grass seeds of the Devil's Eye Grass will break, and the Devil's Eye Worm will be born. After devouring flesh, the ghost eye worm will die when it lands. In this way, all the nutrients of the living beings will be absorbed by the sacrifice.

Subsequently, with the help of the ritual of kneeling and worshipping, the ancient tribes transformed the power of living beings in an inexplicable way, and nourished the white jade coffin through the sacrifice tripod.

But what exactly is in the white jade coffin, and what is the purpose of the pilgrimage?
