Chapter 1218: The Trust of the Great Sacrifice
"Didn't you say it couldn't be subdued?" Han Yu still didn't dare to be careless. According to the poppy, this little thing can burrow into the skin and devour people's internal organs, and it is creepy enough to think about.
"Anything is defined as impossible until you make it possible!" The High Priest stood up easily: "You can try to issue an order to it and see if you really subdue it!" ”
"Does it understand?"
"Just like some dogs, they can understand the words of their masters, Gu is a much more powerful existence than them, why can't they? You just have to think about it in your heart. A faint smile hung over the corner of the High Priest's mouth.
Han Yu glanced at the Gu in disbelief, but as a result, the little thing didn't move for a long time.
"How could it be ......" The high priest furrowed his brows in surprise, but before he could finish his words, the Gu worm suddenly rushed towards him. The high priest's body flashed out with a flicker, and his agility was even more powerful than the witch spirits under the poppy!
And the God Destroying Gu stayed where he was standing just now, and just hovered there.
Poppy stood in place with a strange face: "Sacrifice grandpa, you ......"
The High Priest shrugged his shoulders: "Everyone has his secrets, doesn't they?" He glanced at Han Yu: "Stinky boy, how did you find out?" ”
"On the way back, you lead the way in front, a few miles of mountain roads, you don't seem to have to work hard at all!" Han Yu stretched out his hand with a smile, and the God Destroying Gu spun slightly, and then landed on it.
Of course, for the sake of safety, Han Yu still secretly ran the Nameless Mind Method, letting the trembling power fill his palms.
"Although Poppy said that you are from the Miao nationality and have been walking in the mountains all year round, I still have some doubts. Your breathing is long and powerful, and I've noticed that Nandou is very similar to you, both in terms of the rate of breathing and the way he walks. So, I have a bold assumption that Nandou is your disciple! ”
The high priest paused, then suddenly shook his head and smiled: "You are really a cunning young man, that's right, Nandou is my student." ”
Han Yu smiled slightly, then frowned, and his gaze fell on the God Destroying Gu in his hand.
"What's wrong?" The High Priest asked in a low voice.
"What does it feed on?" Han Yu asked in a low voice!
The high priest smiled: "Some Gu like to eat human blood and viscera, some like to eat metal, and some like to eat plants. God Slayer Gu, there are a lot of things that I like to eat, as far as I know, you can let it bask in the sun more! ”
"You're not going to tell me that it can photosynthesize on its own, are you?" Han Yu smiled bitterly.
The high priest said, "Why not? Food is just a way to get energy! The difference between food and food is just the way you get your energy! ”
Han Yu gently withdrew his hand: "Is the internal force also a kind of energy?" ”
"Huh?" The high priest paused slightly.
Han Yu glanced at it with a wry smile, and the God Destroying Gu that was quietly flying in front of him said, "Just now, it was devouring my internal force!" ”
"Internal force is just a type of energy!" The high priest said calmly, "There is nothing strange about this! ”
Han Yu didn't continue to dwell on this issue, he had just given the order to the God Destroying Gu to step aside, and as a result, this little thing really didn't come near him anymore. Now it seems that without his orders, this little thing will not eat his internal force indiscriminately.
"Can I give him orders because of the presence of energy?"
The high priest shrugged his shoulders and said slowly, "Spiritual power is also a way of energy, isn't it?" Just as we have heat constantly coming out of our bodies, there is an energy around us that we are not aware of. The so-called strong person is just able to use more energy. ”
"So, internal forces are also the materialization of some kind of energy?" Han Yu twisted his eyebrows.
The high priest smiled: "Life itself is a miracle, and human beings are miracles in life. The so-called internal force should be a way to improve oneself found by the predecessors in order to understand and study themselves. It's like constant running, which can make you run faster, and living in the mountains can make you more flexible. ”
Han Yu nodded, the words of the high priest made him have a lot of realizations.
As a military man, he has always been an atheist. But the emergence of internal forces made him a little subversive. He has always wanted to understand what internal forces are and how they are generated. At this time, after some explanation by the high priest, he realized that he had taken shape.
This is like the Buddhist monks, often chanting the Buddha, there will naturally be a treasure solemn on the body, making people feel like a spring breeze, some people will know mental arithmetic through training, some people will have an inexplicable intuition after a long time on the battlefield, some people can taste the composition and year of the food, and some people have infinite manpower.
Internal force, on the other hand, is something that makes oneself more agile and quicker than before through a special training method. It is not abstract in itself, but is just a means explored in the process of self-evolution of life.
As the High Priest said, life itself is a miracle, and human beings are miracles of miracles.
"By the way, I heard what you meant just now, it seems that I know this dagger?" Han Yu raised the dragon scale dagger: "You said that this contains a Miao holy relic?" Don't know what that means? ”
The high priest glanced at the dragon scale dagger: "This is what my father told me, he is the great priest of the Miao tribe of the previous generation. At that time, the Miao people were not divided! And our family has been passed down from generation to generation as high priests! ”
"No wonder, we don't have a sacrificial position in our village, it turns out that this high priest is a title that only you can have!" Poppy suddenly.
Han Yu listened quietly, and he felt that he seemed to be slowly uncovering a piece of history that few people had heard of.
Regarding the poppy's words, the high priest just smiled indifferently: "It's a pity that since my father's generation, I can no longer continue to protect the entire Miao people." ”
"In the Miao people, there has always been a stone from outside the sky, which is what you now call a meteorite. It is said that it was handed down from our ancestors, and it has been enshrined for hundreds of years or more, and we have gradually discovered that meteorite, which has a peculiar function! ”
"Something to do with Gu worms?" Han Yu interrupted him.
The High Priest nodded, "Yes." With the help of Gu worms, we survived in this place. At that time, the Miao people were millions and had nearly 100,000 Gu worms, so no one dared to go against us here, including the imperial court at that time. Later, in order to stabilize the rear, Wu Sangui sent people to fight us. You know, there was artillery back then, and the old guy did have a set of soldiers, so we were ambushed. ”
"More than 100,000 young and strong, almost all of them died in battle, and the blood flowed like a river! Since then, the Miao people have been in a slump to have their current appearance. ”
"Wu Sangui snatched that meteorite?"
"Yes, I heard that it was cast into a dagger, and its name is Dragon Scale!"
"And how did you recognize it?" Han Yu furrowed his brows.
The high priest said slowly, "Without meteorites, it is impossible to create Gu worms. This is extremely unfortunate for us Miao people. Therefore, the high priests of all ages have searched for the whereabouts of this meteorite. Later, I saw it once with my father! ”
"Who brought it?"
"A middle-aged man!" The High Priest smiled and said, "The number one killer of the past." Now that you have taken his dagger, you should be his disciple, right? ”
"If the person you're talking about is the Unknown Monk, it should be!" Han Yu nodded and said, "Doesn't he have any other disciples?" ”
The High Priest shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." ”
Han Yu let out a long breath, if the person the Great Priest said was a nameless monk, wouldn't it mean that the number one killer back then was his cheap master? How could an outstanding killer become the protector of the mountain gate? Han Yu suddenly felt that if his story could be told in its entirety, it would be enough to make it a best-selling novel!
"I still have a question," Han Yu took out his dagger: "How big is that meteorite you are talking about?" ”
According to the Great Priest, this meteorite was able to help them cultivate tens of thousands of Gu worms back then. It should be very huge, and it is too ...... to use it as a weapon, but it is only made into a dagger
"The meteorites of the year were like a small mountain, but after domesticating Gu worms, they shrank day by day. By the time it was snatched away, it was only the size of a human head! The high priest sighed lightly: "The ancestors have instructed that if the holy relics are damaged, it will mean a great calamity for the Miao people. Now it seems that they were not wrong! ”
Han Yu was silent. He didn't know how to express these mysterious causal relationships.
"Poppy, you go out for a while, I want to say a few words to the black clothes alone!" The High Priest said slowly.
Poppy was stunned for a moment, then got up: "Then I'll wait outside!" ”
Poppy said and walked out and closed the door. Han Yu smiled bitterly: "This is not good, now that Miao Village is about to merge, the poppy will take over the entire Miao Village in the future." Now that you've avoided her, won't you make her misunderstand that you're half-hearted? ”
"There are some things that the less you know, the safer!" The high priest slowly took out something from his bosom: "The owner of the dragon scale dagger, that is, your master, once helped us once. Now, the Miao people are going to be integrated again, and I have nothing to give you. That's all there is to it! ”
It was a small square piece of gossip, a color of bronze green, and at a glance it was clear that it had existed for an extremely long time, exuding a simple and clumsy atmosphere: "He was originally from your people, and now it is time for things to return to their original owners." ”
"Give it to me?" Han Yu raised his eyebrows and said.
The high priest nodded slowly, and Han Yu took it with both hands, only to see an extremely fine gossip array carved on it, and four words were written around it. They are all extremely ancient seals, but fortunately he can still recognize them.
"Michiyo? The emperor's reward? ”
"Bestowed by Qin Shi Huang!" The high priest's voice revealed a faint reluctance.
"What's the use?"
"Sacrificial divination. It's my people, and I got it by accident, and it's an antiquity. The High Priest said slowly.
"You won't give it to me for nothing, will you? What are the conditions? Han Yu said with a smile.
The High Priest nodded, "Yes." I hope you will take more care of Miao Village in the future. ”
"Why me?"
"I heard Poppy say, you are from the underworld, you have a very close relationship with the three families and five surnames, and you have the military background of the Colonel Tianwei, as well as the dragon scale dagger. Only you have the ability. Promise me that all my people will have a good life, even if they are completely integrated into your people, as long as they can live well! ”
Seeing Han Yu looking at him with a surprised gaze, the high priest smiled bitterly: "When people are old, the questions they think about are more realistic!" ”
Han Yu suddenly smiled: "I agree to your request, but I am resolute in this thing, I can't ask for it!" ”
The High Priest's face froze suddenly......
