Chapter 61: The Origin of the Ancestral Stone!
However, in the face of the well-equipped regular army of Tibet, how could they, the more than 200 peasants, be opponents? In just one confrontation, there were heavy casualties on their side, and everyone was desperate when they saw this scene. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć It was at this time that the patriarchs of the five tribes decided to invite out the holy relics of each tribe, and as soon as the five holy relics came out, under the attack without the slightest reservation, more than 100 people of the Tibetan army were suddenly killed, and the rest of the people fled in fright.
However, because of the large-scale attack, the holy relics of various tribes have also been damaged to a certain extent, especially the ancestral stone of their tribe, because they have been defeated by the holy relics of the Demon Flame tribe before, and they have been damaged again this time. As a result, their ancestral stone is in worse condition. In recent years, their ancestral stones' injuries have reached the point where they cannot recover.
After listening to him, Lu Chen was even more curious about the ancestral stone in his mouth, what kind of creatures are the holy relics of these small tribes?
When he entered the village before, he felt that something was watching him. However, it didn't take long, and it only took a moment for that feeling to disappear. At that time, Lu Chen hadn't thought about their ancestral stone, but since hearing this person's story, a trace of conjecture flashed in Lu Chen's mind.
And at this moment, they entered the patriarch's house, and Lu Chen saw an old man about sixty or so cleaning the courtyard. Seeing the two people who walked in, the old man smiled and said, "Where is this little brother from?" ā
Lu Chen looked at this seemingly mysterious old man, and bowed his hand and said, "I am wandering here from the outside, there is a lot of disturbance, and I hope the patriarch will not be surprised."
"Where, it's just that the little brother should also know that our tribe has often been harassed by the Tubo mountain bandits over the years, for the safety of the little brother, I still suggest that the little brother not stay here for too long," the old patriarch said very sincerely.
"Don't worry, patriarch, I'm here to worship Lord Zushi, and then I'll leave here," Lu Chen said very piously. After speaking, Lu Chen's eyes glanced into the room, just now, the feeling of being peeped at appeared again, and it was even stronger than before, Lu Chen could feel it, this was not like being peeped at, but more like an invisible fluctuation probing himself, which made him more curious about the so-called Earth Ancestral Stone.
When the old patriarch heard that Lu Chen was coming to worship the ancestral stone, he immediately led him to a room in the middle of the courtyard, which was also the tallest and most elaborate house in the entire courtyard.
Entering the house, Lu Chen saw at first glance that on a brown-black table directly in front of him, a stone about the size of two fists was placed on it. The stone was pure white, and when Lu Chen saw the stone for the first time, he suddenly felt an invisible shockwave hit his brain.
Immediately afterward, a feeling of dizziness hit. Lu Chen's face was pale, and he endured this shock wave, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly emitted a murderous aura, and his sharp gaze looked at the white stone in front of him again, but he saw that the stone on the table shook slightly, and then stopped moving, and at the same time, the dizziness in Lu Chen's mind also dissipated out of thin air.
The two patriarchs on the side didn't feel the dangerous confrontation just now, and their faces were still normal. But when Lu Chen looked at this stone again, his heart was already like a stormy wave, there are really supernatural beings in this world!?
Lu Chen walked forward slowly, and was about to touch the stone with his hand, but was stopped by the patriarch behind him, he explained, "Lord Zushi can't touch it, whoever touches it will turn into stone, Lord Zushi is using this ability to protect our clan!" ā
Hearing his words, Lu Chen pointed to the table suspiciously and asked, "Then why hasn't this table turned into stone?" ā
"As long as it is a living being, to be exact, as long as there is flesh and blood in the body, it will turn into stone, and other things will not have an effect," he said, but he saw the patriarch catch a thumb-sized insect from the ground and throw it on the stone.
In an instant, the insect seemed to have encountered something terrifying, and two rows of small paws kicked in the air in a panic. Under the watchful eyes of the three of them, the insect's body began to turn white, and after only a few breaths, the insect fell off the stone. However, now it has turned into a white stone, instead of the living bug it was before.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen's eyes jumped subconsciously, I wipe! This is terrifying!
Lu Chen carefully picked up the petrified insects, and held them in his hands with the same hardness and weight as other stones. Lu Chen looked at the white stone on the table again.
Being able to assimilate flesh-and-blood creatures is barely understandable, just like sulfuric acid can corrode other things, some special materials have their own characteristics, and the most puzzling thing for Lu Chen is the invisible impact he felt when he first came in, and he can be sure that the shock wave is definitely coming from the stone.
This shockwave, along with the peep that preceded it, suggests that the stone has a consciousness of its own, or at least spirituality! This made Lu Chen feel that his three views had been subverted for a while.
At this moment, he saw that the white stone began to tremble slightly again, Lu Chen's eyes froze, and his whole body suddenly tensed, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
At this moment, a vague consciousness reached Lu Chen's mind. At the same time, there was a faint light on the stones, and seeing that Zushi was actually communicating with this wanderer, the two patriarchs next to them suddenly looked at Zushi with shocked faces.
Isn't it true that only the patriarch can communicate with the ancestral stone!?
After a while, the stone no longer glowed, and at the same time, Lu Chen gradually came to his senses, still with a little shock on his face, and glanced at the white stone with a little deep meaning.
At this time, the stone shone again, but this time it was communicating with the old patriarch, and the patriarch's face first showed a look of shock, then it became extremely sad, and finally, his face showed a look of determination.
Zu Shi talked to the patriarch for a long time, and after a long time, the light on the stone gradually dissipated, but the old patriarch couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
And Lu Chen finally knew the origin of this ancestral stone. According to the expression of the ancestral stone, this ancestral stone does not know when it was enshrined as a sacred relic of their tribe, and then I don't know how many years have passed, this ancestral stone gradually began to produce a vague spiritual wisdom, but at the moment of spiritual wisdom, he instinctively felt extremely kind to all the people in this tribe, and all this seemed to have been imprinted in his consciousness for a long time.
Later, as the spiritual wisdom of this ancestral stone became stronger and stronger, he gradually felt that his spiritual value seemed to come from the faith of all the people in this tribe, and according to Zushi's own measurement, he was able to produce spiritual value, which was also inseparable from the pious belief of this tribe.
Since then, he has taken on the responsibility of protecting the tribe. Because he himself is able to petrify flesh and blood, he will drive away large beasts whenever they attack the tribe.
