The Shusha clan, from the period of the Yellow Emperor, is revered as the "Salt Sect".

Of course, his beliefs were far less extensive than those of Shi Huang. But with the summoning of the divine beast spirit of the Black Beast King, the position of the demigod is a certainty.

Ji Le was standing in the atrium, in front of the formation he had carved, and was about to start descending, when the young man suddenly interjected: "Wait-you say, what you want to summon is just a salt god?"

"Yes, that's right. ”

"All you want is a man who can make clean salt?"

"So to speak. ”

"Then I think there is a person who is more suitable than him. ”

Hearing this, Ji Le slowed down his movements and turned his head to look at the young man.

Although Emperor Shi didn't know why the young man said this, he also quickly seized the opportunity to persuade: "Yes, the Shusha clan is only responsible for making salt, and it is difficult to be of great help in other aspects. It is better to descend to a capable minister with experience in governing the country, and this capable minister must also have divinity. ”

Since ancient times, China has a vast land, and in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, the ancestors of various regions had their own "salt gods" to worship. For example, the Shusha clan in the Yellow Emperor era, Guan Zhong, who founded the salt administration, and the salt basking respected in some southern regions.

That's right, Guan Zhong Guan Yiwu is also regarded as the god of salt in some regions and in certain eras. Moreover, Guan Zhong is not only revered as the god of salt. Those places where the female Lu fireworks, and respected him as the ancestor.

Youth: "He is not only a minister of the people, but also has a plan to govern the country, and he is revered as a god by later generations, carrying divinity. I think he's very good. ”

"Spring and Autumn Period?" Ji Le thought secretly: The old man didn't know why, and he tried his best to stop me from summoning the Susha Clan. But Guan Zi is indeed a good candidate, and he can be called an all-round talent.

"But if you summon the pipe, you can't act so recklessly. Ji Le said: "I originally circled the era of the Yellow Emperor, even if I couldn't summon the Shusha clan, I have no opinion on the big guys such as Fenghou, Limu, Sunu, and Qibo." But the Spring and Autumn Period...... It's better to be cautious. ”

Tian Ping is an example, Ji Le doesn't want to summon any more neighbors from the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Old man, thank you, help transcribe "Pipe", and I will use it as a medium for summoning back. ”

"But "Pipe" is not written by Guan Yiwu himself......"

No matter how pretending to be a name, "Pipe" must have the philosophical idea of Guanzi in it. I will go back and transcribe a volume myself to show my sincerity. ”

Ji Le's attitude towards the Shusha clan and Guan Yiwu is completely different.

The Shusha clan and Ji Le are more regarded as an ancestral god, an elder similar to the Shi Huang clan. But in the face of Guan Yiwu, the ancient name, his attitude was more cautious. In Ji Le's mind, Guan Zi stands in the first sequence of Chinese celebrities, except for his own idols, almost no one can beat Guan Zi.

"And the time is not right, in the middle of the night, the séance pipe is not in accordance with the etiquette. ”

That's not what you said when you summoned your stepmother. The young man secretly discussed in his heart: Your fellow's séance theory is too weird. Prepare the medium of calling, and choose the right time. The séance is obviously bound to you personally, how can there be so many conditions?

However, Ji Le wanted to ask for peace of mind, and they had nothing to object.

The three of them returned to the main hall from the atrium, and Ji Le asked Yu Yuan: "The matter of the séance will be postponed for the time being." Yu Yuan, I remember that you mentioned the magic of suppressing the earthly gods, and now Feng'e is gone, so let's talk about it in detail. ”

Yu Yuan is eating snacks in the hall, and she is busy so far today, and she has hardly eaten.

After swallowing two pieces of honey cake, she said vaguely, "Please follow your Highness to the Chengtian Palace." This secret is in the Chengtian Temple. ”

Chengtian Temple, a shrine dedicated to the eight lords.

The young man's face sank, and he was about to open his mouth to refute. Ji Le responded: "Okay, the old man left to transcribe "Pipe", and the two of us will go with you!"

He pulled the young man and entered the Chengtian Hall again under the leadership of Yu Yuan.

This time, however, they did not enter through the main hall. Instead, open the secret passage at the Dan Qi in front of the hall and enter the secret room below the Chengtian Palace.

"This is the Temple of Earth, a special place to worship the Mother Earth Goddess. ”

"Sacrifice to the Earth Mother God?" Ji Le was surprised: "You still have contact with the Earth Mother?"

"No, just a little bit of inheritance. Because of this, we witches can suppress the other witches of the Spirit Palace and gain the upper hand. It's here—"

Under the leadership of Yu Yuan, the two came to the altar of earth in the depths of the secret room.

This is a square altar made of five-colored earth. A metal fragment is suspended above it. The shining light illuminated the entire secret room, and it also conveyed a heavy divine might.

"Your Highness, this is our hole card for suppressing the earth. It's not an arcane magic, it's an artifact fragment from Mother Earth. ”

"Originally, here, there was also a Mother Earth divinity. But it suddenly disappeared some time ago. As she spoke, Yu Yu secretly looked at Ji Le.

Ji Le secretly smiled bitterly, he naturally understood that the so-called Mother Earth divinity was probably the achievement of himself.

The young man circled around the square altar three times: "The earth god is a goddess, presumably because of this, how much care is given to your witch family?"

"That's right, the shrine maidens of all generations have come here to comprehend the divinity of the Earth Mother, and they can obtain the corresponding secret arts. ”

Standing under the square altar, the divinity of the Earth Mother in Ji Le's body became active, and he asked softly: "Legend has it that the Earth Mother has seven artifacts, which artifact is this a fragment?"

"Maybe it's Huang Teng. ”

"Huang Teng?" the young man and Ji Le said in unison, and looked at Yu Yuan in unison.

Yu Yu knelt in front of the altar and prayed briefly before she stood up and continued: "Mother Earth left seven artifacts, namely Earth Age, Huang Teng, Jade Pupil, Stone Eyes, Shui Huan, Golden Spike and Huoluan. ”

Hearing Yu Yuan's names one by one, the expressions of the two became more and more strange.

Ji Le: "This name was chosen by Mother Earth? ”

Youth: "It seems that it is in line with the culture of our Han Dynasty." ”

"It was taken by our predecessors. ”

Mother Earth has a completely different image in the inheritance of various civilizations. The artifacts she left behind have also appeared in various names in major civilizations.

Legend has it that the Earth Mother waved her golden belt to bring a bountiful harvest to the earth. As a result, the Tumu dynasty called the Golden Belt of Mother Earth the "Golden Belt of Harvest". And the kingdom of Bardo is simply and clearly called "the golden belt of Mother Earth". When it came to the Xia Kingdom, the previous people thought that those names were not sighty at all, so they named the gold belt "Golden Harvest".

Yu Yu briefly explained a few artifacts, and then pointed to the fragments in front of her and said, "Huang Teng, the legend is that it is the crown on the head of the Earth Mother. ”

Ji Le immediately thought of the so-called "battle for the sovereignty of the earth", perhaps this crown is the key to the battle of the earth!

After hesitating, seeing that there was no one around, Yu Yu secretly said: "Your Highness, according to the mythological materials collected by the Xia Kingdom for many years, I suspect that the origin of the Earth Mother Seven Artifacts may not be a product of this world. ”

"This world?"

"In ancient mythology, there is a legend of the Earth Mother killing the evil snake. ”

According to legend, not long after the opening of the world, there was a big snake crawling underwater. Whenever the morning sun rises, the serpent emerges from the water and devours the gods who walk in the sky.

Later, it was the Earth Mother who ventured into the water, fought the serpent for nine days and nine nights, killed it, and used the snake corpse to construct the continent.

"So, you suspect that these artifacts were created using that violent?"

"That's right. I suspect that the reason why Nan Yushan attacked our Xia Kingdom was because of this thing. ”

Huang Teng, according to Yu Yuan's speculation, is made of the head of an evil snake, symbolizing the sovereignty of the earth. As long as you can gather all the pieces of the crown, you can take the authority of the earth and become the lord of the earth for a new generation.

"Feng'e and Yang Ke were forced back by the Earth Mother Artifact Fragment, now that they think about it, it may also be the fragment of Huang Teng?" Ji Le looked at the suspended artifact fragment and slowly stretched out his hand.

Boom –

The divinity of Mother Earth in Ji Le's body changed abruptly, and a golden light shot out to hit the fragments.

"Ji Le!"

"Your Highness!"

In the eyes of the young man and Yu Yuan, the fragments instantly left the square altar and flew towards Ji Le's forehead.

Without thinking, the young man encouraged his martial spirit, poured his power into his left hand, and wrapped his red qi around his palm, grabbing the fragments on Ji Le's forehead.

The fragments shimmered through thin air, and the heavy radiance of divine power resisted the power of the youth. Then, the shards extended golden threads again, weaving a new crown over Ji Le's head.

At the same time, Ji Le also continued to have the power of faith flowing into the illusory crown, prompting the change of the Earth Mother Artifact.

Blocked by the power of Mother Earth, the young man still refused to give up and planned to strike again. Yu Yu hurriedly stopped him: "Your Excellency, wait." This artifact may not have malicious intent, and it seems to be a confession?"

"Confessing the Lord?"

"Yes. Yu Yu stared at Ji Le's forehead, and she guessed: "His Royal Highness has a divinity from the Earth Mother God in his body, and that wisp of divinity and artifact fragments have been placed together for many years, so they may have sensed each other?"

Moreover, the spiritual sense from the shrine maiden told Yu Yuan that Ji Le was not in any danger.

Under Yu Yuan's persuasion, the young man temporarily pressed down.

After waiting for a while, with the help of the power of faith in Ji Le's body, the artifact fragment re-woven a golden silk dragon crown on the top of Ji Le's head.

The golden dragon groaned, and the sun shone brightly. A small golden dragon lay on the crown, and the dragon body firmly held the red orb transformed into fragments.

"This crown ......" Ji Le touched the hat on his head, "Just one fragment can automatically transform into a new artifact? ”

The quality of this artifact is very strong, and the moment Ji Le puts on the crown, he feels that he and the land of the Xia Kingdom have a deeper level of control.

"I can understand how the Nanyu Mountain God forced Yang Ke and the others to retreat. If he does have the Emperor Fragment in his hands, then mobilizing the power of the earth can easily drive out any heresy in his domain. ”

After Ji Le put on the dragon crown, he finally understood the nature of the battle between the gods and the earth.

The battle of the gods of the earth, also known as the battle of the crown of the earth. refers to Huang Teng, who ranks second in the Seven Artifacts of the Earth Mother. This artifact is the seven-pointed serpent crown created by the Earth Mother using the Chaos Ancient Serpent, and it has the divine power to command the earth. In that battle a thousand years ago, the crown shattered and flew all over the earth.

But the crown's divine power has not disappeared, and each scattered fragment can control a piece of land. If the crown is reunited, the authority of Mother Earth will be restored.
