Today is January 2nd, 2026, and we set out on the way to Zhurong Temple, Alyssa because the Witch Association in the UK has something to do, so she will split up with my soldiers, she will be in the UK, and we will go to the Zhurong Temple

We didn't choose to take the big brother's plane this time, the little grandfather said that the plane was too conspicuous, and the target was too big, so we used the big brother and the little grandfather his own flying magic weapon, the big brother took me, the third senior brother, the fifth senior brother and the seventh senior brother, and the little grandfather took Bai Hao and them, and flew directly all the way over.

To go to the Zhurong Temple, we must first go to a village near the Zhurong Temple, because the priests and the people who worship the god of fire have lived there for generations, but now that the modern technological civilization has been very developed, the existence of this place has long been forgotten by the world, and it cannot be found on the map.

The village was built at the foot of the temple, and as soon as I got off the temple, I felt the temperature in different places———— although it was an extinct volcano, the temperature was still much warmer than the rest of the world.

Our flying magic weapon landed at the entrance of the village, there is a statue of Zhurong about 5 meters high at the entrance of the village, I have only seen Zhurong in ancient paintings before, and now I see this lifelike statue, I can't help but be in awe, and what is even more rare is that this statue is actually carved from a whole stone. A man at the entrance of the village saw us descending from the sky, and after a few seconds of stunned words, he shouted to the village, and saw many women and children running out, looking at us with a hint of curiosity. I was stared at by their unnatural gaze, so I quietly pulled my little grandfather's sleeve and whispered, "What are they looking at?" ”

The little grandfather said: "That man just said that a god is coming, so everyone came out." "I stuck out my tongue, I didn't expect that the people here still believe in the existence of immortals, but I was a little relieved to think that this was a village that worshiped the fire god Zhurong after all.

When the crowd was noisy, there was an old man on crutches, who was close to the sixtieth birthday, and when everyone saw him coming, they all gave way to salute, and the old man slowly walked up to us and said in a deep voice: "I thought something was wrong, it turned out that a few Taoist friends had arrived." He nodded slightly to the little grandfather and said, "How could the heir of the Mo family come to our isolated village at such a time?" ”

The little grandfather saluted him and said: "I've seen the village chief, I can't hide it, I came here because I want to invite a few high priests to come out" As he spoke, he pulled me over who was standing behind him and probed my brain, and directly grabbed my hand wearing the ring that the golden crow was carrying and said: "In order to let my granddaughter re-conclude the contract." ”

When the old man saw the ring on my hand at first glance, his eyes were squinted and opened, not as he looked on the outside, those eyes were very sharp, I saw that after he carefully looked at the ring on my hand, he took a few steps back, knelt directly in front of me, and bowed to me. I was startled, but I was pulled by the little grandfather and couldn't move, but after seeing that after three bows and nine kowtows, the old man said very respectfully: "I don't know that the divine envoy is coming, the people of the Wildfire Clan have missed the distance, and I hope that the divine envoy will forgive the sins." ”

"Hey, little grandpa, how did you do it?" I lowered my voice and asked, "How did I become an oracle?" ”

"Your ring is the parasitic thing of the Vulcan mount, and the Vulcan mount is also a divine beast, so you have become the messenger of the Vulcan God's approval, that is, the divine envoy" The little grandfather said in a low voice: "Say something quickly!" ”

"Uh........" I thought for a moment, "Get up!" I have come mainly to see the high priest," and when the crowd did not move, I said to the old man, "Let them get up, I have something important to ask for the high priests this time, and I hope you will tell them where they are now." ”

When the old man heard me ask him, he first turned around and whispered a few words to the crowd, and then said to me respectfully, "The priest is now preparing for this year's fire god sacrifice in the temple, please come with me!" Then he turned around and led the group of us into the village.

We followed him all the way into the village, and after several rounds, we came to the foot of the volcano, but saw a winding path that stretched to the top of the volcano, and the old man took us on the path, and climbed for a long time to reach the top of the mountain. When we all reached the top of the mountain, I found that there was a black temple at the bottom of the crater, which occupied almost the entire bottom of the volcano, and we could clearly see the structure of the entire temple above, the old man took us all the way down to the bottom of the volcano through the plank road built in the crater, and followed the stone road all the way to the entrance of the temple, I arrived at the door only to find that there was a square in front of the temple, and there was now a statue of Zhurong carved out of wood on the square, which was smaller than the one outside the village, about 3 meters high, There are some tributes in front of the statue of Zhurong, the old man saw me staring at the statue, and explained: "We will hold a fire god sacrifice here every New Year, that is, the statue of the god to be used in the sacrifice, the village people will gather here on the day of the sacrifice, and the festival will dance the dance of blessing and prayer, and the village people will also join, and we will light the statue of the god of fire to pray for the blessing of the god of fire for a year, the statue has been coated with tung oil, and once the fire is lit, it will continue to burn for several days until the statue is charred, Then the priest would crush the charcoal and put it in an altar and give it to each family fairly, and when they brought it back, they would offer it to their own homes. I nodded, indicating that I understood, and then our group had come to the main hall, only to see that there were two strong men in front of the main hall, they were wearing coarse linen clothes, one of them had a spear in his hand, and when he saw us coming, the two of them saluted to the old man of the village chief, and then asked what he wanted, and the old man also replied a few words, and saw the two kneeling down on one knee and said a word to us, and the old man of the village chief said: "Please come in with me." With that, he led us to the inside of the temple, and I couldn't help but ask, "What did they just say?" ”

Unexpectedly, my sentence caused a catastrophe, and the old man suddenly turned back to stare at me, and wondered, "Doesn't the divine envoy understand?" I was stunned, and just about to say something, the little grandfather stepped forward and said, "It's a long story, and when I see the priest, I will tell the truth about the truth." ”

When the old man saw my little grandfather talking, he nodded and said, "It seems that something has happened that even the divine envoy can't do anything about, so please come with me." After that, I turned around and continued to lead the way, and the little grandfather gave me a "don't talk anymore" look, and followed the old man forward, I stuck out my tongue, and followed quietly.

We walked all the way around the statue of Zhurong in the main hall, there was actually a small hall behind the main hall, the old man took us to the small hall, let us wait under the steps in front of the hall, and walked up the steps and said loudly: "The village chief of the Wildfire Village asks to see the high priest!" After a while, a middle-aged man in a fiery red robe came out of it, and when he saw that the old man was still following us, he frowned and said, "Why are there outsiders here?" ”

When the village chief saw him come out, he said respectfully: "The fifth priest is a god who wants to find the high priest if he has something." With that, he turned sideways slightly, revealing me standing at the bottom of the steps behind him

The middle-aged man was also shocked when he saw me at first glance, only to see him take his robe and walk down the steps quickly, come to me, look at the ring on my hand, kneel down on one knee and bow his head: "I don't know if the god has arrived!" Please forgive me for my unjustified sins! ”

I frowned, thinking that alas, it was here again, and now I had to bite the bullet and say, "Please get up, I.... This god is here for a little thing, and I want to ask a few people for help. ”

The man stood up, puzzled but respectful, and said, "I don't know if there is anything that can be used for the oracle?" ”

"That's right............ "I probably told him about the loss of mental contact after I signed a contract with the Golden Crow, and how to restore the contact, and only omitted the fact that I was captured. The man's expression changed from admiration to confusion to frowning as I recounted, and finally after listening to me, he said, "This is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing, and although we haven't used that magic circle for a long time, since it is a request from the divine envoy, we will do our best." As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please also come with me to the high priest first, if it is really as you say, then the matter must be carried out immediately." ”

After that, he turned around and led us inside, and said as he walked: "I'm afraid that this divine envoy has just succeeded him, you don't know, generally speaking, the divine envoy will not easily cut off the spiritual connection with the fire god beast, presumably the people you called the Yan organization used some strange spell to cut off the passage, if the divine beast after the contract is cut off from the contract divine envoy for too long, it will cause the divine beast's aura to be replenished for a long time, and finally the divine beast will die because of the depletion of the spiritual energy." ”

"What?!" I was shocked: "But it's been so long, that gold ...... Is there still hope for the Vulcan Beast? ”

"It doesn't matter," the fifth priest led us all the way to a small room and said to me, "It's still too late, as long as you activate the circle today, you only need to meet the divine beast again in the past and conclude a contract, and the spiritual path between you and the divine beast will be opened again."

After that, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the room, and led us in, only to see an old man in red with white hair and white beard sitting on a futon and meditating with his eyes closed, he heard us come in, and did not open his eyes, and said directly: "I already know the intention of the divine envoy, five priests, you first take the divine envoy and a few others to the divine altar, and then go and tell the other people, just say that they should go to the divine altar first and wait, and I will arrive later." ”

"Yes!" When the five priests heard him, they immediately said to me, "Please come with me." ”

I followed him out of the room without stopping, and followed him through a passage, out of the passage, I saw a big black round platform, the steps in front of the platform were also black, he took me up the steps, walked up to a high platform, I saw a black stone bed in the middle of the high platform, the high platform was carved with a five-star formation, the five priests took me to the stone bed and said, "Please also ask a few people to be here later, I will go and call the other priests to come." With that, he hurried away.

I saw him go, reached out and touched the stone bed, but was surprised to find that the stone bed actually had a temperature, the little grandfather said: "This is what will be used later, this is the secret treasure of the Vulcan Clan, it is made of volcanic stone, little dye girl, you listen well, you will lie on it later, close your eyes, just need to sleep, a few priests will be responsible for other things, when you re-conclude the contract with the Golden Crow in the past, your consciousness will be pulled into the depths of your sea of consciousness again, once you see the Golden Crow, You need to inject aura into it immediately, you just need to put your hand on his head and imagine that your aura is continuously infused through the palm of your hand, and once the golden crow recovers, immediately take it away, understand? ”

"Hmm" I nodded, and wanted to say when, but I saw the five priests going and returning, followed by three red-robed middle-aged and elderly people, I saw them climb the steps and come to me, the three people saluted me and said: "I have seen the divine envoy, we have heard the five priests say the matter, you can lie down on the altar with peace of mind later, and leave everything to us." ”

"I'm tired" I nodded, but my eyes saw that the white-haired old man was walking towards us just now, he climbed the high platform, and said to several priests: "The matter is urgent, everyone is in place" After that, he walked to a circle placed in the north of the high platform, sat down cross-legged, and several other priests also walked to the other left and right sides and the following two circles cross-legged, and the old man said: "Please also ask the divine envoy to lie on the altar, close your eyes, and the others please leave the high platform for a while, you can protect the Dharma for us around the stage." ”

I nodded with a few senior brothers and Bai Hao, and motioned them to do the same, so the little grandfather took them down the high platform, and sat cross-legged under the steps, I took a deep breath, lay on the stone bed, slowly closed my eyes, thought about it, and put my hands together on my chest, and then there was a sound of chanting mantras in my ears, the scriptures were obscure, the more I listened, the more sleepy I became, and my consciousness flew farther and farther with the sound of the mantra, until I could no longer hear any sound.

"May the god of fire bless you" After I was completely pulled into the darkness, the white-bearded old man opened his eyes slightly, looked at me on the stone platform as if he was dead, and continued to keep his hands forward, and below the stone platform, the formation glowed slightly red

"Hold on, make sure God brings back safely! May the god of fire protect my Wildfire Cult! Bless the Oracle! The white-bearded old man opened his eyes and said in a loud voice

"May the god of fire bless!" Several other people also said loudly, and the seventh senior brothers in the audience also murmured: "Dye, come on!" ”
