Fortunately, only one person tattooed the totem in an unspeakable place.

Gu Yunying looked at all the other people's totems.

It is said to be a totem, but it is actually a relatively simple image of a flying eagle.

A black eagle spreads its long wings, and on its sharp talons is a twisted viper with intricate patterns on its surface.

Gu Yunying stared at this totem for a long time, but didn't see any clues.

She sighed and decided to give up research for a while.

Gu Yunying turned her head and said to the old woman guarding beside her: "I don't have any problem, these prisoners, you can do it yourself." ”

The old woman looked a little tired, for she had not rested from last night until this afternoon.

She nodded, and conveyed Gu Yunying's meaning to the rest of the Lishan tribe, asking them to find a way to deal with this group of captives on their own.

Upon hearing this, the captives immediately turned pale and looked desperate.

Because a small tribe with less than a few hundred people like the Lishan tribe could not accommodate so many captives at all, even if they were raised in captivity to become slaves for hard labor, they could not feed these people at all, so their only remaining end was a dead end.

Therefore, after they knew that they were about to be executed, some people quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, and some pinned their hopes for their last life on the so-called "gods".

One by one, they fell to their knees and began to pray.

"Huh?"

Just as Gu Yunying was about to leave, she suddenly turned her head again and looked at these praying people in surprise.

She clearly felt that a special white halo gradually emerged from the top of their totems on these people who prayed sincerely.

And this halo is invisible to mortals.

Gu Yunying immediately stretched out his hand to temporarily stop the Li Shan tribe's moves, observing these strange halos.

As the time of prayer slowly lengthened, the halo slowly spread, and finally joined together, as if forming a relatively weak protection, faintly lingering around everyone.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, watching the color of the halo continue to deepen, and faintly, a very faint gold appeared.

"Is it ......?"

Gu Yunying's mind skipped a guess.

She summoned the dagger Yao Yang and said, "Eat me with a big sword!" ”

Yao Yang was slightly stunned, and after a second, he understood his master's out-of-the-box thinking and strange orders, and immediately flew up and quickly circled around the group of praying people.

Everywhere it went, it immediately absorbed the pale golden halo with ease.

Yaoyang trembled and paused above everyone's heads, conveying great affection and anticipation.

This sudden change shocked everyone present.

Because they have never seen a dagger that can fly up and stop in mid-air by itself, and this dagger is quite delicate and beautiful, something they will never be able to create.

Gu Yunying beckoned to Yaoyang, urging it to come back quickly and stop surfing outside.

Yaoyang glanced back reluctantly, but in the end he still obeyed the call of his master and returned to Gu Yunying's sea of knowledge to stay obediently.

Gu Yunying touched her chin and began to think seriously.

At the beginning, she was in the grave pile of the Blood Lake Palace, and because of the threat of deafness, she had to hurry up to cut off the cause and effect of the Lord of the Blood Lake, which was also the golden finger prepared for her by the Lord of the Blood Lake.

Although I don't know why, the good golden finger has become a big sword, but the essence of this golden light has not changed.

Although Sanguna didn't say it explicitly, Gu Yunying also guessed something.

This should be the embodied light when merit has accumulated to a certain extent, which is commonly known as the light of merit in many ways.

Cause and effect, merit, karma, these words are not too unfamiliar.

But when it really comes to the basic principles of the cultivation side, Gu Yunying can't understand it at all.

She overtook the buried objects in the mounds, completely ending cause and effect, and these objects were also remarkable figures in ancient times.

Therefore, it is not too unusual for her to be able to obtain the light of merit, at most it is a little bigger, so that when she was punched to the Blood Lake Palace, she was discovered by the world administrator "Heavenly Dao" to cheat, so she struck her with thunder in an attempt to punish her with a title.

But thanks to Sanguna's manipulation and replacement of her account and IP, she escaped.

But now the question is, why do these totems also produce a light similar to merit?

Is it because of these dying prayers?

If praying alone can produce merit, then Gu Yunying may pray to himself every day, and he is too lazy to do good deeds.

Obviously, the crux of the matter lies in these totems.

"It seems that there is a certain reason why the monk forced them to tattoo a totem representing themselves."

Gu Yunying frowned slightly, and thought: "This totem doesn't have any special features, it's just that the image of that monk as a god is pointed, I know too little information, and I don't know the reason for this, but the merit generated by the totem and prayer belief is at least part of what he needs." ”

"This shows that merit is a breakthrough."

She came to this conclusion, and summoned the full moon again.

Let the silver-white full moon appear with a thick light of merit, and the entire dagger capital emitted a dazzling golden light.

When the light of merit included the full moon, the sluggish feeling of controlling the magic weapon suddenly dissipated without a trace.

"Could it be that this place can only use the power of merit?"

Gu Yunying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, she finally got an important piece of information.

But then she thought about it, if merit was crucial, then there should be a deeper reason behind the seemingly narcissistic actions of the monk who claimed to be gods and powers in the indigenous tribes, forced them to build temples and tattoo totems.

Gu Yunying immediately walked out and tried to do some experiments on the light of merit.

After an afternoon of experiments, it was proved that this ghost place excludes monks, and it is forbidden to use spells and magic weapons, and only by wrapping the magic weapons with a layer of merit can they be used normally.

As for spells and the like, even if it is a mixed merit light, it will exist for a little longer at most, but it will be canceled out quickly and will not cause any damage.

Gu Yunying looked at the Blood Lake Great Sword that emitted brilliant golden light in his hand, and fell into deep contemplation.

"Light of Merit...... How do you use it to cut people? ”

[Gain Gu Yunying's hatred +6666.] 】

It was almost dusk, and Gu Yunying sat on the shore of the lake in a daze, staring at the sparkling water.

In the afterglow of the dusk sunset, the lake was also dyed with a layer of orange of different shades, like the light of merit that she couldn't understand.

“*&#￥……”

Suddenly, from the grass on the other side, there was a sound of footsteps and talking.

Gu Yunying couldn't understand what they said, but she could feel that the two people who came quietly were looking for her.

She withdrew her gaze and silently looked at the two men hiding in the grass.

Because her gaze was so direct, it was so silent that the sound in the grass was suddenly diminished.

Then, a more familiar young man boldly stepped forward.

He still has a wound on his arm, and he should have participated in the battle of the raid and encirclement in the morning, and he is considered one of the warriors of the Lishan tribe.

And looking at the linen clothes he was wearing, and the bracelet made of beast bones on his wrist, it showed that this young man's status and strength in the tribe were not low.

When she saw the man's appearance clearly, Gu Yunying couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"It's you."

She recognized that this young man was the first of the group of people she had met in the desert yesterday to see the situation and succumb.

Looks like it's called *&@还是*¥%?

Anyway, this young man appeared in front of Gu Yunying again, with a slightly shy look on his face.

Gu Yunying suddenly felt bad, and said vigilantly: "What do you want to say?" ”

"I ...... You...... It's amazing. The young man said in stumbling language.

This is probably the result of surprise study, if it weren't for Gu Yunying's brain, he might not really understand what this young man was saying.

"You're complimenting me on how good I am?" Gu Yunying said calmly, "I know, because everyone praises me so much. ”

Seeing that she was willing to communicate with herself, the corners of the young man's mouth gradually turned up, he pointed at Gu Yunying, then at himself, and said with a little excitement: "You...... Terrible...... I...... Learn...... Learn from your ......"

"You want to learn from me...... No, you want me to teach you? ”

Gu Yunying shook his head and refused: "No, I have a plug-in talent, you can't learn it." ”

The young man couldn't understand what she said, but when he saw Gu Yunying's shaking of his head, he knew that he was rejected without hesitation.

"I ...... Step up your game...... etc......"

Although the young man was a little disappointed, his refusal was reasonable, and he showed that he would stick to the posture of apprenticeship.

Gu Yunying felt a headache, she didn't really want to have anything to do with the people in this place.

It's not that she looks down on them, but she is now unable to protect herself, and her future is unpredictable, so she really has no leisure to accept apprentices.

After the young man turned to leave, Gu Yunying pinched his eyebrows.

It didn't take long for someone to find me again.

This time, it was the old woman who invited her over, but because the old woman was sick, she didn't come in person.

Gu Yunying didn't care much about these etiquettes, and went directly to the place where the old woman was.

It was still where the captives were held, but the captives were visibly reduced, and there was a few more pools of blood on the ground.

Gu Yunying retracted her gaze, looked at the tired old woman, and said, "You need to rest." ”

The old woman shook her head with difficulty and said, "Just now we learned a piece of news from the mouths of several captives, these people are only the second group of people who have come to investigate, and the real army is behind, and they will arrive soon. ”

"It is said that the last group of troops to come was at least more than 2,000 people...... I—What are we going to do? ”

She said in despair.

The old woman's lips moved, and her tired and vicissitudes of eyes looked at Gu Yunying hopefully.

It's like looking at the only hope in the endless night.
