Chapter 640: The Same Portrait
"This is the blood cavalry we just sent, and we defeated several opponents."
I:......
I had 10,000 Cao Nima galloping in my heart at that time, this old man is really shameless, what do we mean that we are the ones who were defeated by them, I just wanted to argue a few words, but at this time, the old man turned his words and continued: "We don't know each other, these people are also heroes with real skills, so the patriarch decided to invite them to participate in this sacrifice ceremony." ”
After these words fell, the rest of the people immediately looked at each other.
Soon a middle-aged man with a long beard stood up and objected: "Patriarch, are you doing this in violation of the rules?" ”
"Yes, for thousands of years, the sacrificial rituals of our tribe have never been directly participated in by outsiders." Someone chimed in.
There were several voices of opposition one after another.
The old patriarch still had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and then said calmly: "As the old saying goes, the rules are dead, but people are alive, and the rules can be changed." ”
"Patriarch, this is the rule set by the ancestors, besides, if you let outsiders participate, what if you get out of the basket when the time comes?" The fiercest opposition was to the bearded man.
Just as they were arguing, Cao Tianshi suddenly spoke up: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor Dao has a few words to say, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Say." Someone said politely.
Cao Tianshi directly said: "Everyone, Poor Dao has calculated it, this sacrificial ceremony shows a bad omen, so Poor Dao recommends not holding it." ”
This sentence almost didn't directly make everyone vomit blood, I looked at Cao Tianshi in surprise, thinking that Cao Tianshi really dared to say that others were arguing so fiercely, he asked others not to hold it, how could this be possible.
Sure enough, someone soon scolded Cao Tianshi and said, "Where did the stinky Taoist come from, here to confuse the public." ”
"What the poor Dao said is true, and there is no half-truth."
They soon began to argue with Cao Tianshi again, and the quarrel was endless.
In the end, the old patriarch came out of the town and said, "It's all noisy, I have decided, the sacrificial ceremony will be held as usual, and then you can also participate." ”
Cao Tianshi and those people still wanted to talk, but the old patriarch didn't give him a chance, so he said, "Disperse, disperse, you all go back." ”
Then all the people dispersed, and some of them were reluctant when they left, but the old patriarch spoke, even if they objected, there was no way. Cao Tianshi was also depressed at this time, but the fat brother's expression didn't matter.
I called out to Heavenly Master Cao and prepared to leave here.
At this time, the hall was empty, and when we had just turned around and walked a few steps, the voice of the old patriarch came again: "This friend, you stay." ”
The three of us turned around at the same time, and we looked at the old patriarch and asked, "Who do you let stay?" ”
The old patriarch still had a smile on his face at this time, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at me and said, "It's you." ”
I asked if there was anything going on?
The old patriarch said, "I have something important to tell you. ”
The fat brother said directly: "If there is anything you say directly to us, don't hide it." ”
The old patriarch was still not affected by the fat brother, and then said: "Friend, this matter can only be said to you alone, is it convenient for you to see?" ”
I glanced at the patriarch, then at the fat brother, and after thinking for a while, I said, "Fat brother, Master Cao, you go out first and wait for me, and I will come out immediately." ”
The fat guy muttered, but finally listened to me and began to walk outside. When they were gone, I said to the old patriarch, "Can you say it now?" ”
The old patriarch didn't answer me directly, but said to me, "I don't know what my friend is called?" ”
I didn't hide my real name, so I said, "My name is Zhang Yan." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a friend Zhang, look up for a long time."
I didn't talk to the old patriarch, so I just said, "Tell me if you have anything." ”
The old patriarch suddenly moved his steps and said, "Friend Zhang, come with me." ”
I heard him call me Zhang You, I felt weird, so I said to him, just call me Zhang Yan, the old patriarch was not polite, just call me Zhang Yan, we walked forward, and soon passed through the main hall, and came to a corridor.
The old patriarch also said to me: "Actually, you are not the only ones who have been invited to participate in the ceremony this time. ”
I hummed and didn't go on the subject, because we weren't invited in the first place, but uninvited.
I followed the old patriarch and looked at the surroundings.
"Our tribe has been living in seclusion for thousands of years again, and this time the sacrifice of the gods is just the right time, and you are here at the right time."
I didn't understand what the old patriarch said for a while, so I asked more: "What do you mean by this?" ”
The old patriarch suddenly let out a long breath and said, "Zhang Yan, what your Taoist friend said may be true, this memorial may really be a bad omen, and the gods who have blessed us for thousands of years may be about to fall." ”
The old patriarch spoke, and his expression was still a little sad.
However, I immediately understood that the old patriarch and the high priest may know about this matter, but the gods, as the symbol of the tribe, are going to fall into such a big thing, of course, they can't say it to the outside world, and if they say it, the consequences are naturally unimaginable.
I answered at this point and said, "Then why don't you listen to my friend and stop the sacrificial ceremony." ”
"Haha." The old patriarch laughed twice, and this laughter sounded very embarrassing.
"The sacrificial ritual can't be stopped."
"Why?"
The old patriarch's gaze suddenly fell on me, and after a moment of silence, he said to me, "You will know later." "I followed the old patriarch forward, and the old patriarch quickly pressed the switch of the secret room, only to hear a rumbling sound, and a stone door was opened.
When I opened it, I could smell the smell of decay coming from inside.
After we entered, I saw this secret room, full of weapons, I looked at these weapons, it is indeed not bad, but it is not called a magic weapon, the old patriarch called me, it is definitely not to see this, sure enough, we went forward, he lit the lamp here, and said to me: "Zhang Yan, look at what it is?" ”
I followed the old patriarch's hand and looked over, and I saw a painting hanging on the wall, showing a man in white armor, looking majestic.
It's just that when I saw this portrait, I was stunned.
The person in this portrait looks exactly like me. I stared at it for a long time.
My heart was full of doubts, and my mind was spinning rapidly at this time, thinking about this matter, and it didn't take long for me to have an answer in my head, isn't this god also one of my doppelgangers?
The old patriarch's gaze dimmed a little at this time, and then he sighed heavily.
We stood in the chamber and didn't speak.
After a long time, the old patriarch was the first to break the silence and said: "This is the god of our tribe, the spiritual symbol of our tribe. ”
I hummed, and I gradually understood.
The old man was still reminiscing, "We are all descendants of the gods, so we have noble blood flowing in our bodies, and the gods have given us bodies that are naturally capable of cultivating. Therefore, the old man especially didn't want anything to happen to the gods. ”
I stared at the portrait and replied faintly, "I understand." ”
I just experienced the matter of the Heavenly Daoist, I understand the sadness in the heart of the old Taoist, and at this time, I naturally understand the sadness in the heart of the old patriarch.
The old patriarch continued, "Zhang Yan, if the Heavenly God falls, it may be a disaster for our tribe. ”
I didn't know what to say, so I didn't answer the old patriarch, but after standing still, I said to the old patriarch: "I'll go first." Then he turned and walked outside. The voice of the old patriarch sounded behind me, and he called my name.
I ignored it and continued walking.
I can't stop this.
It is true that once it happens, people cannot stop it. When I arrived at the door, Cao Tianshi and Fat Brother were waiting for us.
After I came out, the fat brother immediately came up to me and asked, "Zhang Yan, what did the old man say to you?" ”
I replied that I didn't say anything, just called me to see a portrait.
In fact, after I finished speaking, my heart became a little heavier.
