Chapter Seventy-Six: The Rites of the Royal Family!
However, the battle between these two holy relics (referred to as the holy war) is not fierce or spectacular at all, to put it bluntly, it is a small snake and a bean sprout fighting, and 99% of the time the battle is completely spent in a stalemate.
The final outcome is that the descendant of the Sun Ladder desperately absorbs energy from the meteorite fragments, exhausts the fragments, and finally completely dissolves and absorbs the Ouroboros, but it also pays a heavy price, the original crystal transparent stem is already black churning inside at this time, like a large cloud of ink poured into a glass of water, and the leaves and tentacle-like tendrils begin to droop.
At this time, old Alam let out a long breath and wiped a handful of sweat, full of the pleasure of relief. He is still only injured to the vitality but not to the root, if he is well conditioned, it is estimated that it will not affect his lifespan, and he can regain his youth. After seeing Fang Senyan's very tangled appearance, he thought about it carefully, then hesitated and said:
"Outsider, this situation you encounter now is very rare, you only get the descendant of the Sun Ladder, but not its dead leaves, and you can no longer use conventional methods to obtain the power of the Sun Ladder."
Fang Senyan could only smile bitterly at this time, where did he still have the financial ability to enter the ruins again to collect the dead leaves of the Sun Ladder? It's just that Fang Senyan quickly understood the meaning of this guy's words, and immediately looked at Old Alam and said in surprise:
"Doesn't it seem like there's any other way you can't do it?"
Old Alam thought for a moment and said:
"Among our royal family in Dubai, there is also an ancient ritual that has been passed down a long time ago, this ritual is called Bab Babra, which is a unique way for our royal family to use the Sun Ladder, the Ouroboros tribe and the Sun tribe both rely on the power in the withered leaves of the Sun Ladder, and Bab Babura takes another way."
"You should also know that the mother plant of the Sun Ladder is a very cruel plant that will kill its own offspring with its own hands, but our ancient method is applied to those dead Sun Ladder offspring. However, the offspring were all killed by the mother plant, and the offspring of yours are not only half-dead, but also bitten by the Ouroboros, I can't guarantee that the ancient method will work, and more importantly, even if the Bab Babura Ritual is successful, the mortality rate is also very high and painful."
"And what happens when you succeed?" Fang Senyan suddenly said: "Since this method has been handed down, it proves that it must be useful, what will happen if it succeeds?" ”
Old Alam recalled:
"I can't use your words to describe the power gained after success, it is completely different from the power obtained by the Sun Tribe and the Ouroboros Clan, they do not change much in themselves, but they can cause thousands of people to lose their lives without realizing it."
Fang Senyan thought for a while, took a deep breath and said:
"You tell me the method first, I'll think about it."
Old Alam got rid of the entanglement of the Ouroboros and was in a very good mood, so he agreed to Fang Senyan's request, but he took out a very ancient rope from his back, and the rope was densely tied with many knots of different shapes. When Fang Senyan saw this scene, he immediately remembered an ancient custom he had heard of: "Knotting rope records"
This way of passing on history and culture may seem incredible, but it has existed in various ancient civilizations with a long history.
There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: "In ancient times, the sages of later generations were easy to use the book deed, the hundred officials to govern, and the people to observe." ”
The way of knotting is usually followed: "If the matter is big, the rope will be knotted; The principle of "small things, small knots, and the number of things".
And this custom is not unique to China, the Indians also have a similar practice, of course, to interpret the knots of different sizes into words, then you can only rely on the mantra passed down from generation to generation in the tribe.
Old Alam's rough fingers stroked one knot after another, and gradually immersed himself in the realm of communicating with the ancestral gods, the language coming out of his mouth was mysterious and distant, with a bit of Sanskrit singing, even if you couldn't understand half a word, there was a strange melody that melted into your heart. ..., after a while, old Alam said to Fang Senyan:
"The method used by the babus is very cruel and it is impossible to terminate once it starts, if it doesn't work out, then you will become its food and slowly watch it devour your body, and this process will even continue until the sun rises and sets twice, are you sure you want to accept it?".
The sun rose and set twice for a full forty-eight hours, Fang Senyan listened to Old Alam's slow voice, and couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, and coughed:
"So....... I mean, what happens if I feel like I can't stand it anymore and have to forcibly stop it by force?"
Old Alam said with certainty:
"The biggest possibility is that you die with the person who performed the ceremony, and the other possibility is that the Bab Babura ceremony fails and you can't gain power. The records of the ancestors are very detailed, and the middle of this ritual cannot be disturbed by any factors, and once disturbed, it will be a failure. ”
Obviously, Fang Senyan had the idea of returning to the nightmare space as soon as he realized that there was something wrong with this ritual and forcibly repaired his body. But now it seems that this plan can only save lives, and the ritual is bound to fail. At this time, he actually didn't have much choice, so he could only grit his teeth and harden his head.
"Are you really sure you want to perform the Bab Babura ceremony? I have to tell you, the larvae of the Sun Ladder used by our royal family are all malnourished and dead, unlike the larvae of yours now, which not only grows very strong, but also looks like it is only seriously injured and has the possibility of survival, and the possibility of something going wrong is quite large. ”
"I see, let's do it." Fang Senyan was already riding a tiger at this time.
Seeing that he must persevere, Old Alam shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Okay, wait, I'll have to find the account of Bab Babra."
Fang Senyan took a few deep breaths, began to close his eyes and wait, he didn't hear Old Alam's movement for more than ten minutes, and when he looked up, he saw that the guy was very ashamed and picked his head and said:
"I'm really sorry, I kept the ritual record about Babu Babura at home, you wait for me here, I'll go back and get ...... right away"
Fang Senyan:
".......... wait, you can just take me with you."
It stands to reason that Fang Senyan can't leave within five kilometers of Dubai's subgiant marsh, otherwise he will be forcibly teleported back, but under the leadership of Old Alam, this rule is broken, but after arriving at Qom Harbor, there are also hints in the space, and he can only move in Qom Harbor, and if he leaves, he will be teleported back to the nightmare space.
By this time, the pirates had already sailed away and returned to the Caribbean, and they had to return when the wind was down, at least half a month less turbulent at sea. Returning with a full load, their morale is high, and they must be speeding up.
There is no doubt that old Alam has absolute authority in the tribe, after he returned to the tribe, he first ordered the tribe to prepare things, and then went around to find some very strange medicines, and finally searched in his own pointed grass hut for a long time, and finally took out a thing from the basement, Fang Senyan was also taken aback when he saw this thing, it was a wrinkled head
The skull had apparently undergone a special treatment, and it was strangely shrunk to the size of a fist, and the surface was a brownish-red, and it felt a little smooth to the touch because of the oil leakage from the skin, as if it had been waxed. Because of severe dehydration, it seems that the facial features are squeezed together, and it looks like there is a kind of grinning hideousness.
After seeing this head, Fang Senyan realized that these guys who came to Port Qom were also very savage and cannibalistic. It is estimated that this scary thing occupies the status of modern people's "sausage" and "bacon" in these indigenous recipes. Could it be that the old thing knows that the physical consumption is very large, and he has to replenish his physical strength first?
Unexpectedly, old Alam looked very respectful in the face of this head, and after lying on the ground and praying sincerely, he still had words in his mouth. After the introduction of a native "Wow in the house" next to him, Fang Senyan knew that this head was actually from the grandfather of Old Alam, and it was like a shrine and a spirit card, which meant respect.
After old Alam picked up the wrinkled head and soaked it in the water, you can see that there are a large number of hairs in the scalp that absorb enough water, and then spread in the water, it looks like a braid, and when the water is completely still, the hair on the back of the head is soaked and scattered, forming a braid with many knots.
Old Alam squinted his eyes, struggling to utter some syllables that Fang Senyan couldn't understand, and looked quite attentive and laboriously recognizing the knots on the braid, analyzing the meaning expressed in them. Fang Senyan couldn't wait to throw a pair of reading glasses to him at this time, if this old guy remembers wrongly, it wasn't himself who suffered?
Fang Senyan couldn't help but sigh again when he looked at his actions, such a way of recording secrets was indeed jaw-dropping, even if he stole this shriveled head that he knew was of great significance, he would never understand the meaning.
After a long time, the corners of Old Alam's mouth twitched, and he looked at Fang Senyan and said solemnly:
"Are you really sure you want to perform the Baba Babura ceremony?"
Fang Senyan said angrily:
"I'll answer you one last time, I'm sure."
I was the name of the chapter that day in harmony was, seduction, how many brothers guessed correctly?
Hehe, finally ask for a first-hand recommendation vote......,
