The old man in black saw that we were worried and offered to invite us to go with us, just to reassure us.

Huang Yunqiu is now the last Wuqimin, and Sun Siren is a benefactor of Wuqiguo, he can take the initiative to help us with that group of Taoist priests, and he will not come to harm us at this time, so he decided to go together.

I took the torch and followed him into the underground world of Wuqimin, and walked down the stone stairs from the stone stairs, only to feel extremely cold when I entered it, it was not yet winter outside, but there was a chill underground, we couldn't help but tighten our clothes and be silent ahead.

At the very bottom, you can see the ramps that extend in all directions, the ramps lead to different caves, and there are passages between different caves that are connected with each other, because it is underground, this place has not been disturbed by the outside world, even if it has been uninhabited for five years, but it still maintains its original appearance, and there are rice troughs placed at the mouth of the cave, and there are agricultural tools for cultivating the land.

Huang Yunqiu looked at the scene in front of him, covered his chest, and frowned violently, obviously touched by the sight, and his heart stinged.

There is nothing of value in these caves, the old man in black said to us, "This is the place where ordinary Wuqimin live, and a little further is the place where the Empress Wuqi lives, and it is also the altar of Wuqiguo, the Empress Wuqi is the high priest of the year, in charge of the sacrifice of Wuqiguo, I haven't come down to check it over the years, but the Empress has a lot of things left, you may be able to use it." ”

Liyun in "Zuo Chuan: The Thirteenth Year of Chenggong": The major events of the country are enshrined in Rong.

This means that there are only two major events in a country, the first is sacrifice, and the second is military. Before the pre-Qin period, sacrifice was regarded as a first-class major event of the country, and whether the country was in good weather and the peace of the country and the people was considered to have a great relationship with the gods, and sacrifice as a channel of communication with the gods naturally became extremely important.

The Confucian classic "Zhou Li" also focuses on the content of the sacrifice, even after the Qin and Han dynasties, the wind of sacrifice has not fallen, such as Mount Tai Feng Zen has seventy-two kings, twelve emperors.

can regard the sacrifice as a first-class major event of the country, which shows how ignorant the dynasties before the Qin and Han dynasties were, and attributed the major national events to the sacrifice, it is no wonder that the Jedi Tongtian after the Yellow Emperor, as well as Di Xin's challenge to divine power, as well as Zhang Daoling's arbitrary yin and yang.

Wuqiguo has been inherited for a long time, and until it was destroyed, it retained the practice of sacrifice, but I didn't believe in these things, and said as I walked, "The sacrifice is similar to the Taoist practice at best, and the utensils used are only that, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find anything good." ”

The old man in black said, "Since the Jedi passed through the heavens, there are no gods in the world, and the Kunlun Heavenly Ladder is also guarded, and it is difficult for people to reach the heavens, and the ancient sacrifices are much more complicated than the current practice, so the ancient high priest is not in vain, take my Wuqi Empress as an example, she has the ability to freeze thousands of zhang, and when her mind moves, all the water vapor within a thousand zhang condenses into ice." ”

A thousand zhang is more than 3,000 meters, and this range is too wide, if it is a spell, I am afraid that this kind of ability can only be done by hidden masters like Qingxuan and Liu Cheng.

If this is the case, how could Wu Qiguo be wiped out back then?

Naturally, I didn't believe it, but after a few minutes of walking, I began to believe it, because as we passed a reservoir, the mirror-like water condensed into ice at a rate visible to the naked eye as we passed.

Next to the cistern is a small wall, inside which is a separate building, and the rest of the place is a hole dug in the ground, except for the inside of the wall, which looks quite grand.

Entering from the wall door, just stepping on the first step, the feet instantly began to freeze, the speed spread very fast, the ears can even hear the sound of freezing, it only took a few blinks of effort, the building in front of it has been completely frozen, it looks crystal clear, beautiful, like a fairyland on earth.

All of us could see the gods, and the old man in black looked back at us and said, "This is where the Empress Wuqi lives, and it is also the place where the altar of the Wuqi Kingdom is located, when the Empress returns, it will automatically condense into ice, for so many years, although it is cold here, it is still the first time in five years that it has condensed into ice...... "He looked at Huang Yunqiu when he spoke, meaning that now the empress is back again, so she can condense again, and then made an invitation gesture to us, "Please." ”

We walked cautiously on the ice, and if we were not careful, we would slip on.

When we arrived at the building, the old man in black pushed the door, and there was a crisp wind chime sound in the door, which was full of wind chimes, and all the wind chimes rang together, as if we were instantly brought into the time when this strange country still existed.

There is a round platform in the center of the main hall, the top of the round platform leads to the sky, the round platform is carved with all kinds of strange runes and mythical beasts, there are countless flags of various colors standing on the side, floating around, making a hunting sound, there is a shelf and a set of blue and white cloaks, I think it was worn by the Empress Wuqi back then, it looks extremely holy.

Next to the cloak stood a scepter made of white bone, with small holes drilled into the white bone, and various ornaments hanging on it, and when the cold wind passed, the white bone scepter whined, like a wail, sad side bones.

The old man in black led us straight to the white bone scepter, picked up the white bone scepter and looked at it for a while, then handed it to Huang Yunqiu, and said, "This is the scepter that the empress used to communicate with the gods back then, and it is also the scepter that activated the altar, and now it's time to give it to you." ”

Huang Yunqiu looked at the white bone scepter, and couldn't help frowning when he heard the whining sound made by the white bone scepter. How can she say that she is also using the heart of the Empress Wuqi now, she should also empathize.

Sun Siren looked at it a few times and said, "The hole in this scepter is called the Gang Cave, which is made of human or animal bones, and is generally used in sacrifices to convey the suffering of the people to heaven. ”

The old man in black said, "He is worthy of being a benefactor's apprentice, and his breadth of knowledge makes me a little ashamed." ”

Sun Siren just said casually, without showing off, and said busily, "Please tell us how to use it." ”

The old man in black nodded, and then talked to Sun Siren in detail, we are not using it to sacrifice to the sky this time, but to let Huang Yunqiu open the other three tricks and let her regenerate flesh and blood.

The method is also simple, just let Huang Yunqiu walk to the altar with a scepter, pestle the ground with a scepter, and chant the sacrificial words.

Huang Yunqiu did so, walked to the altar alone with a scepter in his hand, and recited the sacrificial words.

After reading it, I saw a demonic wind rising from the ground and sweeping out, blowing the wind chimes around the bells, and the flags were also hunting in the wind, and Huang Yunqiu's body suddenly erupted with a cold air visible to the naked eye, and slowly spread towards us.

Everywhere we passed, everything was frozen again, and we were shocked when we saw this, Sun Siren hurriedly shouted, "Quickly retreat." ”

A few people flew away, until they went out to avoid the cold, and then look inside, the wind chimes and flags are all sealed in the ice, and we are shocked to see that we are shocked that we are one step late just now, and we are afraid that we are also frozen in ice.

I couldn't help but mutter, "This Nine Aperture Ice Heart is too powerful." ”

Looking at Huang Yunqiu again, she seemed to be in a state of flux, standing still in the altar with a scepter in her hand, suddenly her eyes swept over us, and when her eyes passed us, we all shivered, her gaze was so strange, and so cold.

Click!

Then there was business, the altar suddenly cracked, Huang Yunqiu was caught off guard and fell down, and then in an instant, all the cold ice in the building began to dissipate, and all the water that had been formed after dissipation poured into the hole that collapsed under the altar.

Seeing this, we hurriedly ran over, but saw that Huang Yunqiu had been frozen in a pool of cold ice under the altar.

"What's going on?" Confronted the old man in black.

The old man in black said, "Don't worry, the water here was given to us by the ancient rain master Chi Songzi to Wuqiguo, and the divine water is covered with all things and nourishes the common people, that is, this divine water is matched with my Wuqimin's heart to regenerate flesh and blood, and she will be able to come out after a while." ”

We were skeptical, and the old man in black said, "Look here and see if there is anything you can use, take it with you, I am afraid that no one will come to this place in the future, and let it go." ”
