Chapter 748: Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony

In a blink of an eye, the two of them had already walked up to the altar in the middle, except for those flags that were planted, the altar was empty, it looked like it was just an ordinary stone platform, Lin Xuanzhong was very curious about what such a stone platform had to do.

Unlike Lin Xuanzhong's opinion, in Xue Yin's eyes, the stone platform under their feet was far from being as simple as it seemed. When Lin Xuanzhong looked at the altar, Xue Yin had already walked around the circular altar and took a good look at every position on the altar.

"General, you stand in the middle of the altar, don't move for the time being, Xue Yin has his own opinions," slowly reminded Lin Xuanzhong, and then, Xue Yin unexpectedly took out a short knife from his sleeve.

"Okay," when Lin Xuanzhong thought about when Xue Yin put the short blade in the sleeve of the stone, Xue Yin had already carved it from the corner of the altar with a knife, and drew a series of carvings full of ancient atmosphere again and again, like words and simple lines, the depth of the carvings was the same, and it looked very special.

A quarter of an hour later, several places on the altar were inscribed. When Xue Yin stopped, there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and it seemed that it took a lot of effort to trace those lines.

"Those are secret patterns, similar to words, but not words, they have always been used for divination in our Qingyuan country, and they can only be learned after becoming a sacrifice, and the general doesn't have to care if he can understand it. When the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony begins, I will continue to explain to the general," Xue Yin slowly got up and looked back at Lin Xuanzhong, and immediately noticed that Lin Xuanzhong's eyes were full of doubts, so he explained directly.

"Xue Yin wants to start the entire ritual with the general's blood, so that the general's spirit can connect with the rules of heaven and earth. In the future, when the general stands at the pinnacle of the martial arts, he will definitely be able to contact the immortal path more easily than ordinary people, and now he also asks the general to give Xue Yin some blood," Before Lin Xuanzhong could react, Xue Yin continued to say to Lin Xuanzhong in a requesting manner.

"Is it really that magical?" Xue Yin's words were as amazing as the secret patterns on the altar, and just listening to it made people feel like they couldn't refuse, so under Xue Yin's instructions, Lin Xuanzhong, who looked puzzled, still stretched out his hand.

"Thank you general," when Lin Xuanzhong pulled out the dustless sword and waved it at his wrist, a stream of bright red blood instantly flowed down, Xue Yin also raised the short blade in his hand and slashed it at his arm, and another stream of bright blood flowed down, and the strange scene surprised the generals who had been waiting for a long time.

To Lin Xuanzhong's surprise, the two strands of blood did not splash around after dripping on those secret patterns, but flowed into those nicks very strangely, and then continued to spread to both sides until the two strands of blood were connected together. The red light flashed, and in an instant, all the blood in the nicks disappeared.

When Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly stopped the bleeding according to Xue Yin's instructions, Xue Yin's face instantly turned pale due to excessive blood loss.

"Xue Yin, are you okay?" Helping Xue Yin bandage her wound, Lin Xuanzhong was very worried about Xue Yin's current physical condition.

"I'm just a little weak in a short period of blood loss, I'll be fine after a while, don't worry, general," smiled and shook his head at Lin Xuanzhong, Xue Yin's gaze quickly returned to the altar, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth in an instant.

"The general is really not an ordinary person," after praising Lin Xuanzhong with a look of surprise, Xue Yin continued: "The general will wait there for a while, and when Xue Yin carves the corresponding secret patterns on the three soul attraction pillars, he will go to the general," pointing in the direction of those generals, Xue Yin planned to complete the follow-up work immediately.

"But your body?"

"General don't worry, if Xue Yin can't even carve the secret pattern, then there is no need to hold a ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens tonight," glancing at the wound that Lin Xuanzhong had bandaged for him, Xue Yin's pale face was full of determination at this moment.

"Okay, I'll wait for you over there," nodded, knowing that Lin Xuanzhong, who couldn't help Xue Yin, was no longer reluctant.

When he was about to walk down from the altar, when he looked at his feet again, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly felt that the entire altar was obviously very different from when he came, but what was the change, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't see it for a while.

After getting off the altar, recalling the strange scene just now when the red light flashed and the blood disappeared in an instant, Lin Xuanzhong gradually remembered the things that Xue Yin said about the Immortal Dao just now. If the extreme of martial arts is really otherworldly, breaking through the ordinary and turning into immortals, then the road to go in the future may be far longer than originally imagined.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, standing under the altar, Lin Xuanzhong saw all the scenes around him. Although the corpses on the battlefield have been removed, this is still a place of death, and I don't know how many fresh lives have been turned into corpses here, whether it is a human or a fierce beast, the lives of a great war have been destroyed. Thinking about it carefully, the position of the high-ranking general is piled up layer by layer of corpse bones, and it is indeed "one will make ten thousand bones wither." ”

Today, Lin Xuanzhong finally understands the meaning of this sentence, but he can't bear the pressure brought by this sentence with a tough attitude. Whether it was before or now, the right and wrong of war are still impossible to measure.

The war in the Northern Regions is still spreading everywhere, and it is still affecting all living beings living in this land. Even if he doesn't know the reason for the beginning of the war, but now that he has come to this, Lin Xuanzhong knows very well that the war will not end easily.

"General, let's go over, I have carved the secret pattern, and the ceremony of worshipping the heavens can be held normally after dark," as Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts were about to spread infinitely, Xue Yin finally left in front of the three soul-attracting pillars.

"It's not early, so we'll stay here until the evening, and then go back when the ceremony is over," looking at Xue Yin's tired face, Lin Xuanzhong only hoped that Xue Yin's efforts were worth it. It was not early now, and there was only one or two hours left before the start of the Heaven Worship Ceremony, and Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to go back to the city again.

"Well," Lin Xuanzhong's reminder was undeniable, and Xue Yin knew very well that he should rest more in his current state.

Not long after, after the two of them returned to the location of those generals, and after the order to stay here temporarily until the end of the ceremony and not go back, Lin Xuanzhong rushed directly to the military tent with everyone to settle down.

At the same time, in Fancheng, Zhao Xu and several chief generals had already received the news that Lin Xuanzhong had taken Xue Yin outside the city to prepare for the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky. Now that he has been given the identity of the Great Medicine Master of Xueyin, Zhao Xu can't help but go to tonight's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. Not only that, Zhao Xu also planned to bring one or two main generals over, so Zhao Xu was arranging for them to participate in the affairs of the army after the heaven sacrifice ceremony.

There are not many affairs in the army for the time being, and Zhao Xu has to do mainly to choose people, and after a brief discussion with several commanders, the selection issue is successfully concluded. Next, Zhao Xu and the others just waited for the time to come.

At night, the full moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling silver light all over the earth. When there was still a quarter of an hour before the start of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, the area around the altar was already full of people, and in addition to Zhao Xu and the generals, there were many soldiers. Many of those soldiers were still lined up in specific positions according to Xue Yin's requirements, and they were all dressed in strong and stubborn clothes, and their military appearance was majestic.

As the protagonist of tonight, Xue Yin is standing next to Lin Xuanzhong at this moment, talking to Zhao Xu and the others. "Marshal, the time has come, please forgive Xue Yin for the inconvenience of accompanying him more," a quarter of an hour passed in a flash when Xue Yin finally explained something about the heavenly sacrifice ceremony to everyone.

"En," nodded, Zhao Xu was ready to watch the ceremony all the way.

Then, under the attention of everyone, Xue Yin walked to the altar step by step. There are three torches on the three pillars, and under the reflection of each other, Xue Yin's posture on the altar is very clear.

Unlike before, there is now a table on the altar, with an oil lamp lit at each end of the table, and in the middle is the secret weapon used to carry soul power, which is said to be valuable in the entire Northern Regions. However, from the outside, the so-called secret weapon is just a domino the size of a palm.

The texture engraved on the domino is extremely complex, and even Zhao Xu has never seen it. According to Xue Yin, those textures are the real ancient characters, and very few people know them now. In addition, the domino has a great origin, and it is said to come from the giant beast of the ancient era. That kind of giant beast was born with the ability to materialize the rules of heaven and earth and predict what will happen in the future. However, today, the so-called desolate beasts have long since disappeared.

In fact, Lin Xuanzhong, like many people, didn't believe that the domino was something that was handed down tens of thousands of years ago, but because it came from the mouth of Xue Yin, Lin Xuanzhong had to choose to believe it.

Xue Yin, who walked to the altar, didn't make any strange movements as Lin Xuanzhong guessed, but just stood in front of the table and chanted secret words that everyone couldn't understand. At first, those voices sounded like songs, but on closer inspection, they looked like Xue Yin was silently reciting passages of text in a special way, giving people an extremely ethereal and unapproachable feeling.

As time passed, the black and white flags around the altar fluttered, and then the flames on the three stone pillars also swayed in an uncertain direction. Obviously, there was no wind blowing, but when the scene at the altar changed, Lin Xuanzhong and many others felt a trace of coldness inexplicably.

As the snow chant continued, the scene at the altar became more eerie, and the fiery red light gradually turned silvery white, as if the moonlight had gathered in that area, and it continued to spread around. Such a strange change made everyone present nervous, and one by one they looked more intently at the altar.

I don't know where the strength of the snow chant comes from, but now the voice of the chant is getting louder and louder, gradually giving people a feeling of connecting the past and the present through the years, with an undoubted special atmosphere, ancient and mysterious, giving people a feeling that is getting stronger and stronger.

As the silver brilliance gathered, the wind around the altar became more and more intense, and it had already blown to Lin Xuanzhong and the others, who were some distance away from the altar. The chill made everyone feel that the scene in front of them was becoming more and more strange, especially under the silver light, Xue Yin's figure was full of noble and mysterious aura, and that kind of temperament was by no means something ordinary people could have.
