Chapter 22: The Altar, the Ancient Temple, and the Artifact
Fortunately, tens of thousands of skeleton armies came in the next wave, and the two women finally couldn't care about exploring the question of whether Lin Ao was a perverted man with dirty thoughts.
The three of them hurriedly sealed their mouths and noses to breathe.
The red-eyed fierce tiger was accepted into the Sumeru ring by Lin Ao, and the more than 2,000 talismans stacked in the middle of the Sumeru ring were almost squandered by Lin Ao, a loser, in less than half a month, leaving just enough space to accommodate this curled up saber-toothed tiger.
Originally, Lin Ao also wanted to put the mirage civet into the Sumeru ring, but the latter seemed to confirm that Lin Ao was an evil and obscene pervert, so no matter how much he coerced and tempted, he was completely ignored by this mirage demon and looked at Lin Ao in the slightest.
In addition, the round-faced girl protected the tanuki-shaped mirage in her arms like a liver baby, and she was in a hurry with whoever dared to force it, Lin Ao was soft-hearted, and he didn't want to force the mirage too hard, so he couldn't make several efforts, so he had to give up.
Fortunately, seeing that this spirit beast also seemed to have a special way to avoid the skeleton's sense of smell, Lin Ao put his mind at ease and took the first step towards the weakest direction of the skeleton group, interspersing it.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt that someone was pulling his sleeves, Lin Ao looked back in amazement, but saw the round-faced girl pointing in the left direction, signaling Lin Ao to turn left, and then pointed to the mirage in his arms, which meant that this was the message that the mirage conveyed to her.
Lin Ao glanced at the group of skeletons on the left side, which was obviously twice as large as the one in front of him, and hesitated slightly, but immediately remembered that this mirage had previously said that it had lived here for more than a hundred years, and the skeleton tide that took place every six months had already seen hundreds of times, and he must know the inside story better than himself.
At that moment, his conviction was firm, and he turned around and strode in the direction indicated by the round-faced girl.
At the moment when the three of them had just left, Lin Ao suddenly heard the weak area of the skeleton group that he had chosen earlier, and suddenly there was a roar of golden stone bursting, and then he saw a giant skeleton with blue light in its eyes, tearing open a huge rock with force, and jumped out.
The skeleton was a foot tall, its bones were as black as splashed ink, its bones were fluffy, and there were even many signs of corrosion and peeling, and it had obviously existed for too long.
As soon as it appeared, it saw that this giant skeleton suddenly opened its mouth and sucked hard, and the surrounding miasma suddenly poured into its belly like a tide, and the concentration of the mist in the air suddenly thinned a lot.
Then, he saw that the giant skeleton had a pair of blue flame eyes flickering in the miasma, glanced coldly in the direction of Lin Ao and the others, and then struggled to pull away a group of skeletons that were blocking its progress, and crowded towards the three of them at full speed.
The three of them were frightened and inexplicable, and hurriedly spread their body skills to the limit, each shuttling through the group of skeletons at the fastest speed.
After a long run, the three of them almost ran into a giant skeleton like the previous one that could only destroy gold and broken stones with their bare hands, but fortunately there was a mirage fox as a guide, so they avoided it all the way without danger.
Just to avoid those little skeleton lords whose eyes flashed with blue light in the mouths of the little foxes, fleeing all the way, Lin Ao found that the group of skeletons gathered around the three of them was not decreasing, but actually showing more and more trends.
After rushing like this for several miles, he finally couldn't help but stop, and was about to ask the mirage for the reason.
Suddenly, he found that more than ten zhang in front of him, a huge stone platform shaped like a square was densely packed with skeletons.
This stone platform is about 100 zhang square, and in the middle is a huge pit ten zhang square, and from a distance, the three of them can smell the thick smell of blood coming from the huge pit.
At this moment, on the Baizhang stone platform, there were already tens of thousands of skeletons like pilgrimages, all kneeling in front of the huge pit that exuded a strong smell of blood.
Lin Ao had seen in an ancient book the introduction of kings ascending to the altar to worship the heavens, and he recognized that these skeletons were also holding some large-scale worship ceremony.
Similar to the feudal hierarchical pilgrimage, these worship skeletons are also hierarchical.
Approaching the bloody pit were some skeleton lords with blue flames flashing in their eyes, and even a few ash-level skeletons with obvious palpitations in the innermost layer with white flames flashing in their eyes, and the outermost layer were those skeleton soldiers with blue flames flashing in their eyes.
Countless skeletons came one after another, as if they had discussed it in advance, each found their own position, and then faced the huge pit, and knelt down reverently.
In just a short period of incense, more than 10,000 skeletons have been added to this stone platform.
The army of skeletons that are innumerable in all directions is still coming.
Lin Ao gasped, wondering that it was no wonder that the mirage fox said that there were 100,000 skeletons here, according to this posture, I am afraid that all the skeletons buried in this desolate mass grave would be resurrected.
Although he was very curious in his heart, what kind of anti-heaven thing in the giant pit actually made 100,000 skeletons kneel down and worship, but when he swept a glance at the few ash-level skeletons near the giant pit that scared him to the bone, Lin Ao still retreated, and subconsciously wanted to stay away from these dangerous elements that could explode at any time like a time bomb.
This time, there was no need for a reminder from the mirage fox, Lin Ao had already found a ruined ancient temple not far from him that had not been invaded by skeletons.
That ancient hall covers an area of about ten zhang, high and five or six zhang, the whole body is made of red copper, the shape is like a low tower, the palace door is the classic arch moon shape in the ancient building, the door is high and Xu, the eaves are engraved with a sharp weapon "Nourishing Soul Palace" three vigorous and powerful Dou Da seal characters.
At this moment, whether it is the low tower-shaped hall body carved with beams and paintings, or the arched moon-shaped temple door, or the three big characters carved on the eaves wall, they all seem to have undergone countless years of weathering baptism, becoming corrupted and eroded, and dull.
Before he approached the ancient hall, Lin Ao felt an indescribable vicissitudes rushing towards him.
Through the open bronze door of the ancient hall, Lin Ao saw the one-person-high golden humanoid sculpture in the middle of the hall at a glance.
It was a statue of a young man with long hair and a face like a crown of jade, with exquisite facial features and lifelike, dressed in a gossip robe, carrying a giant sword that was three feet wide and seven feet long, and stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, as if it was about to flee into the air.
The gold humanoid sculpture also seems to have gone through millions of years, and even a thin layer of weathered gold dust has accumulated on the surface.
In front of the sculpture stands a half-human high three-legged and two-eared bronze square tripod, the original accumulation of incense ash in the tripod has long been obliterated by the dust of a certain thickness, obviously it has been too long no one has come to worship on the incense.
Lin Ao casually brushed off the thick layer of dust deposited on the tripod surface, and saw that the Quartet tripod was also carved with knives and pens on the edge of the tripod, and the three small seals the size of a fly's head were carved with the "Killing God Ding".
Suddenly, Lin Ao felt that his sleeves were being pulled, and when he turned his head, he saw Xiao Qingyi, a woman in a green skirt and purple gauze, and said with a very dignified face: "You come to see this couplet." ”
Lin Ao looked at the past according to his words, and saw that on the left and right sides of the ancient hall, the bronze walls were all written with sharp weapons with seven apostrophes and horizontal seals full of arrogant atmosphere, "A sword to kill the gods, and a drop of blood to sacrifice the spirit to raise the soul."
Lin Ao chewed the fourteen big characters several times, and his sword eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "Among them, killing the gods and raising souls obviously represent the killing gods and the soul cultivation hall, but what does a sword to ward off demons and dripping blood sacrifice spirits mean?"
Xiao Qingyi sighed heavily: "A sword to ward off demons refers to the sword to ward off demons, and the blood sacrifice spirit is talking about the blood altar. This Demon Sword, the Killing God Ding, the Blood Altar and the Soul Nourishing Hall only exist in legends, and they are the four major artifacts of the demon god Gu Liufang, who has fallen for more than 10,000 years. ”
"Artifact?" Lin Ao subconsciously glanced at the half-human-tall three-legged and two-eared bronze square tripod in front of him, and the corner of his eyes twitched: "So this Killing God Ding is actually a legendary god artifact!"
After that, I saw that he grabbed the two big ears of the three-legged bronze Fang Ding with both hands, and then luckily used his arms to slam his force, but unfortunately, Fang Ding seemed to be embedded in the ground, and did not move.
The bronze square tripod, which seems to be no more than half a person high, weighs more than 10,000 catties.
"Don't waste your efforts," Xiao Qingyi kindly reminded: "Unless the artifact after the god is sealed is to take the initiative to recognize the master, even if you have the cultivation of the god transformation period, you can't even think of moving it." ”
At this time, I suddenly saw that the round-faced girl Xue Ling suddenly stretched out her little head, and said smartly: "It is said that it only takes a drop of blood to make the artifact recognize the owner, bad guy, Mr. Xiao, everyone might as well give it a try, hehe, maybe we can bring one or two artifacts back!"
