3. Chapter 3 The Ritual of Worshipping the Gods

It was late at night, and Xiao Bai returned home. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

For many years, the mother and son have relied on each other in the Xiao family, and their lives are extremely poor, and there is nothing superfluous at home except for the daily furnishings.

"Where have you been so late?" asked her mother Xiao Xueqing with concern, she was naturally beautiful, although she was over thirty years old, she still had a beautiful face, and there was not a trace of wrinkles on her fair and radiant face.

"I went out of town to relax. Xiao Bai said indifferently, after knowing the condition of his divine vein, his mood was already much better.

Xiao Xueqing's face changed slightly, and she said hesitantly: "Have you seen ...... Xiao Wei?"

Xiao Bai nodded, Xiao Xueqing's expression was complicated, and after a while, she said: "Xiao Wei went home to visit relatives this morning, and she will leave tomorrow, alas, she happened to meet me when she came back, I told her about your situation, she looked indifferent and didn't care about you, I knew at that time that Xiao Wei was no longer the little girl who used to turn behind your buttocks...... "Xiao Xueqing paused, and comforted: "Bai'er, you don't have to be too sad." “

"Mother, I'm not sad at all...... Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Xueqing calmly, "This incident made me recognize her clearly." “

"It's best if you think like this......" Xiao Xueqing was afraid that her son would not be sincere, so she paused again and asked, "Will you participate in tomorrow's god sacrifice ceremony?" Maybe at that time, Xiao Wei hadn't left yet. “

Xiao Bai said: "Mother, are you afraid that I will fail to awaken the divine vein again, and be even more hit by Xiao Wei's sights, don't you worry, I really won't suffer any more because of her, whether I fail or not, I will participate, not to mention, I won't fail again this time." Xiao Bai's eyes were as bright as stars.

Xiao Xueqing looked at her son in a daze, and suddenly found that her son seemed to have grown up overnight.

......

The ceremony of sacrificing to the gods is a major event of the Xiao family, and after each ceremony, the family can have a few more warriors, so that the strength of the Xiao family will increase a little.

This time the god worship ceremony was even more lively than in previous years, because the Xiao family's awakening of the Heavenly Pride of the Seven Rank Divine Vein, Xiao Wei, the first person in Yanyu City to be admitted to the East Pole Martial Palace in nearly five hundred years, was back! Everyone wanted to come and see her style. At the god sacrifice ceremony, usually only a veteran figure will have a seat in front of the god altar, but Xiao Wei was directly arranged a seat next to the god sacrifice platform this time, which shows her transcendent status.

Xiao Jinnian was a vassal by her side, constantly offering courtesy and flattery.

In addition to the patriarch Xiao Zhen of the Xiao family, there are also four elders who have a high status in the clan and manage affairs together with the patriarch.

Xiao Jinnian is the son of the Great Elder Xiao Tianba, because Xiao Zhen has something important to go out, this ceremony was presided over by the Great Elder Xiao Tianba, who directly arranged a deputy seat for Xiao Jinnian beside Xiao Wei, the intention is obvious, if the marriage between Xiao Jinnian and Xiao Wei is matched, it will naturally be a great honor for Xiao Tianba.

In the middle of the wide and solemn altar is a huge stone plate, the middle of the stone plate is low and the sides are high, shaped like a funnel, and around the stone plate, a circle of blood-red and full fruits is placed.

This fruit is called the Blood God Fruit, which can greatly replenish the body's qi and blood, and is also an excellent sacrifice for the gods.

Great Elder Xiao Tianba is a man with a strong figure, and at this moment, he is high on the altar of the gods, and said in a majestic voice: "Please come to the stage of the young people who participated in the god sacrifice ceremony this time. “

A group of young men and women walked up, Xiao Bai walked last, and as soon as he stepped on the altar, the audience immediately made a sound of ridicule and mockery.

"Look, this waste is actually here again! Xiao Bai has participated in the god worship ceremony for the ninth time this year, which is really making history. “

"Yes, no matter how mediocre the qualifications are, a person can awaken the divine vein at most three times in the god worship ceremony, and he has participated in it nine times, I think he not only wants to create history, but also create history endlessly, the tenth, eleventh, twelfth ......"

"In addition, I also heard that he waited for Xiao Wei outside the Sun Viewing Building for several hours yesterday, but Xiao Wei didn't pay attention to him at all. “

"It's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, haha......"

Xiao Bai will be humiliated like this every year when he participates in the god worship ceremony, and in the face of these ridicules, Xiao Bai has long been treated as a dog barking, looking at each other coldly and ignoring it.

Soon, all the seventeen young men and women who participated in the god sacrifice ceremony went to the god altar, except for Xiao Bai, the rest of the teenagers were only twelve years old, petite, only he was a head taller than the others, standing on the god altar looked particularly abrupt, and everyone looked at him with sarcasm.

Xiao Wei heard the ridicule around her, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that she had severed her relationship with Xiao Bai, she was the proud daughter of the sky, how could she have anything to do with this kind of waste?

Xiao Jinnian left first last night, I don't know what Xiao Wei said to Xiao Bai later, I have been haunted, and inquired at this moment: "Wei'er has had a good relationship with Xiao Bai since she was a child, and I also hope that he can awaken the divine vein this time, right?"

Xiao Wei said: "As a member of the Xiao family, I naturally hope that the children of the Xiao family can awaken the divine vein, but in this world, how can everything be as good as they want? “

Xiao Jinnian was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that Xiao Wei really didn't have the slightest affection for Xiao Bai, and echoed with a smile: "Wei'er is right, since some people are waste, how can they awaken the divine vein successfully!?"

The two sat at the bottom of the altar, the voice naturally drifted into Xiao Bai's ears, Xiao Bai's face was expressionless, Xiao Wei at this moment was really a stranger to him, and he would no longer be happy and sad because of her gains and losses. Speaking of which, Xiao Bai still has to thank Xiao Wei, if it weren't for her, how could he run to the mountain late at night and unexpectedly harvest the Time Pagoda?

A moment later, the ceremony officially began, and the four priests stood on the altar, their mouths uttering ancient chantings, and the ethereal voice enveloped several altars, and an elderly priest chanted words in his mouth, his old and craggy fingers dancing in the air, vibrating in circles of fine air ripples.

Under the cutting of the ripples, the blood god fruits placed around the stone plate broke one after another, and the bright red fruit pulp flowed along the stripes on the stone plate to the middle of the stone plate, and the fruit pulp became more and more, and finally merged into a small pool of blood in the middle of the stone plate.

With the high-pitched chanting of the priests, the pool of blood turned into a pillar of blood, rising into the sky and shooting into the gloomy firmament.

Soon, the dense clouds in the sky rolled up like ocean waves, and golden light was projected from the gaps in those clouds, and a beam of light with divine light fell silently like snowflakes and descended on a young man in yellow.

The young man's whole body shook, and a faint pillar of golden light appeared out of thin air above his head, and that was the divine vein!

"Xiao Hong awakens the second-grade divine vein. The old priest graded the grade according to the brightness of the pillar of light.

The higher the level of the divine vein, the higher the talent.

In the small Smoke and Rain City, most martial artists can only awaken one to three rank divine veins, awakening four grades is already considered a good talent, if you awaken the fifth grade divine veins like Xiao Jinnian, then you can become the Xiao family's premier genius. Of course, like Xiao Wei's seven-grade divine vein, which directly crowns the Smoke and Rain City, can be described as a genius among geniuses.

Divine radiance descended on the bodies of the men and women of the Divine Thoughts, and the light around them shone brightly, and the divine veins also lit up above their heads.

"Xiao Xiaohua, a product of the divine vein. “

"Xiao Qiang, Sanpin Divine Vein. “

"Xiao don't let it, the four products of the divine vein. “

......

The old priest constantly judged the level of the divine vein, most of the teenagers were first- to third-grade divine veins, and only one teenager awakened the fourth-grade divine vein, which was immediately cheered by everyone.

At the very least, another beam of light fell on a young man, and the pillar of light above his head was stronger than the divine vein light awakened by all the young men and women before, and at the same time, a complex pattern appeared around the pillar of light, and a ray of flame was faintly visible in the picture.

The old priest squinted at the pattern and said in an uplifting tone, "Xiao Luo, awaken the five-grade divine vein and obtain the Flame Divine Seal!"

Five-grade divine vein, it seems that another genius has appeared in the Xiao family!

The whole square suddenly boiled, the five products and the divine veins above them are extremely powerful divine veins, and while awakening the divine veins, they will also release a special imprint from the inside of the divine veins, which exist in the master's body, bringing some special abilities to the master.

For example, Xiao Jinnian, who awakened the fifth-grade divine vein, obtained the Wind Shadow Divine Seal, which can make him very fast, like the Wind Shadow shuttles, while Xiao Wei, who has the seventh-grade divine vein, obtained the Xuanfrost Divine Seal, which allows her to attack with cold air.

As the young man named Xiao Luo awakened the five-grade divine vein, the divine veins of the sixteen people on the altar had all awakened, leaving only Xiao Bai alone, and the last divine light landed on his body, like a mud cow entering the sea, silently. Everyone was not surprised by this result, because every year, Xiao Bai's ninth awakening failed.

However, just as everyone was laughing at Xiao Bai, the old priest's eyes suddenly widened and he said, "No! he has also awakened the divine vein!!"

Everyone was stunned, and then they realized that Xiao Bai also had a pillar of light suspended above his head, but that pillar of light was too faint, and if there was anything, it was ignored by everyone.

The audience was silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"What grade of divine vein is this!?Such a faint light, there is not even a single product!!"

"Hahaha, it turns out that there is a grade under the first grade, which is really an eye-opener! It seems that in the future, there will be one more grade of the divine vein, which is called the last grade. “

The first-grade divine vein already represents the lowest-talented human race, but Xiao Bai is not even as good as the first-grade, in the hearts of everyone, Xiao Bai's waste impression has not changed at all, but seems to have become a bigger joke.

Xiao Bai was not the slightest surprised, the False Divine Vein was not recorded in so many ancient cultivation classics, how could everyone in the Xiao family know about it? When his Divine Vein grows, it will inevitably surprise the entire Red Dust Continent.

Looking at the ethereal and weak beam of light above his head, Xiao Bai was very excited, he obviously felt the difference, he had a trace of connection with the world, although it was weak, but after all, with the connection, he finally obtained the divine vein, and he could practice! The four-year hard road finally came to an end.

Xiao Jinnian said to Xiao Wei: "Wei'er, look at that waste, he just awakened the last grade divine vein, and he is still proud." “

Xiao Wei didn't speak, but seeing Xiao Bai so unmotivated, she looked down on Xiao Bai even more.

At this moment, the seemingly nonexistent pillar of light above Xiao Bai's head vibrated with a sound, and a complex pattern appeared next to the pillar of light.

This pattern is much more complex than the previous Flame God Seal, and its interior is a deep psychedelic vortex that makes it impossible to see the bottom at a glance.

This...... Could this be the Divine Seal!?

The audience was stunned.
