Chapter 125: Wraith Sacrifice
Let's turn the wheel of time back to the first year of the Underworld, seven years before Pony traveled into this world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that time, the Xie Lunxiu Continent could be divided into "One Palace" and "Seven Towns" according to the region.
"One palace" is the Hades Palace, and the Hades Palace is divided into the main palace and the twelve halls, the main palace is held by the king of the waves, and the twelve halls are held by the twelve hall masters.
Therefore, the Hades Palace is not a simple building, but the settlement area of all the sassy nobles, after a long period of precipitation and cultural reproduction, there are continuous and magnificent palace-style buildings, there are lush and dense woods and flowers, there are also twists and turns, long and complicated streets and alleys, in short, the Hades Palace is the ultimate embodiment of the prosperity and prosperity of the entire Xie Lunxiu.
However, tonight, due to the fact that the seventeen-year-old lord of the Hades Palace, Yi Yun, was seriously ill and was about to die, the vast Xie Lun Xiu Hades Palace was already dead silent at this time, and even the twelve halls of the Hades Palace, which were brightly lit at night, were also empty, and only the beast spirit ---- Qingdi who was guarding the hall was lying in front of the temple door with a yawn.
Yiyun's short seventeen-year life not only failed to bring the Sa Lan clan on the road to prosperity, but also provoked the invasion of the Hitomi Sea Demon Spirit, so that the Xie Lun Xiu Hades Palace was stormy, and the life of the Sa Lan clan spirit was miserable, and even the pointer of Tianyan had been seriously skewed, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before the balance was broken.
You must know that balance is the law of this world, and when the hands of the day are seriously skewed, it also indicates that a dynasty is about to fall and a new era is coming.
In addition to the Hades Palace, the "Seven Towns" of Xie Lunxiu include: Jialan, Xinluo, Kunyu, Nanke, Anji, Qingguangtong and Fengxian County.
Among them, Fengxian County is the closest one to the Hades Palace, from here to the Hades Palace is only ten miles, although it is not as magnificent and magnificent as many buildings in the Hades Palace, but in the hearts of any Sao Lan people, this town has the most sacred status, because there is an ancient well here, and the name of the well is Qianxi.
Like the Pure Spirit Lake of the Immortal Heaven, the Mirror Garden of Zixuan, and the Demon Field of the Pupil Sea, the Ancient Well Thousand Silk Threads is one of the only four remaining sources of destiny in this world.
The so-called source of destiny is the source of life.
At the beginning of the life of the Sa Lan soul, it is just a handful of Genghong in a thousand threads, and only after the derivation can Genghong condense the fetus, and the fetal shape gradually develops and grows up, in order to become the real Sa Lan soul.
In other words, the entire Sa Lan clan poured out of the ancient well, and Fengxian County was the birthplace of all the Sa Lan spirits. So of course, this town and this ancient well occupy an absolutely transcendent position in the hearts of the entire Xie Lunxiu Continent and all the people of Salan.
......
The dark clouds covered the sky, the curtain was like a curtain in front of the bright moon, rendering the early winter night of Xie Lun Xiu particularly bleak, a pipit crow hung listlessly on the branches of the mulberry, inadvertently fluttering and fluttering bone wings, making two wails, the sound spread, adding a bit of sadness to the huge Xie Lunxiu.
Tonight, the small town of Fengxian County gathered almost the entire upper echelons of Xie Lunxiu, and the human spirits waited around the ancient well, and the scene was silent and solemn.
"Look, the light is starting to flicker, it's getting dimmer!
A dirty sassy human spirit on the outermost periphery said excitedly while pulling the arm of his companion next to him.
His voice was actually not loud, but around the silent Qiansilu, this sentence still spread far away, and it also lifted the spirits of many people, and they all held their breath and locked their eyes on the dazzling light at the mouth of the well.
Legend has it that when the Lord of Hades dies, his soul will turn into light, and no matter what he has done in life, he will be revealed in the light of his soul after death.
At this moment, above the mouth of the Qiansi Well in Fengxian County, there is a cluster of dazzling light, the dazzling light comes from the Hades Palace, it is the soul light of the Lord of the Hades Palace who is coming to the end of his life, and the dazzling light is constantly changing in the picture, which is the various things that Yi Yun has experienced in this short life.
From the baby with a smile blooming like a flower in swaddling clothes, to the kind little girl when she released the loach at the age of seven, to the stubborn girl who resolutely pardoned the Hitomi Siren Spirit at the age of fifteen in front of the twelve hall masters in the main hall of the Hades Palace...... Yi Yun's life in just seventeen years has been repeated in the light and rhyme.
Fucheng Hedan was the closest to the mouth of the well, followed by the lords of the twelve halls of the Hades Palace and other nobles, and then the ordinary spirits on the periphery.
Fu Cheng is the minister who assists the king of Sa Lan, and is also the teacher of the king of Sa Lan, with a respected status and great power.
Hedan was a silver-bearded and white-haired old man with a slightly withered figure, and although the years had robbed him of his former glory, it had also increased his wisdom, cunning, and composure.
Herdan had experienced the nightmare sacrifices of the two kings of the Waves and witnessed the crossing of the two new kings, and now, for the third time, this Hades assistant has been given the same mission.
At this moment, he was also staring at the top of the well with a solemn expression, looking at the gradually fading soul light, and his heart must have been surging.
In the light, you can vaguely see that the young Yi Yun is crying loudly in the arms of a white-haired old man, and this white-haired old man is at this moment, standing quietly by the well.
When the nightmare festival ends, the soul light hovering at the mouth of the well finally disappears, and a new handful of Genghong will emerge from the thousand threads, and the human soul that the new Genghong will descend from in the future, which will be the new leader of the entire Xie Lunxiu Hades Palace and even all the souls of the Sa Lan clan, that is, the king of Sa Lan.
At this moment, almost all the eyes and minds of the people were focused on the mouth of the well, paying attention to the increasingly dim dazzling light, so at this time, no one could notice that at the same time that the dazzling light stopped flickering and completely disappeared, far away in another small town in the southeast of the Xie Lunxiu continent, ---- Jialan, there was a skinny dirty girl in a dark corner, and finally suffered the last trace of pain and stopped breathing forever.
The breeze sent a little coolness to Fengxian County, which was already late at night, and beside the ancient and mysterious thousand threads, the human spirits were silent and expectant, all holding their breath and staring.
The old Sa Lan human spirit frowned tightly, and the palm of the cane was already oozing sweat, although the villain spirit was ignorant, but the solemn atmosphere also made them extra serious.
I don't know how much time has passed since the end of the self-mare festival, but what is puzzling is that the ancient well that should have gushed out Genghong has not moved at all, which makes the long-awaited human spirits very incomprehensible, so there is gradually a little commotion among the human spirits.
"No, why don't you start yet?"
"Yes, it's been so long, it's long overdue to squirt out a new Genghong, even if it's a new king......"
"Isn't there a ......?"
"Impossible, isn't there no new king in the Hades Palace, impossible, impossible......"
The outermost human spirits were the first to start whispering, and the whispering was getting more and more whispering, spreading to the middle and the wellhead, until finally, the entire Fengxian County finally formed a noisy one.
