Chapter 108: The Bone Scepter
How did a Qi countryman who looked thin and weak become the Khan of the grassland for some reason?
Could it be that he used evil spells to influence the minds of shamans, causing them to be forced to make such a counterintuitive decision?
But because the shamans are the spokesmen of the wolf god in the mortal world, and they have always had a high prestige in the grassland, no one dares to continue to think in this direction.
What's more, at this moment, the statue of the wolf god projected a brilliant light, covering Gu Xu's body, making him look holy and majestic, like an immortal who came to the world to inspect the world with a thousand rays of light.
Everyone looked at each other with complicated eyes.
Then he also followed the shamans, knelt down in front of Gu Xu, and shouted long live in a daze.
The most embarrassing of them all is undoubtedly Harabar.
He could never have imagined that the object he once wanted to rob would be transformed into the embodiment of the gods and the king of the grassland.
And it's different from the previous Khans.
Gu Xu didn't need to defeat all his competitors, nor did he need to kneel in front of the idol and pray for the shaman to crown him.
Instead, the shamans begged him to be the khan.
He himself even looked a little reluctant.
Harabar sighed silently.
He knew very well that now, the position of Khan that he had always dreamed of was no longer with him.
But maybe it's because Gu Xu left a deep psychological shadow on him in the previous battle.
For Gu Xu, he was not the slightest bit jealous or unconvinced, but felt more and more doubts and worries.
On the one hand, he was curious about why the great wolf god would choose a Qi country to be the leader of the grassland people.
On the other hand, he was worried that after Gu Xu became the khan, he would still remember the revenge of being robbed before and give himself small shoes to wear.
But Harabar was clearly overthinking.
Because now Gu Xu doesn't care about him at all.
"This broken crown is particularly heavy," Gu Xu looked at these steppe barbarians in front of him who knelt in front of him willingly or reluctantly, and secretly complained in his heart, "The necks of those khans in the past should have been made of steel!" β
The golden crown that the shaman forcibly pressed on his head weighed at least four or five pounds, and weighed down on his neck, as if if he would swell and fall to the ground like a big stone as soon as he lowered his head slightly.
He had to quietly use the True Yuan to relieve the pressure a little and barely hold it in his head.
Then his attention shifted to the bone cane.
Although this cane is very ugly and does not conform to the aesthetics of the Central Plains people at all, but with the authority of the "Mandate of Heaven", he can perceive that there is a causal relationship between it and the giant wolf statue behind him and all the "wolf people" on the grassland.
His intuition told him that the secret of the sudden increase in combat power of the khans after receiving the "Blessing of the Wolf God" was hidden in this cane.
He closed his eyes and let a wisp of his consciousness sink into his staff.
In an instant, it was as if a hundred rivers flowed into the sea, and the power of the incense on the grassland converged on the palm of his hand.
At the same time, a wisp of invisible and untouchable remnant soul also floated down from the statue, silently merging with the beast-like power of the flood.
The other steppe khans may think that this wisp of remnant soul is just a gift from the great wolf god.
But Gu Xu knew very well that this remnant soul was the body of the "Wolf God".
The wolf dog named "Yuanbao" raised by Emperor Ziwei back then, in order to collect as much incense as possible, became a model worker in the god world, and did not hesitate to repeatedly dispatch the deity, descend "miracles", and fight side by side with believers.
And at this moment, when its former owner returned to it, it showed unprecedented excitement, and was eager to immediately behave well, so that the owner could see how much strength it had improved in recent years.
It's a pity that there is no enemy in front of Gu Xu who can show his skills.
Gu Xu also wanted to test the power of this white bone cane.
He raised his staff and pointed to the sky, and the golden divine thunder that Emperor Tianxing summoned over Luojing City on the day of the "Luoshui Conference" came to his mindβit was the strongest move he had ever seen.
Today's sky is clear and clean, like a sapphire that is not stained with dust.
But as Gu Xu's mind moved, it was as if the heavenly soldiers and generals wielded their broadswords to cut an exaggerated scratch on this sapphire, and a dazzling lightning bolt appeared out of thin air in the rumbling thunder, splitting the entire sky in two.
Almost all of them had a momentary halt in their heartbeat.
Then Gu Xu's staff tip moved down slightly.
Golden lightning fell from the sky, like the Milky Way that had fallen for nine days, and fell on a mountain hundreds of meters away from the Holy Mountain.
In an instant, cracks stretched out on the top of the hill, widening and widening rapidly, and with a deafening loud noise and a violent tremor of the earth, the hill crumbled and became a tumbling pile of earth and rubble.
"Is this the power of the saint level?" Gu Xu sighed silently in his heart.
Although the power of this lightning was far less than the power of the Heavenly Tribulation controlled by Emperor Tianxing that day, it was enough to make everyone present stunned and frightened.
He couldn't help but think that if he had possessed this white bone scepter as early as when Jing Cheng was on the run, then not only would he not be injured in embarrassment, but he would also have the opportunity to kill all the officials of the Great Qi who were chasing him.
"Don't think too much," the white-haired young man in the consciousness world suddenly spoke, interrupting Gu Xu's thoughts, "With Yuanbao's current ability, at most, he can only use the power of incense to make a fortune on the grassland." Leaving the steppe, it's not even a fart. β
Gu Xu nodded, thinking that it should indeed be so.
Otherwise, the northwest barbarians would not be confined to the grassland for a long time, and could only fight a small battle on the border line of Daqi, and it would be difficult to drive straight into the city and conquer the city.
At this time, Gu Xu suddenly felt a dizziness in his head, his eyes turned black, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
Only then did he realize that in order to unleash this powerful golden thunder, he had overdrawn his true element, and even his body had become weak.
"It seems that with my current cultivation, such a move can only be used once at most, and after using it, it will lose the ability to fight," he thought, "and it can only be used to save my life in a critical moment." β
Then he bowed his head slightly, showing a casual appearance, and looked at the shaman kneeling in front of him: "I'm tired. β
"I'll take you to the tent to rest." The white-haired old woman immediately stood up and responded.
After witnessing the earth-shattering thunder, she became more and more in awe of Gu Xu, the "god incarnation", and only dared to lead the way respectfully in front of her, and did not dare to look him in the eyes anymore.
