This altar was not built by the Worms, and has a distinct Southern Continent style, while the Wormmen's style is biased towards the South Seas and the Central Plains, and is generally deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture.

Qi Xuansu walked up to the altar and found that there was also a black sun above the altar, which only felt unexpected and reasonable.

He really guessed correctly, Paitti was indeed related to the Tide of Shadows.

Qi Xuansu took out the key from Ramon and held it high.

There was no reaction from the altar.

It seems that this key is not used here.

Qi Xuansu had no choice but to put away the key and began to study what this altar was for.

At this time, Wu Niang had already burned those figurines.

As for the large number of corpses piled up outside, Wu Niang did not move. When the number of corpses reaches a certain level, a kind of "momentum" will be formed, just as after the number of living people reaches a certain level, the blood will soar to the sky, and the camp of the army will be a ghost and a god. It's just that the dead condense yin, not blood.

However, the yin qi should not be underestimated, and the ghost country cave was too heavy in the yin qi back then, and it corroded a gap leading to the netherworld. This made Daomen spend more than 200 years dealing with the problem of the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven, planting Emperor Willow, and cleaning up the corpses with the three major Yin Things.

Although it is not comparable to the Ghost Country Cave Heaven here, if Wu Niang wants to forcibly burn it, it will inevitably consume a huge amount. It is true that Wu Niang likes to burn things, but in Wu Niang's opinion, these corpses that have become "potential" are obviously non-combustible, and burning corpses is similar to burning mountains and boiling seas, and it is in vain to make efforts, so let's stay here.

Qi Xuansu soon discovered some mysteries of this altar, which was carved with blood grooves on its surface, which were crisscrossed and formed into things similar to talismans or runes, which should be activated after injecting blood into these blood grooves.

With such a large altar and blood troughs all over the altar, the amount of blood required can be imagined, even if the blood of a living person is drained, it will not be able to fill a blood trough, and I am afraid that it will take many people to do it.

However, it doesn't take as many as 10,000 people, and the corpses outside should not have died from sacrifice. With a blood sacrifice of more than 10,000 people, the ancient gods were not afraid of eating, but they were afraid that the karmic fire would burn the kingdom of God.

Wufu can be derived from flesh and blood, of course Qi Xuansu has enough qi and blood, but qi and blood are also the support of martial arts' combat power, and a lot of food is needed to replenish it, and Qi Xuansu can't put his own blood, and in the end Qi Xuansu still decided to replace blood with divine power.

Otherwise, divine power is hard currency, and its plasticity determines that it can be transformed into almost any form and used for various purposes.

After Qi Xuansu injected divine power, the entire altar really lit up, and those blood grooves were filled with the light of divine power, turning into the lines of runes, Westerners call this rune, no matter what it is called, it is almost the same in nature. Then the talismans are arranged and combined one by one, and they form a array.

In an instant, the entire underground space began to rumble, as if the ground was moving.

The dead corpses outside also came to life at this moment, as if the hibernating snakes and insects were awakened by the spring thunder, and staggered up, of course, not really resurrected from the dead, but like corpses, and then these living corpses rushed towards the altar in one go.

At this time, Wu Niang also had to burn, and when she opened her mouth and spit out, the flames swept away, burning the part of the living corpse that rushed in first directly into ashes.

That's not all, Wu Niang puffed out her mouth, and the flames spit out from her mouth were endless, turning into a wave of flames, and she actually pushed back against the tide of corpses.

Some people have read too much of the book, and they think that 10,000 people is a small number. It's a big fallacy, the so-called more than 10,000 people, boundless, more than 10,000 people lined up in a phalanx, there is a feeling that you can't see the end at a glance.

With 100,000 soldiers, it is basically the limit of a battlefield. A large battle, of course, can accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops, or even millions of troops, but a battle is composed of multiple battlefields, large and small, some defending the city, some besieging the city, some rescuing, some blocking, and the reserves do not move, scattered everywhere, instead of a million people gathered in one place, that can't even expand the formation.

In this cave, tens of thousands of corpses have been piled up, and now they have turned into a tide of corpses, which were originally piled up, layer upon layer

, now alive, basically the cave is crowded. As far as the eye can see, there are living corpses everywhere.

This kind of scene is very terrifying, if you have a "Taishang perspective", you will see that there are basically two tides colliding, one is the tide of flames, and the other is the tide of corpses.

If it is an ordinary corpse, no matter how many there are, it will also be burned through by Wu Niang, but these living corpses have become a "potential", brewing a large amount of yin qi, which can greatly weaken the power of the offset flames. This is also the reason why Qi Xuansu found that these corpses did not decompose when he came in, and with the protection of yin qi, it was difficult for Wu Niang to break through at once, so he could only burn slowly. For Wu Niang, it is not difficult, but it is time-consuming and energy-consuming, as if using fire to burn some damp leaves, you can't light it, and you can't use it as fuel, you can only use other fuels to burn.

This is the same as the ghost country cave sky, after the yin qi reaches a certain level, many means will not work, and can only start from weakening the yin qi, and weakening the yin qi mainly depends on the yang qi of the world itself. As long as the source of yin is blocked, the yang energy itself can cancel each other out with the yin energy, and if the speed is not fast enough, it can also be channeled and divided, similar to flood discharge.

Using the emperor willow to block the cracks in the underworld and cleaning up the corpses at the same time are all to block the source of yin qi, not to eliminate yin qi. The elimination of yin qi still relies on yang qi, similar to many diseases that rely on self-healing most of the time.

Of course, Yin Qi is not formed in a day, first of all, it takes a large number of dead people, secondly, it takes a certain amount of time, and then it also needs a closed environment to prevent Yin Qi from leaking out, so that a large amount of Yin Qi can be accumulated, and this cave just meets the conditions.

Now it seems that it may be that the yin qi here has formed a balance, so these dead corpses are suppressed, like a pool of stagnant water, and when Qi Xuansu opens the altar, causing the yin qi to be unbalanced, these suppressed corpses will be resurrected.

Qi Xuansu didn't care about Wu Niang's side, his attention was all focused on the altar.

After being infused with divine power, the altar underwent a great change, and the black sun slowly disappeared, replaced by a golden sun.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but it just corresponds to the changes in the cave at this time, as if the dark corpse tide of the black sun is retreating, as if the flame tide of the golden sun is soaring.

With the appearance of the golden sun, a portal slowly opened on the stone wall behind the altar. Qi Xuansu also swept the vicinity with his divine thoughts before, but he didn't know if it was the interference of the surrounding yin qi or the barrier of the altar, but he didn't find the existence of this portal.

Qi Xuansu said hello to Wu Niang and walked into the door first.

Behind the portal is a passage, there are obvious artificial traces, very regular, and become all the way up, when Qi Xuansu walked out of the passage, his eyes suddenly opened up, and he returned to the valley.

However, compared with the other side, some traces of masonry paving can be seen on the ground here, and there are even some traces similar to curb stones on both sides, but the surrounding rainforest covers the sky, and it is absolutely impossible to find these traces from above.

This is supposed to be one of the many paths leading to the altar, or rather, from the point of view of the Paittiti, this portal is the main entrance to the area where the altar is located, and the entrance to the cave that Qi Xuansu found should belong to the back door.

Qi Xuansu understood that his hard work these days was not in vain, and he finally found the traces of Payiti.

After a while, Wu Niang also followed: "The dirty things in the cave have been cleaned up, and they almost exhausted me to death, remember to go back and reimburse me for my divine power."

Qi Xuansu glanced at Wu Niang: "Aren't you able to cultivate on your own?"

Wu Niang said, "I can also use divine power, do you think you can use anything? You kid don't want to reimburse me, do you?"

Qi Xuansu hurriedly said, "Of course not, when you go back, you make a symbolic report, and I will approve it immediately."

While speaking, Qi Xuansu calculated how much money he had left on hand, whether it was enough for the two of them. If it is not enough, it is also a troublesome thing to find a real person to approve it.

"That's pretty much it." Wu Niang muttered, "This is my tolerance, not a private matter."

Next, the two of them walked along this ancient road that was about to be submerged in the barren grass, and the speed was not very fast, for fear of missing some key clues.

Sure enough

However, the two of them were justified in their caution, and on the way they found a temple that was already covered with green vegetation, and it was easy to ignore it if they swept by. However, the layout of the temple is not the same as the current Tawanting Temple, which is also normal, the architectural style of the Central Plains has also undergone several changes, the ancestral dragon era and the Great Wei era have been very different, and when the Daomen is in power, there have been changes.

This temple, this ancient way, and the altar built in the cave should be one. It was likely that the cavern was a temple or a secret passageway. Qi Xuansu came in backwards.

The gate of the temple has been completely covered by vines, Qi Xuansu tore off the vines and broke into the door, and found that the ground here, as well as on the walls, were painted with golden sun patterns, which should be the temple of the sun god. However, the main god is not Kukulkan, but Itsamu.

From this point of view, during the time of Payiti, the power of the ancient gods of the north had already penetrated into the south, which laid the foundation for the ancient gods of the north to go south in the future. If it weren't for the invasion of the Holy Court, perhaps the ancient gods of the north would have unified the New World, but Itsumna, the main god, was so exhausted and painstakingly managed, and in the end it was difficult to escape the fate of death, but Kukulkan sat back and enjoyed the success, which inevitably reminded people of a person who swore by Luoshui.

Then again, what does the black sun mean on the altar? The black sun is closed, and the golden sun is open?

Could it be that these ancient gods also pay attention to the transformation of yin and yang? Old Yin gives birth to less Yang, this is the term of Taoism.

Wu Niang looked left and right, and suddenly said, "There is something."

After that, Wu Niang's figure flashed, and she went behind the statue of Itsumna, and when Wu Niang came back, she still had someone in her hand.

To be precise, it was a woman's corpse, judging by its dress, it should be the priest of this temple, and it was quite high, as can be seen from the various floral decorations on her mask. Wu Niang stretched out her hand to uncover the mask on the corpse, and it turned out to be the appearance of the Central Plains underneath.

Qi Xuansu and Qi Niang glanced at each other, both a little surprised.

Could it be the people of Xidaomen?
