Volume 1 Chapter 19 The Tai Sui Altar
The girl in a red dress said to Zhang Jiu Ye: "Sure enough, your wisp of 'sword qi' is not overwhelmed by Tai Sui in this dream of the sleeping king. ”
Overwhelming?
As if to understand Zhang's doubts about staying up late, Hong Jiang said: "Do you know this Tai Sui's dream, what is this so-called dream of the sleeping king?" It's literal, but it's much more than that. ”
“…… It is the materialization of Tai Sui's dream, which is both real and beyond reality, and also false, but false in falsehood. ”
Zhang stayed up late and nodded, "I don't understand." ”
"I'll open this iron prison now, and you get out of the way a little."
The girl put her hands behind her back, paced to the side, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I met you, I am afraid that these lantern shakers will forget me here." ”
The wisp of chaotic sword qi split the cage that imprisoned the two of them, and Zhang Jiu Ye turned around and said confused, "Since you are a monk of the Heavenly Prison Division, why don't you escape by yourself?" ”
The girl tilted her head, blinked strangely and smiled: "In the dream of the Sleeping King, the ordinary magic power was suppressed by the Great Dao in this dream and could not be used. So, now I'm a mortal with a slight fist. ”
Zhang stayed up and nodded, the two of them stood in the narrow and dark cave tunnel, one winding towards the ground, and the other leading ruggedly to the top, Zhang stayed up and asked, "Do you know the road?" Where do we go? You say that this is the altar of the Shaking Lantern Sect, and they also worship Tai Sui in this Tai Sui dream? ”
"That's right, the way the Wandering God Cultists sacrifice to the heavenly throne is strange, but the few who worship Tai Sui are all sacrificing flesh and pain, which is very boring. In Tai Sui's boundless dreams, it is said that he sometimes wakes up to the sacrifices of his devotees and gives his gaze...... As for the road, just go down, this group of Youshen Sect who are hiding in Tibet have always liked to build altars and strongholds underground, so that they can hide and hide, like rats, a habit developed since ancient times, and I guess it will probably be no exception in this dream of the sleeping king. ”
Zhang stayed up all night and asked curiously: "From Tai Sui's projection?" So what happens? ”
"How do I know, maybe I'm dead."
Hongjiang looked around, turned around and walked in the direction of the winding underground, and the young man hurriedly followed.
There was hardly any light in the long, narrow tunnel that winded and deep, but the girl and the boy walked as fast as they could through the crooked and dark tunnel. But soon Zhang stayed up all night and felt the pain, this Hongjiang didn't know if there was no one to talk to all the year round, he caught him at this time, and talked all the way, even if the girl's voice was crisp and good, she couldn't help but feel a little noisy on the way forward in this long darkness.
But the girl didn't know whether those words were true or not, and he was a little irritable when he heard them, but he couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.
"Zhang stayed up late, do you know how to wake up from this dream? Quite simply, you die here, and as long as your physical body is still alive, you can wake up. However, according to the records in the treasury of the Heavenly Prison, the followers of Tai Sui received the gaze of Tai Sui in the dream of the Sleeping King, and when they died, they could not wake up, and they would become a part of Him. ”
“…… And the true body of Tai Sui, covering the sky and the sun like a huge magnificence, its sex is stupid and stupid, with the will to reproduce and grow infinitely, some people say that Tai Sui, the wandering god, has no ill will towards the world, but there are also records on the contrary, it has caused a catastrophe in the world for thousands of years...... It is said that Tai Sui's real body has 10,000 hands, 10,000 eyes, and 10,000 mouths...... No, there seems to be a predecessor in the file of the Heavenly Supervisor who wrote 20,000 mouths, and almost everyone who saw it was crazy. But when I read this, I still don't understand how people who read it are crazy, so how did they count it? ”
“…… Did you know that the Lamp Shaker Sect also worships Nabayu? However, they seldom sacrificed the throne of the serpent, and it was said that they feared Him very much, and only dared to worship Him in secret, but the funny thing is that the Lamp Shaking Sect was disabled for these blind people, and most of the people's magical powers came from the snake god. ”
“…… The Ghost Sect and the Sick Master Hall are also worshipping Tai Sui, but the Shaking Lamp Sect and the Ward Sect have been sworn enemies since ancient times, and when they meet, you can see these two groups of neuropaths beating each other and bleeding all over the field, but it's fun, but the group of monks who raise centipedes in their stomachs in the Sick Master Hall are the most eccentric, both believing in Buddhism and believing in Tai Sui, and they have never been like these two people who pull people around the world to preach and join the religion. ”
"Zhang stays up late, you know ......"
The young man couldn't help but interrupt: "Red Girl! Don't say it, we don't know what we're going to encounter in their altar next, and you can't even cast your magic spells now, what if we happen to be seen by Tai Sui? What will happen? I don't want to be part of a wanderer...... By the way, we've been walking underground for half an hour, how deep is this broken cavern? Why is it not the end yet? ”
Hongjiang didn't reply, "It should be soon, listen carefully." ”
Zhang stayed up all night without speaking, calmed down and listened, and really faintly heard a strange tone, as if music was being played from a long distance, but it was an instrumental music that he had never heard before, and it was even difficult to call it music, because it was purely a tone full of an indescribable awkwardness and incongruity, which made people extremely uncomfortable to listen to.
After a few incense sticks, the tunnel suddenly opened, and then a huge stone door that Zhang had never seen after staying up all night was quietly open, as if welcoming the two who came to disturb him.
From a distance, this stone gate is like a vertical white line, abruptly cutting off the entire leyline. The stone door was carved with strange carvings, and it wasn't until Zhang stayed up all night and approached Hongjiang that the young man found that there were countless tentacles on it, giving people a strong sense of discomfort.
The two people in front of the stone gate are like two ants in front of the tombstone.
This is the altar of the Burning Lamp? Could it be that the carving on this door is Tai Sui? The young man looked up at the stone gate that led straight into the darkness overhead, and then suppressed a certain fear in his mind that he didn't know whether he was shocked or couldn't explain the reason, and followed Hongjiang through the stone gate, which was so huge that it would take him about dozens of breaths to walk, and then he heard the strange sound of the huge sound in his ears.
With a sudden opening up in front of me.
Zhang stayed up all night and found that this was an amazingly large underground space, with dozens of huge bronze pillars hundreds of zhang high connecting the heavens and the earth, and distributed in a huge circle on the underground square, among which there was a square of several hundred meters, there was a huge bronze tripod like a temple, and there was a writhing piece of flesh entrenched in the ding, from which countless slender roots stretched out, lingering in the air, shaking indiscriminately.
On a circle of steps around the bronze tripod, there are more than a dozen lantern shaking sects dressed in colored robes, raising their hands in front of the bronze tripod, chanting words in their mouths, and on the square on the side, at this moment, hundreds of ragged worshippers are kneeling and worshipping in an orderly manner under the guidance of those people on the steps.
Zhang stayed up all night and was used to seeing blood in the pit, and at this moment he looked down at the inexplicable flesh and blood in the bronze tripod in the center of the square in the distance, and still felt a trace of nausea, he asked, "Is that Tai Sui?" ”
Hongjiang frowned, "It should be a small piece of flesh and blood left by Tai Sui, according to the records of the department's literature, Tai Sui's throne has an infinite instinct to grow and derive, and every moment there is endless flesh and blood to metamorphose, replaced by a new body, I always thought that this was written by the predecessors of the past generations who drank too much, it seems that it is impossible to be true." Let's take a closer look. ”
The young man said, "Wait a minute. ”
Zhang stayed up all night looking at the kneeling sect members in the square in the distance, closed his eyes and moved his mind, and then handed the tattered robe in his hand that was no different from the sect members in the square to the girl.
Hong Jiang took the robe and stared at Zhang Staying up all night, "I can actually think in the dream of the sleeping king, this is really just a gift that can only be obtained by Tai Sui's family members or sacrifices at a sufficient price." ”
Zhang had already put on that robe, hiding his emaciated face in a hood.
"What do you mean, this wisp of sword qi I met in that catacomb, is Tai Sui's dependent?"
The girl also put on her robe and slowly walked down the stone steps to the square.
"It's not impossible, but it's not quite like, Tai Sui's throne is different from those two, although it is a supreme existence, but the spiritual wisdom seems to be limited, and the style of action of these many wandering gods in the world often has some of the styles of the throne they believe in, the one you meet...... Seems too smart. ”
Zhang stayed up late and was dumbfounded for a while.
The two of them had quietly reached the edge of the square, hidden in the shadows cast by the towering bronze pillars in front of them.
The girl in the shadows, a red dress was dyed purple with a scarf, and she said softly: "See, my magic weapon is in the hands of that blind man." ”
Zhang stayed up all night to look carefully, and then found that it seemed that the lantern shaking sect on the Tai Sui altar was all blind.
The young man was helpless, "Aren't all blind people taught by these lanterns, which one?" ”
The girl stared directly at the figure in front of the bronze tripod with her arms raised towards the people underground, "In front of the tripod, there is an elephant six hanging around his neck." ”
Zhang stayed up all night and looked intently at the words, and on the steps a few hundred steps away, a tall man in a silk coat, his face was covered with rugged and hideous scars, and in front of his open placket, a fist-sized dice was hanging.
"That's the Elder of the Shaking Lantern Sect who fought you before? No, why does he have eyes!? ”
Rao is Zhang stayed up late and was born with excellent eyesight, and after cultivating the nameless technique taught by Hongjiang, the five senses climbed another step, but after all, it was too far away, and this underground space was extremely dark, and he could only vaguely see the man's cheekbones towering with strange scars on his face, and something seemed to be flowing slowly in a pair of cloudy eyes.
"Do you know why the people of the Shaking Lantern Sect all gouge out their eyes and sacrifice them to Tai Sui?" Hongjiang didn't wait for the teenager to respond, and said softly, "...... It is a sacrifice, but in fact it is also a plea, and they hope to see the world with the eyes given by Tai Sui. ”
With the girl's words, the man in front of the bronze giant on the steps, his cloudy eyes turned around, and met Zhang's gaze, and then showed a treacherous smile.
