"Ancestral God?"

Jiang Qian turned his head sideways in confusion, but did not stop: "I haven't heard you mention it before." ”

"If Brother Jiang hadn't rushed to the official at the beginning, I would still have a chance to give you a wake-up call."

Ayiguli sighed regretfully, and looked into the distance with a pair of eyes full of affection:

"But even if you knew, it wouldn't help you compete with the prince." 'Ancestral God' is another name for the sacred mountain, just as 'sacrifice' is another name for the 'prince', the people of the sacred mountain are afraid of the unknown power of the sacred mountain, so they call it a god, and the people of the sacred mountain want to inherit its power, and send the prince to the sacred mountain to obtain gifts in a competitive way. ”

People choose to worship because they can't defeat the powerful unknown force, and if they can't defeat it, they become one, which is the most common way of thinking in the land of China.

Jiang Qian stopped, and Ayiguli also stopped with Jiang Qian's pace.

An opportunity to correct deviations took shape in Jiang Qian's mind:

"Why is 'sacrifice' another name for 'prince'?"

Ayiguli was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect Jiang Qian's attention to be so keen, this was the question she was most reluctant to answer as a saint of the Divine Mountain.

Unfortunately, she was already Jiang Qian's teammate at this time, so she naturally had no reason to refuse this question.

So he avoided the important and said lightly: "Isn't this easy to understand?" Because most of the princes will lose their lives in the competition. The prince who lost his life is no longer the prince, they are just poor victims, so there is a sacrifice to say. ”

Jiang Qian nodded quietly and continued to pace forward.

At the same time, he said: "You said that the ancestral god is another name for the sacred mountain, and the people of the sacred mountain are afraid of the unknown power of the sacred mountain, so they call it a god, there is a logical problem here. ”

"What's the problem?" Ayiguli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she had to cheer up.

"It sounds like the 'ancestral god' refers to an unknown power that exists on the mountain, not the mountain itself, right?"

"No ......"

Ayiguli's expression gradually became solemn:

"The sacred mountain itself is the manifestation of the unknown power...... I know it's hard to understand, and it's hard for me to describe! But the 'ancestral god' is such an existence, which holds all the laws, time, space, elements, phases, cause and effect...... As long as it wants to, no one can escape its curse, and as long as it wants to, everyone's past is at its mercy to be exposed! ”

Speaking of this, Ayiguli suddenly changed her words:

"But you know what? My brother Jiang, the sacred mountain, does not exist in this world! “

Jiang Qianyan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he immediately recovered: "Understood." ”

"Understood?" This time, Ayiguli was puzzled.

"I understand why the licensee has not been able to find out the specific location of Mount Kinabalu officially."

Jiang Qian sighed lightly, and the tone of the answer seemed to be just an observer who stayed out of the matter:

"Because it didn't exist at all, there is no way to trace it, and even if it does, it will not be fruitful. There is no real world in the mountain, only a few people have the interface between the mountain and the real world, and of course these people will not stand still like a mountain, you can transfer and hide as needed, so you can repeatedly avoid official investigation. ”

"Theoretically, as long as your evasive actions are timely, even if others travel all over the west, there will be no gain. Am I right? “

Ayiguli was silent, but her expression betrayed her mind.

"It is precisely because the location of the mountain is not fixed that you must return to the mountain through the old woman and Shajin. But that's what I don't understand. “

Jiang Qian turned to look at Ayiguli, and Ayiguli also looked at Jiang Qian, and the two looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

"You...... What else is not understood? “

Ayiguli regretted asking this sentence!

She didn't want to know what questions Jiang Qian had, because even if she knew, she wouldn't be able to answer them. Not only will it be impossible to answer, but it will also undermine the alliance of interests they have formed at this stage.

The two were silent for a long time, and Jiang Qian smiled:

"Let's go, instead of these, it's better to help me find the second sub first. After winning this competition, we have time to talk about something else. “

Sensitive topics have been diverted in this way.

There are some questions that cannot be judged by the other party until they are clearly understood.

The focus is back on the core contradiction at hand: how to win the current battle for the crown.

It was only at this time that Ayiguli finally asked: "Since you want to get the second sub-chess quickly, won't Brother Jiang release the Beastmaster to assist in the trace?" “

Beastmaster? Forehead...... Jiang Qian said calmly: "I have my own plans for this, just follow me." ”

Ayiguli seemed to understand how to keep up with the pace.

It is rare that the two of them are grasshoppers on the same boat, and during the interval, Jiang Qian has the opportunity to sort out the current clues:

First of all, the realm here is different from the rules of reality, maybe after jumping from the window, this is the territory of the "ancestral god".

And the ancestral god means "unknown power", and it is also the power inherited by the lord of the mountain who won in the end, and no matter how specific it is, even Ayiguli, who is the holy daughter of the mountain, cannot describe it.

Again, the first village and town that wandered away after entering this realm received the hint of the rules of the "chess game", and verified the hint in the following experience, and won the "secondary chess" of the peacock spider Ayiguli.

According to the current observations, according to the normal process, Jiang Qian's journey should be led by the "Beastmaster", but he can easily find the path with only the map left by his father......

Is it a coincidence?

Jiang Qian doesn't think so.

So he had to verify the effectiveness of the map again.

Of course, even if he didn't, there was no better choice. Since he avoided the high risk of taking the spoon Gu, he was also tantamount to giving up the convenience of the Beastmaster to lead the process.

However, it is not known whether the Beastmaster's guidance will be "convenience" or "disaster". In the puzzle related to the sacred mountain, Jiang Qian was suspicious of anyone's "admonition".

Including Ayiguli and Dajiaojiao, who is in official prison.

This is not because of how crazy they are, even if they are not willing to cooperate, but in the case of insufficient evidence, Jiang Qian cannot ensure that what the two of them believe in must be true and exist.

"Brother Jiang, are we going to hike up the mountain?"

After a while, Ayiguli became skeptical of Jiang Qian's "own plans":

"At this rate, we're far behind the other three princes."

Jiang Qian lifted the shade of the tree in front of him and made a "stop" gesture: "Stop, there is someone in front." ”

A few miles ahead of the two men was a large field.

Above the field, there is a hill.

On the hill, two thin shadows loomed.

Jiang Qian looked at it intently, and it turned out to be two graves, one tall and one short......

"What's wrong?" Ayiguli said in a low voice.

Jiang Qian stared intently, and the two graves were gone......

He subconsciously pointed to the hill and asked Ayiguli, "Did you see that?" ”

"See what?"

"Grave."

"Grave?"

Ayiguli was shocked, followed Jiang Qian's hope, and shook her head in confusion: "No, it's just a hill......"

Speaking of this, Ayiguli's charming and agile eyes gradually widened, looking at Jiang Qian.

The two quickly confirmed their eyes: this is it!

When things go wrong, there must be demons. If nothing else, the second "secondary chess" is hidden here.

"Do you know all the messengers and the saints?" Jiang Qian asked.

"Yes, I will try my best to help you determine the identity of the other party, and you will decide whether to choose or not."

"Then there will be labor."

Once the goal was established, the two immediately set to action.

Continue to go deeper along the field, looking for traces of human existence and habitation.

A short lone shadow crashed into Jiang Qian's sight again!

This time, Ayiguli also noticed, so she threw the spider silk at the target, but when she pulled it back, she found nothing.

"Is it an illusion created by the 'ancestral god'?" Ayiguli was a little annoyed.

In contrast, Jiang Qian was much calmer: "Take it easy, since you know that it may be just an illusion, why should you be confused by the illusion?" ”

Ayiguli pressed her anger, stroked her cheeks, and sighed lightly: "That's what I said, Brother Jiang still has determination~"

The two continued to look forward.

Hours of vigilance passed, and there was no further glimpse of half a human figure or any trace of human habitation.

"Are we being tricked?" Ayiguli couldn't help but mutter.

Jiang Qian smiled indifferently: "The ancestral god pulled us into here to fight to the death, in the final analysis, isn't it just to trick us?" ”

Ayiguli was stunned, and she couldn't refute this view.

"If this is true, why should you be resentful? Let's not forget who our opponents are. Jiang Qian reminded calmly.

The two moved on.

After a while, Jiang Qian heard Ayiguli's soft sigh: "You really don't look like a human. ”

This is the most intuitive feeling of Ayiguli without other premises.

The young man in front of him has a clear goal, is calm, and acts decisively, as if nothing outside can interfere with his emotions and affect his judgment.

Jiang Qian turned his face sideways and said with a smile: "I'll just think you're praising me." ”

Ayiguli fell silent.

Once upon a time, the other party was still a "puppet" that she could manipulate at will when she was talking and laughing, but now, she has to rely on the other party's ability to survive in this predicament...... Think about it, it's really feng shui in turn!

And Jiang Qian, on the other hand, was able to live in harmony with her without any obstacles, and when he thought about it, it was awe-inspiring.

……

"There is a situation."

Jiang Qian's whisper pulled Ayiguli back from her reverie.

She subconsciously looked in the direction of Jiang Qian's eyes: "...... Village? ”

Aside from the bushes, not far from the halfway up the mountainside, there are large and small thatched houses with poles and railings, with a simple structure and two floors: the upper floor is the structure of houses inhabited by humans, and the lower floor is closed to livestock.

Judging from the various household furnishings scattered around the thatched houses, the people here have not yet been modernized, and they still use fire rather than electricity as an energy source.

Of course, these are not enough to constitute what Jiang Qian calls "situations".

As far as the eye can see, the open space obscured by the thatched huts in the front row is surrounded by many people, who seem to be participating in some kind of ritual or activity.

"Let's go, go over and have a look," Jiang Qian patted Ayiguli on the shoulder, "Don't miss a single detail." ”

So, the two "showed their powers", walked in front of the houses in the village, and quietly lurked near the crowd.

Even in the causal mirror image of the ancestral gods, the licensee's awareness and insight are far beyond the reach of ordinary humans. As a result, the two soon witnessed what was happening at the scene.

It's a succession ceremony.

The son of the head of the original village inherited the power of his father, who died of illness, and became the new owner of the village.

The surrounding villagers followed the instructions of the priest, doing all kinds of worship and allegiance movements, the expressions of the people were pious, the words were recited, and the aura conveyed by the whole ceremony was solemn.

The ceremony went smoothly until the end of the process.

The new head of the village was a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties, tall and muscular, dark-skinned, and a majestic man who walked like a synonym for "strength."

His slightly old wife is serious and dignified, standing beside his two sons, and the eyes of the mother and son reflect the adoration and pride of their father.

So far, there is no sign of anything big about happening in this pristine village.

Behind a big tree, a small peacock spider crawled out of Jiang Qian's collar, and from Jiang Qian's ear came Ayiguli's question: "They seem to be over, what should we do?" ”

"Are there any familiar faces in here?" Jiang Qian asked.

"I haven't found it yet."

"You stay on guard, I'll keep an eye on the new leader, and let me know at any time if there is any situation."

"Good~"

After explaining to Ayiguli, Jiang Qian put on his stealth armor again and followed the new leader towards his residence.

If this is already in the mirror image of cause and effect, then some calamity must be brewing.

Jiang Qian quietly approached the leader's double-story thatched hut and hid outside the window on the second floor to listen to the information.

By this time, the new chief had returned home with the priest and two important "officers" and closed the door as if to study something important. His wife silently went to the kitchen to cook, while the children stayed outside the thatched hut to play.

Jiang Qian stood outside the window and listened intently.

After a while, there was an eerie chant from inside the room. This voice belongs to the priest who is presiding over the succession ceremony today.

After a few moments, the chanting stopped, and a deep sigh came from inside the room.

Then, an elderly cadre spoke: "This matter is a great omen, and the leader needs to think carefully." ”

As soon as the words fell, another young cadre put forward the opposite view: "It's man-made!" If we can't even protect our women, then what else can we protect? ”

"It's not a question of whether to protect or not, it's about Wonhee herself...... Alas! The older cadre sighed again, and there was unspeakable pain in his tone!

"Why not? If it weren't for the old leader's resignation, would that guy be able to kidnap Miss easily? If something happens, blame the weak woman, that's the performance of a coward! ”

"You know I didn't mean that......"

The older cadre was about to argue, but was stopped by the leader: "Okay! Don't fight anymore, I've made up my mind. ”

"Boss ......"

……

There was silence in the room for a long time, and the man's deep voice came: "There should be a conclusion to this matter, but now is not the time. ”

"Are you going to ......?"

"As long as that person doesn't get rid of one day, it's hard for us to get ......"

The three of them began to conspire.

Jiang Qian outside the window listened to a lot of things, and he secretly turned on his spiritual vision to observe the movements in the room.

Only then did I unexpectedly find that the two children who had been ignored just now had returned to the house at some point, and their behavior was exactly the same as Jiang Qian's, and they were sticking their young bodies to the door panel, eavesdropping on the conversation of adults.

But the children were careless, and the adults in the room soon noticed their actions.

It's just that the eldest son of the leader reacted quickly and fled quickly, only the younger son who was slow was caught by the leader, and he was beaten "violently", and the crying and noisy sound suddenly alarmed the housewife in the kitchen!

The new chief's wife was so anxious that she knelt down to her husband when she entered the door to forgive her youngest son's mistakes.

And by this time, the eldest son had already run away......

Jiang Qian took advantage of the chaos and commanded his neckline: "There is a boy who ran out towards the south of the village, twelve or thirteen years old, the eldest son of the new leader, you can help me keep an eye on it." ”

"Okay~" Ayiguli's voice immediately echoed in her ears.

His "secondary chess" was very cooperative, but Jiang Qian was not in a hurry to be happy, but continued to advise: "It stands to reason that you have your way of doing things, so I only have one request." ”

"What?"
