Chapter 20: The Ancient Rites
The melee sword is basically a substitute for the loose cultivation without taking off the sword, and there are not many fights between the scattered cultivators, and there are many people who can't afford to use flying swords and various magic weapons.
During the battle, the spell consumed too much aura, and for the casual cultivators who survived at the bottom of the immortal cultivation realm, they couldn't support a few consumptions, not to mention that the casual cultivators generally couldn't master any powerful spells.
This close-quarters sword is a sharp weapon for Sanxiu, but for Li Dongxiu, the patriarch of the Li clan, it is a tattered, and the reason why there is this is also because he once killed Sanxiu.
Although Li Qiao was recognized as a family monk, in Li Dongxiu's eyes, he basically put in as much as he could, so an ordinary storage bag was only borrowed temporarily, and he might have been a little reluctant in his heart, so he gave him a melee sword.
However, in the world of cultivating immortals, in addition to strength, luck is also needed, there are countless monks who have advanced by leaps and bounds in cultivation have been killed by high-level monks casually, and there are also low-level monks who have been living well, and if they are lucky, they can even get a little chance or something.
So he is not optimistic about Li Qiao, but he doesn't really ignore it completely, Li Qiao wants to improve his status in the clan, unless he can prove his worth.
If it is a normal family cultivator, most of them will be very disgusted when they see this kind of melee sword, and they will dislike the trouble if they want to get the layer of material off the surface of the melee sword.
But for Li Qiao, it is a treasure.
If his family knows about his business, what will he do? Qingfeng Jue and Juli Technique, one blows the wind, the other has more strength, and other than that, there is basically no effective means of attack in the face of other monks.
And this close-quarters sword, the weight in his hand, and the coldness of the edge of the sword are all reminding Li Qiao that this is a sharp weapon that can be used to kill. Although he had never killed a life when he was so old, he knew that if he wanted to survive in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, he must have no less attacking methods.
……
June 21, 2826 in the Ziyang calendar, before the mountain gate of Lingye Sect.
On a flat ground, one hundred and eighty-two monks from thirteen nearby immortal families stood, and these family monks gathered together in groups of their own families, centered on a high platform, separated from each other by a certain distance.
Looking at the Lingye Sect from here, one could only see some clouds and mountains of mist-shrouded scenes, which was destined to make some family monks who wanted to see the scene of the Lingye Sect finally disappointed.
On the high platform knelt twenty-three monks, and judging by their tattered clothes, most of them were loose monks.
At this moment, Li Qiao was standing in the group of monks of the Li clan under the high platform, there were more than two hundred monks in the whole scene, but they were silent, Li Qiao suspected that if he turned his back to this place, he would not have found out that there were so many monks here just by his voice.
Although he was thinking wildly in his heart, Li Qiao didn't dare to move, and his eyes kept looking at the high platform, and this group of family monks who came to watch the ancient ceremony had maintained this state for an hour.
I heard the patriarch say that before observing the ancient ceremony, you must do three things, do not move, do not speak, and do not use your divine sense, if you can't do it, then there will be one more monk kneeling on the high platform.
This is a viewing ceremony, it is clear that you have come to suffer sin!
This is probably the voice of many first-time family monks at the scene, but they have been sternly told before, and they have also seen the patriarch of the family standing honestly, so no monk dares to challenge.
"There is a sequence of enlightenment, and the younger generations of monks do not respect their predecessors, and use ancient rites to train them, so that the observers can set an example! Lingye Sect Lan Wenxiao! ”
A young monk appeared on the high platform in the uniform of a Lingye Sect monk, and with a flash of inspiration in his hand, he took out a black gift stick with tightly carved scales from the storage bag on his body, this gift stick should be called a gift cone, it is one zhang long, the child's arm is thick, and the end is cone-shaped.
Then he lifted the head of a kneeling monk, so that his face was tilted upwards and his upper body straight, and the kneeling monk realized what was going to happen, and there was a slight movement under the intensity of emotion, as if he wanted to resist, but he was already forbidden to restrain him, this reaction only proved that he was a living creature.
Pinch the tongue, the stick is inserted diagonally, and the mouth is directly pierced into the ground.
Then the Lingye Sect monk named Lan Wenxiao floated away.
"There is a sequence of enlightenment, and the younger generations of monks do not respect their predecessors, and use ancient rites to train them, so that the observers can set an example! Lingye Sect Xiang Shangyan! ”
After that, the same words kept appearing, and the only thing that changed was that the Lingye Sect monks who appeared were different, but the movements they did were all the same, and they all used salutary sticks to insert people.
One, two, three...... It wasn't until all the kneeling monks on the high platform were arranged that they lost the figure of the Lingye Sect monks.
You must know that the vitality of the monks is very tenacious, and the monks who are treated by the ancient rites on the high platform will not die at the first time.
On the high platform, the posture is frozen, and there is liquid falling.
Under the high platform, it was heavy and depressing, and some of the family monks felt a little breathless.
It can be said that this is the real process of observing the ceremony, a process of witnessing death.
"These immortal cultivation families are weak, so why don't they just destroy them? Why do you want to make any ancient rites. ”
In the cover of the Lingye Sect's mountain gate formation, a young man asked questions like the older monks beside him while watching the ancient rites go on.
"The immortal cultivation world is very large, if these immortal cultivation families are destroyed, there will be new immortal cultivation families, endlessly, and they will be wiped out!"
"If you kill too much, you won't dare to come!" The boy didn't care.
"Keep killing, and the sect cultivators won't have to cultivate." The older monk smiled first, and then said: "There are immortal cultivation families occupying it, and other immortal cultivation families can't occupy it, and if the sect wants to absolutely control this large area, the number of sect monks in the sect must be doubled several times now, which will only reduce the cultivation resources of the sect monks, and it will also make the battles within the sect increase, which is far less important than making the existing immortal cultivation family obedient." ”
In fact, in addition to this, the elder monk didn't say anything, the Lingye Sect was majestic in front of these more than ten immortal cultivation families, but it was nothing in the entire immortal cultivation world, the territory was bigger, and there were more dangers.
For example, any nearby immortal cultivator family who offended his Lingye Sect couldn't afford to provoke it, and he deserved to be destroyed directly, what does it have to do with his Lingye Sect? The Lingye Sect can only be regarded as a small sect, and even those big sects do not dare to occupy too many places, but are similar to this indirect control.
The same is true for the sect of the Immortal Cultivation family, and the same is true for the big sect for the small sect.
The so-called One Destruction Sect is a sect that can be destroyed by a great monk during the Tribulation Period, and there are many such sects in the Great World of Cultivating Immortals, and there are countless ones that have been destroyed.
It wasn't until it was dark that the figures on the high platform seemed to have become sculptures, and a voice came from the direction where the Lingye Sect was located: "Finish the ceremony!" "The entire ancient ritual process is over, and all the monks of the Immortal Cultivation Family have just begun to leave.
