Dan, Fu, Instrument, Array.

These four are relatively common skills.

According to the records in the relevant texts.

Most of the cultivators in the ancient cultivation world have mastered one or more skills.

He even directly makes a living from his skills to earn resources for his practice.

Compared with going out to explore and fight, whether it is refining weapons and alchemy, it is obviously safer.

This is also the choice of most ordinary practitioners.

It's a pity that it takes a lot of time to practice any skill.

And if you want to cultivate extremely deeply, in addition to a strong strength realm, you often need a unique talent.

Among these four skills, the talent of Fu Seal is the lowest.

As long as you are willing to work hard and practice a lot, it is not difficult to master the drawing method of a few runes.

Of course, although the rune seal is easy to get started, it is also not so easy to master.

Especially for high-grade talismans, it not only takes a lot of energy to practice, but also requires a huge amount of resources.

Take the three-grade rune seal as an example, it is generally necessary to use the same level of demon beast skin or spiritual material as the carrier of the rune seal.

These are still ordinary sigils.

If the sigil can be used multiple times, it often needs more precious materials to carry it.

For example: Fu Yu.

Fu jade is a precious jade specially refined and used to paint and engrave rune seals.

Generally speaking, the ones that use rune jade are often four-grade rune seals, which can exert a power comparable to that of a mage after urging.

For many mages who have never obtained the magic weapon in their hands, only the rune treasure made of rune jade can be eyed.

Although the number of times a rune treasure is used, it is not as long-lasting as a magic weapon.

However, due to the myriad of strange and innumerable effects, the power of the rune treasure is often unpredictable and difficult to guess.

It can often be used to a special effect in battle.

Sometimes, even a mage with a magic weapon may fall into trouble if he doesn't notice it for a while.

Looking at the three precious pieces of Fu Jade at this moment, Su Mo rarely showed a smile on his face.

Fu Yu is not something that can be easily obtained.

In comparison, even the two top-level magic weapons that were harvested earlier were probably not as valuable as these three rune jades.

After all, Fu Yu can engrave the four-grade rune seal and exert the power of the mage realm.

Even if the number of times is limited, it is still difficult for the top-level magic weapon to stop.

In addition, what made Su Mo particularly concerned was how Chen Chuyan could get Fu Yu?

Before the three families came into contact with the god of agriculture, they were just ordinary farmers in the village.

Maybe the Chen family can be said to be a big family, but it is only a big family in the countryside, and they can't touch such treasures at all.

As a result, now Chen Chuyan has three pieces of rune jade here, which is really unimaginable.

Su Mo shook his head, put the question behind him for the time being, and turned to look at the remaining jade plate.

The jade plate is only the size of a palm, and it is painted with fine spiritual patterns.

There are a few breakpoints in the middle, which is quite a bit of a lack of strength.

He could tell it was a deck.

It's just that the above formation was not successfully drawn.

With his knowledge, he couldn't tell the effect of this formation for the time being.

If the hand girl is here, I am afraid that it is possible to complete it on the spot.

"Forget it, take it back and show it to the handmaiden, maybe it's a good thing."

Su Mo muttered and put everything away.

After searching the treasure spot, he went back to his desk.

Just now, when he was scanning this room with his mental power, he noticed a total of two anomalies.

Not to mention the inside of the bed, there are also subtleties on the side of the desk.

Su Mo looked at a pair of pen stands on the table, and his gaze quickly fell on a brownish brush on the far right.

When his mental power is concentrated on this brush, he urges it.

In the next second, the brush flew out of the pen holder on its own like a spirit, and quickly began to write on the desk in front of him.

Soon, rows of small and exquisite ancient seals appeared in front of Su Mo's eyes.

Su Mo immediately reacted, this was a low-level magic weapon that had already been set up.

When someone comes into contact with it, it will present the last recorded information on its own.

Knowing this, Su Mo couldn't help but look at what it was writing.

After this period of research on various ancient books, he is already very familiar with ancient seals, and there is no difficulty in reading through them.

And after he finished reading the content of this brush, there was a faint hint of surprise and surprise in his eyes.

This short article written on the table is not a secret technique, but a suicide note.

The writer was none other than the high priest Chen Chuyan.

According to the suicide note, Chen Chuyan intends to do the next irreparable big thing.

He's going to destroy the festival.

He's going to ...... Kill the gods!

That's right, he is going to rebel at the festival and kill the god of agriculture that the three major families have sacrificed for generations!

For this reason, he is ready to die together.

As for the reason for this, in addition to the constraints of the god of agriculture on the Chen family, he focused on his daughter, Chen Wanying.

In his opinion, Chen Wanying was sacrificed because of the god of agriculture.

So even the gods will have to pay for it!

But killing gods is never a simple matter.

Chen Chuyan carefully prepared for a long time.

In order to kill the gods, he invested countless resources.

Including those precious talisman jades, they were also secretly exchanged by him from the Chen family's treasury.

However, with four pieces of rune jade, in the end, he only found someone to carve one successfully.

Fortunately, he has made many other preparations.

According to his suicide note, all these methods have been used up, and even a real mage is very likely to fall.

Not to mention the long-dormant god of agriculture.

Judging from the results of the engagement, Chen Chuyan's careful planning for revenge after many years was probably successful.

Even if the god of agriculture had not fallen, he would have been severely damaged.

It's just that the cost is far greater than you think.

I'm afraid that Chen Chuyan didn't think that his revenge would bring ruin to the entire Chenjia Village.

Tens of thousands of people have lost their lives as a result.

"Maybe even if he knew, he wouldn't necessarily care."

Su Mo thought secretly.

From the death intent revealed in this suicide note, it can be seen that he has put his life on the line.

In this case, it can only be said that he thinks too much about the life and death safety of other people.

The process of killing gods was destined to cause a large number of casualties, and he would never have imagined it.

It's just that he doesn't care anymore.

Su Mo glanced at the handwriting that had dissipated into smoke and dust.

It also recorded the treasures left by Chen Chuyan, which were the ones he had found from the legs of the bed earlier.

Those are all treasures that he failed to use, so he wrote them here and left them for those who came after him.

This stay spans hundreds of years.

Su Mo shook his head and picked up the brush and took it away.

After scanning around again to make sure nothing was left of the place, he left the house.

When I came to the hall to meet everyone, I could clearly see that the expressions on the faces of many people were beaming, and it was obvious that they all had their own gains.

While chatting, a loud cheer suddenly came from the other side:

"What do you think I found?" With this shout, a figure broke in, and it was Xue Lansu, who had returned late.

She was holding a jade slip in her hand.

Seeing the jade slip, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Su Mo immediately asked:

"What's that?"

Xue Lansu smiled slightly, and did not hide anything, when he opened his mouth and said:

"I found out some secrets of the Chen family."

"Secret?"

Hearing this, everyone gathered around curiously.

Xue Lansu immediately explained:

"This jade slip was left by the first ancestor of the Chen family and enshrined in the ancestral shrine.

The first ancestor here is not the first generation of the Chen family's ancestors.

It was the ancestor who first saw the god of agriculture and made the Chen family rise again.

His tablet stood above everyone and was revered as the first ancestor by the entire Chen family.

When the First Ancestor died, he left this jade slip as a testament.

Some precepts are mentioned in the testament, as well as some past events of the Chen family and the god of agriculture. ”

According to the description on the jade slip, the people who first saw the god of agriculture were young people from the three major families of Han, Liu, and Chen.

At that time, they had not yet become the patriarchs of their respective families, and were just like-minded playmates.

Even the Han family and the Liu family at that time were two ordinary farmers.

There are some siblings in the family, but that's about it.

And they strayed into the Saturnalia during an unexpected play.

After a conversation with Saturnalia in the God's Domain.

They each made a wish to the god of Saturnalia.

That wish was then granted.

Not only do they become stronger.

Even the fields were harvested, and the family business was thriving.

From this they began to worship the god of agriculture and determined the responsibilities of the three people.

The Chen family produced the high priest, the Liu family produced the saint, and the Han family produced the talisman.

In terms of status and perspective alone, the high priest is superior to the holy woman, and the holy woman is superior to the human symbol.

But they didn't regret their choice.

Because each choice corresponds to a different deity.

At the same time, it corresponds to different costs.

The price of the human charm is the lightest.

The high priest was the most expensive.

Even though they knew this, the first ancestor of the Chen family still chose the position of high priest.

And the first ancestor of the Liu family and the first ancestor of the Han family did not fight with him.

In this way, the responsibilities of the three families were successfully decided. ”

After that, with the status of the high priest and the divine favor, the Chen family was able to expand rapidly and became a well-deserved head snake in the entire Chen family village.

And beneath the flowery exterior, there is a lingering shadow.

That is the price of the high priest.

As the price of producing high priests from generation to generation, the Chen family was required to preside over the Saturnalia sacrifice and offer holy wine at the Saturnalia sacrifice.

The so-called holy lord is the cup used in the ceremony to hold the holy wine.

Although the real festival ceremony is only held once every ten years.

But the brewing of holy sake is not easy.

It needs to be refined with the lineage of the Chen family and the corresponding rune spell to get it!

In other words, the descendants of the Chen family must die at least every ten years! ”

In the eyes of the first ancestor of the Chen family, this is not a big problem at all.

It's just some offspring who die, it's a big deal to marry more wives and have more children.

Always meet the requirements of the god of agriculture.

In contrast, the gifts received from the god of agriculture are unimaginable to ordinary people.

It's a book of great profits!

In his posthumous training, he demanded that every child of the Chen family must marry more wives, have more children, and work hard to spread the branches.

Let the status of the Chen family continue forever! ”

Listening to Xue Lansu's narration, everyone has also read the content of the jade slip one after another, which is roughly no different from what she said.

Yao Wenkai's face suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, and he said:

"No wonder that prescription record says it's useful for idiots to keep it."

"What's that?"

Chen Yuan asked with curiosity on his face.

The people around followed suit.

Yao Wenkai immediately explained:

"Earlier we found some medicine records in a wing room to the east.

One of the medicine books wrote that the Chen family has a large number of people, and sometimes some children with congenital problems will be born.

For example, dementia and mutilated children.

If it were placed in an ordinary person's house, such a child might have been thrown into the river and drowned

But the Chen family sent people to take good care of them.

Now it seems that they should have been used as sacrifices.

Anyway, as long as the sacrifice is the bloodline of the Chen family, then it must not matter whether it is dementia or not.

The Chen family adopted this small method to avoid the probability of suffering for their descendants to a certain extent.

It can be regarded as having a policy and a countermeasure. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded slightly, understanding what he said.

Song Ruyuan glanced at the dilapidated hall and said with emotion:

"This Chen family really doesn't take human life seriously."

"So they were punished."

Su Mo replied with a calm expression.

The people around him couldn't help but look at him.

Su Mo took the suicide note he had seen from the high priest Chen Chuyan earlier.

and what they found when they entered the small courtyard were all told to everyone.

After learning the root cause of this cataclysm in the secret realm.

The mood of the crowd was quite complicated.

There is no doubt that this is pure revenge.

It's just that the situation is so widespread that I am afraid that everyone did not expect it.

Maybe the Chen family could save all this as long as they chose someone else to act as this sacrifice.

It's a pity that Chen Chuyan's generation is afraid that there are no problems with the baby.

On the contrary, his daughter was seriously ill and died shortly, so she was more suitable to be used as a sacrifice in the deliberations of the clan elders.

Even he, the high priest, had no right to stop the family's decision.

Intellectually, there is nothing wrong with this decision.

Giving up a dying person in exchange for a descendant life can be described as cost-effective.

But from Chen Chuyan's personal point of view, it was too cruel.

Even if his daughter only has the last few days left to live.

He would never let her die in the well prematurely.

Not to mention that there may be a cure for her serious illness.

Therefore, in Chen Chuyan's view, this is the entire Chen family forcing his daughter to die.

Fortunately, he also knew that the source of the problem was not those clan elders.

The root cause of this tragedy is the god of agriculture that they have sacrificed for generations.

That's why he decided to kill the gods!

That's why there is this sneaky secret place.

After figuring out all this, everyone's expressions were complicated, and the atmosphere in the room was silent for a long time.

After a while, Su Mo spoke:

"Alright, now that everything here has been settled, it's time for us to start the final stage of the ritual."

"It's time to go to the shrine."

"To witness the climax of this festival of yesteryear, and let it come to an end!"
