Chapter 434, The Mysterious Sphere
Ziyou and Concubine Yan looked at the descendants of the Protoss in the village and decided to hide first, and then see what these people were going to do.
After the two left the village, they found a hidden corner, and after buying two Chu costumes, the two put on human skin masks and pretended to be fleeing Chu people and walked towards the village.
After the two entered the village, the descendants of the gods in the village set their eyes on the two of them.
"Two, I'm the village chief here, I don't know why you two came to our village?" An old man stepped forward to stop Ziyou and Concubine Yan and asked.
"The two of us fled from the giant sun in the north." Ziyou said in a mouthful of Chu words.
"From Juyang?" The village chief squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at the two of them, because the Qin State implemented the Qin Law in the sixteen cities north of Juyang, and indeed many Chu people fled south.
"What kind of Qin law are those damn Qin Rong implementing in the north, so that our family is ruined, we have no way to live in Juyang, I can only take my cousin south to prepare to defect to Shouchun's cousin." Zi You's eyes flashed with a lot of hatred.
The village chief looked at Ziyou's gorgeous costumes, although there was some dust, but it still couldn't hide its value, which really looked like a person who had fled from Juyang. The implementation of the Qin law caused many wealthy merchants or magnates to flee from the north, and although most of these people passed by their villages in horse-drawn carriages with their family possessions, many of them were like Ziyou.
From Ziyou's words and deeds, the old village chief judged that Ziyou should be a small businessman who fled from Juyang.
The village chief listened to Ziyou keep talking about how they were in Juyang and how they suffered on the road, and he also believed most of them in his heart.
"Don't worry, the old village chief, we are just passing by, this is not far from Xia Cai, we will set off after a little rest, and we will not delay the livelihood of the people in the village." Ziyou said.
"Our village is also not far from Xia Cai, if you go now, the city gate will be closed long ago." The old village chief said.
"Ah, I wonder if the village can help us find a place to stay in the village? Let's stay overnight. Don't worry, we won't live in vain. As he spoke, Ziyou took out a few knives and coins from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the old village chief.
"We are all Chu people, you were bullied by the Qin people and left your hometown, and the same Chu people naturally will not stand idly by, there is a courtyard in my house that is still empty, if you don't dislike it, you can pay attention to staying for one night." The old village chief smiled and put the knife money into his cuff and said.
"Thank you so much to the old village chief." Ziyou removed Concubine Yan's clothes and said, "Don't thank you much, village chief." ”
"Thank you, village chief!" Ziyou said.
"Please come with me."
The old village chief took Ziyou and the others to his home, while the rest of the village looked at the backs of Ziyou and Concubine Yan, and an obscure light flashed in their eyes, and then continued to do their own things.
After the old village chief arranged Ziyou and Concubine Yan, he said to the two
"It's a little more simple here, but it's okay to spend the night, I'm going to help you prepare some meals." The old village chief said with a smile.
"I'm in trouble." Ziyou gave the old village chief some money.
After seeing the money, the smile on the old village chief's face became even stronger. But just after the old village chief left the house, he looked at the money in his hand and his eyes were full of disdain.
"It looks like we're exposed." Concubine Yan whispered to Ziyou.
Although the old village chief behaved like an ordinary person along the way, his every move revealed strangeness, especially when he saw Ziyou's flawed acting skills and dialogues, he didn't even behave abnormally, but cooperated with Ziyou.
"But he may not have seen through our true identity, he just thinks that we are not ordinary people." Ziyou said that if the other party really recognized their identities, they should run away as soon as possible.
Now that there is more turmoil in Chu, all kinds of demons and monsters may appear, so the "old village chief" also knows that they are not ordinary people, but the purpose of staying without exposing them should be very simple, what do you want from them.
Soon the old village chief brought some food to Ziyou's room, and stopped when the old village chief was leaving, and said gloomily
"Both, tonight is the sacrifice of our village, if there is nothing to do, don't leave the room."
Hearing the old village chief say this, Ziyou showed a hint of surprise and excitement on his face, but then he hid it again. The old village chief naturally caught a flash of surprise and excitement from Ziyou, and his face remained unchanged, but a trace of disdain flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"The night sacrifice?" Ziyou asked in surprise.
"Our customs here are different from those in other places, and the gods we worship only appear at night, so you don't need to be surprised. You just need to remember that there will be some movement in our village after dark, and you don't need to pay attention to it, let alone go out to see it curiously, if you disturb the gods who live in the temple, you will be cursed. The old village chief didn't want to say more, then closed the door and left.
After leaving the room, the old village chief looked at Ziyou's room with a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"Looks like they're treating us like ordinary charlatans or thieves." Concubine Yan said with a chuckle.
The most important thing in the Chu State is the sacrifice, and the general sacrifice is a very lively thing, each family will even take out money to pay tribute, and even some of the sacrifices are valuable items, whether it is the former or the latter is worth a lot of money, it is very attractive to Ziyou and Concubine Yan such "Jianghu knights or thieves".
What's more, what the old village chief said is still so covered, it is easier to make people curious.
"In that case, then I will be disrespectful." Ziyou said with a smile.
Concubine Yan's eyes also flashed a hint of playfulness, please enter the urn, I am afraid that when the time comes, you will not invite a gentleman, but a wolf into the room.
After Ziyou and Concubine Yan finished eating, after the old village chief cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, the two gradually waited for the sky to darken, and as the sun set, some gongs and drums gradually appeared in the silent village.
Ziyou and Concubine Yan, who were lying on the bed, turned over, Ziyou came to the window, and through the gap in the window, he saw two groups of "villagers" with wizard masks standing outside towards the temple in the center of the village.
"The other party has already set it up, if we don't go, won't it seem too unknowing?" Ziyou smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to Concubine Yan.
"Then I'll go with you." Concubine Yan also smiled and put her hand in Ziyou's palm.
Ziyou pulled Concubine Yan's hand hard, Concubine Yan was directly withdrawn into Ziyou's arms, and Concubine Yan screamed in a low voice in a hurry, and glanced at Ziyou angrily. Ziyou ran lightly and disappeared into the room in the blink of an eye, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
At this time, the villagers had arrived at the temple, and a group of shamans were dancing the sacrificial dance in the middle. The old village chief wore a mask and looked at the statue of the god in the temple.
In the temple is enshrined a tall and mighty statue of a headless deity, with a fierce tiger at his feet, two hands in an encircled shape, and the most striking thing is that there is a distinctly spherical object on the chest of the statue, and the accumulation of dust makes it impossible to see what this spherical object is.
"Elder Antarctica, we've been here for years, can someone help us wake up that thing this time?" A young man beside the old village chief whispered.
The young man is also one of the descendants of the Protoss, and the old village chief known as Antarctica is one of the six elders of their Protoss descendants, who have been led to this village by the Antarctic elders since several years ago, and after killing the people of this village, they occupied this place, and what has been incognito is the spherical object on the chest of the god statue in the temple.
"This is the eighth person this month, it's been nine years since we've been incognito, we've been waiting for nine years, taking advantage of countless people, it's not bad this time." The Antarctic Elder looked at the globular object on the idol's chest and whispered.
The item on the chest of the idol is the most critical item for them to break the Peerless Heaven and Earth Pass after they enter Yunmengze, if they don't have this thing, they will not be able to break the Peerless Heaven and Earth Pass after entering. But this spherical object can only be awakened by special people, and it is useless if it is in this state at all.
According to the revelation they received, it was said that this thing would be taken away by someone who could awaken him in the future, which is why he waited incognito here.
"But I saw that although the face of the person this time was a little cunning, like a bad businessman, he didn't feel as cunning, and you specially reminded him, he shouldn't be like the six people before who were greedy for money, right?" The young man muttered.
"If it weren't for the fact that the clan determined that you were Sirius, I would have doubted that you were a Celestia." The Antarctic Elder looked at the Sky Wolf with a little headache and said.
He really couldn't imagine that a person who had inherited the power of the Heavenly Wolf of the Lord Killing could be so simple, even a little stupid.
The Celestial Wolf also knew that the Antarctic Elder was scolding himself, so he could only keep his head down, the Celestial Venus was a power that only women could inherit, and the Celestial Venus of their generation had already been killed by Gai Nie and them in the Wei Kingdom. Gai Nie and the law enforcement team slaughtered and killed more than half of the descendants of their god clan on the territory of the five kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin, and Yan, and arrested them, otherwise their clan would not urgently let them hurry up and find the person who woke up.
"You're still young, and you haven't gone out to experience the wind and rain, so you don't understand human nature." The Antarctic Elder could only use these words to comfort the Heavenly Wolf, and at the same time to comfort himself.
Who made the current descendants of the Protoss have no more talents available. Originally, the center of gravity of the descendants of the Protoss was all in the north, especially the two places of Han and Wei, which were located in the center of the world, and they could arrange anything as soon as possible. However, Ziyou killed greedy wolves and Kuixing in a row, breaking the pattern of Pei County, where they wanted to use the red dragon to swallow the phoenix, completely messed up their century-old layout, and also cut off their biggest retreat.
In the Zhao Kingdom, Ziyou killed the Broken Army and the thirteen people whose strength was superior among the descendants of the Protoss, and the Hetu Luoshu and the Weapon of Martial Arts were also snatched. In addition, with the cooperation of Gai Nie and the law enforcement team in the Nets and the Black Ice Platform, they slaughtered in the north, and now there are only a few people who can be used within the descendants of the Protoss except for their six old bones, and among the six elders of them, there is not a single one who can fight, because they have lived for a long time and know all the internal layout of the descendants of the Protoss, they are promoted to be elders, so as to command the descendants of the Protoss.
The greedy wolf, the broken army and the seven killings were killed one after another, and those who could fight all died in the resistance to Gai Nie and the law enforcement team, and there was only one person left in the clan, the wolf who was the main killer, but unfortunately the wolf had just become enlightened and had not yet been cultivated, and he was such a simple person who gave him a little headache. Especially at this time, the old opponents of the ancient eight surnames have also begun to enter the world, especially the old things of the Feng family, who almost found them in Xia Cai last time, which made the descendants of the Protoss extremely nervous, so he began to test people passing by frequently.
As soon as he thought of this, Elder Antarctica felt a depressed breath in his heart, which made him breathless.
"But I'm an adult this year." Skywolf continued to say like a fool.
"Shut up!" The Antarctic elder scolded directly in a low voice, thinking of the power of a star that was the main killer, it turned out to be such a simple person that he couldn't help but want to scold his mother.
Hearing the anger in the words of the Antarctic Elder, the Sky Wolf no longer spoke, but waited silently.
Ziyou and Concubine Yan hid in the shadows, looking at the people below who were holding sacrifices, and were silent.
"It seems that these people don't have any masters, and the one who can fight the most is the young man next to the old village chief, but that's what the middle of the sect master looks like." The villagers below Concubine Yan said in a low voice, she felt more and more that this village was not deliberately made by the descendants of the Protoss to disturb their sight, because the strength of the entire village was not as good as the broken army they met in Zhao Country at the beginning, and it was even worse than the greedy wolf and Kuixing they met in Pei County at the beginning.
If the Antarctic Elder heard Concubine Yan's words, he would definitely vomit blood in anger, how could he, an elder sitting here, be the cannon fodder who was pushed out to disrupt his vision, did he look down on him?
"The strength is indeed almost good, let's see what the hell they are doing." Ziyou also nodded in agreement.
Ziyou and Concubine Yan continued to watch, and soon the following sacrifices ended, and some villagers sent some money into the temple without concealment, and then everyone left under the auspices of the old village chief, leaving only Ziyou and Concubine Yan hiding in the shadows.
Seeing that everyone had left, Ziyou and Concubine Yan appeared directly and came to the door of the temple.
The candles in the temple were bright, the entire temple was illuminated, and there was a lot of real money on the table, Ziyou and Concubine Yan looked up and down the inside of the temple, and after finding that there was nothing special, they set their eyes on the statue.
Both of them were attracted by the ball on the chest of the idol, there was a lot of dust on the idol, but there was very little dust near the ball on the chest, and it looked like it had been smeared later.
Looking at the ball, Ziyou thought that this village composed of descendants of the Protoss should be for this ball.
