Chapter 290: Sacrifice to the Immortals
Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo did not enter the city immediately.
Instead, after dark, the two went around to a side of the mountain peak and quietly sneaked in.
The area of the castle is huge, and there are many buildings, but most of them are relatively simple, not luxurious, and are all stone houses.
But the number is extremely large, judging by these stone houses, there are at least hundreds of thousands of mountain people living in this city.
That's a staggering amount.
Because according to records, in the past, the mountain people were scattered into small tribes, with only a few hundred people in small ones, and even large tribes were only tens of thousands at most.
A tribe of hundreds of thousands of people, in the 100,000 mountains, is extremely rare.
At least, in this area close to Yunzhou, there is no relevant record.
This is definitely the result of the convergence of many tribes.
What kind of power, or rather, what kind of existence can bring together tribes large and small?
The point is, what is the purpose of bringing so many tribes together, what is the purpose?
"That place, it's brightly lit, let's go and see."
Shen Yinuo pointed to the center of the city.
Dangdang.
At this time, in the depths of the city, a bell suddenly sounded.
Then, a large number of mountain people came out of their houses and rushed towards the center of the city, where the lights were bright.
The dense crowd is like ants returning to their nests, and there are countless of them.
The two waited for a while, and saw that there was no longer a figure around them, so the two of them restrained their breath and walked towards the brightly lit place.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
The two jumped onto a three-story building, leaned on the roof, and watched from afar.
All that catches your eye is the figure of a person.
It is estimated that the mountain people of the entire city have come.
These mountain people, around a circular square, knelt on the ground, respectfully.
In the middle of the circular square, a huge altar was built, more than ten meters high, and on the altar, a statue was placed.
The statue, about two meters high, has a peculiar appearance.
The upper body, in adult form, has a pair of wings on its back and two horns on its head.
The lower body, on the other hand, is a snake tail covered with scales.
The statue stretched out its hands and looked loving, as if embracing all beings.
At this point, two young women walk up to the altar and stand on either side of the statue.
These two women, with delicate appearances and long splendid skirts, are very different from the mountain people.
"Sacrifice, begin, offer."
One of the women spoke, her voice crisp and far away.
Immediately, a group of strong mountain people walked up to the altar with one figure after another, and then threw these people on the altar.
These people, obviously all martial cultivators, had their limbs broken and were lying on the ground struggling meaninglessly.
"A few of them, looking at the costumes, are the martial forces of the Ming Palace, and the others are not, they are from other forces."
Lu Yan said secretly.
It is not only the Ming Wangfu family who came to the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang to develop resources, but many nearby princes, and even those who are far away, have entered the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang to develop resources.
These mountain people obviously attacked more than the Ming Wangfu.
After these martial cultivators were brought in, there were some strong men who brought one foreign beast after another.
These beasts also had their limbs broken, but they were not killed, and they were left to struggle on the altar.
Then, eight old mountain people walked on, shirtless, and their bodies were covered with dense lines of willpower.
Eight old men, armed with strange clubs, swirled around the altar, and their mouths uttered words that they did not understand.
Then, hundreds of thousands of mountain people at the scene, with a pious face, prostrate on the ground, and their mouths also made a chattering voice.
As these incomprehensible words sounded, Lu Yan felt that an unspeakable coercion emerged between heaven and earth, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
Airplanes!
Suddenly, the statue on the altar shook slightly, emitting a glowing light, and the light grew stronger and stronger, until at last it shone like the sun, illuminating the night.
The infinite light, like a silk thread, has a wonderful connection with hundreds of thousands of mountain people.
As these mountain people breathed strange words, some special power seemed to be generated in them, and they converged towards the statue.
On the statue, some kind of force is swelling dramatically.
At the same time, on the altar, those martial cultivators and alien beasts were shrouded in a layer of light, letting out a terrible wail, and their bodies were aging and decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a dried corpse.
When the wind blew, these dried corpses turned into dust and flew with the wind.
Then, the power gathered by that statue, which was extremely strong, was transformed into some special power, and returned to a part of it and poured into each of the mountain people.
Varying intensities.
After each mountain person obtains this kind of power, a series of lines of wish power appear on their bodies, some more and some less, some deep and some shallow.
But there is one thing in common, that is, all the mountain people show an intoxicated and satisfied expression after receiving this power.
"Thank you to the immortal lord, the immortal lord's mana reaches the sky, and he is immortal."
Hundreds of thousands of mountain people praised in unison.
"Could this be the legendary sacrifice of immortals?"
Shen Yinuo whispered, a little incredible.
"What is an immortal sacrifice?" Lu Yan transmits the voice.
"Those relics left before the Great Ancient Dynasty, do you remember, there are also altars, there are also statues, according to these relics, the world will call the period before the Great Ancient Period, called the ancient period."
"Many people speculate that in ancient times, immortals were the masters of heaven and earth, and the human race believed in immortals, and from time to time they would hold activities to sacrifice immortals, so as to generate wishing power, called sacrificing immortals."
"Just now, when these mountain people were sacrificing, they produced a special power, and with the lines of the wish power on their bodies, it can be seen that this kind of power is the power of willingness."
"It's just that since the establishment of the Great Ancient Dynasty, there have been no immortal sacrifices in the world, and the remaining immortals are dormant in the immortal ruins, and they seem to be unable to go out, and they have lost the power to hold immortal sacrifices."
"Now, how can it be again?"
Shen Yinuo explained, frowning.
Lu Yan's heart moved, and said: "You said that the immortals are dormant in the immortal ruins, they can't go out, and they have lost the power to hold immortal sacrifices, why is this?" ”
"You really mean that I am Bai Xiaosheng, I know everything?"
Shen Yinuo glanced at Lu Yan and said: "I have only seen a few words in an ancient book, and the author of that ancient book is only guessing, saying that after the establishment of the Great Ancient Dynasty, the power of the immortals has weakened greatly, and they can only lie dormant in the immortal ruins, surviving for a long time, as for why, I don't know." ”
"For so many years, I haven't heard of the immortal sacrifice activity, and now that it has reappeared, I have a bad premonition, and I always feel that something terrible is going to happen."
Shen Yinuo's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Not good, be careful."
Suddenly, Lu Yan's heart was alarmed.
But when he saw the statue, his eyes shot out two pillars of light, like two peerless swords, breaking out of the sky.
One of them was to slash at Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.
The two jumped backwards and instantly retreated hundreds of meters.
Rumble!
The three-story building just now exploded.
The other pillar of light slashed in another direction.
With a bang, smoke and dust filled the air, and a figure rose into the sky.
It turned out that it was not only Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo who were hidden in the dark, but also other people.
"It's an outsider who wants to destroy the sacrificial ceremony and kill them, and the immortal lord will definitely be rewarded."
Next to the statue, a young woman screams.
"Kill."
"Kill them."
Countless mountain people, screaming frantically, their eyes were blood-red, as if they had seen fragrant buns, rushed towards Lu Yan, Shen Yinuo, and one other person.
"Let's go."
Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo hurriedly retreated, not wanting to entangle too much with these mountain people.
But that statue, shining brightly, was like a supreme master, mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth, and the energy was surging, converging above the heads of Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.
Crash!
Suddenly, several bolts of lightning slashed towards Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo from the top of their heads.
The lightning illuminated the night and split the night sky, almost to the extreme, before Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo could react, they were struck, and their bodies smashed directly into the ground, smashing the ground into two big pits.
Fortunately, the real bodies and strength of the two of them were extremely strong, and they resisted hard, but they were also extremely embarrassed, their hair was fluffy, and they were covered with black smoke, like a flower child, and there were bursts of meat fragrance.
The energy above his head continues to surge.
How dare the two of them be careless, and they burst out with all their might.
Shen Yinuo sacrificed the Great Sun Furnace and suspended it above his head.
And Lu Yan, the seven supreme body refining martial arts broke out at the same time.
Boom!
Two bolts of lightning, as thick as an arm, continued to slash at the two of them.
This time, Lu Yan was prepared and slashed upwards with a strong palm force, but the palm power was difficult to completely block the lightning, and the remaining lightning slashed on Lu Yan's body, and Lu Yan's body was crawling with fine lightning, and his whole body was sore.
But that's about it.
And Shen Yinuo, with the help of the Great Sun Furnace, blocked the lightning.
But after such a block, the dense mountain people have already rushed over.
"Kill."
"Kill these blasphemers of the Immortal Lord."
"Kill them, the fairy lord will be rewarded, and we will have eternal life."
The mountain people roared, their eyes red, as if they were crazy.
Those who have weapons will swing their weapons to attack, and those who have no weapons will strike with their fists.
"A bunch of cultists, kill."
Lu Yan drank coldly, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, he didn't leave his hand, he ran the cold god palm, and with a push of both palms, the two cold currents converged together and rushed out, and suddenly dozens of mountain people were frozen into ice sculptures.
And Shen Yinuo, casting the Great Sun God Fist, the scorching fist rushed out, and the bodies of the mountain people burned one by one, but these people, as if they didn't know the pain, even if their bodies were burned, they still rushed towards them frantically.
"These people are no longer ordinary mountain people, but monsters, don't leave your hands."
Shen Yinuo said.
She could see that although Lu Yan's shot was sharp, he still kept his hand somewhat, because those mountain people who were frozen were not dead.
Rumble!
The Great Sun Furnace became as huge as a hill, and a large number of mountain people were reduced to dust.
Lu Yan's eyes were also completely indifferent, his palms shook, the cold current surged, and many mountain people were frozen in ice, and then flew out upside down, fell to the ground, and fell to pieces.
The two of them kept shooting, killing outside, and in the blink of an eye, they killed hundreds of mountain people.
However, the number of mountain people is too much, they are not afraid of death, they are like crazy, and they are constantly rushing in, and they are too many to kill.
