Mountains, deep valley altars.

After a two-day journey, under the starry night, Lu Yuan and the two finally arrived here.

"I've seen the king."

Li Qian, the registered disciple who was in charge of supervising the construction here, hurriedly came to pay his respects after seeing his master and king coming.

"Get up, don't be polite." Lu Yuan waved his hand, then looked at the outline of the altar that had been built in the valley, and asked, "You sent a message back to say that the altar has been built, which is true." ”

Li Qian hurriedly said: "Back to the king, this matter is true. After spending more than a year, he finally lived up to his mission and repaired this altar. The king can go and check it out at once. ”

Lu Yuan said: "Then take me to have a look." Then he turned his head and looked at Anqiu Zhenren: "The real person will also help to see if there is a problem." ”

Anqiu Zhenren nodded: "Don't worry, fellow Daoists, this is also related to the great plan of this Dao, and the poor Dao will be carefully examined." ”

Then, under the leadership of Li Qian, the two went to the altar in the valley.

There are three kinds of altars for worshipping the heavens in the Taiping Taoist Book, corresponding to human rituals, earth rituals, and heavenly rituals.

There are three kinds of sacrifices of heaven, earth and man, and the altars used in each are different.

Now what is built here is the altar of human worship, which corresponds to the heavenly pillar erected by Emperor Huaguang in ancient times, and what Lu Yuan built is the smallest altar of sacrifice among human rituals.

However, even if it is small, this altar is also a thousand steps wide in length and width, and has a nine-layer pedestal, each of which is paved with a large number of precious gold and silver utensils, and a large number of runes and rituals are drawn with various psychic materials, which can be described as extremely ingenious.

On the nine-story pedestal, a huge stone pillar carved with a large number of intricate patterns on the surface and three people hugging each other is straight into the clouds, standing high in the center of the altar.

Just looking at this appearance, this altar is exquisite and large-scale, even more majestic and magnificent than the Temple of Heaven that Lu Yuan used when he ascended the throne outside Changsha City before.

It is precisely because of this that the construction of this small altar of human worship requires thousands of manpower, and it can be built for more than a year.

Lu Yuan and Anqiu Zhenren, starting from the bottom layer of the altar, inspected every requirement from corner to corner.

Is there a problem with the array ritual track laid on the ground?

Were the specially prepared gold and silver artifacts placed in the exact place?

Is the masonry layout of each floor in the direction specified?

Is there any deviation in the orientation of the altar?

The stone pillar in the center, the various rune drawings written on it, are there any mistakes?

Many of the above details, if there is a slight error, will affect the effect of the sacrifice, and even lead to the failure of the sacrifice.

Therefore, the two of them also checked very carefully.

Some of the runes, rituals, and artifacts have been buried deep under the steps, and cannot be seen by the naked eye alone.

Fortunately, one of them is an innate grandmaster and an immortal cultivator, and the other is an immortal cultivator, and they have basically cultivated their divine sense.

Therefore, in the face of these things that cannot be seen or touched by the naked eye, I can also release my divine sense, and slowly investigate and confirm it in depth.

It took nearly four hours for such an inspection, and it was almost dark before the inspection was finally completed.

"Very well, you have lived up to my trust."

After Lu Yuan inspected the last stone pillar on the altar, he glanced at Anqiu Zhenren, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with each other, he turned back to look at his disciple Li Qian, and a smile appeared on his face: "You have been supervising work in this poor and remote country for more than a year, and you have suffered a lot for your teacher to handle this matter.

Now that he has completed the entrustment of the teacher, he has made a great contribution.

I remember your previous military position, you were the battalion of the eighth grade, right?

In this way, from now on, you will be the captain of Zhengliupin. After you go back, you go to the military department to take up your post.

There is also martial arts, you are almost second-rate now, here are two pills of divine blood elixir, you take them back, find an opportunity to take them yourself, it is enough to help you break the realm of the switch card. ”

Lu Yuan threw out two jade bottles from his arms, each containing a spirit pill.

Li Qian hurriedly took it, and then knelt down to thank him: "Thank you for your grace." ”

Lu Yuan bowed his hand: "Okay, get up." Now that the altar has been built, you can take someone to clean it up. Evacuate the valley at once, and then seal off the surrounding area for ten miles, and no one is allowed to enter. ”

"Yes, the minister." Li Qian nodded hurriedly, but hesitated for a moment and asked, "King, now that the altar has been built, there is no need for labor, what should we do with those Miao people?" ”

Looking at the meaning of his own king, this valley altar is obviously a secret.

And those Miao laborers know the secrets here, and if they are not properly handled, let them go, for fear of leakage.

Therefore, Li Qian didn't dare to take the idea without authorization, so he had to consult his own king.

Hearing this question, Lu Yuan couldn't help frowning and asked, "How many Miao people are left?" ”

Li Qian said: "After more than a year of hard work, there were originally thousands of Miao people, but more than 200 died, and now there are more than 700 people left. ”

"More than 700 people ......"

Thinking of this number, Lu Yuan hesitated slightly, thought about it, and finally said, "That's it." These people first watched and took custody, and for the time being about the neighborhood. This altar of mine is not only used once, but will be useful in the future.

When this time is over, someone will need to watch here.

Since the altar was built by those Miao people, let's move their families with them and be the caretakers of the altar here. ”

Now with Lu Yuan's marriage with the Five Poisons Sect, the Miao people who originally had a deep hatred with him were like the sea. It's not the same as before, completely unusable to govern and use.

The remaining 700 or so Miao laborers, if they were to kill them all for the sake of secrecy, would still be a little cruel after all.

And he slaughtered at every turn, and it was the population under his command that was at the expense.

In this case, simply use these people as guardians of the altar.

Anyway, those Miao people all live in the mountains, and they moved their families here, and they just re-established a cottage here at the altar.

There is a Miao village to watch, and they can also maintain the altar from time to time, and at the same time prevent foreign enemies from sabotage, and Lu Yuan of the province will send additional people to guard it.

With the temperament of these Miao people who like to live in the mountains and rarely go out, and have their own strict orders, it is enough for them to keep it secret.

In this way, there is no need to kill people, and the role of Miao people can be played, and at the same time, it can be kept secret, and the best of all three worlds.

Li Qian saw that his king had made a decision, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything, but said, "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

Then, Li Qian went down, led a battalion of soldiers, drove those Miao people, and withdrew from the valley together.

Then, according to Lu Yuan's instructions, he divided several teams of men and horses to go to various places in the mountain, and directly blocked the nearby ten-mile area centered on the valley.

Keep this secret place tightly.

After everyone left, only Lu Yuan and Anqiu Zhenren were left in the valley.

……

The mountain breeze is slightly cold, especially when it is late autumn.

The afterglow of the setting sun has completely faded, and the crescent moon in the sky is beginning to show its tip.

"To worship the Heavenly Pillar, you need to first use the altar to help, use the divine soul to attract the power of the Qi Luck and the People's Heart gathered towards you, and then use the power of these Qi and Luck and the Heart to communicate with the three Heavenly Pillars standing between heaven and earth in this realm.

Then wait for the pillar to respond, imprint his soul in the pillar, and establish a connection.

In this way, the sacrifice is considered a success.

From then on, between heaven and earth, as long as the Taoist friends are within a thousand miles of the altar here, they can sense the heavenly pillar, receive the qi of the immortals, and no longer be restrained. ”

Anqiu Zhenren's voice sounded in his ears, and he kept following Lu Yuan to explain the precautions when he was going to sacrifice.

Lu Yuan looked at the stone pillar on the altar, and after blowing the mountain wind quietly for a while, he turned around and looked at Anqiu Zhenren: "Anqiu Daoyou, if there is no problem, then I will start to worship the heavenly pillar." ”

Anqiu Zhenren looked at Lu Yuan, and said with a solemn expression: "Fellow Daoist, please." ”

Lu Yuan nodded, then closed his eyes and concentrated, and the spirit in his body began to perceive the power of qi luck and human hearts outside the body according to the method mentioned in the Taiping Dao book.

After a while, soon in his meditation, the world around him was shrouded in a milky white light.

This brilliance is composed of points of light, and each point of view contains an emotion, in which there are evil and good, joy and sorrow, suffering and happiness, sorrow and laughter, and the desires, expectations, joys, sorrows, and sorrows of countless living beings in the world are all filled with these points of light.

Every point of light represents a person's emotions. At this time, these views converged into an ocean, like a galaxy, and Lu Yuan was in it, only to feel that he was as small as dust.

He came close enough to touch a point of light, and in an instant, emotions were transmitted from within it.

"It's bitter, it's too bitter, why is this world of suffering not over, and there is still another war."

A huge sad thought instantly enveloped Lu Yuan's soul, making him almost unable to hold back his tears.

When I touched all the other points of light, several emotions came.

"Haha, this world is good, this world is good. In the past, when Da Yue was here, I couldn't pass the exam for ten years. Now that Da Yue is gone, Changsha National, I took the exam once and was promoted, and I can finally be an official.

"I'm going to go to war tomorrow, I don't know how many people I can kill, and I won't die."

"It's almost the end of the year, and I haven't earned enough money this year, so it seems that there is no meat this year."

"This autumn harvest is good, and we should be able to eat enough next year."

Information with different identities, different emotions, and different beliefs surfaced in Lu Yuan's mind at the same time.

Under the touch of the soul, he suddenly felt empathy for the emotions in the point of view.

Several emotions were used together, almost driving Lu Yuan crazy, and then he was quickly frightened and withdrew from those views, not daring to contact them easily.

This power of luck and people's hearts is really terrifying, I only came into contact with a few people in this area, and under the meeting of hearts and minds, I almost couldn't support it. If the luck of these millions of people comes together, I am afraid that in an instant, my soul will collapse and die! ’

Lu Yuan looked around him, the dazzling point of light like the Milky Way, and a flash of heart flashed in his eyes.

It's no wonder that the people who practiced the Taiping Taoist Book before would die if they couldn't last two months one by one.

With these poisons of luck and people's hearts, who can not be tortured to death after being exposed to it for a long time, no, and for a short time?

Even the Taiping Taoist Book has a way to isolate the poison of these luck and people's hearts, which can make people's minds not affected. But the price is that his body is overloaded, and he constantly wears out his life, although he will not die in a few days, but he will also not live long.

Practicing this exercise is indeed a pure way to seek death.

Those guys in Danding Dao didn't dare to practice this death-seeking technique, but enthusiastically found others to cultivate, and the viciousness of their minds can be seen.

Thanks to Anqiu, this old guy, he has been smiling all the time.

But every day, he has been urging Lu Yuan to cultivate the Taiping Dao Book, isn't this just urging him to die quickly?

So what I thought earlier was that I would rather risk breaking with Danding Dao than expose my strategy of not being affected by the longevity of the Taiping Dao by using the Five Thunder Books to cover up the Taiping Dao Book, which is correct.

Otherwise, with Dan Dingdao, these thieves are vicious, and they really discovered my secret.

I'm afraid that if you don't do everything, you will come to catch me, and then explore the secrets of me. ’

If Lu Yuan just deceived Danding Dao of some assistance, this would be a big loss for Danding Dao.

With Lu Yuan's current strength, even if Danding Dao wants to retaliate, he has to weigh how much it will cost.

Therefore, it is most likely that the other party will directly seek trouble with him, at most they will secretly use some small means, such as inciting his subordinates to rebel, or provoking the Yue State and the Zhou State to attack him.

And for these troubles, Lu Yuan has the means to deal with them.

But if he faced the pursuit and killing sent by Danding Daoju, then he would be numb.

In the face of the threat of several immortal cultivators, even if he was protected by an army of 100,000, Lu Yuan did not dare to say that he was really not afraid at all.

Not to mention that in reality, it is impossible for him to carry an army of 100,000 at all times.

So for now, we still have to be steady, and we still have to be a little cowardly. Now let's sacrifice the Heavenly Pillar first, and get the ticket to use the aura of heaven and earth as you like.

As for when the lake will be able to get later, it depends on when Danding Dao will find out.

I hope it drags on a little longer. ’

Lu Yuan thought like this in his heart, and then no longer hesitated, and his divine consciousness immediately led the light of the sky to the galaxy according to the Taiping Dao Book.

Then the Milky Way flowed, and an invisible rhythm spread towards the heavens and the earth.

After doing so three times.

In an instant, a huge divine power between heaven and earth came out of thin air, and following each other's traction, it fell to the altar and submerged between the stone pillars.

In the void of Lu Yuan's meditation, you can see a majestic heavenly pillar emitting golden light, which is inserted into the Milky Way in an instant, and with just a slight stirring, it adsorbs the million Milky Way points of light to its surface, forming a little spot of light.

After doing this, the pillar disappeared again.

Meditation in the void, darkness has returned again.

After a while.

Lu Yuan recovered from the shock brought by the mighty Heavenly Pillar just now.

Then I found that I had a faint connection with a great force.

It seemed that as long as he wanted, he could borrow power from that pillar at any time and obtain immortal qi from it.

It's just that despite this, Lu Yuan didn't do this, but slowly opened his eyes.

What caught my eye was the stone pillar that was emitting a golden light, and the old face of the real person next to Anqiu was full of joy.

Well, seeing the latter, Lu Yuan was in a little good mood, but it disappeared in an instant.
