Chapter 168: Mysterious Power (I)
Immediately, after asking about Li Zijun's needs, the orc priest seriously told Shamantha a few words, and then ordered Sara to assist Shamantha and send Li Zijun back.
"Xiexie you!" said Shamantha to Li Zijun with some embarrassment after Sara left.
"It's nothing! The orcs saved my life, and I should make a certain report. It's just that I hope that the description of the pass-through therapy 'harmless to the body' is true!" Li Zijun looked at Shamantha and raised an eyebrow in response.
"You know I'm not talking about that, I'm thankful that you're willing to believe me!"
"Anyway, I'll agree anyway, it's better to give you this favor!"
"We are indeed a little difficult in this matter, but the Sacrifice Lord did not lie to you about the transfer therapy! After this ceremony, not only will your body fully recover without leaving any sequelae, but it will also strengthen your body to a certain extent, which will be of great help to your cultivation in the future!"
"It's just..." Shamantha became a little hesitant, which also made Li Zijun's little heart that he had just put down hang in the air again.
"Just what? Can you just tell me about the unpleasant influence?"
"There's nothing wrong with the ritual itself, it's just that Benedictine will probably ask you to make an oath beforehand, so that he doesn't have to worry, once we heal you, you'll take the opportunity to leave here! ”
"This is also a very normal request, 'villain first, then gentleman', this is a guarantee for both parties! Oh, you said his name is 'Benedictine sacrifice', right, I will readily accept his request!"
"As a token of your gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, I will protect you until the end of the operation. I will never let you be harmed in any way until I fall!" Shamantha assured Li Zijun with unusual solemnity.
"Don't say it so tragically, didn't Benedictine sacrifice say that in the legend, I will win, don't worry so much!"
"Besides, I believe in you, but I think you are worth believing, this is the fate between us, and you don't need to do anything dangerous to repay me. I hope that after this incident, we can all live happily and happily!" Li Zijun said with a smile. But then he realized that he had mentioned 'fate', 'we', and 'life', which gave him a bit of other meaning, and he hurriedly closed his mouth.
Li Zijun's somewhat deliberate behavior made Shamantha finally realize something, and she couldn't help but blush when she thought of the scene she had just made her stay.
"According to your estimate, when will the other sacrifices be able to arrive here?" Li Zijun was speechless, trying to break the awkward silence in the room.
"We orcs have a set of proven methods for transmitting information, and the other sacrifices will get the news before today. Within three days, all the sacrifices who are willing to participate in the ritual will appear here!"
The fact Zuihou proved Shamantha's claim, and on the third day, a total of eight orc priests arrived here. Thinking that in such a huge canyon, information was transmitted so quickly, Li Zijun couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
The orc sacrifices obviously had a long idea of today's situation, and it only took them one day to make all the preparations for Li Zijun's injuries
After all this was done, Li Zijun was once again brought before the Benedictine sacrifice.
"My lord, we hope that before you heal your wounds, you will make such an oath: after your injuries are healed by us, you can lead our orc warriors to resolve the plight of our orcs!"
"Lord Sacrifice, I can only swear to you: I will do my best! As for whether Zuihou can succeed or not, I really can't guarantee you!" Li Zijun's responsibility to the orc clan is limited to this operation to save the water temperature of the Niger River, and he never wants to be hindered in the future. Especially under the disguised threat of the orc race, Li Zijun was even more reluctant to have more promises mixed in.
Benedict also understood the dissatisfaction in Li Zijun's heart, they were only using each other at the moment, and he didn't want to force Li Zijun too much, so he nodded and agreed with Li Zijun's statement.
After Li Zijun made his vow, he was picked up by Shamantha and followed the orc sacrifices to a cave behind the waterfall.
After entering the cave, Li Zijun was placed on top of a slightly raised stone in the cave. As soon as he sat down, he noticed the difference. The position he was sitting in at the moment was unusually hot, but fortunately, it was still within his bearing, and he insisted and did not raise any objections.
Seeing that Li Zijun was sitting in this position and did not ask to be removed immediately, several other priests who were originally a little suspicious also showed affirmative eyes at this moment, and they took the initiative to find their places and sit down.
To Li Zijun's surprise, they did not ring around themselves as he imagined, but sat behind him in a staggered manner.
At the same time, more than a dozen ordinary orc clans were arranged in front of Li Zijun and sat in a straight line. After Shamantha and Sara let go of Lee Zi-jun, they were both asked to leave.
Just when Li Zijun was figuring out the reason for the orc sacrifice sitting position, the orc sacrifice was activated, and the prayers of all the sacrifices sounded in the cave.
In fact, the so-called 'prayer' is just a statement given by Li Zijun according to the ritual mentioned by Shamantha. He couldn't understand what they were saying, and the orc sacrifice was obviously using a language that Li Zijun was not familiar with. And it's more appropriate to say that the orc sacrifices are not so much praying, but that they are roaring!
It's just that the way the priests speak is different, some high, some low, some strong, some weak. But it doesn't sound chaotic, but it is combined into a melody that is not unpleasant. This was the first time Li Zijun had seen such a way of praying, and his heart couldn't help but be full of curiosity.
But it was only a moment of effort, and Li Zijun was not in the mood to study this melody! With the 'prayer' of the orc sacrifice, a mysterious liliang that made him feel both familiar and unfamiliar entered his body.
is strange because Li Zijun didn't realize that there is still this kind of liliang in heaven and earth, and he has always thought that 'aura' is the origin of liliang. But today's facts show that his previous philosophy is not entirely correct, and there is another kind of liliang in this shijie. Moreover, this mysterious liliang seems to be purer and more powerful than the aura!
The reason why Li Zijun felt that this liliang was familiar was not only because it was the driving force that supported the vitality of the blue forest, it seemed that a part of it originally existed in his body, but he didn't realize it before he came again.
In the process of this mysterious liliang constantly entering Li Zijun's body, he gradually discovered that it was not unique to him, and everyone in this cave was more or less, strong or weak. Its strength and weakness seem to have something to do with an individual's age and cultivation, but it doesn't seem to be so absolute. At this moment, among the sacrifices behind Li Zijun, there was a person whose part of Liliang was significantly weaker than an ordinary orc in front of him. Such a discovery not only did not help him in any way, but made him feel confused and confused!
Soon, Li Zijun felt that the part of Liliang that entered his body did not come from anyone, it came from this cave entirely. To be precise, it comes from the hot stone that Li Zijun is sitting on at the moment!
The orc priests probably didn't have the method to use this liliang, they just discovered some of the mysteries of this liliang and found a way to trigger this liliang to operate.
Having made such a judgment, Li Zijun finally understood that they would arrange themselves in this place!
After this liliang entered Li Zijun's body, it was quickly and evenly distributed throughout his body. Li Zijun tried to use various methods to control this liliang, but he soon found that all his efforts were in vain and did not have any effect on this liliang at all. It's just that he didn't give up, he repeatedly recalled the books that his grandfather left him about the method of Liliang's control, and continued to experiment.
At the same time as Li Zijun's unremitting efforts, this mysterious liliang has filled every cell in his body.
The orc priests seemed to be aware of this, and their prayer voices suddenly changed in unison.
"Bang!" Li Zijun felt countless fine needles pierce his body, and a mouthful of black blood was immediately spurted out of his body, and he groaned in pain.
It's just that Li Zijun's pain doesn't end there, or this is just the beginning. As the orc priests prayed, Li Zijun repeatedly endured the pain of ten thousand needles piercing his body, blood began to seep out of every pore, and his moans gradually turned into wails.
Li Zijun's voice was extremely miserable, and Shamantha outside the cave was also startled, she had heard of the pain of this ritual, but she never expected that Li Zijun would be subjected to such great torture, and she couldn't help but regret what she had done to persuade Li Zijun in the first place. But now that everything is over, she can only pray silently for Li Zijun in her heart.
Seeing that Shamantha actually cared so much about a foreigner who had only known her for a few days, but always ignored herself, Sarah's eyes became more and more vicious!
I don't know how long it took, but just when Li Zijun felt that his patience had reached the limit, he suddenly felt himself shake violently. Immediately, Li Zijun found that his pain was gone!
Not only that, Li Zijun felt as if he had suddenly flown up. He soon realized that it wasn't his delusion, that he was really flying, and that he didn't feel any pain anymore and flew to the top of the cave with ease.
