At this time, Qin Wen's heart also jumped, there is no fixed price for spars, but as a currency that can also be circulated, a spar the size of a carved haode to the knuckle of the little finger is also worth thousands of high-grade spirit stones, which is also the price calculated when encountering the auction of valuables in general large-scale auction places.

Even if Lao Gao is removed, Xiang Hao can shoot five spars at one time, he can also see that he is determined to win the purple pulp essence, thinking of this, Qin Wen couldn't help but smile on his face, he will be Xiang Hao's Danshi worship in the future, and it should be good to meet a gold-rich proprietor.

Guan Shuo's face sank at this time and said: "You are all brothers who have followed me Guan Shuo for many years to fight in the field, the matter discussed today is very important, not a word can be leaked, this time to go to Gucheng Mountain are all monks above the upper level of Xuanshi, except for Xiang Gongzi and Qin Wen, all of you here will arrive at this meeting place in the afternoon of the next three days." As he spoke, he tapped the small green flag with his hand.

Qin Wen thought of the Transformation Pill in his storage silk bag at this time, so it was better to take this opportunity to go to the Bluestone Beach with them, and give the Transformation Pill to the blue-eyed spirit carving who had taken care of him for a few months, so he spoke: "City Lord, I still have some things to do when I go to the Bluestone Beach in a few days, can I go with you?"

Guan Shuo hesitated slightly, and seeing that Xiang Hao didn't have any opinions, he nodded and said, "Okay, after you arrive at Bluestone Beach, you can finish things as soon as possible, and then wait in the camp." ”

After arranging all the things, everyone left the back hall one after another, and the road steward led the Great Elder and Qin Wen to return from the same way, and after leaving the house from the side door, the two returned to the inn, and seeing that it was still early, they checked out of the city and returned to the Qin Manor.

After returning to the manor, the Great Elder told the other four elders about the time set by the city lord, asked them to make preparations separately, and then told the patriarch that he was going out to do some things, and if he encountered something difficult, he could go to the Shangguan family of the alliance to ask for help.

Three days later, the five elders came to the gathering place early with Qin Wen, and after a while, the other monks also rushed over one after another, and before noon, all the monks had already arrived, Guan Shuo counted the number of people, and waved his hand: "Enter the mountain." ”

They walked the same route as Qin Wen and Xiang Hao when they went out of the mountain, along the way, Lao Gao led the way in front, behind him was Gao Zhang, Guan Shuo was in the middle of the group of monks, Qin Wen and the five elders of the Qin family walked in the back position, and Zuihou was followed by a monk who was down the rank of Xuanshi.

At the beginning of the half-day walk was very smooth, just when passing by a narrow valley, Lao Gao in front suddenly stopped, made a stop gesture to the back, the people behind all stopped, Guan Shuo Chuanyin asked: "Gao Lao, what's wrong?"

Lao Gao also came back with a voice: "My divine sense has found that there is a tribe's habitat in front of me, and what ceremony they should be holding now, I'll check it first." After speaking, he patted Gao Zhang behind him, signaled him to wait for a while, and flew out of the valley lightly.

After a few breaths, Lao Gao returned to Guan Shuo's side and whispered: "Guan City Lord, above the valley is another valley mouth, there is a tribe in it that is holding a ceremony at the valley mouth, it looks very solemn, I don't know much about the Hu people, and I don't know what the ceremony is. ”

Guan Shuo frowned slightly and said, "The ritual of the Hu people, do they have many high-level saint masters?" Let's find a hidden place to see." ”

Lao Gao thought for a while and said, "It's just an ordinary tribe, there are no high-level mages, if we are above the valley, no one should find out." ”

Guan Shuo nodded at this time, and then waved his hand to gather all the monks and said: "There is a tribe of Hu people in front of me who is doing a ritual, everyone follows Elder Gao, find a hidden place to see what the ceremony is, if it is not long, let's wait for the ceremony to be completed before leaving." ”

Everyone nodded, and then followed Lao Gao to the mouth of the valley above, Qin Wen also crouched on the hillside and looked down, below is a crescent-shaped valley, about a hundred acres of square area, in which hundreds of strong Hu men gathered, in the middle of the valley surrounded by a ten-zhang square clearing.

In the middle of the clearing, there was a stone platform carved with strange patterns, on the stone platform, an old man with a white beard was worshipping the heavens reverently, and under the stone platform in front of him were kneeling a dozen shirtless teenagers, all with an emerald green rattan wrapped around their backs.

It is already early winter, and the ordinary rattan has long withered and yellowed, Qin Wen knows that the rattan on these teenagers must be spiritual creatures, and then he saw a barefoot girl next to him with a black veil on her face, passing by each teenager, holding a black jade bowl in her hand, and every time she passes by a teenager, she will dip some water from the bowl and sprinkle it on the rattan.

The rattan will expand at the speed of the naked eye, and the upper body of the teenagers will tremble slightly, but when the water droplets have passed, the rattan will slowly return to its original shape.

At this time, the monks next to him were lying on the hillside to see, and gradually Gao Zhang's eyes showed a hint of shock, and his face was a little excited to arrange a soundproof barrier around the monk, Guan Shuo felt his movements, knowing that he should have made a discovery, and when the barrier was arranged, he asked: "Gao Zhang, what did you find?"

Gao Zhang's face turned slightly red and said, "City Lord, we are really lucky this time." Below this is a hundred-year blood sacrifice of the Hu tribe. ”

"Blood sacrifice?" Guan Shuo also showed a shocked look on his face, but he also said with a little puzzlement: "Isn't the blood sacrifice of the Hu people held near the Holy Mountain?

Gao Zhang's tone of affirmation said: "I went to the Holy Mountain two hundred years ago to investigate the military situation, and I saw the blood sacrifice of a tribe there, maybe now the influence of the Holy Mountain is declining, and this tribe has settled here this year, so I held a blood sacrifice here." ”

Guan Shuo's eyes flashed with a blazing light at this time, and said, "Are you sure?"

Gao Zhang said firmly: "The subordinates can guarantee with their heads." ”

Lao Gao asked with some confusion, "What is the Blood Sacrifice?"

Guan Shuo glanced at the Hu ritual below, it should be some time before it started, so he explained: "The blood sacrifice is a ritual handed down from ancient times by the Hu people, and the blood sacrifice is generally held by the tribe once every hundred years, and the tribe that holds the blood sacrifice must have pure blood. ”

"During the time of the unification of the Hu tribe in Metuo, all the blood sacrifices were held on the Holy Mountain, and the influence of the Holy Mountain on the tribe gradually decreased over the years, but this is the first time I have heard of blood sacrifices held here near the Muzha Pass. ”

Speaking of this, he paused again and said: "The blood sacrifice is an important ceremony for a tribe to select a holy master, on the day of the blood sacrifice, the eligible Hu people and young people must be baptized, and then kneel down and pray to the heavens, and a holy master will preside over the ceremony, at the beginning of the ceremony, all the adult men in the tribe will be extracted by the holy master A drop of essence blood, and then a secret method will be used to fuse the essence and blood, gathering into a drop of purple-gold spiritual blood. ”

Hearing this, Lao Gao's face changed slightly: "You mean that the two drops of purple gold spiritual blood treasured in the Great Qi royal family came from this way?"

Guan Shuo nodded and said: "The blood gathered is the purple gold spiritual blood, it is rumored that this kind of spiritual thing needed in the secret method of integrating essence and blood can only appear once in the holy mountain for thousands of years, and each time it is distributed by the leaders of the major tribes, the tribe that holds this kind of ceremony, even if it is not a big tribe, the bloodline must be very pure." ”

"After this kind of purple gold spiritual blood is fused, if the baptized Hu people below have a bloodline that is stimulated, and after swallowing the purple gold spiritual blood, they will become the new holy master of this tribe, and they can also automatically comprehend many secret methods of Hu people's cultivation. ”

Lao Gao thought for a moment and said, "Then what if no one's blood is stimulated?"

Guan Shuo smiled slightly: "This drop of purple gold spiritual blood will be swallowed by the holy master who presides over the ceremony, and it will be used to restore the consumed vitality, the vitality consumed by this ritual is huge, every time a new holy master appears, basically the old holy master who presided over the ceremony has to retreat for hundreds of years to recover, and some even die directly on the holy platform." ”

Hearing this, Qin Wen couldn't help but nodded, this should be a kind of bloodline inheritance ceremony of the Hu people, it seems that this purple gold spiritual blood should be very precious, seeing that everyone was watching the actions of the Hu people below, he opened his mouth and asked: "City Lord, what will happen to this purple gold spiritual blood if our monks take it?"

Guan Shuo thought for a while and replied: "I haven't heard of this being taken by monks, but the original general Wu of Chifeng Pass once got a drop and paid tribute to the royal family, and he was directly crowned a hereditary marquis. ”

Speaking of this, he turned around and discussed with Lao Gao: "Elder Gao, since I happened to encounter this rare ceremony today, I am ready to take the purple gold spirit blood over, what do you think?"

Lao Gao hesitated for a moment and said, "If the purple gold spirit blood is taken away, then our traces will definitely be exposed, which will be detrimental to going to Gucheng Mountain." ”

Guan Shuo pointed to the east with his hand at this time and said, "After we have captured the purple gold spirit blood, we will withdraw from this road again, and then go to Qingshitan from the second road prepared yesterday, and the Hu people should not follow us." ”

Seeing Lao Gao nodded, Guan Shuo arched his hand towards the monk beside him and said, "Brothers, listen to my orders to go down and seize the purple gold spirit blood in a while, as long as you get the purple gold spirit blood today, I will give each brother a thousand high-grade spirit stones." ”

Except for Lao Gao, these monks were all old subordinates who followed Guan Shuo to fight in the field, and when they heard Guan Shuo's words, they all agreed in unison.
