Without any hesitation, Duan Chen took the animal skin and said, "The second treasure will be chosen for it." ”

King Shang glanced at the animal skin in Duan Chen's hand, and stopped talking.

Duan Chen pretended not to see it, and continued, "As for the third treasure, choose that bloodthirsty magic spear." ”

Although that storage ring was not bad, it was not necessary for Duan Chen, and although the bloodthirsty magic spear was a little weird, considering that the five spirit spears had been destroyed, if he didn't choose this bloodthirsty magic spear, he wouldn't be able to use his spear skills.

The Shang King was not surprised at all by the third choice with Duan Chen, he still cared more about Duan Chen's reason for choosing the animal skin, but until Duan Chen was finally sent away from the Great Shang Palace, he still couldn't ask.

And Duan Chen, who returned to the county lord's mansion, after saying hello to Nangong Yao and the others, returned to the room, closed the door, and took out the animal skin he had just gotten and spread it on the ground.

He didn't take the water shield out of the storage bag immediately, but planned to cut open the hide first to see what was hidden inside.

As a result, Duan Chen found that the tenacity of this animal skin was so strong that even the ghost spirit blade that had reached the level of a medium-grade magic weapon could not be destroyed, and then he tried to urge the Jiuyang Demon Body to tear it hard, but there was still no way to take this animal skin.

Next, Duan Chen tried to refine this animal skin through the Blood Refining Secret Technique, but the animal skin still had no reaction.

At this time, I only heard the Seven Dead Demon Lord speak: "You take out that water shield and try it to see what will happen." ”

Duan Chen was about to take the water shield out of the storage bag, and the animal skin, which had been unresponsive, suddenly flew up and wrapped the water shield.

The body of the water shield is a palm-sized blue crystal shield, which only grows larger when it is urged by spiritual power.

Duan Chen stared at the animal skin that wrapped the water shield, his eyes were full of curiosity and incomprehension, after all, he really couldn't see any connection between these two things, but they both reacted to each other.

He wasn't sure what was going to happen next.

Of course, he knew the origin of the Lishui Shield, which was related to Lishui Zhenren, and the animal skin was obtained by the second generation of Shang Wang, the only thing Duan Chen could be sure of was that there was absolutely no intersection between Lishui Zhenren and the second generation of Shang King.

Because the former is a figure from 500 years ago, while the latter is a character from more than 1,000 years ago, I am afraid that when the second generation of Shang King died, Lishui Zhenren had not yet been born, and it was naturally impossible for the two to know each other.

But it's very strange that two people who can't know each other have left something behind that is now inducing.

Maybe these two things come from the same source?" Duan Chen guessed in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that wisps of blue liquid suddenly began to ooze from the surface of the animal skin that wrapped the water shield.

Duan Chen's heart was excited.

Sure enough, there is a change!

Under Duan Chen's gaze, the blue liquid oozing from the animal skin seemed to be pulled by an invisible brush, constantly outlining lines on the surface of the animal skin, the lines were very clear, containing a natural Tao rhyme, as if a painting master was painting on it.

As more and more lines were drawn by the blue liquor on the hide, it gradually combined to form an ancient pattern.

Duan Chen's gaze and mind were firmly attracted by this ancient pattern, and his consciousness suddenly became a little blurred, and when he came to his senses, the surrounding scenery was large

Change.

This is a strange world, vast and far away, but it is full of incomparably rich aura, and in some places the aura is even so rich that it gathers into a spiritual mist, if you can cultivate in such an environment, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

However, Duan Chen tried to use the Demon Immortal One Thought Method to absorb these aura, but found that he couldn't absorb it at all.

"Could it be an illusion?" Duan Chen secretly guessed in his heart, and with the change of the surrounding scene, he inexplicably came to a forest.

As far as he could see, he had never seen anything before, such as multicolored mushrooms taller than people, trees taller than mountain peaks, and lakes as endless as the ocean.

And not far from this lake, Daze, Duan Chen discovered a tribe, a barbarian tribe that had already embarked on the path of cultivation.

Duan Chen didn't know much about the barbarians, he only knew that in ancient times, the barbarian tribes had flourished for a while, and then suddenly disappeared.

In addition, he also knew that the barbarian monks cultivated the power of totem, and used the power of totem to gather faith, and then tattooed on the body, so that they could use the power of the totem to fight the enemy by casting barbarian spells.

Could it be that the animal skin originated from some barbarian tribe in ancient times?

Duan Chen thought thoughtfully.

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and among the barbarian tribes, a huge bonfire was set up at some point, and on the altar next to the bonfire, a shirtless man with a straw skirt around his waist and a grimace mask on his face was waving the drum cone in his hand and beating the animal skin drum in front of him, and the low drum sound was transmitted, heavy and powerful, hitting people's hearts.

And with the sound of drums, a huge animal skin was carried out by a group of barbarian monks, and it seemed to be painted with the totem of this tribe, which seemed to be a giant snake, and the strokes were very rough, whether it was a snake or an earthworm, anyway, Duan Chen was also guessing.

After the totem was lifted, it was placed on the altar, and in front of it was a bloody offering.

Then a gray-haired barbarian monk walked to the altar on crutches and began to sacrifice the totem of the tribe, behind him, a large number of barbarian monks knelt on the ground, their mouths opened with great reverence, and told the ancient sacrificial words of the barbarians.

However, halfway through the sacrifice, the tribe's strong enemies were killed.

Two different barbarian tribes fought fiercely on the shores of the lake.

In the end, the Giant Snake Barbarian Tribe won and annexed another Barbarian Tribe, and the totem of this Barbarian Tribe was also painted on the animal skin by the Giant Serpent Barbarian Tribe, and fused with the original Giant Serpent Totem, turning into a flying snake with wings on its back.

Time is ticking, the scene is changing, and this Flying Snake barbarian tribe is becoming stronger and more powerful, and has swallowed up many barbarian tribes.

And the totemic image on the animal skin is also constantly changing, gradually becoming more ferocious, resembling a unicorn, or a unicorn.

Just when Duan Chen thought that this barbarian tribe would continue to become more and more powerful, they were defeated by another barbarian tribe.

It was an incomparably powerful barbarian tribe, and the defeated barbarian tribe monks finally began to flee with their totems, but in the process of fleeing, the animal skin painted with the totem was lost.

The surviving barbarian monks began to embark on a journey to find the totem, and so went on year after year.

The final picture of the illusion

Stayed in the back of a group of barbarian monks looking for the totem far away.

When Duan Chen came back to his senses, he found that he had returned to the room, and his hands were empty.

Strange, what about the skin? What about the water shield?

Duan Chen was stunned, and hurriedly sent a voice to ask what happened to the Seven Demon Lords.

The Seven Demon Lords didn't know what Duan Chen had just experienced, but he witnessed the whole process of the disappearance of the beast skin and the water shield, and immediately spoke, "Look at your back. ”

Duan Chen's heart was shocked, and the power of his divine sense quickly swept across his back, and the pupils in his eyes shrank.

At this moment, there was an extra totem pattern on the skin of his back, and this totem pattern was exactly the same as the lost unicorn totem he saw in the illusion.

Could it be that the animal skin he got in the treasure house of the Great Shang was the totem animal skin lost by the tribe at the beginning?

But why did the totem on the skin run to his back?

Duan Chen was puzzled in his heart, but now was obviously not the time to think about this.

Compared with these, Duan Chen was more worried about whether it would have some kind of adverse effect on himself if it suddenly ran onto his back.

Thinking of this, Duan Chen couldn't help but ask, "Senior, there shouldn't be any problem with this totem, right?"

The Seven Demon Lords heard the worry in Duan Chen's tone, and said lightly: "Don't worry, although this totem has already opened its spiritual wisdom, it is now so weak that it is about to die, but it can't hurt you even a single hair." ”

Duan Chen's face turned green when he heard that the Qilin Totem on his back had been opened.

He immediately asked, "Senior, is there any way to take it off?"

The Seven Demon Lords played with the taste: "Why do you want to take it off, it's rare to encounter a psychic totem, aren't you interested in its origin?"

Duan Chen was really not interested at all, or he already knew the origin of the other party, what was the interest to feel?

Immediately, he told the Seven Demon Lords everything he had seen in the illusion.

After hearing this, the Seven Demon Lords showed a look of sudden realization on their faces: "No wonder it can live until now, the monk of the barbarian tribe at the beginning, I am afraid that it has not been completely extinct until now." ”

Duan Chen didn't know much about the way of totems, and said strangely: "Senior, how do you know that they are not yet extinct?"

The Seven Demon Lord explained: "The totem lives on the power of faith, if you have to pull it hard, you can belong to the line of Shinto, you have not died on the back of this totem until now, it means that someone has been providing it with the power of faith, otherwise it would have been doomed." ”

"I see. Duan Chen nodded, and then asked, "Is Divine Dao another cultivation system different from cultivating immortals?"

The Seven Demon Lords didn't want to spend too much effort explaining this question, but seeing that Duan Chen was interested in it, he simply explained what he knew.

After listening to this, Duan Chen realized that the so-called Shinto Dao was another cultivation system that existed before the Immortal Dao.

From the beginning of the primeval period until the end of the ancient period, there have been people who have been practicing Shinto, and the practice of Shinto until the later stage requires the power of faith, and in order to gather the power of faith of all beings, it is necessary to build statues of gods and lead all beings to worship.

This is similar to the totemic way of the barbarians.
