Chapter 37: Change

When Shangguan Yi and Fu Changan colluded (?), other forces also took action.

In the Li clan of Miaojiang, a group of clan elders are guarding under an altar, and they are also waiting. The younger ones waited anxiously for the results to come out farther away. On the altar, a middle-aged man held a strange sacrificial prop, walked with implicit steps, said words in his mouth, closed his eyes, and seemed to be measuring something.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and watched the two Gu worms in the vessel gradually turn red, red to black, and the original fierce appearance disappeared, lying there motionless. He sighed imperceptibly, with his skills, he could vaguely guess that this was the result before the sacrifice to the sky, but it was a pity.

Then he carefully closed the utensils, stepped down from the altar, handed them to the two children, and told them to take care of them, and then announced the result to the elders who were holding their breath: "If you go, you will be a murderer, and the chance of survival is almost zero." The sacrificial order was passed on, and all the people in Miao Jiang stayed away from Cangwu Mountain during this time, and the backbone of all ethnic groups dared to go to Cangwu Mountain without authorization, and they were directly expelled from Miao Jiang without asking the reason. After the matter is over, I will open the altar again to worship the heavens, and then I will make arrangements. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the people under the altar were shocked, even though they were all very old and had seen a lot of things, but they were still surprised. Because this is a sacrificial order, many Miaojiang people have never encountered a high priest issuing a sacrificial order in their lives.

Without him, this is determined by the nature of Miaojiang, the geographical environment of Miaojiang is very harsh, and the territory is not small, the number of people is very small in comparison, and the distribution is based on ethnic groups. Passed down from generation to generation, the existence of one of them is the most important, maybe they have no combat power, and they can't even raise Gu and refine poison, but there has never been a Miao Jiang person who looks down on them, because it is they and their ancestors who have guided the Miao people to pass on to the present.

Such a person is called a priest, commanded by heaven, and preached to men. The strongest of them is called the high priest, and he lives near the altar of the Li tribe if there is no accident in his life, holding the sacrificial token and planning for the life and death of Miao Jiang. If he felt the need, he would issue a sacrificial order and force the order. Such an order is the highest order recognized by all Miao Jiang people, because it is related to the rise and fall and even the survival of Miao Jiang. The enforcers of the sacrificial order are the Li people, who are responsible for ensuring that the sacrificial order is carried out accurately.

Priests will not meddle in the affairs of Miao Jiang unless necessary, and even the most ancient and mysterious clan leader, the Li clan, will not casually interfere in the affairs of other ethnic groups. But once they decide to intervene, then this matter is not negotiable, this is the law of Miao Jiang. It seems to be a bit overbearing and ruthless, but existence is reasonable, and the rules that have been passed down from generation to generation always have a certain truth.

"But the High Priest, that's the Spirit Snake Red Flame, isn't it okay to let it go? "A clan elder hesitated, but still questioned, they could not have the Vermilion Bird Fruit, but the Spirit Snake Red Flame had to be taken back.

It's not that the old man of this clan is greedy or anything, but this time the matter is too important to the Miao people, but the result of the sacrifice to the sky is positive, not to mention the other backbones, the old men here have plans to go out in person, if the situation is not right, the dispatch of stronger old monsters is just a matter of passing a word.

You must know that the spirit snake Red Flame is a spirit seed, which can command a hundred insects, and it is a totem-like existence for the Miao people, countless Miao people have only seen it on the totem pole on the altar, and there is one in Cangwu Mountain. Since this news was learned, the people of Miao Jiang couldn't sit still and wanted to pick it up and live in Miao Jiang's base camp. But the spirit snake refused, it wants to guard the Vermilion Bird Fruit, this is its mission, the fruit is in the snake, if it is not there, the snake will be dead.

There is no way, in the past few hundred years, the people of Miao Jiang have slowly infiltrated Cangwu Mountain, and even directly built a village under Cangwu Mountain, just for the sake of the Spirit Snake Red Flame. But after guarding the spirit snake for so long, he suddenly said that he would give up and evacuate Cangwu Mountain, and he couldn't accept this result.

"I know what you mean, but I'm sorry, I'm a priest, and I'm first responsible for my mission, so please obey the command. The high priest's words silenced the elders, and they each left to arrange this matter.

Yes, they wanted to take the spirit snake home, why didn't the high priest want to? But he didn't dare to pay for Miao Jiang's future, and no one dared.

After this sacrifice, the backbone of Miao Jiang and above basically died down, and they could only pay attention, hoping that the spirit snake would escape, and they didn't dare to make any small moves.

But there are always people who are exceptions, such a long time of watching, totem-like existence, it is not so easy to give up, even if you give up the identity of the Miao people, you have to fight. These people even included the youngest son of the Li patriarch.

"Father, we really gave up like this? I can't accept this result! Just because of his words, all the efforts of the ancestors have become useless, and the treasures and totems have been handed over, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has been given up, and I am not reconciled. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy roared in the room, his voice full of unwillingness.

The patriarch of the Li clan saw it in his eyes, sighed, and said: "If you want to go, you can go, I stop you, you may not listen to me, lock you at home, you will not give up, and even complain about me." There are not a few people in the clan who have this kind of idea of you, and I will not stop you from going, but as the high priest said, as long as you step into Cangwu Mountain, you will no longer have anything to do with Miao Jiang. We will not care about your life and death, your grudges. ”

The youngest son Li Hua was stunned for a moment, and said with a little resentment: "Father, you are so ruthless, do you want to cut off relations with me just because of a word from an outsider?"

The patriarch shook his head, his eyes full of wisdom showed a little helplessness, a little heartache, and finally said: "Maybe it's not that I'm ruthless, but that you're too confused." And he left the room, leaving him alone.

Ignoring the persuasion of others, Li Hua still chose to leave the Miao clan with a bunch of people, he wanted to get the Vermilion Bird Fruit and subdue the Spirit Snake Red Flame. Let his father know how wrong he was to believe in the high priest, let him know that he is old and confused, and that the future of the Miao people should be led by him, and he will lead the Miao people to prosperity.

As for the other forces, they are not like Miao Jiang, where the clans are united, and they have this kind of power to worship the heavens and pray for good fortune. Most of the people who are interested in fighting have sent a team of people to grab, such as the forces of the major imperial courts, the secret guards of some families, etc., basically each team has one or two masters of the double heaven to lead the team, and the others are basically one heavy heaven, and the overall strength is quite good.

In contrast, the combination of Shangguan Yi and Fu Changan is much weaker, and the two and a half old children have no deterrent power at all.

For this kind of thing, Fu Changan didn't care at all, Shangguan Yi was still a little worried at first, although the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Fu Changan's strength must be good, but two fists are difficult to beat four hands, the higher you go, the more difficult it is to have more enemies. But since he followed Fu Changan to complete a group annihilation operation, he no longer had the idea of questioning.

Yes, they annihilated a team.

In fact, there is one point, Shangguan Yi is not wrong, that is, it is still fast to rush alone. With the addition of Fu Changan, the eye-catching degree of their combination was directly pulled to the point of Max, and some people even came to look for trouble. I have to say that even if Fu Changan is still a child, she is enough to be called a red face and a disaster.

What kind of character Fu Changan is, Shangguan Yi hasn't figured it out yet, but one thing is certain, she is not a soft-hearted person. annoyed her, saying that killing people would not leave a living mouth.

The reason was actually that the people in that team were molesting Fu Changan, but Fu Changan didn't react, but Shangguan Yi said a few casually that they were furious, and they were going to cut Shangguan Yi when they picked up weapons. But Fu Changan said that he would take care of Shangguan Yi, so he naturally wouldn't sit idly by at this time, he drew his sword and went up, his subordinates were merciless, and the decisive appearance of killing people was a little terrifying.

Shangguan Yi is like this because even if the time is pulled back for more than two years, even if there are people with the strength of the double heaven on the other side, and there are two, they still can't stop her from killing. She was so unreasonable that Shangguan Yi wondered if she was hanging. But fortunately, this is a teammate, the stronger the teammate, the better, you look at the other side, the killed one lost his armor and lost his armor, he had no ability to resist at all, and he couldn't run away if he wanted to, because the speed was not as fast as Fu Changan.

So the final result was that the dough was destroyed, Fu Changan took almost all the heads, Shangguan Yi and a person at the peak of the heavens went head-to-head and won, which was also his only head.

Now think about it, what people say: When the time comes, push all the way over and get something. Maybe it's not just talking.

When this idea came to Shangguan Yi's mind, he shook his head amusefully and waved away this unrealistic idea. This incident is a big deal for Miao Jiang, even if the great master of the Triple Heaven is sent over, it is completely possible. No matter how strong Fu Changan is, he can't be stronger than the people of Triple Heaven, right?

Shangguan Yi sorted out the gains of that battle and gave himself a score of eight with satisfaction.

I have to say that once you have trust, everything else will be easy to do. Ever since Shangguan Yi decided to trust Fu Changan, he cheekily pestered Fu Changan to ask this and that. Fu Changan is not annoyed, and her attitude of answering questions can be said to be quite responsible, and even sometimes if the food suits her appetite, she will take the initiative to point out the inappropriate places in Shangguan Yi's cultivation.

As the saying goes, three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang. Although Shangguan Yi didn't know how high Fu Changan's martial arts attainments were, he felt that Fu Changan could always point out and solve his problems with a pinpoint in one fell swoop. Therefore, during this time, Shangguan Yi's entry is still extremely fast, of course, mainly in swordsmanship, and there is still no breakthrough in "Dao Law", otherwise Shangguan Yi's combat effectiveness will be qualitatively improved, and it will not be too delayed in the upcoming war.

However, Shangguan Yi didn't dwell too much on this, the boat went straight to the bridge, and he honestly cooked for the big guy, don't think about so many bells and whistles.

After a few days of traveling, Shangguan Yi took Fu Changan to the Miao village at the foot of Cangwu Mountain, preparing to rest here and inquire about information. The strange thing is that although there are people here, most of them are from the Central Plains, and a few Miaojiang people also feel that they are not the aborigines here, and they are even full of anger, which is a bit unlike Miaojiang, which has no quarrel with the world. Most of the houses were empty, and even many things were still inside, which was enough to show that they were in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to pack up their things.

After Shangguan Yi told Fu Changan about this situation, the latter also rarely showed a little solemn look.

"Maybe there's something wrong with their ritual of sacrificing to the sky, otherwise nothing can have such a big impact, you have to be careful, maybe the Miao Jiang people you meet now are all outcasts. Fu Changan cautiously told him.

Shangguan Yi was shocked, and he also knew the seriousness of the situation, Miao Jiang's abandoned sons were generally people who violated their principled orders, such people could never return to their homes, and life and death had nothing to do with Miao Jiang. Such a person is quite angry, like a mad dog, saying that he will drag you to the end, and he may not be humble with you for a second. Such a person is the most terrifying person, Shangguan Yi nodded cautiously, and went to inquire about the information, he naturally went to the Central Plains people, and did not dare to approach those Miaojiang people.

Sure enough, not long ago, Miao Jiang issued a notice that regardless of the cause and result, the Miao Jiang people who chose to participate in the affairs of Cangwu Mountain would be expelled from Miao Jiang. That is to say, the Miaojiang people who remain in this village now are all outcasts. You must know that there are not a few Miao Jiang people here, at least there are dozens of people, and a quarter of them are from the Double Heaven Realm, plus their most troublesome Gu poison technique, these people are crazy, I'm afraid no one can withstand it.

Shangguan Yi went back and told Fu Changan about these things, but Fu Changan relaxed and looked light, as if he had the ticket to victory. Shangguan Yi, who was watching, was a little puzzled and asked her why, but she didn't say anything, and asked about the specific purpose of Shangguan Yi's trip. After all, both of them said before that the target was in Cangwu Mountain, but they didn't know the specifics.

Shangguan Yi didn't hide it, and happily told her that he needed the blood of the spirit snake. After Fu Changan heard this, a little strangeness flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask Shangguan Yi much about the reason, just told him that her purpose was Vermilion Bird Fruit.

This made Shangguan Yi breathe a sigh of relief, it would be good if their purposes did not conflict, if there was a conflict, he didn't know what to do, after all, it was one thing to beat Fu Changan or not, and it was another thing to fight or not. Along the way, Fu Changan's help was not of great benefit to him, not to mention that he still owed someone a life-saving grace, even if they didn't care, but he had to remember. But it was a fact that he really needed the Spirit Snake Red Flame Blood.

Now that everyone is happy, they can rest assured that they can join forces to deal with foreign enemies.
