At this moment, the thunderclouds in the sky moved again, and immediately converged into thousands of thunderbolts.

Seeing this, the five knew that it was time for the next hour of thunder punishment, so they found a safer place to stand.

Soon, with the thunder and lightning struck, everyone was already surprised. However, when the thunder and lightning struck the lake, something strange happened.

The original hundreds of thunderbolts split into the lake, just like Ma Fangyu jumped into the lake, without setting off any waves, and were directly swallowed by the lake.

When everyone thought that the lake would be quiet like this, a bright light appeared in the next second.

The bright light was like a huge pillar of light, shooting directly from the center of the lake, approaching the thunderclouds in the sky, and finally drowning in the thunderclouds.

The pillar of light brightened the space around it, and there was a faint surge of violent energy around it.

Everyone watched this scene in amazement, this pillar of light was shocking enough, and they were afraid that they would not turn a blind eye to any place in the Death Swamp.

Sure enough, just a moment later, Mo Sanxiao and Long Chi came here almost at the same time, they both came from the low altitude against the wind, and they didn't stop until they were in front of this pillar of light.

Why had they never seen this pillar of light before? Why did this pillar of light appear at this time?

The pillar of light lasted for a long time, causing everyone present to stand still, staring at each other without saying a word.

In this way, more and more teams were drawn in, and everyone who came here was shocked by the scene in front of them.

Until the pillar of light faded and the lake returned to calm, almost everyone who had come to the Death Swamp had gathered.

They looked at each other, puzzled by the appearance of the pillar of light. Ma Fangyu didn't know why, and guessed in his heart that it should be related to the Wheel of Time and Space.

Next, the scene on the surface of the lake stunned everyone present.

I saw that the surface of the lake was as calm as a mirror, and a vivid scene began to emerge on the surface of the lake, like a movie, bringing everyone's thoughts into it.

But I saw an old man in a purple robe, with gray hair, deep-set eyes, and wrinkles on his face clearly visible.

He was holding a staff with a skull above it, and two dark green gems in his eye sockets glowing with strange light.

In front of the old man stood thousands of people, both young and old, but the oldest was no more than thirty years old, and he looked like he was fifty or sixty years old. They were all dressed in uniform costumes, which were unique compared to the traditional costumes of the Longqing Empire.

The place where they are is an endless grassland, and the green grass grows vigorously and vigorously under their feet.

There are some scattered houses and buildings on the grassland, which look like ordinary tents, and look simple.

It can be seen that they all belong to the same family, that is, the mysterious Bu clan.

The old man was obviously the leader of the Bu clan, that is, the head of the clan. His dry eyes glanced at everyone, and everyone's expressions were gloomy, as if they were going through a catastrophe.

After a moment of silence, the patriarch began to say slowly, "I think that my Bu clan has been inherited for hundreds of generations, the population is gradually withering, and it is difficult for the people in the clan to live past thirty. ”

Speaking of this, everyone lowered their heads, as the patriarch said, the population of their Bu tribe is gradually withering, among the clan

The life span that people can live is getting shorter and shorter, and if effective measures are not taken, I am afraid that sooner or later they will be wiped out.

"Because our Bu clan has the power of time and space, and while divining fortunes for the people of the world, they are constantly leaking the secrets of heaven, and they will eventually be retribution on ourselves. For the sake of today's plan, only if we don't leak the heavenly secrets again, we should be able to avoid the disaster of extermination. The patriarch continued.

At this time, an opposing voice sounded in the crowd, "Patriarch, if we stop divination and fortune-telling and give up the power of time and space, will the Bu clan still be the Bu clan?"

As soon as this remark came out, many people began to echo it. It is true that what they rely on for survival is to divinate and tell fortunes for people, if they give up this ability, they are afraid that the Bu clan will not be far from extinction.

The patriarch looked embarrassed, he didn't think about it, but for the sake of the family's continuation, they had to take the risk of doing so.

"We give up the power of time and space, we can choose to live like ordinary people, men farming and women weaving, sheep and horses, and we can still live well. ”

I heard that there were those in the crowd who were for and against, and everyone was arguing, and they didn't know how to make a decision for a while.

The patriarch continued: "Now that it is a critical period for my clan, I am bold enough to do this, although it is against the ancestral system, but it is also a helpless move, we can't wait for the heavenly punishment to fall, and our clan will not turn over." ”

As he said this, the opposition gradually subsided, and someone in the crowd began to shout: "Support the patriarch, make a change!"

"Support the patriarch, make a change!" spread like a slogan, and everyone shouted as they raised their fists to build momentum.

In this way, the voice of opposition has been completely drowned, and even if there are still people who are unwilling, they can only bury themselves in the bottom of their hearts and stop talking.

The patriarch stretched out his withered right hand and silenced the voices of the crowd, then turned and looked at the altar in front of him, his eyes full of reverence.

On the altar was an artifact in the shape of a sphere, which was constantly rotating. On the periphery of the sphere, there are two layers of circular rollers inside and outside, which exactly circle around the sphere. The two layers of rollers are perpendicular to each other and stand still.

The entire artifact can faintly see the light lingering, mysterious and abnormal, obviously the treasure of the Bu clan, the wheel of time and space.

The patriarch took the lead, followed by the others, and everyone fell to their knees and prostrate on the ground, their hands folded above their heads, which was considered extremely religious.

"The Wheel of Time and Space is a sacred object that gives us the power of time and space, and now in order to cut off the power of time and space of our clan, the only way to sink the wheel of time and space to the bottom of the lake forever is to make it impossible for my descendants in future generations to make it again. The patriarch was still prostrate on the ground and said solemnly.

"No!" the others shouted in unison.

Soon after the worship, everyone stood up, and the patriarch ordered a hundred sturdy men to put a thick rope made of linen around the wheel of time and space, and only then did they reluctantly drag it.

The crowd dragged the Wheel of Time to a lake, and then worshiped again, and then prepared to sink the Wheel of Time to the bottom of the lake.

At this time, above the lake, a burly figure slowly appeared.

The crowd couldn't see how he appeared, only that he seemed to have come out of the air.

The person who came was obviously a man, dressed in an imperial robe, which was even more dazzling than the dragon robe of the human race. At the same time, it has a momentum that looks at the world, which makes everyone present have the urge to crawl on the ground.

It's just that the man wears a mask that hides his face, but it can't hide his emanation

out of majesty.

When the patriarch saw the masked man who appeared out of thin air, his expression changed significantly, both surprised and in awe.

"The Bu clan started from one person, and once became a prosperous clan, relying on nothing more than this wheel of time and space, I didn't expect it to come to you, and you actually wanted to abandon him. The masked man looked at the patriarch, and a strong voice sounded, both as if it were coming from his mouth and as if it were coming from all directions.

When the Bu people heard this, they began to discuss, who was this masked man who suddenly appeared? What did the Bu tribe have to do with him? Why did he say such a thing?

So, everyone began to point fingers at the masked man, but the patriarch had a solemn face, and kept thinking about it in his mind, until he remembered the words passed down from generation to generation of patriarchs, and he finally understood.

At this time, the masked man was very tired of everyone's pointing at him, like a fly, his sleeve robe moved slightly, and most of the people of the Bu clan fell. There was still some disdain in his mouth and said: "Noise!"

At this time, the patriarch knelt directly on the ground and said with a frightened face: "Please show mercy to your seniors!"

Everyone saw the masked man's methods, and saw what the patriarch did, so they naturally understood the extraordinary masked man, and they were all silent and didn't dare to speak again.

The masked man didn't bother to meet them in general, he slowly stretched out his right hand, and with a slight grab, the original wheel of time and space quickly shrunk, and soon became the size of a palm, and flew into the masked man's hand as if he had legs.

Everyone watched this scene in amazement, and they all learned that the patriarch fell to his knees.

The masked man looked at the Wheel of Time and Space in his hand and said slowly, "You have forgotten the agreement I made with your ancestors, and now I can remind you. I pass on the wheel of time and space to you, and you count a hexagram for me, and now is the time to fulfill the agreement. ”

As the masked man said this, almost everyone except the patriarch was surprised. I didn't expect that the treasure of the town clan in his clan was actually passed by him, if this was the case, then wouldn't he have lived for tens of thousands of years?

The patriarch can naturally understand the surprise of the clansmen, because this matter can only be known by the patriarchs of each generation. He listened to the masked man's words, his face was embarrassed, and he said in a hurry: "But we have decided not to tell fortunes for people anymore, and we want to sink the wheel of time and space to the bottom of the lake. ”

As soon as the patriarch's words fell, the air around him became a little colder, and everyone looked at the man with the mask, although they couldn't see his expression, but they could also feel his coldness.

"Hahaha, you haven't fulfilled your agreement, what qualifications do you have to dispose of the Wheel of Time and Space, let alone refuse fortune-telling!" The masked man's voice sounded, making people's hearts tremble.

At this point, a bold man in the clan said, "That's right, you can take the Wheel of Time and Space now, we don't want it." ”

When the patriarch heard this, his face was shocked, and he quickly looked at the man, and almost at the same time saw that he was quickly frozen into an ice sculpture, and then turned into ice cubes, scattered everywhere.

At the speed of his death, I'm afraid there is not even a trace of pain. Everyone believed that it must have been the masked man's doing. For this reason, they no longer dare to make a mistake.

The patriarch had no choice but to relent, and replied: "Everything is according to what the predecessors said, and we will divinate this last hexagram for you." ”

The masked man nodded and said coldly: "You should have done this a long time ago, and I will follow the agreement afterwards, and this wheel of time and space will be determined by you." ”

After that, everyone did not dare to object, and obeyed orders.
