Chapter Eighty-Seven: Earth Immortals
"Lord Ancestral God, please come here. ”
Luo Feng bowed slightly, made a "please" gesture, and led Han Li towards the back of the mutilated statue, and the surrounding clansmen saw this, and they all bowed down to make way of a passage.
As soon as the two of them walked out, the other clansmen in the square shouted in unison:
"Congratulations to the Ancestral God!"
The voice was unusually loud and uniform, repeating it several times in a row, until Han Li's figures gradually disappeared into the mountains and forests behind them, and then they stopped.
During the entire process, Han Li didn't look back, and his steps didn't lag in the slightest.
Following a winding path paved with stone slabs in the forest, the two came to a large hall with a simple shape on the top of a hanging mountain.
This hall is not more than ten zhang high, compared with the ordinary palace, it is not very tall, the wall is black, it seems to be built by selecting local materials from the reef of the island, it is covered with mottled traces left by the erosion of the years, and the paint color on the pillars of its doors and windows is still very bright, obviously it will be cleaned and repainted regularly.
The small square in front of the hall and the stone steps under the corridor were all cleaned, and there were hardly even a few fallen leaves.
Han Li glanced up at the top of the temple gate, only to see a black plaque hanging there, with three ancient characters written in gold lacquer, "Ancestral God Pavilion".
Luo Feng walked forward quickly, first bowed respectfully, and then pushed the pavilion door open with a "squeak", turned over, and invited Han Li into the pavilion.
Entering the hall, Han Li was greeted by a black stone statue that was the same height as a real person, and if he looked at his face alone, it was indeed three points similar to himself.
"Since it's just you and me here, I'll just say it. I'm not the ancestral god you call me, and it's just an accident that I'm here today. Han Li retracted his gaze after a little look, turned to look at the elegant man behind him, and said straight to the point.
When Luo Feng heard this, a look of panic suddenly flashed on his face, and he quickly fell to the ground again, and said:
"Lord Ancestral God, if it weren't for your true presence today, our Wumeng Island would not have been able to escape the doom of extermination, and you must not abandon us! Our entire clan has been worshipping for thousands of years, and I hope you will continue to protect us!"
"If it weren't for those people who bumped into me today, I wouldn't have made a move, and you don't have to be grateful for it. As the patriarch, whether I am your ancestral god or not, you know it yourself, don't think that I will come to prevent the calamity in front of you. Han Li said in a cold voice.
Luo Feng's body trembled, first showing a little frightened, and then said with a helpless wry smile:
"Senior, in fact, it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you promise to continue to stay as an ancestral god and help us survive this crisis, we will devote all the strength of our clan to all the cultivation resources you need. ”
"Tell me first, who is that ancestral god in your mouth?" Han Li's expression changed slightly, and instead of immediately speaking, he suddenly asked about the ancestral god.
"The ancestral god we worship is actually an old ancestor of our clan who cultivated into an immortal hundreds of thousands of years ago, and has been protecting my clan for generations, and it is the foundation of my clan's foothold in this place. Luo Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he still explained carefully.
"In other words, those alien races that invaded you today also have their ancestral gods, and the layer of white light that shrouded their bodies could it be related to the protection provided by their ancestral gods?" Han Li listened to the other party's words, and after thinking for a moment, he asked again.
"That's right, but the Hanqiu Ancestor of their Hanjing Clan is just an Earth Immortal who just cultivated the Great Dao more than 100,000 years ago, and his strength is only at the bottom of the many ancestral gods I know, and he was even defeated by our Wumeng Island Ancestral God at the beginning. Luo Feng said hatefully.
"What is an Earth Immortal?" Han Li raised his eyebrows.
"You don't know the Earth Immortals...... Could it be that you just flew up from the Nether?" This time, it was Luo Feng's turn to be a little surprised.
Han Li didn't answer, just looked directly at the other party with a calm expression.
Luo Feng didn't say anything more, and instead explained: "The so-called earth immortals are immortals who cultivate by sheltering an area and absorbing the power of the faith of the sheltered believers. ”
"Tell me about the situation of the Cold Crystal Clan. Han Li nodded thoughtfully, and asked in a momentary tone.
Although he had a lot of interest in the matter of the ancestral gods and immortals in his heart, he didn't plan to get to the bottom of it at this moment.
"Qi Qi senior, the Hanjing clan, like this clan, is a small group on the edge of this Black Wind Sea, and the island where it is located is relatively close to our Wumeng Island, and there have always been many conflicts with our clan for resources and many other issues. In the heyday of the clan, he naturally did not dare to make a mistake, but now he saw that the ancestral god of the clan could not wake up, but he coveted it. Luo Feng replied respectfully.
After hearing this, Han Li did not rush to speak again this time, but fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Luo Feng naturally didn't dare to say anything, just stood aside with his head down
"What is the distance between the Black Wind Sea in your mouth and the Northern Cold Immortal Domain?" Han Li asked again after a long time.
"This ...... As far as the younger generations know, the Black Wind Sea belongs to the jurisdiction of the Northern Han Immortal Domain, but it is only a projectile in a remote area. By the way, this is a part of the map of the Black Wind Sea for the reference of the predecessors. After hesitating slightly, Luo Feng took out a white bead the size of a walnut and handed it to Han Li.
Han Li stretched out his hand to take the orb, his eyes closed slightly, and as soon as his divine sense moved, he threw himself into the orb.
After a while, his eyes slowly opened, and a little complicated color flashed in his eyes, and after a long silence, he spoke:
"It's all right if I want to protect you on Umeng Island, but there is something to say ahead. ”
"Seniors, but it doesn't hurt to say. Luo Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said hurriedly.
"What you said before is right, I did just arrived in the Immortal Realm today, and I didn't go through the Flying Immortal Terrace. If you have any scruples about this, I will not care about it, and I should just ignore it. Han Li said frankly without concealment.
"How dare you! The seniors can tell the truth, and they are already very grateful. Luo Feng waved his hand again and again and said.
"In this case, in order to stabilize the hearts of the clan, in the future, you will call me the ancestral god in front of people. But privately, you can just call me Senior Liu. If the Hanjing Clan dares to attack again, I will also take action, and don't forget the offerings you promised. Hearing this, Han Li said indifferently.
Luo Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said again and again: "That's nature, that's nature......"
"Alright, arrange me a secluded place to live, I need to recuperate. Han Li nodded and said.
"Senior Liu, please come with me. ”
Luo Feng said that, and immediately led Han Li through the inner hall of the Ancestral God Pavilion and walked towards the backyard.
Out of the backyard, after the two walked through a bamboo forest filled with purple mist, they came to a small courtyard with white walls and black tiles.
"This courtyard was the place where I went on retreat during the bottleneck period of my cultivation before. No one else will come to disturb you, so you can live here with peace of mind. Luo Feng said.
Han Li looked at the courtyard in front of him, nodded, and walked towards the courtyard first.
......
About half a day later.
Tens of thousands of miles away from Umeng Island, in a deep blue sea, on a white island hundreds of feet high.
It is about the size of Umeng Island, but it is very narrow and looks like a slender willow leaf, and the vegetation on the island is sparse, and the surface is full of exposed gray and white rocks, reflecting the sun's rays.
On the island, the white domed buildings are densely distributed according to the island's mountain, and the further you go to the top of the mountain, the fewer the number of buildings and the more sparse the distribution becomes.
By the time we reached the highest point on the island, there were almost no buildings left, only a fusiform square hundreds of feet long built along the ridge.
On the ground of the square, there are arcs or rings engraved everywhere, which are connected to each other to form a very exquisite and dense pattern array.
In the center of the circle, there is a gray-white statue about ten zhang high, burly, wearing a piece of armor carved with exquisite patterns, and the face is also covered with a layer of hollow visor, two curved fangs extend from both sides of the visor, and a slightly curly long hair is draped behind him, looking unusually handsome.
At this moment, around the statue, there was a circle of Azurite people kneeling on the ground, all with their heads bowed, their hands crossed over their shoulders, and their mouths silently chanting, performing some kind of ritual.
A moment later, under the visor of the gray statue, two clouds of blue light suddenly lit up, and immediately after, there was a "buzzing" voice from it:
"How's it going...... Hey, why don't you see Tuha?"
An elder of the Blue Crystal Clan, who was a little bloated, stepped forward with a look of grief on his face, and arched his hand and said, "Lord Qi Ancestral God, I ...... before."
After a while, he raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "This is roughly how things happened, the Tuha patriarch and several elders have been killed in battle. Lord Ancestral God, you have to be the master for us. ”
After a moment of silence, there was a "buzzing" sound again in the gray statue:
"You said that Lomont's true body has come...... If he had recovered from his serious injuries 10,000 years ago, with his temperament, he would never have let you escape. Moreover, according to your description, the man did not even release the power of protection. ”
"Lord Ancestral God, in that case, do we need to reorganize our forces and attack Umon Island again?" the Blue Crystal Clan elder asked cautiously.
"No need, although that person is not Lomon, but he can easily kill a few Tuha people, naturally he is not an idle person, if you attack again, will you not kill yourself. Let's step back first, I have my own arrangements for the rest of the matter. The blue light flickered above the statue, and the sound of "buzzing" speech was heard again.
"Yes. The bloated Blue Crystal Clan Elder immediately bowed respectfully and retreated with a group of clansmen.
After he walked away, another voice suddenly sounded above the statue, as if whispering to himself:
"Hey...... Hu Bone, Hu Tu, Lu Kun, since you are also eyeing the fat of Wumeng Island, and you want to get a piece of the pie, then you naturally have to make a difference. However, that thing can only be owned by me, after all, whether or not my next advancement can be successful depends on this thing......"
As the sound faded in the air, the two blue clusters of light on the statue gradually disappeared.
