Chapter 182: Sacrifice to the Heavens

"I see. This can also explain why with your cultivation, you can even join the Impermanence Alliance. By the way, you said that this mask and token were handed down from the ancestors?" Han Li heard what Bai Suyuan said, nodded slowly, and asked again.

"The original owner of this mask was an ancestor of our Bai family, the immortal who had served as an elder of the inner gate in the Candle Dragon Dao. Our Bai family's place was able to become a family of immortal cultivators who secretly managed the Baiyou Country, in fact, because of this ancestor back then. As for the token, it is naturally his. Bai Suyuan explained.

"In that case, why don't you go directly to the Candle Dragon Dao to find this Immortal Ancestor and ask him to come and kill this Heavenly Demon?" Han Li asked with a slight frown.

"According to my grandfather, this ancestor suddenly disappeared thousands of years ago, and there has been no news of him, and several elders of the clan went out to look for him, but he also disappeared together...... Since then, the power of my Bai family has gradually disappeared...... It is precisely because of this that the great ancestor was in a hurry to cross the tribulation and become a true immortal, so that he was finally taken advantage of by the heavenly demons. Bai Suyuan sighed heavily and said.

"What you said, I can't verify it for the time being, wait until I have seen Bai Turquoise with my own eyes and confirmed that he was taken away by the Heavenly Demons, and then I will decide whether to do it or not. Han Li said after thinking about it.

He didn't actually believe everything about what the girl in front of him said.

In Han Li's opinion, it was already not easy for her to be able to hide under the eyes of a true immortal for so many years as a late-stage cultivator, so she naturally had a little more guard in her heart.

"This ...... All right. At the beginning of next month, it is the ten-year sacrifice and blessing ceremony of Baiyou country, when the emperor will take the civil and military officials to the Tai'e Mountain in the territory to seal the Zen sacrifice to the sky, and the white turquoise stone will naturally accompany the head of the hundred officials. When the time comes, stay away from the mundane city, and the impact can be minimized. Bai Suyuan hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"It's fine. Hearing this, Han Li nodded, and the matter was settled.

"By the way, I don't know what to call you?" Bai Suyuan's eyes lit up and she asked.

"Flying rain. ”

......

Located in the eastern part of Baiyou country, the Tai'e Mountains have always been known for their majestic mountain momentum and beautiful scenery, among which the Tai'e Peak is the highest mountain in the whole country, and has always been respected as the "Dongyue Sacred Mountain", the status in the minds of the people of Baiyou Country is extremely high, according to legend, there is a true immortal who has attained the Tao and has risen in this daytime.

The literati of Baiyou country have always been able to climb the Tai'e Peak, and they are proud of their poems, and there are still some poems left by everyone on the mountain every year, and they will attract many people to come here every year to see the true face.

However, just a month ago, the entire Tai'e Peak was surrounded by a large number of soldiers in armor, and it was completely banned, and no matter the princes and nobles or the common people in the market, they were not allowed to climb the mountain.

In this regard, the whole Baiyou Kingdom did not have any objections, because they all knew that the emperor was coming to worship the heavens and pray for blessings.

Although Tai'e Peak was banned, a few days before the festival was held, Dongtai County under the mountain was already crowded with people from nearby counties.

On the day of the official festival, before dawn, both sides of the official road leading to Tai'e Peak in the county town were crowded by the people who came to pay homage to the emperor's holy face.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the emperor and the civil and military officials drove straight out of the palace in the county town, and went straight to Tai'e Peak without stopping under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army.

On the top of Tai'e Peak, on an open circular altar, a few incense burners have already been placed, a brocade red carpet has been laid on the ground, and there are many officials dressed in official uniforms of the Ministry of Rites around, all with pious faces, waiting with their hands tied.

Among these people, there was a middle-aged official with an ordinary face, his hands hanging in front of him, his eyes constantly turning, and he looked around him.

This person was none other than Han Li, who had changed his appearance and had lurked in, while Bai Suyuan had used another method of concealment to hide outside the altar.

After observing for a while, Han Li discovered that in addition to the dozen or so Yuan Ying and Foundation Building Stage monks hidden among the soldiers patrolling the periphery, the Rite Department Shangshu beside him was actually a Transformation Stage monk.

Han Li knew in his heart that most of these people were secretly arranged by the Bai family.

After waiting for about an hour or two, the emperor's chariot finally took the lead and came to the top of Mount Tai'e.

I saw that the emperor, who looked no more than the age of the weak crown, stepped out of the carriage with the support of the eunuchs, but did not rush to the altar, but stopped next to the car, as if waiting for something.

After a while, the cars behind followed one after another.

After the carriage immediately behind the emperor's carriage stopped, as soon as the carriage door opened, an old man in a purple robe with a white beard stretched out a palm, and with the support of two attendants, he stepped out of the carriage tremblingly.

His face looked very old, his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were cloudy, and there were a few scattered silver hairs floating on his forehead, and his body was rickety, and he looked like he was about to die.

Seeing him slowly walking to his side, the emperor showed a smile on his face, and accompanied by him, he slowly walked towards the altar, and the rest of the civil and military officials followed quickly.

Han Li mingled in the crowd, the imperceptible blue light in the depths of his eyes flashed, his gaze swept over the old man, and his heart was basically determined, this person must be the old lady Bai Songshi.

Although this person now behaves like an elderly man with limited mobility and hides his aura very well, he naturally can't hide his divine sense, and on the surface, this person is indeed a Mahayana monk.

Except for deliberately suppressing his cultivation and covering up his aura, he didn't find anything else wrong.

I saw the emperor and Bai Turquoise slowly stepping on the steps, and walked up to the altar one by one, while the rest of the civil and military officials stopped when they walked to the bottom of the altar.

The old man who looked old and decrepit seemed to be a flash of light in his cloudy eyes, but it was only fleeting, and then he immediately returned to normal and walked to the center of the altar.

Under the auspices of a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Rites, the ceremony continued as usual, and Han Li was silent, weighing it in his heart.

"Li Daoyou, I'm afraid that the devil has already discovered me, why don't you make a move, are you really confused by this devil's tricks?" At this time, Bai Suyuan's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and he looked a little anxious.

"Fellow Demon Light Daoist, can you help me take a look......" Hearing this, Han Li looked down at his shadow and asked with a mental connection.

After a period of silence, there was no change in his shadow, but the voice of the magic light sounded in his heart: "Han Daoyou, this person's ability to hide his qi is not weak, but according to my observation, it is indeed the genus of our Outer Heaven Demon Clan." ”

Hearing this, Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

At this time, the emperor had already been arranged by the ceremonial officials and high-ranking officials, presented three animals, saluted the three pillars of high incense, and then retreated to the side of the chariot.

“...... Our emperor worships virtue, admires the Holy Spirit, and follows the heavens...... Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, and open peace for all generations...... The dragon of merit is eternal and immortal...... To inherit the order of heaven, I would like to use the sacrificial ......"

Bai Turstone, as the head of the hundred officials, began to face the ministers, instead of the emperor to recite the heavenly sacrifice, his voice was hoarse, but a little exhausted, hoarse.

Seeing this, Han Li suddenly took a step forward and stepped out of the crowd.

The official of the Ministry of Rites beside him was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly wanted to stop him, but he only saw a figure in front of him, and he was already gone.

In the next moment, he was already in the center of the altar.

I saw that with a wave of his sleeve robe, a cyan whirlwind immediately swung out of it, swept over like a green dragon, rolled up everyone, including the emperor, and led it straight down the mountain.

Those monks who were hidden in the mortals, their bodies lit up, and they wanted to get out of it, but they couldn't do anything at all, so they could only float up with everyone and fly to the foot of Tai'e Mountain.

"Are you the reinforcements that the girl invited?" Bai Songshi stopped chanting the sacrificial text and turned to look at Han Li.

His originally cloudy eyes suddenly became extremely clear, and his rickety figure immediately became erect, and his hands pressed the messy hair in front of his forehead, and the decay of the whole person was swept away, replaced by the aura of a rather powerful person in power.

Han Li sneered, but without answering, his figure flashed, and suddenly, a punch came straight out, smashing it down on his head.

When the old man saw his sudden burst of momentum, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, his figure flashed, and he retreated dozens of feet.

Han Li's punch missed, smashing into the altar floor.

I heard a loud "boom", and the entire altar shattered and turned into a piece of powder.

More than a dozen streams of light flashed around him and landed around Han Li, looking at Han Li angrily one by one.

"Where did the bold fanatics come from, they dared to attack my ancestor!" an old man in a green robe pointed at Han Li and scolded loudly.

As soon as Han Li punched out, he didn't make any more trouble, he just stared at the white turquoise stone on the opposite side without blinking, and he didn't look at the people around him.

These people are all Bai family monks, and the strongest cultivator is only in the late stage of transforming into a god, so he naturally won't bother with them.

And at this moment, another slender figure shot from a distance and landed on the altar that had been shattered, its face was delicate and pretty, wearing a pink lotus short skirt, but it was Bai Suyuan.

"Second uncle, uncle...... Stop. This powerful senior is I invited back to kill the Heavenly Demon, you don't want to be bewitched by that demon and lose your life in vain. Bai Suyuan exclaimed.

"Shut up, you evil obstacle, not only killed your own grandfather, but also dared to slander the patriarch nonsense, I really don't know whether to live or die, today I have to clean up the portal for my eldest brother. The old man in the green robe, who was called the second uncle by Bai Suyuan, was furious, and as soon as the light on his body lit up, he killed Bai Suyuan.

Han Li caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't pay attention to it, but walked towards the "White Turquoise" step by step.
