Chapter Eighty-Three: Taihao Qingguang
Following Feng Yan into the altar, Zhang Shiping looked around very casually.
The altar of Taihao is square, with a total of nine layers, each layer is high, and the bottom layer is nine zhang on each side. From a distance, there was nothing, but when I got a little closer, I felt a majestic momentum rushing towards me.
This is the place of sacrifice of the Taihao clan for 300 years, and it is also the core of the Taihao clan. The top floor is a platform of abbots, which has been burned black by the flames.
It is the place where the warriors of the Taihao clan who died in battle are cremated, and it is one of the few customs of the Taihao clan that originated from Middle-earth. In Middle-earth, only the mighty warriors and witches are eligible for cremation, and after death, the souls return to the bosom of the gods.
The Taihao clan believes that every dead warrior will take another form of the guardian clan, and cremation is the way to change.
This is already close to the ancestor worship of the Chinese on the earth, and under Zhang Shiping's spiritual eyes, you can also see vague souls quietly stationed on the altar. The force that sustains their existence is the cyan divinity at the heart of the altar.
Not surprisingly, that cyan divinity came from Taihao's only great witch, Taihao.
If the witch sacrifice is the messenger of the transformation of the divine soul and the communication with the power of the underworld, then the great witch is a demigod standing in the human world, and a transcendent existence with the same level as the mountain lord and other divine beasts.
And the so-called divinity is actually a product of the union of the divine soul with the law, that is, the weakened authority. The body dies and the soul decays, and only the divine, which represents the sublimation of life, is the foundation of immortality.
However, Taihao's accumulation of becoming a great witch is obviously not enough, so he can't live forever in the world, only this group of divinity remains in the world and continues to protect the clansmen.
Bowed half with respect to the divinity in the altar. As a cultivator, I always have respect for such a person who pioneered the first generation.
In fact, if you really judge by strength, Zhang Shiping may not be worse than the master of this group of divinity. There are all kinds of secret methods, and when a thunder comes down, everyone has to retreat.
But in terms of realm, Zhang Shiping is much worse. Unless he cultivates all the Five Emperor Talismans, and finally mixes a hundred gods to achieve the natal true talisman, he can be regarded as equal to these great witches in the realm.
However, Zhang Shiping is just a special doppelganger, and at most he can only condense the Five Emperors Fu moves, and if he wants to take the last step to mix a hundred gods, it is basically useless. Either go through a hundred calamities and use the innate maternal energy in the womb to repair the lack of the soul, or completely become a distraction of Tai and give up Zhang Shiping's independent personality.
Climb the stairs up to the fifth floor. The lower four floors of the altar are made of solid earth, but the upper ones are made of wooden stakes to create narrow spaces.
This is a place to store sacrifices, precious things, and the knotted rope of the Taihao clan's witch sacrifice. Among them, this fifth layer is mainly stored in the divine weapons accumulated over hundreds of years.
The space inside the altar is very narrow, but it does not look dull under the shroud of divinity. Zhang Shiping and Feng Yan are both people with extraordinary strength, their souls have transformed, their bodies are slowly changing towards perfect bodies, and they both have a little night vision.
The space in the fifth layer is neatly divided into nine small grids, and the one in the middle is where the Heavenly Qi Divine Bow is placed.
Because of Taihao's divinity's concealment of spiritual sense, Zhang Shiping could not rely on his keen spiritual sense to detect the extraordinaryness of this divine bow in advance.
However, from Zhang Shiping's eyes, this bow is made of solid and rough work, and some unsmoothed wooden thorns can be seen on it. However, the style is very heavy, much wider than the pictures of bows and arrows that have been seen on earth.
One of the most eye-catching is the scarlet red tendons. Just by looking at it, you know that the owner of this tendon is not a mortal thing.
Feng Yan respectfully took off the bow with both hands, and handed the bow to Zhang Shiping with a solemn face.
"This bow was given by Taihao after he became a great witch and traveled through the wilderness, and met the Suiren clan on the road. At the beginning, Taihao Dawu also used this bow to kill the mountain lord who came to invade the mountain, and established a great reputation in Middle-earth. However, after the fall of Taihao Wu, no one in my Taihao clan can use this bow. I see that Zhang Xiwu is extremely powerful, maybe there will be this bow in your hand to show its power again!"
Speaking about the history of this divine bow, Feng Yan's tone was a little low, and even Zhang Shiping was much more solemn. After receiving the divine bow with both hands, Zhang Shiping suddenly felt that the Taiyi divinity in his body vibrated violently, and suddenly rolled his whole body, bursting with a bright yellow divine light.
And the divine bow in front of him was also buzzing, and a thin halo of red divine light slowly overflowed from the bow body, like the rising sun.
The bright yellow divine light derived from the Taiyi divine nature and the halo red divine light derived from the bow body responded to each other, and after a while, the Taihao divine nature in the altar also began to slowly open like a cloud, enveloping the entire altar.
At this time, the Taihao clansmen, who were still feasting, saw a cyan streamer suddenly roll out of the altar, covering the altar like flowing water.
Most people don't know what's going on, but the peace that comes from their souls keeps them from the slightest disturbance. And the Wu of the Taihao clan lost their voices in unison, watching in amazement as the clouds of blue light flowed.
A witch is a person who can perceive a mysterious existence, although he can't clearly perceive a mysterious existence without sacrificing a witch. But at this time, they clearly saw the familiar figures in those clear lights.
Compared with warriors who are good at fighting, witches generally live longer. Many people quickly recognized the figures in the light one by one.
"Isn't that a rumor of dying in battle? I didn't expect to see him again!"
When a white-haired witch saw his familiar figure, his eyes suddenly became hot, and two lines of tears remained.
"When the warriors die in battle, they will transform into another form in the flames, and continue to protect our Taihao clan. ”
This is something that all the clansmen in the clan know, but no one really sees the existence of another form. If it is an ordinary yin spirit, the transformed spirit of the witch can be seen even if there is no special spell, but under the cover of divinity, even the witch has no way to discover their existence.
In the Taehao clan, this kind of speech used to be more like a lie that everyone wanted to believe. Either way, at least make an impression.
But what they saw today gave them a real glimpse of another form after death, and this situation suddenly made everyone fall into a strange silence.
Qingguang continued to circulate, and one by one figures stood up on the altar, and at this time, even ordinary people could vaguely see the figures. Although there was no way to identify the specific figure, under the explanation of the witch next to him, everyone knelt down religiously.
