Chapter 4: Sacrifice
Xiong Lin couldn't help but look down at the golden glowing bell-shaped imprint at the mouth of his heart, remembering the abnormal feeling when he faced the flying sword just now, and the fleeting golden bell shadow.
"If there really is a magic weapon, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for my natal magic weapon!" Xiong Lin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and sensed the situation in his body with his heart, especially the bell-shaped birthmark on his heart.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, about half an hour later, Xiong Lin's body suddenly flashed again. This time, it was obviously much clearer than just now, it was a golden sè clock, buckled from the top of Xiong Lin's head, covering his body, and the golden light shimmered, and there was no mark or picture on it.
"Tom......" The sound of a bell rang, and the golden bell turned into a flash of golden light, and suddenly turned into a foot in size, hanging in front of Xiong Lin.
Xiong Lin opened his eyes and looked at the golden bell suspended in front of him, and couldn't help but smile and stretched out his hand to support the golden bell. Then his heart moved, and Jin Zhong turned into a golden light shè into Xiong Lin's body, and then turned into a golden light shè from his body shè and came to Xiong Lin's hand.
"Whew...... I can't imagine that the golden bell jar that took a lot of money to cultivate in my previous life actually came to this life with me in such an unbelievable form, and became a magic weapon!" Xiong Lin's heart moved, and the golden bell turned into golden light and disappeared in his body again, and the more he got up, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help but feel that the world was wonderful, "This golden bell is undoubtedly the most suitable natal magic weapon for me, in this life, the path of the immortal path is displayed in front of me, and there is no end in sight, but there is no need to worry about moving forward!"
Looking around at the several corpses on the ground, as well as the skeleton sitting cross-legged, Xiong Lin couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable in his heart. These people can be said to be the bones laid out in the path of cultivating immortals, and I am afraid that the path of cultivating immortals is also a road of thorns.
"In the previous life, I sought the way forward but could not get it, since I saw the immortal path in this life, no matter how full of thorns, I will eventually go down step by step!" Xiong Lin's eyes quickly became firm, and he stepped forward and bowed to the corpse of the old Taoist priest and the skeleton sitting cross-legged, and said: "You are all the predecessors of the immortal road, and the younger generations will definitely do their best to go further on the road of cultivating immortals this time, take a look at the scenery of this immortal road, and see if there are really immortals in this world!"
Afterwards, Xiong Lin picked up the black flag that fell to the ground and looked at it repeatedly, but unfortunately there was no gain. I went to look at the dilapidated hut again, but I didn't get anything. On the contrary, I accidentally found that the fog in the maze forest had become weaker. When I first came in, it was difficult to see two meters away, but now I can see three meters away. These may all be related to the black flag that was pulled out. However, it may be more convenient for him to wait until the fog in the forest has cleared before leaving.
When the fog cleared and there was still some time, Xiong Lin thought about it, stepped forward to tear down the dilapidated cabin, picked up some dead branches and leaves and piled them together, prepared to make a fire, and cremated three corpses and one skeleton.
"Disturb the seniors to rest in peace. Xiong Lin first bowed in front of the skeleton, bent down to pick up the skeleton, but did not want to move the skeleton, but a brown pouch fell from the skeleton.
"Huh?" Xiong Lin picked up the brown sè pouch, it felt as bright as silk, and in a hundred years, people had turned into skeletons, and the clothes on his body had also turned to ashes, except for the small black flag, the brown sè cloth bag was also undamaged.
"Could it be that this is also a magic weapon?" Xiong Lin thought for a moment, took the cloth bag into his arms, and continued to pick up the skeleton and put it on the pyre.
Subsequently, he went to pick up the bodies of the other three people, but they all searched the bodies of the three first, which was a small gain. Not to mention the old dust, sharp swords, bloody knives, and scholars' paper fans; just the silver tickets, Xiong Lin searched out fifteen from the three of them, especially the ten in the arms of the blood knife, all of them were one hundred taels and one tael, not counting the other scattered silver taels, which was 1,500 taels. It's enough for an average family of five, and it's been used for ten years. In Xiong Lin's life, his parents are still alive, he has a brother and a sister, since he plans to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, these silver tickets can be temporarily settled.
"Coax ......" a fire ignited the wooden pile, Xiong Lin watched the three corpses and a skeleton gradually burn in the flames, and sighed a little in his heart.
Dust to dust, dust to earth, the cycle of life and death is nothing more than this, I hope they all have a happy afterlife!
Looking into the forest, it was still some time before the fog cleared. At this time, it was already night, Xiong Lin sat cross-legged in front of the fire, lit the fire, and began to continue browsing the 'Songfeng Travels'.
Although the Songfeng travelogue is thick, most of them are the scenery and people of various places recorded by the Songfeng Dao people, and there are not many really useful ones. Xiong Lin flipped from beginning to end, and there was nothing else to gain, so he turned to the middle again and began to slowly figure out the method of 'Nine Seals of the Sacrificial Vessel'. Unconsciously, the fire burned all night, and Xiong Lin was also addicted to the 'Nine Seals of the Sacrificial Vessel' all night.
"Chirping ......" until the beginning of the morning, the forest remembered the sound of many birdsong, the bear forest gradually woke up, looked around, the fog in the forest was already very thin, as if it was just the morning mountain forest water vapor, the fire in front of it has gradually extinguished, only a pile of ashes remained.
Xiong Lin got up and moved, dug a big pit next to the ashes with a big knife, swept all the ashes into the pit and buried them. Then he packed up and walked out of the dense forest in the morning light.
On the way, he hunted a wild boar and hid his sword, and Xiong Lin carried the wild boar home.
After returning home, he naturally said that he rested in the mountains for one night, and Xiong Lin occasionally rested in the mountains before, and his family knew his ability, so there was nothing to worry about.
In the next few days, Xiong Lin did not enter the mountain again, but repeatedly figured out the method of 'Nine Seals of the Sacrificial Vessel' at home, and kept drawing the first seal of the blood sacrifice on the ground, but there was nothing wrong. The disappearance of the fog of the ghost forest has been discovered by the people in the nearby mountain villages, and some bold hunters have entered the ghost forest and seen a large burned clearing in the forest. Some of the mountain people remembered that a few days ago at night, they vaguely saw the fire rushing to the sky on this side of the ghost forest. The mountain people are superstitious, and gradually it is said that there are demons and monsters in the ghost forest, and the heavens will send fire to destroy demons. Xiong Lin occasionally heard that he only smiled slightly.
Half a month later, Xiong Lin entered the mountain again with a black flag. This time, he was preparing to draw the first blood sacrifice seal on the golden bell. So do some preparation.
After hunting a spotted tiger, Xiong Lin came to a secret place he had found before, which was a cave behind a waterfall. According to the law of the 'Nine Seals of the Sacrificial Vessel', the three seals of the blood sacrifice are very blood-consuming. Moreover, the magic weapon needs to absorb jing blood and blood refining many times, and often the first seal of the blood sacrifice needs to be successful many times, which consumes jing blood even more. Therefore, if you want to succeed in cultivation, you need to replenish a lot of Jing blood.
Xiong Lin first put all the blood of the tiger into several stone bowls, and then made a fire to roast the tiger, and put it aside for emergencies.
Then, Xiong Lin sat down cross-legged, and the golden light flashed on his left hand, and the golden bell appeared in his hand again. Xiong Lin bit the index finger of his right hand, forced out Jing blood, and began to draw the first blood sacrifice seal on Jinzhong Mountain!
The seal of the blood sacrifice is quite complicated, Xiong Lin has become familiar with it after half a month of practice, and constantly forced Jing blood to his index finger, drawing blood stains on Jinzhong Mountain. Xiong Lin's face also began to gradually turn pale, which was a sign of excessive blood loss.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xiong Lin made the last stroke, and his face was already pale like a dying man. The golden light flashed in his hand, and the golden bell disappeared into his body, Xiong Lin only felt a headache, and his body was weak as if he were dying.
tremblingly, he picked up the stone bowl on the side, swallowed all the tiger blood in the bowl, picked up another bowl, and drank three bowls of tiger blood in a row, before he gasped weakly.
"Hoo ......"
"This blood sacrifice seal, if the body is a little weak, it must not lose blood and die!" After drinking three bowls of tiger blood, Xiong Lin lay on the ground and rested for half an hour before he felt a little strength in his body. Got up and picked up the roasted tiger meat on the side and gnawed it, Xiong Lin was glad that he had roasted the tiger meat for the sake of caution before, although it was cold now, it was better than eating raw meat.
After gnawing on a tiger's leg, Xiong Lin felt a wave of tiredness come over him, and he fell asleep without paying attention to the others.
When he woke up again, Xiong Lin didn't know how long he had been sleeping, and he saw that it was the time when the sun was shining outside the waterfall. However, the remaining tiger meat on the side was already a little rotten at this time. I'm afraid I slept more than a day.
Xiong Lin took all the rotten tiger meat out of the hole, threw it away, and then stripped naked and washed it under the waterfall to re-enter the hole. Sitting cross-legged, the golden light flashed in his hand, and the golden bell appeared in his hand again.
At this time, the golden bell is a little different from the beginning, it is no longer a piece of golden light, and there is no other trace. In the place where the Admiralty is close to the top of the bell, a blood pattern surrounds the body of the Admiralty, which looks extremely charming.
"Is this the first seal of the Blood Sacrifice?" Xiong Lin was stunned for a moment, observed it carefully, and confirmed after a while that this was the first seal of the Blood Sacrifice.
"How did you succeed the first time?" Xiong Lin was a little puzzled, "Didn't you say that you have to draw a few more times, let the magic weapon absorb more Jing blood first, and after a little blood refining, you can only succeed in the blood sacrifice?"
"The record on the method of the Nine Seals of the Sacrificial Vessel should have been verified for many years, and there will be no mistake!" Xiong Lin held the golden bell and observed it repeatedly, "Could it be that there is something special about me, or is there something special about this golden bell?"
"Hmm, something special!" Xiong Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he thought of a possibility.
This golden bell is said to be a magic weapon, but it was cultivated by him in his previous life, and I don't know why he was reincarnated in this life with him. turned into a birthmark and has been hidden in his heart.
Not to mention that this golden bell must have some wonderful connection with him, that is, this life has been hidden in his heart for more than ten years, and I am afraid that he has already been refined by Xiong Linjing's blood for more than ten years. In this way, the first seal of the blood sacrifice was successful for the first time, and it is said that it is in the past. And because of his wonderful connection with this golden bell, the seal of the eight sacrifices behind it will be much easier, at least the second seal of the blood sacrifice and the third seal of the soul sacrifice in the back will probably be much easier.
"Whew...... In any case, if the first seal of the blood sacrifice is successful, then I can use this as an opportunity to use the magic weapon to induce qi into the body, break through the first layer of qi training, and truly step into the path of cultivating immortals!"
