Chapter 4: Sorrow

Unlike the undercurrents of the gates of Middle-earth, thousands of miles away in southern Xinjiang, after the beast and demon catastrophe, the people of all ethnic groups rebuilt their homes wordlessly. Although this is the place that has suffered the most, but the world is so big, no one seems to remember this place, anyway, the wasteland of southern Xinjiang is not in the eyes of the rich people of Middle-earth.

In Qilitong, where the Jin clan lived, the scars brought by the beast demons were still visible everywhere, but on top of the ruins, many brand new houses had been built. At the mountainside of the back mountain of Qilitong, at the entrance of the mysterious altar, there are still many sacrifices in and out, and at this moment of ruin, the protection of the ancestors is particularly important to the Jin people.

The gold people said that they came out and worked, and they said that they would rest, and they said that they passed like this. Seeing that the day was going down and night fell, many gold people returned to their homes, relaxed their tired bodies, and after dinner, they gradually fell asleep in the starlight sprinkled by the stars.

In the dead of night, a white figure appeared in the seven miles, like a faint light in the darkness, a few ups and downs in the quiet valley, and it had quietly approached the foot of the altar in the back mountain.

At the entrance to the mountain, there are still two golden soldiers guarding, the night wind suddenly blows over, they only feel that suddenly a white light as fast as lightning swept in front of them, and the faint fragrance is like a night flower lightly, and they can't help but be in a trance.

After a few moments, they regained their senses, and the loss of consciousness was so brief that they both thought it was just an occasional drowsiness after being tired, and after cursing themselves a few words in their hearts, the two golden people cheered up and carefully watched over their people's holy place again.

Behind them, a ghostly white slender figure, seeping out of the darkness, appeared on the platform at the entrance to the altar. Dressed in white, charming and infinite, the starry sky seems to be attracted to her, but who is it not Xiaobai?

She glanced around a few times, and then looked into the dark cave, although it was still pitch black, but Xiaobai's eyes slowly flowed, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she seemed to feel something, shook her head silently, and sighed lightly.

The defense here was much worse than she expected, and there was no way to say that she and Ghost Li had come here to meet the Great Wizard. Not to mention the stout soldiers at the foot of the mountain, there should have been many sacrificial guards with witchcraft in this altar, which is almost defenseless like the one in front of them, it seems that the beast demon catastrophe is really a heavy loss for the Jin clan.

In fact, it's not just the Jin clan in front of them, looking at the world, for the beast god ~ people, I don't know how many innocent people have died and been displaced, and it's really hard to say what is right and wrong.

Xiao Bai shook his head slightly, didn't think about it anymore, his body swept up, turned into a white glimmer, and swept straight towards the cave. Most of the cave is still the same as before, the path has not changed, and after a distance, there is a torch on the stone wall, and it is still the same as before. It's just that Xiaobai perceived it and found that there were very few people in this cave near and far, even a few people, who were also breathing slowly and steadily, thinking that they were asleep.

Xiaobai didn't bother to pay attention to it, and flew silently in the cave according to the path in her memory, with her thousand-year-old Taoism, not to mention these lowly Jin clan sacrifices, even those who have profound cultivation, may not be able to notice her. In a few moments, she was outside the spacious cavern where the Great Wizard had lived.

At this point, Xiao Bai stopped, frowned slightly, and looked into the cave, although it was far away, she already felt that there was another person in it, and this person seemed to be different from the other people she felt just now, at least he was not sleeping.

In the cave, the blazing flames still emitted bright light, and in the bright shadow, the stone statue of the dog god loomed in the light and shadow. Xiao Bai's gaze stared at the dog's head on the statue for a moment, then retracted it and landed in front of the fire.

A young figure sat in front of the fire, with his back to the hole, Xiao Bai couldn't see his face clearly, and could only roughly see that it was a young man. I saw him facing the blazing flames, drawing mysterious and strange patterns in front of him from time to time, and at the same time reverently reciting something in the Jin clan in a low voice.

Xiao Bai quietly came behind the man, and the fire gradually shone on her body, and pulled a long shadow behind her. She listened intently to the young man's low, singing-like voice. The voice echoed through this ancient cavern, as if to tell something.

The muffled echo seemed to be endless, and from the side, the young Jin priest was full of piety, and most of them had fully integrated into the illusory world.

A trace of confusion gradually appeared on Xiaobai's face, and then he sighed softly. This strange sound immediately alarmed the young Jin priest, and his body shook, and he was about to turn around to check what was going on, but before his body moved, a delicate and white palm flashed in front of his eyes, and then landed on his head and patted it gently.

The young Jin priest suddenly rolled his eyes, his body trembled a few times, and in a moment he lost consciousness and fell to the ground beside him.

The mysterious chanting in the cavern, along with the echo, quietly calmed down. Xiao Bai looked at the young face, suddenly smiled, and said softly: "Whether there is a dog god or not, and whether the dog god will protect your people, I don't know, but with such a pious and determined person as you, presumably the great wizard can rest assured." ”

After saying that, she shook her head slightly, bypassed the young priest's body and the fire, and walked straight towards the statue of the dog god. For a long time, the Jin people believed in the dog god, believing that the dog god gave them a new life and protected the reproduction of the family, so even if it was a sacrifice in this cave, they would not dare to approach this god statue.

And at this moment, Xiaobai stood in front of this black stone carved dog god statue.

The whole body of the statue is carved from the black stone of southern Xinjiang, and the sè is shiny in the black, and there is a faint silver sè light, which emanates from it. Xiao Bai has a deep understanding of southern Xinjiang, and naturally knows that this is not a dog miracle that many Jin people believe in, but just an extremely rare xenomorph among the black stones, which contains shimmering silver chips to form this mysterious and beautiful glimmer.

However, the purpose of her trip was naturally not to see the statue of the Jin Dog God, and after a while, her attention was focused on the dog's head. This statue of the god has been handed down for a long time, and the carving skills are skillful, lifelike, and delicate, without the slightest ambiguity, if it were not for the obvious stone in front of them, it would almost make people think that it is a black dog with its mouth slightly open all the time.

And on the head of the statue of the dog god, the most conspicuous place is a pair of eyes, looking at the material, it seems to be a black stone, but the two black stones inlaid in the eye sockets are very different from the surroundings, more pure and profound, the fire in the distance is blazing, reflected in the eyes of this god statue, there seems to be a god in the trance, and he also stares at Xiaobai silently.

Xiao Bai's heart suddenly shook, he took a step back, and as soon as the pressure on his body was relaxed, his consciousness immediately came to his senses. She frowned slightly, glanced at the idol again, snorted, and said, "There is still such a confusing prohibition," and then she pondered, pondered for a moment, still a trace of confusion, and said softly, "But this is clearly the Tao of Middle-earth, how can it appear here?"

She thought silently for a moment, then shook her head, leaving the boring thought behind. For her at the moment, this is naturally not what she is exploring. She looked at the idol again, and finally her gaze fell on the vivid eyes of the idol, and she hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pressed lightly on the black and pure eyes.

Suddenly, there was a dull roar in the ancient cavern, which was not loud, but it seemed to make the spacious cavern tremble. The ancient statue of the dog god was in front of Xiao Bai, and in that low roar, it slowly descended and sank into the ground, until most of its body was covered, and only the head of the idol remained on the ground.

Behind the statue, a smooth stone wall appeared, and unlike the surrounding stone walls, there seemed to be a faint layer of black gas on it, which made it difficult to see. But this was no longer difficult for Xiaobai, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she stepped forward, and with a wave of her robe, a light breeze swept from under her hand, swept over the stone wall, and blew away the black air.

A little golden light suddenly appeared on the stone wall, and after a while, I saw another point, a little bit of golden light like a miracle that suddenly descended on this world, and they all appeared on the stone wall like a spring, forming a scene of magical pictures and words, and even Xiao Bai, who was standing not far away, was also slightly white with golden light on his face, staring at the mysterious pictures and texts that were presented in turn and the aura flowing, and his eyes flowed, and he looked at the past line by line. In front of her was the last secret of the ancient witch clan that had been passed down for countless years, her gaze jumped, sometimes frozen, sometimes joyful, and finally, she saw the huge fire dragon pattern that roared into the sky and was unruly.

Xiao Bai took a deep breath, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then, she confirmed it again, and then closed her eyes slightly, as if she was silently memorizing, remembering these pictures and texts in her heart.

When she opened her eyes again, the surging eyes swept over the stone wall, and she said to herself: "I didn't expect those guys to still have this hand, didn't they know that the Wu Clan was going to be destroyed?"

As she spoke, she smiled faintly, and seemed to bother to pay attention to the troubles of the ancients who didn't know how many years ago. When she turned around, she suddenly frowned, and her eyes suddenly froze, but they fell on the end of the glittering golden picture and text. Under the rampant and rebellious huge fire dragon pattern, there seemed to be a small piece of black qi that was different from the surrounding area, still attached to the stone wall.

Xiao Bai was slightly surprised, and pondered for a moment, after all, he still didn't want to let it go, and was about to check, when he suddenly asked her that her heart moved, Huo Di turned around suddenly, his eyes were instantly cold, and he looked coldly.

The vast cavern was empty, except for the occasional crackling of firewood from the burning fire, and there was not a single figure except for the young priest who had fallen to the ground and was still unconscious.

Xiao Bai's eyes drifted over the young priest, and after carefully looking at the surrounding caves, after making sure that there was nothing unusual, she frowned slightly and slowly turned around.

Could it be that he has been in this strange place for too long, and he has become a little suspicious?

Xiao Bai shook his head, smiled bitterly, calmed down, and then raised his hand, and the light wind blew out, but the force was greater than just now, and after a while, the remaining black gas finally dispersed.

On the stone wall, there are indeed several lines of text.

Xiao Bai jīng shook her head and looked carefully, and after a while, a surprise suddenly appeared on her face, and she blurted out: "It turns out, it turns out that the soul conjuring technique is ...... here."

It's just that as her gaze moved, the joy gradually faded, replaced by a heavy and confused look. At the end, after reading all the words, she slowly took a step back, like a spirit, and the little black qi suddenly surrounded her, covering the mysterious few lines of remorse.

Xiao Bai lowered his head slightly, was speechless for a long time, and only sighed softly for a long time, and said softly: "I see, the ancient witch clan is so ruined, this ...... But how is this good, should I tell him this?"

She seemed to have suddenly encountered great confusion in her heart, and she hesitated for a moment.

The black qi that was blown away by the wind slowly condensed again, and the text patterns that originally emitted brilliant golden light were slowly covered up again. Xiaobai turned slowly, and a low roar behind her sounded again, and the Dog God Idol rose back into place, covering the secret.

In the ancient cave, a qiē has regained its calm. Xiaobai's figure slowly paced out, she walked very slowly, looking preoccupied, but after a while, her figure finally disappeared into this cave.

The silence came here again, and I don't know how long it took, the ancient statue of the dog god silently stared at the one in this cave, and its eyes were full of light, which seemed so deep.

Suddenly, the body that had been lying on the ground moved, and the young Jin priest carefully got up and looked towards the entrance of the cave. There was silence and no movement, and it was clear that the mysterious woman in white had just left.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, his body that had been tense slowly relaxed, smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "It's so dangerous, if it weren't for my clan's autism magic, the six senses would be destroyed, and I really couldn't hide it from her......"

Then, his gaze suddenly became hot, and he turned sharply to look at the statue of the dog god.

Among the Jin people, they have always been in awe of the gods, especially the statue of the gods worshiped since ancient times. This young man has grown up in contact with this statue, even if he looks at it with his eyes, it is very rare, because in the rules of the clan, it is also a great disrespectful act.

But at this moment, his eyes reflected the raging flames, and it seemed that his body was also starting to get hot, and he stared at the idol, and the eyes of the idol seemed to be staring at him as well.

Immediately after, it seemed that a huge invisible force suddenly drove behind him, and the young priest gritted his teeth and walked towards the idol step by step. The eyes of the ancient god reflected the figure that was getting closer and closer, as if it also carried a trace of sadness.

Finally, he walked up to the idol, his trembling hands slowly raised, paused and paused in mid-air, but finally stretched out, the expression on his face seemed to be pain, struggle, but more like being scorched and tormented by a flame!

It's just that the hands, after all, still didn't take them back, and they were on the eyes of the idol.

In an instant, a low roar sounded again, and the whole cave began to tremble slightly, and the idol slowly sank into the ground again, and the mysterious stone wall was in front of him.

The young priest's eyes radiated a feverish flame, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed forward, waving his hands, and suddenly the black qi was scattered in all directions. Jin Sè's light slowly emerged again, reflecting his face brightly.

Ancient text patterns, which seem to have a beneficial and deceptive meaning, emerge one by one before his eyes. The expression on his face was like drinking wine, revealing indescribable ecstasy and satisfaction, and even his hands were trembling.

He gently touched the picture and text on the mysterious stone wall with a trembling hand, reading something in a low voice, with great joy, the text patterns, he seemed to see through them, he was so engrossed, so happy that he didn't even notice that at the bottom of this picture, almost connected with the surrounding darkness, there was a small black gas condensed.

Jin Sè's words and brilliant patterns seemed to have completely occupied his consciousness, and beside him, the statue of the dog god with only his head still on the ground still looked so deep in his eyes. Only at this moment, under the brilliant golden light on the flames and stone walls, the figure of the young priest was reflected in its eyes, and in addition to the initial trace of deep sorrow, it seemed to have more deep sorrow!
