Chapter 182: The Bronze Tree
After the light, Mu Qing quickly woke up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, he was still unable to do anything other than gradually sense the outside world.
His body tightened, and then Mu Qing felt himself being pulled up and moving somewhere.
The clanging metal handover and friction sound was non-stop, and some harsh sounds made Mu Qing's brows furrow, and his gaze returned, he saw that he was firmly bound by the metal chains that shimmered with rune light, and two youkai with shrunken bronze masks pulled him up and took him away.
Along the way, Mu Qing saw deep bronze everywhere, trees, flowers, buildings, sculptures, weapons, and even from the sound of two ape-like monsters walking, even the road was cast in metal.
As the two monsters walked towards the bronze ancient city, more and more monsters passed by, although the body size was different, but each monster wore a strange bronze mask, just like the strange bronze mask in the Sanxingdui ruins that Mu Qing had seen in his previous life, the lines were rough and the shape was weird, if it weren't for the strong mana aura on it, and the rune formation hidden in it, Mu Qing really doubted the true usefulness of these masks.
Along the way, there were boring and monotonous and gloomy and heavy colors everywhere, and there were only three huge stars in the sky exuding a dim yellow light, in a trance, Mu Qing suspected that he had entered the underworld, this was not a conjecture and hallucination, after Duanmu Ying's incident, Mu Qing had some understanding of ghost magic, although the monsters around him seemed to be no different from living people, but they exuded a faint aura of ghost magic.
If there are not so many bronze things, even if it is said that this place is the underworld, it is not unexpected, after all, at the junction of the human world and the underworld, the ghost city is hidden in Shu, and the witch magic is also related to ghosts, so there are many ghosts in the land of Bashu, and there are many people who believe in ghosts and gods, but with so many bronze casts, it is not inferior to a giant city with magic weapons, even if the underworld that now occupies the general trend of the underworld is not able to support it.
The ghosts and demons here are all above the fairyland, and the two ghosts and demons who caught Mu Qing are even more immortal, even if they walk on the ground, their speed is still extremely fast, and the more they go inside, the more ghosts and demons Mu Qing sees, and the more they dress and look like people.
Along the way, Mu Qing seemed to have watched the transformation of the demon clan into a human, and also appreciated the changes in the clothing of the ancient people, but later, Mu Qing's heart was a little heavy, and he saw a person wearing a Qin costume and a mask.
The masked people dressed up by those people are a little sluggish, but their cultivation is a real fairyland, judging from the blood stains on those people's bodies and the tattered clothes, they are the people who were slaughtered by ghosts and demons!
And what you see later proves Mu Qing's guess, starting from the people who were killed, bronze masked monks dressed in different sect costumes began to appear, and these people, like ghosts and demons, all exude a faint aura of ghost magic.
The bronze city is extremely huge, even if the speed is fast, but without flying, the two earth immortals and ghosts still haven't reached their destination for a long time, but according to the newly dead monks who appeared around, Mu Qing feels that it is estimated that it is about to arrive.
After some turning and running, Mu Qing was taken by the two of them to a huge bronze square, where there were more ghosts and demons, but the most eye-catching thing was not the large number of immortal-level bronze ghosts, but the huge bronze tree on the altar in the center of the square.
The copper tree is huge and stout, the trunk is straight, it is divided into nine branches, it is integrated into three clusters of upper, middle and lower, each branch has 3 peach-like fruits, two of which droop down, one fruit branch is picked up, there is a hook beak divine bird on it, it stands upright, and it is like spreading its wings and wants to fly. From the top of the trunk, a dragon swerved down, with its head held high, and stepped on the base of the tree.
Although the shape of the bronze giant tree is somewhat simple, its huge shape is still shocking, according to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "there is a Fuso in the Tang Valley, and it is bathed in ten days...... Nine days on the lower branch, one day on the upper branch. "This may be the sacred tree Fuso.
To be able to cast such a huge treasure, this kind of power should never be unknown, but neither the history books nor some sects have recorded this city and this tree, and these powerful ghosts and demons, as well as the "immortals" that can be quickly "manufactured", are enough to attract the attention of all forces in the world, but Mu Qing recalled the books he had read in the library pavilion, but he never found a single word related to this.
Under the rapid progress of the demons, the bronze giant tree in Mu Qing's eyes grew bigger little by little, and there were more and more demons around him, they wore bronze masks of different shapes, neatly arranged on the square, and saluted silently to the bronze giant tree.
The two demons did not stop, and walked through the square and went straight to the bronze altar, but after boarding the altar, Mu Qing's eyes changed abruptly.
In front of the bronze giant tree, a priest wearing a golden mask and holding a golden scepter, dressed in simple clothes but decorated with gold and jade, is praying to the giant tree, and the language he speaks is completely different from the language of Kyushu, even if he perceives it with his divine thoughts, he cannot understand its meaning, but the prototype of the bronze mask that slowly appears from the sky, and Erha, who is caught by the demon on the side and can only express his nervousness with his eyes, reveals his purpose - this priest "creates" many puppet-like demons in this way.
Mu Qing watched the mask in the air gradually take shape, but he was sealed and he had no choice, looking at Erha's eyes, Mu Qing was also powerless, he stared at the back of the golden-faced priest, and kept shouting in his heart "Stop!", but he couldn't make the slightest sound, he could only watch the priest take the mask, and in Erha's extreme resistance, cover his face.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Mu Qing only felt anxious, he couldn't wait to summon the victory and evil to kill all these monsters that were not human, not demon, and not ghost, but he was sealed by the strange magic weapon here, and he couldn't feel his magic weapon and power at all.
"Don't worry, when he's done, you'll be down there. ”
The sudden voice sounded in his head, Mu Qing's eyes changed color instantly, and he looked at the priest with white hair in surprise, but saw the other party turn his head and glance at him.
"The wood demon is hard to find, and what is even more valuable is that your tree species is extraordinary, and with you, the sacred tree will be resurrected again. ”
The voice in his head stopped, and the priest turned around again, and put the bronze mask on Erha's face, who was struggling in his eyes, and after the mask and Erha were tightly fitted, the mask suddenly shone brightly, and the two big eyes showed a dazzling light.
When the light stopped, Mu Qing saw that the chain seal on Erha's body disappeared, and he stood motionless, while the surface of the bronze mask was attached with a faint layer of gold.
Although he didn't understand what the priest said, from his laughter, Mu Qing probably guessed that this should be Erha's change far beyond the priest's expectations, and the immortal aura emanating from Erha also made Mu Qing's heart secretly frightened.
After the priest finished laughing, he said something to Erha, who was standing still, and then Erha turned obediently and walked to a group of people with golden masks like him to stand, and then, the priest turned his gaze to Mu Qing.
After muttering some unclear words, Mu Qing's body chains were directly untied, and then he felt a force envelop him and fly into the huge bronze tree with him.
The light of the tree body flashed, and Mu Qing directly blended into it, and then he saw that all the masked people in the square were singing and praying together, like golden-faced priests.
The golden-faced priest prayed for a while, waving his hand and scattering a large pile of gold magic weapons, runes, treasures and other valuables on the giant tree, and then the prayer became louder.
As the sacrifice progressed, the light of the ancient bronze tree flashed, and the offerings under the tree suddenly disappeared, and then, a raging fire rose into the sky. (To be continued.) )
