About a few hundred years ago, some ignorant places and villages on the land of China, once they encountered disasters, they would often hold some grand sacrificial ceremonies to pray for the blessing of ancestors and the protection of immortals.

For example, when a river is flooded, many villages along the river will discuss with each other, and in various strange ways, they will select as many boys and girls as they want, and throw them into the river to offer to a certain river god or a certain dragon god, praying for disaster relief.

For a long time, in Lin Muzhi's worldview, this was just an ignorant activity of feudal superstition.

But just ten months after the great changes in heaven and earth, Lin Muzhi has always loved the one-eyed grandfather who has a family, and the most respected old man in Maoergang Village, and completely told Lin Muzhi by giving his life that this method is feasible.

For more than ten months, the reason why there has never been harassment of fierce beasts and ghosts in the ancestral hall is because the one-eyed master has been using his own blood to pray for the protection of the spirits.

As for why the one-eyed prince embarked on such an extreme and perverted path as killing Lin Muzhi and sacrificing boys and girls, Lin Muzhi only found the answer after entering the ancestral hall.

More than 300 days and nights of blood sacrifices, perhaps the sacrificial spirit has a feeling, in the ancestral hall of the incense burner, written a clear will, ten pairs of boys and girls, can get my inheritance, immortality, rejuvenation.

Judging from Lin Muzhi's thoughts, this so-called sacrificial spirit is a proper evil spirit, but before Zhou Xun left, he clearly told Lin Muzhi that the sacrificial spirit has no good or evil, but it is just a one-eyed master, who used his own essence and blood to make the sacrificial spirits in the ancestral hall accustomed to the taste of human flesh and blood.

Yes, Zhou Xun is gone, like the cloud in Xu Zhimo's poems, whether you fan your sleeves or not, whether you take off your clothes or not, if I want to be there, then I will always be there, if I want to leave, it is useless for you to cry.

In fact, although Lin Muzhi was a little lost, it really didn't reach the point of crying bitterly, not to mention, before Zhou Xun left, he left Lin Muzhi with a little hope.

In the coming day, if you and I are successful in cultivation, there will be a day of goodbye on the avenue.

It's a very official and mysterious sentence, but it is down-to-earth, so that Lin Muzhi really began to integrate into the world after the drastic changes in the world, and let Lin Muzhi really know that there is a hope called cultivation.

On the eighteenth day of October of the lunar calendar, it is suitable for weddings, funerals, sacrifices, and avoid traveling far.

On the tenth day after Zhou Xun left, a batch of brand-new fierce beasts and beasts appeared in the village again, mixed with three or five wild ghosts that came out of nowhere.

Fortunately, in these short ten days, Lin Muzhi collected enough food from the village to eat for three or five years, and if he didn't go out, he could still live a comfortable life and give Lin Muzhi some time to think about it.

However, what worries Lin Muzhi is that after there is no longer the one-eyed master's sneaky bloodletting sacrifice every day, the protection power of the entire old mansion is getting weaker and weaker, and even some bold beasts have begun to pick up the walls of the old mansion.

This made Lin Muzhi very melancholy, in Zhou Xun's words, and today's great changes are just the initial stage, although there is a revival of the sacrificial spirit, but it is all a blank paper, and the habits of the people who sacrifice will gradually become the habits of the sacrificial spirits.

If Lin Muzhi continues to sacrifice ancestral spirits with human blood, then one day, after Lin Muzhi can't satisfy the appetite of the sacrifice spirits, the sacrifice spirits will take it himself.

Dilemma, this is the truest portrayal of Lin Muzhi at this moment, but it is those bear children in the yard, after the food is sufficient, they eat white and fat, energetic, and mischievous, which always makes Lin Muzhi have the urge to go crazy.

Late at night.

Lin Muzhi pretended to be fierce and swept out the last green-eyed spider lying on the wall, and forced a smile to gradually put the twenty or so bear children to sleep, and then came to the ancestral house of the ancestral hall with a frown.

The sacrificial spirit enshrined by the one-eyed prince is not the ancestral spirit of the one-eyed master's family, but a willow stake in the ancestral hall that I don't know when it became a fine, and on the stake after the thunderbolt, a willow branch with three or five leaves growing is shaking happily, and every time it shakes, it exudes a green brilliance, turning into an invisible qi machine, shrouding the entire old house.

Thunder splits wood, new willows.

When Zhou Xun saw it, he once said that this should be the most righteous kind of sacrificial spirit, born sacred, warding off evil spirits and suppressing demons, but the one-eyed master used the wrong sacrificial method, so that the small willow branch that was originally like green jade jade was dyed with a layer of fine blood-colored halo.

If this blood-colored halo is allowed to gradually invade the core of the willow branch, the entire house, including Lin Muzhi, more than 20 lives, no one can escape the poisonous hand of this willow branch sacrifice spirit.

Even if it is just a newborn sacrifice spirit, its strength and destructive power are enough to be comparable to the Hulk in Hollywood blockbusters, and it is the kind that completely abuses the other party.

As for washing away the blood-colored halo on the willow branches, it is not impossible.

First, Lin Muzhi was able to find the legendary rootless spiritual water in the cultivation world and reshape the will of the sacrificial spirit; second, find a person who has attained the Tao and use his original power to break the blood halo on the willow branch; third, with absolute strength, directly extinguish the willow branch in front of him, re-sacrifice, and wait for the sacrificial spirit to take shape again.

The first two methods, Lin Muzhi doesn't know what rootless spiritual water is, let alone what a master of the Tao looks like, as for the third method, since Lin Muzhi got up at night to pee, he saw the light on the willow branch, like a spear to string several fierce beasts that attacked the mansion at night into meat skewers, Lin Muzhi has never dared to have any thoughts again.

The green light flickered, mixed with wisps of blood-colored halo, Lin Muzhi sat on the kang in the ancestral house, and could even clearly feel the will transmitted by the sacrificial spirit willow branch, which was the will to summon Lin Muzhi to let blood and sacrifice.

Even, Lin Muzhi did not sacrifice for ten days, and there were already some dissatisfied feelings in his grand and vast will.

"His sister, Zhou Xun's little girl, is obviously a virtuous person, she kissed Lao Tzu for nothing, but she didn't help a little, she didn't fight righteousness, this bloodletting is also death, and not bloodletting is also death, eh......"

Lin Muzhi said to himself, but when he really thought of Zhou Xun, Lin Muzhi still felt a little warm in his heart.

Zhou Xun really didn't help Lin Muzhi solve the trouble of the sacrificial willow branch, but that was because Zhou Xun had just stepped into the path of cultivation, and he really couldn't handle the powerful sacrificial spirit.

On the contrary, when Zhou Xun left, he once proposed to leave Maoergang Village with Lin Muzhi and a group of bear children, and send Lin Muzhi and others to some big cities that are still safe, but Lin Muzhi's heart remembered that his parents were plundered by demon beasts to Wansui Mountain, and did not agree.

"I knew that I went with the little goblin of Zhou Xun, and I heard the little goblin of Zhou Xun say that there is also a sacrificial spirit in the capital, which is a super tree, and it can be sacrificed with ordinary grains and three animals, you say that you are too, and the sacrifices are still picky, and you have to ask for human blood, is it not good to have animal blood and insect blood......

Lin Muzhi said to himself, his eyes looked at the sacrificial spirit willow branch in front of him, but he was obviously a little distracted.

"Smack!"

Xu is Lin Muzhi was too awe-inspiring, a green light flickered, and it actually sounded on Lin Muzhi's face like a substance, making Lin Muzhi suddenly sober up from his distraction.

"Rub, don't take you to be so insulting, don't you know if you don't hit people in the face!"

"Smack!"

"Damn, don't be so arrogant, believe it or not, I cut off your roots with scissors, anyway, if you don't give me a way to live, I'm ready to fight with you!"

"Smack!"

With three sounds in a row, Lin Muzhi's face was a little swollen, but this time, Lin Muzhi stayed there as if he was stupid, and he could see Lin Muzhi's brain in his eyes.

It's not that Lin Muzhi was beaten into a fool, but under the kind of green light on the sacrificial spirit, Lin Muzhi's mind, accompanied by a kind of traction in the green light, the whole person's soul seemed to have entered a strange world.

This is a purple ocean, a huge arc like a python and a dragon, constantly rolling in the purple ocean, thunderclouds everywhere, electric light all over the world.

And in this overwhelming sea of thunder, a tender green willow branch, like a newborn baby, took root in the sea of thunder, absorbing the endless essence of thunder and lightning, turning into a touch of emerald green and jade-like life brilliance, replenishing it to its body.

I don't know how long it took, but a new bud slowly grew on the willow branch.

Thunder sea, willow buds, violence and tranquility, ruin and vitality, are clearly distinct but blended together, forming a picture that makes people tremble inexplicably.

However, in this picture, the only thing that hurts the egg is that wisps of blood-colored scratches are wrapped around the picture, destroying the beauty of the whole picture.

Thanks to Lin Muzhi's nerves, he didn't know what was going on, the obsessive-compulsive disorder hidden in his bones suddenly attacked, and he reached out to wipe off the blood-colored scratches and silk threads.

With the rise of Lin Muzhi's thoughts, in an instant, the thunder sea rolled, the green light swayed, and in Lin Muzhi's entire mental world, infinite light churned out, turning into a series of divine rays, and swept towards the blood-colored silk threads in the void.

It's like a dream, real and unreal.

Until the sky brightened, Lin Muzhi's whole body suddenly collapsed on the ground like mud, as if there was a pain like a needle and a knife in his head that swept through his body.

What Lin Muzhi didn't notice was that on the body of the sacrificial spirit willow branch in the ancestral house, the blood-colored halo that was originally very obvious had unconsciously faded a lot.
