396 Episodes of the Realm in the Painting
The young man in brocade pursed his lips and said, "Don't talk about the foundation building period, those dozen or so Dan period are just the bottom of the Dan monks." The really capable Jiedan monks have all gone to participate in the competition for the Zixiao Bead, who cares about the Fire Phoenix Bone?"
A short Taoist who had never spoken a word interjected at this time: "Hu has no interest in Mo Chong and Fire Phoenix Bone. But Su Daoyou, how long do you say it will take to get to that place? We've been traveling for five or six hours. ”
Su Yun was silent for a moment and said, "It's already here." ”
Several people present were stunned when they heard this. The young man in brocade raised his eyebrows, and suddenly his palm flipped over, and a feather fan woven with an unknown bird suddenly appeared in his hand. The next moment, the young man poured mana into the feather fan in his hand and fanned it hard. A gust of wind suddenly flew out of the fan, and the surrounding gray fog was immediately swept away by this gust of wind, and the gray-brown ground and a high platform not far from the ground suddenly appeared.
This high platform is blue-black and is made of large blocks of dark cyan jade. It is boxy, nine zhang in length and width, with stairs sloping down on all sides, and in the center of the high platform is a bronze incense burner that is a few feet high, and the furnace is full of burned incense roots. It seems that the high platform is somewhat like a sacrificial altar.
Seeing this high platform, except for Su Yun, a trace of joy flashed in the eyes of several people. As soon as the brocade-clothed young man put away the feather fan in his hand, he wanted to step forward, but after thinking about it, he still paused his feet, and thought about a few people behind him: "How is it, are you ready?"
"No problem. The brocade-clothed boy nodded first.
The dwarf Taoist said in a deep voice, "Let's go." Everything has been in place for a long time...... Haven't we been preparing for 12 years? ”
The yellow-faced man didn't speak, but looking at his eyes, the meaning was naturally obvious. See here. The brocade-clothed young man nodded. Then he took a deep breath. Stride forward.
The five-zhang high platform was not very high, and several people quickly reached the top. When I got to the stage, I found that there was another scene on the ground of the original high platform. The floor is not covered with bluestone bricks, but cast in bronze. It is carved with a bronze sculpture of ancient ancestors' sacrifices. And near the center of the bronze carving, that is, under the oblique of the bronze incense burner, there is a hole slightly larger than the fist, slightly rounded. This corresponds to the large mouth of a demon beast that is sacrificed alive on the relief.
Several people saw the sacrificial pattern on the ground. In addition to the excitement, there was also a little more solemnity in his expression. The young man in brocade said in a low voice: "Light the lantern!" The young man in brocade himself took out three large incense sticks thicker than his arm from his arms.
When the other four heard this, they didn't speak, and each walked to the corner of the high platform. With a flip of their palms, each took out a bronze lamp with a strange style from his arms. The bronze lamp's long candlestick is nine feet long, with a pointed cone-shaped end. With a force in the hands of the four people, four bronze lamps were suddenly inserted into the four corners of the high platform. And the moment the bronze lamp was inserted into the high platform, the copper plate containing the lamp oil at the top immediately 'whewed'. A blue-white flame ignited on its own.
The young man in brocade standing in the center of the high platform had already lit three large incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner. At this time, everyone had already lit the lantern. His face suddenly showed a solemn look, and he carefully opened a spirit beast bag on his waist. I saw a flash of blue light, and a demon beast that looked like a wild boar flew out of the spirit beast bag, but there was a blood-red eye on its forehead. This three-eyed pig demon is obviously still alive, but it is confined to action, and can only 'snort' and pant heavily.
The young man in brocade flipped his palm, and there was already a bronze knife in his palm, as if he was about to attack the three-eyed pig demon in front of him. However, before he could make a move, he paused for a moment, then raised his head again and glanced at the people around him. Several people were also staring nervously at the movements of the brocade-clothed young man at this time, and when they saw him looking, they nodded at the same time. Seeing this, the young man's eyes flashed suddenly, and the bronze knife in his hand quickly slashed across the neck of the three-eyed pig demon on the ground. The three-eyed pig demon's body trembled suddenly, and the crimson blood suddenly 'gurgling' out of his neck, pouring into the mouth of the bronze monster on the ground.
The bronze monster on the ground gradually flashed in his eyes with the influx of blood from the three-eyed pig demon, first a little, and then a piece. It came to life! The bronze monster, which had been only a relief, came alive, and it was constantly struggling, and it let out an angry roar from its mouth.
Things around the monster also changed with the monster's movements. The first is the offering table under it. The bronze offering table turned into a real vermilion lacquer red table in the blink of an eye, and the fresh fruits on the red table were also presented one by one. Then, the ancient ancestors around the offering table also came to life. Then, there are the servants, chariots and horses, distant mountains, blue skies and white clouds who stand in the distance and are not qualified to approach the offering table. The entire world of bronze reliefs, at this moment, actually reappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
These vivid characters turned a blind eye to the young people in brocade around them, but they were busy with their own things. I only heard the middle-aged man in the front who was dressed in a gorgeous costume, wearing a high crown, and looking majestic, said loudly:
"The minister is sincere and fearful, and he first told the God of the sky and the gods of the four directions: since the minister's accession to the throne, he has respected the legacy of his ancestors, sympathized with the sufferings of the people, cured the five qis, and the five kinds of arts, cared for the people, and lived in the four directions. At this time of crisis in China, with the protection of Emperor Wangtian and the gods of the Quartet, he helped his ministers to chase meat porridge from the north and to the south, so as to restore peace to the world and return all countries to one......
"Look over there!" The young man in brocade had been looking around since the world inside the relief appeared, and at this time, the yellow-faced man suddenly pointed to the distance and said loudly. I saw that the direction he was pointing was a forest. Deep in the woods, there was a strange creature that looked like a deer and had a dozen sharp white bone spurs on its back, grazing quietly.
Everyone first glanced at this strange creature, and then they all looked at Su Yun. Su Yun shook his head and said, "This is a deer-backed toothed beast, although its appearance is terrifying, it actually has no attack power. ”
There was a hint of disappointment on everyone's faces. But soon, the brocade-clothed boy immediately shouted again: "Over there, by the water!" In the direction of his finger, there was a pool of water. In the water, a creature that looks like a crocodile, but is slightly twice the size of a crocodile, is dragging a struggling wild boar from the water's edge into the water.
Su Yun shook his head and said, "That's the crocodile." Except for the size, it is similar to today's crocodiles, do you think?"
When several people heard this, their faces suddenly showed disappointment again. Next, everyone kept pointing out the creatures that appeared in front of them, but they were all denied by Su Yun one by one. And the bronze sculpture world in front of him began to show signs of instability because of the exhaustion of the blood of the three-eyed pig demon.
"There's no time!What about that one!?" The brocade-clothed young man suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to a huge iron cage in the sacrificial procession. The cage contained a creature that was tightly bound by ropes, slightly larger than a tiger, resembling a gray wolf, but with yellow and black markings on its back.
Su Yun glanced at the monster in the iron cage that looked like a gray wolf, and hesitated: "This ...... It's like a steppe wolf...... However, I don't know what its attack power is, and whether it is suitable for being a machine spirit......"
The brocade-clothed young man said: "Enough! Since it is a wolf, it always has some offensive power! Hurry up!" As he spoke, he took the lead and ran towards the iron cage. The rest of the group immediately followed. Su Yun frowned, and in the end, he could only follow.
"Dang!"
There was a crunch. The big sword of the brocade-clothed young man quickly slashed on the iron cage. The seemingly ordinary iron cage was hit by him, a monk in the late stage of foundation building, and only a mark appeared. When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but be taken aback. Although the young man in brocade was just a casual blow, he did not use any real power. But at the moment, this iron cage is only made by mortal craftsmen, and it is so strong?
And because of this action of the young man in brocade, the people around him who were ignoring them seemed to have discovered them at this moment, and someone immediately shouted: "There are assassins!" "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" "Protect the king!"
Immediately, the people in the audience were divided into two groups, one group supported around the man in Chinese clothes who was reciting the sacrificial text. The other group surrounded the young man in brocade, and they all bent their bows and arrows. Suddenly, "Whoosh! Dense arrows were fired at the five people in the field from all directions.
Seeing this, the five people immediately urged their mana and stretched out the protective shield. However, it was obviously just an arrow shot by an ordinary mortal, but its power was amazing. As soon as the shields of the five people were shot by these arrows, they immediately twisted and deformed, and the light flashed. Legend has it that the ancient ancestors were fierce, and they really lived up to their reputation.
"You are responsible for blocking these barbarians, and I will break the iron cage!" the young man in brocade immediately made a decision and let out a low shout.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts. They were all immortal cultivators in the foundation building period, and they didn't expect to be so strict against a group of mortals. However, no one felt that the arrangement of the young man in brocade was wrong, and after personally experiencing the power of the bows and arrows of these ancient ancestors, they did not dare to take it lightly.
"Hmph. Is it a foreigner?, so this steppe wolf that tried to attack the king's chariot was also instructed by you?" a cold voice came from the crowd. I saw that surrounded by a group of samurai, a red-haired old man with a naked body, painted with colorful patterns, and a strange high hat made of various colors of feathers appeared in everyone's sight.
As soon as the surrounding mortals saw this old man, they immediately said in unison, "Lord Priest!"
The red-haired old man waved his hand and said, "You are not their opponents, stand down." (To be continued......)
