It was none other than Lan Qian who was blocking the red spirit. Chi Ling said angrily: "Lan Qian, what are you stopping me from doing, your master is in danger now, do you want to sit idly by?"

Lan Qian said: "Brother Chiling, Master has taught me that I should act from knowledge, not from ignorance. The situation is unclear now, and if you act recklessly, it may be bad. When Brother Chiling was talking to his master about the Tianwu clan just now, Lan Qian heard it clearly on the side, and from beginning to end, Tianwu Mountain only punished the offended cultivators slightly, and did not harm the lives of any of them, so he felt that the Tianwu clan should not be unreasonable cultivators. What's more, if the master flew away by himself, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. Moreover, Master is the Lord of Destiny, and with the addition of luck, it will not be so easy for things to happen. ”

Lan Qian's words, the red spirit who said it also calmed down a little, but he was still a little worried. Lan Qian said again: "Brother Chiling, Lan Qian has a sentence, I don't know if you want to hear it?"

Chi Ling said: "Lan Qian, although you didn't talk much before, you have always been direct and refreshing, when did you become such a mother-in-law." Although you worship Brother Lu as your teacher, he is him, I am me, we have our own friends, you will not be a generation shorter than me, I am still your big brother Chiling, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. ”

Lan Qian nodded and said, "Brother Chiling, Lan Qian thinks that you are really a little rash now, in fact, you are too concerned about the safety of your master, so it is difficult to restrain your uneasiness, in fact, such recklessness may not be good for master." ”

Chi Ling was stunned, his face changed a few times, and Lan Qian said: "Brother Chi Ling, Lan Qian is not accusing you of anything, just ......"

Lan Qian still had to explain, but Chi Ling waved his hand, sighed and said, "No need to say more, Lan Qian." You have indeed grown. What you said is very right, I am indeed doing this out of my own impatience, and I did not calm down and think about Brother Lu. Thankfully, you can point it out, it looks like I'm doing it for my brother, but it's actually for myself. ”

Lan Qian said: "There is one more thing, Lan Qian feels a little strange in his heart. I wonder if Brother Chiling can sue me for the sake?"

Chi Ling was a little surprised, and said, "What's the matter?"

Lan Qian said: "I see that Brother Chiling seems to be very worried about Master, and I think it's a little strange......"

Chi Ling interrupted puzzled: "I care about your master, what's so strange about this?"

Lan Qian pondered: "Not only that, but I always feel that Brother Chi Ling has a different feeling besides caring for my master. Although Brother Chiling called Master one by one, it always made Lan Qian feel that your respect for Master far exceeded the ordinary feeling of respect. This respect. In the past, Lan Qian had only seen it when Brother Chiling was facing Great Elder Chi Xian, but now he is actually like this in front of my master, so I feel that Brother Chi Ling is a little strange! I don't know what kind of identity my master has in Brother Chi Ling's heart?"

Chi Ling didn't expect Lan Qian to ask this, his first reaction was not to answer, but to look back at the Angry Monk, but saw the Angry Monk standing with his back to them, obviously indicating that he didn't listen to them. Chi Ling's heart moved. Then he said: "Lan Qian, have you forgotten jì." The root fire god of our Red Flame Leopard Clan's Fire Spirit Divine Tree is in your master's body. If it weren't for your master, I'm afraid that this god of fire would be snatched away by the old man who forgot himself. Because of the God of Fire in your master, I am more respectful to your master. Actually, if you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have found out myself!"

As Chi Ling spoke, he looked at Lan Qian. Lan Qian saw that his eyes were different. Immediately reacted, what Brother Chiling said was not the real reason, but because the resentful monk was present, he was reluctant to say it. So he immediately cooperated: "So that's the case, Brother Chiling, your Red Flame Leopard clan worships the Fire Spirit Divine Tree as a sacred tree. Most respectful, as soon as you say this, I will figure it out. ”

Chi Ling said: "Lan Qian, what I just said is right, you have really grown a lot. You can notice such a subtle difference, well, I really should listen to you, calm down first, and wait a minute. Hopefully, the Witch Clan has nothing else to do. ”

Just when Chi Ling and Lan Qian were worried, on a flat ground on the top of Tianwu Mountain, there was a huge white square jade platform. This jade platform is very strange, the lower half of the floor is about ten zhang square, it is a square shape. The upper part was rounded and became like a half-cut column. The upper and lower circles of the jade platform are not stacked and spliced, but the whole piece of jade is made by grinding and pondering. Moreover, the whole jade platform has a uniform color and warm texture, and it is more faintly colorful under the sun, which is obviously a rare piece of jade, and it can also be regarded as a natural treasure.

It was noon, and the sun hung high in the sky, but when the sun fell on the top of Tianwu Mountain, it somehow mysteriously weakened its light, became a little dim, and even glowed black, becoming a kind of ghostly light. Therefore, even the glorious sunlight above the sky fell on Tianwu Mountain, and it became much softer. In addition, all kinds of ancient trees on Tianwu Mountain are towering to the sky, so that Tianwu Mountain has become very quiet, and only on the jade platform is extraordinarily bright!

At this time, around the jade platform, there are many people kneeling neatly and orderly, men and women, old and young, all dressed in costumes, and there are also many jade carved ornaments on their bodies, or carved into hanging around the waist, or carved into a string hanging around the neck, kneeling around the jade platform in a circle, the distance between each person is about the same, from the inside to the outside in a total of nine circles. Although they were kneeling, these people did not prostrate on the ground, but their backs were straight, and they all held a long jade plaque in their hands, but not all of them were white. Instead, they were divided into five colors: red, yellow, blue, black, and white, each of which was held by an equal number of people, exactly the same as the jade ornaments they wore and hung on.

In addition to being dressed up so ceremoniously, these people all looked solemn and looked at the top of the jade platform. At the top of the jade platform, there is a woman dressed in black, who is dancing a very special dance. Unlike everyone else, this woman had no jade on her body, her eyes were bright and her face was full as the moon, but there were five colors intertwined, outlined in a strange pattern, covering her original appearance. She wore her purple-red hair in a coil, a tall ancient crown, and a black tunic in her body. It was a man's outfit, but the black clothes showed his incomparably convex plump curves, a pair of snow-white forearms were exposed on the upper body, a string of snake bones was worn on the wrist of the left hand, two calves were exposed on the lower body, bare white and tender feet, and a bell was tied to the ankle of the right foot.

The woman danced on the jade platform. It is not like a normal dance, but each movement, forming a posture, will stop there, maintain a few breaths, and then change into another movement. And in between movements, the bells would sound as her feet moved, and a series of strange syllables would come out of her mouth, like a song. It is like chanting a mantra.

The bell rang and chanted, and the woman stood on one foot with her arms folded, tilting her head in contemplation, and then she changed her legs and leaned forward with her hands outstretched. Reach out to the sky and hold the moon. The feet that had been supported stretched out backwards made it feel like they were about to fly through the air. Just when people couldn't help but want to praise, the figure changed again, this time the woman disappeared directly from the same place, and when she reappeared, she had already moved elsewhere. It is in the form of touching the ears with one hand, as if it is possessed and listening, as if hearing all things...... But I saw that on the jade platform, the woman's posture changed in a thousand ways, and none of them were repeated. Like clouds covering the moon, like the wind too loose, the sky is wonderful.

As her posture changed, the woman also walked around the jade platform, and soon came to the center of the jade platform. I saw that there was a pair of footprints several inches deep in the center of the jade platform, with neat edges and concave and convex middle, which seemed to be carefully carved and pondered. And the last time the woman's posture changed, her feet just stepped on this pair of footprints, and her feet fell on it tightly, and the concave and convex soles of her feet were not the slightest difference from the footprints, and at the same time, a burst of mana poured out from her feet, making the woman and the jade platform perfectly integrated.

Only then did I know that these footprints were not carved, but were stepped on by this woman. It's just that the mana is not specifically for stepping on the footprints, but for communicating between the jade platform and the woman, so the impact on the stone platform can be described as minimal. To step on such a deep pair of footprints, I don't know how many years it took to work, and how many times this woman danced on this jade platform.

At the moment when the woman's feet landed on the footprints, the five fingers of her hands were forked, stretched out to the sky, and a long whistling sound came out of her mouth, loud and beautiful, never harsh, long and long, straight into the nine heavens. As this whistle sounded, the nine circles of people kneeling around the jade platform began to bow down to the jade platform, and at the same time let out echoing cheers. They bow in turn according to the jade strips of different colors in their hands, and when they prostrate, they get up and continue to shout, so that the five colors alternate, the sound is like a wave, the ups and downs, forming a strange fluctuation.

Obviously, this was a strange worship ceremony, and in the midst of the chanting, everyone's thoughts converged on the woman in black in the center of the jade platform. These thoughts, sincere and without any personal will, came from the heart and were incomparably sincere, and gathered behind the woman. The bell on the woman's ankle suddenly vibrated on its own, making a rapid sound that vaguely matched some strange rhythm. As the bell rang continuously, suddenly the string of snake bones on the woman's wrist turned into a snow-white white snake, spitting out a red letter, swimming along the arm of the woman in black to her body, swimming around her.

The white snake was only the thickness of a finger, and it was not long, and after swimming a few laps around the woman in black, it finally came to the woman's waist and swam for a week, head and tail together, biting its own tail, and never moving again, as if the woman had an extra white belt out of thin air.

As the white snake formed a belt, the ritual seemed to have come to an end, and the woman withdrew her hands, and the five-colored pattern on her face actually began to fade on its own, gradually revealing her true face. But the white snake would not immediately turn back into a bone string, but would wrap around the woman's waist like this for seven days. In the seven days that the white snake was belted, this woman was able to exert the power of heaven and earth. It wasn't until seven days later that the white snake would return to her wrist on its own and turn into a snake bone bracelet again, and the woman would no longer be able to borrow the power of heaven and earth.

And in these seven days, the closer you get to the day when the white snake turns into a bone, the power of heaven and earth that can be borrowed will gradually decrease. It is necessary to wait until the ritual is performed again, repeating one of the qiē in this ritual, and the woman can continue to exert the power of heaven and earth. Originally, if the ritual had ended according to the previous custom, the woman should leave the jade platform immediately, and the rest of the people would also leave in turn under her leadership. But to everyone's surprise, this time the woman did not move, but knelt on the ground abnormally and said loudly: "A thousand years of waiting, ushering in the people who are waiting." The eternal lineage of the Heavenly Witch Clan, the first thousand witches of the Heavenly Witch to meet the Lord of the Mandate of Heaven!"

Everyone was shocked, and all their eyes looked in the direction of the thousand witch bowing, only to see that directly above the jade platform, that is, above the head of the thousand witch, I don't know when there was an extra man, standing in the void, it was Lu Zheng. When Lu Zheng heard the words of the Thousand Witches, his face showed a look of doubt, and he said, "Are you called the Thousand Witches?" (To be continued......)
