Chapter 5: The Sacrifice of Life
The fusion of the platinum giant wolf ended, and after the dazzling flickering of golden light, several figures appeared in it again, but unfortunately the shaman and the Mongolian strong man all fell to the ground without being able to do so. I hurriedly ran over to take a look, and I couldn't help but tremble.
It turned out that the old shamans who looked red before were completely in their old age, their skin was rapidly aging, wrinkled, and there were countless age spots, all of them turned into white-haired old men, and their thin bodies were even more excessive. Three old men died at the same time as they fell to the ground, and although the little old man still had his breath left, he was also dying.
Those Mongolian men were not much better, and the young people who originally looked like they were in their twenties turned into nearly forty years old in an instant, and wrinkles appeared deeply on their foreheads and the corners of their eyes.
What exactly happened here, and how did they change so much all at once?
As I lifted up the weakened shaman and the withered Mongolian warrior one by one, the werewolves who had retreated rushed back, and their eyes turned red when they saw the withered and senile appearance of the master and his brothers.
We all sank, carrying the shaman and the fallen Mongol brothers on our shoulders and headed out of the tomb. Chi Lao Wen, who was still hovering in mid-air, looked at us silently, and without saying a word, just before we were about to leave the royal tomb, he took out a small bottle from his arms, shouted at us, threw it far away, and then turned around and flew back to the Mongolian tent.
At this time, it was already a morning light around us, and after we climbed out of the royal tomb, the surrounding earth shook slightly again, and in a large puff of gray smoke steaming, the huge royal tomb was again covered by the thick soil, and the grassland was still the same as before. I don't see any change.
After a night, it was almost a lose-lose outcome. The shamans used their old age and lives to stop the Red Moon Alliance's corruption of Genghis Khan's tomb, and the Red Moon League lost a huge number of Yin Ghost Legions and more than a dozen zombies. also went away in a huff.
Back at the camp, two more old shamans were completely out of breath in the middle of the road. So far, five of the seven old shamans have died, and a dozen young strong men have also died, which can be described as a major loss for the shaman inheritance on the grassland.
The little old man looked at the small porcelain vase that Chi Lao Wen handed over at the end, and the Mongolian language on it was very familiar to him, and it was written "Forty-Nine Xuandan". The little old man's eyes moistened, and his hands trembled visibly, looking at his dead old companion. He raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and said in pain: "Evil demon, my steppe shaman lineage is incompatible with you! God is pitiful, my shaman clan is there for the sake of the steppe, for the tomb of the Great Khan, immortal heaven, please give your people stronger strength." After a few whimpering, the little old man sighed softly: "Old brothers, Senior Chi Lao Wen brought this 'Forty-Nine Xuandan'. It's a pity that you went too fast, otherwise we would still be able to continue to be lively together, and now, you are all gone. There are only two of us left, but for the sake of our shaman's inheritance, we will definitely turn our apprentices into the most powerful wolves on the grassland. Rest assured. Brothers, I will certainly live up to your hopes. ”
The little old man poured out the pill. One was distributed to each of them, and there were still a few left. He looked at me and asked me to take one as well.
"This is the elixir given to us by the ancestors of Chi Lao Wen, this 49 Xuandan is made of more than 1,000 years of old ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and yellow essence, etc., and has a great creation of resurrection and growth cultivation, but it is a pity that your master took the first step, otherwise with this medicine, he may not be able to die. Let's hurry up and take it to replenish our vitality and increase our cultivation, we are a shaman in the grassland, we must inherit the will, fight against the evil demons and guard the grassland, cough, cough!" the little old man said with some excitement and coughed.
Later, I learned that the shamans saw that the guardians in the royal tomb were invincible to the evil demons of the Red Moon Alliance, and in a hurry, they cast the shaman's forbidden technique of "sacrifice", at the cost of their own lives, in exchange for huge power to fight against the demons, the tornado and the platinum giant wolf I saw were all the power they exchanged for the method of sacrifice, but because the overdraft was too huge, the old shamans who were already in their twilight years could not support it after completing the spell.
The shamans' reverence and love for the steppe and the Mongolian ancestors is their lifelong belief, and all the efforts for this belief are also the glory of their lives.
This time, the Red Moon Alliance was repelled and caused some losses to them, I estimate that the Red Moon Alliance should not boldly invade the royal tomb again in the short term, especially since there are still masters like Chi Lao Wen in the royal tomb.
We rested in the camp for about ten days, during which time the old shaman and several deceased youths were buried in the "deep hiding" method of modern Mongolian funerals. In fact, according to the local name, the deceased are generally called "old", and after hiding deeply, they should be sent to "Dewa Zhen", which means a happy place without dust.
In addition, I also took the "Forty-Nine Xuandan". This elixir does have the effect of ghosts and gods, and for shamans who have been aged or injured before, their vitality and injuries have completely recovered within a day or two, while for those who have not been injured, their vitality has increased unprecedentedly. I don't know what kind of increase a few young shamans have gained, but I understand that a strong True Yuan Qi was very pure released from the pill, and rushed directly to my lower dantian Jin Dan, after nine days and nine nights of cultivation and operation Zhou Tian, these Yuan Qi were completely absorbed into the Jin Dan, and the Jin Dan also changed from the original size of corn to the size of a peanut!
Actually, what I don't know is that eating these 49 Xuandans is equivalent to increasing my Jindan cultivation for more than 20 years out of thin air! Because after entering the Jindan period, it takes about 20 years of hard work to cultivate from a corn-sized Jindan to the size of a peanut.
After stabilizing the cultivation, I took out the red gourd, and according to the magic of the magic weapon of the red gourd, I used the Yuan Shen to enter it to see the ghosts that were received.
The red gourd is extremely cleverly designed, containing a barrier-like space that traps the ghost so that it cannot escape at all, and the remnant spirit of the ghost has not dissipated in it, and it seems that it is still lingering. I know that there are still sober spirits in this remnant soul.
Use the golden sword to draw out a thunderbolt and send it into the red gourd with the original god, relying on the wonderful use of this magic weapon. Use lightning in the gourd to trap the remnants of the ghost. Seeing the thunder and lightning, this demon can be described as shocked. I communicated with him with my mind: "Spirit." When you enter my treasure gourd, it's best not to think about it. You are now surrounded by the power of thunder and lightning, I think, your soul can no longer touch the power of thunder and lightning, otherwise what will be the consequences, I think you know in your own heart!"
"Hero, spare the little ghost, I'm innocent!" the cunning ghost began to beg for mercy and cry out for justice without understanding anything, I smiled bitterly and continued to deal with it.
"Don't say it's useless, I'll just ask you and answer it. Let me tell you. Back then, there were a few young people playing pen fairy games in the cemetery, and the families killed by you were ruined, and I was one of the people who was unjustly imprisoned by you. So, don't play with me, I want to know some news from you about the Red Moon Alliance, and if I'm satisfied, maybe I'll give you a way out, otherwise do you think I can let you go?" I said bluntly to the ghost.
A wisp of the ghost's soul opened its mouth wide in a very humane way, revealing an incredible expression. It should have realized the situation he was facing, and nodded with its soul-shaped head and said, "You ask." ”
"What is the purpose of the Red Moon Alliance coming to this royal tomb?" For the ghost, it has no other choice at all, for this kind of demon that has been practicing for hundreds of years. Going up in smoke is the result they fear the most, and even if there is a glimmer of hope for survival, they are unwilling to let go.
By the Ghost Spirit. I know a lot more about the Akatsuki Alliance, and I probably know their movements and purposes. It's a pity that the Charm Demon is just a thug trained by the Red Moon Alliance. A lot of the insiders don't even know about them. Still, some motives can be guessed from some of the deployments.
It's beyond my imagination. For example, in the Yuan Dynasty, the name of the Red Moon League was "Mingjiao", and later in the Qing Dynasty, its name was "White Lotus Sect", but the Red Moon League has not been the mainstream of these sects, and is often attached to them as a branch of these sects. It can even be traced back to a longer era, and it can be related to the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States.
With such a deep historical background, the inheritance has not been interrupted, and all dynasties have been accumulating strength in the shadows, which seems to be always brewing but not publicized.
Hundreds of years ago, the Red Moon Alliance cultivated four mandrill demons and ghosts, and they were still very ignorant at the time. After the cultivation of the Demon Gate, he gradually became a powerful demon who could devour ghosts, and did things everywhere for the Red Moon Alliance.
As far as the ghosts know, in the process of developing and growing over the years, the Red Moon Alliance has colluded with other schools and people in the Demon Dao, and formed an alliance with the European Dark Church, planning a big plan together, but as for the inside story of this plan, it is not known to the Ghost Spirit.
In essence, the Ghost Spirit is the four domestic dogs raised by the Akatsuki Alliance, and the Akatsuki Alliance not only raises them, but also operates several underworld mansions in various places, which are used to cultivate the Yin Army and raise ghost babies in captivity. After years of development, it has begun to take shape.
Coming to this valley, for them, it is just as a minions to corrupt the protection of the royal tomb, the real purpose is unknown, but it seems to have a certain connection with a major artifact in the royal tomb.
I know, from this guy's mouth, I can only ask these contents, and what I am more concerned about at the moment is where the Akatsuki Alliance is currently hiding, and if I can know, I can prepare for the next step.
Before this, they have been in the dark, and from the mouth of the ghost, the Akatsuki League usually stays in a lot of secret places, often the three holes of the cunning rabbit, the whereabouts are erratic, in the north, the ghost knows a larger base, located in the northern border of the Northeast region of an underground camp, it is said that the Japanese Kwantung Army dug a military base in the Northeast, after the defeat of Japan, this secret base was abandoned.
It seems that this is the only news that can be found from the mouth of the ghost, and the four of them have been collected in the gourd for several years, and they don't know much about the outside world, not like a few years ago, they were sent out to collect the ghosts of people with pure yin in the world.
The ghost is very cooperative, and judging by its cautious and submissive attitude, it wants to live. I thought about how to deal with this guy after all, of course I was happy to kill him, and my years of grudge were over, but after killing it, in the final analysis, I am no longer the Yang Wei who only thought about revenge back then. The Akatsuki Alliance is the one who started it all.
I'm going to hand over the demon to Prajna Vajra-in, and I believe that only there will this demon find its rightful place.
The little old man not only made up for the overdraft with the Forty-Nine Xuandan, but also recovered more ruddy than before looking at his face and complexion. On this day, the little old man chatted with me, and we felt that the Akatsuki Alliance should not come in the short term. The little old man wanted to take the young shamans to the shaman temple in the north to be baptized, and asked me where I was going next.
I pondered for a moment and told the little old man what I really thought: "Uncle, I want to go to the northern border of the Northeast, where there may be a base of evil demons, I want to go over and take a look, if possible, help you completely cut off the scourge of these evil kings' tombs!"
"Ah, the Northeast! It's a bitter cold place, and besides, you're no match for them alone. You must not die in vain. Why don't you wait a little longer, I'll watch the disciples get baptized, and when we are stronger, let's go together!" said the little old man.
"Hehe, don't worry, uncle, I still have some friends, maybe you can help me, besides, I'll just go and see first, can't I run if I can't beat me" I said to the little old man.
"Anyway, be careful, I'll give you a call, we will be able to complete the baptism ceremony in about a month or two, so that the young shaman will inherit more powerful power, and when the time comes, you can contact us, and we will kill it together!" the little old man left me a phone number and wrote down my communication method. Even though I haven't used a phone for a long time. (To be continued......)
