Zhang Cundao heard ridicule, provocation, and even a hint of deep fear in his words. The young man in front of him seemed to hate him very much, but there was also some fear in this hatred.
He understood young people's jealousy, but this was obviously not jealousy.
Zhang Cundao took a deep look at him. There was no joy or sadness in his look, as if the person in front of him was an insignificant ant. The young man in front of him was deeply hurt by Zhang Cundao's look. He immediately became angry and became angry.
He grabbed Zhang Cundao's collar and tried to beat him.
But at this time, a scream came from the side.
"Ming! What are you going to do? I'm going to call someone!"
This time, it was Xi who shouted out, and she hurried over at this time. More boys and girls put down their work and looked over here.
The young man named Ming put down his arms angrily. He looked around with ferocious eyes. The young men who met his eyes lowered their heads in fear. He snorted coldly and left here directly.
But Xi rushed to Zhang Cundao at this time. She supported Zhang Cundao and said with a frown: "What are you doing up? What you should be doing now is recuperating!"
Zhang Cundao slowly shook his head and said: "If this injury is healed, this person will be dead." Listening to Zhang Cundao's words, Xi's eye circles turned red, and she murmured: "Then what should we do?
Well? Even if you are injured, you cannot accept the blessings from the Ox God..."
"Blessing from the Ox God?" Zhang Cundao was stunned after hearing this. What is this? Is it the source of the power in his body? Then he immediately said: "Don't worry about the other things, take me to the Ox God to bless me first!"
"
When Xi heard his words, she shook her head resolutely. She glared at Zhang Cundao and said, "Your current body cannot accept the blessing of the Ox God! You will die!"
...Under Zhang Cundao's persuasion, Xi finally reluctantly brought Zhang Cundao to the place blessed by the Ox God.
When he arrived here, Zhang Cundao saw a large stone covered with colorful ribbons and painted colorfully. The stone looked a bit like a lying cow. A circle of stones of different sizes surrounded the stone.
, forming a simple 'altar'.
And when Zhang Cundao entered the stone circle, a familiar yet unfamiliar force came out from the big stone.
He said he was familiar with it because Zhang Cundao had once experienced this kind of power. It was the power of ancient ghosts and gods.
He said it was unfamiliar because Zhang Cundao only knew that it was the power of ancient ghosts and gods.
In the world of mist, the ancient ghosts and gods have been basically suppressed. Even if there are ghosts and gods that survive, most of them have turned to ghost ways or other ways of cultivation.
Only in isolated and remote places like Yelang Kingdom, some remnants of the ancient ways of ghosts and gods still remain.
But now when Zhang Cundao saw this stone, he felt a strong spirit of ghosts and gods on this stone. This cow god was clearly an ancient ghost and god.
The ancient way of ghosts and gods, in witchcraft and sacrifice, does not focus on cultivation, but puts sacrifice first. People who adhere to this way pray for the power of ghosts and gods to bless their bodies, thereby obtaining extraordinary power. This kind of blessing
Not only will you not be able to live forever, but your body will be damaged by the violent power of ghosts and gods.
In ancient times, the more powerful a person was, the shorter his lifespan was. On the contrary, a weak and mediocre person still had a chance to die.
As he felt this power, Zhang Cundao's mind became even more confused.
Could it be that Bai Wu brought him to the ancient times? I have never heard that Bai Wu has the ability to travel through time!——
After returning from the altar of the Ox God, Xi went to work again. These boys and girls were slaves, slaves of the high priest who served the Ox God. As slaves, their daily job was to raise cattle, and whenever the high priest
When sacrificing to the Ox God, these slaves may also be used as sacrifices and offered to the Ox God together.
If you want not to be used as a sacrifice, you must show your ability. And becoming a believer of the Ox God is the best way to show your ability.
Zhang Cundao's body... He didn't know whether he was soul-wearing or wearing clothes. This body was his own, but it seemed that he had lived here for fifteen years...
And he is also one of the few among this group of slave boys who can feel the majesty of the Bull God and can absorb the power of the Bull God into his body.
According to the rules, he only needs to pass the test of the Ox God to break away from his status as a slave and become an Ox God warrior worshiping the Ox God. From a slave to a master in one fell swoop!
With a talent like his, many people will naturally be jealous of him, and he will also be targeted...
Back in the cowshed, Zhang Cundao slowly lay down on the hay. He suddenly asked: "How did you get the herbs you gave me to treat my injury?"
Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It was given by the deacon. The deacon thinks highly of you. I begged him to give you this herb. I just hope you can get well and pass this trial."
Her short words seemed a bit indifferent, but Zhang Cundao knew that behind this sentence was Xi's humiliation and fear. She may have paid a lot for this pair of herbs.
If he fails the trial, then he may die, and Xi will have to bear the tragic consequences.
He looked at Xi and suddenly smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Xi listened to his words, but she couldn't help crying. She choked and said: "Tao, I don't know why Dahei suddenly bumped into you, and why it suddenly went crazy... Tao, if you
If I die, what should I do..."
She started to cry. At this moment, she felt infinite grievance, sadness and fear.
Zhang Cundao patted her back gently, letting her slowly calm down. And his mind gradually started to spin.
If this is really the ancient times, is it still possible to practice at this time? He tried to practice the exercises, but no matter how he tried, he just couldn't complete the step of introducing Qi into the body. It was as if the spiritual energy between heaven and earth refused to use this
A way to get into his body.
He began to recall that in the ancient times when saints were not born, during this long, long history, there were almost no practitioners. All the ways were the ways of ghosts and gods. It was as if the version had not been updated to practice practice.
on the road.
At this time, all power was obtained from ghosts and gods. Ancient legends say that the world was as chaotic as a chicken egg. Suddenly, ancient ghosts and gods opened the sky, and the world was born.
Along with the birth of the world, there were three thousand primitive ancient ghosts and gods. These three thousand primitive ancient ghosts and gods represented the three thousand avenues of heaven and earth. The original world was controlled by these three thousand primitive ancient ghosts and gods.
As time goes by, some primitive ancient ghosts and gods have fallen, and the avenues they represent are either inherited by others, or they are broken down into smaller paths, giving birth to more ghosts and gods.
At this time, strength does not depend on practice, but on inheritance. Whoever can inherit the Tao of the original ancient ghosts and gods will be the new ghosts and gods. Even if they cannot inherit a complete Tao, they only need to inherit part of it to become a strong person.
Revered by everyone.
In this way, Zhang Cundao's only way out now is to understand the ancient ways of ghosts and gods. And if you want to understand the ancient ways of ghosts and gods, you must first join them.
But now, is his body qualified to receive the power of ghosts and gods?
Zhang Cundao thought for a long time and suddenly woke up Xi who was sleeping in his arms.
Xi looked at him sleepily, and he said to Xi: "Can you dance?"
Xi became even more confused after listening to his words...
——
The ancient way of ghosts and gods lies in witchcraft and sacrifice. Witch is the honorific title for those who inherit the way of ghosts and gods, and sacrifice is a way to obtain the power of ghosts and gods.
The cow-shaped stone outside is the simplest altar. Boys and girls who want to gain power can worship the stone, which is the simplest sacrifice. If the ghosts and gods respond, they will naturally gain power.
Whether this low-level sacrificial method can win the favor of ghosts and gods depends entirely on luck. But if you want to really attract the attention of ghosts and gods, you must have more sophisticated sacrificial activities.
There are many kinds of elaborate sacrificial activities, such as offering materials, singing and dancing.
Zhang Cundao has no conditions when it comes to offering supplies. But he can sing and dance. One of his wives, Nine-Tailed Fox, is a master of this art.
In a daze, Zhang Cundao began to teach Xi how to dance step by step. Xi was also talented, and after learning for half a night, he mastered the basic witch dance.
When it got dark, Zhang Cundao said to Xi: "At dawn, it is when all things come to life and it is also a good time to offer sacrifices. Let's dance together."
Xi was still a little confused, but she had been coaxed by Zhang Cundao. She nodded and started dancing with Zhang Cundao.
What they danced is still "Heaven and Earth Conquer Yin and Yang and the Great Compassion". Zhang Cundao only knows this song. But this song is suitable for the occasion. There are men and women, just forming yin and yang. Otherwise, this dance really can't be performed.
.
As Xi dances, Zhang Cundao also begins to lead. There is no music, no audience, no gorgeous costumes, and no exquisite stage. In this cowshed, accompanied by hay and cow dung, a witch dance officially begins!
This was a dance for the Ox God. Perhaps the elements at the scene were too complete, or maybe the nine-tailed fox's witch dance was too exciting. Their witch dance quickly attracted the attention of the Ox God.
A desolate and primitive atmosphere enveloped the cattle farm. This atmosphere stayed on Zhang Cundao and Xi for a while, and then they seemed to hear a voice of appreciation: "This dance is wonderful! You deserve to be rewarded!"
Hearing this response, Zhang Cundao felt happy and immediately responded: "I beg God to show mercy and take away my and her pain, fatigue, hardship, and weakness, so that we can dance for you more wholeheartedly."
Perhaps the Ox God was really happy by this dance, and he said generously at this time: "As you wish!"
A force came to Zhang Cundao and Xi. This force was no longer cruel, but like warm spring water, nourishing the bodies of Zhang Cundao and Xi.
Under the power of the Ox God, Zhang Cundao felt that his body was recovering rapidly. Everything he had done was worth it at this time!
