Chapter 384 'The Game of the Ancestral Gods' Holy Banquet
Once the main conflict was focused, Elegy, Sha Jin and Ayiguli fell into a brief silence.
"What reason does the Ancestral God have to interfere in the dispute between princes? He sets the rules, and all princes come here to inherit his power. I really can't think of his purpose of intervening in the dispute..."
Sha Jin spoke first, but he was expressing confusion.
Jiang Qian continued to focus on his real concern: "I have heard you mention the so-called power of the sacred mountain more than once. What does it specifically refer to?"
This question was given a specific answer when the nine-tailed fox Da Jiaojiao was interrogated at the Jinping Branch: a "Dragon" card composed of four snakes!
But this only fell into the words of Da Jiaojiao's family.
With the presence of two other sacred mountain saints and a holy envoy, Jiang Qian wanted to hear their answers and try to read the information gap.
Sure enough, when they heard this question, except for Ayiguli, Elegy and Sha Jin all showed cryptic expressions.
"When they invited you here, didn't they tell you what it means to be the Lord of the Holy Mountain?" Ayiguli said this to Jiang Qian while glancing at Sha Jin beside her.
As a sensitive person, Ayiguli was caught in the official siege and had no chance to fully convey to Jiang Qian the information she should convey to the crown prince as the Holy Lady of the Holy Mountain. In her opinion, these should be conveyed by the person in charge.
It's a pity that An Yelangjun and Sha Jin, who were responsible for the response at the time, were not clear enough about this. In the process of inducing Jiang Qian to accompany him, the element of forceful persuasion was far greater than convincing people with reason.
"The previous ones were all played by chance. Let's get over it. Resolving the current contradiction is the first priority." Jiang Qian said.
"Since Brother Jiang said so..."
Seeing Jiang Qian speak, Ayiguli calmed down her emotions, sighed softly, and said:
"The person who wins the battle for the crown prince will gain power beyond the original identity card and become the Lord of the Holy Mountain. All the human, material and financial resources of the Holy Mountain will be under the control of the Lord of the Holy Mountain. If his saint is lucky enough to survive this battle,
She can be succeeded as the next generation of Holy Mother, assisting the Lord of the Holy Mountain and co-managing the Holy Mountain Organization."
"What does it mean to transcend the power of the original identity card?" Jiang Qian continued to ask. He wanted to determine the connection between this description and the "Dragon" card, including the connection and difference between this "Dragon" and that "Dragon".
"It is a... powerful and strange force. Compared with the power of conventional identity cards, it has a different texture." Ayiguli frowned slightly.
“Difference in texture?”
"This... is hard to describe, an uncontrollable feeling."
"Have you ever harnessed the power of the sacred mountain?"
"I, actually we..." Ayiguli hesitated and looked at Sha Jin and Elegy.
Jiang Qian then also looked at Sha Jin and Elegy.
"The reason why we were able to join the Holy Mountain Organization is that at a certain moment, we more or less awakened the power of the Holy Mountain! The Holy Mother and the Guardian were able to recognize this power, and the Holy Mountain Organization was established."
Shajin added:
"Actually, I concealed one thing when I first met with you, and that is the side effect of this power. Almost every license holder who has used the power of the sacred mountain has endured the pain caused by the risk of mutation."
"Seriously, like me, Elegy, and Ayiguli, our energy structure has been distorted, so we have stopped at the four-state and complete body stage and cannot continue to evolve upward."
Speaking of this, Sha Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"But even so, I don't regret the deal with the Ancestral God! If I hadn't responded to the blessing of this power, I would have died long ago."
Jiang Qian looked at Sha Jin, but what he thought of was the boy who fell under the runaway hoe. It would be difficult to survive such a degree of injury without the protection of special powers.
At the same time, he also thought of the scene when Ayiguli was killed, and it seemed to have the same logic.
At this time, Elegy, who had been silent until now, also spoke: "Even if you don't respond, you still can't escape."
The three of them looked at Elegy.
"The first time I felt the call of the ancestors was on the day my family was destroyed. As a child, I was hidden under the bed by my parents. I watched more and more blood on the ground, and watched my relatives one after another.
I fell down and lost all hope of survival. I did not respond to the call of the ancestors. I just hoped that everything would end quickly. I wanted to die."
"But when I woke up again, I saw...all the enemies who killed my family had fallen bloody and bloody in front of me. My hands were covered in blood, blending into the pool of blood on the ground..."
When Elegy recounts this past, there is still a hint of choking in his voice that cannot be suppressed.
"Maybe you responded, but you didn't notice it yourself?" Ayiguli said.
"Maybe! But at that time, I was never taught that my compatriots could use such cruel methods. Killing and death were things that were beyond my understanding at that time."
"At least you avenged the whole family." Sha Jin said.
"So, even if there is no clear response to the call, the power of the sacred mountain will still awaken, right?" Jiang Qian tried to find the common key from the descriptions of the three people:
Crisis? Major changes? Taking advantage of the opportunity...
This can also explain the origin of these causal mirror images existing in the sacred mountain.
Elegy nodded: "Shortly after that, I came into contact with the super-species world and became a card holder."
The power of the sacred mountain can be awakened in potential card holders with certain characteristics. At the same time, this power is different from the power of regular identity cards.
The latter also reminded Jiang Qian of the "power of compatibility" he obtained in the "Children's Paradise" copy.
Speaking of which, the "power of compatibility" that can decode the problem of mutation is also a power that is different from or even surpasses the strength of his current identity card.
Now, Jiang Qian can probably figure out an idea and try to explain the key contradiction in this incident:
"In other words, the Ancestral Gods had already begun to establish contact with specific groups of people a long time ago; this group continued to expand and formed the Holy Mountain Organization; then, the key figures in this organization will carry out the inheritance of the power of the Holy Mountain, right?
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's right..." Sha Jin answered with some hesitation.
Ayiguli and Elegy also frowned slightly, seeming to notice some contradictions.
"You are also aware of the problem, right?"
Jiang Qian continued to point out the main point:
"Who was the person who first established contact with you and gave you strength? Who is the person who is obsessed with inheriting the power of the sacred mountain? Are the two the same?"
Ayiguli, Sha Jin, and Elegy were suddenly shocked after hearing this.
They have been influenced by the organization's beliefs for many years, and those thoughts have been deeply rooted in their hearts, so that they are not aware of the real deviation: the person who first established contact with them is the ancestor god, but the person who is obsessed with inheriting the power of the sacred mountain is the Holy Mother of the sacred mountain!
In the past, they only firmly believed that the Holy Mother was the manifestation of the will of the sacred mountain, and that the Holy Mother was the spokesperson of the ancestral god. No one doubted that the "contest for the crown prince" was the Holy Mother executing the will of the ancestral god, and no one doubted that the "rules of the ancestral god" were true.
Who sets the rules!
It was only then that the blind faith that existed in their hearts was finally realized.
"Is it... no, it's impossible..." Elegy fell into self-contradiction, as if he didn't dare to think deeply about this issue.
"For so many years, has the Holy Mother been executing her own will?" A numb smile appeared on the corner of Sha Jin's mouth, "Key Gu, Lock Gu... these operations sound like they are helping the prince control the powerful beast king. In fact, haha...
…”
Only Ayiguli’s eyes were firm, and there was even a hint of sullenness between her eyebrows!
"Hey, what are you two thinking? How can you doubt Our Lady's intentions based on just a small error? Have you forgotten how Our Lady treated us?"
"Ayiguli, now is not the time to talk about feelings..."
Sha Jin was about to step forward to reason, but Jiang Qian held his shoulders.
"She is right. It is just an error, pointing in a possible direction, but there is no evidence."
Jiang Qian looked at Ayiguli and Elegy who were in conflict:
"No matter what the purpose of Our Lady is in arranging this competition, at least we already know the attitude of the Ancestral God towards this competition. If this competition is the only way to pass on the power, then what is the way for the Ancestral God to stop us?"
These words seemed to remind Elegy. She opened her mouth and her eyes gradually focused.
"What did you think of?" Jiang Qian asked immediately.
"The way to stop you, besides killing you, is..."
"Seize the body?" Jiang Qian smiled.
Elegy looked at Jiang Qian in surprise, as if he was shocked that the other party could laugh so easily now.
"I have thought of this a long time ago. In addition to what he did to Shui Longyin, he had attacked me earlier, but failed. I have the trump card to restrain him from getting close to me for the time being."
Hearing what Jiang Qian said, Ayiguli also woke up from the emotion just now and asked: "The ancestor god took action against you? When?"
"When conquering Sand Gold, he appeared very suddenly, and then withdrew without hitting the target. The Shuilongyin team arrived shortly after."
Ayiguli was frightened after hearing this.
Elegy sighed secretly: "Maybe His target is you, and Shui Longyin did it unintentionally."
"That's not necessarily true. When he stabbed me in the back, he didn't seem to intend to leave my whole body." Jiang Qian said bluntly, "I'm afraid he cares more about this than me."
As he spoke, Jiang Qian spread his hands.
His hands were empty.
"Magician's gloves?"
Jiang Qian smiled: "Yes, the Ancestral God seems to have an unspeakable fear of the Holy Mother's Key Gu and Lock Gu."
"So that's it!" Sha Jin suddenly realized, "The Ancestor God wants to use your magician's gloves to remove the poison and then liquidate it, so that he can reap the benefits! Unfortunately, He is still too impatient, otherwise he should wait until he turns into a snake.
We can do this only after the fusion of Wei Tong's identity card is completed."
Jiang Qian shook his head: "When I proposed to use the purple gold gourd to witness the contract, he should have realized that he was exposed, so he had to take action against me later. Otherwise, even if he pretended to the last moment, it would be difficult to avoid the situation of both jade and stone. My body
He can't control it, Shui Longyin's body will be taken away by the purple gold gourd, and the treacherous child is an uncertain factor, and it is likely to be destroyed in the chaos... Without the walking dead available, what is the meaning of all his operations?
"
"Unless the Ancestral God can achieve his goals without the need for a walking corpse, then it is difficult to explain his enthusiasm for taking the poison. And according to my observation, the Ancestral God's power should be limited here. If he can't hit with a single blow, he will escape immediately...
...This style of work does not seem to be the work of a 'god'."
As the three of them listened to Jiang Qian's detailed analysis, their ideas gradually became clearer. Most importantly, they regained their confidence to break through the deadlock.
"If the Ancestral God is in a restricted state, it means that our current survival is not an accident, there is still a chance!"
While sighing secretly, Elegy looked at Jiang Qian expectantly:
"You are worthy of being a genius who has allowed lawful officials to maintain everything. He can still be so calm and calm in such an unconventional situation. I am convinced. What do you want us to do next? You tell me."
"Hey, you are very proactive, little Elegy."
Ayiguli hugged Elegy's waist and cast a glance at Jiang Qian: "I will listen to you~"
Not to be outdone, Sha Jin immediately expressed his stance: "No matter who the opponent is, since I have played your second chess piece, I will follow you to the end."
"Well, in that case, would you please accompany me to the Hongmen Banquet."
After Jiang Qian said that, a dark green, reddish brown, and ice blue light and shadow burst out from his body. The dazzling luster briefly swam in everyone's sight, and suddenly materialized after landing - waving giant wings.
The Snake Beast King opened his mouth wide and breathed deeply towards the four of them!
Its magnitude and arrogance have clearly surpassed those before! In an instant, it condensed an irresistible deterrent force.
Then, this domineering beast king slowly straightened his head and face and crawled towards Jiang Qian's position, like a warrior waiting for the king's decree.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "When..."
Sha Jin couldn't help but recall Tang Snake's attitude towards Jiang Qian in the Mimic Hourglass, and was deeply shocked.
This series of drastic changes, the shock and amazement so close at hand, exploded in the souls of Sha Jin, Ayiguli and Elegy, making them tremble for a long time.
"Let's go to the legendary holy feast!"
Jiang Qian smiled slightly and jumped on the snake's back first.
The place that can only be reached with the guidance of the four beasts of the Holy Mountain, the ultimate battlefield of the battle for the crown prince of the Holy Mountain, the Holy Banquet Platform, is the direction Jiang Qian is about to go.
After the three of them woke up from the shock and jumped on the back of the snake one after another, Jiang Qian confessed what happened during the battle between the two beast kings:
"I have integrated Shuilongyin's "Singing Snake" identity card, which combines "Teng Snake" and "Hooked Snake", a total of three absolutely 'clean' cards. If I can get in touch with the snake-turned-weird boy before the Ancestral God,
, our mission is half accomplished.”
He didn't go into details about the process, and there was no need to go into details. He just clearly gave a reassuring result.
On the basis of this result, the task of "contacting" the snake seems to be less difficult.
The other half of the so-called task is naturally to deal with the most unstable factor in the overall situation, the additional opponent-the ancestor god.
Immediately, the gigantic beast spread its wings and soared into the sky!
Jiang Qian's figure rustled in the strong wind, and against the backdrop of the deep and sharp mountain shadows, he looked even more steady and reliable.
The snake raised its head and rose into the sky, hovering in the clouds for a while, then suddenly tightened its wings, its head slowly downwards, and suddenly plunged into the abyss from the clouds!
"pay close attention!"
While reminding the three of them, Jiang Qian noticed that the position where Tan Snake swooped down happened to be the cliff mountain abyss that Linyuan Village was leaning on previously.
The familiar scenery was instantly blocked by the cliff, and the light suddenly decreased. In the dark place where the group looked, only the muscle movement of the giant beast beneath them brought the most realistic and exciting physical sensation.
With his spiritual vision turned on, the corners of Jiang Qian's mouth raised slightly.
It turns out that the bottom of the mountain abyss is not the bottom of the valley, but there are secret passages connected horizontally.
The direction in which the Snake Beast King is currently flying coincides with the center of the map left by his father.
