Chapter Eighteen: The Prince Sacrificial to the Heaven
The top of Taibai Peak.
Hundreds of sky lanterns lit up at the four corners of the square. The dazzling lights penetrated the white clouds that had been standing on the top of Taibai Peak for thousands of years. The top of the mountain was reflected extremely brightly. Looking at Taibai Peak from a distance, it seemed as if a huge lantern was lit in the endless clouds and mist.
Searchlight. The huge statue of Ancient God Xiaotian stands on the top of Taibai Peak. It has been glaring at this living creature for hundreds of years. The statue has a playful expression, it is unclear whether it is compassion or ridicule. In front of Ancient God Xiaotian stands a long-haired statue.
There is a two-foot-long white jade table with various exquisite utensils, including brightly colored mountain fruits and yellow jade.
The monks from Sitian Pavilion were arranged on both sides of Jiang Baichuan according to different levels, while the monks from the Tianqiong Sect stood far behind the monks from Sitian Pavilion. A golden-armored monk released a unicorn from his spirit-nurturing bag.
White rhinoceros, this rhinoceros is one foot long and eight feet tall. It has a strong body, rough skin and thick flesh. It can be as cute as a little white rabbit in the hands of the golden-armored monk.
The golden-armored monk pulled out a golden-backed machete and aimed it at the back of the rhino's neck. A stream of blood arrows spurted out, and the dripping blood flowed on the green stone slabs, along the gap between the two stone slabs.
Through the cracks and deep into the earth, the shrill cry of the white rhinoceros resounded through Taibai Peak. The golden-armored monk quickly dismembered the white rhinoceros with a machete. The head was placed in a container in the center of the case, and the limbs were placed on both sides.
All the monks from the Tianqiong Sect lowered their heads and silently sang a song with a distant and desolate melody. It was the first time for Chen Yunsheng to participate in such a ceremony, and he was full of curiosity about everything. Listening to this song from ancient times, he couldn't help but be fascinated.
The image of Ancient God Xiaotian wielding a huge long sword appeared in his mind, cutting off the wormhole between heaven and earth, and saving a living being.
In front of the table is a huge incense burner, with a thick layer of incense ash deposited inside. Due to the constant evaporation of fireworks, the original color of the incense burner can no longer be seen, leaving only a dark layer of smoke stains.
Jiang Baichuan took three fingers of incense from the chamberlain, lit it with a special tinder, and a wisp of green smoke rose up. He bowed gracefully three times in front of the statue of the ancient god Xiaotian, and muttered something:
"In the Cold Stone Era,
Renchen Xixi,
The top of Taibai Peak,
Pay homage to the great god.
Great, Xiaotian,
Zhaoqi Hongmeng,
Cultivating virtue and strengthening martial arts,
Shao Deyixing.
Only strength is devotion,
Only virtue is the right thing to do.
Yide Renxun,
Praise from generation to generation..."
The first half of this sacrificial text is to praise the achievements of the ancient god Xiaotian, and the second half is to pray for the peace and prosperity of Xiliang. The words are precise and deafening. Although Jiang Baichuan's voice is not rich enough, it still has a heavy and desolate feeling. The monks present are all solemn.
Standing there, abandoning all distracting thoughts in their hearts, at this moment, it seems that everyone has abandoned hatred and returned to innocence, but what they want in their hearts is completely different. I don't know how the illusory Xiaotian ancients should judge the visions in the hearts of both parties.
In one meal, Jiang Baichuan finished reciting the 5,000-word memorial text. There was a look of slackness on his face. It was obvious that he had spent a lot of energy in reciting just now. Gu Siqin stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Highness, you have worked hard.
The heaven-sacrifice ceremony has been completed, please go this way."
He led Jiang Baichuan and his party down Taibai Peak through the moving formation, and several low-level monks from the Tianqiong Sect quickly removed the sacrificial vessels and items.
Gu Siqin originally arranged a banquet to entertain Jiang Baichuan, but unexpectedly he refused to stay alive and left in a hurry with the monks from Sitian Pavilion. Zhuge Jingyu said next to Chen Yunsheng: "It seems that this prince can't help himself. This trip
I’m afraid Taibai Peak was not his original intention.”
Chen Yunsheng nodded and said: "This prince has a good nature, but due to the current situation, he is a little afraid of our Tianqiong Sect. From this point, we can also see that Sitian Pavilion is very clever.
I’m afraid we will take action against the Tianqiong Sect in the near future.”
…
Gu Siqin let out a sigh of relief. He knew that after today, Sitian Pavilion might take action at any time. He did not wait for everyone to disperse, and immediately summoned dozens of monks from Xantianyuan, divided them into several groups, and paid close attention to them.
Trends within five hundred miles around Taibai Peak. After all this, he seemed unwilling to give up and asked a monk to go to the Internal Affairs Hall to find Chen Yunsheng.
Chen Yunsheng hurried to Ziyun Pavilion and saw Gu Siqin explaining things to several older monks. He stood aside silently with his head bowed. After a while, Gu Siqin dismissed the people and said seriously: "
Yunsheng is here just in time, I have something to ask you. Have you noticed any strange behavior in Huang Can in recent days?"
Chen Yunsheng shook his head and said: "According to my observation, Huang Can leaves early every day and comes home late every day, and is busy in the internal affairs hall all day long. It doesn't seem like he has any selfish motives."
Gu Siqin nodded and said: "It's better if you don't. You must be wondering why senior brother asked you to monitor him. In fact, senior brother has no other intention. It's just that in the face of a powerful enemy, everything needs to be done with caution. The head of the Internal Affairs Hall is in charge of the lifeblood of Tianqiong Sect. Once there is
If it is lost, we will just sit back and wait for death. Without the spiritual stones and resources, what can we do to fight with others."
He took out a note from his storage ring and handed it to Chen Yunsheng.
Taking it in his hand, Chen Yunsheng took a look. It turned out to be a map of the Tianqiong Mountains, with several locations marked in circles. He looked at Gu Siqin in confusion.
Just listen to Gu Siqin say: "This is a distribution map of the Lingshi mineral veins in the Tianqiong Mountains. The locations marked on it are the locations of several Lingshi mining sites of the Tianqiong Sect. The war is imminent, and the sect is unable to divide its troops to guard these veins, and is preparing to garrison them.
Recruit all the monks in these mineral veins. Many of these monks are still in the refining stage, and there are many ordinary helpers and coolies mixed in with them. I want to send you to these mineral veins to send away the mortals, and bring back all the mineral veins this month.
The spirit stone produced. This task is not easy. Do you know that after today, you may encounter the monks of Sitian Pavilion in the Tianqiong Mountains at any time. I'm afraid it will be a murderous fight."
Chen Yunsheng cupped his hands and said: "Senior brother, I have not given up my instructions. Yunsheng is naturally willing to fight to the end. Please rest assured, senior brother, I will set off right away. I wonder if I can bring a few monks with me?"
Gu Siqin smiled and said: "Of course, even if you don't tell me, I will assign a few capable monks to you. The output of these mines in a month is not small, and during this period, they have been working day and night, and the output is even greater.
It's quite rich. Tell me, which assistants do you want? Do you want me to send you some of Jian'er's capable men?"
Chen Yunsheng smiled bitterly in his heart. Although the monks of Xuntianyuan were all of high quality, Gu Jian's subordinates were all above their heads. How could I, a small foundation-building monk, be able to command him? He replied: "As long as Zhuge
Just Jingyu and Senior Brother Ye’s two disciples.”
Gu Siqin frowned and said: "Junior Brother Chen, please don't make too big a deal out of it. This matter is not trivial. Even if you don't think about your own safety, you still have to think about the numerous spiritual stones. In this way, I asked Junior Brother Jiang's disciple Feng, who had just formed an elixir recently, to
Angelica will accompany you. Among the Foundation Establishment disciples, I think that girl Jiang Xueqin is a talent, so I will assign her to you. Each of the thirty or so golden elixir monks in Tianqiong Sect has something to do, except for them, you can transfer her again
Get three or five foundation-building monks."
When he heard Feng Danggui's name, Chen Yunsheng was stunned. Could this monk be the one who won both matches in the Tianqiong Festival? Back then, he was at the pinnacle of foundation building, and now he has achieved the golden elixir. The Tianqiong Sect is really full of talents, and the new generation
The monks have also grown up, and I believe that before long, these people will be able to stand alone.
Chen Yunsheng shook his head and said: "These two people are enough. Yunsheng will do his work this time as quietly as possible. If there are more people, it will be easier for others to notice and expose the target."
Gu Siqin nodded and said nothing more. Chen Yunsheng said goodbye and left. He first returned to Tianxing Pavilion and told Zhuge Jingyu about the matter. When he heard that there was an errand to be sent abroad, Zhuge Jingyu immediately became alert and took the
The map began to study the distribution locations of several spirit stone veins, and what order should be used to take the shortest path. At this time, other members of the Yunying team also came to Tianxing Pavilion, and Chen Yunsheng told them the mission they had just received.
.
Jin Ling's expression was exactly the same as Zhuge Jingyu's, while He Wangchuan and Fang Minglan were much more restrained, but a hint of excitement could be seen on their faces. As for Xue Li and Ye Sihan, Chen Yunsheng made it clear that he would not take them with him.
Now he had stirred a hornet's nest, and he finally saw the horror of Ye Sihan. The little girl lay on the ground groaning and rolling around with her head in her arms, making her moon-white satin double-breasted coat dirty and stained her hair.
It was full of dust. It also released a few ice crystals from time to time, making everyone afraid to get close.
Xue Li also had an angry look on his face. He walked to the mountain wall next to Tianxing Pavilion alone, raised his fist, and smashed it randomly. Now it became lively. The Tianxing Pavilion was originally a beautiful place surrounded by green pines and cypresses.
In an instant, it was filled with smoke and debris flying everywhere. Zhuge Jingyu whispered: "Uncle, I don't think this is the solution. Based on my understanding of the two of them, even if they agree not to go together now, until they actually set off
When I leave, they will quietly follow behind."
He Wangchuan nodded in agreement. Last time he saw the ability of two little kids to follow.
Chen Yunsheng was helpless and said to Ye Sihan, who was rolling on the ground: "Okay, I'll take you two out. But the ugly words are ahead. You must obey the arrangements along the way. If you violate it, I will definitely not take you out next time."
Ye Sihan immediately jumped up from the ground, with crystal tears still hanging on her long eyelashes. She ran out with a smile and informed Xue Li of the good news. After a while, there was a loud sound like drums hitting the wall outside.
After a while, Xue Li ran into the house with excitement on his face, followed by Ye Sihan. This girl was quite capable. Her clothes and hair, which were still covered in dust a moment ago, became as smooth and clean as new, which amazed Chen Yunsheng.
At this moment, there were footsteps in the courtyard, and a gentle spiritual energy was heard. Chen Yunsheng opened the door and saw two monks, a man and a woman, walking into the courtyard.
