Different from the undercurrents surging among the great clans in Middle-earth, thousands of miles away in Southern Xinjiang, after the catastrophe of beasts and monsters, people of all ethnic groups silently rebuilt their homes. Although this is the place that suffered the most, the world is so vast.
It seems that no one remembers this place. Anyway, the wasteland of the southern border is not in the eyes of the wealthy people in the Middle Kingdom.
In Qilidong, where the Jin people live, the scars caused by the monsters can still be seen everywhere, but many brand-new houses have been built on the ruins. On the mountainside of Qilidong, the mysterious
At the entrance of the altar, there are still many sacrifices coming and going. At this time when everything is waiting to be done, the protection of the ancestors is particularly important to the Jin people.
The golden people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and the days just pass by like this. As the sun sets in the west and night falls, many golden people return to their homes one after another and relax.
After dinner, my tired body gradually fell asleep under the starlight.
In the dead of night, a white figure appeared in Qili Cave, like a faint light in the darkness, rising and falling in the quiet valley, and quietly approaching the foot of the altar on the back mountain.
There were still two Jin soldiers guarding the entrance to the mountain. The night wind suddenly blew over, and they felt that a white light as fast as lightning flashed past their eyes, and a faint fragrance was like flowers blooming gently at night.
I couldn't help but feel dazed for a while.
After a while, they regained consciousness. The trance just now was so short that both of them thought it was just an occasional nap after being tired. After scolding themselves a few times in their hearts, the two golden men cheered up and started again.
Carefully guarding the sacred place of his people.
Behind them, a slim white figure like a ghost slowly seeped out from the darkness and appeared on the platform at the entrance of the altar. Dressed in white, she was infinitely charming, and the stars in the sky seemed to be attracted to her.
But who is he if he is not Xiaobai?
She looked around a few times, and then looked into the dark cave. Although it was still pitch black, Xiaobai's eyes moved slowly, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Then she seemed to feel something, and shook her head silently.
He shook his head and sighed softly.
The defense here was much worse than she expected. It was nothing like when she and Gui Li came here to see the great wizard. Not to mention the thick soldiers at the foot of the mountain, there should have been many bodies in this altar.
The priests and guardians who bear witchcraft are the ones who are so undefended as before. It seems that the disaster of the beast monster is really a heavy loss for the Jin clan.
In fact, it's not just the Jin clan in front of us. Looking at the world, countless innocent people have been destroyed and displaced because of that beast god. It's really hard to tell the right and wrong of this.
Xiao Bai shook his head slightly and stopped thinking. He raised his body and turned into a white shimmer, heading straight into the cave. Most of the cave was still the same as before, and the path had not changed. Some distance away, the stone wall
There was a torch on top, and it was still the same as before. However, Xiaobai noticed that there were very few people in the caves near and far. Even if there were a few people, their breathing was slow and steady. They must have fallen asleep.
.
Xiaobai didn't bother to pay attention, and flew silently through the cave according to the path in her memory. With her thousands of years of Taoism, not to mention these low-skilled Jin tribe priests, or even a Taoist with profound cultivation, it may not be possible.
She could be detected. After a while, she came outside the spacious cave that was once the great wizard's living room.
At this point, Xiaobai stopped, frowned slightly, and looked into the cave. Although it was far away, she could already feel that there was another person inside, and this person seemed to be the same as the other person she had just felt.
Not the same, at least he wasn't sleeping.
In the cave, the pile of blazing flames was still emitting bright light. In the shadow of the light, the stone statue of the dog god was looming in the light and shadow. Xiaobai's eyes stared at the dog's head on the statue.
After a moment, he took it back and landed in front of the fire.
A young figure was sitting in front of the fire, with his back to the entrance of the cave. Xiaobai couldn't see his face clearly, but he could only roughly tell that he was a young man. He could be seen facing the blazing flames, and from time to time in front of him.
Xu drew mysterious and strange patterns one after another, and at the same time recited something in Jin clan in a low and pious voice.
Xiaobai came quietly behind the man. The firelight gradually shone on her body and drew a long shadow behind her. She listened to the young man's low singing voice.
The voice echoed in this ancient cave, seeming to be telling something.
The low echo seems to be endless. Looking from the side, the young Jin clan priest has a pious face, and he has probably completely integrated into the illusory world.
A trace of confusion gradually appeared on Xiaobai's face, and then he sighed softly. This strange sound immediately alarmed the young Jin clan priest. He was shocked and wanted to turn around to check what happened, but before he could move,
, a delicate and white palm flashed before his eyes, then landed on his forehead and patted it gently.
The young Jin tribe priest suddenly rolled his eyes, trembled a few times, lost consciousness in a moment, and fell to the ground beside him.
The mysterious chanting sound in the cave, as well as the echo, quietly calmed down. Xiaobai looked at the young face, suddenly smiled, and whispered: "Is there a dog god, and can the dog god know it?"
I don’t know that I will protect your people, but with someone as pious and steadfast as you, I think the great wizard can rest assured."
After saying that, she shook her head slightly, bypassed the body of the young priest and the fire, and walked straight towards the statue of the Dog God. For a long time, the Jin people believed in the Dog God, believing that the Dog God gave them new life and protected them.
As the clan continued to multiply, even the priests in the cave would not dare to approach the statue.
At this moment, Xiaobai stood in front of this dog god statue carved from black stone.
The whole body of the statue is carved from black stone, a specialty of southern Xinjiang. It is black and shiny, with a faint silvery light emanating from it. Xiaobai knows a lot about southern Xinjiang, so he naturally knows that this is not the dog god that many Jin people believe in.
A miracle, but an extremely rare variant among the black stones, which contains shimmering silver shavings to create this mysterious and beautiful shimmer.
However, the purpose of her trip was naturally not to see the statue of the Jin tribe's dog god. After a moment, her attention was focused on the dog's head. This statue was passed down from an unknown age, and it was skillfully carved, lifelike and detailed.
, there is no ambiguity at all. If the stone material in front of you were not obvious, you would almost think it was a black dog with its mouth slightly open.
The most conspicuous thing on the head of the dog god statue is a pair of eyes. Judging from the material, they seem to be black stones, but the two black stones inlaid in the eye sockets are very different from the surrounding ones. They appear more pure, deep and distant.
The blazing light of the fire reflected in the eyes of the statue, as if there was a god in a trance, staring at Xiaobai silently.
Xiaobai's heart suddenly shook, and she took a step back. The pressure all over her body suddenly relaxed, and her mind immediately came to her senses. She frowned slightly, looked at the statue again, snorted, and said: "How can someone confuse people's minds like this?"
"Restriction," she then thought thoughtfully and pondered for a moment, still a little confused, and said softly, "But this is clearly a Taoist law from the Middle Earth, how could it appear here?"
She thought for a moment in silence, then shook her head, throwing away this boring thought. For her at this moment, this was naturally not what she wanted to explore. She looked at the statue again, and finally her eyes fell on it.
She seemed to hesitate for a moment when looking at the lifelike eyes on the statue, then reached out her hand and pressed lightly on those pure and deep black eyes.
In the ancient cave, a dull roar suddenly sounded. The sound was not loud, but it seemed to make the spacious cave tremble. The ancient dog god statue was right in front of Xiaobai, amidst the low roar.
, slowly descended and sank into the ground, until most of the body was covered, and only the head of the statue remained above the ground.
Behind the statue, a smooth stone wall appeared. Different from the surrounding stone walls, it seemed to be covered with a layer of light black air, making it difficult to see clearly. However, this was no longer difficult for Xiaobai, and a faint hint of light appeared at the corner of her mouth.
With a smile on her face, she stepped forward, waved her sleeves, and a gust of breeze swept from the bottom of her hand, sweeping over the stone wall, and immediately blew away the black air.
A little golden light suddenly appeared on the stone wall. After a moment, another little golden light was seen. Like a miracle that suddenly descended on this earthly world, they appeared like springs on the stone wall, forming scenes of magical pictures and scenes.
The words, and even the face of Xiao Bai, who was standing not far away, was refracted by the golden light and turned slightly white. She stared at the mysterious pictures and texts that appeared in front of her one after another, with a halo flowing, and her eyes moved as she read line by line. In front of her,
, which is the last secret of the ancient witch clan that has been passed down for countless years. Her eyes jumped, sometimes solidified, sometimes joyful, and finally, she saw the unruly and huge fire dragon pattern roaring towards the sky.
Xiaobai took a deep breath, a smile appeared on her lips, and then she confirmed it again, then closed her eyes slightly, as if silently memorizing, keeping these pictures and texts in her heart.
When she opened her eyes again, her watery eyes swept across the stone wall, and she said to herself: "I didn't expect those guys to still have this hand. Did they know that the Witch Clan was going to be destroyed?"
As she said that, she smiled faintly, as if she was too lazy to pay attention to the troubles of the ancients who didn't know how many years ago. When she turned around, she suddenly frowned and her eyes suddenly focused, but she fell on the end of the glittering picture and text.
.Under the pattern of the huge and wild fire dragon, there seems to be a small piece of black energy that is different from the surroundings and is still attached to the stone wall.
Xiaobai was slightly surprised and pondered for a moment, but after all, he still didn't want to let it go easily. Just as he was about to check, something suddenly moved in her heart. Huo Di suddenly turned around, his eyes instantly turned cold and he looked at her coldly.
The huge cave was empty, except for the crackling sound of firewood coming from the burning fire from time to time. Except for the young priest who fell on the ground and was still unconscious, there was no one.
Xiaobai's eyes drifted over the young priest, and then she carefully looked around the cave. After making sure there was nothing unusual, she frowned slightly and turned around slowly.
Could it be that he has been in this alien and strange place for too long and has become a little suspicious?
Xiaobai shook his head, smiled bitterly, and calmed down. Then he raised his hand, and the breeze blew out, but the force was stronger than before. After a while, the remaining black air finally dispersed.
On the stone wall, there are indeed several lines of text.
Xiaobai perked up and looked carefully. After a moment, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face, and she blurted out: "It turns out that the art of summoning souls is here..."
But as her eyes moved, the joy gradually faded away, and was replaced by a heavy and confused expression. Finally, after reading the entire text, she slowly took a step back, as if she was spiritual, the little black air suddenly
They gathered around and covered up the mysterious lines of writing.
Xiao Bai lowered his head slightly and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he sighed softly and said softly: "So it turns out that the ancient witch clan is so destroyed. This... but what should I do? Should I put these things away?"
Tell him?"
She seemed to suddenly encounter great confusion in her heart, and she hesitated for a moment.
The black air blown away by the wind slowly condensed again, and the text pattern that originally emitted brilliant golden light was slowly covered up again. Xiaobai slowly turned around, and the low roar behind her sounded again, and the dog god statue rose back
It moved to its original position, covering up the secret.
In the ancient cave, everything returned to calm. Xiaobai's figure slowly walked out. She walked very slowly and looked worried, but after a while, her figure finally disappeared into the cave.
Silence came here again. I don't know how long it took. The ancient dog god statue silently stared at everything in the cave. The light reflected in its eyes looked so deep.
Suddenly, the body that had been lying on the ground moved. The young Jin clan priest climbed up carefully and looked towards the entrance of the cave. There was silence and no movement there. It was obvious that the mysterious woman in white had left.
He then breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body slowly relaxed. He smiled bitterly and whispered: "It's so dangerous. If it weren't for my clan's autistic magic, all six senses would be destroyed. I really couldn't hide it from her."
go……"
Then, his eyes suddenly became hot, and he turned around suddenly, looking towards the statue of the dog god.
Among the Jin people, they have always been in awe of the gods, especially for this statue that has been enshrined since ancient times. This young man has rarely been exposed to this statue since he was a child, and he has rarely looked at it directly, because in
It is also disrespectful to the clan rules.
But at this moment, his eyes were filled with blazing flames, and his body seemed to be getting hot. He stared at the statue, and the eyes of the statue seemed to be staring at him.
Immediately afterwards, it seemed that a huge invisible force suddenly and secretly drove behind him. The young priest gritted his teeth and walked towards the statue step by step. The eyes of the ancient statue reflected the figure that was getting closer and closer.
There seemed to be a hint of sadness too.
Finally, he walked in front of the statue, and slowly raised his trembling hands, pausing again and again in mid-air, but finally stretched them out. The look on his face seemed to be one of pain and struggle, but it was more like being held by a hand.
Roasted and tormented by the flames!
But those hands, after all, were not taken back, and they were focused on the eyes of the statue.
Instantly, the low roaring sound sounded again, and the whole cave began to tremble slightly. The statue slowly sank into the ground again, and the mysterious stone wall was right in front of you.
The young priest's eyes exuded fanatical flames. He couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward. He waved his hands and suddenly the black energy was scattered everywhere. The golden light slowly emerged again, reflecting his face.
Shine.
Ancient text patterns, which seemed to have a puzzling meaning, appeared before his eyes one by one. The expression on his face was like drinking wine, showing indescribable ecstasy and satisfaction, and even his hands were trembling.
He gently touched the pictures and texts on the mysterious stone wall with his trembling hands, and recited something in a low voice, with great joy. He seemed to be able to see through each and every text and pattern. He was so absorbed in it that he forgot everything with joy.
He even completely forgot and didn't notice that at the bottom of this picture and text, almost integrated with the surrounding darkness, there was a small piece of black air that persisted.
The golden words and brilliant patterns seemed to have completely occupied his mind. Beside him, the statue of the dog god with only its head still above the ground still looked so deep in its eyes. It was just at this moment.
At this moment, under the flames and the brilliant golden light on the stone wall, the figure of the young priest was reflected in its eyes. In addition to the initial trace of deep sadness, it seemed that there was also a deep sadness! (To be continued)
