This altar was not built by the Insects. It has a distinct Southern Continent style. The Insects' style is biased towards Nanyang and the Central Plains. Overall, it is deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture.
Qi Xuansu walked up to the altar and found that there was a black sun above the altar. He felt that it was unexpected but also reasonable.
He really guessed it right, Paititi was indeed related to the Tide of Shadows.
Qi Xuansu took out the key he got from Ramon and held it high.
There is no response from the altar.
It seems that this key is not used here.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to put away the key and began to study what this altar was for.
At this time, Wu Niang had already burned those human figurines.
As for the large number of corpses piled up outside, Wu Niang did not move. When the number of corpses reaches a certain level, a "momentum" will be formed, just like when the number of living people reaches a certain level, their blood will rise to the sky, and the army's camp will be the ghosts and gods.
.It’s just that the dead person condenses Yin Qi, not blood Qi.
However, Yin Qi should not be underestimated. Back then, the Yin Qi in the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven was too strong, corroding a gap leading to the underworld. This is why the Taoist Sect spent more than two hundred years dealing with the problem of the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven, and again
When planting emperor willow, three major yin objects are used to clean up the corpse. .??.
Although this place is not comparable to the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven, if Wuniang wants to burn it by force, it will inevitably consume a huge amount of money. It is true that Wuniang likes to burn things, but in Wuniang's view, these corpses that have become "potential" are obviously incombustible.
Burning corpses is the same as burning mountains and boiling seas. It's a waste of effort. It's better to stay here.
Qi Xuansu quickly discovered some of the mysteries of this altar. There were blood grooves carved on its surface. These blood grooves were crisscrossed and formed something similar to talismans or runes. It should be that after injecting blood into these blood grooves, the blood grooves could be used.
its startup.
For such a large altar, with blood tanks all over the altar, you can imagine how much blood is needed. Even if the blood of a living person is drained, it will not be able to fill a blood tank, and it will only take a lot of people.
However, it does not need to be as many as ten thousand people. The corpses outside should not have died from sacrifices. The ancient gods are not afraid of overstretching the blood sacrifice of more than ten thousand people, but are afraid that the fire of karma will burn the kingdom of God.
A warrior can derive from flesh and blood, so Qi Xuansu certainly has enough Qi and blood, but Qi and blood are also the support of a warrior's combat power and require a lot of food to replenish. Qi Xuansu cannot drain his own blood, so in the end Qi Xuansu decided to use divine power instead of blood.
Otherwise speaking, divine power is hard currency, and its plasticity determines that it can be transformed into almost any form and used for various purposes.
After Qi Xuansu injected divine power, the entire altar lit up, and the blood grooves were filled with the light of divine power and turned into lines of talismans.
, Westerners call these runes. No matter what they are called, they are essentially the same. Then each rune is arranged and combined to form an array.
In an instant, the entire underground space began to rumble, as if there was an earthquake.
The dead corpses outside also came to life at this moment, as if hibernating snakes and insects were awakened by spring thunder and staggered up. Of course, it was not a real resurrection from the dead, but rather like corpses. Then these living corpses came to life one by one.
They rushed towards the altar.
At this time, Wu Niang had no choice but to burn it. When she opened her mouth and spat out, the flames swept across and directly burned the living corpses that rushed in first to ashes.
That's not all, Wu Niang puffed up her mouth, and the flames spit out from her mouth continued, turning into a wave of flames, and actually pushed back outward against the tide of corpses.
Some people have read too many words and think that 10,000 people are a small number when there are millions of troops. This is a big fallacy. It is said that if there are more than 10,000 people, it is boundless. If more than 10,000 people form a square formation, it will feel like you can't see the end at a glance.
.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, stretching all over the world, is basically the limit of a battlefield. A large battle can certainly accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops, or even millions of troops, but a battle consists of multiple battlefields, large and small.
Formation, some defend the city, some attack the city, some rescue, some block, and the reserve team is stationary and scattered everywhere, instead of millions of people gathered in one place, which can't even expand the formation.
.
In this cave, tens of thousands of corpses have piled up, and now they have turned into a tide of corpses. They were originally piled up, layer upon layer, but now they have come to life, basically filling the cave. Looking around, they are everywhere.
Living corpse.
This scene is very terrifying. If you have a "superior perspective", you will see that there are basically two tides colliding, one is a tide of flames, and the other is a tide of corpses.
If they were ordinary corpses, no matter how many there were, they would still be burned through by Wuniang's fire, but these living corpses had become a "power", brewing a large amount of Yin Qi, which could greatly weaken the power of the flames. This is what Qi Xuansu discovered when he came in.
These corpses have no cause of decay and are protected by Yin Qi. It is difficult for Wuniang to break through all at once and can only be burned slowly. For Wuniang, it is not difficult, but it is time-consuming and energy-consuming, just like burning some moist things with fire.
Leaves cannot be ignited. They cannot be used as fuel by themselves and can only be burned with other fuels.
This is the same as the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven. After the Yin Qi reaches a certain level, many methods will no longer work. We can only start by weakening the Yin Qi, and weakening the Yin Qi mainly relies on the Yang Qi of the human world itself. As long as the Yin Qi is blocked
The source of Qi, Yang Qi itself can interact with Yin Qi
Offset, if the speed is not fast enough, it can also be diverted and divided into yin, similar to flood discharge.
Using Emperor Willow to block the gaps in the underworld and cleaning the corpse at the same time blocks the source of Yin energy, rather than destroying Yin energy. Eliminating Yin energy relies on Yang energy, similar to how many diseases are mostly cured by themselves.
Of course, Yin Qi cannot be formed in a day. First, it requires a large number of dead people. Secondly, it takes a certain amount of time. Then, it needs a closed environment to prevent Yin Qi from leaking. In this way, a large amount of Yin Qi can be accumulated. This cave is just right.
To meet the conditions.
Now it seems that the Yin Qi here may have formed a balance, so these dead bodies were suppressed, like a pool of stagnant water. When Qi Xuansu opened the altar, causing the Yin Qi to become unbalanced, these suppressed corpses were resurrected.
Qi Xuansu paid no attention to Wuniang's side, and focused all his attention on the altar.
After injecting divine power, the altar underwent great changes. The black sun slowly disappeared and was replaced by a golden sun.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but it just corresponds to the changes in the cave at this time. It seems that the dark corpse tide of the black sun is retreating steadily, and it seems that the flame tide of the golden sun is advancing in full swing.
With the appearance of the golden sun, a portal slowly opened on the stone wall behind the altar. Previously, Qi Xuansu also swept the area with his spiritual thoughts. I don't know whether it was the interference of the surrounding Yin Qi or the obstruction of the altar, but he did not find this door.
The existence of a portal.
Qi Xuansu said hello to Wu Niang and walked into the door first.
Behind the portal is a passage, which has obvious artificial traces, is very regular, and goes all the way upward. When Qi Xuansu walked out of the passage, his eyes suddenly opened up, and he returned to the valley.
However, compared with the other side, some traces of masonry paving can be seen on the ground here, and there are even some traces similar to curb stones on both sides. However, the surrounding rainforest covers the sky, and it is absolutely impossible to find these traces from above.
.
This should be one of the many roads leading to Paititi. In other words, from Paititi's perspective, this portal is the main entrance to the area where the altar is located, and the entrance to the cave that Qi Xuansu found should be the back door.
Qi Xuansu knew that his hard work these days was not in vain, and he finally found traces of Paititi.
Not long after, Wu Niang also came over. "The dirty things in the cave have been cleaned up. They almost exhausted me to death. Remember to go back and reimburse me for your magical power."
Qi Xuansu glanced at Wu Niang, "Can't you practice on your own?"
Wu Niang said, "I can also use my divine power. Do you think you are the only one who can use it for everything? Do you think you don't want to reimburse me?"
Qi Xuansu hurriedly said, "Of course not. When you get back, you can make a symbolic report and I will approve it immediately."
While talking, Qi Xuansu calculated how much credit he had left on hand to see if it was enough for the two of them. If it was not enough, he would have to go to Master Qingwei for approval, which would be troublesome.
"That's pretty much it." Wu Niang muttered, "This is an official business, not a private matter."
Next, the two of them walked along this ancient road that was almost lost in the grass. The speed was not very fast for fear of missing some key clues.
Sure enough, the two people's caution was justified. They discovered a temple that was covered with green vegetation on the road. If they just passed by it, it would be easy to ignore it. However, the layout of the temple is not very similar to the current Tawanting Temple.
Same, this is normal. The architectural style of the Central Plains has also changed several times. It was already very different between the Zulong era and the Wei era. When Daomen came to power, there were changes again.
This temple, this ancient road, and the altar built in the cave should be one. The cave is probably a forbidden area of the temple or a secret passage. Qi Xuansu came in from the opposite direction.
The door of the temple was completely covered by vines. Qi Xuansu broke through the vines and found that there were golden sun patterns painted on the ground and walls. It should be the temple of the Sun God. However, the main god was not Kukulkan, but
It's It Sumner.
From this point of view, during the Paititi period, the power of the ancient northern gods had already penetrated into the south, which laid the foundation for the ancient northern gods to move south in the future. If not for the invasion of the Holy Court, the ancient northern gods might have unified the New World, but Yi
Tessumna, the main god, worked so hard and worked so hard, but in the end he could not escape his death. Instead, Kukulkan was able to enjoy the benefits. This is reminiscent of a person who swears by the Luo River.
Then again, what does the black sun on the altar mean? The black sun means closing the door, and the golden sun means opening the door?
Do these ancient gods also pay attention to the transformation of yin and yang? Old yin gives birth to young yang. This is a Taoist terminology.
Wu Niang looked around and suddenly said, "There is something."
After saying that, Wu Niang flashed and went behind the statue of Itesumna. When Wu Niang came back, she brought someone with her.
To be precise, it is the corpse of a woman. Judging from her dress, she should be a priest of this temple, and her status is quite high. You can tell from the various patterns on her mask. Wu Niang stretched out her hand to uncover the
When you open the mask on the corpse, you can see that underneath it is a person from the Central Plains.
Qi Xuansu and Qiniang looked at each other, both a little surprised.
