Chapter 750: Axe and Halberd of the Weapon Master, Xuan Snake that Eats the Deer
The Nascent Soul Long Wang's expression moved slightly, and he turned to look at the blind old dragon beside him.
Elder Gu nodded slightly and transmitted his voice: "This cave has some mysteries. I heard the bronze ritual vessels on the sacrificial altar, and I know this is the sacrificial ritual of the Southern Wilderness Witch Sect in the late Heavenly Shang period."
"According to the sacrificial rites, the presence of axes and halberds among the ritual vessels indicates that what is being sacrificed to is a fierce object. The bronze divine face on the halberd, revealing sharp teeth, further indicates that it is sacrificing to an evil god! The bronze fierce god has sharp teeth and decorates the halberd surface. It sacrificed to a fierce god in order to swallow its soul when slaughtering human sacrifices, and then abandon the corpse in the water pool."
"This is a low sacrifice, indicating that the human sacrifices used were slaves and Qiang people, not noble people captured or those who volunteered to sacrifice themselves in the tribe... Otherwise, jade halberds should have been used for slaughter!"
"In the sacrificial rites of the Southern Wilderness, whenever sacrificing, the She altar uses large Lei vessels, the Xie gate uses ladle vessels, the temple uses You Zun vessels, all mountains and rivers and four directions use Shen Zun vessels, all libation matters use Gai Zun vessels, and all matters use San Zun vessels... That bronze Zun is a San Zun, indicating that the sacrificial altar is just for destroying the body of the sacrifice, a ritual for sacrificing to a minor god!"
"And that bronze bucket, is there black liquid in it..."
The Nascent Soul Long Wang was slightly stunned. Looking at his gray-white pupils, he thought to himself: "Aren't you blind? How can you observe more clearly than me?"
"That is Chang wine. In ancient times, Witch sacrifices used wine brewed with turmeric grass and black millet..." As he said this, he twitched his nose, and Elder Gu said firmly on his aged face: "The Chang grass has at least a thousand years of heat, and the black millet should also be planted in the sacrificial field. Its quality is even better than any purple-patterned dragon tooth rice or Shangqing Jade Emperor rice. It is spiritual millet grown under the nourishment of the divine power of gods..."
"The quality of this sacrificial wine is extremely high. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be paired with this kind of sacrificial ritual, unless..."
"Unless what?" The Nascent Soul Long Wang's expression became even more solemn. Elder Gu was worthy of being one of the oldest diviners of the Dragon Race; even the sacrificial rites of the remote human race were mastered without hindrance. This old man was truly a treasure.
"Unless they are very afraid of what they are sacrificing to, but this object cannot get the faith of those barbarians, so they bribe it with thick sacrifices and belittle it with low rites."
"Among those bronze ritual vessels, several are high-level rites, Tiger Yi, Sui Yi, and two Elephant Zun vessels. All of them have sacrificed gods, and they are ritual vessels comparable to magic treasure embryos, having been sacrificed for at least thousands of years! Therefore, this sacrificial altar is a sacrifice to the Weapon Master to suppress the evil god..."
"That bronze divine face halberd represents the Weapon Master. The high-quality ritual vessel is used for sacrificing to the Weapon Master and cleaning the axe and halberd!"
"In this way, borrowing the divine power of the Weapon Master to slaughter human sacrifices, sacrificing their souls to the Weapon Master, and then smearing the remaining corpses with the divine power of the Weapon Master with Chang sacrificial wine, and pushing them down into the water pool for the evil god to enjoy. In this way, the most precious souls of the human sacrifices were sacrificed to the Weapon Master, so there is no need to worry about the evil god enjoying the human souls and becoming more fierce, gaining human wisdom, courage, and integrity, and becoming close to a demon!"
"At the same time, the divine power of the Weapon Master remaining on the corpse can also suppress the evil god so it dares not cause trouble!"
"But also because the sacrifice has no soul, those barbarians are worried that the evil god will be dissatisfied with the sacrifice, so they smear the corpse with Chang sacrificial wine. This wine has supreme benefits for living beings and even demons. In ancient divine path sacrifices, wine sacrifices were mostly used, using incense... Hmph! That was a matter after the rise of the Buddhist Sect!"
"In this way, the most precious thing in this cave is the bronze fierce god halberd!"
The Nascent Soul Long Wang said solemnly: "The ritual vessel for sacrificing to Chi You, the Weapon Master, by the ancient barbarians is at least a spiritual treasure embryo!"
"And that bucket of Chang sacrificial wine, that bucket of wine has been stored for ten thousand years, and its spirituality has not been lost at all. Instead, because it has been worshipped on the sacrificial altar, it has become even thicker. If this wine is obtained, I fear it will have great benefits for sacrificing to the Ancestral Dragon! It's just..." The blind old dragon hesitated slightly, as if not knowing whether to continue.
He was in a trance for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "This wine is a sacrifice used by the evil god, it must be extremely sensitive to it..."
"If we take away the bronze fierce god halberd, the object suppressing this evil god will be taken away by us. It will certainly not stop us, and will mostly be happy to see a giant rock pressing on its head roll away. But if we take away the sacrifice it has its eyes on..."
"Can this wine really be used to sacrifice to the Ancestral Dragon?" The Nascent Soul Long Wang completely skipped what he said later, and just hearing the first half made him turn around, staring fixedly at the blind old dragon.
Elder Gu could only nod.
"Then it must be obtained..." The Nascent Soul Long Wang said with a serious expression: "Even if it is a sacrifice for an evil god, so what? If it can sacrifice to the spirituality in the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, making the Ancestral Dragon Pearl god revive a little more, even if we all die here, so what? If the Ancestral Dragon Pearl has three more strikes of power, nothing in the world can stop it..."
"Long Wang..." Elder Gu's face was a bit ugly: "The evil god that can be suppressed by the barbarians with the power of the Weapon Master cannot be underestimated!"
"I know the danger, but it concerns the sacrifice to the Ancestral Dragon, so I have to take this risk!" The Long Wang's expression carried an undeniable decisiveness.
Elder Gu could only sigh: "If so, we must plan carefully. Originally, we could quietly take away those bronze ritual vessels without alarming the evil god, but now we must first obtain the bronze fierce god halberd that suppresses the evil god in our hands to make the evil god have some scruples. In this way, we have to restart the blood sacrifice!"
"This can only restart the blood sacrifice!"
The blind old dragon showed a fierce look: "That bronze fierce god halberd is used to slaughter human sacrifices. My Dragon Race is not a suitable sacrifice. We must trick a human cultivator to go in together, and then according to the sacrificial ritual, slaughter him, and use his soul to awaken the bronze fierce god halberd to revive. Finally, smear his corpse with Chang sacrificial wine and push the corpse down into the water pool."
"Taking advantage of the evil god enjoying the sacrifice, quietly carry the Chang sacrificial wine out, and at the same time hold the bronze fierce god halberd all the way to awe it..."
Just as the Dragon Race gradually pieced together the truth of the sacrificial ritual and plotted for the two most precious treasures among the ritual vessels, Qian Chen was also flipping through the Ten Thousand Gods Sacrifice Atlas given to him by the Creation Cauldron, finding the records corresponding to the cave.
"The 27th Weapon Master Cave, sacrificed by the Vertical Eye tribe of the barbarians, using human sacrifices to sacrifice to the Yellow Halberd of the Weapon Master... Hiss! Is this halberd actually the Yellow Halberd of the Weapon Master?"
Qian Chen wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and continued to read, thinking secretly: "There are seventy-two Yellow Halberds in the Weapon Master Temple, which are the ritual vessels in the Weapon Master Temple jointly sacrificed by countless barbarian tribes in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains! Years ago, water erupted from Mount Ge Lu, gold followed it, and Chi You received it and made it into swords, armor, spears, and halberds. Water erupted from Mount Yong Hu, gold followed it, and Chi You received it and made it into the Yong Hu halberd and Rui Ge. That year, there were twelve feudal lords who were annexed, so the ruler of the world, with one anger of the halberd, covered the wilderness with corpses!"
"Later, the Emperor was angry, attacked Chi You, and when he died, he melted Chi You's weapons and made Yellow Halberds!"
"The true Heavenly Emperor holds the Yellow Halberd in his left hand and the White Banner in his right, which was refined from Chi You's Yong Hu halberd and Rui Ge. The one in this Weapon Master Temple is only an axe and halberd refined from the weapons under Chi You's command... But it can be called a Yellow Halberd, it is almost certain that solar gold essence was added to it. Without gold, it cannot be a Yellow Halberd!"
"This thing is a spiritual treasure! Among spiritual treasures, it can be considered a top-notch embryo..."
"What kind of thing is so fierce that it needs to be suppressed with the Yellow Halberd of the Weapon Master?"
Qian Chen looked at the sacrificial map for two glances, covered the atlas in horror, and said in a low voice: "South of the Black Water, Xuan Snake that eats the deer?"
"The Classic of the Southern Wilderness" records: There is Rong Mountain, and Rong Water originates from it. South of the Black Water, there is a Xuan Snake that eats the deer. There is Wushan, where the Yellow Bird goes west. Emperor's medicine, eight fasts. The Yellow Bird is at Wushan, in charge of this Xuan Snake.
"How did this beast get here?" Qian Chen's expression was solemn, and he muttered in a low voice.
He opened the atlas given to him by the Creation Cauldron, scanned it for a few glances, and then looked up: "Good fellow, the immortal medicine of Wushan was planted by Wa Huang. Years ago, the Wa Huang orthodoxy had internal strife, Er Fu killed Xie Yu, and Wa Huang ordered the ten Witches to take the immortal medicine to save him. Xie Yu's corpse turned into Xie Yu, and later caused chaos. Wa Huang ordered Yi to kill Xie Yu, and his corpse turned into a Xuan Snake, coming out of the Weak Water!"
"The Emperor's medicine of the eight fasts of Wushan must have been taken away by the Creation Cauldron!"
"It is estimated that the Xuan Snake lost the immortal medicine and entered the world to cause chaos. It was transformed after the death of Wa Huang's minister. The Creation Cauldron probably didn't pay attention to taking away the immortal medicine, causing such a fierce god, and it was not easy to deal with it, so it let the barbarians of the Vertical Eye tribe hold Chi You's halberd to suppress it in this Weapon Master Cave and sacrifice to it so it would no longer cause chaos!"
"Hmph hmph... So it was the dark history of the Creation Cauldron, no wonder it had to be sealed here!"
Qian Chen showed a strange smile: "This thing is a god born from the Dao fruit left by a dead Daoist Lord. I fear a single Yellow Halberd cannot suppress it for so long..."
He continued to read: "So there is a piece of Chi You's bone buried in the sacrificial altar, this is amazing! No wonder the Xuan Snake is honest, and it didn't dare to move the turmeric sacrificial wine for hundreds of thousands of years..."
On the "Ten Thousand Gods Sacrifice Atlas", this Xuan Snake Cave was just a side dish. Qian Chen kept reading, and only then did he feel more and more horrified.
"This Eight Fasts Cave is the eight stone caves near the top of the Five-Colored Stone Mountain. Could there really be 'Emperor's medicine'? No, the Eight Fasts written by the Creation Cauldron are burial caves, and the others are not detailed. Wa Huang's intestines are divided into ten...! It can't be! Could it be that the ten Witches of Ling Mountain are buried inside!"
"The water in the Ten Thousand Gods Cave is really deep. I only scanned it for two glances, and I saw at least a dozen Daoist Lords buried inside!"
"The taboos of the Wa Huang orthodoxy are too terrifying! I feel that those Daoist Lords buried are just guarding some secrets. In the Ten Thousand Gods Cave, there might also be an immortal medicine, but that immortal medicine should also have problems!"
"Wa Huang's intestines, what exactly are Wa Huang's intestines? Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Pan, Wu Peng, Wu Gu, Wu Zhen, Wu Li... What is the relationship between these ten Witches of Ling Mountain and Wa Huang's intestines?"
Qian Chen saw the records of the most terrifying caves, and always felt his scalp tingling. He didn't know how many secrets of the Wa Huang orthodoxy the Creation Cauldron had hidden here.
This... was really trusting him enough!
Qian Chen scanned the dim stone cave. There were indeed some good things in it. The best was the Chi You bone buried in the sacrificial altar, a bone of a Divine Emperor comparable to a Dao Venerable. There was nothing in the world that could compare to it.
But he didn't dare to take it...
This thing had too much karma. Dao Venerables were existences that did not stiffen even after death. Carrying their bones, Qian Chen was afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep.
Next was the bronze divine face halberd, which was a top-grade spiritual treasure embryo. Next was the turmeric sacrificial wine. For some divine path existences, this thing was I fear even more precious than the bronze divine face halberd...
At this time, the Dragon Race and Jade Jing Shan had already made a deal. Seeing the Nascent Soul Long Wang and Yu Changsheng's divine sense intertwined, not knowing what they had communicated, they heard Yu Changsheng point to a Jade Jing Shan disciple behind him and say: "You! Follow him in..."
The one sent by the Dragon Race to explore the cave was a Yang Spirit level old dragon.
Qian Chen glanced at the Dragon Race's Elder Gu, feeling that he should have seen something, but eyesight was such a thing, it was always the half-bucket of water that was the most miserable...
He dared to conclude that this blind old dragon could not guess that the fierce object in the water pool was an existence like the Xuan Snake that eats the deer.
If he hadn't read the records left by the Creation Cauldron, he wouldn't have guessed it himself...
Because he didn't know there was Chi You's bone in the sacrificial altar, he would misjudge that the bronze divine face halberd could suppress this fierce object, seriously misjudging the strength of the Xuan Snake. Compared with Elder Gu, the only point Qian Chen won was that he saw the turmeric sacrificial wine in the bucket was not taken by the fierce object in the water pool, so he felt a trace of disharmony. He judged that he had missed something.
Although he wouldn't think of such an outrageous existence as Chi You's bone, he would definitely be cautious and not move it.
"Xuan Snake that eats the deer..." Qian Chen looked at the old dragon of the Dragon Race who was exploring the path with great sympathy.
Don't think that because others are snakes, you are a dragon, so you are amazing...
Yang Spirit, Yang Spirit is not as powerful as the divine deer that others often eat! That is also an ancient divine deer, estimated to be an existence like a Lu Shu.
Except for him and Xu Fu, I fear no one can retreat unscathed! ===== CHAPTER 751 =====
