"It seems that Fellow Daoist Ghost Vine has dabbled in shamanism?" Tian Sanqi walked over and asked.
"Where, I'm a casual cultivator in the lower district, and my knowledge is shallow. I don't know much about shamanism like Fellow Daoist Tian, who came from a famous family. I just think these shamanism are quite mysterious, so I just read a few more times."
Tian Sanqi nodded noncommittally, glanced at Master Guiteng again, and looked away.
In the Xiaoyaojing, Shen Luo learned from the situation mentioned above by Master Guiteng that Tian Sanqi has a magic weapon of Canghun Orb in his hand, which is very good at sensing breath. Could it be that this person has noticed his own existence?
With awe in his heart, he became more vigilant and restrained his breath.
They soon came to the depths of the valley. This is the living area of the Baiyawu clan. Many old and weak women and children in the clan lived here. They looked at Shen Luo and the others curiously, but no one came to talk to them.
"The place is simple, please don't mind me." Ma Tu placed them in an empty stone house.
"Where, it would be nice to have a place to rest." Tao Xiang and the others obviously didn't care about this.
Ma Tu talked with a few people for a while, then took his leave and left, just as he reached the door, he stopped suddenly, and said with annoyed expression: "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot the most important thing. "
"What else can the patriarch do?" Tao Xiang asked.
"Living on this island, there is one of the biggest taboos, and that is not to stay in the dark. You must not turn off the lights in the house at night, and don't go out at will." Matu warned in a solemn tone.
"Can't be in the dark? Why is that?" Tian Sanqi asked in amazement.
"There is a strange force in the darkness of our island, and all those who are enveloped by it will disappear without a sound and will never be found again. I know that several fellow daoists are powerful, but it is best not to act rashly Try, too many people in this clan have been devoured in this way over the years, and there are many real immortals among them." Matu said with some fear.
After hearing this, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless for a moment.
Ma Tu didn't stay any longer, and turned around and left after instructing a few more people.
"Several, do you think the words of the Matu patriarch's words are credible?" Matu's figure disappeared, Tao Xiang was silent for a while, and opened a shield with a flick of his sleeves, and said.
"This island is quite strange, and the black mist restriction around it is even more extraordinary. Maybe what Matu said about being swallowed by darkness... has something to do with the black mist restriction." Tian Sanqi said thoughtfully.
"What Daoist Tian said is very true. I would rather believe what I have than what I don't have. Anyway, tomorrow Na Ma Tu will take us to Hou Yi's Mausoleum, and we will just stay here for one night." Yan Lie nodded and said.
Tao Xiang naturally had no objection, and nodded slowly.
"Since that's the case, I still have some things to do. Before it's dark, let's go out first." Shen Luo manipulated Master Ghost Vine to say a word, and walked out.
Tao Xiang, Tian Sanqi and the others watched the back of Master Guiteng without saying anything.
Master Ghost Vine came out of the stone house, and with a sense of consciousness, he walked deep into the valley, and soon came to a tall stone house.
"This is where the patriarch lives. Idlers are not allowed to enter. What are you doing here?" Two Wu tribe warriors stood outside, raised their hands to stop the ghost vine master, and shouted in a deep voice.
"I would like to ask the two warriors to report on my behalf. I have something important to discuss with the patriarch." Shen Luo manipulated the ghost vine master and said, and at the same time took out two storage magic weapons and stuffed them into the hands of two Wu tribe warriors.
Although the Witch Clan doesn't cultivate the soul, they have other secret methods of exploration. They can see the inside of the storage device, and there are several monster corpses stored in each. The aura is strong, and they are all monsters in the Mahayana period.
The eyes of the two Wu tribe warriors fluctuated, obviously wanting these corpses very much, but when the patriarch just entered the house, he ordered not to disturb them, and the two couldn't help but looked at each other, a little hesitant.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Ghost Vine, please come in." The voice of Matu Patriarch suddenly came from inside the house, and the door opened automatically.
The two Wu tribe warriors breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside.
Shen Luo nodded towards the two of them, and manipulated Master Ghost Vine to walk in.
Inside the house is an empty hall, with a small altar in the innermost part. On the top stands a statue of a majestic man with a big bow on his back and a sword in his hand. He looks extremely mighty.
Two stone pillars stood on both sides of the main hall, with emerald green flames burning at the top, but instead of bringing light, it made the inside of the hall look more gloomy than the outside.
Shen Luo glanced at the statue of the man on the altar through the vision of Master Ghost Vine, frowning slightly.
The hall was filled with an inexplicable strange power, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Boy Shen, be careful, this witch tribe looks weird, don't fall into their trap." Huo Lingzi reminded.
Shen Luo had been paying attention for a long time, and secretly raised his mana, and immediately shot with all his strength as soon as he found something wrong.
Fortunately, no accident happened.
Patriarch Matu was sitting in front of the altar, and when he saw Master Ghost Vine coming in, he turned around with a look of surprise on his face: "Fellow Ghost Vine, it will be dark soon, why do you come here at this time? thing?"
"Clan Chief Matu, to tell the truth, I have read many ancient books of the Wu Clan and explored several relics of the Witch Clan. I highly respect the Witch Clan, and for some other reasons, I need powerful witch tools to assist me, so I want to exchange some spiritual materials for one or two pieces from the noble tribe." Master Ghost Vine walked up to Ma Tu, glanced at the white bone staff in his hand, and said sincerely.
While speaking, he took out a storage artifact and placed it in front of Matu Patriarch.
There are a large number of precious spiritual materials in this magic storage device, as well as the corpses of two monster beasts at the level of real immortals. Shen Luo can't remember who collected it from the magic storage device.
"In exchange for witchcraft? I'm really sorry, this island is poor in resources and cannot be used to refine witchcraft. The existing magic weapons in the clan are all passed down from the predecessors. The number is extremely rare, and each one is very important. It's impossible to take it out and exchange it." The Matu patriarch glanced at the magic weapon, shook his head and refused.
"Patriarch, I have obtained the map of the Wu Clan's altar for refining the gods at a Wu Clan altar, and you can also trade it." Ghost Vine raised his brows, flipped his hands and took out a piece of jade slip and storage magic weapon and put it on the table. together.
The Great Formation of Refining Gods is the secret formation of the Wu Clan, and he believes that there is no one in the Wu Clan who doesn't want it.
"Spiritual Formation!" Sure enough, Matu's eyes lit up.
But then, he shook his head firmly.
Chapter 1557 Twelve Ancestral Witches
Master Guiteng frowned slightly, but Shen Luo's complexion in Xiaoyaojing sank. Seeing Matu's patriarch like this, no matter how much he raised the price, the other party would not agree to the deal.
But the opportunity in front of him is really rare, not to mention the other witchcraft of the Baiya tribe, the bone stick in the hands of the Matu patriarch is definitely a powerful witchcraft, which contains abundant witchcraft, and it may help Nie Caizhu open the blood of the witch tribe.
He was anxious in his heart, wishing he could snatch the bone staff back, but this was the base camp of the White Fang tribe, although he was strong, he didn't dare to act rashly.
"If I just borrow the witch weapon for a period of time and return it in a day or two, I wonder if the patriarch will agree? The terms of exchange remain the same." Shen Luo thought about it and lowered the request.
"I'm sorry, the ancestors left a will, and the weapon is in the person. The witch weapon of the family must not fall into the hands of outsiders, even if it is only temporarily." Matu shook his head and said.
Shen Luo frowned, Master Guiteng made the same expression.
"If Fellow Daoist Ghost Vine really needs a witch weapon, there is no need to do so. Tomorrow I will take you to the mausoleum of the Great God Houyi, where the powerful witch weapon used by the Great God Houyi is preserved, and it is no worse than my bone staff. Poor, but whether you can get it depends on the chance." Matu said.
"Is this true?" Master Ghost Vine asked.
"It's absolutely true. There are records in the family's materials about God Houyi." Matu said.
"Okay, thank you Patriarch for your guidance." Master Ghost Vine thanked him.
"You're welcome, I sincerely hope that several fellow Taoists can inherit the inheritance of God Houyi, so that our Baiya tribe won't have to stay on this remote island any longer." Matu said with a long sigh.
Shen Luo was a little surprised. There was a reason why the Bai Fang tribe stayed here. He thought it was the black mist around the island that blocked the Bai Fang tribe from leaving.
"I hope that some of us can inherit the power of the Great God Houyi, so that the noble tribe can be liberated as soon as possible." Master Guiteng said.
Matu smiled wryly, but did not speak.
"Patriarch Matu, you just mentioned that there are ancient books about God Houyi in the clan. I really want to know more about the Wu clan. I wonder if I can get these ancient books?" Master Guiteng hesitated for a moment and asked again. road.
"This is fine." The Matu patriarch did not refuse this time.
Afterwards, Shen Luo exchanged a corpse of a real fairy monster and some precious spiritual materials for three books of the witch clan.
As soon as Master Guiteng received the three classics, he put them directly into the Xiaoyao Mirror, and Shen Luo quickly flipped through them.
Huo Lingzi also flew out from the dark fire furnace and watched together.
Master Ghost Vine didn't stay here for long, so he got up to leave.
As soon as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Clan Chief Matu, I have another question I want to ask you. Is the black mist restriction near the island imposed by your tribe?"
"Our Baifang tribe is weak, so how could we arrange such an astonishingly powerful restriction? The black mist restriction suddenly appeared more than a thousand years ago, and we don't know why." Matu said.
"Appeared more than a thousand years ago? Did something happen at that time?" asked the ghost vine master.
"I don't know. At that time, a young man named Donghua came and wanted to obtain the inheritance of the Great God Houyi, but unfortunately he failed in the end. It may be that he touched the mechanism in the Mausoleum of the Great God, causing the island to appear. These are black mist." Matu said.
"Donghua? Could it be Donghua Sanxian, Donghua Sanxian was a person thousands of years ago, so it should be right." Shen Luo's heart moved.
"Then when did you say that when you are in the dark, you will disappear out of thin air? After the black mist restriction appeared?" Master Ghost Vine asked immediately.
"After the black mist restriction appeared, the darkness on the island changed." The Matu patriarch recalled briefly and said.
"Thank you, Patriarch, for letting me know." Shen Luo nodded silently, took his leave, and walked towards the stone house.
The sky was almost completely dark, and there were almost no people in the valley. Every household in the tribe had lit their torches.
Shen Luo glanced at the black mist restraint above his head, and after pondering for a moment, he reminded him with his spiritual thoughts.
A faint black light flashed from the sleeve of the walking ghost vine master, and a Mahayana corpse in the body bag sank into the ground, fled to the outside of the valley, and then stopped in a mountain forest.
After finishing these, Master Ghost Vine quickly returned to the stone house.
A large piece of fluorescent stone was inlaid on the wall of the house, illuminating the stone house brightly, and everyone else had already closed their eyes and meditated.
Master Ghost Vine didn't make a sound, walked to a corner of the room and sat down, closed his eyes to rest his mind, and the stone house soon fell into silence again.
In the Happy Mirror, Shen Luo had already looked through the three ancient books of the witch clan, his face revealing a look of deep thought.
These three books recorded a lot of the history of the Wu Clan, as well as some great powers of the Wu Clan. Hou Yi was among them, allowing him to know more about Hou Yi.
In addition to Houyi, Kuafu, Jiufeng, Xingtian and other great witches are also recorded in the books. Of course, the most detailed records are the twelve ancestor witches: the ancestor of gold Wu Rushou, the ancestor of wood Wu Jumang, the ancestor of water Wu Gonggong, the ancestor of fire Wu Zhurong, the ancestor of earth Wu Houtu, the ancestor of ice Wu Xuanming, the ancestor of thunder Wu Qiangliang, the ancestor of wind Wu Tianwu, the ancestor of poison Wu Shebishi, the ancestor of darkness Wu Xizi , the ancestor of Wudi Jiang in space, and the ancestor of Wuzhu Jiuyin in time.
Shen Luo had known a few ancestor witches before, but not all of them, and now he finally got to know the twelve famous ancestor witches as a whole.
"The twelve ancestral witches seem to each have a magical power, and they all look very powerful." He murmured.
"Of course, the Twelve Ancestral Witches are formed by most of the blood essence of the Great God Pan Gu, and they contain the power of the Dao. The Twelve Ancestral Witches inherit the origin of the Dao. Each of them is a powerful man with great strength. They are such ancient powers. Those who shoot the stars with their hands and split the earth with their feet, their supernatural powers are beyond your imagination." Huo Lingzi said solemnly.
"The original power of the Dao?" Shen Luo's eyes moved.
"With your current cultivation base, it's too early to understand this, at least you have to be in the Taiyi period, and even the Tianzun realm can sense it." Huo Lingzi waved his hand, without explaining to Shen Luo.
"The blood of the witch clan inherits this kind of power from the source of the Dao?" Shen Luo also asked, changing the subject.
"That's right. But the power of the blood in the people of the White Fang tribe has nothing to do with the origin of the Dao. It's just a trace of residual power at most, which is extremely thin." Huo Lingzi said.
Shen Luo nodded slightly and fell silent.
Night fell quickly, Yan Lie and the others stayed quietly in the stone house, each practiced with their eyes closed, the same was true for Shen Luo in the Xiaoyao Mirror.
In the woods outside the valley, the corpse sent by Shen Luo walked back and forth, looking around with scarlet eyes.
At this moment, the darkness around him suddenly became thick as ink, and the tall corpse body was gradually submerged in the darkness, becoming more and more blurred, and finally disappeared as if out of thin air, completely integrated with the night.
In the Happy Mirror, Shen Luo suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards a certain direction outside the valley.
Just now, the relationship between Master Ghost Vine and that corpse was severed, and the breath of corpse refining disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, it's really weird, there really is a strange power on this island!" Shen Luo muttered to himself.
Chapter 1558 Unity and sincerity
The next day.
In the early morning, Master Guiteng and others arrived at Houyi's Mausoleum under the leadership of Ma Tu, the head of the Wu clan, after a night's rest.
In the void in front of him, there are two huge stone gates up to ten feet high out of thin air, with no support on the left and right, just like two solitary door panels standing in front of them.
Shen Luo glanced through the vision of Master Ghost Vine, and saw an elegant woman wearing a golden crown engraved on the stone gate on the left. Round day.
On the other side of the stone gate, there is a corresponding sculpture of another slender goddess in palace attire, with the same elegant dancing posture, the same flowing clothes, and the same hands raised, but there is a crescent moon in the palm.
Naturally, everyone present could see at a glance that the two goddesses Xihe and Wangshu were engraved on the two doors.
"Several warriors, behind the Sun and Moon Gate in front of you is Hou Yi's mausoleum. Before you go in and break through the gate, I have to remind you again that it is very dangerous inside. If you don't have enough wisdom and courage, you'd better Stop here, don't give up your life in vain." Ma Tu leaned slightly towards the others and said.
"Thank you for the warning, the patriarch. We are determined to break through, take out the artifact, and contribute to the peace of the Three Realms." Tao Xiang said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, such treasures are placed in the mausoleum, and some of the pearls are dusty. It's too wasteful." Liu Hong and Li Biao agreed.
"Since the patriarch has been guarding this place for many years, he must know something about the situation of the tomb pass. Why don't you tell us something?" Tian Sanqi cupped his hands at Matu and said.
The rest of the people also looked at the patriarch. Obviously, everyone is still very concerned about the answer to this question.
"It's not a secret that can't be said, let me tell you. There are two main test passes in Houyi's Mausoleum, namely the Soul Birth Gate and the Soul Death Gate. The test of life and death can only be passed by defeating and crushing the Soul Birth Pillar and Soul Death Pillar one by one." Ma Tu put one hand on his chest, bowed back, and said.
"After clearing the customs, can I get the treasure?" Li Biao asked quickly, his eyes brightened.
"That's right. This is a double test of wisdom and courage. Only the truly wise and brave are worthy of the treasure inheritance of God Houyi." Matu said with a look of pride on his face.
Shen Luo just listened to everyone's conversation quietly, and didn't let Master Guiteng make a sound, but only occasionally observed the changes in the expressions of the other people.
"Warriors, since you all have the belief and awareness to win, you can start your adventure now." Matu bowed and raised his hand in a gesture of "please".
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, but no one stepped forward to take the lead.
In the end, it was Tao Xiang who winked at Li Biao, and the latter walked to the two gates.
"Just push it away?" He turned to look at the Wu Clan patriarch and confirmed again.
The patriarch shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Not only must we use our strength, we must also use our heart and faith..."
