"If it is what Master Shenxiu said, this altar is a bloody altar, used to sacrifice to the gods and demons, but the gods and demons have almost disappeared... Could this altar be a sacrifice to those evil gods?!" Zhou You was shocked
Call out.
According to what Monk Shenxiu said, the so-called evil gods are actually some kind of soul form transformed into gods and demons who are unwilling to die.
This form cannot interfere with the real world, but it can control human beings to achieve certain goals by granting power.
"This bloody altar is a bit higher than the level of the evil cultivator...The evil cultivator uses various methods of meditation to gain induction with the evil god, and then enhances his own power..."
"Through this bloody altar, you can make the evil god give you strength, and even gain the power of his blood!"
"This is also the reason why the human race sacrificed to the gods and demons back then. Without the power of the gods and demons, it would have been difficult to survive in those prehistoric times!"
Shenxiu said softly.
To put it simply, evil cultivators are junior partners, while sacrificers are senior partners.
Zhou You's heart was filled with turmoil. Shenxiu's words made him finally know the reason why the aristocratic family was formed...
It turns out that the power of gods and demons is obtained through sacrifice.
But now it seems that those gods and demons have bad intentions in bestowing their own bloodline on humans, purely to leave a way out for themselves.
It seems that the gods and demons at that time had already had a premonition of the coming battle of annihilation.
This also led to the subsequent ending of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with gods and demons resurrected, noble families sacrificed, and collapse.
"Master, what you mean is that some people imitate the ancient times and sacrifice to a certain god and demon in exchange for the power of blood?" Zhou You understood.
"That's pretty much what it means..." Shenxiu nodded slightly.
"Isn't this a stranger?" Zhou You was stunned.
"Strictly speaking, he does belong to a foreigner." Shenxiu said in a deep voice.
The alien's own power comes from the blood of gods and demons.
Zhou You shook his head and said: "As far as I know, the family that was at the peak of the Zhou Dynasty was willing to sacrifice itself in order to exterminate the blood of gods and demons... I didn't expect that thousands of years later, there would be people who would embark on this path again for the sake of strength.
road."
And the most worrying thing is that the sleeping gods and demons seem to be ready to move...
Trading with gods and demons is undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger.
Even hundreds of thousands of innocent people's lives were sacrificed.
"I took a look and found that the most severely dried heads here are about ten years old..."
"And the freshest one is three years old."
"This also means that the last time the Bloody Altar was opened was three years ago." Shenxiu glanced around, his eyes clear.
Zhou You is an expert in this regard. He took a look and found that there was nothing wrong with Shenxiu's judgment.
"Master Shenxiu, I wonder if we can use these heads to obtain certain information?"
Zhou You asked tentatively.
"The sacrifice... not only includes the body, but also the soul must be absorbed by the gods and demons... no soul will be left behind." Shenxiu shook his head.
"This will be troublesome..." Zhou You sighed softly.
Although we now know the purpose of this altar, it is of little use in investigating the real culprit behind the scenes...
"No! There's another one!"
Zhou You suddenly clapped his hands and said.
With that said, he took Monk Shenxiu out of the cave and came to a small earthen grave on a hillside.
"That village was probably to protect the existence of the human head sacrifice in the cave. Someone deliberately killed it, creating a strange situation..."
"It's just that they may not have thought that there is another person who did not turn into Wei Wei, but turned into a ghost."
Zhou You looked at the small earthen grave of the hunter and couldn't help but sigh.
He didn't expect that in the end, he would still disturb his peace.
Under the hazy moonlight, there is a solitary grave, and there is no place to talk about the desolation.
When Master Shenxiu heard about this Orion, he clasped his hands together and bowed.
"Why are you back again? Didn't I tell you to leave quickly?"
Orion's figure emerged from the darkness, looking at Zhou You and the two anxiously.
"You guys should get out of here quickly before those people react."
Zhou You and Shenxiu looked at each other and sighed slightly in their hearts.
"Donor, do you have any resentment in your heart?" Shenxiu said suddenly.
Orion was stunned, shook his head and said: "I don't know what you are talking about, but you should just leave as soon as possible!"
"There is no resentment in my heart...Why do you still stay in this world and don't want to leave?"
Shenxiu asked again.
His voice, with its strange and peaceful power, echoed in the heart of the hunter like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning.
Orion was shocked, looking at Zhou You and the other two, he burst into tears: "I don't know... I don't know..."
Shenxiu sighed softly, his palm glowed with golden Buddha light, and landed gently on Orion's head.
A strange wave of energy dissipated.
When I was traveling around, I felt that the scenery around me suddenly changed, and the world seemed to turn into black and white.
"This is?" Zhou You asked in surprise.
"This is the memory world of that hunter..." Shenxiu explained.
Hearing the words while wandering around, he looked down the hillside.
The abandoned and dilapidated mountain village is now bustling with people, and smoke rises from every household, revealing the comfort and tranquility of the countryside.
Just then.
A young man with an indifferent expression appeared.
He held a long gun and looked at the small mountain village in front of him, his eyes full of cruelty.
Thus began a bloody massacre.
This originally peaceful mountain village instantly turned into a hell on earth.
Wails and sounds of pain continued one after another.
The young man was indifferent and continued to harvest the lives of these villagers.
A hunter came back from hunting. When he saw this scene, his eyes were full of anger. He took out the hunting bow from his back, nocked the bow and drew the arrow, and shot the young man hard!
Unfortunately, the gap between the two sides was too huge. When the arrow landed on the young man's body, it broke apart.
"Looking for death!" The young man turned around and saw the hunter on the hillside at a glance.
His eyes glowed with black devilish aura, and he threw the spear in his hand directly.
Phew~
The picture of the memory world ends here.
Zhou You's eyes flashed, and he found himself back in front of the small solitary grave.
The figure of the hunter gradually became blurred.
"It turns out...this is the obsession in your heart..."
"Are you hating yourself for not being able to protect the people in the village?"
Zhou You looked at Orion with a complicated expression.
"You can go in peace... I will avenge your village for you."
Orion looked at Zhou You with gratitude, bowed solemnly, and his figure dissipated like bubbles.
"Hell is empty, the devil is in the world."
Traveling around feels a little overwhelming.
Orion was a good man, and he did not turn into a weirdo even after death, but he ended up like this.
"If there are many people in the future who will not have enough food and clothing, and those who ask for help will obey their wishes, or they will suffer from many illnesses, or they will suffer from severe decline, their homes will be uneasy, their families will be scattered, or they will have many misfortunes, they will disobey their bodies, and they will often have frights in their sleep.
Horrible..." Shenxiu clasped his hands together and recited the salvation scriptures, hoping that the Orion could be reincarnated as soon as possible.
