Chapter 192 Name (Thanks to Guichen 3000 for the reward)
The vision on the altar gradually disappeared.
Wu Yu stood alone in this ancient place of sacrifice. The long wind that had not changed for thousands of years blew through the cracked steps and made a low whistle. Everything was like a dream. If he didn't have this full force in his hand,
Divine edict, if the last name had not remained in his ears, then he would never have believed what he had just experienced.
Wu Yu subconsciously clenched the edict in his hand, and the words on it glowed.
An extremely high-spirited energy lingers on it.
Like ghosts and gods.
No, that is ghosts and gods.
After a while, Wu Yu finally came back to his senses. He carefully put away the order from the gods, calmed down his mood, his face returned to calm, and walked down the altar step by step, returning to Chaoge City - after nearly
After three thousand years of reproduction, the original Chaoge had developed into the size of a small country.
However, generations of people have experienced fighting with strange beasts from the mountains and seas. The people here were unable to expand outwards, and eventually maintained a balanced state similar to a city-state fortress, with the ancient Chaoge City as the center and a structure similar to fortresses and acropolis built around it.
In the city, there are bronze machine beasts created from the bones of giant beasts from the mountains and seas, as well as bronze stained with the blood of these legendary and mythical creatures, patrolling to prevent attacks by ferocious beasts.
Wu Yu's mood gradually calmed down.
The Shang Dynasty people along the road had hurried expressions, some with joy and some with sadness. Wu Yu remembered that today was the time when the team that went out to hunt for exotic animals came back. It was like this every time. Some of them came back alive and slightly injured.
It's already the greatest luck, but some can only bring back weapons.
He saw a sixteen or seventeen year old girl holding her father's weapon and crying bitterly.
I also saw the white-haired old man walking back from the outgoing team with his head held high, holding prey in his hands. His son had died in the battle with the ferocious beast, and he took over his son's weapons and stepped into the outer lands to seek revenge.
Blood, crying, struggle, this is Chaoge.
The language used by these people to communicate is a simpler tone, which is different from the shamanistic words used during sacrifices. The former has gradually changed from generation to generation, while the latter has been passed down from generation to generation by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. According to legend, it can make people
The language of communication with God.
Compared to the solemn and obscure latter, the former gave him a more familiar and warm feeling.
Wu Yu glanced at these pictures and strengthened his determination. He put on his hood and hurried to the ancestral mountain for sacrifice. Their ancestor Shang Tang wrote the Tang Oath here to defeat the legendary Jie, and
From generation to generation, kings worshiped the heaven and earth and all creatures on this mountain top.
When Emperor Xin sent Chaoge City out, he also sent out the ancestral lineage of King Shang.
He obviously didn't want this mountain to be humiliated.
Wu Yu was a sorcerer and qualified to enter here. He nodded calmly to the warriors who ended up here, and walked to the top step by step. After praying devoutly to the ancestors of all generations, he took out the edict from his arms.
, and then put it into the place where the Shangxia Emperor was originally worshiped.
He was worried about how to hide it before, but when the order came into contact with this mountain range with a long history, the words on it emitted a stream of light, and then turned into fine dust of light and submerged under the mountain range. Wu Yu felt both sad and a little bit sad.
I instinctively regretted it, but quickly regained my composure.
In any case, there is no turning back.
Wu Yu calmed down, and then only the last step was left. At the next sacrifice, all the sacrifices should be chanted by his name. This task was far more difficult than putting the edict into the ancestral land. The latter
As long as he is careful and looks for opportunities, he can always do it. The former involves too many people and needs to convince the clan elders.
In other words, the Grand Master in ancient times.
Wu Yu hesitated and struggled, but chose to go over. When he passed by, the old man who was already gray-haired but extremely powerful was pulling a tied beast over. Today is the time for hunting and harvesting, and he wants to pull it over.
Kill this ferocious beast to prepare for the next sacrifice.
Wu Yu entered the courtyard and said, "Grand Master."
The old man glanced at him, seeming to see something from this sorcerer who was no longer young, but he didn't say anything. He just said calmly: "Come here, sit down."
"Um."
"I heard that you had a quarrel with Fei Yu and the others?"
"……yes."
The old master did not continue to ask, and was silent for a while. He just shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about it for now. Why did you come to me this time? Do you have something to do? Just tell me, huh... you did it before
I can’t hide things in my heart.”
As he spoke, he tried to bleed the beast, but failed.
This is a Qiongqi, or more accurately, a ferocious beast mixed with a trace of Qiongqi's blood. Those who could be accurately recorded by King Yu and his subjects in the distant ancient times are the strongest individuals of each race.
, now in the past thousands of years, they have left many descendants.
These descendants may not necessarily have the power of their ancestors, but at least they are very similar in appearance. This Qiongqi descendant is a ferocious beast with a huge body and two wings.
The old master was old and could not suppress this ferocious beast for a while.
Wu Yu helped, and the two of them worked together to suppress the descendant of Qiongqi. Wu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice: "I remember that there will be a sacrifice ten days later. Master, when I was reading ancient books,
We found a new sacrificial prayer that involves an ancient being. Should we try adding this sentence to it? It might be effective."
"New prayer? Ancient existence?"
The grand master glanced at him and shook his head as expected: "Our current prayers have been tested from generation to generation, and they are all the most effective. If you find a prayer that you have not seen in ancient books, maybe
It must have been abandoned and no longer used."
"This is not child's play."
"Each sacrifice consumes a large amount of prey, which means many tribesmen are injured and killed in battle. The specifications and rituals cannot be easily changed."
Wu Yu had guessed the Grand Master's answer in advance and was mentally prepared, but when it happened, he still felt disappointed and regretful.
He gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and whispered: "Isn't it okay to try it once, even just once?"
The old man's answer left no room for negotiation and he refused again: "No."
"We no longer have the luxury to try this."
He took out a bronze dagger with a black bird's wings pattern on the hilt. He paused and asked nonchalantly:
"By the way, the words and rituals you said you want to add point to an ancient being, who is it?"
"What is your name?"
Wu Yu thought that maybe the grand master would know the true identity of that person, or maybe that person was really the emperor of Shang's generation, so he recalled it briefly and replied in the language inherited from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period: "Yuan."
The Grand Master frowned and murmured: "Yuan?"
He shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."
Then he was about to kill Qiongqi, but found that the descendant of Qiongqi suddenly rioted, its pupils opened angrily, and it kept growling and struggling anxiously, showing a complex emotion of extreme hatred and fear.
, the wings flapped, and the force erupted was so great that the old man almost flew away.
Wu Yu quickly supported the old man.
The two of them looked ahead with vigilance and were extremely angry, but fear obviously dominated more of the descendants of Qiongqi. They didn't know what was going on for a while. After a while, the old man's expression changed slightly, and he broke away from Wu Yu's support.
Standing up straight, he said tentatively:
"deep……"
?!!
Qiongqi was obviously frightened, his hair stood on end, and he kept roaring and roaring. When he looked back, he felt as if he had encountered a natural enemy or an enemy.
But how could such a ferocious beast have natural enemies?
The old man stepped forward and shouted the name again and again. However, the descendant of Qiongqi who was captured alone was angry and frightened. He couldn't help but look around, irritable and restless. Finally, the old man took a step forward, pierced Qiongqi's throat with the sword in his hand, and stepped back.
After two steps, seeing Qiongqi being killed because of fear that he could not even make an effective resistance, he suddenly became broad-minded.
He took a long breath, looked at Wu Yu, and said, "I agree."
"His name will be added to the sacrifice in ten days."
"You agreed?"
"um, yes."
The old man looked at the dead descendants of Qiongqi and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:
"To be able to make such strange beasts in the mountains and seas feel fear, this name must be that of a powerful emperor."
Wu Yu nodded and finally breathed a sigh of relief, uncontrollably looking forward to what would happen in ten days.
Ten days later.
Can the sacrifice be answered? And what kind of response will it be?
