However, the battle between these two sacred objects (referred to as the Holy War) is not fierce or spectacular at all. To put it bluntly, it is just a small snake and a bean sprout competing, and the battle is 99%
The entire time was spent in a stalemate.
The final outcome was that the sub-body of the Stairway of the Sun desperately absorbed energy from the meteorite fragments, exhausted all the fragments, and finally completely dissolved and absorbed the Ouroboros, but it also paid a heavy price.
The crystal-clear stem was now filled with blackness, like a large ball of ink poured into a glass of water, and the leaves and tentacle-like tendrils began to droop.
At this time, Old Alam let out a long sigh of relief, wiped a handful of sweat, and was filled with the pleasure of relief. He is still only hurting his vitality and not his roots. If he takes good care of himself, his lifespan will probably not be affected.
, can also restore youth. After seeing Sheyan's very troubled look, he thought about it carefully, hesitated and said:
"Outsiders, the situation you are encountering now is very rare. You only got the sub-body of the Sun Staircase, but not its dead leaves. You can no longer use conventional methods to obtain the power of the Sun Staircase."
Sheyan could only smile bitterly at this time. Does he still have the financial ability to support the business of entering the ruins again to collect dead leaves from the Stairway to the Sun? However, Sheyan quickly understood the implication of this guy's words, and immediately looked at Old Alam and said in surprise:
"Does it seem that you have any other methods?"
Old Alam thought for a while and said:
"Among our royal family, there is also an ancient ritual passed down a long time ago. This ritual is called Babu Babra. It is a unique method for our royal family to use the ladder of the sun. Both the Ouroboros tribe and the Sun tribe are
Relying on the power of the withered leaves of the Sun Ladder, Babu Babra took another approach."
"You should also know that the mother plant of the Ladder of the Sun is a very cruel plant and will kill its own offspring by hand. However, our ancient method was applied to the dead offspring of the Ladder of the Sun.
However, those offspring were all killed by the mother plant, and your current offspring is not only half-dead, but has also been bitten by an ouroboros. I cannot guarantee that the ancient method will be effective. More importantly,
Yes, even if the Babu Babra ritual is successfully performed, the mortality rate of this method is still very high, and it is also very painful."
"Then what happens after it succeeds?" Sheyan suddenly said: "Since this method has been passed down, it proves that it must be useful. What happens after it succeeds?"
Old Alam recalled:
"I can't use your language to describe the power gained after success. It is completely different from the power gained by the Sun Tribe and the Ouroboros Tribe. Their changes in themselves are not big, but they can make thousands of people
People lose their lives without realizing it.”
Sheyan thought for a while, took a deep breath and said:
"You tell me the method first, and I'll think about it."
Old Alam got rid of the entanglement of the Ouroboros and was in a good mood, so he agreed to Sheyan's request, but he took out a very ancient rope from behind, with many ropes of different shapes densely tied on it.
After seeing this scene, Sheyan immediately remembered an ancient custom he had heard about: "Knotting ropes to record events"
This method of inheriting history and culture may seem bizarre, but in fact it has existed in various ancient civilizations with long histories.
There is a saying in the Book of Changes: "In ancient times, people tied knots to rule. In later generations, saints used the Book of Changes to write contracts, hundreds of officials used them to rule, and all the people used them to observe."
The way of tying knots usually follows the principle: "If the matter is big, tie the big knot with the rope; if the matter is small, tie the knot with the small rope. The number depends on the number of things."
And this custom is not unique to China. Indians also have similar practices. Of course, if you want to interpret the knots of different sizes into words, you can only rely on the oral instructions passed down from generation to generation in the clan.
Old Alam's rough fingers caressed one knot after another, and gradually immersed himself in the realm of communication with the ancestors and gods. The language uttered in his mouth was mysterious and distant, with a bit of Sanskrit singing, even though
You don't understand even a single word, but a strange melody melts into your heart.
After a while, Old Alam said to Fang Senyan:
"The methods used by Babu Babra are very cruel, and once started, it is impossible to stop. If it is unsuccessful, then you will become its food and slowly watch it devour your body. This process may even
It will last until the sun rises and sets twice, are you sure you want to accept it?"
The sun rises and sets twice, which is a full forty-eight hours. Listening to old Alam's slow voice, Sheyan couldn't help but feel upset in his heart, and coughed:
"Then... I mean what will happen if I feel that I can't bear it anymore and I have to use external force to stop it?"
Old Alam said with certainty:
"The most likely possibility is that you died together with the person who presided over the ceremony. The other possibility is that Babu Babula's ceremony failed and you were unable to gain power. The records of the ancestors are very detailed, and the ceremony was not completed in the middle.
If you can be disturbed by any factors, once you are disturbed, you will fail."
Obviously, Sheyan's idea was to return to the nightmare space and forcibly repair his body as soon as he realized something was wrong with this ritual. But now it seems that this plan can only save his life, and the ritual will inevitably fail. At this time, he
, in fact, there was not much choice, so I had to bite the bullet and go for it.
"Are you really sure you want to perform the Babu Babra ceremony? I have to tell you that the larvae of the Sun Staircase used by our royal family are all malnourished and dead, unlike the larvae you have now.
, not only does it grow very strong, but it seems that it is possible to survive even if it is seriously injured, so the possibility of problems is quite high."
"I understand, let's do it." Fang Senyan was already riding a tiger.
Seeing that he must persist, Old Alam shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Okay, wait, I have to look for records about Babu Babra."
Sheyan took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes and waited. He didn't hear any movement from Old Alam for more than ten minutes. When he looked up, he saw the guy scratching his head in shame and said:
"I'm really sorry. I left the ritual records about Babu Babra at home. Wait for me here. I'll go back and get them right away..."
Fang Senyan:
"…….You might as well take me with you later."
Logically speaking, Sheyan cannot leave within five kilometers of the Dubai Swamp, otherwise he will be forcibly teleported back. However, under the leadership of Old Alam, this rule was broken. However, after arriving at the Port of Qom, there were also prompts in the space.
You can only move within the Port of Qom. If you leave, you will be teleported back to the nightmare space.
At this time, the pirates had already set sail and returned to the Caribbean. They wanted to return when the wind was favorable, so that they could avoid bumping on the sea for at least half a month. Their morale was high after returning with a full load, and they must be speeding up their voyage.
There is no doubt that old Alam has absolute authority among the tribe. After he returned to the tribe, he first ordered the tribe to prepare things, then went around to find some weird medicines, and finally put it in his steeple thatched hut.
After rummaging around for a long time, he finally took out something from the basement. Sheyan was shocked when he saw this thing. It was a shrunken head.
This head has obviously undergone special treatment. It has been strangely shrunk to the size of a fist. The surface has a brownish-red color. Because the oil in the skin has leaked out, it feels smooth when touched, as if it has been waxed.
Generally speaking, due to severe dehydration, the facial features are squeezed together, giving the appearance of a ferocious grin.
After seeing this head, Sheyan realized that these guys in Port Qom were also very barbaric cannibals. It is estimated that this scary thing has occupied the "sausage" and "ròu" of modern people in the diet of these indigenous people.
status. Could it be that the old guy realized that his physical strength was very high and he had to hit the tip first to replenish his physical strength?
Unexpectedly, old Alam looked very respectful to this head. After lying on the ground and praying devoutly, he was still mumbling words. A native next to him introduced him with "Wow!"
, Sheyan then realized that this head actually belonged to Grandpa Alam. It was made like a shrine or a spiritual tablet to show respect.
After Old Alam picked up the shrunken head and soaked it in clean water, he could see that there were a large number of hair strands in the scalp that absorbed enough water and spread in the water, looking like a braid.
It seemed that when the water stopped completely, the hair on the back of the head was soaked and spread out, forming a braid with many knots.
Old Alam squinted his eyes and struggled to pronounce some syllables that Sheyan could not understand. He looked very focused and struggled to identify the knots in the braid and analyzed the meaning expressed in them. At this time, Sheyan wanted to throw them away.
Give him a pair of old Huā mirrors. If this old guy remembers it wrong, won’t he be the one who suffers?
Fang Senyan couldn't help but sigh when he saw his actions. Such a method of recording secrets was indeed jaw-dropping. Even if he stole this shriveled head that he knew was of great significance, he would definitely not understand its meaning.
After a while, old Alam's mouth twitched and he looked at Sheyan and said seriously:
"Are you really sure you want to perform the Babu Babra ritual?"
Sheyan said angrily:
"I will answer you for the last time, I am sure."
The name of the chapter I was harmonized that day was, yòuhuò. How many brothers guessed it correctly?
Haha, finally I’m asking for a recommendation vote.
