Fairy Hunting

291 - Worshiping Immortals
Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo did not enter the city immediately.

Instead, they waited until dark, then walked around to a mountain peak and sneaked in quietly.

The city is very large and has many buildings, but most of them are relatively simple, not luxurious, and are all stone houses.

But the number is extremely large. Judging from these stone houses, there are at least hundreds of thousands of mountain people living in this city.

That's a staggering amount.

Because according to records, in the past, the mountain people were scattered into small tribes. The small tribes only had a few hundred people, and even the large tribes only had tens of thousands of people at most.

A tribe of tens of thousands of people is extremely rare in the mountains of 10 people.

At least, there are no relevant records in this area close to Yunzhou.

It was definitely formed by many tribes coming together.

What kind of power, or in other words, what kind of existence can bring tribes large and small together?
The key is, what is the function and purpose of bringing so many tribes together?
"That place is brightly lit, let's go take a look."

Shen Yinuo pointed to the center of the city.

Dangdang.
At this time, deep in the city, a bell suddenly sounded.

Then, many mountain people walked out of the house and rushed towards the center of the city, that is, the brightly lit place.

The dense crowds were like ants returning to their nests, countless.

The two waited for a while and saw that there was no one around them. Then they calmed down and headed towards the brightly lit place.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

The two jumped onto a three-story building, lay on the roof, and watched from a distance.

All that came into view were human figures.

It is estimated that the entire city's mountain residents are here.

These mountain people gathered around a circular square, kneeling on the ground, respectfully.

In the middle of the circular square, a huge altar was built, more than ten meters high, and a statue was placed on the altar.

The statue is about two meters high and has a strange appearance.

The upper body is in the shape of an adult, with a pair of wings on its back and two horns on its head.

The lower body is a snake's tail, covered with scales.

The statue stretches out its hands with a loving look on its face, as if it is embracing all living beings.

At this time, two young women walked onto the altar and stood on both sides of the statue.

These two women, with delicate looks and splendid long skirts, are very different from the mountain people.

"Sacrifice, let's start, bring the sacrifices."

One of the women spoke, her voice clear and clear, echoing far away.

Immediately, a group of strong mountain men led one figure after another onto the altar, and then threw these people on the altar.

These people were obviously martial arts cultivators, but their limbs had been broken and they were lying on the ground struggling needlessly.

"Several of them, judging by their clothing, are from the military armies of Prince Ming's Palace, but the others are not, and come from other forces."

Lu Yan secretly thought.

The Prince Ming's family was not the only one to come to the Shiwanda Mountains in Southern Xinjiang to develop resources. Many nearby princes, and even princes far away from each other, had people entering the Shiwandashan Mountains in Southern Xinjiang to develop resources.

These mountain people obviously attacked more than just Prince Ming's family.

After these martial arts cultivators were brought along, some strong men brought along strange beasts.

These strange beasts also had their limbs broken, but they were not killed and were allowed to struggle on the altar.

Then, eight old mountain people walked up, naked to the waist, and their bodies were covered with dense lines of wish power.

Eight old men, holding strange sticks, rotated around the altar, gibbering in a language they couldn't understand.

Then, hundreds of thousands of mountain people at the scene, with pious expressions on their faces, prostrated themselves on the ground and uttered chirping sounds.

As these incomprehensible words sounded, Lu Yan felt an unspeakable pressure emerging between heaven and earth, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

hum!
Suddenly, the statue on the altar vibrated slightly, emitting a gleaming light, and the light became stronger and stronger, and finally it was as bright as the sun, lighting up the night.

The endless light, like threads, has some kind of wonderful connection with hundreds of thousands of mountain people.

As these mountain people spoke strange languages, they seemed to have some special power and converged towards the statue.

On the statue, some kind of power is expanding rapidly.

At the same time, on the altar, the martial arts cultivators and alien beasts were shrouded in a layer of light and let out shrill wails. Their bodies were aging and decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into mummies.

When the wind blows, these mummies turn into dust and fly with the wind.

Then, the power gathered by that statue became extremely powerful and transformed into some kind of special power. Part of it returned and poured into every mountain citizen.

The intensity varies.

After each mountain man obtains this kind of power, lines of wish power appear on his body, some are more or less, some are deep and some are shallow.

But one thing they have in common is that after receiving this power, all the mountain people showed intoxicated and satisfied expressions.

"Thank you to the Immortal Lord, the Immortal Lord's magic power reaches the sky and he is immortal."

Hundreds of thousands of mountain people praised in unison.

"Is this the legendary sacrifice to immortals?"

Shen Yinuo whispered, a little incredible.

"What is offering sacrifices to immortals?" Lu Yan said in a message.

"Do you still remember those relics left by the Great Ancient Dynasty? There were altars and statues there. Based on these relics, the world calls the period before the Great Ancient Dynasty the Ancient Period."

"Many people speculate that in ancient times, immortals were the rulers of heaven and earth, and humans believed in immortals. From time to time, they would hold activities to sacrifice to immortals, in order to generate the power of wishes, which is called worshiping immortals." "Just now, when these mountain people were making sacrifices, they had They possess some kind of special power, and coupled with the lines of wish power on their bodies, it can be seen that this power is the power of wish."

"It's just that since the establishment of the Great Ancient Dynasty, there have been no immortal sacrifices in the world. The remaining immortals are dormant in the immortal ruins. They seem to be unable to go out and have lost the power to hold immortal sacrifices."

"Now, how come it's okay?"

Shen Yinuo explained via voice transmission, frowning.

Lu Yan was moved in his heart and said, "You said that the immortals are dormant in the immortal ruins and cannot go out. They have lost the power to hold sacrifices to the immortals. Why is this?"

"Do you really think that I, Bai Xiaosheng, know everything?"

Shen Yinuo rolled his eyes at Lu Yan and said, "I have only seen a few words in an ancient book, and the author of that ancient book only speculated that after the establishment of the ancient dynasty, the power of the immortals was greatly weakened and they could only lie dormant. He is lingering in the Immortal Ruins, but I don’t know why.”

"I haven't heard of the immortal worship activity for so many years, and now it has reappeared. I have a bad feeling, and I always feel that something terrible is going to happen."

Shen Yinuo's brows wrinkled deeper and deeper.

"No, be careful."

Suddenly, Lu Yan felt a warning sign in his heart.

But when he saw the statue, his eyes shot out two beams of light, like two peerless swords, shooting out of the sky.

One of them struck Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.

The two of them jumped forward and retreated hundreds of meters in an instant.

boom!
The three-story building just now exploded into pieces.

The other beam of light struck in another direction.

With a bang, smoke and dust filled the air, and a figure rose into the sky.

It turned out that it was not only Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo who were hiding in the secret, but also others.

"They are outsiders who want to destroy the sacrificial ceremony. If you kill them, the Immortal Master will definitely reward you."

Next to the statue, a young woman screamed.

"kill."

"Kill them."

Countless mountain people screamed crazily, with blood-red eyes, as if they had seen fragrant steamed buns, and rushed towards Lu Yan, Shen Yinuo, and one other person.

"Walk."

Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo retreated quickly, not wanting to get too entangled with these mountain people.

But that statue was glowing like a supreme master, mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth. The energy surged and gathered above the heads of Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.

Whoa!

Suddenly, several bolts of lightning struck Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo from above their heads.

The lightning illuminated the night and split the night sky. It was so fast that Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo were struck before they had time to react. Their bodies smashed directly into the ground, leaving two large pits in the ground.

Fortunately, both of their real bodies were extremely powerful and they managed to resist, but they were also in extremely embarrassed condition, with fluffy hair and black smoke all over their bodies, like beggars, and they also smelled of meat.

The energy above the head continues to surge.

The two of them didn't dare to be careless, so they unleashed all their strength.

Shen Yinuo sacrificed the Great Sun Furnace and suspended it above his head.

As for Lu Yan, seven top body-refining martial arts broke out at the same time.

Boom!

Two bolts of lightning, as thick as an arm, continued to strike at the two of them.

This time, Lu Yan was prepared and struck upwards with strong palm force, but the palm force could not completely block the lightning. The remaining lightning struck Lu Yan, and Lu Yan's body was covered with fine lightning, and his whole body was sore and numb. .

But that's it.

And Shen Yinuo also blocked the lightning with the help of the Great Sun Furnace.

But after such a blockage, dense crowds of mountain people had already rushed over.

"kill."

"Kill these people who blaspheme the Immortal Lord."

"Kill them, the Immortal Master will reward you, and we will have eternal life."

The mountain people roared, their eyes were red and they looked like they were crazy.

Those with weapons wielded their weapons to attack, and those without weapons struck with their fists.

"A group of cultists, kill them."

Lu Yan shouted coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes. Without holding back, he moved the Cold God Palm and pushed with both palms. Two cold currents came together and struck out. Suddenly, dozens of mountain people were frozen into ice sculptures.

And Shen Yinuo used the Great Sun Fist, and the hot fist force came out, and the bodies of the mountain people burned. However, these people seemed not to know the pain. Even if their bodies were burned, they still rushed towards them crazily. them.

"These people are no longer ordinary mountain people, they are monsters. Don't hold back."

Shen Yinuo said.

She could tell that although Lu Yan's attack was fierce, he still held back somewhat because the mountain people who were frozen in ice were not dead.

boom!
The Great Sun Furnace became as huge as a hill, and when suppressed, a large number of mountain people turned into dust.

Lu Yan's eyes also turned completely cold. His palms shook, and cold current surged. Many mountain people were frozen, and then flew out, fell to the ground, and fell into pieces.

The two of them kept attacking, heading outside, and in the blink of an eye, they killed hundreds of mountain people.

However, the number of mountain people was too great. They were not afraid of death and looked like crazy. They rushed in one after another and were unable to kill them.
