Westward Journey into Dragon

Chapter 70 Wraith King

The altar is a unique building used to worship heaven, earth, gods, and pray for blessings.The priests integrated their perception of heaven and earth (gods) into it, and sublimated into unique concepts, such as orientation, yin and yang, layout, etc., which are all perfectly reflected in these buildings.Sacrificial activities are a dialogue between man and god, and this dialogue achieves the echo between god and man through rituals, music and dance, and sacrifices.Of course, such an altar is used for formal sacrifices. Blood sacrifices and soul sacrifices are used to sacrifice and refine magic weapons. They are not only methods of magic, but also evil sacrifices.Regarding the prostitution sacrifice, the sages defined it as: "Sacrificing to someone other than what they sacrificed to is called prostitution sacrifice. Prostitution sacrifice is no blessing."

What Chen Xian wants to sacrifice is the sunken pillar, which is neither heaven and earth nor gods.

Formal altars are raised on flat ground, with particular attention to orientation, yin and yang, and layout, that is, where to build them, when they will be completed, and what they will look like when they are built. There must also be specific etiquette, music, dance, and sacrifices during the sacrifice.The altar of adulterous sacrifices is also particular about its location. It should avoid geomantic treasures and auspicious points, and choose evil places to set up. After all, most of the gods (objects) of adulterous sacrifices are ghosts with unknown origins and ordinary cultivation, which cannot be suppressed. Feng shui; if it is yin and yang, choose a place with the back of the sun and face the yin, and even build it underground or in a dark room. In short, it cannot see the light;

Chen Xian took out a compass, turned around Yinfeng Ridge twice, and finally found the Shayan (unskilled in business) of this Yinsha land, and built a square earth platform with a height of three meters and a side length of ten meters on it. On the earth platform there is another small earth platform three feet long, one foot wide and two feet high, which serves as an altar for offering sacrifices.After calcining the earthen platform and altar with fairy fire until it was comparable to iron and stone, he carved some ghostly symbols on it, densely packed, with patterns covering the entire earthen platform and altar, and a simple altar was arranged by him.

Although those ghost symbols are rigorous and thorough, they are not imbued with spiritual energy, they are just the most common lines.But he was afraid that if he poured spiritual energy into it, the altar made of mud would collapse, and now it will not be fired. It can be detonated only when the sacrifice begins. At that time, there will be nine hollow pillars to suppress the altar, so it is not afraid that the altar will be destroyed.

Chen Xian took out the nine hollow pillars and laid them out in the direction of the Eight Trigrams of the Nine Palaces. He calculated the time and found that the time had just passed, so there was plenty of time.After taking a deep breath, he took out the jade bottle containing the blood of the goblins and the gourd containing the wraith, uncorked the bottle, placed it on the altar, stepped back from the altar, and injected a stream of immortal energy into the previous ghost painting talisman.

After the immortal yuan poured into the ghost painting talisman, the lines of the runes lit up one by one, and a strange energy rose up, covering the entire altar inside.

boom -

There was a sound of thunder in the sky, but no lightning was seen. The corner of Chen Xian's mouth twitched, thinking that there was such a strong hidden aura of evil spirit in the secret channel, but he didn't have to worry about thunder.

After that strange energy enveloped the altar, the nine hollow pillars suddenly vibrated, and faint lights of various colors appeared on the dark surface, sky blue, earthy yellow, fiery red... and the eight hollow pillars in the middle kind of light.

After vibrating for a while, the hollow column stopped suddenly, and the light on the surface shrank suddenly, as if it had turned into a black hole, emitting an amazing suction force, sucking out the blood of the goblins in the jade bottle one by one, and sucking it into the column among.

Seeing that the Blood Sacrifice had already been launched, Chen Xian hissed, and secretly sighed that it would be good for the evil sacrifices and the prostitutes. There is no need to build an altar with great fanfare, the sacrifices do not need to bathe and burn incense, do not need to write sacrificial texts, and do not need to kneel on the ground to burn incense and worship, which saves a lot of trouble. The effect is quick, but the cost is a bit high, so it is not recommended to promote it.

With the continuous influx of colorful goblin blood, the nine dark hollow pillars shaped like black stone carvings are like abstract oil paintings painted on. Various colors of paint are dotted on the surface of the pillars in a disorderly manner, making Chen Xian dazzled and dizzy. I don't know why.

More and more demon blood poured in, and a cloud of blood suddenly rose above the nine hollow pillars, and it continued to expand. The bloody smell from it made Chen Xian feel sick to his stomach.He hastily used the secret method to shut down his olfactory system, and frowned at the blood cloud on the hollow column.

That cloud of blood was the waste blood that was discharged after most of the essence was absorbed by the trapping column.Although it was waste blood, it contained a lot of energy and spirituality. Chen Xian thought it would be a pity to waste it, so he had better think of a way to turn waste into treasure.Well, why not use these waste blood as the main ingredient, add some hundred-year-old Chinese herbal medicine, refine it into a blood essence pill, and give it to the monsters below the Nascent Soul in Wolong Cave to enhance their strength. By the way, they are all old employees, so they should also be sent out. Some benefits are given to them, so as not to drag them down and lower the overall quality of Wolong Cave.

Just as the method was thought out, the nine hollow pillars absorbed two-thirds of the blood of the goblins, and suddenly rumbled and shook, waking Chen Xian up from his contemplation.He stared intently, and saw many hairline-thick cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of those sunken pillars, but in the blink of an eye, they covered the pillars, and then a layer of stone skin fell off with a clatter.

"Oh, promoted?" After feeling the aura from the hollow pillar, Chen Xian became a little surprised. He didn't want to think that only two-thirds of the blood of the group of demons could make the hollow pillar advance to a high-grade fairy weapon. Even if he had known, he would have The monsters in the cave should be allowed to bleed more, maybe they can upgrade the trapping pillar to a top-grade fairy weapon!

After being promoted to a high-grade fairy weapon, the speed at which the trapping pillar absorbs the blood of the demons soared ten times in vain, and it only took about twenty breaths to absorb all the blood in the jade bottle.

Chen Xian sensed the aura of the sunken empty column again, and found that after absorbing the other third of the blood essence, the aura only strengthened a little bit again, and he couldn't help frowning, thinking that according to this rhythm, even if the sacrifice of the nine Only Wraith, the hollow pillar can reach the mid-level level of a high-grade fairy weapon at most, but it is two steps lower than my own calculation.This thought flashed through his mind, and with a thought, the jade bottle on the altar flew into the air. With a turn of the mouth, it faced the blood cloud above the hollow column, emitting infinite suction, and quickly sucked the three-mile-long ball into the air. Suck it into the Fangyuan blood cloud bottle.

When Chen Xian used the jade bottle to collect the blood cloud, after absorbing the blood of the group of goblins, the hollow pillar was glowing with dots of various colors of light. It spun around three times before stopping, and the light on the surface dimmed.

After the starlight on the surface of the hollow column disappeared, a strange energy fluctuation was emitted, and a heavenly immortal-level wraith with a human body and a donkey's head was sucked out from the yellow gourd.After the wraith was sucked out of the yellow-skinned gourd, it was pulled by the strange energy, and the dark body twisted continuously, making piercing screams.

With a sound of "bang", the spirit body of the resentful spirit collapsed and turned into resentful soul power, which was divided and eaten by nine hollow pillars.

"puff--"

After the hollow pillar absorbed the resentful soul power, it was silent for a few breaths, and the strange energy fluctuations also stopped.But after ten breaths, there was a sudden "poof", and nine puffs of black air like wolf smoke spewed out.This black gas is the strange gas that the resentful spirits have absorbed for thousands of years and combined with their own resentment. (Exhaust gas) let out.

The black air rose into the air and instantly merged into the previous waste blood, staining half of the remaining waste blood black, like soy sauce.

With a thought in Chen Xian's mind, the suction from the jade bottle stopped and stopped sucking the blood cloud on the hollow pillar.These waste blood mixed with black air has become real waste blood. If you use it to refine medicine and take it, it will definitely be assimilated by the black air and become the second wraith.

After the trapping pillar absorbed all the soul power of the wraiths, the blood cloud had completely turned into an ink cloud, a black cloud made of ink.

With a thought, Chen Xian used the yellow leather gourd to collect the black blood cloud.Although this black cloud can no longer refine the panacea, it is the best raw material for making a poisonous magic weapon, or it can be refined into a poisonous pill, which is faked into a peerless elixir. It's also good to shade people when necessary.

After putting the jade bottle and yellow leather gourd into the storage ring, Chen Xian stepped onto the altar and came to a hollow pillar.Looking at the gleaming hollow pillar as if dotted with colorful lights on the surface, after feeling the unique breath of high-grade immortal artifacts from it, he nodded expressionlessly. , the difference is too far.

After retracting the nine hollow pillars into the storage ring, the earthen altar, which had lost its suppressive aura, exploded with a bang, kicking up countless dust.

Chen Xian's immortal energy surged, pressing the dust that was about to scatter back to the ground. He stood in the void and said loudly to the void in front of him: "Since you are here, why don't you show up and see?"

It turned out that at the beginning of the blood sacrifice, when the sky thunder exploded, the ice dragon curled up on Chen Xian's right wrist suddenly shook, and sent him a message that a Xuanxian-level master was flying towards Yinfeng Ridge at high speed.

After hearing the news, Chen Xian asked Bingjiao to pay close attention to the movement of the Xuanxian, while he concentrated on presiding over the ceremony of the sacrificial offering.Fortunately, the time of the blood sacrifice was not long, but the time for half a stick of incense was over, and the Xuanxian had just arrived at Yinfeng Ridge.

Chen Xian originally thought that Xuanxian would fly over directly to snatch the hollow pillar, but he didn't expect the other party to enter invisibly, touch the place ten miles away from the altar, and stand still until he put away the hollow pillar, but he still didn't show up, I don't know what he was planning , he had no choice but to testify.

Under the blessing of Xianyuan, the voice fluttered and resounded for ten miles around. Chen Xian believed that as long as the other party was not deaf, he would be able to hear it.But what surprised him was that the other party didn't respond to his words and remained invisible.

Chen Xian frowned, wondering if this girl thought she was just a fairy and couldn't discover his existence?He was a little speechless, so he had to say again: "Friend Xuanxian ten miles away, you don't have to hide behind the stone hunched over, I can see your every move clearly!"

Through the method of seeing and hearing from heaven and earth, Chen Xian found that Xuanxian was a guy wearing a black robe and could not see clearly. Far superior to the Wraith of the Heavenly Immortal, it is reasonable to say that it should not be able to give birth to spiritual wisdom, but it is really puzzling for him to be able to stealthily spy on it.

"Jie, Jie, Jie..." After the invisible black-robed man let out a laugh like a night owl, he floated up from behind the stone, and flew to stand three feet in front of Chen Xian in an instant, looking down at him with a very A sharp voice said: "It's not easy to find Lao Tzu in this place full of resentment, you little angel!"

"Wraith?" The black-robed man's face was hidden under the huge hood, and he couldn't see what it looked like, but Chen Xian could clearly see his blood-red eyes emitting red light. They were a pair of grievances. , the eyes that want to destroy all things, the eyes that are the same as those of Yinfengling Wraith, he immediately knew that Xuanxian was a Wraith, but what made him strange was, as a Wraith that wiped out his wisdom, how did this guy do it? regained consciousness?
"Jie Jie Jie... Wraith? That's right, I am Wraith, the king of Wraith here! You have killed so many of my subordinates, I will give you two choices. First, swear allegiance to me and be my slave!" Slave; second, die, become the wraith of this place, and become my slave!" The wraith king said with a smile, but his voice was indescribably cold.

Chen Xian pouted, full of disdain. Is there a difference between the two choices?A little Xuanxian, or a ghost (resentful spirit) specially restrained by Zhenshenyin, dared to speak wild words in front of him, he was really impatient to live!He said domineeringly: "I am King Yujiao. If you offend me, I will give you two choices. First, swear allegiance to me and be my slave; second, resist and I will beat you to death." If you can't take care of yourself, then you can become a spirit ghost and be my slave!"

"Boy looking for death!" After the Wraith King roared, his body moved, and he floated in front of Chen Xian like a ghost, raised his dark right hand, and grabbed his head...
