Chapter 1474: The Great Universe (II)
Chapter 1480 The Great Universe (II)
"Fei Xiong! Fei Xiong! Fei Xiong!"
A vaguely familiar voice came into Su Wu's ears intermittently, and he could hear the anxiety and uneasiness in the voice.
The voice seemed to want to remind him of something, hoping that he would escape from something.
But the voice could not convey the specific situation to him, so it called the name he had used before over and over again.
Following this name, Su Wu remembered something - this familiar voice, wasn't it Hei Hu?
Hei Hu's nature turned around on its own?
He was carrying the destiny of Qingshi. According to the last hexagram he had asked the old blind man Zhang to calculate before his death when he returned to Qingshi, Hei Hu's fate was dark, and the opportunity to break the situation was not in the situation... How could he wake up on his own?
When Su Wu thought of this, those complicated and scattered thoughts in his mind suddenly gathered together, and his chaotic and empty nature suddenly regained its clarity!
He suddenly poked his head out from the bottom of a deep lake. When he opened his eyes, he saw himself standing by a newly dug pit wearing a golden armor!
Where is this?
Su Wu changed his mind and turned his eyes to take in the surrounding scene.
Wooden poles were inserted into the floating soil around the pit. Black and white flags were hung on the poles. Under the flags, people in simple clothes gathered.
Most people's clothes were quite primitive and rough, but the material of the cloth could be seen.
They were tied up with straw ropes and knelt on the edge of the pit.
Behind them, many soldiers wearing only a golden breastplate or a golden breastplate stood with swords.
The swords in the hands of those soldiers were also reflected by the sun.
Such weapons and armors that were shining golden under the light were not made of gold, but the original color of bronze.
Among the crowd of people standing around the pit, Su Wu's presence was particularly obvious.
——The clothes he wore were very exquisite, and there were even symmetrical patterns on the collar and cuffs.
In addition to the beautiful clothes, he was covered with a full set of bronze armor, which covered his knees and held a bronze spear in his hand.
This kind of attire was unique among the many people present.
Su Wu speculated that his status here should be very high.
Woo——
At this time, a gust of wind blew.
The strong wind brought a strong smell of blood, and a sound of drums and music came into Su Wu's ears with the wind. He turned around, glanced at the armored soldier holding an axe blade standing behind him, and looked at another place——
All around, the trees were shady and the grass was lush.
Not far away, near the river, large tracts of farmland have been reclaimed. Thatched huts are stacked next to the farmland. There are few people there, and the crops in the fields are sparse. I don't know how much harvest there will be.
Nearby, several earth pits have also been dug next to the big earth pit where Su Wu stood.
Those soldiers wearing simple armor are waving tools and shoveling the loose soil around the earth pits into the pits.
In the deep pits with moist soil, rows of corpses overlap each other.
Their blood dyed the soil in the pits red. From time to time, flies and insects would fly into the pits and eat the blood of the newly dead bodies.
The corpses died in different ways.
Some were split in half, some had their hands and feet cut off and their chests pierced, and some had their heads chopped off...
All these horrific deaths were unbearable to watch, but many of the living people present were already accustomed to such scenes, and even - in the middle of the four large earth pits, there was a small tripod standing, with firewood burning under it, and steam rising from the tripod. In the rolling steam, human heads, hands and feet appeared from time to time...
The body of a person was being cooked in that bronze tripod!
It was not until Su Wu noticed the bloody corpses in the earth pits arranged in a "field shape" and smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the bronze tripod that he suddenly realized - this place was full of blood, and some limbs and bones were randomly lying in the grass. The weeds were soaked in blood, making them look even more emerald green.
There were even wisps of hot air floating from the limbs lying in the grass!
Su Wu gradually realized what kind of place he was in.
Behind the bronze tripod, a man wearing a wreath of wild flowers and branches and clothes made of various animal skins was twisting his body wildly and dancing a very primitive dance.
The man with the wreath on his head should be a "priest".
The priest's face was painted with blood and various mineral fuels. The meaningless lines made his face look gloomy and terrifying.
Under the scorching sun, the patterns on his face began to wriggle, like a snake head with a bloody mouth.
While he was dancing the primitive dance, he was muttering something in his mouth. Su Wu could vaguely hear words such as "serving", "Eastern God", and "sacrifice".
At a certain moment, the priest's movements stopped abruptly, and he closed his mouth and stopped making any sound.
Between heaven and earth, a certain aura suddenly floated and entangled the priest who was shaking like he was electrocuted!
The priest covered his abdomen with both hands, leaned down suddenly, and vomited balls of purple-red flames from his mouth!
Su Wu looked at this scene with a stern look in his eyes——
He could not see any trace of cultivation from this priest. In his spiritual consciousness, the other party was just an ordinary person with mortal body!
But the other party twisted his body at will, but he attracted the blessing of 'Heavenly Charm'!
Mortals can indeed communicate with heaven and attract the charm of heaven. Su Wu could also understand that the priest was extremely talented. With his own sacrificial dance, he was able to communicate with the sky and attract the charm of heaven. But what Su Wu found unbelievable was that as the priest continued to vomit out lumps Purple-red flames, behind the priest, suddenly appeared a figure of a purple-clothed woman spitting out a snake letter. The 'purple-clothed woman' flew high on a ray of divine charm falling from the sky.
The strange charm of the 'woman in purple' suddenly seemed to be the same charm as the divine charm descending from the sky. The two originated from the same source!
The charm and charm come from the same source? !
Heaven is the biggest mystery - heaven and man, each has its own origin - for a moment, all kinds of thoughts rippled in Su Wu's mind. He looked back on his past experiences and thought of how King Su had learned from the true charm in the prison. With the words he left behind!
These speculations that failed to find definite evidence now have traces to follow!
Then this priest, who sacrificed so many human animals, could it be the purple-robed Li Gui who breathed out the snake letter? !
Li Jui was not imprisoned, and the priest did not seem to have contained it within himself. The two were more like a mutual companionship. Li Jui did not have any constraints, but he was able to leave easily without releasing the law of death. , without hurting anyone still alive at the scene? !
As Su Wu's thoughts raced, the purple flames vomited from the priest's mouth gradually extinguished.
There was still a cold and mysterious charm circulating in the gradually dimming flames. Even the priest did not dare to touch the flames spitting out of his mouth easily. He waited until the purple-red flames were completely extinguished before burning them black from under his feet. A pair of tortoise shells was dug out of the soil.
The copper nails on the tortoise shell have been completely melted, but because those copper nails first left wounds and cracks on the tortoise shell, more cracks spread along the cracks left by the copper nails under the burning of the purple-red flames. Come, eventually forming a mysterious pattern.
The priest held the tortoise shell high.
Su Wu saw the cracks on the tortoise shell, which looked like the word "use".
What is the profound meaning of this divination pattern?
As soon as a thought flashed through his mind, he saw the priest holding the tortoise shell high and shouting with piety: "The destiny black bird, descend and give birth to Shang!"
business!
Dayi merchants!
The current period is indeed the Shang Dynasty!
Like a thunderbolt passing through Su Wu's mind, he was even more sure of the era he was currently in - it was just that he had clearly fought against Xiang'er's true form during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, and in the end, because Xiang'er was 'parasitized' on him, he had no choice but to use demons to fight against him. How could he suddenly appear in the Great Shang Dynasty by cultivating Taoism and Dafa to overcome the tribulation and reshape the balance between heaven and man in his body? !
As Su Wu recalled it, he felt his own specific situation.
He only had time to scan himself with his sexual consciousness and see the rough situation inside his body, when he saw the priest holding the tortoise shell suddenly turned around and faced him.
The priest in strange clothes and with strange patterns on his face stared straight at Su Wu. Suddenly he pointed at Su Wu, who was covered in shiny armor, and shouted: "Use cuttings to build the 'Temple of Heaven'!"
His words seemed to determine Su Wu's next fate.
Su Wu looked at the soldier behind him who was holding a bronze sword. At this moment, he realized that the bronze sword in the soldier's hand was very exquisite. The blade was sharp and the handle was engraved with complex and exquisite patterns.
This sword is a sharp weapon.
What the sacrificial priests meant by "using cuts" was to order the soldiers to cut off Su Wu's head with a sword.
Those who attack will be beheaded.
After the priest passed down the specific funeral rituals for Su Wu, the highest-ranking and noblest 'human sacrifice' in the room, he looked at the other slaves kneeling beside the pit and said: "Human sacrifices are made with the mao !”
Mao, cut the sacrifice in half vertically to make a sacrifice!
The priest gave an order, and behind the slaves kneeling by the pit, there was a sound of drawing out swords and axes.
Many soldiers waved their swords and axes, and shouted together: "The destiny black bird, descend and give birth to Shang!"
After shouting like this three times, they raised their weapons high, ready to kill the slaves in front of them to sacrifice to the so-called 'Temple of Heaven'!
At this time, even though these slaves were extremely numb, they couldn't help but struggled and tried to escape when they were on the verge of death. At this moment, Su Wu suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far to near. The sound approached here and suddenly sounded like a drum!
Ponies pulling the bronze chariot behind them burst into the field!
On top of the chariot, a black and white flag symbolizing the 'Dayi Merchant' was hanging in the wind.
Under the flag, men with helmets and armor stood like a forest.
Among them, the first armored soldier, who was fully equipped with armor, was as good as Su Wu, a high-ranking man who died. He waved the exquisite bronze ax in his hand and shouted to the sacrifice and all the armored soldiers in the field: "The king has ordered that the useless man be martyred!
If you disobey the king's order, you will be destroyed! "
What the general on the chariot meant was that the king had ordered that the system of human sacrifice be abolished. Anyone who disobeyed the king's order would have his whole family killed!
The soldiers who had been ordered by the king suddenly entered the arena. The soldiers standing by the pit, whose armor was obviously much simpler, did not dare to act rashly for a moment, and turned their attention to the priest wearing a wreath behind the cauldron. The priest saw the soldiers who were obviously much more powerful and majestic compared to them burst into the field, and his expression did not change much. The colorful oil paint on his face was squirming like a snake, and he uttered cold words: "The king ordered to protect foreigners. , but does not protect our sect!
We have already sacrificed many people to the Temple of Heaven. If we stop now, we will be punished by death.
Rather than that, we should capture these people and sacrifice them to the Temple of Heaven!"
As soon as the priest finished speaking, a cold and slippery aura emanated from him. He obviously did not control the evil spirit at this moment. From his wide-open mouth, a purple-red snake tongue suddenly slithered out. The snake tongue wrapped with a cold and slippery aura suddenly rolled up the fully armed soldiers who had received the king's order, causing their bodies to suddenly shrink and be rolled into the priest's mouth and swallowed on the spot!
The soldiers on the chariot lost their leader and were suddenly in a panic. They drove their chariots on the plains and rushed around!
And the soldiers on the priest's side, They brandished their weapons, chased and surrounded the chariots!
They also had strange auras on them, and all kinds of strange auras gathered into a dark mist, covering the plain. In the mist, whether it was the armored soldiers belonging to the priests or the armored soldiers belonging to the "king", they all showed their true means!
Both sides showed various strange and strange forms such as corpse swelling, rotten corpse, beast, and bone, and fought endlessly in the mist!
The white skeleton as big as a house held a shriveled corpse in its mouth, and with its white teeth interlaced, it chewed up all the strange auras on the corpse. Absorbed, the armored soldiers who lost the strange charm turned into minced meat;
The rotten corpses stood in the black fog, causing the corpses buried in the pit to rot, and the incomplete limbs gathered towards it, gathering the evil rotten corpses into a meat mountain. Under the sweep of a single arm formed by countless arms sticking to the corpse water, several corpses suddenly disappeared!
These armored soldiers who seemed to be ordinary people in Su Wu's eyes suddenly showed all kinds of incredible means!
When Su Wu looked at them again, he did not see any traces of evil parasitism on them!
Although they used the strange charm They showed all kinds of strange and weird appearances, but they never controlled them. Where did the strange charm they relied on to show their strange and weird appearances come from?
This strange charm did not cause any harm to the Shang Dynasty soldiers. It naturally fit them and could even be transformed into the "heavenly charm" occasionally!
In this world today, heaven and weird are already confused.
Even the strict boundary between humans and weird is gradually becoming blurred!
And all these signs, Su Wu intuitively felt that they were closely related to the "Temple of Heaven" that the priest frequently mentioned. Could it be that the "Temple of Heaven" is a temple dedicated to the sky? !
