Chapter 40: Witch Mourning, Heaven(2/3)
Is there such a hint of horror in it?
Led by Xing Tian'e, Xiang Liubo, Fang Fengyi, Shen Gong and Li Si Gong, the important figures of the major witch families in Anyi took one or two of their close friends and guests along a wide and steep stone staircase towards the towering Tian Wu.
The temple climbed up. As they climbed up, the witches wrapped in cloaks stood far away at the foot of the mountain. It was unclear how many witches gathered into a dark sea of people, covering the entire
The mountain peaks where the Tianwu Temple is located are surrounded.
In front of Xia Hou and his team, there were nearly a thousand shamans wearing robes of various colors, with their hands in their sleeves, silently climbing up. Under the dark night sky, the cold wind blew, and black was everywhere.
The figure climbed silently, and Xiahou felt a cold air rushing into his heart. Everything in front of him was like a nightmare. Only the white claws that were close to him rested on his waist, and a little bit of cold air came from Bai's body.
The heat made Xiahou feel that this was the human world.
The Tianwu Temple has arrived.
Part of this hall is on the top of the mountain, but the entrance is on the mountainside. The main building of Tianwu Temple is a space dug directly from the mountain. A cliff four hundred feet high and two hundred feet wide has been cut extremely flat, with carvings on it
There were countless weird patterns, but most of them were related to the celestial phenomena in the sky. I don’t know what kind of paint was applied to the patterns. In the dark night, these patterns were still emitting a faint shimmer. Xia Hou even saw a pattern
The trajectory of that huge comet looks like Halley's comet.
The gate of Tianwu Temple is right in the middle of these weird patterns. It is an extremely weird rectangular hollow that is only four or five feet wide but nearly a hundred meters high.
Xiahou followed the team closely, holding Bai's claws tightly to prevent him from running away, and walked into the portal a little nervously. Inside the portal was a tunnel of unknown length. Under the walls on both sides, each
Three feet away stood a witch wearing a white robe. On top of each witch's head, there was a thumb-sized pearl floating, emitting a faint brilliance, just enough for people to see the road under their feet. Xia Hou instinctively
He lowered his head and took a look, only to find that even the floor was covered with countless complicated patterns, all of which were also complex star maps.
This passage probably goes deep into the mountain for about ten miles. The further in, the stronger the fluctuations of witch power emanating from the witches standing on the roadside. That terrible pressure made Xiahou, Bai, Xingtian brothers and even their brothers
All their fathers were trembling all over and did not dare to raise their heads. Only the first-generation elders of major families such as Xing Tiane and the second-generation elders such as Xing Tianshisan could calm down under the huge pressure of the great witches of these witch palaces.
Be calm and do not lose any sense of proportion in your actions.
At the end of the passage, there is a huge space. Xiahou is no longer interested in seeing how big the space is with the round dome and square walls that conform to the theory of round sky and earth. Anyway, under the influence of witchcraft, as long as enough witchcraft power is wasted, these great witches can
You can completely pile up dozens of mountains in this room to play with. The concept of space is meaningless here.
Xing Tiane and other members of the aristocratic family stopped in the middle of this huge space. According to their respective identities, status, seniority, strength, and the strength and reputation of their respective families, etc., they lined up in a formation under the command of more than a dozen great witches.
There was a neat team. Xiahou and the others were naturally at the bottom.
About a mile ahead, Xiahou saw a square portal on the wall over there. A steep stone staircase of probably more than a thousand steps led to the portal. The front looked like a pyramid-shaped staircase, and there were many people standing on it.
The witch Xiahou, who was wearing robes of various colors, had sharp eyes and saw the badges on the chests of the witches above. The lowest-level witches also had the symbol of the Seven Cauldrons. Standing at the end of the steps were nearly a hundred witches wrapped in cloaks. The badges were all
Jiuding logo.
Nearly a hundred Jiuding great shamans.
Xiahou didn't have a clear idea of how terrifying the Jiuding Great Witch was. But he knew that with his current strength, he was no match for the top-grade Yiding Xingtian Dafeng and others, let alone the power of the Jiuding Great Witch.
. He stood in the queue with his whole body numb, looking at the thousands of great witches standing on the stone steps, he could only marvel at the prosperity of the Great Xia witchcraft.
Xingtian Dafeng, who was beside him, looked at his nose and heart with his mouth and nose, and squeezed out a sentence from the cracks of his mouth without moving the muscles on his face: "Forty percent of the elders of the nine witch temples are present. You can't see the appearance of the one at the top of the steps.
The eight people are the other eight great witches except Lord Tian Wu. From left to right, they are the earth witch, the spirit witch, the ghost witch, the li witch, the ling witch, the phantom witch, the power witch, and the transformation witch."
Xia Hou could only nod lightly. He didn't have the ability to make a sound come out without moving the corner of his mouth. There are so many high-level wizards, but they are only 40% of the elders?
Xingtian Xuanzhi looked at the stone steps coldly, and a very thin voice came from his chest: "Let's not talk about other great witches for now, but the rumors about Li Wu are quite interesting."
Xiahou was just about to hear what rumors were so interesting, but suddenly he saw the right hand of the fourth great wizard from left to right on the stone steps shaking slightly, and Xingtian Xuanzhi's face actually let out a light 'pop' There was a sound, as if someone had slapped him in the face. Xingtian Gale, Xingtian Xuanzhi was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to make any sound again.
The whole place was silent for a while, and suddenly there was a sudden sound of wind in the air. When everyone looked up, they saw a ball of white air twisting rapidly in the air, slowly opening into the shape of a portal, followed closely by King Xia. Several men in formal clothes strode out of the void. As soon as their figures appeared, the white air slowly dissipated. King Xia's body moved slightly, and several people had already reached the top of the stone steps. .
"What's the condition of Tian Wu? Why did he suddenly report that he was in danger? A while ago, wasn't it said that he still had three years to live?" King Xia couldn't wait to ask as soon as he stood still.
After reaching a certain level of cultivation, these witches have a very clear understanding of their own life span and can calculate their death date in detail. Since the witch said that he still has three years to live, he must still be alive. Three years, instead of suddenly sending a message to the whole Anyi now, causing so many people to rush here in vain.
On the stone steps, a hazy silver light suddenly shot out from the square portal. In an instant, the entire space was shrouded in the mysterious silver light. Looking around, the entire space had become boundless, and everyone was suspended. In the vacuum, countless large and small stars flash with wonderful brilliance, making huge roars in the void, and follow an eternal fixed trajectory.
King Xia immediately stopped questioning and bowed respectfully towards the door: "Heavenly Witch."
An old man wearing a smooth silver robe slowly walked out of the door. His long silver hair moved without wind, dancing endlessly on his head like a flame. On his face as smooth as jade, two eyes were like two The sun released endless light and heat, and it was like two incandescent fires dancing there. No one dared to look at his face. The old man nodded lightly towards King Xia and said in a low voice: "It's only three years of life. Instead of wasting three years doing nothing, it is better to abandon these three years in exchange for greater benefits."
Before King Xia could speak, the old man, the leader of the Great Xia Witch Cult, the uncle of King Xia, and the master of Tianwu Hall, Tianwu, said slowly: "After my death, my thirty-sixth brother Wu Yi takes over the position of Heavenly Witch. Wu Yi has reached the lower level of Jiuding three years ago. After inheriting my inheritance, he will have the power of the upper level of Jiuding, which is enough to suppress the witchcraft. Do the great witches have any objections?"
The eight great witches under the Heavenly Witch said at the same time: "Nothing." Their voices contained extremely powerful witchcraft power, like thunder in the sky, but it was impossible to hear what their voices were like.
The Heavenly Witch laughed a few times, raised his head towards the void and asked: "Does the Lord of the Hidden Sect have any objections?"
In the void, a low and powerful voice came from a slowly rotating star pattern on the sky: "Seventh brother, if you are going to die, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and die so that I can rush back. When I first returned to the Hidden Palace , you sent someone to call Anyi again, isn’t it interesting?”
The Heavenly Witch laughed a few times, raised his hands toward the void and said, "It's so wonderful. I'll die first, and then I'll wait for you to accompany me."
The voice in the void was so angry that he snorted repeatedly, but no one could be seen.
The Heavenly Witch asked King Xia again: "Your Majesty, do you have any objection to your thirty-sixth uncle taking over the witchcraft religion?"
King Xia shook his head.
So the Heavenly Witch asked the elders of the great witch palaces again, and the elders all approved. The Heavenly Witch then asked the tribes and families represented by Xing Tiane for their opinions. These tribes and families had no objections and unanimously approved. However, Xiahou happened to see Shang Tang standing in a corner, looking curiously at the Tian Wu who was explaining the funeral arrangements. Yi Yin stood behind Shang Tang like a shadow. He had no idea about the inheritance of witchcraft power. Regardless of any interest, a pair of big eyes just kept wandering over the faces of those female witches.
The inheritance ceremony of Tian Wu is very simple. Since Tian Wu has made up his mind to abandon his three-year lifespan and die early, even King Xia or the leader of the hidden sect who does not know his origin has no right to object. Tian Wu does not have much to say. To explain, I just called the Jiuding Great Witch named Wu Yi, who was obviously much younger than him, and handed him a black stone staff about a foot long. Even if he had completed the position of Tian Wu and everything transfer of power.
Immediately afterwards, there is the inheritance ceremony of witchcraft.
Tian Wu sat on a big stone chair in the void, and Wu Yi sat cross-legged in front of him. Everyone present heard the Tian Wu's instructions: "When I die, I will lose all my witch power and all my wisdom, and part of my witch power will belong to me." Wu Yi, there will naturally be someone here who can inherit the others. The heads of the major witch families know the rules. No matter who gets the benefits, they must not be jealous or framed, do you understand?"
Everyone accepted the promise at the same time.
Then I heard the Heavenly Witch say: "When I enter death, I will exchange my three years of life for my ability to spy on the future. Three years of life is only exchange for a few words. Your Majesty, you must remember it carefully." "
King Xia frowned and shouted unhappily: "Our country is at its strongest in Great Xia, so why did the Heavenly Witch make this sacrifice for no reason?" Wu Yi, who was sitting in front of the Heavenly Witch, nodded repeatedly, deeply convinced.
The Heavenly Witch looked at King Xia and smiled: "I was watching the stars at night recently, and I accidentally felt a warning sign. I have lived for more than seven hundred years, and I have been in charge of the Heavenly Witch for a hundred years. Three years of life, what does it mean? If I can solve it, It’s worth removing the reason for the warning signs in my heart.”
After all, Xingtian Dafeng was a talkative person, so he heard him whisper again: "This generation of celestial witches are unprecedented wizards in the art of astrology. They can often see things that other great witches cannot. If he There must be a big change in his heart. In the whole Great Xia, he is the only one who can use this life-praying technique in exchange for the magical power of foresight. Even Wu Yi, who took over his position, did not have a hundred years of hard training. Not up to this level.”
Xia Hou nodded repeatedly, strongly agreeing with Xing Tian Dafeng's point of view. Isn't it right? If everyone could use this kind of foreseeing ability that can clearly see the future, the world would not be in chaos?
After hearing what Tian Wu said, King Xia had no words to say and could only retreat to the side.
Wu Yi's work efficiency is very high, and there is no red tape. Tian Wu has put a hand on Wu Yi's eyebrows, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "All witches, run your witchcraft After the spell, restrain all your witchcraft power and don't disturb my inheritance. Young witches, if all kinds of strange things happen to you, don't panic. You can just use the witchcraft skills on your own. I have suffered for seven hundred years. Don’t let the magic power of cultivation dissipate in vain.”
With a muffled sound of "bang", the long silver hair on the back of Tian Wu's head suddenly broke, exploding a silvery rain of light in the void. Seeing that his entire hand pressing on Wu Yi's eyebrows had become The silver light shone like pure silver, but it no longer looked like a physical body. Wu Yi's face twitched for a while, and his whole body swelled up as if he was blowing up a balloon. The witchcraft power that the Heavenly Witch had cultivated for seven hundred years rushed into his sea of consciousness. , it brought him no other feeling except severe pain, just severe pain.
While Tian Wu was pouring all his witch power into Wu Yi's body, he began to recite obscure spells in his mouth. With the sound of his spells, his appearance quickly became older, and his remaining lifespan was dedicated bit by bit. Go out and exchange the little gap to peek into the future with the God who controls everything in the dark.
All the witches have restrained all their auras and only focused on running their own witchcraft, keeping their minds motionless. In the entire space, there are only increasingly huge waves of witchcraft released by the heavenly witches. . Seeing streams of silver light shooting out from the center of Tian Wu's eyebrows, flying aimlessly in all directions. Wu Yi's body could not withstand all the witchcraft power of Tian Wu, and Tian Wu's death was approaching, and his Wu Power began to leak out of control.
As the witch power leaks out, there are also invisible and colorless spiritual fluctuations, which are filled with countless spells and words. This is all the knowledge accumulated by the witch in his seven hundred years of life, which is also driven by the secret method of witchcraft. They rushed out quickly. Looking at everything in front of him, Xiahou could only marvel. The Wu clan squeezed the value of a person's labor to the extreme. Seeing that the person was about to die, he still had to make the greatest contribution in his life!
The witchcraft power in Tian Wu's body fluctuates more and more intensely and becomes more and more unstable. Suddenly, his lifespan has been completely burned out, and his witchcraft has reached its peak. With his powerful witchcraft power, ancient legends have spread With the magical spell, he has opened the door to destiny.
The Tian Wu's eyes suddenly opened, and two rays of silver light shot out thousands of feet away. What appeared on his face at first was a look of panic and fear, as if a disaster was imminent. But then there was a burst of joy. , as if everything had turned around. The Heavenly Witch trembled all over and roared: "Your Majesty, it's the Ninth Prince...he..."
As if he was happy that he was about to reveal the greatest mystery about the future, a bright smile broke out on Tian Wu's face. Seeing that he was about to completely analyze the future in front of the wizards, a huge change suddenly occurred.
Outside the mountain peak, countless witches could clearly see that a strong red light suddenly shot out from the east and shot into the sky.
Countless stars in the sky are flashing rapidly, and the powerful fluctuations seem to be bringing a certain consciousness to someone on the ground. But that red light has infinite power. The red light flashes and disappears, and the sky is full of flashes. The stars suddenly dimmed. As the stars moved, a big silver star the size of a sea bowl suddenly fell down and turned into a meteor that flew towards the west.
The shamans who were waiting outside the Heavenly Witch Hall simultaneously cried out: "The Heavenly Witch is dead!"
But in the Heavenly Witch Palace, just as he was about to tell the future that made him uneasy, the Heavenly Witch who said that extremely important sentence suddenly trembled all over. His connection with the stars in the sky was suddenly blocked by an extremely weird, powerful and indescribable force. , as if cut off by the magical power of the vast power of heaven and earth, his fire of life was instantly extinguished by the power that intervened.
A strange red light flashed on Tian Wu's body. Tian Wu looked at King Xia with a smile on his face, and suddenly his body turned into countless silver light rains and scattered.
In the void, the Lord of the Hidden Sect roared angrily: "Who is it? Who is so bold that he actually broke the witchcraft of the Heavenly Witch? Who has such witchcraft power and can actually break the witchcraft of the Heavenly Witch? What on earth is it? who?"
Suddenly hearing that the Heavenly Witch's witchcraft had been cracked, all the great witches in the hall opened their eyes in horror at the same time. They no longer cared about running the witchcraft and gambling on the slightest bit of luck to absorb the Heavenly Witch's legacy.
Only Xiahou had no feelings for the Heavenly Witch. He didn't know how shocking it was for a Jiuding high-level wizard to have his spell interrupted. He just followed the Heavenly Witch's instructions honestly and dutifully. , running the witchcraft with his eyes closed, absorbing the witchcraft power and wisdom revealed by the witch before his death that may luckily come to him.
What Xia Hou operates is naturally the Sun Shooting Technique.
The practice method of Sun Shooting Technique is external and predatory.
Three small arrows condensed with mental power were shot out, and Xiahou was like a fisherman casting a net, suddenly feeling that his fishing net was filled with large numbers of fish.
Xia Hou opened his eyes in surprise, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and finally muttered: "Fuck, my luck can't be so bad, right?"
Just like the first time he practiced the Sun Shooting Technique, Xiahou was blasted into the sea of consciousness by three consecutive spheres whose quality and quantity exceeded his imagination. Huge witchcraft exploded in his mind like a nuclear bomb. The skin all over his body exploded again, and the luxurious dress and expensive jade ornaments on his body were exploded to pieces at the same time. A bloody mass of human-shaped flesh was sprayed with hot and smoking blood, 'Ouch' With a scream, he flew hundreds of feet upward into the sky, knocking hundreds of unlucky Witch Queens away. Xiahou fell helplessly to the ground, unconscious again.
There was another person at the scene who was extremely lucky to have inherited part of the extremely powerful witchcraft power from the Heavenly Witch, and that was Shang Tang, who was standing in a corner in a daze.
However, Shang Tang obviously has a much better foundation than Xiahou. Shang Tang is at least the foundation of Ding Wu. After absorbing the huge power from Tian Wu, Shang Tang simply fell to the ground with blood spurting from his seven orifices. Although Shang Tang The blood fountain spurting out from the seven orifices was more than ten feet away, but compared to Xiahou's earth-shattering and sensational scene, the sound and light effects were far behind.
Dozens of great witches hidden in the air, covered in black robes with no skin exposed, appeared. Their badges only bore the symbols of Bading and Jiuding, but in the corner of the badges, they all had a small embroidered star. Small black stars. The leading witch roared angrily: "Immediately use witchcraft, even if you search all over the world, you must find the person who dares to destroy the inheritance of the witch! Find him and destroy his entire tribe. His tribe is on the verge of destruction." All tribes should be eradicated together!"
The angry and crazy witches took orders at the same time, turning into streams of light and flying away in the strong wind.
The great witch, the master of the Hidden Sect, was so angry that he stamped his feet on the stone steps. Suddenly a thick black wooden stick appeared from his hand, and he hit King Xia hard on the buttocks: "You are still stupid. What are you doing here? Aren't you also a great witch from Jiuding? Go and find that damn bastard! I'm going to tear him apart!"
King Xia was beaten until he groaned, but he did not dare to say a word. He led a few people behind him to summon the white air ball again, turned the air ball into a portal and left in a hurry.
The Lord of the Hidden Sect stood on the stone steps, with two groups of ghostly lights flashing on his face shrouded in a black mist. He stared at the bloody Xiahou without blinking for a long time, and suddenly he gloated and laughed softly.
: "This is the first time I know that someone can be so stupid as to actually perform the Sun Shooting Technique during the Heavenly Witch's inheritance ceremony! This kid is so interesting!"
Hearing his muttering, Wu Yi and the other eight masters of the Wu Palace glanced at the master of the Yin Sect in surprise. The master of the Yin Sect suddenly coughed a few times, pointed at Li Wu and shouted: "Little girl, go and give it to the master."
To be continued...
