The book continued last time, Chu Xunyu and his group continued to move forward in the center on the second floor of the Golden City, and no longer dared to open the sealed houses around them at will. After more than half an hour, they finally saw a shadow. It was in the dark, with a large black outline, lush and green, like a lush tree. Chu Xunyu frowned and said, "Be careful, there must be a fraud that can grow such a dense tree in this environment."

When I came close, I saw that the so-called towering maple tree was just a description. It was not a plant at all, but a maple statue poured out of bronze. It was extremely large in scale, and it was filled with things and a stone tablet was erected. Miao Buyan walked up to him and checked it, telling everyone that the maple tree was used for sacrifices. Because the maple tree has a unique status in southern Xinjiang, Zhuang Zhuang ordered people to cast a maple tree totem that said "not rotten for a thousand years, not rotten for ten thousand years" is erected here. Most of the things placed around are sacrifices from various races, and they all have different meanings.

When he approached the tree, he saw that the things under the tree were not placed casually. On the contrary, bronze cast many magic platforms, with many formations engraved on them, and many remaining traces of burnt. Chu Xunyu poked with the hilt of the sword and said strangely: "Who is casting spells here?"

Mu Yuan circled the big tree several times and shook his head: "It's all occupied by things, and there seems to be no trace of going up. It's possible that Master Mingdian has never been here."

Wangchen smiled bitterly and said, "It's reasonable that he doesn't come here. We are bringing Yan'er here to relieve the food. Master Mingdian is fine, but no one has been put on the food. Why are you here to come here?"

"What should I do?" Mu Yuan was confused. " Should I recite a magic trick or some exercises? You can't stand under the tree and shout "Understanding the cup" and really help us solve it."

This bronze maple tree is actually really good in terms of craftsmanship. It has branches and leaves, and coupled with the copper rust for many years, a thin layer is attached to it, like snowflakes falling on the treetops, and thousands of threads turn into hollowed-out patterns. It’s like a fog looking at the flowers, which makes people feel distressed but not real.

Miao Buyan thought for a while and tried to touch the tree trunk with her hand. Dao Yuxin asked, "Do you feel anything?"

After a while, Miao Buyan took off his hand and got nothing but copper rust in one hand. Dao Yuxin said with some annoyance: "Is it wrong for you to interpret the ancient Miao text? Or are the vicious people in the ancient Dian Kingdom talking nonsense?"

"It shouldn't be." Miao Buyan shook his head, "I checked it several times. The above clearly stated that I would come to the tree to pray, and the divine tree will resolve it with the spirit of the ancestors."

"Then this is not nonsense." Chu Xunyu became anxious and pointed at Mu Yuan and said, "It's like going to a temple fair. The monk inside advised us to donate incense money and kowtowed for a long time and said that sincerity will make us feel good, and the Bodhisattva will help us."

Mu Yuan hurried over to correct it: "You said two things wrong. First, faith is a kind of spiritual sustenance, which is only effective for those who believe..."

"We are not discussing faith now, thank you." Chu Xunyu refuted.

"Then let's talk about the second point. You just said that you have to kowtow after donating incense money. What about now? Do we also have to kowtow?"

"You mean..." Everyone was stunned.

Mu Yuan smiled proudly and pointed out the key point: "There are many magical tools used by Master Chu. Should we also do something to sacrifice?"

"It makes sense." Dao Yuxin rarely gave Mu Yuan a smile of agreement, "The little monk is smart, and this is reasonable."

"Then please, Master of the Great Village." Wangchen signaled.

Dao Yuxin walked around the big tree with his hands behind his back, and bent down from time to time to check. Because the formation was engraved with ancient Miao texts, Dao Yuxin wanted to interpret it for her. Dao Yuxin frowned and shook his head when he heard it. Chu Xunyu was not idle either, and used his sword blade to scrape the copper rust on the Shushan Mountain because the words were vaguely engraved on it, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it.

Mu Yuan was really thief. He poked the sacrifices with a stick and looked around to see if there were any treasures. He said he had seen a ghost. Mu Yuan didn't recognize any of the things placed here. Some seemed to be cups, some seemed to be bones, and some were even more strange in shape. He couldn't say anything. Mu Yuan slapped his mouth and looked very unhappy. He sat on a table and shouted: "These cup masters have such unique hobbies, and they don't even have some decent things."

Chu Xunyu joked, "It's all different for everyone. You like to eat sweet things, and there are people who like to eat spicy things. It's nothing wrong."

"They love are strange enough." Mu Yuan took out a skull from under her butt in anger. "Can you build a stool in bronze for us to sit? Do you have to get a strange head mask to scare people?"

"Mask?" Chu Xunyu took it and wiped the dust on it. After a closer look, it turned out that the shape of this thing was really strange. Wangchen came over to take a look and asked, "What is this? One eye, a fox's mouth, a collapsed nose. What kind of religious god does this mean?"

"This is not made of bronze." Chu Xunyu was the most familiar with this kind of thing. He reached in and touched it for a long time, and shouted in surprise, "This is really the skull after the death of a living creature, not a mask at all."

"Don't chat, come here quickly." Miao Buyan shouted on the other side.

Mu Yuan was playing with the skull and was about to speak, but was interrupted and had to go over and take a look together.

It turned out that Dao Yuxin had a Dai family in many Dharma Taichung. She herself was a Dai family, so she was most familiar with these things. The patterns engraved on them were similar to those on her skirt. This was the religious belief of their nation. Through Miao Buyan's explanation, it can be seen that the stead here was built almost covered the beliefs of all ethnic groups at that time. Southern Xinjiang has lived in many ethnic groups since ancient times, so it is not surprising that Dao Yuxin could use the Dai method to activate this formation. Wangchen asked: "What is this formation for?"

"I don't know." Dao Yuxin replied simply, "It's old and nowhere to be identified."

"Then let's stand farther." Mu Yuan quickly pulled Chu Xunyu and stood back.

Dao Yuxin signaled everyone to retreat, and then arranged the things scattered on the table one by one according to his many years of knowledge of great masters. He brushed away the dust on it with his hands. You could see the neatly carved magic array. When some things were missing, he took them out and tried to make up for them. Finally, a magic array of about three feet inches were formed. Dao Yuxin used fire to light up the six torches inserted on it. Everyone looked carefully. It looked like a small house of the Han people. It was built with three torches above, two in the middle, and one on the top. It looked like stars arching the moon. Suddenly Dao Yuxin stopped and looked around, as if looking for something. Miao Buyan pointed to Mu Yuan with his hand. Dao Yuxin walked over and stretched out his hand without doubt. Mu Yuan handed over the skull helplessly, and said to Miao Buyan in a low voice: "Master, this thing turns out to be a treasure, don't forget that I found it."

At the top of the altar, Dao Yuxin piled up many things similar to bones, and then gently placed the one-eyed skull found by Mu Yuan at the top, and then used a sharp knife to slash his palm, allowing blood to flow down and pour on the skull. There was no movement for a while, and I couldn't help but feel a little strange. I looked back at Miao Buyan, waved her hand and drew blood on her, and then reacted. The pile of bones from top to bottom squeaked. Dao Yuxin asked Miao Buyan to stand far away, and slowly swept the skull with his hand, muttering words. As Dao Yuxin's hand passed by, the flames on the torch burned all the way. In the end, the entire altar was surrounded by flames. Dao Yuxin's hands became faster and faster, and the flames burned more and more vigorously. Dao Yuxin's face became more and more black patterns, until his eyes were pitch black, and he shouted: "Open!"

With a "puff!", the entire square under the maple tree was ignited. At first, it scared everyone, but then something was wrong. All the flames were burning in an orderly manner. The square under the maple tree was actually a large formation. The fire was raging, and the fire was very powerful. I climbed up the maple tree directly. The towering tree was covered with flames. Good guy, it seemed that every branch and leaf were burning. This kind of sacrificial sacrifice of alien religions was indeed different. Everyone looked up and seemed to be much smaller.

Many formation patterns appeared on the ground under everyone's feet. Mu Yuan asked Miao Buyan in shock: "What should I do next? Master, do you want to jump in?"

"Nonsense!" Wangchen didn't care about his demeanor, and even Chu Xunyu's idiom that often answered Mu Yuan came out, "Will people jump in and be burned to death?"

"Look at you're anxious." Mu Yuan glanced at him in anger, "I'm so anxious to turn against my brothers before I've married me?"

"No, no." Wangchen's old face turned red, "I mean truth, people cannot jump in, they cannot jump."

Mu Yuan was making jokes, but there was a change on the other side. After Dao Yuxin initially activated the formation, he stopped and the black lines on her face faded. She raised her head and looked at the top of the tree. Suddenly, the black lines on her face crawled out uncontrollably. Dao Yuxin was surprised. There was obviously a strange movement. There were many cracks on the skull, and there was a faint fire in the cracks. Dao Yuxin felt a deep feeling of uneasiness. This uneasiness came from this skull. She retreated. The eye sockets of the one-eyed skull were full of flames, as if laughing at herself.

Soon her uneasiness turned into reality. Large clusters of flames began to fall among the branches and leaves of the copper tree, and the flames falling on the ground began to slowly squirm. Dao Yuxin suddenly thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Get out of here!"

But it was too late. Chu Xunyu and the others turned around and ran outside. Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the edge, the flames in front of them suddenly rose, as if a fire wall blocked the way, and the hot pillar of fire soared into the sky blocked the front. Mu Yuan was lifted and rolled back, and even the tip was burned. This formation used the flames to draw out another space. After Chu Xunyu understood, he jumped back without saying a word, and appeared in front of the altar. He overturned the altar and sprinkled pots and pans all over the floor. However, the formation had not yet dissipated. Dao Yuxin shouted angrily: "It's useless, this is 'long', we activated the 'long' formation."

"Long" is a product derived from the religious beliefs of alien races in ancient times. As we all know, the Han people believed in "witch" in ancient times, and then went through the battle of the gods and entered the era of the controversy of hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period. Finally, with the passage of the times, all things finally returned to the current, making "Tao" a unique star. Before the Battle of the Gods, people, ghosts and gods lived in the era of "witches" and the three realms were not divided, so the world was in chaos, which led to the later theory of "Treasures". At that time, the southern border was far away, what did people believe in in ancient times? It was a primitive religion, that is, the era of people, ghosts and gods lived in the southern border. However, they did not have Jiang Ziya and did not have the gods to draw boundaries. Who would complete this historical change? It seems that the answer is clear now, that is, Zhuang Zhuo.

After Zhuang Zhuo came to southern Xinjiang, he found that southern Xinjiang still had the belief in the primitive religion in ancient times, which was very similar to the "witch" era in the Central Plains. It was primitive, rough, barbaric and powerful. He was both happy and afraid. These forces made him feel like he had come to a brand new world. The people here had unique and powerful powers, but they lived a backward and primitive life. They were multi-ethnic and incompatible with each other. They each had their own territory and were often used to each other.

What was Zhuang Zhuang's greatest contribution in the fight in the year? That was to unify the southern Xinjiang, a place where many ethnic groups live together, and establish the first dynasty on this crowded territory. The Han people had a Qin Shihuang. What were the actions he made after unifying the world? Unify the words, unify the weights and measures, etc., Zhuang Zhuang? The same is true. He unified everything, took all his strength to his own use, and pushed the crow to the peak, which made the crow art dominant in southern Xinjiang.

"Long" is what the Dai people believed in at that time. It is the unique religious culture of the Dai people. It is similar to the "Witch" of the Han people. It is a primitive power. The Dai people believe that the souls of their powerful national warriors will not dissipate after their death. Although they cannot survive in this world, they will continue to survive in a space called "Long". Whenever they are in critical moments of fighting with other nations, they can cast spells to drag the enemy into the "Long" space, and the heroic spirits of their ancestors defeat the enemy. Chu Xunyu has only seen this primitive religious method in unofficial history, but he did not expect to see it now. Of course, he knew nothing about it.

Looking at the ground, there were more and more flames on the ground. A pool of flames slowly stood up and turned into a personal flame monster. It was obvious that this formation dragged everyone into the "ridge" space. Logically speaking, this was a ceremony to worship ancestors, not to deal with war, so the problem arises. Sacrifices require sacrifices, but Chu Xunyu and the others did not know and were not prepared. So what should I do? It is easy to deal with, Chu Xunyu and the others should be used as sacrifices. This was the place where the Dai family masters in the Golden City worshipped their ancestors. The prepared sacrifices should be sent into the "ridge" instead of letting the priests go in and ruining themselves.

With angry roars, these flame monsters began to become more and more flexible. They could vaguely identify their facial features in the flames. This was the most brave warrior among the Dai people back then. The only thing they were good at was to fight.

A flame hero soul transformed a flame steel knife into his hand and rushed towards Chu Xunyu and the others. Chu Xunyu's belligerent personality of the Lijian monk was aroused, and he instinctively roared: "Come on!"

Holding the sword without retreating, there is no way to retreat, then you can only burn your boats to the end. You have to learn what kind of power the so-called brave warrior has. The flame steel sword and the resurrection sword collided instantly. The sword force was heavy, and Chu Xunyu's arms numb. Why is this monster so powerful? But it's not stop. The flame hero pushed Chu Xunyu's sword aside, and beat Chu Xunyu's cheek with a roll of his hand. Half of Chu Xunyu's face was charred, and he spat a mouthful of blood foam, he smiled, and asked back: "Do you like to use fists?"

The next moment, the small trace suddenly appeared, Chu Xunyu's whole body was full of blue veins, and the fist as big as a casserole was swung out directly, and a punch was directly greeted on the face of the flame hero. The power of the Manniu hit the mountain directly slapped it on the ground. Chu Xunyu blew the remaining flames on his fist and said sarcastically: "Sorry, it's just brute force, this is the only thing I'm good at."

But unexpectedly, the flames scattered around quickly gathered again and turned into human form again. Chu Xunyu was stunned. This was not good. If he continued to live, he would definitely be exhausted. The flame hero took advantage of this opportunity to be stunned and directly bumped into Chu Xunyu and flew out horizontally.

Seeing others, Dao Yuxin rushed in front, blocking a hundred, and eight bone blades on his body flew out, and a violent rotation was tyrannical, dozens of heroic spirits were rolled apart, and the flames were attached to the bone blades and flying in place, like a flame butterfly; Mu Yuan transformed into Vajra Buddha, waving his big hands to slap the flames; Wangchen protected Miao Buyan, and his body turned into white fog, and then turned into flowing clouds, avoiding the enemy.

After a while, everyone found something wrong. These things seemed endless, but soon, there were changes. All the flames kept sucking and spitting in place. The flame heroes stopped attacking and slapped the ground in place, making a powerful horn. This was the most primitive rhythm, like a war drum. Chu Xunyu and the others moved closer together, and Mu Yuan slapped the burning corner of her clothes and asked impatiently: "What's wrong?"

The flames surged at the altar. As the original horn came, a big foot stepped out of the flames, and a ferocious monster walked out, more than ten feet high. The lower body was a beast similar to a flame tiger, but the upper body was a one-eyed man, holding a spear in one hand and a knife in the other, wearing a fire in the other, gasping for smoke, a raging fire in the nose, and the war drums were pounding. Everyone looked up and was stunned. Then they suddenly realized that the skull that Mu Yuan had found was the token of the arrival of this thing.

"Vinanugao!" Dao Yuxin murmured to himself.

"What?" Mu Yuan was confused, so "I can see that this guy is very majestic and tall."

Miao Buyan explained anxiously: "Winanugao, this is Dai language, the god who is in charge of fighting in the Dai faith. This is his name. In Chinese, it means 'the fire that devours everything'."

Mu Yuan said with a sad face: "We have crossed most of China and come to southern Xinjiang to fight this pagan god?"

"This should not be the original deity." Wangchen was quite calm, "It should be similar to the current subjugation technique. He invited the clone of this pagan god."

"I don't care whether it's a clone or not." Chu Xun smiled in a tone, "No matter how you look at this thing, we can't deal with it."
