Are you looking for me?

The leading Bo beast looked up and looked at the mountain.

It stopped, and all the other beasts stopped.

This Bo beast had lived for thousands of years, and its strength was no longer at its peak, but its wisdom was accumulating. However, even after all kinds of hardships and experienced one powerful enemy after another, it actually felt palpitations for a moment when it heard this voice.

The beasts were all uneasy.

Bo looked at the mountain of the human race and the city under the mountain from a distance. It brought the fierce beasts in the Zhongqu Mountain to warn the human race not to use a name found in the classics casually, and also to break the fear in the hearts of the beasts.

The unexplained palpitations came quickly and went quickly. It could not suppress the purpose of the Bo beast's trip, nor could it suppress the anger of the various fierce beasts in Zhongqu Mountain. How embarrassed they were before because of the Shang Dynasty warriors shouting this name, how strong their anger is now.

The Bo beast let out a low roar.

So, the beast tide continued to move forward.

......…

On the mountain, the remnants of the Shang Dynasty seemed to finally come to their senses after a long time.

They couldn't help but take a half step forward and asked cautiously: "Are you the Emperor God?"

Wei Yuan raised his eyes and smiled and replied: "No, I'm not."

He glanced at the dim and regretful eyes of the Shang people, paused, and said:

"Now I can be regarded as the king of this mountain."

"I am the mountain god."

The Emperor God is the ancestor that the Shang people have worshipped for thousands of years. Wei Yuan did not intend to shamelessly occupy this name and the piety of the Shang people. All he needed was the spiritual veins that were ignored in the Shang Dynasty's ghost and god worship.

Take what others don't use, and then repay with what the other party needs.

He saw clearly that this should be an equal transaction at the beginning.

Stealing the offerings of other people's ancestors, sitting on the throne with complacency, receiving the sacrifices and prayers of the former and the later generations, and saying to the world, oh, I am a god, how great, but in the end it is just a trick of thieves and thieves.

The stone sculpture decorated with gold powder is just stone after all.

A boy who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old lowered his head and murmured with some disappointment: "It turns out that he is not the emperor god..." The middle-aged man next to him quickly reached out and pulled him to stop talking. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Wei Yuan swept the dust, spread his hands, and said in a relaxed tone:

"Of course not, I am just an ordinary mountain spirit now."

"Thank you for your sacrifice, which gave me a physical body."

Wu Yu didn't know what to say. Wei Yuan's flesh body had just been molded out, so they saw that the young Taoist priest just sitting cross-legged at the place of sacrifice, moving his five fingers, really With the majesty and greatness of the legendary emperor, Wu Yu gritted his teeth, stepped forward, touched his chest with his hand, and asked humbly:

"Mountain God, can you preside over the sacrifice?"

Wei Yuan replied: "Of course."

He paused, stretched out a finger, and smiled: "One sacrifice can be exchanged for a demand equivalent to the sacrifice."

"Of course, blood sacrifice is prohibited."

If there is no request, he might be used arbitrarily. Wei Yuan did not intend to encroach on the interests and benefits of others, but he was not selfless enough to sell himself. It is better for everyone to follow this simple contract.

Of course, he still remembered that one of his goals was to stop the recurrence of living sacrifices and human sacrifices.

Fei Yu was silent.

Wu Yu showed a happy expression and said: "Can the flesh and blood of mountain and sea beasts be used?"

The young Taoist thought for a while and replied: "I don't like this flesh and blood very much."

After all, the blood and taste are a bit too mixed and not pure enough.

The voice paused, and then said: "But I am more interested in the experience of Chaoge City in the past three thousand years. Of course, some new and interesting things found in this mountain and sea world, especially those that are not recorded in the Shanhaijing, I am very interested."

Wu Yu and Fei Yu both breathed a sigh of relief.

If the mountain god who responded to Chaoge City did not need the blood of those powerful beasts, then the tribal warriors would not need to venture out hunting, and many fewer people would be sacrificed every year.

They were happy in their hearts, but everyone subconsciously ignored the weight of the sentence "not recorded in the Shanhaijing".

At this time, Wei Yuan felt that there was another movement next to the spiritual vein of this mountain.

Muffled whistles, roars, and roars.

It was like some kind of powerful beast.

Moreover, it was very close to the spiritual vein. That consciousness even had a natural hostility towards Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan frowned. He thought about it, put his palm on the mountain, and his consciousness dived, slowly approaching the position of the consciousness near the spiritual vein.

Wei Yuan's consciousness traveled through the mountain very easily and naturally.

He passed through the thick rock wall and entered the side of the spiritual vein. There was actually a large naturally formed hole. Under the colorful stone wall, there were large pieces of bronze inlaid as steps and supports, with embossed Taotie patterns on them.

It was very strange, almost like an ancient and solemn altar.

In the darkness, a huge and weak consciousness seemed to be still asleep, but Wei Yuan could feel that perhaps because of the sacrifice, or perhaps because of the combination of the spiritual vein next to it and his own decree, the spiritual energy overflowed, and this consciousness was slowly awakening.

Wei Yuan frowned slightly.

This situation was a little beyond his expectations, giving him a headache.

He didn't expect that there would be no problem when the imperial decree was merged.

Only when he came here in person did he find out.

If it was somewhere else, he wouldn't bother to care, but this time it was beside the spiritual vein. Now the imperial decree and the spiritual vein have just been initially merged. If there is a problem, it will be troublesome.

Wei Yuan's consciousness gathered a shadow in the mountain. Standing in front of the rock wall, he stretched out his hand to touch the rock. Darkness has no meaning for the soul. Wei Yuan saw that the first stone slab was a mural with simple brushstrokes. There was a majestic altar painted on it. At the bottom of the altar were people kneeling, densely packed and black.

The steps spread upwards, and the highest point actually broke through the clouds directly, as if in the sky. The top of the mural had already peeled off. Only a throne could be seen high in the clouds. Warriors wearing armor and holding bronze spears pulled a group of men tied with ropes to a higher place.

Is it a mural describing ancient sacrifices?

Is this the abandoned altar of the Shang Dynasty?

Wei Yuan was thinking, and there were doubts in his mind. He planned to continue to look and solve the problem here, but he heard a low roar in the wind. The sound was continuous. After the first roar like a dragon or a tiger, there were hundreds of roars in response.

Moreover, the voice at the head always sounded familiar.

Wei Yuan took a look at the place where the altar seemed to be abandoned, and had to suppress his doubts for the time being. His consciousness returned to his body outside Chaoge City. With his eyes open, he heard panicked whispers and roars. Wei Yuan looked out from a high place and saw trees broken and wild beasts gathered in groups and ran towards him, which was magnificent.

Wu Yu's hands and feet were cold.

Chaoge City could resist a group of beasts of this size, but even so, it would certainly mean a fight and sacrifice that was too tragic to bear the memory. The tribe, which was already weakening, would probably be completely devastated. It was not that he did not have the courage, he was just afraid that after he died in battle, how many people in the tribe would be sacrificed.

He suddenly had an idea, turned his head, turned his back to the beast tide, bowed to the calm young Taoist, and kowtowed heavily:

"Mountain God, you said that a sacrifice can be exchanged for your promise, right?"

"Please lead these beasts away."

"The current Chaoge City can no longer withstand this impact."

As if awakened, the remnants of the Shang Dynasty bowed one by one, and Wei Yuan, who had just withdrawn all his consciousness from the belly of the mountain, looked as if he had pondered for a moment, or had been waiting for Wu Yu to say this, and then nodded and said:

"Of course."

"Then, the contract is done."

Wei Yuan felt that when these remnants of the Shang Dynasty prayed, the consciousness in the belly of the mountain had a strong sense of struggle, but when Wei Yuan himself agreed, the feeling of struggle eased a little. Wei Yuan had already had some guesses about the consciousness that was like a demon monster.

He looked from a high place at the Chaoge City that struggled to be reborn in the ruins.

He brushed off the dust on his clothes, stood up, and his robe fluttered slightly.

"I should do the next part."

He said, and then took a step forward,

Falling.

? ! !

Wu Yu almost subconsciously took a step, wanting to reach out and pull.

Suddenly, a majestic wind rose from the bottom to the top. The strong wind blew Wu Yu and Fei Yu's black hair, making their eyes sore. They almost subconsciously took a step back, then the second step, and the third step.

Have you ever seen the real wind, the wind that is arbitrary, like a sword splitting the sea of ​​clouds?

They forced their eyes to open wide, and then, accompanied by the magnificent mountain wind, they saw the clouds and mist rushing up to the sky, and saw the bright sun.

They saw the wind running over the mountains and whistling past the tops of the forests.

They saw the eagle flapping its wings in the wind.

They saw the young Taoist who claimed to be a mountain spirit, with his hands behind his back, stepping away.

Cut off the clouds, and bear the sky.

......

Many fierce mountain and sea beasts gathered in front of Chaoge City.

The Bo beast walked in the front, and the warriors of Yin Shang City, even though they knew they were not of much significance, still held their weapons and stood in the front, holding their weapons tightly. Then the old and young in the fortress city walked out of the door in silence and held their weapons.

Staring at those fierce beasts.

At this juncture, humans can often burst out the purest courage.

For some reason, the Bo beast stomped its feet uncomfortably, and said:

"I don't intend to kill you."

"It's just that you violated our taboo."

Seeing that the Bo beast could speak human language, an old man on the human side said: "What taboo?!"

The Bo beast's eyes were deep, and it said indifferently: "A name."

The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he forced himself to say: "What name?"

Bo Long said: "You have used that name before, you know."

"You and I are both creatures living in the mountain and sea world. It is normal for us to be enemies and fight each other, but you should never mention that taboo name. You have angered the mountain and sea tribes."

"Hand over the person who spread that name, and those who have used this name, otherwise you will pay a greater price."

The old man was silent, and there was a young man behind him who wanted to go out, but was stopped.

He clenched his weapon and said, "We are not used to throwing our own people out and living on our own."

"Live and die together."

But at this time, a man jumped down from the city wall. The people in this border town had no time to pull him down, and they found that it was a stranger, a teenager. The old man's eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to jump down without thinking, but he was pulled down by the wind.

The teenager stood on the ground, raised his hand, and smiled:

"Ah, that name was spread by me."

The beasts were angry, but the leader, Bo, suddenly felt his hair explode.

A snake with wings on its back said, "Who are you?!"

"Don't you know that person is taboo?!"

"I really don't know."

The young Taoist took two steps forward, and when he raised his eyes, the illusion was activated, or perhaps this body was originally a combination of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the earth energy of the mountains, so when he raised his eyes, his black hair seemed to turn white, his eyes were deep and quiet, his face had wrinkles, and his tone turned plain and old, imitating the tone of that life:

"I still don't know when my name became a taboo."

"Why, who can tell me? I'm listening."

The beasts were instantly silent.

Bolong sniffed the smell of the soul, stared at the pair of deep eyes, and almost returned to his childhood experience. He felt his scalp tingling, suddenly let out a long hiss, turned around and ran, stepped on the clouds, and all the beasts subconsciously turned around and ran away.

The knowledge passed down from generation to generation by the soul can preserve the picture.

Now the ancient humans appeared directly in front of their eyelids, and even the smell of their souls was exactly the same. The impact was so great that they almost lost their ability to think, and their choices were almost instinctive. The remnants of the Shang Dynasty were overjoyed, sad, and happy, and their faces were almost crying with joy, but they saw Wei Yuan, who had changed into an old look, raised his eyelids and said in an old voice:

"Stop."

He said slowly: "I let you go?"

The beasts suddenly stopped.
