Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 947 The Golden Tree
  When Shi Qing heard the Great Elder's instructions, he didn't say anything, just nodded, and then tried his best to resist the invasion of the ice soul's cold air, and slowly approached the Yu Yuan seal, but his back was to the seal, and he was facing the mountain on the top of the mountain. Fuso sacred tree.

The great elder then slammed the wooden cane that never left his hand onto the ground. The round and smooth wooden cane, which had no edges and corners, just stood there as if it had been inserted into the ground.

Then the great elder took out a simple and pale short bone dagger from his waist with his left hand. He resolutely held the blade of the bone dagger with his right hand and slashed hard. A deep wound with bone visible immediately appeared on his skinny palm. , the bright red blood gurgled out in an instant, but contrary to the principles of mechanics, it did not drip to the ground, but just gathered in the palm of the great elder.

The great elder's old wrinkled face was slightly distorted by the severe pain, but the movements of his hands did not stop. He raised his blood-covered right hand and began to outline words in the void in front of him.

In the void, the characters outlined by the bright red blood are not seal characters, bronze inscriptions, or even oracle bone inscriptions, but a completely incomprehensible character, composed of lines like twisted insects, as if they are constantly changing and squirming. There is no stereotype.

At the same time, the great elder's lips began to murmur, and the surroundings heard prayers that seemed to be whispered in a low voice whose content could not be heard at all. They were vague and indistinguishable, but also ethereal and melodious.

Along with the great elder's prayer, Shi Qing, who was wearing complicated and gorgeous jewelry, began to dance gracefully.

Different from the Central Plains dance, which has elegant and light movements and gorgeous postures, the dance performed by Shi Qing is a shamanistic dance to worship gods. It is simple and primitive, but full of vitality and vitality.

At this time, on the top of Shushan Mountain, the Fusang sacred tree that was shaking slightly in the wind suddenly emitted speckled golden light. The three-legged golden crow on the branches of the quiet and independent sacred tree also let out a loud cry, fluttered its wings and took off in a circle. , even the sun hanging high in the sky seems to be more dazzling at this moment.

Under the sacred tree, the last line of defense in Shushan - Yu Yuan's guards looked at this scene, their eyes could not help but turn red, and they all knelt down in front of the sacred tree.

They all knew that the Sun Festival... had begun.

The Great Elder and Her Royal Highness the Princess may have to leave them first.

At the same time, among the rebellious troops at the foot of the mountain, the three members of the Yin and Yang family who were crossing the battlefield and walking up the mountain invariably looked up at the top of the mountain.

The eyes behind the veil of the Moon God twitched slightly and said calmly, "Sun Festival... It seems that the great elder of Shushan and the princess of Shushan don't need us to deal with them."

On the other side, Yan Lingji, who was helping the Qin army deal with the Shushan defenders, or trying her best to save the lives of the Shushan tribesmen from the Qin army in her own way, caught a glimpse of the strange behavior of Yueshen and the others from a distance. She was confused and casually He knocked out a Shushan man who was approaching and threw him into a safe corner. Then he rolled his eyes and followed the Luna and others.

At this time, Gu Xun stood at the top of a big tree, looking at the seal of Yu Yuan from a distance, looking at the great elder of Shushan and Shi Qing.

He didn't want to disturb the two of them in continuing their mission in the last moments, but he also didn't want them to die without anyone to see them off. After weighing this, he hid in the distance and watched everything silently.

He could clearly feel that the originally silent divine power of the sacred tree was becoming active little by little with the movements of the two of them, but at the same time he could also clearly feel that the aura of the great elder was weakening little by little.

Shi Qing's dance became more and more crazy and powerful, and even she herself began to glow with sparkling golden light.

The wooden staff in front of the great elder stretched out a series of whiskers, twisting and twisting into the body of the great elder. The pain on his face became more and more obvious, and the only trace of blood almost completely faded, replaced by a pale color. , but the movement was not affected at all.

Correspondingly, the light around the hibiscus sacred tree on the top of the mountain also intensified, becoming dazzling and dazzling. The shining golden branches and leaves danced leisurely, exuding an intoxicating vitality.

The three-legged golden crow hovering in the sky kept shouting and screaming, and its dark feathers emitted golden-red fireworks, like a born sun.     Finally, the sacrifice comes to an end.

The Great Elder of Shushan recited the last prayer, wrote the last word of the sacrificial inscription, drained the last drop of blood, and used up the last bit of strength.

The wooden staff, which exuded an emerald green light representing vitality, also completely enveloped and swallowed the great elder at this moment.

With a last smile, the great elder lost his last bit of vitality, merged with the wooden staff, and dissipated between heaven and earth.

At the same moment, Shi Qing finally finished his dance. With a smile on his face, he followed the great elder and turned into a golden butterfly in a brilliant light, fluttering its wings and flying away.

On the top of the mountain, the brilliance of the Fuso Sacred Tree also climbed to the top as the ritual was completed, reflecting the entire sky into a glorious splendor.

At this time, the three-legged Golden Crow completely turned into a ball of scorching sun, hanging high in the sky like the real sun. After a cry that shook the mountains, it crashed down and merged into the Fusang sacred tree that turned into a golden tree.

Then, everyone seemed to feel a vibration, and the golden light that filled the sky and the earth suddenly exploded, shattering into dots of golden light, covering the entire mountain from top to bottom.

Most of the light fell into the back mountain, and under Gu Xun's gaze, penetrated into the ice soul cold air formation, and finally merged into Yu Yuan's seal.

The remaining small part is directly integrated into the bodies of all Shushan people, and will heal all their injuries. Even those who are dying have been greatly relieved and are no longer in danger of life.

Unfortunately, the Qin army had completely broken through the Shushan defense line at this time. Most of the more than a thousand Shushan tribesmen guarding the mountain had been captured. Even if they recovered from their injuries, nothing would change... In other words, even if they recovered from their injuries, there would be another battle. , the ending will not change much.

The only good thing is that they don't have to worry about dying from their injuries.

The three Moon Goddess who had just climbed to the top of Shu Mountain, and Yan Lingji who followed them, witnessed this process with their own eyes in a rare and almost dumbfounded manner.

The Qin army, which had just finished the battle at the foot of the mountain and was preparing to clean up the battlefield, broke out into a big commotion because of this spectacular scene, which was like a god coming to the world.

This is the Sun Festival in Shushan that is rare in thousands of years.

It's a pity that Gu Xun has no intention to shock the power displayed by the Fuso tree, and he has no interest in caring about the riots that broke out in the Qin army.

At this time, he just silently picked up his beloved erhu, took the strings and bowed, and played a melodious and sad piece of music.

This song was his final farewell to these two old friends.
