Hutao uses me to judge my performance

"Where did the holy relic come from? It can't appear out of thin air, right?"

"According to what the old man said, some artifacts are filled with strong emotions. They gradually become immortal under the erosion of time and become sacred relics that can be used by others."

"Aren't there many such holy relics?"

Hu Tao shook his head.

"No, no. Not everything can survive the erosion of time.

“The first thing is that the person to whom you place your emotions must be a person with a strong and persevering soul.

"These artifacts are either carried by them, or bear witness to their stories, accompanying these resolute and powerful souls through countless years. Only such feelings can withstand the erosion of time and become holy relics."

"There are also some sacred relics that have nothing to do with people, but they bear witness to a certain period of human history, and certain beliefs and feelings of the group are placed on them, which also turns them into sacred relics."

Chapter 558 Jiang Bai who picks up trash

Jiang Bai understood.

The reason why the wine bottle in his hand became a sacred relic is because it witnessed the emperor's prosperous years, and it was also the wine set used by the seven gods to drink together. It itself has a very special significance.

This feather was dropped by the thunderbird and witnessed the whole life of the thunderbird.

Perhaps, the broken memories he saw were because of this feather.

"Master, this holy relic is for you."

Hu Tao took it and felt it, "It contains some power of Thunderbird, which can make my moves more powerful, so I kept it."

"When we go up, we have to ask Aru to see if there is anything similar in Heguan." Jiang Bai rubbed his hands. He was now very interested in holy relics.

He is no longer interested in antiquities or anything like that, he just wants to find holy relics now.

Idou was very envious. He felt that he had learned a lot, and there was actually such a thing that could enhance his strength.

"I want too!"

"No problem, I'll find the next one for you."

Jiang Bai calculated the Mora in his hand. If he wanted to use Mora to find adventurers to buy this kind of artifact, it would obviously not be enough, let alone leaving Mora to pay for the old man.

After such a calculation, it seems that the deposit of several hundred million does not count as money all of a sudden.

As soon as Jiang Bai was motivated to make money, he stuffed himself with everything he saw in the ruins, and even asked Yi Dou to help him pick up trash.

Broken porcelain pieces with patterns, broken cores of relic machinery, and some plants and trees that have never been seen before, I want to scrape them all away!

Holding a half-person-high clay pot that was dusty and cracked, Jiang Bai looked at Hutao helplessly, "Master, it can't be stuffed anymore."

Hu Tao said helplessly: "Leave me alone."

Jiang Bai decided to wait until he went back and asked the old man to refine the Sanqing Bell for him to expand the space.

The old man would not refine it and would pester him until it was refined.

A few people walked inside while exploring. The ruins became larger as they went inside, and there were various mechanisms and doorways.

It's a pity that many buildings have collapsed and some instruments have weathered over a long period of time, so no information can be obtained from them.

A few people found three more murals connected together. These murals contained a lot of information, but the painting style was different from the previous ones, more detailed and realistic.

Sky Island appeared on the mural. Stars fell from the sky and landed on three mountains. People as small as ants stood in the mountains, watching this scene in horror.

"Did the stars in the sky fall?" Yidou didn't understand.

"I don't know. It may be a depiction technique, not necessarily a real star."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Bai subconsciously thought of the Hantian Nail in the Snow Mountain, which was also dropped by Sky Island.

It's a pity that I didn't go to the three hollow mountains that Aru mentioned. Otherwise, I might be able to guess from the terrain whether the spikes that descended were those kind of spikes.

"I'm afraid I've guessed the purpose of this relic."

"What does it do?"

"It should be a shelter."

Hu Tao thought for a while and said, "It's also possible."

"Shelter? Why take refuge?" Yidou didn't understand.

Jiang Bai handed him a copy of "Once Upon a Time in Snow Country" and said, "Read it yourself."

As usual, they recorded the patterns and words, and after exploring for a while and finding that there was no way, they returned the same way.

"Brothers and sisters, you are finally back!" Aru, who was waiting on the ground, saw their return, and her eyes lit up.

"Awaited."

The feathers flew back to the perch, and the withered perch bloomed again.

"Aru, have you ever seen anything like this?"

"Here are Capachili's feathers!" Aru was a little pleased, but then he shook his head.

"Aru doesn't have Capachili's feathers."

"All right."

What Jiang Bai wanted to ask about wasn't feathers, but this thing couldn't be described.

After setting up this perch, several people followed Aru to Zhibi Island.

Jiang Bai finally saw what the inside of the mountain looked like.

Jiang Bai originally thought that the hollow mountain might be hollowed out on the inside, but the outer shell was still intact, but when he flew up and looked around, he found that the mountain was just a straight tube without a top.

It was as if something was blasted directly from the sky and plunged into the ground, creating this appearance.

"Aru, are all three mountains like this?"

Aru nodded.

Jiang Bai thought about it.

It seems that the stars falling on the mural are really the spikes of Sky Island. The civilization here built ruins underground because of fear.

But Jiang Bai couldn't figure it out, why would Sky Island lower its spikes to destroy civilization?

Touch the perch and follow Feather Jiangbai to explore the bottom of the mountain, trying to find the descending sky nail.

However, there was no Sky Nail below. Instead, they found an entrance to the ruins that connected them to the ruins they had visited before.

Without further exploration, the three returned to the ground to purify their habitat.

"Everything should be done now. Let's go to the festival."

"Brothers and sisters, you go ahead. Aru wants to stay here for a while."

"But we don't know where we are, and we will get lost in the fog. What if we miss the festival?" Jiang Bai said pitifully.

"Okay, Aru will go with the brothers and sisters."

After trekking all the way, I don’t know what time it was when I returned to the festival site.

There were many people gathered at the sacrifice site. These people retained their appearance in life and were unable to communicate or communicate.

At the top of the altar was an old man with some gray hair. Beside him were knives, ropes, and containers.

The old man looked at the hourglass on his upper hand. This hourglass was particularly gorgeous and dazzling in Jiang Bai's opinion, which was extremely primitive and simple.

It seems to be made with the finest craftsmanship and the most beautiful amber here.

Similar to it and equally beautifully crafted, there is a cup placed next to it.

"The time is coming." The old man murmured.

"Father and grandpa, I'm back!" Aru subconsciously shouted a title, but quickly changed her name.

"Aru, why are you back?" The old man looked at Aru with grief and reluctance in his eyes.

Aru smiled faintly. He had repeated this process countless times.

"Grandpa, let's start quickly. I must satisfy Capaccili!"

Thunderbirds flew across the sky and thunder streaked across the sky. The old man held the knife and shed tears.

The three people on the side watched this scene like outsiders. Knowing what was about to happen, they gritted their teeth and couldn't help but rush forward.

Jiang Bai held him down, "This is just a past impression, don't worry."

If you want to know what happened on the island, you have to watch the whole process, no matter how bloody and cruel the process is.

"Decree, seal!"

Seeing that Aru was about to take the initiative to step under the knife, Hutao raised his hand and stopped him in place, unable to speak or move.

On the high platform, there seemed to be invisible people waiting for the upcoming sacrifice.

Chapter 559: I’m so angry! I’m so angry!

The priest held an ornate vessel filled with blood and shouted to the sky.

"Lord Thunderbird, this is a sacrifice from a humble human being! I pray that you will cast your eyes on us and protect us as usual!"

People cheered and played wooden reeds and flutes, expecting the thunderbirds to accept the sacred sacrifices and chirp out the oracles as in previous years.

The wooden reed flute that resounded in the sky attracted the thunderbird's attention. It fluttered its wings and flew over. Jiang Bai finally saw the thunderbird's appearance clearly in the mist.

It was a huge flying bird covered in purple thunder.

Its eyes are like the brightest lights in the fog, and when it flaps its wings, it makes a sharp sound of thunder.

It came with the sound, but what he saw in front of him made his eyes wide open.

Its friend, the child who named it, became a corpse.

The head that was alive not long ago was now placed on the altar as a sacrifice to it by these stupid humans.

Anger, endless anger.

The sky turned red, and the anger turned into endless thunder, destroying the place and submerging the entire Heguan.

Aru looked at all this. He couldn't move or speak, but his eyes conveyed anger.

The thunder was still falling, and all the panicked people in the altar disappeared, leaving only the various gray utensils and Aru.

"I understand why this place is like this." Jiang Bai sighed.

After watching everything, Yidou felt that there was anger in his heart and he needed to vent it out urgently.

"Hey kid, don't you know they are going to kill you! You're going to join them, are you looking for death?" He yelled at Aru, not even calling her name.

The person who instigated it was dead long ago and he couldn't teach him a lesson. He could only teach this person who could teach him a lesson.

Hu Tao reached out and unlocked him.

"Why are you destroying the festival? I thought we were friends. Wuwu, I don't want to see you anymore!" Aru covered her face, her voice was crying, and she turned to leave.

Yidou took a big step, grabbed his collar, and picked him up. He was so angry that his hair was about to explode.

To this day, this was probably the most irritating thing he had ever encountered.

"Do you know what you are doing!"

Aru didn't understand why he was angry at all, he just cried.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You ruined the festival and still bullied me."

Seeing Aru crying, Ichito had no choice but to put him down and sulk on his own.

What kind of thing is this? When you think you are going to die, an outsider makes you angry.

It was unpleasant to watch as Yi Dou destroyed everything around him like he was venting his anger.

If those people weren't just phantoms, he would have to beat them all!

Jiang Bai knelt down, touched his head and sighed, "Have you ever thought that blood sacrifice is wrong? Is Capaccili really angry because they killed you?"

"How could it be? Sacrifices have been made this way since ancient times, and I am special. How could Capaccili be angry because of this?"

Aru didn't believe this was the case at all. He had grown up with the influence of festivals and had no concept that festivals were wrong.

In his understanding, if they offered sacrifices and completed the ceremony, Kapaciri would protect them.
