Chapter 195: Altar
After going through a lot of hardships, Yao Pei finally dragged his body without cultivation to the end of the Taoist Palace.
Along the way, there are not only mechanical puppets, but also various traps. Because of the special nature of this place, it will lose its cultivation level, so it is impossible to arrange for living people to stay here, and only these dead objects can be used.
Even Yao Pei has been very difficult along the way. He has been beaten to death by a puppet in the mechanism and has been trapped to death by a trap.
Fortunately, the seal of "Master Jianxiushan" gave her enough fault tolerance.
I can't imagine how ugly the situation would be without these fault tolerance. Who can complete this path with your life? Anyway, Yao Pei thinks he can't do it.
Even if there is the fault tolerance brought by the "Master of Jianxiushan" seal, Yao Pei will use up all the chances of returning the seal when he reaches the end.
In a nutshell, Yao Pei tried his best.
If there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome, Yao Pei can only give up. He can't afford to pay his life to help Qi Xuansu or oppose the Earth Master.
Therefore, it cannot be said that the place is not strictly guarded. The key is the seal of "Master of Jianxiushan".
At the end of the road is a golden hall, which seems to be made of pure gold. This is completely different from the witch-style stone hall, but it is more in line with the aesthetics of the Taoist sect. After all, both Taoist sect and Buddhism prefer the word "gold". From the golden palace to the golden elixir road, from the golden body to the indestructible Vajra, may not be the same, but it has an internal connection.
It seems that this place was the place where Xuan Sheng once lived. Even if Xuan Sheng no longer left Yujing in the later period, Yao Zu did not dare to blatantly build witch-style buildings here.
In fact, at that time, Yao Zu was alone, and at most he had a master Hengbo, and the Yao family had not yet developed. The Zhang family suffered a great defeat, and it was when they were a human being with their tails. Therefore, the Li family was the one who really made a move inside the Taoist sect, and the Li family was the conservative sect in the Taoist sect. They could not tolerate Buddhism, the witch sect, and even more so, they could not tolerate double-faced sects. They strive for a pure Taoist sect.
As for what is purity and what is impure, of course it must be defined by the Li family.
Although Yao Zu's status was transcendent at this time, he could not compete with the Li family, which was at its peak, nor could he be as rampant as the Earth Master Yao Ling.
The eight giant pillars support the eight directions of the golden hall, whether it is the dome of the hall or the surface of the giant pillar, they are all engraved with talismans.
But I didn’t see the scene that Qi Xuansu saw in his dream, there was no avenue formed by starlight, nor did I have to enter this place from the lake.
I think it was the early stage of creation at that time, and everything was very simple. After so many years of development, the Taoist sect had used appearances like the golden hall to conceal the inner dangers and chaos.
In the center of the hall is an altar - this is also the only thing with the witch-like color. The altar is only about meter high, but it gives people an infinite feeling. The ancient and vicissitudes of life are coming to your face, which makes Yao Pei feel throbbing and unable to control himself.
Yao Pei slowly climbed to the altar, and she found that her cultivation had actually recovered, including the Great Witch's bloodline.
An eye is engraved in the center of the altar, and the mark is like a blood groove.
Yao Pei hesitated for a moment and used the "Let the King" to cut his palm, allowing the blood containing the blood of the Great Witch to drip on the carvings of his eyes, gradually filling the blood groove.
Blood filled the entire eye, making it shine brightly.
Ten statues rose around the altar, all of which were not human, either bird-shaped, human-shaped, animal-shaped, snake-shaped, snake-shaped, snake-shaped, snake-shaped, or bird-shaped.
A statue also rose on the altar, with six arms born, and the posture was a bit like a peacock spreading its tail, forming a circle together.
The five hands of the statue are empty, corresponding to the second, the third "Heart of the Eternal Stone", the Earth Master's Mask, the Emperor Willow Seed, and the "Lingshan Luoshu". Only the last hand is holding a "Heart of the Eternal Stone" in it, which is exactly the first "Heart of the Eternal Stone" that Qi Xuansu has always wanted.
However, Yao Pei did not directly reach out to get the "Heart of the Stone of Eternal Life" - she had some concerns, and she was not sure what the consequences would be. If there was some connection with the Earth Master here, the Earth Master would have a sense of the moment she took the "Heart of the Stone of Eternal Life", then many of her plans would be exposed in advance, not only would not be able to help Qi Xuansu, but would even make herself a prisoner.
The Earth Master is almost crazy now. This kind of madness includes external factors such as the son of the Demon, as well as internal factors such as the Earth Master who uses any means to achieve his goal. With the addition of the two, even the core children of the Yao family are nothing in the eyes of the Earth Master, and he will abandon it if he says he abandons it.
But then again, Yao Pei has come to this point and can't go back the same way. There is no such reason.
There is not even much time left for Yao Pei, because Yao Pei's blood is being consumed quickly. After the blood in the blood tank is consumed, the place will be returned to its original state.
In the end, I still have to take a gamble.
After Yao Pei confirmed that there was no trap, he finally reached out to take away the "Heart of the Stone of Eternal Life" from the statue's hand.
In this way, all the six hands of the statue were empty.
Then the six-armed statue on the altar, together with the ten statues around the altar, began to sink and return to its original position.
Nothing seems to have happened.
Yao Pei was a little surprised. Did the earth master not leave any warning measures here?
In fact, there are really early warning methods, but this method is not connected to the Earth Master himself, nor is it set up by the Earth Master, but is connected to the Wanshou Chongyang Palace. Because the Earth Master always needs to be replaced, this Taoist Palace and the Wanshou Chongyang Palace may not change for hundreds of years, so it is naturally more convenient to establish a connection between the two.
However, the Earth Master is not in the Wanshou Chongyang Palace in Difei Mountain, but in the Zixiao Palace in Yujing.
Qi Niang replaced the Earth Master to take charge of the Chongyang Palace in Wanshou, and now Qi Niang is the largest in the entire Difei Mountain.
So when Yao Pei took the risk of taking away the "Heart of the Stone of Eternal Life", the Earth Master did not know it, but Qi Niang knew it.
Qi Niang looked at Yao Pei's actions through a light curtain. Obviously, there was no intention to stop him. Instead, an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. I don't know whether she was mocking Yao Pei or expressing her approval of Yao Pei's actions.
When Yao Pei started to return the same way, Qi Niang waved and signaled the secretary of the Earth Master to come.
The secretary naturally knew Qi Niang's identity, but he did not dare to be negligent and was very respectful.
Qi Niang ordered: "In the name of the Earth Master, let Yao Yi's daughter Yao Pei come over whenever you have time, and I want to see her."
Yao Pei is a core member of the Yao family, and Qi Niang is also a core member of the Yao family, so the secretary of the Earth Master did not think much, nor did he doubt it at all. He just thought that the two core members of the Yao family had something to say and took the order to leave.
