Chapter 899 Plateau Passage

This is not the first time that the butcher has seen a sarcophagus as an altar. He has even seen weirder altars.

This happened more than once, but many times. That is why he was able to react immediately.

However, all altars must follow certain rules.

Only in this way can the altar be communicated with and the power of sacrifice be exercised.

It is definitely not something that can be used by just taking something.

It is definitely not something that can be used by just arranging it a few times.

The reason why the butcher looked horrified was because of the finger bone and the half-broken tooth.

Although he did not know what these two things were used for, the ominous aura emitted from them made his spine feel cold.

The butcher was in a state of mind, his eyes shrank slightly, and he did not dare to move forward.

The emperor had clearly told him that the strange power was the mastermind behind the dark turmoil.

The dark creatures that caused the turmoil in the nine heavens and ten earths and the immortal realm to defend themselves were just a weakened version of the strange power. But even if it was a weakened version, it directly created four dark quasi-immortal emperors.

He is a skilled and bold person, reckless, but not a fool.

In fact, for an old monster like him who has lived for countless millions of years and witnessed countless planets from prosperity to extinction, who is really a fool?

It's just his personality, and he is extremely conceited about his own strength, so he doesn't want to think about those crooked things.

It's different now than in the past...

A more vast and spectacular world is unfolding before him.

His little Taoism is nothing at all.

There are always people better than you, so don't dare to act rashly in this occasion.

Looking up, the butcher was thoughtful and suddenly looked at the four red-painted wooden pillars.

Only then did he realize that it was not just red paint, but each one was carved with complicated totems, winding up.

The pattern was twisted and hideous, like a beast and a word.

He looked at it carefully for a long time, but couldn't understand what it meant, so he had to use his magical powers to copy all the patterns on these totems.

The butcher was extremely careful throughout the whole process.

It was something that could be done with just one thought, but it took nearly three times longer.

After doing all this, the butcher's eyes finally fixed on the incense burner, black finger bones, and black broken teeth above the sarcophagus.

There was no incense in the incense burner, but it seemed to be filled with some kind of ancient and mysterious fragrance.

This fragrance made the butcher feel dizzy, as if there were thousands of voices whispering in his ears, making his mind fall into madness.

The black finger bones were long and thin, with a faint black light on the surface. They were not just bones, but also wrapped with a layer of skin, like old dried fish that had been dried for many days, and looked very weird.

There was a layer of dark mud stains in the gap between the broken fingers, flashing with black light.

That soil...

Just a glance at it, the butcher was horrified, groaned in his heart, and immediately retracted his gaze.

The soil was even more weird.

It was just some tiny dust particles, but it looked like facing a vast and boundless world. The mind was about to be sucked in, and the ominous smell on it became stronger.

And the half-broken tooth had uneven cracks, as if it was broken off and placed here in a hurry without much preparation, and it was stained with some mud.

The strange thing was the soil.

The butcher suddenly realized.

He did not dare to act rashly, nor did he dare to use his magical powers to copy the scene here as he did just now.

His intuition told him that if he did that, it would most likely cause something unusual and ominous.

Although he did not understand what this soil represented.

But his experience over the years told him that it was best not to touch it or move it randomly, otherwise he would die without knowing how.

Fortunately, he was cautious along the way. Even when he attacked those polluted dark creatures, he stopped at a certain point and did not pursue them relentlessly.

The butcher secretly thanked himself for not acting rashly, and then he slowly retreated and was even more cautious.

Everything was normal at the altar, and no strange phenomena appeared.

The small sarcophagus was placed somewhere, and no one knew what it was used for.

After a while, the butcher exited the abyss and returned to the ground, but his whole body was soaked like a mortal.

The fog was still surging around him.

The butcher took a deep breath, mobilized all the strength in his body, cleaned his robes, and took a step forward at the same time. His figure left a trail of afterimages on the spot, and quickly rushed back at a speed several times faster than when he came.

At the entrance.

The old quasi-king stared at the black fog rolling like a tide in front of him, almost looking forward to it.

Although the black tide no longer spread outward, the dark creatures inside would still run out from time to time. Of course, every one of them was very weak. Even if they became dark creatures, their strength was increased, they were still too weak, and they were all killed by him.

This was a small matter. He was really worried that the butcher would get into trouble inside.

The other party's current identity was special. He was not only a peerless villain several epochs ago, but also a special envoy of the Holy Land.

Dual identities added.

If something happens, the consequences will not be something that a small quasi-king like him can bear.

This is also because the old quasi-king has a mellow temperament.

If it were someone with a deep mind, he would definitely hope for something to happen.

After all, even if something happens, it is all because of the strange place, and it has nothing to do with him.

And in this way, the Holy Land will naturally pay more attention to this place, and maybe the Emperor will come.

At that time, no matter who is responsible for stationing here, just follow the emperor's orders, and the pressure will be greatly reduced.

Just when the old King Zhun was worried,

A figure suddenly rushed out of the billowing black mist.

The figure was burly and powerful, as if it were coming from heaven and earth, directly pushing the tide aside.

Old King Zhun took a closer look, and after seeing clearly who was coming, he took a deep breath and hurriedly stepped forward:

"Your Majesty the Special Envoy!"

The old King Zhun hurriedly came forward to greet him, bowed and saluted, with a sense of joy in his voice, "It's great that you are safe and sound!"

The butcher paused slightly, his eyes passing over the old King Zhun, and then nodded.

The fact that the other party is able to wait for him here shows that he is a very affectionate person.

He spoke seriously and warned: "Old King Zhun, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. I have set up formations around this strange place, which can isolate it from spreading to a certain extent. On weekdays, please do not allow people to approach easily, so as not to Something unexpected happened and it was contaminated by ominous things.”

When the old King Zhun heard this, he nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice, and at the same time responded: "Senior, don't worry, I will keep a strict guard to ensure that no one trespasses."

"That's very good."

Before he finished speaking, the butcher seemed to remember something. He took out a jade slip from his arms and handed it to the old King Zhun.

Old King Zhun took the jade slip with both hands and was surprised when he felt the spiritual power flowing on it.

"Through this thing, you can contact me."

Upon hearing this, the old King Zhun immediately tightened his grip and made up his mind not to tell anyone, not even his respected father.

Otherwise, the old man will definitely lick his face to snatch it.

The butcher warned again: "If there is any change in the formation, or if there are signs of expansion in the strange place, you must inform me as soon as possible. Although I have set up many means, everything is subject to change. You still cannot take it lightly here. You can Do you understand and keep it in mind?”

These words already sounded like commands.

However, upon hearing this, Old King Zhun quickly nodded solemnly.

How could Senior Butcher say this if he wasn't worried about the safety of this place!

"good."

The butcher hummed, turned around, turned into a streak of light, and hurried away into the distance.

The Butcher traveled across the sea of ​​​​stars at lightning speed.

Before dawn, he had already rushed back to Liucun.

After returning to the village, the butcher hurried up the mountain without stopping.

After arriving at the top of the mountain, a majestic palace appeared in front of it. It was of boundless dignity and was surrounded by nine golden dragons. It was soul-stirring and majestic.

The butcher no longer stepped forward, but stood outside the door and spoke to the hall with great respect: "Sir, the butcher has something important to see you."

Jiang Huai was resting in the house when he heard the butcher's voice. He opened his eyes and appeared in front of the butcher in a flash. "What's important?"

The butcher first bowed his fist to the bottom, and then hurriedly told Jiang Huai in detail what he saw and heard in the crack.

Including the altar, the incense burner on the sarcophagus, the black finger bones and the black broken teeth. At the same time, the totem jade carved with rubbings was presented with both hands and respectfully delivered to Jiang Huai.

"You did a great job."

Jiang Huai nodded, but his heart sank slightly.

He had been observing that strange place for so many days, but he had never found any sarcophagus, altar, finger bones, or teeth.

It can only be said that there is definitely something weird and unusual about that altar place, otherwise how could it be possible to isolate even one's own five senses! ?

If the butcher hadn't put himself in danger and took huge risks to go into the abyss, I'm afraid he would still be kept in the dark until now.

It really deserves praise.

After presenting it to the carved jade and putting it away, Jiang Huai said lightly: "We have made contributions to each other, what credit do you want?"

The butcher hurriedly knelt down, placed his hands on his forehead, and said with fear, "I only want to be able to do things for you, and I never dare to ask for any credit."

Jiang Huai smiled helplessly in his heart. He was not a tyrant, so why should he be so cautious? This was not the butcher who killed the king like a pig.

He said in a deep voice: "Butcher, you don't need to be like this. In this place, rewards and punishments are just things. If you do something, you will be rewarded naturally. It's not like I can't afford the reward. So, I will give you this thing." You."

Jiang Huai reached out and grabbed the void.

Immediately, a small and exquisite shrine appeared in his hand.

However, there is no idol in the shrine and it is completely empty.

"This object is called Wuxiang. It can contain one's soul inside it. Even if the soul is destroyed, it can be resurrected in it. But remember, there is only one chance to resist the inevitable death."

The butcher was stunned immediately, pursed his lips, his eyes were hot, but he did not dare to pick it up.

It's really too expensive.

In the whole world, he has never heard of a treasure that can offset the killing calamity of the soul, that is, Sir.

However, although he was greedy, the butcher felt that he had not done any merit, he just went down into the abyss and brought back some information. How could He De afford such a treasure?

Seeing the butcher's hesitation, Jiang Huai said, "Butcher, I've given you a treasure, why don't you accept it?"

The butcher was frightened, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said in a trembling voice: "Sir, how could you be so virtuous and capable as to be a butcher? How dare you accept such a valuable thing?"

"You don't need to be so afraid. I give you this treasure naturally because you are qualified to possess it. This time you went deep into the abyss and brought back important information. This is a great achievement. What does it mean if it is just a statueless shrine?"

The butcher no longer refused, and took the imageless shrine with trembling hands, as if he was taking not only a treasure, but also the trust and expectations of the adults.

He bowed deeply, and bowed again to the bottom, his voice trembling slightly: "My lord, the butcher will not disappoint you, and will go through fire and water in the future without hesitation!"

Feeling the other party's belief value increase, Jiang Huai nodded with satisfaction and said: "You should nourish your soul in it first, so that if you encounter danger in the future, you can have a way to save your life."

The butcher took the shrine with both hands, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then followed Jiang Huai's instructions to integrate a trace of his soul into it.

The shrine flashed with light, and the butcher's figure appeared and disappeared in the shrine, as if it had merged with the shrine.

Feeling the strange connection with his own Yuanshen from the shrine, the butcher was even more excited. He bowed again and said, "Thank you for your cultivation, sir."

"Okay, let's leave."

The butcher bowed respectfully: "Yes, sir, the butcher will take his leave."

Watching the butcher leave, Jiang Huai's eyes became deep, his mind sank slightly, and he sank directly into the jade.

After seeing the totem pattern clearly, he directly used the detection technique.

Soon, the information that only Jiang Huai could see appeared.

Name: Cursed Totem

Introduction: An ancient totem from an ominous place, it comes from a certain vein.

Use: Communicate with the ancestral land, worship

There is not much information, only a few lines, but it can be seen that the butcher's guess is not wrong, there is indeed a place for worship under the abyss.

"It seems that I need to go there in person to find out."

Jiang Huai withdrew his mind and took a small step forward.

The next moment, the scene around him changed drastically in an instant.

When he looked again, he had already reached the abyss.

One step, the distance was shortened by an unknown amount. The butcher had to use all his strength to cover the distance for a whole day, but for Jiang Huai, it was just one step.

This is the gap between the emperor and the king.

In front of him.

The black fog gradually dissipated, revealing the true appearance.

Red painted wooden pillars supported the four corners, like a bloody mouth that would bite anyone it met, and a stone coffin was across there.

Just as the butcher said, there was an ash burner without incense, a broken finger, and a broken tooth.

Without saying a word, Jiang Huai immediately used the detection technique to look at them one by one.

The detection technique scanned the stone coffin, the ash burner, the black finger bones, and the black broken teeth one by one.

Soon, the information that only he could see emerged like flowing water.

Jiang Huai quickly browsed all the information at a glance, but he felt cold in his heart.
