Chapter 43: Divination
Early the next morning, I followed Ao Guang and other dragon elders to the shaman's residence, the shaman, according to Ao Guang's statement. This shaman, according to Aoguang's words, has been very long life, in the end, how many years to live, has been difficult to count out, from the war, the shaman on a total of three divinations, the first time is to ask when the spring of life can once again have a stream, the result is the birth of a new dragon, this hexagrams at that time, no one in the dragon tribe can see through, the spring of life has been depleted, how would there be the birth of a new dragon? How could a new dragon be born when the spring of life had dried up and all the eggs could not hatch?
At that time, the shaman did not explain to anyone, a thousand years after the divination. The shaman has never been out of the house, a thousand years later, the shaman once again divining, this hexagram, asking where the new dragon, this hexagram only calculated, the dragon thousands of years after the new dragon, in that distant planet Earth.
And the third hexagram, the shaman does not ask for trigrams, trigrams from the self, that is, the new dragon out of the world, the earth of that one dragon crossing the nine days of the true dragon robbery time, so there is that time of the dragon elders in the earth manifestation of the shadow, to meet this one with the whole dragon hope of the little dragon return. That time is the sword slave block, the dragon elder was with the sword slave over a few moves, in fact, pressure is not a rival, not to mention even if the real body to go can not be beaten, usually I was on earth, my father Lin Xiaofan had manifested the shadow, in fact, that are not the original, but a wisp of spiritual consciousness only.
This also shows that the current dragon tribe has really fallen to this, otherwise, even if the sword slave how powerful, Lin Xiaofan in this world how invincible, the dragon tribe will not tolerate that one with the hope of the whole tribe of the small dragon in the earth to stay for another three years.
It was because of the three year contract that the dragon clan didn't know when I came here, and it was definitely a coincidence that Ao Chun and Ao Yuan found me in Luoshui City. Can be said, in Ao Yuan found me, the dragon clan's experts in fact immediately lurked in Luoshui City, secretly take care of my safety, just because at that time do not know me this should be ordered in the end how capable, they did not show up, until my battle with the god quality strong man, only to let them make up their mind, to be with the sages of the earth once again a big gamble.
Things up to now, basically has been considered clear, our party came to the shaman's residence, in the dragon tribe, the most powerful person is the dragon tribe's patriarch, but the highest status, is the shaman, these thousands of years, the shaman seldom out of the house, if not that he still has a trace of consciousness in, others have to worry about his death, as the dragon tribe's most supreme existence, he lives, on behalf of the hope of the dragon tribe. .
Ao Guang has repeatedly persuaded him to accept a disciple, not after his death, the dragon tribe no longer have a shaman, but was repeatedly rejected, and then Ao Guang also gave up, if the current shaman can not save the dragon tribe, then, has become such a dragon tribe to shaman what is the use?
The patriarch's request for persuasion can be rejected, which is more indicative of how high the status of this shaman in the dragon tribe is in the end.
So when we arrived, Ao Guang saluted at the gate and said, "Ao Guang, with guests from Earth, come to worship the shaman!"
The door, slowly opened after Ao Guang said these words, and we walked in, and only after we entered did we realize that on a flat land, there was a pale to old man with a dark cloak was sitting in the center of a bonfire.
"There you are." The old man said softly.
These words were obviously addressed to me, and for this mysterious shaman, I couldn't help but be respectful, and hurriedly saluted, "Yes, Elder, Elder is late."
"What is early? What is late? All of this, there is a fixed number." The old man said.
At this time, Ao Guang dismissed his left and right, and said to the shaman, "Shaman, the three or two young friends had a question yesterday, and I would like to ask the shaman about it."
Before Ao Guang could finish his words, he was stopped by this mysterious shaman with a wave of his hand, he said, "I know all of your doubts from last night, this doubt, has been troubling me for thousands of years, I've been trying to think of an answer, but it never occurred to me that the mind of the Emperor, even his closest servants can't know."
"There is no way to divine Heaven?" Aoguang asked.
The old man nodded and said, "There is, it needs the bloodline of the Emperor's descendants as a guide to summon the Emperor's deceased spirit, what I'm waiting for, is this day, Guang'er, set up, tonight, I want to divine the biggest hexagram of my life, and also the last hexagram, I don't have any time left, I'm holding on to it strongly until now."
"Shaman!!!" Ao Guang called out after hearing these words.
"There is no need to grieve, these thousands of years, are there fewer people in the dragon tribe who have passed away?" The shaman laughed softly. "I've lived long enough, but the heavens have treated me well, allowing me to live another lifetime to see the descendants of the Emperor again, to know the truth of it all."
-We gently retreated, after that, Ao Guang began to set up today's divining things, the Earth's flyover, everywhere you can see the fortune teller, which can be said to be a profession on the Earth, did not expect that here, but also divining and asking for the sky, looking at Ao Guang to set up today's trigrams, so that I am even more eggheads, this is very similar to the Earth's asking for the sky rituals This is very similar to the Earth's Heavenly Questioning Ceremony.
Dragon people began to build high platforms, two high platforms, but very extravagant, with huge white bones, this is more like the Earth cult in what ceremony, I asked: "These bones, what is the stuff, how so big?"
"These are the bones of the Dragon's predecessors. To ask the heavens, to ask the heavens with the bones of the corpse with life and blood, to show piety." The Dragon Clan Elder who was beside me said.
I was instantly speechless, using the bones of the predecessors to build a high platform, this is also really quite spellbinding, this elder's words, however, made me feel something else, the so-called heaven on earth is the immortal world, but after really reaching the immortal world, the immortal world still has heaven.
What is the sky of the immortal world? What is above the sky of the Immortal World?
This feeling makes people feel fearful and powerless, heaven and earth, seems to have become a cage, this cage puts people in, forever and ever can not break free, my generation of people to cultivate the immortal asked the sky, but there are still days outside the sky, the long road of cultivation, in the end, when is the end of an end?
Wait until the two platforms built, Ao Guang they began to invite the shaman into the scene, the shaman on one of the platforms, sitting on it, naked, the dragon looks itself is unusually tall and domineering, the skeleton is very large, but the shaman is really too old, his skin all over the body on top of the huge skeleton, it looks quite horrible.
The shaman went on the high platform, the following began to have the people of the Dragon Race, wearing a variety of costumes, dancing below, which is more similar to the Earth's jumping big god, also at this time, sitting on one of the high platform of the shaman suddenly said, "Please the guests from the Earth on the high platform!"
I froze for a moment and pointed to the platform corresponding to the shaman and said, "Me? Get on that one?"
Ao Guang nodded to me and said, "Don't worry, this is just a ceremony, you need to be used, to lead the Emperor's Imperial Soul back. The shaman will never harm you, you are the last hope of the entire dragon race."
I nodded, this is actually what is known as invocation of the soul, many things on Earth are considered to be in the same vein here. What the shaman was doing tonight was just invoking the soul, and the soul that was invoked was the soul of a former emperor of this world!
I rose up flat on the ground and sat on top of the high platform.
At this time, the crowd of dragons on the ground lit a bonfire.
There were nine dragons ascending to the sky and dancing, before doing the rituals, a lot of ceremonies were needed, and the nine dragons danced, which seemed to be a performance for the heavens, and used this method to obtain the gladness of the heavens to droop on them, and only after that did they ask the questions.
I thought that this process is very fast, but I did not expect this wait, but waited until the night, the shaman sat there, as if asleep, until the nightfall, the shaman opened his eyes and stood up.
In his hand, he grasped a huge staff-like thing, the handle of the staff, is similar to the existence of the spine, it should be a dragon spine, but at the very top of the staff, I saw, surprisingly, is a huge dragon head!
The shaman stood up, his mouth humming a song I couldn't understand, it seemed to be that ancient language of the dragons, or like the invocation ballads of Earth.
"Light the fire child!" The shaman called out with open arms.
There were dragons below spitting fire at the high platform, the dragon bones could burn, I could feel the roaring fire under my feet slowly starting to burn.
What the hell is this? Could it be that the invocation is going to sacrifice me alive?
"Little friend don't need to be alarmed, burning the sky with the dragon bone is a devotion to the heavens, this is a general fire, it can't hurt you in the slightest, you only need to use the aura on your body to resist it." The shaman said to me at this time.
I listened to a little bit of luck, and as expected, that seems to be burning unusually exuberant flames, only need to use a very small amount of spiritual qi can resist, and will not hurt me.
The flames were burning and the shaman was still singing an unknown song.
He began to dance on his hands on the high platform, and as he did so, he shook his head and the song he was humming in his mouth seemed to reach a crescendo.
His arm waved the staff in his hand continuously, and a ray of light shot into the firmament from within that one dragon skull.
In total, the shaman pointed to the sky seven times, and seven rays of light ingested into that endless starry sky.
And after that, I saw a familiar scene, in watching this scene, I was nervous and excited, after these seven rays of light into the firmament, the sky lit up with seven shining stars, these seven stars I have never seen here, but on Earth I can see them on every sunny day, and the seven swords in the Nine Swords that I had once practiced, are named after these seven stars!
That's right, the shaman was using his staff to point indiscriminately, pointing out the seven stars of the Big Dipper, which could not be seen on this planet!
Above the sky, those seven stars, lined up in the shape of a spoon!
The Dragon Clan's divination asking for the sky was actually asking for the seven stars of the Big Dipper!
"With my dragon's blood as a guide, today, with the pale universe, with the stars like the moon, between the heaven and earth, the great Dao, know that I am sincere in my offerings, asking for the fulfillment of my heart's desire."
"May today, with the bloodline of the Emperor, with the piety of the Dragon Clan, I call for the return of the Emperor's soul."
The shaman, at this moment, opened his arms and called out to the heavens, and after saying this, he once again called out to me, "Little friend, lend me your blood."
I nodded, this atmosphere was solemn and mysterious, I bit my finger, the shaman waved that staff, under the pull of the staff, the golden blood on my finger began to fly out, gathering into a line.
This one line rose into the air.
It began to outline in the air.
The shaman knelt down, threw out the staff, and said to the seven stars of the Big Dipper, "May I use my blood to draw the emperor's soul back today!"
After saying this, the shaman began to snap his head.
A step appeared between the Big Dipper in the sky and the high platform where the shaman was!
On top of the step, this scene made me feel even more familiar after seeing it, this was actually the same heavenly gate that cultivators on Earth could see when they ascended, this was the heavenly court where the Emperor was! The shaman really succeeded? Summoning the heavenly gate that had crumbled, that gate looked ancient and atmospheric!
I got excited along with it, is the Emperor going to come out?
That my ancestor, the invincible being of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he's really coming out? To give me answers to all my doubts of the truth?
"Pave the way with my blood, the soul returns!" The shaman opened his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of blood, which, wetting the steps, flowed upwards against the current, as if he was going to use his blood, to open that heavenly gate!
The next moment, the heavenly gate opened!
In the middle of the Heavenly Gate, a piercing light was emitted.
At the same time, the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the sky at this time is no longer in the shape of a spoon, the seven stars are practiced into a line, which emits a piercing light, shooting towards the shaman!
This light, intimidating and frightening, shot towards the shaman as if it were a nine-day extermination heavenly calamity!
"Shaman!" The Dragons under the high platform shouted and let out a cry of pain!
That ray of light shot through the heavenly gate that appeared and smashed into the extremely old shaman.
The last words I heard were a roar from that shaman as he tore his heart out:
The Emperor is not dead!!!
