The workers on the road are building wider and wider official roads, building bridges when encountering mountains and rivers, and are very busy.
According to the plan, the new official road will connect all key strategic points in the Great Shang Kingdom and will only be used for military movement.
There was plenty of food, and the workers were sweating profusely while wielding tools in the sun, because while the imperial government had enough food, it would also distribute a little extra money.
For ordinary people, it is simply a blessing.
Three hundred miles away from the new road, deep in the mountains, there are greenery and birds singing and flowers fragrant everywhere.
As the breeze blew, Baiyao and Kong Xuan appeared in an open space.
Baiyao's steps were still a little fuzzy, and his consciousness was impacted by the evil spirit of the runes. Even though a quasi-sage expert treated him, some of his consciousness was still damaged before the treatment.
The runes from Chaos are too weird, and the evil energy is like a living thing, full of aggression, gnawing at the spiritual consciousness crazily. Although it is fine now, I still have lingering fears, and I can even feel dizzy occasionally.
But what excited him was that after learning that the runes came from Chaos, news came from the Golden Candlestick that the road ahead was about an arm's length long.
Although the road ahead is still broken, we can see a turning point.
The scene of the destruction of the human world was deeply imprinted in Baiyao's mind, so he memorized some of the runes on the star. However, for the entire star, they were only rare, not to mention that the back of the star could not be seen. .
And I don’t know if I can watch it again. I have to research some clues and then look for the golden candle branch.
After all, we have to wait until next year for the national fortune to reach eight figures, and enter the depths of the human realm with 50,000 yuan at a time. We cannot spend lavishly for the time being.
"Brother Kong, let's start."
Baiyao said to Kong Xuan.
He wanted Kong Xuan to cast a spell to protect his consciousness, and then draw the "嘂" character again. Since Kong Xuan could destroy it with one hand, it meant that he could also suppress it.
But the strange thing is that even though all the quasi-sages saw the runes last night, they couldn't draw them or remember what they looked like.
Kong Xuan hesitated and asked:
"Is it really okay?"
Since the rune incident last night, he found that Baiyao seemed to have changed a lot. His whole person had become extremely cold, and his voice lacked the peace of the past.
"You cast the spell first," Baiyao said calmly, "but don't complete the spell immediately."
Kong Xuan is a practitioner and belongs to the category of heaven. If he casts a spell on Baiyao, whether it is for protection or not, he will be counterattacked by humanity.
So Baiyao is ready to talk to it after the will of humanity appears.
Kong Xuan took a deep breath, and a ray of divine light floated from the center of his eyebrows to Baiyao.
The next moment, he was sweating profusely, and his majestic will swarmed around him.
Baiyao looked calm and said softly:
"I agreed."
"If you don't want me to die in twenty years, you'd better agree."
As soon as he finished speaking, the will of humanity receded like a tide, and peace and tranquility returned to the mountains.
The warm sun shone among the flowers, bees and butterflies were flying, and Baiyao said lightly to Kong Xuan:
"It's time to start."
Seeing that the will of humanity was really gone, Kong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Even when faced with a saint who could easily crush him to death, he still dared to take action.
But it's different when facing "Tao". You can't touch it, and you may not even have a chance to resist.
He carefully controlled the divine light to float toward Baiyao.
Baiyao relaxed his mind and let the divine light penetrate into his eyebrows.
Then his consciousness was wrapped in five colors of divine light.
After taking precautions, Baiyao raised his index finger, activated his cultivation, and used his spiritual power to draw runes in the air.
When the first stroke was drawn, traces of evil spirits appeared in my mind out of thin air.
With the second stroke, it was as if a passage leading to chaos had been opened in his mind, and more and more evil spirits emerged.
In the third stroke, the evil spirit came to life and began to eat away at Baiyao's spiritual consciousness, but was blocked by the five-color divine light.
After discovering that his consciousness was fine, Baiyao sped up and finished drawing the runes in an instant.
"boom--"
His pupils were bloodshot, and the evil spirit roared like a dragon in his mind, attacking his consciousness like crazy.
Kong Xuan felt that his divine light was being constantly eaten away, and his expression was solemn. To be on the safe side, he released another ray of divine light to protect Baiyao's consciousness.
Then he mobilized his natal magical power and used the power of the five elements to construct a palm-sized barrier, trapping the constantly twisting runes in front of Bai Yao's body.
"Good luck, it can't come out."
The runes are running rampant in the five-color divine light. It does not belong to the ancient world, let alone the five elements. It stands to reason that the five-color divine light cannot trap it.
Kong Xuan also understood this, so just like last night, he forcibly suppressed the runes with his cultivation.
"Can it appear without anything to rely on?"
Baiyao looked closely at the rune, and could feel that the spiritual power he had used on it had disappeared, and now it was just a simple word.
The turbulent evil spirit continued to emanate from the runes, and the palm-sized barrier became extremely dark in the blink of an eye.
Kong Xuan's mind moved, and the evil spirit floated out from the small world. He waved his hand to disperse it, but still firmly trapped the rune.
A simple word, without any energy, looking no different from a living thing, constantly flickering with five-color divine light.
Very aggressive.
"Da Zhu, how did you get this damn thing?"
Kong Xuan was puzzled. He had never seen such strange runes in his knowledge.
However, he was only curious about how to obtain the white medicine, but was not surprised by the runes themselves.
Chaos is extremely dangerous, and only saints dare to travel there. It is not surprising that anything appears.
"Dazhu went to Chaos?"
Kong Xuan looked at Baiyao.
Baiyao shook his head and explained:
"Went to the future."
He thought for a moment and explained to Kong Xuan:
"About twenty years from now, a star covered with similar runes will hit the world, and I will die in the attack."
Kong Xuan was different from the Jie Jiao disciples in that he was the first person to help him, and he did not have a major religious background. In addition, because of Yuan Feng, if he could not be trusted, there would be no one else he could trust.
Baiyao continued:
"Before the star fell, Brother Kong and a group of crimson flames rushed towards the star, but... failed to stop it."
He still could not forget the scene of Kong Xuan rushing towards the stars, like a cricket shaking a tree. Standing beside the golden candle branch, he felt as if he were on the battlefield in person, and his heart was filled with sorrow.
Come to think of it, Kong Xuan will also die under the attack.
"Crimson flame..." Kong Xuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could it be the mother?"
"I didn't see it clearly." Baiyao took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual power, passed through the five-color divine light, and touched the runes. "The reason why I only called you is because I didn't see the Jie Jiao disciples when I was attacked. They He’s either dead or running away, so we can’t trust him gullibly.”
"Hiss"
The moment the spiritual power and the runes came into contact, a violent chemical reaction seemed to occur, and a disgusting deep black light appeared, flowing on the runes.
Baiyao held his breath and concentrated, not missing any detail.
As the spiritual power was worn away, the runes showed no signs of dissipating.
Suddenly, a weak crack appeared on the rune.
The next moment, it looked like it was about to collapse and cracked with countless fine lines.
"boom--"
The runes exploded in the five-color divine light, and at the moment they shattered into pieces, they released arrow-like evil energy, exploding in all directions, but were blocked one by one by the five-color divine light.
"interesting."
After dispelling the evil spirit again, Kong Xuan withdrew the five-color divine light.
Baiyao thought about it, and it took thirty seconds from the appearance of the rune to the explosion.
He picked up a branch and drew the runes on the dirt again.
Kong Xuan also wrapped it with a barrier.
Just like last night and just now, whether you use a pen or spiritual power, even if you use a branch, the runes will still appear. They do not rely on any medium. As long as they appear thirty seconds after they appear, they will explode and be released in all directions. Evil spirit.
"Brother Kong, do you want to try?"
Baiyao looked at Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan nodded and imitated Baiyao to draw runes in the air.
But after one stroke, he gave up.
Even after seeing what the runes looked like three times, he couldn't draw them.
The first stroke of Baiyao can create evil spirits, but nothing happened with his stroke.
"Maybe it's because you didn't see the runes with your own eyes." Baiyao looked a little pale, because he had been recalling the star and was afraid of forgetting the runes on it.
At this time, the reminder of the Tiandao chessboard came to my mind.
[The enemy coach Jiang Ziya is ready]
"You still dare to take the initiative?"
Baiyao frowned slightly, wondering if Jiang Ziya could still find a way to defeat him?
Suddenly, he looked at the branch in his hand, and an idea flashed in his mind.
The rule of the Tiandao chessboard is that no three magic methods can be used.
But the runes come from Chaos...
It should be usable in the board world.
Baiyao put up the no-fight card and prepared to practice it first.
I saw him taking out a hard bow and a sharp arrow from his storage bag.
Kong Xuan had no idea what Baiyao wanted to do, so he could only protect Baiyao's consciousness from the side, while thinking about whether the crimson flame he just heard was his mother.
It didn't take long for Baiyao to carve runes on the arrow, and it was only one stroke away from being fully formed.
The evil aura reappeared in my mind, but perhaps the runes on the arrow were not finished and had not yet come to life, so the evil aura did not form.
"Brother Kong, you can draw the last one."
Baiyao handed the arrow to Kong Xuan, pointed to the left half of the rune and said:
"Just draw a vertical line from here, no need to use cultivation."
Kong Xuan didn't ask any questions, and just followed Baiyao's instructions and carved a vertical line with his fingernail.
As expected by Baiyao, Rune came to life again.
But its strength seems to have weakened a lot, and it is firmly attached to the arrow without falling off.
"It works."
After Baiyao finished speaking, he picked up his bow and arrow, and shot the arrow engraved with runes into the distance.
After a moment, there was only a "boom" sound, and the arrow that landed exploded, releasing dozens of evil spirits to the surroundings.
Trees were broken in half, and rocks as tall as a man were broken into several pieces. With the arrow as the center of the circle, within a radius of about twenty meters, the vegetation withered and all animals died.
"The power is too small," Kong Xuan said: "The explosion in the five-color divine light just now was hundreds of times stronger than this time."
"You should be the one to complete the last stroke."
he laughed.
Baiyao shook his head lightly, "My goal is to allow others to complete the runes."
It's just a simple vertical stroke that anyone can draw. Although it's not as powerful as my own, it's enough to be used on the battlefield.
In the chessboard world, everyone is a mortal, and this kind of rune arrow can be called a big killer.
Just like the fragmentation grenade in the previous life, using it to attack Xiqi's mortal soldiers was simply a one-sided crushing.
Baiyao saw a rabbit in the distance that was contaminated with evil spirits. Its body was completely withered. He thought it would have the same effect when used on humans.
But this was just a small episode, and Golden Candlestick did not indicate that the road ahead would become longer.
That was the purpose of his study of runes.
"I have to ask Empress Nuwa."
Baiyao said softly, since none of the quasi-sages knew what the runes were, the only one who could ask now was Nuwa.
The sage must understand much more about chaos than other people.
As for whether it would disturb Nuwa, it was not within Baiyao's consideration.
After all, Empress Nuwa said that she liked herself very much.
Just do it, he said to Kong Xuan:
"Brother Kong, please go back first. I'll go to Nuwa Palace."
After that, he dispersed with the wind.
Nuwa Palace is located outside the south gate of Chaoge. It is the only foreign force stationed in the mortal world, but it is not open to the public. Only leaders of the human race can go to offer incense.
Baiyao was speeding through the air, his control over the wind becoming more and more proficient. Maybe after a while, he would be able to go to the islands of the other three gods.
But after flying for a while, he stopped inexplicably, transformed in the air, stepped on the strong wind, and looked at a certain place on the earth.
——A pyramid-shaped altar built purely from human bones.
Just by looking at it, Baiyao could faintly hear the wailing of the wronged soul.
There are 130,000 corpses arranged neatly, and there is no grass growing in a radius of ten miles. The yin energy is roaring there like a river. Mortals can't feel anything, but weaker practitioners will never dare to get close.
The altar was built by the original body for the national sacrifice. The original body fell asleep before the national ceremony was half over.
Normally, Baiyao would not even look at this place.
But what made him stop now was that the altar was calling him.
It had been heard before, but this time it was stronger than ever.
Baiyao stopped, observed the altar carefully, and listened carefully to the call from the altar.
After many years, the altar has not been damaged in any way, and even the blood stains have not disappeared, as if there is an invisible force keeping it in its original state.
If you stand on the ground and look at it with ordinary eyes, you will feel that this is a red and white hill, with a somewhat mysterious and hazy beauty.
But people who have experienced it cannot feel the beauty. The altar represents the largest sacrifice in six hundred years, and it took 130,000 people to build it.
And every time a floor is built, a blood sacrifice will be held, and so on. Without the final sacrifice, just to complete the altar, hundreds of thousands of people will be killed, and countless knives will be cut and curled.
After watching for an unknown amount of time, Baiyao's heartbeat began to speed up.
"Dong dong——"
"Dong dong——"
In a daze, he seemed to have some indescribable connection with the altar.
"Come……"
"Come quickly..."
Baiyao heard the call clearly, and the altar was letting him pass.
At this moment, the system’s voice sounded:
[I wish you please be careful, Ziyao used the means of national luck to reach the peak. He sealed me before the national sacrifice.]
"I won't go."
Baiyao took a deep look at the altar in the distance, turned around and flew towards Nuwa Palace.
I used to hear calls occasionally when passing by. This is not a strange thing.
But it suddenly became so intense, which can only mean that some kind of change occurred in him, triggering the conditions of the altar.
Tiandao chessboard?
Or Chaos Rune?
Baiyao fell at the gate of Nuwa Palace, she straightened her clothes and walked in.
