After waiting for about 20 days, it was time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Cancong clan members took out various magical instruments, put on heavy bronze masks, sang and danced, and offered sacrifices to gods and ancestors.
Those masks are very strange and similar to the cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui.
Some masks have raised eyebrows, slanted eyes, extremely exaggerated eyeballs, which are columnar and protrude forward for more than ten centimeters; the ears are fully spread to both sides; the bridge of the nose is short, and the wings of the nose are rolled upward in the shape of a bull's nose; the mouth is It is broad and deep, with a long and upward slit in the mouth, as if the tip of the tongue is slightly exposed, making a mysterious smile.
After Lu You saw it, he was surprised.
Guan Sangyue was almost stunned and asked in a low voice: "Powerful, mysterious and quiet, so beautiful! But, did you say that the Sanxingdui ruins are at this location?"
Lu You said: "I don't know."
Although he guessed that it was in the Xia Dynasty at this time, there is no written record of the Xia Dynasty. This was still the era of monks. The monks were very old. There was probably some suspense about how many years those emperors had been in power. He doesn't know how far the future life is. The landform will undergo great changes due to the changes in the sea. Ancient clans also migrated.
It was not until dusk that the patriarch Cancong appeared! He actually wore a golden mask, his eyes protruded forward a few inches, and he was holding a bronze sacred tree in his hands, which was exactly the same as the cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui!
The bronze sacred tree is nearly 4 meters high. The base of the copper tree is in the shape of a dome, with a circular seat underneath. The base is composed of three triangular hollowed-out blocks with curved edges. The three sides are connected by three legs that are stretched inwards, forming the shape of three mountains. The image of the connected "sacred mountain" is cast on the base with patterns symbolizing the sun and cloud patterns. The tree is cast in the middle of the "top of the sacred mountain". It is tall and straight, with the power of directly reaching the sky. The tree is divided into three layers, with three branches on each layer, for a total of nine branches; on each branch there are two fruit branches, one hanging down and one hanging upward. On the fruit branches stands a sacred bird. There are a total of twenty-seven fruits in the whole tree, and there is also a bird at the root of the trunk. On the side of the tree, there is a copper dragon with a body like a rope braided down from the edge of the tree. The shape of the whole dragon is weird and indescribable.
Cancong held the bronze sacred tree in his hand and began to sing, and what he sang was an ancient witchcraft song.
Lu You stood dozens of feet away, quietly took out his mobile phone, zoomed in and started recording. Guan Sangyue was at his side to cover him.
Cancong chanted for half an hour, and the sky turned completely dark.
Guan Sangyue looked up and saw meteors streaking across the night sky.
She reminded Lu You in a low voice: "Tonight is special, there is a meteor shower."
Lu You said "Yeah" and said, "Continue observing. There may be other strange phenomena next." He continued to use his mobile phone to take pictures of the witchcraft songs chanted by Cancong.
After a while, there were more and more meteors in the sky. Guan Sangyue suddenly felt the skin on her face getting cold: "Huh? Is it raining?" Then she felt something strange: "No, it's just a drop of rain, but it has... The vast inspiration penetrated directly into my skin and entered my body... I felt hot all over, as if being burned by fire..."
Guan Sangyue seemed to be drunk, her body was swaying and she could hardly stand still.
Lu You stretched out a hand to support her and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I need to sit quietly for a while." Guan Sangyue sat down slowly, closed her eyes and concentrated, using her mind to control the spiritual energy and gather it into the fourth cervical vertebrae.
At this time, Silkworm Cong's chant reached its final stage. The bronze sacred tree emitted a magical halo under the bonfire. The nine birds on the branches seemed to come to life. They kept jumping on the branches. The sacred tree also seemed to be alive. Coming over, it seemed to have turned into a green tree. Green clouds gathered in the sky, turned into dew and fell down, falling within a radius of dozens of feet with the Bronze God Tree as the center. Lu You also received a drop of dew, and most of the dew was absorbed by the Bronze God. The tree takes over, flows down along the branches and trunks, and is finally collected by silkworm bushes into a white jade bottle.
A drop of dew fell on Lu Cheng's neck and immediately entered his body, making him feel hot all over. He did not use his mind to control the spiritual machine, but let it swim freely and watched where it ended up flowing.
As a result, he found that the inspiration gathered in the skull and disappeared!
His level of cultivation has not increased significantly. He is still at the fourth level of the Heavenly Witch. His spiritual consciousness has slightly increased. However, his five great magical powers have made considerable progress.
The power of ear power, divine foot power, other mind power, and fate power has increased by 20 to 30%! This is amazing progress! One drop of dew is equivalent to his years of practicing magical powers. What kind of dew is this?
"Is this the legendary dew of the sky? Is this the role of the bronze divine tree?"
After Cancong's chanting ended, he left holding the bronze sacred tree in his hands. The rest of the tribe danced and sang around the bonfire until midnight before they gradually dispersed.
Guan Sangyue stood up and sighed at Lu You: "Oh, I originally thought that the vast spiritual energy would greatly improve my skills. However, I poured it into the cervical spine, but it refused to stay there. Instead, it went up along the cervical spine, rushed to the top of the head and disappeared! My skill has not improved much, but my consciousness has expanded a bit, about fifty miles away!"
Lu You comforted her and said: "The expansion of spiritual consciousness by 50 miles is already very good. Its effect has not completely disappeared, but is hidden inside the skull, helping to refine the skull and develop the six great powers."
"Refining skulls? Isn't that an area that only the Witch King and the Martial King can touch?"
"Yes, this kind of dew has no obvious effect on middle and low-level monks, but it is of extremely high value to the Witch King." Lu You's body, Lu Cheng, has reached the seventh level of the Heavenly Witch. If he breaks through to the next level, he will become the Witch King, so This is much needed.
The next day, Canming led Lu You to see Cancong.
In front of Silkworm Cong, Lu You took out ten tungsten-cobalt alloy instruments and asked to exchange them for rare materials, especially the dew collected from the Bronze Sacred Tree last night.
Cancong was an old man with a tall stature. He looked at Lu You with his two protruding eyes and saw through his identity. Therefore, he became wary and asked: "Where are you from? Why don't you reveal your identity?" ? Are you hostile to our clan?"
Lu You said: "There is absolutely no hostility. I pretend to be a businessman and travel around the world to find opportunities to advance in cultivation."
Cancong said: "The dew you want is a tribute from our clan to the Witch King of the West. I can't give it to you."
"I heard that the Cancong clan is a noble family of Bashu that has lasted for thousands of years. They should have some treasured items. They won't give away all the dew like that, they will always leave some of it, right?"
"There is a small amount left for watering my mulberry trees. Can I exchange two drops for a magic weapon?"
"Ten drops for a magic weapon."
"No, five drops at most!"
"Okay, then as you said, five drops will be exchanged for a magic weapon." Lu You took out ten more alloy magic weapons and displayed them in front of Silkworm Cong.
Cancong took out a small sapphire bottle from his sleeve and said, "There are exactly one hundred drops here."
Lu You put away the sapphire bottle and immediately took out twenty more alloy instruments.
Cancong was a little annoyed, gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and took out another sapphire bottle. At the same time, he took out the white jade bottle that collected the dew yesterday, poured a little dew into the sapphire bottle, and said, "That's all."
