Qi Jiayao was not very familiar with the main peak of Lingshan Mountain, but he was very familiar with this palace of Yao Zu, as if he had seen a special introduction. It just so happened that Qi Xuansu was familiar with other places, and the two of them cooperated, taking many detours and bypassing many traps, and finally reached the depths of Yaozu's palace.
Under the leadership of Qi Jiayao, the two entered the long corridor leading to the altar area. It was very dark here, and there seemed to be many shadows swirling around.
However, Qi Jiayao walked in front holding the "bone mirror" high, but none of these shadows dared to approach, so the two of them walked through the corridor and arrived at the altar area.
Just as Qi Xuansu saw in his dream, there were altars carried by the great witches. However, there was not just one altar, but nine altars, corresponding to the nine great witches.
Qi Xuansu only thought for a moment and understood which two great witches were missing: Wu Yang and Wu Xian.
Needless to say, Wu Xian had no reason to include himself in the ranks of traitors.
As for Wu Yang, not to mention her relationship with the Taoist sect, she does not belong to the ranks of the ten witches of Lingshan. She is not a subordinate of Wu Xian, but directly belongs to the Emperor of Heaven. Naturally, there is no betrayal.
Nine rebellious great witches, five of whom established their own sect, left the Lingshan Ten witches and formed the Enlightenment Six witches together with Wu Yang. There were four others who, although they did not establish their own business, conspired to kill Wu Xian.
Nine altars are arranged on the left and right, and there is a stone throne at the end of this area.
Above the originally empty throne, a figure gradually emerged. At first it was just a point of light, then the points were connected to form lines, and the lines were outlined into outlines. Finally, they were constantly intertwined and filled in, just like the sketches of Westerners. A figure appeared.
Qi Xuansu resisted the urge to turn around and run away, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you the Earth Master?"
Qi Jiayao stared at the figure closely: "It's not the Earth Master...it's Yao Zu."
Before he finished speaking, a figure took shape. Sure enough, it was Yao Zu whom Qi Xuansu had seen more than once in his recollection.
Yao Zu was sitting on the throne, looking at the two of them, not angry, but with a somewhat cynical smile: "Two little thieves sneaked into my palace, what do they want to do?"
Qi Jiayao looked at this figure carefully and said hesitantly: "This seems to be just the remnant left by Yao Zu."
"That's right." Yao Zu actually answered, "Of course I am not the Yao Zu you call me, I am just a trace of her spiritual thoughts left behind."
Qi Xuansu didn't know what to say for a moment. Even if he wasn't the deity, he was still the local master, so he felt a little guilty.
Yao Zu continued: "But it's strange that both of you have my aura on you."
Qi Xuansu was startled.
It's not surprising that he has the aura of Yao Zu, because he possesses the "Heart of Immortality Stone", which is a creation refined by Yao Zu himself. He even secretly refined it behind Xuan Sheng's back, and has various connections with the witchcraft religion. It would be weird not to have Yao Zu's breath.
But why does Qi Jiaoyao have the aura of Yao Zu?
Is she really a member of the Yao family?
After all, ordinary outsiders have no way of knowing so many secrets of Lingshan Cave. Even the assistant manager of Wanshou Chongyang Palace can't explain it, and the personal secretary of the Earth Master is about the same.
But the secretaries of the Earth Master are all famous people, and there has never been a person like Qi Jiayao.
Just when Qi Xuansu was confused, Yao Zu said again: "In this case, we can give you a chance. You may be wondering, what is the purpose of Yao Zu leaving this ray of spiritual thought? Maybe it is just a phantom, you can try to attack I, if I am really just a phantom, I will naturally not be able to stop you, and the entire palace will be yours."
Yao Zu paused for a moment: "Of course, if I am not just a phantom, but also have some insignificant magical power, then we will have to meet Zhenzhang under my men to see if you can leave this palace alive."
Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiayao said nothing.
Even if the Taoist history books have been tabooed by His Holiness, Yao Zu’s bad character cannot be concealed. Who knows if it could be a trap?
Seeing that the two of them had not spoken for a long time, Yao Zu continued: "If you don't want this opportunity, then I can't force you.
Just like this, I will give you another way, hand over five thousand moments of divine power, and I can give you an hour of free time. During this period, I will pretend that I have not seen anything, and you can do whatever you want. "
After the words fell, a portal opened on the ground not far from the two of them, and a container of divine power rose up.
It seems that this is not the first time Yao Zu has played such a trick.
Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiayao fell into a battle between heaven and man.
Judging from Yao Zu's bad character, there is a high probability that she will play an empty city strategy to scare the enemy away, which will best satisfy her evil taste. Also, could this be her bluff and deliberately deceiving them? In fact, she didn't have the ability to take action. After obtaining five thousand moments of divine power, she had the capital to take action. Sending five thousand moments of divine power becomes an act of endearment to the enemy.
However, it is not ruled out that Yao Zu does have a back-up plan. After all, this is Yao Zu's palace, but the restrictions here are too fragile. It is almost no difficulty. It is only slightly better than being undefended. If something goes wrong, there will be a monster.
Logically speaking, one should seek stability. Five thousand hours of divine power in exchange for a "Heart of Immortality Stone" is an extremely cost-effective thing, so there is no need to think about it. But Qi Xuansu knew that there was no "Heart of Immortality Stone" here at all. The so-called "Heart of Immortality Stone" was in his chest, and these five thousand moments of divine power were just in vain.
Just as Qi Xuansu was hesitating, Qi Jiayao had already spoken: "We will give you divine power."
After saying that, Qi Jiayao whispered to Qi Xuansu: "I only have two thousand moments left, how much do you have left?"
Qi Xuansu still has a lot of it. After all, the dignified chief deputy palace master replenishes his divine power every year to maintain it at around five thousand moments.
Qi Xuansu no longer hesitated and directly injected three thousand moments of divine power into the divine power container not far away.
Qi Jiayao also made up for the remaining two thousand moments, just enough to fill up the container of divine power.
"Very good." Yaozu waved his hand, and the divine power container lowered again, "As you expected, I need divine power to maintain my existence. Later generations are unfilial and have not replenished my divine power for a long time. However, even if I lack divine power, It’s not difficult to deal with you two, after all, the palace does not require divine power to operate, and I can mobilize the restrictions of the entire palace.”
Qi Xuansu finally understood why Yao Zu left a trace of spiritual thoughts. In fact, she played the role of the palace elf. She was the will of the palace itself and could mobilize various formation restrictions of the palace on her own.
But it sounds quite resentful. Could it be that because future earth masters did not replenish her divine power, she began to act badly and no longer guarded this place responsibly?
"Now, I keep my promise. But remember, it only lasts for an hour." After Yao Zu said these words, he slowly disappeared, leaving only an empty throne.
Qi Jiayao said nothing and went straight to the altar corresponding to the witch girl.
Qi Xuansu also followed.
The corpse of the witch girl lay on the altar.
Qi Jiayao did not rush to disembowel his chest, but instead crossed his arms with a victor's attitude and said to Qi Xuansu: "I said there must be a 'Heart of Immortality Stone' here. You didn't believe it yet, do you believe it now?"
Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "It is true that Yao Zu once gave birth to the Heart of the Immortal Stone here, but I still say the same thing, 'The Heart of the Immortal Stone has been taken away long ago, leaving only an empty skin."
Seeing that Qi Xuansu still dared to speak harshly, Qi Jiayao immediately said, "Okay, if you don't shed tears until you see the coffin, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"What bet?" Qi Xuansu asked.
Qi Jiayao smiled coldly: "Father and son bet."
"Father and son bet?" Qi Xuansu repeated.
"That's right." Qi Jiayao only felt that he had a chance to win. "If you don't bet on property, just bet on your breath. If there is no 'heart of immortality stone' in the corpse of the witch aunt, then even if you win, I am willing to admit defeat and consider you as the winner. Father. But if there is a 'Heart of the Immortal Stone' in the corpse of the witch aunt, then I will win. I'm sorry, but you have to recognize me as your mother. How about it, do you dare to bet?"
Qi Xuansu reached out and touched his chest, thinking to himself: "I
This Heart of Immortality Stone is genuine and has been certified by the Third Master personally. How could he lose? "
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but laugh: "Since you want to be my daughter, I won't stop you, just make a bet."
