Different from the marquis who likes to keep people in suspense and always makes people confused, Gao Gong's character seems very pure. After feeling the gazes of the crowd, he continued to explain.
"I had my doubts when I first saw Dousu's mask, but it wasn't until it shattered and revealed its resurrection effect that I was able to confirm its name."
It is understandable that Gao Gong has an extraordinary heritage and is well-informed, but one thing is for sure, the people present at this moment are obviously not interested in listening to him explain anything more.
It would be fine if a mere Dou Su was resurrected, but after all, no matter how high their A grade was, they were still just A grade. In the battle against natural disasters, they were nothing more than some higher-level cannon fodder.
But if the Four Symbols-level combat power can be resurrected at will, that would be a real blow to the Taiping Dao.
"So, what does it do?"
The first one to speak was Murong, because he had suffered a loss at the hands of Xu Xiaoqi, he still remembered the revenge of the arrow clearly.
Being in the Taiping Dao, everyone is like-minded. If it were in the past, based on Gao Gong's personality, he would definitely not hide anything.
But what was surprising this time was that Gao Gong not only did not explain anything for Murong, but he pointed the finger directly at the Marquis in the Water Mirror Technique.
"I am just a Taoist priest living in seclusion in the mountains. How much can I know? The Wuhou Sect has a long tradition. The Marquis must have a plan in mind. I will not teach him how to do this."
Baimu, who was born in the demon clan and had a thick nerve, did not appreciate the profound meaning in the words of the high priest, but a hint of hostility was revealed in the eyes of others.
After returning from Taiping County, Gao Gong seemed a little abnormal. Previously, they had always believed that there was something wrong with Gao Gong himself, but judging from his current words, it seems that there is someone else with the problem.
It seemed that he felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a little subtle. As the nominal boss of Taiping Dao, Qi Yin was a little restless at this time.
"What Gao Gong said is not without reason. Lord Hou, you are well-informed. What is the function of this national treasure?"
Whether it was Gao Gong or Qi Yin, although the meaning was unclear, their words could be described as neither humble nor arrogant. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't even be able to hear the tentative meaning in them.
It's a pity that the people on the other side of the Water Mirror Technique are not ordinary people. "Zhang Gaogong is too polite. What kind of Wuhou Sect is this? I have been expelled from the sect a long time ago. Now I am an old man who is about to die. Even if I have seen the relevant description by chance, I am afraid I can't remember it now.
But if you really need it, I, the old man, will go to the interior to ask."
As if to confirm the truth of his words, when he said this, the cough caused by the Marquis's lack of energy and blood was clearly transmitted through the water mirror technique.
Should we say that he is worthy of being the descendant of Wu Hou? His words are really flawless.
Seeing that the other party didn't take the bait, Gao Gong didn't bother to waste any more time. After all, there was still a long time in the future, and he didn't mind waiting a little longer. As a cultivator, he had plenty of patience.
"The Marquis's inner world needs to be shielded from many secrets, so don't waste it on such trivial matters. Since no one knows, let me explain it.
According to Taoist Canons, the diagram of the twenty-eight constellations was created by a Taoist immortal in the Han Dynasty who possessed extraordinary skills. In fact, there is no need to worry too much, as its effect is actually very simple. To put it bluntly, it is simply a matter of exchanging life for life.
With the stars in the sky as the foundation, a special formation is set up with the help of the power of the Four Symbols. If a Four Symbol-level fighter dies unexpectedly, the formation will use the sacrifices prepared in advance to make up for the fate of the fallen Four Symbols. "
It would have been better if he hadn't listened to it. The more he listened, the more confused Baimu became. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but mutter.
"This doesn't seem right. According to you, only the Four Symbols can use this method of resurrection, but how do you explain Dou Su?"
"Could it be that the underworld is broken?"
Lying is a shameful thing to do, but if it is told perfectly, it becomes an art.
Coincidentally, as a descendant of the Wu Hou School, the Marquis seems to be well versed in this.
Without even waiting for Gao Gong to explain anything, his words awakened everyone who was still confused. It was precisely because of this honesty that even Gao Gong's suspicion of him was reduced a little.
Maybe he really doesn't know...
"That's right. Whether it was the powerful Han Dynasty or the wealthy Tang Dynasty, they had no shortage of sacrifices to make up for their fate. However, because the formation takes a long time to activate, it's okay once, but once the number of times increases, it will be easy to be discovered by the Red Dust Immortal who controls the way of life and death.
No matter whether you were a celestial master who had attained enlightenment during your lifetime, or an emperor who ruled over the world, once your soul leaves your body, you will be controlled by the immortals of the way of life and death.
The high officials in the temple are not fools. To be honest, exchanging a sacrifice of the same status for a chance of resurrection is not a very cost-effective deal. A scapegoat can beat it by 10,000 times. This is also the reason why the 28 Mansions Diagram is discarded by the rulers. "
When he said this, Gao Gong deliberately stopped to give everyone some time to digest the information. Only after everyone's eyes had regained clarity did he continue to explain.
“This is not a good deal, but the strange thing is that in Dajin, let alone the mortal immortals who control the way of life and death, even the underworld in this world is already in ruins.
At this time when yin and yang are in chaos and there is no one to govern, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, which were originally useless, can play a role far beyond their original purpose.
If I'm not mistaken, the reason why the Jingye Division spends so much energy to accommodate natural disasters and ghost troubles, in addition to ensuring the health of the people, is more importantly to replenish the sacrificial items for the Xingxiutu.
Under the condition of sufficient sacrificial items, the Four Symbols-level combat power should be able to be resurrected seven times, and even the Constellation-level combat power can be resurrected once. The mask on their faces is the magic weapon used to connect the formation."
After Gao Gong finished his speech, you could almost hear a pin drop. After a long time, Baimu turned around and left angrily.
"Hey, centipede monster, where are you going?"
"Whoever wants to go can go. I won't go crazy with you. Even if Hongchenxian attacks an old monster like that, he may not be able to be suppressed. Now you tell me he has seven lives. What the hell is this?
I tell you, although my reaction is a little slow, I am definitely not stupid!"
As a monster who entered the Tao by "living in seclusion", Baimu's choice could not be said to be wrong. It's just a pity that after living for more than a thousand years, he still thought too simply about human hearts.
Before Baimu could leave, a golden railing instantly filled the middle of the temple gate. Not to mention that the power of will can naturally restrain evil spirits, fighting with the local City God in the City God Temple is like an old man eating arsenic and thinking his life is too long.
"What do you mean?!"
Qi Yin: "It's just a rare treasure that protects the country. Look how scared you are. Master, how long does it take to transform the sacrifice?"
"Ten breaths."
"That's good. I finally understand. The Twenty-Eight Mansions Star Map is built on the basis of the power of the stars. If the power of the local stars is sealed at this time, it should be unusable."
After hearing the boss's words, Gao Gong thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively.
"Hey~ Hey~ Don't nod so quickly. Even those who have sealed off the power of the stars and become immortals can't do it. Who do you think you are?"
"Don't even mention that the White Lotus Sect is holding me back from the outside, not to mention that I have a magic weapon called...
