Chapter 1234 Strange Sapling
Hearing this, Lu Yang secretly sent a message to Meng Jingzhou: "So, if you drop some blood, can you also recruit a large number of ghosts to work for you?"
What's more, those attracted were all ghost kings, and those of low levels would not have the life to drink Lao Meng's blood.
Meng Jingzhou rolled his eyes: "It would be great if the ghost kings could snatch the Hanhai Patriarch."
Meng Jingzhou felt that the person who was most happy about his advancement to the Tribulation Crossing Stage was his ancestor, and the second happiest person was Patriarch Hanhai.
Mu Baiyi led everyone into the main urban area of Fengdu. Lu Yang noticed that there were not only ghosts in Fengdu City, but also many people, who all seemed to be believers of the Jiuyou Sect.
That’s right, establishing Fengdu is a top priority, and all the people from the Jiuyou Sect will definitely attend the Fengdu celebration.
Lu Yang guessed correctly. Today was a big day for the Jiuyou Sect. All the barbecue restaurants had been closed for several days and had arrived here in advance. Lu Yang and others were the last group to enter Fengdu.
"Were these bricks also moved from the ancient city of Daqian?" Meng Jingzhou stamped his feet twice. He always felt that these bricks and the city walls were not from the same era.
"No, only the walls of Daqian Ancient City can be used. The quality of the stone bricks is not good enough and cannot be used."
"Where did this floor tile come from?"
"I asked the Tiance Sect to calculate where there were a large number of very old bricks. They calculated the approximate location, and we dug around and found an ancient capital of the Dayu Dynasty. We moved all the bricks here."
Meng Jingzhou: “…”
Why does it sound like your Fengdu is pieced together from nowhere?
"Speaking of which, your sect believes in reincarnation. In ancient times, the underworld was the place of reincarnation. Does Fengdu have the function of reincarnation?" Lu Yang asked.
Sect Leader Chi and Liu Zhen pricked up their ears; they were also very interested in the concept of reincarnation that the Jiuyou Sect believed in.
They also heard from the Jiuyou Sect that the previous leader Qin Haoran was the reincarnation of the underworld. At first they didn't quite believe it, but just now they heard from the young leader Lu that the manuscript left by Qin Haoran was exactly what the underworld looked like in the past. This matter is very intriguing.
No one should know about the Xinhuo Dynasty, how did Qin Haoran know about it? Mu Baiyi shook his head gently: "I'm sorry to make Master Lu and Master Long laugh. At present, Fengdu City is only used to provide a residence for ghosts. Although we strictly built Fengdu according to the manuscript left by the previous master, and built the Three Lives Stone, Huangquan Road and other places, they are just similar in appearance and have no function of reincarnation."
"But we believe that as long as our faith is strong enough, Fengdu will one day become a place of reincarnation!"
Lu Yang actually wanted to tell you not to think too highly of yourself. The underworld of the Xinhuo Dynasty does not have the function of reincarnation, and there has only been one person like Li Haoran who has reincarnated in the past 100,000 years.
After thinking about it, I didn't say it out loud. It's not easy for them to build Fengdu, so don't discourage them.
Lu Yang thought that there were enough ghosts when he first entered the city, but when he arrived at the core area of Fengdu City, he realized what the ghost mountain and ghost sea were.
I also saw the real bodies of the figures that appeared in the space crack a few days ago. They were all ghosts.
Then we can’t say that Mangu’s judgment was wrong, Quyi County is really haunted.
"This is the altar."
There were many people and ghosts surrounding the altar. When they saw Mu Baiyi and others coming, they consciously made way for them.
Countless curious eyes fell on Lu Yang and the other person. Everyone was curious about the two legendary great figures, the Young Master of the Tianting Sect and the Holy Son.
Lu Yang and the other man looked straight ahead, unmoved and looking extremely aloof.
The altar is round and has four layers, corresponding to heaven, earth, humans and ghosts. It is pure white, the only white color in Fengdu, and is very eye-catching.
"Please take a seat."
Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Sect Leader Chi, and Liu Zhen, who were in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, sat in the first row. Starting from the second row were the top leaders of the Jiuyou Sect.
"Master Mu, why is there a tree in the middle of the altar?" Lu Yang asked puzzledly.
There was a circular hole in the middle of the altar, with a sapling growing in it that was more than two people tall. Something unknown was hanging on the branch, tightly wrapped in leaves.
Lu Yang had seen many spiritual trees in the medicine garden, but none of them matched this sapling.
"Meng, do you know this tree?"
Meng Jingzhou was also wondering what the Jiuyou Sect was doing: "I don't know them."
"Fairy, do you know her?"
The Immortal Fairy frowned slightly: "Strange, I have never seen anything like this before."
Mu Baiyi explained: "Actually, we don't know what this is either."
"When the altar was first built, there was no such thing. Suddenly one day, my subordinates came to report that the altar was smashed by a sapling."
"I was very surprised at the time. This altar is made of flawless jade with a hard texture. It took a lot of effort to process the jade. How could a sapling break the altar?"
"I went over to take a look, and it was indeed the case. The altar was in pieces, and there was a sapling growing there that I had never seen before."
“I asked around, but no one knew where the saplings came from.”
"Considering how strange the sapling was, I didn't dare to pull it out, so I had to find another place to build the altar. But the sapling moved and broke the top of the altar."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"When I rebuilt the altar for the third time, I stared at the sapling day and night, and found that the sapling gradually became illusory, and then the phantom of the sapling appeared inside the altar not far away."
"When the saplings on my side completely disappear, the sapling entities will appear inside the altar and then break the altar into pieces."
"There was no other way, so I had to order people to dig a hole in the middle of the altar for the sapling to grow. Now it has grown this tall."
Lu Yang was still confused after hearing this. What on earth was this little sapling? "Are those fruits hanging on the branches?"
Mu Baiyi still shook his head: "I don't know."
The appearance of the saplings does not affect the completion ceremony of Fengdu. Believers only think that planting the saplings here has some kind of meaning.
As the host of the celebration, Mu Baiyi changed into a black robe and walked up to the altar.
Seeing Mu Baiyi coming on stage, everyone in Jiuyou Sect fell silent at once, looking up at Mu Baiyi intently, their eyes pious and clear.
Mu Baiyi looked solemn as he took out the willow branches inserted in the jade bottle and placed them in the four directions of east, west, south and north.
Willow branches symbolize rebirth, east, west, south, and north symbolize the world, and the essence of reincarnation is rebirth. This action implies that Fengdu is the place of reincarnation for the entire world and the starting point of rebirth.
Then he held a ceremonial sword in one hand and a jade ring in the other, and collided them against each other, making a crisp sound. At the same time, he recited ancient blessings in ancient language.
Even after Lu Yang translated it into modern language, he still didn't understand what Mu Baiyi was saying.
When Mu Baiyi was halfway through reciting, the audience began to recite together, accompanied by ancient ritual music.
"It is an auspicious day, and the nine underworlds will be happy..."
The entire Fengdu was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, as if resonating with the heaven and earth, and the space was shaking.
Lu Yang was gradually infected by this atmosphere and calmed down to feel the process.
On the branches of the saplings, the leaves stretched and blossomed, gradually revealing a glimpse of the true appearance of the object wrapped inside.
It is a kind of fruit that is so illusory that it is almost transparent. It is dreamy and bizarre, as if it should not appear in this world.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yang's pupils shrank suddenly. The altar is located in the center of Fengdu, which is the place that all believers care about. In other words, it is the place where the power of faith is most abundant. The sapling only grows in the altar, which means that its appearance is inseparable from the power of faith! Now that the celebration has officially begun, the fruits on the branches of the saplings are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Could this thing be...
When Lu Yang thought of this, an inappropriate laugh sounded above everyone's heads, interrupting the celebration. As the laughter appeared, the ghost fires in the sky above Fengdu went out one after another.
"You guys from the Jiuyou Sect are quite capable. You actually created the prototype of the Samsara Dao Fruit!"
