Chapter 1142: Sacrifice, wooden reed flute, wolf and dog

"Big brother is so awesome!" Aru exclaimed.

The three feathers floated back into the cracks in the bark of the tree where they were perching, and disappeared in the form of purple lightning.

At the same time, purple lightning flashed on the huge, twisted and coiled branches of the tree, and finally turned into purple energy ribbons and dispersed.

Wherever it passed, numerous feather-like blue leaves grew rapidly on the tiny branches of the trees, and the bare tree trunks instantly became lush and leafy.

The leaves with a gradient of light blue and dark blue sway in the wind, bringing a quiet and hushed tone.

"The purification was successful, Qiumu is very happy! Kapaqiri will definitely be very happy too!" Aru did not expect that the feather that came back so soon had been successfully purified.

"Brother, you said that there are people who sing at the festival. You are the one who listens to people singing." He said to Jiang Yi, "I can sing too."

"Kapachiri likes my songs! I will sing for Kapachiri during the festival."

Aru hasn't realized that Jiang Yi and Kapachiri, who was listening to people singing, are the same patron saints. You are both protagonists, but in different positions! Paimon looked at Aru. Is Aru the same position as Coral Palace Xinhai?

"I'll take you to the festival site first! Preparations for the festival, and the offering of the other three perches. Big brother, can you help me?" Aru said, "If you have any requests, I can also agree to it! I remember that the people who came here before seemed to be looking for the 'wooden reed flute'."

"Oh, that's right!" Paimon almost forgot, "We are here on a commission."

"We really need a wooden reed flute," Ying said.

"Then it's right to go to the festival grounds. All the wooden reed flutes are placed there for the festival." Aru nodded.

"Is it for performance? I heard that the wooden reed flute is a musical instrument of the Heguan people." Paimeng said.

"Hmm! The wooden reed flute is a device that can make sounds. Because of the sea of ​​fog, it's hard for us to see things clearly, right? So everyone uses the wooden reed flute to convey their location. After all, shouting is too noisy! And it's not good for the throat." Aruna's words made Paimon laugh.

"Then take us to the sacrificial site!" Jiang Yi looked at the sky. After offering sacrifices to the roosting tree here, the thick fog around him dissipated, allowing people to clearly see a sacred mountain in front of them that was towering into the clouds and shaped like a chimney.

"This is Mount Sugana, where Kapachiri lives." Aru noticed Jiang Yi's gaze and looked towards the mountain together.

There was still no sun or moon in the sky, and fog obscured the sky and the distance.

"Yeah!" Jiang Yi nodded and followed A Lu to the festival site.

The roots of the trees are like those of thunder cherry trees or ancient silver trees, taking root throughout the entire island. From time to time, you can see exposed tree roots and trunks that are winding like snakes or like arch bridges on some land.

"Other people have been here before, but none of them are as good as big brother! How did you do it just now..." Aru was actually a little curious.

"It's just the wind." Jiang Yi smiled.

They could hear the shouts of the Hillilians, and in front of them were two teams of Beast Realm hounds attacking each other.

Everyone just watched from a distance.

"I don't know where these monsters come from." There was not much fear in Aru's eyes, but she said distressedly, "We didn't have these things before, nor those hairy people and big robots."

Paimon thought about it and thought it was referring to the Abyss Mage and the Ruins Guardian!

Jiang Yi looked at the beast hounds under his command. There were faint spells on their bodies and claws, the Six-Syllable Mantra. These spells were shackles as well as blessings.

Therefore, with an extra layer of protection and strength, they can fight one against two of their own kind under the control of the Golden King Beast and not be at a disadvantage.

"We used to have an animal called 'Pelangomon' here. It was very docile and delicious." Aru wiped the corner of her mouth. "Unfortunately, I don't know when it disappeared, and these guys appeared in front of me."

"Otherwise, I will definitely catch a few to entertain Big Brother, Big Sister, and Paimon."

Paimon couldn't help drooling, "That's a shame. Is it a species unique to Tsurugan? There are these monsters out there, but there's no Cormorant. Of course, it could be that I've just never heard of it."

After all, she can't be sure whether it has existed in history, and she is not a biologist.

"Okay, we've arrived at the festival." After walking for a long time, Aru looked forward.

There are quite a few people there.

The majestic and solemn totem pole stands. When you walk in, you will see that the square is huge with many candles lit in rows, illuminating the place with bright lights.

The weather in Heguan always feels like night.

Illuminated by the warm orange candlelight, the people here didn't seem to be very happy. They each stood aside and talked with people they knew.

Jiang Yi looked at the stone altar in front of him that looked like a gate.

There are three huge stone slabs on each side, rising up like bird wings. Between the wings are two mysterious boulders with ancient totems carved on them.

Then, between the two boulders, three stones were placed upright in the center and two were placed down at an angle.

Here, all the stones form a triangular, hollow and magnificent altar.

There is a purple Thunder God Eye floating under the three vertical stones at the highest point.

This altar actually looks like a bird.

Those wings may not be wings, but feathers next to the bird's beak.

This place is the bird's mouth.

"After you have offered sacrifices to the other three trees, you can take the wooden reed flute here." Aru pointed to the sound-making device made of many wooden boards, which was three fingers wide and one arm long.

"Dad..." He changed his words mid-sentence, "Grandpa also said that the sound of the wooden reed flute can help souls lost in the fog find their way home. So it's a very important thing."

Ying and Paimon looked at the grandfather that Ru was talking about.

The people around him seemed to call him a priest.

He has gray hair and a beard.

"I still have some preparations to make for the festival. If you want to look for me, please find me under the tree in the roost!" After saying that, Aru ran away.

"Hey! I still have a lot of questions to ask." Paimon looked at the other person's back.

"Forget it, it's the same to ask these people."

She flew over and noticed something was wrong.

Everyone was talking to themselves and no one paid any attention to them.

These people had clear faces and rich expressions. They were obviously living people, but Paimon began to feel a creepy feeling.

"Hey, hey! Ying, Jiang Yi...why don't we leave first and go worship the tree!" Paimon flew back, "Aru said the other three trees are in Senraishi Shrine, Otakenoye, and Chihiyama."

Jiang Yi remained noncommittal.

The people in Heguan around here seem to prefer to use "zuo", which means three perches, to describe it.

It seems to be more accurate than the tree.

Two sundials appeared in his eyes, with the pointers rotating at different speeds and times. One represented the current time in Heguan, and the other represented the outside world.

"Those places are now shrouded in thick fog. The fog in Heguan is affected by the worship of Qi Mu." Jiang Yi pointed his finger into the void, and the circular light mirror method illuminated the entire island, turning it into a bird's-eye view.

There was fog surrounding several places above.

The mist purifies foreign matter and is therefore consumed.

He glanced at the brightly lit altar.

He did not rush to take a step towards the three roosts, but walked step by step along the mountain road in Heguan Island.

This island has steep mountains, many gullies and few plains.

There are many cave spaces beneath the ground.

There are many secrets hidden.

Otake-no-no-no is on the west side of Mount Sugana, while Senraijin Shrine is on a secondary island on the north side, northwest of Mount Chihi, and is the second highest mountain here.

Like Suganayama, it is hollow in the middle.

On the way, we encountered the ubiquitous fairies, the thunder spirit unique to Inazuma, and saw several teleportation anchor points.

"Is there a sandstorm over there?" Paimon pointed to the south side of the island.

In the sandstorm, it was as if space was melting, forming a huge dark color.

Ying felt a violent, ominous aura that eroded her life.

"According to my theory from my previous life, the only thing missing for a wolf to turn into a dog is a piece of egg yolk pie." Jiang Yi, "Don't worry about that for now, let's finish offering the roost to A-lu first."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Paimon didn't quite understand why the wolf turned into a dog. The only thing missing was a piece of egg yolk pie.

The beast hounds around were howling with murderous intent.

Outside of Heguan, there were also many beast hounds tearing through space and rushing over from afar.

Their king beast is calling them.

The golden king beast looked at the golden and brilliant barrier rising from the body of the traitor of the tribe, and the barrier turned into a rope that imprisoned its body on the island.

It can obviously dissolve space and tear space apart, but it cannot break the long rope of spell that seems to be forged by divine power.

It felt a sense of crisis.

A sense of danger that it had never felt even when it had invaded Mondstadt and the place where the remaining soul of the demon god lived.

The old soul of the wolf king who controlled the north wind woke up from his slumber, blocked the space with the power of extreme cold, and drove away the wolf that was about to invade.

The wolves of the north wind hunted down many of its people.

It was a little hesitant at this moment, wondering whether to call on the tribe to come and help it.

Perhaps, it is time for the tribe to leave their fire behind and escape.

Because it gradually felt the breath of the new god in the Inazuma legend, these rebellious tribes seemed to be controlled by the other party.

Three ghostly golden wolf heads surrounded its body. It asked the beast hounds below to help bite and erode the spell rope, which seemed to be a mixture of the power of the light world and the human world with a special force.

It is a law and power, with the characteristics of plants and vines. In the dazzling light, it carries the mystery of binding the "spirit form", soul and consciousness of living beings.

The opponent was a powerful hunter who cunningly set a trap.

But after succeeding, he did not come to see the prey in the trap.

……

Over there, Jiang Yi accompanied Ying and finished offering sacrifices to the three roosting trees.

The bare tree trunks and branches were all covered with blue feather-like leaves.

Much of the fog lifted from the islands.

"We still can't see the sun or the moon." Paimon looked up, and everyone returned to the sacrificial site.

"What's going on? There's no one left?" Ying and Paimon looked at the empty sacrificial venue with only the lights still on.

"Do you want to go back and hand in the commission first?" Jiang Yi asked, pointing at the pile of wooden reed flutes.

"Do you want to get rid of me?" Ying asked subconsciously.

"No! I just want you to feel the mystery of Heguan. Anyway, there is a teleportation anchor point, and you can come back quickly." Jiang Yi's voice was full of emotion, "Maybe you can witness... something you don't want to see."

"I have to leave for a while to train my wolf."
