Looking at the sincere and handsome face in front of her, Li Jiumei knew that she had made the right choice this time. She did not waste those bags of Enchantment.
"Haodong, I'm so touched by what you said!"
Li Jiumei said and put her white arms around Qin Haodong's neck. She said coquettishly, "But you just hurt me. Now I need you to compensate me …"
After a night of torment, the sun was already high in the sky when they got up the next day. The golden sun shrouded the whole village, which looked solemn and sacred.
After breakfast, everyone busied themselves with preparing for tonight's sacrificial ceremony.
Only Qin Haodong was idle. He went out for a walk and enjoyed the scenery of the Hmong Village. The scenery here was beautiful and he enjoyed the original scenery very much.
Near dusk, the chief Li Wanquan selected 100 villagers from the Hmong Village. Everyone brought all kinds of sacrificial supplies and rushed to the back mountain together.
As the Holy Virgin and Divine Son of the Hmong Village, Qin Haodong and Li Jiumei were indispensable in this sacrifice. In addition to them, other people of the Li family also participated in this sacrifice, including the three brothers.
The sacred mountain for the sacrifice was behind the Hmong Village. There was an ancient temple on the top of the mountain. The statue of Chiyou was enshrined in the temple, which was the belief of all the people of the Hmong Village in Xiangxi.
In front of the temple, Li Wanquan led all the clansmen to carry out the complicated worship. When they finished these rituals, the sun had already set and the whole mountain was slowly swallowed by darkness.
The clansmen of the Hmong Village lit the torches that they had prepared and then walked to the back mountain of the temple. This was the most crucial place today, the forbidden area of the Chiyou Tribe.
There were no walls or guards here, but no one dared to step into it. If anyone dared to step into the forbidden area, they would be burned by fire.
The terrain here was also very strange. A flat land of nearly 100 square meters suddenly appeared on the rugged mountain. In the center of the flat land stood a statue of a monster.
Qin Haodong took Jiumei's hand, and the two of them came to the front of the monster statue. This monster that they had never seen before looked extremely fierce. Although they knew that it was just a stone statue, it gave people a great sense of oppression, as if it could choose to eat people at any time.
Li Wanquan led his clansmen to kowtow to the monster, and then said to Qin Haodong and Li Wanquan, "Use your blood to open the forbidden area!"
After he finished speaking, all the clansmen fixed their eyes on the two of them. At this moment, the Divine Son and the Saintess were the hope of the entire Jiuli Tribe.
Li Jiumei took out a silver knife that she had prepared a long time ago and cut her and Qin Haodong's index fingers. They each dripped three drops of blood into the monster's mouth.
Speaking of which, it was strange. Originally, the monster was just a stone statue, but when the blood dripped into its mouth, it slowly seeped into the stone and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Everyone became nervous and stared at the stone statue in front of them. Li Wanquan's family was even more nervous.
The entire Jiuli Tribe had been waiting here for thousands of years, but they still did not get the inheritance. They did not know if they could persuade Chiyou to open the forbidden area today.
One second, two seconds … Time passed little by little, but there was still no reaction from the stone statue.
There was a flash of disappointment in Li Wanquan's eyes. Could it be that they failed again this time? If they wanted to open the forbidden area again, they could only wait for another 20 years.
Just when everyone's heart was about to sink, suddenly a dazzling light flashed in the eyes of the monster statue, and then there was a roar, and then it suddenly rotated 180 degrees.
As the monster statue rotated, a big hole of five meters square appeared in the mountain behind it.
"Chiyou, the Great God, the forbidden area is finally open!"
Seeing everything in front of him, Li Wanquan was so excited that he burst into tears. He knelt down in front of the stone statue and repeatedly kowtowed to the forbidden area.
Behind him, the clansmen also knelt down, one by one crying. After waiting for thousands of years, they could finally get the inheritance of Chiyou.
Li Jiumei also looked very excited. She took Qin Haodong's hand and said, "Let's go in!"
Although she did not know what was going on in the forbidden area, as the Holy Virgin of the tribe, she had to do something for the tribe.
At this moment, Qin Haodong's expression suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look at the darkness beside him.
"Someone is coming!"
Hearing his words, Li Wanquan and the others showed a surprised look. This was the forbidden area. Except for the order of the patriarch, no one was allowed to enter. Why would someone come at this time?
At this moment, a group of black-clothed men suddenly appeared in everyone's line of sight. These people were wrapped tightly from head to toe. Their faces were covered with scarves and they held long swords in their hands. Without a single sound, they charged towards the group.
"Oh no, it's an enemy attack. Guard the forbidden area!"
Li Wanquan immediately realized that these were not people of their tribe, but invading enemies.
For the opening of the forbidden area this time, the entire Hmong Village had made sufficient preparations, including resisting the invasion of foreign enemies. The 100 selected clansmen were all warriors above the Covert Power level, and they also carried Hmong on their backs.
Swords.
After receiving the order from their leader, these people all drew out their swords.
The saber slashed towards the black-robed men. Very quickly, the two sides clashed and clashed.
There were about 40 to 50 men in black who suddenly attacked. Although the number was less than half of the people of the Hmong Village, these people were all very strong and almost all of them had reached the ninth level of the Covert Power. Not only did they not suffer any losses, but they also had an absolute advantage.
Especially the leader of the men in black, it seemed that his combat strength had reached the Supreme Power level. The Japanese swords in his hands were extremely fierce.
No matter who the Hmong Village's swords were, they would be cut into two pieces.
In such a short time, three or four clansmen of the Hmong Village had been injured by his swords.
Li Jiumei's face was extremely gloomy and she said angrily, "These are the Japanese. What are they doing in our Hmong Village?"
Qin Haodong also frowned slightly. Although these people were dressed as ninjas, he could see that they were not ninjas from Nihon.
At the same time, he felt very strange. These people were obviously very strong and the weakest one was at the level of the Covert Power. However, his Spirit could not perceive their cultivation. He could not even feel the aura and the flow of Genuine Qi of any warrior.
Seeing that his clansmen were injured, Li Wanquan roared and held the Japanese swords in his hands.
The swords in his hands were aimed at the leader of the men in black.
Although his cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Covert Power, the opponent's combat strength was at the Supreme Power level. The Japanese swords in his hands drew a stream of light and chopped at Li Wanquan's head.
Feeling the opponent's strength, Li Wanquan tried his best to wave the Japanese swords in his hands.
The Japanese swords in his hands were not ordinary.
The saber was not an ordinary item. It did not break, but the huge force shook his hands until they were numb, and he almost broke the saber.
The Japanese swords fell to the ground.
The man in black did not stop. He waved the Japanese swords in his hands and directly stabbed at Li Wanquan's throat.
The Japanese swords in Li Wanquan's hands were still in the air.
His arms were numb, so he had no time to defend himself. The Japanese swords were about to pierce through his throat.
He thought that he was finished. He closed his eyes, but there was no pain in his neck. Instead, he heard a scream.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the man in black's arms had fallen to the ground together with the Japanese swords. His legs had also been cut in two. He did not know when Qin Haodong was standing beside him.
"Keep this man alive."
Qin Haodong did not know when the Forbidden Area would close, so he did not stop. He used the Sky Stealing Leg Skill and the Xuan Yuan Sword in his hand was like a bolt of lightning, constantly devouring the lives of the men in black.
In less than two minutes, these men in black were either dead or injured. All of them had lost their combat strength.
Seeing that his clansmen were out of danger, Li Wanquan shouted anxiously, "Little Qin, take Jiumei into the Forbidden Area, or it will be too late."
They had no experience in opening the Forbidden Area, so they did not know how long the cave could remain open. Once it was closed, they would have to wait for another 20 years. Moreover, no one knew whether the next Divine Son and Holy Virgin could be recognized by this monster stone statue.
Qin Haodong also knew that the situation was urgent. His figure flashed and he rushed into the cave with Li Jiumei. As soon as they entered, the cave behind them slowly closed.
This was a downward cave. There were stone steps under their feet. Although the cave had been closed, it did not feel dark here.
As far as the eye could see, there was a pearl inlaid not far from the top of the cave, emitting a soft light.
"Is this a night-luminescent pearl?"
Qin Haodong was shocked. The pearl was definitely a rare treasure. As long as he took out one, it would be a great fortune. If he took so many night-luminescent pearls outside, he would be rich enough to rival a country.
He gently jumped to the top of the cave and reached out to grab the pearl. He did not expect that the pearl was tightly inlaid on the top of the cave, as if it was sealed there by some mysterious force. If he wanted to take it out, he might have to use the Xuan Yuan Sword to break it.
But at such a close distance, he was sure that the pearl in front of him was a night-luminescent pearl.
Li Jiumei hurriedly shouted, "Don't move. This is the holy land of Chiyou. It's disrespectful to him."
"Well, let's go inside and have a look."
Qin Haodong was not a greedy person. He was just curious. He took Li Jiumei and walked into the cave.
They walked down the stone steps step by step. The cave was very long, and after a few turns, their eyes suddenly widened. A solemn and simple hall appeared in front of them, looking extremely majestic.
Facing this magnificent hall, the two of them suddenly felt a kind of ancient desolation.
They walked in and saw an extremely tall statue in the center of the hall. Although it was just a statue, it gave off an immense pressure. This kind of pressure was thousands of times stronger than the stone beast on top.
There were many other statues on both sides of the stone statue. They were in various postures and holding various weapons in their hands.
"This is Chiyou!"
After Li Jiumei finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and bowed.
At this moment, a tiger's roar rang out as a gigantic white tiger appeared before the two of them.
