Chapter 25 The Sanctuary
As soon as he entered the shelter here, Li and Dana were shocked. This place could not be called a shelter, it was a completely hell scene.
This is a funnel-shaped valley, with only five or six people standing side by side at the entrance, but the more you go in, the wider it gets, and when you walk deeper into the valley, it is about two or three football fields.
What is creepy is that the entire valley is full of scattered bones. The pale bones reflected the sunlight from the cliff top, making the entire valley look very bright, but this scene is so depressing that people can't breathe. The wind blows in from the mouth of the valley, making a whimpering sound, echoing in the valley, as if millions of souls were crying together.
Li picked up a bone from the ground and checked it: "From the shape and size of the bones, they should be all from animals."
Dana nodded and walked into the valley. When he arrived at the bottom of the valley, there was a large tomb, all made of rocks and gravel. There was an altar in front of the tomb. After so many years, it had become unfair. It could only be vaguely seen that it was a platform built by man-made.
Li looked around and said, "Well, it's the master's technique. The five elements here have completely changed, so animals that have not made the formation method can't get out when they come in. I have to look for the formation eyes." Hearing that there was no answer behind him, he looked back.
Dana stood in front of the stone platform, staring silently at the grave. The whirling wind in the valley passed through the remaining animal skulls at the top of the grave, and the whimpering sounds heard at the entrance of the valley sounded again here.
Dana seemed to hear countless Indian warriors launching fearless charges against the enemy's dense muskets, and also seemed to see the unarmed Indian women and children being ruthlessly massacred. Tears were already covered with his face, and the tall Indian man knelt straight in front of the former altar.
Li did not bother the sad man, but just took the wood carving off his neck, placed it on the stone platform, and walked around alone.
The design of this formation is not complicated, it just uses the method of reversing the five elements to make the valley disappear into the perception of the creature. Soon, Li found one of the formation eyes that controlled it. Looking at the small jade bowl containing clear water, he couldn't help but sigh. Taoism emphasizes that doing things is not done at all, and everything will leave a glimmer of vitality. This formation eyes have no other spells designed to protect, and even a child can break it when he moved it away.
Born in distress and died in peace, Li couldn't help but say this in his heart. If the Indian tribes were not greedy for this paradise, they would not be unable to live after death. Causes and consequences, blessings or disasters, who can tell clearly? This is not the case in the world. When animals have no natural enemies, their various instincts will gradually degenerate. Without threats and difficulties in society, how can there be a driving force for development? Indians survived for thousands of years because of their rich food and vast land, and without invasions from foreign races, but no qualitative changes in science and technology culture. When enemies that surpassed them arrive, they will suffer the punishment of extermination.
Thinking of this, Li also had a hint of enlightenment in his heart. He reached out and picked up the jade bowl, poured the water in the bowl, and put it in front of him. He couldn't help but think in his heart: Master, have you seen this? This test of the soul is not only for those Indians back then, but also for me.
The moment the bowl of water was poured out, a thunderous sound came from the entire valley, and a whirlwind rose flat on the ground, and the entire valley was revealed to the world more than a hundred years later.
The huge rock that the two saw when they came in was now standing on the cliff on the west side of the valley. Fortunately, there were few people here, and tourists who were slightly closer to this place could only hear a loud noise. The tour guides explained to the tourists the scientific principles of the lightning that appeared during the day. It was not their business to believe it or not.
Back at the grave, Li saw a transparent phantom floating above each grave. When these liberated souls saw his arrival, they all stroked his chest and saluted him. When Li returned the salute to them, these souls began to slowly fly towards the sky and gradually dissipated in the air, turning into small white light balls, falling down. These small light balls slowly gathered towards Li in the fall, constantly strengthening his soul and body.
All the small light balls in the sky gathered together, and the vigorous vitality nourished his soul so crystal clear. When he opened his eyes, the black pupils were round and bright and restrained like a pair of amber.
After calming down, Li walked towards Dana happily, but immediately, he frowned and ran over.
Dana looked very wrong now. There were wisps of red bells on his body, and the spirits of the beasts were constantly rotating around him as the center. The wood carving that was placed in front of him was also floating in the air with red light. Li ran to him and quickly raised his hand to prepare to cast the spell. At this time, the phantom of the old Indian appeared on the wood carving, and he shouted: "Stop, don't worry about him!"
"What's going on? What did you do?" Li asked sternly.
"Haha, Master. You are so kind, just like your ancestors, and you are so kind and enthusiastically helping others without asking for anything in return. But we, Red Feathers, have always been rewarded with kindness." The old man looked at Li gratefully, "We have nothing else to give you. Only some small spells left over and guardian spirits passed down from generation to generation are of some use to you. I have injected all the guardian spirits into your brother's body. I have checked that his Indian bloodline is very pure and can be fully endured. Next, I will give you the spells of our clan. I hope it will be helpful to you. Please let go of your soul and don't resist."
After saying that, he pointed at Li Yi, and a white light shot straight into his eyebrows. Li fell down straight. The old man murmured to himself: "With the soul strengthening just now, I believe you will master these spells soon. And you brother, I have to rely on me to help him."
After saying that, the old man turned into a red light and rushed into Dana's body. The red light on his body was as if it was burning. The muscles on his body kept increasing, the blood vessels were exposed, and the eyes were filled with vigorous red light.
"Ah!!!" Dana's upper clothes were directly broken by the swelling muscles, and he couldn't bear the pain and shouted. The souls surrounding him finally began to gather on his forehead and penetrated into his eyebrows one by one. Bobcats, white wolfs, bisons, crows. The souls surrounding him continued to decrease. As the last American eagle soul entered, the red light in his eyes and body disappeared, and then he fell to the ground and fell into a coma.
