Chapter 97: Great Shaman
Shen Xiang arrived first.
Lei Zongliang and Zhou Mingrui followed closely behind.
Seeing this situation, Su Ri came to his senses. The snake corpse was gone. Although the princess was a shaman, she had only learned the art of taming snakes, which was a burden in this situation.
"Princess……"
Su Ri slowly retreated.
When the three people on the opposite side saw that they were about to run away, Shen Xiang immediately used "Controlling the Sword with Qi", Lei Zongliang raised the five-eyed gun and aimed it at the two of them, and Zhou Mingrui readied his spear.
Three moves in succession!
The long sword, the thunderbolt ball, and the flying spear were instantly close, and all were aimed at the pearl!
Su Ri was startled, and hurriedly used his body to block, trying to protect the princess at all costs, but at this moment, a curse was heard: "...Tengger Uzhisiahu (Mongolian: May the Eternal Heaven bless you)..."
It was a long, low sigh.
Old and melancholy, just listening to it makes one feel that this person may die at any time.
A hunchbacked old man with gray hair and a fur robe appeared from the other end of the passage.
He was dusty and covered in dirt. He looked very old, and his aging was accelerating at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the gray hair on his head turned silver, his body became shorter and shorter, and his skin became more and more wrinkled...
Although he is old, he is as fast as a ghost.
He dodged and stood in front of Mingzhu and Su Ri. He pushed forward with one hand, releasing his true energy to form a layer of water-blue energy shield. The long sword, thunder ball, and flying spear were all frozen in mid-air!
"Great Shaman!"
“Master!”
Su Ri and Mingzhu exclaimed in unison, with joy, but more of surprise and panic!
His body...
Shen Xiang and Lei Zongliang's faces changed drastically: "The Immortal God Art, the leader of the Shamanism!"
The Shamanism lost all its elite members twenty years ago, and only one true believer returned to the Chahar tribe with two black-scaled golden flame snakes.
He naturally became the new leader of Shamanism.
There is not much information about this leader.
Because he was seriously ill, he rarely went out.
It is said that he was able to break out of the encirclement of the Ming army because he used the forbidden technique of the shamanism "Changshengtian Shengong" to burn his life.
But because of this, he is still alive and dying.
Shamanism was almost wiped out overnight, and Tibetan Tantric Buddhism took advantage of the situation to rise. After twenty years of development, it has replaced Shamanism and become the new major religion in Mongolia!
The Vajra Sect, in particular, had a large number of followers on the grassland because they had joined the most powerful tribal leader, Altan Khan.
Only the Chahar tribe still retained their primitive beliefs and respectfully called the shaman leader the Great Shaman. It was still the state religion of the Khan's court and was deeply trusted by the Great Khan's grandson.
But it is an indisputable fact that Shamanism is in a period of transition. The leaders of the shamanism were all defeated by the Ming army, let alone the followers who have learned little.
Today's Shamanism can be said to be supported by this one person, the rest are useless!
Unexpectedly, he had to rush here in such a hurry for this matter, as if he had "calculated" that Mingzhu would be in such a disaster. He did not hesitate to use the forbidden technique of "Changshengtian Divine Art" again with his dying body in his arms, just to save his disciple.
The so-called Changshengtian is the supreme ruler of all things in the universe believed by shamanism.
Shamanism believes that "all things have spirits", whether the sun, the moon, water, fire, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, mountains, rivers and land all have spiritual powers, and through worship and practice, one can obtain the infinite power of nature.
This is where the "Eternal Heaven Divine Art" comes from.
This technique can be used through internal and external training methods to blend the energy of heaven and earth, the power of water and fire, and the might of wind and thunder, and turn it to your own benefit.
The sky is infinite, but man is finite.
"The Immortal God's Art" contains six divine powers: heaven, earth, water, fire, wind and thunder. Due to the limitations of human physique and temperament, ordinary people can only choose one or two to practice.
The Great Shaman practices the power of water.
He simply raised his hand, gathering the surrounding water vapor, and the thunderbolt ball that was about to explode sizzled out and could no longer burn.
The long sword and flying spear fell to the ground, and the great shaman covered Su Ri and Ming Zhu and retreated quickly. At the same time, he stretched out his skinny five fingers towards the Flame-Winged Eagle!
The blood in the Flame-Winged Eagle's body was drawn towards them like a river bursting its banks! It flowed towards Mingzhu and Su Ri respectively!
The eagle's body shrank rapidly, and the blood and life essence in its body were drained away!
Grass!
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and angry, especially Cao Jinxing. "I've been busy for a long time just to taste the eagle blood, and now it's almost done, and you, an old hand, dare to snatch the food from my mouth?"
Without saying a word, he took out a [Tianwang Pill] and swallowed it, using his internal energy to circulate his qi to speed up the digestion of the medicine.
Shen Xiang's figure flashed, and he pointed his "Unparalleled Sword Finger" at the Great Shaman's heart; Lei Zongliang put away the Five-Eyed Gun, and used the Lei family's inherited Thunderbolt Fist, and fire energy burst out from his whole body; Zhou Mingrui performed the Thunder Palm!
Three moves were launched at the same time again.
Three figures approached instantly.
Swords, fists, and palms attack together!
The great shaman raised his other hand calmly, and the water-blue energy shield appeared again, blocking the three people. His other hand attracted a large amount of blood to gather towards Su Ri and Mingzhu.
Shen Xiang and Lei Zongliang are both at the Tongyou realm, Zhou Mingrui also comes from a famous family and is quite powerful. The great shaman can take on the killing moves of three people with one hand, and at the same time, he has to cover the two younger ones as they swallow their essence and blood, and his true energy is rapidly consumed!
He is getting older!
But the power gained with life is strong enough. He can fight three people with one hand and not be at a disadvantage. The water power around his body sticks to the true energy of the three people like a quagmire.
Birds can bleed up to six percent of their body weight.
The blood of the Flame-Winged Eagle was not excessively abundant, but it turned into two thin blood streams. Under the control of the Great Shaman's water power, they condensed into two blood beads as big as babies' fists, emitting dazzling red light!
This blood bead is the essence of the Flame-winged Eagle. Eating it can greatly improve your martial arts skills!
Su Ri and Mingzhu's eyes lit up and they opened their mouths to swallow!
"fourteen!"
Suddenly there was a loud roar!
A murderous white shadow rushed over!
Its body quickly grew larger, like a lynx, and it let out a low growl and rushed towards the two blood beads in the air at an unparalleled speed!
"You bold beast!"
Su Ri's face was grim. How could he let a beast snatch away the treasure that was right in his mouth!
Without saying a word, he slapped Xuanyuan Fourteen!
The power of "Great Prajna Dragon Elephant Kung Fu" is unmatched, but the speed is a little bit lacking. Xuanyuan Fourteen twisted his waist and hit the air with an unparalleled force, causing the earth to crack and sand and rocks to fly!
At this moment, a black figure took advantage of the moment when he made a move, quickly approached, and slapped Mingzhu with a fierce and sharp palm!
《Eight Desolations Sword Palm》: The Blue Sky and the Yellow Spring!
This palm was full of power, and the power was huge and domineering! As soon as the palm came out, everyone in the cave was shocked.
Especially Zhou Mingrui, who is also at the fifth level of the innate realm, the power of this move is far greater than his Thunder Palm!
Is this a farm hand?
"No! Princess!"
Su Ri was so scared that his hair stood on end!
Even he had to use all his strength . Princess Mingzhu didn't know any martial arts, so she would be killed if she was hit by this move!
Mingzhu was so frightened that her face turned pale!
"well……"
A long sigh.
The great shaman grunted, and used all his strength to repel Shen Xiang and the other two. The price he paid was that his body became older and older, and he even seemed unable to open his eyes. He flashed in front of Mingzhu and raised his palm to face Cao Jinxing's palm!
boom!
One has great inner strength, but looks haggard and weak; the other has a strong fighting spirit, and although his inner strength is weak, he is born with supernatural powers!
The two palms came together and there was a loud bang!
The remaining force of the palm was like a hurricane, sweeping in all directions!
Cao Jinxing flew backwards with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. The great shaman was also staggering, with a deathly look on his face.
He stretched out his hand and tried to collect the two blood beads into his sleeves. He couldn't delay any longer. If he had eaten them just now, he and Su Ri would have killed all the Han people in the cave! But at this time, the other side was staring at him covetously. There was no chance for him to stick to them. He could only take them away first and talk about it after he left.
He was thinking of making another plan, but Fourteen kept staring at the two blood beads. These were the master's things, maybe they were also his own things. How could he let this old man take them away!
“Ouch!!!”
A wild roar shook the whole area!
"The True Tibetan Mantra" [Vajra Lion's Roar]!
It unleashed its full force and came so suddenly that Mingzhu's eardrums were caught off guard and began to bleed. She let out screams, and even the Great Shaman's true energy stagnated slightly!
At this critical moment, Xuanyuan Shisi rushed towards the blood bead!
At the same time, with two hissing sounds, the Embroidered Spring Sword and the Snow Soul Sword were unsheathed at the same time. The long swords were like dragons, leaping in the air and heading straight for Mingzhu's brows! The long swords were unsheathed, flashing with lightning, and pointed directly at her throat!
Cao Jinxing sneered.
Old school dish!
I wonder if you can stop it!
If you don't stop me, I'll chop her into pieces!
If you block me, I’ll chop you into pieces!
"Princess!"
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Su Rihan was not afraid of death. He stood in front of Mingzhu and raised his palm to block the Xuepo Sword!
At that moment, he saw a black lightning passing through his body! Then the world spun around, his head flew into the air, and blood spurted out!
"No!!!"
Mingzhu screamed in shock, her face full of disbelief.
"It's your turn next!"
Cao Jinxing swung his sword and turned around to chop Mingzhu again!
"presumptuous!"
The great shaman's face was gloomy. He dodged again, pinched the Embroidered Spring Knife with two fingers, and slapped Cao Jinxing with one palm!
But before he could exert his strength to hit Cao Jinxing, the Ningguang Sword on the ground suddenly popped up like a poisonous snake and stabbed towards his chest - Shen Xiang controlled the sword with his Qi, and his sword moves were sharp and vicious.
The Great Shaman was slightly surprised, and quickly changed his palm into fingers, and then took the Ningguang Sword.
Cao Jinxing cooperated tacitly, loosened his sword, and hit him in the chest with a backhand Paiyun Palm!
With a crack, he was seriously injured, the cold poison entered his body, seven or eight ribs were broken, and he flew backwards.
The great shaman vomited blood and knew that there was nothing he could do. He picked up the pearl and quickly retreated, disappearing into the underground passage.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Cao Jinxing immediately turned around and looked at Fourteen.
"Meow~"
Fourteen meowed as if asking for credit, a smile reflected in the mandarin duck's eyes, and he loosened his claws, revealing the two red blood beads under his claws!
…
The great shaman carried the pearl out of the mountain and ran for four or five miles before he stopped. He spat out a mouthful of black blood. He was older and was corroded by the cold poison, and his body was icy cold.
“Master!”
Mingzhu burst into tears and knelt in front of the Great Shaman, crying, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on doing it myself, you wouldn't have been hurt like this..."
"Silly boy……"
The Great Shaman sat on the ground, shook his head, looked up at the sky and said: "I am a dead man. I am content to be able to live for twenty years and pass on Shamanism... I told you that you can't rely too much on the Golden Flame Snake. Its poison is not incurable. We suffered a great defeat twenty years ago. Now, we can't... Alas!"
The Great Shaman sighed.
Mingzhu would never listen to any of these words in the past. The Golden Flame Snake's means of controlling people's hearts are so cunning and unpredictable. Wouldn't it be foolish to abandon it?
But when a big change happened, he realized that his master was right. The Golden Flame Snake was not invincible. Once the mother snake died, everything would come to nothing!
Che Gen and Su Ri also died.
Twenty years of hard work, all in vain...
Thinking about what she had done in the past, Mingzhu couldn't stop crying.
"The Golden Flame Snake is an external object. Even if you take advantage of it temporarily and manipulate people's hearts to gain the world, how can it last long... The Khan has already understood it, and it is not too late for you to understand it now."
The great shaman touched her head lovingly.
"Mingzhu, do you know why I have only let you practice the secret technique of the "Eternal Heaven Divine Art" instead of the mental method over the years?"
Mingzhu was startled and then shook her head desperately.
The Great Shaman smiled with relief: "You are born smart and compatible with the power of water. From the moment I accepted you as my apprentice, I have decided to pass on my power of water to you in the future! So, even if you insist on going your own way and are determined to find the Flame-Winged Eagle and ripen the Mother Snake, I will let you do so, because you still have a chance to make up for the time you spent on it..."
"No!"
Mingzhu shook her head desperately and cried, "I don't want it, Master, I want you to be fine!"
The Great Shaman sighed, "After using the [Blood Burning Curse] twice, I am now exhausted and beyond help. Mingzhu, Shamanism, from now on, depends on you..."
As he spoke, he took his last breath, flew into the air, descended from the sky, pressed his palms on Mingzhu's head, and poured all his water power into her body!
Water flows to low places .
The mighty power of water rushes down!
His body began to transform from old to withered.
After a while, his internal strength was gone and his body was weak.
relatively.
Mingzhu's realm increased rapidly and she possessed a powerful internal force. Even though there were many deficiencies in the inheritance, she still climbed to the peak of the innate realm in one fell swoop.
The Great Shaman fell to the ground.
Completely cut off from life...
Mingzhu came back to her senses, looked at the corpse on the ground, slowly picked him up, and tears flowed silently. At this moment, her hatred for those Han people was stronger than ever!
Twenty years ago, they took away their father. Twenty years later, they took away their master.
Mingzhu was filled with hatred.
The appearances of the Han people in the cave flashed through her mind one by one, especially the man who killed Surij and Chegen: "I, Borjigin Gegen Subuda, swear by the Eternal Heaven that I will make sure that you die without a complete corpse!"
