Chapter 67 The God of Salt Sect
Xun An Youyou woke up. He looked around and found that he and his other companions were tied to a cylinder. Next to it was the desolate yellow earth, and the white cylinders were extremely abrupt.
"What's going on?" Xun An's head hurts, and it took him a while to remember what happened before he fell into a coma.
In the salt pond, he only saw the divine power in the sky covering the earth, and then everyone fell into a coma.
"Are we kidnapped?" Looking at the place where we were and others, these cylinders were inserted into the earth, with ditches filled with white liquid between them.
"This is some kind of formation." Xun An recalled Professor Linggong's knowledge and calmly analyzed: "The pillars that tied us should be totem poles. Is that god planning to use us as sacrifices?"
If you look closely, there are no less than five hundred totem poles erected in this formation, and the range covered by this formation is even wider.
On the gray altar at the core of the formation, the man holding a golden staff muttered and kept waving the artifact in his hand. With his driving, white particles poured into the ditches of the formation, forming a liquid similar to water flowing slowly.
"Ah--" When the liquid flowed through a totem pole, the mortal tied up on it screamed, and then turned into a blood and energy that penetrated into the formation below.
"Blood Sacrifice!" Xun An looked ugly: "Is this going to use salt and mortals to perform a blood sacrifice?"
Suddenly, he felt his vest cool down and his physical strength was slowly recovering.
"Who!" Xun An seemed to feel something and looked at another totem pole beside him, where he was tied up with one of his companions.
However, he was originally just a companion of a salt-making worker, but now he has a different calmness. He was tied behind his hands and pinched the magic seals to help him heal his wounds with spells.
"You..." Xun An was stunned. When did his companion do magic?
"Are you a spy who is ambushing the Ling Palace?" In an instant, Xun An thought of the power struggle between Wang Ting and Ling Palace.
"Worker" smiled: "Don't worry, you are your own people."
Ji Le secretly observed the altar through the unconscious citizen in the form of a spiritual god.
"Looking at the number of people here, I believe that not only the workers in the Xiaguo Yanchi Lake, but also the mortals from other places were also arrested. As for those salts..."
Seeing that all the clean salt that was plundered into the formation below, Ji Le's expression felt a little distressed. However, this also made him more clear: "Salt Mine" has some other mystery!
After carefully surveillance of the nearby environment, Ji Le said to Xun An again: "Have peace of mind, I will save you." Then, the worker fell into a coma again.
In Yongle Palace, Ji Le's eyes were closed and facing the north.
Suddenly, the brush in his hand quickly waved, and golden spiritual power brilliance rendered on the jade painting board in front of him. The heroic lines gradually painted into the scene of the altar, and even the current situation of Xun An and others were depicted one by one.
Yang Ke, Yu Mom and Liu Sheng, who were following each other, changed their colors at the same time.
"Blood Sacrifice? Ning Yuanhe--" The great witch held Yang Ke's arm tightly, fearing that Xun An and others would become the next sacrifice.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll go save someone right away." Yang Ke whispered to comfort Yu Mom and hid the worries in his eyes. He understood that at this moment, he must not panic. Ning Yuan was still waiting for him to save him.
Liu Sheng whispered to the soldiers around him, and waited for Ji Le to complete the teleportation channel and rushed to rescue people immediately.
Young man, Fu Hao, and Shi Huang were also watching in the hall.
Seeing that the jade plate could not bear the power of Ji Le, subtle cracks appeared, he frowned and said to Yu Ma: "The material of this jade plate is still not good, there is no better material in the Ling Palace?"
Yu Ma was in a mess. When the young man repeated it again, she came to her senses and whispered: "There are still materials. A few pieces of chalcedony that had been mined in the mine for five hundred years. However, it would be far from a single day to use those chalcedony to make magic tools."
"Then you have to prepare quickly. I heard that the two alchemists of Taiping Sect had good skills in refining weapons, so I turned around and asked them to do it. There were also paintbrushes and gold and jade, so I prepared a golden pen for him. By the way, it is best to use the fur of the divine beast to the pen head."
"There are many things in the Spirit Palace, but metal objects..." Yu Yu thought for a while: "I'll go back and go through the warehouse."
At this moment, colorful glow suddenly rose in the hall. Ji Le shouted loudly: "It's done!"
When the scenery was finished, Ji Le quickly swung his brush on the jade board and poured out a gorgeous rainbow bridge.
Yang Ke, who was waiting, jumped onto the rainbow bridge without saying a word and rushed to the other end.
Seeing this, Liu Sheng quickly shouted: "Everyone, come with me!" He led a hundred elite soldiers to chase Yang Ke to the altar.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Le planned to follow him, but the young man quickly pulled his collar and said, "Don't make trouble!"
Shi Huangshi, Fu Hao followed him to persuade him.
"The national spirit is related to the safety of the country, and you should not act without action!"
"How can I take risks at will with my own risk?"
The two of them dragged Ji Le and slowly pulled back, but Ji Le showed a righteous look and said with a stern voice: "No, the people are killed outside, and I am the incarnation of the country, so how can I sit idly by and ignore it!"
As he said that, he wanted to go over and help, not listening to Cangjie and Fu Hao's persuasion at all.
"Why are you talking to him so much?" The young man looked impatient and had a handsome face. He pulled, carried, and threw Ji Le back to the main seat.
"Save people? You need to go? I think you are planning to go and play?"
Ji Le looked unhappy: "I just plan to go out and take a look. You really want to keep me in Jiugong City for the rest of your life!"
Since his time traveling, he has never left the territory of Xia Kingdom. It is like a bird in a cage, protected by everyone. This is also a situation that many national spirits have to face.
"Besides, that formation is indeed dangerous. Yang Ke and the others may not be easy to do."
Shi Huangshi and Fu Hao looked at each other, and stepmother Xin stepped forward to comfort her and said, "No matter how dangerous it is, with Yang Ke, the demigod, here, what else should I worry about? Shi Huang and I will follow up and take them out for advice and help them return home." With a move, the military flag in Lingshan flew into her sleeves and stepped into the passage to catch up with Yang Ke and his party.
After she left, the passage disappeared and the Emperor Shi left in the main hall.
Emperor Shi paused and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Well, let's follow me and wait for the news. And we have to try to solve the Yanchi matter here." Ji Le sorted out his clothes on the main seat and changed into a serious expression: "Just make this joke, let's discuss the serious matter next."
It is true that Ji Le wants to go out and save people. But he understands his identity and knows that after Yang Ke leaves, he must be in the Jiugong City.
From the beginning, his purpose was to let Fu Hao or Shi Huang follow him and declare his presence on his side. To save people was not Yang Ke's own achievements, but the joint actions of the Linggong and the Wang Court.
Ji Le made this attitude, and Shi Huangshi and the young man sat down again. Seeing this, Yu Ma originally planned to leave, but was stopped by Ji Le: "It's not a problem, please stay and listen."
He took out the essence left by King Hei Pi and asked Cangjie: "Old man, how about you tell me to summon Susha?"
Susha family, an ancient Huangdi minister, was good at managing salt, and later generations honored him as the "Salt Sect".
Salt is an indispensable part of life. Since the Zhou Dynasty, China has had the "Salt Law" and set up salt officials to manage salt administration. Salt administration has been a key project of corruption and fraud for thousands of years. The belief in the Salt Sect has existed in the Eastern Han Dynasty and has been brought into the new world with the ancestors.
Yu's eyes lit up. If the Salt God comes, perhaps the problem of Xia Kingdom can be solved!
Cangjie hesitated for a moment and shook his head lightly: "I worship my ancestors as gods in China, and I don't know how many people hold the divine nature. I need to be careful when summoning the martyrs. Those who are gods still need to think about it again. After all, there is a sacred life in this world."
Since salt is a special item, it is best not to easily get involved in the "salt industry" before you are not clear about the attitude of the local gods.
"Further, even if Su Sha arrived, there was no salt root here, so what could it be?" After a pause, Cangjie said again: "Salt has always been produced, either by collecting sea braised or refining, or by using well braised or refining, or by scraping alkaline earth braised or refining, or by using salt crystals to refining. Now there is no salt brine near Jiugongcheng, how can salt be produced?"
Youth: "The old man checked the records but still couldn't find the source of clean salt in other countries?"
"There are two salt wells and one salt mine, but it has been leached and cannot be used at present."
"Chiefing? Can't you dig deeper?" the young man said dissatisfied: "Maybe, there is still a surplus in the depths of the salt mine."
Ji Le: "Old man, draw the address first."
Shi Huangshi had no choice but to mark the three locations he found on the map.
When Yu Yu saw these three locations, he suddenly realized and pointed to a salt well and said, "This salt well is owned by Alu Kingdom. It was defeated by us back then. This salt well was accepted together, but this salt well could no longer produce salt. As for these two places..."
"One is the Fangke tribe and the other is the Dachi Kingdom." After Shi Huang reminded, Yu Yu stopped talking. These two places were also surrounding forces annexed by Xia Kingdom. Since Shi Huang said that these two places were empty, I believe what he said was true.
"The Xia Kingdom annexed so many small countries and tribes. According to each tribe, every country needs to provide clean salt. I don't think other small countries have no way to make salt." Ji Le thought for a while and asked the young man to go to the door to ring the bell: "Call the God of Zongbu, I'm going to ask how their Ayang tribe originally picked salt."
"No need." Cui Jing walked into the hall wearing a fairy skirt: "I know that your highness is worried about the salt pond, so I deliberately went to the great spirits to ask about the method of salt making."
Ji Le laughed: "You girl are smart and understand my heart. Tell me, what are the methods used by other great spirits?"
Cui Jing glanced at Yu Xiao and said softly: "The salt-making methods in the hands of these great spirits are mostly related to magical techniques. Among them, the method of the Ayang tribe is to prepare an altar and then precipitate salt particles from the sunlight."
"Can salt come out of the sun?" Ji Le was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "It's really mysterious in the mythical era. I didn't expect that there was such a way to produce salt."
"Old man, since you can extract clean salt from the sunlight, you may not be able to use the magical power of Susha. I am looking forward to boiling the sea into salt."
