Chapter 48 Shan Gen
"Ah... huh..." Shen Shuibi was so tired that she couldn't straighten her back: "Li Qi, why are we... moving stones? I'm so tired."
Shen Shuibi said this while holding the backpack on the old horse.
The backpack was tied with a vine and hung on the old horse. Shen Shuibi was responsible for stabilizing the backpack and putting stones in it.
She couldn't carry it on her back, so she could only pick up the stones one by one and put them in the backpack on the old horse's back, and then let the old horse carry it, and she supported it from the side.
Li Qi didn't have an old horse to use, so he could only move the stones himself and carry them up.
After all, he was a tracker, and it was common for him to be used as an animal.
No, it should be said that the profession of tracker itself is to be used as an animal.
Hearing Shen Shuibi's doubts, Li Qi explained: "You are on a whim, and so am I. The Five Clouds Technique also shows that there is a disaster of swords and weapons above my head, so I must be prepared."
"Of course I know I have to be prepared... So, what does this have to do with moving stones?" She was already completely damaged, and now there was another wave of heavy physical labor, so she was exhausted, so she couldn't help asking Li Qi.
Li Qi was carrying a big stone of three or four hundred kilograms on his back, and was carrying it up the mountain when he heard Shen Shuibi's question, "To make a trap, there are mountains and water here. Among the three of us, only I have the fighting power, so we still have to prepare first."
"However, this is almost done. You and Lao Ma can go and rest. I can do the rest by myself. There is not much left." Li Qi took a look and found that there was still about one-third that was not completed, but if he tried hard, he should be able to finish it by midnight.
However, Shen Shuibi shook her lips and still shook her head.
Lao Ma also hummed a few times, but did not retreat, but continued to carry the stone up the mountain.
Seeing this, Li Qi didn't say much.
Going up the mountain, he immediately set up an altar with stones.
Yes, he wanted to use the sacrificial method he had learned before to see if he could save a trump card.
"Mountain God, sacrifice with sacrifice..." Li Qi silently recited the statement in the book "Zhu".
The so-called sacrifice, sacrifice refers to pure-colored livestock, and livestock refers to edible livestock.
To sacrifice to the mountain god, pure-colored livestock should be used as sacrifices.
Where can I find pure-colored ones now?
Simple, isn't there an old horse next to him?
Although the old horse is old, as a dragon colt, his fur is pure black, and it is shiny black, very handsome.
So, he walked to the old horse with a knife.
The old horse took two steps back in fear.
"Come on, make that look..." Li Qi laughed and scolded: "I'm not really going to kill you."
The old horse snorted twice, looking very aggrieved.
But Li Qi couldn't really kill him for sacrifice. After all, they had been together for a few days, and the old horse and him had a close relationship. He couldn't do that kind of thing.
He cut the old horse's butt with a knife, collected some horse blood, and then cut a bunch of it from the old horse's elegant and handsome mane.
The old horse made two sounds of grievance.
Li Qi smiled and slapped him on the butt: "I'll give you a ray of Canglong spirit in two days, look at you!"
The old horse was delighted when he heard this, and walked away with his butt sticking out.
There was no need to care about that little wound, the bleeding stopped in 20 minutes, and Li Qi only took about 200 milliliters. For a body of the old horse, the dosage was about the same as a nosebleed.
And Li Qi took the old horse's blood and the old horse's mane and placed them on the altar made of stones.
"Chisel the stone and place the stele to appease the gods..."
"Sacrifice to the mountain god in the south, and offer sacrifices with wine..."
Li, originally, should be wine, but Li Qi didn't have it at this moment, so he took another meaning of the word "Li", which is Liquan, the meaning of sweet spring, and specially asked Shen Shuibi to run two mountains to get the sweet spring water from another mountain spring.
Sacrifice, wine, all complete.
The altar was also built with stones, and Li Qi also used some mechanical methods. He also did a special force analysis to ensure that although this thing looked like it was about to collapse, it would not collapse unless it encountered vibrations.
Even if it was going to collapse, it would collapse towards the spring under the cliff and would not hit him.
After identifying the direction, facing south, he offered the sacrifice.
Li Qi then used the back of the hatchet in his hand to smash a relatively regular stone and barely smashed out a human figure.
In fact, it can only be said that he smashed out a stone sunny doll, which can barely be considered a person...
Put this human figure on the altar.
Then, facing south, he began the ceremony of blessing people.
All spirits of heaven and earth, accept the qi and become the Tao.
In this world, not only those mountain spirits and water monsters can become mountain gods, there is another way, that is, the "mountain" itself becomes a god.
This is difficult. The mountain has spirits but no knowledge. If it is ignorant, it has no feeling. It cannot feel things and cannot practice.
Therefore, most mountain gods in the world are spirits, not the mountains themselves.
But what Li Qi wants to do now is to create a mountain god.
Is it possible? Basically impossible.
To do this, at least a village of people needs to worship every month for decades, and several generations need to be nurtured with incense to nurture some spiritual wisdom and gradually awaken. Then the weather and earth will nurture it for hundreds of years, and it will probably be born.
Therefore, it is highly likely that Li Qi will not be able to get the help of the mountain god for what he does.
But he knows it himself.
If there is a mountain god willing to help him, then he will really be able to rest assured, and there will be no danger at all. He does not expect such a pie in the sky to happen.
Therefore, the main purpose of this sacrifice is to exchange for a trace of mountain roots and earth energy.
This method was actually invented by other Zhu people and was recorded in the "Zhu" book.
The principle is to rely on the characteristics of these primitive mountain spirits, which are spiritual but unconscious, to call out some of the mountain spirits and put them into the carved stone statues. This is the first sentence he uttered: chiseling stones and setting up monuments to appease the spirits. .
Then, sacrifice this part and offer a ray of your own energy to imbue it with "human" characteristics.
In this way, this part of the mountain spirit will temporarily awaken to consciousness, but it will be as if the person is still in the stomach. Although it has consciousness, it has no spiritual wisdom.
In this way, although the part of the mountain spirit that was summoned was one with the original mountain spirit, there were differences, as if his hand suddenly had a brain.
The mountain spirits themselves will resist this change. Although they are unconscious, mountains and rivers actually have spirits, and they will eliminate such actions that try to pollute them.
Although this kind of pollution is nothing to them, the mountain spirit is extremely huge. If you want to completely pollute it with human Qi, it is estimated that more than a million people will have to sacrifice their blood. A wisp of Qi from one person will just make the mountain spirit spit.
Therefore, the mountain spirit will cut off this little part that is contaminated by human energy, and then leave, and will never respond to this person's sacrifice again. Even if the mountain spirit really becomes a god in the future, it will naturally hate this person.
But Li Qi no longer cares about so much.
This part of what the mountain spirit spit out was what Li Qi wanted.
The spirit of the mountain roots!
