Chapter 223 (1/2)

The signal turns green.

The awakening ceremony is ready.

Xu Jiu stood up and took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, he was a little nervous.

Through Jing Shu's description, he learned that during the awakening ceremony, many Dharma arrays once found in ”unknown” relics will be started, so that he can communicate with ancient sages and obtain a lot of knowledge that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

This process sounds simple, but the changes in the ritual process are uncontrollable.

Especially the so-called ”ancient sage”, there is no clear definition of him or it in the secret society.

To put it bluntly, those who improve the awakening ceremony only know that doing so can achieve the result of communicating with the ancient sages, but they don't understand why the ancient sages appear, let alone what the origin of the ancient sages is.

Not to mention that Xu Jiu was the first person to carry out the awakening ceremony on the premise of having a certain special ability.

”Accidents may occur during the ceremony, and the secret society is not responsible for it.”

This is the person in charge of the secret society who informed Xu Jiu of the risk in advance.

In fact, there have been many failures in the awakening ceremony within the secret society in recent years. They have never said that they can guarantee 100% success.

Put the necklace that may prevent energy flow in Jingshu's hand for the time being. Xu Jiu stood in front of the door and watched the former turn into the corridor on the left.

She will watch the flow in the main control room.

During the ceremony, only the parties are allowed to exist in the venue.

The footsteps went away, and soon Xu Jiu was the only one left in this place. He looked up at the green signal light, but the door in front of him was never opened.

”Pa ~”

Just when Xu Jiu thought the door was broken, there was a soft sound behind him,

The light suddenly dimmed. Looking back, I saw that the lights in the whole corridor were going out.

Not long after, the signal lights on the door beam went dark.

Because it is underground, there is no saying of natural light. As soon as the light goes dark, the surroundings immediately fall into complete darkness.

For ordinary people, I'm afraid most of them will be frightened at this time. Xu Jiu stays quietly in place and even converges his original perception spread around all the time.

Because the door in front of me has been opened, and there are small lights embedded in the soil on the ground.

you 're right.

With these small lights that can only illuminate the surrounding areas, Xu Jiu found that the ground at the bottom of the secret society is actually full of soft soil, and his feet can still leave marks.

With the financial resources of the secret society, it is not difficult to lay the floor here, but if they don't, there is only one possibility. This is a specially arranged area.

Xu Jiu quickly realized that they were not turning off the lights for themselves. They didn't want to see the surrounding layout, but the ceremony needed to do so.

Because of this, he stopped perceiving his surroundings.

Walking along the small lights on the ground, there was a faint whisper in the surrounding darkness.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed on the small lamp in front, and the wind blew in my ears, like something hiding in the shadow to breathe.

They are watching Xu Jiu, and his steps are more and more calm.

After about 20 steps, a stone platform two meters long and one meter wide appeared in front of the small lamp. When Xu Jiu approached, the edge position left prompt handwriting with phosphor.

'lie down', 'wait'

Xu Jiu tidied up his clothes, did not hesitate, and directly lay on the stone platform, waiting for the beginning of the ceremony.

Totally enclosed main control room.

Several secretaries who presided over the ceremony were also watching the situation in the venue, just through night vision cameras.

Even if the main control room is only a wall away from the site, they still don't have the idea of opening a window, as if there are some invisible existence on the other side, which can only be peeped by these cold machines.

”Mr. Xu arrived at the ceremony platform, and the ceremony officially began, ready to inject source energy.”

Wrapped in bandages, the man with only a pair of pale eyes straightened up and issued instructions in a hoarse voice.

Beside him stood several other mystics, including Jing Shu, but they kept a distance from the bandage.

There was a decadent smell on the bandage man, as if he had been eroded. At the moment, some of his bandages showed some earthy yellow, which looked very strange.

He himself didn't care much about the combing of his colleagues, and turned to the stone plate in the center of the console.

Unlike the high-tech equipment that can be seen everywhere in the main control room, this stone plate seems to have just been brought back from a relic, and the surface is full of mottled marks left by years of erosion.

Its diameter is nearly 1.5 meters. There are fist sized pits in the center and on the edge. The inside has been filled with source energy spar, and there are crisscross gullies between these pits.

The gullies are connected with each other to form one special symbol after another. There are echoes between the symbols, which are distributed on the stone plate with a specific law, and finally form a mysterious whole.

Several mystics occupied specific positions around the stone plate, and Jing Shu was not involved.

She has been a mystic for less than two months and is not qualified to contact the contents related to the awakening ceremony.

However, due to the current shortage of manpower, she was also assigned to work.

Wrap the necklace around her right wrist and go to the original position of the bandage. When they start the ceremony, Jing Shu needs to stand here and give the information in the ceremony field through the image presented on the screen.

As the host, the bandage man should first raise his hand to Yuanjing in the center of the stone plate and begin to recite the mantra. The next few people also put their right hand on the top of the crystal stone on the outer edge of the plate.

Jing Shu looks at the screen and seems to feel that the stone plate is too hard. Her hands are behind her head. Xu Jiu, who is in a daze with her legs crossed, purses her mouth, as if she has noticed something. Suddenly she turns around to see the position of the stone plate.

Zi ~ Zi~

The light on the top of the main control room flickered suddenly, with uncertain light and shade.

The bright incandescent light somehow got a layer of obscure luster. The bandage singing the mantra began to have uncontrollable spasms. The yellowing bandages on both sides of the neck and cheeks fluctuated, and something seemed to grow underneath.

The bandage man didn't respond to this. For example, he knew that his body would be abnormal, but he suddenly pressed down the palm of the original crystal suspended in the center of the stone platform.

The sharp tip of the spar pierced the flesh and several blood beads slipped.

At the same time.

With the rising tone of the spell, filamentous black lines began to flow into the light blue spar.

Next second.

The surface of the spar began to overflow with blue light mixed with black and red silk lines, which was injected into the gullies that originally existed on the stone plate, so as to spread to the rest of the stone plate.

The mantra on the stone plate lit up one after another.

The crystal stone under the control of several other mystics burst into light.

Jingshu turns back and looks at the monitoring screen again.

The ceremony has begun.

Energy is surging.

Xu Jiu instinctively noticed that the surrounding environment was abnormal.
