Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

On the day of sacrifice.

Although the sacrifice did not begin until noon, Su Qingchen and Mo Zhu set out at dawn. This was also the first time that Su Qingchen had the opportunity to leave the temple and take a look at the Tusi City.

"Wow, their house is just like the one in the book, built with so many stones."

Su Qingchen felt curious as he walked, but Mo Zhu had been running around in the city for a few days and was somewhat accustomed to it. He just watched Su Qingchen talk about all kinds of new things along the way.

"This is the first city dweller to die from the plague."

Mo Zhu brought Su Qingchen to a deserted tomb in the deep mountains surrounded by morning mist.

Now all the crises in the city seem to be caused by the plague, so in the past few days, Mo Zhu has searched almost all the graves of the plague victims, and today he brought Su Qingchen to check them out.

"It's an abandoned grave, his family..." Although Su Qingchen had a pretty good guess, he still asked.

"They all died in the following years." Mo Zhu replied.

"Yeah." Su Qingchen nodded.

"In the darkness, heaven and earth exist together." Su Qingchen chanted the Yin Ling Curse, placing his right palm on the grave covered with prostrate plants.

Mo Zhu also closed his eyes and concentrated, placing his palms on the plants and soil on the grave.

After a moment, Su Qingchen opened his eyes in confusion.

"Do you have any feeling?" Su Qingchen asked.

"It's very faint and cannot be distinguished." Mo Zhu replied.

The soil and plants in the tomb are nourished by the remaining consciousness and body of the deceased. Over time, they will become one with the deceased. Generally speaking, Su Qingchen and Mo Zhu can sense the deceased from these soil and plants, but at this moment they got nothing.

They did not stay here for long, but went to some graves of the dead, but could hardly sense anything.

"Mo Zhu, the graves of the plague victims we just looked at were mostly covered with plants. It's understandable if there are still survivors in the family, but some of the abandoned graves..."

Su Qingchen seemed to have discovered something.

"There should be woody plants growing freely in abandoned tombs," said Mo Zhu.

"Yes... Moreover, there aren't any wandering souls in this mountain."

This also made Su Qingchen feel very strange, because it was a vicious death, and there should be many souls of the deceased remaining in the city.

"I've been running around in the city and the surrounding mountains and forests these days, but I haven't seen any dead souls in the city, not even other demons or monsters." Mo Zhu said.

"There is only that white fox demon..." Su Qingchen pondered.

They finally arrived at the grave of the previous god's servant, and the plants on the grave had just begun to sprout.

Mo Zhu started to dig it out directly.

"What are you doing? Don't move!" Su Qingchen was shocked.

"I'm just taking a look... I know priests can't dig graves..." Mo Zhu stopped.

"No one of you can dig graves! You said yesterday that you wanted to 'take out' the belongings of the divine servants." Su Qingchen's worries were justified.

"I forgot what I said yesterday..." Mo Zhu explained while looking carefully at a small hole he had just dug.

Su Qingchen was speechless.

"Look, sir..." said Mo Zhu.

Su Qingchen moved closer and found a lot of gray powdery stuff under the soil.

Su Qingchen was about to reach out to touch it but was stopped by Mo Zhu.

"I'll do it." Mo Zhu said and reached out to pick up some.

"Cedar ash." said Mo Zhu.

"The flames of the cedar tree not only burn the plants on the grave, but also devour the final consciousness of the deceased. The cedar ash can cut off the communication between the gods and the deceased."

As Su Qingchen spoke, he felt the seriousness of the matter, but also seemed to be one step closer to the truth.

"It now seems that all the graves we have seen have been burned, and more than once," said Mo Zhu.
