After visiting the graves for a whole morning, Su Qingchen and Mo Zhu came down the mountain and headed towards Tianwen Terrace.

The citizens of the city were also rushing to Tianwen Terrace. Those who had met Mo Zhu in the temple before would take the initiative to chat with Mo Zhu.

When there are a lot of people, it is inevitable that people will squeeze together. No one can see Su Qingchen, and no one will leave space for Mo Zhu. So after going down the mountain, Su Qingchen naturally rode on Mo Zhu's shoulders.

Since he didn't have to walk by himself and the view was good, Su Qingchen's mood became even better.

Tianwen Terrace is a stone platform with three sides facing the sky on the cliff of Tianlang Mountain in the north of the city. Important sacrificial activities in the city are held here.

It was still a while before noon, but many citizens had already gathered at the cliff, and the witch doctor was among the crowd.

Mo Zhu walked up to the witch doctor specifically.

"Grandma Shi." Mo Zhu greeted politely.

The witch doctor looked at Mo Zhu kindly, then paused for a moment before asking, "Is Lord Di Nuo God here too?"

"Yes." The witch doctor is also a sorcerer and is sensitive to things outside the mortal world. Mo Zhu did not hide it.

"Hehehe." The witch doctor smiled happily and didn't say much. He just nodded slightly towards Mo Zhu, which was considered a greeting to Su Qingchen.

Su Qingchen nodded to accept the greeting, even though the witch doctor couldn't see it.

"Grandma Shi, have you ever encountered a white fox demon in the city?" Mo Zhu asked straight to the point.

"My cultivation is still rudimentary, so I can't see specific monsters yet, but I can sense them. With the gods' blessing, I've rarely sensed any evil spirits over the years. However, when you mentioned the white fox demon..."

Granny Shi fell into deep thought and then said, "I heard the high priest mention it."

"When, when?" Su Qingchen asked anxiously on Mo Zhu's shoulder.

Mo Zhu pretended nothing happened and asked, "What did he say?"

"I went to the high priest because the evil of the disease and epidemic had no effect even with the evil-repelling herbs and talismans. He said he didn't normally sense anything unusual, and he couldn't summon the help of the previous low-level Nuo gods. However, he did briefly sense a white fox demon during the petition ceremony regarding whether to marry the chieftain's wife."

"There was no epidemic at that time, right?" Mo Zhu asked.

"Yes, the epidemic started after my wife got married."

"I also heard that you were also infected with the plague before?"

"Yes." Granny Shi answered briefly.

"Did you feel anything at that time?"

It is said that the more vulnerable a person is, the more likely he is to see evil things, so Mo Zhu asked about it.

"I... didn't." Granny Shi said in a low voice.

"She does." Su Qingchen made a quick judgment.

Mo Zhu just nodded, as if responding to Su Qingchen, and as if responding to Granny Shi.

"Woo..."

The heavy and long sound of ox horns was heard, and the sacrificial team had already set foot on the sacred road leading to Tianwen Terrace.

The high priest wore a black and blue robe, a Nuo mask, and walked at the front of the team with an ox bone staff in his hand.

The sacrificial team was huge, but needless to say, Su Qingchen saw the chieftain king and his wife at a glance.

"Madam is so beautiful." Su Qingchen exclaimed.

"No wonder the Tusi King wanted to marry her no matter what. If I were him, I would marry her too..."

Taking advantage of the fact that no one could listen, Su Qingchen spoke recklessly.

And Mo Zhu, who was standing under him, seemed to tense up.

The high priest stepped onto the Tianwen Terrace amid the sound of trumpets and drums.

At noon, everyone stands on their own shadow, and the sun shines the widest on the earth.

"Woo..." The horn sounded again, and the high priest chanted spells and danced with the ox bone staff.

The citizens knelt down one after another to pray for the gods' blessing.

At the signal of the high priest, the chieftain and his wife walked hand in hand up to the Tianwen Terrace. The chieftain bit his finger and dripped his blood into the sacrificial wine, while his wife next to him was no less impressive. She also bit her finger and dripped her blood into the sacrificial wine.

"What courage." Su Qingchen praised his wife highly.

The high priest raised the wine glass and poured the wine with sacrificial blood onto the Tianwen Terrace.

As soon as the wine touched the ground, black smoke came out.

"Black smoke..." Many city residents saw it and panicked.

"It's a disaster! It's a disaster..." Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
