"Help...help?"

Faced with this weak scholar who was blocking her way and pressing forward, Qin Ziyi could only retreat towards the altar, saying:

"What do you want me to do for you?"

But the weak scholar said quietly:

"This is an altar, and a blood sacrifice altar. Miss Qin, you were able to easily open the stone door here just now, which means you must have a connection with this place."

"That's it."

"Why don't we sacrifice a few more, let some blood flow, and see what's so special about this blood sacrifice? What do you think?"

The scholar's words were polite, but they made Qin Ziyi feel a chill in her heart.

blood sacrifice.

Can you still survive then?

"You can't do this, I... I'm a guide who's here to help." Qin Ziyi spoke quickly.

"Didn't Miss Qin just say that a gentleman should value others over himself and put others before himself? Now we need Miss Qin's help. I think Miss Qin, with such a warm heart, should not refuse to help us, right?" The weak scholar spoke again.

Qin Ziyi quickly shook her head.

She said that, but she never said she would die for them!

"Don't worry, Miss Qin. It's just a blood sacrifice. You may not die. We can give it a try first." The weak scholar said calmly, but his footsteps that approached step by step never stopped.

Try it???

Qin Ziyi was so frightened that she could only retreat hastily again subconsciously. But as a mortal with no cultivation, where could she retreat to?

Not long after.

Then it crashed into the blood sacrifice platform.

This made Qin Ziyi even more panicked. In a panic, she looked at other people for help, hoping that other outsiders could help her out and say a few good words for her.

Just a pity.

Everyone's gaze was filled with the same indifference and mockery.

It seemed that to these outsiders, the natives of Zhaoping Village were dead if they died.

Suddenly.

Qin Ziyi noticed that the only person in the crowd who didn't look at her with such a teasing look was this person. This moment was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and she cried for help without hesitation:

"Sui Yu'an, Sui Yu'an, please save me!"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to be sacrificed in blood!"

"Can you please take my place? If you offer a blood sacrifice on my behalf, I won't die."

"quick!"

"Come and help me!"

These words made Gu Xiu raise his eyebrows.

To be honest, he did intend to take action. He didn't care about Qin Ziyi's life or death, but the secret of the Zhaoping Qin family had not been solved yet. It was definitely better to keep Qin Ziyi than to let her die.

but……

Hearing Qin Ziyi's words, Gu Xiu gave up the idea of ​​taking action and just looked at the weak scholar who was also looking at him.

"If you want a blood sacrifice, you can find Sui Yu'an!"

"He was born and raised in Zhaoping Village, and he's a fool. He doesn't know as much about Zhaoping Village as I do. I can continue to lead the way for you, but you... you don't have to kill me!"

Qin Ziyi spoke again.

She had studied poetry and books diligently since she was young and was well-versed in classics. She could not die here. Even if it was against the gentleman's way to shift the blame to someone else, if she lost her life, what was the point of being a gentleman?

only……

What made Qin Ziyi despair was.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

The frail scholar only glanced at Gu Xiu, but quickly retracted his gaze. "Miss Qin was able to open the stone gate here just now, which means she has some connection with this place. You should be the best choice."

For this group of outsiders, whether it is the silly Sui Yu'an or the knowledgeable Qin Ziyi in front of them.

In fact, they are all the same.

Fortunately.

Just when Qin Ziyi had nowhere to retreat, Fang Lingyun in the crowd spoke up: "No need for blood sacrifice."

Ok?

The frail scholar looked back and saw Fang Lingyun pointing at a secret compartment in front of him: "All blood tanks eventually come here. This is the core of this place. If we can break through here, we should be able to gain something."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was immediately attracted over.

Qin Ziyi, who had been terrified to the extreme, felt as if she had been pardoned at this moment. She collapsed to the ground, leaning against the platform and gasping for breath, her eyes still filled with fear.

But no one cares about her situation.

Everyone had already gone to the place Fang Lingyun pointed out. After observing carefully for a while, they nodded in agreement.

"There is a formation in this place."

"It looks like a blood evil formation. If we really perform a blood sacrifice, the formation here will be activated."

"There's something in here that needs blood to nourish it. Could it be the Zhaoping Order?"

"Well, can you figure out how to break this formation?"

"..."

A group of people began to study seriously, but Gu Xiu did not join in the fun. Instead, he wandered around in the altar stone chamber, trying to find more clues.

There's something about this altar.

There were graffiti inside that were the same as those on both sides of the corridor outside, and two of them attracted Gu Xiu's attention.

The first one showed a figure covered in golden light, standing high in the clouds, overlooking the large number of people below. The people below were kneeling on the ground, kowtowing devoutly.

what is interesting is.

Although the figure covered in golden light was obviously carved with great care, even if the painting skills were very poor, it could still be vaguely seen that it was a figure with three heads and six arms.

what is this?

God?

Or the owner of this place?

Gu Xiu couldn't figure it out, so he simply looked at the second graffiti.

This graffiti has a lot of content.

It shows devout people cutting their wrists with pieces of debris, letting their blood drip onto the debris. In this picture, there are three similar pieces of debris, located in three different places.

more importantly.

In addition to these, this second graffiti has another very special feature, which is the god-like figure in the first graffiti.

Is also in it.

However, unlike the first graffiti, which showed an invincible and worshipped figure, the man in the second graffiti seemed to have suffered a serious injury and was lying on a bed, surrounded by countless believers who were constantly bowing and praying.

This made Gu Xiu squint his eyes.

"This secret realm once had a godlike master, worshipped and worshipped by everyone. But this person met with an accident and died on the spot, and even his token was broken into three pieces?"

"The god had an accident, but his followers did not give up."

"But you intend to... resurrect the gods?"

"Even willing to use his own blood to nurture the three token fragments?"

This was just Gu Xiu's guess. As to whether he was right or wrong, Gu Xiu himself couldn't be sure.

But if that's true.

So what is hidden inside is the token fragment?

Fragments of Zhaoping Order?

"Sui Yu'an!" Just as Gu Xiu was lost in thought, a cold voice suddenly rang out. Gu Xiu turned his head and saw Qin Ziyi looking at him with resentment on her face:

"Why didn't you help me just now?"

It seemed that she had calmed down a little, but she still hadn't let go of the fear she had just felt. Instead, she blamed it all on Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu frowned, looked at the woman in front of him, turned around and prepared to leave.

But Qin Ziyi refused to let him go. She spread her arms and blocked Gu Xiu's way. "Why don't you help me? Don't you know that we should help each other? Do you know that your silence just now almost killed me?"

"Then what?" Gu Xiu asked.

"Then you have to apologize to me!" Qin Ziyi said, "You must apologize to me for your cowardice just now!"

These words made Gu Xiu look Qin Ziyi up and down for a while.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm thinking about a question."

"what?"

"Are all members of your Qin family like this?"

"What did you say?"

Gu Xiu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and just walked away. This man had a mental problem and was too close to him. Gu Xiu was afraid that he would be infected.

But seeing him like this, Qin Ziyi became even more dissatisfied. She gritted her teeth and whispered:

"Do you think we can survive?"

Ok?

Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows and stopped.

But then Qin Ziyi said, "Don't you find that there's something wrong with these outsiders? They don't look like people like us at all. Most of the time, they don't look like humans at all!"

Gu Xiu turned around and glanced at her.

Qin Ziyi said again: "Everyone in Zhaoping Village is stupid. No one knows the secrets of these outsiders!"

"You know?" Gu Xiu asked.

"I know!" Qin Ziyi replied, "They are immortals, and we are livestock kept here. If you don't stay vigilant against them, we will all die at the hands of these outsiders in the end!"

"and then?"

"Then we need to save ourselves, we need to cooperate, find ways to save ourselves together, help each other, and escape from the clutches of these people!" Qin Ziyi said hurriedly.

She was afraid.

The Qin family has been around for so many generations, and they are actually not completely ignorant of these outsiders. This can be seen from the fact that the ancestors of the Qin family are able to practice martial arts. In fact, they have always had certain guesses about these outsiders.

According to the Qin family's rules, Qin Ziyi should actually stay away from these outsiders.

The farther the better.

But she couldn't help it.

Xiang Xuanxuan drank her talisman wine, which completely disrupted the plan given to her by her ancestor. Even though she was afraid of these people, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow them.

There was even a moment just now when she thought these outsiders were not dangerous at all. At least she was pretty and well-educated, and these outsiders had no ill will towards her.

But the scene just now made her completely sober.

Follow these people.

It's like trying to get the skin of a tiger!

She wanted to escape and stay away from these people, but she was alone and needed help and companions, so she once again thought of the silly boy Sui Yu'an.

At least.

At the critical moment, maybe he could sell Sui Yu'an out and save his own life.

These are Qin Ziyi's true thoughts at this moment. She feels that with her intelligence and talent, it would be very easy to play with a little fool.

It's just a pity...

"Not interested." Sui Yu'an did not agree to cooperate as he had imagined. Instead, he left after saying this.

Qin Ziyi was furious and said sternly, "Sui Yu'an, you idiot, you will kill yourself sooner or later if you keep doing this!"

Gu Xiu curled his lips and ignored the woman.

It is better to kill yourself than to be killed by some evil people.

The young lady from the Qin family in front of me.

It's not any simpler than those outsiders.

Qin Ziyi was immediately filled with indignation and was about to catch up to argue with him when the ground beneath her feet suddenly shook.

"Success!"

"The restriction has been broken!"

“Hahahaha, we succeeded!”

Accompanied by a burst of cheers, Qin Ziyi looked towards the place where the group of foreigners gathered. Sure enough, she saw bursts of mechanical sounds coming from where they were standing, followed by a wooden box covered with talismans.

Slowly rising from the ground.

appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the excitement on the faces of these outsiders, Qin Ziyi, who was originally worried, now relaxed a little.

They have already obtained what they need, which means that they don't need their own blood sacrifice.

This is a good thing.

only……

Just as she was thinking this, Qin Ziyi discovered that Sui Yu'an, who was originally planning to move closer, suddenly took a step back and then kept his distance.

He is...
