Meet the moon again

"He really thinks that his life is not long enough." Qi Lin continued, looking through Zhong Qing's arm to look around.

At a rough glance, the pit was only half the size of the one they saw in City C. At the bottom of the pit were neatly arranged corpses, all dressed in almost the same style, and even their body shapes were not much different. The state of life is peaceful, but there is also a strangeness.

Sayuri poked her head out for a look, and immediately retracted and rubbed her arm, feeling goosebumps all over the floor, she asked sadly, "Isn't this intentionally placed like this..."

"Maybe." Qi Lin said.Ordinary stacking really can't reach this level, and I don't know what kind of leisure the caster puts them one by one in this way.

"Recently, this life-continuing formation really has a sense of existence." Sayuri said, turning to look at Qi Lin, "If it is true as you said, senior, that the three formations are all the same person, then he has to live How long has it been...do you still think it's not enough?"

If this array was the beginning, and the caster lived to be more than 800 years old at least, then what is the purpose of his painstaking targeting of Qi Lin for more than a month?It can't be about living too long and wanting to have some fun.

What's more, this village always gave Qi Lin a very subtle feeling. He was faintly aware that there might have been a certain relationship between himself and Shang Lu and Shang Yao, so how much did he have to do with the performer behind it?

Why does the performer create such an illusion, what does he want them to see and hear here?Why did he bring them here and expose this deep pit to everyone?

"The longer people live, the more they fear death." Zhong Qing said coolly.His gaze was still the same as before, and he stayed fixedly on the high platform, "It's like the emperors in ancient times seeking longevity, because they were reluctant, because they were afraid, and wanted to keep the eternal life in their own hands and not allow others Meteor. This person... must be pretty much the same."

"Cultivators are often more afraid of death when they reach the end of the door. Because they will think, they have lived for hundreds of years, why can't they live longer? Some, then It’s because I think life and death is a very shameless thing, I’m afraid that under the loess, people will have to be picked out and ridiculed by future generations. It’s really ugly.” Qi Lin took Zhong Qing’s words and continued to explain to Xiao Baihe.

"For 800 years, tens of thousands of people have been sacrificed. The price of longevity is too cruel." Sayuri frowned and said disgustedly.

Qi Lin let out a mocking laugh from his throat, but didn't answer anything.

Zhong Qing reached out and patted her on the shoulder, but did not speak.

"You said that if they are really the same person, what exactly is he trying to do by staring at me like this? Did he stew me as his stepping stone?" Qi Lin's tone was flat, without the slightest ups and downs, but Sayuri listened to it. There was a little chill.

If it hadn't been covered by the layer of fluff on her face, she would have expected that Qi Lin's expression would be cold and serious, with his lips tightly pursed.

"You said that I have been wandering for 200 years, and I didn't see him come to trouble me back then. Why did he..." Qi Lin stopped talking suddenly, as if he remembered something, he was stiff turned his head.

He looked at Zhong Qing's chin, and asked hesitantly, "Is there something else you are hiding from me?"

The siege of those monks back then was really just to get rid of demons?Since he abducted Zhong Qing and went back, he either made jokes on Wanren Mountain, or traveled around with him, and his behavior has restrained a bit.They didn't come to get rid of him in the early days, but they waited until he changed his sex before doing it?It's been so many years since we've lived together peacefully...

"No." Zhong Qing replied.

Qi Lin wondered: "Really?"

"Not really."

Qi Lin looked at his face suspiciously, and saw that the other person's expression was frank, showing no signs of deceit, so he looked away, and said, "I can barely believe you."

"I think both of you are busy with me and kicked me out of the group chat." Sayuri said salty.

Qi Lin said with a smile: "Your boss and I have some secrets, children, don't get involved."

"So shameless!"

The serious and embarrassing atmosphere was immediately driven away by such a commotion, and the expressions of the three of them became somewhat relaxed.

Zhong Qing carried Qi Lin in her arms and jumped onto the stone platform lightly, landing smoothly.

The ground of the stone platform was engraved with a complex pattern that they had never seen before, perhaps a lost formation pattern.Zhong Qing glanced at it for a few seconds, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and took pictures of all the patterns on it.

In the phantom array, although contemporary smart tools have no signal, some basic functions can still be used.

Seeing his movements, Qi Lin quickly stretched out his claws to grab his arm to prevent himself from falling.After Zhong Qing took pictures of the whole pattern piece by piece, he put the mobile phone with little battery left in his pocket, and used his free hand to support Qi Lin's leg.

"I always feel like he is saying 'I am a werewolf, I am a werewolf'. What is he planning?" Sayuri squatted down on the edge of the pit, and the broken blade in her hand dug the crumbling soil on the edge intentionally or unintentionally. .

"The villain's mind is really hard to guess." She didn't expect Qi Linhe Zhongqing to respond to her, so she continued on her own.

The wind in the mountains whizzed through the forest, and when it came to the side of the deep pit, it made a "woo-woo" sound, as if crying.The surrounding dust was blown up by it, and Sayuri raised her hand to pin the thin hair around her face behind her ears, and she was blinded by the dust in the next second.

She cursed in a low voice, turned around and rubbed her eyes with her hands.

"Be careful!" She heard Zhong Qing's voice, and subconsciously took a step back.

In the blur, it seemed that something flashed past her eyes.

It seemed to be a strand of black silk thread, which was extremely fast and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Zhong Qing jumped to her side from the stone platform, the dust just now also dazzled his eyes, making his eyes a little moist red.He grabbed Sayuri's moving hand, and a little white light appeared on the fingertips, which flashed quickly in front of her eyes.

"Open your eyes," he said.

Sayuri opened her eyes when she heard this, blinked twice, and said, "It's ok."

"Let's go." Zhong Qing said, turning his hand around, and set up the saber.

Sayuri knew what he meant, jumped up after him, and stood firm.

It wasn't the first time she hitched a ride on love, but it was the only time she felt embarrassed.

Zhong Qing's sword is extremely stable, just like when he drew the sword.If it weren't for the profound spiritual power, it would be impossible to control the sword so smoothly.There are three thousand disciples of the Sword Sect, and some of them don't know how far they will be swaying just by controlling the sword alone, let alone bring another one.

They were biting the tail of the black line tightly in the rear, but they couldn't catch up no matter what.

That black line was like a slippery fish, passing through the gaps among the intertwined branches, and fled straight to the depths of the woods.

Sayuri took out a crossbow from the storage bag, put it in her hand, and aimed at the black line.

The short arrow flew straight out with a "swipe--", but it barely passed the edge of the black line and penetrated deeply into the nearby tree trunk.

Sayuri was in a hurry, she set up her bow and was about to come again, but she heard Qi Lin lazily say: "It should be divine consciousness or something else, the bow and arrow don't work."

"Then I..."

"Your cultivation base is still shallow, and your spiritual consciousness is unstable." Zhong Qing knew what she wanted to say, and immediately blocked her back.

"Let's see where he wants to take us first, there's no rush." ​​Qi Lin said, and yawned in Zhong Qing's arms by the way.

The black line led them all the way north, surrounded by slanted branches, almost able to cut through their clothes when using a sword.Xiao Baihe had no choice but to take the initiative to clean up, and broke off the protruding branches in front of her first. This journey was tiring and tiresome.

After leaving the dense forest with lush trees, the surrounding wind began to be replaced by sparse human voices.They also faintly heard the sound of a few snare drums and bells.

Zhong Qing withdrew his sword, watched the black line go straight down the cliff, broke into the crowd below, and disappeared.

"This is..." Sayuri stepped forward, looking down at the huge wooden platform below, with surprise in her eyes, "Why did it bring us to the altar?"

The high platform is paved with dark red silk cloth, with a totem painted on it, which may be the symbol of the village.There are two bronze bells and drums on the side of the platform, and an incense table and a pile of dead wood and hay are placed in the middle.

The villagers knelt down several rows under the stage, murmuring something.They were all kneeling and looking at the high platform in the center with awe.

The priest, as everyone called it, was standing in front of the incense table, holding a lit fire and burning incense at a leisurely pace.The white mist curled up into the air from in front of him, twisted in the air and then circled upwards.

Zhong Qing looked around, and finally found Lin Chulan and Lin Chulan in a remote place.

He greeted Xiao Baihe, stepped on the rocks all the way down to the flat ground, and swayed to Lin Chulan from behind.

Seeing him appearing suddenly, the latter was frightened for a moment, then reacted and shouted anxiously: "Why did you come here!"

"I'm sorry for the delay on the way." Zhong Qing responded indifferently.

"Okay, now there is one..."

Said Sayuri: "Let me tell you the good news first."

Lin Chulan: "..."

"There is no good news, it's all bad." Yu Ci continued, "Didn't we talk about the sacrifice last night? We just learned about the sacrifice from those people."

He pointed at the mature men under the high platform, avoiding Sayuri's gaze.

"What is it?" Sayuri asked.

Yu Ci glanced at Lin Chulan, who coughed twice and said slowly, "It's Shang Yao."

"What?"

Lin Chulan repeated again: "It's Shang Yao, and they want to sacrifice the living to the Lord of the Mountain."
