She only wants to do infrastructure construction

Li Yewu didn't know that someone Xiao regarded her as a down-and-out ghost, and was currently studying how to broaden her horizons.

Xiao Jiuxi withdrew his mind silently, and then raised his head to look around, and could vaguely see the position of the torch stand: "How about lighting all the torches, what do you think?"

"It's so big?" Li Yewu raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't it hard to see clearly? Light the torch and you will be able to..."

"Giggle..."

Xiao Jiuxi was still talking, when suddenly a sinister giggle came from his ear again.

Different from the feeling of being far away in the sky last time, this time it was so close that it almost reminded him right next to his ear.

Xiao Jiuxi threw the torch reflexively, and in the bright light of the fire, a gecko as thick as two fingers was thrown to the ground.

With its belly shy, it "clacked" a few times weakly and then became silent.

"!"

This change happened so fast, Li Yewu was stunned.

It took a long time to reflect, it turns out... so the weird laughter that scared them half to death just now was actually made by this gecko?

"This... this gecko is too big." Li Yewu couldn't help rubbing the goosebumps on her body and said: "Fuck, I was scared to death by it just now, so it's not the ghost king, it's a gecko!"

Looking at the gecko, Xiao Jiuxi felt at ease, and began to be complacent about his brilliance and prowess.

"I just said that there are so many ghosts and snakes in this world, just to scare myself."

"Aren't you scared?" Li Yewu rolled her eyes to the sky.

"I'm really okay, not like someone jumped into my stalwart arms and shivered in embarrassment."

Just when Xiao Jiuxi was complacent, there was another sound from the depth of the pool, which is the direction they came from.

Xiao Jiuxi immediately stopped the gag, squinted his eyes and carefully identified it.

Soon, he put the torch into the pool to extinguish it, and then jumped directly onto the relief on the rock wall with Li Yewu's slender waist.

Not long after, the torches on the wall lit up one after another.

Only then did Li Yewu discover that the torches of the ancients can still be lit, as long as one is lit, the others will gradually be lit.

This semi-automatic device is nothing short of magical.

After marveling, she also became vigilant, and these torches would definitely not light up for no reason.

Just as Li Yewu's brain was spinning rapidly, Xiao Jiuxi explained, "Someone is here, don't make a sound."

anyone?

Li Yewu was taken aback, isn't this a taboo place that no one cares about?How could anyone?
Could it be that Erge and the others came here?

Not right either.

Erge and the others definitely wouldn't know where the fire was lit.

Li Yewu poked his head out secretly, and looked down by the light of the fire.

The brightly lit water pool and the dark water pool present two completely different appearances.

Just now they seemed to be walking on the edge of an ancient tomb, with no knowledge of life and death ahead.

But now, with lights on, the mysterious and gloomy pool has become ordinary.

I saw that the pool was very huge, and it became smaller as it went forward, like a gourd.

The three places with copper pillars are very even and symmetrical in the left, middle and right positions of the gourd belly.

They thought there would be an altar or something in the middle of the pool, but only after the lights turned on did they realize that the entire lake was empty and there was nothing.

Just as the two secretly looked around, someone finally appeared slowly.

Li Yewu took a closer look, never expecting that it was him who came!
I saw about 20 people coming from below. These people were dressed in black and had many strange totems painted on their faces.

But even with this appearance, Li Yewu still recognized that one of the leaders was the head of the Xu family, one of the four major families.

The head of the Xu family is mainly engaged in the grocery business. He is relatively low-key among the four major families, and he himself is relatively taciturn.

Apart from a few Patriarch meetings, the only meeting between Patriarch Xu and Li Yewu was when she was looking for bottles, and Patriarch Xu accompanied Zi Cui to deliver them overnight.

Speaking of which, she felt a little strange at that time. Although she was a "princess", she just wanted a few bottles and cans, and it didn't mean that she had bought out the grocery store. There was no need for Master Xu to deliver them in person, right?

But looking at it now, I'm afraid that the head of Xu's family at that time had no intention of drinking, and wanted to come over to find out the news.

It is said that each of the four major families has its own forces behind it. Li Yewu still thought about slowly rectifying these monopoly industries when the town was developed. He never thought that there would be something to catch so soon. Of course, Li Yewu would not let go of this opportunity. Pass.

She secretly peeped interestingly. Fortunately, the corner Xiao Jiuxi chose to hide was a blind spot where the fire could not be illuminated. As long as she was not paying special attention, she would not be able to tell that there was anyone here at all.

At least at this time, Patriarch Xu never expected that there would be someone in the restricted area, and he was hiding on the candle dragon.

They came to the altar familiarly, first chanted a bunch of spells into the center of the pool, and then six of them walked to the six copper pillars.

They took out a small stone lion from their sleeves, put it on the copper pillar, and then the six of them turned the lion's head clockwise at the same time, and the copper pillar obediently rotated like a small screw caught in a wrench.

With the rotation of "click, click, click", the calm pool water began to vibrate, and after a while, there was a muffled "rumbling", and the stone platform hidden in the center of the lake slowly emerged.

It rose higher and higher like mushrooms, and when it fully surfaced, three suspension bridges also appeared.

It happens to be in contact with these three copper pillars.

Li Yewu was shocked. It turned out that the pillar was really a bridge, and the bridge was hidden at the bottom of the water. When the mechanism was turned on, the altar at the bottom of the lake rose up, and the bridge naturally appeared.

This altar is a square of about ten square meters, and there is a circle of round totems on the square, forming a feng shui pattern with this square altar.

Li Yewu squinted her eyes for a while, and the circle seemed to be words.

She was going to take a closer look, Xiao Jiuxi silently reached out and pushed her head back, and glanced at her silently, implying: Do you want to expose?
Li Yewu realized that she was in a mess when she was concerned, so she almost leaned out with half her body.

With Xiao Jiuxi's reminder, Li Yewu restrained a lot and consciously shrank back.

Just like that, the two quietly watched Master Xu and the two old men walk up the platform along the bridge.

After they stood still, Patriarch Xu walked to the text totems first, took two steps forward and backed up three steps, and those who didn't know thought he was dancing a big god.

Li Yewu couldn't help thinking, what kind of cult organization did Patriarch Xu join?
However, her doubts are destined to be unanswered.

After an unknown amount of time, Patriarch Xu stopped walking while wiping his sweat. When he stopped, the altar changed again, and a stone table slowly rose up in the middle of the altar.

There are also some small stone carvings on the stone table. Those stone carvings are scattered all over the place. I don't know if they are formations or what.
