There's a tavern here

Chapter 53
After walking for about three or four minutes, I looked back and couldn't see clearly behind me. There was only a big hole drenched in sunlight hanging alone on the top of the hole, which was out of place with the surroundings.

At this time, Fang Bie snapped his fingers, and the Daomen spell used to detect evil and eliminate spirits and its flying trajectory emitted a dazzling golden light, illuminating all directions of this huge stone room.

Coincidentally, at the end of the road that Fang Bie and Liu Rushi walked, there was a huge stone tablet connecting the underground and the dome.

In other places, it's an endless road of bones.

So the two of them quickened their pace and ran directly to the stele. There were no patterns on it, only ancient characters densely packed like ants.

Liu Rushi said after seeing it:
"Is this the writing of the Shang Dynasty? I have seen one or two in the classics, but unfortunately there are still too few books about these, and I can't understand them at all. What a pity."

"Treasurer Fang, do you want me to rub down this inscription and take it back to study slowly?"

Fang Bie shook his head:

"Don't be so troublesome, I have some knowledge about these things, so I can see the general idea."

Having said that, Huahualu got out from the book seal on Fang Bie's wrist, and floated in front of the stone tablet with the tail light. The pages of the book were unfolded, and the words of the ten thousand zhang light gushed out from within, covering the words on the stone tablet. All the inscriptions were covered.

But in Liu Rushi's eyes, he couldn't see such a miracle, only Fang Bie looked at the stele seriously.

"It's true. After all, shopkeeper Fang is a swordsman without boundaries. His actions have no boundaries, and his knowledge has no boundaries. It's really enviable."

"If I can be like Shopkeeper Fang..."

Fang Bie interrupted Liu Rushi's soliloquy:

"Why does Mr. Liu think so? In the final analysis, I am just a wandering wild crane. I can't lead such a large academy to make progress with my own strength like Mr. Liu. Speaking of it, Mr. Liu makes me feel more admirable. "

After listening to Fang Bie's words, Liu Rushi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and didn't say anything more.

Soon the light from Huahua Lu dimmed, and the book was taken back, and the book itself slowly came to Fang Bie.

The page of the book was opened again, and it was filled with dense words, making people wonder where to start to read it at first glance, but still, these words were all translated by Huahualu.

Don't believe in this book very much. After all, all the things in the world from ancient times to the present are recorded in the book. This fact can be verified in the previous days.

Fang Bie watched quietly, then let out a long breath, which startled Liu Rushi.

"Treasurer Fang, what did you see?"

"The stele says that the purpose of this human sacrifice was to resurrect the Lord of the Merchant Court. A total of [-] barbarians, [-] war slaves, and [-] merchants were sacrificed. Among them, the heads of barbarians and war slaves were all beheaded and thrown into the corpses. cave, and the businessman died in the main tomb.”

"Then send craftsmen to tattoo the pattern to suppress the cursed things born after the tragic death, and at the same time leave the souls of these dead people here forever."

"Later, through divination by the fortune tellers in the merchant court, it was calculated that the owner of the merchant court would return to the world after a thousand years."

Speaking of this, Fang's other voice paused, and his brows were slightly frowned:
"Leading the merchant court to repeat the glory of the great merchant... The following records are the past achievements of the owner of the merchant court—Zong Yang and the introduction of the merchant court."

"Zong Yang had a premonition that his time was running out, so he served as the officiant to complete the sacrifice. After the event was completed, the whole person died in the coffin. The so-called Shang court is a person who assists the king of Shang. institution."

Liu Rushi nodded after listening, and then asked Xiang Fang:
"But according to what you said earlier, it was a painted skin demon that harmed the mountain city, and it could go back and forth between the murals. Why didn't you just use your body to hide in the downtown area to accumulate strength?"

"In fact, Zong Yang's soul wouldn't have been kept in this dark tomb for a thousand years, right?!"

After hearing this, Fang Bie was also shocked, after all, Fang Bie had never thought about this before:
"The soul that has been imprisoned in the tomb for a thousand years, even if it won't be washed away and become such a wronged soul, it will become a crazy lunatic."

"Perhaps this is the reason. Seeing that his real flesh has shrunk to such an inhuman shape, it may also be my sword that brought it back to life, but these are all speculations."

"I don't care what it does, I just want it to disappear completely."

Liu Rushi bent down and picked out a stone blade from the bones on the ground:
"what is this?"

After picking it up, he wiped off the dust accumulated on it with his sleeve, not caring that the white shirt was stained with dust.

After some wiping, a rusty bronze dagger appeared in Liu Rushi's hand, and he waved it casually in the air a few times, and the strong sword wind slashed forward, even scaring Fang Bie.

"Mr. Liu is also good at swords?"

Liu Rushi waved his hand, and looked at the bronze dagger in his hand with even more surprise:

"No, it's the knife's problem."

After finishing speaking, he handed the dagger in his hand to Fang Bie.

"Treasurer Fang, let's see what this thing is?"

Fang Bie reached out to take the bronze short knife, and with a wave of his hand, he felt a sword wind that was not from his own strength cut through the air in front of him, sending out bursts of sonic booms.

Then Fang Bie frowned, thinking about what it was.

At this time, the record of vanity appeared in Fang Bie's mind.

[This is the alchemist accompanying the sword in the Shang court. Generally, the alchemist pours his own strength into the sword. After a long period of time, he has accumulated a huge amount of energy, which can play a very strong role in fighting against the enemy. ]
"I see."

Afterwards, Fang Bie told Liu Rushi the record on Huahua Lu in detail.

"I see."

"But why did the accompanying knife of the people in the business court appear here, in the burial pits of barbarians and war slaves?"

After listening to Liu Rushi's question, Fang Bie looked around. After years of wear and tear, the clothes and any evidence that could prove the existence of these bones disappeared, and nothing could be seen at all.

Just when Fang Bie wanted to return this thing to Liu Rushi, he saw the traces on the stone tablet and the traces on the stone layer above his head, and he understood.

"This may be the person from the Shang family who carved the magic circle and stone tablet in this sacrificial pit back then. He should have been abandoned in the end and sealed in this dark cave full of bones."

"I see."

This time, I have gained a lot. At least I found the purpose of this sacrifice here, and I also wrote the background of this story, so that I will not kill Zong Yang in the end without knowing it. Write a full stop.

"Keep this knife for yourself. It is also an extra card for self-protection. I guess Mr. Wang should have gained something at this time. Let's go up and have a look." Fang Bie returned the knife to Liu Rushi and said nothing. Said.

Liu Rushi looked at the dagger in his hand, his long hair covered his slightly red face and replied in a low voice:

"Ah."
