Chapter 55 He broke the defense
It is not difficult to hear the shock in Yuchi Suihua's tone.

Before Xie Shiqing could respond, Yuchi Suihua raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "Xie Shiqing, is it fun to play with me?"

Yuchi Suihua's eyes almost burst into flames, and his expression was slightly ferocious because of his anger.

Xie Shiqing's cold reaction was in sharp contrast to Yuchi Suihua.

"You think I'm very idle?" Xie Shiqing asked, "Who has the time to play tricks on you?"

"Then why wasn't he the sacrifice?" Yuchi Suihua pointed at Hua Rongqi and asked, "Why wasn't you the sacrifice?"

Following Yuchi Suihua's words, the direction of his finger also changed from Hua Rongqi to Xie Shiqing.

Hua Rongqi: "...!!!"

What does your war involve me for?
Fortunately, Yuchi Suihua still had sense and did not point his finger at Su Ran.

【He's crazy! He started attacking indiscriminately! 】

"You should go to the bottom of the well and ask." Xie Shiqing said with a faint smile on his face, "Who asked you to enter the temple alone."

Hearing this, Yuchi Suihua calmed down a little, frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

He didn't understand the meaning of Xie Shiqing's words, but Su Ran and Hua Rongqi understood.

It turns out that "no one should enter the temple" is reflected here. Originally, they thought that entering the temple alone would be in danger.

Seeing that Xie Shiqing had no intention of giving Yuchi Suihua a detailed explanation, Su Ran asked him with her eyes, and then explained to Yuchi Suihua: "There should be something like a stone tablet at the bottom of the well, and the words on it show that he entered the temple alone. People are going to be used as sacrifices...?"

After Su Ran finished speaking, Xie Shiqing looked at him approvingly.

Yes, if you can understand what he means, you can teach him.

Yuchi Suihua was extremely unwilling to believe this result. After all, no one could accept being used as a sacrifice.

Yuchi Suihua: "The bottom of the well is so dark, how did you see the text?"

Yuchi Suihua believed that he had grasped the key to the problem.

Xie Shiqing: "I touched it with my hands."

Su Ran: "..."

Hua Rongqi: "..."

Yuchi Suihua: "..."

The three people across from them were all speechless, with the same complicated expressions, as if they felt powerless after being kicked on cotton.

Xie Shiqing: "There is indeed a stone tablet at the bottom of the well. The characters carved on it are the same as those in the temple. I got a rough idea based on the lines."

"Since it's a rough idea, it means there are still some inaccuracies." Yuchi Suihua was in a irritable mood, rubbing the knuckles of his thumb and index finger constantly in an attempt to relieve the anxiety in his heart, "Can this kind of thing be such a child's play?"

"Others may be inaccurate, but one thing I can be sure of." When Xie Shiqing said this, he paused for a moment, and when Yuchi Suihua glared at him fiercely, he continued: "People who enter the temple alone will Being used as a sacrifice.”

"You are the only one here who has ever been to the bottom of a well. What is at the bottom is not entirely up to you." Yuchi Suihua said this, but he gradually felt uneasy in his heart.

"Then go down and see for yourself." The person who said this was Hua Rongqi. He had tried his best to avoid contact with Yuchi Suihua from the beginning, and evolved into a complete gangster.

Yuchi Suihua sneered and said sarcastically: "If it is really ancient writing, what's the point of me going down and reading it? The content above is not all fabricated by Xie Shiqing."

Hua Rongqi was silent.

How do you say you are uneducated so confidently?
Thinking of the baby girl in the background story who was also forced to be sacrificed by the villagers, Hua Rongqi automatically assumed the role of the villagers and said, "Let's just go ahead and capture her. Today you must be the sacrifice."

Su Ran: "..."

【ah……? Is this how the plot works? 】

[I seem to know why there is no Hua Rongqi in the later plot of the original work. According to the way he handles things now, he might have been silenced by Yuchi Suihua as soon as he faced him. 】

"Hua Rongqi!" Yuchi Suihua shouted angrily, "You are seeking death!"

"I originally turned a blind eye to the things you did for Hua Niang's sake. Since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being rude."

Su Ran looked on dumbfounded and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.

[What a magical move. One second they were playing backgammon, and the next second they were facing each other with swords. 】

[Oh...they don't have knives or swords. 】

Su Ran quietly glanced at Xie Shiqing, who was bathed in the pale moonlight.

[The only person present with a weapon—Xie Shiqing! 】

[Uh...he can't pull out his sword yet. 】

Su Ran did not forget what Xie Shiqing said when she met the human-faced monster. It seemed that in this illusion, not only spiritual power could not be used, but the weapons were also equivalent to decorations.

"Okay, stop arguing." Xie Shiqing was upset by the noise and interrupted their argument, "There's nothing to argue about. Someone will come and take you down later."

"What?" Yuchi Suihua was stunned for a moment, then realized, "You mean someone will come and take me to the bottom of the well?"

Su Ran suddenly realized that it was because of this that Xie Shiqing was not anxious at all!

Fortunately, they entered the ruined temple together as three of them.

"People don't know." Xie Shiqing added lightly.

Hua Rongqi burst out laughing, her eyes full of gloating.

It would be best for Yuchi Suihua to die in this illusion, so as to save him from worrying about being found out by Yuchi Suihua that he was cheating on him by pretending to be a woman.

The four people present, except for Yuchi Suihua himself, the other three can be regarded as completely opposite to Yuchi Suihua, and they are fighting to the death.

So when Xie Shiqing told the result, Su Ran and Hua Rongqi's first reactions were: great.

But Su Ran is different from Hua Rongqi. She knows that Yuchi Suihua is the male protagonist in the original work.

Since the original work was written from the perspective of the heroine, Su Ran only knew that Yuchi Suihua had entered the illusion several times, but she had no idea what he experienced in the illusion.

But I knew with my feet that Yuchi Suihua would not die in the illusion.

I guess it's just a matter of getting hurt. The male protagonist can always turn danger into disaster and turn danger into safety.

Su Ran believed that she was not a Virgin. She had been bullied by others in the past, and she always wanted to take revenge on the spot. Therefore, she could not sympathize with Yuchi Suihua's upcoming encounter.

"Speak clearly." Yuchi Suihua could no longer maintain the image of a charming expression. The muscles in his cheeks twitched slightly, showing the owner's emotional instability.

Xie Shiqing was probably in a really good mood right now, and he didn't even care about Yuchi Suihua's attitude. He had the rare patience to repeat to him the content on the stone tablet at the bottom of the well.

As Xie Shiqing said, the bottom of the well is very dark.

As Xie Shiqing gradually descended to the bottom of the well, he discovered that the well was getting bigger as he went down.

When they reached the bottom, because the surroundings were so dark that they couldn't see their fingers, Xie Shiqin carefully measured with his hands along the surrounding area.

After walking about eight or nine steps, we made a circle.

While walking, Xie Shiqing discovered the stone tablet in the corner.

The stone tablet was sunk into the wall, and the environment was dark. If Xie Shiqing hadn't walked around the wall little by little, he probably wouldn't have found the stone tablet.

Fortunately, the thing here is a stone tablet, not an item like a swaddling clothes - the words engraved on the stone tablet can be felt by hand. The content on this stone tablet probably means that there is a temple at the foot of the mountain, and the next person who enters the temple alone will become a sacrifice.

If the sacrifice is not willing, the mountain god will be angered, and villagers will come out to force the sacrifice ceremony.

Xie Shiqing had a question when he "saw" this.

"There is a temple", according to this meaning, there is only one temple?

So was the temple they and Yuchi Suihua entered a product of time and space confusion, or was one of the temples fake?
But none of that matters now.

Xie Shiqing then looked down.

When the sacrificial ceremony is successfully performed, the door will be opened again.

Xie Shiqing touched a raised spot not far from the stone stele, thinking that this was the gate mentioned on the stele.

There is indeed a keyhole in the middle of the stone door. It seems that the key picked up by Yuchi Suihua will most likely open this door.

It's just that it's not clear whether the key and the sacrificial ceremony need to be completed at the same time to open the stone door, or whether only one of them will suffice.

After Xie Shiqing finished narrating these contents, Yuchi Suihua was the first to jump out: "Since it didn't say that two conditions must be met at the same time to open the door, why did you say that I would be a sacrifice?"

"No." Xie Shiqing retorted with an indifferent tone, "You misunderstood what I meant."

Under Yuchi Suihua's confused gaze, Xie Shiqing continued, "Yes: I'm not sure whether you want the key or not."

"But you." Xie Shiqing paused, "You must be the sacrifice."

Su Ran pursed her lips and tried her best to restrain the corners of her mouth from rising.

[Hold it, don’t laugh! 】

[If you laugh at this time, you will be hated by Yuchi Suihua for the rest of your life. 】

However, Su Ran held it back, but Hua Rongqi did not.

After the man let out a laugh, he simply stopped pretending and just said "hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" next to him, laughing so hard that he was out of breath.

Su Ran: "..."

Su Ranmei's heart skipped a beat, and she quietly moved a little distance to the side to put some distance between herself and Hua Rongqi.

However, Hua Rongqi's laughter was so contagious. Su Ran originally didn't want to laugh so much. Hua Rongqi's laughter kept ringing in her ears. Finally, Su Ran turned her head, covered her face with her hands, and started laughing too.

But her eyes were revealed from between her fingers, and they happened to meet Xie Shiqing's eyes as he looked over with a smile.

Su Ran: "...!"

[Oops, it’s a heart-pounding feeling! 】

[Fortunately, I am immune to the faces of my third brother and Hua Rongqi every day, otherwise I would be caught off guard and see Xie Shiqing like this. 】

Su Ran and Hua Rongqi didn't laugh for long before they were interrupted by rustling sounds around them.

The sound of names being shouted in their ears disappeared at some point, and the subtle sounds coming from the woods made them even more panicked.

"Get up the tree!" I don't know who shouted, and several people quickly ran to the four trees surrounding the well entrance. There was just one tree for each person, and they quickly ran up the trees.

Xie Shiqing originally planned to help Su Ran climb the tree first, after all, her ability to climb trees was obvious to all.

However, this time, as soon as his eyes touched Su Ran, he saw her climbing onto the branch like a monkey.

Xie Shiqing: "..."

Xie Shiqing was silent for a moment, then turned over and climbed to the tree next to Su Ran.

The sounds from the woods were getting louder and louder, as if countless people were rushing here.

Su Ran gradually felt uneasy in her heart.

[This movement... doesn't look like a monster with a human face. 】

[The villagers mentioned on the stone tablet? 】

When this idea flashed through Su Ran's mind, the other three people also thought of it.

Yuchi Suihua's face became increasingly embarrassed, but in this situation, he had no chance to question Xie Shiqing again.

In addition to the collision of leaves, the sound of human footsteps gradually became clearer, as well as the sound of curses mixed in.

"It's all because of these people who collided with the mountain god. They must die!"

"The unwillingness to sacrifice is disrespectful to the mountain god! Their fate should be the same as that of the baby girl's parents!"

"All those who disrespect the mountain god should use their own flesh and blood to support 'it'!"

……

Su Ran hugged the tree trunk tightly and wanted to say, "It's different! I don't have any objection to whatever you do with Yuchi Suihua!".

Until a few figures rushed out of the woods, and a group of villagers holding knives and farm tools appeared in everyone's sight.

They gathered around with murderous intent on their faces. The leader raised the butcher's knife in his hand, turned his head stiffly in a circle, and scanned the four people on the tree one by one with his eyes, asking: "Who is the sacrifice? "

Hua Rongqi held the tree trunk with one hand and pointed at Yuchi Suihua without hesitation: "He!"

His voice was so loud that even the villager who asked the question was startled, and his already stiff neck tilted back slightly.

"Is that you?" The villager holding the butcher's knife stepped forward and stared at Yuchi Suihua with a sinister look.

Of course Yuchi Suihua didn't admit it, and denied: "It's not me."

Who has any evidence to prove that he was the sacrifice?

Why did he enter the temple alone? Who saw him entering the temple?
Yuchi Suihua made up his mind not to admit it.

This trend was different from what the villagers had encountered, and the villagers gradually became restless.

Su Ran had no doubt that if this continued, these people would treat them the same way they treated the parents of the baby girl.

One of the villagers holding a hoe in his hand said harshly: "Whether you say it or not, the real sacrifice must be among the four of you. As long as you sacrifice all four of you to the mountain god, you can eliminate the mountain god's anger!"

"Who said the mountain god was angry? Did the mountain god tell you?" Su Ran's eyes fell on the hoe in the villager's hand, and then quickly moved away.

[Damn it, why does this hoe seem to be stained with blood? ! 】

Su Ran was heartbroken. Although she loved reading all kinds of unlimited stories and watching horror movies, she was really afraid of these bloody scenes!

"This..." The villager holding the hoe hesitated for a moment, as if he had been asked, and then asked the leading villager, "What did the mountain god say?"

In their long and blurry memories, it seems that heavy rains and flash floods are signs of the mountain god's anger.

Seeing that this sentence was useful, Su Ran kept saying: "You are trying to guess the mountain god's mind. This kind of behavior will anger the mountain god!"

"Village chief...?" The villager holding the hoe was really confused.

He was mentally ill during his lifetime and was easily walked around by others.
