Chapter 556 False
In the early morning light, the village was already very lively.

Except for the disciples who were guarding the stronghold, the rest of the disciples had to go to the altar to participate in the altar ceremony.

Therefore, they are all preparing at this time, busy and lively.

Because the disciples from the sub-helm of Lingcheng returned to the main altar in the past two days, the people on both sides didn't think it was strange to see some disciples who were unfamiliar. cover.

Among the people who moved things, there were a few people who looked very familiar, and they were Xia Yanfeng and the others.

Separated by a group of disciples, they passed by, their eyes met in mid-air, and they were separated as soon as they were touched, and they all nodded slightly imperceptibly.

Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi would not stay with them, but went to ambush near the altar from the path that Lan Su'er had mentioned, as agreed earlier in the morning.

Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi had explored that path yesterday, but there was nothing unusual about it.

Therefore, they walked through the dense forest with ease, and crouched down when they arrived at the hiding place they surveyed yesterday.

This place was chosen yesterday.Covered by a boulder, it is half hidden in the dense forest, surrounded by dense bushes, which is very convenient for hiding.And through the gaps between the branches, you can see the holy lake not far ahead. The so-called holy lake is just a half-acre square pond. Under the sparkling waves.

There are only two shots away from here, and with Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi's skills, it only takes a few blinks of an eye to fly there.Therefore, it is perfect to ambush here.

The Sala Sect is very particular, and specially calculated the auspicious time before opening the altar.It was the second quarter of the hour.

When the two of them crouched down, Ye Xinyi looked up at the sky, and guessed it was about the same.

There was a sound of birds chirping in the dense forest to the west, and a few nocturnal birds fluttered their wings and flew up from among the trees. Ye Xinyi turned his head and looked at that place, while Shen Yue half held his little finger in his mouth. Between his lips, he blew a whistle.

"Shen Zhong and the others are in place." Shen Yue said in a deep voice.

Ye Xinyi nodded, and the two stopped talking and fell down quietly.The surrounding area was so quiet that only the sound of the wind, the slight rustling of the grass blades, and the faint chirping of insects and birds could be heard.

Suddenly, the eyes of both of them darkened, "Here we come."

Shen Yue said in a low voice, and the eyes of the two turned to the direction from the holy lake to the village.

The sound of sheng and drums came from the direction of the altar not far away, and the music was naturally different from that of the Central Plains.Accompanied by the music, a group of people walked over slowly.

Both Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi have excellent eyesight, and when they got closer, they could see everyone clearly.

The one who took the lead was naturally Lan Ruohua.

The others who followed were only a dozen or so people, and there were several familiar faces among them. Sure enough, not everyone was qualified to come to the altar.

An incense table had already been set up beside the altar, on which three offerings of fragrant fruits were enshrined.Lan Ruohua took the lead and stopped. Ye Xinyi and Shen Yue looked at her for a moment, seeing that she carefully took out a wooden box from her waist, and offered the incense table with both hands.

Ye Xinyi knew that it must be the Gu King, and at that moment, the Qinghong sword in his hand was lifted tightly, and he was about to fly out.

For her, nothing is more important than the wooden box containing the Gu King.

But before she could move, the hand holding the sword was suppressed by Shen Yue. She turned her head, and as far as she could see, it was Shen Yue who shook her head gently but resolutely at her, her lips moved silently, and said to her, "Wait a little longer!" , the overall situation is the most important."

Ye Xinyi frowned, but still gritted his teeth, listened to him, and endured it for the time being.

On the other side, Lan Ruohua had already taken the lead to light three sticks of incense, and bowed three times in the direction of the holy lake where the incense table was placed. Who knows, just as the incense was inserted into the incense burner, when a gust of wind came, two sticks of incense suddenly went out .

"Wait!" The Great Elder said in a deep voice with an ugly face, and the faces of the others were also a little ugly.

You know, when the incense was on, the incense went out, which was an ominous sign.

Lan Ruohua stood in front of the incense table with her hands tied, also frowning.

The Great Elder had already caught up with him in two or three steps. He poked his head to look at the incense, frowned and asked in doubt, "What's going on? It's so good. Why did the incense go out?"

"Great Elder, this has never happened before. I'm afraid we did something disrespectful, which caused the ancestor's holy spirit to appear, and blame us for it?" the hall master behind said worriedly.

Not someone Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi knew well, but hearing the voice, it should be someone from the Great Elder of the main altar.

The Great Elder was in a dilemma for a moment, "How could this be? We came here according to the rules, and the leader did fast for three days, and this Gu King was also enshrined." Speaking of this, the Great Elder seemed to have doubts, and his eyes turned from face to face. Lan Ruohua, who was as sinking as water, swept across his face, then thought of something, and turned to look at the wooden box enshrined on the incense table.

At this look, her complexion suddenly changed, and she didn't care about other things, she reached out and grabbed the wooden box.

"Great Elder!" Lan Ling'er shouted to stop.

"What is the great elder doing?" Lan Ruohua's face became even more ugly, and Shen Sheng scolded.

The great elder turned a deaf ear, and looked into the wooden box with his head. After a while, he suddenly raised his head, staring at Lan Ruohua with sharp eyes like arrows, and said, "Master! Shouldn't you explain it to your subordinates?" , why is this Gu king fake? The real Gu king, where did he go?" While speaking, he handed the wooden box to Lan Ruohua for her to have a look.

What?Is Gu King fake?
Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi looked at each other in a daze, they were not expecting this change.

The other Sala Sect members present were also taken aback for a moment, then they looked at each other and whispered quietly.

"What? Gu King is fake? How is this possible?"

"Why is it impossible? That's no wonder. The incense suddenly went out just now. It turned out to be the reason. If you use a fake Gu King to enshrine, the ancestor Holy Spirit will naturally be angry."

"Master?" Lan Ling'er and Lan Su'er's sisters both changed their expressions slightly, and turned to look at Lan Ruohua.

Lan Ruohua still had a frosty look, his eyes fell on the elder's face thoughtfully, he didn't feel anxious at all, but asked indifferently, "The elder has good eyesight, unexpectedly he went straight to this Gu king when he came here. Come here. Last night, I carefully inspected the Gu King, and there was nothing unusual about it. Why did it turn out to be a fake when it was taken out today?"

"This Gu king has never left my body. Now that I think about it, I was the only one who left me for a short time when I was taking a bath last night. At that time, there was only one disciple who waited on the bath in the room. Now that I think about it, the disciple seems to be It's a bit strange. Ling'er, go! Arrest the disciple who waited on me to take a bath last night, and I want to question him."

"Yes." Lan Ling'er's eyes flickered, but she answered and turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, the other hall masters stepped aside one after another and blocked her.

"What is the leader doing? Before the matter is clarified, we all should not move around. This Gu King has been kept by the leader. Now that something happened, the leader really cannot escape the suspicion."
