Chapter 143: Offerings hung on the top, ancestors buried below
"Are we sure we are on the right path?" The old emperor looked at the scenery in front of him, and his expression was full of astonishment.
"Theoretically, we are on the right path." Lu Xingshi felt that it was very likely that some opportunity had come to him, otherwise he would not have walked here.
In front of him seemed to be a sacrificial site, with an altar made of a lot of stones and several large pillars.
There were three to five charred corpses hanging on each pillar. According to Lu Xingshi's analysis, the time of death of these charred corpses was not the same.
"Then let's go quickly, otherwise if we meet the murderer... it doesn't seem to be a big deal." The old emperor was also scared at first, and then he remembered one thing, but Lu Xingshi was standing next to him.
A powerful person who could defeat a country alone, with just this small scene in front of him, did not pose much threat at all.
"It's really not a big deal, but it may not be easy to explain, so let's leave the scene quickly."
"What if this is some special custom of the locals or the burial method of the locals? We should respect them..."
When Lu Xingshi said this, he saw a familiar figure dragging several corpses towards the altar with some effort.
"I think this may have nothing to do with the locals. It is most likely a sacrifice of the Holy Fire Religion." The old emperor said.
The one dragging the corpse was the Holy Lady of the Holy Fire Religion, and the other party also saw Lu Xingshi and the old emperor.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Well, we are just passing by and don't plan to participate in your barbecue feast." Lu Xingshi felt that he had to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, so he said this.
"Die!"
The Holy Lady of the Holy Fire Religion approached at a very fast speed, and the two short swords in her hands went straight to Lu Xingshi's eyes.
It can be said that the previous meeting was a coincidence, but it was also met here. How could it be a coincidence? There must be a conspiracy.
"Fuck you!" Lu Xingshi raised his leg and kicked the other person back.
"This kick is too vulgar, at least use your pride." The old emperor reminded.
"Why is it vulgar? I call it plain and simple. She can be proud. She is strong because she didn't die under my kick." Lu Xingshi said proudly.
"If you have the ability, don't hold back. Use all your strength." The old emperor could see that Lu Xingshi did not kill the other person, otherwise it would not be that the saint was kicked away, but turned into a pool of meat on the spot.
The saint climbed up with some difficulty. The pain in her abdomen was so hot that she dared not continue to attack Lu Xingshi.
"Who are you?" The other party asked with a hoarse voice.
"A passerby, everyone said that they had strayed in and left immediately, but you had to attack." Lu Xingshi looked at the other party. This time, he looked carefully and found some inconsistencies, such as the human skin mask.
Before, he was busy picking herbs and didn't pay attention to the problem of the face.
Secondly, there are traces of burns on some parts of the body.
So Lu Xingshi has reason to suspect that the face of this saint may not be as beautiful as it appears, but a face that has been burned beyond recognition.
Don't ask him why he guessed so, he thinks that the dog-blood routine should be like this.
"But then again, is the Holy Fire Cult so miserable now? Not only did the dignified saint come out as bait in person, but she also had to carry the corpse as a sacrifice herself." Lu Xingshi was amazed.
"The Holy Fire Cult was destroyed fifty years ago."
"The Holy Fire Cult does not exist now."
"That group of former Yan remnants are just coveting my ancestral inheritance." The saint said calmly.
"Then you..." Lu Xingshi pointed to the corpse hanging on the altar pillar and asked.
"It's all this group of blind former Yan remnants." The saint's tone was murderous.
"If you have nothing else to do, please leave. I have something else to do."
Because of the kick from Lu Xingshi, the Saint also discovered the gap between the two sides, so she did not dare to say that she would leave her life here.
"Not so good, I just kicked you, my foot hurts a little now, pay me!" Lu Xingshi asked for compensation directly.
His thinking logic is very simple. The other party started first, so it is reasonable for him to pay compensation. As for the fact that the other party was kicked by him and almost didn't recover, it was his self-defense counterattack.
"What do you want? I don't have money." The Saint scratched her face, which seemed to be a little itchy.
It should be because of the misalignment of the human skin mask.
"I don't want money, I just want your ancestral inheritance." Lu Xingshi asked for it directly.
The old emperor looked like it was just as expected. In his opinion, Lu Xingshi was a little bit not like a normal person.
People have fought to the death with the remnants of the former Yan because of the ancestral inheritance, but you still want it, and you have to force people to fight with you.
"Impossible!" The other party refused as expected.
"Why not? Let's say you will take it to your coffin if you keep it. Why not give it to me? I can make it flourish for you." Lu Xingshi said kindly.
However, the other party was not willing to give in.
"I think she may have some tricks up her sleeve. Be careful..." The old emperor didn't finish his words before he saw that the woman actually triggered a mechanism. An entrance opened on the altar not far from the other party, and the whole person slipped in.
Then the entrance closed, and everything went very smoothly.
"Your Majesty, have you ever considered debuting as a jinx or a disaster star? This crow's mouth is so sharp." Seeing this, Lu Xingshi also complained.
This incident was indeed beyond his expectation.
How could Lu Xingshi have thought that this simple altar actually had a mechanism.
"I don't think it's necessarily a disaster. There may be a treasure house of the Holy Fire Church hidden under the altar. We can also plunder it if we go in." The old emperor was trying to make up for himself.
"With her poverty, the Holy Fire Church's treasure house, who would put a treasure house in this wilderness? Would you put it there?" Lu Xingshi asked back.
"I won't put it there." The old emperor shook his head, and only a lunatic would do this: "But if it's the Holy Fire Church, it's a normal thing, because none of their believers are normal."
"They worship fire, and they are all like crazy people. The most common way to kill people is arson."
"Not only setting fire to others, but also setting fire to themselves, and regard it as the highest honor."
"Everyone has a problem with their brains."
The old emperor muttered a lot, and he seemed to have a great prejudice against the Holy Fire Church.
"What? Have you been burned by them?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.
"That's not the case." The old emperor denied it, but added: "I have seen an uncle of mine. He went to destroy the Holy Fire Sect. He was fine when he went, but he was burnt into a big lump when he came back."
"A big lump?" Lu Xingshi always felt that this description was not normal.
"Well, three members of the Holy Fire Sect hugged him together, and they were burned for too long and stuck together." The old emperor shuddered when he recalled this incident.
"It was because of this incident that the Holy Fire Sect was destroyed." Lu Xingshi took over the conversation.
"I'm not sure. Because of this incident, I was sick for a long time, and no one mentioned it later."
"But it is indeed possible that it was destroyed. Killing a vassal king, and using this method to kill him, is too bad." The old emperor was not very sure. This happened fifty years ago, and he didn't remember it very clearly.
"Then let's go. The other party has three burrows, so there must be other exits." The old emperor didn't want to stay here.
Lu Xingshi shook his head: "I know a little bit about mechanisms, maybe I can open it."
"You know about mechanisms, how can you..."
The old emperor saw Lu Xingshi find the mechanism with a click and directly opened the entrance.
This scene made him dumbfounded.
"How did you...how did you find it?" the old emperor asked.
"I found it just like that, but this mechanism is still of high standard. It is locked from the inside. If I didn't happen to know a little bit, I really couldn't open it." Lu Xingshi responded.
"According to my judgment, this is probably not a treasure house, but someone's ancestral tomb." Lu Xingshi added.
This time the old emperor didn't ask how you knew, because he could smell the stench coming towards him.
"Hang the sacrifices on the top and bury the ancestors below." The old emperor didn't know how to comment for a while.
"It's quite reasonable. With this kind of sacrifice, the ancestors below can not only eat fresh food, but also eat hot food." Lu Xingshi said, and entered the cave under the altar.
The old emperor gritted his teeth and followed.
The internal structure was not artificially excavated, but a naturally formed underground cavity.
A large number of skeletons were embedded in the wall, most of which had traces of burning.
The old emperor's scalp was numb when he saw this scene. It was the first time he had seen such a scene, which was much more horrifying than the charred corpses hanging on the pillars outside.
"I didn't expect you to chase us down." The hoarse female voice came again.
"In that case, stay here and become a thing of the past with the Holy Fire Cult."
Then there was a loud click, and the Dragon-Breaking Stone fell down, and it was permanently closed and could not be opened again.
"What... you are also in there." Lu Xingshi kindly reminded him.
And the other party's words were actually a bit empty for Lu Xingshi. He could repair it, and even if he couldn't repair it, he could use brute force to get out. There was no scene where he was trapped in it and couldn't leave.
"Me? It doesn't matter." The saint came out. The other party was no longer wearing a human skin mask at this time. As Lu Xingshi thought, the other party's face had clear traces of burns.
It is indeed not easy to survive such a large-scale burn.
The ghost-like appearance also frightened the old emperor, and he hid behind Lu Xingshi.
"Okay, then you don't mind if we take a walk here." Lu Xingshi thought that since he was here, he couldn't just go back.
The saint sneered and didn't say anything. She thought Lu Xingshi was unwilling and wanted to find a way to leave.
But Lu Xingshi really wanted to take a walk.
