It seems that the location of the sacrifice is not in the town, but on a distant hill.

When Su Mo adjusted his position with Apparatus, he had carefully checked the surroundings of each paper figurine.

There is nothing else but finding those evil spirits.

Su Mo pondered for a while, and finally chose to rush towards the hill. Along the way, he also paid attention to the paper figurines falling at intervals.

Although he came out, his original idea was to follow the three dead guys and see what happened to them.

Looking at it now...if they didn't have the means to protect themselves, they might be almost dead.

What's more, the original purpose was to explore the hidden secrets of this town, and the sacrifice was obviously related to the origin of all secrets.

So Su Mo naturally made a choice not to care about those three people.

The location of the hill was not too far from the town, so when Su Mo was about to arrive, only seven or eight paper figurines were scattered along the way, which had no effect on his strength.

Of course, these paper figurines are not the limit distance of 5000 meters. After all, the distance of tens of kilometers, plus the old people and children inside, it will probably be dawn when they finish walking.

This was done by Su Mo at an appropriate distance after deliberation.

There is a big altar on the hill, and all the townspeople are wearing red robes and standing around the altar.

On the other hand, Dean Xu stood in the center of everyone, raised his hands, and seemed to be saying something loudly.

Su Mo quietly hid himself on the treetops, then opened his yin and yang eyes, and at the same time circulated the true qi into his ears.

To ensure that I can intercept all the scenes and all the sounds.

.........

Duan Xilong didn't know how long he had been running.

He only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and it became more and more difficult to move.

Sweat had already soaked through the clothes on his body, and his physical strength was about to reach its limit.

But when he thought of the horror behind him, Duan Xilong gritted his teeth and continued to move forward with his body.

Just when he thought he was going to die, a vermilion door suddenly came into view.

Yizhuang!

Duan Xilong almost burst into laughter with excitement...

Chang Shijie was still inside, the Taoist priest surnamed Su, and the old man Zhao Tu were all inside.

As soon as Duan Xilong remembered that there were still so many people in Zhuangzi, Duan Xilong felt that the fear in his heart weakened a little.

Using both hands and feet, he rushed out of the wall while rolling and crawling.

Fortunately, the rope they used to climb over the wall just now is still there.

Duan Xilong almost squeezed out his last strength, climbed the rope and entered Yizhuang.

Just a ray of doubt flashed through his mind.

I was scared out of my nerve just now, so I ran towards the outside of the town.

He thought that even dying in the mouth of a wild beast was better than dying in the hands of a ghost.

But Yizhuang is located at the end of the town.

In other words, it is completely opposite to the direction of running.

Why did you run and run, and somehow came to Yizhuang?

It's just that the joy of escaping death has diluted this doubt.

He staggered to his room and pushed open the door.

Inside the room were four empty bedding.

"Where did Chang Shijie go?" Duan Xilong was taken aback for a moment.

"Where did you go?" Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind.

Duan Xilong turned his head and found that Zhao Tu had appeared in the yard at some point, looking at him.

The moment he saw Zhao Tu, Duan Xilong couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Although you may be scolded if you meet this old man, it is better than meeting a ghost.

He showed a forced smile: "Well, I just had a stomachache and went to the latrine... Old man, have you seen Chang Shijie?"

As if afraid that Zhao Tu would not recognize him, Duan Xilong stretched out his hand and gestured: "The one who is as tall as me, and carries a long bag on her back, looks cold and doesn't like to talk."

Zhao Tu's expression was a little strange: "He just went out and went to the latrine."

"what?"

Duan Xilong smiled embarrassingly: "Then...that might be a coincidence, I came back from the other side, so I probably didn't see it."

"Ah."

Zhao Tu nodded: "Go to bed early."

After saying that, he turned and left.

But what Duan Xilong didn't see was that after Zhao Tu turned around, his face suddenly became very strange, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if saliva was flowing out.

Duan Xilong went to that Taoist Su's room to have a look again. Through the window sill, he happened to see Su Mo lying on the bed with his back turned to him.

"Strange, isn't this Taoist meditating all the time?"

"...Forget it, maybe I was tired from meditating and fell asleep.".

Chapter 163

In the room, Duan Xilong curled up in the quilt, staring vigilantly out of the window.

Even the slightest sign of trouble would arouse his vigilance.

"Damn, why hasn't Chang Shijie come back?" He cursed bitterly, hesitating whether to go to the Taoist priest's room and squeeze him.

As time passed, he only felt that his upper and lower eyelids were constantly fighting, and a strong sense of sleepiness hit his heart.

I just experienced such a violent run, and I was exhausted physically and mentally after encountering a ghost.

Now that I first entered this environment that I thought was safe, all kinds of fatigue naturally rushed up at the same time.

Just like that, Duan Xilong unconsciously fell asleep hugging the quilt.

.........

On the altar, Dean Xu shouted loudly, and the surrounding townspeople kept shouting after him.

After a long time, the shouting stopped.

Then several couples walked to the middle of the altar with their babies in their arms.

Teacher Xu bit his index finger, tapped each baby's forehead, and said, "Let's get started!"

Those few women all showed a look of unbearable.

After all, this is the instinct of being a mother.

However, they finally handed over the child to the red-robed townspeople who came over.

The townspeople lined up neatly with babies in their hands.

There is a well in the middle of the altar. At this moment, 12 hanging baskets are lifted up from the well.

The townspeople put the babies one by one into the basket, and then pulled the rope on it.

Seeing their children falling slowly with the hanging basket, all the women howled loudly, and some of them wanted to rush towards the well like crazy, but were stopped by people.

Soon, the ceremony came to an end.

But Su Mo had a strange look on his face.

There was no evil hiding in that well.

On the contrary, the inside of the well can be said to be the cleanest place in the whole town, because there is no evil intention in it, it seems a bit abnormal.

And after those babies fell into it, the breath of life did not disappear.

But this point, those townspeople obviously don't know.

They all thought that they had sacrificed their child to Li Gui.

But at this time, ten men walked up to the altar again.

The men, all in white robes, were tied to wooden frames by those around them.

Several strong men came up, holding big knives, and slashed at the hands and feet of those men.

puff-

The screams were accompanied by the sound of steel knives chopping bones, and blood sprayed in the night sky.

The hands and feet of those men were all chopped off!

And judging by their appearance, it seems that they are still voluntary.

Immediately after the hands and feet were cut off, someone rushed up with herbs and applied them to the wounds of those people.

Judging by their proficiency, it is obvious that this kind of thing has been done not once.

Yet death was inevitable.

Su Mo could feel that the breath of life of several of them was rapidly weakening, and they would die completely in a short time.

The sacrificial ceremony is coming to an end here.

Next came a few masked people, singing and dancing on top, and finally, a group of people carried the wounded on stretchers and walked down the mountain.

And Su Mo jumped up from the treetops like a roc after they left.

Then the toes lightly moved on a branch, and the whole person rushed forward tens of meters.

After cultivating to the realm of refining and transforming Qi, these are only the most basic.

Therefore, no matter how high the mundane kung fu is, when you meet a cultivator, you are just a slightly stronger ant.

Therefore, it can become the secret book of mortal martial arts treasures. In Maoshan, it is just a copy of Maoshan body training technique for beginner disciples.

After only a dozen breaths, Su Mo had already jumped to the edge of the well.

He looked inside, his yin and yang eyes penetrated the darkness, and he clearly saw the bottom of the well.

This is a dry well.

There was no water source inside, and the babies lay quietly in the basket without crying again.

Babies are the purest creatures in this world.

They can see ghosts and gods, and can sense the slightest changes in breath. Of course, the evil thoughts permeating the town cannot escape their perception.

But because they are mentally incomplete, they can only cry uncomfortably.

Now that he has just entered a truly safe environment, he no longer cries.

It's just that this also caused the townspeople outside to think that they had been eaten by the ghosts.

Su Mo left a paper man outside, then lightly jumped into the well.

There is actually a passage at the bottom of the well.

At the end of the passage is a closed wooden door.

Not long after, the wooden door creaked and was pushed open, and an old man with a stooped figure came out from inside.

The old man is just an ordinary person, not evil.

Su Mo's eyes flickered, he stepped back quietly, and stuck a concealment talisman on his chest.

Sure enough, the old man didn't notice him. He looked down at the baby in the basket and sighed, "Alas...it's another day."

"But you are innocent...you are innocent! You shouldn't have grown up here, let alone stay here..."

While muttering, the old man shed tears.
