Unscrupulous neighbors

"Hang Rui is still alive for the time being."

Even though she was very unwilling to cut off the contact like this, Ying Chen didn't try again immediately.

Wang Susu took out a bottle of medicine, sprinkled it on Ying Chen's injured arm without saying a word, and said angrily, "Fortunately, Fuzhu gave us a lot of medicine, but I didn't expect it to be really useful."

Yinfeng was not surprised that Ying Chen would do this. As long as something related to Hang Rui happened, Ying Chen would no longer be the Ying Chen they were familiar with.

"What are you going to do next?" Wang Susu, who also understands this truth, knows that Ying Chen will not give up easily, but he doesn't want him to take risks. After all, his safety is related to the fate of the entire mortal world. "Is there a safe way?" ?”

"What we don't know now is which one of the six vessels is hidden here except the jade hu," Ying Chen frowned, "but Hang Rui said that he heard a nursery rhyme in it, and maybe he can know which one is dedicated to it." What is its sacrifice?" Ying Chen looked at the sky, and it was almost evening, "I will try to break in when the sky is later."

"No!" Wang Susu stopped, "Ying Chen, you know you can't take risks!"

"I can do it for you." Yinfeng also disagreed with Ying Chen's doing so, especially after experiencing the illusion of murals, "If the person behind the scenes is waiting for you to take risks, there is no guarantee that he will have other means to deal with you."

"This barrier is too strong, and you will never break it." Ying Chen explained calmly, "It's not just to save Hang Rui, but also because those sacrifices who have been blackened will definitely endanger the world if they escape. I am responsible for the peace of this world, so naturally it is my responsibility."

Both Wang Susu and Yinfeng understand this truth. In fact, there were dangers before, and Ying Chen always rushed to the front. They never worried about it, but now it is different. They are very impulsive and have more uncertainties, which makes them unable to watch Ying Chen take risks alone.

"There is a record in "Zhou Li Chunqiu Da Zongbo", "Song Mingqian said, "'Using jade as six vessels, the heaven and the earth are respected. The blue jade is used to honor the sky, the yellow cong is used to honor the earth, the green jade is used to honor the east, and the red zhang is used to honor the south. Use the white hu to salute the west, and use the Xuanhuang to salute the north." It's like the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens that people later performed to pray for rain. At that time, in addition to royal power, divine power coexisted, and perhaps divine power was even higher than royal power.”

Xue Zhe, who listened very carefully, couldn't help asking: "There was no period of theocracy in history, right?"

"There are indeed no similar records." Song Mingqian said, "Perhaps for some reason, this kind of theocracy is no longer conducive to the management of the ruler, and eventually dies out. There are not no such examples in history, like Buddhism in a certain period because of some The same goes for needing to be at your peak.”

Hang Rui was not interested in any of these. What he cared about now was the six instruments that Ying Chen mentioned, so he asked, "Do you know what sacrifices are usually used in sacrifices?"

"Sacrifice?" Song Mingqian took the notebook from Hang Rui, flipped through a few pages, and then handed it to Hang Rui, "Look, I took these photos in the museum, and the most in the sacrificial pit is ivory. It is suspected that there may be wild elephants here, or they may have been obtained through trading with the surrounding area. In addition, there are many sea shells, and there are also some things such as scepters, copper pots, and bronze statues."

"Then..." Hang Rui thought again and again, and still asked the guess in his heart, "Is it possible to use someone to sacrifice?"

Song Mingqian was silent for a while, and said, "Yes. The sacrificial pits are generally divided into human pits, animal pits, and utensil pits."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Zhe and Hang Rui were silent, but considering the social situation at that time, it really couldn't be measured by the current moral standards.

"People buried in human graves are generally captives from other tribes," Song Mingqian said. "In the current archaeological discoveries, there are human graves of men, women, and children."

Hang Rui returned the notebook to Song Mingqian. If he guessed right, the one who made trouble here was the person who sacrificed it to the Six Qi.

"Let's go, keep going, we can get out."

After Hang Rui finished speaking, he opened a door without hesitation.

However, what appeared this time was no longer the corridor, but a semicircular space. There was a half-person-high stone platform beside the curved wall, like the base of a vase, and there seemed to be another exit on the opposite side. .

The appearance of this space was somewhat beyond Hang Rui's expectation, because in Hang Rui's guess, if the first sentence is about the corridor according to the nursery rhyme, then the second sentence should be something like a bridge no matter how you think about it.

"The two ends are upturned, and the middle is wide."

Hang Rui repeated the nursery rhyme to himself, and looked up at the semicircle space carefully. If you look at it from another angle, the two corners of the semicircle can also be regarded as "two ends upturned".

"Hang Rui, shall we... want to go in?" Xue Zhe felt guilty following Hang Rui, completely unaware of what would happen after entering, "Otherwise, let's see if there are other passages?"

Hang Rui was also not sure whether there would be danger, whether he would accidentally touch the mechanism or something like that.

After thinking twice, Hang Rui turned around and said to Xue Zhe and Song Mingqian: "You stay here, I'll go in and have a look."

"No!" Xue Zhe immediately objected, "How can you go alone, in case there is danger!"

"Because there may be danger, I can only go alone." Hang Rui said calmly, "You should have guessed that since they are coming for me, just like that door, even if you go It won't have any effect."

"That doesn't allow you to go alone!" Xue Zhe was very angry, "Anyway, I don't agree!"

Hang Ruicai didn't care whether Xue Zhe agreed or not, it would definitely not work to stay here, so he stepped into that space with one step, turned around and said to Xue Zhe: "If I can't come out for a while, you just wait where you are, Ying Chen will definitely come to rescue you .”

Xue Zhe followed Hang Rui a step without thinking, but the wall that had disappeared appeared in front of him again, completely isolating them in an instant.

Xue Zhe slapped frantically behind the door, and tried countless times to find the switch through the gap, but it was in vain, as if everything was an illusion, that space had never appeared before, the only difference was that Hang Rui was gone.

"What the hell is this!" Xue Zhe became angry from embarrassment. Thinking that Hang Rui went in after being prepared to sacrifice himself, he felt angry and sad, "When you come out, I will definitely beat you!"

"What should we do now..." Song Mingqian was also sad, "Should we find another way?"

"I won't go, I'll just wait here for him to come out!" Xue Zhe said while sitting on the ground, when he lifted up his clothes, he suddenly found something in his pocket. Trembling, "You...don't bite me!"

Xuebing woke up, turned around in Xue Zhe's hands twice but didn't see Hang Rui, suddenly jumped out of Xue Zhe's hands, and immediately returned to the size of a puppy, facing the wall behind Xue Zhe, "Hoo!" Hoo" cried out.

"This... what is this thing!" Song Mingqian's eyes widened, and he pulled Xue Zhe excitedly and asked, "Did it just grow bigger by itself? What kind of animal is this!"

Suddenly Xuebing turned her head around, protected Xue Zhe behind her, growled calmly, and made an attack on Song Mingqian.

"Xuebing, what's the matter with you?" Xue Zhe didn't understand, but he also understood that Xuebing's action was treating Song Mingqian as an enemy. He didn't dare to reach out to comfort Xuebing, so he had to slow down his voice, "He's not a bad person. He's just curious about you."

However, Xuebing's attitude didn't change, it was staring at Song Mingqian, more precisely, at the head emerging from behind Song Mingqian.

"This... what is this thing!" Xue Zhe leaned against the wall tightly behind his back, and he was too frightened to move. He watched something emerge from Song Mingqian's shoulder. When he took a closer look, it was a child's face, which was pale. A face with a bright red mouth grinning at him, Xue Zhe didn't hear the laughter, but thinking of the child's voice that Hang Rui said he heard, Xue Zhe felt that his soul was about to be scared out of his wits If it wasn't for Xuebing still blocking him, I'm afraid he would turn around and run away immediately.

"What?" Song Mingqian didn't notice it at all, so he asked Xue Zhe back, "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't move!" Xue Zhe was flustered, and leaned against the wall and moved a little to the side, "You... behind you..."

"What's behind me?" Song Mingqian turned around, and that head followed him to the side to avoid it.

But Xue Zhe saw another head protruding from his other shoulder.

Damn!It turned out to be two!

Xue Zhe was about to cry in fright. He wanted Hang Rui to open the wall very much. He would rather go in and step on the trap than be with two ghosts here!

"What's the matter with you?" Song Mingqian didn't notice anything wrong, but felt that Xue Zhe's reaction was very strange, and felt that Xue Zhe actually had a monster he had never seen before, so he also had some doubts about him in his heart, subconsciously He also took two steps back.

After calming down a bit, Xue Zhe thought in his mind, Song Mingqian followed them all the way, and the spirit beast raised by Hang Rui did not show any weird behavior, which meant that Song Mingqian himself had no problem, since Song Mingqian had no problem, then Xue Zhe felt I can't just ignore my own death.

But how to save this?

"I don't know if they can hear it..." Xue Zhe plucked up the courage to stand up a little bit, hid behind Xuebing, and said in a low voice, "Don't move when you hear it, you must stay calm!"

Seeing Xue Zhe like this, Song Mingqian suddenly realized that the problem was with himself, and suddenly his heart turned cold. He imitated Xue Zhe and said in a low voice: "Our teacher said, you don't scare me..."

"Calm down and listen to me," Xue Zhe's throat tightened, looking at the smiling heads lying on Song Mingqian's shoulders, one left and one right, he pinched himself unconsciously, trying to see if he was dreaming. After realizing the pain, Xue Zhe resigned to his fate, and whispered, "On your shoulders, there are two ghosts..."
