Knowing the function of red lanterns, Shen Gunian definitely would not make lanterns by himself, so he finally decided to use Peng Jia's lanterns.

Because during the last worship, the lantern Shen Gu Nian used was Luo Yi's, and the Coffin God didn't notice it.

Peng Jia would secretly leave for the village chief's house halfway, so it was the best decision for Shen Gunian to worship the red lantern.

It not only avoids being suppressed and becomes a half-believer, but also temporarily hides it from the eyes and ears of the Coffin God.

"It's time to go." Shen Gunian picked up the red lantern with candles and walked under the blood moon. The scarlet moonlight swept the night breeze, bringing an ominous omen.

Xiexiu pretended to be the village head and waited outside the village for the puppet villagers to gather, but there was no mandatory requirement to arrange them in order by each household.

Shen Gunian and Peng Jia chose the last one.

The first time he went to worship the coffin god, Shen Gunian obeyed Peng Jia's words and didn't dare to look around casually to avoid being noticed, but this time, before entering the mountain, Peng Jia put on an invisibility cloak and quietly left the team.

Sensing that Xie Xiu didn't notice, Shen Gunian secretly breathed a sigh of relief while observing the surrounding scenery secretly, thinking about the steps he walked in his heart...

The last time it was around this time, the evil cultivators stopped the villagers.

really!

Shen Gunian lowered his head and lowered his eyes, waiting for Xie Xiu to start checking.

At first, Shen Gunian thought that it was Xixiu who had noticed his arrival, and that's why he acted like this.

And tonight, Xie Xiu touched the lantern with the lantern, which made Shen Gunian realize that Xie Xiu was actually ensuring the authenticity of the sacrifice.

Could it be that the red lantern has another function besides suppressing the cultivation of the monks and turning the monks into believers?

The team set off again silently, Shen Gunian could only suppress his chaotic thoughts, and continued to observe, the sudden, abrupt red and vines made Shen Gunian's starry eyes slightly widen.

A flash of inspiration flashed into Shen Gunian's mind like lightning.

He won't admit it wrong, these vines and reddish weeds are exactly the same as the ones on the mountain behind the village chief!

Peng Jia said that since a demon god is to be enshrined and sacrificed, there must be a sacrifice of the body.

If Liu Hong in the coffin god is now a sacrificial body, then Liu Shu is the sacrificial offering, and the two will be in the eyes of the formation, and they cannot be too far apart.

Therefore, every time the evil cultivators took the villagers to worship, they actually walked around the whole village twice, the purpose was to deceive people and prevent the monks from sneaking in to find out where the formation was.

Thinking of this, Shen Gunian was not happy but worried.

The eye of the formation is the most important core of the formation. If Peng Jia destroys the formation and is noticed by the evil cultivator, from this distance, the evil cultivator can rush back.

Thinking of this, Shen Gunian knew that he had to find a way to hold back the evil cultivators.

With a bright red light, Shen Gunian's eyes touched the winding roots of the coffin god tree under his feet, and he frowned slightly.

Delusion?

Why does he feel that Coffin God has grown faster?

In order to make sure that he was not mistaken, Shen Gunian took advantage of Xiexiu's focus on the villagers' worship, and quickly looked up at the Coffin God. Suddenly, a strong uneasiness surged in his heart.

no, no...

Shen Gunian lowered his head quickly, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his starry eyes seemed to reflect the dense red lanterns on the Coffin God Tree.

Red lanterns, sacrifices, children, blood, Liu Shuhong...

Shen Gunian lowered his head and looked down at the red lantern in his hand, the corners of his lips curled silently.

Is this cleverness being mistaken by cleverness?

Turns out the real problem was the amount of tribute!

boom -

In the silent night, there was a loud noise, red and black smoke spewed out like a wave, and the scarlet light of the blood moon dimmed in an instant.

Shen Gunian suddenly raised his head, and saw that the source of the light beam was behind the coffin god, which also confirmed Shen Gunian's guess, the village head's house was only separated from the coffin god by a mountain wall!

"Damn it! Who broke my formation—" Xie Xiu cursed angrily, his face full of anger, but his inability to leave made Shen Gunian make up his mind to take action.

All of a sudden, Shen Gunian destroyed the red lanterns in his hands with his spiritual power, and at the same time, his palm urged the seeds to germinate and turn into long whips, destroying all the red lanterns in the hands of the villagers with the momentum of sweeping away thousands of troops.

Even if Xie Xiu noticed this unexpected moment, he would not be able to react.

"It's you!" Xie Xiu came back to his senses in shock and astonishment, staring at Shen Gunian coldly with poisoned eyes: "You didn't make a lantern!"

Shen Gunian's expression was calm, but his nerves tensed secretly, and he said coolly, "Fortunately, I didn't do it, otherwise I would have become a sacrifice to the coffin god tonight."

Before Xie Xiu could react, Peng Jia's figure suddenly came from the gap in the canyon above the Coffin God's head with his sword, his face turned pale, but he was not injured.

Shen Gunian was surprised and said: "Brother Peng? Why are you back?"

He thought it would take a long time.

Peng Jia asked anxiously: "Junior Brother Shen, have you offered lanterns yet?"

Shen Gu Nian shook his head: "No..."

Peng Jia was obviously relieved, and said in a heavy tone: "You and I guessed wrong. From the beginning to the end, the tribute is the indispensable item to make the coffin god become a demon god."

Xie Xiu's eyes were dark, and he said angrily, "How did you find out!"

Peng Jia took out his magic weapon, which was an octagonal compass. His face was very ugly, and his eyes were full of anger: "You have harmed mortals, killed countless children, your crime is unforgivable, and you are trying to create demon gods against the sky. I swear in the name of Jiuling disciple Peng Jia, if I don't kill you today, I will die!"

Shen Gunian was shocked!

Where did Senior Brother Peng Jia learn the truth from Liu Shu that he was so angry that he made a poisonous oath?

"Jie, jie, jie..." Xie Xiu smiled sinisterly, as if he had heard some big joke, and sneered coldly: "You want to kill me? You two are messing with my good things tonight, and no one wants to run away—"

As soon as the words fell, Peng Jia and Xie Xiushenfa suddenly turned into afterimages and fought in the air, fighting in a daze.

Shen Gunian took this opportunity to destroy the lantern on the Coffin God.

The red lantern has two functions. Villagers sacrifice the flesh and blood of their own children to the coffin god to show believers' belief in the coffin god.

After the children who were sacrificed by their parents to the God of the Coffin were killed, their bodies were cruelly turned into blood by formations, which were used to soak the lantern materials for making tributes to complete the ritual of faith with the God of the Coffin.

The chrysalis that Luo Yi saw inside the Coffin God were all tributes offered by the villagers to the Coffin God.

However, relying solely on the villagers' belief, it is impossible to turn the coffin god into a demon god in a short period of time, so the evil cultivator deliberately introduced casual cultivators into Wangyou Village as a sacrifice.

The difference between a tribute and a sacrifice is that as long as the tribute reaches a certain amount, the coffin god can become a half-demon god, and then monks can be used as sacrifices to activate the formation, so that the coffin god can truly become a demon god!

"Junior Brother Shen, be careful—" Peng Jia shouted hastily, throwing the octagonal compass in his hand to block Shen Gunian's sneak attack from the evil cultivator, but he was hit in the abdomen by the evil cultivator's palm and fell from the air.
