He Xiaoman's mind was buzzing. Even if Qiuyan suddenly came over to her and said, "I love you, let's get married," He Xiaoman would not be so surprised.

No, no, no, even if Qiu Yan said that he wanted to marry her and the landlady at the same time and live a shameless life together, He Xiaoman would not be so surprised.

Let alone dreaming, even if she had been struck by lightning, she would never have thought that the knife creditor, the mysterious hermit master her grandma said, who could save people from water and fire and stop the evil dragon from causing trouble, was actually the old rat in front of her.

She really didn't believe it.

I wouldn't believe it even to death.

"Presumably someone from the Zhang family told you everything when you took the knife. We, the An clan, have kept your Zhang family safe and well-fed for more than two hundred years, and have kept the villages at the foot of the mountain safe and sound for more than two hundred years. Now, now

It’s time for you to pay me for over two hundred years.”

Although He Xiaoman's heart was already full of energy, his face was still calm. He looked up at the gray old lady and said noncommittally, "Oh?"

The gray old lady looked at the girl in front of her. She could only be considered to be of average appearance, with good bones and average skin. There was nothing outstanding about her except for those faintly precious eyes.

But now I have an admirable calmness. Even if it is disguised, it is very rare to be able to be so emotionally restrained and invisible in front of her, especially at such an age.

She stretched out her hand to grab He Xiaoman's wrist: "Come to Ancestor."

At this moment, He Xiaoman raised his hand and tucked his hair behind his ears, but the gray old lady missed the chance.

Green light flashed in her two round pupils, and the old lady showed a kind smile: "You don't have to be afraid, the cost is actually not terrible. As long as you follow me there, use that kitchen knife

Just cut your finger, drop the blood on the glowing stone, and then cut it off for me."

It was just a piece of jade the size of a fist. After the water in the pool completely receded, the silver light illuminated almost the entire bottom of the pool.

"What kind of stone is this? It actually glows?" He Xiaoman seemed to be attracted by the stone and asked curiously.

"This is called luminous stone. Ancestor, I want to move it back to the cave for lighting."

"But I saw that he used a knife to pry it here for a long time and couldn't get it off. What if I can't get it off too?"

"Don't worry, as long as you smear the blood on the stone, you can easily take it off with the kitchen knife."

After all, this is a dispute that lasts for hundreds of years. If you just donate some blood and energy and return the kitchen knife, you can understand the cause and effect. The price is not cheap at all.

If the person who borrowed the knife really took the prosperity and prosperity of the world and the well-being of the people as his own responsibility as his grandmother said, then He Xiaoman would believe him if he only asked for such a small price.

But these words came from the mouth of the old rat in front of him, and He Xiaoman didn't believe them.

The corpses of children in the blood pools of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were matched with skinned rats, as well as the endless death curses on Zhao Qingming and others, plus the various behaviors of the gray old lady, how do you think about these big people?

Rats are anything but benign.

He Xiaoman even felt that the so-called knife loaner was a scam.

It is a joke that this group of people with no outlook on life would plan so painstakingly for the sake of the common people.

But why did a group of rats set up such a centuries-old scam?

The old lady still nodded kindly, rolled her little eyes and said: "You are a smart child. You must have heard some of the conversations I had with the Sheep family. In the five major families, my Hui family is the rat Kaiyuan, who is good at replenishing luck and promoting luck.

, increase luck, transship, but what you are best at is hunting for treasures and rescuing people. The big tomb behind you is not from the Western Zhou Dynasty, but the royal family of the Bohai Kingdom used to take the wealthy family to avoid the mountains, but we, the Dark Tribe, have no regard for these external things.

Interested, as long as you help me get what I want, everything in it will be given to you by my ancestor."

She laughed a few times, which made people feel unspeakably uncomfortable: "Get these things, even if you are the richest man in the country, you can do it."

"real?"

He Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and he quickly covered it up and tried to keep his expression calm.

But these slight changes in expression still couldn't escape the gray old lady's glass-bead-like eyes.

"Then you agree?"

He Xiaoman's eyes flashed with eagerness: "What do you promise? Get that stone off? I agreed, but you have to keep your word!"

"Okay!" Because she was so excited, the old lady's skinny, side-breasted coat's chest rose and fell slightly. She patted her two withered paws and made a "squeaking" sound, clearly conveying the instruction.

The mice started to get busy.

The half of the big rat that had disappeared quickly carried something from the edge of the pool to the bottom.

It turned out to be the dead skinned rat corpses and child corpses from before. They were still arranged in various shapes and placed in specific locations.

Only then did He Xiaoman discover that the entire bottom of the pond was an incised pattern of a seated female figure, surrounded by some complicated engraved symbols, which looked like words and some kind of talismans. The rats placed the corpses on the five internal organs of the seated figure.

The positions of the six fu organs.

The people who were fighting at the same time were controlled by the rats at some point, and they were placed in different locations together with "Bai Kai".

Suddenly there was the sound of gurgling water under my feet, along with a very uncomfortable smell that seemed familiar.

He Xiaoman lowered his head and looked at the blood gradually filling the grooves carved under his feet. This should be the liquid that suddenly disappeared from the blood pool before.

And He Xiaoman was right next to the "moonstone", where the kidneys were.

The old lady asked He Xiaoman to take out the kitchen knife and start working.

How could those people not understand that they were about to be sacrificed in some ritual?

Everyone, including He Youtian, shouted to stop He Xiaoman.

They were either injured or exhausted, and the only thing that could move was their mouth.

He Xiaoman looked at the old lady in embarrassment. The gray old lady ignored her and let out another "Zhizhizhi" sound.

I don't know when those big rats were sitting at the bottom of the circular pool, so densely packed that they formed a circle.

Then there was a heartbreaking sound of metal gears turning, and iron drills more than a foot long suddenly appeared next to the mouse.

The positions of the iron rods happened to coincide with the rats, and they were directly inserted into the mouse's body. Even the rats that were not pierced by the iron rods would actively look for an empty spot and sit on it.

The gray old lady dropped the faucet and crept down to her heart, screaming loudly. He Xiaoman suddenly found that her body was uncontrollably cutting open her fingers with a kitchen knife, causing blood to drip onto the so-called "moonstone".
