Li Yue took two sticks of incense and walked directly to the old graves.
He didn't choose, and casually inserted the two sticks of incense on the graves of the two old tombs.
Then he took away the two bowls of white rice in front of the tombstone.
And when Li Yue was about to retreat to the crowd, Li Yue conveniently took the bowl of rice in front of the collapsed old tomb.
"The thing is in hand."
After Li Yue took a deep look at the sacrifice in his hand, he handed it to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, then handed the lantern in his hand to Li Yang beside him, and then took the three bowls of rice.
At this time, Yang Jian's eyes were fixed on the rice in his hand.
It seems that I want to see what is so special about this thing.
Yang Jian was just looking at the sacrifice in his hand, but he didn't notice the strange look in Li Yue's eyes.
"Now that the sacrifice has been obtained, we'd better leave here as soon as possible."
The strange ghost controller next to Fan Xing looked around uneasily, and then suggested to everyone.
But as soon as he said these words, Fan Xing was the first to shake his head and object:
"You can't leave now. Although Li Yue said that as long as you leave Xiang's grave here, there will be no problem, but that is just speculation after all.
To be on the safe side, I think we need to observe it for a while and make sure there are no problems before we leave."
While Fan Xing spoke, he looked at Li Yue and Yang Jian.
Li Yue and Yang Jian had similar thoughts to Fan Xing.
So he nodded slightly.
When everyone saw that Li Yue and Yang Jian had expressed their opinions, they naturally had no objections.
In this way, everyone stayed in this clearing in the forest for a while.
At this time, most of everyone's attention was focused on the two old tombs where Li Yue left incense just now.
Yang Jian is also prepared. Once something unusual happens to the old grave, he will put back the sacrifices in his hands as soon as possible.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon half an hour had passed.
There was nothing strange about the two old graves from which the sacrifices were taken.
Incense seems to really stabilize the existence in the tomb.
It seems that Li Yue’s previous speculation came true.
"It seems that your judgment is correct. Three sticks of incense in exchange for three bowls of rice is a deal with the dead that was planned in advance."
A strange look flashed in Yang Jian's eyes.
At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the past few days in his old house.
As time went by, he felt more and more that everything arranged by the ancient house seemed to have profound meaning, and was not just a simple funeral.
It's a pity that he knows too little information and cannot make a more in-depth analysis.
Perhaps only when the first seven come back to life will the hidden things be fully revealed.
"Since we are sure there is no problem here, do we still need to stay here and continue to wait and see?" Daqiang asked bluntly.
Li Yue took a deep look at the old graves not far away.
His eyes were filled with a strange light.
But it disappeared quickly.
"A problem should have been revealed long ago. Since there has been no movement for half an hour, there is a high probability that there will be no changes here.
There is no need for us to stay here any longer."
After Li Yue finished speaking, he looked at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian stared at the tombstones, then nodded and said:
"Then let's go, we need to go to other places to see the rest of the time."
After listening to what Li Yue and Yang Jian said, everyone nodded in agreement.
In this way, everyone left this place along the path again.
Li Yue and Yang Jian walked in the front.
At this time, Yang Jian had already collected the three bowls of rice he received from the tomb, and Li Yang also handed the lantern to Yang Jian again.
As for Li Yue, he walked aside with a leisurely expression.
"Speaking of which, we seem to be very lucky. If one of the two sticks of incense had been extinguished a little later, it would have been completely consumed by now.
In that case, we will have one less bowl of sacrifices, and we still don’t know what will happen on the fifth day of the ghost feast.”
Eagle said happily at this time.
"Yes, yes." Daqiang nodded and said;
"When you burn out a stick of incense, you lose a bowl of rice. If you consume it all, you won't be able to replace it with white rice. We will be really in danger on the fifth day."
Hearing this, Li Yue nodded silently in his heart.
Last night, when he saw that a few sticks of incense in front of the coffin could protect the people in the back hall and even bless them, Li Yue suspected that the function of this thing was not that simple.
But Li Yue didn't expect that this thing was related to the ghost banquet on the fifth day.
If these sticks of incense hadn't suddenly been extinguished for some reason last night, the back hall would have been eroded by evil spirits last night.
In the end, all these sticks of incense will definitely be consumed.
In this way, last night might be relatively relaxed.
However, the danger level on the corresponding fifth day will be greatly increased.
This is simply safety on the fifth day of overdraft.
Thinking of this, Li Yue suddenly thought of Zhou Deng again.
It stands to reason that these sticks of incense in front of the coffin cannot be extinguished.
Because that is an unlucky thing.
Although this funeral in the old house was unusual, the person who planned it was Zhang Dong.
But on this point, Li Yue felt that there should be no exception.
In other words, if the two sticks of incense in front of the coffin go out, there must be other reasons.
The only person Li Yue could think of was Zhou Deng.
Perhaps he disrupted the arrangement and announced the funeral in advance, causing the ancient house to lose balance; it is also possible that Zhou Deng placed the incense in front of the old grave in advance, disrupting the established order.
Only then did the incense go out, otherwise the remaining two sticks of incense would not have been retained.
Although Zhou Deng seemed to have done a good deed inadvertently, Li Yue did not have a good impression of Zhou Deng because of this.
After all, if it weren’t for Zhou Deng’s chaos, these things wouldn’t have happened.
And there is another point: Li Yue observed three sticks of incense in front of the coffin on the first day.
Although it was burning at that time, it was extremely slow.
Li Yue felt that if he continued to consume it at the current speed, the three sticks of incense would last at least six or seven days.
Even if they bring all three sticks of incense to the old grave, they can still survive until Li Yue and the others complete the funeral.
The two burning incense sticks are now extinguished.
Although it can still stabilize the ghosts in the tomb, Li Yue is still a little worried.
"Forget it, there's no point in thinking too much now, let's just take it one step at a time."
Li Yue then stopped thinking about it.
But at this moment, Eagle said with some worry:
"This funeral report has given us a lot of information, especially about the five-day ghost feast. With those three bowls of rice, we should be able to spend it smoothly.
So tomorrow, the fourth day of condolences, we still lack key information and don’t know how we are going to survive.”
As soon as these words came out, the originally relatively relaxed atmosphere suddenly became depressing.
Everyone also reacted at this time.
Although after obtaining the key items of the fifth day of the ghost feast, everyone can successfully spend the fifth day.
But if you can't survive the fourth day of condolences, what's the point?
It's impossible for them to skip the uncertain fourth day of condolences and start the fifth day of the ghost feast directly.
"We still have plenty of time now. We still have time to think slowly. There is no rush." Yang Xiaohua suddenly spoke to comfort everyone at this moment.
Daqiang on the side nodded: "There is still enough time, we can continue to discuss, maybe we will gain something."
