Feng Yu nodded repeatedly. It was her dream to be able to leave the teacher, a verbose old man, and be able to go out and hunt monsters freely. What did Gu Zheng's small request mean? When she got to the top, how did she want to do it? Then Gu Zheng Can you control yourself? A mischievous smile appeared in the corner of Feng Yu's mouth, as if he was not catching monsters, but a urchin who skipped classes. He was in an extremely good mood.
"Follow me, remember, don't call me by my name!" Gu Zheng quickly warned Feng Yu.
"Yes!" Feng Yu replied very well.
It was pitch black all around, except for a few occasional flashes of lightning across the sky, when there was a brief glimmer of light. It was windy and rainy outside, and the rain made a "crackling" sound outside the pavilion, and the doors and windows were also "squeaked" by the wind. There was a creaking sound. The hall was illuminated by lightning, and everyone's faces were pale. Sun Yan could clearly hear everyone's heavy breathing. Among this group of team members, he had not seen many newcomers who were similar to Feng Lang. , such a reaction is naturally normal. He also felt the cold sweat on his back, but occasionally seeing Lin Hai holding the Seven Star Sword in his hand, he felt a lot more courageous, and he quickly recalled what happened. I want to use some of the knowledge I learned from the materials compiled by the organization to add to my appearance.
Gu Zheng squinted his eyes and rubbed the ancient knife in his hand vigorously. It made the ancient knife slightly warm before he stopped.
"What are you doing?" Although Feng Yu couldn't see clearly what Gu Zheng, who was walking in front, was doing, he could still hear a little bit of his voice.
"Sharpen the knife." Gu Zheng's answer was very concise. After stepping on the stairs, the stairs that had been in disrepair for a long time immediately made a "squeaking~ squeaking" sound. When Feng Yu heard this strange sound, he felt psychologically A small insect was moving, and goosebumps appeared. The initial excitement in his heart was gone, replaced by a solemn look on his face. Feng Yu was very curious as to why Gu Zheng was sharpening his knife at this time. She knew Gu Zheng's ancient knife cuts iron like clay, so why does it need to be polished?
Just as she was about to ask, she noticed that the front of Gu Zheng slowly lit up. A faint light appeared in front of Gu Zheng. Feng Yu was surprised. When he looked around, he found that the light was actually shining. It's the ancient sword in Gu Zheng's hand.
"Will your knife shine?" Feng Yu was a little stunned.
"The blade is rubbed with shark beads. If you rub it hard, it will heat up and it will bloom, but it will go out soon." Seeing that Feng Yu seemed to be very interested in his knife, Gu Zheng quickly explained, lest Feng Yu find an excuse to take his knife for "research". When she took away the general's dagger, Gu Zheng noticed that Sun Yan's face was very painful and tangled, but he did not dare What words did she say? From this point of view, it was enough to find out how bad Feng Yu was. Even Sun Yan did not dare to say a word to her, so it was better not to offend her.
"Oh." Feng Yu also knew the function of the shark beads, so she understood after hearing Gu Zheng's explanation.
The pavilion was not high, so there were only a few steps up the stairs, and the two of them reached the top in no time.
Compared with the empty hall below, this second floor has many more things. At this time, lightning flashed outside the window, and the lightning suddenly illuminated the entire second floor. Seeing everything on the second floor, Feng Yu felt... He trembled and quickly covered his mouth with his hands to prevent himself from shouting out loud.
Not far in front of the two of them, there was a huge altar. The altar had nine levels. Each level was filled with densely packed spiritual tablets. It looked like there were no less than a thousand of these tablets.
"So many spiritual cards!" Feng Yu's voice trembled a little.
Gu Zheng's steps were slow, but he said calmly: "The magic tablets won't harm anyone, just be more courageous."
"Huh!" Feng Yu blushed after hearing Gu Zheng's words. She calls herself a demon hunter, but her performance here is really far from the courage and courage that a demon hunter should have. Although demon hunters are not everyone They are all characters who show no fear even if the mountain collapses in front of them, but all of them are extremely courageous and not afraid of any horrifying phenomena in front of them.
"Come, take a closer look." Gu Zheng looked around and walked towards the altar where the spiritual tablets were enshrined.
"Yeah." Feng Yu steeled herself and followed. She looked back from time to time and looked around, worried that the toad spirit would appear at any time. Seeing Gu Zheng's extremely calm look, she felt relieved.
"The people on these spiritual tablets are all named Li..." Looking at the names on the spiritual tablets, Feng Yu couldn't help but frown.
"This is the ancestral temple of Lijiayu. On the tablets here, the ancestors of the Li family are enshrined. Of course they are named Li..." Gu Zheng frowned and said with a slow smile.
"Oh..." Feng Yu was frustrated again, but she was unconvinced and said: "That's not what I meant. In this ancestral temple, in addition to the paternal Li family, there should also be maternal ones. Doesn't Li Jiayu have another surname? Intermarriage? Don’t their mothers’ original surnames appear on their memorial tablets?”
"Yes." Gu Zheng immediately came to his senses after being taught a lesson by Feng Yu. He immediately carefully identified these spiritual positions, trying to discover some mystery from them. As he looked at them, the expression on his face became It's getting weirder and weirder.
"It seems that all the spiritual tablets here are male." Gu Zheng said a little puzzled. The names on the spiritual tablets were enough to determine the gender of these names.
"Yeah." Feng Yu also discovered this: "Wouldn't Lijiayu favor boys over girls to this extent? Women wouldn't even be treated like ancestral temples after their death?" Feng Yu's brows were very tangled.
"No, it shouldn't be like this." Gu Zheng shook his head. "There must be their reasons for doing this." Gu Zheng said, "It's just that we don't know the reason why they did it." Gu Zheng raised the ancient knife in his hand. Moving slowly, he has discovered a pattern. The higher up these spiritual tablets are, the older they are and the higher their seniority. He can't see clearly the spiritual tablets on the highest level, so he jumped onto the altar and looked down. Feng Yu said: "Wait for me below." Before Feng Yu could say anything, he had already started to climb to the top.
"Hey, aren't we here to find that toad spirit?" When Feng Yu saw Gu Zheng's move, he found it difficult to understand why this guy couldn't get along with the spirits of Lijiayu. After Gu Zheng jumped up, "Wow! "In one fell swoop, she tripped over several spiritual figures. Seeing this scene, Feng Yu's expression changed. She thought to herself that she was used to being bold, but compared to Gu Zheng, she still felt inferior.
