Long Zu said: "I still don't know whether the person who built the pothole here is a human or a demon. If it is a demon, it would make more sense. There are many things that are simply impossible to do with the power of mere mortals."
"Wait..." Ruyi suddenly discovered something.
"how?"
"Cows, sheep, chickens..." Ruyi kicked and kicked the corpses in the pit with her feet, and counted: "Dogs, horses, pigs..."
After naming the animals, Ruyi's whole body shook violently. She felt a shuddering breath for no reason: "This is the sixth animal..."
Ruyi remembered that in the past, before ten capable men and strangers set out to the lake to attack Deng Zishuang, the boss had held a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven. A serious and formal sacrifice required the blood of six animals.
Only six livestock are needed to offer sacrifices to heaven, so what are the countless livestock carcasses in this pit meant for sacrifice...
There are six types of livestock, no more and no less. This cannot be just a coincidence.
Before the two of them could think about it, they heard a distant and low sound, like a bell, coming from somewhere in the grotto.
After thinking about it, a burst of hot wind came from nowhere, making the damp and cold cave suddenly become as hot as summer.
The stench of the rotting corpse was even more pungent when blown by the hot wind.
The ghouls who were originally hiding behind the stone began to become restless. They pushed each other and withdrew from the stone. They each stretched out their black-haired arms and headed towards the other slender passages connecting the giant pit.
.
"The ghouls probably can't stand the heat." Long Zu said.
Ruyi squinted at the long and narrow corridors, then looked back at the way they came, and said: "These roads are exactly the same as the way we came here."
Long Zu said: "Let's go and follow the ghouls. I want to know where they are going."
Ruyi Dragon Ancestor kept a certain distance from the slow-moving ghouls, followed them not far away, and followed them through the corridor.
After passing the corridor and walking a little further, you can see a bronze tripod with light green smoke floating in it.
Longzu was surprised and said: "There are actually incense trees burning here!" He urged Ruyi: "Hurry up and hold your breath, and don't let it happen again."
After sniffing the green smoke from the burning incense wood, these ghouls became manic. They looked at Ruyi and Long Zu with ill intentions, and wanted to bite them two, but because of the tunnel
It was too hot and I gave up. I could only crawl out of the small hole.
Ruyi looked at the ghouls stumbling into the small hole and suddenly understood: "The ghouls that appeared in the cave were not lured there by the kiss of roasted hare. They should be the same as these ghouls.
, were all forced up by the sudden heat wave."
Dragon Ancestor nodded and said: "The design of this pit is very clever. Place a bronze cauldron here, burn incense wood to release the enchanting smoke, and then trigger the heat after a while to drive the ghoul away. Ghoul
Inhaling the hallucinogenic mist, you will become crazy, and you will want to harm people after you come out of the hole...Who made this hole?"
Ruyi said: "If I guess correctly, the ghouls are not gathered here at all, but are raised here by others."
Long Zu strongly agrees with this statement: "After the ghouls leave the pits, if the sun shines brightly outside, they will naturally not be able to bear it and will want to return to the underground pits. There are also rotten objects placed in the pits.
Ghouls use it, so the ghouls don’t have to leave in search of things. Since there are enough things, there is no conflict between them. Such an environment is very suitable for raising ghouls.”
