Shu Han was a little surprised by Du Hongbo's remarks. He originally thought that Du Hongbo had brought him out to find a place to deal with him so as not to affect the sacrifices in the village.
Shu Han was also happy to do this, because in Du Hongbo's eyes, he might just be a monk in the early stage of cultivating the void, and he could do whatever he wanted.
In fact, when it comes to actual action, the old Du Hongbo is not as good as himself in terms of magic and physical skills.
However, since Du Hongbo gave such an argument, Shu Han could not jump to conclusions and insisted that Du Hongbo was the devil's accomplice.
He carried the two corpses and asked calmly: "In that case, who set up the formations in the village? If the formations are not to conceal the aura, what is their use?"
Du Hongbo shook his head.
"I feel ashamed to say that I have been studying in the village for almost eight hundred years, but I still haven't understood the function of this formation. As for who set up this formation, I don't know. When I led a team into Maha Island by mistake,
That formation pattern has already been erected here. It’s so old that it’s impossible to verify it.”
Shu Han squinted his eyes: "You don't even know what the formation pattern does, so you dare to live in it all the time?" Du Hongbo explained: "Although we don't know the specific function of this formation pattern, when we enter the formation pattern,
The demon's attacks on us have obviously been reduced. This effect is obvious. In order to avoid the demon, there is no reason for us not to live in that formation."
Shu Han could barely accept this explanation. He pointed to the runes on the corpse and asked, "Since that formation pattern is left over from Maha Island, where did you get the runes on the corpse? Look.
The devil likes corpses with runes engraved on them!"
"Little friend, do you still remember the monk who passed through the cave and came to Maha Island that I told you before?"
Shu Han nodded.
"Didn't that person go crazy and be devoured by the demon in the end?"
Du Hongbo nodded: "That's true, but I didn't mention one thing to my fellow Taoists, that is, when the person rushed out of the cave, he had this set of runes on his body. The subsequent holy sacrifice runes were all imitated on that person's body.
Rune."
"Back then, we discovered that people wearing this set of runes are extremely able to attract the devil. And strangely speaking, as long as the devil devours the person wearing the runes, it will settle down for a period of time and not come out to harm others. So this set of runes was used by me.
It has been passed down, and this is the key to protecting the stability of Maha Island."
Du Hongbo said and looked at Shu Han.
"My life is short, and I am about to break into the mysterious cave. I will most likely die soon. From now on, I can only leave it to you, Fellow Daoist Yu, to draw the runes on the body. I also ask Fellow Daoist Yu to remember this set of runes. Without this set of runes, there will be no death."
During the Holy Sacrifice, the devil will probably go crazy and harm many people in a short period of time. For the safety of you and the people in the village, I ask Fellow Daoist Yu to stick to this tradition."
Du Hongbo spoke sincerely, as if a dying person was explaining his funeral affairs to Shu Han. Shu Han was not yet ready to bite Du Hongbo to death completely, so he was doubtful and could only nod in a pretentious manner.
The two of them climbed over mountains and ridges, and soon came to the mountainside, which was only a mountain away from the cave. There was a platform halfway up the mountain. Standing on this platform, you could see the mysterious cave on the opposite side.
Du Hongbo instructed Shu Han to place the two corpses on the platform and looked at the cave. Perhaps thinking that he would soon break into the mysterious cave, fear appeared in his eyes unconsciously.
"Put the sacrifice here. Soon the demon will smell the scent of the sacrifice and come here. It has been like this for more than 800 years. Fellow Daoist Yu, follow me and retreat to the top of the mountain. Don't disturb the demon's eating. Otherwise we will
The situation for both could be dangerous."
Du Hongbo's performance made Shu Han feel that he did not look like an accomplice of the devil, but he could not be sure. After all, the cultivators were good at disguising, especially the old people in the cultivator. The older they got, the more demonic they became. So Shu Han did not reveal that the devil was not him.
Opponent matters.
Shu Han's first problem now is to find out the details of Du Hongbo. If he is an accomplice of the devil, Shu Han will first get rid of him, then dig out the truth about the devil from his mouth, and then lure out the devil and catch them all. He doesn't want to
When he was fighting a decisive battle with the devil, there was an unknown person in the late stage of Void Refining standing behind him.
The two of them came to the top of the mountain and waited for a while. Suddenly, the sticky smell floating in the air became stronger. Shu Han couldn't see the demon in the reverse world in the real world. But the sticky feeling made him sure that the demon had already moved out.
Different from Shu Han's calmness, Du Hongbo showed some fear. After some questioning, Shu Han learned that Du Hongbo almost never came here, and always handed over the bodies of holy sacrifices to the young people in the village to carry them. Or it could be
It can be said that he is thinking about the village, or he is afraid of death. There is no conflict between the two.
When the devil approached the holy sacrificial platform, the runes on the two corpses immediately lit up. As if they had come back to life, the two corpses stood up crookedly from the platform and suddenly hung in the air like puppets.
Medium. Two fresh corpses are withering at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The golden runes on the withered corpses were rapidly turning black. As the runes turned black, the two corpses gradually disappeared in mid-air, as if they were being swallowed by invisible creatures one by one. The scene was horrifying.
At this time, Du Hongbo took a slight sniff of the sticky air, his white brows furrowed slightly, and said in surprise: "Strange, why is this devil's aura so much weaker? The last time I watched from a distance, its aura was stronger than
It’s much better now. Weird things happen!”
Shu Han thought to himself: This old man's senses are really sharp! He is indeed a guy who has been dealing with demons for eight hundred years!
Soon, the demon finished eating the corpses of the two holy sacrifices. Shu Han didn't understand the meaning of observing the devil eating like this. But Du Hongbo said: "It still makes sense. The holy sacrifice of the two corpses took a total of quarter and a half.
Zhong. Next time I force my way into the cave, I must seize the opportunity for the demon to eat and try to avoid direct contact with the demon. This way, the probability of success may be higher!"
Then Du Hongbo looked at Shu Han and said apologetically: "Fellow Daoist Yu, the reason why I brought you here today is actually because I have an unkind invitation."
"Please tell me!"
"When the devil is eating, it will briefly open a passage between the real world and the reverse world inside the corpse. The next time I forcefully break into the cave, can fellow Taoists wait here, and when the devil is eating, pass through the corpse and give the devil a heavy
One blow to help me!?"
The old man sneered and said: "Maybe this sounds a bit dangerous, but I have tested it before. After severely injuring a demon, the demon will generally not continue to attack. This can buy me some time..."
Shu Han said casually: "Fellow Daoist Du, don't worry. I, Yu, will definitely come here to help you." Du Hongbo showed a comfortable smile. He was full of gratitude and wanted to bow to Shu Han, but suddenly, there was an extremely strong feeling.
The sticky breath rushed directly to the two of them from below. Before Du Hongbo could say his thanks, his throat seemed to be strangled tightly by a pair of transparent hands.
