"It could never be a priest. Yan Lie affirmed, "In ancient times, women in the barbarian tribe had a low status and could not serve as priests, but I prefer to believe that she was a priest." ”

"Sacrifice?" Touched by Yan Lie's words, they thought about it, the true purpose of this temple, they still don't know anything.

If this woman is a sacrifice, then she must have something to do with the purpose of this temple, thinking of this, Bang Xi wanted to start with this woman to see if he could find any clues from her.

"Yan Lie, help me help her. Bang Xi commanded.

Yan Lie didn't move, "What are you doing?"

"If she's a sacrifice, I'd like to see if she has any totems, spells, or anything like that. "If there is, then we will know what the purpose of these people sacrificing her is, and then the purpose of the temple will be clear." ”

Hearing this, Yan Lie came over and helped her straighten the body of the female corpse according to her instructions.

After reciting the sentence "How offended" in his mouth, he lifted the white robe on the female corpse and checked the marks on her skin with a dignified face.

However, she didn't find the totem and spell she wanted, but she found a very strange thing.

She was a little incredulous at first, and pressed her hand on the woman's abdomen before she still spoke hesitantly, "She...... Are you pregnant?"

Yan Lie's head was originally turned to the side, but when he suddenly heard this, he was also stunned.

"Are you sure?"

"No, I'm not sure. ”

The woman used for the sacrifice, because it was dedicated to the gods, generally required physical and mental holiness, and if the woman was pregnant, it would be a great sin of disrespect.

"Pregnant women are considered ominous and are not eligible to enter the temple. Yan Lie's eyebrows frowned slightly, "You can confirm it again." ”

Bang Xi looked at the belly that was not very bulging, and pouted, "I'm not a doctor, how can I confirm it." ”

"But you're also a woman, don't you know if you're pregnant?" Yan Lie pursed his lips.

"Although I am a woman, I have never given birth!" "Wan Xi raised his voice slightly, and then muttered, "Do you have any misunderstanding about women......

Yan Lie was speechless, and he had no experience, so he was even more inexperienced.

No, they had to skip that and move on to the search for other clues.

However, after searching for a long time, they didn't find any more anomalies, so the only thing they could do now was to move on.

In fact, as soon as they entered the temple and saw the faceless idol, they found that behind the idol, there was a small door with a different shape and delicate shape.

Now that he got closer, he found that the whole door was actually in the shape of a lush tree, and the door was hollowed out and carved with fruitful fruits.

"What kind of tree is this, and it can bear so much fruit? Bang Xi exclaimed.

"It should be the tree of life. Yan Lie looked at the small doorway, "In many ancient tribes, there are similar patterns to represent the power of life. ”

Bang Xi reached out and tried to push the door, but he didn't move.

"There should be a mechanism set up here. Yan Lie counted the fruits on the door, and found that there were eighty.

"That's too much. "Frowning, there are so many fruits, how can you tell how to open the mechanism?

The Wind Spirit, who hadn't spoken for a while, spoke, "Ninety-nine is one, could it have something to do with nine?"

"But there are only eighty fruits here. "If it's not one missing, it has nothing to do with the number of ninety-nine." ”

As she spoke, she began to look carefully on the door, and finally she found a flaw, "Look, there is a flaw in the door, is there something supposed to be here?"

Yan Lie and the Wind Spirit took a closer look, and felt that it was quite like this, there seemed to be something here, which had been artificially destroyed.

"Maybe the people in this temple did it. "Their infighting may have something to do with the secret behind this door, and they don't want future generations to have another chance to enter." ”

"Assuming that there is really one fruit here, then among the eighty-one fruits, where is it related to the mechanism?" said with his arms crossed.

Yan Lie was also thinking about this problem with her, and suddenly their eyes fell on the pregnant female corpse again.

"Do you think the same way as me?" Wan Xi glanced at him, and saw a tacit understanding in his eyes, "Let's talk together?"

Yan Lie bowed slightly, and the two of them spoke in unison, and spit out four words at the same time, "Nine stars are connected." ”

After that, they looked at each other and smiled, and the Wind Spirit only felt that his heart was clogged again.

Bang Xi said to it: "It's also a hint you gave us." ”

Her face turned to the female corpse on the ground, "I've been thinking about it all the time, although Yan Lie said that a woman is unclean when she is pregnant, and she can't step into the temple, but there are no absolutes, what if it's not a coincidence, but on purpose?"

The pregnant female corpse is likely to be related to the biggest secret of this temple.

In fact, the tree of life on the door in front of them also inspired her, looking at this huge fruit, isn't it alluding to new life?

Throughout the ages, a woman's pregnancy has been known as a beaded fetus.

The Wind Spirit said before that "ninety-nine return to one", so if this "nine" is combined with the pregnant female corpse on the ground, it can produce another word - Nine Stars Alignment.

"Do you know the arrangement of the nine stars?" asked Yan Lie and the Spirit of the Wind.

The latter two nodded at the same time.

However, the Wind Spirit said again: "Then the question is, even if we know that the 'Nine Stars Alignment' is the method of opening the mechanism, then what should we do with this last missing fruit?"

The person who destroyed the fruit obviously didn't want them to open this door again, so the place that was destroyed was, of course, the arrangement of one of the beads in the Nine Star Alignment.

After a long period of silence, he turned to Yan Lie, "Last time, my living note got wet, and you used a secret method that can turn back time to help me, so this time ......"

"I've only tried this method on things that have just broken down. Yan Lie wasn't too sure, "This door is something that broke down a month ago, and I don't have 100% confidence." ”

"It's okay, give it a try. Now they have nothing else to do but do this, "I'm sure you can." ”

Yan Lie bowed slightly, his secret method could only be placed on small objects, and the door was still too big for him, so he could only cover the part where the fruit disappeared with one hand.

The soft white light flashed, and the eyes of the Wind Spirit were focused on the door, full of anticipation.
