() The shopkeeper walked through a grove of trees next to the altar and into a cave at the end of the grove.

In the depths of the cave, a black curtain blocked the way, and on the stone wall was a beating fire, and a huge black shadow was reflected on the top of the cave, and the shopkeeper knelt down in front of the curtain.

"Lord Priest, the living sacrifice source we found this year is a top-grade product, after so many years, Lord Gu God will definitely bless us to refine the finished product of the Seven Lives Gu."

"Tell me, where did you get the living sacrifice this time?" The voice coming from behind the curtain was a little indistinguishable, but it was also extremely cold, and to others, it looked like an outlaw from the underworld, which made people tremble.

"Hehe, this time I caught the Central Plains, and I finally don't have to catch the wandering beggars in the village. More than ten years have passed, and there are still people from the Central Plains who are not afraid of death. The shopkeeper also smiled sinisterly, but compared to the priest in his mouth, it was much inferior, "But speaking of which, this girl has fine skin and tender meat, so it is very suitable for you to use it to refine Gu, Lord Priest." ”

"Well, yes, thank you. The reward is in the cupboard next to you, go get it yourself, remember, don't let anyone else know about this kind of thing. ”

"It's natural, thank you, Priest." The shopkeeper smiled and rubbed his hands as he approached the closed cabinet.

After opening the cabinet, a large pile of silver tickets appeared in front of his eyes in an instant, he happily put the silver tickets in his hand, counted them over and over again, and made sure that it was not when he was dreaming, he put the silver tickets in front of his mouth, kissed and kissed, and finally stuffed them into his sleeve with satisfaction.

"Hey, hey, Priest, I'll send it to you the night before the sacrificial ceremony, and I'll give birth to her these days, so I'll ...... first Stand down? ”

"Well, you don't want to raise people to death anymore."

"How could it be, that time was really just an accident, who knew that the old man was already too sick to die, and when I ran into him, it turned out to be his return to the light, and he was only in good spirits for a while." The shopkeeper smiled even brighter.

"Okay, I know, you go down, it's time for me to start preparing the things for the sacrificial ceremony."

"Yes."

The shopkeeper tightened his sleeve and withdrew from the cave. Hurriedly walked out of the woods, returned to the place where the mandarin duck was, opened the door of a room not far from the small black house, and walked in.

This house is obviously much newer than the little black house, it is not like the little black house is entwined with vines, it is also a wooden structure, the little black house has not been inhabited for a long time, because of the dampness, it has long been eaten by insects and ants.

This is the home of the shopkeeper in the Yushen Village, far away from the main road of the entire village, built near the most remote altar, clean is a little, more just to hide people's eyes.

The shopkeeper squatted down in front of the bed, and the moment he lifted the mattress, the silver tickets covering the entire bed board were exposed to his sight, he grinned, his whole shoulders trembled, and he took out the silver tickets in his sleeves, flattened them one by one, and covered the innermost layer of silver tickets.

"Finally, I can finally leave here, with this money, I can buy a boat, and I can go back to the South China Sea to meet my people!"

The shopkeeper gently put down the mattress and covered the silver ticket of the whole bed, and then he lay down on the bed full of money, put his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes happily, the future is really promising!

It didn't take long for him to hear the sound of "cooing" coming from his stomach, he opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and looked out the window, it was already dark, and the shopkeeper remembered that the woman who was locked in the small black room by himself, according to reason, should have not eaten all day, and the priest's words that asked him not to raise people to death rang in his ears again, and the thought of that eerie voice made him creepy, and he hurried out of the door, and had to go to the street to buy something to eat to fill his stomach.

The Dead Wood Forest becomes particularly terrifying at night, because of the strange environment, the moonlight cannot shine into the dead wood forest at any time, and the darkness all night makes people wonder if this is the forest that leads to hell.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper has become accustomed to walking on this road every day, and at first he would think that there would be some unclean things in such a place, but after a long time, he is no longer afraid of the darkness here, and when he walks on this road, he will no longer be so worried. Now, even with your eyes closed, you can easily walk out of this dead forest.

After a few steps, suddenly there was a "rustling" sound from afar, it sounded like the sound of someone stepping on dead leaves and branches, and the shopkeeper's heart tightened, only himself has been here for so many years, how can someone else come now?

The footsteps sounded rushed, as if they were rushing towards this direction. Soon a glimmer of light appeared in front of the shopkeeper's eyes, and the fire quickly magnified in front of him, about to hit his eyes, and the shopkeeper involuntarily stopped and stood in place.

The light of the fire brushed directly against his hair, followed by a dark shadow striking his shoulder.

"I'm sorry."

The wind carried Chu Huai's voice into the ears of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper rubbed the shoulder that was hurt, and muttered: "It's really bad to run so fast in such a dark place." ”

The shopkeeper didn't take this person to heart, he just thought that he was lost and went into the dry woods, and he thought he was unlucky, and then continued to hum a little song and walked down the street, until he walked out of this dead forest, looking at the people on the street, he reacted, that person seemed to be lost, it was clearly purposefully running into the dead woods!

And at the end of this dead wood, there is only his own house and the little black room where people are locked up!

Now that I think about it, when that person bumped into himself, the sorry sentence he said was clearly the original dialect! Recalling carefully, the figure is also similar to the man who walked beside the woman in his memory.

Suffered! Sacrifice!

The shopkeeper felt that something was wrong, if he didn't guess wrong, that man was going to save the sacrifice!

No way! Can't let her be rescued! She's the money to escape from this place on her own! That's not the point, the point is that if the priest knows about it, he will have to be a living sacrifice for the year! The shopkeeper hurriedly turned around and ran into the dead woods.

Lord Gu God, you can bless that man, he can't find a woman, where is he locked up!

The sound of the wind breaking in his ears, accompanied by the wild beating of his heart, his chest was rising and falling heavily, but he knew that if he stopped now, everything would be over. Occasionally, a branch cut his cheek, and he didn't care so much for a while, just blindly ran forward.

It's miserable, it's miserable, it's careless!

He hated why he couldn't grow two more legs at this time.
