Guxi pulled me out of the crowd, and several times I wanted to ask, but there were pedestrians running in the direction of the school, so it was inconvenient to talk. When I returned to the hotel, I didn't see Xie Xiaoqin, probably tidying up things at the back of the house.

It wasn't until I went upstairs and entered the room that I asked my doubts: "Gu Xi, what's going on?" How can schools sink? ”

He didn't answer me immediately, but dragged me to the window to look at the panicked pedestrians below, and suddenly asked, "How many of them do you say are wearing masks?" I didn't know what I meant, and my eyes were confused.

"The old Xie head of the grain and oil store, the Xie Fu of the school, plus the former mayor of the town, are now three people."

If I realized, it meant that there might be hypocritical characters like Lao Xie and the others hidden in this town, but from the words of the three people, it seems that there was no mention of anyone else. Thinking of those three people, I asked instead, "When are you going to bring Xie Fu and his son and old Xie Tou up from underneath?" Do you want to call the police, you can't let them continue to do the scourge? ”

But he didn't talk about it, Gu Xi asked back: "Who said I was going to bring them up?" ”

I was stunned, "Why don't you bring them in?" Do you mean that they will be able to come up on their own later? Will there be another moth? That Xie Fu's mind is too cunning, and he is vicious, I'm afraid that he will fight back against us. ”

Gu Xi shook his head with a smile, "Xiao Yuan, you have a very bad shortcoming: you are too kind to a woman. If it were me and the other party wanted my life, the best way was not to defend myself, but to treat the other in the same way. The most important thing in this world is kindness, and opportunities will not always be in your own hands, but must be grasped in time when you can. ”

My face began to turn pale, and I couldn't help but grab his hand, and I opened my mouth to make no sound. Taking a deep breath, he forced his emotions and asked, "You ...... them all Killed? Gu Xi lowered his head and glanced at the white knuckles I was holding, and said lightly when he raised his eyes: "Didn't you let you kill?" Hearing this, I didn't relax, and took a step closer and asked, "But you just said... Treat the other in the other way? ”

"They trapped me in the trapped dragon array, and I locked them in the ground, didn't I treat them in the same way?"

I know it's not that simple, "And what else did you do when you brought them out into the shadows?" ”

Gu Xi's breath was cold, and there was unhappiness in his eyes: "Xiao Yuan, I don't like you to talk to me in this tone." Knowing that I was a little impatient, his perverse temper was difficult to control, so he had to soften his voice and demand: "You tell me the whole story." ”

Only then did he restrain his anger, squeezed my hand behind his back, and said, "Didn't I say that I had been using other people's blood to sacrifice the stone plate, but this time it was time to use their own blood." How will you sacrifice the stone plate with living blood? ”

I had never thought about this question before, and after thinking about it, I answered, "Didn't you sprinkle blood on the sand table in the middle?" ”

I don't want Gu Xi to sneer lightly and said angrily: "You should be spilling dog blood?" How could such an intricately designed sacrificial plate be so simple? The bottom of its stone support is where the real drainage works, and if the blood is sprinkled on the surface of the sand table, it will only be absorbed by the sand. Therefore, there must be another channel that can introduce live blood, and this channel cannot be too far, otherwise the live blood will become dead blood when it reaches the bottom of the sand table. ”

"Did you find that channel?"

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course." Twenty meters away from the stone pan there was a small stone trough with the entrance facing the stone pan, but I made a huge mistake. ”

I ignored his mistakes for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do after you bring the three of them up there?" ”

"Since you want to live blood and sacrifice the sand table, it is naturally bloodletting. A person's wrist is broken, and whether they can live or not depends on the will of God, but it seems that even the will of God will not let them live. ”

What he meant was that he didn't kill all three of them, but only cut their pulses, allowing the blood to drain into the stone trough and then under the sand table. Because all three were unconscious at the time, if anyone could wake up before the blood ran out, they might be able to save themselves. It's okay to say that I was deceiving myself, but after hearing him say this, my heart was not so heavy, after all, he didn't really kill them at that time. Moreover, after the sand table was overthrown by Xie Fu, even if I rebuilt the foundation, it was all moved, and it would no longer be firmly glued to it, which is probably one of the reasons why Gu Xi wanted to let blood into the sacrificial plate.

Maybe I'm really like the kindness of a woman as Gu Xi said, but it's not the heart of a white lotus. Xie Fu's actions clearly tell us that the sand table moves, and the whole body moves. Therefore, in order to protect himself, Gu Xi's behavior is understandable.

When I looked back and thought about Gu Xi's words, I suddenly felt as if I had overlooked several points, first of all, why did I have to get living blood to sacrifice the stone plate? Is there any difference between the blood of the living and the blood of the dead?

Gu Xi pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course there is a difference, living blood contains people's vitality, and it is this anger that the stone plate needs to run, not blood." As for the role of blood, you should also be clear, so I don't need to explain more. ”

Blood is used to solidify the sand, that's what I thought about at the time. In fact, after listening to what he said, I still don't quite understand the principle of using people's anger to run the stone plate, but there are more important questions that need to be solved: "What mistake did you just say that you made a big mistake?" And why does Providence not allow the three of them to live? ”

Gu Xi smiled lightly at the corner of his lips: "These two questions can be one, if you hadn't solved that space has four walls and four stone gates, I'm afraid we would have been trapped underground forever." ”

I was shocked and blurted out, "Why?" ”

The light in his eyes became deep and indiscernible, and his voice was shallow and dark: "Because Xie Fu overturned the sacrificial plate." ”

"But didn't I restore it later? Could it be that I am misremembering in the middle? ”

"You're not mistaken, but what is wrong is that I thought that the sand table represented all the boundaries of the dungeon, but I didn't know that I also ignored the stone barriers on the periphery."

After he said this, I immediately had an epiphany, and when we saw the stone plate, we subconsciously focused our eyes on the sand table inside, but ignored the stone barrier on the periphery! In fact, the stone plate told us early in the morning that the space has a total of four walls and is fully enclosed. But even if you realize it later, so what? Why does Gu Xi seem to be very serious?

I heard him say again: "Because I ignored the existence of the stone barrier, I made a low-level mistake, thinking that there was only one stone trough around the stone plate to draw blood. In fact, it has three stone troughs on the other three sides, and after moving the sand table, it has to draw blood in four directions to achieve balance, and I just introduced the blood into one trough, which has already caused the sacrificial plate to start to be unbalanced from the beginning. ”

"After the imbalance...... What will happen? "Even I couldn't control the trills in my words, because I already felt something.

Sure enough, I heard Gu Xi say indifferently: "Didn't you see the consequences?" ”

"Is that the earthquake?"

He shook his head, "It's not an earthquake, it's the collapse of the Trapped Dragon Position. One side draws blood, the three parties are unbalanced, and the outside of the stone city is completely destroyed. And the square stone wall, only one side is hollow, so naturally that side suffers. ”

So, in fact, the earthquake was caused by the destruction of the space under the school? I was afraid that if all the underground sieges collapsed, then the whole town would be wiped out in an instant, and there would be no casualties, and we would not be spared.

In the final analysis, it was thanks to Gu Xi who brought Xie Fu and the three of them to that place to draw blood into the trough. Now that the town has not collapsed, it proves that there is no obstacle within the siege, but he said that it was providence to not let those three people live, does it mean that ...... "Is the stone gate at the bottom unable to be opened?" ”

Gu Xi asked rhetorically: "What is the principle of opening the stone door that I told you before?" ”

It's air pressure! The trapped dragon array is the upper layer, the siege is the middle layer, and the secret room under the hotel is the lower layer, which must be pushed layer by layer to open. And now that the upper layer is destroyed, the air pressure in the middle layer is not flowing, and there is no strength to make the stone door below open again. As for the stone gates on the other two sides, they are only gates of confusion because they are behind the walls.

Thinking back to the first time Gu Xi's color change took me to run wild, I am afraid that he will realize that he has made a mistake, and sense that the air is flowing, knowing that we will never be able to get out if we are one step too late. So this time, Xie Fu and his son and Lao Xie Tou are afraid that they will really be trapped forever, even if they do not die of excessive blood loss, they will die of lack of water and food in a few days.

And the culprit who triggered these is Xie Fu, who harms others and ultimately harms himself, is this really called providence?

At this point, I have nothing more to say.

It's a fact, and there's no need to dwell on it anymore, I don't eat or sleep for a day and a night, I'm hungry and tired. Thinking that Gu Xi had gone out the night before, he must have been more tired than me, so he proposed that he freshen up first, while I went down to find something to eat and came back.

Seeing that he seemed to think for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

When I went downstairs, I saw that Xie Xiaoqin had already come out, sweating profusely and holding a broom to clean up the debris. When he saw me, he asked eagerly, "Sister Yuan, do you need to clean your upstairs room?" I shook my head: "No need. ”

Although there was a shaking just now, after all, the equipment was rudimentary, and there was nothing to damage, only an ashtray was missing a corner.

"You get busy first, I'll go out and find something to eat." After saying hello and walking to the door, Xie Xiaoqin may still have palpitations, and her eyes are still fixed on me, and she seems to be half a beat slow to react.
