Chapter 515: Spitfire
"Xiao Yan, what is a ghost sacrifice?" Hearing this, I hurriedly asked. At this time, I saw that the handmaid paper figures at the top of the altar were stacked on top of each other, and they were not as mobile as before, giving people the impression that they were no different from ordinary paper figures.
"The so-called sacrifice to ghosts is actually the meaning of sacrificing ghosts and gods, and such customs were common in ancient times." Li Huiyan said.
"So that's the case, then according to your words, this altar should be sacrificed to the nine paper figures, right?" I said.
In my opinion, since the nine handmaidens are at the top of the altar, they are most likely what the owner of the tomb wants to sacrifice.
It is impossible that the owner of the tomb wants to sacrifice to the real ghosts and gods, which seems a little unreasonable.
"No, those nine paper figures are the same as these things, they are all sacrifices for ghosts and gods." Li Huiyan glanced at the trays not far away, shook her head and said.
"Those paper figurines are also sacrifices? This ...... "I don't know what to say anymore." It was also a sacrifice, and it was a little strange that those paper figures actually walked to this altar with other sacrifices, and at the same time climbed to the top of the altar themselves.
But since Li Huiyan said so, then she must have seen the relevant records, after all, Li Huiyan is not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense.
"So what should we do now, should we kowtow to this altar a few times?" I asked.
"Let's take a look first, these people happened to appear when we were about to come here, most likely it was not a coincidence, but someone deliberately arranged it." Li Huiyan thought for a while and said.
"Who could have arranged that, there wouldn't be anyone else in this tomb besides us, right?" Hearing this, I was taken aback and said.
"I can't tell you about this, but if it's unexpected, it should be the owner of the tomb. Maybe it's all just a mechanism that's been designed for a long time, and we just happened to accidentally touch it at some point, so we saw these things. Li Huiyan said.
"Okay, let's take a look first." I nodded. You don't have to think about it to know that it is certainly not a coincidence that these paper figures appeared when we were just about to climb over the reincarnation stone.
The owner of the tomb, who has been dead for more than a thousand years, arranged this scene for us, and I don't know why, no one dares to act rashly until we figure it all out.
Worried about the danger of getting too close to the altar, we finally discussed it and decided to take a few steps back.
Anyway, as long as you stand more than ten meters away from the altar, you can still see everything on the altar, and you don't have to worry about danger.
Inadvertently, I glanced at the tomb robbers not far away. I saw that Lei Ge took out the small bottle and brush from before, and began to draw the talisman on the giant's body.
And the Gu cultivator also took out a few small square boxes from his body, and was biting his fingers, dripping his own blood into them.
The strange behavior of these two men immediately caught my attention, and I immediately took a sneaky observation. Unlike before, this time the runes drawn by Brother Lei were much more complicated than any other time, and I felt dizzy after only a few glances, and I couldn't tell what kind of runes he was drawing.
It can be guessed that Lei Ge must have his intentions in doing this, most likely because he wants to control the giant more practically, so that the giant will not suddenly break free from his control at some point.
As for what the Gu keeper did, after seeing his behavior, I could guess that he was feeding some Gu worms that he was carrying.
Seeing this scene, the danger level of that Gu cultivator in my heart also increased a lot. Originally, I thought that the Gu cultivator only had the Golden Thread Gu on his body, but he didn't expect that there were other Gu worms hidden, and if there was a conflict for a while, I was afraid that he would be much more troublesome than Brother Lei, who controlled the giant.
"Xiao Yan, you try to stay away from those tomb robbers for a while." I whispered in Li Huiyan's ear.
"Well, I understand." Li Huiyan nodded and said. Minutes and seconds passed, and after about four or five minutes, the direction of the altar was still quiet, and nothing happened.
I muttered to myself, could it be that our guess was wrong, this altar is not actually dangerous.
But when I saw the paper figures on the top of the altar and the offerings in front of the altar, I always felt that there was something wrong with the altar, but I couldn't say what the problem was.
"Sister Lizi, I'm hungry, how long will I have to wait to get out of here?" Xiao Yue walked over, yawned and asked Li Huiyan.
At this time, Xiao Yue's two eyes had slight dark circles, and the eyes that were originally quite big had also narrowed into a slit at this time, giving people a feeling that they might fall asleep at any time.
"It should be soon, we are all in the tenth tomb now, and it won't be long before we can get out." Li Huiyan comforted.
Despite this, I can still see the worry between Li Huiyan's eyebrows. Presumably Li Huiyan is also very clear that it may not be so easy for us to leave this ancient tomb.
"Why don't you eat the fruit in front of the altar, maybe you'll live forever after eating." I said to Xiao Yue.
"Phew, those things are so ugly, why don't you eat them?" Xiao Yue rolled her eyes and said.
"I didn't say I'm hungry, it's that you want to eat, and although those things look ugly, you can taste them first." I said with a smile.
"Don't, eat yourself." Xiao Yue snorted. I didn't say anything more, at this time, it is better to try to save physical strength than the price, and if you can say less than a word, you can say a word less, maybe you can insist a little more.
After all, no one knows when they will be able to leave this ancient tomb, Li Huiyan doesn't know, and I don't know either.
Although we are now in the tenth tomb, and we have reached the core of the tenth tomb, it does not mean that we can really leave here.
Not to mention whether we will encounter any dangerous mechanisms in the tomb in the future, those tomb robbers alone are the biggest obstacle for us to leave the tomb.
You don't have to think about it to know that once we get the corpse bell and the Gu cultivation note, those tomb robbers will definitely attack us, and it is inevitable that one side will be wiped out at that time.
These people are tomb robbers after all, and the place they are in now is a dark tomb, and even if they do kill us, no one will know.
Our current partnership with the grave robbers is only temporary, and it is impossible to save their lives.
What's more, I had promised Mrs. Ghost before that once I found the corpse bell, I would help her destroy it immediately, so conflicts with these tomb robbers were inevitable.
After another four or five minutes, Lei Ge and the Gu Cultivator stopped their movements almost at the same time.
Lei Ge put away his brush and small bottle, and the Gu cultivator also put away the small square boxes containing Gu worms.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the direction of the altar. The sound sounded a lot like a gust of wind, and at the same time it sounded a little like a woman crying in a low voice, and it felt a little erratic.
At first I heard the sound coming from the direction of the altar, but after a few seconds, it seemed to come from somewhere else.
In less than half a minute, the direction of the strange sound changed at least four times, and at last I didn't bother to listen to where it came from.
"Xiao Yan, this altar doesn't seem to be in any danger, why don't we go up and have a look, maybe we can get something." I hesitated for a moment and said to Li Huiyan.
"I don't agree with your proposal, it's a bit too risky." Li Huiyan shook her head and said.
"But if there's anything useful to me on the altar, wouldn't I miss it if I didn't go up and see it?" I said.
Of course I knew it was dangerous to venture near the altar, but if we didn't, we wouldn't know what was on it.
I don't know why, but I always felt that there was something very important at the top of the altar, and not just the paper figures.
"I don't know this, but I still don't want you to go up and take risks, it's at this time, more is better than less, try not to get yourself into trouble." Li Huiyan said again.
"I can go faster, just go up and take a look and come down, and there shouldn't be any danger." I said.
I've been such a person since I was a child, and it's hard to change my mind when I think about something, and if I don't do it, I'll always feel uncomfortable.
As he spoke, the tomb robber named Lei Ge walked quickly to the place where Li Huiyan and I were standing.
"Brother Lei, is there something to do with us?" I asked quietly.
"Well, we just discussed it and thought there might be something on this altar, so we decided to find someone to go up and have a look." Brother Lei nodded and said.
"That'...... Or I'll go and see it. I said. When I heard what Brother Lei said, I already understood his purpose, didn't he just want me to go up to the altar to have a look.
Rather than let them speak for themselves, I should volunteer, and make a good impression on the hearts of these grave robbers, lest they be on the lookout for us at all times.
Anyway, I also mentioned to Li Huiyan just now that I wanted to go to the altar to have a look, and now that these tomb robbers have the same idea, Li Huiyan can't persuade me anymore.
"If you're willing to go up, that's great." Lei Ge said. I didn't say anything more and walked straight in the direction of the altar.
"Zhang three years, pay attention to safety." Li Huiyan admonished behind her back.
"yes, I know." I turned my head and replied. The altar is almost ten meters high, and there is a stone staircase on each side that leads to the top, so I easily reached the top of the altar.
