Speaking of this, Liang Houzai paused for a moment, and then said to me: "If I'm not mistaken, after the bone whip appeared in that stone room, he hasn't taken the initiative to attack the next Dan Great Witch, right?" ”

Wu Lin and I glanced at each other, and nodded at Liang Houzai at the same time: "It's really not." ”

Liang Houzai: "Well, Renqing doesn't kill the next Dan Great Witch, which may mean that the Second Dan Great Witch is the key to his entry into the tomb." And what he is doing now seems to be to accumulate the capital to fight with us, and he wants to snatch the next Dan Dawu from us. ”

Wu Lin frowned: "This statement seems to be very reasonable, but you have ignored a very important issue. That is, before I became acquainted with the Great Witch of the Second Dan, before Zuo Youdao came to this place, Renqing had been lurking beside the Great Witch of the Second Dan. If he wanted to control the next Dan Great Witch, he would have been able to do it a long time ago, but did he have to wait until now? ”

Liang Houzai didn't like to talk to strangers, so he turned to me and asked me, "Brother Dao, have you thought about it, why did Renqing refine the capital in the village into evil corpses, and what does this have to do with his search for the tomb?" ”

I said, "I've thought about it, but I don't have a clue." ”

Liang Houzai asked Wu Lin again: "Is the next Dan Dawu also a member of the royal family?" ”

Wu Lin briefly communicated with the next Dan Dawu for a while, and before he could answer Liang Houzai's question, Min Du gave the answer on the side: "No." ”

Liang Houzai also skipped Wu Lin and asked Mindu directly: "What is the bloodline of Dawu?" ”

Mindu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The past generations and the Minhe and the previous generations of great witches all come from the bloodline of the first generation of great witches, so let's put it this way, I, Jidan Great Witch, Cangjia, and the survivors who have hid in Rhino Spring, all have the bloodline of the first generation of great witches. ”

Liang Houzai: "Can I understand it this way, since the disaster broke out, the people with the bloodline of the first generation of Great Witches, as well as the people of the royal family, have not become evil corpses, except for the two heads. ”

Sensitivity thought for a moment, then finally nodded.

Liang Houzai said to me again: "Renqing refining living corpses, you must not be able to refine them one by one, that would be too time-consuming. His corpse refining techniques are indiscriminate, that is, he casts spells on everyone at the same time, but only those with these two bloodlines on their bodies have not been hit. ”

I nodded: "In other words, Renqing's refining of the living corpse is actually a big wave of sand." He had to pick out the one he needed from among those who had not become evil corpses. ”

"That's what it means," Liang Houzai said, "Renqing must have known a long time ago that if he wanted to enter the Great Tomb, he had to use the bloodline of the first great witch. But the first group of people who formed this village have been breeding here for thousands of years, except for Mindu, I'm afraid no one can be sure that those people have the blood of the first generation of great witches, and presumably the title of great witches is not hereditary, right? ”

Sensitivity: "Each generation of great witches is chosen by the toast, and it is indeed not hereditary. ”

Thinking about it, if the title of the Great Witch is hereditary, Renqing can easily conclude that the Second Dan Great Witch has the bloodline of the first Great Witch.

Wu Lin was probably whetted by Liang Houzai, and interjected and asked, "Why does Sensitivity know?" ”

Liang Houzai: "When I first went to Xiaotianshan, I noticed that there was an ancient book written in the form of a genealogy tree, and I suspected that the book was actually the genealogy of the whole village. Now that you have a genealogy in hand, of course you know who are the descendants of the first great witches. ”

Sensitivity immediately confirmed Liang Houzai's statement: "There are indeed several genealogies on the side of Xiaotianshan. ”

Liang Houzai continued: "As long as we are sure that no matter what Renqing does, it is to find the tomb, and many things can be speculated. ”

I asked Liang Houzai: "Then how can you be sure that the key to Renqing's entry into the tomb is the next Dan Dawu, not Min Du or others?" ”

"I also inferred from what Renqing did recently, but I don't know how he learned about it," Liang said. I think that if Renqing hadn't seen that there was someone in the village who had a higher cultivation level than him, he would suddenly decide to take action against the next Dan Dawu for fear that the current situation in his favor would be uncertain. That is, he only recently learned that the next Dan Dawu was the person he was looking for, but the question was through what channel did he know about it? ”

I waved my hand, "None of this matters. How sure are you now? ”

Liang Houzai was puzzled: "What is so sure?" ”

I said, "You're pretty sure of your own inferences." ”

Liang Houzai thought for a while and said, "Renqing's goal is the Second Dan Great Witch, and he will not endanger the life of the Second Dan Great Witch, at least until he finishes using the Second Dan Great Witch, he will not." I'm pretty much 100 percent sure of that. But I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of his rework of the Bone Whip was at this point. ”

I leaned against the windowsill with my hands folded, and let out a long breath from my nose.

Now that Renqing has a new bone whip in his hand, things have become quite troublesome.

After a while, Liang Houzai said to me again: "We must get the next Dan Great Witch to a closed place, a place where the bone whip can't enter." ”

I frowned: "This is too passive, in fact, we have another way to go." As long as we find the tomb one step ahead of Renqing, we are not afraid that he will not come out. ”

Liang Houzai smacked his tongue: "It's not that easy." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "You say, could the tomb be under the altar?" ”

Liang Houzai pondered for a while before responding to me: "I'm not sure, although it's indeed a little weird on the altar, but I've seen it on the small building, and there is dry land within a radius of a few miles, and there is no water at all, so the cloth-silverfish won't appear there anymore." ”

"Maybe there's an underground river vein." When I said that, I felt that this statement was unreliable.

The river veins are underground, and the cloth silverfish is also underground, so how did Toast get those fish meat? If the river veins extend all the way to the surface, Luo Zhongxing could have followed the river veins to find the tomb last time he came, so why wait so long?

Renqing needs the bloodline of the first great witch to enter the tomb, does Luo Zhongxing also need it? With his ability, is it needed?

Liang Houzai also pursed his mouth and shook his head when he heard my words, and I asked Mindu instead: "Where did Toast get those fish meats?" ”

Min: "I just came back, so I don't know about it." ”

There was still a bit of dreak in his tone when he spoke, and it was clear that he hadn't recovered from Toast's death.

Liang Houzai said to Mindu: "Isn't that Ma Ci the cook of Toast, he must know where the fish and meat come from." ”

As if he wanted to avoid a few of us in the morning, Mindu hurriedly said, "I'll ask him," and hurried downstairs.

Wu Lin watched Min disappear at the entrance of the corridor before turning his head and asking me, "What's next?" ”

I said: "If we can get the news of the tomb, let's find the tomb first, if we can't get it, I will go back to the small building with you, let's guard the next Dan Dawu, and let Liang Houzai and them guard the villagers here." ”

Wu Lin didn't speak, he leaned his back against the wall and silently lit a cigarette.

About half an hour later, Mindu came back, but the news he brought back made everyone present frown, he asked Ma Ci where those cloth silverfish came from, but Ma Ci said that the person who fished was Renqing, except for Renqing, no one knew where the cloth silverfish came from.

It seems that the matter of finding a grave is really at a loss.

I was so similar in my heart, so I heard Liang Houzai ask Mindu: "What is your altar for, is the Great Witch worshipping the heavens in that place?" ”

Mindu shook his head: "There is no custom of worshipping the heavens in the village, and that altar was originally built to suppress ghosts. ”

"Ghost town? What's going on, let's hear it. I raised my chin at Mindu.

Mindu said: "Legend has it that in the early years, as soon as the fifteenth day of the seventh month of each year, a large number of dead people came out of the white soil on the side of the altar. ”

Liu Shangang, who was on the side, interjected and asked, "How to deal with it?" ”

Mindu responded: "Legend has it that the dead only moved at night, and when the sun rose the next day, they were all lying on the ground, and Tusi ordered the villagers to pick up the corpses and burn them in one fire. It wasn't until the 10th Great Witch was in charge of the village sacrifices that he felt that it was not a way to go on like this, so he summoned the mountain god and built an altar there. ”

"The ...... of the Tenth Great Witch" Liang Houzai looked at the Great Witch of the Second Dan and said: "If it is calculated that the reign of each Great Witch has been in the past twenty to thirty years, in the period of two or three hundred years, there will be dead people crawling out of the ground every year, how many times will they climb out each time?" Listen to what you mean, the altar was built by the mountain god? ”

Min answered Liang Houzai's questions one by one: "According to the records in the classics, the average reign of each great witch is about thirty years. It is also recorded in ancient books that at least 100 dead people crawl out of the ground every time, and 300 years is 30,000. In the early days, the great witch in the village could drive the mountain god, and the mountain god at that time was also called the great witch's envoy, but after the altar was established, the connection between the mountain god and the great witch seemed to be severed by some force, and after that, the great witch could no longer drive the mountain god. ”

Liang Houzai continued: "But Tusi can summon the mountain god through the altar. Also, you said that the altar used to be a white earth, but why is it now a normal earth color? ”

Mindu said: "The color of the soil also changed after the altar was established, and this information can be found in the ancient books of the Xiaotian Mountains. ”

Liang Houzai nodded, and asked again: "Was the altar built by the mountain god?" If there is no help from others, with the power of the Great Witch, it can really suppress the things buried deep underground? What's under the altar? Didn't you say that you were suppressing ghosts, but it was only the evil corpses that were suppressed for a long time, how can this be explained? ”

A series of questions made Mindu frown tightly: "What you asked is not recorded in ancient books. ”

"There can't be a record," Liang Houzai said with his hands folded, "Even if there is no tomb under the altar, there must be other secrets buried, but the question is how to unearth those secrets, and dig them up directly?" ”

Today, Liang Houzai doesn't know what's wrong, every time he says something, the final end is full of twists and turns.

I said, "It's definitely not possible to dig directly, it's too much of a movement." What do you think is the chance that there is a large tomb under the altar? ”

Liang Houzai: "It's big. ”

I rubbed my left temple: "It's too time-consuming to dig through the altar directly, and it's too risky to mobilize the villagers to dig together." No, let's guard the next day first, and see what kind of movement Renqing will have next. ”

Liang Houzai sighed: "It seems that this is the only way." ”

After that, I asked Liang Houzai and them to stay in the warehouse to assist Mindu, and together with Wu Lin, I carefully escorted the next Dan Dawu back to the small building.

Along the way, the next Dan Dawu kept trying to communicate with Wu Lin, but he said a lot to Wu Lin, and Wu Lin didn't make any response.
