The incident happened suddenly, but fortunately, Chongning reacted quickly and hurriedly dodged over.

In Lao Liutou's hand, there was a knife, which was bright and dazzling.

Chongning's face turned cold, "You, what are you going to do?" ”

"I want your life!" Old Liu Tou screamed, and the knife stabbed Chongning in the shoulder.

Chongning was strong and strong, so naturally he would not sit still, he moved his backhand and blocked the attack stubbornly.

With a click, Lao Liu's arm made a broken sound.

Everything was too fast, Chongning didn't see it clearly, he only felt a warmth in his hands.

He looked down and was greatly surprised, only to see that the dagger had already pierced Lao Liu's chest.

Blood splattered and spilled all over the ground.

Duan Jingzhi also panicked and screamed.

When.

The wooden door opened, and two guards barged in, shouting.

Their words are all in Gumo, and they can't understand them at all.

There was a grunt, probably questioning what was going on.

Chongning spread his hands and said, "I don't know, he, it's him, suddenly wants to kill me." I'm in self-defense, and that's it! ”

I don't know if the Gumer guards understood this comparison.

The old Liu Tou on the ground was convulsed for a while, blood kept flowing, and his face was pale.

The part of the knife is the chest, near the heart.

This dagger was extremely sharp, and the entire blade stabbed into it.

Old Liu Tou obviously can't live.

Although it is said that he deserves it, he is looking for death.

However, after all, it still feels a little bad to die in the hands of Chongning.

Gu Mo was on the side, grunting for a while, and dragged Lao Liu's body out.

"How strange is that, the old man died like this?"

Duan Jingzhi was stunned for a moment, feeling incredible.

Before, Lao Liu Tou was still alive, and suddenly turned into a dead corpse.

Chongning also felt strange, all this came too suddenly, and he didn't react.

After two or three hours, the young woman walked in.

Her face was ugly, and she said, "The high priest has already spoken, and he wants to offer you two to the stone god." ”

Chongning asked, "How to make offerings?" ”

The young woman's eyes moved, and she said, "There are three steps to worship the stone god. ”

"First tied to a boulder and exposed to the sun for three days. Then, peel off the skin, place it on a stone, and continue to expose it to the sun. Finally, all the dried body bones, skin and flesh were burned and sacrificed to the stone god. ”

Chongning listened, it was a burst of scalp tingling.

The scorching sun, let alone three days of exposure, is a day's time, which can kill people.

Duan Jingzhi was also frightened by the cruel sacrificial method, and she didn't dare to speak.

"So, is there any way to survive then?" Her eyelids blinked, and she asked quietly.

The young woman said, "Yes." ”

Duan Jingzhi hurriedly asked, "What?" ”

The young woman's eyes flashed, and she said, "Hand over the Divine Stone." ”

Chong Ning was in trouble and said, "The two of us really don't know what the divine stone is, it is estimated that it is the ghost of that old Liu Tou." Only he knows! ”

The young woman's face turned cold, and she said, "I sincerely want to help you two, that old man is dead, so you just push everything on him, right?" ”

Chongning was really speechless and sighed.

The young woman looked at the two of them and said, "Give you another half an hour, and if you don't explain, there is nothing I can do." ”

With that, she left the stone house.

Inside the stone house, there was silence.

Duan Jingzhi's heart was very flustered, and when she thought of the brutal sacrifice, her heart became furious.

"Brother Ning, what should I do?"

Chongning tried his best to calm himself down, carefully analyzing the entire context.

According to Lao Liutou's clues, coupled with what the Gumo people said, some truths can be roughly deduced.

After Lao Liu Tou stole the jade seal, he met Lu Pingliu, who was tracking, and then ran into the Gumo community.

Lu Pingliu broke out of the siege and disappeared with the jade seal.

Old Liu Tou was taken back to the village by the Gumo people, and he managed to escape and steal their treasure Divine Stone at the same time.

In the end, he was captured by the Gumers, but the sacred stone on his body was missing.

At this time, Chongning and Duan Jingzhi broke in by mistake and were accused of being accomplices.

At this moment, Lao Liu Tou died unexpectedly.

The Gu Mo people attributed all the things of the Divine Stone to Chongning and Duan Jingzhi.

Chongning always felt that this was very strange.

Especially the death of Lao Liu Tou.

With his eyes closed, he lay on his side by the stone wall and meditated for a long time.

"I see."

As he spoke, Chongning suddenly got up, his eyes full of light.

Duan Jingzhi looked at him in surprise and hurriedly asked, "Brother Ning, what do you know?" ”

Bang dang.

The wooden door opened, and the young woman and young man walked straight in.

The man was very rude and said directly: "Tie it up and prepare for the sacrifice!" ”

As he spoke, the Gumer guard next to him walked up and was about to tie up the two.

Chongning struggled and said, "What about that old Liu? ”

The young man said coldly, "He died a long time ago. ”

Chongning said, "I mean, what about his body? ”

The young man said in a cold voice: "I have been throwing it in the sand for more than an hour, and I am afraid that it will already become jerky." Wait, you're going to end up the same way. ”

Chongning said: "He shouldn't be dead, you go and see, his body, is it still there?" ”

The young man frowned slightly and said, "What did you say?" ”

Chongning said again, "He's not dead. ”

The young woman was also stunned, and said puzzledly: "How is it possible? He was stabbed to death by you. ”

Duan Jingzhi's face was also puzzled, "Brother Ning, what did you say?" He's not dead? ”

"But I saw ......"

The blood on the ground is still in the stone house.

Old Liu Tou was in full view of everyone, and the dagger was stabbed into his heart, obviously dead.

The young man snorted coldly and said, "Are you buying time for yourself?" It doesn't make sense, you're both going to have to die sooner or later, stop playing tricks. ”

As he spoke, the Gumo people next to him tied up Chongning.

Chongning said while struggling: "You go to the place where the body was lost, take a look, and it will be clear." ”

The young woman's eyes sparkled, and she muttered a few words to the Gumo man next to her.

A Gumo guard walked out of the stone house.

The young man said, "Dolma, what do you believe in him?" ”

The young woman said, "Langjie, go and take a look, you won't waste much time." ”

Lang Jie said coldly, "No matter what, both of them have to die, and this is too much." ”

The young man's lips said this, but it didn't stop the Gumer guards from going to check it out.

After a while, the Gumer guard rushed back, his face a little startled.

He muttered a few words, and the expressions of Zhuoma and Langjie changed.

Chongning said: "I'm right, is the body gone?" ”

Lang Jie asked, "What the hell are you guys doing!" Where is he? ”

Sure enough, Chongning didn't guess wrong. Old Liu Tou didn't die!

Dolma also asked, "Tell me in detail, what's going on?" ”

Chongning groaned, got rid of the shackles of the guards, coughed lightly and said: "First of all, let me state that Lao Liu Tou and I were originally a team, but it was only temporarily formed, he is just our guide, that's all. ”

"In the desert, he took away our cargo, and took half of the water and food with him, and nearly wiped out our caravan."

The reason why Chongning said this was to make them believe that Lao Liu Tou was a scheming and insatiable thief.

"He met you after we got separated. As far as I can guess, he stole your precious Divine Stone. ”

"However, that divine stone, he didn't put it on his body, but hid it."

"So, when you caught him, you found nothing."

Dolma said: "Indeed, there is nothing in him. I've always thought that in the accomplices, that is, with you. ”

Chongning shook his head and said with a wry smile: "We are really not accomplices, and besides, we have nothing on us. ”

Lang Jie was stunned, "Where is the Divine Stone?" ”

Chongning said: "Old Liu Tou is scheming, and he is an old Jianghu, with many strange doorways. ”

"In the stone house, he pretended to attack me in order to create the illusion of his accidental and tragic death, and then the golden cicada came out of its shell."

"As long as he dies, the whole thing has nothing to do with him. All the suspicions also fell on the two of us, and we couldn't argue. ”

Dolma groaned and said, "You mean, he faked his death?" The blood and the knife at that time were all real. ”

Chongning shook his head and said: "The rivers and lakes are treacherous, there is everything, the ancient method of color life, illusion, and Luban technique, all of which can create a state of suspended animation. ”

"His body is not there, he must have slipped away. Perhaps, he has retrieved the hidden Divine Stone and is leaving the desert. ”

Zhuoma and Lang Jie were both shocked, and this divine stone was of great significance to the Gumo people.

This sacred stone, which has been passed down in their tribe for thousands of years, has always been a sacred existence.

If the Divine Stone leaves the desert and ends up in the market, or even goes overseas, it will never be recovered.

Zhuoma hurriedly said: "Send someone to find it!" ”

Lang Jie will be skeptical, "I can't believe all the words of these two people. Besides, the high priest had indicated that they would be worshipped, and even if they were true, they would have to die! ”

Chongning was stunned, but he didn't expect that he would have to die no matter what.

Duan Jingzhi's expression was ugly, "The Divine Stone has nothing to do with us, we still have to die?" ”

Lang Jie's attitude was respectful, "The high priest is the human messenger of our ancient stone god, and the sudden evil disease of the patriarch is caused by you. ”

"Therefore, only by offering the two of you to the stone god will you be forgiven, and the patriarch's evil illness can be recovered."

Dolma's expression was also ugly, and he made a strange gesture to the sky in the distance to show his faith.

Chongning frowned slightly, "What is the patriarch's disease?" ”

Duan Jingzhi hurriedly said: "I brought some medicines, and we also have a companion who is a well-known Taoist doctor, maybe he can help your patriarch see a doctor!" ”

Lang Jie said sharply: "How can the patriarch's golden body be something you can touch. You two are waiting to be enshrined! ”

After that, he will be gone!

Some people died, but not completely......
