Li Yewu didn't know that Xiao regarded her as a ghost, and was studying how to broaden her horizons at this time.

Xiao Jiuxi silently retracted his mind, and then looked up at the surroundings, and could vaguely see the location of the torch stand: "Or, light all the torches, what do you think?"

"Playing so big?" Li Yewu raised his eyebrows.

"Can't you see clearly, you can ...... it when you light the torch?"

"Giggle......

Xiao Jiuxi was still talking, and suddenly there was a giggling sneer in his ears again.

Unlike the last time, when he felt far away, this time it was so close that it was almost in his ears.

Xiao Jiuxi reflexively threw the torch over, and in the bright light of the fire, a two-finger-thick gecko was thrown to the ground.

It shyly clucked and clucked weakly before stopping.

「！」

This change came too quickly, and Li Yewu was stunned.

It took a long time to reflect, and it turned out to be ...... It turned out that the weird laughter that scared them half to death just now was actually made by this gecko?

"This ...... This gecko is also very big." Li Yewu couldn't help but rub the goosebumps on his body: ", I was scared to death by it just now, it turned out that it wasn't the ghost king, it was a gecko!"

Looking at the gecko, Xiao Jiuxi's heart calmed down a little, and he began to be complacent about his wisdom and martial arts.

"I'll just say where are there so many cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in this world, just scare yourself."

"You're not scared?" Li Yewu's eyes were about to turn to the sky.

"I'm fine, not like someone who jumped into my arms and shivered."

Just when Xiao Jiuxi was beaming proudly, there was another sound in the depths of the pond, that is, in the direction they came from.

Xiao Jiuxi immediately put away the gag, squinted slightly and carefully identified it.

Soon, he put the torch into the waterhole and extinguished it, and then jumped directly onto the relief of the rock wall with Li Yewu's thin waist.

It didn't take long for the torches on the wall to burn one after the other.

Only then did Li Yewu discover that the torches of the ancients could still be connected, as long as one was lit, the others would be gradually ignited.

This semi-automatic device is simply magical.

After the amazement, she also became alert, these torches would definitely not light up for no reason.

Just as Li Yewu's brain was spinning rapidly, Xiao Jiuxi was puzzled, "Someone is coming, don't squeak."

Someone?

Li Yewu was stunned, isn't this a forbidden place that no one cares about? How could anyone?

Could it be that they found Erge?

Not right either.

Erge: They definitely won't know where the fire is lit.

Li Yewu secretly poked his head out and looked down by the firelight.

The brightly lit waterhole and the black-lit waterhole are completely different.

It was as if they were walking on the edge of an ancient tomb, and they had no idea of life and death in front of them.

And now, with the lights, the mysterious and eerie waterhole has become ordinary.

I saw that this waterhole was very huge, and the further forward it was, the smaller it became, like a gourd.

The three places with copper pillars are very uniform and symmetrical in the left, middle and right positions of the gourd's belly.

They thought there would be an altar or something in the middle of the pool, but when the lights came on, they realized that the whole lake was empty.

Just as the two of them were secretly looking around, someone finally slowly appeared.

Li Yewu took a closer look, never expected that it would be him!

I saw about twenty people coming below, these people were dressed in black, and there were many strange totems painted on their faces.

However, even with this appearance, Li Yewu still recognized that one of the leaders was the head of the Xu family, one of the four major families.

The head of the Xu family is mainly engaged in the grocery business, which is relatively low-key among the four major families, and he himself is relatively taciturn.

The intersection between the head of the Xu family and Li Yewu was in addition to a few meetings of the head of the family, and the only intersection was that she was looking for bottles and cans

, the head of the Xu family accompanied Zicui overnight and sent it over.

Speaking of which, she felt a little strange at that time, although she was a "princess", she just asked for a few bottles and cans, and she didn't buy out the grocery store, so there was no need for the head of the Xu family to send it over in person, right?

And looking at it now, I'm afraid that the head of the Xu family at that time was already drunk, and he didn't want to drink, but wanted to come over to find out the news.

It is said that the four major families have their own forces behind them, Li Yewu still wants to wait for the development of towns and then slowly rectify these monopoly industries, he never thought that he would have a handle to grasp so soon, of course Li Yewu will not let go of this opportunity.

She peeked secretly with interest, fortunately, the hiding corner chosen by Xiao Jiuxi belonged to the blind spot of vision, and the fire could not shine, as long as she didn't pay special attention, she couldn't see that there was anyone here at all.

At least at this time, the head of the Xu family never expected that there would be people in the forbidden area, and he hid on the candle dragon.

They came to the altar with great familiarity, and first they recited a bunch of incantations in the middle of the pool, and then six of them walked to the six bronze pillars.

They took out a small stone lion from their sleeves and put it on top of the copper pillar, and then the six of them turned the lion's head clockwise at the same time, and the copper pillar obediently rotated like a small screw on a wrench.

With a "click, click, click", the calm water began to shake, and after a while, there was a muffled "boom", and the stone platform hidden in the middle of the lake slowly emerged.

It sprung up higher and higher, and when it came to the surface, three suspension bridges appeared.

It is exactly connected to these three copper pillars.

Li Yewu was shocked, it turned out that the pillar was really a bridge, and the bridge was hidden under the water, and when the mechanism was opened, the altar at the bottom of the lake rose up, and the bridge naturally appeared.

This altar is a square of about ten square meters, and there is a circle of totems on the square, which forms a square and round feng shui pattern with this square platform.

Li Yewu squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, and the circle seemed to be words.

She was about to take a closer look, Xiao Jiuxi silently reached out and pressed her head back, and glanced at her silently, implying that she wanted to be exposed?

Li Yewu reacted, and he cared about it, so he almost leaned out half of his body.

With Xiao Jiuxi's reminder, Li Yewu restrained a lot and consciously retracted his body.

In this way, the two quietly watched the head of the Xu family and the two old men walk along the bridge to the high platform.

After they stood still, the head of the Xu family took the lead in walking to those text totems, taking two steps forward and three steps back, and they thought he was dancing the gods.

Li Yewu couldn't help but think, what kind of cult did this Xu family master join, why did he come here to toss in a good manner, what is the point?

However, her doubts were destined to go unanswered.

I don't know how long it took, the head of the Xu family stopped while wiping his sweat, and when he stopped, the altar changed again, and a stone table slowly rose in the middle of the altar.

There are also some small stone carvings on the stone table, and those stone carvings are dotted around, and I don't know if it's a formation or what.
