The clay sculpture on the altar looks the same as that of the sacrificer.

When the villagers saw the clay sculptures, they were like seeing the treasures of the world, and they became crazy, "The real body of the sacrificer turned into a clay sculpture, and it was the night god who took them away!" ”

Everyone was excited, "May the gods bless our village with peace and prosperity, bless the farmland with a bumper harvest, bless the children with no worries, and bless the big guys with good business!" ”

The villagers kowtowed vigorously, and some even broke their foreheads, still fanatical.

The Great Wizard walked in the fire, and when the drums trembled the most, the smoke in the night sky condensed into shape, and it was actually the appearance of the gods.

"The night god comes, we sincerely serve the will of God, and hope that God will bless you!" The village chief came to the front of the crowd at some point, and he took the lead in prostrate and gave the highest salute.

"God blesses me!" The villagers fell to the ground with their hands folded.

The flames receded, and the great wizard dissipated with the fog, leaving only the five clay statues sitting on the altar, which the militia respectfully removed and placed in the sacrificial hall on the top of the mountain.

The villagers bow in the direction of the worship hall.

As the smoke cleared and the altar ceremony ended, the village chief ordered the excited villagers to be brought back to the village.

Qin Huan and the three of them glanced at each other, they had been in the corner of the crowd, and in the night, the figures of the three disappeared.

The last militia left, and the altar was empty and silent.

After the ancient tree, Qin Huan probed to make sure it was safe, and the three of them took off their disguised faces and walked back to the altar.

Not far away, there were militiamen stationed at the sacrificial hall, who did not light torches, and observed the surrounding signs by the moonlight.

Shi Yi stood on the altar, stepped on the ground hard, and exclaimed, "Six big living people, they really disappeared without a trace!" ”

The altar had not been cleaned yet, and there were traces of burning oil on it, Qin Huan touched the black marks on the ground with his hand, confirming that the fire was a real flame, not a low-temperature phosphorus fire.

"There are people who can dance in the fire, even I have to wonder if there really is a god in the world." But she shook her head, there are no gods and ghosts in the world, no matter how strange the scene, there must be a source to be found.

Shi Beiyan stretched out his hand to pull her up, the hem of her clothes swayed, and Shi Beiyan suddenly thought of something.

"The Chronicles of Foreign Bodies" once recorded that the state of Si Diao was in Huozhou, in the South China Sea. There are wildfires on it, which grow by themselves in spring and summer, and die in autumn and winter. There are trees born in it and do not disappear, the branches and bark are more alive, and the fire dies in autumn and winter. Its custom is often picked in winter to take its skin as cloth, and the color is small and blue-black; If the dirt is dirty, it will be thrown into the fire, and it will be more distinct. ”

He said a lot, Qin Huan and Shi Yi blinked at the same time, "What...... What does it mean? ”

Shi Beiyan glanced at the two of them, and the look in his eyes was self-evident, "There is a kind of bark of a tree on the Huozhou of the Si Diao Country, which can resist the flames, and the cloth made of it is called Huohuan cloth, which is made of clothing, and it is bright and non-combustible when it encounters fire." ”

Qin Huan opened his mouth wide, "I have never heard of such a magical cloth." ”

Shi Yi nodded in agreement.

Shi Beiyan only guessed, "The country of Si Diao is a small country for hundreds of years, and the fire cloth has long been a rumor, and I have only seen it in the book, the clothes on the big wizard's body are heavy, and they don't burn when they are fired, I guess this cloth may be used." ”

There really is a cloth in the world that is not afraid of fire, since there are traces to follow, Qin Huan was relieved, "It doesn't matter whether he uses fire or not, he is opportunistic, and he is definitely not a god." ”

Shi Yi then nodded, "I agree." ”

However, the Priest and the High Wizard did disappear into thin air.

The three of them gathered around the altar to observe, Qin Huan knocked on the altar, the sound was very solid, there was no dark partition below, Shi Yi lifted the big stone next to him, smashed it hard, and knocked a hole in the altar, and there was no other change.

Shi Beiyan blew the fire fold, and the faint light illuminated the surroundings of the altar.

The sitting altar was a circle, and Qin Huan suddenly found that the dust on the edge of this circle was not smooth enough to connect with the circle.

"Isn't there a mechanism under the altar?" She reasoned.

Shi Beiyan agreed, "If there is no dark partition, then the entire altar can be moved, and perhaps there is another space under the altar." ”

Qin Huan and Shi Yi groped around on the altar, but they didn't find anything that could open the mechanism.

Shi Beiyan stood in the center of the altar, and he recalled in his mind the picture of the Great Wizard dancing, after the flame ignited the altar, every step of the Great Wizard was remembered in his mind.

He looked at the stone bricks on the ground and began to move.

When he walked to the tenth stone, the direction of the altar trembled, Qin Huan and Shi Yi ran over and found that the altar had sunk into the ground, and the position at the bottom seemed to be empty.

"Sure enough, it's a mechanism, they actually built a passage under the altar!" Shi Yi smiled angrily, the mysterious scene on the sacrifice, seeing through the reason, is nothing more than a hole in the ground.

Qin Huan's eyes were shining, and he admired "Shi Beize" more and more, "How do you know that the way to open it is dance steps?" ”

Shi Beiyan walked over and said quite indifferently, "The disappearance of the sacrificers occurred after the flames burned, and at that time, the smoke in the mountain also reached its peak, and it is not difficult to speculate that they were in order to quietly make the sacrificers disappear in front of everyone.

The entire altar is in front of everyone, and no one else can do anything, and the only person who can manipulate everything at the right time is the great wizard, and his action is the stone brick under his feet.

As for the clay sculpture, when the altar rises, just put one on it. ”

Qin Huan gave a thumbs up, "Cow!" ”

Shi Yi gestured to the opposite side, gestured with the shape of his mouth to "adult", and then said, "Cow! ”

Shi Beiyan smiled lightly and pressed Qin Huan's thumb down, "It's dark, the militia has just come down the mountain, and you can find a way down the mountain." ”

Qin Huan's eyes widened, "The tunnels have been found, you let me go?" ”

Shi Beiyan said in a deep voice, "The danger below is unknown, the mute girl and other sacrificers, Shi Yi and I will go to find it, you don't know how to do kung fu, and if you go down, it will drag us down." ”

Shi Yi also made sense when he heard it, and persuaded, "County Lord, why don't you go down the mountain first." ”

Qin Huan's brows tightened, she calmed down for a few seconds, and spoke seriously.

"First of all, the road is slippery when it is dark, and there are militia guards at the bottom of the mountain, so there is a great risk that I will be arrested when I go down the mountain alone;

Secondly, although I don't know kung fu, it doesn't mean that I can't do it, and one more person has more strength;

In the end, Taoyuan Village is my coming, you and Shi Yi are my companions, if you are allowed to risk alone, I will not allow it. ”

Shi Yi's face wrinkled, "County Lord, why do you bother, my eldest elder is a cheap life." ”

"No one's life is cheap, we are companions and should support each other." Qin Huan's eyes were firm.

Shi Beiyan sighed and compromised, "It's dark down there, hide behind us." ”

Qin Huan's eyes lit up, and he hooked his lips and smiled, "It's not certain who will protect who later." ”

Shi Yi scratched his head and smiled, "The county lord is smart, and he must be more effective than me." ”

The moonlight was bright, Shi Yi stretched his muscles and bones, and took the lead in jumping off the altar, it was dark under the altar, he lit a candle to illuminate it, and there was a dark passage in front of him.
