Cangma turned and said, "Old man, we can get three of them here, if we take the three of us to sacrifice, do we need to prepare anything?"

The patriarch didn't expect that there was really such a person in the world who was not afraid of death.

"Yes, yes, yes......" he suddenly became speechless.

"Old man, but it doesn't hurt to speak. ”

The patriarch swallowed and said, "Yes, I want to tie you up and put you in the cemetery outside." ”

Cangma said: "Then what kind of death will we have, do you know?" ”

The patriarch said: "Eaten, eaten by ghosts......"

"Is there really a ghost?" Shen Fang asked.

Cangma waved his hand to signal Shen Fang not to interject, "Have you seen that ghost?"

The patriarch's gaze wandered between the two, but he did not dare to make eye contact with either of them. He was a bit scheming, pretending not to know whose question to answer, but in fact he wanted to hide something.

"Do you know?" Cangma's eyes seemed to suddenly shoot out a light, hitting the patriarch's heart.

He froze suddenly.

In Cangma's thick beard, there is a bottomless smile.

The patriarch never answered Cangma's question, but Cangma didn't ask anymore.

"We'll go back first, and we'll come back tomorrow before dusk. After saying that, Cangma walked out.

Wang Si said to Cangma's back: "Then what if you don't come?"

Cangma suddenly stopped, and Shen Fang turned around and looked at him expressionlessly.

It seemed that they heard the sound of spittle in Wang Si's throat, and both of them smiled silently in their hearts and left.

When crossing the stone steps, Shen Fang asked Cangma, "Big brother, what do you think of that old man?"

"He should know something. Cangma replied, "But he didn't want to say." ”

"Do you think there really are ghosts?"

"It's hard to say. Cangma said: "That ghost is to keep them safe, and they want to exchange three lives for that ghost to keep them safe, so there should be ghosts." But what kind of ghost, I can't say. ”

"We have never seen a wolf in their mouths, and it is no worse than the python in the wetland. ”

Wolves, ghosts, sacrifices, and full moon nights were the words that flashed through Cangma's mind, but he couldn't think of any connections.

"There shouldn't be anything to be afraid of. Cangma clapped his hand on Shen Fang's shoulder, "As disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, you can't even deal with these things." ”

"Big brother, have you forgotten that you are also a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect now. ”

"Hahaha. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, looking very relaxed, not caring about tomorrow's things in the slightest.

The two of them left along the way they came, and the bell was still tied to the end of the rope ladder, and it did not make any sound.

After coming out, the two of them explained everything that happened in the basement to everyone in detail, and when it was said that three living people were needed for sacrifice, and the third candidate was Qin Shaochong, everyone looked at each other.

Only Qin Shaochong secretly clenched his fists, he knew it in his heart, but he said: "It's interesting, but this kind of thing Senior Brother Shen thought of me first." ”

At this time, Liu Rufeng stood up and said, "If you don't dare to go, I'll go for you!" Then he said to Shen Fang: "Senior brother, it takes three living people to sacrifice, it's better to let me and Jiang Ping go with you, Senior Brother Cangma's position is also for Jiang Ping to take his place, so don't teach him to take risks." ”

Shen Fang said: "Cangma and I are designated by the patriarch, so the two of us must go, and the rest of the people are the highest in Qin Shaochong's cultivation, so the first thing I thought of was him." But since he doesn't want to go, I won't force it, so I'll let you and Jiang Ping have one between them. ”

"I'll go with you, senior brother. Jiang Ping said: "Senior Brother Rufeng, don't fight with me this time." ”

"What are you anxious about? Qin Shaochong separated Jiang and Liu, "Did I say I won't go?" He smiled slyly at Shen Fang: "Hehe, it's hard to get Senior Brother Shen to approve it." Yes, I will say to you that my cultivation is the highest, and I will really wade into the troubled waters this time. ”

"Okay, that's it. Shen Fang smiled secretly, this guy is too good at putting on a score, and then, he said to Jiang and Liu: "Don't fight, to be honest, if I have to choose one between the two of you, I will be embarrassed." ”

When the two heard Shen Fang's words, they had no choice but to give up, after all, the truth was on the surface, and no one could deny it.

At this time, Shen Fang continued: "The three of us are not the only ones involved in this matter, the patriarch said that the place of sacrifice is in this cemetery, so when the time comes, Jiang Ping and Liu Rufeng, the two of you, will lead others to ambush nearby to respond, and when the time comes, you will see my orders." ”

"Understood!" Jiang Ping replied immediately.

Liu Rufeng also said: "Don't worry, senior brother." ”

Shen Fang's gaze swept over everyone, and then nodded heavily: "I'll see what kind of ghost it is tomorrow." ”

Nothing to say for a day.

By the evening of the next day, Cangma, Shen Fang, and Qin Shaochong came to the basement on time.

At this time, the patriarch had been waiting with the villagers for a long time, and when he saw that Cangma arrived as scheduled, he was relieved.

"What to do next, please take care of yourself, don't be too scrupulous. Cangma had already seen the rope that Wang Si and the others were holding behind him, so he said this.

"Then we have to offend. The patriarch gave Wang Si and the others a look.

So several people rushed forward and tied the three of them firmly with the ropes they had prepared in advance.

"It's better to tie it tighter. Qin Shaochong quipped: "Aren't you afraid that we will run away?"

When the patriarch heard this, not only did he not recognize the true meaning, but said, "Three righteous men, since your hands and feet are tied, this sword must be useless, so it is better to stay here." ”

When Qin Shaochong heard this, he was angry, he was about to have a seizure, but he heard Cangma say: "Sword, you can solve it yourself." ”

He knew that the eldest brother was already angry, but since Cangma didn't have an attack, there must be a reason for him, so Qin Shaochong also endured it.

How can Cangma not be angry?

He originally thought that he would take the opportunity of the sacrifice to see what kind of ghost it was, and by the way, help them get rid of the ghost. Unexpectedly, what this patriarch wanted was not to let them get rid of ghosts, but to really treat them as substitutes for ghosts.

Wang Sizhan trembled and untied the sword from Cangma's waist.

Cangma was unmoved, just stared at the patriarch and said, "You have to put away these three swords properly." ”

He didn't say when he would come to pick it up, but the meaning of his words was obvious, he would definitely come and pick it up.

The patriarch was silent, his gaze dodging, but Cangma couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Wang Si led a few men to escort Cangma out of the other exit of the basement, which led to the end of the cemetery. These people looked at Cangma's eyes as if they were looking at a dead man.

So they didn't care what the three scapegoats were, where they came from, or why. They don't care if the other party has the ability to save them completely, they only care that they don't have to die tonight. They don't have any hope in life, they just live one day at a time, and if they are lucky in the lottery next month, they can still continue to live, and that's enough.

They dug three deep pits at the end of the cemetery, stuffed Cangma, Qin Shaochong, and Shen Fang into them, and buried their faces with loess all the way to their chests, so that they didn't have to worry that they would escape before dark.

There are such ignorant people in this world, how can they not make people feel chilled?

But in the hearts of these villagers, they are not wrong, it is Cangma who is wrong. Because he was so stupid, no one ever called him, it was he who wanted to run to die.

The last thing the villagers did outside was to pat the dirt with shovels and then hurried back to the dark room. None of them had spoken a word to Cangma, not even a glance at him.

It was only when they returned to the entrance of the chamber that they glanced back at the three exposed human heads in the distance.

It looked like an animal, a vole, because when the vole returned to the burrow, it would look blankly like this when it was sure that it was out of danger. It was a kind of sad complacency, in fact, they also longed for the outside world, so they couldn't help but look again. But they don't know what desire is in their hearts, so they don't pursue it, and the reason why they do this is purely because of the little human instinct to yearn for freedom that still remains in their bodies.

When the wind blew, the sand struck Cangma's cheeks.

He shook his head helplessly, it turns out that there are people you can't save him at all, no matter what you say to him, no matter what you do for him, he only insists on his own mouse eyes, which is really helpless.

Alive, but the soul is dead, there is no lofty pursuit, so looking up to everything, they are good at kneeling, complacent after getting something that others do not take seriously, and take this as the greatest pleasure in life.

"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have called you here. Cangma smiled bitterly.

"Big brother, if you want me to say, it's time to come!" Qin Shaochong said: "I really can't wait to know what kind of expressions they will make when they see us again, hahaha......"

Shen Fang said: "I guess they will be scared to death, hahaha." ”

Cangma didn't smile, he knew that the two brothers were comforting him, "I thought they would take us to the ghost and watch us fight the ghost." Unexpectedly, without saying a word, we were buried alive and the sword was given. ”

"Big brother, are you angry?" Qin Shaochong laughed and said, "I thought that according to your temper, when they buried you in the ground, you should jump up and slap them all to death with one palm." ”

"Hahaha. Cangma laughed: "I can't blame them, we wanted to come by ourselves, and they didn't force us to come." What's more, the secret passage is built so hidden, and it was we who ran in, so I was stupid. ”

"Hahaha. Qin Shaochong laughed, "Okay, since the eldest brother thinks he is the first stupid person in the world, then I am the second stupid person in the world." ”

Shen Fang said: "Then I think I am the third stupidest person in the world." ”
