What made Li Luo feel mixed emotions was that he never expected to see these similar mural totems in Linshan County, just like what he saw in the ancient tomb under the Immortal Peak. He didn't know if they would still exist here.
There is an ancient and strange tree that Li Luo remembers particularly deeply.
Zhemu Hetu seemed to be quite familiar with the mechanisms here. He had no dangers along the way and avoided several teams of patrols. Li Luo took a quick look and found that the costumes of the patrols were somewhat similar to those of the common people in Dagan, but there were few details.
But there was something different everywhere, his expression was cold and solemn, a bit dull, and Li Luo's eyes looked dull, as if he was slowly becoming numb after being imprisoned in a corner of the world for millions of years.
The place the two of them were in was a long and narrow valley, with towering cliffs on both sides reaching into the clouds, reaching up to the sky for nine days. They were at the foot of the mountain and looked up. For a moment, they couldn't tell how high the two mountains were, but they were at least a thousand feet high.
The mountainside of the valley is shrouded in clouds and mist, with the cries of eagles and cranes resounding in the sky. The mountains in the distance are like black clouds, and there seems to be a grotto and pavilion on the cliff, but it is a little far away, so it is not very clear.
There are many grottoes dug into the mountains under the valley, but few houses are seen. It seems that the secluded people here like to live in caves and are not good at repairing houses. There is a stream flowing through the middle of the valley, which is common in Linshan County.
The stream was full of fallen leaves, but yellow and red leaves were scattered on the stream and flowed down the stream. The stream was crystal clear, and you could see the small fish under the leaves curiously touching the dead leaves on the water.
Another spin and sank to the bottom of the water. Just looking at the mountains and rivers, it is indeed a paradise of beauty, but there are more guards patrolling the mountain, and the ambush on both sides of the mountain road is a little more vicious. Other than that,
Otherwise, I can't find any flaws.
"Right here." Zhemu Hetu said in a deep voice.
"where?"
Zhe Mu He Tu pointed to the mountainside and said, "That's where the ancestral hall is, and Miss Liu is locked up there."
"Why do you believe it?"
Zhemu Hetu had already expected that Li Luo would ask this question, and replied calmly: "Because I was the one who brought Miss Liu here, and it was also my plan to capture her and hand her over to these ancient remnants."
"Remnants of ancient times?" Li Luo frowned slightly and asked softly.
Zhemu Hetu glanced at Li Luo, with contempt in his eyes, and responded, but did not explain in words.
"Use poison?" Li Luo suddenly asked.
Zhemu Hetu's expression changed slightly and he remained silent. He was able to capture Liuyunzhan easily, but it would not be easy without resorting to methods such as poison.
"Why do these so-called ancient survivors want to capture Liuyunzhan?"
"Sacrifice."
"Sacrifice?" Li Luo was shocked, saying that the situation in Liuyunzhan was not good.
"Yes, the love is pure but shameless, the appearance is noble but without guilt, and sacrificing the blood of a virgin to the ancient demon god can lead the demon god into the mortal world. This is also one of the inheritances of these ancient remnants."
"When will the sacrifices begin?" Li Luo's heart sank and he asked in a deep voice.
Zhemu Hetu smiled coldly and said cruelly: "It has already begun."
Li Luo suddenly turned back and looked at Zhemu Hetu, the murderous intent in his eyes almost solidified. Zhemu Hetu felt slightly shuddered in his heart, and said hurriedly: "I didn't delay this journey."
"How to make a sacrifice?"
"I don't know how to sacrifice. I only heard Master talk about it accidentally back then. It takes about twelve hours in total. A virgin woman is required as a sacrifice, and blood is used as the medium to complete the sacrifice. It takes less than twelve hours.
At this time, the sacrifice must not die, so although it is dangerous for the stray girl, she is not likely to die at the moment."
"Sacrifice until midnight tonight?"
"Yes, it's midnight tonight. Your lord, don't blame me for talking too much. I have reminded your lord many times along the way."
"I don't blame you for this. When I see Liuyunzhan, I will definitely keep my promise and let you go." Li Luo glanced at Zhemuhetu and said calmly, "As for the flaws you left near the entrance of the valley, I will also take care of it.
Zuo didn’t see it.”
Zhemu Hetu's face turned pale. He didn't expect that the traces he deliberately left had already been seen by Li Luo. He originally wanted to leave a loophole for the ancient relics living here to see Li Luo's whereabouts, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape. In this way,
It would be better to put away such thoughts earlier.
"Since you can help them capture Liuyunzhan, you or your master must have a relationship with these ancient remnants. How can you get to the place where the sacrifice is located on the mountainside?"
Zhemu Hetu pondered for a moment and replied bluntly: "If I am alone, I am sure that I can get to the ancestral hall and temple, but if I go with the prince, I can only go to the bottom of the mountain at most. The way forward depends on the prince's ability.
"
"That's enough, let's go." Li Luo raised his eyebrows and said calmly.
Zhemu Hetu glanced at Li Luo and asked strangely: "Your Majesty, don't you want to know the origin of the ancient remnants here?"
Li Luo glanced at Zhe Mu He Tu and said calmly: "You don't need to know. No matter the ancient remnants here or the sect of respected masters, they are my enemies and not friends. Since we have seen life and death, why should we know too much."
Zhemu Hetu smiled coldly and said: "Your Majesty is right. Since we have to distinguish between life and death, knowing too much may disturb our mind. The more we know, the more scruples we have. Your Majesty's temperament is truly unparalleled.
." After saying that, Zhemu Hetu took a long breath and said solemnly, "Although I know some people here, we are not familiar with each other. We just left a few days ago and are here again today. It doesn't make sense. You and I should adapt accordingly.
"
Li Luo nodded and did not urge him. If Zhemu Hetu wanted to survive, he would naturally know what to do.
The two of them walked into the valley side by side, passing by many villagers along the way. Naturally, these so-called ancient remnants were naturally curious and wary. However, it seemed that the face of Zhemu Hetu was not unfamiliar, and several people recognized it.
, after hearing a while of questioning words, these ancient survivors looked like they suddenly understood, and pointed at Li Luo and Zhemu Hetu. Although they didn’t know what they were talking about, they saw the contempt and contempt in these people’s eyes.
His lofty and arrogant attitude seemed to be giving alms to the two of them, and Li Luo could probably guess what these people were thinking.
Zhemu Hetu said nothing, and Li Luo didn't know what to say, so he imitated Zhemu Hetu and remained silent. Zhemu Hetu walked through the crowd and walked quickly towards the mountainside.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zhemu Hetu looked up at the endless cliffs and dangerous peaks, and said in a deep voice: "I can only send you here. Outsiders are not allowed to set foot further up, and neither am I."
"The words don't make sense, the writing doesn't make sense, and I'm afraid the truth doesn't make sense either. There's nothing left except for killing. Let's go up."
