"What Luo Bantou means is that Qiu Laohua was also sacrificed to an evil creature like the Black Mountain God?" Xia Houyun said and looked around the cave. The space here is not small, but not large. If If there really is something evil that can suck Qiu Laohua dry, everyone wouldn't be aware of it until now.
The grim-faced Taoist priest disagreed with Luo Laoqi's statement and asked: "Then did the Black Mountain God also suck the girls' clothes?"
"This...that's not the case."
"There is a difference. Qiu Laohua disappeared with all his body and clothes, leaving only his head, while the Black Mountain God does not eat clothes but only eats people. I guess that the Black Mountain God is probably the same as Niujiacun Like Yin soldiers welcoming a bride, it seems mysterious, but in fact it is just animals causing trouble. Otherwise, why would you choose to pay tribute when the moon is full in the middle of the seventh month and the animals in the mountains are in heat?"
"What the Taoist priest said seems to make sense..."
"Then, who are we?"
"Actually, it's pointless to discuss this now." He Siniang interrupted at this time: "No matter how Qiu Laohua died or who he was sacrificed to, we can't open this stone door."
"how do I say this?"
"If the stone gate is really opened because of the sacrifice of one person, then where can we get the 'sacrifice'?"
He Siniang's words hit the point instantly. Maybe Li Tianwen and his party could sell off their accomplices to achieve their goals, but they couldn't. The morality of the world was secondary. The main reason was that what they wanted during this trip was not life-threatening. Less than sacrificing a companion, for example, from the perspective of the Taoist priest with a grimace, in order to avenge himself, he needs to kill someone to sacrifice Shimen, so this person is not to mention Luo Laoqi and He Si who get along day and night. Damn it, even Xia Houxiang, who made people hateful with his words, couldn't do it.
Taoist Ghost Face immediately went through these thoughts in his mind, and finally determined that none of the five people would do such a stupid thing, but what Xia Houyun did next made Taoist Ghost Face dumbfounded.
Xia Houyun seemed to have been thinking for a long time, and then said with a decisive expression: "If this door really needs to be opened by sacrificing one person, then let me do it. I am already over 60 years old, and I have already lived a long life. I just hope that after the door is opened, Can you lead the old nephew and grandnephew to find the golden seal of Faqiu?"
"No! If this is really the case, my grandson would rather not look for the golden seal."
"Don't say anything, my second uncle has made up his mind..."
"What are you trying to do?!" The grim-faced Taoist priest interrupted the two of them: "If the stone door cannot be opened, we will find another way. We will choose to die in order to open the door. Regardless of whether you agree or not, Pindao will be the first to object."
He Siniang was a little panicked when she saw Xia Houyun's actions, and quickly said: "Yes, senior, the so-called sacrifice to open the door is just my concubine's guess. You must not act hastily until it is confirmed!"
"Our speculations here will never come to fruition. If it is true or false, let me prove it with my own body!"
"Mom, this is the first time I've seen someone rushing to reincarnate." Luo Laoqi kicked Qiu Laohua's head away and said, "Old man, you have to think carefully. Even the whole body will not be left behind when you die. You can only Just like Qiu Laohua, all he has left is his head."
"Stop causing trouble!" He Siniang glared at Luo Laoqi.
Xia Houyun didn't answer, but walked towards the stone platform.
The Grimace Taoist priest seemed a little distracted at this time, and did not make any sign to Xia Houyun who was walking by. He Siniang hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to grab Xia Houyun. At the same time, she punched the Grimace Taoist priest on the waist and scolded: "You didn't stop me!"
"Ah? Oh!" The grim-faced Taoist priest came back to his senses and said, "Senior Xiahou, please don't act rashly. Look at the stone gate!"
"Isn't that the head that was kicked by Lao Qi?" He Siniang stretched out her head to look at it, and then immediately said in disgust: "My mother! Lao Qi, you are too disgusting, you kicked that head to pieces !”
Luo Laoqi scratched his head, but he didn't expect that his kick would actually knock Qiu Laohua's head onto the stone door. Under the impact of gravity, the head's Tianling Cap was lifted up, and the blood and pulp inside spread everywhere. It was as if someone had poured a pot of tender tofu pudding in front of the door.
He Siniang's face was full of disgust, and she quickly asked the grim-faced Taoist priest: "Does the Taoist just want us to see that pool of brains?"
"What kind of brain! Just now, the stone door shook!" The grim-faced Taoist priest didn't wait for the words to finish, and quickly ran to the stone door, stretched out his palm and put it against the door to feel it, and then tilted his head and put his ear against the stone door.
Everyone looked at it inexplicably, because none of them saw the stone door shaking. They wondered if the grimace of the Taoist priest's eyes were blurred due to anxiety. Luo Laoqi even said hello: "Why don't you come over and have something to eat, Taoist priest?" It’s easy to delay things when you’re hungry.”
The grim-faced Taoist priest interrupted his words. Now he heard some noises in his ears, like the sound of iron rings rubbing against each other, and the noise was getting louder and louder, as if something was dragging an iron chain. Run towards Shimen.
The old Taoist with a grimace felt his heart in his throat. As the sound got closer and closer, he felt more and more that the person coming was evil. He hurriedly retreated and ran towards the crowd, not daring to speak aloud. He could only gesture with his hands to let everyone run to the wall. Hiding everywhere.
Seeing his expression, everyone dared not slack off. They hurriedly put out their torches and ran to the side of the cave. When they stood close to the stone wall, they heard a loud "boom" and the stone door was knocked open.
After the stone door opened, a black shadow as big as a buffalo sprang out from behind. It was obvious that the stone door was knocked open by it. After the stone door was opened, the black shadow stopped behind the door for a moment, and then Walk towards the stone platform in the cave.
In the darkness, they heard the black shadow wandering around the stone platform twice. Because they were so close, everyone could even hear the black shadow's heavy breathing. Just as everyone was panicking, the black shadow seemed to feel that the shadow was near the stone platform. There was nothing, so he dragged the chain back to the stone gate.
This time, the sound of sucking and licking finally came from the darkness. It seemed that the dark shadow had begun to eat Qiu Laohua's brain.
The old man with a ghost face vaguely felt that the black figure seemed to be a ferocious beast, but it was locked with iron chains. Whenever he moved, the sound of dragging iron chains would be heard. Thinking of this, he had the courage to blow out the fire seal to borrow the opportunity. In the faint light of the fire folding piece, I saw a giant beast that looked like an ox or a rhinoceros lying in front of the stone door. It seemed not to notice the light of the burning folding piece, and it was greedily licking the brains on the ground. In the blink of an eye, it was almost over. A whole pool of liquid was licked away.
Xia Houyun also saw the ferocious beast from the side, and hurriedly tugged on the sleeves of the old man with a grimace, and whispered: "It's the Lanzhu beast guarding the mausoleum. It has no eyes and ears. Let's sneak in quickly!"
