Ji Mingfei seemed to be deliberately irritating Miao Linglong: "Your ancestor Miao Guangyi didn't calculate correctly, how dare you say that the Miao family's hexagrams are the best in the world?"
Miao Linglong said angrily: "The ancestors have already calculated it correctly. If you follow the direction directed by the dead man, will you encounter the bronze tripod here?"
"Don't ask questions when you encounter a corpse. Is that wrong?"
Ji Mingfei sneered: "What about Mo Jin when you encounter a tripod? Most people here have been close to a bronze tripod. Has anything happened to us?"
"You..." Miao Linglong didn't know how to refute for a moment, and her voice was already crying.
Ji Mingyue said: "Okay, no need to say more. Since sister Linglong wants to prove herself, let her figure out Ye Jinglong's position."
I soon heard the sound of Miao Linglong shaking the hexagram, and my heart clenched violently with the movement of the hexagram.
A moment later, I heard Ji Mingfei laugh and say: "Why, the first hexagram fell? Do you still dare to say that the Miao family's hexagram skills are unparalleled in the world?"
"Shut up!" Miao Linglong roared: "I don't believe it. Can't you figure out where Ye Jinglong is?"
This scourge!
I quietly took out two "five-petal flowers" from my backpack and held them in my hands.
The "Five-petal Flower" is a hidden weapon composed of five magatama-shaped blades. After being fired, it can be divided into five parts in the air and swept towards nearby targets. It is most suitable for group battles. However, this kind of hidden weapon cannot be recovered after being fired. The Ninth Prince only made six of them for me. If I use one, I will lose one. I have never been willing to use it.
Now, I don’t care about being stingy with concealed weapons.
When I pinched two handfuls of "five-petal flowers" and pressed my body against the bronze tripod, a damp coolness came through my clothes.
Is there water in the cauldron?
Before I could react, I saw strings of water droplets emerging from the inside of the bronze cauldron. After a while, the clear water that appeared out of thin air in the cauldron was up to my ankles.
When I was shocked, the little girl suddenly jumped on me and covered my mouth. She lay next to my ear and whispered: "Don't move, the water is not boiling yet. Wait until the water is hot before going out. Don't worry, I'm here." , the water in this cauldron will not be opened first."
I suddenly opened my eyes wide: This little girl said that the water in the cauldron will be boiled?
I have seen records about the "ding" in "Ghost Book". The original function of the tripod was to cook food, and later it was transformed into a sacrificial vessel and a ritual vessel.
In ancient times, great shamans would use copper tripods to worship ghosts and gods.
Now that we have the bronze cauldron and water, where are the sacrifices that should be cooked?
Everyone outside may become a sacrifice. This is why Miao Guangyi warned us to "don't get close to the tripod"!
After a while, the water in the bronze cauldron was more than half full, and the water temperature was gradually heating up. The little girl stood in the water and whispered: "The water is about to boil, don't move yet!"
As soon as I nodded, I heard Miao Linglong shouting: "Ye Jinglong is hiding in the cauldron over there, and there are people around him."
"Do it!" Ji Mingyue shouted hurriedly, and the disciples of the Yansheng Sect gathered around the bronze cauldron.
When the opponent's footsteps quickly approached the mouth of the copper cauldron, the sound of boiling water suddenly became loud. It seemed that all the copper cauldrons near us were boiled in an instant, but the giant cauldron I was in still maintained its original shape. temperature.
The little girl said with a trembling voice: "You have to run out quickly, I can't hold on for long."
The little girl's face had lost all color, and her small body was twisting left and right in the bronze cauldron, as if she was struggling to hold on.
At the same time, there was a strange popping sound near me, followed by screams rising into the sky.
I quietly poked my head out of the bronze cauldron and took a look. There was rolling water vapor everywhere outside. No matter where I looked, there was a vast white mist and panicked figures.
Before I could clearly see the scene outside, a disciple of the Yansheng Sect rushed away the water vapor and stuck to the edge of the bronze cauldron: "Ye Jinglong is here!"
As soon as the other party started shouting, I stood up from the bronze tripod and swung the knife towards the other party's throat.
The tip of my knife was about to get close to the opponent's mouth. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the mist grabbed the person's hair. The opponent pulled back violently, causing the person's head to tilt back. Like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, it stretched its neck and put its throat under my blade.
The knife in my hand swept across his neck, and the blood from the other person's throat burst into my face.
The ghost claws that grabbed the man's hair also released their fingers, letting the body lie on the ground, and then spread their fingers to grab my head.
Just as I was about to draw the knife, I heard someone behind me say, "He's mine, you've crossed the line."
The ghost hand that stretched out from the water vapor only hesitated for a moment, then opened its fingers again and grabbed my head.
When I raised my knife to face the opponent's hand, a strong wind with warm water roared from behind me. I instinctively turned sideways to dodge, and another ghost hand passed me and grabbed Lingkong. The palms of their hands touched together.
After a muffled sound, I was pushed one meter away by the airflow caused by the collision of two ghost hands, and hit the bronze tripod behind me. When I was holding the bronze tripod and wanted to turn around, I felt that my shoulder As soon as he sank, he was pushed back to his original position.
The little girl leaned out half of her body from the bronze tripod: "Don't make any noise, wait until the water vapor dissipates before running away. After a while, the ghosts and gods that come over will only eat cooked food."
I lowered my voice and said, "Are there no ghosts in this cauldron?"
"Yes! I'm stepping on them!" the little girl cried, "My feet are so hot!"
I followed her body and looked into the cauldron, and saw that her little feet were stepping on a mess of messy hair. Aren't the palms floating on the side of the messy hair the ghost claws that just passed me by?
The little girl and I only exchanged a few words when the screams of Disciple Yansheng started to sound one after another.
Through the water vapor, I can still see the disciples of the Yansheng Sect being dragged into the bronze cauldron one by one. Some people's heads were pressed tightly into the water by ghost hands, and they could only wave their hands and struggle desperately; some people were burned by the boiling water and were burned from the bronze cauldron. Zhong jumped up, but was quickly caught back by Ding Zhong's ghostly hand;
After a while, the screams in the tomb passage gradually subsided, but the fishy smell of cooking meat filled the tomb.
I don't know how ancient wizards worshiped gods, but I have seen things that paid tribute to gods. When offering sacrifices to ancestors and gods, they use half-cooked sacred meat that has no salt or ingredients.
Aren’t those pieces of meat rolling in the bronze cauldron exactly this kind of thing?
The little girl said softly: "In a moment, the ghosts and gods will come to eat. Run wherever I tell you to go. Don't run to the wrong place. If you are caught by the ghosts and gods, you will also be cooked and eaten." .”
I didn't believe that little girl, but I didn't dare to wait here to watch the ghosts and gods enjoy the tribute, so I could only nod to her.
As soon as the little girl smiled, I heard Miao Linglong say in the distance: "Look for Ye Jinglong quickly, our life depends on him."
