There were faint sounds of the festival being celebrated outside, and it sounded like there was some distance.
The whole room looked more like a boudoir.
There is a bronze mirror placed on the red lacquered wood table.
There are also wooden combs, hair accessories and other items placed next to it.
But everything was covered with a thick layer of dust.
To the right of the table, there is a low table.
There are medicine jars and pestles placed on it, and there are wrapped medicine bags beside it.
To the left of the table is a small bed with an embroidered curtain.
The bed was covered with bedding that was blackened by insect infestations.
Under the quilt lay a small skeleton.
Judging from the size of the bones, he looks like he is about fourteen or fifteen years old.
Still retains the human form of bones.
Those slender bones have not been nourished by spiritual power like practitioners.
It is purely the remains left by ordinary people who have never practiced cultivation.
And he should be thinner than his peers.
Considering the medicine jars placed on the low table, he may have been dragging his sick body to take medicine during his lifetime.
But the cause of her death was not sudden death due to an illness.
Instead, it was a long sword that pierced the bedding board.
Just looking at the scene in front of them, everyone can fully imagine what happened.
This girl from the Han family might not even have time to get out of bed before she was stabbed to death through the quilt.
Judging from the force with which the long sword penetrated the bed board, we can see the determination of the sword holder to kill.
But why would he be so cruel to a sick and weak girl?
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at an adult skeleton lying at the end of the bed.
The cause of his death was a dagger stuck in his chest.
But the dagger was in his own hand.
"Is this killing my daughter and then committing suicide?"
Sun Hong murmured to himself.
"Probably to avoid being eaten by monsters."
Shi Hao looked at the mark of a limb and claw left on the window and sighed:
"Faced with a strange disaster, some people will make such a choice.
After all, death is a very simple matter.
But being eaten by a monster on the spot is an unimaginable torture.
This is especially true for ordinary people. "
The atmosphere in the room became a little solemn for a while.
Everyone can fully imagine the tragedies that happened in Chenjiacun that day when something went wrong at the festival.
The scene in front of me is just a one-sided presentation.
"Someone should have been in this house not long ago."
Punk girl Zhuo Ningning stared at the fresh footprints on the ground, her brows furrowed tightly.
Shi Hao and Sun Hong looked over, their faces also becoming ugly.
Fresh footprints appeared in the house. It was hard to tell whether they were human or strange.
If they were humans, they wouldn't necessarily be allies.
If it is weird, let alone it.
For a moment, everyone's hearts were lifted.
They all turned to look at Su Mo:
"What did Mr. Su say?"
Su Mo looked at the prescriptions recorded on the coffee table, and after hearing the inquiry, he replied casually:
"Don't worry, we are all here, and basically there is no big problem.
Compared with the monsters that clog the streets in the outside world, even if there are monsters, it is a small problem. "
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved a little.
Afterwards, under the leadership of Su Mo, they walked out of the boudoir and began to explore the Han family's courtyard.
Through the candlelight, they could roughly see the situation in the hospital.
The mottled path has long been covered by weeds.
Occasionally, you can see some trivial corpses and even stains of death.
Many of the bones were those of ordinary people, but some were obviously alienated.
Obviously, when the disaster occurred at the festival, even some of the people left behind in the Han family inevitably showed symptoms of alienation.
It can be seen that the impact of that disaster was huge.
When they entered the corridor in the front yard, they finally encountered a living creature, a moving object.
He wore a tattered red priest's robe and a black hair crown on his head.
The face under the hair crown has long been blackened and withered, the eye sockets and mouth are all black, and the body is extremely shriveled, as if the surface of the skeleton is covered with a layer of human skin.
"Is this a human talisman?"
Su Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.
The human symbols are the dancers in the festival.
Before the festival begins, the human symbol will imitate the legend and perform a dance of sacrifice to the gods.
The formal sacrificial ceremony will be held later.
But the problem is that according to the diary, the selection of human symbols is very strict. There are only twelve people in total, all of whom are from the Han family.
At the ceremony, these twelve people will perform a sacrificial dance before the ceremony.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't be here at all.
Before anyone could figure it out, the human talisman that noticed the movement also started to move.
He stood up and swept quickly, turning into a red shadow. His speed was so fast that Shi Hao and others could not react at all.
But when he rushed forward and suddenly stopped, he saw Su Mo pinching his head from the distance.
The strange thing approaching the Sheqing level was like a toy in his hands.
"Let me see what's in your head."
Su Mo's eyes bloomed with light, and he instantly crushed its origin and read the memory contained within.
The remaining memories are very vague and messy.
However, compared with Chen Wanxing, who was killed by him before, it allowed him to see a few useful pictures.
"So this is the lucky guy who escaped early on the day of the disaster?"
Han Jun is the name of the man in front of him.
He and Han Polu, the head of the twelve-man talisman, immediately realized something was wrong when the disaster broke out and immediately fled home.
I never thought that even if I escaped home, I would still be unable to avoid death.
Fortunately, they escaped from the infinite cycle of festivals and reincarnations in the outside world and became lonely souls wandering in the Han family.
Of course, if an outsider entering a foreign land didn't know this and hid in the Han family at night, he might die on the spot.
"Let's go! Let's continue."
Stepping over the tattered sacrificial robes on the ground, Shi Tao and others followed closely behind Su Mo.
After passing through several corridors and following Han Jun's memory, they arrived at the main hall, where everyone's footsteps suddenly stopped.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Under the board wall with a couplet hanging on it, two figures stood quietly.
At this moment, when he heard the noise from the outside world, the person on the left turned his head, and he saw an extremely young face.
He looked like he was in his mid-twenties, wearing modern clothes.
Su Mo recognized at a glance that this person was the Calabash Boy who traded information about the base of the Guild Religion with him at the trade fair.
Unexpectedly, this guy ended up in a foreign land.
After a few days, I didn’t know whether he was dead or not.
Just as he was thinking about it, Sun Hong next to him shouted in shock:
"Mirror, mirror person?!"
I saw the man on the right turning his head as well, and the face he revealed looked exactly like Shi Tao.
After Su Mo's previous explanation of Zhuo Linyu's body, they already knew the existence of the mirror man.
Originally they had some doubts about this statement, but they didn't expect to see another case here.
"Originally, I thought you were very lucky that you didn't meet him for so long.
Plus the monster was guarding the front yard, making it difficult for me to run out.
I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, you would deliver it to your door yourself.
It seems that God is still on my side after all. "
Shi Tao's mirror image stared at his true self, his eyes shining brightly, and he had obviously given up all kinds of cover measures.
The Calabash Baby or Prisoner Cow on the side also frowned slightly and stared at Su Mo with strange eyes:
"My memory tells me that my true self has some thoughts about you and wants to find an opportunity to get rid of you.
Logically speaking, we should be in the same camp.
As long as you help me find this deity and devour it, I don't have to kill you.
but……"
As he spoke, he glanced at the mirror image of Shi Tao next to him, shook his head and said:
"Those who are not of my race must have different intentions. My race has expressed such strong murderous intentions towards you, and now it is very difficult for peace talks to be effective.
Then I'll kill you, as this will fulfill my last wish. "
As the words fell, the mirror image of Prisoner Niu took the lead to rush forward.
Level 5 strength exploded unbridled.
He wanted to capture Su Mo on the spot.
As for the mirror image of Shi Tao next to him, he also rushed towards Shi Tao.
Following his instinct, he wanted to devour it.
Looking at these two people, Su Mo said nothing and slapped them both into a pile of mist.
Zhuo Ningning and the others were caught off guard when Shi Shi, who was preparing to fight, fled.
"I've been talking nonsense for a long time and haven't said a few words of useful information. What's the point of leaving you?"
Su Mo cursed and walked straight forward.
He has already seen that the two people staying here are not simply blocked by the Korean army outside.
Although Han Jun is powerful, he doesn't have much sense. If he really wants to escape from him, there are many loopholes to exploit.
The reason why these two people stayed here was simply to wait and see.
Su Mo looked at the board with the couplets engraved on it. Without any nonsense, he formed a big hand of air and grabbed it fiercely towards the board.
I saw that the plain and hard board walls were suddenly broken into large pieces, but only the middle was exceptionally strong and stood still.
It was a bronze metal component about one and a half meters in diameter.
The surface of the component is engraved with countless patterns, shining with fine shimmers of light.
Shi Tao and others were shocked.
I didn't expect that there was another mystery hidden under this wall.
"It turned out to be a formation plate with a third-grade formation imprinted on it. No wonder those two guys were blocked from the outside. This is really an unexpected gain."
Su Mo looked at the bronze array plate and was very happy in his heart.
Formation disks are generally made from various spiritual materials and are specially used to engrave formations so that they can be carried around to ensure mobility.
Although the power of a sect-protecting formation like the Thousand Earth Formation is very impressive, it cannot be moved and requires more energy to operate.
As for the formation disk, after being refined, it is generally very small and can be deployed in a large formation anytime and anywhere. Although the formation patterns engraved on it are often very limited and there are very few operators, the power of the formations on the formation disk is often not strong enough.
But that's only a relative term. As long as you have a high-level formation plate and a high-level formation engraved on it, you can also crush low-level ones.
For example, the fourth-grade attack formation engraved on the array plate can easily crush practitioners below the mage level.
However, array disks that can carry fourth-grade formations are often very rare, and are even rarer and harder to find than magic weapons of the same level.
But now, to be able to find a third-grade array, it can be said that it is extremely lucky.
"Since even the Han family has such a treasure, I think the Liu family and the Chen family, both of which are three major families, should not be much different."
"When the festival restarts here, you can drop by and take a look to see if you can unearth other treasures."
Su Mo thought in his mind and didn't stop moving his hands.
He knew that touching the formation plate would definitely cause the formation to counterattack.
It's a pity that the third-level formation is completely meaningless to him.
Not to mention that due to years of wear and tear, the formation patterns on this formation plate can only maintain the protective power of the second level at most.
It's no problem to stop the two mirror people, but it would be funny to stop him.
What's more, he just wants to get the formation disk, and the formation method above is completely useless to him.
The hand girl will definitely be able to draw a better formation on this formation disk.
As soon as he thought of this, Su Mo's huge palm landed on the array.
The moment the formation was touched, the giant hand immediately erased part of the formation patterns on the formation plate at a speed that could not be seen clearly by the naked eye.
The remaining array patterns lit up slightly, and then all went out.
Under the control of spiritual power, the huge formation disk quickly became smaller and turned into a disk the size of a wine bottle cap, which fell into Su Mo's hands.
And at the moment when the formation disk was released, a sharp whistling sound immediately came from the dark underground passage.
Two points of silver light suddenly jumped out and hit Su Mo's mental barrier like lightning.
Realizing that the attack was useless, the people below tried to struggle, but were tied up by the ropes formed by their mental power and dragged directly up.
Seeing the two people tied up and with angry faces, Shi Hao and others were quite confused.
Because they didn't know the two people in front of them.
On the contrary, it was Su Mo who matched the two people with the images given by Song Ruyuan in advance.
"I didn't expect you are all still alive. If Lao Song knew about it, he would definitely be happy."
Hearing this, Yao Wenkai couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then asked:
"Do you know Bureau Song?"
Su Mo smiled and nodded:
"Not only your Song Bureau, but also Lord Xue came in this time."
When Yao Wenkai and his subordinates heard this, they were immediately ecstatic.
After putting them down, Su Mo also learned from Yao Wenkai what happened during this time.
There were six of them when they accidentally fell into this foreign land a few days ago.
Later, in the process of exploring foreign lands, I met some casual cultivators.
In the end, the number of people continued to decrease due to various factors such as mirror people and weirdness.
Now it's just the two of them.
Moreover, they were all blocked under the tunnel by two mirror figures, unable to get out.
If Su Mo had arrived a few days later, he would have had to collect the bodies for them.
After the chat, when they learned that Su Mo and others were here to look for the sacrificial artifact and prepare to restart the ceremony, Yao Wenkai said with some hesitation:
"The sacrificial vessel is hidden in the underground tribute room. We have seen it from a distance, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it out."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Su Mo asked with interest.
"Because there is a monster in the tribute room, several of our companions died at his hands."
