"Everyone already knows the specific situation. If you have any suggestions, you can share them here."
In the main hall of the Han family, Su Mo looked at Yao Wenkai and others around him and decisively laid out the problem.
Even though his personal power can be said to be the pinnacle here.
But the rituals cannot be simply solved by force.
One person is short and two people are long.
There are six people here, maybe some sparks of thinking can come from the collision.
After thinking for a moment, Yao Wenkai asked:
"In other words, next we must imitate the Saturn Festival and hold the corresponding ceremony to open the temple?"
"Yes, now that we have obtained the God Worship Bell, the next questions will mainly focus on the ceremony."
Su Mo nodded in response.
Sun Hong thought for a while and said:
“We already have a rough idea of the relevant content of the ceremony through the ancient books here.
Although the details are very complicated, the main body is actually relatively simple.
To put it simply, it is [ringing the bell], [receiving the saint], [welcoming the saint], [entering the shrine], and even the final [ceremony ceremony]. "
"The problem now is that it's difficult for us to do the first step of ringing the bell."
Shi Tao shook the braid on the back of his head, his expression a bit ugly:
“No matter how much we omit the details, the God Worship Bell and the Twelve-man Talisman are still necessary.
I won’t talk about getting the God Worship Bell now, but there are only six of us here.
How do these six people act as twelve characters? There simply aren't enough people. "
Su Mo couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Before this, he never thought that the first step of the festival would be so stuck.
In fact, he has thought of a solution to this problem.
For example, relying on his strong strength to directly go to the outside team to grab a group of monsters.
Force them to act as human symbols and start the festival.
However, Su Mo also knew that this method was somewhat unreliable.
Not to mention that those monsters don't listen to orders at all and will die and restart at every turn.
Even if everything goes smoothly in the middle process, it is still unclear whether this method can start the festival.
Therefore, Su Mo regarded this as a last resort.
Discard it as soon as a better strategy comes along.
But now, looking at the faces of these people on the field, it is probably difficult to give better advice.
Su Mo was thinking.
Yao Wenkai suddenly said:
“I can actually solve the problem of numbers.
I have a strange item that can create virtual clones.
But this clone is different from the mirror person we met.
It doesn't have too much strength and can be broken with just one poke.
He also has no independent thinking and cannot think independently.
But no matter the strength, breath, physical body, etc., everything can be simulated very closely!
Therefore, this strange item is used during escape.
Use a large number of clones created in an instant to cover up your true whereabouts.
But here, I think it can be used in festivals. "
"Then how long can it last? From [Ring of the Bell] to [Festival Ceremony], a lot of time will be delayed in between. Will the clone suddenly dissipate halfway through?"
Yao Wenkai heard Su Mo's question and replied with some hesitation:
"With my current strength, I should be able to sustain it for ten minutes."
"What's the price?"
"Swallowing blood."
"Then let me use it."
Su Mo replied decisively:
"My blood is extremely rich, even if it is swallowed, it may not be able to swallow much."
"Well, that's what Mr. Isu said."
Yao Wenkai responded immediately.
"Then the next question is the special red sacrificial robe."
Sun Hong frowned slightly:
"But the two human talismans are already dead, and the sacrificial robes on their bodies have become tattered and cannot be used at all, and the quantity is completely insufficient."
"This is simple."
Zhuo Ningning suddenly smiled and replied:
"I remember that the Han family has many backup sacrificial robes. Let's go look for them and borrow Brother Shi's condensate. There should be no problem with the clothes."
"Then without further ado, we'll set off immediately."
Shi Hao said quickly.
Su Mo nodded and said:
"There are no other weirdos in the Han family. We will meet here after getting the clothes."
Immediately everyone took action.
Half an hour later, Su Mo came to the hall with five sacrificial robes.
The rest of the people also gathered.
"It looks like there are three more pieces, just for backup."
Shi Hao smiled, took out the red condensation liquid, and poured it on his clothes one by one.
It can be found that after sprinkling the condensation liquid, all those clothes become soft and tight.
At this time, Su Mo said:
"Sprinkle some on this letter too."
As he spoke, he took out a yellowed envelope.
Shi Hao didn't hesitate too much and immediately poured a little condensation liquid on the letter.
The condensate seeps into the envelope, immediately making the entire letter stronger and no longer fragile.
Su Mo opened the envelope and took out a thick pile of letter paper inside.
He found this letter in the boudoir of a girl from the Han family.
According to the records in some books in the boudoir, the girl was probably Chen Wanxing's close friend in the boudoir, Han Caiyi, the legitimate daughter of the Han family.
And this letter was locked in the closet box with great care, and it obviously contained quite important information.
However, after opening it and examining it carefully, Su Mo's face showed surprise and confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Su Mo's expression, Yao Wenkai and others asked eagerly.
"You will know after you see it for yourselves."
Su Mo handed over the letter.
Everyone quickly gathered around to check it out.
Su Mo looked at the situation and fell into thinking.
As he suspected, the letter was a love letter.
The difference is that it was neither written by Han Caiyi to her lover, nor was it written by her lover to Han Caiyi.
The recipient's name is Chen Zhigang, and the sender's name is Liu Ruoyu.
According to the information revealed in the letter, Chen Zhigang is a sacrificial guard of the Chen family and plays the role of guard at the ceremony.
But Liu Ruoyu is the eldest lady of the Liu family, and her status far exceeds that of others.
Because she is the saint in the last round of festivals.
According to the descriptions in the Han family's classics, every generation of saints comes from the Liu family.
Of course, if no girl is born in the direct line, then one person from the collateral line will be automatically selected to be promoted to the main family's saint.
A saint must not only guarantee her virginity, but also guarantee not to fall in love.
However, this new generation of saint Liu Ruoyu somehow fell in love with Chen Zhigang.
Su Mo deeply suspected that Han Caiyi might play a leading role in this.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for this love letter to appear in her boudoir.
After all, once this kind of thing is exposed, the fate waiting for the two of them will be extremely miserable.
It is absolutely impossible to obtain the letter unless you trust someone.
In the letter, Liu Ruoyu not only described her lovesickness, but also agreed with Chen Zhigang to elope together, run away from home, and escape from Chenjiacun.
There is naturally a reason why the responsibilities of a saint are too heavy for Liu Ruoyu to bear.
But what's more important is the horror and weirdness she describes.
Liu Ruoyu wrote in the letter that she saw with her own eyes a maid of the Liu family who violated a taboo and was taken away and killed. However, she appeared alive in front of everyone the next day.
Later she saw a familiar cook cooking a child in the kitchen.
But when she mentioned it to the people around her, they all said she had seen it wrong.
For a time she thought it was her imagination.
It was not until later that I went to the shrine to arrange the ceremony.
The old and dying temple guardian, when no one else noticed, firmly held her hand and told her to run away.
This made Liu Ruoyu completely determined to escape.
Finally, before the festival, I wrote this letter and gave it to Han Caiyi, asking her to bring it to Chen Zhigang.
However, I don’t know what happened in the middle, and the letter was still lying in Han Caiyi’s closet until the festival began.
Su Mo had an intuition that the disaster at the Chen family ceremony might have a lot to do with Liu Ruoyu.
But he still doesn't know what happened at the festival.
Perhaps we have to wait until we finally enter the shrine to find out the reason.
At this time, Shi Tao and others, who had also read the letter, also put down the letter paper.
Yao Wenkai asked:
"Now that the problem of the twelve-person talisman has been solved, after [ringing the bell] we will go to Liu's house [to pick up the saint].
But now that everyone in the Liu family is dead, what should this saint do? "
"It doesn't matter."
Su Mo said in a deep voice:
"Liu Ruoyu most likely died at the festival, but there are many other girls in the Liu family besides her.
Those girls are all candidate saints, and they will take over if Liu Ruoyu has a problem.
In order to avoid suspicion, candidate saints generally do not appear in public places, including festivals.
In other words, when the festival disaster broke out, the candidate saints were basically all in the Liu family, and almost all of them died in the Liu family in the end.
As long as their skeletons or spiritual bodies are found, the step of [receiving the saints] should be completed successfully. "
Everyone thought for a while and generally agreed with Su Mo's view.
No longer wasted any time, and after Su Mo used a strange object to summon the clone, they immediately put on the red sacrificial robe.
Su Mo shook the god-worshiping bell and led the way, followed by twelve people's talismans.
Yao Wenkai and others stood guard outside and strode towards the street, heading towards the Liu family.
…
On the street near Liu's house.
The sky is bright and there is no night atmosphere.
The group of people was sneaking towards the Liu family.
The leader was a bald man with three earrings on his left ear.
He carefully squatted under a wooden cart and looked around with a vigilant face.
A woman in her forties with heavy makeup followed behind her.
She came close to the bald head and asked softly:
"Brother Wei, it's still daylight now, do we need to be so cautious?"
Zheng Changwei turned to glance at her and said expressionlessly:
"Isn't it good to be cautious? Anyone who is not careful will be dead long ago."
"I don't mean to blame you."
The curly-haired woman quickly explained with a smile on her face:
“I just feel that this kind of action may be a bit slow and waste time.
You see it's getting late now. If we delay a little longer, maybe night will come soon.
If you haven't found a place to live by then, you'll be in trouble. "
"I naturally know this, I don't need you to remind me."
Zheng Changwei frowned slightly and then said:
“We are almost at our destination now, and even if night falls now, we can still break in in time.
But the Liu family is one of the three major families in Chenjiacun after all, and there might still be some powerful monsters left in it.
We must be fully prepared and be cautious enough so that we can achieve corresponding gains in the Liu family.
It's a rare trip to a foreign land. So many people in the team have died, so we can't come here in vain! "
When Zheng Changwei said this, his expression turned slightly ferocious.
“Don’t worry, Brother Wei, you have helped us all a lot here.
Now many people's teams have been severely damaged.
Maybe I will have to rely on you for help when I get to the outside world.
I can't say for others, but I, Zhu Dacui, will definitely follow your lead! "
The curly-haired woman's chest swayed as she patted it.
Zheng Changwei did not look at her, but looked at Chen Shuo who was also following behind him, and said with a smile:
"Brother Chen, your team has dispersed. Do you want to join me when you get out?"
Chen Shuo pushed up his glasses and replied on the spot:
"It depends on whether all my team members are here. After all, everyone is just separated, and it is not confirmed whether they are dead or not."
"Then if you are the only one left, remember to come and help me!"
Zheng Changwei said without hesitation.
Chen Shuo smiled and did not respond.
Zheng Changwei then looked at the inconspicuous young man in black on the other side and continued:
"Lao Niu, you must remember to come over after we go out!"
Prison Niu nodded and urged:
"Hurry up, don't waste any more time, go to Liu's house first."
After receiving the response, Zheng Changwei said with some satisfaction:
"Let's go, everyone, be careful and follow me. Whether we can make a fortune or not depends on this!"
The group continued to touch towards the Liu family.
…
Two kilometers south of Liu's house.
There was an explosion.
Song Ruyuan crushed the head of a level 4 remnant with his own hands.
He picked up a red oven that fell from Remnant's hand, with a slight smile on his face.
"It's actually a top-level magic weapon? Fortunately, this guy can't exert the power of this magic weapon, otherwise I would really stumble here.
I didn't expect that I would get such a rich harvest this time. It was really beyond my expectation. "
Song Ruyuan carefully studied the red oven and couldn't put it down.
After a while, he put the small oven into his pocket, and then took out a stick of incense.
"It's been such a long time, and I don't know where those two people are."
"It would be great if it's close here, but if it's far away, there will be some trouble."
Song Ruyuan lit the short incense, and the hazy smoke dispersed in all directions.
Soon, as if the direction had been traced, they all converged into a white line, pointing faintly to the northwest.
"Is it actually nearby?" Song Ruyuan's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw it.
He has used breath-sensing treasures several times before, but nothing happened.
Later, I planned to go to Liu's house, but I got the message here.
It seems like one of the two must be nearby.
Song Ruyuan was thinking in his mind while speeding towards the direction pointed by Duan Xiang.
Before long, he saw the familiar figure of Xue Lansu.
Before he could say hello, he saw another figure rushing out of the alley next to him.
That figure was clearly himself! !
