The surface of the altar was not smooth. When Xu Ziyan observed it, he saw some strange grooves. These grooves curved and extended to one side of the altar, and there was a huge urn under it.
Xu Ziyan had a very bad impression of this sacrificial square, because he always felt that the black traces in the groove gave off a faint smell of blood.
"Human blood." Xu Zirong just glanced at it lightly and then withdrew his gaze.
Xu Ziyan frowned when he heard this.
Cultivation people don't respect ghosts and gods. Those mortals call the gods and monsters in the eyes of monks, but they are just some well-trained monsters, or powerful monks. As long as the cultivation level is deep enough, killing gods and ghosts is easy.
As for the so-called human sacrifices in remote mountain villages, it is mostly a means of cultivating demons and demons. Nowadays, the sacrifices of ghosts and gods in this weird town make Xu Ziyan have to think a lot.
"Let's investigate again." Xu Ziyan thought for a while, but decided not to act rashly for the time being. Although he deduced that the so-called ghost god should be some powerful ghost cultivator, he couldn't guarantee how powerful the other party was.
The best result, of course, is that they successfully defeated the ghost repairers and left this weird town, but if they couldn't get out of it
The existence of this 'ghost and god' just provided a clue for them to leave the town, but whether they can leave or not is still unknown.
Taking advantage of the 'non-existent' feature, Xu Ziyan and Xu Zirong walked around the town again. The information they collected was very limited. The townspeople seemed to live peacefully. Most of the topics they talked about were short stories about their parents, and they were mentioned occasionally. Three days later, the ghosts and gods sacrifice, and then there is the 'stranger' who appeared in the town.
Xu Ziyan knew that the stranger they were talking about was Tianle who could communicate with them. It was not difficult to see from the whispers that Tianle in disguise left a very good impression on these townspeople.
After listening to it for a while, Xu Ziyan was stunned to find that maybe Tianle had done a good job of disguising, and some of the more enthusiastic aunts among these people had already started planning to sell to the girls in their town.
Xu Ziyan couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of Tian Le's bitter rejection of these aunties' good intentions, but after laughing, he felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience.
He pointed his chin with his fingertips, and thought carefully about where this sense of disobedience came from. In fact, similar things happen from time to time in modern times. Thinking that if he hadn't been in the United States away from those relatives at home, he probably wouldn't have escaped this hurdle.
only-
Xu Ziyan's eyes gradually darkened, and his thoughts became clearer.
Such enthusiastic uncles and aunts are the norm in modern times, and there may be people with this character in ancient times. Their existence is not contradictory, but the question is - Tianle only appeared in this small town for a short time, even if these uncles and aunts are happy to be matchmakers, will they act so quickly without knowing the identity and background of the man?
Besides, they didn't know the purpose of Tian Le's coming here, nor when the other party would leave, but when they were discussing behind their backs, the determined tone clearly determined that the other party would never leave here.
Why are they so confident? Is it because - do they know something we don't
Xu Ziyan pondered for a while, but couldn't solve the puzzle, so he had to put him aside for the time being.
He took another turn in this residential area, and the topics he heard were similar to those just now. The only special thing was that someone here also mentioned the 'new' group of anti-contract workers at the dock.
Xu Ziyan couldn't help but be surprised. From the mouth of the skeleton boy, it was not difficult to hear that there were traders in their small town on weekdays, which meant that there were many strangers here, but in the mouths of the townspeople, he heard it. Completely opposite attitudes.
To Tianle, they are enthusiastic and generous, even if they don't even know the details of the other party, they are going to match him, but those new workers are despised and disgusted by them, even if they don't say it clearly, but when they talk about them, the disgust in their tone But it can't be hidden anyway.
Interesting…
Xu Ziyan lowered his eyes halfway, covering the obscurity in his eyes. The two groups of people who appeared at the same time, but the former is a rich son, and the latter is a coolie, so should they be treated differently
This is not reasonable! Very unreasonable!
If the rock monsters he met in the inn yesterday complained about the workers, it would be understandable. After all, his job was robbed, but what he heard was that the new workers were scolded by ordinary townspeople. , and even some wealthy squires, this is simply an impossible thing.
Unless - the appearance of those people destroys the common interests of these people!
"Perhaps, we should also go and see those new workers." Xu Ziyan said to himself.
Xu Zirong's eyes flashed, and a red light flew from his fingertips and shot towards the wall not far away, and he drank, "Who is it!"
Xu Ziyan was already in his heart, and hurriedly looked towards the corner of the wall, but only heard the sound of leaving footsteps.
"Is there anyone else here who can see us?" Xu Ziyan asked in surprise.
Xu Zirong's eyes narrowed dangerously into slits, and said coldly, "It should be, otherwise this person would not have escaped at all."
Xu Ziyan nodded, then returned to his senses and looked at Xu Zirong with a strange expression: "You restored your cultivation?" After they entered the town, they became ordinary people. What happened to the red light just now
Xu Zirong shook his head, walked over to the corner of the wall, and retrieved a dark red dagger: "The eighteen child-mother daggers I got from the brush, I used them directly as flying knives."
Xu Ziyan smiled immediately. Because of his body, he couldn't use those powerful magic weapons now, but he forgot that the materials of those magic weapons were so amazing that even if they were thrown out as ordinary weapons, they would still cause a lot of damage.
He rummaged through his Qiankun bag, and his face suddenly became bitter. He was used to stuffing everything into the square. Now that the square can't be opened, there are only a few bottles left in his Qiankun bag. The bigu pill and a few broken spirit stones that were stuffed in before...
"It doesn't matter, I still have it here." Seeing his brother's bitter expression, Xu Zirong couldn't help but chuckle. Taking the opportunity to hand over the weapon, he kissed his brother on the cheek.
Xu Ziyan rolled his eyes at this stinky boy who took the opportunity to wipe the oil, looked at the longbow in his hand and sighed silently.
Well, although it is not the dark gold longbow that I am used to, it is a handy weapon. With this longbow in hand, at least he has a certain ability to protect himself.
The two strolled around the residential area again and rushed to the dock area after finding that there was no new news.
The dock area is not prosperous. Judging from the boats that are transporting, it seems that there are some fresh fruits and vegetables, and the goods are not too much, so the two groups of anti-package workers are also very competitive.
When Xu Ziyan and the others arrived there, they were glaring at each other as they were scrambling to unload a shipment of rice. The group of rock monsters he had seen yesterday had now turned into a few sturdy men, standing on the dock and talking to each other. The leader of the other side argues hard.
Xu Ziyan looked at the new group of people. Contrary to his expectations, the new group of people didn't look like anti-package workers at all.
There were four of them, old and young, and even a slender woman.
Xu Ziyan's station is very close to them, so you can clearly see that the woman's face is fair and beautiful, her slender fingers are white and tender, and there is no calluses. No matter from which angle, she is a delicate young lady. , what kind of bag worker?
Surprisingly, this beautiful woman spoke vulgarly, and her movements were not at all feminine. Instead, she was more feminine than many modern women—well, in other words, from Xu Ziyan's point of view. Judging from it, it is like the soul of a big-footed man occupying this beautiful body!
"What did you find?" Xu Ziyan asked Xu Zirong.
Xu Zirong frowned: "These people all look pampered, they don't look like anti-contract workers, and the woman is even more outrageous, she is obviously a woman in appearance and appearance, but how can I dress and speak? There is half the attitude that a woman should have!"
"Seize the house?" Xu Ziyan asked in confusion.
Xu Zirong shook his head: "It's not like that." His eyes stayed on the woman for a while, his eyes swirling up and down, after a while, he turned around in confusion: "Brother, have you noticed that their Occasionally, the mannerisms get stiff. You see…" He pointed to the woman's right hand.
Xu Ziyan took advantage of the situation and saw that the woman's fingertips twitched slightly, then she wiped her face vigorously, and casually wiped sweat on her trousers.
If she is really a coolie who can resist the bag, this will be an extremely common action, but it is not so ugly to match such a charming girl.
"She seems to want to struggle..." Xu Zirong observed for a while and came to her own conclusion. "They feel to me like a group of marionettes, their behaviors are all controlled by an external force, but their self-awareness has not disappeared, and they can occasionally react. There will be a moment of hesitation when an action is completely inconsistent with his own personality.”
"Look..." Xu Zirong pointed out the hesitant movements of those people to Xu Ziyan. After observing for a while, Xu Ziyan confirmed Xu Zirong's inference.
The original identities of these four were definitely not bag-carrying workers, but extremely well-cultivated wealthy people—or monks.
But for some unknown reason, they became what they are now, using their original bodies to play a group of anti-contract workers, and even for such a small profit, they had to fight with another group of people on the dock side.
Does this have something to do with their dislike of the townspeople
