Junior Disciple C

Chapter 113

"Living people... offering sacrifices to living people..." Fang Yang repeated in a murmur.

Although he had vaguely guessed a little bit, he still felt shudder when he heard it.

Compared with Fang Yang's unheard of shock, Cao Zirui was much calmer. He had read poetry and books since he was a child, and he had read about such things as human sacrifices in books. His reaction at that time was not much better than Fang Yang's.

But after all, he has already experienced it once, so he still has the leisure to comfort Fang Yang at this moment: "These human animals used as sacrifices are usually slaves or prisoners of war. In some countries in ancient times, their status was similar to that of livestock. But it’s much better now, and the use of living sacrifices has long since ceased to exist.”

"Yes, it's all in the past, and Xiqiang has been extinct for more than 1000 years." Old Uncle Sun also comforted him.

"I know, I just... just... I can't imagine..." Fang Yang whispered.

Before today, he never thought that there would be such a cruel sacrifice method in the world.

But after calming down for a while, Fang Yang also got better. The ghost refining formation in Xiqiang was made with living people, and the sacrifices were also made with living people, which doesn't sound strange.

He shook his head, feeling that his performance was too fussy, and he really didn't look like an upright man, so he interrupted what Cao Zirui and Old Uncle Sun were still trying to comfort, and changed the subject and shouted at Feng Ye: "Senior brother, here Isn't it the location of... what shall we do next?"

Although he didn't know why they came to Longqiu at first, after a few days of walking together, Fang Yang probably knew that they came here to find Xiyang.Because Uncle Sun is also here, Fang Yang deliberately omitted the word "Xi Rang".

He successfully diverted the attention of Cao Zirui and Uncle Sun to Feng Ye, and everyone waited for Feng Ye to reply.

However, Feng Ye stood motionless on the spot, staring at Jiubuya with blank eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Hao Chen, who was still standing next to Feng Ye, reached out and poked his shoulder, and Feng Ye regained consciousness as if he had just woken up from a dream.

After a brief daze, he quickly concealed the gaffe on his face and asked, "What did you just say?"

Fang Yang repeated the question again.

"This..." Feng Ye thought for a while, although this is where Xi Rang is, how to get it is another problem.The power of the breath soil covers the entire Longqiu, but the body may only be the size of a palm.Even though the scope has been narrowed down, it is still looking for a needle in a haystack. I don't know where Xi Rang is hiding. It will take a lot of effort to find it. They probably won't be able to leave in a short time.

So Feng Ye replied: "We are going to stay in this mountain for a while, what do you say, old man Sun?"

Uncle Sun waved his hand quickly: "I can't stay long, my wife is still waiting for me to go back for dinner."

"Ah, are you leaving now?" When Fang Yang heard that Uncle Sun was leaving, he was still thinking about it.

Old Uncle Sun was also obsessed with it, feeling that he had picked up a fat grandson for nothing, he rubbed Fang Yang's head: "It's getting late, old man, I'm no better than you young people, I have to walk halfway to go back God, it’s not easy to walk on the mountain road when it’s dark. Now that I’ve brought you to your destination, it’s time for me to go too.”

Fang Yang heard the same thing, it was too dangerous for an old man to walk the mountain road after dark, so he didn't want to keep him anymore, and said goodbye, "Old man Sun, be careful on the road!"

Uncle Sun waved to Fang Yang cheerfully. Before leaving, he even pointed out the way for a few people: "This direction is the direction of our village, but it's a bit far from here. The other side..."

He pointed to the direction opposite to the direction Feng Ye and his party took when they entered Longqiu: "There is also a market town over there, which is relatively close to this place. If you want to get out of the mountain as soon as possible, go there."

"Understood, thank you, Old Uncle Sun." Fang Yang thanked Old Man Sun obediently, and then personally saw Old Uncle Sun off for a while, until he couldn't deliver any more, then he ran back to join the others.

The outsiders have already left, so they can discuss Xiyang without any scruples.

So Fang Yang ran back and asked, "Brother, how can I find Xi Rang?"

He stared at Feng Ye with sparkling eyes, and he felt that since Brother Waste Chai came here for Xi Yang, there must be a way to find Xi Yang.

However...Feng Ye really had no choice.

Just as he cannot rain, he is not omnipotent.He really didn't know how to find Xi Rang, and what he came here was to take a step at a time.

However, the road came to an end, and the solution hadn't been thought of yet. To be honest, it seemed that he was a little sorry for Fang Yang's expectations, so Feng Ye fell into silence.

After waiting for a long time for an answer, Fang Yang's expectant eyes turned into doubts.

Cao Zirui looked around, and from Feng Ye's silence, he had a vague glimpse of the truth.

He touched the small jar at his waist, and found that the original one was broken. Fortunately, there were other jars in his storage bag, so he used them to decorate the wood.

At that time, Jianmu was almost snatched away by that black snake that came from nowhere, but it was Feng Ye who stopped him.This is enough to show that although Feng Ye's identity is a mystery and his strength is far from that of an ordinary junior disciple, no matter what the reason why Feng Ye is looking for Xi Rang, he must not be rushing to snatch Jian Mu.

Since it is not an enemy, then...

Cao Zirui suddenly broke the silence and said, "I have a solution."

All eyes turned to him.

Before Cao Zirui left, Ji Chengyue told him many things, among them was the way to find Xi Yang.

How Ling Yun found Xi Rang is not recorded in the file, and outsiders do not know, but this does not include Ji Chengyue.

No matter how Ling Yun is now, there is no secret at all between Ling Yun and Ji Chengyue's close brothers. Ling Yun once told Ji Chengyue about his experience of looking for Xi Rang, and Ji Chengyue told Cao Zirui about this experience.

Cao Zirui roughly repeated Ji Chengyue's words: "Xi soil is soil, and it is soil that is no different from ordinary soil in terms of appearance. The only way to distinguish it is its incomparable vitality."

"As for the mountain forest in Longqiu, affected by the soil, the vitality of the soil is a bit higher than that of other places, but even so, there must be a piece of vitality in this land. All the soil in Longqiu is far stronger than that of other places. No, that is Xi Yang’s body.”

Cao Zirui finally got to the point: "When the former head was looking for Xi Yang, he also thought of many ways. In the end, he saw a formation that could detect vitality in an ancient book. The range of the formation is limited. He was in Longqiu It took more than a dozen times to finally find Xiyang.”

"A dozen times?" Fang Yang exaggeratedly read out, this doesn't sound like a small project, it seems that it took them a long time to find Xiyang.

Cao Zirui saw Fang Yang's thoughts, but shook his head, and denied, "That's because he didn't know where Xiyang was in Longqiu, so he could only look for it inch by inch, but we are different. The piece of land is the approximate location of Xiyang, and we only need to deploy the formation once to cover this area."

"Then what are you waiting for? Do you want my help?" Fang Yang immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to help Cao Zirui set up the formation.

Cao Zirui sighed, and explained to the impatient Fang Yang: "It's not working now, the formation is not activated by spiritual power, but by Yuehua."

"Yuehua?" Fang Yang wondered, what is this thing.

"It's moonlight." Feng Ye explained concisely.

After hearing this, he probably understood.He asked Cao Zirui, "Do you need to prepare anything else?"

Cao Zirui shook his head: "No need."

Ji Chengyue had prepared the materials needed to set up the formation for him before he set off, and now everything is ready, only the moon is owed.

"That means we have to wait until it gets dark." Feng Ye said clearly, "Then let's take a rest where we are. It's only noon now. Let's recover our spirits and act again at night."

"Okay!" Fang Yang agreed.

After finishing speaking, he took Cao Zirui's hand and ran to the edge of the Jiubu cliff together, stretching his neck and looking down.

He didn't try to walk up the Jiubu Cliff again. Now that he knew what it was for, he had a shadow in his heart.

But at the same time, he was very curious, and wanted to see if there were any bones at the bottom of the cliff, so he dragged Cao Zirui to accompany him.

The two chattered and whispered on the edge of the cliff.

Feng Ye looked around, found a thick old tree, and walked over.

He leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes, and prepared to rest for a while.

However, as soon as he sat down, Hao Chen approached him very bluntly, and sat down beside him, with his thighs touching his thighs.

Feng Ye had no choice but to move to the side to give Hao Chen room.

Hao Chen didn't follow suit, he knew that the dragon was deliberately keeping a distance from him now, if he pressed too hard, maybe Feng Ye would remember the rejection that he didn't have time to say just now.

So he sat obediently, without any physical contact with Feng Ye.

Feng Ye closed his eyelids.

"Cough cough." Hao Chenqing coughed.

Feng Ye had to open his eyes that had just been closed. He looked sideways at Hao Chen and asked.

"Friend Feng Ye, what do you think about this Western Qiang Imperial City...?" Hao Chen asked.

He had already discovered that there was something wrong with this dragon. When he first saw the broken stone pillar engraved with the snake god Naga, Feng Ye was a little lost. When he saw the Jiubuya just now, Feng Ye was in a trance again.

This dragon must have had some connection with the Western Qiang Imperial City.Hao Chen deduced in his heart.

Now that the people in the way are gone, he can finally ask.

"I have no idea." Feng Ye moved his gaze to Jiubuya not far away, and he replied seemingly casually.

"The truth?" Hao Chen asked, his expression was no longer as frivolous as usual, he was asking seriously.

Feng Ye fell silent.

His lips were drawn into a line, a line that seemed to be stuck with the stickiest glue in the world.

Hao Chen waited patiently for a while, but Feng Ye still refused to speak.

He probably knew that there was no way to answer the question, and he sighed inwardly, feeling that he had a long way to go.

He followed Feng Ye and looked in the direction of Jiubuya, and suddenly asked: "Jiubya... because people can only walk nine steps on it, it is called Jiubuya. This name is too casual. Isn’t it going to be called Ten Step Cliff? Everyone’s steps are different, so can people with long legs and short legs take the same steps? Has no one ever walked the tenth step on it?”

At the end of the sentence, his tone was already a little joking.

But Feng Ye didn't laugh, nor did he answer.

Hao Chen originally wanted to make Long happy, but he found that he was the only one who was happy, so he couldn't stop laughing, so he rubbed his nose embarrassingly, and shut up.

He sat quietly under the tree, looking at the two teenagers who did not know what they were talking together, and the loud laughter could be heard from here, and then grabbed a handful of children at his feet. Green grass, whether the number is odd or even, boring to pass the time.

"some."

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Ye suddenly said something.

It was so long that Hao Chen almost forgot his question.

He recalled for a while before he remembered what Feng Ye was answering with "some".

Has anyone walked the tenth step on the nine-step cliff?

some.
