Chapter 30 Altar

A new day, Yan Gao died.

This news was told to Lin Tianyao by Yu Ji. At that time, even Yan Gao had been buried, and the hostility of others was clearly on their faces. They skipped Lin Tianyao without telling them anything.

But Lin Tianyao didn't care. Even if this side mission failed, he wouldn't lose much. Human nature is more terrifying than anything else. Lin Tianyao himself understands that no matter how friendly he and Yu Ji are on the surface, they are just strangers who suddenly entered the territory of this academy, not to mention that he has no intention of integrating here.

"What should we do now?"

"Didn't I tell you to be an outsider?"

"Sir, what do you mean, sit on the sidelines?"

Lin Tianyao did not answer, but smiled enigmatically. There was no way out of this place, and among the eight survivors, one was a murderer. What secrets did the old master hide?

"If we let them go, he will be the last one left."

Yu Ji never expected that Lin Tianyao would say such words with such indifference, but upon further reflection, it seemed that Lin Tianyao had never been very keen on this detective game.

"Come on, there's one man who must know everything."

Lin Tianyao stretched out his hand to Yu Ji, and this time Yu Ji held the hand.

Lin Tianyao's idea was simple. He took Yu Ji directly to the old master.

They have been here for four days. The old master deliberately trapped them here. The longer they are delayed, who knows what will happen. Lin Tianyao felt that the old master knew everything, but he just didn't say it on purpose.

This time he knocked directly on the master's door. Surprisingly, the master was not in the room.

Lin Tianyao and Yu Ji looked at each other, both a little uneasy, but if the old master was not there, Lin Tianyao simply opened the mechanism and took Yu Ji to Nuwa's secret passage.

The secret passage still looked the same. However, when he reached the end of the secret passage, Lin Tianyao was a little surprised. There was an altar-like thing placed beside the statue. It seemed that it had been put up in the past few days. There was nothing on it. Things like the Mingzhu Incense Burner look quite scary. There is only one plate with three crystals in it.

Lin Tianyao looked at the crystals with some vigilance. He was really sensitive to crystals.

But those crystals were different from those dropped by Xiang Yu and Daji. They were colorless and transparent, and very small, not even as big as a fingernail.

Yu Ji also said that she had never seen such a thing. During Xiang Yu's battle, only Lin Tianyao was left on the battlefield. Yu Ji must have never seen the crystal.

At this time a voice rang out, it was the old master.

Lin Tianyao was shocked. He had already set up a spell outside the door, but he didn't feel it at all when the old master came in. At this time, the old master was not at all as fussy as usual, but he was very calm and had some so-called celebrity demeanor.

"These are souls, human souls." The old master came forward. Lin Tianyao and Yu Ji separated to the left and right, looking at him warily, but the old master just picked up a crystal at random and threw it on the There.

"What's the meaning."

"Three people died, their bodies were destroyed, and their souls turned into their original forms." The old master said to Lin Tianyao.

"You mean, these are the souls of Qin Fei, Yan He, Qin Ran and Yan Gao?" Lin Tianyao couldn't understand, "There are only three crystals here."

The old master gave him a meaningful look, "Some people are dead while alive, and some people are dead but still alive."

What famous quotes are you talking about at this time... Lin Tianyao suddenly reacted, "You mean, someone is pretending to be dead?" Who is it! Qin Fei, Yan and He were all examined by him, but Qin Ran was in full view of everyone, and then she was carried away, while Yan Gao did not let him touch her at all.

Is it Qin Ran or Yan Gao?

According to the methods often used in mystery novels, the murderer must be the one who pretended to be dead.

"Nu Wa, the ancient sacred goddess, is the one who nurtures all things." The old master suddenly said, "Nu Wa created the world in seven days, and created man on the first day." He pointed to the crystal placed in the altar and twisted it. A crystal, "The second day is chicken, the third day is sheep, the fourth day is pig, the fifth day is dog, and the next two days are cow and horse."

Lin Tianyao did not interrupt, he listened quietly to the old master's explanation.

"Nuwa made musical instruments and taught humans. Nuwa then led humans to build houses and hunt. Afterwards, Nuwa, who was called the Mother of Human Beings, completed her merits and returned to heaven to be canonized."

The old master finally turned around. He stared at Lin Tianyao and Yu Ji and asked.

"What would you have done if you were human back then."

"Me?" Lin Tianyao thought for a while. If his mother was going to leave, I'm afraid he wouldn't do anything too hard to keep her... "I don't know."

"I don't want her to go." Yu Ji was abandoned since she was a child, and her desire for family affection is probably much stronger than Lin Tianyao's.

"Exactly." The old master ignored Lin Tianyao's answer and continued, "People want to retain Nuwa. Once the great goddess Nuwa is gone, the weak human race will have to face ferocious beasts alone and hunt alone. Surviving alone, such a weak human being has no thick fur to defend himself, no fangs and claws to protect himself, how can he survive in a difficult environment. "

"The human race kept begging Nuwa, just like a child calling for its mother. Of course, Nuwa could not offend the race to which she devoted the most attention. She cut open her belly and pulled out her intestines. The intestines turned into many gods to guard the earth. "

Lin Tianyao only felt a little uncomfortable at first, but as soon as his intestines came out, he felt seriously uncomfortable. He had never heard such a story in the outside world.

However, the old master seemed to have seen through him and said, "Even in the outside world, there are such rumors. There are ten gods, named Nuwa's Intestines, who turned into gods and lived in the wilderness of Liguang, walking across the road."

etc! how would I not know! Why do you know that I don’t know? Lin Tianyao was stunned. This was the strangest thing he felt again after Zhuang Zhou. Are all the three sages in Jixia so powerful? Does the other world also know everything about it? So awesome?

But before he could express his surprise, suddenly, once again, light suddenly lit up on the mountain wall at the entrance to the secret room. The gems gradually lit up and gathered on the altar.

The light was so bright that it eventually condensed into a crystal. ....
