Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 830 The So-Called Immortality
Stand outside the altar.

Under such a clear consciousness, Nan Surou felt a strong and stale smell sweeping her whole body.

There has been no sunlight here for a long time, and there are gusts of wind from the cracks in the rock walls.

The mottled traces on the ground were like bloodstains left after sacrifices.

Surrounded by unlit candlesticks.

Looking at those weird things, Nan Surou couldn't help but said: "Is she really planning to cut me open?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Lingche turned his head, stared at her strangely for a while, and made a silent gesture to her.

Nan Surou wrote on Xiahou Lingche's hand: What are you looking at?
Xiahou Lingche frowned, and whispered, "Come with me."

"Where are you going?" Nan Surou asked puzzled.

Xiahou Lingche said softly, "Change to another place."

"Ah?" Before Nan Surou could react, she felt a gust of wind blowing on her face.

She was gently picked up by Xiahou Lingche again, and floated from the cave to a high place.

Because the roof of the cave is hollow, the vines of the plants outside spread into the cave. With the help of the power of the vines, Xiahou Lingche quickly sneaked to the top of the cave with Nan Surou.

But he didn't go straight out.

Shiyue is not a fool, to imprison Nan Surou here, naturally there are people guarding every exit.

Nan Su and Xiahou Lingche lurked at the top of the cave together, motionless.

The two of them seemed to be glued to the roof of the cave, facing the altar on the ground.

From such an angle, Nan Surou discovered that there were several human skeletons in the circular sacrificial pit.

The moment she looked into those empty eye sockets, Nan Surou seemed to be trapped in a magical illusion, as if all the experiences of the deceased were reenacted on her body.

That horrible experience made Nan Surou want to scream.

But before Nan Surou could cry out, Xiahou Lingche covered her mouth. He seemed to be jealous of something.

In short, the two of them dare not take a breath now.

Cold sweat broke out on Xiahou Lingche's forehead, and he suddenly looked at Nan Surou who was beside him.

At this moment, Nan Surou also looked at him. The moment the two looked at each other, they saw the fear and disgust in each other's eyes.

October……

No... She couldn't be called a human being at all. The so-called ceremony to ensure immortality was not for Xiahou Lingche's blessing, but for herself.

The sacrifice process was extremely profane and bloody.

Even though Nan Surou had seen all kinds of deaths in Sleepy Hollow, she had never seen such a cruel scene.

The skeletons in the sacrificial pit are all old women.

This place may exist in every life, but Xiahou Lingche is not very clear about it.

The woman below is the body that Shi Yue used to have, her body that was useless.

Now in October, that body is gradually going to be abolished.

This is the meaning of "old age" mentioned in October's words.

A horrifying idea grew wildly in Nan Surou's mind.

The reason why Shiyue wanted to raise Nan Surou so well, even to heal Nan Surou at the expense of her own power, was to treat Nan Surou's body as a new body.

No wonder October would do this to a complete stranger.

This is her real purpose.

Nan Surou couldn't help trembling all over.

Xiahou Lingche never let go of her hand covering Nan Surou's mouth, which made Nan Surou even more nervous, and her breathing became so disordered that she suffocated.

After finally calming down, Nan Surou noticed the mottled black around her, which was the blood that had once sprayed thinly.

Nan Surou never imagined that there would be such an evil magic trick in this world.

At this time, there was a sudden movement in the cave.

A black figure flashed in, looking furtive, as if sneaking in while the guards were changing shifts.

That person is holding a torch in his hand...

That person...is Yun Ai?

Nan Surou's eyes widened, and she glanced at Xiahou Lingche, Xiahou Lingche gave her an expression of not knowing.

What is Yunai doing here?

Yunai came to the altar quietly, looking like she was looking for something.

Because Nan Surou had already been released by Xiahou Lingche, Yun Ai couldn't find her now.

Yun Ai came to the altar, and there were no living things on the altar except the cold chains and cold utensils.

Unwilling to give up, Yunai jumped into the sacrificial pit and rummaged through the bones.

"Here...is the place to summon the god of death."

A faint voice echoed in the cave.

Yun Ai was taken aback suddenly, he quickly jumped out of the sacrificial pit full of bones.

The person who came was dressed in a snow-white robe, and he had been standing there for some time, if he hadn't spoken, Surou could hardly have noticed him.

The sense of existence is extremely weak, like a ghost.

Take a closer look, isn't that October?
She had a petite body and a beautiful face, but her loose robe was outlined by the wind, and she seemed to be wearing nothing under the robe.

"Aren't you old?" Yun Ai's voice contained trembling emotions. The fire pocket he used to search was released by his trembling hands and fell to the ground. The flame touched the cold stone bricks and was immediately extinguished.

"Eric, how did you escape from that yard?" October asked softly, and her tone made it impossible to feel her malice.

"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing, you monster, where did you hide Nan Surou?" Yun Ai didn't know where the courage came from, and he spoke without any sloppiness.

"Monster?" Shi Yue frowned slightly, and shifted her gaze to the altar, her soft and beautiful face turned hideous like a cracked mask, "Where did the people who should be here go?"

Hahahahaha-

Hearing Shi Yue's words, Yun Ai suddenly laughed mockingly. "Old thing, do you want to treat her as a new body? Do you think she is the same as the sacrifices you encountered before? She showed weakness in front of you and asked you to help her heal her illness. Then, she talked sweetly to you and finally ran away , you better find the next one."

"What do you... know?" Shi Yue's ferocious expression instantly softened, as if everything just now was just a dream.

"If people don't know, unless you do nothing, my mother accidentally became pregnant while escaping from your clutches, you disgusting guy." Yun Ai said angrily, "This ceremony requires you and that you The body you want to replace fits together, and what you do is a family relationship between men and women, but what you do is against the laws of nature. At the beginning, you were in a hurry to get a new body, and you didn't hold the ceremony at this well-prepared altar, so you did it outside temporarily. Naturally, the effect was not that good. My mother also ran away. She knew how to evade you, and even evaporated herself in the world. You couldn’t find her at all. I was just surprised that after so many years, your body turned It’s really surprising to me that it’s still going on until now.”
