Chapter 281 There Must Be Someone To Sacrifice

Strange, this crown looks like it is worn by a woman.

"The prayer is over, I have asked the ancestors' forgiveness."

Xia Xiaoxi turned her head, her eyes were very clear, she looked at Chen Xinyi and Di Jiuchen, and said, "Let's go up the mountain and open the tower of inheritance."

The group followed behind Xia Chengqi and Xia Xiaoxi, and climbed Stone Ghost Mountain step by step.

The mountain peak is steep, and after an hour, we reach the top of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain is a blue-grey ancient tower.

"Is it here?"

Chen Xinyi's face lit up immediately.

"Yes." Xia Xiaoxi nodded, pointed to the ancient pagoda in front of her, and said, "This is the closest one. The other stone ghost inheritance pagodas are a bit far away, so it's better to be close."

The Stone Ghost Inheritance Tower does not have a door, it is completely open, but it is dark inside.

Chen Xinyi was not at ease and said, "You two brothers and sisters walk ahead."

Xia Xiaoxi and Xia Chengqi did not refuse, they entered the ancient pagoda and led the way.

Chen Xinyi and her granddaughter Lu Xueshang were very cautious and followed closely behind the Xia brothers and sisters, only stepping on the footprints they walked, and never stepping anywhere else.

Chen Xinyi even instructed Lu Xueshang to leave a mark along the way, leaving enough for herself.

The ancient pagoda is very deep. After walking about 1000 meters, Xia Xiaoxi stopped.

What appeared in front of everyone was a gate about ten meters high.A very luxurious crown is engraved in the center, the crown is like a swan, and a very beautiful ruby ​​is engraved in the center.Below the crown, there are more than a dozen faintly raised spikes.

Next to the crown carving, there are intricate Sanskrit characters, twists and turns, like a tadpole, with a simple, heavy and mysterious atmosphere.

"It's here."

Xia Xiaoxi pointed to the huge door and said, "After entering, it is the seventh trial of the Stone Ghost Inheritance Tower."

"Trial?"

Jiang Louyue looked at the little girl in surprise and asked, "What trial?"

"The stone ghost crown you want is the crown of our ancestor ghost king in the past. It is a supreme treasure. Only those who have passed all the seven trials can get it."

Xia Xiaoxi's eyes dimmed, and she put one hand on her chest with a pious expression, and said, "The Stone Ghost Inheritance Pagoda is originally the wealth of my Xia tribe, and it is the existence established by the ghost king in the past to nurture successors, but let it go. You villains have succeeded, and you have truly embarrassed our ancestors."

"Haha." Chen Xinyi sneered, without concealing her sarcasm, and said, "We embarrassed the ghost king? Little girl, the one who really embarrassed the ghost king is you, the traitor, who brought us in!"

Xia Xiaoxi's face was as pale as death, and she lowered her head in shame, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"The place has been brought to you, now you can get rid of the sub-gu on my sister's body?"

Xia Chengqi stared at Chen Xinyi with burning eyes and made a request.

"Remove the Gu?" Chen Xinyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't be kidding, once the mother-child Gu is planted, it cannot be lifted at all."

Xia Chengqi was angry: "You old witch! The death rate of the Stone Ghost Inheritance Tower is [-]%. If you fail to enter the experience and die on the spot, won't my sister also be implicated by you?!"

"The mortality rate is [-]%?" Chen Xinyi changed color slightly.

"Yes."

Xia Xiaoxi stretched out a hand, grabbed the angry elder brother, raised her head, looked at Chen Xinyi, Lu Xueshang, Di Jiuchen, and Jiang Louyue, and said with a rare serious expression, "If you don't do anything anyway To obtain the stone ghost crown, one must be prepared to die. In the 1000-year inheritance of the ghost king, there has never been a person of the Xia clan who has been able to experience the sixth floor and obtain the stone ghost crown. The inheritance tower is divided into seven floors. The realm of hell, the second realm of hungry ghosts, the third realm of beasts, the fourth realm of Asuras, the fifth realm of human beings, the sixth realm of stone ghosts, and the seventh realm of heaven."

"The realm of hell, the realm of hungry ghosts, the realm of beasts, the realm of Asura, the realm of the human world, and the realm of heaven, aren't they the six realms in rumors?"

Di Jiuchen frowned slightly, with a look of doubt in his black eyes, and said, "Why do you clan of stone ghosts want to insert a layer of stone ghosts between the earthly way and the heavenly way?"

Xia Xiaoxi raised her head slightly, her eyes were full of longing and admiration, and her expression was extremely pious, she said, "Because the Stone Ghost Road is an existence beyond the human world, there is a saying in ancient books that as long as you reach the sixth floor of the Stone Ghost Road, you will get immortality. The secret of immortality, becoming an existence that surpasses human beings!"

Immediately afterwards, Xia Xiaoxi sighed softly, and said regretfully: "Unfortunately, I entered the inheritance tower to practice in the past, but I only persisted to the third level of the animal way, and then I failed."

All eyes fell on this seemingly weak girl.

"In the history of the Xia Clan, apart from the ghost king who conquered the world 1000 years ago who reached the fifth level of the human world, there are two other great powers who have reached the fourth level of the Shura way. The rest are similar to me. The third layer, being oblivious to everyone, is doomed to be mediocre for a lifetime."

"Do you mean that even the legendary ghost king has only reached the fifth floor of the human world, but not the sixth floor of the stone ghost and the seventh floor of the heavenly way?"

"Yes."

"Then how can you be sure that the sixth layer of Stone Ghost Road can make people immortal?"

"I'm not sure. The power of immortality is nothing but prophecies and legends in ancient books." Xia Xiaoxi corrected.

"very good."

A satisfied arc appeared on Chen Xinyi's face, and she said, "Girl, open this door. Since you have experienced it and reached the third floor, you must know how to open it."

Xia Xiaoxi lowered her head and silently said one word: "Blood."

"what?"

"Sacrificing a slave with blood is enough." Xia Xiaoxi's voice was obviously so delicate, but at this moment, in the dark and empty hall, it looked creepy.

Every daughter of inheritance bears sins on her body.

In the past years, when she entered the Stone Ghost Inheritance Tower for training, her mother had killed a slave and shed blood, leaving Shimen with blood.

"But we don't have slaves here." Lu Xueshang subconsciously replied.

Chen Xinyi's lips curled into a cold smile, and said, "I think it doesn't matter if it's not a slave. Among us, there must be one person who has to sacrifice."

Dead silence.

Sacrifice who?
Chen Xinyi, Di Jiuchen, Jiang Louyue, Lu Xueshang, Xia Xiaoxi, Xia Chengqi?
The six people looked at each other, each of them hiding a monster in their hearts, and everyone's eyes became meaningful.

Six pairs of eyes, twelve cold glows, and ghosts are hidden in my heart.

A strong wind flashed by, and Di Jiuchen and Chen Xinyi, two people with the highest cultivation base, shot at the same time.

Chen Xinyi's claws stretched out to the thin little boy Xia Chengqi, while Di Jiuchen's palm ignited a flame full of dark aura, hitting Chen Xinyi's heart.
