close to unscientific

Now that they have come here, even if what awaits them ahead is a bloodbath, they cannot give up halfway.

Yin Haoran and Gu Runan walked up the stone steps step by step.

With this dim light, Yin Haoran vaguely saw the spiral upward stairs under his feet. The bottom and both sides are empty, and there are jagged and sharp rocks all over the ground. was also stabbed to death.

Yin Haoran even felt that this was the conspiracy of the black-robed man—they would collapse halfway along the road.

But they kept climbing and climbing and climbing...

Three hours later, Yin Haoran sat on the steps and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The people of the Shi family are too vicious, right?"

This is not to throw him to death, but to exhaust him to death!

He has good reason to think so.

Shangling Mountain is not so high at all, it is impossible to climb for so long without reaching the end.

The most important thing is that he was dizzy when he climbed - he usually climbs a mountain or something, and he can still see the scenery, but now the surrounding is pitch black, he can't see anything, he can only go up in circles, Really dizzy.

Gu Run'an did not pull him up, but looked around.

There is indeed something strange here.

It should be a phantom array.

It's just not to trap them here, but... It seems to prevent them from going up.

The head of the Shi family doesn't seem like someone who would do such a boring thing.

And since he sent someone to bring Yin Haoran and himself here to see them, how could he stop them.

Who is that?

What is the purpose of doing this?

Yin Haoran saw his solemn expression, so he asked him what happened.

Gu Runan told Yin Haoran of his discovery.

Yin Haoran immediately jumped up, "It doesn't matter who did it or what it was for, I only know that we came here today to see that man in black robe."

There is one more thing Yin Haoran didn't say, that is, he wanted to stop that man in black from continuing to do evil.

But he actually didn't have that confidence, and he didn't know if he could do it.

Even with Gu Runan, he dare not say that they will win.

But just like before, Sun Haiming knew that he was no match for the black-robed people, and he must follow them... Although he is not from the Taoism world, as a person, he should do something and not do something.

Now is the time for them to do something, even if they die, they must do it.

He believed that Gu Run'an thought the same way.

So when he said these words, he carried an indomitable momentum.

And as soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a heavy fog had been lifted before his eyes, revealing the original face of this world.

They were indeed standing on a road emitting a hazy light, and the surrounding scenery was no different from just now.

It's just that they climbed for three hours in vain, and the current position is less than ten steps away from the three uncles.

The respectful expressions on the faces of the three people were gone, and instead they were replaced by impatient expressions.

—Anyone who sees others walking in place for two or three hours will have little patience.

But these two people didn't do anything else, and they didn't dare to make a noise in the place where the Patriarch was, so they could only do this and watch.

Yin Haoran was originally angry because he had been walking in the same place for so long, but when he saw the expressions of these three people who were angry but could not speak, he felt it was worth it.

So he and Gu Run'an held hands and climbed up again.

This time things were much more normal, and the two of them only walked up for about an hour before they came to an end.

It is said to be the end, but it is actually a circular platform built on the steps.

The platform is not too big, but compared with the width of the stone steps below, it is a bit big.

If you want to describe it, it's like a toothpick with a one-dollar coin on it.

This made Yin Haoran very worried about the firmness and balance of the platform.

But even if you are worried, you still have to go up.

Because the man in black was indeed standing on the platform, waiting for them.

However, the first thing Yin Haoran and Gu Runan paid attention to was not the man in black, but the seven candles that were as tall as an adult and carved in the shape of a human being lit at the edge of the platform.

The carving is really too detailed, not to mention the eyebrows and eyes, even the hair is the same as the real one.

At this moment, the seven candles are burning, but the light they emit is not warm and soft, but has a strange faint blue color on the contrary.

When Gu Run'an saw the seven candles, although his face was still expressionless, there was anger in his eyes.

This candle was only used in human sacrifices in the ancient Taoist world, and it was only used in extremely vicious human sacrifices.

Because these candles are made of people, or living people.

So candles are also called human candles.

Its production process is extremely complicated and extremely cruel.

These people have great regrets or tragedies in their lives, and then voluntarily sacrifice them in order to get their wishes fulfilled or to exchange for something.

Afterwards, these people have to fast for seven days. During these seven days, they can only drink the dew on the tip of the grass to wash their bodies clean.

This is not the end, after all, although the human body has oil, it is impossible to burn like this.

These people have to eat fat for 49 days, and these days will be soaked in fat.

And these oils are not ordinary things, they are specially extracted corpse oils!

And wanting to make so much corpse oil is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time.

As a result, quite a few people took crooked ways and specially harmed people to do this.

And if you want to make these seven candles, you don't just need seven people.

The success rate of human candles is not even one percent.

Because people are actually very strange things. One may die or live for a relationship today, but tomorrow they may simply forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

Or something happened, and I felt that it was definitely going to die, I couldn’t get through it, I was so pessimistic, disappointed, sad and painful that I wanted to die... But when I look back after a few days, I feel that I was like a stupid B.

What is even more unacceptable is that swallowing these corpse oils will experience the greatest pain these people have suffered in their lives.

Even if it is just an illusion, it is enough to make people collapse.

What's more, with the contrast in the hallucination, many people will still think that compared with my business, my business is not a problem at all.

So after undergoing such torture, most people can't hold on.

Many people commit suicide directly at this step.

There are also people with strong minds who survived and thought about quitting.

But the corpse oil is not so delicious, if you want to give up halfway, your soul will be devoured by the owner of the corpse oil.

No one can hold on to it.

Even in the end, when the human candle is made, the sacrifice is not only the body, but also the soul.

This human candle uses the body as the oil and the soul as the core, which is why it has such a color.

In other words, people who become human candles will lose their souls and have no future.

And their regrets and tragedies, if they are kinder people, they will complete them for them.

Can a person who can be a candle be a kind person?

When people die, their souls are gone, so what can be used to supervise such people to do things for them.

So die and die.

It's that cruel.

It is also because of this that the Taoism world set the method of making human candles as a forbidden technique thousands of years ago.

If someone makes a human candle, then everyone in the Taoist world will get it and punish him.

So for thousands of years, no one has ever refined this kind of thing. I didn't expect him to see it here today.

However, the Patriarch of the Shi family would not feel strange about what he did.

I just saw human candles and thought of human sacrifices.

Could it be that, as Yin Haoran said, the man in black wants him to be a sacrifice.

Thinking of this, Gu Runan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

Although Yin Haoran didn't know the origin of Renzhu, but looking at Gu Run'an's eyes, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing.

And there must be lives among them.

But because he didn't know how cruel it was, he didn't focus entirely on these candles, but swept across an altar surrounded by candles in the middle.

The altar is not very grand, nor is it exquisite.

It looked like an ordinary white stone platform, but the stone platform was also emitting light, and the degree of light was brighter than the seven candles and the steps under their feet.

But even so, it is difficult to illuminate the things placed on the stone platform.

That thing is like a black hole, absorbing the light of the candle and the stone platform.

That is to say, Yin Haoran's eyes are so good that he can vaguely see that it is a human head with loose long hair and closed eyes.

Yin Haoran subconsciously thought of the stone painting at the end of the cave they passed by at first.

There was a person on it, who was divided into seven pieces and sacrificed in different places.

Couldn't this be the place where the man's head was placed?

But why did he feel that this head seemed familiar?

But it was still too dark for him to see clearly.

What's more, the Patriarch of the Shi family had already walked towards the two of them, focusing their attention on him.

And the expression on his face was not the contempt that you were already dead, but a warm smile.

This smile is very gentle. If he didn't know that the person in front of him had killed countless people, and the murders on his body could blind Sun Hai, Yin Haoran would definitely feel that this person is very friendly.

And hit it off with them.

But he knows those things.

He also knew that the forearm that was missing in his empty half sleeve was cut off by Gu Run'an.

So the appearance of this black-robed man looks more terrifying to Yin Haoran.

Also disgusting.

So he said directly, "You better stop laughing, it doesn't match your personality."

The man in black didn't quite understand the meaning of human design, but he could hear the strong sarcasm in Yin Haoran's tone, but the expression on his face didn't change at all.

He even said to Yin Haoran and Gu Run'an in a good voice, "You two came from the same way, you should be tired, and you should prepare a little tea and rice for the two of you..."
