With the words of the hairpin star, the next mural is easy to understand.

The few paintings after this seem to reflect the statement of the hairpin star. After the snake witch saint lived here, more and more people came to trade with her with various things. For example, a calf born from a cow in the family is offered in exchange for the gratifying growth of the crops the following year. There are also young daughters who gave Snake Wu a precious bracelet, hoping to marry a good man in the coming year.

Snake witches seem to be open to anyone, and they exchange everything from eggs from poor families to gold and silver from wealthy children. All things are traded for equal value, and both sides are happy.

Tian Fangfang touched her chin: This saintess of the snake witch clan seems to be quite capable.

Hairpin said: It may not be a good thing.

What do you mean? Meng Dong asked.

Gu Baiying stared at the mural on the wall, and said lightly: People are greedy, and doing this may lead to disaster.

Mu layerxiao pointed to the painting in front of him and said, Look behind you.

After painting a few pictures of such various transactions, the picture changed again. A man who looked like a wealthy businessman was standing in front of the snake witch. There were various precious jewels in the box in front of him. He pointed at another person in the distance, looking very angry, and holding a knife in his hand.

This is. Meng Ying said hesitantly, Want the snake witch to harvest people's lives for him?

The hairpin star's heart sank.

Sure enough, at the end of the equivalent exchange, there will always be opportunities for some wicked people to take advantage of. It is inevitable that it will not be used by people with a heart. In the beginning, I just wanted my family to get better, my crops would grow better, and I wanted to marry a good husband. Later, it may become a life of one person, and his whole family to be unlucky, which is better than him. of people disappeared

Human nature has both good and evil, and greed can never stand the test.

The snake witch seems to have refused. Tian Fangfang said.

Hairpin star continued to look at the mural, and sure enough, in this picture, the snake witch did not seem to agree to this person's request. The man returned with gold and silver in his arms unwillingly.

The snake witch does not agree to any deal, some agree, others refuse. It seems that the only person who makes a deal with her can only be the trader himself, such as what should I do. And she will ignore other people's changes as the transaction price, such as what I want him to be.

This snake witch is quite clear in her heart. Tian Fangfang praised.

Hairpin Xing shook his head: It's too late.

The murals that followed were very scribbled, as if they were done in a hurry. The snake witch seemed to become very weak, sitting on the high seat, someone came to her with gold and silver. When the snake witch turned around, the man jumped up from behind and stabbed her in the back with a knife.

The hairpin stared wide-eyed.

The snake witch fell down, and many people rushed in. They took away the snake stick in the snake witch's hands. The picture was painted here, and it was so random that it was almost impossible to see clearly, and then it disappeared.

After reading all the murals, everyone fell silent.

This story is not difficult to guess. The saintess of the snake witch tribe protect the civilians in Wufan City. The civilians offer melons and fruits. The snake witch protects the safety of the civilians and helps them drive out evil beasts. The snake witch has a snake staff, which seems to contain spiritual power, which can help people achieve their dreams. The snake witch and the commoners used this snake rod to trade, but people were greedy. The commoners were no longer satisfied with their small wishes, and wanted more and more. In the end, people whose desires were not satisfied killed the snake together. Wu, snatched her snake staff.

Could this be what happened before this place? Meng Ying pondered for a while: According to the murals, the snake witch died at the hands of civilians in Wufan City long ago. Then what happened to the saintess we saw before? thing?

There are two possibilities, Gu Baiying brushed his fingers across the mural and lowered his eyes, Wufan City is not only a saint, there is also a possibility that the snake witch back then has become a demon.

That's right! Tian Fangfang slapped her hand: Death at the hands of the protected civilians, if I am this snake witch, I will not be reconciled, maybe she will leave the curse like this and turn the entire Wufan city into a condensed demonic energy. Monster. That's why the Wufan City we see during the day is different from the Wufan City we see at night.

A monster condensed with demonic energy? Mu Shexiao wondered.

Tian Fangfang looked at the hairpin star: Isn't that the way the demon mound that junior sister met in the Sumeru mustard picture before?

Hairpin Xing couldn't help but fight a cold war: Why are you so scary?

Tian Fangfang was about to speak, when she heard a sudden scream from Mimi in the corner, Hairpin Xing was startled, looked at Mimi, and Mimi jumped on her shoulders, now the Qiankun bag can't be opened, this It is also impossible for the fat cat to return to the Qiankun bag to be lazy.

Mu layerxiao's expression froze: Why is there so much sand on the ground?

The ground of the palace was originally paved with extra-smoothly polished stones, with dense patterns carved on it, but now, at some point, it has been covered with a fine layer of yellow sand.

It wasn't there when I came here just now, Mendong tugged at the corner of Gu Baiying's clothes: Isn't the sand going up by itself?

Gu Baiying was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly changed, and said, No, it's not that the sand is rising, it's the altar that is sinking!

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire temple suddenly tilted to the left, as if the temple had turned into a boxy stone and was thrown into the dry swamp, in a kind of The irresistible stance sinks slowly.

Meng Ying ran to the door of the temple, pushed it hard, and turned around and said, Uncle, the door is locked and can't be opened!

After they entered the hall, they didn't feel anyone's breath, nor did they notice anyone coming, but the door of the hall was silently closed.

There is something wrong with this altar. Gu Baiying said coldly: The ground is sinking faster and faster, run up!

The whole hall seems to be completely overturned, and it is sinking into the depths of the heart little by little. There is a step up in the hall. Hairpin Xing followed behind Gu Baiying, and only took two steps, suddenly felt a violent shaking under his feet, and with a loud bang, the tall stone pillar in the middle of the palace smashed down from the middle, smashing the entire hundred jade steps. two paragraphs.

Meng Ying, Tian Fangfang, Mujiexiao and Mendong were on the steps. Seeing this, they quickly jumped into the corridor upstairs. Hairpin was running slowly. one head. Climbing up is impossible.

Uncle Shi! Mendong called out.

Keep going, don't mind me. Gu Baiying said coldly, then turned around and grabbed Xing Xing's arm: Go this way!
