Chapter 2173: IQ Was Very Important
When Gu Rui heard Cheng Mingzi say that he would face backlash from the life-death bell, his expression was very ugly. He looked at the small crack on the life-death bell and turned his head to look at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu shrugged and spread her hands. She said with a sincere expression, “It’s such a pity.”
Ning Shu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Anyway, someone had already been sacrificed and Gu Rui could only sacrifice one soul at a time. She wasn’t afraid anymore.
Gu Rui asked Cheng Mingzi, “Can’t we sacrifice two people?”
Cheng Mingzi shook his head. “If there are two souls in the life-death bell, they will fight with each other. This will affect the young master’s control over the life-death bell.”
Ning Shu frowned. Could it be that the soul wouldn’t immediately disappear after being swallowed by the life-death bell?
“Thank you, Taoist Cheng,” Gu Rui said. He picked up the book that had been dropped by Mo Juechen.
Ning Shu clicked her tongue. So in the end, the result of Mo Juechen’s hard work was reaped by another.
Maybe Gu Rui was the one who tricked Mo Juechen.
That was why IQ was very important. Mo Juechen trusted his own strength too much and he was taken advantage of by more intelligent people.
“Young Master Gu, is it possible to find what this humble taoist is looking for now?” Cheng Mingzi asked.
Gu Rui nodded. “Naturally, Taoist Cheng. Do you know where it is?” Gu Rui asked.
“Since the grass is so green and lush, it must be here,” Cheng Mingzi said while stroking his beard.
Gu Rui nodded. He raised the life-death bell and shook it. There was no sound, but the monsters all stared blankly at the bronze bell.
Gu Rui shook the life-death bell rhythmically while he chanted.
The monsters immediately dispersed and appeared to be looking for something.
Ning Shu looked at the monsters and Gu Rui with vigilance.
Gu Rui had already mastered control over this group of monsters?
Gu Rui ignored Ning Shu. He seemed to have given up on killing her.
Despite this, Ning Shu’s heart still pounded and her sense of danger didn’t diminish at all.
Ning Shu didn’t think Gu Rui would let her leave the tomb alive.
“Taoist Cheng, where do you think it is?” Gu Rui calmly asked Cheng Mingzi.
Cheng Mingzi flicked his horsetail whisk. “No matter what, it’s in this tomb.”
Gu Rui thought for a bit and then went to the hall where the coffin was placed.
Ning Shu also followed. She looked at the gorgeous coffin. It had been over two hundred years, but the ceramic-glazed coffin was still as beautiful as if it was new.
“Taoist Cheng, could it be in the state preceptor’s mouth?” Gu Rui asked.
When the ancients were entombed, something valuable would be placed in their mouth.
It couldn’t be that Gu Rui wanted to pry open the coffin, right?
For some reason, Ning Shu always felt that Gu Rui felt something like disgust towards this state preceptor.
He could enter this tomb and open a coffin without any psychological burden.
“I don’t think we should. This place is still on corpse-raising ground. If the coffin is opened and the corpse inside senses us, things will definitely be bad.” Ning Shu objected.
Gu Rui narrowed his eyes and ignored Ning Shu. Instead, he said to Cheng Mingzi, “Taoist Cheng, what do you think?”
“This poor Taoist thinks that there is little chance of it being in his mouth. If it was in his mouth, green grass and flowers wouldn’t grow here,” Cheng Mingzi shook his head and said.
Ning Shu: …
Did they just treat her like an invisible person?
Ning Shu still wanted to know what Cheng Mingzi was looking for.
Whatever it was, it could make the grass and plants here grow normally. It had to be some kind of treasure.
Gu Rui shook the life-death bell and the monsters returned.
