The more Xia Yu thought about it, the more excited he felt, and he immediately couldn't wait to act.

Find the statue first, then take the offering, and this is done this morning.

He was just about to leave when he heard the voice of the village chief.

"Hey, that gravedigger, where did you go, those corpses are almost stinking, why don't you hurry up and dispose of the corpses for me!"

As he spoke, he threw a few copper coins to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu reluctantly took the copper coin, and forgot that he still had work to do.

Xia Yu was a little depressed, although this gravedigger has all kinds of convenient places, but he still can't escape his daily work.

I had no choice but to agree, picked up the copper coins and went to work, went back to the cemetery to launch my wheelbarrow, and began to transport and bury the body.

As usual, he used the corpse picking skill on the corpse first, and the two villagers didn't have much oil and water, but they picked up an interesting thing from the Xuanniao.

[Night's Watch Lantern (Off-hand item)

Uses: Illuminates the surroundings, giving villagers within the lighting radius +1 morale and dark mob morale -1.

Item description: A lantern fueled with kerosene, can illuminate the surroundings in the dark night, human beings have an instinctive fear of darkness, this lantern can bring light, but also awaken the courage in people's hearts, in the long night, the night watchman only relies on this thing to have the courage to watch. 】

Xia Yuxin said that the skill of picking up corpses is really magical, the Xuanniao has been burned like this, and he can still find things from the corpse, but this thing is really useless to him, if he is a civilian, it is good to say, as a dark creature, this is useless.

He threw the lantern into the stone hut and began to dig a pit to bury people.

He was in a hurry to do something, and he didn't bother to dig a deep pit, he only dug a small pit one meter deep shallowly, optimistic that he could stuff the body into it, and he didn't even bother to use the coffin, so he threw the body directly into the pit, and buried the soil to be considered a life.

After burying the three corpses, it was just noon, and it was just in time to start his own mission.

Walking on the way to the village, Xia Yu still calculated in his heart, thinking about the seven or eight lying in the cave, if this was discovered by the people in the village and buried himself, it would be troublesome, even if he was a vampire.

It's best to find all the statue sacrifices in the afternoon, sacrifice a wave, strengthen it, and then discuss tactics with the dragoons, and do it tonight.

Xia Yu opened the human skin map while thinking, secretly remembered the location of the demon statue in his heart, and then walked into the village, walked to the location of the statue, and looked around, making Xia Yu speechless and not seeing anything, he took out the map again with some reluctance.

It's really here, how can there be nothing?

He checked the map again, the map marked the location of the demon statue, in reality it was located in the middle of the village, the two roads intersected to the four parts of the village, where Xia Yu stood, but it was a confluence of an intersection, not to mention the devil statue, there was not even a building.

Wait, Crossroads? Devil's Statue? He suddenly remembered that in Western myths and legends, the crossroads were the places where they met the devil, and people could trade with the devil at the crossroads through some kind of ritual, as if they were exchanging their souls for a wish.

He has seen similar plots in film and television dramas.

Why don't you wait until midnight to try again?

But if you want to do it tonight, it's too late, and if you really can't, you can only go to the shadow in the stone to sacrifice.

Xia Yu thought helplessly, let's look for the sacrifice first, according to the advice provided by the black cat, Xia Yu began to look for his 'insider'.

Blackstone Village is not very large, the whole village is less than a hundred villagers counting the elderly and children, and after walking around the village twice, he really found a suspicious target, just under a big tree, there is a sloppy and dirty old man, with messy gray hair, wearing a torn leather jacket, sleeping there at noon, holding an empty wine bottle in his arms.

Because Xia Yu is also a resident of the village, after careful observation for a while, the identity of the old man naturally popped up in Xia Yu's mind.

This old man should be the first group of residents of Heishi Village, no one knows how long he lived, he was stupid on weekdays, except for drinking, he lay down under the tree to sleep, and occasionally said some crazy words, some people saw that he was pitiful and gave him a little food, and the village chief also took care not to starve him to death.

His name has long been forgotten, and the people in the village call him the old fool.

The old man, the drunkard, the madman, the beggar - this person has almost all the elements that the black cat said, and the insider has not run away.

Xia Yu thought about it, he still had to use some skills to talk to this old man, turned around and entered the tavern, bought a bottle of ale wine from the tavern owner, and then went back to the hut and took out the bottle of wine that he had only drunk a sip of.

Walking to the old man's side, Xia Yu unscrewed the wine bottle, sprinkled a little on the old man, and then took a sip himself, smelling the wine, the old man suddenly woke up with a twitch of his nose, and looked at the wine bottle in Xia Yu's hand.

Xia Yu raised the wine bottle at the old man, "Hey old man, do you want to drink some?" ”

When the old man heard Xia Yu's words, he immediately showed a greedy gaze.

"Give me some, give me some."

Xia Yu didn't talk nonsense, and handed over the wine bottle.

The old fool greedily drank the ale wine in the bottle, drank it all in the blink of an eye, and looked at the wine in Xia Yu's hand after drinking.

Xia Yu didn't give it to him this time. "Before you drink, answer me a question, old man, do you know anything about the sacrifice?"

"Sacrifices? What sacrifice? “

"It is a sacrifice to God."

The old man looked disdainful, "Of course I know, people sacrifice to God with the blood of pure white lambs, what kind of problem is this, fools know everything, give me wine." ”

"Do you want anything else to sacrifice but the blood of the pure white lamb?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, "It's not common, but there are." ”

"What's that?"

The old man had a look of remembrance on his face.

"Do you know the origin of the name Crimson Valley?"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Xia Yu to answer, so he talked about it by himself.

"There was a group of heretics living in this valley, and a nobleman who took a fancy to the land here came with twelve knights and hundreds of mercenaries, and killed them all, and the blood of those heretics stained the earth, and the whole valley turned red, hence the name of the Scarlet Valley.

It is said that the leader of the pagan group cursed before he died, and the evil god they believed in would one day come down and kill all the enemies of the valley.

Of course, no one believed his words, there is only one god in the world.

By the next year the valley was full of roses, and the roses grew red fruit like grapes, and the nobleman used them to make a batch of wine, which was a gift to God.

Most of these wines have been used up, but the tavern owner is said to have a bottle in his house, alas, the truth to try again. ”

Xia Yuxin said that this is easy to do.

But how do you get your hands on that wine?

Spend money to buy? Don't say whether the other party is willing to sell or not, I can't afford to buy it with so much money.
