Li Yue's indifferent words immediately stunned everyone present.

"What's the relationship between the two?" Daqiang said in confusion.

Others were equally confused.

But Yang Jian's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light at this moment.

"A stick of incense, an empty tomb. An empty tomb means that there are no evil spirits in it, which means that even if the sacrifices in front of the tomb are taken away, nothing will happen."

Yang Jian murmured softly.

Following Li Yue's words, Yang Jian analyzed it bit by bit.

Suddenly a look of surprise appeared on his face;

"Can a stick of incense be exchanged for a bowl of rice here?"

Hearing Yang Jian's words, Li Yue did not answer, but just smiled.

Seeing this, Yang Jian knew that his idea was correct.

"If one stick of incense can be exchanged for a bowl of rice here, should we return to the ancient house immediately to get the other two sticks of incense?"

Yang Jian suddenly had some thoughts in his mind.

"It seems reasonable to use the incense here in exchange for sacrifices, but after all, there is no evidence. Isn't it a bit risky to do it easily?"

Fan Xing on the side said hesitantly.

Although according to legend, incense is for ghosts and rice is for humans.

It seems to be able to cope with the current funeral.

But after all, this is just what Li Yue said, and there is no definite evidence other than that.

And the current choice is related to everyone's life and death, so after listening to Fan Xing's words, everyone couldn't help but show hesitation on their faces.

Only Ding Hui and Li Yang were convinced of Li Yue's judgment.

"Although I don't need to prove it to you, since you said there is no evidence, I will give you the evidence you want."

Li Yue glanced at the suspicious people, then walked straight to the collapsed old tomb and squatted down.

Everyone present naturally saw Li Yue's movements, but they didn't know what Li Yue was doing.

But it seemed that Li Yue was looking for something.

"Don't you want evidence? This is the evidence."

Soon, Li Yue pointed to a location in front of the tomb and said to everyone.

After hearing Li Yue's words, everyone immediately approached Li Yue and then looked at where he was pointing.

I saw a small wooden stick stuck in the yellow soil. Although there was only a little bit left, I could still tell that it was a burnt incense stick.

"This is the incense stick that Zhou Deng took from the ancient house earlier."

Combined with what Li Yue said just now, everyone understood instantly.

At this time, everyone no longer doubted what Li Yue said just now.

A stick of incense in exchange for a bowl of rice!

"It turns out that the three sticks of incense in front of the coffin were prepared for the ghost feast on the fifth day." Eagle said in surprise;

"There are two sticks of incense at the old house. If you bring them over, you can take away two bowls of rice. In this way, you can take away a total of three bowls of rice."

Daqiang also said:

"The funeral arrangements in the old house have been arranged from the beginning. Since three incense sticks can take away three bowls of rice, it means that three bowls of rice are enough to meet the needs of the ghost feast on the fifth day.

In this way, we don’t need to worry about how many sacrifices to take away. "

At this moment, Ding Hui's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of hesitation and worry;

"Don't think of this matter too simply, although you can use the few sticks of incense in the old house to exchange for sacrifices.

But don’t forget that the incense stick from before is suspected to have released a fierce ghost in advance;

Once we bring the remaining two sticks of incense in exchange for sacrifices, we will release two evil ghosts at the same time.

Although I don’t know how terrifying the ghosts buried here are, I think even the owner of the old house is buried here.

It is not difficult to imagine that the evil ghosts buried under these tombs are definitely not that simple.

If the released evil spirits target us, it will be a disaster for us. "

Even Li Yue couldn't help but be stunned by Ding Hui's words.

He hadn't thought of this before.

After all, Li Yue's strength is here, and he is confident that he can cope with everything.

But if the evil ghosts buried here are really related to the Seven Guys of the Republic of China, then things are not that simple.

At this moment, Li Yue suddenly felt a sense of disobedience in his heart.

He always felt that something was wrong with this matter.

It is not difficult to see from the situation in the past few days that Zhang Dong's arrangements are very powerful.

As long as the relevant aspects of the funeral can be completed in accordance with the corresponding procedures, even if a evil ghost appears, these people will not be attacked by the evil ghost.

It's like announcing a funeral today.

Even though there were many fierce ghosts following them, they were just following and would not have any substantial impact on them.

Even when Li Yue took the initiative to attack these ghosts, these ghosts had no other reaction.

But there is something obviously abnormal about taking away the sacrifices.

To exchange those sticks of incense for sacrifices, you need to release the evil spirits, which is obviously inconsistent with the layout Zhang Dong made before.

"Although I have never met Zhang Dong, as a strong man who suppressed an era, there will be no such loopholes in his wisdom or experience.

Then the only explanation is that someone broke Zhang Dong's arrangement, just like Zhou Deng had earlier caused the funeral to be announced in advance, which eventually caused the old house to lose control. "

Li Yue touched his chin, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, Li Yue stared at the incense stick on the ground, which was only one section left, and a look of realization flashed across his face.

At this time, he roughly knew why it became like this.

If everything was not wrong, then the root cause should still be Zhou Deng.

According to the layout left by Zhang Dong, they should have come here with the three incense sticks in the old house to exchange for three bowls of rice today, that is, on the third day of the funeral, and then prepare for the ghost feast on the fifth day.

But Zhou Deng first brought the funeral forward when he was on night watch on the second day, so that the night watch and the funeral came together.

Then Zhou Deng came here and gave the incense that should have been brought on the third day to the grave here in advance.

In this way, the arrangement that should have been well-organized was directly disrupted.

At this time, Li Yue couldn't help but feel speechless.

Before, I thought Zhou Deng just wanted to bring the funeral forward, but now it seems that it is more than that.

Because of Zhou Deng, the complexity of the matter far exceeded Li Yue's imagination.

"Zhou Deng's incense was brought in advance? He shouldn't have brought the incense here so early?" Li Yue said softly.

Li Yue's words happened to be heard by everyone around him.

Yang Jian's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light:

"What do you mean by this?"

Li Yue looked at Yang Jian deeply, and then responded:

"Do you still remember that last night when you were fighting against the evil spirit in the hall, the two remaining incense sticks in the back hall had been extinguished and no longer burned.

And Zhou Deng took away the incense that was burned on the second day."

The burning incense on the second day?

The extinguished incense on the third day?

In Yang Jian's mind, it was like a flash of lightning.

He immediately understood the meaning of Li Yue's words.
