Chapter 155: The Sacrifice Begins

This was a large room, with the townsfolk bringing in lamps to illuminate the place. They began to hustle and bustle about, setting up and arranging twelve coffins in twelve distinct positions.

Lin Xi and Professor Luo were bound and placed in a corner. They watched the townsfolk busying themselves but had no idea what they were planning.

Upon careful observation, Lin Xi noticed characters corresponding to the twelve Chinese zodiac hours - Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai - at the places where the twelve coffins were set up.

Lin Xi naturally thought of the secret chamber inside the mountain of the ancient town that also depicted the twelve hours. If her guess was correct, then the layout here should also include a Tai Chi diagram.

As expected, Lin Xi found a Tai Chi diagram at the center of the room. It resembled the secret chamber within the mountain of the ancient town. No, more precisely, the arrangement of the secret chamber was similar to this room.
