In the Bronze Hall, several fiery figures gathered around Bai Mo.
Indeed, a few fox apprentices surrounded their master, each holding a Stone Slab, presenting their transcribed docunts for their master to review.
"Blab blab blab!"
Quanquan Hu held the Stone Slab, chin up, full of pride.
All the other brothers copied too poorly. It believed that only it learned its master's three-part skills to help the master decipher the door fra's words!
"Howl howl howl!"
White Moon held the Stone Slab, squinting and wagging its tail.
All the other brothers copied too ssily. It believed that only it captured its master's essence to help the master discern the door fra's value!
"Blab blab blab!"
Black Ears held the Stone Slab, ears perked up, chin raised.
All the other brothers copied too fake; it believed that only it grasped the master's artistry to help the master see the door fra's illustrations clearly!
"Blab blab blab!"
"Howl howl howl!"
The other foxes, each holding a Stone Slab, wore proud expressions... in their hearts, they thought similarly.
Bai Mo glanced around, looking at the items his apprentices copied, one after another.
He furrowed his brow, expression serious.
Although he wanted to find an excuse to praise his apprentices, he really couldn't; these ghostly talismans, he truly couldn't understand!
Costu text aside, completely incomprehensible...
The apprentices' copied illustrations were even more abstract than the last!
The little person Quanquan Hu copied had a ssy head; was that... six ears?
The little person White Moon copied seed to be hanging; was that... a hanged ghost?
The little person Black Ears copied had hands reaching for its head; was that... tugging at its own ears?
Bai Mo pondered for a mont... That door fra seed indeed to contain much information?
The characters copied by the fox apprentices also sowhat resembled Sequence Seven text.
"Well... let's go have a look then."
...
Swish swish...
The Big Mushroom Ship crashed through the waves, charging onto the shore.
Bai Mo stood at the back of the Big Mushroom Ship, wearing a windbreaker, tightly holding the collar against the roaring winds of Fox Mountain.
He jumped off the ship and headed near the "door fra," looking a few tis, expression strange.
"This... isn't a door fra.
"This is a gallows!
"Used to hang the criminal Ancient Immortals."
The fox apprentices ran behind their master, eyes wide open.
A gallows? Hanging Ancient Immortals? So creepy?
Bai Mo looked again at the inscriptions on the door fra.
"Hey?
"The little person in the illustration indeed has six ears?"
Bai Mo squinted, wiped the dust and dirt from the gallows, and carefully identified the illustrations.
"Three ears on the left, three ears on the right.
"Is it a new species?
"Or Ancient Immortal Dynasty fashion, ornants?"
The six-eared little person was the executioner.
And the little person hung on the gallows was vividly outlined with simple strokes on both sides of the head...
"... This sketched out eight ears?"
Multi-Eared Monster executing Multi-Eared Monster?
Six ears executing eight ears?
Bai Mo's expression was strange, recalling that he seed to have seen such multi-ear illustrations in previous docunts but thought they were painted wrong and never delved deeper.
This gallows was extrely tall, about four or five stories high.
Looking up from below, the columns on both sides were densely covered with text and pictures, docunting execution after execution. Recorded each execution's date, the executioner's na, and the punished person's na.
"Just how many Ancient Immortals were hung here? Hung on this gallows with bluish faces, bulging eyes, protruding tongues, only to suffocate to death?
"What mistakes did they make? What sins?"
Bai Mo was puzzled yet moved.
Careful observation revealed sothing interesting...
"This na...
"Two months ago, it had only six ears and was the executioner, standing beside the gallows, executing others.
"Two months later, it beca eight ears, the punished one, hung on the gallows, executed by others.
"How did this co about?"
Moreover, this was not an isolated case!
Looking around, similar cases recorded on the gallows seed plentiful?
Bai Mo pondered for a long while, confirming there was no ntion of this in the docunts he reviewed.
Understanding the gallows, he was about to leave when he suddenly saw that part of the column was buried in the soil, revealing half a sequence of text.
"What words?
"Human Head Mushroom?
"Or chopping heads?"
Bai Mo reached down, dug out the soil, fully revealing the sequence text.
"Human Head Mushroom?
"This is dicinal material!
"Can it be, the gallows records a recipe?"
Behind him, the fox apprentices' eyes instantly lit up!
"Blab blab blab!"
"Howl howl howl!"
"Blab blab blab!"
They all took up Bronze Shovels and rushed forward, digging!
...
Soon after, a large pit was dug beneath the gallows. Exposing the gigantic square foundation stone of the gallows.
And on the foundation stone, the sequence text clearly engraved was a prescription!
Bai Mo jumped into the pit, furrowed his brow, stared, and bit by bit deciphered the sequence text, finally revealing a smile.
"Found another one...
"One of the ten Secret dicines to ascend from Sequence Seven to Sequence Six, the Ear-Enlightening Soup!"
...
On the street, taxis rushed by.
Inside the cab, the air conditioning blasted cool air.
The driver drove without hindering his chatting and bragging.
"These past few days, West State University is quite busy.
"I drove many students to West State University.
"Most couldn't get in, just wanting to sightsee, take pictures, and taste the cafeteria food.
