Chapter 161: Sacrifices and Rituals (1)
In Lao Mo's mind, there seemed to be something rushing around like flies and insects, and constantly 'buzzing', Lao Mo tried to immerse his mind in the memory of Hou Tuman Mountain several times, but only saw some meaningless fragments, most of these fragments were incoherent, and it was difficult to think of what was going on.
After several efforts, it was still the same, for this reason, Lao Mo had to sit down cross-legged, close his eyes, seal his hands, and recite the mantra in his heart, trying to sort out the memories of Hou Tuman Mountain.
At the beginning, all that Lao Mo could see was the messy memories of Houtu Manshan, but as he continued to work hard, these memories became more and more complete.
After a long time, the stars in the sky had fallen at some point, and the dim sun hid behind the clouds, revealing a small half of its face, exuding a light that was not warm.
While meditating, Lao Mo's eyes kept moving rapidly, until this time, Lao Mo's eyebrows suddenly raised upward, and then he opened his eyes.
Since then, most of the memories of Houtuman Mountain have been obtained by Lao Mo, but there are still some omissions.
When combing the memories of Houtumanshan, Lao Mo completely brought himself into the role of Houtumanshan, if it weren't for his heart to keep clear from beginning to end, I can't say, when I woke up this time, it was another form of Houtumanshan!
But fortunately, Lao Mo's heart is firm, although the memory of Houtuman Mountain is like a tide, but Lao Mo is like an indestructible embankment, so despite the difficulties, Lao Mo still successfully persevered.
Most of the memories of Houtuman Mountain are useless, either hiding in caves to refine their bodies, or going out to find food.
However, with the deepening of Lao Mo's memory of Houtumanshan, some of the special behaviors of Houtumanshan were also seen by Lao Mo.
Every nine years, Houtu Manshan will capture nine living people, and turn these nine big living people into monsters like lizards and monsters through snake bites.
Later, Tumanshan captured these people and transformed them, naturally not to torture these people or use them as food.
But every nine years, Hou Tuman Mountain will kill the lizard monsters that have been captured in the past nine years on the fifteenth day of the first month of that year, and push them into a bottomless pit.
The deep pit was in the cave where Houtuman Mountain was located, but at this time, the entire rocky top was lifted away, and naturally the cave of Houtuman Mountain was also blown up.
Nine people were lost in nine years, humans are animals who are good at forgetting, and when the war was raging, it was not peaceful, so Hou Tumanshan kept repeating this process seven or eight times, and no one found him, except for some rumors.
Lao Mo found from the memory of Hou Tuman Mountain that it was by no means meaningless for him to do this, but an alternative sacrificial activity.
Under Tuan Mountain, as Lao Mo thought, it was inseparable from Chi You, and even a part of Chi You's body was buried under Tuan Mountain.
Lao Mo was already prepared for this, so he was not very surprised, what surprised him was still below.
Houtuman Mountain captures people and sacrifices every nine years, but what he sacrifices is not Chiyou buried under the mountain, but the ghosts who are sealed in the group.
Through the memory of Hou Tuman Mountain, Lao Mo learned that just above Chi You's tomb or hall, there was a huge stone pillar, which almost opened up the entire Tuan Mountain.
And, on the stone pillar, the sealers have countless human souls killed by the Wu Clan, so most of the human beings died in the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You, for many years, these souls have been sleeping, but even in their sleep, after so many years, they have not entered reincarnation, and they have already become ghosts.
However, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of every nine years, the yang energy is at its peak during the day and the yin energy is at its peak at night.
And Chi is especially expensive for ninety-five, so take nine as the extreme, and at this time, these ghosts that have been sealed in the stone pillar by the witch clan will be awakened.
They were killed by the Chiyou army, and after their death, they had to guard the tomb for Chiyou, and although these ghosts were not sane, they still hated the Wu clan.
Therefore, in order to appease them, the Wu clan will throw down nine monsters that turn into monsters every nine years.
Besides, the green snake, this snake is the descendant of the spirit beast raised by Chi You, through it, supplemented by witchcraft, the breath of the nine mortals will be replaced with the breath of the witch clan, this change can be described as very thorough, and it is almost irreversible, even the soul has been changed.
Moreover, when they are dying, their blood will also be stimulated, so that those ghosts will not impact the tomb of Chiyou below, but will be confused by these lizard monsters.
Through such sacrifices, these ghosts who were sealed in the stone pillars were allowed to vent some resentment, and then they could continue to sleep.
Lao Mo also found a problem in the memory of Hou Tu Man Mountain, that is, Hou Tu Man Mountain knew this because he was born here.
In addition to Houtumanshan, there are also two Wuclan, these two Wumen are his parents, but there seems to be a way of connection between the remnants of the Wuclan, his parents left here for other reasons decades ago, and handed over the task of guarding this place to Houtumanshan.
Lao Mo is also fateful, otherwise, when the three Wu clans are all there, he will bump into him, and he will definitely die and can't die again.
"Hey..."After combing through the memories of Tumanshan, Lao Mo stood up for a long time, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
The more you know, the more troubles you have, and when you don't know, you feel uncomfortable, and when you know, you feel even more uncomfortable.
The seriousness of the matter, Lao Mo naturally knew it, he originally thought that the Wu clan had already been looking for traces and completely withdrew from the era.
As a result, these witches have not given up on resurrecting Chiyou, which is quite a big matter.
Lao Mo was in a dilemma, once Chi You was resurrected, there would definitely be a bloody storm between heaven and earth, so it would never work to abandon this place.
And today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, according to the memory of Hou Tu Manshan, he has captured five mortals over the years, and turned them all into monsters, yesterday, Hou Tu Man Mountain sent the lizard monster at hand, ready to catch a few people to make up the number.
It's a pity that one of the monsters, somehow, found Lao Mo in a partial life, and was later injured by Lao Mo.
Lao Mo's Five Emperor Coin has a strong humane atmosphere, and the lizard monster injured by it is also stained with a lot, and the humane atmosphere is thrown into the stone pillar, which is no less effective than throwing jumping candy into Coke.
So this monster naturally can't be used anymore, so Houtu Manshan has to kill him, and then send these lizard monsters to recapture people.
