"Maybe it's been a long time, and the paint has fallen off, right?" Guo Xiaohong didn't seem to be very clear about this question, but it was not the first time that a student had asked this question, so when asked, he answered very quickly.

"Impossible, the paint used to paint this mural must be the same material, how can it be that only the paint used to paint the eyes, nose and mouth has fallen off?" I suspect that it was not painted in the first place...... "Some students put forward different opinions, after all, they are all people who are engaged in art design, and they still know a lot about this aspect.

"Well, that makes sense. The tour guide Guo Xiaohong looked careless and didn't care what the students guessed and said, she was here to complete the tour guide task and mix the salary, so she didn't have the heart to think about these boring things.

"Sister Xiaohong, what do you do with so many faceless people painted on the mural?" another student mentioned it to Guo Xiaohong, and the students were always very curious and gossiping.

"This ...... In the ancestral hall, it should be a memorial to the dead, right?" Guo Xiaohong didn't look very sure, and casually perfunctory to the student.

"No way, it's not a dead person, the people in the painting are all young people. Immediately, a student pointed out.

"The face is gone, how do you know it's a young man?" a student retorted.

"Look at the clothes, the hair, and the height. ”

"Hmm...... Reasonable...... I didn't see it at first, but this time, it was indeed all young people, no old people, and no children. ”

"About the same age as us......"

"Why do you paint so many young people in the murals of the ancestral hall?" and don't paint their faces...... "The students are asking more and more questions.

"Although the ancestral hall is a place for the clan to worship their ancestors and sages, it also has other uses, and the grandchildren of the clan houses can also use these ancestral halls when they usually handle marriages, funerals, birthdays, and happy events, and the clansmen discuss important affairs within the clan, and will also use the ancestral hall as a meeting place, so these young people on the painting are likely to be painted when performing sincere and benevolent ceremonies or weddings and funerals. Seeing that the tour guide had been silent, a seemingly knowledgeable student tried to help everyone speculate.

"Then why don't you paint your face?"

"Maybe the person who draws is not good at drawing faces......

"That's...... If you look at the brushwork of this mural, it's definitely not the kind of person who is learning to paint......"

“……”

While the students were talking about the murals, Lu Yang had been studying the murals very carefully, and according to Lu Yang's prior understanding and speculation, he felt that ...... The reason why the mural does not paint the face should not be because the paint has fallen off, nor is it that the painter is not good at painting faces, but ...... These people are just like Han Cheng and Zhou Ling, they have no face!

For a moment, Lu Yang was in a trance for a while, as if he felt that the person in the mural was trying to break free from the wall and wanted to come out.

Lu Yang's whole body shuddered violently, and then he came back to his senses, he took a few big breaths, and stood firm against the wall.

There is nothing unusual about the people in the mural, it is just painted on the wall............ "This is the place where the people of the mountaintop village hold sacrifices, this stone platform is called the human-shaped altar......" Guo Xiaohong led the students out of the ancestral hall and came to the small square outside the ancestral hall, Guo Xiaohong pointed to the stone platform in the center and continued her tour guide's explanation.

The edge of the altar should obviously have some small designs, but they were all destroyed, and in the center was a stone platform with some words and patterns carved into it, and in the center of the stone platform was a human-shaped pit, just enough for a person to lie in.

Although it is a pit, there is a leak hole under the pit, so the heavy rain did not accumulate water in the pit, and the sun has been exposed to the sun in the morning, so the traces of the rain in the pit have already dried.

"Why did the altar have to be built like this?"

"Do you want to sacrifice a large living person?"

"If you look at this pattern, you must have stripped people naked and put them on this altar for sacrifice......"

"Just this picture, can you prove that you stripped people naked and threw them on them?"

"Look, there's an extra stick under this villain's belly, and a circle is drawn under this villain's belly...... Definitely stripped naked......"

"Haha, you're too silver~!"

"You're only silver~!I'm serious!...... serious"

"I'm serious...... Ha ha...... You strip naked and lie down......"

“……”

The altar that looks very ancient, the mysterious text patterns, and the mysterious human-shaped pit are enough to attract the attention of the students, so this altar pit is the place where the students who came to inspect the past take the most pictures, and the students in the team are not exempt from vulgarity, one by one lying in the human-shaped pit, posing in various shapes for other students to help take pictures, even Yiya and Hu Yulan are no exception.

"Yin Yin, you can also lie down and let me take a picture for you. "Yiya took a camera and pushed the 'Lin Yin' who was in a daze next to her.

Lu Yang stood on the edge of the altar stone platform, glanced at the human-shaped pit, and suddenly felt breathless.

"Yin Yin?" Yi Ya urged 'Lin Yin', everyone finished filming, and after waiting for 'Lin Yin' to shoot, the team was about to leave the ancestral hall and go to the next inspection point.

"I don't shoot. Lu Yang shook his head, his face looking very pale.

"Shoot one...... Such a rare opportunity......" Hu Yulan walked over and pushed 'Lin Yin'.

Lu Yang was about to say something more, and the next moment, he found that he was suddenly lying in the human-shaped pit of the altar, he was startled, and hurriedly wanted to sit up, but his body was extremely heavy, and he couldn't move no matter how he struggled.

The laughter of the students around him was still there, but it became extremely dull and distant, Lu Yang opened his mouth and shouted for help, but he couldn't shout anything, the whole person seemed to have become extremely tired, and he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth.

Time seemed to start fast-forwarding, the sunlight dimmed for a moment and finally disappeared, day quickly turned to night, everything around became extremely silent, and the noise of the students had disappeared, leaving only Lu Yang alone still lying in the human-shaped pit of the altar, struggling but never able to break free from this shallow pit.

Some chaotic footsteps sounded, and they also made a beast-like 'snort' sound, and they seemed to be rapidly approaching the altar, and the target was undoubtedly Lu Yang in the human-shaped pit of the altar stone platform!

But Lu Yang was still trapped in the humanoid pit and couldn't move, and the panic in his heart had reached the extreme...... The sound of footsteps and the sound of 'whooping' had already come to the altar, and Lu Yang, who had not yet adapted to the darkness, only saw a black shadow shaking in front of him, and then something like a sickle approached in front of him...... All of a sudden, the laughter of the students returned, and Yiya was holding a camera to 'Lin Yin' lying in the human-shaped pit, apparently taking pictures of 'her'.

"Okay, let's see how it goes?" Yiya walked over and pointed the display of the camera in her hand at Lu Yang in the humanoid pit.

Lu Yang hurriedly sat up and looked around in great shock...... It was still broad daylight, the sun was high in the sky, and the ten-person team was ready to go to the next inspection point with the guide Guo Xiaohong, except for Yi Ya, 'Lin Yin' and Hu Yulan, who were still staying by the altar.

"Hey, you three, hurry up!" a student shouted.

Lu Yang was a little flustered, how did he lie in the pit just now? Did he lose his short-term memory?

Closing his eyes, the screen of the trick computer appeared very clearly in front of him, and all the trick cards were still in a working state...... "Yinyin, Yinyin, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, let's go. Lu Yang propped up his body and slid down the altar stone platform and waved his hand to Yiya.

......"Assemble, assemble, assemble, the leader of each group counts his own group members, Lin Yin, check if everyone in each group has arrived!" The male counselor, Chen Jinhu, shouted loudly into the venue with a loudspeaker.

It's almost five o'clock, the sky suddenly turned cloudy, the sun disappeared and there was some mountain wind, the sky turned dark, because I was worried that the rainy weather would cause the mountain road to be difficult to walk after the sky was dark, today's investigation ended early to this point, all the students gathered the whole team to go back to the mountaintop hotel, and came back tomorrow for free sketching.

Before leaving the school and on the way over, the two counselors kept emphasizing the discipline of the inspection, so as soon as the students heard the male counselor's horn shouting, they all gathered at the entrance of the village. However, the two counselors and the leaders of each group counted and counted, and there were only two men, two women, and four students missing, no matter how Counselor Chen shouted loudly with a loudspeaker, they never came to the entrance of the village, and the time soon came to a quarter past five, looking at the increasingly gloomy sky, the two counselors were a little anxious.

"Why are these students so naughty? You can't stay in the mountaintop village on a thunderstorm night!" Gu Zheng, the older male tour guide in his fifties, muttered, but no one noticed his muttering.

"Lin Yin, you and Gong Jian take a few classmates to look on the hillside over there to see if the four of them have gone up there. "Gong Xue called 'Lin Yin' over, pointed to the hill behind the mountaintop village and explained to 'her'.

"Don't go up there, there's a cemetery up there. The elderly tour guide Gu Zheng heard Gong Xue's words and hurriedly came over to stop her.

"What are you afraid of in the cemetery? What age is it, and are you still superstitious?" Chen Jinhu, who was holding a loudspeaker, waved his hand to the tour guide Gu Zheng impatiently, he, a person from a big city, really looked down on these ignorant mountain people, knowing that although these three people were tour guides, they were actually local farmers.
