Chapter 182: The Bloody Hole
Unexpectedly, there were so many contents recorded on a wooden plaque, Master Qin listened to Dai Ze's interpretation of the text, and suddenly thought of why the burial place of the Loulan people was behind the "Soul Binding Tree". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 He speculated that the "Soul Binding Tree" might be a sacrificial place for the Loulan people, used to worship the area where they are now.
Gu Xiu and Dai Ze didn't understand what he meant, and Master Qin explained that because the people of Loulan all died unexpectedly, their ghosts needed to be appeased, and the best way to appease them was to take the lives of the Han people, that is, the "Soul Binding Tree" was an altar, and the corpses of people and animals were sacrifices.
Gu Xiu thought that there were mass graves in the Central Plains, and the yin qi was very heavy, and he was named the title of "Top Ten Murderous Places", and the "Soul Binding Tree" also had such a "good name". When he looked at the trees, he could actually see that there were hundreds of unrelieved spirits entwined around them, they were in pain and hysterical, and for their enemies, it must have been very refreshing to see their souls unfreed. It's just that this way of locking the soul is not something that ordinary murderers can do, only powerful warlocks, in the Central Plains, there are Qingwu and Blue Bird Warlocks, who are used to survey Feng Shui, and there are divination warlocks who are used to tell fortunes, and what they have at the borders of various territories is that kind of evil old witch.
Gu Xiu had heard that the old witches in the territory were all very terrifying, more terrifying than monsters, more vicious than evil ghosts, and their methods of killing people were often used for unheard-of evil arts. Previously, he hadn't seen any formation arrangement on the "Soul Binding Tree", but now that he thought about it carefully, maybe the hanging of those corpses themselves was a formation, and their hollowed out internal organs should have been sacrificed to some evil thing.
The burial place of the Loulan people was hazy with an indescribable horror in Gu Xiu's speculation.
Qin Baichang died to save face and suffer crimes, although this place was very quiet, and there were no dead people, but Master Qin knew that under his feet, there were many people who died tragically, thinking of the hideous appearance of those people before they died, he didn't realize that a cold cold air oozed from the ground, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became, he curled up in a ball, and every time he took a step, it was as if he was about to step into the air and fall into the cliff.
Gu Xiu saw his panic behind him, and asked him to take a closer look, if something really dirty, he would solve it. Qin Baichang turned his head and pulled out a smile, probably thinking at that time: "You are more terrible than dirty!"
However, people are drifting in the rivers and lakes, and they must have their own value in order to be respected and live a good life, Qin Baichang has been well aware of this truth since he was abandoned by the head of the Thorn Tomb Sect, otherwise with his courage, he would never enter this dense forest-like funeral ground.
He slowly adjusted his breathing, and noticed that the wooden signs were all red and stale substances, which had been stuck to them for a long time, and some had dried up. Qin Baichang took out his dagger, stood on tiptoe, carefully scraped off those strange substances, and then took the tip of his nose and sniffed it, when he smelled it, his face changed greatly, and he wiped those old things on the wooden card in panic, and said with a look of disgust: "This ...... It's human guts and flesh!"
Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he did not hesitate to shine the torch towards the height of the wooden card in front of another wooden card, and there were indeed some thick objects hanging on the old wooden card, and there were long blood marks under the thick objects, like two lines of hideous blood and tears. Following the blood stain and then upward, Gu Xiu found a bird pattern painted by red paint, this bird looked very strange, sharp-beaked monkey gills, very weird.
After Qin Baichang softened his heavy disgust, he looked up and saw the bird pattern, and at this look, his complexion changed again.
Gu Xiu saw his strangeness and said, "Do you know this pattern?"
Qin Baichang said with a crying voice: "I can recognize it even if it turns into ashes, we ...... Before we entered the forest, we came across the birds painted on the wooden signs, and they were very large...... It's fierce!"
Gu Xiu saw that his face was distorted when he talked about the bird, thinking that the bird was really unusual, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of bird?"
Qin Baichang sighed and said, "It's said to be a bird, but it's not actually a bird, it's very big, and there are not a few hairs on it, and it flies like a demon hovering overhead, which is particularly scary." Their claws, like fish hooks, are very sharp, and the most important thing is the beak of the bird...... In short, it was a demonic thing, and it was no longer called a bird, and many of our people died after they met it......"
"It's so fierce, the people of Loulan carved it on the wooden plaque again, so it seems that they regard the bird as their own god......" Gu Xiu swept the torch over the place painted with bird patterns, in addition to the bird, there was also a red-faced fire monkey.
We've all met these two creatures, one of them is really a monster, and the other is just naughty, and his nature is not bad.
Just when the two of them were looking, Dai Ze had been staring at something, engrossed, because he couldn't see clearly, he took another step back, and hit a wooden sign on his back, the wooden card was firmly erected, and it didn't move, but there was a drop of blood, dripping on Dai Ze's body, and then there was a strange wheezing sound, very heavy and heavy, as if a monster was locked in a dense space, and let out a deep sigh.
Dai Ze was startled, he looked around vigilantly, but after the cold gasp just now, there was no sound, Dai Ze sighed, just as if he was in this "demonic land", his nerves were sensitive.
Gu Xiu saw that Dai Ze's face was wrong, and asked him what he saw?
Dai Ze relieved his breath and said, "There is a black hole in the top part of the wooden card......"
Because the wooden signs are dense, it is not easy for people to look up at the top of the wooden signs, so Gu Xiu walked to Dai Ze's position, where the arrangement was relatively loose, he looked up, under the gloomy and gloomy sky, there was indeed a deeper shadow at the top of the wooden signs, just like the kind of window of the tower, the size was like a shrine, it was hollowed out, what was it for? How to give people an incredible sense of horror?
Just as he was thinking, something even more unbelievable happened! a thick stream of blood poured out of the black hole without warning, silently flowing from the top of the wooden plaque into the mud, like a fountain of blood.
At first glance, seeing the inexplicable blood, Gu Xiu excitedly shuddered, and the smell of blood slowly came out, mixed with a smell of flowers, Shicai did not smell of blood, I don't know why there is it now? Could it be that this wooden card is alive? No, the taste of blood Gu Xiu is very familiar, this blood is not fresh blood, it seems to have been stored for a long time, could it be that the black hole is a place to store blood?
He was in a state of distress, and was about to ask Loulan the snoopers, but Qin Baichang looked at a certain place timidly, and said in a snarling tone: "I know what that black hole is for." ”
Gu Xiu and Dai Ze turned their gazes to Master Qin, who trembled and stretched out his hand, pointed to a shorter wooden plaque and said, "Look, what is stuck on those thick filthy things?"
Gu Xiu bypassed a wooden plaque and followed Master Qin's finger to look at the edge of the black hole, there was a black lacquered, oily feather, the feather was like a crow's, seeing that feather, Gu Xiu suddenly realized: "I also know where the five internal organs of those people hanging on the 'Soul Binding Tree' have gone!"
