Chapter Twenty-Three: The Blood Sacrifice Cave
The cracks in the mountain wall were pitch black, and a cold air rushed to the face, and it was conceivable that there was a huge space inside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Feng Shanyue picked up a burning piece of wood from the fire pit, handed it to Bao, took one herself, and the two of them walked to the inner cave.
As soon as they walked into the inner cave, the two of them obviously felt an eerie atmosphere, and Feng Shanyue couldn't help but shudder. There are several large braziers in the inner cave, and firewood is also placed in them, and pine resin is sprinkled on them, so a little bit is enough. After several large pots of fire were burned, the scene in the cave was clear at a glance.
It's okay not to look at it, but at first glance, Feng Shanyue felt a churn in her stomach, and immediately ran to the corner and vomited. It turns out that there are more than ten stone pillars in this cave, and there are many terrifying ghost heads carved on them, all of which are bloody mouths, fangs, and the most terrifying thing is that there is a female corpse tied to each pillar, all of which are disemboweled, and are extremely cruel. These female corpses have been hanging for a long time, the flesh on their bodies has long been dried, and the deep sunken faces and hollow eye sockets make people feel creepy and dare not look at them directly. Seeing that Feng Shanyue was uncomfortable, Ah Bao hurriedly came over to help her and gently patted her on the back.
After Feng Shanyue relieved herself, she boldly looked at the mountain wall, there were many symbols carved on it, and there were some images of ghosts, which looked like a scene of hell, which was very terrifying. In the center of the inner cave there is a half-height bluestone platform, which is raised in the middle of the platform, enough for one person to lie down. There are grooves around it, and the grooves spiral down the pillars of the platform, and finally dock with the grooves on the bluestone slabs on the ground in front of the platform.
"Huh, what kind of pattern is this?" Feng Shanyue looked curiously at the groove pattern on the bluestone slab, like a tiger head, and like a demon, very weird. There is a suspicious dark red color in the grooves, which gives off an unpleasant smell of blood. This bluestone slab with a bluestone platform is more like an altar. Feng Shanyue seemed to be able to see the blood flowing in the grooves.
Things seem to be getting more and more complicated, Feng Shanyue can be sure that this blood altar was built by Nie Laoba, then, he is not as simple as the villain that Lian Cui said, he should have other identities. Feng Shanyue decided to quit this sacrificial cave first and return to the village to make plans.
"Bao, I'm going back to the village. What about you, will you come with me?"
Ah Bao is actually a child who was adopted by wolves since he was a child, isolated from the crowd, and usually hides far away when he sees people hunting in the mountains. But I don't know why, he trusted Feng Shanyue very much, and he didn't want to part with her, so he nodded and promised to go back to the village with her.
The two of them walked out of the cave and walked down the mountain led by Po. When they walked to the mountainside, they happened to meet Uncle Wang with a few villagers holding torches to find them.
"Uncle, why are you here?" Feng Shanyue said happily.
"Come looking for you! Dashan came back and said that you had rolled down the mountain, and the village chief led people to follow Dashan to your route up the mountain to find you. We walked from this road, afraid that if you took a fork in the road, we would be able to meet it, but I didn't expect to meet it. Are you alright?" may be because he successfully found Feng Shanyue, and it was rare for Uncle Wang to say so many words in one breath.
"I'm fine, Po saved me. ”
"Bao?" Uncle Wang was stunned, "is that the person behind you?"
"That's right," Feng Shanyue turned around and pulled out Ah Bao who was hiding behind her, "It's him, he's my savior, and I'm going to take him back to the village." ”
Uncle Wang frowned and didn't say anything. However, a few villagers who came with him exchanged ears, and Feng Shanyue only heard the word "werewolf".
"Uncles, although Po looks different from us, he is very kind and simple, please don't discriminate against him. Besides, as a member of Nie Family Village, isn't it an insult to the reputation of our Nie Family Village if you don't repay it?"
Only then did everyone quiet down and stop talking about Feng Shanyue taking Ah Bao back to the village, and Uncle Wang asked a villager to report to others, so as not to worry everyone.
Nie Laoba had already arrived at the place where Fengshanyue fell at this time, Wang Dashan suggested using a rope to lower the cliff to find it, Nie Laoba smiled and said: "No need, March has already come up." Look at the bloodstains here, it should have been left by her. ”
Wang Dashan carefully looked at the bloodstains on the blades of grass on the roadside, and then looked at the route of the bloodstains, "Eighth Uncle is right, it should be March." She had planned to look for the kapok tree at the top of the South Peak, but it seemed that after coming up from the bottom of the cliff, she went to the top of the South Peak. ”
"The top of the South Peak?, the Kapok Tree?" Nie Laoba looked surprised, "Didn't you go into the mountains to hunt?" Wang Dashan came back and said that he had fallen to the bottom of the cliff in the third month of spring, and asked him to quickly gather people to rescue people. He didn't have time to ask in detail, and now he heard that he was going to the top of the South Peak to find the kapok tree in Chun March, and he couldn't hide his emotions at all.
"Yes, Uncle Eight, is there anything wrong there?"
"Ah...... Not...... No, the terrain is steep, and few people go hunting, so I don't know what she's going to do?"
Wang Dashan shook his head, "I don't know either." ”
Nie Laoba was afraid that Feng Shanyue would expose his details, so he hurriedly led people to the top of the South Peak. When he arrived at the top of the South Peak, Nie Laoba saw that there was still residual temperature in the fire pond in the outer cave, so he knew that Fengshanyue had come here.
He looked at the inner cave that closed the mountain gate, and for a moment he couldn't tell if the sacrificial cave inside had been discovered. Now that he is followed by Wang Dashan and other villagers, he does not dare to openly open the inner cave to check.
He said to the crowd with a calm face, "It seems that I came to this cave in March to rest, but now I don't know where to go." ”
Some villagers also came to this cave to rest when they were hunting, but they had never found the inner cave, so they didn't doubt Nie Laoba's words and nodded their heads one after another. At this time, the villagers sent by Uncle Wang also rushed to the cave, "Village chief, March has been found!"
"Oh, where is it?" Nie Laoba hurriedly asked.
Wang Dashan also rushed over and grabbed the person and asked, "How did you find her? Are you injured?" He was entrusted by Feng Shanyue to take her into the mountain, and now she rolled down to the bottom of the cliff, her life and death are unknown, and his nerves have been tense, so when he heard the news of Feng Shanyue, he was very excited.
"I think I'm a little injured, but it shouldn't be serious, and I can walk down the mountain on my own. ”
Wang Dashan was relieved at this time, and Nie Laoba also rushed back to the village with everyone. At this moment, Feng Shanyue was at Wang's house, eating the sorghum rice that Aunt Wang made for her, Ah Bao ate such a thing for the first time, it was very unusual, and she opened the bow with her left and right hands, and she ate a lot.
When everyone came back to see that Feng Shanyue was fine, they were all relieved and went home to rest. Nie Laoba glanced at Feng Shanyue deeply, then looked at Ah Bao, who was full of mess, and asked with a smile, "March, were you scared today?"
Feng Shanyue nodded: "Well, it's too scary!"
"Oh, what do you see?" asked Nie Laoba eagerly.
