Chapter 102: Monkey Brain Planting Gu
Commander Wang came to the altar and vaguely saw something on the wall of the altar. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info shine with a strong flashlight, and many totems are carved on the walls of the altar.
On the stone wall above the totem, there is a line of big characters carved: Monkey Brain Plant Gu, Acquired Eternal Life, Thousands of Generations, Guarding the Spirit of the Lord.
These four lines of writing are majestic, a kind of far-reaching and broad atmosphere, impacting people's souls, like an oracle from heaven, which makes people dare not look up.
Commander Wang looked at these sixteen words, thinking in his heart, he knew that 'Gu' generally refers to the cup, commonly known as "grass ghost", and according to legend, it is attached to women and harms others. Those so-called women with Gu are called "grass ghost women".
Could it be that this altar has something to do with cupping? He leaned closer to see the totem on the altar wall.
These totems, which describe the activities of the big-headed monster, are very expressively carved, with a big head, a slender body, a miserable white face, and three holes arranged in a straight line on the face, all of which are vividly described.
In this way, this cave has a very close connection with the big-headed monsters, and perhaps this is where they usually gather.
Commander Wang couldn't help but look at these totems from the head, the first totem was a big-headed monster holding a curved, knife-like knife, pointed at the head of a monkey tied to a pillar.
The monkey looked terrified, its mouth open, as if it was letting out a hoarse wail, its body struggling desperately, and the rope tied to it was so tightly tightened that it sank into the flesh.
The big-headed monster has no expression on its face, holding a sharp knife and seriously pointing it at the monkey's head.
Commander Wang suddenly found something unusual, because this big-headed monster has a much larger body than a monkey, if the body of those big-headed monsters outside is similar to a monkey, then the body of this big-headed monster should be almost the same as the body of a normal person.
Could it be that this big-headed monster with a sharp knife is a human?
Commander Wang carefully examined the big-headed monster with a sharp knife, the back of his hands and arms were very smooth, not at all like a monkey's claws and arms covered with hair.
His figure is also fundamentally different from that of a monkey, the body of a monkey, although it can stand up straight, but it always has to pout its buttocks, hunch its waist, and look like it is about to fall down at any time, but the body of this big-headed monster is completely straight, exactly the same as the human body.
It seems that this big-headed monster with a sharp knife is, in a sense, a human, or a human-like creature.
Commander Wang then looked at the second totem, on this totem, the sharp knife in the hand of the big-headed monster has fallen on the monkey's head, and the big-headed monster's hand holding the knife has green tendons bulging, which seems to be digging hard, and the monkey's face shows a painful expression.
In the next totem, the monkey's head, has been dug out of a hole, the big-headed monster is holding a worm in his hand, aiming at the hole in the monkey's head, carefully put it inside, the monkey has stopped struggling, seems to have fainted in pain.
In the fourth totem, the sharp knife in the hand of the big-headed monster is gone, replaced with needles and threads, facing the wound on the monkey's head, carefully stitched, looking very much like a serious surgeon, stitching up the wound of the patient.
The fifth totem, the monkey's head, wrapped in gauze, is rolling on the ground, it seems to be extremely painful, its head has grown two sizes, about the size of a human head, and it continues to grow, and the gauze wrapped around the head has been about to burst.
The sixth totem, the monkey's head, has become the size of a basin, and its facial features have completely disappeared, leaving only three holes, and it is kneeling in front of the altar and is bowing to the altar.
After reading the totem, Commander Wang's heart was sinking, it turned out that the big-headed monsters outside the cave were made cruelly in this way, no wonder when the beasts in the valley escaped just now, there were all kinds of animals inside, but they didn't see the monkeys, it turned out that the monkeys in this valley had been made into big-headed monsters by this cruel means.
He looked up again at the sixteen big characters above the totem: Monkey Brain Planting Gu, Eternal Life, Thousands of Generations, Guarding the Spirit of the Lord.
When he first saw these words, he could not understand their true meaning, but now he finally understood the meaning of these words, that is, to dig a hole in the head of a living monkey, and put a cup into the monkey's head from this hole, and the monkey will become a big-headed monster, so that he can live forever for generations to come, and guard the mausoleum for their master.
What a vicious method, cruel methods, who is this master, is he buried on this altar?
Commander Wang decided to go to the altar to see who this master was, who could come up with such a cruel means to make such a large number of loyal mausoleum keepers for himself.
He took a flashlight and searched around the altar, and found that there was a stone staircase leading to the top of the altar, and the stone steps below were very narrow, and it was impossible to see clearly if he went up, and he didn't know what it looked like.
These stone steps are covered with moss and other things, it looks wet and slippery, it is difficult to climb, Commander Wang simply did not take these stone steps, the cyclone in the dantian reversed, and the body flew up lightly, along the stone wall of the altar, slowly ascended.
Approaching the top, he steadied himself, slowed down, and approached the edge of the top little by little, then showed half of his head and observed the situation above the altar.
There are a total of nine lamp slaves around the altar, and like the lamp slaves below, they are also carved into the shape of big-headed monsters, and the lamps on their heads have all been lit at this moment, illuminating the altar with bright lights.
The area above the altar is very large, hundreds of square meters, and a stone table is placed in the middle, and the surrounding area is empty, except for the nine lamp slaves that surround the edge of the altar, there is nothing.
Commander Wang jumped lightly, got on the altar, and walked cautiously towards the stone table in the center of the altar.
This stone table is very large, it looks like half the size of a double bed, and you can faintly see something on it, but it is not big, it will definitely not be a coffin or something, is it a columbarium?
When he got closer, Commander Wang saw clearly, it was a crystal box, one meter long, half a meter wide, and half a meter high, and the things inside looked a little blurry, I don't know what it was.
He lit a flashlight and shone it into the box, and by the light of the flashlight, he finally saw clearly, and there was a big head of a big-headed monster inside.
The lid of the big head had been lifted, and there were some animal entrails inside, which were still fresh, and a huge insect like an ant queen kept shaking its thumb-sized wings on its back, crawling around on these fresh entrails.
From time to time, it inserts a long suction needle from its mouth into the internal organs of the animal to absorb nutrients, and after a while, its tail shakes, and a purple-red egg descends from its tail.
The purple-red egg is transparent, and you can clearly see that there is a worm curled up inside, and this worm looks exactly like the one that the big-headed monster put into the monkey's head.
Commander Wang suddenly realized that this is the place where the cup is raised, and this big insect with wings is the purple-red egg that it gives birth to after the cup, which is the cup.
Since this is a place to raise cups, there will be monsters who raise cups and often come to patrol and change fresh internal organs every day, and there must be a passage to other places here.
Commander Wang searched carefully on the altar and found no passage, so where did the monster that raised the cup come from?
He jumped off the altar and began to search the cave again, and when he reached the innermost part of the cave, he found that there was another stone door, which, like the one in front of him, was also opened to one side.
In the cracks of the stone gate, there were constantly cold air currents spewing out, and Commander Wang was secretly happy in his heart, this must be the way out to the outside world.
He slowly opened the stone door and used a flashlight to shine inside, and found that there was a stone staircase spiraling downward, and the stone steps were no longer as narrow as the stone steps next to the altar, but similar to the normal staircase.
He used a strong flashlight to shine on the stone steps, slowly walking down step by step, vigilantly paying attention to the movement ahead.
The stone steps are open on the stone wall of a shaft, along with the stone wall of the shaft, spiraling downward, he used a strong flashlight to shine down, it is too dark below, the light pillar of the strong flashlight, illuminated a distance of a few meters, it was swallowed up by the darkness, it was pitch black below, and nothing could be seen.
He suddenly thought that Zhu San was still outside the door of the cave, and if any monster came in, he was afraid that it would be bad, so he retreated to the cave, walked to the stone gate that came in, carried Zhu San in, put it next to the stone gate behind, and returned to the front door and closed the stone door.
I found a stone trough and put it in the stone trough under the stone gate, filling the stone trough completely, so that if someone outside wanted to open the stone door, it would be difficult to climb to the sky.
After doing this, he walked slowly down the stone steps on the edge of the shaft.
