Chapter 181: Salgoth
Lu Qingchen rummaged through the bookshelves, and he found that things were getting stranger and stranger, and many of the books displayed on the bookshelves here were related to mysterious sacrifices. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It encompasses almost all the world's sacrificial cultures, as well as the sacrificial methods of the Indians and even the first ancestors. Others are detailed and precise dissects of human tissues, even to the point where they should not be touched: how to make the tissues of allogeneic organisms connect with each other without repelling them. Lu Qingchen opened the book, and suddenly shook off a page of notes from the page. The note depicts a portion of the surgical process in which bones from one person's body are replaced with another's body. Even the skull and spine were replaced. This method of bone replacement is unheard of and truly terrifying. Although he didn't know what experiments they were conducting, Lu Qingchen still needed to find the ancient books as soon as possible.
He found a book dedicated to occult phenomena, which mentioned the creature of the "executioner". It originated in Indian culture as a conglomeration of consciousnesses in which the goddess of vengeance, Salgoth, was brought to the world through blood sacrifices. In Indian culture, this Salgoth often came into the world in the form of a burly, muscular figure.
She will possess a special body and bring endless pain.
Descriptions of Sargoth often depict him as a humanoid creature armed with a broadsword or covered in massive armor, possessing terrifying destructive powers, even immortality. The possessed person is like a madman, retaining only some of his pre-mortem consciousness and becoming a killing machine.
According to the documents and descriptions here, the two families of Zhang Gu wanted to use the knowledge and power of the Xi family to summon "Salgoth" here. However, the Xi family refused halfway through the study, pointing out that Salgoth must have several conditions when he came: 1. It symbolizes primitive tyranny, and the possessed person needs to have a strong physical fitness, otherwise he will not be able to withstand the strong power of Salgoth, which will cause a backlash of self-power; 2. Killing Heart, the possessed person is undoubtedly an executioner, and legend has it that Salgoth was born in blood, so the more blood and resentment the possessed person has on his hands, the greater the chance that he will not be able to get rid of after possession. 3. Voluntary, the victim must voluntarily become the possessed.
No one will be sacrificed in blood, and they will voluntarily become tools of murder.
In primitive societies, Sargoth once descended on the tribe as an "oracle", and he was depicted as a burly hunter wearing a frontispiece mask and about 3 meters tall, dragging a spear about nine feet in his hand. This is the original "executioner" image. In the centuries that followed, the "executioners" did not change much.
Whether it is the terrifying appearance or the characteristics of cruelty and ruthlessness, immortality and immortality, he can always be recognized.
The "executioner" was last active in medieval Europe.
At that time, the Black Death was rampant, and the Church of Healing tried to link to the ancient gods, inadvertently summoning "executioners", and Salgoth was brought down to the church as a god. In the middle of the 17th century, witches were widely considered heretics in Europe, and then the "Great Witch Trial" that swept through the 300-year period, in which witches were burned at the stake, skinned and other cruel punishments, and the last executioner was born in the 17th century. So the 17th century was a time of weirdness and coldness. Every time it was born, it had to sweep away a lot of life, and the witch hunt was also started by it, and the church blindly supported it.
At this time, the executioner wore a "white cloak" on his head, his upper body was ****, and his body had many obvious stitching marks, and he pulled the sinner to the execution table with a huge guillotine in his hand, and then beheaded him.
It is worth noting that none of the "executioners" showed their faces, and some studies have shown that they were the embodiment of the Sargoths that had descended on them.
Because Salgoth's true body is depicted as a wall of blood, like a huge wall of flesh, made of red flesh and internal organs. It manifests this phenomenon in the possessed person, which is the position of the brain, so the head needs to be protected and covered. But such an executioner is not the embodiment of the complete advent of Sargoth, but a manifestation of mutilation and debilitation.
The real Salgoths were to be protected by thick armor, as depicted in the original Indian frescoes: wearing a beast mask and heavy armor.
But even the mutilated executioners are extremely powerful and are worshipped by churches or organizations around the world.
They may have known or even seen the "executioner", but no one knows the secret, except for the Xi family.
It seems that the Zhang and Gu families originally wanted to use the hands of Sargoth to create a relatively complete "executioner" to deal with the wolf monster that was transformed during the blood moon. In ancient tribes, there were records of executioners slaughtering enemy tribes, but this was not safe.
Sargoth's consciousness can be understood in this way: punishing sinners by the hand of sinners.
It will give salvation to the sinful, or it will be tyrannical in its end. Therefore, when the ancient tribe summoned the executioners to slaughter the opposing tribe, their own tribe was also hunted down by the executioners until the last person died.
It can be said that Sargoth is more of a spiritual aggregate longing for atonement.
It is the sanctioner of sin and will not stop until it completes its mission. When Lu Qingchen saw this, he couldn't help but think of an extremely terrifying thing, the pitch-black warrior he had seen in the Zenith Temple was extremely similar to the description of the executioner, but his face was obviously Lu Qingchen's, and it was contrary to the statement that there was an ugly piece of flesh and blood under the mask.
But that's just a statement.
The person who wrote the book may not have actually seen the executioner, so how could he know what the face looked like under the mask, under the helmet, and under the cloak?
This also makes sense, the pitch-black warrior who killed the giant python, dried corpse, and even almost killed Ah Fei may be the failed product that the two Zhang Gu families once summoned. So he could be found in the dark room beneath the Zenith, albeit in another world...... The bone replacement surgery introduced on the first page of the book is also to fulfill the summoning conditions. Because of the bones....... So, the bones are Lu Qingchen's? Lu Qingchen shook his head vigorously and said to himself, "No, no....... How could I have died? Am I not here in good hands? But those eyes, that face, and even every pore were so similar to Lu Qingchen that he really couldn't let go.
He came up with one of the most terrible conjectures: the Zhang Gu family singled out a person to voluntarily undergo the bone replacement operation, but Salgoth descended on the soul of the owner of the bone, and for some reason, summoned a relatively primitive and even complete "executioner".
At least his strength had been seen in another Zenith Temple, and the thing wielding the giant sword was the most terrifying creature Lu Qingchen had ever seen in his life.
Everything is too illusory, everything is too real.
Everything was stirred into a pulp, almost exploding in Lu Qingchen's brain.
Yuno approached his side and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Lu Qingchen said: "It's nothing, you can also help find the ancient books that your brother had hidden." ”
"Yes."
The two rummaged together, and the efficiency suddenly became much higher, and Yuno suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Ah! Found it, found it. Let me see...... There really is an article about the introduction of infant spirits. (To be continued.) )
