Chapter 34: The Wraith Blood Witch
Tang Jue exclaimed, and then fell into a warm embrace, and she panicked with a trace of joy: "Brother Chunhai, are you okay?" ”
"Hmm." Harumi put her down.
The surroundings were pitch black, Tang Jue only felt that his feet were soft, and the voice he had just spoken was still echoing around, making it seem that this place was very empty. She pulled out the white orb, and a faint glow of fluorescence illuminated a small area in front of them. It was a big cave, and it was so dark that they couldn't see the edge, and the soft thing under their feet turned out to be a huge rattan net, and the ancient vines that had grown for I don't know how many years were intertwined with each other and woven into a huge net.
It wasn't that high from where they had just landed to this rattan net, and there was obviously a long way to go underneath it. Chunhai took out a coin and threw it down, and it took a long time to hear a "ding" sound.
Tang Jue shouted lucky, if he fell directly below just now, not to mention falling to pieces, he would definitely be half of his body.
Chunhai said: "These ancient vines will not be born out of thin air, let's look to see if we can find the vines that lead to them." Tang Jue nodded yes, so the two cautiously explored around.
However, if people have great hopes, they often usher in greater disappointment, and the two of them searched for a long time and did not find a vine leading to it, but smelled a faint stench, which was very similar to the smell of the giant beast, and it seemed that this may be a shelter for the giant beast, and this large net was obviously made up by it.
So Tang Jue proposed: "Brother Chunhai, let's see if there is a rattan leading to the bottom, maybe we can go out from below." ”
Chunhai happened to think of this possibility, so without saying a word, the two began to look for rattans leading to the bottom, but there are many ancient vines leading to the bottom, but they all grow against the mountain wall, and it is still a little difficult to climb the ancient vines over the rattan net, but the skills of the two are good, and this difficulty is still difficult for them.
Chunhai protected Tang Jue and was about to climb down, but he heard a slight prickly sound in the huge space below. The two looked at each other, so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.
Tang Jue threw the white ball into Chunhai's quiver, held his breath and stared, and after a while, there was a prickly sound below, like the sound of something heavy being pushed away.
Tang Jue didn't dare to make a sound, nor did he dare to move. And the spring sea beside her, the breath of her whole body converged, and the whole person merged with the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to move, like a dormant cheetah.
A door appeared on the mountain wall below, and a faint light of fire shone through the door, followed by a jumble of footsteps, and dozens of people with torches poured in, illuminating the cave as if it were day. Tang Jue and Chunhai shrank in the corner against the mountain wall, not daring to move.
These dozens of people surrounded the city in a big circle, and Tang Jue saw clearly that there was a bronze three-legged tripod in the center of this huge cave. Dingli is not empty, because with the light on his back, he can't see what he puts it, probably a sacrifice or something.
At this moment another group of people entered, led by one who was armed with a staff and wore a strange and colorful robe. Tang Jue was guessing the identity of this person, when she heard Chunhai whisper in her ear: "This is their high priest." ”
"They're Dusha?"
Harumi nodded.
The two men who followed the high priest were dressed in plain blue cloth clothes and trousers, and a woman was in their hands. This woman is petite, wearing a black bodysuit, outlining her figure convex and backward, extremely sexy. However, at this time, she was tied into a rice dumpling by a few thick hemp ropes, and she was unkempt.
Tang Jue was still thinking about what these people wanted to do, when he heard Chunhai's almost inaudible voice behind him: "Why is she?" The tone was full of surprise.
Tang Jue took a closer look, hey! Isn't this the Zhongli who was going to tie them up last night? It's really unpleasant to retribution in the cycle of heavenly reason, but in the middle of the night, she was tied up.
Dozens of people came in after them, but fortunately, the cave was very large, and so many people couldn't see that it was crowded inside.
The men were all silent, and the atmosphere was very eerie.
Suddenly, the high priest's arms shook, and he muttered for a while, and then knelt down in front of Da Ding and in the direction of Tang Jue's rattan net. I don't know if he was kneeling in Dading or kneeling in the rattan net, in short, as soon as he knelt down, everyone in the cave walked behind him and knelt down, and he didn't know what he was reading.
For a moment, the cave echoed with a humming sound like a monk chanting. Looking at the past from Tang Jue's point of view, he could only see the head of a black crow in the place where it was not blocked by the three-legged tripod.
Tang Jue asked softly, "What are they doing?" ”
"It's like a god who wants to sacrifice this girl to them."
Dedicated to their gods? Tang Jue suddenly thought of the story of Hebo's marriage that he had read when he was a child, and couldn't help but feel creepy, were they going to kill Zhongli and throw him into the ding? She gasped.
But at this moment, the sound of "chanting" below suddenly stopped, and her gasping sound became particularly abrupt. It's over, it's time to take a break. Just when she was mourning silently in her heart, Chunhai suddenly let out a strange scream, and Tang Jue was almost so frightened that she fell off the rattan net.
Chunhai pressed a palm on her shoulder, signaling her not to act rashly.
The high priest below walked quickly to the rattan net, Tang Jue almost didn't dare to look down, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, preparing that if he came over, he would catch the high priest first, and then he would be able to get out.
Unexpectedly, the high priest walked to the rattan net and knelt down with a "poof", and prostrate on the ground: "There are words in the mouth." ”
Tang Jue didn't understand a word, and looked at Chunhai suspiciously, in fact, Chunhai didn't understand much, but barely understood a few words, such as "oracle", "gift" or something, even guessed, and finally came to the conclusion that these Dusha people originally worshipped the big monster as a god, but unfortunately the giant beast was beaten off the cliff by him and Tang Jue last night, and its bones were shattered. He couldn't help but feel funny.
At this time, he didn't care about anything, and said sharply: "You all quit, the deity should enjoy this fresh food slowly......" He didn't hear the giant beast speak last night, and it was really very risky to speak at this time, but since these people respected the giant beast as a god, they didn't dare to offend.
The high priest looked up suspiciously, and sure enough, he prostrated himself again, and said, "Do as the gods command." ”
Then he whispered to the people who had fallen to their knees, and they got up and withdrew, leaving Zhongli alone to kneel there.
And happily, they didn't know if they forgot or something, the door was not closed, and the torches were not taken away.
Tang Jue was happy and always felt that things were going too smoothly, a little incredible, like pies falling from the sky. She whispered to Chunhai, "They won't have any conspiracy, right?" Are you waiting for the rabbit below? ”
Chunhai said: "Leave him alone, let's take a step and see one step at a time." ”
The two of them descended to the ground along the ancient vine, and Zhongli couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that it was them, and shouted, "Sister, sister, come and save me!" ”
Chunhai shouted angrily: "Shut up, you want to die!" ”
Zhongli stuck out his tongue and was very playful: "I'm sorry, uncle, I was so excited to see you all of a sudden." ”
Tang Jue asked in a low voice, "You are so good at kung fu, how could you be caught by them?" ”
"Alas, don't mention it, yesterday we evacuated and planted, and I was left alone, and I got lost in the mountains before I knew it."
Chunhai snorted coldly: "You can make it up!" ”
"Okay, okay, I'll be honest." Zhongli raised his hand in surrender: "Actually, I followed you all the way, and when you crossed the iron cable, I was watching proudly from the side, but I suddenly felt chills all over my body, like falling into an ice cellar." I thought it was the ** teacher who came to look for me, but I turned my head, Mom, I saw a pair of green eyes staring straight at me. She swallowed and foamed, afraid that Tang Jue would not believe them, and promised: "Really, I swear, there really is only one pair of eyes." ”
"Okay, don't be verbose, if you don't leave, we'll have to explain here!" Harumi picked her up from the ground.
"Hey, uncle, do you understand the mercy of the jade? Be gentle with women. ”
"Just you, also called Ma'am?" Chunhai is disdainful.
The three of them went out along the way, and Zhongli sighed: "This is really a huge project!" ”
Tang Jue asked softly, "Your name is Zhongli?" ”
Zhongli grinned: "My surname is Zhongli, my name is Zhongli Duxue, but I don't like this name, what's so good about the snow at night?" That's why they all call me Zhongli. She spoke in the same tone as a normal fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, no matter how innocent, as if the only thing she was worried about was what clothes to wear tomorrow and what hairstyle to comb, and no one who saw her would have imagined that she would be a person with high martial arts skills and participate in such dangerous things.
The passage was very long, and after turning a corner, there was a fork in the road, and the three of them discussed it and unanimously decided to go left first, and if it didn't work, then go back and go right.
After walking for a while, there was another fork in the road ahead, so I still went to the left, walked for a while, and suddenly heard someone talking in front of me.
An eerie voice said, "Are you bargaining with me?" What capital bargaining do you guys have? ”
Another old voice said, "Hmph, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't want to refine into a resentful spirit blood witch!" ”
The eerie voice added: "Now that we are almost finished, we are just waiting for them to send it to the door!" ”
Another broken gong was inserted into the conversation: "Do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" ”
When Tang Jue heard this voice, he was shocked, and secretly thought: Sure enough, it was the handiwork of those two old ghosts.
Harumi apparently recognized the voice as the one who had ruined the pair of gray-faced buzzards he had been chasing for so many days.
The two looked at each other, but they didn't dare to listen anymore, and quickly stepped back, but they heard a person behind them shouting: "What person! ”
The three of them ran forward desperately, and when they passed the intersection, they didn't want to turn to the right, and ran wildly, when suddenly their eyes suddenly opened up, and a strong smell of blood came to their faces, and the Chinese wanted to vomit.
The three of them were shocked, and then they heard a person behind them laughing: "The high priest is so scheming, these two stupid girls have really come to the door." Now they just have to jump off on their own. ”
Of course, Tang Jue didn't understand what he was saying, and secretly screamed in his heart, he had turned the wrong intersection just now, but the matter had come to this, and it was pointless to regret it. She settled down, and saw a pool three or four meters square in front of her, which was bubbling and bubbling, and the slurry was a viscous dark red, which seemed to be all blood, and what was even more terrifying was that as the blood rolled and bubbled, some hearts, human hands, and human feet were brought out from time to time.
