Chapter Seventy-Seven: Into the Cave
Sacrifice is one of the oldest blessing activities of human beings. The two most primitive sacrificial beliefs of human beings are the sacrifice of heaven and earth and the sacrifice of ancestors. Important festivals in our daily life, such as the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, etc., are all major festivals to worship heaven and earth and ancestors.
And sacrifice, in ancient times, had a very strict hierarchy. Since ancient times, kings have sacrificed heaven and earth, princes and princes have sacrificed mountains and rivers, and the people of Li have sacrificed to their ancestors and the god of the stove. The god of the stove is what we commonly call the king of the stove, during the Spring Festival, people in the countryside are sticking on the door of the stove "God says good things, the lower world keeps peace" is the god of the stove.
Sacrifices are naturally used, and in ancient times, due to the scarcity of goods, people's sacrifices were mostly grains, jade silks and six animals. "Human sacrifice" is a type of evil sacrifice in which a living person is offered as a sacrifice to heaven and earth or to the gods. Most of those who were sacrificed were buried alive or killed, and most of them were children and women.
"Soul sacrifice" is an evil deed that is even more evil than human sacrifice! This is a form of sacrifice that only the mage knows. Historically, it has been strictly restricted, because of its heinous degree of evil! Human sacrifice only makes people give their lives, while soul sacrifices completely cut off the person's chance of reincarnation.
Qian Xiu and the others are now facing a soul sacrifice, and several people secretly make up their minds. Whoever sacrifices must be prevented from doing so. There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Zhang Youcai came with news. There was another person in Kitamura, and it was also a man of wood life.
"The people of the wood life, eight deaths in a row!, what are those gangs and that monster going to do?" Zhang Youcai's house, Liu Rufei asked suspiciously.
"Rufei, I think we're going to go into the toad hole tonight anyway and check it out. If they were going to sacrifice, it would be tonight. Qian Xiu said.
Wang Dabao suddenly asked, "Qianxiu, why do they have to sacrifice tonight, why can't it be tomorrow night or other time?"
"Because nine is the largest number, they are harming one person tonight, and it is the number of nine. Therefore I am sure that tonight will be the day of their sacrifice. ”
"Oh, what about the man of wood and the explanation?" Wang Dabao asked.
Qian Xiu shook his head and said, "I can't figure this out now. But. The five elements are mutually reinforcing, and the wood is making fire and overcoming the earth, do they have to deal with the Bangmao Mountain?"
"How to deal with a big mountain?" Wang Dabao asked suspiciously.
"I can't tell you exactly how to deal with it, but even if there are no mountain gods, ordinary mountains will have mountain spirits. As the name suggests, the mountain god belongs to the gods, although it is a small role that does not enter the stream, but it is also a god after all, and it is generally canonized by the underworld. The mountain spirits are the elves on the mountain who cultivate on their own, and they govern the mountain when there is no mountain god living in this mountain. "Humility replied.
"Qianxiu, what if they are really sacrificing to the mountain god?Have you ever thought about this problem?" Liu Rufei asked worriedly.
Qian Xiu thought for a moment, and then said categorically: "No matter what the sacrifice is, as long as he dares to devour the souls of these nine dead, we will definitely eradicate this great evil person for the Heavenly Dao!"
Liu Rufei was infected by the pride of his cultivation, and immediately said: "Okay! Then let's explore the toad cave tonight and meet this heinous man!"
At that moment, the four of them decided that Qian Xiu and Liu Rufei would explore the toad cave at night. An Ruyi decided that she would come forward and immediately find the local public security department to cooperate with their actions. As for how to gain the trust of the local public security department, there is no need to say more.
After dinner, Qian Xiu and Liu Rufei began to practice cross-legged, striving to adjust their bodies to the best state before entering the cave. As soon as 12 o'clock passed, the two immediately went to the toad cave. Wang Dabao was reluctant to be the boss, so he had to go together. In the end, in the anger of Qian Xiu, he had to compromise and promised to protect Ruyi's safety at home.
Qian Xiu and Liu Rufei, who arrived at the Toad Cave, found a place to hide their bodies and watched the movements of the Toad Cave closely. At around 1 o'clock, the humanoid monster finally appeared.
Qian Xiu saw that a monster with a short stature with protruding eyes and a pouting mouth and a huge belly suddenly appeared next to the toad stone. The monster rolled with a pair of convex eyes, looked around for a long time, and only after confirming that it was safe did it jump in the direction of Bangmao Mountain. Qian Xiu immediately unfolded the Ethereal Shadow Body Method, and carefully followed all the way.
This was a plan set by the two of them in advance, if the monster appeared, it would be followed by Qian Xiu, and Liu Rufei was responsible for continuing to squat in place.
Just said that Qian Xiu tracked the monster away, although the monster jumped forward, the speed was extremely fast. "Could it really be a toad spirit?" Qian Xiu thought to himself. The toad spirit rushing in the direction of Bangmao Mountain passed through Bangmao Village without entering and continued to move forward. After a while, we arrived at a village behind Bangmao Mountain.
The village was pitch black, and every household had already turned off their lights and gone to bed. Most of the people have fallen asleep, but they don't know that disaster is approaching someone. The toad spirit stopped in front of the door of a house, checked left and right, and saw that there was no movement in the four places, so he immediately jumped lightly, flew over the courtyard wall and entered the courtyard.
The toad spirit crept close to the window of the house, pierced the window paper, and used a single protruding eye to get closer to check the inside of the house. Two adults in the house slept on the left and right sides, and a child in the middle slept on the right side. Seeing this, the toad spirit did not hesitate in the slightest, and immediately spat out a breath of demonic qi in his mouth, blowing it into the house along the stabbed window.
That demonic aura instantly wrapped the sleeping three people in the room. Immediately afterwards, the toad spirit grinned with a big mouth, agitating a giant tongue in his mouth. The tongue of the toad, which looked like a giant python, followed the window and instantly tied the child's three souls out of the house.
The child's spirit trembled, and he struggled to cry out for help. But the two adults have already been shrouded in demonic energy, and they will definitely not wake up for a while. Seeing this, the toad was overjoyed and hurried back the same way.
The process of detaining the spirit happened so quickly that it didn't take more than three minutes in total. Seeing all this in his eyes, Qian Xiu thought secretly: "Judging from the toad's skillful modus operandi, it is definitely not the first time it has done this, and the spiritual bodies of the eight deceased must have been taken away by it. "One person and one demon returned the same way, and the monster in front of the toad cave looked around cautiously before turning around and entering the cave.
Seeing the monster enter the cave, Qian Xiu immediately came to Rufei's hiding place and asked, "How is it, what is the movement in the toad cave?" Rufei shook his head, and the two immediately entered the cave.
Qian Xiu took the lead with the dragon sword in his hand, as if he was broken. A few minutes later, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the magic circle in the Toad Cave. Qian Xiu nodded to Rufei, meaning that this was the entrance to the magic circle. Rufei understood, and then took out a mirror painted with gossip graphics in the Dharma bag and looked at the entrance. I saw that in the gossip mirror, the originally glorious stone slab immediately showed a window-like pattern. Rufei turned the gossip mirror left and right, and finally found a mechanism in the mirror to open the entrance to the tunnel.
It turned out that the Bagua Mirror in Rufei's hand was one of the supreme magic weapons of Dawudang, which specialized in dealing with various magic arrays, secret passages, mechanisms, etc. Immediately after the mechanism was touched, two small flaps opened silently downward. The black entrance of the cave that only allowed one person to pass through appeared in front of the two of them, and a powerful demonic aura immediately poured out. Looming stone stairs spread down the mountain. The two of them casually took out the hidden qi talisman and pasted it on each other, and walked down the stairs without hesitation.
The two men who entered the cave walked forward cautiously and cautiously. The cave was pitch black, but fortunately, both of them had night vision, and darkness could not stop the pace of the two heavenly masters. After about a few hundred stone steps down, the terrain finally became gentle, and the stone steps were converted into dirt roads. After a few more miles of travel on the dirt road, I saw the stone steps upward, and the demonic aura finally became more and more intense. The two knew in their hearts that the destination would not be too far away.
The two of them walked up the stairs and walked hundreds of stone steps, when they suddenly heard the voice of a person. Shocked, the two hurriedly hid their bodies and listened with bated breath.
"Lao Gao, I remember the last time you played mahjong, you still lent me 1,000 yuan, when will you pay it back?"
"I said Sun Yu, you are really a mosquito fart (stingy)! When we go back, we will return you immediately. Where do you let me get money where the birds don't?. ”
"Yes, this hellish place! I'm almost out of my horns all this time, and I really have to relax and relax when I go back!"
"Mm-hmm, after tonight, we should go back......"
Qian Xiu and Rufei listened for a while before they figured out that it was two people standing guard chatting. The two of them were thinking in their hearts about how to put down the two standing guards. Qian Xiu waved his hand lightly to Rufei, and then the two of them tiptoed closer to the chatting two.
The two people in charge of standing guard did not realize the approach of danger and were still talking. "Xiao Sun, we have to rub it twice when we go back, I really ...... last time" The two of them suddenly felt a flower in front of them, and before they could react, they were overturned by Qian Xiu and Rufei. Qian Xiu looked up and saw a stone door standing in front of him, and then the two pushed the door in.
Pushing open the stone door, Qian Xiu suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly opened up. I saw that in a valley, there were several rows of houses in a staggered and orderly manner, and there were faint lights coming out of a few rooms. On a piece of flat land in the middle of the valley, there is a small chime peak rising from the ground! From the top of the peak, on all sides, there are nine arm-thick iron chains connected to the ground.
Each chain attached to the ground was tied in the middle of a square pool of blood. The nine pools of blood were bubbling as if liquid had been boiled! Streams of invisible energy bodies climbed up the iron cable. "Blood Sacrifice Pool" Qian Xiu was secretly shocked, remembering that the master once said, "Blood sacrifice is also a kind of evil sacrifice, which is mostly used by evil cultivators, and those who receive blood sacrifices are generally evil spirits or monsters!"
Qian Xiu peeked at Liu Rufei and found that his face was also extremely serious and dignified! He immediately understood that Liu Rufei must have understood the Blood Sacrifice Pool. Both of them know the danger of this trip, and if they are negligent, they are afraid that their lives will be lost here!
