Chapter 168: Mysterious Sacrifice
After the fright of the cave, Zhu Mingyang and the others withdrew from the cave, and the bonfire at the entrance of the cave was still burning, bringing a trace of warmth to everyone, but the wind and snow were still there, and they didn't know when it would be clear.

Zhu Mingyang did it next to the bonfire, and inadvertently took out Cuicui and picked up the thread-shaped ancient book next to the corpse, the book had no cover and was bound with kraft paper, but it fell a thick layer of ash, Zhu Mingyang gently dusted it with his sleeves, and found that the book was actually insect-eaten, and a thin book was moth-eaten by insects.
"Looks like this book is a bit old!" Cuicui said with a book on her head.
"It's so nervous, it's more mysterious than the opening of the Heavenly God Scroll!" Xu Yue'er looked at this ancient book and remembered the Open Heaven God Scroll on Zhu Mingyang's body.
"Maybe it's the next volume of the Open Heavenly God?" Zhu Mingyang grinned and said.
"Are you really willing to leave us behind and return to your so-called distant homeland by yourself?" Xu Yue'er glanced at Zhu Mingyang.
Zhu Mingyang didn't pay attention to Xu Yue'er, and after handling the book, he turned the first page of the ancient book, and everyone came over when they saw this. There is no text on the ancient book, but it is illustrations, and the faint ink has left traces although it has been for some years.
Zhu Mingyang flipped a few pages at random, most of the illustrations were painted with some characters, these characters were lifelike, if they could be brought back, maybe the works made by a famous artist could be sold for a lot of money, thinking of this, Zhu Mingyang smiled faintly.
"Childe, these paintings are so strange!" Suddenly, Li Chunfeng, who was beside Zhu Mingyang, said slowly.
"What's weird? Isn't it just a few characters, how can I see it strange? Zhu Mingyang stared at the book and said.
"Childe, do you think these people are holding some kind of activities?" Li Chunfeng pointed to a group of people in the ancient book.
Zhu Mingyang looked at the place where Li Chunfeng pointed his finger, and the picture showed a tribe, a group of strangely dressed people sitting on the ground, and a high platform was built in front of them, but a thick wooden pillar was placed on top of the high platform.
Zhu Mingyang turned another page, but when he saw that on this page, the people on the ground stood up, and there were eight more burly men on the screen, and these eight burly men carried a woman towards the high platform.
When Zhu Mingyang turned to the third page, the woman who was carried by the burly man was tied to the wooden pillar, while the eight burly men were holding bundles of firewood and placed them at the feet of the people on the pillar.
The picture on page 4 depicts a general-like man standing on a high platform with a square wooden block, as if speaking to the people in the audience.
On the fifth page, the firewood at the feet of the tied girl was lit, and Zhu Mingyang seemed to see the painful expression on the woman's brow, while this group of strangely dressed people danced around the girl.
"What kind of broken thing is this painting, and it is going to burn a living person alive! But how can this woman look so familiar, where do you seem to have seen it! Xu Yue'er looked at the picture on the ancient book and said.
"Yes, I also think this woman is so familiar!" Cuicui also felt that the woman in the picture was familiar.
After listening to Xu Yue'er and Cuicui's words, everyone also felt that the woman in this picture seemed familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen it.
Zhu Mingyang turned to the last side of the ancient book, but the picture on the last page was extremely weird. The picture records that a large hole suddenly appeared in the sky, and from this large hole floated down a person, and under the person was a high haystack that had been prepared, and it seemed that this person must have landed on the haystack.
"Husband, how is this person exactly like you?" Suddenly, Cuicui screamed as if she had found something.
Zhu Mingyang took a closer look, and found that the person in the picture seemed to be a modern person, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a parted hairstyle, which made Zhu Mingyang familiar and unfamiliar.
"How so? Am I also called back in this way by this sacrifice? Zhu Mingyang closed the ancient book and said in surprise.
"Childe, are you saying that this person is from your country?" Li Chunfeng also felt incredible.
"Exactly! It's just that why is there such an ancient book in this cave, and who are the bones on the ground? Zhu Mingyang put his fingers in his bun and thought about it.
"Childe, although we don't know whose bones belong to this earth, one thing is certain, they are holding a sacrifice for the purpose of summoning a person from a distant country where you are, and you look at these priests, don't you think they are dressed very specially?" Li Chunfeng looked at Zhu Mingyang and asked.
"Special? Yes, each of them dresses differently! Zhu Mingyang stared at the ancient book and said.
"As far as I know, these priests are dressed in the costumes of different races, you see this is a unique decoration of the Turks, this is a unique decoration of the Tibetans, this is the costume of the Jin, this is the costume of the Hui, this is the costume of the Nanzhao......" Li Chunfeng introduced the priests in the picture in detail.
"You are saying that this priest is made up of people from different countries, that is, this sacrifice needs to be performed by priests of different tribes." Zhu Mingyang asked in surprise.
"Indeed, so I think that ancient book should have been left by this Tibetan priest!" Li Chunfeng then said.
"However, why don't we have Han priests?" Zhu Mingyang suddenly thought of something.
"Isn't the general with the wooden block a Han Chinese? I think these priests were instructed by this Han general. Li Chunfeng pointed to the picture and said.
"It makes sense, I can't imagine that there is an illustrated version of this Open Heaven God Scroll!" Zhu Mingyang took out the half-scroll Open Heavenly God Scroll from his underwear.
"Don't you have to find a way back?" Xu Yue'er suddenly blushed and asked.
"Why do you ask?" Zhu Mingyang asked suspiciously.
"If you leave, what will Cuicui and I do?" Xu Yue'er had a rare shyness on her face.
Zhu Mingyang turned his head to look at Cuicui, Cuicui also stared at himself deeply, Zhu Mingyang was very confused, he didn't know how to answer Xu Yue'er, after all, he was not from this Tang Dynasty, and that distant place had his own parents and his own home, but he couldn't let go of Cuicui and Xu Yue'er.
"I ......" Zhu Mingyang is difficult to decide.
"Speaking of fun, I just hope you can remember me and Cuicui when you go back!" Xu Yue'er's face forced a wry smile.
"Cuicui, Yue'er......" Zhu Mingyang stared at the two and nodded deeply.
"I don't know when this snow will stop!" Gao Yanyan stretched out her hand outside the cave, and the snowflakes floated in the palm of her hand.
"In the afternoon, this snow will stop!" Li Chunfeng looked up at Tianliang and spit out a few words...... (To be continued.) )
