Chapter 170: It Turned Out to Be It!
After the nine-tailed white fox disappeared from the city gate, I sighed, then pushed the gate open, and led the team inside.
Here and in the photo, many old and barren ancient buildings, the streets on the ground are fitted with stone slabs, and now there are many cracks, some cracks have grown in the cracks, and some are simply replaced by tree trunks, these shapes are peculiar, and the Central Plains architectural style is not very similar, but it seems to be the structure of some ethnic minorities.
It is the kind of structure that is flat at the top and round at the bottom, although the house is also made of wooden pillars as beams, but the structure is relatively different, the shape is like a yurt, but it is not a tent but a house made of wood and earth, and the two also have a two-story structure, and the wooden doors and windows of each house are engraved with strange totems, and continue to walk, to a place similar to the vicinity of the market square, there is a towering bronze statue of the god.
At first glance, I thought that this god was like a ram, but when I looked closer, I found that it was a god with a sheep's head and a human body, holding a witch staff, with a ** look, dressed in sackcloth, and a snake and scorpion on each shoulder.
"The totem outside the door of the house just now is the candle dragon totem advocated by the Blood Pupil Clan, this statue is the high priest of the Wu clan in the legend of their Blood Pupil Clan, the legend says that he was selected as a sacrifice when he was born, and the ghost fire burned it into black ash ashes, but it relied on its own magical powers, borrowed the corpse to return the soul, borrowed the body of the sheep, gradually grew up, and then grew into a human form, so its prestige greatly increased, and everyone admired his boundless magic power, and worshiped him as the high priest in charge of the Wu clan rituals." Yun Wen said.
"It's very interesting, but this is also a trick used by the feudal superstitious ancients, who made up some ghosts and gods by themselves, so that everyone could worship and worship them, so as to answer the role of winning the hearts of the people, it really feels like a strategy to fool the people, but they just want to control the spiritual orientation." I said.
"The origin of the treasures is mentioned on the heavenly fragment, and when it comes to these, it also mentions this half-sheep and half-human high priest, whose real name is unknown, but when later generations mention it, he is called Antelope Witch, he is also the creator of the Yin Eclipse Pot of the Blood Pupil Clan and the living corpse refining to prolong life, before that, the living sacrifice was just a ritual for their Blood Pupil Clan to worship the heavens, and after creation, the Blood Pupil Clan began to really refine the corpse of the living person, so you say that this person is just Du Su, and I don't know whether it is right or wrong." Yun Wen said.
"Maybe there is such a person, but it is only demonized or deified, maybe after all, a sheep looks like a human, which is not scientifically possible, and the DNA arrangement of people is much worse." I said.
Yun Wen smiled, and then the two of us stopped discussing it.
Walk a short distance in front of the square, there is a river in the city, there is a lonely bridge on the river, it is simple, lead the horse to push the wooden ox and flow the horse over, wait before and after the line, cross the bridge, it is a vacant land, it is estimated that it is also the market used for the previous exchange, but now the vacant area here is very large, it seems to be a little empty, and then look carefully, here vaguely see some objects, and here is incompatible.
I went over to investigate, for example, I saw that the thing that had fallen somewhere on the ground was a deck of playing cards, and the skin had become serious and faded after the wind and rain, and I picked it up and looked at it, and immediately I was very puzzled, this playing card originated in Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and this kind of paper could not have appeared in ancient times, so it was judged that it was later, and the only possibility was that those dead soldiers were left.
I looked around, and then I became alert, where is this, I remember the forty-nine photos of the dead left on the ground in the pocket of the "City of Death" project in the office of the underground factory, almost all of them were taken in this area, and I recalled in my mind that all kinds of photos can correspond to the perspective at this moment, the focus of the vista brought by the angle, the layout of the surrounding scenery and roads, the things that can be included in the field of vision...
At this time, the sky is cloudy, and the little sunlight is obscured, which is the so-called obscuring the sky and the sun.
"Why are you killing people here, why are you all dying here in the first place?" I couldn't help but whisper to myself.
Until this time, I saw Yun Wen squatting down to check the place, and immediately understood that there were four cracks in the center of the stone road, the left and right spans were long, and the upper and lower spans were short, but their respective spans were very neat, that is, a large object placed on it before, and there were four legs, and in terms of length and width, it looked like it!
"You seem to have placed a bronze tripod." Yun Wen said.
My head buzzed!
If it is really as Yun Wen said, this vacant area is not used to buy vegetables in the market, but is specially used to sacrifice the living and refine the corpse to prolong life, otherwise how could the bronze tripod used for sacrificing people be at this end? So, this is the sacrificial area, and the fifty soldiers of the Black Skull Organization died because of it!
"Run!" I shouted.
Yun Wen took a moment, but when she saw me like this, she immediately turned the horse's head and prepared to go back to the bridge with me, but then something strange happened, the simple lonely bridge was passively suspended and stood up, how is this mechanical technique the same as in the post station? And I heard a sound not far away, it was the sound of someone turning to promote the rotation of the gear shaft.
After listening to it for two or three months, I already knew this voice by heart.
Yun Wen's face was pale, and she wanted to pull Sanfu to hide behind me, but Sanfu was frightened and began to run and struggle restlessly, Yun Wen couldn't hold it, and I hurried over to help.
"Dog three!" Yun Wen wanted to chase after her, but I stopped her.
"Don't go, the horse runs faster than us, and we chase a lot when we go, and even if we catch up, we can't control the frightened horse, and besides, we can't protect ourselves now, and letting it stay here may be a dead end." I said.
Yun Wen listened to my analysis and calmed down a lot, but she was still very nervous and tightened me, clinging to me, her body trembled, and said: "It's getting dark, our mission should fail, I'm sorry, it's my bad idea, we didn't find the red-eyed monster, and we entered the city, it seems that we are dead." ”
I hugged her, let her lean on my chest, and said, "Damn it can't live, it shouldn't be alive or dead, don't be afraid, with me, I'll accompany you." ”
Yun Wen looked at me, her trembling body eased a little, and nodded seriously.
At this time, there was a sound of clanging nearby, and my nerves immediately tensed, it was the sound of something shuttling on the roof, and I quietly relieved the eight gestures, "Lin, Bing, Fight, Person, All, Array, Column, In, Front", and then let Yun Wen be optimistic about the wooden ox and flowing horse, I held the Jinque Sword, and touched the left pocket with my left hand, which was a large string of wooden pieces of Heavenly Master Charms, and made sword fingers with my left hand, pinching a piece.
"Be careful." When Yun Wen let go of me, she said with concern.
"I will." I responded.
Then stepped forward, at this time, a bang, before it arrived, the pair of red blood pupils were already in the gray and black environment under the dark clouds, especially abrupt, I was full of nervousness, I don't know if I can deal with it, and I don't know what the other party is, but I fought once two days ago, but I was crushed with all my strength, if it wasn't for the nine-tailed white fox howling to lure it away, I'm afraid I would have been bleeding and scared to death by hallucinations.
At this time, knock, knock, knock...
The sound of footsteps kept coming, and the huge figure slowly walked out from behind the building, and when I saw its appearance, I immediately opened my mouth wide in surprise.
I saw the ape clan in front of me, dressed in animal skin, but the shape and appearance were almost the same as the Bigfoot monster I had seen before, the feet were very large, the whole body was covered with black hard hair, the face of a man like an ape, and the cunning gaze, but the difference was that this Bigfoot monster was smaller than the first one, and I could look at it at eye level, and it was not as strong as it.
Moreover, the keen eyes have long eyelashes, and the animal skin is slightly protruding under the neck bone, which is obviously some kind of feminine trait!
"Oh my boy, you're the she-Bigfoot who uses living people for courtship every day? You came to kill me, it won't be to avenge your husband! I screamed.
Strangely, however, she walked in a strange and stiff manner, much worse than the surprised posture I had seen before with the bigfoot monster on the top of the mountain...
