Chapter 215: The Altar
After turning the first few corners, we came to a large and empty cavern and visually measured the area of two basketball courts.
I looked overhead, and I always felt like there was a cloud of smoke covering it, and it was so gray that I couldn't tell its height, and I couldn't see what it was.
I walked around the cave and lit all the candles.
The first thing I felt about this cave was that it was a place where some kind of grand ceremony was held, or that it was like an altar.
The most interesting thing here is that in the center of it, a three-story stepped stone platform with a width of about one meter, inexplicably appears there, and the surrounding area is empty, without stone pillars and decorations.
As I walked up the stairs, I had a strong feeling in my heart that there must be something else here, or that it was, or that it still is, but I couldn't see it.
The smell of decay, the devout offerings, and the screams of evil, I seem to see the past here, and I am in it.
Sometimes, intuition is a terrible thing, and the more you think about it, the more you believe it will be true. It goes over and over again in your mind, from a general idea to a detail, to a refinement until you finally get caught up in your own intuition, and then you try your best to prove that what you see is the truth itself, and that positive and eager to prove is uncontrollable.
I took a step forward, and I was now desperate to prove that what I had seen by my intuition was true.
Xiao Chou suddenly stopped me.
I said, "Xiao Chou, there must be some reason why the Immortals will come here, this is definitely not what we see, there must be other things here." And until now, there has been no movement in the Immortal Spirit Rune, indicating that there should be no danger. β
Xiao Chou looked at me with some hesitation.
I asked, "Do you believe me?" β
Xiao Chou lowered his arm and nodded at me.
Xiao Chou and I have walked for so long to come here, and the people who will come here should have walked the same path as us, turning around just to see a three-story stone staircase?
This is clearly unreasonable.
When I stepped on the stone steps for the first time, I paused and carefully watched the situation around me for a while, and for a long time, it was as quiet as ever, and there was nothing unusual.
When the second foot stepped on it, there was still no change, and Xiao Chou also vigilantly observed the surrounding situation during the period.
If there is something to do at this time, or a person jumps out to scare us, it is all expected to be terrifying, and the more it is like this unchanged status quo, the more nervous it is to suffocate.
I simply stood on the top stone staircase with both feet, and before I could stand on this foot, my feet began to shake violently. Leaning forward, he stepped out, thinking that he would jump to the ground, but unexpectedly, a stone platform half a meter wide was cushioned at his feet, which was parallel to the top stone staircase, and extended straight forward.
Two rows of stone pillars and parapets appeared on both sides of the platform, and every few meters there were a pair of symmetrical stoves burning in the furnaces.
Flames also lit up one after another on the surrounding walls, and those flames seemed to peek out from the cracks of the bricks, and the whole cavern was brightly lit in the blink of an eye.
Before, I thought that there were just some patterns carved on the walls, but now I found that it was full of Uyghur language, and the same is true for the roof of the cave. I'm curious to know what such a tirade is about, but unfortunately I can't read a word.
The stone platform extends to the opposite wall, and a large relief of a dragon emerges from the entire wall.
The carving is exquisite, and every part of it is intricately stacked from beginning to end. After all, relief carving is a very professional technique, and I can't see the extra doorway, I just feel that this dragon is awe-inspiring and majestic. Those King Kong eyes were angry, and there was a faint contempt for all beings like ants.
It can be seen that the carver's worship and obedience to it has reached an extreme state.
The dragon leaped from the surface of the water, and every wave under it was vividly depicted...... When I saw this, I noticed that the dragon had no four legs, no wings, and was covered in scales......
Could it be that this is carved with a drought?
There is a stone table in front of the relief, and a candlestick is placed on each side, if it is an altar, why is there no sacrifice in the middle? Could it be that the sacrifice is a living creature?
"Xiao Chou, this is really an altar, but who will go to sacrifice the drought dragon?"
Xiao Chou also looked puzzled.
I walked along the stone platform towards the relief, and as I passed the first pair of stoves on either side, the flames in the furnaces suddenly went out. I stopped, looked around, and after a while I saw that there was no vision, I continued to walk. After that, the flame inside will be extinguished every time you pass through a pair of stoves.
I stood in front of the last pair of stoves, which were also the closest to the altar. After hesitating for a moment, I just moved one foot when the screams in the Immortal Spirit Rune suddenly appeared, and I quickly withdrew my foot.
Xiao Chou suddenly dragged me off the stone platform, and before I could react, he pulled me into the cave where I was going.
"Xiao Chou, what's wrong?"
Bai Sandao, "Troublemaker!" β
"What's wrong with me?" I asked, confused.
Before following Xiao Chou into the cave, I glanced back and saw that the stone table behind me began to descend slowly, and the flames in the cracks in the stone walls were also extinguished one by one.
"Bai San, what the hell is this......"
Bai San said, "I don't know what you did just now, anyway, it's already a mess next door now!" β
"Next door?" I reacted the next second, "You said in the Immortal Rune?" There was a commotion, but as I withdrew my feet, they had quieted down. β
"You're quiet, I'm still noisy here!" Bai San said dissatisfied, "I don't believe you let the Spirit King let go of his hand, you see that if he doesn't use spiritual power to help you block the source of sound, your eardrums are still there!" β
I looked at Xiao Chou holding my hand, and said in my heart, could it be that I used Xiaofen's spiritual power again? A veritable all-powerful spiritual power!
After a while, we ran to the same hole that had first crossed through the trunk of the tree, but Xiao Chou still kept his speed unabated, as if something was chasing us behind us.
It can't be a drought, right?
At this time, I also heard a loud movement from behind, like the sound of hitting the tunnel.
With a thirsty and thirsty drought in my head, I rampage through the winding tunnels in pursuit of the two fleeing sacrifices......
The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, "Is it still daytime outside?" We're safe to run out, right? β
Bai San said, "The sun has already set. β
"It's okay, it's okay, we'll always keep a safe distance of ten meters from the darthorn at that time, and slowly consume it until dawn!"
Bai San said, "Let's go out first." β
After a few words, I saw a wall appear in the distance, and my heart sank, "It's broken, Xiao Chou, I've run to the end, what should I do?" β
It shouldn't be possible to hit a way out of life by relying on speed, and sure enough, Xiao Chou also slowed down.
When I got closer, I found two tunnels on the left and right sides of the end, and I was overjoyed and excited, "It's time to die!" β
Xiao Chou stood at the fork in the road and looked at me.
"You let me choose?" I was surprised, "You don't know which way to go?" β
Xiao Chou shook his head.
Bai San said, "Right! β
"Bai San chose the right." I said.
After Xiao Chou heard this, he pulled me into the right hole quickly, this time running was extremely difficult, because I could clearly feel that we were running uphill, and the slope was not small.
After about half a cigarette, a one-story staircase appeared in front of me, and from this angle, it looked like the basement of an ordinary house, with a closed opening at the top of the staircase covered by a wooden board.
Xiao Chou walked up first, but he didn't push it for the first time, presumably because something very heavy was pressed on the wooden board. I also hurriedly went up to help, but I didn't expect the wooden board to be surprisingly heavy, and we pushed it a few times, but it didn't move.
How did Xiaofen come out before? Could it be that he chose the left side?
"Bai San, what kind of path did you choose?" As I exerted my strength, I complained, "Is there a mountain sitting on this?" Even Xiao Chou's divine power can't be pushed away! β
Xiao Chou suddenly stopped and stopped pushing.
I looked at him, "Xiao Chou, don't give up, our trip is not without gains, at least we found the restaurant of the drought!" I continued to push the plank, "We will definitely escape, and after we get out, we will plan the next hunt, the meaning of life is to use the never-ending tossing to set off the peace after death." β
I'm so tired that I can't speak incoherently and don't know what I'm talking about. Xiao Chou shook my wrist and motioned for me to stop.
I thought to myself, what's wrong with this guy, could it be that he thought he couldn't escape, so he began to regret running with me for such a trip, right?
At this time, Bai San said, "I didn't chase after me." β
"Huh?" I stopped, sat down and gasped, "Didn't chase me?" β
I listened carefully, it didn't seem to be the sound of the impact, there was a narrow corner on the road I ran over just now, I hit it, was that stupid stuck?
I asked, "Are we going back to the fork in the road now and go the other way?" β
As soon as the words fell, a voice suddenly came from the top of my headβ
"Senior brother, are you sure he's here?"
"We are the first immortals, and if we say yes, it must be."
"But why would an evil spirit be in such a place?"
Who? Ruling on the beginning of immortals?
Are they from the fairy realm? Why isn't it the person who broke the fan this time?
