Chapter 126: The Place of the Sacrifice
After some discussion, a few of us walked into the cave with our feet up, and carefully explored the cave entrance all the way in.
The entrance to the cave seemed to have been carved by a human being, but because it was in disrepair and no one had entered, it was smooth but slippery, and if one was not careful, it would slip, but after a while we were in the depths of the hole.
At the end of the cave, there was a huge space in front of you, as if the people who had made this sacrificial site had hollowed out the mountain. In the upper part of the cave entrance there is a large cave, through which the sunlight shines in, making the whole cave bright and visible, completely different from the dim scenery outside.
The beam of light that came through the hole formed a circle, and in it there was a large round platform, on which lay a man, dressed in a red wedding dress, and I frowned at the man, could it be that it was the priestess?
I walked over quickly, and the woman lying on it turned out to be Liang Yue'er!
The round platform and its surroundings were stained with dried blood, which was enough to show that this was the place of worship in the ancient village, and Liang Yue'er, who was wearing a red wedding dress, had her eyes closed, and her face did not change in the slightest, but her face was extremely pale.
Atcha stepped forward, reached out to probe her snort, and said, "She's dead." ”
Why should a person who is already dead be placed on this round platform? I couldn't help but be a little curious, and as I approached her, I accidentally touched her arm, and a white ball slipped out of her hand.
"White beads?" When I saw this bead, I thought of the one from Lao Zhangtou's family, but shouldn't it be in Xu Hong's hand? How could it be in Liang Yue'er's hands?
I leaned down to pick up the bead, and just as I was about to get it, a man suddenly rushed out from behind me, hitting one of my staggers, and the bead rolled off into the distance.
"Chu Xinrou?" When I saw the person who hit me, I was instantly stunned on the spot, wasn't she devoured by the evil spirit? How did it end up here?
"Acha!" I shouted sharply, Acha immediately reacted and rushed over and threw Chu Xinrou to the ground, I seized the opportunity to cross the two of them and picked up the beads and looked at them in the palm of my hand.
At this moment, Chu Xinrou let out a loud cry and shook Acha away, and Acza was knocked into the rock wall of the cave by her power, spitting blood from his mouth when he fell, clutching his chest and unable to move.
I saw that he should have injured his ribs, I subconsciously protected the beads on my chest, and Chu Xinrou in front of me rushed over with an arrow step, and her flying foot was about to kick my chest.
But in the next second, a beam of golden light burst out from my chest, Chu Xinrou was hit by the golden light, and retreated again and again, staring at me fiercely, looking like she wanted to get close but didn't dare to get close.
Looking down, it was the ghost suppression talisman on my chest, could it be that Chu Xinrou was dead? So why can she appear during the day? And why do you want this white bead?
"Brother Zhengxin, save me!" The cries for help from the thunderclouds were heard.
I turned my head to see that Xiao Tian was holding a dagger across Lei Yun's neck, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "If you want to save his life, give me the beads." ”
At this moment, Xiao Tian's voice was a woman's voice, and I frowned at him and asked, "Who are you?" Are you not Xiao Tian, or do you mean that Xiao Tian didn't exist at all from beginning to end? ”
Xiao Tian snorted coldly and smiled disdainfully: "I am him, he is me, if it weren't for me, he would have died a long time ago, just borrow his body." ”
Hearing Xiao Tian say this, I couldn't help but think that Xiao Tian and Xu Xiaoqiong had entered the ancient village before, could it be that Xiao Tian was already dead at that time?
"You're a priestess." I said in a deep voice.
"You're really smart." Xiao Tian raised his eyes to me and continued, "I brought them here, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to borrow his body to leave here." ”
I looked at Xiao Tian puzzled and asked, "Why?" They have no grievances with you, you don't have to do this, what good is it for you to bring them in and kill them all? ”
"The benefits? Nature is the benefit of getting out of here. Xiao Tian's eyes kept staring at the beads on my chest, his eyes full of greed, "Only by choosing the smartest one from the batches of people who come in, can I use him to find a way out, they are all stupid human beings, and they deserve to die." ”
Human life is like an ant in the eyes of the priestess, and I am afraid that no one who came in before has taken her into the temple, so she can only attach herself to Xiao Tian's body, and it seems that Xiao Tian has died before.
"Give me the beads, or I'll kill him!" The priestess's hand suddenly exerted force, and the dagger suddenly cut a bloody mark on Thundercloud's neck, and Thundercloud looked at me with a terrified look for help.
In order to save Thundercloud's life, I had to throw the bead in the direction of the priestess, who pushed Thundercloud away, jumped up and caught the bead, and then she swallowed it.
The thunderclouds ran to my side and hid behind me in fear, and at this moment the priestess gradually shed a layer of human skin, gradually revealing her original appearance.
Dressed in a red and dark cloak, she held a wooden stick in her hand, and a green flame lingered above the stick, and her figure also showed a kind of graceful appearance, and her delicate hands became withered and wrinkled hands, and the whole person gave people the feeling of evil.
Now she had lost her appearance and returned to her original appearance, exactly like the witch who boiled medicine from human bones painted on the temple gate.
And Chu Xinrou, who was originally standing in the distance, gradually walked towards the priestess and made a ritual of worship to her, and then her body ignited a faint flame until it swallowed her whole person, leaving only a black flower.
Chu Xinrou is actually a flower?
She was supposed to be a priestess doll made of flowers, in order to get closer to other people, no wonder she had a flower mark on her neck.
The priestess walked slowly to the round platform, reached out and touched Liang Yue'er lying on the round platform, "What a handsome girl, what a pity, why should you bear those things that you shouldn't have to bear." ”
Suddenly, the priestess raised her head, looked fiercely in our direction, and said, "Where is the holy thing?" Call him out, and I will spare your lives and let you out. ”
"Relic?" I suddenly remembered that Xu Hong still had a bead in his hand, which should be the holy object that the priestess said, I looked at Xu Hong, he had already retreated into the distance, as if he didn't expect it.
The priestess also seemed to notice Xu Hong, her eyes looked in Xu Hong's direction, her thoughts seemed to drift far away, and she said after a long time: "Why do you lie to me? Why? ”
