Listening to what the ghost boy said, I was shocked and worried at the same time.

Lin Miao's sudden departure was caused by the arrival of a mysterious woman.

As for what was going on, Lin Miao didn't explain it to me personally, but through the clues he left before leaving, it was pointed out that the mysterious woman who suddenly appeared was a member of the Miao Jiang Gu clan in the 100,000 mountains.

Before I came out of the underground burial lake, I was parasitized by the king of iron wire parasites, and the poison made me unconscious, and life and death were unpredictable.

In order to wake me up, Yan Xiaoying and Lin Miao sneaked into Tianlong Village at night to steal the Gu Clan's secret Lark Pill.

The Bailing Pill is a collection of hundreds of medicinal herbs by the Gu clan to refine, and it is a holy medicine for them to drive away poisonous insects and cultivate Gu things, and it is not spread at all.

The elixir was stolen by outsiders, and they naturally refused to give up without permission. What's more, before that, Lin Miao had stolen the Gu King Corpse Devouring Ant that they had worked so hard to cultivate, and they were even more resentful.

In the 100,000 mountains, they drove the snakes to chase and kill us, and we had to burn down Lin Miao's residence, Lin House, and escape overnight, returning to Heavenly Mountain.

I thought those people wouldn't be able to find them so quickly, but ......

I frowned, before Lin Miao led away the mysterious women from the Gu Clan, I thought they had left Heavenly Mountain, but I didn't expect them to enter here one step ahead of us.

What made me even more unexpected was that Lin Miao, the only remnant of the Gaoshan Clan, who had terrifying strength with a mysterious background, was actually injured.

To be honest, Lin Miao has always given me the impression of being very mysterious, he looks like he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, which is even younger than me. But when they are together, they occasionally show their eyes full of vicissitudes, but they are not like what a young man should have.

Before, I even suspected that he was an old monster who had lived for endless years......

But the facts tell me that there is no elixir for rejuvenating children in this world, at least at my level, I can't touch it.

Lin Miao once had amnesia and forgot some things, although he had explained his life experience to us, but he gave us the feeling that it was becoming more and more mysterious.

But no matter who he is or what kind of background he has, his feelings for us are genuine, and at least when we are with him, we can feel very safe.

It may seem strange to say, but that's exactly how he felt to me.

This is also why when the ghost boy told me just now that Lin Miao was also here, the surprise that appeared in his heart. Subconsciously, I have thought of him as a mysterious, peerless master who can keep us safe.

But it is incredible that such a person was seriously injured, his life was dying, and he was chased and killed.

I asked the ghost boy, do you know where Lin Miao is now?

The ghost boy shook his head and said that he didn't know, this place was mysterious and unpredictable, and there was a lot of space. Even if it blends with the memories of the indigenous people of the area, it is impossible to fully understand how this place came to be.

However, it told me that the cave contained many statues of fierce gods, and that it was a place of sacrifice, and that the people who lived in it used to hold sacrifices in it.

In addition to this, there is a burial platform inside. There is a divine urn in the center of the stage, which was sucked into a deep hole by Bai Youlan before, and then sealed into the divine urn.

There are many deep holes the size of fists under the burial platform, and there are strange creatures in them, and even the ghost boy doesn't know what those creatures are, only that they are very terrifying, and there are many of them.

A place of sacrifice......

I didn't understand what the ghost boy was talking about, so I asked about it.

Through its explanation, I realized that it was a bloody, cruel, and incredible burial place.

It's just that there were no bodies in that place, not even the bones of dead people.

Speaking of which, the ground burial platform is somewhat similar to the clay pot tomb, and both are burial ceremonies held after death. To put it more elegantly, it is a custom of burial corpses, a custom of burial corpses that no one knows.

However, if it is subdivided, the clay pot tomb and the underground burial platform are very different, and the burial ceremony held on the underground burial platform is more strange and bloody and cruel in comparison.

As far as I know before, the clay pot tomb is the burial place chosen by the descendants of the old man when he is in his twilight. It was a cave, and when the old man was still alive, he moved him to live in the cave, and every time his descendants came to deliver food, he would lay a brick at the entrance of the cave before leaving, until the entrance of the cave was completely sealed......

At that time, I thought that this kind of clay pot burial method was incredible, how could there be such a ruthless and cruel burial custom in the world?

You must know that the old people trapped in the cave are their elders, and their closest relatives who give their flesh and blood lives.

The descendants of the old man who are aging and twilight should serve him with filial piety, but they are locked in a cave and sealed in the tomb brick by brick. Even the entrance of the cave was completely sealed, and the old people were still alive, and finally they were starved to death and died alone.

How sad is this?

As a descendant, how can you be so ruthless?

However, after listening to the burial platform ceremony described by the ghost boy, I felt that the old people buried in the clay pot tomb were very lucky, at least they had their own burial pits, and they could also keep the bones after death.

But those who were buried on the burial platform were not so lucky.

The ghost boy said that the people buried on the burial platform are generally people who died in accidents.

When they die, their bodies are cleaned, marinated and stored in secret ingredients, and then carried to the burial platform for burial ceremonies.

The so-called burial ceremony is that the executioner dissects the corpse, divides it into countless small pieces, places it in the platform, and then summons those strange creatures living in the deep cave and feeds them with corpse meat.

The creatures devoured the flesh of the corpses, and in the end there were not even bones left.

Although I have seen countless disgusting scenes, I still feel my scalp tingle when I think of the scene of decomposing the corpse, what kind of burial ritual is this? It's clearly using corpses to feed those creatures.

It turns out that those things eat corpse meat, no wonder even ghost children think they are scary.

I couldn't help but think of the monitor lizards I had encountered on the island in the center of the burial lake, which also ate the flesh of carrion, even the living......

Listening to what the ghost boy said, I immediately thought of the celestial burials that circulated in the western region.

Legend has it that celestial burial is a traditional Tibetan funeral ritual in which a person's body is moved to a designated location after death for vultures to devour. It is essentially a social tradition, but also a spiritual belief and a way of mourning for the deceased.

In their thinking, the meaning of celestial burial is the immortality of the soul and the reincarnation of the reincarnation, death is only the separation of the immortal soul from the decaying body, and they believe that feeding the vulture with a skin bag is the most noble almsgiving.

This method embodies the highest state of Mahayana jackfruit, which is self-sacrificing.

After all, the Buddha also fed tigers with his body.

In general, it was a religious practice that gradually transformed into a historical and cultural extension.

Different religious beliefs and different customs of each race may be difficult for outsiders to understand, but for them it is a spiritual symbol that cannot be desecrated.

I thought to myself, those strange creatures in the burial table, I wonder if they are the things of belief of those aborigines?

What kind of creature would it be?

In addition to the burial platform, there are also those fierce god statues, and the ghost boy mentioned to me that those fierce gods are suspected to be mountain god statues, that is, the eighteen mountain gods who fought the two-headed evil dragon with Jingmei at the beginning.

Overall, the cave is a strange and unpredictable place, with many taboos and unthinkable things.

I listened with palpitations, but fortunately I hadn't been forced into the deep cave by those rotting bones before, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Taking a deep breath, I suddenly remembered something and asked the ghost boy, since it fused the memories of those people, I don't know where the group that lived here before had gone? Is it a migration or a danger of destruction?

The ghost boy shook his head and said he didn't know, though it fused with the memories of the ghosts. But once a person dies, even if the soul remains, the memory of the life will be lost, unless there is a very deep obsession to remember a few things.

Knowing some of the secrets of this place, I had some heart palpitations and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Although there were ghost boys who led the way to avoid many dangerous places, after all, I was dragging my crippled body and could not travel long distances, so I rested under a big tree.

I lit a cigarette and smoked it, spitting clouds and mist.

This canyon forest was bigger than I expected, and the terrain was complicated, and I wouldn't know where to go if it weren't for the ghost boy leading the way.

The most important point is that the ghost boy told me that it had found Yang Feng's traces, and it was also going in this direction, and this direction was the direction where the towering giant tree was located.

Looking at the dense green branches and leaves around me, I couldn't help but think of Lao Fei and Yan Xiaoying.

At first, I was going to come in by myself to look for Jingmei, but I didn't expect that by mistake, several of us actually came in.

I wonder if the disappearance of Lao Fei and Yan Xiaoying will have something to do with Lin Miao being chased and killed by a mysterious woman?

Why did Lin Miao and the mysterious woman of the Gu clan appear here?

I have a lot of questions that I can't figure out, so I have to take one step at a time.

After a short rest, I continued to walk deeper and shallower, stepping on the dead leaves and mud.

In this process, it is inevitable that I will be crawled on my body by vampire leeches, but it may be because my blood contains the toxins of the little red snake, but it is not like Yang Feng before, full of vampire leeches.

The trek is treacherous and difficult, so there is no need to go into details.

Towards dusk, we finally walked out of the canyon forest.

In fact, it's not so much about going out of the canyon forest as you are going to the deepest part of the forest.

There are no dense tall trees in front of them, and some are giant tree rhizomes that cling to the ground like the body of a snake, twisting and turning infinitely.

The rhizomes are intertwined with each other, like mountains, covering a wide area of miles in a radius.

It's hard to imagine that the rhizome of a single tree can extend such a long distance, and the huge root system of the giant tree forms a complex terrain in front of it.

From a distance, it looks like a huge arm falling from the sky, clinging to the ground tightly, and its scene is spectacular, making people's hearts sway, and they can't help themselves.

There are no branches and leaves of trees to cover me, and when I look up, I see the branches of the giant tree extending, like black dragons dancing in the sky, and in the center, there are black clouds gathering, and the demonic aura is monstrous, and the red palace can no longer be seen.

This situation is like a dream.

Although it is not the first time to see this towering giant tree, it is still shocking to look at it up close at this time.

An ancient, vicissitudes, and demonic aura came to my face.

In front of this big tree, even the nine peaks surrounding it seemed a little small.

The rhizome of the large tree in front is covered with a thick layer of earth, where unknown mushrooms grow, as well as other plants.

Resting at the edge of the tree's massive root system to regain his strength, Ghost Boy found something nearby.

It was a knife, a scythe-like weapon.

I recognized this knife as the Death Scythe that Lin Miao was carrying, this knife was very sharp, it was his beloved thing, and it could not be lost, but now it fell here.

The scythe was stained with blood, the blood had coagulated, but it was still fresh.

It looks like the knife has been here for a while, but it shouldn't be too long......
