Chapter Seventy-Seven: Mysterious Ruins
"Reporter, reporter, what the fuck are you doing?"
The Taoist priest shouted several times in a row, and when he saw that I didn't respond, he noticed my strangeness, and hurriedly came to me, rolled my eyelids and checked it, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he shouted at the old man: "Senior, it's too bad, the reporter can't bear the wind blowing, and he has lost his soul." ”
The old man's face changed, and he also rushed over.
"How is it possible, didn't I give him the statue of Bawu?" As he spoke, he grabbed my hand and squeezed it, and then stared at my Yin Tang, his face suddenly turned pale.
The Taoist priest patted his head, suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "He doesn't know the way of witchcraft, and he won't make that thing for you." ”
"How is this possible, he is Miao Xiangu's grandson, how can he not understand witchcraft? …… Alas, why didn't you say it earlier? The old man's face was ugly, and he patted me on the shoulder as he spoke, and suddenly a warm current flowed into my body from his palm, and I was shocked in my heart, and said that this is the legendary internal force?
The warm current lasted for a while, but it didn't change my condition in the slightest, and the old man reluctantly withdrew his hand, staring at the Taoist priest and strangling him.
My body was cold and stiff, out of the control of my consciousness, but I could clearly feel their conversation, although I didn't know what the situation of the lost soul was, but looking at the old man's helpless appearance, the situation seemed not optimistic.
They discussed for a while, but there was still no way, but I felt the black line on my arm begin to rhythm, like a heartbeat, and slowly, the cold in my body began to surge towards my right hand, as if swallowed by the black line, and then my whole body regained consciousness.
The paralysis of consciousness disappeared, I shivered, and a sneeze suddenly went out, and the Taoist priest stood directly opposite me, and was immediately sprayed with my saliva.
"Cold... I'm cold! ”
The Taoist priest looked at me with a bewildered expression, the whole person was stunned, and even forgot to wipe the saliva on his face, and suddenly shouted: "It's not good, the external evil has entered the body, this guy has become a sperm." ”
I kicked him and scolded, "You're a fucking talent, quick, give me your coat, I'm dying of cold." ”
The Taoist priest's original clothes had been scorched by thunder, and now he was wearing the old man's clothes, and the cold was relieved after I put on the clothes, but the gusts of wind still made me very uncomfortable.
The old man looked at me in surprise, but after all, he didn't ask much, and took the statue of Ba Wu in my hand, and gave me a piece of wood to hang again. The pendant was untied from his neck, it was an extremely vicious-looking twelve-armed statue, I don't know what it was at this moment, but the moment I took the pendant, the cold feeling suddenly disappeared.
The Taoist priest asked me what was going on, saying that I had lost my soul just now, so how could I have nothing to do at all? I couldn't figure it out myself, so I had to raise my hand and say that it might be a curse.
He wanted to ask again, but I hurriedly asked, "You just said that the bones of those children were found?" ”
"Well, I found it!" As he spoke, he pointed to the pile of bones.
I hurriedly stepped forward and found that the bones on the ground were piled up in a haphazard pile, and it was impossible to tell which part belonged to which, but without exception, all the bones were very small and not yet fully developed. I counted the number of skulls again, thirty-three, which corresponds to the thirty-three children in the photo.
There was black gas on the bones, which made these skeletons look extremely terrible under the cold light of the flashlight, but I knew what these children had experienced at that time, so I was not so scared, more sympathetic.
The tragedy that happened thirty years ago, the old man seemed to know some of the inside story, and he couldn't stop sighing in the face of these corpses, saying that these were poor babies, what a sin!
I couldn't bear these bones to be discarded so indiscriminately, and I wanted to help them collect them, but I was stopped by the Taoist priest.
"No, these children died unwillingly before they were born, and their resentment was extremely heavy, and the corpses were left here and blown by the wind for decades, and they have long been infected with the breath of the underworld, and their good thoughts have been lost, so they have turned into evil spirits. If their corpses are moved, the ghasts outside will definitely feel it, and if they rush back, we will have no way to live. Moreover, the corpse has turned into rotten bones, messed together, and you can't tell who is who, if the splicing is wrong, it will only make its resentment heavier, and the ghast soul will be more evil, at that time, I am afraid it will not be as simple as the death of Fengyang Town. ”
I looked at the old man and found that he nodded his head rarely, agreeing with the Taoist priest's words, and I couldn't help but feel a little empty.
"Alright, let's go, we're running out of time!" As he spoke, the old man walked into the crack where the wind blew.
It is said to be a crack, but it is actually more like a canyon, with the top of the head as black as ink, and the special black rocks on both sides have become extremely round after the erosion of the wind for many years, some like giant pebbles in the riverbed.
Now it is almost certain that the tragedy that happened in the school was done by the villagers who stole the gold mines, and in order to use the school to achieve their mining goals, these people have gone crazy to such a point, more than 30 children, that is almost the new generation of the entire village! However, along the way, we did not see any gold mines, and the sides were all black stones, and it seemed that the villagers at that time also seemed to have been deceived.
Thinking about it, I have unconsciously reached the edge of the crack. The black rocks on both sides disappeared, and there was a boundless darkness, and the wind became more and more violent, but the old man and Taoist priest who walked in front of me stopped moving.
I thought that the road ahead had encountered another obstacle, so I squeezed forward, and by the light of the Taoist priest's flashlight, I was stunned at first glance.
What we saw was too spectacular to describe in words, and we stood on a cliff that plunged further into a huge basin shrouded in darkness below.
What struck me was not the basin that existed underground, but the dense buildings in the basin, which looked like a huge city.
The cliff was not high, and the flashlight was not well lit, so it could only illuminate a small part of the basin, but even so, we were so shocked that we couldn't speak.
I began to suspect that I was dreaming, otherwise how could a city appear in this more than thirty meters underground? Hurriedly pinched his face, it hurt terribly, and he couldn't help but be even more shocked when he was sure that this was not a dream.
It is from the basin that the yin wind blows, and it is not clear from above the specific situation below. We looked around and found a gentle slope with many potholes of various sizes that went down to the bottom of the basin, and we climbed up and soon descended to the bottom of the basin.
The edge of the basin is full of craggy strange stones, at first I didn't find out that these strange stones were actually carved, or the Taoist priest's sharp eyes, found a three or four meters high giant human body bull face stone statue, we began to notice that all the strange stones standing around the basin turned out to be carved strange shapes. Because the carving technique is too rough, it is difficult to see the traces of carving, and only by perceiving it as a whole can I find the clues, which is why I thought these stones were 'weird' at first glance.
After taking a closer look at many stone statues, I found that except for some stone statues with particularly distinctive features that I can associate with some specific images, the others are all strange shapes that I cannot understand.
On the other side, the old man and the Taoist priest saw that their faces changed several times, as if they knew most of the stone statues here. I asked, "Do you know these statues?" ”
The old man did not speak, but the Taoist priest, after looking at me, pointed to several stone statues in succession and said to me:
"This, nine tails and four ears, its shape is like a sheep, the eyes are on the back, this is a fierce (fight, yi), cannibalism, and a big murderer."
"This, shaped like a wolf dog, with two tails and six legs, specializes in eating raw souls, and its name is cong (cong, cong) evil chief."
"This, shaped like a charming fox, nine tails and nine heads, bewitching people's minds, taking people three souls, its name is nephew (long, zhi)!"
……
As he spoke, he pointed to the statue of the bull-headed horse with a human body, and said with some excitement: "And those, the human bull head and the human-like horse face, are all recorded in the Taoist scriptures to hook the soul and be the messenger of hell, these things are all creatures of the underworld, representing the existence of death." ”
The old man took his words and added with a solemn expression: "There is also the six-eyed enma that my clan regards as an evil god, the sixteen-armed ghost ape...... The stone statues here are all evil beings that are regarded as heretics by today's witchcraft, and maybe, this place is connected to hell, and those yin winds and evil spirits are all breathed from hell. ”
I don't know if the old man's words scared me, but if it was hell, it was a bit apt. In the ruins deep underground, countless huge stones with the images of evil gods and demons that only exist in hell stand here, what do the people who carved these stone statues want to express?
After searching for a while, there was no clue but to find more stone statues, and since we entered the stone statues, it was as if we had lost our sense of direction, and all we saw were stone statues that had not been repeated.
After a long turn, I was sweating profusely, and I stopped the two of them, saying that we must be lost, right? I didn't see such a large group of stone statues on the cliff just now!
The Taoist priest shook his head and said that it is impossible, the stone statue group is not very big, if we get lost, we must have already encountered the stone statues we have seen before, but along the way, we have encountered stone statues that we have never encountered.
I nodded, but after thinking about it, I didn't think it was right, there weren't so many stone statues I saw on the cliff just now?
I told me my doubts, and the Taoist priest felt that something was wrong, and I wanted to ask the old man for advice, but I saw that he was squinting his eyes and staring at a stone statue to our right.
"Ah Gong, have you found anything?" I wondered in my heart, so I asked him.
He didn't reply to me, he kept staring at the stone statue for a long time, and his face suddenly changed. I saw him look like this, and knew that something might be happening, and I immediately became nervous, so I heard him say, "Didn't you notice? These stone statues seem to be alive! ”
