Chapter 59: The Dog Prison
After a few breaths, the tower reappeared on the ground, and there was not even a trace of it on the ground, as if nothing had happened. The two of us are still standing high on the eighth floor of the tower.
"Meow!" I heard the cat's meow, it came out of nowhere, it had been on it all along.
I glanced at Tang Yin and then glanced down, I found that a large piece of the place where the two of us had taken off the bricks before had collapsed into it, I squatted down to take a look, it was still dark inside, I tried to put my hand inside again, this time it was not blocked, but directly reached in.
"Tang Yin, that inexplicable barrier is gone." I said to Tang Yin, these bricks will collapse into it, it should be without the support of that mysterious substance, and they can't withstand the shaking just now.
Tang Yin squatted down and looked at it, "Go in." She made the decision right away, kicked all the bricks down the window and got in, and I hurriedly followed her inside.
Inside, like the first floor below, it was empty, there was nothing.
We both jumped down and I noticed that there were stairs up and down next to it.
I glanced at Tang Yin and then pointed to it, she nodded, the dust on the stairs is very thick, it should be a long time since anyone walked it.
I tried my feet on the stairs and found them to be sturdy, and then I stepped on them. I reached the corner of the second staircase, and gestured to Tang Yin for her to follow.
I went up to the top floor, the space on the top floor was much smaller than the space on the bottom floor, and at first glance I saw a stone platform in the middle of the room, on which was a strange stone statue was offered, with a dog's head and a human body, very low, a pair of dog eyes staring at the front with a ghostly light, and the whole face looked very vicious and hideous.
I unconsciously shook the knife in my hand, I had never seen a place to worship such a strange thing.
There's nothing left on the top floor but this one. The whole room is just a stone platform.
"Do you know what this is?" I asked Tang Yin.
Tang Yin shook his head slightly, "I don't know." She walked over and stopped in front of the stone platform, and suddenly she kicked the stone platform down, and the dog-headed statue fell to the ground, but it did not break.
"What's wrong?" I hurriedly asked Tang Yin, I didn't understand why she suddenly kicked the stone platform over, if there was no reason, it didn't seem like something Tang Yin could do.
"I smell blood, and it's inside the statue." She said lightly, then squatted down and slashed at the statue, which was directly cut into two pieces, and a stream of black and red blood flowed out from the location of the statue's broken mouth.
"Blood? Is this thing alive? I asked her with wide eyes.
"No, it's blood in it, and someone poured blood into it."
"Someone poured blood into this statue?" I felt a chill in my back.
"This is dog blood, and it is very fresh dog blood, and this dog blood has been in it for no more than seven days." Tang Yin sniffed it and continued.
"What is this doing? What kind of evil ritual? "Normally, even if it is an offering, blood is not used as a tribute, unless it is some evil god or something.
"I don't know, so I kicked over this stone platform to see if there is any famous hall under the stone platform, but unfortunately I didn't find anything."
Saying that, Tang Yin seemed to suddenly think of something, "Go, go down." ”
She was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to ask more, so I hurriedly followed, and we went down the stairs until we reached the third floor, and suddenly the stairs were gone, and they came to an abrupt end.
"No more stairs?" I looked at Tang Yin and said, wanting to see what she wanted to do next.
"Dig! Dig up the stone bricks on the ground here, and explain it to you later, and you'll know when the time comes. Tang Yin said to me not to let me continue to ask, she was already using a short knife to pry the stone bricks on the ground.
I followed her to dig, after taking two layers of bricks, there was a thick smell of blood at the bottom, I turned on the flashlight and took a closer look, and immediately almost vomited, the bottom was full of thick blood scabs, just like the blood scabs that we usually broke on our bodies, but these blood scabs are thicker and brighter in color, and there are faint gray hairs on them, and there should still be no coagulated blood under the blood scabs, and it looks soft, and I don't know what there is underneath.
"What is this?" I couldn't help but ask Tang Yin.
"It should be a blood prison!" Tang Yin stopped talking after a few words popped out of her mouth, and she should still be unsure of her tone. Then she gently slashed over the blood scab with a short knife, and the blood scab shook as soon as she poked the short knife into it.
As her knife cut a thin hole, the smell of blood became stronger, and the disgusting feeling became more and more uncomfortable, and all the windows of the tower on this floor were also sealed with stones, and they were not breathable at all.
Tang Yin picked it from the bottom to the top with a knife, and when her knife came out, the tip of the knife picked out a tender green leaf from the blood under the blood scab.
"Leaves?"
"Is it just a leaf?" Tang Yin asked me rhetorically.
"What else could it be if it wasn't a leaf? It's just that this leaf can still stay so green underneath. ”
Tang Yin sneered, "This is not an ordinary leaf, haven't you seen a treasure tree?" This is the leaf of the treasure tree? As for why this leaf is so green, that's why there is a dog head on it, and the dog blood in the dog head statue is for these leaves. ”
"The leaves of the treasure tree? I really haven't seen a treasure tree yet, my treasure seeds were planted directly by my master, and I didn't pick them directly, what are these? "I really don't see how these things relate.
Tang Yin threw the leaf aside, "This is an ancient secret method, it is called a blood prison, as for the function, this thing can block the penetration of treasure qi, in ancient times, when some people buried treasures, they would build a blood prison and put the treasure inside, so that even if the treasure created a treasure realm, the treasure aura of the treasure realm would not be emitted, so that no one could find this treasure." ”
"And this secret method? How come I haven't heard of it? So you're saying that this ancient tower is a blood prison? So there's a treasure hidden in it? ”
Tang Yin snorted coldly, "What have you heard?" This secret method disappeared a long time ago, and I also heard my master mention it by chance, because this secret method must require a continuous supply of blood to the blood prison, which is against the way of heaven. Then she continued, "This ancient tower is indeed a blood prison, but there should be no treasures in it, and if there we're all in, we still can't feel the treasure aura." ”
Tang Yin was talking I suddenly heard movement on the upper floor, and the next second the cat ran down, and then ran to Tang Yin and scratched Tang Yin with his paws, but he didn't bark.
"Is there a situation?" The two of us looked at each other, and the next second we heard movement outside the ancient tower, as if someone was coming.
