Chapter 59: The Strange Altar
The eerie altar is breathtaking
The terrifying snake vine takes human life
Shocked, I wanted to move, but somehow my whole body felt like I had been poured lead at this moment, and I couldn't even move a finger.
The only thing I can move is my eyes, so all I can do at this point is see.
Look at everything that is happening in front of you, watch the strange scenes happen.
And I made up my mind, and I looked over the altar.
I saw that the huge altar was divided into two tiers.
On the lower floor knelt twenty or thirty men, all of whom were about forty or fifty years old, each dressed in gray-white prison uniforms, their clothes tattered, and their faces covered in mud and blood, apparently having been tortured before.
They yelled, in a bitter and angry tone, saying something that looked like barbarian or Mongolian, and I couldn't understand what it meant, but it was roughly "I don't want to die!" I'm wronged or something"!
Behind the gang stood a dozen people, shirtless, with a red paint on their faces, red turbans, and a bright ghost-headed knife in each hand.
"Is this going to be a death penalty for some kind of headhead?" I thought to myself.
I soon learned I had guessed wrong, though. Because, after a while, several men in black robes walked to the altar on the first floor with a dozen large jars.
They first took out a small black wooden box from their bosoms, took out a palm-sized, moth-like object from the box, and stuffed it into the mouths of the kneeling men.
As the green liquid flowed from the corners of their mouths, my stomach began to churn, and if I hadn't tried to control it, I guess I would have vomited the meal I had eaten the night before.
Although I was disgusted to watch, the kneeling people seemed to have been looking forward to this palm-sized moth for a long time, they ate it very deliciously, and some people were even grabbing it, and a palm-sized moth was eaten by those people after three times and five divided by two, as if this king-sized moth was the most delicious food in the world. A few people even wanted to ask for a few more, but in exchange for a beating from the strong men behind him.
But the people who were beaten did not wail, on the contrary, they were laughing, and they were laughing happily and laughing wantonly.
The wind was still blowing, blowing through the ghostly fire, blowing the laughing faces of those men.
The laughter was carried far away by the wind, into the ears of everyone present. I wanted to plug my ears because the laughter was so weird, so terrifying, like the souls of hell laughing.
However, what surprised me even more was that I was the only one who felt terrified, and these people standing next to me did not react in the slightest. They seem to be accustomed to it, they don't seem to be surprised, they just watch motionlessly, watching the people on stage laugh, as if they were watching a movie.
The people on the stage were still laughing, bending down with laughter, falling to the ground with laughter, and all the joints on Xiao's body began to dislocate, but they were still laughing, and they didn't mean to stop at all.
After a while, they suddenly started vomiting, and a large amount of black-brown liquid squirted out of their mouths. And at this time, those black-robed people suddenly waved their hands, and the big man standing behind those people suddenly raised his knife and fell, only to see a flash of white light, and a few of the happiest laughers immediately turned their heads in different places.
The remaining dozen or so people were quickly loaded into the large jars and carried down and buried in the earth.
It all came so fast, only a few minutes, but it felt like a long, long time had passed.
I took a deep breath and thought to myself, "What the hell is this?" Is it a punishment? Or is it a ritual? Why would they give those people that kind of food? And why are those people so addicted to this stuff? ”
And while I was pondering, suddenly there was a roar from the altar on the second floor, long and short, light and heavy, as if singing.
I looked up and saw two coffins on top of the two-story altar. One is a transparent jade jade coffin, and the other is just an ordinary black sarcophagus.
And in this coffin lay two people, from my angle can be clearly seen, the jade coffin is lying a man in a black robe, his skin is snow-white, snow-white to bloodless, like a patient with some unknown blood disease, his whole emaciated and small, his face is full of wrinkles, although his chest is undulating, but it is so faint that it is almost invisible, if I don't see him in this place, I must think that this person is just an ordinary person who can't be ordinary, An old man waiting for death.
In the ordinary black sarcophagus lay a woman, naked, with silver hair scattered across her chest, her breasts towering, her skin white and elastic, her legs straight and slender, although I could not see her face, but this body alone could be regarded as a peerless beauty.
And the reason why I couldn't see her face was because she was covered with a white cloth that covered her whole face, but there was a heavy blood stain on the place of her eyes, and it was clear that her eyes were still gouging out.
"This ...... Could this be ......" Seeing the two coffins in front of me, I couldn't help but gasp, because I had only seen them a thousand years later.
I tried to run, but I still couldn't move.
My heart was so anxious, I didn't know what was going on, I didn't know why I was seeing these images, I didn't know where I was, I wanted to escape, I wanted to escape from everything here, but the only thing I could move now was my eyes.
So, I can only watch, I can only watch what is happening in front of me.
I saw three black-robed men walking to the edge of the altar, they should be the shaman in charge of the sacrifice, they chanted the sacrificial mantra loudly in their mouths, and at the same time danced strange steps on the stage, this feeling looked like a dancing god, and there was no like a dancing god.
They tossed for a while, one down, one jump, one squat, one cry, and one laugh for a long time.
Suddenly, he took three bowls of black liquid from the side and fed it to the woman in the sarcophagus, then took out a large handful of yellow powder from his bosom, raised his hand, and sprinkled the powder on the woman's body.
Strange to say, at the moment when the powder was about to fall on the woman's body, a golden python nearly fifteen meters long suddenly appeared, spitting snake hyacinth and swimming towards the woman.
I don't know if it was the effect of the three bowls of medicine just now, or if the woman had sensed the approach of the big snake, and at this time she began to shake and twitch constantly.
And the more she shook and twitched, the more excited the golden snake became.
And the more excited the big snake was, the more energetic the three shamans on the side jumped.
The huge snake's mouth, sharp fangs, and bursts of bloody stench came from the altar, and in an instant, the golden serpent had swallowed the woman and the sarcophagus on her body. After devouring it, the serpent turned its head and swam towards a large tree on the side, and then coiled its body tightly around it.
What I never expected was that not long after the giant snake coiled the tree, it miraculously merged with the tree.
The shamans were still jumping, and they were dancing harder.
The black-robed man was still lying in the jade coffin, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.
The samurai under the altar were still watching infatuatedly, as if they were just watching a play.
But at this moment, suddenly there was a shout of killing from behind me.
Then, there was the cacophony of grinding as weapons clashed.
Chaotic footsteps, cries of pain grew louder and louder.
"Someone has rebelled! It seems that he can't withstand the brutal rule of Yuk, so he launched a rebellion! I exclaimed.
However, to my surprise, the shamans on the altar didn't seem to hear these voices at all, and they were still dancing and singing.
When they had finished singing, they suddenly fell to their knees in front of the great tree incarnated by a giant serpent, and kept prostrating themselves with their hands raised and prostrating, and they were still chanting words in their mouths.
The shouting of killing got closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye it was already behind me, and the people around me were running, and the light of the knife and the shouting of killing passed in my ears.
I wanted to move, but I couldn't even move half a step.
I was so anxious.
At this moment, the three shamans on the altar suddenly pulled out a short knife from their bosoms, and then slashed their throats with their backhands.
The sword light, the white knife light, pierced their throats in an instant.
Blood, red blood was like fireworks, and it was sprinkled all over the tree in an instant.
And those bright red blood were like countless seeds, and everywhere they went, one after another glittered with golden snakes and vines spontaneously appeared.
The screams of the crowd grew louder and louder, and the snake vines grew more and more.
The crowd came quickly, and the snake vine went faster.
In the blink of an eye, everyone around this altar was entangled, strangled, and sucked up by this golden snake vine.
The human eye often symbolizes life, and at this moment, everyone around this altar has only one color in their eyes, gold.
And this dazzling gold color represents death.
The screams gradually weakened, because both the rebels and the Yuk guards' martial arts had been sucked into dry bones by the snake vine on the other side in the blink of an eye.
My heart sank, because at this moment, I heard two voices and saw a golden light.
The golden light naturally came from this snake vine, and it rolled towards me at a great speed.
It finally spotted me, but I couldn't move, I could only watch it come at me.
The sound came from the surrounding mountains, and it was an earth-shattering loud noise, so loud that my eardrum was already shaken.
And after the landslide, there is a loud noise when the torrent pours into the altar.
Then, I didn't know anything.
