Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 65 The Death of the Blood Sacrifice
With that, the three of us stuck two shovels into the gap between the ends of the coffin lid, and Brother Li assisted us to prevent the coffin lid from tilting and hitting either of us. But the cannon and I tried so hard that we couldn't lift the lid of the coffin. Normally, this thing is made of dark iron, and with the strength of me and the cannon, we can open it. In the end, it was opened with the help of Brother Li.
Just when the coffin was opened, the fragrance before was even stronger, the so-called "eat a trench, grow a wisdom", the previous encounter made me dare not have the slightest contempt for this coffin, I quickly covered my mouth and nose with a strip of cloth. Li Tong, who was not far away, was just about to ask, but when he saw us like this, he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his clothes. I made a wave of my hand, and I walked to the coffin at the same time with the cannon, only to see that the dark coffin was a layer of gold inside, and there was a female corpse lying inside, the whole body was almost rotten, but there was a pile of skeletons left beside it. Perhaps because of the isolation from the outside world, the clothes on the woman's body did not rot at all, and still maintained their original luster.
"I think the identity of this female corpse is definitely not low, and it may be the Queen of the Western Night," Cannon said in a deep voice. "If you want you to say, you can think of a problem with your ass," Li Tong said a little impatiently, obviously she was a little tired of the cannon's usual gags. Cannon is also a person of interest, who knows how to take it when he sees it, and does not speak like an eggplant that has been beaten by frost.
Here, the three of us returned to the topic and carefully examined the female corpse in the coffin. I saw that the clothes of the female corpse were jet black, giving people a sense of mystery. From this point of view alone, it is very different from the practice of those princes and nobles in the Central Plains who wore gold and silver and were covered in jewels. Inadvertently, a red bead immediately caught my attention, and I saw that the red bead was placed not far from the right hand of the female corpse. When I saw it at this time, I couldn't help but feel a kind of joy like receiving a treasure. I thought it should have some special use, so I had to reach for it.
Suddenly, I felt my head dizzy again, as if I was back to the feeling I had just had. At the same time, I also found that the other three people were in the same state. To be honest, this feeling is very unpleasant, and my body and consciousness are inadvertently pulled by something. But it's all in vain, and no matter how much we struggle, we still can't get to that state. Vaguely, I felt that I could establish a subtle connection with Cannon, Li Tong and Brother Li, but this subtle connection was as close as the silk.
His head was still groggy and devoid of energy, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness. Suddenly, a light appeared in front of us, and the four of us looked at each other without saying a word, and just as we wanted to walk over, we felt an invisible wall blocking us out. The light in front of me gradually magnified, and gradually the original darkness was gone, and I saw a huge square in front of me, a circular square. "Isn't this the square we're in right now?" While observing, I thought to myself. I don't know when I started, the square in front of me was full of soldiers in black armor, and I saw those soldiers in black armor carrying scimitars and waiting for battle. From time to time, from the opposite square, surrounded by everyone, a man dressed in black, holding a scepter, and even his lips were black, which made people a little frightened. If it weren't for this outfit, maybe it would be an incomprehensible beauty. The man walked straight down the crowd to the high platform in the center of the square, his eyes revealing a sense of evil, and at the same time, the corners of his black mouth turned up slightly, and he looked around at everyone with an evil smile.
From time to time, I saw the woman wave her hand, and I saw many slaves coming from all directions, and they were all women, with their hands tied behind their backs, and they were all between thirteen and eighteen years old, which was the best age for cardamom. I saw that the women were escorted to the square and knelt down in rows, and there was an executioner standing next to them, but none of them made any sound. The leading officer waved the flag, and saw that the executioners had raised their swords, and the heads of the women had been cut off, and the blood was bubbling down, but the strange thing was that the blood had not stayed at all and seeped into the ground, leaving no trace of blood. Surprisingly, I saw the woman in black wave the scepter in her hand, and the black gas in the square poured into the woman's scepter from all directions, and the red beads on the scepter shone even brighter. In this way, batch after batch of killings was killed, and I don't know how long it took, the corpses of thousands of young girls had been piled up on the square, like a mountain of corpses, and there was no blood stain left on the ground. The scene was shocking and bloody at the same time.
I had read about blood sacrifices in a book before, but I thought it was pure fantasy. But at this moment, I am convinced of the content of the blood sacrifice depicted in the book. I don't know how long it took, a black coffin was placed on top of the mountain of corpses, and the scene of ten thousand corpses carrying the coffin was shocking. Slowly, those scenes gradually became illusory, and then became the current scene, and the red bead had lost its previous luster.
As our consciousness gradually cleared up, we looked at everything in front of us without saying a word. Although the concept of "life does not bring, death does not take away" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but many people, especially those princes and generals, do not want to be rich and noble for thousands of years, so there are so many people who do not hesitate to build large tombs at the cost of construction and money, to realize the ethereal dream of eternal life.
"I didn't believe it when I saw the scene on the mural before, but when I saw that scene just now, it was really incredible," Li Tong said with a little weakness. "The real pity is for the women who sacrificed, and it is better to be born in modern times. The woman in black really should have been cut by a thousand knives, and it was really cheap for her to lie in such a precious coffin. The cannon said with seven points of anger in his tone.
"The blood of those women being sucked from the ground is the same one we saw when we first arrived?" Brother Li, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said suddenly. I didn't think about this question before, but I just felt that there was nothing worth thinking about at the time, so I didn't have too much orientation. But at this moment, Brother Li said it, and it immediately caught our attention.
"Obviously, this is not normal, after so much time, this blood will not deteriorate or evaporate, but now it seems that there is a lot of this blood, and it has not diminished in the slightest. Second, we only see superficial phenomena in the illusion, but do not understand the true purpose of the blood. Li Tong continued to analyze.
