Chapter 177: The Evil Spirit Sacrifice (I)
Sure enough, as Master said, the place where the blood python lives is a place where the air is unobstructed, and there are two passages in front of him, but in front of these two passages, the master hesitated slightly, he stretched out his hand and shook it on the left, and then climbed directly into the passage on the right. This passage is unusually narrow, and there is no lack of fishy smell in it, so I didn't climb two steps, and finally I couldn't bear it anymore and opened my mouth to spit out!
"Master, why did you choose this passage? We can't go wrong, right? This passage is also covered with the slime of the blood python, and if we encounter another blood python's nest in it, won't we be killing ourselves? I retched and muttered worriedly.
"Shut up!" Master seemed to be annoyed by my chatter, and angrily scolded me: "Since we have chosen this passage, we have no way back, we must move forward, and we must not take another half step back. There was no wind in the passage just now, and this passage was obviously ventilated, which only shows that this passage is the only one that can lead to the outside world. Even if we encounter a blood python again, it is our fate, what is there to complain about?! ”
After being reprimanded by the master, I had to suffocate and follow behind, crawling forward quickly, I don't know how long I climbed, I only felt that the wind in front of me was getting louder and louder, and my heart also followed up to my throat, as long as I found the exit, we could get out!
But just around the corner, Master suddenly stopped, and I hurriedly asked, "Master, why don't you leave?" ”
But seeing that the passage in front of me was a little wider, I turned my head and crawled to the master's side, and when I looked closely, I saw a few withered white bones in front of me, which frightened me and hurriedly retreated, but before I could move, I was attracted by the dry skull. What attracted me was nothing else, but a mark on the skull, which was less like a crack and more like some kind of brand!
After I looked at it carefully, I hurriedly asked Master, "Master, what symbol do you see printed on the forehead of this corpse?" ”
The master looked at it carefully for a while before nodding and saying, "This is not a rune, but a sacrificial text. Previously, the teacher also saw similar imprints around the blood pool, like the marks of these bones that were branded with a soldering iron before they died, and the font was very much like the word 'death', and the bones that were branded with this kind of imprint may be to seal them here, even if it is a soul, it will never be able to transcend! ”
I was stunned, I couldn't help but feel a little faster, just now I was still in my throat, but at this moment it was out of my control, and hurriedly said to the master: "These bones should have tried to escape, but they died here, until now, the corpses have been corrupted to this day, and they have not seen the outside world." Speaking of which, it's really pitiful, and it's really pathetic. Then, the passage here is obviously very spacious, since they have climbed here, why don't they take a few more steps? Or a lot of walks to get out?! ”
The master glanced forward and said in a deep voice, "Maybe they don't dare to go any further, or maybe there is some threat in front of them, so they can only be trapped here!" ”
"Hiss ......"
Before the words fell, I suddenly heard the screams of those blood pythons behind me, and hurriedly said to the master: "Master, go quickly, those blood pythons seem to be chasing after us!" ”
The master turned his head to look at it, nodded immediately, pushed away the dry bones, and quickly crawled forward. But soon, there was a bend in front of me, this bend was neither to the left nor to the right, but extended downward, and there was some kind of paddling sound below, and when I heard this, my eyes widened: "Master, there is nothing else underground, and there is no living water down here, so how can the water make a sound?!" ”
"Be careful!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Master was shocked and dragged me back, and while retracting my head, I clearly saw a huge black python rushing up from the water below, opening its mouth and biting down on me, but fortunately, I was caught by Master in time, and the python narrowly missed me and fell into the water again. At this point, I seemed to understand why those dry bones were there, and now it seemed that it wasn't that they didn't want to escape, but that they didn't have a chance to get out at all!
In the front of the sink lived a black python, and behind there was a bloodthirsty blood python, both front and back were dead, they could only wait for death in place. But I heard the screaming sound behind me gradually approaching, I trembled and leaned closer to the master, the master turned his head to look, and then turned his head to look at the sink in front of him, the body of the black python that appeared from time to time, and said in a low voice: "This giant python seems to have been specially raised here, although after so many years, but their descendants can only stay here, if they stand in the way, ordinary people have no way to escape, and this sink is about six feet wide before and after, if you jump over it, the time it takes, It's still slower than the time it takes for the python to come out, and the python can come out at any time to bite people to death, drag them into the water and eat them! ”
"So what do we do now?" I grinned, only to feel that the blood python qi behind me was getting closer and closer, and I was afraid that in a few moments, those blood pythons would chase after me.
Master raised the Demon Sword in his hand and said to me: "This Demon Sword contains the righteous qi of Tiangang, and the Gang Qi in it alone is the best magic weapon to restrain those evil things, with this sword, we may be able to escape!" ”
As he spoke, the master swung his sword and struck the rock wall on the side, like gold and stone intertwined, emitting sonorous echoes...... Suddenly, I saw that the black python swimming in the water actually got into it in an instant, and it seemed to be very repulsive to the fierce sound of the demon sword. Seeing this scene, the master nodded slightly, and said to me: "Ergou, for the teacher to resist the attack of the giant python for you in the back, you jump over first, and then go over for the teacher!" ”
"Master, but you ......" I looked at Master with some concern, every time I encountered a problem, Master always thought about how to protect me first, but he never prioritized his own situation.
The master frowned and said angrily, "What? Do you dare to disobey your teacher's commands? Come on, don't worry, there is a demon sword for the teacher, those giant pythons don't dare to take it as a teacher, once you jump over, find a safe place to stay, don't walk around, wait for the teacher to go over and then make a decision! ”
When I heard Master say this, I was a little relieved, and if Master asked him to wait for him, it would mean that he would be safe and sound. I thought about it for a moment, and I had to nod my head in agreement. Turning my head to look at it again, and then mustering up the courage to stare at the sink in front of me, I secretly warned myself, Li Ergou, Li Ergou, you have experienced so many hardships, this time, you must not be cowardly! Gotta jump over, gotta jump over!
Encouraging myself, I gritted my teeth, kicked the ground under my feet, and jumped towards the other end of the sink, but at this moment, I saw a sound of playing with the water in the sink below, and at the same time, the demon sword in the master's hand suddenly made a trembling sound, and it worked, I only saw the black python's body impatiently burrowing out of the water, but still stubbornly gave up attacking me.
With one foot on the ground, I grabbed the rock wall on the side, and then found a place to settle on the ground, this end, sure enough, is a lot drier, and the slight flow of the wind also made me feel what a refreshing smell is!
It seemed that Master and I were walking in the right direction, and I didn't dare to move around much, so I hurriedly turned around and shouted to Master, "Master, come here!" ”
Master is not as hypocritical as me, immediately flew towards me, who knew that at the same time as he started, in the passage behind him, a huge crimson blood python rushed out, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on Master, I was so frightened that my eyes widened, but at this moment, in the sink below, the black python also jumped up at the same time, and the master waved the Demon Sword, which seemed to be unable to suppress the black python, but made the black python even more crazy......
At the critical moment, the master flew up and kicked the black python's head, and actually jumped over with his strength, but the black python's head flicked, but it happened to be entangled with the blood python, and with a huge pulling force, the blood python was dragged into the sink!
"Plop!!"
A huge splash of water splashed, but then, the black python and the blood python were actually churning up and down in the sink, biting up, seeing this scene, the master hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" ”
I'm still curious, and I don't know if the black python is more powerful, or the blood python is more fierce. One of them is a water python, the other is a blood python, and I don't know who will lose in the end, and become the other party's mouth, but I quickly figured it out when I looked back, although I didn't see the final ending, but I can imagine that in the blood pool, it is the blood python that dominates, but in this sink, it is the territory of the black python, and the blood python falls into the territory of the black python, I am afraid that it will inevitably be used as dinner by the black python......
But even though I had left the altar blood pool, I was still thinking about the imprints on those corpse bones, and I couldn't help but ask Master, "Master, why was the person who was sacrificed branded?" If they were all allowed to die inside, why did they treat them so cruelly? The imprint clearly penetrates the flesh and skin into the bone marrow, and the pain in it must be unbearable! ”
The master sighed lightly and said: "It depends on the altar, the ancients sacrificed in a variety of places, and there is no specific place to worship, all of them are adapted to local conditions, or on the flat ground, or on the high altar, or in the flat pit, the palace temple, and the tomb and other places, and this place should be a tomb, but if this place is chosen to worship, this place will be sealed at the same time, so as not to leak out of the resentment, of course, there is also a saying that evil spirits keep sacrifices!" ”
