130 people under the skin
"Let's go, then." Tang Maiqiu didn't talk much nonsense, he packed his backpack and was about to set off. Tang Maiqiu never dragged his feet in his work, "Everyone must be careful." He admonished, and then he turned on the bright lights and took the lead in front of him.
Gu Fengchun felt that this cave had a bit of a sense of déjà vu. Perhaps it was an illusion, but he felt that this cave was very similar to the big karst cave he had in western Sichuan. It's just that there are bizarre stalagmites and stalactites in a variety of shapes. The more he walked inside, the more strange Gu Fengchun felt in his heart, and he always felt that something was staring at him. In order to take care of him and Luo Xiaodan, Chen Si ordered Liu Ergen and others to put the two of them in the middle, even if there was danger, there were these people to block them for them. Gu Fengchun was very grateful to Chen Si. To be honest, he didn't have a deep relationship with Chen Si, but Chen Si had saved him many times, and he was even more defenseless against him, telling him many secrets. Although Chen Si himself also has a purpose for him, the two are very consistent in their pursuit. Although Chen Si still hides many secrets from him, Gu Fengchun believes in this person from the bottom of his heart, and he doesn't know why, he has always had a feeling of trust in his heart.
Gu Fengchun carefully looked at the cave. After a long journey. He found that the stone walls of the cave were covered with black-brown patterns, which he could not tell what they were dating, and the patterns were covered with a thick layer of smoke, which made it even more difficult to see what those pictures were. Looking up at the top of the cave, the distance between the top of the cave and the ground gradually became low. A strong wind blew in his face, whirring, and the cold wind blew his face with a faint pain. Gu Fengchun concluded that there must be a vent in front, but he didn't know how far this vent would go.
The rock composition of this mountain is obviously sedimentary rock, and the layers of precipitated rocks are distinct, and Gu Fengchun can also see a lot of shellfish fossils coming to life on the cave walls. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was originally a vast ocean, and after a strong crustal movement, it became the roof of the world.
Luo Xiaodan also looked at the stone wall with a curious expression, and she asked Gu Fengchun with great interest: "Fengchun, what did you say about the dirty graffiti on the stone wall?" She knew that Gu Fengchun was very knowledgeable and would definitely be able to tell the reason. Although her family has been engaged in antiques for several generations, her eyesight is much inferior to that of antiquity.
Gu Fengchun shook his head and said: "I don't know, looking at this color, it is likely that it was smeared with blood and water mixed with other things, as for those black smokes, most of them were deliberately done to destroy this brown pattern." It may have a lot to do with the tantric Buddhism in Tibet, not that it was once a place of practice for ascetics, maybe it was something they left behind. ”
"This is the Soul Suppression Banner." A big man walking behind them said. He is a member of the team brought by Shan Zifeng, and he is a Mongolian. His name is Langsan, and he looks like he is about forty years old. Langsan has only one eye, and with an eyepatch, he is like a pirate, and he is gloomy and silent in the team all day. Gu Fengchun's knowledge of him is limited to his name and his flawed facial features.
"Huh?" Gu Fengchun and Luo Xiaodan couldn't help but glance back at him, Gu Fengchun's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Soul Suppression Banner?" Can you tell me about it?"
Dahan nodded, squeezed to Gu Fengchun's side and said, "This is a ritual of shamanism. It is used to suppress the evil spirits of people who have committed great sins, I knew an old shaman when I was young, and he told me such things, but this ritual has been passed down in the Ordos Plateau and the Great Khing'an Mountains area, and no one has known how to use it for hundreds of years. After the total decline of shamanism, these things have long been lost, and the old shaman who said these words to me did not understand this ritual, but he said that anyone who commits such a crime must be punished by skinning people, and if there is human skin in the future, then it must be a soul suppression flag. "
Gu Fengchun gasped when he heard this. Shamanism, anyone who has studied the history of religion a little, knows that shamanism is the most primitive religious belief. It is likely that it began to appear in primitive societies and has been constantly evolving, and in our country, many ethnic groups have relatively shamanic rituals, and so on.
As soon as Luo Xiaodan heard about skinning, her scalp trembled, she frowned and said disgustingly: "So cruel, why are you skinning?" ”
Gu Fengchun shook his head and said, "The rituals of many religions in the world are very cruel. If nothing else, take Tibetan Buddhism as an example, before liberation, human sacrifices were used in some ceremonies, and many ritual weapons were still made of human bones, and the extraction methods were even more cruel. ”
"It's disgusting, don't say it." Luo Xiaodan felt that his internal organs were tumbling, and the beef he had just eaten was churning in his stomach.
Gu Fengchun laughed "hehe", and then said: "Don't worry, since the peaceful liberation of Tibet, these bad habits have basically disappeared, except for those lawless people in exile, no one will want to restore this barbaric and bloody system, socialism is good." Gu Fengchun's smile made Luo Xiaodan look very uncomfortable, especially the last sentence, no matter how Luo Xiaodan looked at Gu Fengchun, he looked like a politician at both ends of the first mouse.
After turning a few corners, Tang Maiqiu suddenly said "Huh" and said, "What's ahead?" A gray-black wall appeared in the pillar of his bright light, which had a range of 1,500 meters. There were still some things scattered around the wall, but it was too far away to see clearly, and it seemed that it was still seven or eight hundred meters deep. Chen Si's eyes were sharp, and he said, "That seems to be a door." After Chen Si finished speaking, the pace under his feet couldn't help but speed up a lot.
Shan Zifeng was not to be left behind, and also followed him closely, so all of a sudden, Tang Maiqiu, Chen Si, and Shan Zifeng formed a row and walked in the front. The three of them were wearing long black windbreakers, and the cold wind blew, blowing the corners of the windbreakers and floating, looking like three underworld bosses traveling from behind, which was quite imposing.
Gu Fengchun and the others saw Chen Si and they quickened their pace, and they also chased after them in stride. When I walked to the end, I realized that there was really a door here.
When the group saw this gate, the expressions on their faces suddenly became strange, and they were all alert. Because, above this gate is a bloody ...... Human skin. The human skin is neatly peeled, and almost every inch of skin on the body has been stripped out, a very complete piece of human skin. The blood beads on the human skin condensed into blood-red ice beads, and there was a pool of blood on the ground, which was obviously freshly peeled off.
