Volume 3 Double-Faced Demon Baby_Chapter 208 The Rat Worships the Sheep
It's not hard to see that the space I'm in is a naturally occurring mountain hole.
Since it was connected to the outside world, I was no longer afraid of the lack of oxygen, so I extinguished the Five Emperors Buddha lamp in my hand.
Because I don't know what this lamp burns on, it seems that there is no place for the lamp to be oiled. And since I got this lamp, neither my third uncle nor I have refilled it with oil.
I'm afraid that the lamp will be burned out early, and it will be bad if I don't need it at the critical time.
But as I extinguished the light, it should have been dark again. But I saw a beam of light coming down from overhead, and it shone obliquely on the mountain wall next to me.
The effect was like chasing light on stage, and I knew it was the moonlight shining through the gap between two rocks.
And the light was still moving, and the halo was wandering across the mountain wall.
Before I knew it, I was moving forward with the halo.
As the halo moved forward, about ten meters away, the halo suddenly stopped again.
And where the halo stopped, a half-human-high hole appeared. I looked curiously overhead, and the moonlight in the sky could still see only a narrow one through the gap.
Everything seems to be a natural occurrence, yet it is so coincidental. Could it be that the moonlight led me to this cave?
What's in the hole? Shall I go in?
I was hesitating when suddenly the sound of Si Si Suo came from behind me.
I was thrilled, and the sound was still very sensitive to me. Because under this cave, I have not encountered any living creatures.
I hurriedly ducked behind a nearby rock and stared at the place where the sound was coming from.
The sound of Suo Suo lasted for a minute or two, and finally something appeared, and a dark shadow appeared in sight. But what is certain is that those dark shadows are definitely not people, they should be some kind of animals.
Since the moonlight did not shine directly on the black shadows, I only saw that the black shadows kept moving forward, and the target turned out to be the mouth of the cave where the moonlight hit.
By the time the things climbed into the cave one after another, I could see clearly.
Those things are made up of two animals, one is a mouse. These rats look huge, much larger than ordinary rats, and they are half a meter long, with straight capillaries and thieves' eyes, which I think must be a kind of mountain rat. There is also an animal with a narrow form, covered with scales, stubby limbs, a flattened and long tail, and a slightly raised back. The head is conical. I've never seen this animal before, but it looks familiar, I should have seen it in books, it seems to be called a pangolin.
The pangolins and mountain rats were completely mixed together, forming a procession that was burrowing into the cave.
It's similar to the situation of us humans crowding the subway, except that their actions are orderly, although there are many of them, they are orderly and not panicked at all.
The queue walked for more than ten minutes, and counting the rats and pangolins that entered the cave, there were not a thousand, but hundreds.
this
It's all too rare for animals to come in herds and travel towards a goal, and it's not a single animal.
I know that animals migrate in groups, either to survive or to take refuge. Could it be that they had a premonition of something?
By the time the last of the rats and pangolins entered the cave, the crawling sound was gone, and the world was clear again.
I waited a while, but there were no more mountain rats or pangolins, so I emerged from behind the rocks and approached the cave gently.
I shrank my head and wanted to go into the cave to see what was going on.
I crouched down and glanced inside, which seemed to be connected to the outside world, and the moonlight could shine inside. The pale moonlight made it cold inside.
The herds of pangolins and mountain rats gathered together and were standing in a strange posture, their heads pointing in one direction.
They land on their hind legs, but their upper bodies stand up, their front paws on their chests.
Looking at the posture, it's like you're worshipping something.
I was amazed and wanted to see what they were worshipping. It's just that the direction of their worship is not illuminated by the moonlight, so I can't see it clearly.
Seeing that the rats and pangolins didn't notice my presence, I dared to take a step inside, trying to get into the hole to see what was going on.
Who knew that I had just gotten halfway into it, and I noticed a few rats behind me, and suddenly turned around, staring at me with green eyes.
I shuddered and hurriedly retreated.
The rats turned around again and continued to worship inside.
I wiped a cold sweat, it seems that this trick is too dangerous to work at all. The situation inside is unknown, and if you mess with these huge mountain rats, I will be eaten by these mountain rats and there will be no bones left.
At this moment, the moonlight that had been shining at the mouth of the cave slowly disappeared.
Half a minute later, the moonlight in the cave brightened a few minutes at a speed visible to the naked eye. I quickly rubbed my eyes, crouched outside the hole, and looked inside.
As the moonlight became brighter, the darkness that had been hidden became clearer.
There was a stone platform, which was noticeably higher than the surrounding ground, and on which lay an animal.
It turned out that these mountain rats and pangolins were worshipping a different animal. What the hell could that be? Tiger? Lion?
They are the kings of beasts, but this is not a primeval forest, and it is not far from the village, so it seems that those beasts should not be here.
At this point, my curiosity was so high that it was completely above my consciousness. I forgot about the danger, I forgot that I was still in danger, and I had only one thought, which was to see what was going on.
"Baa ......"
Suddenly, from the stone platform, there was a sheep crying.
The sound of the sheep was not deafening, it seemed to be unremarkable, but the mountain rats and pangolins below, as if they had been enchanted, landed on their front paws and bowed down to the stone platform.
I covered my mouth with my hands, and I couldn't believe my eyes and ears.
There was a sheep on the stone platform, and it seemed to be the one raised by Jin Po's family
Only.
Although the sheep was lying down, I couldn't tell if it was pregnant, but the cry should not be bad.
A herd of pangolins and mountain rats would worship a sheep.
And he seems to be very afraid of that scream.
This only shows that it is not the sheep that they are in awe, but what is in the belly of the sheep.
Immediately after the sheep's cry, a baby's cry was heard.
At this moment, those pangolins and mountain rats were lying on the ground, not daring to move, and their bodies were trembling......
