219. Dead Body's Cave
At the moment, I can't take care of so much, just when I lowered my head to examine the mountain, and wanted to think about how to use the dragon veins here to maximize my interests and advantages, the two gods and witches behind me became very impatient, they directly raised their hands, poked me with the stick in their hands, and signaled me to continue walking towards the mountain, not to stay.
Although I wanted to tear my face with these two gods and witches now, after thinking about it, I still endured it.
Now is not the most opportune time, because once you have a stalemate with the two of them, then there is no way to go up the mountain.
Rather than wasting this Hidden Blade in your hand here, it is better to endure it like this.
When I walked halfway up the mountain, in front of me, there was a building similar to a temple, this building looked like some years, surrounded by some statues similar to terracotta warriors, but these statues have collapsed more than half due to the erosion of time, each statue in the collapse, still holding its own weapons in its hands, as if it was defending this place in the end.
The building is next to the mountain behind it, and there is nothing of value in it, and it is obvious that it has been abandoned for a long time.
Further on, there is a very dim cave, although the light in the cave is not very good, there is no exit, only this is the only way to continue walking.
After entering the cave, the first thing I smelled was the smell of a corpse rotting for I don't know how long, this smell was particularly strong, filling the entire cave, making people feel uncomfortable, and even had a feeling of almost gagging on the spot, and when the two gods and witches walked here, they no longer went inside, but guarded the entrance of the cave, holding weapons in their hands, threatening me to continue walking.
For the rest of the way, I was the only one who could go inside, so I grabbed a torch from the wall and began to grope my way on.
Looking up from here, I found that the top of my head was full of traces of artificial hewning, and it was obvious that this cave had been dug by hand, and I had now entered the mountain behind me, and it was not far from the secret of the core of the daughter village on the top of the mountain.
Just when I was looking left and right, I suddenly felt a tightness under my feet, and then the whole person lost his balance and fell directly to the ground, and there was a sudden pain in my body, especially my arm, which seemed to be hit by something hard, which was particularly uncomfortable.
In a panic, I quickly grabbed the torch in my hand and got up, and when I looked at the ground, I was even more frightened and took a step backwards.
A corpse with bone-baring bones, long since it had already decomposed, lay in front of me, and it was this corpse that I had tripped over just now!
When people suddenly face the unknown, they will inevitably have a certain amount of fear, but they will soon return to normal, especially me, who deals with corpses and ghosts all day long, and may be startled when a corpse appears coldly, but after all, this is my old job, so I was not scared anywhere.
In the next second, I returned to normalcy again, and began to lower my head, carefully looking at the corpse in front of me that tripped me over work, and studying where the rest came from. And how he died, which is of great significance for my next actions.
Although the corpse looked dry, it was certain that it was a woman's corpse, because the skeleton looked very small, and the corpse must have suffered very painfully before her death, and her leg bones had been twisted.
What's more, the corpse was still wrapped in chains, perhaps strangled to death, or imprisoned here, without sunlight or food for a long time, and it was possible to starve to death.
After seeing this corpse, I felt even more depressed in my heart, maybe this corpse was imprisoned here because it violated the rules of the patriarch.
The further I went, the more strange it became, because there were more corpses, and in some places there was no way to get my feet, and I had to step on them to continue walking.
Obviously, this is a place for prisoners on death row, and as long as the women who enter here, none of them get out alive, and some women are even so miserable that their shoulders are chained, and these chains are directly passed through their shoulders, you can imagine how painful it was at that time!
The more this is the case, the more I feel that this daughter village really has no meaning for its existence!
The corridor was about a few hundred meters long, and when I could get to the end of the corridor, I seemed to have the smell of a corpse on my body, but I couldn't do much at the moment, because I had to keep going, and when I reached the other end, I realized that I had reached the top of the mountain.
It turned out that this place was a little bit of a slow upward trend, probably because the slope was relatively gentle, so I never saw it, but when I came out, it was a very large temple!
This temple looks similar to the temples in front of it, but behind the temple down the hill is a long corridor full of corpses, and here I am a real large stone chamber.
In front of the stone room, there were already people waiting, and it was none other than the hunchbacked old witch, who didn't say too much when he saw me, but raised his finger and pointed behind her with a slight trembling.
Following the direction of her finger, I looked further, and in front of me stood a high platform, which was already lit with torches and incense, and looked like it was going to perform some mysterious ritual, and on the high platform, I already saw the familiar figure, it was the patriarch of the daughter village!
When the patriarch of the daughter village saw me coming, he let out a slight laugh on the high platform, and the laughter sounded chilling, and at this time, there was a croaking sound outside the cave, and then, a black oppressive thing flew from the other end of the woods, and I turned my head to look, only to realize that it was actually a crow flying over!
The crow is a creature that is extremely unlucky in the whole world, and in the West it represents evil and the devil, and in the East, the crow represents death!
Because crows are social animals and eat carrion, they can smell the smell of carrion before death.
The presence of crows first means that the smell of death emanating from this place is very attractive, and secondly, it means that there must be a lot of rotting corpses around me!
