Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Burial Tower
We cleaned up and headed towards the tower.
As soon as we entered the tower, we saw a huge five-element Bagua Taiji diagram on the ground, and there were many murals painted on the walls of the tower. There are seven murals, each of which depicts a form of torture, for a total of seven species.
We took a closer look and were shocked by the gore on the mural.
The first painting is skinning, of a young man lying on a table with wide pale eyes, and then the man is skinned by several men with large knives and daggers. Several people started from the soles of their feet, their hands, and at the same time, the man opened his mouth wide and wanted to scream in pain, but his mouth was empty. He had his tongue cut out!
On the last side was a bloody human skin on the ground, belonging to a man with his tongue cut, and a bloody humanoid figure on the stage.
The second painting is a waist chopping picture.
The young man who is exactly the same as the length of the first painting is also tied to a platform, the difference is that this time there are many onlookers, it seems that at the entrance of the vegetable market, a strong man with five big and three thick is around, and he is looking at him with a big knife and sneering, the next scene, the big knife is slashed towards the man's waist, the man struggles desperately, his eyes widen in horror, and then there is the last small picture, the man is stopped and cut into two corpses, lying on the platform without looking at him, blood and internal organs flow all over the ground, and a bunch of people next to him are pointing and pointing onlookers.
The third painting is a picture of a human being......
The same young man was tied to the stage, his limbs cut off and turned into a stick.
Later, a huge wine jar appears, and the man is thrown into it, screaming miserably, and a man in a golden suit next to him looks coldly.
The fourth painting depicts a man being dragged to the gate of a city gate and his head cut off with a knife.
The fifth painting is a burning picture, in which the man is tied to a pile of hay, and several men with torches set it on fire, and then the man struggles miserably in the fire until it is reduced to a pile of ashes.
The sixth painting is a picture of the corpses of five horses.
The man lay on the ground, his hands, feet, and neck were tied with a rope, and at the other end of the rope were five fierce horses, and then the five horses ran desperately in different directions, and the man's limbs and head were torn off alive at once.
The seventh painting is Ling Chi, the man is tied to a pillar, surrounded by several black vicious dogs, and next to him stand two people with knives. The two swung their daggers and slashed at the man, and then threw the severed meat into the mouth of the vicious dog, who swallowed it excitedly, and then looked at the man greedily. The flesh of the man's body was cut off little by little, until in the end only a skeleton remained, and two eyeballs that had been deliberately left open in their sockets.
That's what the seven big murals are about.
The scenes in the painting are vividly depicted by people, as if they appear all around us.
Ling Zheng reached out and touched the mural, then put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said lightly: "The red pigment for painting is human blood, the white one is human brain marrow, and the other colors should be ordinary pigments." ”
I looked at the mural and was terrified.
No wonder the painting is overwhelmingly red, so strong that it seems to be able to engulf people, and I even smell a faint smell of blood, which turned out to be painted with human blood.
Whose blood is that?
Why was this set of seven killings drawn in the Liang Concubine Tower, and who is the young man in the painting? I don't know why, but I always felt that the young man was familiar, I seemed to have seen it somewhere, but I couldn't remember it.
"What are you doing struggling? Let's go up and have a look! ”
King Ling's tomb roared dissatisfied, turned his head, and walked towards the stairs.
What a blast!
Shen Yan hurriedly chased after her, shouting in her mouth: "Brother Tomb, wait for me ......"
Lingzheng and I looked at each other, Lingzheng nodded, and we walked together to the staircase leading to the top of the tower, and slowly walked up. Just walked a few steps, I suddenly felt a cold foot and neck, as if a pair of hands grabbed my foot and neck, the next moment, the hands began to pull me down, I was caught off guard by the pull was about to fall backwards, Lingzheng quickly pulled me.
I stood still against the spirit, and the hands quickly disappeared.
I was just about to speak when I felt a cool breeze coming from the back of my neck, and someone was blowing cool air on the back of my neck.
Who is it?
I frowned and turned my head to look, but there was nothing behind me.
"What's wrong, junior high school?"
Lingzheng asked as he grabbed me.
"Here...... Something is not wrong. I said, then closed my eyes, calmed down, and began to feel my surroundings. Sure enough, I felt a large number of Yin Soul Breath, there were at least two Yin Spirits around a few of us, and in other parts of the tower, the Yin Soul Breath was strong, filling every part of the tower.
"There's a lot of ghosts here."
I opened my eyes, frowned, and looked around, "Many, many, many......"
Shen Yan looked back: "How can there be a Yin Soul?" ”
I looked around, my legs weakened with fright, and I barely relied on Lingzheng to stand firmly, and the yin qi around me continued to erode my body.
Shen Yan asked King Ling's tomb: "Brother Tomb, I didn't see the Yin Ghost." ”
King Ling's tomb said: "Uncle didn't see it, what's the matter?" How could so many ghosts come out of one tower? On the first day of junior high school, are you mistaken? ”
I replied affirmatively, "Yes, I do." ”
Ling Zheng suddenly said, "This is a burial tower. ”
"Burial Tower?"
"Burial Tower?"
"Burial Tower?"
The three of us asked questions at the same time.
Burial tower, this is the first time I've heard of this word.
Lingzheng explained lightly: "The burial tower is a special method of sacrifice, similar to the sacrifice to the river god, when the tower is built, a large number of humans will be killed in the tower, and the humans who are killed here will be imprisoned in the tower forever and cannot be reincarnated, become a sacrificial ghost, and be imprisoned here forever." ”
"What? How could there be such an approach? "I looked at these ghosts in disbelief.
It was because of that so-called sacrifice that so many living people were killed, and it made it impossible for them to be reincarnated. It's so ruthless!
"There are many more vicious methods than this, the ancient imperial tombs are martyred, and this nature is similar, except that one is a tower and the other is a mausoleum. - There are also kappa river gods who are sacrificed, and those who are sacrificed will either become lonely ghosts and cannot be reincarnated, or they will be sacrificed directly to the spirit and eaten. ”
I silently closed my eyes, paused for a few seconds, and then opened them again.
There are still a large number of Yin spirits wandering in front of him.
They were all dressed in ancient clothes, some looked like soldiers, some were ordinary old and young, women and children, ordinary men, all of them were pale and dull, and their eyes were floating around blankly.
Wandering in this tower for thousands of years, unable to go out and unable to reincarnate.
No wonder they come out like this.
I looked at these lonely ghosts with pity, "Lingzheng, do you think we can send them to reincarnation?" ”
Lingzheng shook his head, "Unless the tower falls, they will stay here forever, and no one can save them." ”
"......," I silently watched as a teenage child ghost floated past me.
Just then, the phone in my pocket rang suddenly.
Who will call me at such a time?
I hurriedly took out my mobile phone to look, but I didn't expect it to be my grandmother's, what did she call me for?
"Hello? Grandmother? ”
"Where are you now?" Grandma's anxious voice came, and I had a faint feeling that something was wrong.
"What's wrong with running something out there?"
Could it be that something happened at home? Yu Yingying took someone to make trouble again?
"On the first day of junior high school, let me tell you, the life card with your name hanging in the ancestral hall of the family was suddenly shattered just now! Where are you now? Hurry back. Grandma said.
"What? Is my life card broken? "I was stunned.
"No, grandma, I'm running errands in other places, and I can't go back."
"Errands? What to do? Tell me honestly, did you go looking for those bronze coins? Grandma asked suspiciously.
"No, no, I have a new acquaintance's list, and I won't be able to leave for a while." I hurriedly denied it.
Just kidding, if I let my grandmother know, I'd really go looking for copper coins, and I'd be finished.
"That's okay, you know what it means to break the fate card, be careful yourself, grandma can't help you when she's old." Grandma sighed and hung up.
I put my phone away with a complicated expression, feeling a little strange about the fate card.
"Your life card is broken?" Ling Zheng asked.
I subconsciously glanced at him, then nodded, "Hmm." ”
"What's going on?" Lingzheng asked.
"I don't know, my grandmother suddenly called just now and said that my life card was broken."
For us who walk in the yin, the life card is a kind of existence similar to the immortal lamp, which represents our life, and the life card is broken, usually there are only two situations, one is to represent that person is dead, and the other is to represent that person is in great danger and his life is on the verge of death. I'm alive and well now, so that means I'm about to be in danger of my life and possibly die?
Lingzheng didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Tang Chuyi, did your grandmother really say that your life card was broken?" Shen Yan suddenly asked me with a strange expression.
"yes, what's wrong?"
I looked at her strangely, could it be that she broke my life card?
No!
She doesn't have that skill yet!
King Ling's tomb asked me: "Why is the fate card broken, and your grandmother can know it immediately?" Still calling you right away? ”
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this.
yes, why does grandma know in an instant?
The life card is in our old ancestral hall, and it is generally only going to go in once a day in the morning and evening, and at other times, there is basically no one there, and it is only afternoon now, why will my grandmother know? Could it be that she happened to go to the ancestral hall?
"Your grandmother called you at this time, how did I feel wrong." King Ling's tomb said.
As soon as I heard this, I was not happy, "King Ling's tomb, what do you mean?" Could it be that you doubt my grandmother? That's my grandmother who grew up, will she deliberately harm me? ”
King Ling hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't mean that, first year, I'm just a little worried about you." ”
"You, a murderous uncle who doesn't blink, are you going to worry about me? Don't be funny, hahahaha......" I laughed a few times, and suddenly found that the surroundings were very quiet, and when I looked at the tomb of King Ling, it was as black as a piece of carbon, and I changed the subject awkwardly, "That, don't you think I'm doing well now, maybe it was just a small accident." Oops, okay, stop going around this question, hurry up, hurry up, the old lady can't wait. ”
"Hmm" King Ling's Tomb hummed softly, turned around and continued to walk up the steps.
Shen Yan followed behind King Ling's tomb.
I was walking side by side with Lingzheng, Lingzheng was holding my hand and suddenly tightened, and glanced at me to be careful, and I smiled sweetly at him, saying that it was okay.
"It's here!"
The tomb of King Ling in front of him suddenly shouted excitedly.
We hurriedly walked over, the light inside the top tower was very dark, we couldn't see the black of our fingers, we couldn't see clearly, we could only hold the flashlight and shine it carefully.
Shen Yan suddenly pointed ahead: "Look at it!" What is that? ”
