Volume 1 The Corpse Maze Chapter 14 Blood Sacrifice
After the stuffy gourd finished speaking, I felt nauseous, and I hurriedly wiped my hands and asked: "As far as I know, this Tianxin Rock is actually a fragment of a meteorite, where did they find so many meteorites." ”
"I don't know about this, but I've heard that Tianxin Rock can suppress evil qi and is a good tool to ward off evil spirits, and this kind of stone is very strange, it can interfere with the surrounding magnetic field, so the compass will not be usable."
I thought to myself, there are five of these things around, and it would be strange that the compass can be used. For the ancient sacrifices, I have also seen some relevant records, before the Qin and Han dynasties, there was still a large area of blood sacrifices in China, at that time, the captured foreign captives were killed and sacrificed, and the blood of animals was rarely used, because they felt that people had aura, and only human blood could communicate with the gods, and the gods would bless themselves. Later, the Central Plains gradually abandoned this form of sacrifice, but some ethnic minorities still used living people to worship river gods until modern times.
The fat man couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this: "Oh, oops, fortunately it is a civilized society now, otherwise, we would have to be tied to a pillar and bled out." ”
"you, your blood is too dirty, people can't look down on it."
"Hey, you little comrade is not kind, you are fat and fat, no matter how I say it, you are fat and fat, and your small physique is not enough for people to stuff their teeth."
The gourd ignored us and looked carefully at the words on the tree, although this stone pillar is thousands of years old, but the stone carvings are easy to preserve. "This seems to be a sacrifice to an evil god, it seems to be, a sacrifice to a corpse."
The fat man and I were stunned for a moment, sacrificial corpses? How can it be. Although I have also heard that some ethnic minorities will sacrifice evil gods, and some will also sacrifice their own totem worship, such as snakes, birds of prey, etc., but this sacrifice is unlikely. It is recorded in ancient books that the corpse is the ancestor of all zombies, and the corpse has become a corpse after being killed in the battle of the deer, and it can fly away from the sky and live by eating people, although there will be zongzi in the ancient tomb, black and white hair is already rare, and there is a more rare blood corpse, as for this corpse, it is really just a legendary thing, no one has ever seen it.
But after thinking about it, there is also this possibility, many places have sacrificed some strange things, and some villages in Xiangxi even worship Chiyou. Since it can be sacrificed to a monster like Chiyou, it is not surprising that a zombie can be sacrificed here.
"I said little brother, let's not care about it's a sacrifice or something, let's go quickly, it's the right thing to get out early." The fat man himself was not interested in these words, and he was impatient to wait when he saw that the stone was too big to move. "yes, let's go, you can't move this thing, it's useless to look at it."
Qin Feng heard that we were all urging, so he got up and bowed respectfully to the Tianxin Rock Pillar, and then began to become indifferent again, and began to lead the way without saying a word. The fat man and I both looked at each other, "Damn, this little brother won't be a golden captain, why don't you light a candle?" I gave him a blank look, and the fat man urged him not to mumble and hurry up.
Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, after a five-hour trek, we finally walked out of the forest, and this feeling of suddenly seeing the sun after a long period of darkness is really a feeling of being in a different world. The boredom that has been suppressed for a long time has also been reduced a lot, and the place where Heizhugou comes out is the Shimen Pass of the Hengduan Mountains, and the ancient silk silk paper briefly records the location of the ancient tomb, because it should be on the north slope of Shimen Pass.
Junzi saw that we were already sleepy along the way, so he said: "Let's go further, and when we get to the stone gate, we will set up a tent and rest for the night, anyway, this is also a primeval forest, and no one cares about it at all." "I think about it, it's still at the exit of Heizhugou, it's still a dense shrub, because it should still be within the range of those poisonous snakes, and the grass and trees are very sparse when the stone gate is closed in front of it, and it's much drier, and the taste of soaking in the mud is really not very pleasant.
We who had been lying down got up again and began to climb to the top of the mountain at Shimen Pass. Now it is completely a kind of will to support me, I keep telling myself that I can sleep peacefully and start eating after walking a few more steps, and under the support of this thought, I climbed for more than two hours and finally reached the top of the mountain, if it were not for the gentle slope and sparse vegetation on the way, it would be really difficult to come up so quickly.
Standing on the top of the mountain to see the surroundings suddenly opened up a lot, although the height of Shimen Pass is only more than 1,200 meters, but it is also the highest mountain around, there is no shelter around, we are all exposed to the sun, I feel a kind of comfort that is difficult to say.
We found a bunch of dead branches in the four corners, piled up a half-person-high pyre, poured fire oil and lit it, the fat man took off a pair of underwear directly, lying on the tarp on all fours, at first I was embarrassed, but the clothes on my body were wet and sticky, and finally I simply took them all off, and hung them on the shelf next to them and baked them. My feet were swollen and white like injected water, and the skin had been worn out by the boots, and now it was itching again when it was sun, and Junko saw that I couldn't stop scratching it with my hands, so she chewed the tobacco in her mouth and put it on my feet. At first, it was a hot pain, but after ten minutes, I felt a lot more comfortable. This method of chewing shredded tobacco is used by many people who walk in the rainforest, and it can reduce inflammation and relieve itching in a short time.
This time, the meal was much better, Junko put down two bags of dried noodles for us to eat, and half a pack of bacon jerky, and finally took out a small jar of chili sauce from the bag and poured it for us. Sichuan people love spicy, which is a habit that has been engraved into their bones. Junko said: "It's still early, there won't be any wild beasts, so you don't have to take turns staring, sleep for a while, and we'll keep vigil at night." ”
I fell asleep in my sleeping bag for less than a minute, the October sun was not very hot, but it was easy to make people sleepy, I slept until eight o'clock in the evening when I was woken up by the fat man for dinner, and made a fire fence with dry wood to enclose us inside. There is no grass or trees here, it is all land, and we don't have to worry about igniting something and burning ourselves.
In the evening, Shunzi arranged a vigil and we went to sleep separately, and we didn't say anything all night, this time I slept until eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the fatigue of the day finally dissipated, and my body suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
Putting on our clothes to dry, we packed up for breakfast and got ready to go. Last night, Qin Feng had already used the star map to determine the approximate location of the ancient tomb. This place is open and unobstructed, as long as anyone who is familiar with feng shui can quickly find out the location of the dragon's head, generally speaking, the location of the ancient tomb is under the dragon's head, and it is not far from us.
It is estimated that we can get there in two hours, most of the tomb robberies are carried out at night, which can avoid people's eyes and ears, this is a primeval forest, even if we use explosives, even if people nearby hear the sound, it will take a day to rush over, we are much more relieved.
