Chapter 18: Ghost Sacrifice

Then we talked about the topography and environment here for a while, Lao Zhao told us a lot about the characteristics of ancient buildings, the monkey listened very attentively on the side, he saw Lao Zhao talk for a long time and asked: "I said Lao Zhao, you seem to have a lot of research on ancient buildings, so do you know what this huge underground building is for?" ”

Lao Zhao was also silent after hearing this, he just kept shaking his head, and then sighed and said: "I haven't figured it out until now, this may be the tomb of a person with a prominent position in ancient times!" ”

The monkey sighed and said, "We've been fucking here for a few days, and we haven't found anything, and we haven't even figured out what this place is!" ”

At this time, the sunspot on the side said: "Don't be discouraged, no matter what it is used for, since it is built so large, there will definitely be good things!" When the monkey heard this, he also said: "Yes, Brother Kuroko is right, we are here to find the treasure, not to archaeology, why do you care so much about it!" ”

Lao Zhao said on the side: "In this case, we have to hurry up and get on the road, we have been in for several days, and most of our time has been spent in the stone chamber one by one into the dark passages, if we don't find anything again, we have to consider going back, the food and water have been consumed a small half!" We all felt justified, so we ate something and went on our way.

According to Kuroko, if we go a little further, we will come to an area full of human heads, and at this moment, we find that the navigation vines have also reached the end and cannot continue to pull forward.

So Lao Zhao threw down the vines and said, "Anyway, the road ahead is very wide, and there is no fork in the road, so there should be no problem without a navigation rope." The monkey also said, "I don't think I need this vine in the first place, and with my memory, I can still go back the way I came after walking for ten days." ”

So we continued to walk, I was still a little worried about the lack of navigation vines, and it would be good if there was a symmetrical storage zài in this place in front of me, so I drew a ravine on the ground with my feet as I walked, like a navigation rope, and left it as a mark.

We walked for about half an hour, and individual human heads began to appear on the ground, followed by a whole piece of human heads appeared in front of our eyes, although I already knew that there would be a piece of human heads here, and I was mentally prepared, but when I was there, my heart was still very shocked, only to see that the faces of each head were extremely hideous and distorted, and the human heads in some places had been piled up.

I heard Kuroko say that as long as we pass through this head area, there is a large space in front of us, so we start to walk forward in the head area. I took every step very carefully, I tried not to step on the head of the man, I only listened to the monkey muttering something in his mouth as he walked, and I listened carefully, it turned out that he was begging the ghosts of these people not to come to him, and he was saying something like "the debtor is wronged".

We walked around the head area for a while, and I noticed that the human heads on the ground did not seem to be thrown here in a haphazard manner, but seemed to be arranged according to some pattern, in some places in piles of three or five, in other places in a strange shape, and all the heads and faces were actually facing one direction.

Lao Zhao seemed to have discovered this, I saw him looking around while walking, suddenly Lao Zhao stopped, I saw Lao Zhao's nervous expression, I vaguely saw a trace of fear from Lao Zhao's expression, I had never seen Lao Zhao so nervous, I was about to ask Lao Zhao what happened, Lao Zhao immediately made a gesture to signal us not to make a sound, I was also nervous by Lao Zhao.

Then Lao Zhao continued to communicate with us with gestures, he told us not to speak, and then continued to walk with him, and asked us to try to settle in the gap between the heads.

I don't know why Lao Zhao suddenly didn't speak but gestured, I wanted to ask clearly, but seeing that Lao Zhao was so nervous, I didn't dare to speak out, so we had to listen to Lao Zhao for the time being.

In this way, the four of us passed through the human head area in silence, and we continued to walk forward for about one or two hundred meters, and the road surface here changed, the layer of flour-like things was gone, and dirt and stones began to appear on the ground, and then Lao Zhao suddenly said: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous!" I saw that Lao Zhao had spoken, so I thought that it should be no problem to speak now, so I asked Lao Zhao softly: "I said Lao Zhao, what happened just now, why didn't you let us talk!" ”

Old Zhao sighed and said, "Do you know what those heads are for? It's for ghost sacrifices! I heard Lao Zhao mention the ghost sacrifice and couldn't help but be surprised, the ghost sacrifice is a way of sacrifice, I have seen in a book about the introduction of various sacrifice methods in ancient China, this kind of sacrifice originated in ancient times of human beings, when human beings just appeared, to live in groups, people only see that they can not communicate with words, can only express their wishes through guò body movements. If one member of the group dies, the other members cut off the deceased's head and tie the head to a tree with their hair, believing that the ghost of the deceased will always guard the group.

Later, this method of cutting off the head was used to deter some demons and evil spirits, and often used the heads of death row prisoners, and people put the heads of those death row prisoners who were to be beheaded according to the formation of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in places infested by evil spirits, and used human heads to deter these demons and evil spirits.
