Chapter Eighty-Three: The Everlasting Lantern (I)

At this time, Liuzi suddenly shouted: "Look, there is someone!" Exercise...... It's a dead man! ā€

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the beams of seven or eight flashlights were messed up at once, and in the chaos, I don't know who stepped on me suddenly, and I was so hurt that I slipped away, and a cold sweat immediately broke out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Looking at the light of the six sons, just under the wall on our left, there were two dead men kneeling with their heads drooping, and the flashlights were shaking on their bodies and they were motionless, I am afraid that they have been dead for a long time, but strangely, the clothes and corpses did not show any signs of decay...... Neither rotten nor rotten? Could it be a thousand-year-old corpse?

I felt a sigh in my heart, I couldn't help but take two steps back, the palms of my hands holding the flashlight were full of cold sweat, and when I wanted to go back, Ah Li behind me suddenly shouted: "Oh my God! There are also ...... ahead This, too! It's all headless! ā€

Ah Li's call made everyone who was already worried scattered, and the third master was still experienced in the end, so he stabilized the army's heart first: "Don't panic!" He is dead, we are alive! If they are afraid, they are afraid! Now turn on the flashlight to the maximum brightness, the weapon is in your hand, Liuzi, you take out the wind lamp! ā€

With a dozen lights, the half-sized chamber was lit up as bright as day. I saw a circle of ancients kneeling around the tomb, facing us, with their backs against the wall, between the two pairs, there was an interval of about one meter, eight on the left and right walls, two on the side with the tomb door, four on the opposite wall, a total of twenty-two.

Twenty-two dead people who don't rot or rot!

And under our feet, there is an arched white jade bridge, without fences on both sides, and there are five semicircular bridge openings under it, which are large in the middle and smaller on both sides; The bridge deck is very wide, the widest part of the two ends is two meters, the middle is narrow, about one meter, and there is no water under the bridge; The four roof beam columns stand on both sides of the bridge, two meters from the front and rear walls, and one meter from the left and right walls.

And at this time, we also saw clearly that these were not living people, let alone dead people, but bronze bronze figures. Because the color is too close to the color of the person's skin, and the light is dim just now, everyone has a ghost in their hearts, and they will mistakenly think that it is a dry corpse that does not rot. Ah Li is not wrong when she says that the dead man with a "severed head" is not wrong, because these bronze figures all hang their heads very low one by one, completely buried in their chests, exposing the back of their necks, and it is easy to look away when they have poor vision.

"Damn, what a decapitator! Next time, let's see it clearly, people are scary, scared to death, you can scare people to death like this, do you know! The sixth son became bold at this time, and began to count the pears.

Ah Li snatched him and said, "Don't you also say that you are a dead man?" What a god! After speaking, I didn't give the sixth son a chance to talk back, followed me and Lao Qiao, got off the bridge, and went to the bronze statue.

This bronze statue looks close, it seems to be a child, with a small bun combed in his hair, tied with a head rope, his hair is still very short, he is wearing the clothes of the Qin people, he kneels on the ground with his knees together, his two hands are respectfully flat on his knees, his head is just said, and he is buried in front of his chest, and he has to hook his head from the bottom to the top to see his face.

Sure enough, it was a little boy, with half-closed eyes, chubby cheeks, and the corners of his mouth pursed into a straight line, which showed that he was not dozing off, but because he was nervous.

The second bronze figure resembled a little girl, with two buns on her head, and kneeling like a little boy, with a look of extreme fear on her face. After that, there was still a boy and a girl, all in one posture and one expression. The eight third masters on the opposite side have confirmed it, and this is also the case, and the remaining old Qiao at the front and back heads went to confirm, and the result was the same.

It seems that this should be a place where some kind of important ceremony is held. But what is the important ceremony that requires so many boys and girls?

Could it be...... Sacrifice?

I remember watching "Journey to the West" when I was a child, and there was an episode that said that Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie transformed into a pair of boys and girls to replace the sacrifice, of course, the purpose was to subdue demons and eliminate demons. But there are so many boys and girls here, are they all for sacrifices?

Oh my God, this is clearly a massacre!

At this time, Ah Li asked me in a low voice: "Brother Qianyi, why are there so many boys and girls here?" ā€

I told her what I had just guessed, and when I said it, my junior brother, Ah Chen, and my sixth son all gathered around, and even the third uncle on the opposite side looked at me intently. This whole thing makes me embarrassed, but it is undeniable that I am a little vanity in my heart, no wonder Old Joe's old boy is so fond of showmanship, it turns out that the magic is here.

I floated, the inspiration came to the whizzing, while talking and making, and made up some speculation about the sacrifice, what to sacrifice pigs and sheep, sacrifice to boys, sacrifice virgins, etc., etc., are all idle and bored in college, from the TV series, and finally speculated: "So, this must be an ancient sacrificial platform, the ancients held some kind of ritual on the stone bridge, it may be to pray for rain, or it may be to eliminate disasters, and finally it depends on the will of 'God', that is, 'heaven', to choose one or all of these prostring boys and girls as sacrifices." Kill. As he spoke, he made a motion to wipe his neck.

At this moment, the back of the boy's neck suddenly burned, and everyone was startled, and reflexively planted back, and almost in the next second, a cluster of flames burst out of the back necks of several boys and girls next to him, like an infectious disease, one by one, and in less than three seconds, the back necks of the twenty-two boys and girls in the entire burial chamber were on fire.

At this time, I don't know if it was the sixth son or the junior brother who shouted: "Ghost...... There are ghosts! Because of excessive fright, his voice completely changed his tone, sharp and thin, neither male nor female, and suddenly struggled to remember in the back, and was held down by Ah Li: "Coward, aunts and grandmothers are not afraid, what are you afraid of!" ā€

Anyway, I don't believe that there are really any ghosts in this world, and some people are scared of themselves, because no one has yin and yang eyes, and no one can see or touch them, but if they really see and touch them, then they are not ghosts.

I fixed my mind and looked closer, but my heart beat uncontrollably, and when I saw it clearly, I was frightened! It turned out that on the back of the neck of these boys and girls, there was a double-layered lampshade, which was also bronze, with a spout-shaped kettle, and a thick wrist, about three inches high, and there was liquid on both sides of the inner and outer sides, the inner layer seemed to be oil, and the outer layer did not know what it was.

Just now I was thinking about why they were here, and I didn't care about these details at all, so I breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, there's a light in the back." ā€

Liuzi looked around, saw that nothing strange happened, and relaxed: "What does this mean?" Did you want to roast the sacrifice and eat it? ā€

At this time, the third master on the opposite side said with a smile: "This is called the everlasting lamp, also known as the 'ceaseless fire', unless the oil runs out and the lamp dries up, otherwise, people will blow constantly." These bronze men you see are the lamps of the lamps. ā€

"What?" Liuzi said suspiciously, "Lamp holder?!" Turning his head to look at me, he was stunned: "No...... Isn't it a sacrifice? His face burned red.
