Chapter 328: Into the Coal Mine
Guan Zheng said: "Human sacrifice is the ancient sacrificial custom. That is, killing people as sacrifices to the gods. It is located in Handan Stream, Shaanxi County, Henan Province. Originating from primitive societies, when it was in the barbaric stage, productivity was low, and all captives, usually women, were adopted or killed by wives, children, and men, killed and sacrificed to the spirits of their ancestors in order to achieve victory. In Handan Jiangou, Shaanxian County, Henan Province, Longshan Cultural Killing Pit was discovered, in which there were the bones of children between the ages of five and ten.
And I'm talking about human sacrifice rituals. As for human sacrifice rituals, the most famous is not left by the Chinese, but a way used by the Mayans to sacrifice to the gods. In order to thank the gods for their contributions to humanity, and to fill the greedy stomachs of the demons to delay the end of the world, the Mayans held a series of special festivals to sacrifice to the gods, and the most precious offering used to sacrifice was human blood.
When it comes to human sacrifice, there are many ways, the most common is cutting out the chest and digging out the heart. Those who were sacrificed were first painted blue, wore a pointed headdress on their heads, and then died in the square in front of the temple or on the top of the pyramid. He was put on his back and pressed against a raised altar table, which caused his chest and abdomen to bulge and his head and limbs to droop so that he could perform the "surgery" of disembowelment. The four priests grabbed him by all four limbs and straightened him as much as they could.
The "executioner" is the main character of the ritual, who cuts precisely at the left rib of the victim's breast, reaches through the wound into his hand, grabs out the beating heart and places it on a plate, and gives it to the high priest who presides over the ceremony.
The latter, with great skill, smeared the blood from his heart on the idol of the gods. The incision is all over the body, which varies from person to person, sometimes on the forehead, nose, lips, ears, sometimes on the neck, chest, arms, thighs, calves, up to the instep of the feet, and even the pussy is cut to take blood. ”
"This scene is like the square ...... that night" Zheng Wan'er instantly felt that this village was very different, at least, this village had a primitive tribe.
"So you're saying that this traveler was sacrificed?"
Guan Zheng nodded and said: "It should be like this, the donkey friend entered the coal mine, and then broke into the ancestral hall, and was discovered by the people in the village, because they thought that the ancestral hall was violated was very ominous, so they arrested the donkey friend and killed him directly in the ancestral hall as a sacrifice." ”
Xu Jiuyan looked at the man and asked, "Is this true?" ”
"I don't know, I just know that the coal mine is connected to the ancestral hall by a secret passage." Things had changed, the village's secrets had been leaked, and the man had no choice but to answer truthfully.
After hearing this, Jiuyan thought for a while and said, "We may really have to go to the coal mine to have a look." ”
Guan Zheng looked at the man and said, "So, I need you to tell me the situation in the mine and the general route." ”
The man said: "I really don't know, although I have been in the mine, but the situation in the mine is very complicated, if you are not careful, you will get lost, or enter a dead end, it will be very difficult to return to the original main road, it is not that I am unwilling to help you, I also hope to find the murderer of my friend as soon as possible." But there's really nothing I can do, but I can go into the mine with you. "This is already a good result for Guan Zheng.
Early the next morning, eight people entered the coal mine together, and the man stood in front: "No one is working in the mine, we can come and go freely, but if we get lost, we may never be able to get out again, so I hope you are mentally prepared." ”
Guan Zheng said: "We have long been prepared to die in this village, let alone a small coal mine, if we can find a way to get us out of the village together, then we will not take the risk in vain." ”
There was no fire in the coal mine, so everyone had to shuttle through the path in the coal mine with the faint light of the flashlight. The construction of this mine is as intricate as a labyrinth, with various paths crisscrossing and interconnecting.
The dark walls have dimmed the light of the flashlight, and everyone can already feel that the air seems to be getting thinner, but curiosity still drives everyone step by step towards the truth.
The man stopped under a wall and said, "This secret door connects the two rooms, but no one knows what is on the other side of the wall, if you want to go in, you have to find a way to open this door, and according to my experience, this door can definitely not be opened by brute force, there should be a mechanism or other convenient way." ”
Guan Zheng analyzed: "According to common sense, since someone has brought us here, then he must want us to discover the truth of the matter, he will definitely leave us clues, let us gradually get closer to the truth, let's all look together, there are any iconic words or patterns nearby, which will definitely help us open this door." ”
The light from the eight flashlights in the coal mine flowed around, there was nothing on the black wall, and naturally there was no clue that Guan Zheng said, and when everyone looked at the relevant government, Guan Zheng suddenly made an unexpected move, he lit a thin wire on the ground with a match
Xu Jiuyan asked, "What do you think about how you dare to talk to you in the coal mine?" ”
Guan Zheng said: "This is not a coal mine, it should be a black man-made mine, and the thing is what she wants us to see." ”
The thin line quickly burned, forming a huge symbol on the winding wall pointing to a black brick.
Seki-masa decisively pressed the brick, and a sound that shook the earth sounded, and the huge wall slowly lifted up, revealing the mystery. Everyone cautiously walked out along the trail, and after a distance of about a few tens of meters, they turned to the other side of the mountain, and in the center was a huge lake.
Looking at the lake to the naked eye, at least a few hectares, the man said in surprise and panic: "Lake Rolmi." ”
"What happened to Lake Rormie?" Lu Yaochen asked.
Guan Zheng said: "Because of its shape like a human ear, Rommy Lake is known as the "ear of the earth", also known as the "Sea of Death", also known as Rob Naoer, and later after the transformation of geological engineers, it has become a "city of hope". The geographical masterpiece "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the pre-Qin period called it "Youze", and it was also called Size, Yanze, Puchanghai and so on. Lobnauer is a Mongolian transliteration name, which means a lake of many waters. In the eastern part of the Tarim Basin, with an altitude of about 780 meters, it is located at the lowest point of the Tarim Basin, where the Tarim River, the Peacock River, the Cherchen River and the Shule River converge, making it the second largest saltwater lake in China. Later, due to climate change and the impact of human hydraulic projects, the amount of water coming from the upstream has decreased, and now there is only a small amount of water. ”
