Chapter 144: Blood Sacrifice for the Living
Although the fat man said whatever he wanted, his idea was not denied by Xia Qing on the spot, and everyone also got some enlightenment, because these building rooms are indeed very similar to prisons, just because these black architectural forms tend to be the same, and they are very monotonous, there is only seven or eight square meters of space in the arched door, most of them have no roofs, or they have collapsed, so these buildings really can't rule out the possibility of prisons.
The group discussed the black buildings around them as they walked along the avenue towards the front.
Looking down from the cliff, the ancient city of Yinshan could not see its true scale, but at this moment they walked in it, entered the ancient city from the east side, and walked along the avenue in the ancient city to the west, but found that the scale of this ancient city was really amazing.
In the distance, a black pyramid-shaped building can be seen all the time.
The black pyramid is really high, it looks like it should be about 40 meters, and its shape is very peculiar, according to Xia Qing, this is very similar to the ancient Mayan pyramids in South America, except that it is completely black, and its architectural form is not visible at such a distance.
But it is certain that this building must be a landmark discovery in the archaeological history of China and even the world.
Xia Qing's point of view was immediately questioned by Gao Chao, Gao Chao asked Xia Qing, this ancient city of Yinshan was discovered twenty years ago, but why has no one heard of it until now? Could it be that those who came here twenty years ago just blocked the news?
Gao Chao's implication is that he is talking about Xia Qing's grandfather, that is, Professor Xia Qiu, he was the one who escaped from here back then, why has Xia Qiu been tight-lipped in the past 20 years, and the 101 Institute of Geology, it is even more incredible, their people have disappeared here, don't they come to look for it?
Of course, Xia Qing heard the meaning of Gao Chao's words, but Xia Qing didn't want to answer any questions, she just shook her head and said that she didn't know, but whether she had an answer or not, only she knew.
In this way, the group walked towards the black pyramid in the distance, which seemed to be very close, but it was not until noon that they actually came to the bottom of this pyramid.
The black pyramid, standing in the center of the ancient city, is made of the same black bricks and stones, there are no fancy architectural forms, not even carvings and statues, only a step in front of the tower, steeply leading to the top of the tower, and that step is really inconspicuous, if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find.
At this moment, everyone stood in front of the tower and looked around, and they all let out a voice of emotion.
Gao Chao stood at the foot of the tower, looked at everything around him, and exclaimed, "How does this remind me of a place?" ”
The fat man said on the side: "Old Gao, don't you think of Tiananmen Square?" ”
Gao Chao looked at the fat man and said, "That's right! I just remembered Tiananmen Square! ”
Wang Lianba, who was on the side, also said at this time: "Don't say it, this place is really like." ”
At this moment, the location of everyone is the main avenue on the south side of the Black Pyramid, and on the south side of the avenue is a very flat large square, and the floor of the square is also paved with black masonry, although it is overgrown with weeds and plants at the moment, but this does not affect the imagination of everyone to imagine its grand scale.
So it's strange that it feels really similar to Tiananmen Square, but it seems to be a lot bigger than Tiananmen Square.
Gao Chao looked at the square, and suddenly remembered something, so he said to Wang Lianba: "Eighth master, this can't be the place on the mural, right?" ”
Wang Lianba was not surprised when he heard Gao Chao's words, but just nodded and said, "I think this is it, this square should be the place where people gathered back then, and then they went up from here, climbed to the top of the pyramid, and completed the blood sacrifice there." ”
As Wang Lianba spoke, he gestured with his hand to the tall black pyramid in front of him, which reminded Gao Chao of the mural, and he couldn't help but shudder, just because he recalled the content painted on the mural, which was taken to the top of the pyramid and then cut off the head, and everything seemed to be right in front of him.
However, Wang Lianba's words also attracted Jiang Ji's attention, he has been very silent since he entered this ancient city, he always follows behind everyone, every building, every detail, he also pays attention to it, as if he has been looking for something.
At this moment, when Wang Lianba said the word "blood sacrifice", he suddenly became interested.
"Eighth Master ......" Jiang Ji asked for the first time, "What does blood sacrifice mean?" ”
Wang Lian Ba was naturally a little surprised when he saw that Jiang Ji was asking questions, but he didn't have much patience, and simply explained: "It is to kill, and then sacrifice with the blood of the living." ”
After speaking, Wang Lianba walked towards the black pyramid in front of him, as if he had seen something that interested him more.
And Xia Qing saw the puzzled expression on Jiang Ji's face at this moment, and felt pity in his heart, and even explained to Jiang Ji on the side: "Jiang Ji, blood sacrifice is to sacrifice with blood, which has more to do with the beliefs of ancient people, because the ancients believed that human life is the union of souls, if the soul is separated, human life will not exist, and the human soul, the ancients thought that it was in the blood, not only the ancient Chinese thought so, but also the ancient people in the West thought so, so there will be blood sacrifices, with the blood of living people or live animals, you can use the soul in your blood to attract the gods of heaven, or the spirits of the dead, which is a very common method of sacrifice. ”
Xia Qing patiently explained a lot to Jiang Ji, but Gao Chao sighed secretly on the side, saying that Jiang Ji's Mandarin level may not even understand half of it.
However, Jiang Ji still nodded gratefully and said "thank you", he listened to Xia Qing's explanation, and looked at the top of the black pyramid again, as if thinking about something.
Xia Qing only took out her camera again at this time to take pictures of the huge black pyramid in front of her, she carefully observed the pyramid, and then tilted her head as if thoughtful.
Gao Chao looked at Xia Qing from the side, and asked casually, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with this pyramid? ”
Xia Qing nodded, but as soon as he reacted, this question was asked by Gao Chao, so he turned his head and walked away by himself.
Gao Chao was stunned for a moment and sighed, he seemed to know why Xia Qing was here, because since what happened next to the hot spring that night, Xia Qing had always seemed to have some inexplicable opinions about him.
Gao Chao was helpless and in a daze, at this time Wang Lianba was standing next to the pyramid, but he seemed to have found something, several people surrounded him, Gao Chao stood the farthest, and at this moment he had to hurry over to see what was going on.
At this moment, Wang Lianba was holding a compass in his hand, this kind of compass was not very familiar, but he also recognized it, just because he had received such antiques in the antique shop.
In Gao Chao's impression, this kind of compass is mostly a prop for Taoist priests to swagger and deceive, or a real feng shui master to show people the Yin Mansion and choose a cemetery, in short, it is all used for that purpose, but he didn't expect that Wang Lianba was holding one in his hand at this moment, which made Gao Chao a little puzzled.
Gao Chao couldn't figure it out, but the fat man saw the doorway, and then pouted on the side and said: "I'll just say that the eighth master, you are not ordinary, it turns out that you can also look at feng shui to find the eight tendons." ”
Wang Lianba was stunned and said: "Fat man, this is not easy to talk about, I, Wang Lianba, only know a little bit about it, take this out, but I don't look at feng shui to find eight tendons." ”
Gao Chaoyue was more and more confused when he heard this, and asked on the side: "I understand Feng Shui, why is there still a search for eight tendons, what does it mean?" ”
The fat man said on the side: "Looking for the eight tendons is similar to looking at feng shui, but it is different, looking at feng shui is to see the wind and water, and to see the side branches of the mountains, which are all for the living, but looking for the eight tendons is completely different, this is for the ...... of the dead."
When the fat man said this, Wang Lianba hurriedly stopped the fat man, afraid that he would continue to speak, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry about looking for the eight tendons first, you should look at the pointer on this compass first!" ”
