"Phoenix gall" was thrown into the cloud lake under the sky beam by Uncle Ming, I angrily dragged him off the stone statue, raised his fist to fight, but before I could do it, I heard Shirley Yang shout: "It's not good, time is gone." After speaking, looking up at the crystal veins above his head, Ah Xiang, who was sitting on the ground, and the fat man who had just avoided behind another stone figure in order to avoid the gun, including Uncle Ming, who was pressed below by me, also raised their heads and looked at them.

This is the light in the cave has changed, originally from the fluorescence emitted from the ore above, at this time also suddenly darkened, followed by the black, although there is no black invisible, but the figure close at hand has appeared hazy and blurred, I saw their actions, I knew that something must have happened on the head, so I held down Uncle Ming, raised my eyes to see, from the ice wall-like crystal veins, extended countless scattered and expanding crystals, all of which were born at a distorted angle downward, clusters like wind-powered ice vertebrae, in these bizarre crystals, A huge black figure, squirming in the depths, emitting bursts of thunderous movements, echoing repeatedly on the crystal wall, emitting an ominous sound, the appearance of the black shadow, diluted most of the cold fluorescence, and the environment in the cave became darker and darker.

The scene of black clouds pressing down on the city made the already very narrow altar space even more depressing, listening to the rumbling sound above, the inexplicable sense of panic in the white tunnel appeared in my heart again, and I couldn't help but wonder: "What is that ***?" ”

I was originally talking to myself, but I didn't expect Uncle Ming, who was held down by me, to suddenly say: Brother Hu, this is 。。。。。。 It's an evil spirit sealed in a stone, it's coming out of the stone, I'm afraid it's really over this time, and we won't be able to live. “

Only then did I think of Uncle Ming, and when I heard that he still had the face to talk to me, my heart suddenly became angry, thinking that this old Hong Kong farmer had raped home. Originally, I was discussing the matter of the altar with Shirley Yang and the fat man, although the situation was pressing, but there was still some time to think of a way, although the ritual of killing was very mysterious and ancient, but in the final analysis, it was nothing more than changing the balance between yin and yang at the intersection of this string and arc, and if there was no accident, in the remaining hour or so, there might be a chance to find out the secret. It is not destined to be a situation of death and no life, and this time in Tibet, no matter what kind of predicament you face. I have never given up my efforts, because Zhang Yingchuan's number of machines refers to the fact that only when encountering water can I get the middle way, and there will be something going on this westward journey, and I will be able to benefit from the big river, which is pointed out by the solemn divine art again and again. I don't have the slightest doubt about this, but how can we "meet the water and get the middle way" in this ritual, but what is the way to survive in the water in this case? I couldn't understand it for a while.

But I haven't had a chance to comprehend the true meaning of it, just because this Hong Kong farmer is so clever that in order to save his life, he actually robbed the "phoenix gall" to blackmail everyone, and wasted all our precious time. So he raised his fist and tried to beat him.

When Uncle Ming saw me say that I would do it, he was immediately shocked, my treatment of the enemy, especially the inner ghost, has always been as cruel as winter, and I was not moved at all, but my fist has not yet fallen. Uncle Ming's expression changed suddenly, his face was full of confusion, he looked at me and said, "Hey。。。。。 Where am I? Brother Hu。。。。。 What just happened? I have an old problem, sometimes I have a split personality, even what I have just done, I can't remember what I said, was there a gaffe just now? “

I snorted coldly, stopped beating him anymore, and couldn't help but admire Uncle Ming a little in my heart, the old fritter saw the opportunity quickly, and his ability to pretend to be stupid was much stronger than me and the fat man, it was a pity not to act in a movie, I couldn't really kill him, a fat beating would not help, and at this time I didn't have time to pay attention to him anymore, I looked up at the situation above, the black figure became clearer and clearer in the crystal, the shadow was shaking slightly, and the muffled thunder in the air was even more harsh, it really looked like some kind of demon trapped in the stone, It seems to be struggling to crawl out of it.

I didn't pay attention to Uncle Ming pretending to be crazy and stupid, and beckoned the fat man to come over: "I'll leave it to you, but education and education will be done, don't make a human life... Also, if he gets half a step closer to the phoenix gall, he doesn't need to speak, and shoots him directly. “

The fat man sat on Uncle Ming's body with a glaring ass, pressed him under him, and scolded while poking Uncle Ming's ribs with his fingers: "The experience of history and the lessons of the past tell us again and again that whoever *** isolates himself from the people is a fucking dead end." "Scolding and scraping on his ribs.

I heard Uncle Ming's scream like a ghost crying wolf because of the pain and itching, and then I felt a bad breath, and if I didn't teach him a lesson, it would inevitably cause chaos in the future, so I didn't care how the fat man saved Uncle Ming's wrong position, and hurriedly ran to Shirley Yang and said: "Although we don't know what that big black sky strikes Thunder Mountain is, once that thing above is really out of the crystal knowledge, it will definitely be something that we can deal with our current ability, but looking at the movement above, we may still have one last bit of time." , I'll go down and get the phoenix gall back first. “

Although I said that, what is it like under this vast sea of clouds and stone smoke, I only heard the fat man say, but it can be known that the terrain below is unimaginably complex, all of them are mirror-like multi-edged crystals, and it is impossible to distinguish the front and back, left and right, a dragon's eye-like bead falls, the result can be imagined, it is by no means a moment to be recovered, and even the possibility of finding it again is very low, and the time is too urgent, but if you don't look for it, there is not even a one percent chance,

Shirley Yang just saw that the crystal veins above his head had changed, and immediately ran back to the belly of Yushan, looked at the situation of the crystal sand, and then ran back to Tianliang to help Ah Xiang, who was sitting on the ground crying, up, and after listening to what I said, he immediately stopped me and said: It's too late, the time has come to an end, it's too late, the crystal bowl has been filled with fine sand, and what if you get it back? Do you really want to kill Uncle Ming? ”

I just want to get back the "phoenix gall" as soon as possible, and despite Shirley Yang's dissuasion, I insist on jumping off the beam, but suddenly an incredible scene appeared in my eyes, and I hurriedly said to Shirley Yang: "Look at the stone smoke below!" It seems that something has changed. ”

In the hazy fluorescence, the white smoke second only to the crystal dust was lowering in height little by little; It was as if the black figure above the head became larger, and the stone smoke became thinner. We don't notice when this change occurred, but the cloud is now half a meter thicker than before, and it is still decreasing, becoming thinner.

It was in the midst of this cloud that the thickness was gradually decreasing, and half a dark round object appeared in it—that was where the "Phoenix Gall" had just fallen—and it was none other than the "Phoenix Gall" that mattered to the overall situation, which was a bit too hard to believe. Could it really be such a coincidence, there happened to be a crystal stone in the place where Uncle Ming threw it, and the "phoenix gall" actually fell on it and did not roll into the depths? I can't believe that we have such good luck, but the facts are in front of us, and people can't help but believe it.

I pinched my leg hard, not dreaming, Shirley Yang also saw it clearly. But then the clouds continued to descend in a very thin layer, and when we saw something under the clouds, our hearts could not help but beat wildly. I saw a withered and blackened arm holding the "phoenix gall" motionlessly - the half of the arm that emerged from the cloud had completely lost its moisture, leaving the shriveled skin wrapped around the bone frame, and the skin was black and purple.

I subconsciously reached into the bag and touched the black donkey's hooves, and then I remembered that those things had been lost on the road. However, I immediately saw more and more shocking things revealed under the clouds, some places showing human heads, some places showing arms and thighs, without exception, all naked, dry black and purple, densely packed to count how many. The white smoke became thicker and thicker as it fell, and the rate of thinning began to slow down. When Shirley Yang and I saw this, we already understood in our hearts that these dried corpses were thrown around Yushan after the sacrificial ceremony of that year, and over the years, there were too many corpses, and they were piled up into a mountain. And the deceased may be due to special dehydration treatment, or due to the effect of the geographical environment, it is not rotten through the ages; This is only gradually revealed as the clouds become thinner. The place where the fat man and Uncle Ming fell was close to the entrance of the tunnel, but they only saw countless strange crystals, and it was obvious that the dried corpses that had been used as sacrifices were thrown on both sides of the jade mountain.

I was so surprised to see that the "phoenix gall" fell on the hand of a dry corpse in a high place, and I immediately jumped off the beam, intending to step on the mountain of corpses to retrieve the beads. The place less than a meter deep under the sky beam was already full of dried corpses, and when I stepped on them, I trampled them and slid them down. I didn't bother to look at the dried corpses, my eyes were fixed on the "phoenix gall", lest it roll down from the top of the corpse mountain; If you fall into the cracks of the corpse pile, it will be a hundred times harder to find than falling into the crystalline stone.

Stepping on a large number of dried corpses exposed to the clouds, I was also a little nervous, and I didn't pay attention to the situation under my feet, and stepped on the skull of a dried corpse, and actually stepped on the human head. The dry corpse's skull was dry, hard and very slippery, and his feet slipped on it, and he suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell on the ground, pounced on a woman's corpse.

The two black holes on the shriveled face of the female corpse were very large, I was taken aback, secretly cursed, and held down the messy accumulation of dried corpses and wanted to get up and continue to take the "phoenix gall", but my eyes couldn't leave the female corpse - because I suddenly thought, no, these dried corpses are not sacrifices, and their skin has not been stripped off - just now I only stared at the "phoenix gall", there was nothing else in my eyes, because of the fall, a little distracted, I noticed this detail. And this mountain of dried corpses, each of them, whether men, women or children, has a common feature - of course, it is not that they are not undressed, and their clothes have probably rotted to ashes - all the dried corpses have had their eyes gouged out.

The thunder above me grew tighter and tighter, like a spell of urgency, and I knew that time was running out for us. Fortunately, after the crystal sand runs out, it will take a while for the "Great Black Sky Thunder Mountain" to fully manifest, which is equivalent to the Grim Reaper still leaving us with a glimmer of life, and what we have to do now is to race against death.

Seeing the two big dark black holes on the face of the female corpse, although I also wondered what kind of relationship so many dried corpses had with the altar; Although I vaguely felt that something was wrong here, the idea of quickly crawling over and getting the "phoenix gall" back had completely occupied most of my mind at the moment, and I didn't have time to think carefully about what the reputation of these dried corpses was—I didn't care about the disgusting feeling of crawling in the mountain of corpses, and I only had "phoenix gall" in my mind, which was an extreme emotion generated under full psychological pressure, and I couldn't control my actions a little.

But the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't get up, whether it was my arms or legs, I couldn't hold it anymore, my hands and feet were stuck in the middle of the layers of dried corpses, and I was so anxious that I was sweating all over. Maybe it has something to do with the dark shadow overhead, and I feel a panic when I see it, maybe it's really some kind of evil spirit that exists in the ore; His mind was full of thoughts, and his hands and feet were trapped by the ridges of dried corpses. In the midst of my anxiety, Shirley Young jumped down from the beam, helped me up, and I said to her, "These many dried corpses are not sacrifices, they have not been skinned. ”

Shirley Yang said, "No, they all had their eyelids cut off and a pair of human eyes gouged out, and they could complete the ritual of sacrificing to the ghost cave. ”

Shirley Young's words were like an important reminder, I immediately glanced at the dried corpse under my feet, and sure enough, the eyelids were cut off from the eyebrow bone, and I suddenly came to my senses, and I didn't need to elaborate, I already understood what she meant, and the mural depicting the murder ritual flashed quickly in my mind like a movie. The first pair of "skinning", the priest held down the head of the sacrifice, and began to execute from the forehead with a sharp weapon, because I had heard that skinning people was also done from the head with a sharp knife, so it was inevitable to have preconceived ideas, and the execution pit was too bloody, and I wanted to vomit after a few more looks, so in a hurry, I mistakenly thought that the action in the mural was to peel off the whole human skin, in fact, from these dried corpses piled up into a hill, the action in the mural refers to the peeling off of the eyelids, with this premise, the content in the future is naturally easy to solve, What needs to be done in the human-shaped stone trough is to take out the "eyes" of the sacrifice completely, and the priest holds the corpse and puts it into the mural of the altar, in which the corpse is painted very blurred, and we mistakenly think that it is a corpse bleeding all over the body, but now that I think about it, the body with a blurred body should be used to represent the life attached to the eyeball, and the sacrifice that was cut off from the eyes, after being brutally killed, abandoned near the altar, has formed the current astonishing scale over the years.

As long as we sacrifice a pair of human eyes assimilated by the ghost cave, the curse on the body can be lifted, but when we came in from the white tunnel, we were blindfolded all the way, groping in the dark, knowing that the panic and helplessness of losing sight and falling into the boundless darkness, if we gouged out our eyes, I don't know if it would be better to die, except for Shirley Yang, who is willing to give up their eyes, but of course I can't let her do this, it's a big deal to let Uncle Ming wear the guilt and make meritorious service, but if you do this, Shirley Yang definitely didn't agree, but compared with peeling out his eyes and killing people, it was already a half-price discount, and his spirit was also lifted when he thought of this.

These thoughts flashed in his mind, and the body did not stop acting because of these chaotic thoughts, and finally approached the "phoenix gall" that fell into the hands of a dry corpse, but he was in a hurry, and committed the taboo of "if you want to hurry, you can't reach it", and the last arrow jumped out, wanting to grab the "phoenix gall", but this hill of dried corpses, because a large number of dried corpses were thrown down from the beam, not intentionally piled up, many places inside the corpse mountain are empty, as soon as there is an external force to apply, the hill made of dry corpses will be scattered, Just like a landslide, a large piece collapsed at the edge, and the "phoenix gall" in the hands of the dry corpse was about to roll down with several nearby corpses.

I shouted, pounced directly, while catching the "phoenix gall", I rolled down the edge of the collapse of the corpse mountain with those dry corpses that lost their support, here is not high from the crystal ore layer below, rolling down to a depth of five or six meters, it has stopped the momentum, I don't wait to get up from the ground, I first looked at the "phoenix gall" in my hand, really held it in my hand, and then it grew a mouthful, and finally got it back.

At this time, the white stone smoke around me has become extremely thin, and the rest is like a chaotic cloud drifting, the crystal veins around me are fluorescent, the terrain is almost completely symmetrical with the top of the head, as if it is reflected in the mirror, because of the countless dried corpses scattered nearby, the ground is full, so it is not easy to be affected by the crystal surface of the ice wall, I looked up at the top of my head, it was really subversive, the wind and clouds changed color, the dark shadow was distorted and elongated, the whole was stretched, and it was no longer the shape of a human being, Like a black and broken black wind horse flag, slowly rotating in the crystal, looking at the shape, it turned out to be like a black eye socket, which was constantly drumming, as if it was about to drip water against the jade mountain.

Shirley Yang stood on the edge of the corpse mountain, desperately calling Ah Xiang and the others on the Tianliang to leave quickly, the fat man pulled Ah Xiang and Uncle Ming to jump from the Tianliang to the corpse pile below, stumbling and shouting while running: "The altar can't stay, run quickly, comrades......"

I can't quite see what they saw, but I feel a chill in my heart, although I have found the "phoenix gall", but after all, it is a step too late, and I may not be able to return to the altar, I suddenly had an impulse, I plan to risk rushing back, but what about the eyes? With whom? Rip off Uncle Ming's or use my own?

At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of water slapping against the stone wall, I quickly looked back, and saw that in a cluster of crystal veins not far away, there was a small underground water hole, the water in it was stained red with blood, the white-bearded old fish that we had seen in the wind erosion lake, we fell into the underground lake with it, although the underground water veins crisscrossed like a net, but I really didn't expect to see it again here.

The white-bearded old fish was dying stranded at the water's edge, although it was still alive, but death was only a matter of time, its whole body was wounded by the bite and impact, the fish's mouth opened and closed, and kept spitting blood blisters, with a mouthful of blood gushing out, it actually spit out two bead-like things from its mouth, and fell to the ground in a dripping way.

Although the two beads were covered with blood, I still saw that the thing was the eyeballs of the ghost mother's "glacier crystal corpse", there was no more suitable sacrifice than it, it was really an endless road, I immediately got up and wanted to take the eyeballs on the ground, but the crystal layer under my feet was slippery than the ice, and I slipped again, and the two crystal eyeballs of the ghost mother were also sliding into the water, although I was only one step away from them, but I didn't have time to stand up, and I couldn't reach them in place, and watched them roll to the water's edge, Once you fall in, it's all over.

In a hurry, I can only take risks, I casually pulled out the mountaineering pickaxe, flat on the crystal layer to push the front end of the direction of the eyeball rolling, although this is a desperate but not bad, finally before the pair of eyeballs rolled into the water, they were blocked back, my hanging heart has not yet landed, I saw the two crystal eyes, actually slowly rolled up to the side of the slope, opposite the two crystal ores, a black and white pattern of "brindle Jiao", squeezed out a pair of blood basin mouth, is staring at the greedy blood-red eyes, inhaling hard, Swallowing the fishy smell of the air current, he inhaled the pair of eyeballs into his abdomen.
