Chapter 319: Ritual

Cha Wenbin quickly took out the ink fountain line, and let Chaozi Zhuoxiong and Dashan stand in the four corners, and a line was interconnected in the hands of the four people to form a net, and a small dagger was tied to the center of the net. This dagger has a very peculiar shape, only a blade, no handle, this is a killing blade used for cattle slaughter.

And no matter what you will encounter next, you must always be prepared, and to deal with these things, the only magic weapons that Taoist priests can use are these.

Little Bucktooth carefully continued to stir the mound with his stick, and he looked nervous with each blow. The thing was not buried as deep as they thought, only about half a meter, and the trunk of the little bucktooth had already touched a hard object.

Several people exchanged glances with each other, and they all focused their attention, and the wooden stick gently swept away the top layer of soil, and a lump of black hair slowly revealed, and as the soil gradually cleared, the top of the head with a bun was fully revealed. A hosta is inserted into the bun, which is a dragon-shaped hairpin that has not yet been fully civilized, which is the prototype of the modern dragon: there is no leech and a mighty forehead, just a curved body and an abstract head.

A little further down is the forehead, although it is stained with mud, but the skin on the forehead looks unusually fresh, no different from ordinary people.

"Be careful, this man should be standing in the dirt."

Naked burial without a coffin is not uncommon, but standing naked burial is rare, people will almost choose to lie flat when buried, and only on some special occasions will feng shui be used to bury the coffin vertically.

Sure enough, when the entire shoulder position is fully exposed, the person is at least standing with the upper body up. His eyes were closed, his face was serene, and even his lips were tinged with a hint of red, and there were no signs of clothing on this person.

"Do you want to keep digging?". Little Bucktooth asked, he was a little afraid to move this thing.

"Dig!"

"Didn't you say he was alive?"

Cha Wenbin asked rhetorically, "Do you think he looks like a dead man?" ”。

No one would think that it was a dead person, and even if it was, it was just dead. The little bucktooth had to continue to clean, and then down was the chest, the broad muscle lines showed that this man was also a man with excellent body before his death, when the dirt attached to the chest was gently swept off, except for the little bucktooth, the other four were stunned.

A red dragon-shaped tattoo, a pair of outstretched wings, noble and majestic. In the same position, with the same pattern and almost the same technique, Zhuo Xiong also has one on his body, and Dashan actually has it, but his has become a scar and can no longer be seen.

In response to the dragon tattoo, Zhuo Xiong slowly took off his shirt, and when his dragon-shaped tattoo gradually appeared with the acceleration of his breathing rate, the little bucktooth was also stunned.

"You...... He ......, "For a while, the little bucktooth began to speak incoherently, this should not be someone's ancestral grave."

With a very complicated mood, Zhuo Xiong asked, "Brother Wen Bin, is he really alive?" ”

"Dead wood can be reborn, let alone flesh and blood."

"If he's really alive, I'd love to ask him what his relationship is to me and where this dragon came from."

Little Bucktooth probed with his fingers and said, "I'm not breathing." ”

Cha Wenbin was also not sure, the best way to do now was to get this person out completely, so Xiao Luoya continued to dig hard, Chaozi thought that his movements were a little slow, so he asked Dashan to go over to help, and his speed of doing this work was definitely up to three people.

So Dashan and Xiao Bucktooth switched places, and the wooden stick was used, and the human excavator started, and the earth suddenly splashed everywhere. The wooden stick that Chaozi brought was directly kicked off, and there were some barbs at the bottom of the stick, and the mountain work was rough, so he was pricked by this barb if he didn't care about it.

There was not a drop of blood, maybe only half a drop of blood, and with the next wave of his arm, such a trace of blood fell on the man's forehead, and in the next second, the eyes that had been sleeping for thousands of years finally opened again.

The blade spun open, and the horizontal line hanging from it sank downward, and the tip of the blade was about to plunge into the man's head. But between the lightning and flint, the man opened his eyes, turned his head, stretched out his arm to clasp Dashan's wrist, and then there was a "boom", leaving Cha Wenbin and them to see only a big black hole in the ground.

It's gone! The mountain and the corpse are all gone! The sudden change in the development of events completely surpassed the reaction of ordinary people, leaving only the killing blade to spin and spin, and it had lost its purpose.

Half paid, stunned, people shouted: "Chase down!" ”

It was too dark, there was no light at all, a deep pit the size of a coffin with a diameter was bottomless, and people like Dashan were pulled down without even snorting.

They were all panicked, Zhuo Xiong and Chaozi wanted to go down, Cha Wenbin didn't have a good idea for a while, he lay on the edge of the dark pit and shouted for a long time, and there was no echo below, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Chaozi's anger had nowhere to vent, so he had to rush to Xiao Luoya: "Fuck you, if he has three long and two short, you will wait for the burial!" ”

Xiao Luoya's face was also as earth-colored, and he understood that if the big guy died just now, he was afraid that he would really be torn to pieces by these people.

"I'll go down!" In the end, Cha Wenbin decided to go down and take a look for himself first, in fact, he was not the most suitable person, but he had to do it, because the object of dealing with people could not be living people at all.

The rope was tied around his waist, and Cha Wenbin slowly lowered it down the big pit, and he found that the hole should have been dug a long time ago, and the corpse with the eyes open was standing on two pieces of wood, and now the two pieces of wood have been broken, and the remaining part is still embedded in the tunnel.

The tunnel was not vertically downward, but curved, and constantly changing direction, and in a few moments, he could no longer distinguish between the north, south, and west. However, there are still traces of the fall on both sides of the tunnel, and this tunnel occasionally has ups and downs, so it is impossible for people to be in free fall, but more like they were directly dragged out by a huge force.

Dashan's weight is about one hundred and eighty pounds, and coupled with his huge size, if he wants to pass through this pit quickly, then the dragging force should be unimaginable to normal people. But until the rope in Chaozi's hand was exhausted, Cha Wenbin still did not come to the end, he simply untied the rope tied to his waist and continued to grope forward alone.

The environment around the tunnel is earthy and stony, and the soil is still made of wood, and these tunnels have not collapsed for thousands of years, which only shows one point: this is not deep from the surface, otherwise these woods should not be able to withstand the pressure brought by the upper layer.

The first discovery was that the fragments of clothes on Dashan's body were hanging on a piece of wood, which showed that the direction was right, pinching this rag, Cha Wenbin continued to move forward with all his might, and when the hairs in his ears felt a slight breeze blowing in, he knew that he was finally coming to the end.

When he saw a light flickering in his eyes, he cautiously crawled to the exit, a hollow entrance with a large and striking square below. It is said that it is a square, but it is not a mausoleum, countless torches are burning in huge bronze pillars, and the coffins are stacked into mountains one after another.

Crawling here, he could see many "wild men" kneeling on the ground and worshipping the largest torch in the distance, under which there was a chair on which a man sit. Because the distance is really a little far, the appearance of that person is just obscured by the shadow of the big pillar next to him at this angle, Cha Wenbin can't see the person's appearance clearly, in front of the chair, there is a larger coffin, which is also the largest here, and the coffin is opening the lid.

Cha Wenbin didn't dare to move, he couldn't move, it was at least thirty meters high from the ground, he could only lie here and wait for the opportunity.

It is said that Chaozi found that Cha Wenbin had untied the rope, and simply went down, there was only one way, and in half an hour, the four of them gathered again at the entrance of this cave.

"Isn't this the wild man?"

"Shhh ”

The wild men began to dance, circling around the largest coffin, and whenever someone passed by the coffin, the man took a sharp weapon and slashed his palm, dripping blood into the coffin.

"It's ruthless enough, this can also be done." It was a little far away, but they could still see the red left by the sharp weapons slashing across their palms. Cutting their palms, the savages not only did not howl, but looked excited.

This act of self-harm continued for three full circles, and everyone cut themselves three times, which is estimated by ordinary people to be half a slap in the face. The men retreated to the bottom in an orderly manner and began to worship, and after a chaotic shout of Ulala, the elder who had been in contact with them outside drove most of the people away, leaving only four men in the whole square to keep him company.

As the elder waved the stick in his hand, two of the men stepped forward to set up the man in the chair, and the other two also stepped forward to help, and the four men lifted the man in the chair above his head, and the elder began to chant incantation-like words as they carried the man to the coffin. At this time, Cha Wenbin and Chaozi discovered almost at the same time that the person who was being carried was Dashan!
