Chapter Ninety-Five: The Bones in Front of the Statue

Isn't this the Dragon King's Palace, there will be a statue of the sea god Mazu in the Dragon King's Palace, we looked around the hall, in fact, it can't be called the main hall here, it is more appropriate to call the temple, in this temple, visit all kinds of incense burners, obviously for people to use incense, we have a guess, the hall that hung the dragon king hall three words should belong to the front hall of the Dragon King Palace, it stands to reason that the front hall should be the most important nave after the front hall, but it is a temple of the god of the sea, which is very puzzling.

However, since it is the god of the sea god, and we have heard so many stories of the sea god, we dare not be ambiguous, so we walked to the statue and knelt down and kowtowed three times to show awe, and You Eighteen also read in a hearty voice: "Sister the sea god keeps me safe." ”

In this temple, apart from the stone statue of the god of the sea and the incense burner, there is only this skeleton left, and there are no valuable clues, so we focused on this skeleton.

Let's take a closer look at this corpse, the bones have been rotten for I don't know how many years, the tattered black robe on the body is the same as the evil spirits in the Bagua Underground Palace, and this corpse has no hands, sitting in front of the stone statue of the sea god Mazu, and we have seen before, this corpse is also black, the skeleton is larger than ordinary people, if you guess correctly, it is also a high priest.

You Eighteen pointed to the corpse and said to the old cat, "Wouldn't this also be an evil spirit?" Let's see if there are any soul suppression beads in my mouth,"

The old cat shook his head and said, "No, it doesn't have the conditions for the formation of evil spirits, there is not so much yin qi here for it to nourish its spirits, and it does not have a trace of spiritual energy." ”

I asked, "How can you get until it has no aura?" ”

The old cat said: "Distinguishing the soul is a craft, the living have yang, the ghost has yin, the yang heat dissipation, the yin blows the cold wind, judge the temperature of the living, judge the dead with saliva, the so-called yin and yang fusion, yang and yin will also blend, saliva is the product of yang, spit a little saliva on the fingertips, close to the bones, if there is yin in the bones, the temperature of the saliva at the fingertips will drop sharply, the cold is biting, I tried it when I came in just now, this corpse is no problem." ”

After hearing this, You Eighteen said excitedly: "Awesome, old cat, you can be much stronger than the Maoshan Taoist, why don't you go to catch ghosts, maybe you will make a fortune." ”

The old cat said with a smile: "Feng Shui is an art, inherited for thousands of years, in fact, some things are not separated, the land and the sea are the same, once when the ghost hunting industry was developed, the inland is full of ghost hunting and tomb robbers, now why there are more treasures in the sea, because these people have almost caught the ghosts on the land, and the tomb is about to be empty, only the remaining tombs with origins, no one dares to steal, thinking that there must be evil ghosts or ghosts in it, and we who explore the sea will be happy, We haven't given up the craftsmanship of our ancestors, so there aren't many people who come to compete with us for jobs now, but now that technology is so advanced, and more and more ruins are being excavated, I think sooner or later we will have to lose our jobs, but when will we run out of water, this is not something we consider. ”

The old cat once again popularized the knowledge to us, and we couldn't get enough of it, but then again, the three of us stood stupidly and stared at the corpse in a daze, and there was no progress, so I asked, "Do you want to turn it over, maybe there are pockets?" ”

The old cat nodded and said, "Okay, but I'll turn it over, you stand farther away, in case there is any mechanism, I still expect you to pull me." ”

At the moment, we really don't dare to rush up, the old cat has a certain amount of experience, for us little white, can only watch quietly on the side, and I am afraid that there are really some traps, so I reminded the old cat, said: "You be careful." ”

The old cat was very confident, but his movements were not reckless, he squatted in front of the bones, carefully observed the appearance of the bones from top to bottom, and said while looking: "You see, its skull is covered by the heavenly spirit, there is an obvious percussion, the bones in the place where it was knocked are broken, but they are not shattered, the corpse is stiff and stiff, and the skin is hardened, which is obviously done after death, and I don't know who has such a big enmity with it, and I won't let it go when it dies." "The old cat didn't touch the bones, but I could see that this person was knocked after death, this is a corpse that I don't know how many hundred years old, I admire it.

The old cat continued: "This person's clothes belong to the style of the Li tribe in Hainan, but from the perspective of the size of the skeleton, this person is at least two meters or more, and the bones are black throughout, not like they were formed after death, they should be born with them, if according to what Ah Ming said before, then the aborigines on Longwang Island should be more than two meters big, and the bones are all black, and the black bones I think should be a rare disease, causing the aborigines to grow tall, and I don't know if this disease is harmful." ”

The old cat took a breath and continued: "Its limbs are sound except for its hands, and it can be concluded from its wrists that its hands were not in its lifetime, because the bones of its severed hands have been healed into shapes, plus the information we got on the murals in the front hall of the Dragon King Palace, this person must have been one of the aborigines of the group of aborigines who summoned the sea god with broken hands before his death, and this alone is enough to prove that such an event really happened at that time." ”

Speaking of this, You Eighteen interjected and said, "There are tens of thousands of black hand bones near the altar we encountered in the haze before, could it be that they were all cut down by the aboriginal severed hand sacrifice by themselves?" ”

You Eighteen said this, I remembered, we encountered the gossip dungeon under the altar that there were black hand bones on the ground to find along the hand bones, even if these hand bones were two pieces for one person, we encountered along the way not tens of thousands of pieces, but also thousands, if every two hand bones belonged to one person, then there would be thousands of people, thousands of people would have to cut off their hands together, this kind of scene feels terrifying when you think about it, what kind of oppression did they have by the Black Dragon King, so they can make such a determination to cut off their hands and sacrifice.

The old cat thought for a while, and then said: "It is not necessarily all aborigines, but the aborigines worship black, and they are very likely to kill the fishermen and explorers on the island, and then cut off their hands and dye them black, but these hand bones cannot be fake, because the previous people did not have that kind of technology, so even if these hand bones are not aborigines, they are also human, remember the place where we met before, the giant pit of sunken corpses, where there are not only thousands of corpses, but also tens of thousands of corpses, I can't make these hand bones those people." ”

Thousands of lives have become ornaments, I don't dare to imagine, from this point of view, these aborigines are also quite cruel, compared with the Black Dragon King, the degree of crime is not much worse, in the end, they will be slaughtered by the Black Dragon King, but also self-inflicted, when the sacrifice summons the sea god, it is precisely because of their clan to commit such a heinous crime, so the sea god will let them also cut off their hands before they are willing to come out to deal with the black dragon king.

Now is not the time to lament the history of Dragon King Island, the old cat continued: "The bones can speak, from the previous murals we have learned that the sea god is a higher status than their dragon god, you see, this corpse is sitting firmly cross-legged on its legs, which means that it was sitting here when it died, where is this?" The temple of the god of the sea, it was able to die in front of the statue of the god of the sea, and it was the only one who showed that this person had a very high status at that time, so that it could be allowed to stay with the statue of the god of the sea when it died. ”

The man himself doesn't have any clues worthy of our excitement, but the position of its two arms without hands is indeed a little strange, one arm is on the chest, and the other is stretched forward, as if asking for something, could it be that he is asking for something from the sea god? I think, this is unlikely, the sea god is a high-ranking existence, how can there be a commitment to such a lowly and brutal human being, or it may be a unique action of the aborigines, after all, some actions of each nation have different meanings.

I have to admire the old cat, you can see so many things from the appearance of the bones, after seeing the appearance of the bones, the old cat began to turn over the broken clothes on the bones, the pockets of the clothes of the ancients are in the sleeves or chest, the old cat quietly picked up the clothes, and then reached out and touched the sleeves, the left one did not, and also reached into the right sleeve and touched, still did not find anything, and finally had to open the clothes of the "high priest", and found that there was a piece of animal skin in the pocket of the bones.

We were overjoyed and hurriedly asked what was written on the skin, and the old cat opened the skin, and then said: "You see, this is a picture similar to a map, a line is bifurcated and divided into two lines, the back of one line is very recognizable, it is a dragon, and the circle at the end of the other line should be a treasure, which is used to guide the way." ”

Here, You Eighteen interjected: "These two lines can't be the two side doors next to this temple, right? ”

The old cat nodded in affirmation: "Very likely." ”

I shook my head, always feeling that something was wrong, and asked: "Have you found a problem, since this is a guideway, why has no one taken it for hundreds of years, there is another possibility, the color of this animal skin is not black, but similar to the fur on the body of a cow and pig, could it be that someone later put it in." ”

My statement is also very likely, the two of them nodded in agreement, and then the old cat turned over the bones again, in the end there is only such a clue, now, we have a problem, two doors and two roads, originally we will blindly choose one, but now this animal skin appears, suddenly we can not choose, from ancient times to the present, the choice question is still the most difficult topic for human beings, so, which one should we take?
