Chapter 15: Human Sacrifice
Facing the closure of the stone door, I felt very unhappy, after all, the first time I came to such a mysterious cave, the door is always open than closed in my heart is more comfortable, looking at the closed stone door, I seem to feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, my intuition seems to tell me that something is going to happen, A-Ning looked at my depressed appearance and said to me: "Brother Xiaojiang, you don't have to be depressed, don't we still have Lao Wutou, he has been here."

After Ah Ning finished speaking, he pointed to the old Wu Tou next to him, and the old Wu Tou kept laughing, I felt that the old Wu Tou was laughing at me, I glared at the old Wu Tou and said, "Old Wu Tou, what are you laughing at, what's so funny." ā
Old Wu Tou hurriedly suppressed his smile and said, "It's nothing, I just feel uncomfortable when you are locked underground for the first time?" ā
I shook my head and said, "I'm not scared because the stone door is closed, but I seem to vaguely feel danger approaching us when I see the stone door closed." ā
The fat man shuddered and said in fear: "Big brother, don't scare us. ā
I looked at Lao Wu Tou and said, "Old Wu Tou, haven't we seen the zombies you encountered that time?" I feel like they're waiting for us nearby. ā
When Qiangzi heard this, he grabbed Lao Wutou's arm and said, "Master, why am I a little scared, it is true, we didn't meet the dried corpses after we came in, where have they gone, have these dried corpses disappeared in the past few years?" ā
The smile on the face of the old Wu Tou disappeared at this time, and then there was indeed a look of fear, looking at the appearance of the old Wu Tou, I was secretly happy in my heart, let you laugh at me, I don't believe that you are not afraid.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look at these palaces. Now that you're here, can you just stand outside? Maybe there's a lot of treasure in there. With that, I began to walk towards the first hall. When we walked to the entrance of the main hall, everyone couldn't help but look at the main hall in front of us.
The fat man raised his head and looked at the main hall and said, "When was this hall built?" ā
"I see, this hall should be from the Qin Dynasty," Old Wu Tou said as he stroked the wall tiles.
The fat man looked at the old Wu Tou with disdain and snorted and said, "Old Wu Tou, don't talk nonsense, how do you know that this is the Qin Dynasty era?" ā
"Look at it, isn't this a Qin brick? I can often see in the Qin tombs that I have entered in the past, as the saying goes, Qin bricks and Han tiles, and the bricks of the Qin Dynasty are not the same as those of other periods. Old Wu Tou pretended to be deep and said.
I looked at the main hall, and didn't say anything, because I can't see when this place was built, look at the old Wu Tou said that it seems to be the Qin Dynasty, but look at the lacquer on the main hall, it seems to be similar to the lacquerware unearthed in the Han Dynasty, and then look at the painting outside the hall, it seems that there is a feeling of the Jin Dynasty, what age is the building here, I am really a little confused.
I turned my head and asked A-Ning, "A-Ning, what age do you see what age this is?" ā
A-Ning also shook his head, and then said, "To be honest, I don't see when this is the building. ā
The fat man said to us: "Okay, okay, we're not here for archaeology, I see, let's go in and see if there are any treasures." After the fat man finished speaking, he kicked open the temple door, only to hear the temple door squeak open.
With the opening of the temple door, the fat man took the lead and walked in, Yang Zhi took out the Tang knife and followed the fat man in, watching the two of them walk in, and a few of us also walked into the main hall.
However, when we entered the main hall, we did not see any treasures, but we did see a coffin, and in front of the coffin were some sacrificial utensils. And the walls of the main hall are painted with murals that we don't understand.
Old Wu Tou looked at the coffin, spat at the foam, and said, "Why don't there be any bronzes here, I remember the last time I came, the room was full of bronzes." ā
The fat man walked to the side of the coffin, touched the coffin with his hand and said, "Whatever, maybe different palaces have different things, I think, I'd better open this coffin first." ā
After saying that, the fat man took out the pickaxe from the duffel bag behind his back and used it hard, and the end of the pickaxe was inserted into the gap in the coffin cover.
"Fatty, don't." I shouted to the fat man, but it was too late, and the fat man opened the coffin lid with all his might.
At the moment when the cover fell to the ground, I saw a puff of green smoke coming out of the coffin, and then it seemed that an ancient woman wearing a white gauze appeared in front of our eyes, the fat man looked at the scene in front of him suspiciously, and stretched out his hand to touch the woman, but when the fat man's hand did not touch the woman, and then the image of the woman turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew into the mural on the wall, and never disappeared again, and the fat man rolled his eyes and fell next to the coffin.
"Not good." While everyone was stunned as they watched everything that happened in front of them, Yang Zhi, who had been silent on the sidelines, shouted.
At this moment, the coffin shook violently, and as the coffin shook, there was a whining sound in the coffin, and then with a bang, another coffin lid flew out and fell to the ground.
Yang Zhi picked up the Tang knife and flew to the coffin, when Yang Zhi stood on the coffin, he saw a person suddenly sitting up in the coffin, Yang Zhi raised the Tang knife and inserted it directly from the person's head, and then after a sneering sound, the person turned into crumbs and fell into the coffin, leaving behind a burst of black smoke.
Old Wu Tou shouted: "Oh, my mother." Hadron let's get out of here. ā
After saying that, Lao Wu Tou was about to run out, I saw that Lao Wu Tou was about to run, grabbed him and said: "Don't run around, here, several of us can only save our lives together, and getting away without permission can only increase the risk." ā
When Lao Wu Tou heard my words, he stopped, and I asked Lao Wu Tou, "Old Wu Tou, did you see this situation last time you came?" ā
Lao Wu Tou shook his head again and again and said no, looking at Lao Wu Tou's frightened appearance, and then looking at the bursts of black smoke on the coffin, I seemed to think of some things that Puhui Lao Dao once told me about the rebirth of corpses.
Old Wu Tou looked at me and asked, "I haven't seen it, do you know?" ā
I looked at the coffin and said: "Once my master Puhui Taoist once said that any place has its own feng shui, these feng shui often maintain a certain degree of stability, just like the cemetery, the underground palace of the cemetery is often no one to enter, feng shui can be well preserved, especially in places with good feng shui, people's corpses can be preserved for a long time, but if the feng shui is disrupted, then there will be two situations, one is that the corpse will be weathered, and the other is a more terrifying saying, that is, once the feng shui is destroyed, It will alarm the soul of the deceased, and the soul of the deceased will control the corpse to vent its anger. ā
"Then you mean that the soul that was a corpse just now was expressing its emotions to us?" Hadron said in horror.
I nodded, and slowly walked over to the coffin to take a look, and by this time it had become a mess and I couldn't see anything.
Old Wu Tou circled around the coffin and said, "I've heard of it in the past, but we commonly call this phenomenon corpse fraud, hey." ā
Ah Ning looked at Yang Zhi standing on the coffin and asked suspiciously, "Then why did the corpse sit up, but after being stabbed by Yang Zhi, it turned into crumbs?" ā
I scratched my head and smiled and said, "My master didn't tell me this, it should be the destruction of the corpse, so there is no ability to continue to act, if this guy really comes out, I think we will be in trouble today." ā
Although I said it, I didn't know how to explain what was happening in front of me, maybe people really have souls.
A-Ning nodded, I looked at the fat man on the ground, then kicked him and said, "Fat man, okay, get up." ā
After saying that, I kicked him again, but the fat man still didn't react, I glanced at Yang Zhi, motioned him to drag the fat man aside, and Yang Zhi jumped off the coffin and pulled the fat man to the front of the temple like a dead pig.
"Brother Xiaojiang, look at the murals on the wall." Aning pointed to the mural and shouted.
I heard what Aning said and turned my head to look at the mural. I saw that the mural on the wall was no longer static, but became like a movie.
As the image on the wall evolved, I seemed to see an ancient woman carried to the main hall by the crowd, and they respectfully dressed the woman in white veil, and then put her in the coffin, but when they put the woman in the coffin, the woman seemed to be still struggling, and then a group of people sealed the coffin, and then everyone performed sacrifices in the main hall, after the sacrifice they withdrew from the main hall and closed the door of the main hall.
Could it be that I couldn't help but stare at the coffin, could it be that the woman in it is the woman in the painting, why was that woman carried into the coffin alive, why is this? I turned my head again to look at the mural on the wall, but the mural moved and finally disappeared suddenly.
A-Ning looked at the wall that had turned into a blank and said, "It's amazing, how did this happen, is it my delusion." ā
"I seem to have seen a cruel ancient ritual, human sacrifice." I said.
Old Wu Tou walked to the wall and touched the front with his hand, and then said in surprise: "Are you saying that this image is the scene of ancient human sacrifice, and that woman is the sacrifice of human sacrifice?" ā
I nodded in response to the old man, who shook his head with a sigh, as if he felt sorry for the woman in the coffin who had turned into crumbs.
"Fat people aren't scared to death." Hadron said to the fat man on the ground.
At this time, I reacted, the fat man was still lying on the ground, I walked to the fat man, squatted on the ground and slapped the fat man a few times with my hand, but the fat man did not move.
I looked at the fat man on the ground and said, "What can I do, what's wrong with the fat man." ā
A-Ning walked over and touched the fat man's pulse with his hand, and then said, "It doesn't matter, there is still salvation." ā
After speaking, A-Ning stood up and walked over to the coffin, looked around the coffin, and finally seemed to find something in the coffin, and then called happily: "Found it." ā
After saying that, A-Ning put his hand into the coffin, and then took out a bunch of dried grass from it, then took out a cup, crushed the dead grass, sprinkled it into the water, shook it vigorously, and then walked towards us.
"Help me lift the fat man up," A-Ning said to us, and I helped the fat man up with Qiangzi, and after the fat man was helped up, A-Ning pried open the fat man's mouth, and was about to pour water mixed with grass blades into the fat man's mouth.
I looked at the water in Aning's cup and felt very disgusted, and then said, "A-Ning, what is this, can people drink this thing?" ā
