Chapter 41: The Throne
"I seem to hear human voices, you didn't tell me there was still a fight to fight before!" Xia Beifeng turned his head in shock and looked at the two people behind him: "You guys are cheating, my fragile heart has been hurt." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Anyone?" Shen Qingge asked suspiciously: "Where is there anyone?" ”
"No one." Ye Baiyu also shook his head quickly: "Xiaobei, you heard it wrong. ”
Xia Beifeng looked at the two "young" elders in front of him with suspicion, and there were only three big words in his mind - impossible.
The two of them are definitely working together to deceive me, and it doesn't have to be something after a while.
It's not surprising that he has such an idea, but it is actually the result of his experience of being pitted too much over the years.
"Not really." Ye Baiyu stretched out his hand and knocked on the stone wall, listening to the crisp sound, he was also very confused: "Are you hallucinating?" ”
Xia Beifeng put his ear to the wall again and listened carefully for a while.
The life that had just been boiling has disappeared!
Only the sound of water came from the other side of the wall, which seemed quiet and lonely.
He glanced up at the sparrow, still not convinced.
The sparrow shook his head slightly.
"Even if it weren't." Xia Beifeng shrugged helplessly, pointed to the corner in front of him and said, "Turn around and you'll be there, right, don't fool me anymore." ”
"How could it be!" Ye Baiyu smiled and stretched out his hand to push him, urging: "You hurry up, I was supposed to let you listen to it, and you still made such a play, delaying the time for becoming a teacher!" ”
"That's it, why would the two of us lie to you for such a thing." Shen Qingge also echoed impatiently: "You don't want to think about it, your master and I are here, even if there is a fight to fight, it won't be your turn." ”
It seems to be too.
Xia Beifeng accepted this statement, and turned the corner of the corner behind Shen Qingge: "But I really heard the sound just now, what is going on." ”
"It's not that I don't believe you, but there's no way there's no way there's a voice in this place." Ye Baiyu also followed the two of them around the corner, stretched out his hand to point at something, and shouted excitedly: "See, Witch God Throne!" Don't get close to the ghosts! It's a ghost! ”
The place where they were was a wide hall, the size of a football field, and Ye Baiyu's voice echoed in the empty hall, bringing a glimpse of echo.
The floor tiles under his feet changed from black to black and red. There are not many red floor tiles, and it seems that there is some pattern dotted in the black floor tiles, posing for an unknown pattern.
The top of the head is still a high vault, but it is full of large and small gems, and in the center is a huge night pearl, like a bright moon hanging high.
Countless gems reflected the light of the Night Pearl, refracting and enlarging the light that was not too bright repeatedly, illuminating the entire stone chamber.
It's like a sky full of stars guarding the moon.
"Tut-tut......" Xia Beifeng shook his head with emotion: "Primitive society is good, such a big stroke!" ”
The gem on the top of the head only needs to be slightly discerned, and you can see that it is a former star map.
A few relatively large gems can be called by Xia Beifeng at once, and other small stones can even be remembered a lot.
"It's been around for thousands of years." Xia Beifeng squinted his eyes and studied the star map above his head, not quite sure of his judgment: "Looking at the position of the stars at that time, there are seven thousand years?" ”
"Shhhh Ye Baiyu stretched out his hand and pressed it on his lips: "If you like to dig the root too much, it is easy to have an accident." ”
Xia Beifeng raised his eyebrows and shifted his gaze to other places.
They were not standing in the center of the stone chamber at this time, but in the upper right corner of it. Beside them, there is a row of wide, towering staircases.
As for the "Witch God Throne" that Ye Baiyu said before, it was at the top of the ladder, standing alone.
Because it was too far away, Xia Beifeng didn't see clearly what kind of carved patterns were on the throne, but he quickly completed the things that could not be seen clearly on the throne in his heart.
At the top of the backrest is a cluster of flames, on either side of the armrests are two anaconstrictors with their fangs exposed, and the base below is in the shape of a wolf pack.
This "Throne of the Witch God" is painted on every mural he saw on the way here. After watching this way, he was already familiar with it, and he could tell its shape with his eyes closed.
At the time of the sacrifice, there was only one person wearing a mask...... It should be the so-called "witch god", sitting on that throne. The stairs are lined with offerings, and in the center is a space for people to walk. The three tiers of stairs are filled with melons and fruits and plants at the bottom, domestic animals and beasts in the middle, and sometimes empty above, sometimes full of living people kneeling.
Those who came to participate in the sacrifice knelt where they now stand. With their foreheads on the ground, they stripped off their shirts, revealing their bare backs, letting the sun scorch their skin.
There was a meandering stream of water in the middle of the crowd, starting from the vacant place in the middle of the stairs and flowing to the end of the crowd.
Thinking of this, he took his eyes off the "Witch King's Throne" and looked in the direction of the river.
"Uh......" he looked slightly embarrassed: "If you guessed correctly, that's what you said about Wuxi." What happened and what happened? ”
The "Wuxi Creek", which does not look narrow on the mural, is now left with a deep ravine. It's not that there's no water in it, it's just ......
"We have more water coming out of the taps than we do."
Xia Beifeng said firmly.
"I don't know, how did you do it so fast?" Ye Baiyu also looked surprised, he turned his head and asked Shen Qingge for advice: "I remember that there was quite a lot of water when we came last time, right?" ”
"Because the Witch King is gone." Shen Qingge said lightly: "This thing has been supported by the Witch King since ancient times, if the Witch King is strong, there will be more water, if the Witch King is weak, there will be less water, and if the Witch King is not qualified, the flow will be cut off." It should be said that the witch king is no longer in 20 years, and it is a real miracle that it still has water. ”
"Wait......" Xia Beifeng stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture between Ye Baiyu and Shen Qingge: "What have you all been talking about since just now?" I know this isn't an ancient tomb anymore, but what kind of thing are you talking about? What about the ghost king? ”
Although there is no difference between monsters and ghosts, I still feel a little emotionally deceived when I say this!
I thought I could see a thousand-year-old ghost, but you mean there's always been an old monster here, and he wasn't there until twenty years ago?
"The witch king is the witch king, and the witch god also refers to the witch king, if you want to translate it, it is...... The witch king is the spokesperson of the witch god in the world, exercising the rights of the witch god, enjoying the treatment of the witch god, and also fulfilling the obligations of the witch god, which is very easy to understand. As for the ghost king......" Ye Baiyu quickly finished this paragraph, turned his head and glanced at Shen Qingge in surprise: "The ghost king is casually spread by the local people, I never said that this is the tomb of the ghost king, who is talking nonsense in front of you, you ask who to go!" ”
"I just think it's too cumbersome to explain, don't pay too much attention to these details." Shen Qingge spread his hands, pointed to the "Wuxi", and said loudly: "Xiaobei, go up!" It's up to you to save the world! ”
"Huh? What the? Xia Beifeng stumbled and was pushed forward by her and took a few steps.
The "creek" was still far away from him.
Out of nowhere, a cool breeze came out, swirling around him, and wandered around for a long time before leaving.
He looked back at the two men behind him.
"Why me?" He pointed to the ditch, and then pointed to Ye Baiyu: "It's you who are looking for something." ”
"That thing is a bit of a problem, and I only found out about it when I came here this time." Ye Baiyu looked at the "stars" in the sky, and said with a dry smile: "A living person can only watch it once in a lifetime, although my situation is relatively special, but I still haven't left the category of 'living person', so I ......"
He spread his hands and said helplessly: "Sparrows and light songs are not good, I have seen it once before, so I can only rely on you." ”
Xia Beifeng: "......"
Ye Baiyu looked at him sincerely and blinked.
"This is a matter of life and death related to the country's society, and it is a great task from heaven ......"
"Alright, shut up." Xia Beifeng waved his hand at him decisively, stopping his next tirade: "I'm going to the head office, what should I do?" ”
Anyway, it's just a bunch of nonsense, so don't listen to it.
"You walk over there, put your hand in the water, and that's it." Ye Baiyu took two steps back and waved his hand twice. shouted at him: "Be careful, calm down, don't be afraid." Remember you're looking for a book...... A ...... Well...... Ahem...... When you see it, you know it's a book of books. ”
Shen Qingge didn't speak, and followed Ye Baiyu back a little, looking at him a little nervously.
It looks like he's getting more and more cheating.
Xia Beifeng sighed helplessly and looked up at the birds overhead.
"You're not leaving?"
"I'm with you." The sparrow circled around him twice and landed on his shoulder: "It's okay, I'm different from the two of them, I'm not afraid." ”
Xia Beifeng was instantly moved.
"Sure enough, it's you who is with me at this time!"
"No, don't get me wrong." Sparrow said indifferently: "I'm not afraid because I can fly." ”
"Oh."
Xia Beifeng came to the ditch with the mood of seeing death as home, looking at the stream flowing below.
When you look at it from a distance, this so-called "Wuxi Creek" is not too deep, and when you really come to its side, you will find out that it is actually ...... It's pretty deep.
"It's going to be three meters deep." Xia Beifeng squatted at the water's edge and looked back at the stone bricks above his head: "They used to call this a stream?" ”
"You have so many questions!" The sparrow said impatiently: "The blood drip in, see if there is any reaction, if there is no reaction, go back and think of other ways." ”
"I've never heard of bloodletting before!" Xia Beifeng complained while feeling out the knife: "Didn't you say that you just need to touch it?" ”
"Lied to you, you might not want to come if you said bloodletting."
"Tell me now and I'm sure I'm willing?"
"It's all coming......"
"That's right."
Xia Beifeng made a small cut on his hand in frustration, squeezed out a few drops of blood, and dripped them under his feet.
The water was so thin that even if it was so close, there were still two or three drops of blood dripping into the mud on the side, and he felt distressed when he saw it.
That's my blood!
The blood quickly melted into the water, and the small stream of water still flowed quietly, without any change.
"No response, what should I do?" He turned his head to look at the sparrow on his shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Are you going back?" ”
"Wait a little longer." The sparrow turned his head and glanced at the altar and the shrine on the high place: "Wait five minutes, and then we'll go back." ”
"What if you go back? That's it? Xia Beifeng frowned, a little confused: "Why do I think Master attaches great importance to this thing, so he went back so casually?" ”
"No, go back and find a virgin......" The sparrow paused before saying slowly, "Kill her here." ”
Xia Beifeng: "......"
"I don't think it's acceptable, and we don't want to do it if we can." The sparrow looked at him with burning eyes, and there was a hint of encouragement in his dark eyes: "So come on, Xiaobei, a young girl's life is in your hands." ”
"Even if you say that, I don't know how to refuel!" He looked down at the blood that had seeped into the dirt under his feet, and sighed: "I don't even know how it works, what will happen in a while." And if the virgin is to be killed, then I will not die. ”
"In principle, it's about the same as that DNA or something. The water here will automatically match the gene pool to detect if you are related to the Witch King. If the match is successful, you won't have any problems at all, and if the match is unsuccessful, you won't have any problems, it's someone else who dies. ”
"No, no, no, wait." Xia Beifeng was shocked by her words, broke out in a cold sweat, stood up suddenly, and looked at the throne in the distance: "Are there any important things you haven't told me, why did I suddenly have such an incredible setting as the descendant of ancient myths, and the author didn't tell me before!" What about the director, what about the screenwriter, I want to apply for a remake! ”
"Calm down, how can there be such a great setting." The sparrow flapped its wings and flew into the air: "You must know that there were only a few tribes in that era, and almost all the people now are their descendants. Genetic technology here is also not as advanced, and we estimate that the success rate of a match is almost 1 in 5...... Don't think of yourself as too important. ”
"Oh, that's it!" Xia Beifeng breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at her: "Why did you fly up." ”
"Because...... Here it comes. ”
The words in the middle of these words sounded vague, but they gave Xia Beifeng a huge sense of crisis.
"What's coming?"
His eyes widened sharply, and he asked Sparrow, then glanced back at the empty "Throne of the Witch God" at her attempt.
"Hehe, remember to hold your breath." The sparrow glanced down at him, flapped his wings a few times, and flew in the direction of the two people standing in the corner: "Treasure and cherish, so do it yourself, Xiaobei!" ”
Xia Beifeng looked at the bird that was flying farther and farther away, and began to think about whether it was too late to climb up and escape.
There was a faint sound of "boom" in the distance.
At first glance, it sounds a bit like thunder, but Xia Beifeng, who is standing in the river, thinks of something else.
"I remember the last time I heard this, I was still in the army, well, that flood fight."
He turned his gaze to the high throne, a look of despair in his eyes.
A large amount of clear water gushed out from under the altar, rushing towards him in the direction of the river.
