Chapter 41: True and False Daoists
Just as I was hesitating, the Taoist Master who was crawling beside me suddenly asked me in a deep voice, "Do you think this is a sacred tree in Taoism?" ”
When I heard this, my eyes stared at the boss leader, and I didn't understand the meaning of his words. Immediately frowned: "I thought so at first, but after climbing this bronze tree, I was shaken. I guess it's more than just an immortal tree, right? ”
"This is not a sacred tree in Taoism at all!" The boss shook his head, then raised his eyebrows, and said in a surprising voice: "This is a paulownia tree used for sacrifices." ”
"Sacrifice?" After hearing this, I felt a little stunned.
The boss Taoist frowned and said, "Actually, it is not called a tree, but a sacrificial tool. ”
When I heard this, my whole heart was shocked. I think that the sacred tree in Taoism represents auspiciousness, and this tree does not look like an immortal tree whether it is viewed horizontally or vertically. The smell of blood is so strong, it was originally used for sacrifice.
"Isn't this a tree?" My eyes widened and my mouth was wide open, and I was amazed. No matter how I look at it, it looks like a tree. However, the boss Taoist said, this is a sacrificial tool, I thought about it, and I felt that it was really far-fetched if it was a bronze tree.
At least the Immortal Tree wouldn't be so evil.
However, I still couldn't accept it for a while, and I couldn't help frowning and asked, "Daoist, how do you know?" ”
When the boss heard my words, he directly said in a deep voice: "It has been recorded in the classics left by my ancestors. And you see, this groove on every section of this tree ......"
As he spoke, the boss turned on the flashlight, and then reached out and moved the flashlight to the groove of the bronze tree.
I looked at the light and found that the groove was actually very confused before, what did it do?
I really can't think of any use for the grooves in the bronze tree.
The boss knew that it was impossible for me to know when he saw the expression on my face, so he didn't show any expression.
Instead, he settled down and explained to me, "This groove is very useful on the whole bronze column......
The boss said that it was not a bronze tree, so he called this "behemoth" a bronze pillar.
"This groove is like a central nervous system in the bronze column." The boss Taoist said with certainty: "Do you say it has a big effect? ”
As soon as I heard it, I secretly said in my heart, you fucking have a central nervous system? Still not in your mouth?
But since it's all said to be so important, what exactly is this groove for?
The boss couldn't help but chuckle when he looked at the puzzled expression on my face, and then asked me rhetorically: "Later life, you put your nose close to ...... smell!" ”
Sniff? Although I was very puzzled, I still put my nose close to it. When he heard this, his whole face suddenly changed. It's all too familiar to me, it's blood.
And the smell of blood was very strong, and I put my whole body to my nose and smelled it, and my stomach suddenly felt sick to my stomach for a while. The smell was so strong, the fuck was going to make me faint.
At this time, I was secretly thinking to myself, how much blood do I want with such a strong and exciting smell of blood?
"Smell it?"
The boss elder actually smiled slyly at me.
I couldn't laugh at it, and asked with a bitter face, "This immortal country is so evil?" How many lives will be ruined if such a large thing comes out? ”
"In the eyes of the undead, sacrifice is a very heavy ritual, and all this blood is human blood......," the boss Taoist said, "and these grooves are like pipes, and the blood is left from the top of the bronze pillar, and through these grooves, it slowly slides down to the bottom." ”
As soon as I heard it, I secretly scolded his mother's feelings, and this groove was a tool to kill their lives? Also to blame.
"How many lives did this kill?" I looked at the grooves on the bronze pillar with a pale face, and I felt very uncomfortable. You must know that in our era of peace, if you dare to kill your life, then you have to wait to eat guns.
The boss shook his head and said, "Don't talk about us, I'm afraid the person in charge didn't know at that time." ”
In ancient times, in some countries, sacrifice is a very heavy thing, just like our Central Plains emperor to go to the three mountains and five mountains to worship the mountain gods, it is said that every mountain has a heavenly official, only worship them, then your throne can be regarded as justifiable, because in ancient times, the name is not right, this is to be poked in the backbone.
And only after worshipping the mountain god does it symbolize the Dingding Central Plains, which is actually a kind of sacrificial ritual for sealing Zen.
The sacrifice with this bronze pillar also makes some sense, but the sacrifice of human blood is a bit vicious.
However, there is one thing I don't understand, that is, since so many people in the Immortal Country have drunk the Immortal Holy Spring, where did they come from so many people for sacrifice? According to the Taoist chief, the immortal kingdom is a small country, and the people do not flourish, so that they decay more and more until they are wiped out.
However, the boss leader gave me a surprising answer, and that was to use the blood of slaves. You must know that Qin was a slave society before the Qin Dynasty, and it was only after the Qin Dynasty swept away the Six Kingdoms and unified China that it changed from a slave society to a feudal society, but the remnants of the defeat were slaves or simply captives.
These captives are naturally assigned to work, such as mining or something, and in the undead country, these prisoners of the defeated country are naturally taken for sacrifice.
The living captives were pushed up to the top of the bronze pillar, and the undead people stuffed these captives into the groove at the top of the bronze pillar, cut a hole in the captive's body, and let the blood run down and dry up in the middle......
These are what the boss Taoist told me, and my whole chest was dull after listening to it. As a modern person, I still have a lot of compassion for such a tragic death.
Just the thought of how many people have died on this bronze pillar makes my body feel a chill.
However, the boss urged me to climb up quickly, otherwise the fat man would have taken all the ancient coins. As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but sigh, and I was secretly surprised in my heart, when did this Taoist chief become so rich like a fat man?
Could it be that the habit of fat money fans will not be contagious?
But to be honest, the fat man is still very unreliable sometimes, especially after I heard the Taoist chief tell me about this sacrificial bronze pillar, I feel that this thing is absolutely evil, maybe there is something unclean.
I'm afraid that the fat man will cause some trouble, not that I'm worried, but I'm worried that he will cause trouble and involve us in it, which is really a big trouble!
According to the Taoist chief, this bronze tree tree is indeed eighteen verses. After climbing for a while, I guessed I was almost close to the top.
And I found that the branches of the surrounding bronze pillars were covered with dense ancient coins, and when I shone them with a flashlight, these things were shining with gold and dazzling, like gold.
I was immediately fascinated by these glittering things, which were really pleasing to the eye.
At this time, the Taoist chief on the side actually squeezed his eyebrows at me and said, "Housheng, hurry up and get a few ancient coins down." ”
When I heard it, I was immediately confused, what is the situation? No matter how I look at it, I shouldn't be like a fat man, with a face full of money.
At this time, the boss Taoist saw that I had not heard of it, and was still unmoved, so he immediately became a little annoyed and scolded me: "Didn't you hear? I told you to hurry up and get it! ”
This scolding was like a slap in the face, which made my whole body startled. Even my body shuddered.
I looked at the Taoist chief and found that he seemed so strange at this moment, as if the person in front of me was not the Taoist chief, but another person.
You must know that from Hangzhou to Yongxing Island and then to the submarine tomb, all the way over, I have never seen the Taoist like this.
I turned my head to look at the Taoist, and when my eyes glanced at the Taoist's chest, my whole face suddenly changed in shock.
"You're not a Taoist ......!" (To be continued.) )
