Chapter 21: Sacrificing the Female Ghost of the Land
Judging from the frescoes, the entire pit is pentagonal.
The female corpses were divided into five groups and bowed in five directions.
"It turns out that from above, these female corpses actually knelt down in five directions."
I was a little confused, because we did feel that no matter which way we looked, these female corpses had been bowing down to us.
Is it a hallucination? It's really unexplainable.
I continued to scroll down through the photographs, and the mural below recorded in detail the process of concocting the corpse of the woman, as well as the scene of singing the praises of King Su Shen.
It's just that I'm a little puzzled by the fact that the King of Tranquility, who is wearing a divine robe and a mask, looks so tall that he doesn't look like a human.
Is this a technique of the mural painter? In order to highlight the majesty of the King of Caution?
But this is also too outrageous, and the attendants standing around King Su Shen are too small.
If it were according to the normal proportions, then the King of Su Shen would have to be at least more than three meters tall!
According to historical records, the history of the ancient country of Sushen is extremely long, and the civilization of the tribal groups is on par with that of China, and the tribal leaders of such a huge ethnic group must be as great as the tribal leaders such as the Yellow Emperor Chiyou, but the strange thing is that there is no record of this leader in the historical classics.
Could it be that this cautious leader, as depicted in the mural painting, is a god-king of the five directions?
I continued to scroll down at the photo, and the content in the photo was roughly the same as what Qian Nose said, followed by the female corpse covered with black hair like a rice dumpling, and a ghost-headed mosquito that had been flattened.
I zoomed in on the photo of the ghost-headed mosquito and found that there were many multicolored spots on the mosquito's body that were not easy to see, and the mosquito's head was not usually black, but blinking red, with a lot of black-brown fine hairs growing on it, which looked particularly disgusting.
This is the last photo here, and I naturally know everything about what happened next, but there is no clue about the origin of this skeletal bird's head.
According to the records on the mural, the Wufang Divine Bird should be a huge bird of prey, but the skull in my hand is not even as large as a pigeon, and it does not look like the volume of the mythical bird on the mural.
If it weren't for the particularly prominent sharp fangs and the skeletal structure that resembles a human head, I probably wouldn't have thought of the legendary existence of the Wufang Divine Bird.
"What are you looking at?" Tie He took the last rubbing, left it on the ground, walked up to me and asked.
I quietly pinched the bird's skull, handed over the card camera, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I looked at the photo of Qian Nose, I studied it." ”
"See what's wrong?" Tie He didn't answer the camera, but squatted next to the smokeless stove to make a fire.
I shook it and said I didn't see it, although Tiehe was good to me, but after all, we were in different camps, and I didn't know him either.
Moreover, what I am researching now is still in the stage of speculation, and there is no substantive effect in saying it.
Tie He smiled and said, "Let's sleep a little longer!" Don't put too much pressure on yourself. ”
I was a little embarrassed: "Or? I'll keep a shift! You and your brothers are tired too, and I've slept almost enough. ”
"Then Nacheng, our group of people are used to it, don't worry about going to sleep!" Tie He smiled and patted me on the shoulder to show his appreciation.
I had a nightmare, and now I feel so much pain in my body, and I don't know what's going on, but I really feel like I'm surprisingly refreshed.
Seeing that I refused to sleep, Tie He was not polite, and after beckoning the two men to go to sleep, he sat down by the smokeless stove and handed me a cigarette.
I went to the side of Tiehe, looking at Xia Jiujiu who was sleeping not far away, and I couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
"What? Your girlfriend? Tie He gently bumped me on the shoulder.
"It's not." My face was a little hot from the smokeless oven.
"How did you two meet?" Tie He took a drag on his cigarette and asked casually.
I pinched the butt of my cigarette and was just about to smoke it, when Tie He suddenly stretched out his hand and asked for the cigarette back.
I was a little puzzled, but I gave him the cigarette anyway, and he took a small green bottle out of his pocket and shook it in front of my eyes.
Then he unscrewed it and dripped a little bit on my cigarette butt and gave it back to me.
I was so frightened that I didn't know what was in the bottle, and I didn't know what to say about it.
"Look scares you! This is a refreshing oil, take a sip and try it. Tie He handed me the cool oil with the cigarette.
When I saw it, I was a little embarrassed to take a puff, and suddenly I felt a cool breeze rushing down my throat and into my brain.
"Ahem, ahem!" I coughed at the smell, but I felt a lot clearer in my head.
"How? I used to smoke like this when I was working the night shift, refreshing my nerves, and smoking mosquitoes. Tie He looked at me with a smile, obviously quite satisfied with the performance of my puff.
I took another puff, it was a little spicy, and I was about to cry, patted the back of my head and said, "It's good, but the taste is too big, and it feels like a southerner chewing betel nut and smoking." ”
Tie He stopped smiling, pinched the cigarette holder with both hands and took a hard breath: "When I was a soldier, our company commander said the same. ”
"Brother Tie, have you ever been a soldier?" I wondered.
"Well, a few years."
"Didn't you change jobs?"
"It's a turn, there is something going on at home, and I need a lot of money. Boss Xu gave a lot, so he came to do this. Let's not talk about that, let's talk about you. Tie He smiled at me reluctantly and continued to ask, "You haven't answered my question yet, how did you two meet?" ”
"Oh, my family has a little friendship with his family, and when I was in college, my city happened to have a cousin in her family, so I took her to do chores by the way. Afterward... Then it followed. "I can't go into too much detail, so I'll just briefly introduce it.
"So, you don't know a lot about this place, do you?" Tie He stepped on the cigarette butt and looked at me with blazing eyes.
I was stunned by his sudden sharp eyes, and quickly nodded.
Tie He sighed, and suddenly said to me in a much lower voice: "Xiaoliang, you are still young, and you are a college student, unlike us people. You are the same age as my brother, so I advise you to leave while everyone is asleep now. You have also seen how dangerous this underground palace is, more than 20 of us have come in, and there are only a few left so far, how dangerous it is that the road behind is not well maintained, you can't afford to sell your life with us. ”
I smiled bitterly in my heart, where can I go back! He probably didn't know it yet, if it weren't for the smell of this dragon oil to repel insects, we would have fed the ghost-headed mosquitoes by now.
When he saw that I didn't speak, he thought that I hadn't listened to his persuasion, and suddenly he was embarrassed and stopped talking.
Although I was a little aggrieved, I didn't want to break his idea of survival, so I didn't know what to say for a while.
Just when we were both smoking silently, Qian Nose on the side suddenly sat up, we thought he was going to release water, so we didn't pay much attention, and suddenly saw him walk next to us and fly up and kick at the smokeless stove.
His movements were extremely fast, and his body did not look at all like it was after losing too much blood.
Tiehe was much more well-trained, and directly stretched out his foot and kicked the smokeless stove out.
Qian didn't succeed in the blow to the nose, and suddenly let out a strange laugh of ghost crying wolf, his mouth almost reached the root of his ear, and he grabbed the iron pot next to the smokeless stove and slapped it at my head.
I was taken aback by the way he looked, because it wasn't the first time I'd seen him.
When Wang Cannon went crazy, he also had this expression on his face!
I couldn't dodge, and he slapped me on both arms, and suddenly my arms made a click, and my teeth were sore.
Qian nose hit me well, but he didn't give up, and raised the iron pot again to slap it on my head.
Just when I couldn't help but close my eyes, Qian Nose was suddenly kicked to the ground by Tie He's sweeping leg.
"Quick! I can't hold him down! Tie He pressed on Qian Nose's body, his neck was already bruised, and his face was red, obviously it was very difficult to press Qian Nose with both hands.
Just as I struggled to get up to help, suddenly the sound of an iron bullet breaking through the wind came out.
I subconsciously followed the voice. I saw a white figure standing in the bronze door at some point, and the shadow of the old man dragged by the light happened to overlap with the shadow of Qian Nose.
"It's the female ghost!!
