Chapter 11: The Altar
"That's amazing! Never seen it before! Liu Siye craned his neck, amazed.
We were all stunned by the scene in front of us, the Qin Dynasty could have such a process and technology, even modern people can hardly do it with scientific and technological means, this is completely the use of physical principles, even a little deviation will not appear such a phenomenon.
"There's definitely something good in the big lotus leaf in the middle, go over and take a look!" Liu Siye settled down, and walked to the middle with five consecutive hairs.
"Looks like it should be used for sacrifices, be careful." Lewd Zhao followed behind Liu Siye with a dog's leg in his hand, and leaned forward vigilantly.
We were all following behind, I was holding a gun in one hand and Linda in the other, and she was in much better shape than before, but her face was still pale.
After walking into some of them, I saw that the bronze pillar in the middle was indeed an altar, the diameter of the pillar itself was five meters away, and the lotus leaves on it were like a big bathtub.
There are steps below the bronze pillar, and you can follow the steps to the top and stand next to the lotus leaf. The gems on the lotus leaves were shining brightly, making people a little unable to open their eyes.
Fourth Master Liu strode up, and was suddenly caught by Lewd Zhao, "Fourth Master, all places of sacrifice are very strange, be careful." ”
"You still need to say it!" Liu Siye impatiently shook off the lewd Zhao and pulled his hand, turned around and walked up. Lewd Zhao was afraid that something would happen to him, so he hurriedly followed in two steps and one step, holding the dogleg knife tightly in his hand.
When the fourth master walked to the top of the altar, leaned over and looked inside, there was nothing, and the four of us also walked up slowly, and we all looked inside, there was nothing in it except for the carved leaf veins and the inlaid gems and water droplets.
Liu Siye was a little disappointed, but he suddenly thought of something, looked at the gems in the lotus leaf, threw the gun away, took the dog leg in Zhao's hand, and pried it up under one of the largest gems.
"These are good things, Xu Fu must be hiding these gems here!" He said as he stepped up the intensity of his hands.
The old buttocks also became excited after hearing this, "Yes, yes, it must be these things, hurry up and find a way to pry it off, don't be stunned!" With that, he himself began to smash the gems with the butt of his gun.
Shanzi helped me put Linda in place, let her sit down slowly, and we also joined the team to pry the gems, but the gems did not know how to insert them, and they did not move, it was too much effort.
"Don't make a sound, listen, what's the sound?" Lewd Zhao pricked up his ears, everyone was reminded by him, they all shut up, and the movements in their hands stopped.
There were indeed some sounds, like the sound of boiling water, "gurgling", right under our feet, right under the steps!
But after a while, the sound was gone, and it seemed to flow back into the ground.
"Don't be surprised, hurry up!" Liu Siye is impatient, it's no wonder that the "River Turning Dragon" and "Ocean Eagle" usually work in the water, if the action is a little slower, it is estimated that even their lives can be taken, which is like these "soil rats" and "pangolins", picking the soil little by little, doing some fine work.
Just as we were busy with our work, the voice came again, and it was much louder than before, and Shanzi and I stopped again, and Linda sat on the side and nervously raised the gun.
"Brother, hurry up! Get a few down and leave! The fourth master shouted while busy.
I only heard the sound surging up the ground, entering the bronze pillar, until it reached the bottom of the lotus leaf, but it stopped abruptly.
Liu Siye's hand paused slightly, and then he used his knife to cut at the junction of the jade lotus leaf and the gem.
At this time, the veins of the lotus leaf became darker, as if blood had flowed into a person's veins.
"Wait!" Lewd Zhao saw that the situation was not good, and quickly grabbed Liu Siye's waving arm.
We watched as the veins turned red, in stark contrast to the yellow-green of the leaves. After a while, red liquid slowly began to seep out from those dense leaf veins, and the whole thing was filled with a fishy smell, which was blood!!
The blood slowly flowed down the inner wall of the lotus leaf into the lowest end, and it accumulated more and more. The whole lotus leaf was almost full, but the blood continued to flow inside.
Except for the fourth master, we all stopped in fright and took a few steps off the platform. The fourth master was furious and said: "Silly you, it's the first time I've seen you!" Old buttocks, come and help! He put his hand into the blood, still picking at the gems on the inner wall of the lotus leaf.
The old buttocks were just about to turn around to help him, when a pair of bloody hands suddenly stretched out from the bloody water and hugged Liu Siye's head tightly!
The two hands pulled the fourth master's head into the blood, the fourth master supported the ruffles with both hands, his whole body arched, his feet were dead on the edge of the copper pillar, the situation was very critical!
The old buttocks just went up to help, and another pair of big hands stretched out in the blood, and they wanted to grab the old buttocks in the same posture, but fortunately he reacted quickly, and tilted his head back, although the bloody hand did not catch him, but he used too much force, and the whole person fell back from the steps and fell heavily to the ground.
We were so frightened that we didn't know how to save the fourth master, so Zhao picked up the knife and quickly leaned forward, but he didn't dare to make a move, for fear of hurting the fourth master.
At this time, a bloody and blurry human head suddenly appeared in the blood water, and the facial features could hardly be seen, and he opened his mouth and bit the head of the fourth master, Liu Siye pulled back violently, and the head bit empty, but it did not give up, and still wanted to continue to bite him!
Lewd Zhao saw the vacancy, and cut off one of the bloody hands in the past, and the knife rubbed the scalp of the fourth master and cut it down, with a slight deviation, the fourth master would die.
The fourth master took this opportunity to pull his head back from the other hand. The bloody human head began to squeak and scream, and a novice grew from the place where the hand was severed, and he wanted to catch the obscene Zhao, Shanzi stood up from behind him, raised his gun and hit, and with a "bang", the bloody hand and bloody head were broken, and Shanzi was splashed with blood.
Liu Siye rolled down from the platform, snorting and panting on the ground in fright, and Zhao was also shocked. At this time, the lotus leaf seemed to come to life, and it made a gurgling sound, and we hurriedly pulled the injured one and dragged it to the side.
I saw that the lotus leaf seemed to have life, it slowly retracted inside, as if a flower was about to close its petals, the gurgling sound slowly became smaller, the light it refracted slowly became weaker and weaker, and the whole dome became darker and darker. In the end, the lotus leaf wrapped the whole inside. Then there was a gurgling sound like boiling water, and the sound slowly descended from the inside of the lotus leaf down the bronze pillar, and finally went underground, and disappeared little by little.
