Chapter 105: Sacrifice (2)

At the top of the altar, because the line of sight is blocked, it is invisible, and a faint round yellow-brown thing is scattered on the edge of the altar, at first Cha Wenbin also saw this thing, he thought it was a stone, and he didn't take it to heart, but he was reminded by the wind and clouds, and at first glance, it does seem to be a person's skull.

Facing the steps that only emperors could walk in the past, slowly ascending, looking around, a tall incense burner was scattered with some human bones, the jade coffin was high above, and there was a stone dragon coiling and dragging the coffin up below.

After a brief count, I am afraid that there are no less than twenty corpses scattered at this scene, and I don't know if these people were sacrificed by barbaric martyrs and priests back then, and there is a very peculiar round handle above the coffin, and the color around it is slightly dark red. Feng Qiyun moved the handle slightly, and it felt that it could be loosened, and with a force, it was pulled up like a hot water bottle stopper, and a small round hole was exposed underneath.

The perimeter of this hole is concave downward, not a smooth and flat surface, through this hole, you can see a layer of liquid floating in the coffin, leaning down to smell it, Feng Qiyun said: "What a heavy fishy smell, is this hole used to inject blood, to nourish the corpse with blood?" ”

"Blood corpses?" Cha Wenbin frowned and carefully looked at the translucent jade coffin, and an oval artifact not far away caught his attention, and there was a small scoop in this thing, which was also mottled brown.

"Could it be that after these people were killed, they put their blood here, and then poured it into this coffin in turn, so after a long time, these blood stains have been soaked into the color left by the jade body?"

As we all know, one of the important bases for determining the division between slavery and feudalism in the archaeological community is the barbaric burial system. In the slave society, slaves and prisoners of war had no status, they would be used by the high-ranking nobles to participate in the funeral and priesthood, the ancients believed that blood was the best sacrifice to comfort the gods, and in some places also believed that people could use blood to preserve the corpse from decay after death, in order to achieve the purpose of "eternal life".

The fat man gently buckled the coffin with his hand, and the sound he made was crisp and clean, he said: "Could this be the coffin of a certain king of Qingqiu Country, since ancient times, the jade coffin can only be used at the level of the emperor, brothers, the coffin we found outside is lacquer, and this is a whole piece of jade when pulled out, which is worth the money of the old nose, Cha Ye, or I will open it and take a look?" ”

Cha Wenbin shook his head and said, "People have slept for thousands of years and have not harmed anyone, why are you going to open it?" We can't destroy all the things of the ancestors, just take away some irrelevant things, whether you can touch the corpse or don't touch it, throwing people's ancestral graves has always been to be spurned, let's go, or where to go. ”

With him to speak, the fat man naturally had to endure the itchy hands, Cha Wenbin decided not to be a tomb robber, he had to pay a difference, just get a few representative artifacts of Qingqiu Country, and he concluded that the jade ring would not be in it.

The fat man was still a little unwilling and asked, "What if the jade ring is inside?" ”

"Because judging from the murals, when the Yuhuan was delivered, it was obvious that the Qingqiu Kingdom was in the end of the country, and they could not have the time to build such a huge tomb, nor did they have the manpower and material resources to do this, so based on this alone, it can be determined that the burial time of this coffin was before the arrival of the Yuhuan. According to the custom of the ancients to seal the coffin into the earth, the possibility of reopening the coffin into a jade ring is also extremely low. Therefore, the ancestors lying here have nothing to do with what we want to do, since it has nothing to do, that is, it is better to have more than one thing and one thing less, go out for the time being, and return the same way. ”

Previously, their eyes were focused on the jade coffin, and they had no time to pay attention to what was going on behind it, and when they turned around, they realized that it seemed that they were going to be in trouble......

A row of huge lizards covered in mud and spitting blue cores in their mouths did not know when they had followed, and at first glance, they thought they were crocodiles. But the fat man who often watches TV knows that the crocodile is a cold-blooded animal, so naturally it is impossible to appear in the northeast at this high latitude, judging from its blue forked tongue and strong limbs, this must be some kind of lizard, a terrifying beast that they have never seen before, living in the depths of this swamp!

"It's a flyfly," Feng Qiyun gently pulled Cha Wenbin behind him, this action really made him very grateful, these lizard-like things turned out to be a huge gecko living in the mud, and its most iconic thing was the well-developed limbs and the unique cockscomb-like shape of the head to stand up. This thing has also been found in some old forests in the northeast in the past, when there is a famine, people even beat it to death, peel and cook meat, but the general body size will not exceed half a meter, and the largest weight is only 20 catties.

But these flies in front of me don't look like that, the saliva mixed with silt on the side of the mouth is sticky outside, the body length is basically around three meters, the huge mandible and developed limbs, presumably this is the thing that dragged the fat man almost killed him before.

"No wonder the monkey is running fast, these lizards smell human flesh." The fat man said: "I guess I am used to eating these things, you see these bones scattered, maybe the dead corpses are used to feed them, this is the so-called sacrifice!" ”

Four or five gigantic scorpions had already climbed up, and a dozen more followed, and the mud in the swamp made a "whooshing" sound illuminated by the lights, and it was estimated that they were going to be surrounded by these things. Look at the ape, I don't know where I'm running now, but this thing is slipping away pretty fast.

These dragonflies don't seem to be in a hurry, they are just waiting in place, these people in front of them are a gluttonous meal, maybe they will wait for the stump to be thrown on the ground and then come to clean the battlefield, and even the fight can be spared.

"Damn, let's go, this thing looks numb to the scalp, it's not much, flash out and run first," he then pulled out his gun and took a tentative step forward, just this small step, the four dragonflies opened their mouths and pounced forward, and the difference was a few centimeters to bite the fat man's shoes. When he retreated, the flies seemed to retreat with him.

"Do you want to trap us here?" Feng Qiyun frowned and said: "You see that there is an incense burner on the left and right, those lizards don't seem to dare to cross this incense burner, fat man, you go try again to see if this is the case." ”

As soon as they stepped out, they crossed the invisible line on the ground, and the scorpion swooped down, and they stopped attacking at the same time somewhere, and then squirmed their huge bodies with their blue tongues at the steps.

"That's really the case, the little white face is really a good brain, are they afraid of something, what is here?" The fat man looked around, there was nothing but the jade coffin, could it be that these dragonflies were afraid of the coffin?

Feng Qiyun said: "Maybe it's a group of pets raised by this guy, so I'm afraid that their owners will be mad, and I still remember this ancestral precept to this day, and I don't dare to cross the red line It's disrespectful." ”

"It's not good to be like this, it's not a dead end to be trapped here, I still want to eat two bites of the baked cakes baked by Sister Lan. In this way, I'll get them a shuttle later, and we'll rush out of this stall! ”

At the moment, there is no better way to do it, just do it, at such a distance, the fat man almost put a gun on the head of the scorpionfly, and when the shot went down, the head of the scorpion suddenly burst open, and the blood instantly spread from the skull covered with mud. But at this moment, a terrifying scene happened, and for some reason, the three scorpions around them launched an attack on their seriously injured companion at the same time.

The huge mouth tore at the injured part, and when it bit out, it rolled in place, and the large piece of flesh and thick skin were torn apart, and they actually devoured their own kind!

"These things really have no feelings, damn it, it's blood that stimulates them, I said that so many flies live on, it is estimated that the big ones eat the small, the strong ones eat the sick and weak, and the flesh is really disgusting!" In a moment, the big scorpion had been torn apart at the moment, and the scorpion that continued to follow below did not forget to take a bite of meat, seizing this opportunity, the fat man casually shot a few more and resulted in a few heads. I thought that these scorpions would not take care of them when they had something to eat, but what I thought was that the bottom of the stairs was already dark now, and if you knocked out one, another one would quickly come up to fill its place, and if you dared to cross the line, the rest of the scorpions would immediately give up the meat in their mouths and pounce on you.

After trying a few times, the fat man had to give up and said: "No, we can't afford to play a war of attrition, even if I run out of bullets like this, we won't be able to walk down that step, are these goods not fed or do they think human flesh is better than their companions?" ”

Looking at those bloody scenes, the internal organs were dragged out of the body, and a disgusting breath began to fill the air, Cha Wenbin frowned and held back the discomfort in his stomach and said: "We ignored one thing, since there were people here for blood sacrifices back then, how did the people who participated in the priesthood go back?" The wizard will definitely not stay here to be buried, otherwise who will preside over the next memorial? ”
