XVI. Rare Demons
"Where?" I asked hurriedly.
"At the front." Asuke pointed into the endless darkness, "I can hear it, the source of that cry is inside." ”
Inside? My heart tightened, I took out my flashlight and ran over, here was a huge palace, the area was as large as a football field or even larger, on both sides of the palace were placed rows of wooden frames, wooden frames against the wall, on which were placed some sacrificial props, what kind of human head wine glasses, all kinds of bamboo sticks, as well as sticks and miniature tables, they were placed on wooden shelves, and then a little bit in the middle was a road paved with five-flower stones, from the stone door we entered to the passage in the dark.
There are some stone mills on both sides of Wuhua Stone Avenue, stone mills? I actually saw the stone mill in this place, but these stone mills are still strange compared to ordinary stone mills, the bottom of the stone mill is carried by a figurine, the figurines use their back and right hand to support the stone mill, the left hand and knee support on the ground, the blank face is expressionless like a puppet without a heart. On the contrary, on the top of the stone mill, there is another person, who is obviously a female surname, ** and genitals are boldly carved on the stone statue, and the characters are very realistic.
"This is Er. It is the mother of the stone mill, and the one on the opposite side is the card, which is the male of the stone mill. Assuke said to me at this point, pressing my arm and not letting me move. The Yi people call the grinding stone "Carl", "Ka" is "grinding", and "Er" is stone, and it is believed that the two stone mills are one male and one female. In the Yi flood myth "A Xi's Xianji" said that after the flood broke out, only the youngest son and the little sister survived according to the instructions of the golden dragon god, in order to reproduce human beings, the golden dragon god asked the brother and sister to become husband and wife, the brother and sister did not obey, the golden dragon god let them roll the stone mill, and the result was that the stone ran together, so the brother and sister became husband and wife and reproduced the human race. ”
"I seem to remember the myth of the flood, it's not Nuwa who mends the sky." I buttoned the pattern of the mask on my face and wondered.
"The myth of the flood is found all over the world, and there are different versions of it depending on the region, but you must know that what I am talking to you is not at all like this, and we Yi people are taboo to pass through the middle of two stone mills, thinking that it will lead to sterility. Therefore, those who have no heirs are called "forced to solve the problem", "forced to divi" means "the one who has cut off his children and grandchildren", and "the person who has no heirs" means "to be crushed by a stone mill." So if you're going to walk this path, just that. ”
"But didn't those flowers also walk through here?" I said impatiently, for this kind of gods and ghosts and taboos is the most incomprehensible thing for me, if these things really exist, then our society is not a mess, people in every place have their own taboos, if they come together, wouldn't it be a disaster in the world? What a laughing stock. What else do you say about cutting off children and grandchildren?
Asuke looked at my attitude and obviously knew that he couldn't persuade me anymore, so he had to say to me, "Those people who can only marry but cannot have children are very responsible, so it is already best for them to have a wife, and if the burden is heavy, their connection with the gods will slowly be lost." ”
"Then I don't care so much?" I'm just going to walk through here? "What about you?" I said to him.
"I'll wait for you here." Ah Zhu looked at me calmly, and then saluted me with a unique gift from the Yi people, "You go, I can only send you here, if you don't come out in 1 hour, I'll wait for you outside, if you don't come outside for 1 day, I'll go out." ”
"It's okay." I patted him on the shoulder a little apologetically, "Originally, I didn't want to come in, but now the person in front of me is already related to my memory, and I don't know what happened to the person named Yang Shizhong now, but I must at least find my own direction through my own efforts." ”
"But let me warn you, that voice isn't quite right." Asuke's face darkened, "I always feel like it's not a voice that a person can cry about, and don't you feel twisted?" How long have we been crying since we first heard it? Normal people have dried up their tears, right? ”
I nodded, "Got it." ”
"Then you go quickly, be careful."
Farewell to Asuke I ran alone on the stone paved ground with a flashlight and his torch, the stone mills on both sides, at this time changed a variety of styles, I didn't care about it, but saw a bridge in front, the back third of the palace was blocked by a ditch, but fortunately there were several bridges on the top of the ditch, the span of the bridge was almost half across the ditch, and the extra ditch, it extended over the palace platform opposite, There is a relatively large incense burner under the extra place, and the incense burner is full of incense, and it seems that people who come here every year will put a few sticks of incense on it.
I was a little puzzled to walk on the bridge, unexpectedly found that the bottom of the bridge is actually a groove under the incense burner, this groove is estimated to be only in my current position can see clearly, I can't help but hold the edge to look down, only to see that the groove is directly flowing out of the incense burner, and the place where the flow is I am now under the bridge, that is, the ditch, I took a few steps back curiously, took a flashlight to shine down and found that the bottom of the place below can not be seen at all, this is an abyss at all, Suddenly, while my flashlight swept, I saw something in the dark ditch, giving me a little reflective signal, I hurriedly and quickly swung my arm to shrink a little bit, Fan Wei shook the flashlight to try to find the reflective point.
Gradually, as my eyes adjusted to the light of this kind of place, I suddenly realized that there was a corpse, a human corpse, oh my God? How could he have died there? I hurriedly ran across the bridge, then rushed to the bottom of the bridge, bypassed the incense burner, lay on the ground and struggled to see down, sure enough, it was a human corpse, the reflective thing was a belt, the belt was made of steel, so it could still have such smoothness, and even after a long time, it was still as new, but so this is a modern person? Is it one of those flowers? No, they won't be on a leash. Or is it an illegal intruder like me?
My curiosity became even stronger, and I almost poked out of my body above the general body, and below was the dark abyss, and there was nothing to see under the abyss, but I could still feel some wind from nowhere, just like in the coffin in the tomb, and there must have been a huge space under the place where I looked here, and this space was even larger than the place above where I was now, and I thought in my head, but my eyes kept rolling, because I was in this position and unexpectedly saw half of the person's body, actually no, he hung upside down in a certain place in a side form, and his side that I didn't easily see was actually hollow, something, I felt something bite at the first time.
Something was wrong, I stood up suddenly, looked at the incense burner in front of me, the incense burner was made of copper and iron and other metals, and there were three short feet standing below, one in front and two in the back, and there was a devil pattern painted on it, which meant that a big devil crawled out of the abyss, the devil was a faceless human form, the whole body was white, like a baby, he climbed out and grabbed a person with one hand, and inserted a thing similar to a straw in his mouth into the person's body, Then a white shadow floated out of the man's body, and not far from him, some people wearing hats in a treasure hall were constantly trying to suppress the devil.
I thought about it, this thing is a little too weird, why did you choose to draw it on the incense burner? You must know that it is a virtue of the Chinese to pursue the distance prudently, so since ancient times, the Chinese have worshiped the gods of heaven and earth and sacrificed to their ancestors; Offering incense as a sign of respect is one of the main items in the worship ceremony, and the incense burner comes in handy. In other words, this incense burner is actually just a sacrificial utensil, and the incense, sticks, and everything on it were placed against the wall in the two rows of the main hall when Asuke and I entered. And there are grooves? Sacrifice? Sacrifice with blood? Something is wrong or is something missing? I turned around and pressed my mask with my hand, and then I opened my eyes, and everything in front of me seemed to overlap with the painting on the incense burner, the palace, the steps, the abyss, the cracks, the dead people.
"Whoosh" The wind in the abyss became stronger and stronger, I turned my back to the abyss and felt something crawl out of it, my whole body began to tremble, every vein in my heart surged up, I didn't dare to look back, not because I didn't have courage, but because I didn't have the strength.
Soon after, a thing fell on my side, I struggled to turn my head, and saw the transparent thing, and a face that was almost eyeless, this time I seemed to find a problem, why my comics in the expression are a straight line of squinting eyes, that is, a rigid face and a little cute, but at this time I looked at this cute thing, only endless fear in my heart, I said to myself, run, run, run, or you will die.
Whoosh, the monster opened its mouth, and a straw-like thing inside stretched out, and it was the sudden horror that made my body suddenly move, I didn't think about anything, I pulled my legs and thought about the inner sanctum and ran over, I had run through 2/3 of the area before, although it was almost the end, but the space in front of me was still very large.
The first thing that caught my eye was a staircase, paved with a kind of stone, and up this staircase was a spacious square, on which stood several stone pillars, carved with words that I could not read, and which I thought were also many incantations, and I went around a few stone pillars, and above them was a larger altar, on which were all kinds of utensils were placed. I didn't have time to care about it so much, I hurriedly looked around, is there a way out, there is a huge totem behind the altar, the totem is the same as we are outside, outside the front of the temple erected, I remember Ah Zhu told me, this is the pattern of Jumang, the Yi people are very widely distributed, so their respective beliefs are also different, so the gods are also different, the Yi people here in Liupanshui did not originally believe in Jumang, so at first Ah Zhu did not recognize the totem, But fortunately, he is not a native of here, but an immigrant, so he still has the impression of seeing such a totem in other Yi villages.
I don't know why there is a thing in the Yi village in Liupanshui that does not belong to their beliefs. Or was the place, even the temple in the primeval forest, built by another group of people at a very early age? I don't know about such a thing, and I guess only those people know about it.
I ran to the front of the wall, and I saw that there was no way out, so it should be on both sides? I don't believe this place can be so small, sure enough, on my right is a side room, that is, the ear chamber in the ancient tomb, most of the ear chambers are stored in some valuable burial goods, when I ran to where, suddenly the monster behind me jumped up, in fact, I haven't seen how he jumped, but I was stunned, such a threat is definitely no less than you are listening to music at work, playing the Xbox brought from home, and your leader is standing in front of you unexpectedly.
Now I can see the whole picture of the ghost, and its whole picture is that of a bloated monster, but the body is slightly transparent, the face is larger, the eyes are smaller, and the teeth are sharper? Hehe, my brain has been scrapped at this time, and I can't think of any words to describe this thing, I just want to run, this time I didn't stop for a long time, although I sighed at the fate of those treasures, but I still didn't hesitate to run backwards, "What about the way out?" What is the way out? I don't want any ear chambers, I just want a tunnel that will allow me to shake it off like a bug. ”
But before I could think too much, this time he actually threw out the contents of his mouth, with some sticky liquid, and tied it to my body like this, I hurriedly tried to detain him with my hands, but this thing seemed to have its own life, either slipped off this part of the waist to tie my legs or slipped from the legs, anyway, it was like vines, nothing could be broken, I watched me be dragged down the ground little by little, leaving a lot of liquid on it, disgusting and disgusting, But what's even more disgusting is that it's all on me now.
There was nothing to be done, I had to turn my head, and looked at the huge bloated monster that opened its mouth and waited for me, I felt a huge chill in my heart, to be honest, now that I am now, there is not much fear, after all, it is not more than a ghost or something like that, I now think of it as a moving man-eating flower at most, so there are not many fluctuations in the mood, and the rest is just helpless, I looked at the teeth like stabs, and my heart clenched into a fist, and suddenly I found that I still had the torch left for me by Asuke in my hand, The fire was raging in the darkness, and it seemed to show no signs of stopping compared to my life.
"." I got up and cursed, and suddenly threw the torch in my hand straight into the monster's mouth, this time it was hilarious, the monster not only loosened the "tube" in his mouth, but also suddenly squirted out a lot of things in his own body, and at this moment a mobile phone wrapped in anti-corrosion clinker tape with a large amount of stomach acid and vomit fell on my body.
