Chapter 31: The Land of Raising Bones
After listening to the story told by Lao Zhao, I think about the deeds of General Wu Si that I saw after we entered the ancient tomb, these two people do have similarities to a large extent, if this is true, then wouldn't we have entered the tomb of a monster? The reality is so exciting......
I was swimming in reverie when I coughed a few times in the sleeping pit next to me, and I saw that he woke up and hurried over to check on the situation. As soon as the pit saw me, he said, "Zero egg, you have come down too." "I'm inexplicable when I say it, and when I think about it, I must think that this thing is dead, and now I'm waiting for a report in the underworld. Then the pit turned his head and saw Song Jin, and said, "This kid is also here, he should run around." ”
I took his hand and said, "You are not dead yet, don't pretend to be a **." The pit looked around and sighed, "Why are you still here, you might as well let me die." "The pit woke up, and it was a blessing in misfortune for us. I picked up the pit, the pit said hello to Lao Zhao and Song Jin, and then stopped talking, it seems that it was too exciting just now, he has not been freed from the shadows yet, to say that it is also, let anyone encounter this kind of thing, the shadow area is not small.
After going down to the bottom of this cliff, we were unexpectedly attacked by the mountain army, which delayed us a lot of time, which will temporarily retreat the insect army, and we can also take this opportunity to have a respite and study the next countermeasures. What to say about studying the next countermeasure, in fact, for us, from the moment we came down from the cliff, we had no way to retreat, and the only soft ladder that could climb to the top of the cliff was also broken at the last moment, so we only had one way, and that was to move forward.
Sorting out the equipment, we went around from the stele pedestal to the back of the stele, and the back of the stele was the human bone mountain I saw when I was looking for Song Jin before, and Lao Zhao also came to see it at that time. At that time, when I looked at it, I just thought that there were many human bones on this human bone mountain, but now I can look more carefully, this skeleton that makes up this mountain, there are definitely no less than 2,000 bodies, which can be regarded as a real mass grave. The height of the Bone Mountain surpasses the stele, but because of the angle, it is impossible to see it from standing in front of the stele. In order to facilitate observation, we climbed the stele again, so that we could see a general picture of the whole picture, counting our individual heights.
Looking closely from above, I found that these bones were not stacked together randomly, but had a certain pattern, and there would be a cycle every other paragraph, and they would rotate higher and higher, and finally form a mountain, and it felt like if one was pulled out from somewhere, then the whole mountain of bones would collapse. I am a person with a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I always want to put things in order when I see them, and for neat things, I can't help but look for the rules. , I also served myself, why is there such a problem, I don't even let go of human bones. I told Lao Zhao about my discovery, and Lao Zhao seemed to have discovered the problem, and a pimple formed between his foreheads. I saw that something was wrong with him and hurriedly asked him what was going on.
Lao Zhao pondered for a long time, and said in a low voice: "If I'm not mistaken, this thing in front of me is called the Bone Cultivation Building." After speaking, Lao Zhao looked at us, of course we didn't know what this so-called bone building was, so we could only wait for him to give us a science popularization. Lao Zhao waved his hand, and then said: "This bone-raising, but also from a certain religion in ancient times, I don't know what kind of religion was called in ancient times, in short, the nature is similar to the current cult, the leader of this sect has studied such a thing, but it has been lost, that is, some are recorded in individual ancient books, and they are all a few words. Speaking of bone nourishment, to be precise, it is bone nourishment, and the purpose of bone nourishment is to use bone. Before raising bones, you must find a secluded place, no one can disturb you, otherwise the aura in the bones will be dispersed, and it is useless to raise it. Saying that, Lao Zhao pointed around, and I thought to myself that I should not do any verification at this time, let alone use the word perfect to describe the environment here.
"A suitable place is the primary condition, after this place is selected, it is called the bone cultivation land, and then the bone cultivation place is built blood marrow platform, that is, after extracting the bone marrow of the living, mixed with soil to build a square platform, as the foundation of the bone cultivation building. The bones are then placed on the marrow table, so that the basic preparations are completed. As for how to raise bones, then I don't know. ”
"Then what is the purpose of raising bones?" I asked.
"As I just said, raising bones is actually bone raising, to put it bluntly, it is to let these grain piles play a role, just like captive livestock." Lao Zhao explained. I said "oh", but in fact, I didn't understand Lao Zhao's explanation, what is like raising livestock in captivity, raising an animal can be sold for money and eating meat when it grows up, raising a dog can take care of the house, and what is the use of raising bones? It's impossible to kill bones and eat meat! Don't eat meat, stew ribs? It's so perverted that I can't even think about it. It is not very likely to sell for money, who will pay for this kind of thing, judging from the bone mountain in front of us, we know how serious the pressure is. I looked at the pit and Song Jin, and the two of them were also confused. I'm not sure what this thing is for, but the only thing I know for sure is that it's definitely not good.
Let's just say that this pile of bones, where did it come from, it is definitely not removed from oneself, and the person who can afford to build this bone building must also be a person with great power and viciousness, and this person also has a certain degree of psychopathology, at least in my opinion. The appearance of the bone building here, I am afraid that it was a good thing done by General Wu Si, who killed a large number of prisoners of war and migrant workers in the tomb, and used their bones to make this bone building. Those prisoners of war may have already put life and death aside, and the most pitiful are those migrant workers who repair the tombs, who worked hard to repair the tombs, and in the end they inevitably died, which is really sad and lamentable. The resentment and anger contained in this building are by no means ordinarily terrible, and we must be doubly careful, although I am also an atheist, and in the current situation I would rather believe it than not.
In the final analysis, what bothers us the most is what is the purpose of this bone building. I swept the white bones in front of me with a flashlight, but I only saw a few mountain worms haunting from the middle, quickly dodging the flashlight, because Song Jin was still carrying the insect ancestor in his hand, so these guys would not rush up. I turned the light of the flashlight to the strongest, concentrated the light as much as possible, and shone on the skull closest to us, there was no flesh on the skull, only Bai Sensen's bones remained, and the facial features had become black holes, black and faint absorbing the light, and there were a few fewer upper and lower teeth, and a few were broken, maybe they fell off or broke for some reason during their lifetime. And at the top of the skull, something caught my attention. Through the gap in the skull, there were several red silk threads like blood vessels scattered on the skull, like a spider web, covering most of the skull, and finally converged into a thicker red line, stretching towards the back of the head, and then looked closely at the other skeletons, there were the same things, I was too anxious to find these things.
What are these red thread-like things for, and when did they appear here? Was it there during his lifetime, or was he strung together by red silk threads after death? I asked Lao Zhao if there were any red silk threads mentioned in the so-called bone cultivation surgery? Lao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again, and said: "This bone cultivation technique has long been lost, if you don't see this thing today, no one will believe that there really is such a thing in the world, and most people will just treat it as a legend." As for the details of this bone cultivation technique, no one knows, and I have already said this just now, so there is no record of any red silk thread you say. ”
In this way, things are not easy to do, everything has no basis, how can we be sure, the clues that were finally found are wasted and worthless. In order to find out, I simply jumped off the stone tablet, and under the gaze of Lao Zhao, I walked to the bone building step by step. The closer I got to the Bone Cultivation Building, the more I felt depressed, and my back was cold, as if someone was blowing on my neck. I felt as if something was watching me, in the midst of this endless darkness. I was bold, took out the dagger and held it in my hand, little by little to move to the bottom of this bone building, looking up, the high pile of bones could not see the top, at this moment, I relaxed, both come and be safe, it's a big deal to fight for a life, and I can't be scared to death.
I shone my flashlight at the nearest bone, and I saw that the red thread looked like a long hand, and I couldn't tell if it had pierced the bone, but it looked like it was one piece. I scraped the red silk thread along the white bone with a dagger, but I was even more surprised that there was a blood-like liquid flowing out of the broken part of the red silk thread, and then the red silk thread wrapped around the bone shrank back.
Damn, alive, this sudden change made me shocked, not good, there was a situation, I turned around and ran away in a hurry, but I didn't know what was pulling the whole person on the ground.
