"Phoenix gall" was thrown into the cloud lake under the sky beam by Uncle Ming, I angrily dragged him off the stone statue, raised my fist and wanted to fight, but before I could do it, I heard Shirley Yang shout: "It's not good, time is gone." After speaking, looking up at the crystal veins above his head, Ah Xiang, who was sitting on the ground, and the fat man who had just avoided behind another stone figure in order to avoid the gun, including Uncle Ming, who was pressed down by me, also raised their heads and looked at it.

At this time, the light in the cave changed, the fluorescence originally emitted from the ore above, at this time also suddenly darkened, and the surroundings were darkened, although it was not so dark that it was invisible, but the figure close at hand had already appeared hazy and blurred, I saw their actions, and knew that something must have happened on my head, so I held down Uncle Ming, raised my eyes to see, from the ice wall-like crystal veins, extended countless scattered and expanded crystals, all of which were born downward at a distorted angle, clusters like sharp ice picks, in these strange crystals, A huge black figure, squirming in the depths, emitting bursts of thunderous movements, echoing repeatedly on the crystal wall, emitting ominous sounds, the appearance of black shadows, diluted most of the cold fluorescence, and the environment in the cave became darker and darker.

The scene of black clouds crushing the city made this already very narrow altar space even more depressing, and listening to the rumbling sound above, the inexplicable sense of panic in the white tunnel appeared in my heart again, and I couldn't help but wonder: "What the fuck is that?" ”

I was originally talking to myself, but I didn't expect Uncle Ming, who was held down by me, to suddenly say, "Brother Hu, this is ...... It's an evil spirit sealed in a stone, it's coming out of the stone, I'm afraid it's really over this time, and we won't be able to live. ”

Only then did I think of Uncle Ming, and when I heard that he still had the face to talk to me, my heart suddenly became angry, and I thought that this old Hong Kong farmer had raped home. Originally, I was discussing the matter of the altar with Shirley Yang and the fat man, although the shape is compelling, but there is still some time to think of a way, although the ritual of killing is very mysterious and ancient, but in the final analysis, it is nothing more than changing the balance between yin and yang at the intersection of this string and arc, if there is no accident, in the remaining hour or so, there may be a chance to find out the secret, it is not destined to be a situation of death and no life. This time into Tibet, no matter what kind of predicament I faced, I never gave up my efforts, because Zhang Yingchuan's number of opportunities pointed out, when encountering water, you can get the middle way, this time to the west must have something, will be able to benefit the river, again and again solemn magic pointed, I have no doubt about this. But how can we "meet the water and get the middle way" in this ritual, but what will be the way to survive in the water in this case? I couldn't understand it for a while.

But I don't have a chance to comprehend the true meaning of it, just because this Hong Kong peasant is so clever that in order to save his life, he actually robbed the "phoenix gall" to blackmail everyone, and wasted all our precious time, which is so hateful, and what do we still want him to do, so I raised my fist and wanted to beat him.

When Uncle Ming saw me say that I would do it, he was immediately shocked like chaff, I treated the enemy, especially the inner ghost, which has always been as cruel as winter, and I was not moved at all, but before my fist fell, Uncle Ming's expression suddenly changed, his face was full of dazedness, and he looked at me and said, "Hey...... Where am I? Brother Hu...... What just happened? I have an old problem, sometimes I have a split personality, even what I just did, I don't remember what I said, was there a gaffe just now? ”

I snorted coldly, stopped beating him again, and couldn't help but admire Uncle Ming a little in my heart, the old fritter saw the opportunity quickly, and the ability to pretend to be stupid was much stronger than me and the fat man, it was a pity not to act in a movie, I couldn't really kill him, a fat beating would not help, and I didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time, I looked up at the situation above, the black figure became clearer and clearer in the crystal, the shadow was shaking slightly, and the muffled thunder in the air was even more harsh, it really seemed to be some kind of demon trapped in the stone, It seems to be struggling to crawl out of it.

I didn't pay attention to Uncle Ming pretending to be crazy and stupid, and beckoned the fat man to come over: "I'll leave it to you, but education and education will be done, don't kill people...... Also, if he gets half a step closer to the phoenix gall, he doesn't need to speak, and shoots him directly. ”

The fat man gritted his teeth and glared at Uncle Ming, pressed him under him, and scolded while poking Uncle Ming's ribs with his fingers: "The experience of history, the lessons of the past, tell us again and again, whoever fucking dares to cut himself off from the people, whoever fucking is a fucking dead end." "Scolding and scraping on his ribs.

I heard Uncle Ming's scream like a ghost crying wolf because of the pain and itching, and then I felt a bad breath, and if I didn't teach him a lesson, I would inevitably add to the chaos in the future, so I didn't care how the fat man saved Uncle Ming's wrong position, and hurriedly ran to Shirley Yang and said: "Although we don't know what that big black sky thunder mountain is, once the thing above is really out of the spar, it will definitely be able to deal with it with our current ability, but look at the movement above, We may have a little time left, so I'll go down and get the phoenix gall back. ”

I said that, but what is it like under this vast sea of clouds and stone smoke, I only heard the fat man say, but it can be known that the terrain below is unimaginably complex, it is all mirror-like multi-edged crystals, it is impossible to distinguish the front and back, left and right, a dragon's eye-like bead falls, the result can be imagined, it is by no means a moment to be recovered, and even the possibility of finding it again is very low, and the time is too urgent, but if you don't look for it, there is not even a one percent chance.

Shirley Yang just saw that the crystal veins above his head had changed, and immediately ran back to the belly of Yushan, looked at the situation of the crystal sand, and then ran back to Tianliang to help Ah Xiang, who was sitting on the ground crying, and after listening to what I said, he immediately stopped me and said: "It's too late, the time has come to an end, it's too late, the crystal bowl has been filled with fine sand, and what if you get it back?" Do you really want to kill Uncle Ming? ”

I now just want to try my best to find the "phoenix gall", despite Shirley Yang's dissuasion, I insisted on jumping off the beam, but suddenly I saw an incredible scene in my eyes, I hurriedly said to Shirley Yang: "Look at the stone smoke below, it seems that there is a change." ”

Under the dim and trance fluorescence, the white smoke, which was second only to the crystal dust, was decreasing in height little by little, as if the black figure above the head became larger, and the stone smoke became thinner. We don't notice when this change happened, but the thickness of the cloud lake is now half a meter lower than before, and it is still decreasing, becoming gradually thinner.

In this cloud of gradually decreasing thickness, half a dark round object appeared in it, which was the location where the "phoenix gall" had just fallen, and that thing was nothing else, it was the "phoenix gall" that was related to the overall situation, which was a bit too hard to believe, could it really be such a coincidence? It just so happened that where Uncle Ming threw it, there was a crystal stone, and the "phoenix gall" actually fell on it and didn't roll into the depths? I can't believe that we have such good luck, but the facts are in front of us, and people can't help but believe it.

I pinched my leg hard, not dreaming, Shirley Yang also saw it clearly. But at this time, the clouds continued to descend a very thin layer, we saw the things under the clouds, and couldn't help but beat wildly, only to see a dry and blackened arm, which was motionless holding the "phoenix gall", and the half of the arm exposed from the cloud had completely lost its moisture, leaving the shriveled skin wrapped around the bone frame, and the skin was black and purple.

I subconsciously reached out to touch the black donkey's hooves in the carrying bag, and then remembered that those things had been lost on the road, but then I saw more and more shocking things revealed under the clouds, some places exposed human heads, and some places appeared arms and thighs, without exception were naked**, dry black and purple, densely packed to count how many. The white stone smoke is getting thicker and thicker, and the speed of thinning begins to slow down, Shirley Yang and I saw this, and we already understood in our hearts, these dried corpses were thrown around the Jade Mountain after the sacrificial ceremony, year by year, there were too many corpses, and they were piled up into a mountain, and the dead may be due to special dehydration treatment, or due to the effect of the geographical environment, the eternal immortality, after the clouds thinned, this was gradually revealed, the fat man and Uncle Ming fell where they fell, near the entrance of the tunnel, But all they saw was a myriad of bizarre crystals, and it was clear that the dried corpses that had been sacrificed were thrown on both sides of the Jade Mountain.

I saw that the "phoenix gall" fell on the hand of a dry corpse in a high place, it was really a surprise, and immediately jumped off the beam, intending to step on the mountain of corpses to retrieve the beads, less than a meter deep under the beam, it was already full of dried corpses, stepped on and fell, and the corpses that were overhead below were trampled by me to slide down one after another, I didn't care to look at those dried corpses, and my eyes were firmly focused on the "phoenix gall", lest it roll down from the top of the corpse mountain, in case it fell into the crack of the corpse pile, it would be a hundred times more difficult to find than falling into the crystalline stone.

Stepping on a large number of dried corpses exposed to the clouds, I was also a little nervous, and I didn't pay attention to the situation under my feet, I stepped on the braincase of a dried corpse, and actually stepped on the human head, the braincase of the dried corpse was dry and hard and very slippery, and my feet slipped on it, and I suddenly lost my center of gravity, fell on the spot, and pounced on a woman's dry corpse.

On the shriveled face of the female corpse, the eye sockets of the two black holes were very large, I was taken aback in my heart, secretly cursed the bad luck, and pressed the messy accumulation of dried corpses and wanted to get up and continue to get the "phoenix gall", but my eyes couldn't leave the female corpse, because I suddenly thought, no! These dried corpses are not sacrifices, their skin has not been peeled off, just now only staring at the "phoenix gall", there is nothing else in their eyes, because of the fall, a little distracted, this detail was noticed, and this mountain of dried corpses, each of them regardless of men, women and children, has a common characteristic, of course, not without clothes, the clothes have probably decayed into ashes, all the dried corpses have been stripped of their eyes.

The thunder above my head became tighter, like a burst of urging spells, I knew that there was not much time left for us, fortunately, after the crystal sand ran out, it would take some time for the "Great Black Sky Strike Thunder Mountain" to fully appear, which is equivalent to the Grim Reaper still leaving us with a glimmer of life, what we have to do now is to race against death.

Seeing the two big dark black holes on the face of the female corpse, although I also wondered, what kind of relationship did so many dried corpses have with the altar? Although I vaguely felt that something was wrong here, the idea of quickly crawling over and getting the "phoenix gall" back had completely occupied most of my mind at the moment, and I didn't have time to think carefully about what the reputation of these dried corpses was, and I didn't care about the disgusting feeling of crawling in the corpse mountain, and I only had "phoenix gall" in my mind, which was an extreme emotion that arose under overload of psychological pressure. I can't control my actions anymore.

But the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't get up, whether it was my arms or legs, I couldn't hold it up, my hands and feet were stuck in the middle of the layers of dried corpses, and I was so anxious that I was sweating all over, maybe it was related to the black shadow above my head, and I would feel a panic inexplicably when I saw it, maybe it was really some kind of evil spirit stored in the ore. While my mind was in a state of confusion, and my hands and feet were trapped by the corpses that were lying in the middle of the lungs, I jumped down from the beam, lifted me up, and I said to her, "These many dried corpses are not sacrifices, and have not been skinned. ”

Shirley Yang said, "No, they all have their eyelids cut off, and a pair of human eyes can be gouged out, and the ritual of sacrificing to the ghost cave can be completed." ”

Shirley Yang's words, like an important reminder, I immediately glanced at the dried corpse under my feet, and sure enough, the eyelids were cut off from the eyebrow bone, and I suddenly came to my senses, and I didn't need to elaborate, I already understood what she meant, and the mural depicting the murder ritual flashed quickly in my mind like a movie. The first of them, "Peeling the Skin", the priest holds down the head of the sacrifice and cuts it with a sharp weapon is the execution before the forehead, because I have heard that the skinning of people is also done from the head with a sharp knife, so it is inevitable that the preconceived idea, and the execution pit is too bloody, and I want to vomit after a few more glances, so in a hurry, I mistakenly thought that the action in the mural was to peel off the whole human skin. In fact, judging from these dried corpses piled up into hills, the action in the mural refers to the peeling off of the eyelids, with this premise, the future content is naturally easy to solve, what to do in the human-shaped stone trough is to completely take out the "eyes" of the sacrifice, and the shaman holds the corpse and puts it into the mural of the altar, in which the corpse is painted very blurred, and we mistakenly think that it is a corpse bleeding all over the body, but now that I think about it, the body with a vague body should be used to represent the life paid on the eyeball, and the sacrifice of the eyes was gouged out, After being brutally murdered and abandoned near the altar, over the years, it has formed an astonishing scale.

As long as we sacrifice a pair of human eyes that have been assimilated by the ghost cave, the curse on our bodies can be lifted, but when we came in through the white tunnel, we were blindfolded all the way, groping in the dark, knowing that the panic and helplessness of losing sight and falling into the boundless darkness, if we gouged out our eyes, it would be better to die, except for Shirley Yang, who would give up their eyes, but of course I can't let her do this, it's a big deal to let Uncle Ming make meritorious contributions, But if you do this, Shirley Yang will definitely not agree, but compared with peeling out your eyes and peeling and slaughtering people, it is already a half-price discount, and the spirit of thinking of this is also lifting.

These thoughts flashed in his mind, and the body did not stop acting because of these chaotic thoughts, and finally approached the "phoenix gall" that fell into the hands of a dry corpse, but he was in a hurry, and committed the taboo of "if you want to hurry, you can't reach it", and the last arrow jumped out, wanting to grab the "phoenix gall", but this hill of dried corpses, because a large number of dried corpses were thrown down from the beam, not intentionally piled up, many places inside the corpse mountain are empty, as soon as there is an external force to apply, the hill made of dry corpses will be scattered, Just like a landslide, a large piece collapsed at the edge, and the "phoenix gall" in the hands of the dry corpse was about to roll down with several nearby corpses.

I shouted, pounced directly, while catching the "phoenix gall", I rolled down the edge of the collapse of the corpse mountain with the dry corpses that lost their support, here is not high from the crystal ore layer below, rolling down to a depth of five or six meters, it has stopped the momentum, I don't wait to get up from the ground, I first looked at the "phoenix gall" in my hand, and really held it in my hand, and then I breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got it back.

At this time, the white stone smoke around me has become extremely thin, and the rest is like a chaotic cloud drifting, the crystal veins around me fluoresce miserably, the terrain is almost completely symmetrical with the top of the head, as if it is reflected in a mirror, because there are countless fallen dried corpses scattered nearby, the ground is full, so it is not easy to be affected by the crystal plane like the ice wall, I looked up at the top of my head, it was really subverted, the wind and clouds changed color, the dark shadow was twisting and elongating, the whole was stretched, and it was no longer visible to be the shape of a person, Like a broken black wind horse flag, slowly rotating in the crystal, looking at the shape, it actually looked like a black eye socket, which was constantly drumming, as if it was about to drip water against the jade mountain.

Shirley Yang stood on the edge of the corpse mountain, desperately beckoning Ah Xiang and the others on the Tianliang to leave quickly, the fat man pulled Ah Xiang and Uncle Ming to jump from the Tianliang to the corpse pile below, stumbling and shouting as he ran: "The altar can't stay anymore, run quickly, comrades......"

I still can't see exactly what they saw, but I feel a chill in my heart, although I have found the "phoenix gall", but after all, it is a step too late, and there may be no way to go back to the altar, I suddenly had an impulse, I plan to risk rushing back, but what about the eyes? With whom? Rip off Uncle Ming's or use my own?

At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of water slapping against the stone wall, I quickly looked back, and saw that in a cluster of crystal veins not far away, there was a small underground water hole, the water in it was stained red with blood, the white-bearded old fish we had seen in the wind erosion lake, we fell into the underground lake with it, although the underground water veins crisscrossed like a net, but I really didn't expect to see it again here.

The white-bearded old fish was dying stranded at the water's edge, although it was still alive, but death was only a matter of time, its whole body was covered with wounds caused by the bite and impact, the fish's mouth was closed one by one, and it kept spitting blood blisters, and with a mouthful of blood gushing out, it spit out two bead-like things from its mouth, and fell to the ground dripping.

Although the two beads were covered with blood, I still saw that the thing was the eyeballs of the ghost mother's "glacier crystal corpse", there was no more suitable sacrifice than it, it was really the way of the heavens, I immediately got up and wanted to take the eyeballs on the ground, but the crystal layer under my feet was slippery than the ice, and I slipped again, and the two crystal eyeballs of the ghost mother were also sliding into the water, although I was only one step away from them, but I didn't have time to stand up, and I couldn't reach them in place, and watched them roll to the water's edge, Once you fall in, it's all over.

In a hurry, I can only take risks, I pulled out the mountaineering pickaxe casually, flat on the crystal layer to push the front end of the eyeball rolling direction, although this time is a desperate but not bad, finally before the pair of eyeballs rolled into the water, they were blocked, my hanging heart has not yet landed, I saw the two crystal eyes, actually slowly rolled to the side of the slope, opposite the two crystal ores in the gap, a black and white pattern of "brindle Jiao", squeezed out a pair of blood basin mouth, is staring at the greedy blood-red eyes, inhaling hard, Swallowing the fishy smell of the air current, he inhaled the pair of eyeballs into his abdomen.
