Chapter 306: The Conspiracy of Sacrifice (1)
As we went deeper, we soon couldn't see the bronze door behind us, but there was a lot of fog in front and back, and we didn't know when we would be able to reach the end or the next corner.
That's when ......
"Click!"
"Bang!"
I heard another muffled sound.
I was startled, "The door is open again?" ”
The fat man's face also changed, and he said, "There should be someone else coming in!" ”
I took a breath of cold air, and someone else came in besides us?
So I suggested, "Why don't you go back?" ”
The fat man groaned for a moment and said okay.
So, we went back in the direction we had been going back to, but not for two minutes before we had been out. Something happened that made our backs tingle!
The road ahead is gone, replaced by a wall!
Ghost seals!
I and the fat man changed color together, you know, now it's already daytime, and there are ghosts sealing the door during the day, so it's really called daytime! It's different from the ones I encountered before when the rooster crows and disappears!
I hurriedly took out my phone to check and found that it was indeed almost six o'clock in the morning, and the rooster should have crowed an hour ago.
I took out my sharp knife and stabbed the wall a few more times, and found that the wall was as hard as metal, as if it was also made of bronze, but the color looked darker.
This wall is not an illusion, but a real one.
I looked up at the height of the wall, it was about two feet, and it was not completely sealed, so I suggested that the fat man jump up and take a look, although the wall roots were very smooth, but if someone asked me to borrow strength, I could go up.
The fat man said yes, put his horse under the base of the wall, and put his hands on it.
I stepped back a little, rushed, jumped up and stepped on the fat man's hand, and the fat man padded me again with all his might, and slashed towards the wall.
I saw that my hand was about to hit the wall, but then I suddenly felt like I had hit the ceiling, and my head fell with a pain, and my eyes were full of gold stars.
"Are you alright?" The fat man hurriedly pulled me up.
I shook my head, "No, there seems to be a ban on it, and it's sealed." ”
The fat man was helpless for a while, and said, "Since there is no way back, let's continue to move forward." ”
We had to turn around and leave, when we suddenly heard the muffled sound of the door opening, on the other side of the wall.
"In the third wave, it seems that in addition to us, many other people have also been brought here." The fat man glanced back.
I nodded, thinking that this thing was getting more and more evil, and after thinking about it, I asked, "Could it be that there are aborigines here?" ”
The fat man shook his head and said: "There is a lot of miasma in the depths of the swamp, it is impossible for a living person to survive here for a long time, even if there is, it is a very few, and besides, the bronze door is too heavy, it is troublesome to open and close, and it doesn't look like it is often opened." ”
I nodded, the fat man's analysis was right.
Then we moved on to the front.
But after more than an hour, it was already seven o'clock in the morning, and it was supposed to be dawn, but it was still groggy here, and I couldn't see any change in the light, and what was even more strange was that we still hadn't reached the end. On the contrary, the bronze gate kept opening and closing, as if it was swallowing the flow of people.
The fat man looked at the bronze passage that he couldn't see to the end, a little depressed, and said: "Don't go any more, we can't get it right to stand still, there are not only ghosts sealing the door here, but also ghosts hitting the wall." ”
"What the hell is this?" I scolded, in broad daylight, Lang Lang, you can see the sky here, but it is blocked and groggy, and the ghost seals the door and the ghost hits the wall together. I've never seen such an evil place.
The fat man took off the bag, sat down against the wall under the buttocks, and said, "Rest, I'm afraid that the ghosts here hit the wall and the ghost seal the door are not only coming to us, but also to the people who come later. ”
I had no choice but to sit down and rest against the hard and cold bronze wall for a while.
After a pause, I was bored, so I asked the fat man why many evil places were made of bronze walls or doors. This is also reflected in the underground palace of Hongcun, and the door made by the ancestor of the Hong family to block the underground palace is also a bronze door.
The fat man smiled and didn't answer me directly, but asked rhetorically: "Have you heard of Jiuding?" ”
I nodded, this thing is in the history textbook, according to legend, in the early years of the Xia Dynasty, Yu divided the world into Kyushu, so that the Kyushu state pastoral contribution bronze, casting Jiuding, symbolizing Kyushu, the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu in the country, strange things engraved in the body of Jiuding, with a tripod symbolizing a state, and Jiuding concentrated in the capital of the Xia Dynasty.
Kyushu thus became synonymous with the Central Plains, as well as a symbol of the supremacy of royal power and the unity and prosperity of the country. The Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty were regarded as the heirlooms that symbolized the state power, but they were later lost during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
"Jiuding is cast in bronze, it is enshrined by the incense of the princes and generals in the eastern earth world, down to the dawn of the people, which symbolizes the royal power and symbolizes the will of heaven, and represents the suppression of evil demons for the world. Over time, bronze has blessed the wishes of countless living beings and has the effect of suppression. It is strange to say that when Jiuding was there, the eastern soil was basically peaceful, Jiuding was missing, and the eastern soil was immediately divided, entering the era of hundreds of years of princely separation, and the people were not able to make a living. The fat man said.
"Willpower?" I wondered, "Why does it sound a bit like a Buddhist thing?" ”
The fat man nodded and explained: "There is indeed a similarity, Buddhism cultivates the power of willingness, which is different from most of the Qimen cultivation of Qimen, according to the theory of Buddhism, everyone can produce the power of willingness, but there are very few ordinary people." Only those high monks have a strong will, and blessings on certain items can even ward off evil spirits. ”
I know that there is such a saying in this regard.
Then, the fat man told me a lot more, which made me understand more deeply.
In the catastrophe thirty years ago, the most hit by the Qimen forces was the Buddhism lineage, and the Daomen lineage was hidden in the world because of the many laymen, but it was less damaged. And the lightest is the various clans, as well as the traditional secret land like Miao Jiang, their main strength has been preserved, and a little vitality has been retained for the Qimen realm.
Now, major families and secret lands have been born one after another and have begun to compete for territory. According to the fat man, the Qimen of Dongtu has gradually entered the "Warring States" era!
The lost order will be restored, and the future will be bloody!
In short, I was shocked when I heard it, but I couldn't refute it, not to mention anything else, the three Qimen clans in the southwest have obviously entered a white-hot battle, all kinds of conspiracies, all kinds of conspiracy.
……
In this way, we waited boredly for a whole day, and gradually, it was finally getting dark, and the bronze door outside had been opened and closed dozens of times.
Soon the hour passed, and the night came.
"Let's go, let's see!" The fat man got up and said.
I got up and walked forward with the fat man, and sure enough, after a few steps, the front was no longer an endless passage, but a crossroads with two lanes.
I couldn't help but secretly feel in my heart, the fat man was really right, this place will only appear when it is dark.
"Whoosh!"
At that moment, I felt something black in the corner of my eye in front of me, and it was very fast, and there was a little reflection. The location is right on the wall above us.
The fat man and I trembled and immediately went back to back, all on alert.
"Do you see clearly?" The fat man asked.
"I didn't see it clearly, it has claws, I see reflections, and it's about the size of a monkey." I replied, with a deep chill in my heart; That thing can walk on the wall, it is clearly not restricted by prohibitions, it must be the "aborigines" here, but I don't know what it is.
But after a long time, it didn't reappear.
"Be careful, let's continue!" The fat man said.
I nodded, and the fat man went forward, backwards, back to back, and locked all the walls and walls to avoid a sneak attack.
After walking for a while, suddenly the black shadow appeared, and pounced on the fat man, who had his back to this side, which was a blind spot.
"Be careful!" I pushed the fat man away, and with all my energy, I slammed the feather duster at the thing.
"Wow!"
The thing screamed miserably, and was smashed directly into the corner of the wall, covered in black gas.
That's when I realized what it was, it looked like a dog, but its eyes were blood-red, and it was hairless, only shriveled skin, and there were pus-filled spots all over it, and it looked extremely disgusting, with a strong rancid smell.
The fat man and I looked at each other, and rushed over to mend the knife, but the thing "swished" up the wall and left screaming.
"What's that?" I asked, the fat man should have seen clearly.
The fat man's face was a little unpleasant, and he said, "It's a monster, although it's not strong, but it's hard to entangle!" ”
I felt a chill in my heart, Miao Miao once explained to me that the "demon" thing does not belong to the human world at all, it is brought out from the deepest part of hell, it is very rare, and it is difficult to entangle.
"I'm afraid there is really a big demon here, that thing is formed by being contaminated with demonic energy, let's be careful." The fat man said.
I nodded, and then I chose one of the crossroads with the fat man and continued down. After walking for a while, I suddenly heard footsteps in front of me, and there was more than one voice.
We had nowhere to hide, and soon a group of people appeared in front of us, dressed in different clothes, men and women, old and young, and at the front was a man with a scar on his face.
As soon as he saw us, he smiled and said, "Yo, two more!" ”
I instinctively touched the sharp knife, and the scar man also noticed my small movements, and said: "Don't be nervous, we're just holding together temporarily, join us, something is wrong here, it's easy to be in danger when there are few people, someone has died before!" ”
The fat man and I looked at each other, and we both breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the loose position between them did not seem to be acquaintances, and they were dressed differently, so he should not be lying.
"How did you get here?" The fat man asked.
The scar man looked inexplicable and said, "We? Didn't you come by yourself? ”
Me and the fat man: "......"
