Chapter 53: See also the skull figure
The scene that happened below made me take a breath. I was stunned for a moment. I'll go! What's going on here?
The man who walked up from Haizi walked very slowly, but his pace was steady, and he seemed to be wearing a long robe, and the small lamp in his hand emitted a faint green light. Due to the distance, I couldn't see the person's face clearly.
At this time, my mind was filled with countless questions, who is this person? Why did he emerge from the sea? The most important question is whether he is alive or dead?
I turned my head to Kong Xue, but was stopped by Kong Xue just about to speak, she pointed to the sea below and motioned for me to look down. I held back the doubts in my mind and continued to look down curiously.
When I saw this, I immediately forgot to breathe in surprise. I saw that after the figure came out, there were many figures coming out one after another, and there were about a dozen in total. Each one seemed to be wearing the same robes, and each carried a small green lantern in his hand.
After these people walked out of Haizi, they consciously lined up in a column. And I don't know when, not far in front of Haizi, there has been a road that glows with a faint green light for a day, which is similar to the glowing road we found when we hid from the white-haired wind. The road leads into the distance, in the deepest part of the desert.
This column of robed people, carrying green lanterns, silently walked on this glowing road, as if some kind of ritual was being held, and the whole scene was extremely weird.
At this point, cold sweat was already breaking out on my forehead, and I lowered my voice and asked, "What the hell is down here?" Is it human? ”
Kong Xue shook her head, "I don't know either!" ”
Shi Tao on the other side whispered: "Dawuti said that these are probably wandering spirits trapped in the desert and can't get out, repeating some things before life, and can't get out." ”
Dawut always likes to pull it on the devil when he encounters strange things, but only this time I think he has some truth in what he said. "And where are they going?"
Kong Xue shook her head, "Who knows!" Why don't we go over and have a look? ”
"No need!" I was taken aback, "This place is so empty, and there is no shelter, it is easy to find!" Anyway, they are going in this direction, let's remember the route, and it's not too late to go over and see when it gets dawn! ”
Kong Xue looked at me and sneered, "Silly, I'll tease you!" Do you think I lack eyes? Follow with me at this time! ”
Listening to Kong Xue's words, I rolled my eyes helplessly. As we watched the robed men walk slowly forward, all of a sudden I noticed that something was not quite right, but when I looked closer, I finally found that there was a trail of footprints left behind them.
I was taken aback, if they were able to leave footprints, it meant that this group of people was not a so-called geist at all, they were completely substantial. In this case, there are only two possibilities, the first possibility is that they are aliens living in this sea, and they have nothing to do with people, just an animal like a human. The second possibility is that they are human beings, but they are already dead. Therefore, what appeared in front of us at this time was actually more than a dozen zongzi!
According to my inference, I think the second possibility is more likely. All of a sudden, I felt a chill down my spine, and in either case, it was creepy!
I panicked for a while, and glanced at Shi Tao and Kong Xue, "How is it?" Shall we withdraw first? ”
The two of them nodded at me, and we cautiously prepared to turn back, when I suddenly saw something white and smooth on the lower side of the dune.
My heart moved, could it be a porcelain, the porcelain found in this place must be extraordinary, if you bring it back, you will definitely be able to buy it at a good price!
Thinking of this, I looked at the zongzi queue under the sand dunes. Thinking that they wouldn't be able to spot it by making some moves on it now, I climbed a little down from the top of the dune, stopped on the other side of the dune, sat up on my knees, and reached out to touch the white thing. As the saying goes, money is obsessed with the mind, this sentence is really reasonable, and I forgot to be afraid at this time!
I grabbed it carefully and pulled it hard. The white thing was pulled out by me, but when I saw what it was, I was immediately frightened and let go.
It turned out that the white thing turned out to be a skeletal human head! What was revealed just now was a skull!
My body subconsciously ducked backwards, and this side of the dune was much steeper than the one we had just climbed up. I almost slid down, struggling with my hands to steady my body.
However, my body froze all at once, for I could already feel another round thing under my hand, with a smooth surface, and two cavities. I immediately guessed what it was, these eight achievements are the second skull!
I've been a little afraid of this kind of thing since I was a child, and some people may think that it's just human bones, just like pig bones and cow bones, the only difference is just the difference in species, but I have some resistance to this thing from the heart, in fact, this is a kind of fear. Especially in this defenseless situation. At that time, I really wanted to scream, but I still held back, because there were a dozen more terrifying dumplings under the dunes!
But I suddenly felt that this skull was very wrong, and a thought flashed through my mind, but my mind was already a little confused at the moment, and I didn't grasp it for a while.
Kong Xue and Shi Tao noticed that I didn't follow, so they turned over and walked back.
Kong Xue said: "Big brother, what are you doing slowly? Haven't seen enough? ”
I waved my hand, pointed to the skeletal head on the dune, and said, "Look, I found this!" ”
Kong Xue immediately covered her mouth and hid to the side after taking a closer look, Shi Tao carefully crawled over and looked, "It is not uncommon to find some bones in the desert, whether it is human bones or other animal bones. As he spoke, Shi Tao flipped the two skulls, frowned, and sighed, "Why are there only skulls!" ”
Shi Tao's words sounded like a thunderclap to me. Yes, that's right! These skulls do not have any other parts of the bones, and this situation should be the same as the skulls seen in Qilian Mountain and the ancient tombs on the island! That is, the same figure of skulls will appear here. If that's the case. This means that there are fourteen more skulls under the sand of this place.
When the skull pattern was discovered in Qilian Mountain, only me and Lantern Xiao were present, and Kong Xuehe asked Dorjee to take a different route. As for Shi Tao, he still remained in the Tibetan temple on the cliff. On the last trip to the island, Kong Xue and Shi Tao did not participate, so they had never seen this kind of skull pattern at all. Because of this, I can't appreciate the strangeness of this shape, and I'm afraid it's hard to understand my excitement at this time.
Shi Tao patted me gently, "Brother Zhuoran, let's go back first, if you stay here for too long, if you are seen by those below, it will be dangerous!" Let's go back first, tomorrow is dawn, and it's not too late for us to explore slowly. I knew what Shi Tao meant by "those below", so he nodded.
Kong Xue saw these skulls hiding aside, and she had long hoped to leave early. Seeing that Shi Tao and I had reached an agreement, he immediately turned around and slid down the dune.
Shi Tao nodded at me, and I nodded at him, so he also slid down. I hesitated, then decided to climb the dunes and head back to camp. At this moment, I suddenly remembered a scene in my mind, when we were on the island, after we found the skull figure, and before leaving, I secretly saw Wenmo drip his own blood into one of the skulls, and I still remember that those skulls were still glowing with a faint halo.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped into my heart, I wondered if I could also try to drip blood on the skulls, if they could also glow, it meant that they were the same as those skulls on the island, and even on the Qilian Mountain. But I also have some concerns in my heart, I don't know if such a blood-dripping method will cause any problems? But on second thought. Didn't Wenmo do the same in the first place? If something goes wrong, he won't do it, he won't make trouble for himself!
As soon as this thought came to my mind, I felt irrepressible, and I was a little surprised that my heart was so fanatical about this idea! Maybe my so-called scruples are nothing more than giving me more reasons to do it!
I made up my mind, and immediately turned back to the side of the skull, and I first turned to look at the figures with green lanterns under the dunes, who had already gone some distance by this time. I can't even make out the one at the front of the queue.
I don't think they can feel it at such a distance, even if there is some halo on the skull! However, I couldn't help complaining: "These zongzi are also going too slowly!" ”
I stopped looking at the dumplings, stared at the skull in front of me, was ruthless, put my finger in my mouth, and bit down hard. Immediately, there was a sharp pain in his hand. I held my finger up and saw that there was blood coming out, and I put my finger down and carefully dripped a drop of blood onto a skull.
And the moment my blood touched the skull, the two skulls that were exposed, along with the other fourteen skulls still buried under the sand, burst out with a strong red light!
I was immediately shocked and hurriedly retreated, and at the same time I turned my head in a panic to look at the dozen or so dumplings carrying lanterns under the sand dunes. I was shocked, and one of my feet didn't stand firmly, and I rolled down the dunes like a ball!
