Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Sacrificial Eyeball
I looked at it and shook my head, I didn't have a clue at all, the second uncle didn't seem to have any ideas, but Wenmo kept staring at the mud ball in a daze, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
I walked over and asked, "Wenmo, did you have something in mind?" ”
Hearing me ask, Lantern Xiao also came over, "Boss, do you know what this is?" ”
Wen Mo shook his head slightly, "I can't say the specifics, but I just guess, judging from the taste and the shape of the outside, combined with some clues we found before, I speculate that what is sealed in these mud balls should be human eyeballs!" ”
Wenmo's words made us all stunned, I was looking at the mud balls and the stinking black water on the ground next to me, and suddenly I felt a little nauseous.
Lantern Xiao also showed a disgusting expression, "This ancient ancestor is perverted, what are you doing with so many eyeballs!" ”
The second uncle opened his mouth and said: "Sealing the eyeballs with mud, and then covering such a stone pile on top of it, is obviously a form of sacrifice. ”
Lantern Xiao glared, "What kind of god is this enshrined?" Even with eyeballs as a tribute? ”
The second uncle looked at us, "You should have all heard the legend of Nuwa creating people, this is because people in ancient times did not know the theory of evolution, they felt that the human skin was soft and yellow, like soil, so they imagined the story of Nuwa creating people, but there is only one part, unlike clay, that is the eyes, so the ancients would think that after Nuwa used clay to make a good human body, she used divine power to give human beings bright eyes, so in ancient times, the meaning of eyes to people was different. ”
Lantern Xiao sneered, "It's been a long time, and the eyeballs are still expensive gifts in ancient times!" However, this legend is not reliable, not only the eyes, but also the hair does not look like mud! ”
The second uncle opened his mouth and scolded: "You little bastard, raise the bar!" Then go and talk to the ancients! ”
When Lantern Xiao saw that the second uncle's face was displeased, he smiled again and again, "Second uncle, I'll play around with your old man, don't you mind." ”
I asked a little strangely: "Second Uncle is not right, since the meaning of eyes was so different in ancient times, then why have I never heard of a record of sacrificing with eyes in history?" ”
The second uncle said: "In fact, this relatively cruel and barbaric way of sacrifice has been improved in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period with the progress of people's civilization later, and it is even rarer after the Han Dynasty. However, if you talk about it, this kind of sacrifice is also related to the object of sacrifice. ”
"The object of the sacrifice?" I couldn't help but bow my head in contemplation.
The second uncle looked at me and said, "Don't forget that god with special eyes!" ”
I turned my head suddenly, "Second uncle, are you referring to Ali Merk's instigation?" ”
The second uncle smiled, "I'm not sure about this yet, but it's very likely!" ”
A huge mystery suddenly surged in my heart, if it was Ali Mok instigated here, why was the ancient country of Shan Huan thousands of miles away also enshrined by Ali Mok, at that time, a belief culture would not spread so far away, and besides, one was the deepest part of the 100,000 mountains, and the other was the center of the vast desert.
If we confirm that the god enshrined here is the instigation of Ali Merk, then I can be sure that there must be some special connection between this place and the ancient kingdom of Shanhuan, but what is this special connection between them?
I looked at the second uncle in front of me, and I almost couldn't help but ask the question in my heart, but I remembered what the second uncle said to me alone outside the sinkhole just now, and I couldn't help it again. I looked at Wenmo next to my second uncle again. Wen Mo seemed to be very heavy at this time, and he had been frowning slightly thinking about something, this is the first time I have seen him in this state. Although I was curious about what he was thinking, I knew that his personality was like another form of teapot cooking dumplings, and if he didn't want to "open the lid" you would never be able to ask anything! I don't want to be bored.
Looking at the many spire piles in front of us, now we know that there are some people's eyes buried in them. The thought of this gives me goosebumps all over my body.
At this time, the second uncle beckoned: "Okay, these stone piles have been figured out, let's move on," as he said, the second uncle looked around, "Okay, let's go, this fog has become thicker again!" ”
After the second uncle said this, I also found that the fog that had begun to fade just now began to fade, and I don't know when, it began to be thick again.
The second uncle looked around, chose a direction, and took the lead in walking, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head to us and said, "Hey! Attention guys! You must keep up, otherwise in such a foggy day in such a jungle, once you are scattered, it will be difficult to find! ”
Lantern Xiao said as he walked: "Hey, I think we must improve our level of science and technology equipment next time, you said that we can only rely on walking this way, this is easy to understand, after all, they are all mountain roads, but this communication can only rely on roaring, it is a bit miserable." ”
Anaduo was next to Lantern Xiao, and couldn't help but glance at him, "A big man is crooked, I haven't said anything to a woman, and besides, doesn't the Yuan family's team have no communication equipment?" ”
"The Yuan family is different, everyone has it, but there was an accident and it can't be used, we don't have it at all." Lantern Xiao said.
I said, "What's wrong with the lack of communication equipment, let's go all the way down." We can use our mouths without equipment, and I see that the communication relies on yelling, which is also very good. ”
Lantern Xiao sneered, "It's good to roar?" Saying that, Lantern Xiao suddenly shouted, I was next to him, unprepared, startled, and immediately scolded: "You TM call a fart!" Scare Lao Tzu! ”
Lantern Xiao smiled, "Look, this is so infiltrating!" ”
The second uncle in front turned around and scolded: "What are you doing!" Is it sick! Do you know what strange things are going to be in this forest? What's the matter, you want to shout over and have fun? ”
Lantern Xiao said indifferently, "I said second uncle, you are too careful, I know that your old man is worried about attracting other people over, if you want me to say, just bring it over, I want to see if he is a human or a ghost!" ”
The second uncle snorted, "You kid is simply a reckless man, what if it's not human!" ”
The characteristics of Lantern Xiao's broken mouth resurfaced, "It's not a person, what can it be, or can it be a ghost ......"
Before Lantern Xiao finished speaking, Wen Mo suddenly stretched out his hand like lightning and pinched Yuan Xiao's chin, and the second half of Yuan Xiao's sentence was strangled by Wen Mo in his mouth.
