Chapter 657: The Underworld
readx;? After walking two or three times, I walked out of a cave with the crooked door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are torches from beginning to end, so you won't lose sight of the road.
After coming out of the cave, I took a special look and found that there was a top top, and this whole cave was a big cave.
There are dotted lights in front of you.
I glanced at the crooked way, and the wrong way said, "Now I can be sure." ”
The two of us followed the lights and saw houses one after another, scattered on both sides of the passage, and the whole road was full of torches.
The doors were all open in these houses, but it was dark and nothing could be seen, and I didn't know if anyone was there.
The two of us did not take the main road for fear of being discovered, but bypassed from behind.
When I got around, I found that there seemed to be no one in the houses.
Courageously, I ran to the house with the crooked man first, and pulled out a torch from the road to illuminate it.
When I looked at it, I saw no one, but from inside I saw quilts, pots and pans, and some vegetables to eat.
If it's just a house, it may be left over from ancient times, but there are vegetables, pots and pans, and that's not to say.
The crooked way looked clear, and he seemed very excited to find this place.
Coming out of the house, we put the torches back onto the pillars beside the road and continued our walk.
As I walked, I made new discoveries, and I heard a burst of talking.
Following these voices, I saw a big tree in the sky.
The tree was very thick, and the branches were luxuriant, very tall, and it reached the top, and it was a little aggrieved.
And beside this tree, there were many people squatting at this time, and these people could roughly tell from their clothes that they should be those from the village.
I was a little delighted, and the crooked man hurriedly covered my mouth, and the two of us ran to a nearby place where it was not easy to be found, and he let go of my hand.
I asked him why he was holding me.
The crooked evil way snorted coldly: "Do you want to be discovered by that group of people?"
I reminded the crooked people that they were all people, and they were all people from the village.
The crooked way said that it knew and had seen it, but we can't find it yet, so let's take a look at it first.
I nodded, no objection, and the two of us leaned against the wall and looked out, and the group of people were kneeling in front of the tree.
At the foreground was a woman in a Taoist robe, and I could tell at a glance that it was none other than the woman in the village who had made everyone jump into the river.
This woman's face is exposed, but it's still too dark for me to see her face clearly.
The female Taoist priest was excitedly chanting something at this time, and the people in the village were also chanting something silently one by one, buzzing like chanting scriptures.
After a while, as the men meditated, a cross was lifted from the side, and two people were tied to the cross.
The two men, a man and a woman, seemed to be from the village.
I looked at it with a confused face, wondering, why are there still two people tied up.
I didn't hear what the female Taoist priest said, but as soon as she finished speaking, two men with knives walked up, and with an order, I saw the man with the knife lift the hands of the two people who were tied to the shelf, and then took the knife and slashed directly from the wrist.
In an instant, my blood spurted out, and my eyes widened.
The left hand was cut off, and the right hand was left, and the right hand was also stabbed.
Two were cut off, and blood splattered out.
Someone directly took a basin and followed it in front, and the man and woman on the shelf, because they couldn't bear the pain caused by the blood spurt, began to shake and struggle, but unfortunately the tie was very strong, and they couldn't break free even if they struggled.
Their expressions were very hideous, and they resisted very fiercely at first, but after a while, there was no movement.
The blood on his hands began to gradually change from splattering to flowing.
In the end, it was almost gone, and someone carried the two men down, and next to the tree were two basins of blood.
The woman spoke again to the villagers, who kowtowed to the tree.
After three knocks, the female Taoist priest ordered the blood to be poured on the tree.
After pouring all the blood out, the group of people prayed and dispersed, and I was stunned by the crooked ways.
After I reacted, the crooked way pulled me to the back.
After this group of people completely returned to their homes, I dared to come out with the crooked ways, but I was already stunned and stupid.
I stared at the crooked way, and found that the face of the crooked door was very ugly, and I didn't dare to speak.
When I came to the tree, the two basins of blood that had just been poured into it had disappeared at this time, but there was a red light flickering at the root of the tree.
The crooked way pinched a few tricks, and then wiped his eyes, and a flash of essence flashed in his eyes when he opened his eyes.
Soon the crooked sect frowned, this time the brow was very strong, as if something unthinkable.
I stared at him and couldn't say a word.
After a while, the crooked way dragged me away again, and we went to a deserted place in the cave and sat down.
Only then did I dare to ask what had just happened, what were those people doing, and why were they killing?
And why did the blood have to be poured on the tree, but it was only a blink of an eye, and the blood was gone.
I was very confused about this, and I didn't speak, so I asked him to speak, and he said, "They are sacrificing ghost babies." ”
I didn't understand this sentence, sacrifices are usually sacrificed by the dead, is the ghost baby dead?
Before I could get excited, I dispelled my thoughts and told me, "It's not dead. Instead, it is strengthening, just now I opened the eye of heaven and deliberately looked at the tree, and found that there was a large mass of black resentful spirits sucking blood in the tree. ”
I stared at the crooked way in disbelief.
The crooked sect continued: "This is the reason why the blood fell on this tree and disappeared in the blink of an eye. ”
I asked, "Sucked away by the spirit?"
The crooked evil man nodded, and I asked the crooked evil way how he knew that the evil spirit was a ghost baby and not something else?
The crooked evil way explained that if there are other resentful spirits here, the compass will definitely give guidance, but the compass actually does not fluctuate in this regard, which means that there is only one resentful spirit here, that is, the ghost baby.
The explanation makes sense, and I sighed.
Suddenly thinking of the female Taoist priest just now, I asked the crooked sect suspiciously: "If there is a ghost baby hidden in that tree, why did the female Taoist priest spend so much effort to help him?"
There are two possibilities for the crooked explanation, the first is that there is a deal between two people.
For example, a female Taoist priest helps the ghost baby to cultivate, and the ghost baby helps the female Taoist priest to complete a certain need.
Of course, this is very unlikely.
Not to mention whether the old witch will agree, if the ghost baby wants to cultivate, he can't do it at all, and he has to find someone to help him cultivate, so it doesn't make sense.
I asked what could be the wrong way?
The crooked heresy explained: "Another possibility is that the female Taoist priest has a connection with the ghost baby, and it is a crucial connection, and the ghost baby helps the ghost baby in her control as if she were helping herself." ”
Although the crooked and heretical words are not clear, they have basically pointed to a person.
This person is the old witch.
I told him my conjecture, and the crooked man nodded: "That's right, it's the old witch." ”
I wondered for a moment, thinking that it still didn't feel right, why did the old witch wear a Taoist priest's costume? I had never seen her wear a Taoist priest's costume when I was in my hometown.
The crooked and evil way stared at me like a fool: "This is very simple, how can these people believe her words if she doesn't dress up?" These villagers are in the deep mountains and old forests, and they don't have much contact with the outside world, and they don't know what the outside is like, as long as the old witch shows her hands casually, these people will think that the gods have descended, and they are saying some good things, and these people will naturally believe it." ”
Obviously, the old witch has the capital to do this.
I nodded clearly, thinking of what I saw in some film and television dramas, where the people there were like this, all dressed as Taoist priests or monks.
Those who don't know think that they are high-ranking monks, high-ranking people, and those who know know that they are just a group of charlatans.
My fists clenched tightly, and I felt the urge to slaughter the old witch.
Before, with the help of the old man and the old toad, when she caught her, she kept telling us that she was in the secret room of their house, but in fact, she took the opportunity to slip away and run to such a place to continue cultivating.
I don't think it's the ghost baby, it's the old witch, she's the most disgusting person.
When I think of the old witch, I have to think of Xia Xiao, this girl has a lot of responsibility for deceiving us, but I didn't see her.
I asked what to do next? Do you get the tree, or do you get the old witch?
The crooked way explained that you can't get the tree, and you can't get the old witch.
Since the old witch can act, he can also act, and if you want to solve this matter, you must first take back the hearts of these old villagers.
Otherwise, if we forcibly cut down the tree, not only will it not succeed, but it may also involve human life, because it is impossible for these villagers to agree to cut down the tree.
I nodded, and I didn't deny that.
The crooked way asked me to come with him, and we secretly ran back, and when we got to the place of the well, the crooked way wanted to climb up, and I asked him what he was going to do.
The crooked and evil way explained that if he wanted to buy the villagers, he had to dress up well.
I stared at the well and couldn't see it at a glance, and I felt a little uneasy in my heart, and asked how I could go up so high.
The crooked sect pointed to the wall of the well and said, "You can climb up from here." ”
I saw that there were climbing steel rings on the wall of the well, which could be stepped on or pulled.
The crooked way climbed up first, and I followed behind my ass.
He actually didn't want me to go back with him, just stay here, but I don't know if these people would suddenly come here.
He's fine here, but if he hadn't been here, wouldn't it be troublesome for me to get caught?
