Chapter 37, The Land of Sacrifice
After my injuries were healed, the solemn expressions on the faces of the others gradually eased a little.
In this case, it is not a good sign to bring someone with you.
The thief glanced at my arm and said, "Fortunately, I only hurt my arm, and I can still walk on my own, otherwise the road will only be more difficult." ”
With a vague smile, he said: "But boy, I admire your courage, although it is beautiful to say that heroes save the United States, but not everyone dares to do it, you dare to risk losing an arm to save other people's sisters, I respect you, you are worthy of being the descendants of the Li family, they are not bad seeds, and they have a future." ”
Lao Huang patted me on the shoulder and said, "Well, from a Taoist point of view, you have done a good job in this matter. ”
I thought to myself: "Can I not save it, Ye Xin and I have a good relationship, as a man who has been single for so long, watching a beautiful little beauty is about to be ruined on his face, who can watch this, but to be honest, it really hurts this time." ”
After a little hiccup, we continued to move on, and in the process the mountain quies kept harassing us, but fortunately, because the cave was getting more and more crowded at the back, and there were almost no forks in the road, it was difficult for them to attack us as they had done before.
As we went deeper, the ground became more and more wet, and there seemed to be an underground river not far away, and the water soaked the soil here.
Because it goes too deep, the air inside is still a little thinner than outside, and many of us experience a feeling similar to altitude sickness.
Dizziness and ringing in the ears, difficulty breathing, and even the urge to vomit, but the stench in the air told us that we were not far from our destination.
After about twenty minutes of walking, the water on the ground was already outrageous, and it had already submerged our feet.
Looking ahead, I secretly sighed in my heart: "Where does this lead?" ”
"Twenty minutes of walking, such a long cave, isn't this goddess tired of walking?"
After about ten more minutes of walking, suddenly there was a light in front of me, and it was no longer pitch black.
The entrance to the cave leads to a room, which clearly has traces of human design, the surrounding walls are very flat, and they are all made of huge stone slabs, which are not easy to collapse, and the stone slabs are very tight, blocking the infiltration of groundwater, making the place look much drier than the outside.
We walked into the room, which was not a room, it looked like a basement, and in the room a huge cow skull was placed between the shelves of wooden sticks, and then a large iron basin was erected underneath, and the large iron basin was extremely scarlet, and the blood clots coagulated into blood clots, and it still stinked after today.
There were also many bonfires and some cruel knives, and there were many jars, and the jars were full of discarded human bones, and all the flesh and blood on these bones had been scraped off with these knives, and these jars were placed together at random, about sixty or seventy, and each jar contained one or two corpses.
We thought that this basement was very small, but when we went all the way to the back, we realized that we were very wrong, it turned out that our current position was standing at the highest point of the entire basement, and behind this altar, there was a stone staircase, this staircase was four meters wide, the length of which was invisible to the naked eye, and went diagonally down, as if leading to hell, and there were basins on the left and right of this stone staircase, and these basins were braziers, and they were all burned ashes.
As we reached the top of the stone staircase, a huge stench rose from below, almost fainting us.
The thief was the first in front, dizzy from the smell, and scolded in a delirious sense: ", how many people have died in this Nima?" ”
Lao Huang frowned and said, "Go down and have a look." ”
A few of us covered our noses and began to walk down, Lechuan and I walked at the back, after all, we were two wounded, even if she was weak, she was already walking very gracefully and very demure.
She said lightly: "How? Does it still hurt? ”
My face was a little pale because I could perceive the blood still oozing through the gauze, and there was something wrong with the thing's claws, and my wound was still not fully healed.
I shook my head and said, "It doesn't hurt." ”
"It's pretending that it doesn't hurt, and you don't tell the truth?"
Her gaze fell on my arm, making a slight wave.
I grimaced and said, "Well, it does hurt. ”
"Well deserved."
She was still calm, but I could hear an anger in her tone.
"Save your own life first, and then think about other people's lives."
She was dissatisfied with my behavior of saving Ye Xin regardless of my own comfort.
However, at that moment, there was so much time for me to choose, and if I hesitated, the opportunity would be lost, so I don't think my choice was wrong.
It's just that from Lethe's point of view, my choice is not good for me, but she looks at this matter differently, because for her, I am obviously more important than Ye Xin.
She also expects me to master the contents of the Feng Shui forbidden book in the future to help her.
I didn't answer, just silent, but I knew in my heart that if I was given another chance to choose, I would still choose to save Ye Xin.
Because there is time to choose, if I hesitated for a second, I wouldn't even have a chance to choose, and the result would only be that Ye Xin would be hurt more.
Even if this choice is unfavorable, it is more advantageous for us as a group.
I half-jokingly said, "She's so pretty, what a pity that she has that paw on her face." ”
Lethe glared at me.
"What's the matter, pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? Enough to hold on? Or do you have a crush on someone? ”
I almost didn't stand firm and rolled down the stone ladder directly, and hurriedly sloppy and said, "Don't guess, I like people, and people don't look down on me, I don't know what kind of virtue I have?" ”
Although Ye Xin is very beautiful, I do have such a disgraced idea, but aren't all boys like this, seeing beautiful women have a feeling of being ready to move, not to mention that I have been single for so long, but there is a white spirit by my side, and there is an inexplicable curse on my body, how dare I like others, I only dare to maintain a longing, occasionally enjoy the scenery, and never have that kind of thought.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she said, "It seems that you are quite self-aware." ”
Her words really hurt my self-esteem, uncle, although I also know that this is the truth, but when it comes out of her mouth, it is like a knife.
I replied angrily: "I said that you have lived so long, why are you so prickly when you speak... What about harshness? ”
She still kept a faint smile and smiled without saying a word.
