Chapter Thirty-Eight, The Abyss

The whole stone staircase is about 200 meters long, and the angle of inclination is about 30 degrees, and when the entire stone chamber is displayed in front of us, it is a grand project from the ancient epic level.

I've never seen such a ghostly ruin, it's not a basement at all, it's a real underground ruin, and although it's been so old and many places around it have been eroded by time, there's no doubt that it was once as brilliant as a palace.

This is a dusty ancient ruins, the whole ruins room is extremely wide, the stout stone pillars are propped up in the middle, the diameter is nearly three meters, what is this concept, at least three people need to hold hands to surround a stone pillar, and here, there are at least more than 30 stone pillars, the most terrifying thing is that these stone pillars are all built of white marble, so the whole stone pillar is also very smooth and complete until now, because the marble is resistant to corrosion, and the surface is smooth.

There are many advantages of marble, but there are also disadvantages, such as being very heavy, very difficult to transport, and hard texture, difficult to process, etc., but everything that is shown in front of me completely negates my idea, this relic must have been done by many, many people, and there must have been very good craftsmen who could carve and process marble.

"The tools that can be carved on marble must at least be metal tools, and the scale is so large, I am afraid that even the tools will have to be mass-produced."

While the rest of us were shocked by the buildings around us, the next thing that shocked us was that something happened.

Between the stone stairs, there is a large pit with a diameter of nearly thirty meters, the pit is densely filled with bones, these bones are all human bones, countless rotting insects absorb nutrients from these bones, and they are full of poisonous insects, at least I saw a huge centipede with the thickness of a human arm, and even on the corpses of dead people, there are some strange plants, these plants are all blue, and they look very weird.

We couldn't see the height of this huge pit from this vantage point, but just looking at this posture, we thought that at least tens of thousands of people had died here.

This is a veritable mass grave!

Mass graves, mass graves, I want to slaughter hundreds of thousands of people in vain back then, and be called the god of human slaughter, but in the end, Bai Qi himself will not die well.

The overlord Xiang Yu, who has also killed countless people, is known as having the power to lift the throne and cover the world, and buried more than 200,000 Qin prisoners alive in a fit of anger, and it is not good to die.

The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant, and the sins of thousands of people are deepened, and it is even more difficult for the gods to be saved.

At this time, we saw that the sides of these huge pits were engraved with Taoist mantras, which were first engraved on stone tablets and then painted with cinnabar.

Cinnabar is an extreme yang thing, it is to restrain ghosts and evils, so many people have died here, with cinnabar, with incantations, obviously this is to suppress these dead souls,

The murderer also knew that these souls would inevitably find their lives after death, so he directly imprisoned these souls here, so that they could never turn over.

"Killing so many people and suppressing them with Taoist talismans, what is this trying to do?"

At this time, I noticed that there were many stone statues around me, all of which were serpent-headed human beings, holding scepters and respectfully facing the top of the stone staircase.

The snake head is the image of Fuxi in ancient China, indicating that these people also believed in the gods of ancient times.

The current horrific situation tells us very clearly that this is a sacrifice.

A sacrifice slaughtered more than 10,000 people, but it was only a sacrificial position, there was only one platform, and there was no sacrificial object.

There are traces of gold dust on the outside of this platform, but now it has turned black-brown, but even so you can see that it must have been very luxurious and exquisite, the lines on it are extremely exquisite, the minimum grain interval is close to 0.5mm, very fine, it is carefully carved by craftsmen, a platform, the technique used is completely different from the surrounding buildings, obviously this platform has some kind of significance.

There was a coffin on it, but the contents of the coffin were gone, and the lid of the coffin was open.

Ye Xin suddenly made a bold guess and said, "Do you think it's possible that the things in here have come to life?" ”

"Maybe the goddess is actually this thing!"

Speculations that are often more unexpected and frightening are closer to the truth.

Although Ye Xin's guess is unreasonable, and there is no logic, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that this middle is magically coherent, if the goddess is the object of sacrifice in this mass grave, then she knows how to use the ghost domain to deceive the heavens, trap the villagers with the trapping formation, and use the ignorance of the villagers to sacrifice herself, all of which are incredibly reasonable.

"I agree."

Lethe, who had been silent most of the time, suddenly spoke.

The thief also showed a thoughtful look, and muttered: "It is indeed very reasonable, although there are many uncertainties in this answer, but when I think about it this way, this goddess is really unusual, such a powerful person suddenly appeared in a village, it is really unreasonable, I estimate that the reason why she came to the village is that nine times out of ten it is because this place is under the village, and she came to the village as soon as she recovered, but although she recovered, her strength was not complete, so she deceived these villagers and asked them to sacrifice for her." ”

My eyes were a little complicated, and said: "I guess it's more than that, it is written in the diary that there is a road to the outside world where the goddess lives, and this road should indeed be right, and the goddess should use this road to leave in the end, but what makes me feel a little strange is that since this goddess is sacrificed in a mass grave, she should be an evil thing herself."

After she goes out, she will definitely let more people sacrifice for her, which should kill a lot of people, but she didn't, so there are only two reasons, one reason is that she no longer needs to sacrifice, and she is already very satisfied with her strength, and the other reason is a little scary, that is, she may have never left here. ”

After saying this, my whole body suddenly felt a little creepy.

If she hadn't left, then most likely, she had been watching us in the shadows and we never found out!

It's shocking, it's scary to think about it, if you think about it like this, then all our next moves may be deliberately done by the other party.

In other words, it is possible that she brought us here on purpose.

But if this might be true, why did she do it, she should have had many chances to kill us, why did she bring us here?

What exactly is her purpose?

I felt like I was caught in an invisible net that had been laid for an unknown amount of time, and it was full of the rotten smell of the times.
