068 - Shaman Dog's Head
Biqu Pavilion ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Chinese Onmyoji!
In this kind of strange hole, where do we dare to touch things of unknown origin, as soon as she saw the black fog rising, Bai Wei hurriedly dragged Yang Zuosheng back in a panic, and then said to everyone: "Have you rested enough?" Continue on your way. ”
Bai Wei gave an order, everyone quickly packed up and continued to explore along the new tunnel, relatively speaking, this tunnel is much narrower than the previous vertical downward tunnel, the height can be about three meters, and the width is only enough for three people to advance side by side.
When we walked forward, we took a flashlight and looked at the cave wall, strangely, the cave wall was smooth and complete, as if it was artificially polished, not at all like a natural cave formed by weathering, and the further we went, the more firm our judgment became, because on the cave walls on both sides, strange relief patterns began to appear.
"This can't be a cemetery, right?"
As she walked, Bai Wei frowned and muttered to herself: "No, who would build a cemetery in such a deep mountain?" Could it be that you have discovered some little-known mysterious underground palace? ”
We continued to walk along the cave for dozens of meters, and the winding snake-shaped cave suddenly became wider, less depressed by the narrow space, and our mood improved a lot, but Bai Wei held the compass and watched it from time to time, not daring to relax at all.
Walking and walking, the fifth master, who was walking in the front to explore the way, suddenly stopped, and gasped in his mouth, and when the rest of us saw it, they all quickly stopped, copied the shovel and knife, and asked vigilantly: "Fifth master, what's wrong?" ”
"Look at the ...... ahead"
The fifth master came to his senses, took a flashlight and shone into the cave in front of him, and suddenly saw a huge grimace hideously, blocking the end of the road.
When we first saw it, we were all shocked, but then we looked closely, and it was a stone sculpture carved on the wall, a grimace stone sculpture.
The ghost stared, with a pointed nose and a tiger's mouth, and three horns on his head, which looked extremely hideous and terrifying, and lifelike, fortunately there were many of us, otherwise, at first glance, he would have been scared half to death.
And the grimace stone sculpture was in front of it, just completely blocking the way forward, but when we got closer and took a closer look, the bloody mouth on the grimace was actually hollowed out, and the mouth was a small black hole, enough for a person to squat down and get into it.
We had the courage to approach the grimace, and took a flashlight to study it carefully, when we saw Bai Wei suddenly startled, pointed to the three scratches on the corners of the grimace's mouth and said, "You see, this trace was carved with a dagger, and the stone slag is still there, it should be a freshly carved ......."
"Is it a white dragon?"
As soon as the fifth master spoke, Bai Wei nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that my brother also thought that we would definitely come down, so he specially left traces for us to make it easier to track ......."
Speaking of this, Bai Wei leaned into the grimace's mouth, took a flashlight and shone it, and said, "This is another vertical tunnel, and I don't know how deep this broken place is......"
As soon as he heard this, Yang Zuosheng said timidly: "Little master, do we want to get in?" It's a bit cautious to get into the ghost's mouth......"
"But you have to come down, and it's too late to regret it now."
Bai Wei looked back and smiled, then got out of the ghost's mouth, took out a small dagger and began to squat on the wall and pick at the wall, cut off a few pieces of gravel slag and stuffed it into his mouth and began to refuse, and then frowned and said: "I deliberately measured it with a compass when I came, and the location of this cave is in the positive yin position in the sixty-four hexagrams, and the soil is mainly alkaline soil and limestone, and the inside of this grimace's mouth should be a piece of yin land......
"To the underworld? What is that? I asked.
"The most yin land is the place where yin qi is the heaviest ......"
Bai Wei took out the candle from the satchel as she spoke, lit it and placed it in front of the ghost's open mouth of blood, and signaled the rest of us not to make a sound, not to move, after two or three minutes, I saw that the flame of the candle began to shake slightly, Bai Wei sighed and said: "The candle flame is slightly outward, indicating that there is an air flow leaking out in the depths of the cave, the air gathers into the wind, and the wind is born and the water rises, there must be water in this cave, the yin land dies when the water dies, and the yang land sees the water live; Yang people enter the yin land, and ten people lose their lives. No wonder my brother is so nervous, it seems that this place is indeed more dangerous than we thought......"
As she spoke, Bai Wei asked me to hand her the hiking bag that contained the things that were used in the future, and I saw that she turned out a candle, a roll of fishing line and three sticks of incense from it, and after the incense candle was combined, Bai Wei wrapped it whole with a fishing line, and began to hang the incense candle with a fishing line along the ghost's mouth, and the swaying candlelight instantly illuminated the surrounding cave walls, and it didn't take long to go down to the bottom of the cave.
Bai Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said silently: "The cave is thirty-six meters deep, and there is oxygen underneath, which can enter people." ”
After saying this, Bai Wei asked me to take out a nylon rope about forty meters long, and nailed an iron peg on the ground first, and after tying the rope to the iron peg at one end, I threw the whole bundle of rope into the hole, and then took the lead and began to go down the hole, and several of us lined up in order to follow.
Because there is the light of candles at the bottom of the cave, this time we were scared much faster than before, and after a while, everyone was all on the ground, and then used a flashlight to look ahead, and there was a zigzag endless cave road ahead, no way, everyone could only continue to walk forward, while walking, Bai Wei also asked me to use a dagger to make a mark on the cave wall, so as not to forget the way I came.
We walked along the cave road not far away, and Bai Wei and the fifth master, who led the way, suddenly stopped their steps, and heard the fifth master pointing to the cave in front of him and asked in a panic: "Little master, then, what is that?" ”
Everyone quickly picked up the flashlight and shone forward, borrowing the light pillar of the flashlight, only to see that there was a bunch of red things in the middle of the cave ten meters away from us in front of us, and then we got closer to take a look, we were all startled, the pile of red things, it turned out to be hundreds of rotten monsters neatly arranged like a pyramid, and the black erosive eye holes on each monster head were facing us, as if they were staring at us in unison......
Seeing that everyone was panicking, Bai Wei hurriedly waved her hand to signal everyone to calm down, and then stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid, these are dog heads, and they look like they are some years old, but because the stone in the cave is mainly alkaline lime, these dog heads are not easy to rot, so they have become what they are now......
As she spoke, Bai Wei began to squat in front of the pile of dog heads and studied it carefully, and I hurried over and asked, "Bai Wei, who would put such a thing in the hole?" Could it be that someone is playing a prank and deliberately scary? ”
But Bai Wei shook her head and said thoughtfully: "It's the first time I've seen this thing, but I've really heard Sister Yang mention it before......
"Second Immortal Gu?" I asked.
Bai Wei nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Huang mentioned to me a strange shaman formation before, very similar to the one in front of us, if this is really a dog's head formation, things will be bad......"
Then Bai Wei told us that the so-called 'dog head array' is a kind of sacrificial witchcraft of the northern shamanism in the old age, which is used to suppress the evil and avoid evil, and drive away evil spirits, and it is necessary to kill 285 black dogs in this array, and the severed dog heads are stacked into nine layers with the number of 81/64/49/36/25/16/9/4/1, and the formation is considered successful after being poured with dog blood and chanted by the shaman.
Because it is too bloody and the formation project is huge, this formation is rarely spread among the people, but in the pre-Qing Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty puppet Manchukuo period when shamanism prevailed, it was very popular among the imperial nobles, especially in the last years of the Qing Dynasty.
After listening to Bai Wei's words, I asked suspiciously: "Since this kind of witchcraft is very rare, who would arrange it in this cave that does not see the light of day?" Also, you said that the formation was used by the ancients to suppress evil and avoid disasters and drive away evil spirits, could it be that someone wants to use it to suppress or drive away something? ”
As soon as I spoke, everyone fell silent, even Bai Wei frowned and stopped talking.
And at this moment, the fifth master, who had been observing the surrounding environment, suddenly exclaimed-
"Look at the wall...... Someone ......"
If you see the refreshing, you will go to the [apex.]
