Chapter 129
If it were royalty, this altar would be a bit too abrupt.
But if it's a patriarch or a chieftain, this ever-bright light is a bit unreasonable.
Thinking about it, looking at some of the artifacts in front of him, he still had no clue.
My mind was suddenly in a mess, so I simply stopped thinking and asked my aunt directly about the situation of this tomb, after all, she had been here before, so she must have known something.
According to my aunt's recollection, she said that the tomb we were in was not royalty, nor was it a patriarch, and most importantly, it was not a human tomb.
In other words, such a luxurious tomb, there are not people buried here!
At that time, when I heard that there was no one buried here, my heart "chuckled".
The heart said that digging this tomb, and putting so many permanent lanterns, is it not a person who is buried? Could it be a "divine beast?" ","Kirin"?
Sure enough, although this tomb is not for burying "divine beasts", it is not a good one!
Listening to my aunt talk about the structure of this tomb, there are nine transepts in this tomb, and one main chamber.
These nine ear chambers are all connected to the main burial chamber, wrapping the main burial chamber in the middle, forming a protective circle, of course, it also means that ninety-nine are one.
There are nine ear chambers, each of which has a strange-looking, lethal creature, which sounds like a creature, but is actually a group of miscellaneous creatures.
Nine burial chambers, nine altars, each of which houses a living being.
According to the thinking of the ancients, whether it is a human or an animal, after death, there will be a soul to ascend.
As long as the dying body is sacrificed, then the soul will always reside in the tomb and become the soul of the tomb keeper, or the nourishment of the sacrificed.
Nine burial chambers and nine altars mean that nine creatures were sacrificed.
These nine creatures seem to be in different burial chambers, but when they are sacrificed, the ultimate purpose is for the main burial chamber.
And my aunt also said that the main burial chamber is actually an altar, but the scale and format are much larger than these ear chambers.
To put it simply, instead of going down to the tomb, we entered a massive altar.
All the ear chambers lead to the main burial chamber, which can be understood as the dead souls are introduced into the main burial chamber and become tomb keepers, or nutrients.
So who is in this main burial chamber?
So much so that nine different kinds are needed to make offerings?
I looked closely, and the altar in front of me was very complex.
From a distance, only a lone cross can be seen.
But when you walk in, you can see a skeleton that has been decapitated and falls to its knees.
Beneath the skeleton, there was a groove that resembled a channel, only three fingers wide and about five centimeters deep.
The channel is long, and one leads into the wall, through the wall, to the next unknown place.
I stared at the channel, as if I was going to lead some liquid somewhere.
Then I told my aunt what I had guessed.
I didn't expect to guess that it was right!
My aunt said that the name of this channel is called, the blood channel.
It is specially used to drain blood to other places.
She also said that the sacrifice method of this tomb is different from what she usually encounters.
Ordinary sacrifice is to sacrifice and kill things or creatures that need to be sacrificed to bless oneself, grandchildren, and family members with peace and security.
But this is not the way of the sacrifice, and they will bring out a woman who is still pure from among all the women.
And so the flesh and blood were used as part of the sacrifice.
They first let the "sacrifice" be cleaned, and the picture is a sincere and innocent.
Then a quick knife will be used, dipped in spirits, and the head of the "sacrifice" will be cut off!
Immediately, blood gushed out, down the body, in the gold channel, and then into the main burial chamber.
According to my aunt's description, this beheading is a unique way of "opening sacrifices"!
I didn't know what "opening the sacrifice" meant, but I only learned from my aunt.
The so-called "opening sacrifice" is a form before the sacrificial ceremony begins, and only after this form is completed can the sacrifice really begin.
Anyway, my understanding is that it's similar to an appetizer at dinner, except that it's a human sacrifice!
I looked at the head that had rolled down to the corner of the altar, it was already a skull.
It can be seen from the flush knife edge that when I cut again, there was no stop, and there was no mercy.
Those two black eye holes, looking in the direction of his body, were so helpless and miserable.
Perhaps this woman was very frightened and heartbroken at that time, but to no avail, she could only be slaughtered and watched her head separate.
Such a cruel and inhumane way of sacrifice is not uncommon in the long river of history.
It's all for some invisible, inaudible bullshit beliefs, cannibalism against the same kind, and reckless behavior!
As for what is the main burial chamber for?
My aunt didn't say it clearly, and as far as she recalled, she was stunned by an unknown smell not long after she entered the main burial chamber.
When she woke up again, she had already been taken out by Zhang Tianyi, and she didn't know what was going on.
The only thing that is clear is that in the center of this main burial chamber, there is a blood-red golden silk nanmu coffin!
The color was as red as blood, as red as a basin of blood that had just been splashed, and it also exuded a faint fishy smell.
My aunt said that the golden silk nanmu coffin was very weird, not only did it not rot after thousands of years, but the color was also extraordinarily bright, as if someone had been wiping the coffin.
In the huge tomb, a blood-red coffin "stands" in the tomb, terrifying! Uncanny! Thriller!!!
As for why I said "standing" instead of putting it, it was because my aunt said that the coffin was hanging in the air, about a meter from the ground.
The coffin was tightly wrapped around the coffin with an iron chain, so that it hung firmly on the ground.
When I heard my aunt say that the coffin was being hung, three words suddenly flashed through my mind.
"Hanging coffin burial"!
"Hanging coffin burial", as the name suggests, is a burial method of hanging the coffin in the air, and its purpose is twofold, one is to isolate the moisture, slow down the decay of the coffin, and protect the body.
Another is that there are evil creatures lying in this coffin, not people!
Because whether it is ancient or today, people will be buried in the ground, using the way of burial.
It is hoped that the coffin will be in contact with the ground, so that the heroic spirit of the deceased can be brought into the ground.
And once the coffin is hung, it is a sign of ominous signs.
It's either an evil thing, or a freak, or it's a human species lying inside, not a human species.
There is no other explanation.
As I was pondering, I heard an "oops" behind me, and when I heard the movement, I hurriedly turned my head.
I saw the fat man covering his head and shaking painfully on the ground.
"Fatty!"
I shouted, and then hurried to the fat man, asking him about his physical condition and checking his head.
After making sure that there were no injuries, I was relieved, and the fat man screamed a few times in pain, and lay on the ground panting, no big problem, just frightened.
Then I asked him how he got here and got here.
The fat man didn't reply immediately, he shook his head, his face was very pale, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he looked very painful.
Seeing him like this, I didn't continue to ask, and after waiting for a while, the fat man's face gradually returned to normal, and then he slowly opened his mouth.
It turned out that the fat man was going to go to the toilet at that time, and when he went to the toilet, a rabbit suddenly came out of the grass on the side.
The fat man was playful, and of course he wanted to give us some game, so he set out to chase the rabbit.
He didn't care about his feet, so he chased after them.
Limping and chasing, the fat man's eyes suddenly darkened, and he couldn't see anything, and when he saw it again.
The fat man found that his body was no longer uncontrollable, and he walked automatically like a machine.
As I suspected, the fat man was conscious and very conscious, but he just couldn't control his body.
He can only rely on the only remaining consciousness to manipulate his body with difficulty, leaving us some important marks.
According to the fat man's description, he walked into this tomb through a bush, and after entering this tomb, he met my aunt.
Originally, the fat man wanted to say hello, but his body was uncontrollable, and he wanted to speak, but he found that he couldn't say it at all, and then he called my aunt directly.
In the end, I was knocked unconscious by the stones I accidentally threw down.
The next one walked all the way into this ear room, fainted on the ground, and just woke up.
After listening to what the fat man said, he must have no idea what was in this tomb and what structure it was.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the person is okay, the rest is a trivial matter.
Then the fat man reached out to me and motioned for me to help him up.
I helped him to stand up tremblingly, and the fat man's whole body was trembling, as if he would lose his strength in the next second, and the whole person fell to the ground.
I hugged him, but I didn't expect that just a few seconds after I stood up, he threw me away, and I thought he was okay and could walk normally.
But I never expected that after he threw me away, he immediately walked quickly to the lanterns.
staring at the ever-bright lantern with a wealth in his eyes, it seems that at this moment, he has already thought about a happy life of selling the ever-bright lamp.
Looking at his look of being a wealth obsessed, I was speechless for a while, gave him a blank look, and said in my heart that I would have known that the fat man was still like this.
I shouldn't have been in such a hurry to save him, I was still hallucinating, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I became!
Thinking about it, he saw that the fat man's heart was full of thieves, he rubbed his hands, swallowed his saliva, and then took off the lantern and carefully checked the patterns on it.
Seeing this, my aunt hurriedly reprimanded loudly:
"Don't take it! Put it down! ”
