Chapter 61: Renrui? Leader!
Xu Jinxiu shrank back, "It's okay." ”
I saw that her lips were a little blue, so I turned my back and turned my back to Xu Jinxiu, "Lean on, I don't know how long I'm going to stay here." ”
I couldn't see the expression on Xu Jinxiu's face, but I could clearly feel her body stiffen, hesitate for a while, and then stick to my back.
The further inside the cart goes, the cooler it gets, and the more things are laid out inside.
There were countless red papers floating on the dark river, and on both sides of the road were two rows of long red wax, and the red candle liquid that flowed out after the long wax melted added to the color.
As we got inside, we all frowned.
On both sides of the narrow road, in addition to the red wax dripping with candles, there was an extra row of straight wooden sticks, and on the sticks were forked the heads of various animals.
Some of the skulls were already ossified, while others were only halfway decomposed, and the rotting tissue fluid continued to drip down, and the whole cave was filled with a foul smell.
Liu Bao couldn't help but speak, "Damn, this is too perverted......"
"Vomit ......"
The picture is too exciting, the smell is too strong, and those who are a little weaker can't help but gag.
Seeing that someone was about to vomit, the warning voice of the witch prayer came from the front, "I warn you. Do not vomit in the holy place, or I will throw you into this river and wash you, and you will be the one who will suffer! ”
Shrine? I don't think so, but like those hidden places where sorcery is practiced.
I thought to myself, but my back was gently scratched.
This sudden surprise made me stunned, I just thought it was Xu Jinxiu cold, and leaned behind me the next moment.
Xu Jinxiu was so close to me that I could feel the snort in my ears,
It's tickling, and I can't help but shake.
Xu Jinxiu seemed to be stunned, and then chuckled, "Heh~"
The ox cart led us across the trail to a clearing where there were more heads of animals and the smell of rotting was worse.
Unlike before, under the heads of each of these animals stood a muscular man, who was unclothed and had strange symbols painted on his body, and had no shoes on his feet, but only a drum in his hand.
And there is an extra cave in front of it, which is full of white silk flowers, as if it is a funeral.
The bullock cart finally stopped in front of the cave.
Someone in front of him came to the front of the ox cart and respectfully helped Wu Zhuqi down from the ox cart, and Wu Zhuqi stood still in place before he set his eyes on us, and that gaze was the same as looking at the goods.
"The sacrifice has arrived, take them into the Shoutang!"
Wu Zhu shouted a prayer as the muscular men walked towards us. He dragged us directly from the ox cart and pulled us directly into the Shoutang.
The Shoutang inside the cave is not very luxurious, but the stone walls on both sides are full of inscriptions, and there is a huge coffin in the middle, because the distance is a little far, it is not clear to see the scene inside, and next to him there are nine upright pillars.
"Is this a bronze column?"
Behind me, Xu Jinxiu's voice came.
I also looked at it, these bronze pillars are not small, and there are some intricate and gorgeous carvings on them, which seem to be objects of the Shang Dynasty.
Liu Bao's eyes lit up, "Such a big bronze pillar, looking at this material pattern is worth a lot of money!" ”
I'm a little helpless, Liu Bao's focus is always so special.
These bronze pillars are indeed extremely precious, and they are also priceless in the current market, but I didn't expect that there are such rare objects in such a thief's den.
Not long after, several more stout men walked in from outside, they were dressed in tendons and flesh, naked and covered with red cinnabar, depicting strange patterns.
A few of us were pressed to the middle of the Shoudo, and the men surrounded us in the middle.
Just listen,
"Sacrifice ——!"
As soon as Wu Zhubao finished speaking, he drew a knife and cut a wound in his hand, and the men repeated the action.
Then we began to dance strangely, and it was then that I recognized the patterns they had drawn.
This is a famous prayer during the Shang Dynasty, and it was often used in large-scale sacrifices, and if I remember correctly, this should be the living sacrifice that was prevalent in the Shang Dynasty.
Before I came, I thought it was a living burial in a feudal backward area, but I didn't expect it to be a real Shang Dynasty living sacrifice.
"The living sacrifice of the Shang Dynasty is a long experience."
Liu Bao frowned, "Brother Chen, what is the living sacrifice of the Shang Dynasty?" ”
I turned my face to look at Liu Bao on the side, "Since ancient times, the Chinese people have a tradition of sacrifice, and when people encounter major festivals and major events, they will kill pigs and sheep to worship the gods, which has reached the guidance of praying to the gods." However, in the Shang Dynasty, their methods of sacrifice were even more cruel - they would carry the living directly to the altar. “
Liu Bao smacked his tongue a little, "So heartbroken? ”
"And that's not all."
Xu Jinxiu, who was on the side, glanced at me and said, "There are many ways to sacrifice living people in the ancient Shang Dynasty, such as killing, beheading, and burning to death are already the simplest, and what is even more amazing is to dissect the body and take out the internal organs, and open the intestines of a large living person. ”
Xu Jinxiu said slowly, scared Liu Bao into a spirit, "Don't say it, this is too perverted, no, then they don't want to disembowel us?" ”
As soon as Liu Bao finished speaking, the men who were dancing the prayer dance had already stopped what they were doing, and they stepped forward quickly and dragged a few people to the nine pillars.
Wu Zhuqi said in a cold voice with an expressionless face, "Today, we will offer nine men and women to be buried with Renrui!" ”
This so-called human rui refers to those who are more than 100 years old.
The distance was enough for me to see the inside of the coffin.
There was a man lying upright in the coffin, just as Jin Mingxian said, he looked like he was in the prime of life, and he looked like a person who was over 100 years old.
Speaking of which, there is such an elder who is over 100 years old and still young forever, so he can't be a treasure?
But I always felt that something was wrong.
I can't think about it too much, those big men have already come up to catch us, and there is no need to endure it anymore at this point.
"Do it."
As soon as I finished speaking, Liu Bao jumped out from the side, "Grandpa is here." ”
He said as he punched the man in front of him.
I didn't have time to take care of Liu Bao, so I used the blade hidden in my hand to cut off the rope, and kicked the man who was coming towards me head-on.
They didn't seem to expect us to resist in such a timely manner, and after they were stunned, they attacked even more ferociously.
The biggest difference between this person and those things in the bucket is that one has brains and the other has no brains, but in the face of absolute strength, it doesn't matter if there is or not.
It's all used to being mixed up, and so a few people can do it in minutes.
After dealing with a group of rabble, only the witch prayer remained.
He seemed to be terrified, and shrank back step by step, directly to the side of Renrui's coffin.
"You people who don't know the height of the sky, the heavens will come down to punish you!"
Liu Bao plucked out his ears impatiently, "It's all dying and talking nonsense." ”
A dead word in the words made Wu Zhuqi's legs tremble, the wound on his hand was still bleeding, and the blood left traces along the place where he touched, "You, you ......"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Bao stepped forward and picked him up directly.
Liu Bao smiled evilly at Wu Zhuqi, and then took out the hemp rope prepared by Jin Minxian before and directly tied Wu Zhuqi like a rice dumpling.
This is also a certain meaning of treating others in the way of others.
We are not outlaws, killing people will do more harm than good to us, and although we are not afraid of things, we don't want to cause trouble.
Immediately, Liu Bao said that I had passed through the group, and said viciously, "Give me quiet." ”
Seeing Liu Bao like this, those few people were naturally well-behaved, one by one like frosted eggplants.
I walked up to the nine bronze pillars, took a general look at the patterns on them, and then turned my eyes to the person in the coffin.
I don't know how many bronzes I have touched since I was a child, and there are 100 and 80 bronzes in my hands, but this is the first time I have seen this 100-year-old person who is still like a forty or fifty-year-old person.
I took two steps forward to see more clearly, but the next second I was stunned.
There were a lot of valuable things on the body, and there was even a jade pillow under the head, and the edge of the coffin was stained with the blood of Wu Zhuqi, and the blood beads that meandered down dripped on the body, and the next moment the blood beads were absorbed into it, and under my gaze, the lifeless body spread out of the neck one after another black cracks, and the ten fingers turned black.
It is absolutely impossible for Renrui to be like this, an idea was formed in my mind, and I secretly said badly, "Everyone stay away from the coffin!" ”
Everyone didn't know what was going on, but most of them stopped what I said.
The black dragon looked at me and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Chen?" ”
My face was gloomy, and I didn't intend to hide it, "In that coffin is not a human rui at all, but a human kui!" ”
The kui is also known as the burly, and it is only suitable for men.
As the saying goes, men are burly; Calling the heavens and drinking the earth, the woman is burly, and the family is separated.
Chen belongs to Tiangang, and Xu belongs to Hekui, which is extinct for yin and yang.
This person no longer belongs to people, and has become a kind of monster, a bloodthirsty and flesh-eating monster, with great strength, and his strength will be qualitatively improved in a cold environment.
The current environment is nothing less than the most favorable for him.
"Although this person is no longer human in nature, as long as this thing is not affected, we are safe, so we should get out of here as soon as possible."
When I finished speaking, the crowd hesitated.
I knew what they were hesitating, and the nine bronze pillars and the writing on the two walls were a great attraction.
It was Xu Jinxiu who walked out first, "Chen Ping is a long-eyed person, everyone has seen his ability, don't lose your life for some petty profits." ”
Everyone still understands the truth that life is greater than everything, although there are some regrets, but no one has any objections.
"Let's go first."
We were about to leave the cave when we saw a pitch-black shadow directed directly at Renkui's coffin.
"It's all my money, I have to take it!"
