Chapter 120: Sacrificial Ritual?
If something goes wrong, it must be a demon, but this whirlwind is a good "demon".
When a few people came to the place where the whirlwind was blowing, they saw that next to the small tornado, there was a mountain crack, about two meters wide, with a large arc, winding into the cliff, I don't know the length of the back, and a cliff gap was formed in the sky.
The whirlwind was strange, and it was going around at the entrance to this cliff, like a guard guarding the door.
After Zhang Min came to this whirlwind, he kept muttering:
"Whirlwind Whirlwind you are a ghost, three scythes cut your legs, Whirlwind Whirlwind you are"
As he spoke, he turned towards the whirlwind position and made a knife slash with the palm of his hand.
Don't look at the words as simple and funny, but these two words are really a blessing, and they are commonly used by northern shamans.
Yun Qianfeng walked straight to the cliff gap, let the whirlwind hover around him, and then licked the back of his left hand with his tongue, and placed it at the entrance of the cliff gap, and the back of the saliva hand was facing the cliff gap.
Then he licked the back of his hand again, and then held his palm against the entrance of the cliff.
Then he laughed and said:
"Zhang Min, don't cut it, this whirlwind is not a ghost, but because there are winds blowing into the cliff at both ends of this cliff gap, and two winds in opposite directions happen to meet here, so a whirlwind is formed, but I have to say that I really can't imagine what kind of structure can make the two winds almost the same, and they happen to be in opposite directions."
After speaking, he waved his hand and continued:
"Let's go, this stone cliff stretches endlessly on both sides, so huge, it's hard to say whether there is an entrance or not, this cliff gap has wind through, there is a high probability that this is the only way to enter the island."
Everyone must remember to speak in a very low voice after entering, this cliff gap is tight, no less than twenty or thirty floors high on both sides, all our voices will be gathered in it, and then vibrate with the cliff wall, the sound is loud, it is easy to have a gravel shake down. ”
The third girl hurriedly nodded yes.
Yun Qianfeng should be the first to enter.
As soon as I walked to the first curved turn of this cliff gap, the surrounding light was completely dimmed, as if it had changed from day to evening.
Fortunately, although the light is dim, there is no big problem in seeing the surroundings clearly.
Yun Qianfeng glanced up at the sky high above, because it was too high, looking up like this, the sky exposed from the gap in the cliff was really like a fishing line.
He whispered:
"The sunlight is oblique, and it is all consumed by the reflection of the cliff wall above, which is why the bottom is so dark."
Qin Shuying nodded, and also said in a low voice:
"It's so cold in here."
Yun Qianfeng hurriedly took off the donkey skin on the wooden pole and touched it with his hand.
Make sure that the leather is completely dry, that is, because it has not been hit with a wooden stick to tannish soft, so it is still a little hard, but it is warm enough.
He draped the donkey skin on Qin Shuying's shoulder, which was more than two meters long and more than one meter wide, which made Qin Shuying immediately warm up.
Seeing this, Zhang Min hurriedly ran to Qin Shuying's side and draped the donkey skin on his shoulders, because this donkey skin was long enough for two people to use, and it was more comfortable and warm.
Qianqian has a sheepskin apron to protect from the wind and keep warm, but there is no need to squeeze with the two women.
After walking a distance, Yun Qianfeng relaxed and said with a smile:
"Look at the ground here, it's very clean, not even a small pebble, which proves that the cliffs on both sides are very strong, we are safe, everyone can speak with confidence, but you still have to be quiet, otherwise it will shock your ears."
As soon as these words came out, the three girls' nervous hearts suddenly relaxed, and almost all of them let out a long breath, Qianqian wrapped in a sheepskin apron, and said with a smile:
"It makes me nervous, and I can't catch my breath."
Zhang Min and Qin Shuying also smiled and said that they also felt that way.
Qin Shuying looked at the cliffs on both sides, measured it with his eyes for a while, and whispered:
"Yun, did you find it, this cliff gap seems to be artificially dug, although the cliff gap is curved and snake-shaped, the distance between the two sides is almost always close to two meters, very neat."
Yun Qianfeng looked at it, isn't it, and the cliffs on both sides are very smooth, as if they have been polished, and he wondered at the moment:
"It's really strange that such a big effort is put into digging a tunnel, but it doesn't make a straight line, it's inexplicable."
As he was talking, Yun Qianfeng suddenly stopped, stretched his arms to the sides, and said:
"Be careful, there are two dry bones in front of you."
The heart of the third girl, which had just relaxed, suddenly became nervous again, and she cautiously followed behind Yun Qianfeng, looking sideways.
I saw that on the ground in front of me, against the cliff wall, there were two corpses almost next to each other, one of which had the remains of clothes, but it was impossible to see what color and material the clothes were, but it was surrounded by a sheepskin apron that was the same as Qianqian's body.
The other corpse had nothing on it, and it was thought that Chi Guoguo had died here.
Yun Qianfeng squatted down, knocked the leg bones of the two corpses with the back of the navy knife, and then said:
"The two corpses did not die at the same time, the difference is probably decades, and the bones of the corpse without clothes are obviously much harder and brighter in color than the one with clothes."
Qin Shuying carefully observed for a while and said:
"The memory in my dream is of medical knowledge, and if that knowledge is true, then you are right, there is a long gap between the deaths of the two corpses, and both bones are very intact, and there are no broken bones. But why did two bones die together like this? It looks like they're leaning on each other. ”
As she spoke, she lifted her sheepskin apron, looked at the hip bones of the two corpses, and said thoughtfully:
"A man and a woman, this woman's bones had broken ribs before she died, but they were well connected, they had grown together, and she had not given birth."
Yun Qianfeng shook his head and wondered, "But, why doesn't she wear clothes?" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the sheepskin apron on the corpse, looked at it carefully, and made sure that there was also a pattern of a round ruler on it, sighed and covered the two corpses, and said:
"This man is also from the Masons Society, but I'm not sure if the dry bones of the other woman are, let's go."
Bones can always be depressing, especially human skeletons.
The three girls were quiet again, and they were really breathing to control the volume decibels.
Yun Qianfeng searched his stomach and thought about how to make the third girl relax, but before he could come up with a way, another corpse appeared, still two, one with clothes and one without.
The two bones also leaned on each other, but the posture was different from the previous two, and the dry bone here was much taller than the previous dry bone, and there were more fractures all over the body before his death, but it was also an old injury, and the fractures were recovered, that is, this person had not suffered a bone injury here.
In addition, the unclothed skeleton was about the same size as before.
The two corpses were very close together, and each other's bones had crossed and merged with each other in many places because of the pressure of this dependence.
Yun Qianfeng didn't look carefully this time, and hurriedly took the three girls to leave this depressing place.
Qin Shuying was obviously more nervous than before, because she had already begun to involuntarily get close to Yun Qianfeng's back.
"Yun, I always feel wrong, why are they all a man and a woman, and then the woman's bones are not clothed? It's not going to be some horrible ritual, is it? ”
Yun Qianfeng tried his best to make his voice as relaxed and gentle as possible, and comforted her with this tone:
"It's just that two groups of such skeletons are not representative, and the time of death of the bones is not the same, what kind of ritual will be completed decades apart? I think it's probably just a coincidence."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Qianfeng was stunned, he never thought that the slap in the face could be so timely.
Not far in front of them, there were two more skeletons, a man and a woman, one clothed and the other not.
