Xiang Fei also fell asleep, looked very sleepy, and walked out gently, tonight is a good weather, the sky is clear and the moon is bright, and the hazy light is sprinkled on the earth.

The mountain peaks in the distance were faintly in sight, and the surroundings were quiet, and it seemed that it should be the middle of the night, and the Qiang people had slept, and the whole village fell into darkness, and under the moonlight, a vague outline could be roughly seen.

I found a remote place to urinate, and then a cold wind suddenly blew in the calm night, which made me shiver and clear my mind a lot.

'Rustle', the trees in front of me were shaken by the wind, the leaves rustled, and somehow, at this moment, I suddenly felt a sense of fear in my heart, and hurried back.

Walking in a panic, I accidentally tripped under my feet and fell on the ground, but fortunately, I am wearing thicker clothes now, and I have no injuries, but I feel that the ground is wet and a little sticky, and I know by feeling that this is not water, it should be blood.

"Am I hurt, but why don't I feel pain?"

When I picked it up and looked at it, I was taken aback, and by the moonlight I could clearly see that my hand was sticking to the blood, and then I saw that the whole recess of the mountain where I was covered with a large area of blood, which seemed to seep out of the ground.

The cold wind blew, and the surroundings became gloomy, and I felt as if someone was watching me behind me, and instinctively turned around, not only was I frightened to the point that the dead souls rose, but behind me, I don't know when a dark shadow stood.

I couldn't see what it was, but the shadow stood behind me, silent, as if watching me, like a demon staring at its prey.

I ran desperately and hurriedly ran back to the room, a little panicked so much that the sound became loud, and Xiang Fei was woken up.

Turning on the light, he saw my panicked face and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Sitting down, I drank a glass of water to relieve my breath, gasping for breath I picked up my hand and showed it to Xiang Fei, the strange thing was that there was no blood on it, only dirt.

The expression on my face was stunned, I thought I had seen it wrong, I shook my head again, and then I saw that there was no blood on my hands at all, only dirt, "Impossible, I saw it clearly."

"Could it be that the scene I just saw was a hallucination, because I drank too much?" I whispered, "No way, the scene was so real, I clearly felt the pain of falling to the ground, and my hands were covered with dirt."

"What's wrong with you?" Xiang Fei asked again.

So I told him about the scene I had just come out of.

After listening to what I said, Xiang Fei also fell silent, and for a while the whole room could hear the needle falling, and after a while, Xiang Fei said: "It seems that this should not be an illusion, but there is really trouble."

"How?"

Xiang Fei sighed, "I'm afraid that demon has followed."

"What?" I was taken aback, "No."

"I'm not sure, it's just intuition", Xiang Fei shook his head, "The demon is by our side, lurking around us, waiting for the opportunity to kill us, and you are the most important chess piece in this eternal puzzle, everything will change because of you, that demon will definitely keep an eye on you at all times, this trip to the Qiang clan does not seem to be as simple as expected!" ”

The demon has followed, probably hiding in the crowd around us, perhaps any Qiang, perhaps a stranger, lurking in the shadows, watching us.

I feel uncomfortable thinking about it, being stalked by a thousand-year-old demon, and I could become its prey at any time.

"So what does it want to do with us?"

"I don't want us to know too much, or something we shouldn't know, I have a hunch that it will kill some people who will help us".

"Okay, it's still early, let's sleep for a while, tomorrow I have to go to the Qiang Clan General Village with Elder Taji, don't worry, that demon won't do anything to us now, it won't show its original form until the last moment."

I naturally understood what he meant, but there was always a sense of foreboding in my heart, feeling that something would happen that I didn't want to see this time.

As soon as we slept until dawn, breakfast had already been delivered, and by the time we had breakfast, Elder Taji was ready to take us off.

The Qiang village is deep in the mountains, where there is no road, only by walking, with our foot strength about the afternoon can be reached.

Fortunately, although Elder Taji is old, his physical fitness is okay, and according to his words, it should not be a problem to reach his destination.

I was accompanied by several young Qiang people, one of whom was Zhadan who was going to duel with me last night.

When the young man saw me, he also greeted me warmly, saying that he had the opportunity to find me to drink, and he walked on the mountain road, everyone was very careful, the mountains here are generally high slopes, and it is very easy to have landslides or something, and he may not fall a stone down the mountain while walking, but fortunately there has been no heavy rain recently, and the mountain road is easier to walk.

Seeing that it was already noon, we were all a little tired, and we were going to sit down and rest, if we continued to walk, it would be another two or three hours, and we young people could still hold on, but Elder Taji was old after all, and he was a little unbearable.

One hundred and twelve, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe

Seeing that it was already noon, we were all a little tired, and we were going to sit down and rest, if we continued to walk, it would be another two or three hours, and we young people could still hold on, but Elder Taji was old after all, and he was a little unbearable.

Sitting down to eat the corn buns and dried bacon brought out in the morning, at this time, on the other side of the road, there was a suona sound, which was the kind that only the dead blew.

After a while, I saw a group of people wearing mourning clothes, two suona blowers in front, and a coffin in the back.

The Qiang people still retain the funeral customs of ancient times, pay attention to the soil for peace, this is not surprising, we can only hurry up to give way, this is a bad thing if you don't give way when you meet the funeral.

There were men and women in the funeral procession, as well as some children, who seemed to belong to a certain Qiang village, a small Qiang village.

The wind blew in the mountains, the paper money flew in the wind, the funeral team walked in front of us, everything was so calm, suddenly Xiang Fei stabbed me with his hand, and whispered: "Look at that coffin."

Only then did I notice that the coffin carried in the crowd was the same as the hanging coffins we saw in the Shu tomb.

Although the hanging coffin in the Shu tomb is not much different from the ordinary coffin, it has a significant feature, that is, the four corners are square, and the entire coffin body remains parallel, unlike the modern Han coffin The four corners are oval, and there is no obvious water chestnut.

We glanced at each other, and we all saw the shock in each other's eyes, and we actually saw the same coffin as the ancient Shu people here, what does this mean? It shows that the Qiang people should have a great relationship with the ancient Shu people.

But then we saw that there was scarlet blood flowing out of the coffin, dripping on the ground, so shocking.

Xiang Fei and I were both taken aback, "There is something wrong with this coffin", we both thought so.

Xiang Fei gave me a look, recited the Yin-Yang Dao Method, and a yellow talisman flew out of his hand and hit the coffin.

I saw a puff of black smoke rising from the coffin, the coffin lid opened violently, and a person with blood all over his body sat up from inside, and suddenly the scene was in chaos, and several men jumped out of the funeral team, looking at us with cold eyes, and the others were screaming and running away.

The bloody man in the coffin is obviously dead, half-human and half-ghost, isn't this the same as Gu Shu's evil law?

However, this half-human, half-ghost with the appearance of a bloody man is far from succeeding, at least after being buried for seven hundred and forty-nine days, it can become a human body, a ghost's soul.

It's a pity that we met us halfway and were broken by us, and the three men who jumped out were obviously the inheritors of this evil law, that is, what Gu Shu called a wizard.

Elder Taji was also shocked, "This is an ancient evil law of the Qiang people, saying that it can protect people from immortality, because it is too evil and cruel, it was established as a forbidden law a long time ago, and it should have been lost a long time ago, why did it appear again?" ”

The three men seem to be from the Qiang tribe, and now our side has an absolute advantage in numbers, but of course we will definitely not fight like ordinary people, and the only way to compete is to compete.

Fighting method, we are not so sure, after all, the other party is three people, we only have me and Xiang Fei on our side, it depends on our Taoism.

In the coffin, the bloody man let out a terrible cry, kept struggling, and the flesh and blood of his body began to rot, and now he saw the light, and he was sure to die, and a large pool of blood flowed.

"Who are you? How dare you ruin our good deeds," one of them asked coldly.

Xiang Fei and I didn't answer, but asked, "Who are you?" Where did you get this evil law that harms people? ”

"We are naturally the disciples of the great wizard of the Qiang tribe, what evil law? This is the immortal law that my Qiang ancestors got from the immortal gods, you dare to destroy our immortal law, and you are ready to accept the punishment."

After saying that, the three of them made strange movements, as if they were performing some kind of ritual, and they spoke in a language that we did not understand, and then they saw that the wind was strong, and the sky was dark, as if there were thousands of ghosts and monsters rushing towards us, and a wriggling corpse crawled out of the ground, and for a time it was as if they had come to hell.

Xiang Fei and I were also surprised, the witchcraft and evil methods handed down by the Qiang clan are really unusual, but when they meet a yin and yang feng shui master, they can only be considered unlucky, especially when they meet two.

"Ten thousand laws in the world, yin and yang are the first, break it for me", Xiang Fei shouted.

The Yin and Yang technique was played, and the tens of thousands of ghosts and monsters around disappeared in an instant, and I directly took out the soul lamp and lit it, hey! This thing was more effective than the Yin and Yang Technique, and the restless ghosts immediately retreated, and even the corpses that were wriggling on the ground crawled back.

The three of them were taken aback, and then turned around and ran, but we couldn't catch them, and the three men ran up in the mountains, like monkeys, and disappeared into the woods in a moment.

Seeing that we couldn't catch up, we stopped and joined Elder Taji.

At this moment, Elder Taji's face was a little strange, staring at the soul suppression lamp in my hand, "Where did you get this thing from?" ”

Where did it come from, I can't tell you about this, I can only say that it was given to me by Heiye, it shouldn't have anything to do with the Qiang people, right?

Sure enough, Elder Taji shook his head and said, "According to the historical records of my Qiang people, this thing should be a sacred object worshiped by the ancient ancestors, and it is used to worship and communicate with heaven and earth, and it is said that there is a demon suppressed in it."

"This thing is a bit ominous, I advise you not to take it with you."

I nodded, the Soul Suppression Lantern is too mysterious, I'm afraid only the people who used it in the first place know about it, and now we can only wait and see what happens.

Continuing to rush to the Qiang Nationality General Village, Elder Taji said that only the Qiang Patriarch knows more things, and we have also learned that the so-called Qiang Patriarch is actually the patriarch of this area, because there are many places where the Qiang Nationality is distributed now, and there are people who live together with other ethnic groups, and now only the Qiang Nationality in this place can really retain the original customs.

The Qiang village is also in a big mountain, here is not far from Huanglong, the scenery is very beautiful, tourists are also endless, we entered the cottage under the leadership of Elder Taji.

This cottage was much larger than the previous one, and around several mountains, young men and women of the Qiang tribe came out in groups.

We directly found the Qiang patriarch, the Qiang patriarch's name is Athalma, who is very old, but he is still in good spirits, and he greeted us warmly when he saw us.

Elder Taji simply told him the purpose of our visit, and the old man's face changed suddenly, as if he had aged a lot.

After a long time, he sighed and said: "What should come will always come, I thought it was just a legend, but I never thought it really happened."

"In the ancient history of my Qiang people, legend has it that in that incomparably long period of ancient flood and famine, the yin and yang of heaven and earth began to open, all things in the world appeared together, demons and monsters were rampant, the ancestors of the Qiang people at that time, that is, the ancestors of the entire Chinese people, in order to protect future generations to reproduce, and these demons and monsters carried out an earth-shattering battle, and the result of the battle was naturally the victory of the ancestors of the Chinese people. But then there seemed to be some accident, the demon that was originally suppressed and sealed escaped, although it was sealed by the ancestors together, but they were also seriously injured at that time, and they couldn't kill this demon at all, so they sealed several parts of its body in several places, and the soul lamp in your hand is the key to open these sealed places."

"Later, the world began to go on the right track, the civilization of human ancestors began to flourish, and our Chinese ancestors gradually developed at this time, and the history of the ancient flood was gradually forgotten until it became a legend, and those legendary immortals have never been traced."

The patriarch of the Qiang nationality said, "In the long development of human civilization in ancient times, there have also been many turbulences, the yin and yang of heaven and earth have been chaotic, and evil forces have appeared. My Qiang tribe is actually a development of ancient Shu, according to historical records, there was an unimaginable disaster in the ancient Shu country, it seems to be related to the demon sealed by the ancient flood, the evil power eroded the ancient Shu, and wanted to open the divine land of the sealed demon, but in the end it was stopped, but this matter is far from over, there were too many things happened in the ancient Shu country, they seemed to have obtained some kind of mysterious power, peeking through the forbidden secrets of heaven and earth, so they got the law of becoming immortals, But all of this eventually disappeared with the long river of history."

The patriarch of the Qiang tribe sighed heavily, "I want to become an immortal with the strength of the country, but in the end, it is also empty, and it will be annihilated in history after all." Later, the ancient Shu Kingdom perished, the ancestors of my Qiang tribe survived, and there has been an ancient legend that has been passed down from generation to generation of my Qiang people, saying that when the Big Dipper seven stars are connected into a line, it is the day when the demon is reborn, that is, the day of the disaster of my Qiang tribe, this is the curse of the demon back then, I didn't expect it to really work."

Xiang Fei and I were not surprised, we had already guessed when we came, but what we didn't understand was that since the demon was sealed, why did it appear now?

"This is actually very simple, when there was a war disaster in the ancient Shu Kingdom, there was an evil force erosion, and the demon took this opportunity to escape a part, that is, one of its souls. The power of the demon is not something we can imagine, if the legend is true, then it is really born in the ancient era of flood mythology. It is also possible that it was released by those people back then."

"Those people?"

The patriarch of the Qiang clan looked at me, "Your surname is Liu, and you are also a Yin and Yang Feng Shui master, presumably after Liu Gong of the Republic of China, right?" ”

I was a little surprised, "You know my grandfather too?" ”

"I don't know each other, when your grandfather came here, I was just a kid and saw it."

I was even more surprised, I didn't expect my grandfather to come here too, "What is he doing here?" ”

"The person who has the same purpose as you, who wants to uncover this eternal mystery, but unfortunately was killed by the demon in the end."

"What do you know?" I'm a little inexplicably excited, maybe I can learn something about my grandfather from the Qiang this time.

"Your grandfather and my father were good friends, and when your grandfather came for the last time, he entrusted my father with a message to tell him if his children and grandchildren would continue to track him down."

"What?" I asked, a little nervously.

The patriarch of the Qiang tribe called out all the people around him, and then looked at Xiang Fei again.

I nodded and smiled, "It's okay, you can say it, he's also the one who tracks it down."

Only then did the patriarch of the Qiang tribe nod and said: "This sentence is very strange, I haven't figured it out, I'll tell you now, I hope you can figure it out."

"When the sun rises in the east, the place closest to heaven and earth will shine with the most brilliant light! When the stars shift, the door to immortality will open."

"That's it, you remember it all the time, this sentence may be the ultimate 'key' to finding the land of immortals."

I nodded, and then asked, "Was my grandfather here alone?" ”

One hundred and thirteen sacrifices to the ancient land

"It was a man, he came for the last time, and seemed to have a premonition that his time was running out, and he told my father that the demon was hiding beside him, killing one person after another, but it seemed to be ......".

"Seems like what?"

"It seems that your grandfather already knew who the demon was by the end, but he didn't say it as if he was afraid of something. I don't know anything else, but my father told me."

The heart is getting heavier and heavier, who is the demon? Why do you have to hide your identity all the time, and what does your grandfather's words mean? It sounds like it's related to Chengxian Land, does it refer to a place name?

At this time, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe said again: "You are very much like a person"!

"How?"

"You are very much like the Shu Yuan general of the ancient Shu Kingdom."

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Fei and I both changed color, and it was obvious that the Qiang patriarch knew far more than we thought.

"Tell the patriarch in detail."

"I don't know, this is still when I went with my father to the ancient place of sacrifice of the Qiang people, there is a mural there, I heard my father say, the man in it is the general of Shu Yuan of the ancient Shu Kingdom, hey! A legendary character, it is said that he is the incarnation of a god, who has slain demons and monsters, and has an army of 100,000 invincible, if he is not later killed by traitors, I am afraid that history will be rewritten."

"Any idea why I'm telling you this?" The Qiang patriarch's face suddenly became solemn.

"Why?"

"Because the divine land that seals the demons is the blood of General Shu Yuan, maybe the key to killing the demons is you. So be it! It's getting late now, tomorrow I'll take you to the ancient sacrificial land of the Qiang people, and you can explore it yourself."

Hearing him say this, we only nodded in agreement, it was already afternoon when we came, and now it was almost dark outside, and the Qiang patriarch had already ordered someone to prepare food for us and arrange accommodation.

After dinner, we went to bed early, this night seems to be very peaceful, but there is a mountain rain about to come, will the hidden demon appear?

Just in case, we set up a yin-yang circle around the room, and I had a hunch that something would happen tonight.

In the middle of the night, there was a strong wind outside, and after a while, it rained heavily, and the lightning and thunder roared, which made people feel very unsteady, and we didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, and before we woke up in the morning, we heard Elder Taji call outside.

When I got up and opened the door, I saw Elder Taji and the others walking in with ugly faces, "It's a big deal."

A bad premonition immediately rose in our hearts, "What's going on?" "Patriarch Atta died last night," Elder Taji said in a deep voice.

Xiang Fei and I widened our eyes, and only reacted in the middle of the sound, "The patriarch is dead, how did he die?" ”

"It should be in the middle of the night last night, listening to his family, he walked very calmly."

The two of us looked at each other, what we were worried about still happened, in fact, we should have thought that the demon would not attack us now, the Atta patriarch knew that the Qiang tribe sacrificed to the ancient land, where a part of the demon was sealed, it was very likely that he would attack him, and now that the patriarch is dead, I'm afraid no one knows about that place.

Sure enough, as soon as I inquired later, the entire Qiang tribe, only the patriarch knew about the sacrificial ancient land, because it was left by the ancestors of the Qiang tribe and was included in the forbidden land, and then only the patriarchs of the past dynasties knew, and now we only rely on ourselves.

Elder Taji and they have already helped deal with the patriarch's funeral, and the Qiang people in this area will come in the near future, and the patriarch is dead, which is a big deal in the Qiang tribe.

The Qiang patriarch is a family heirloom, if there is no patriarch descendants, there is no male, then through the clan to elect a respected person, Atta Patriarch died, the successor is his son, and he is also a half-hundred-year-old man, but he can only officially succeed after the Atta patriarch's posthumous affairs are done.

He found us and told us the words that the Atta patriarch had specially left for me, it turned out that after he learned the purpose of our coming, he had already foreseen that he would encounter accidents, but he didn't want his family to suffer with him, so he didn't say the Qiang sacrifice Gu, and the words left for us were the only clues.

"The top of the mountain, the heart of the earth, the place where the mountains and rivers meet", the old man said this, then turned away, took two steps and turned back and said: "I advise you not to go to that place, if something happens, we are also responsible....... In short, for your own sake and for us, you better get out of here as soon as possible! ”

The words of the patriarch's son, we naturally understand, but we can't just leave, the demon has already entangled us, and now it's too late to retreat, so we can only fight with it.

The people in the village were busy with the patriarch's funeral, but the two of us seemed a little out of place, and no one cared about us.

Xiang Fei looked at it and said, "Now we have to find it ourselves, the sentence left by the Atta patriarch is the key, let's crack it according to his words."

Packing up our things and preparing some simple tools for the expedition, we set off into the mountains.

'The top of the mountain, the heart of the earth, the confluence of mountains and rivers', this is obviously a treasure of feng shui, which means that the entrance to the ancient land of worship is in the center of the treasure land, let's start with yin and yang feng shui!

Of course I understand what Xiang Fei meant, obviously Patriarch Atta left this sentence because we understand yin and yang feng shui!

The Qiang area is mountainous, just in our area, there are many mountains, when the mountains are really overlapping, staggered and horizontal, there is no certain feng shui attainment, it is difficult to see the trend of the mountains and rivers here.

Before we knew it, we had gone deep into the mountains, where the cliffs were steep, the giant trees felt a little cold when walking in them, and from time to time there were animal cries, mountain monkeys jumping on the trees, and falling wild fruits hitting us.

It had just rained, the trail was slippery, and we walked very slowly, and if we hadn't lived in a hilly area, we wouldn't have been able to walk in it now.

A corner of the thatched hut loomed ahead, and as we walked over, we saw an old man walking down the hill with a few pheasants, who seemed to be a hunter here.

The hunter entered the thatched hut, and we followed, and saw him sitting in the house putting pheasants in the bag, I took out a cigarette and handed one up, "Uncle, we are here to explore, may I ask if there is a particularly dangerous and inaccessible place in this vicinity?" ”

The old man smiled at us with the simplicity peculiar to the mountain people, took the cigarette, lit it and smoked, "You have come to explore this place, you are really in the right place."

The innocent Sichuan accent sounds like it should be Han Chinese.

"Uncle, you should be Han Chinese, right?"

"Of course, otherwise the Qiang people will hunt here alone."

"When I was a cultural great, because I had a fight with the people in the production team, I injured them, and I was afraid that I would be arrested and imprisoned, so I hid in this deep mountain. When people are old, I'm afraid they won't be able to move if they want to in a few years."

The old man told us a lot, he himself had lived here for more than forty years, and was arguably the most familiar person with the area, and according to his account, we learned that not far from it, there was an extremely dangerous place, where mountains were surrounded and rivers, and one of the mountains was called the Falling Eagle Cliff, and as the name suggests, the eagle would fall to his death.

After thanking the old man, following his directions, we rushed to the Falling Eagle Cliff, the sky was gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain again, and it would be even more difficult to walk.

It was already noon, so we found a place to get ready to rest, ate some of the food we had brought, and drank some water from the creek next to us.

Xiang Fei looked into the distance with a telescope and said, "It should be not far ahead, we should be able to get there in two hours."

After resting, we climbed the mountain, and now our route is to go to the west of Sichuan, approaching the western Sichuan plateau, that is, the Qinghai-Tibet region.

Standing on the mountain peak, looking in all directions, in our northwest direction, we can vaguely see that in the hazy mist, the mountains are horizontal, revealing a majestic momentum, like a fairyland.

"It should be there, I don't know if the ancient land of the Qiang people is there," Xiang Fei said.

We hurried to the road, the sky was getting darker and darker, and it seemed that it was going to rain nine times out of ten, and sure enough, it was raining heavily in the sky after a while, and we had to find a grotto under the cliff to hide.

"I don't know how long this rain will take, but it won't stop after a while."

The wind is blowing in the mountains, which makes people feel cold, and it seems that the grotto we stand in should be formed naturally, formed by the rain for many years, but I inadvertently saw some words carved on the stone wall of the grotto, which should be a pattern to be exact, because the time has passed so long, it has been a little blurred.

I motioned for Xiang Fei to come over and take a look, these patterns looked like ancient Shu characters.

"These patterns should be the early characters of the Shu people, in the early stage of the ancient Shu civilization, and this place or around it should be a place for the activities of the Shu people," Xiang Fei said.

Then we walked into the grotto, only to find that there is a cave to the right in the innermost, with a flashlight to shine inside, inside is a natural stone cave, full of bones, although there is no coffin but are arranged in an orderly manner, the bones are wrapped in coarse cloth, obviously this is a burial ground of the ancient Shu people.

At that time, because civilization had just developed, the ancestors of the Shu people migrated all the way, because of the harsh environment or other reasons, many people must have died, and only the dead people were simply buried at that time, there were so many bones here, it was obvious that this place was once a relatively large activity place for the Shu people.

The early Shu people lived here for a long time, and even this is an important place for the Shu people, and we all vaguely feel that the ancient place of sacrifice of the Qiang people is about to arrive.

Xiang Fei and I got in, and the bats hiding inside were disturbed and strung together, and after a general look, there were almost three or four hundred bones in it, divided into rows and layers.

The two of us squatted down and observed carefully, these bones seemed to have died very naturally on the surface, and I don't know what method the Shu people used to preserve the corpses at that time.

As soon as the flashlight shined, the empty eyes were a little hairy to look at.

Xiang Fei looked at it for a while before he said: "Judging from the bones, the age of these people before their lives is equivalent to the middle-aged appearance of our modern people, although it seems that they died normally, but in my opinion, they were drained of blood and died, so that their corpses can be so well preserved, because their bodies were already shriveled up when they died."

"You're saying they're sacrificial victims?"

"It should be like this, what happened in the first place? To make the Shu people such a bloody and crazy sacrifice? ”

Neither of us can figure out that such a large-scale use of human sacrifices, and the use of their own people, is probably rare in the entire history of China.

And we saw some simple murals on the walls of the cave, as if they were carved randomly, or probably due to the hurry.

One Hundred and Fourteen Falling Eagle Cliff

Although simple, but it shocked our hearts, the scene depicted in these murals is the Shu people in the sacrifice, just like the scene of the mythological era, and the message that together with us is that there were demons in the territory of the Shu people, killing a lot of people, and even some people were enslaved by the demons, and an unprecedented disaster came.

In order to defeat the demons, the sacrificial prophet of the Shu tribe said a way, that is, to obtain strong power through blood sacrifices, so as to defeat the demons.

The blood sacrifice was presided over by the tribe's most powerful sacrificial mage, and the process was somewhat similar to those seen in the Shu tomb before, but there were differences, in short, it was very weird, and the scene was full of bloody and brutal, and finally the sacrificial mage wrote a mysterious incantation on the shroud of those corpses.

The outcome of this catastrophe is not said above, and we cannot guess.

We flipped open the coarse cloth wrapped around the bones, and there was indeed a mysterious incantation on it.

"This is the spell of the ancestors of the ancient Shu people, and the later Shu kingdom has been lost, but unfortunately we can't understand it, otherwise we may be able to find a way to deal with the demons in it," Xiang Fei said.

"Look there", Xiang Fei motioned with his hand to look at the top of the stone cave, where there was a corpse sitting.

Somewhat surprised, the two of us walked over slowly, and with a flashlight, we found that the corpse's head was buried deep in his chest, and his long hair was scattered, and he couldn't see his face at all.

At this moment, a dark wind suddenly blew in the cave, blowing the corpse's hair, and at that moment we clearly saw a pair of strange human faces looking at us.

The atmosphere was inexplicably weird, and I asked Xiang Fei why the corpse was sitting, and he didn't know.

"Shall we go up and have a look?"

Xiang Fei took a look at the corpse, "Go and take a look, act when you see the opportunity, and immediately greet you with a Taoist talisman when you find that the situation is wrong."

Then the two of us slowly climbed up, little by little, and it only took a few minutes, but I breathed like most of the day, and we approached the body.

The corpse seemed to be kneeling on the ground, and when we looked closely, we gasped, and it turned out that the corpse's feet were actually nailed to the stone, as if it were a person who had committed the most heinous crime.

And his hands were also tied behind his back, and there was a mural carved on the stone wall behind him, and after looking at the mural, we were all a little shocked, "This is actually the incarnation of the devil?" ”

The mural depicts a man with a disheveled head, armed with a weapon, wantonly killing the Shu people, and then being subdued by the people, and then being judged.

"What do you think?" I asked Xiang Fei.

"Who can say clearly, thousands of years ago, what happened at that time, we can't be completely sure."

A yin wind blew from behind, I shivered, and when I looked back, there was a dark shadow standing at the entrance of the cave, just like I had seen in the Qiang village before.

The shadow just stood there, motionless, as if watching me silently.

Xiang Fei saw that my face was wrong, and when he looked back, he was taken aback, "Who are you?" ”

The black shadow didn't answer, the scene became tense for a while, and the two of us were short of breath and cold sweat, could this be the demon?

After not speaking for a long time, the scene was dead silent, and then the black shadow finally made a sound, not to speak, but to laugh sneeringly, like a demon from hell, making people stand upside down.

After a sinister laugh, the black shadow disappeared, and then the mutation returned, and the corpses in the cave moved, like ancient corpses resurrected, and crawled towards us.

"Hurry up and light the soul lamp!" Xiang Fei said.

I also reacted and quickly lit the soul lamp, but a strong wind blew at the entrance of the cave, and the lamp was blown out at once.

The two of us didn't care so much, so we could only use the technique of yin and yang to deal with the dry corpses that climbed up, the magic circle, and the Dao talisman were played one after another, and the dry corpses that climbed up turned into ashes.

Suddenly, I felt that someone was blowing cool air behind me, and subconsciously looked back, almost scared me half to death, the kneeling corpse actually stood up and stood behind me, my hair was blown away by the wind, and I was facing it face to face.

What was frightening was that it had no face, it was the kind that had been skinned, with a strange and inexplicable smile on its face, and a pair of empty eyes looking at me.

"Hey", it reached out a pair of shriveled hands and grabbed my neck, lifting me up.

In an instant, I felt the threat of death....... But it doesn't seem to be in a hurry to kill me, but wants to torture me slowly like a cat playing with a mouse.

The Dao talisman in Xiang Fei's hand turned into a yellow light and hit its body, but it didn't hurt it at all.

Then it put me down again, and just jumped down, into the crowd of corpses.

It was like a rampant man provoking, standing in the midst of the corpses, surrounded by the dried corpses, as if worshipping, like a king on high.

It looked at us arrogantly, and that look didn't take us seriously at all, as if to say that we were just ants in its eyes, and it could kill us at any time.

Xiang Fei and I are both angry, being so despised by a corpse, this is simply an insult to Chi, as the saying goes, rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, let alone us.

"The law of yin and yang, the world is the way", Xiang Fei shouted, a few yellow lights flew out of his body, forming a yin and yang magic circle in front of him, "Zhu Yang, Wan Yin, Qiankun Xingdao", I saw a few yellow lights bombarded down like thunder in the sky, and immediately split those dry corpses like lost dogs, fleeing in all directions.

And I also took this opportunity to light the soul lamp, and I couldn't control it so much in a hurry, so I casually recited the Yin and Yang Dharma, "The world's resentful souls and evil spirits are all surrendered to my feet."

This time, even it showed a cautious expression, and of course this 'look' was seen from its movements.

I put the soul lamp in front of me and shouted, "Wait for the ghosts to hurry up!" ”

But seeing it sneer, a gust of wind blew, and the dried corpse below immediately turned into dust and disappeared, and it naturally disappeared.

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and said in a deep voice, "It looks like it's catching up."

Xiang Fei nodded, "Now it's only a part, the mana is limited, and there are still many restrictions during the day, so it can only interfere with us a little, if you enter the ancient land of sacrifice, the situation will be much more serious, now it will not kill us, but it also doesn't want us to know too many secrets." I think, there must be something hidden in the ancient place of sacrifice of the Qiang people"?

I agree with Xiang Fei's statement, this thing is hidden around us, and it may be the people around us, and now it shows traces, indicating that we are not far from the ancient land of sacrifice.

After leaving the grotto, we sat down and rested for a while, and the rain stopped.

Standing up, Xiang Fei looked into the distance, and said in a somewhat heavy voice: "Let's go, presumably the real evil fight is still to come."

Walking along the mountain road, I walked for more than an hour, and finally came to the destination------ Falling Eagle Cliff.

We stood on the opposite side of the Falling Eagle Cliff and looked at it, and sure enough, it was worthy of its name, and the whole mountain cliff was straight and steep as if it had been cut off by the knife peak.

The surrounding peaks stretch and overlap, the ancient trees are vigorous and misty, and there are waterfalls falling from the mountains, and there is a rumbling sound.

"What a momentum"! I sighed.

Standing here, it is like climbing high and looking into the distance, and the world is all in the sky, which makes people feel a king's spirit.

"Everything in the world is in the palm of my hand", Xiang Fei also sighed.

An eagle chirped, and when I looked up, I saw a goshawk swooping down from the sky, and the sun set at the bottom of the cliff like a kite with a broken line.

"Falling Eagle Cliff, that's why it's here!"

Seeing this scene, we have all understood that the so-called Falling Eagle Cliff is actually the destination of the goshawk, we have heard of it before, but when the goshawk is going to grow old, it will die in a specific place, presumably under the Falling Eagle Cliff is their grave!

"I think it's their life's work, and they'll be buried here when they die."

I walked back and forth twice with my hands behind my back, and said with an indifferent smile: "Master Xiang Fei, take this opportunity for the two of us to point out the country!" ”

Xiang Fei also laughed, "I don't dare to point to the country, let's talk about the wind and water here!" ”

"Haha, then you can please first", I stretched out my palm.

"Concession, concession!" Xiang Fei clenched his fists.

.........

"Well, although there is no dragon power here, it has the air of a king. Gas? It is the momentum, luck, and the number of lives in feng shui, looking at this mountain, such as a fierce tiger entrenched, and this falling eagle cliff is like a fairy god descending from the sky, and all things in all directions come to worship. Look at the waterfall in the mountain again, isn't it the purple qi coming from the east, and it has the meaning of flying yellow and soaring", Xiang Fei pinched his fingers again, "If it is not bad as expected, the falling eagle cliff is the heart of the earth!" ”

I nodded and smiled, "Master Xiang Fei's skills are superior, and he is willing to bow down!"

"Gotta .... Yes, don't come to this set, I didn't know you for a day, Master Liu will say a few words! ”

"Well, I'll sacrifice ugliness."

"In my opinion, there is one thing missing here, but unfortunately, it was originally a rare treasure, but there is a trace of time."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Feng Shui pays attention to the time of day, the right place, the ability and the people, and this place has the right place, but the time of the day is lacking. The terrain is trending northwest, this is a dead end, do you see the river on the right? Meandering down, straight to the Falling Eagle Cliff, when a knife on the tiger's body, it can be said that although this tiger has a royal spirit, it is also weak."

"Haha, yes, yes! Master Liu, that's reasonable, hearing you say that, my eyes are bright. There are many ways to view Feng Shui, there are images, objects, listening, seeing, and counting, and Liu Shi should belong to the likeness, looking, and counting."

"Then Master Liu, where do you think this sacrificial ancient land should be?"

"Like you, in this Falling Eagle Cliff low".

The two looked at each other and smiled, "Since that's the case, let's start acting!" ”

After checking the equipment, we are light this time, and if the situation is not good, we will return it and make plans again.

I don't know how deep this falling eagle cliff is, and the two of us can only explore step by step, climbing down from the cliff, just like climbers, but we are climbing down.

From time to time, a goshawk chirped and rushed down, bringing us a trace of emotion and sympathy, as if a powerful warrior was going to his twilight years after all, and the glory was no longer there, and he was alone to death.

There are many ancient pine trees on the cliff, some of which almost require me to hug each other with my hands, and they are overgrown with plants and flowers that I don't know, but it is like a junction to a paradise.

It is estimated that after climbing for about an hour, there can only be a hole above, this falling eagle cliff is actually a huge circular karst cave, the light below has dimmed, except for the occasional chirping of the goshawk rushing down and the sound of the waterfall, there is no other sound around, as if the birds and insects have been extinct.

It's like a static world, and there's still no bottom in sight below.

By this time, we both had some drums in our hearts, how deep is this? Don't really dig 3,000 feet of ground at that time, it will be troublesome.

One hundred and fifteen blue bird snake head

The stone next to my hand slipped and fell, and I didn't hear the echo of the landing, so you can imagine how deep it was below.

Neither of us spoke, groping and continuing to climb down, and crawling for another few dozen minutes, only then could we faintly see a shadow below by the faint light coming from above.

"It should be almost there," Xiang Fei said in a deep voice.

After resting for a few minutes, we slowly approached the target, and when we got closer, I could already see the stones on the ground, it was like an underground world, and the light was dim I turned on the flashlight and observed.

It's like an underground world, like a basin, with trees and streams, and the waterfall is like falling from the Nine Heavens Milky Way, and there is already a deep pool on the ground.

The flashlight shone on it, but it didn't shine on the edge, and we didn't know how big it was, and now we had to start exploring step by step.

Xiang Fei and I walked forward side by side, and the trees we saw were all living in shady places, there were no animals and birds, only bats flew out occasionally, and there were no corpses of those goshawks, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

There was a canyon in front of him, which was not very good, and it was able to allow three people to walk through at the same time, just like a ray of sky in the mountains.

After a closer look, I found that this was excavated by hand, and there were obvious artificial traces on both sides of the stone wall.

"There are eyebrows, it should be in here," Xiang Fei said.

Then he took the lead and walked inside, this canyon did not know how deep, it seemed empty when walking inside, and the front was pitch black like a road to the underworld.

In my heart, I always think of the things I encountered in the Shu Tomb before, will I encounter them again in this?

"It's here," Xiang Fei's deep voice sounded.

Looking up, the front suddenly widened, and you could vaguely see their own carvings and buildings, especially on the cliffs, and there were some watchtowers built in the sky.

According to the Atta patriarch, the ancestors of the Qiang people are also ancient Shu people, so in the field of civilization and the civilization of ancient Shu is very similar, this ancient sacrifice place should be left by the ancient Shu people.

The place seemed to have stepped into the mountains, and there was no light to be seen above, and there was a smell of dampness in the air.

After observing for a while, we walked in, there is a stone sculpture at the entrance, shining with a flashlight, this is a statue of a god, that is, the gods who saw the ancient Shu people worshiped in the Shu tomb before, and they looked fierce and evil.

There are more and more statues in front, all of which are gods worshiped by the ancient Shu people, all of them are fierce-looking, and they look uncomfortable.

After walking for more than ten minutes, a high platform made of stone finally appeared in front of him, just like the altar seen in the tomb of Shu, but this one is much more bloody, and the stone is covered with bloodstains, although thousands of years have passed, it is still clearly visible.

What is even more frightening is that under the altar, there is a large pit, which is full of dead human skulls, and I can't count how many of them, all of which have begun to decay.

"These should be those who have been sacrificed, just like in the Shu tomb", I now wonder what kind of people the ancient Shu people were, was it because of their murderous nature or because of their belief in evil law?

The surprisingly quiet makes the atmosphere inexplicably weird.

"Have you noticed it, it's been calm since we came in," Xiang Fei said.

"What do you mean?"

"It's not normal".

"Patriarch Atta said that this is the place where the demon's body is sealed, but it doesn't look like it? It's just an altar."

"Yes, it's a little strange, it's too calm, it's not like the important land of the Shu people."

We climbed the altar, which was still engraved with ancient texts and some sacrificial patterns, and the most surprising thing for us was that there was no coffin or bronze face on this altar, but a stone carving of a blue bird and a snake head, just like what we saw in the murals in the Shu tomb, the bird body and snake head, but this is the first time we saw the real thing, and it was a mural before.

This thing should have been a bronze medal, but I don't know where it went, and now this stone carving is obviously carved by the ancestors of the Qiang people.

The blue bird snake head gives people a strange feeling, especially the eyes of the snake head, just like the eyes of the bronze human face, very demonic, as if it can see through people's hearts, I looked at each other and my heart trembled.

"Hey, listen," Xiang Fei said suddenly, motioning for me to listen carefully to the surroundings.

The dead space, we listened attentively, there seemed to be a slight cold wind blowing in the air, it sounded normal, but after listening for a while, I realized that something was wrong.

There seemed to be a voice in the wind, a sneering voice, as if a hideous face was smiling at us.

Gradually, this voice became louder and louder, almost imprisoning people's souls, but at the critical moment, Xiang Fei reacted and grabbed me, "I can't listen to it."

Only then did I react, and there was already some cold sweat on my forehead, and the sound seemed to have magical power, pulling people into the abyss.

"Look at your feet".

I looked down and saw that the blood on the altar at my feet had turned into a cloud of blood and spread out in all directions.

We both ran down quickly, and by this time we both understood that it was not that this place was normal, but that it had not yet begun.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps around the empty area, I followed the voice, only to see a person walking over, which suddenly made us all very nervous, and after seeing who was coming, Xiang Fei and I only felt that the hair was upside down, and our hearts were beating violently.

It was none other than Patriarch Atta, and the sudden appearance of a dead man in front of us could not be frightening?

"He's not the Atta patriarch," Xiang Fei said.

I also realized, "It's the demon who came with us."

He stood across from us, staring at us, and only after a moment did he reveal a strange smile, "Aren't you good at finding it so quickly, hehe!" ”

Although the voice was still that of the Atta patriarch, it sounded like it was coming from hell, and such a place sounded creepy.

"Who the hell are you?" Xiang Fei asked.

"Hehe, don't you already know that I'm the embodiment of the devil!"

"You're not, you're just a corpse possessed by a demon, who is your true identity?"

"Hehe, as you said, I am always there for you, it may be your friend, relative, or partner, or it may be a stranger passing by. Who I am, maybe only you will know the final ending, as long as you know, I will always be there for you, except for the two of you, I may be anyone, hehe! This has just begun, and I can't wait for the feud until now."

"You brought us here on purpose, right?"

"You can say that, but you're only half right, first of all, Patriarch Atta told you that it's true, that some of me have indeed been sealed here, right under this altar, and that you can completely destroy me with your blood. But what Patriarch Atta forgot to tell you is that you can also release me with your blood, hehe! General Shu Yuan, I'll trouble you to let out some blood."

My heart was cold, I didn't expect to fall for its scheme, it seems that there will be a fierce battle today.

"You are inevitably too confident, although we don't know who you really are and what your origin is, but now you are just a ghost who has become a climate, and the two of us are still sure to deal with it together", Xiang Fei snorted coldly and said.

The atmosphere of the scene began to become tense, and the blood on the altar became more and more, until in the end it was like a stream of water.

'Patriarch Ata' glanced at it and said, "See, that was the blood sacrifice that was used to seal my body, but it took the lives of a full eight hundred people, hehe!" But as long as I get out of trouble, this blood will be mine."

The originally peaceful space suddenly blew a strong wind, so big that it seemed to be able to blow people away, and he couldn't open his eyes, and when the wind stopped, the 'Atta Patriarch' was gone.

We began to be vigilant in our hearts, this thing is the best at playing hide and seek, maybe it will play hide and seek with us again now.

Xiang Fei pointed to the altar and motioned for me to take a quick look, only to see a humanoid object constantly emerging from the blood and water above, like a struggling soul, the same as the last time we saw it in the burial place.

Slowly, the blood spread towards us, and the struggling human form stretched out its bloody hand to us.

"Get out of here".

The two of us saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to quit, but when we looked back, we were secretly scolding our mother, and the way to come was blocked by a big stone at some point, it seems that 'he' has already calculated, and now we have no way to escape.

There is no way back, we have to fight hard, arrange the yin and yang magic circle around, this time it is just the two of us, unlike the last few times when there are many people and great strength.

The Yin Yang Circle was quickly arranged, I lit the soul suppression lamp, and placed it in the array, the green flames jumped, and the souls struggling in the blood and water quieted down for a moment.

What we didn't expect was that we thought there would be a vicious battle, but it subsided like this, and the surroundings were quiet again.

The blood and water obtained from the ancient land of sacrifice also disappeared, but the difference was that the statue of the blue bird and snake head on it was also missing.

Xiang Fei looked at it, his face became solemn, "Could it be that that demon was transformed by this monster with the head of a blue bird and a snake?" ”

I also think so, this thing has appeared in the Shu tomb several times, all in the murals, and it seems that the Shu people seem to have a deep taboo against it.

We walked up to the ancient place of worship, and it was indeed empty.

"Could it be that the demon is out of trouble?" I asked.

Xiang Fei immediately shook his head, "This is impossible, the sacrificial ancient land has not been opened at all, it is impossible for it to get out of trouble, and besides, to open the sacrificial ancient land, you must also need your blood." I think the stone carving is just a statue of it, and the ancient Shu ancestors put it on it to remind future generations that the real it should be below it."

Now I feel that such a thing is ridiculously powerful, really like those monsters in mythology, ancient...... It's a time when you want to see what you want!

There was a thud, and the statue of the god at the entrance collapsed and fell to the ground.

At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps from the watchtower above, and we used a flashlight to shine up, just to see the back of a person, who was illuminated by us, and hurriedly ran in, and just looking at the back did not look like 'Atta Patriarch'.

"Did anyone else come in too?" Xiang Fei and I glanced at each other.

"Hurry up and catch up," Xiang Fei reminded.

So the two of us ran up the stairs of the watchtower, rushed directly into the watchtower, only to find that the watchtower is not generally big, just like the palace, built in the middle of the mountain to the mountain.

One hundred and sixteen burial places

The man was long gone, and we threw ourselves into the air, but we were attracted by the watchtower in front of us, and inside was a huge cave, going down, as if leading to the underworld.

I shone it with a flashlight, but I couldn't see the bottom at all, so I asked in a low voice, "Do we want to go in?" ”

"There's no other way in. Doesn't it want to lead us down step by step, then let's go down and try, and we have to break through the Longtan Tiger's Den."

To be on the safe side, he lit a ball of pine resin and threw it down, and the dazzling fire was directly drowned out by the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

Before Xiang Fei left, after I left, this cave was slowly inclined downward, basically flat, and the ground was full of stones.

Look at the time and go for nearly an hour and a half, but the cave has not yet bottomed out, at this time we are both a little unsettled in our hearts, this keeps going, will not really go to the underworld, right?

They found a place to sit down, rested for a while, lit a cigarette each, smoked it, turned off the flashlight, and fell into a dead silence.

Just when we were about to finish smoking, there was a very slight sound of footsteps on the road behind us, and the cigarette butts were immediately extinguished, and Xiang Fei and I hid in the dark and quietly observed.

The sound slowly approached, and we held our breath and waited for the target to appear, and then pounced on it without hesitation.

Finally, the voice came to us, Xiang Fei and I turned on the flashlight at the same time, and the target appeared in front of us, but what we didn't expect was that this target turned out to be Zhadan, the Qiang youth who was drinking with me.

This result really didn't make us think, and we couldn't help but wonder, how could he be here?

Xiang Fei reacted the fastest, pounced and pressed Zhadan to the ground, and I also ran over to help, but fortunately, this person didn't have much strength, and the two of us were quickly subdued.

"Tell me honestly, are you a human or a ghost?" Xiang Fei asked viciously.

Zhadan struggled on the ground, and Xiang Fei directly slapped him twice, which made him honest.

"Hurry up and be honest, who are you?"

Zhadan was frightened by Xiang Fei's fierce appearance for a while, and said in a hurry: "I'm just an errand runner, I came with Elder Taji, and I got separated when I came down, and I don't know anything else."

As soon as we heard it, we understood, and dared to feel that this was going to be a praying mantis catching cicada yellow finch behind, but it was a pity that they didn't know how dangerous it was, and we all knew that it was good that half of them survived this time.

"What is Elder Taji's purpose?" Xiang Fei asked again.

"I.... I don't know, he only told us, saying that there are treasures left by the ancestors of the Qiang tribe, let us come in with him to find them," Speaking of this, Zhadan looked frightened, "We came in and saw the patriarch, he asked us to go with him."

"The result?"

"Of course I didn't want to, but a few of them went with him as if they had been hooked, and I just wandered around here, and that's why I came here to meet you."

"Well, it sounds like that, but do you think we should believe you?" Xiang Fei asked, don't say it's just me, I don't believe it.

"Who the hell are you?" Xiang Fei raised his voice, "If you don't say anything, don't blame us for being polite, if you kill someone in this without knowing it, there will be nothing."

After saying that, we both made a fierce appearance, spat and rubbed our hands.

"You ..... Don't kill me, I just say it. In fact, we came in to find the treasure of the Qiang people, but we did meet the patriarch when we came in, but we were not afraid, because we already knew that he was not really dead, and one day we lied to you, saying that there is a peerless treasure left by the ancestors of the Qiang people, let us cooperate with him. But as soon as I came in, the patriarch became strange, and I became more and more afraid, so I found an opportunity to slip away alone, and then I got here."

"None of them are afraid, why are you alone?"

Zadan's face was horrified, "Because..... For when I came in and climbed down the cliff, I was right behind the patriarch, and I saw that there was no shadow of him, and I saw that his hand was cut by the rock, and there was no blood coming out, as if it was all right. Later, when I came in, I saw that his movements and expressions were getting more and more weird, and I became more and more afraid. I'm telling the truth, and you have to believe me."

This time we didn't ask any more, and let him go, "Count you as acquaintances, otherwise you don't know how to die."

"I've told the truth, you can't hurt me anymore."

"Hehe, when we meet you, they don't think they can run away."

"You're not scaring me, are you?"

"Scaring you? You won't need it, you'll find out later."

I shone my flashlight in front of me and said, "Let's go, let's see what's down there?" ”

"Do you want to come with us?"

Zhadan nodded his head like pecking rice, "If you want it, I'll be scared to death alone."

After Xiang Fei walked towards me, Zhadan was in the middle, and after walking for a while, the cave in front of me began to become a little messy, as if it had collapsed once, and there were some stones scattered on the ground.

Walking inside, we found some human bones, presumably smacked to death by the collapsed stones, and a faint cold wind blew in front of us.

"Be careful, it should come to an end", Xiang Fei reminded.

We're all nervous, what kind of place will it be at the end? Could it be the Netherworld?

There was a sound of water flowing in front of us, and soon a Yin River appeared in front of us, and there was also a chain bridge on the riverbank.

What appeared in front of us was a cemetery, just like the current cemetery, where the tombs were built one after another, and on the surrounding cliffs, hanging coffins were placed.

There are at least a thousand of them, and some of the graves on the ground have been dug up, and it seems that this is the place
