49: Bone Sacrifice
"It's probably the workers who built the tomb at that time." Ji Lanqian spoke behind him.
Qi Baye nodded and agreed with her statement.
At present, there is only this possibility, perhaps because of an accident during the construction of the tomb at that time, and he died in the water of this pool.
As soon as the guess was finished, Jiang He was taken aback, "Maybe it's true, the group of people who built the mausoleum back then are estimated to have all died here." ”
I saw countless white bones emerging from this water, floating densely on the surface of the water, which was terrifying.
Qi Tiezui raised his feet and took two steps forward, the bottom of the water is estimated to be not shallow, generally when building the ancient tomb, it is to retreat and go out, after this pool is the tomb road, basically has retreated to the periphery.
In the end, all the workers who built the ancient tomb were thrown into the pool and drowned, what kind of operation is this?
Pull the ladder up behind you?
In order to ensure the secrecy of this mausoleum, you can see how cruel it was at that time.
Ji Lanqian couldn't help but get goosebumps, she rubbed her arms, "There are so many bones, how can we get over?" ”
She looked at the sacrificial altar in the center, and felt more and more infiltrating.
Qi Tiezui looked at the surrounding environment left and right, it was absolutely impossible to pass in the water, it was estimated that there were water ghosts below, and it would be troublesome if he was accidentally dragged down as a substitute for the dead ghosts.
His gaze stopped on the uneven stone wall beside him, "I can only climb over." ”
Jiang He stepped forward to check, the stone wall was smooth, and the danger of crawling over it was extremely high, he took out the flying claw hook from his bag and threw it in the direction of the statue, which happened to hook the statue steadily, adding an extra layer of protection to them to climb over the stone wall.
"Eighth Master, you come first?" Jiang He gave way.
Qi Tiezui waved his hand at him, "You first, I'll follow you." ”
"Yes, I'll go first."
Jiang He put the bag on his back, and he didn't worry about the little brothers behind him, so he went to give them a few more words of nagging, and he still had to pay more attention to safety in the tomb.
Qi Tiezui turned around and took the rope, intending to tie himself and Ji Lanqian aside.
He hesitated for a moment with the rope in hand, staring at her.
"Miss Ji, that... I'm more relieved to tie you to me. ”
She glanced at him and immediately refused, "I learned rock climbing abroad, and my skills are better than yours, so I do more." ”
"No, what if I fall?"
"You don't want to tie a rope and take what I gave you down when the time comes, do you?" Ji Lanqian glanced up and down at Qi Tiezui, obviously his body needed protection.
Where is he in this image?
"Nonsense! How could I possibly do such a thing. Qi Baye continued to urge her, "Don't talk nonsense, raise your hand." ”
She snorted and raised her hand to meet him.
He reached close to her and tied the rope around her waist.
It was like he was hugging her.
The corners of her lips curled slightly.
At this time, Jiang He wanted to turn around and urge the eighth master to say a few words, but unfortunately he looked at Ji Lanqian, and the little girl's eyes were full of warnings, if he didn't bother with long eyes, it was estimated that she would pull out a gun against him later.
After Qi Tiezui tied the rope, he suddenly found that the two of them were too close, and he even smelled the fragrance on her body, which was sweet, it was her usual foreign perfume, as if it had been pickled.
Ji Lanqian stared at his movements with lowered eyes, and reminded him loudly, "Okay?" ”
He came back to his senses, quickly got up, and said with a search, "The waist is quite thin, eat more, too thin." ”
Slim waist?
She looked at him with a puzzled look in her eyes:
"Did you touch my waist?"
Qi Tiezui was so nervous that he almost choked on saliva, he shook his head, his mouth was bald, "No, no, no, no......"
Jiang He accidentally watched the full version on the side, and thought, damn, a little girl who hasn't grown up has been fished like this for the eighth master?
Ji Lanqian's expression was very proud.
"Come on, keep up." Jiang He spoke dryly.
As soon as Qi Baye heard that he was saved, it was important to hurry up and get down to business, he blamed him for his broken mouth, tied a rope around her waist, and his mind was full of her thin waist, and he said it with one mouth.
almost molested the eldest lady of the family, she wanted to be unhappy, and she must not let her commander father shoot him.
The stone wall under your feet is relatively close to the water, and it is a little slippery.
Jiang He is experienced and walks steadily, but Qi Baye behind him has been dragging him, for fear that he will fall.
"Ah, Brother Ermonkey, pull me, quickly." A frightened voice rang out.
The man beside Xue Hou suddenly slipped under his feet and fell, his hand did not grasp the rope, and after falling into the water, he subconsciously grabbed the white bone.
Xue Hou was taken aback, and tried to bend down to reach out to catch him, "Xiao Zhou, grab me." ”
As the words fell, something seemed to be in the water that grabbed Xiao Zhou's ankle, and when he pulled it down, the water turned directly blood red.
Xue Hou's hand shook and he almost fell himself, his perspective was clear, it was a big piranha.
The man in the water struggled, made a terrible sound, and was completely pulled into the water with a thud, and then the water was all bloody.
Qi Tiezui turned his head to look, muttering some incomprehensible incantations in his mouth.
"There are really piranhas, let's go!" Jiang He shouted and told them to run quickly, this is not the time to be sad.
A piranha suddenly jumped out of the water, and after jumping out, it threw itself into the bloody water, and this bloody breath attracted a lot of people who came to grab food, and it looked like it hadn't eaten for hundreds of years.
It makes people nervous all of a sudden.
The eighth master suddenly slipped under his feet, and subconsciously grabbed something.
Jiang He's pants were tight, fortunately he had a belt, otherwise his pants would have been ripped off by Qi Baye on the spot.
On the side, Ji Lanqian had already firmly grabbed Qi Baye's wrist, and asked him faintly, "Didn't you say it was to take me down?" ”
Qi Baye couldn't say it, "It's really not, it's just an accident." ”
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the supply platform, Jiang He looked at the team behind him, and the few younger brothers who followed were obviously frightened by this scene, and the piranha in the pool ate a person in five seconds, leaving nothing.
Arrived safely at the offering platform, and then looked back at the water, the piranhas inside were lively and terrifying.
Qi Baye untied the rope and went to check the statue.
Ji Lanqian thought that he would untie it for her at first, but in a blink of an eye, she went to see the statue, and she could only do it herself.
"White bone sacrifice, divine bird sky." Jiang He read the words carved above, as if he understood what it meant, the bones in the water were all used for the sacrifice of this statue.
"That's right, there was a small country in the Wei and Jin dynasties that believed in the sacred bird, their nominal divine bird was called the bird, and then somehow it became called the mourning bird, and the sacrificial things became more and more evil, at the beginning the bones of the bird were used, and later it developed into the use of human bones, which was to pray for blessings and help the dead tomb owner enter the gate of heaven to become immortals." Qi Tiezui analyzed.
This is the story that he has speculated about when he arrived here these days, and it is very likely that the gods are the remnants of this small country.
