Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Turning to the God of Life

Cheeky and I recalled that when we passed through the Fish Crying Cave, we said that Patriarch Hongjun was a big earthworm that turned into a spirit. It can be seen that if you don’t show your original form, you are a god, but if you show your original form, you are a monster. It all depends on how you look at it, through the ages Does the god in Yidi Village also have a real body?What will be her real body? Cheeky said: "She must have had bad intentions in bringing us here. When the original shape appears in the sacrificial pit, she will eat people!" I said that I think Tian Muqing didn't intend to hide it, I don't understand how she escaped from the village, and why she looked like ordinary people, she came back here to send the village to the ghost side?

I wanted to ask in person while I was still breathing, but Tian Muqing walked very fast, and in a blink of an eye he reached the depths of the dense fog, the divine way between the stone and the beast continued to move forward, but the person disappeared. He said cheekily, "You still want to follow? If she is really the monster in this village, then what should I do?" I said: "What I said in the cave was true, but I thought about it later, the ancestor Hongjun was transformed from a big earthworm, so what? Don't forget that humans are also transformed from monkeys. In this case In matters, don’t tell anyone.”

Cheeky said: "It sounds reasonable, what do you think she has in mind?" I said: "I think she is going to send the village to the ghost side. Then none of us can live. We must let her rein in the precipice." We tried our best to chase forward, but we were exhausted, and we had to take turns carrying big cigarette trays, and our legs were extremely heavy. The Shinto road in the west of the village is not long, but the weeds are as high as our knees, and the road is rough. It was not easy. After walking for a while, there appeared in front of me a Sumeru Hall pressed on the rammed earth mountain. Sumeru is a mountain in Buddhist legend. There is no such name, but the shape is similar to Xumi Temple, with a width of about nine rooms. In the old days, when it comes to area, it is customary to use the size of several rooms to describe it. According to the etiquette system, the width of a hall is nine rooms, and a room is One zhang, nine rooms is nine zhang, the scale is huge.

The four walls of this hall are also made of three-fold rammed earth and white-gray surface, double eaves and black tiles, which can be seen faintly in the fog. There are three stone steps on the outside, with seventy-two stone slabs on the upper floor and one hundred and eight stone slabs on the middle floor. There are one hundred and eighty yuan in the lower floor. I heard from the old man Zhou in Feixian Village that this layout is the same as the number of the sky. When I walked closer, I saw that the two temple doors had been pushed open, and the depths were dark and full of hell rotten smell.

Holding the torch high, I entered the Sumeru Hall as soon as I entered, and followed with a thick-skinned cigarette tray on my back. I saw that the pillars in the hall were all touching the wall, and in the middle was a large rectangular earth cave that went straight up and down, with many hollows around it. In the alcove, dead bodies covered with bark masks lay upside down, stacked like a wall, and the long and narrow stone ramp, supported by wooden pillars, leads around the wall to the bottom of the sacrificial pit, and the door is pushed open. Afterwards, wisps of mist drifted in from outside, allowing the light of the fire to illuminate, but seeing the white mist lingering, supporting all kinds of gods and monsters in the murals, it was like a dream of flying clouds, and being in the Nine Heavens Treasure.

There are copper lamps everywhere in the hall, and they are full of half-used candles. We lighted the candles casually, and when the candles were lit, a big hole collapsed on the roof of the hall. Big hole, thinking that the thing fell into the hall, we two were inexplicably horrified, and wanted to ask each other: "What could smash through the top of the hall, and it fell from the sky?" Together with this idea, we subconsciously peeked into the depths of the sacrificial pit, but saw a swaying flame, and we could vaguely see Tian Muqing's figure. She was walking down the sacrificial pit. The pillars were rotten, and creaked when stepped on, and several sections of the road collapsed. The diameter of the sacrificial pit was 30 meters away, and it went down to a depth of more than ten meters. , constantly sucking the body temperature, Youdao stretched out the stone beams that can't go up or down, just hanging in the middle of the cave, half of the stone beam ends with a stone platform in the shape of a beast's head, it's extremely thrilling, there are dead villagers everywhere along the way , some bark masks have fallen off, and the faces have turned into mummies, which seems to have sucked the life out of the sacrificial pit. There are still a few wooden stakes with iron rings on the suspended stone platform, and I don’t know how many times they have been used. , The stone beams of the stone platform are covered with mottled black bloodstains, obviously it is the sacrifice platform in the sacrificial pit.

We went up to the stone beam of the altar, and saw Tian Muqing lost his mind, holding the torch in his hand, motionless, looking down in a daze, I stepped forward and grabbed her, she trembled, and turned to look at us. I asked Tian Muqing: "Do you remember everything that happened in this village?" Tian Muqing had come to her senses at this moment, she neither nodded nor shook her head, as if she had acquiesced, and the strange look on her face recovered a little. I asked her again: "Do you want to die?" Thick-skinned reminded me: "Don't come to me, be careful that she reveals her true form and eats people!"

Tian Muqing said: "The original shape? What do you... mean?" I said, "If you are not a ghost in the Nuo Temple, how can you remember what happened thousands of years ago?" Tian Muqing said: "The god worshiped by the Nuo religion since ancient times is a living god with flesh and blood." Cheeky and I have already thought about this matter, but hearing Tian Muqing say it himself, I still feel horrified. Tian Muqing told us what she remembered. The ancestors of the Nuo people accidentally picked up four rectangular bronze ghost masks in a big mountain. The original shape was later destroyed in a sacrificial ceremony, and the mask was replaced by a bark mask, which was handed down to later generations. Most of the Nuo masks outside Qiangu Yidi Village are made of camphor wood.

Since the Han Dynasty, the village at the foot of Caoxie Ridge has preserved the oldest bloodline of the Nuo god. The Nuo religion is headed by the Nuo king, but above the Nuo king, there is another living god. Each generation is a young woman, and the village has the same clan The four families, the heads of the four families are all the elders of the Nuo religion, and the living gods of each generation come out of these four families. Every ten or twenty years, the village will hold a grand Nuo sacrifice cave ceremony. It is the name of an ancient country, and the four bronze masks are the sacrificial vessels of the ancient country of Guifang. Because the language and writing etiquette of Guifang cannot be understood by later generations, it can only be called the ancient country of Guifang with the ghost mask of square patterns, just like the "tiger country" in the Xia and Shang dynasties. Ancient countries such as "Fang Fang" and "Snake Fang" are all named after the shape of the totem. According to legend, thousands of years ago, there was a civil strife in Guifang, and ten people died. The surviving Guifang people fled to Mobei and never returned to the Central Plains. Emperor Zhou sent troops to conquer, and the ancient country of Guifang became extinct.

It is said that there are ghosts and ghosts on the bronze mask, and the sacrificial pit under the village can lead to ghosts in the legend of Nuo religion, because most people at that time believed that the ancient country of ghosts had disappeared. In fact, the ancestors of Nuo religion just came from The ghost mask learned that there is such a sacrificial pit here, and whenever the black dog eats the moon, blood sacrifices will be held in the village to send the unresolved evil spirits into it. Although the status of the living gods in Qiangu Yidi Village is higher than that of the Nuo King, they are only sacrifices sent to the altar. If a living god dies, the next living god will appear in the four families. Once selected, Immediately send them to live in the Nuo Temple, and no longer have contact with ordinary villagers. The dead body is just a body. After the blood sacrifice, the living god will be reincarnated again. A body will be found among the women of the four families, waiting for the next blood sacrifice, and so on. .

Whoever is chosen by the living god to become the body will have crescent-shaped bloodstains on his forehead. It is said that there was a great plague that year. The ancient Nuo religion used bronze masks to invite the gods to chase away the plague. As a result, all four bronze masks were damaged, and the Nuo god stayed here ever since. There is no way to get away from the four people, and those four people are the ancestors of the four families in the village. I can see that there is a very shallow and thin bloodstain on Tian Muqing's forehead, like a birthmark, which is inconspicuous, but no one else has it. Presumably the female corpse in the ebony coffin is also the living god in this village, Huang Foye and the bandits I have seen Tian Muqing, and when the female corpse was uncovered, those people standing in front of the coffin all had expressions of astonishment on their faces. They must have seen the same traces as Tian Muqing on the forehead of the female corpse. When the female corpse was seen in the tomb passage, the corpse appeared to be rotting, her face was like dry wax, and the blood on her forehead was no longer visible. Tian Muqing told us that in the first year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, the Nuo woman bewitched the villagers to cause rebellion. Those people wanted to worship the earth dragon as a god. After the death of the living god, although all the rebels were killed soon after, the gate to the ghost square in the sacrificial pit has been opened, but there is no living god in the village. The gods are placed in the inner and outer coffins. At the head of the ebony incense coffin, there is a small copper door for souls to enter and exit. That is for the living gods. The dead bodies will not be sent to the lower level of the underground palace until the next living god is identified. Buried in the tomb, the Nuo king let the four families flee to the outside of the mountain to preserve the blood of the ancient gods, while the rest of the villagers all wore bark masks to pray to the gods, and held a cave Nuo ceremony, which plunged the village into chaos and blocked the ancient gods. Stay at the gate leading to the ghost side. The four families who escaped from the village are scattered in various places. They keep sending living gods into the village, wanting to complete the blood sacrifice and make the gate leading to the ghost side disappear from now on. Qiu wandered around the village in a daze, but he still didn't forget to protect Tu Longzi's body. After that, all the people who entered the village and walked in the direction of Shinto were eaten by this monster. Due to the old age and repeated travels, there are fewer and fewer people in the four families, and they have forgotten what happened in the village. Tian Muqing didn't know anything about it before, and only gradually remembered when she came here. She is the fifty-third A living god who entered the village, those people in front of him did not complete the ceremony, it was a fluke, they bumped into the front of the temple by mistake, and cut off the Nuo woman's head from the meat mound, otherwise we would all be confused for no reason. She died in the Nuo King's Palace, and now she is going to complete the blood sacrifice, so that the village and the sacrificial pit will disappear from now on. Speaking of this, a layer of blackness appeared on her face, and her expression became very strange. With an indescribably strange expression on Tian Muqing's face, he walked towards the end of the altar's altar step by step, as if the living god on his body was waking up and was about to fulfill the ancient contract. Although I was apprehensive, I couldn't just watch Tian Muqing die here, so I stepped forward and snatched the bronze sword from her hand. Just about to throw the bronze sword off the stone beam, Tian Muqing suddenly turned around and grabbed it, the two fought in two, the bronze sword fell into the sacrificial pit, she swayed, and fell backwards like a loser. I hastily grabbed Tian Muqing and let her lean on the pillar. I saw her eyes were staring, her body was trembling uncontrollably, and she couldn't say a word. Ask me cheekily, what is Tian Muqing's current situation? I said, "She was possessed by a ghost, and that ghost wanted her to die in the sacrificial pit." Cheeky asked: "Can you save her?" I said: "If you can't be saved, you can be saved. According to my understanding, the ghost square is the underworld. In short, it is the place where people go after death. The village blocks the gate leading to the underworld. Once the blood sacrifice ceremony is completed, the village will melt. For Netherland, although the villagers have all died long ago, we haven't escaped yet." Cheeky understood it, and said: "Then we can't let her die, or all three of us will be buried with us!" I said: "If you don't give this village a funeral, you can't just leave her dead. She is a person of flesh and blood, and she can't live again after she dies." He said cheekily: "That's what I said, but now you and I are also mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, so we can't protect ourselves." I said, "It's too early to despair. This village hasn't really disappeared, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get here. Since we can come in, we should be able to get out." Tian Muqing said: "You guys... leave me alone, if I don't die in this cave, the curse on the day the village was destroyed will not disappear..." He said cheekily and anxiously: "There is no road in the village, so where can we escape?" I saw that the indescribably weird expression on Tian Muqing's face disappeared, and she returned to her previous appearance, I asked her: "Do you feel better?" Tian Muqing said: "I don't know why, the feeling of suffocation in the Nuo King's Hall came back again, suddenly I was very scared, but my mind was much clearer." Cheeky said: "It's not quite right, this place seems to be different from before, what kind of smell does it have?" I smelled it with my nose, and there was more blood in the gloomy sacrificial pit, but the surroundings were so dark that I couldn't see anything. I saw a few giant candles on the altar at the end of the stone beam, so I lit them with a torch. Only then did we see blood mist appearing in the sacrificial pit. We cut off the head of the Nuo woman on the meat mound in the village before, and the resentment that could not be dissipated turned into blood mist. At that time, we only saw it in our hearts. Hairy, I didn't expect to follow here. I thought to myself that there was a blood mist appearing in the hall, and I am afraid that there must be a way to get out, but we haven't found it yet. If we die in the sacrificial pit at this moment, there is no hope. As soon as I had this thought, my ankle suddenly tightened, and I was caught by a hand. The hand was cold and stiff, and the fingers were like iron hooks. I felt a sudden sharp pain. When I looked down, I was dead on the stone beam A villager stretched out his hand and grabbed my ankle. The witch mask on the face of the dead body had long since fallen off, and the mouth was as dry as bark, and it let out a strange cry like a night owl. The female corpse encountered in the tomb is almost the same. Panicked, I picked up the shovel and chopped down. The villager had been dead in the sacrificial pit for a long time. His body was almost rotten. His forearm was cut in two by the blade of the shovel. The mummy's severed hand kicked off the stone beam, and the dead man's nails had scratched off a piece of flesh on the calf, dripping with blood. The dead body of the villager with a severed hand made a strange noise, and stretched out his other hand to grab it. The thick-skinned man next to him made a quicker move, flipping the butt of his gun and smashing it down hard, but there was a "poof", and the dead man's head was knocked out on the spot. The flower was smashed open, but there was no blood spattering, but a cloud of blood mist emerged from the cavity and landed on the corpse of another villager next to it. The dead corpse grunted twice before standing up from the ground. Cheeky didn't wait for the dead body to get up, raised the gun, pulled the trigger, and blasted the opponent's head off with one shot. The villager's dead body swayed and fell on the ground without moving. Suddenly, a wisp of blood mist rose from the body and fell on the mummy next to it. Cheeky panicked and fired a second shot in a hurry, and the bullet hit the villager in the chest. The dead body of the villager was knocked down by the recoil, but without realizing it, he immediately got up and rushed forward with his arms outstretched. Feeling the empty pockets cheekily, he realized that there was no more ammunition, so he had to throw down the gun, draw out the mountain pick, and go to the villager for the first time, aiming to dig a hole in the opponent's head with a full pick. The villager standing up from the dead body stretched out his hands and just grabbed the handle of the pickaxe. He couldn't swing the pickaxe cheekily, and he couldn't get it back when he tried to grab it. Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, I immediately took two steps forward, grabbed the torch and poked the villager's face. Cheeky took the opportunity to snatch the pickaxe, and hit the pickaxe at the head. The pickaxe pierced the villager's head. The villager took a few steps back with the pickaxe, and fell to the ground on his back. Blood mist emerged from the hole pierced by the pickaxe again. It came out, permeated in the air, and the mist split into strands like living snakes, and got into the mouths of the dead villagers. The blood mist penetrated into the corpses of the villagers, and the dead people who were lying on the ground got up one after another, and rushed up the stone beam one after another, all rushing towards Tian Muqing. I knew in my heart that it was the spirit of the Nuo woman possessed by the dead, and there were hundreds of villagers who died in the sacrificial pit. We were blocked on three sides of the sacrifice platform, how could we resist it? Before I could think about it, the walking corpse had already rushed forward. Fortunately, the stone beam was narrow, and we waved our torches desperately to barely block the villagers. Jumping off the sacrificial pit, the bottom is black and rumbling, like a bottomless hole. If this earth cave is called a sacrificial pit, not a sacrificial hole, then there should be a solid ground below. According to the legend of the Nuo religion, the moment the black dog eats the moon, the sacrificial pit will become the gate to the ghost side, destroying the village. The blood sacrifice was not performed that night, and the door could not be closed since then. There were too many incomprehensible things in it. I went to the sacrificial pit, but I didn't know where the end of the cave was. I saw that the villagers possessed by ghosts were afraid of fire, and most of the dead bodies were decayed, so they moved slowly. They deliberately took the road to escape from the sacrificial pit, and went to the village to find a house with strong walls, which might be able to block the siege. As soon as I had this thought, a villager who put a torch on the stone beam suddenly spit out a mist of blood from his mouth, and his body fell to the ground. Hastily turned sideways to dodge, but the blood mist lingered around us, it seemed that it wanted to attach to the living person, the thick-skinned and I were terrified, the altar was hanging in the air, if we were not careful when dodging, we would stumble Falling into the sacrificial pit, don't care what's underneath, the fall will kill people, what should we do now? At this time, Tian Muqing suddenly heard saying: "Quickly pick up the bark mask of the Nuo Sect and put it on!" I was stunned for a moment when I heard the words, and immediately thought of the mandrill-shaped bark mask, painted in red and black, with a hideous and strange face. It was originally used to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. They all got into the villagers who had fallen bark masks. When we met the dead villagers with masks on their faces, we could only bypass them. The three of us hurriedly picked up the fallen Nuo masks and put them on our faces. Continue to wave the torch to block the villagers swarming from the stone beam. I thought about using torches to push back the walking corpses surrounding them. The four of them could exit the cave by the same route and return to the Nuo King Hall. That hall is the strongest building in the village. I can't care about the latter thing now. I made up my mind, and just as I was about to pick up the big cigarette tray, I heard a strange cry behind me. The three of us were only focused on using torches to block the villagers coming from the stone beam. We were all terrified when we heard the strange cry, because behind us was the slaughter altar suspended in the air. Although there were no dead bodies of villagers, there was still a big cigarette tray Lying there, the three of them were busy parrying, but they didn't expect to put a bark mask on Da Yandie'er. I turned my head and looked back, and saw Da Yandie'er had stood up, muttering loudly, with a gloomy face , the facial features are stiff, and the eyes are empty like a dead person. The big smoke dish was possessed by Nuo Po's ghost, and suddenly opened his mouth and stared, amidst the screams, he stretched out his five fingers and stretched out his hand to grab Tian Muqing. I stood there staring dumbfounded, and when I heard Tian Muqing's exclamation, I didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately took up the shovel and hit the big cigarette dish on the head, but the shovel stopped halfway down, and I knew that no matter who it was , once the body is occupied by the Nuo Po Yin spirit, it will attack people like a walking dead, and it will not be over until the head is knocked off. But thinking about the brotherhood and friendship with Da Yandieer, I couldn't let go anyway, but I couldn't watch Tian Muqing die, so I had no choice but to throw Da Yandieer on the ground, and the two At the same time, I parted my arms to block the hands that pinched my neck with the big cigarette tray. I felt that the other two hands were as powerful as iron hoops, and the blood on my body was even more foul. Thick-skinned saw that I was in a dangerous situation, he wanted to save me from the siege, holding a torch in his hand and poking the big cigarette dish in the face. Although I knew that the big cigarette dish had been turned into a walking corpse by the blood mist, I couldn't just watch the torch hit him on the head, and with all my strength on my waist, I grabbed the big cigarette dish and rolled it on the ground. The cheeky torch fell into the air, and with a "Thuo" sound, it poked heavily on the ground. At this time, another villager rushed from the stone beam. He and Tian Muqing hurriedly used the torch to stop them, and had no time to care about the situation behind them. The cigarette dish is gone, if you want to survive, you must kill yourself!" I was choked by a big cigarette dish, and I rolled down on the edge of the altar. I felt that the other party's hands were getting tighter and tighter, and my eyes turned black. In the chaos just now, all the shovels and torches fell to the ground, so I had to parry with one hand and reach for the shovel with the other, but when I reached out to touch it, there was nothing around me. My throat was tightly strangled by the big cigarette dish, and I couldn't break free anymore. I felt desperate for a while, and looked at the face of the big cigarette dish in a daze, which became as stiff and distorted as those dead villagers. In an instant, I thought of the situation where Huang Foye and his gang of robbers encountered a dead body in the underground palace. The female corpse in the ebony scented coffin was also immortal. , it seems that the Nuo mask made of bark can not only restrain snakes and insects, but also suppress ghosts and corpses. This thought flashed through my mind, like a sudden flash of lightning in a dark night full of clouds, I immediately took off my Nuo mask, turned it over and pressed it on the face of the big cigarette dish. The big cigarette dish made a weird cry, fell backwards, turned over from the altar and fell into the cave, I didn't grab him, seeing the bottomless darkness under the cave, and the person fell silently, my heart sank , knowing that the moment is not sad, I still couldn't hold back the tears, I gritted my teeth, picked up another bark mask and put it on my head, took the torch, and the big cigarette dish on my back, hello The two men walked up the cave. Seeing that the big cigarette dish was dead, the thick-skinned one also mobilized ruthlessly, pushing the villagers down one by one on the stone beam. Although there were many dead villagers, most of them were still wearing bark masks, and the rest were rotting corpses. The Yin spirit in the blood mist possessed him, and his movements were extremely slow. The road around the wall of the sacrificial pit was very narrow, and the villagers could not rush forward. I felt that I had a chance to escape from the main hall above the cave, and I also had a burst of courage. The three of them had just passed the stone beam, and at the same time, villagers who were possessed by blood mist attacked on both sides of the road. Cheeky poked with a torch, hitting a villager's face, the villager shrank back from the strange cry, cheeky red eyes, the torch continued unabated, and pressed the villager's head against the wall of the cave , stabbed in the opposite direction, blood mist came out of the dead body, and it didn't move anymore, and the front end of the torch was heavily pressed against the earthen wall, making a muffled sound of "Dang", but it seemed to hit a copper wall and an iron wall, and the torch broke. For two sections, the three of us were amazed and surprised. The sacrificial pit was clearly a large rectangular earthen cave, and there was no hard three-in-one rammed earth around it. How could there be such a sound? One end of the stone beam is the altar, and the other end is connected to the cave. Where the torch touched, there is a large piece of earth wall protruding outwards, covered with mud. When I came down from the cave, I was only looking for Tian Muqing. Pay attention to what is wrong here. Looking at the past by the light of the fire, there is a vaguely huge object standing there. It is obviously not a brick or stone, but it has been buried by dust and dust after a long time. The stone slab shook and made a sound of breaking. It turned out that the object was surprisingly heavy. The stone slab embedded in the wall of the cave almost collapsed. This cheeky move changed the focus of the object. And we fell down. The dirt was falling over it, and we finally saw that it was a huge aerial bomb, the kind dropped from a bomber, it was rusty, the details were unrecognizable, it looked like an old bomb, I heard people say The area around Gunma Mountain is an ancient battlefield. During the Anti-Japanese War and the Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, fighting near Gunma Mountain was also very intense. From time to time, fellow villagers picked up old bullet casings on the mountain. This should be a bomb that fell from the sky during the war and smashed through the roof of the temple. A hole was opened, with the warhead pointing down and the tail fin up, and it fell into the sacrificial pit evenly. It was either from the Japanese army or the American army. The Xiandun Lake is shrouded in thick fog all the year round. It is not surprising that the bomb was missed. It is said to be seven or eight hundred catties, but it did not explode when it hit the ground, or due to technical failures, if it catches up with the damn, it may make a sound when it is touched. It is said that aerial bombs dropped from a high altitude may still explode decades later. I heard that bombs dropped by the Japanese were found in forest farms in Northeast China. To carry it, I used a hammer to smash it, intending to smash it into several pieces, and then dragged the mules and horses out of the forest. How did I know that when the hammer was swung down, there was a bang on the spot, and the people and mules and horses were all blown up to the sky. A wildfire burned a large forest. I realized that the strength I had used to stab the bomb with a torch just now was really not small. If the bomb went off, the three of us would have been blown to pieces by now. One thought, bombs can fall into the sacrificial pit from the sky, we first found the mound of the ancient tomb in the village, entered through the tomb door and then came out, the original lake disappeared, Qiangu Yidi Village seemed to have fallen into the whirlpool of chaos , if the exit is not around the village, it must be at a high place, and the highest place is undoubtedly the ancient tomb in the village. Seeing me standing there in a daze, the thick-skinned man didn't know how to dodge when the bomb weighing hundreds of catties fell down, so he hurriedly pushed me: "You don't want to die, run away!" I thought of this in a flash, and just as I came back to my senses, the bomb in front of the stone beam had already fallen. The three of us were crowded on the narrow road and had nowhere to hide. We couldn’t catch such a heavy bomb if we wanted to. When they got down here, they all turned into meatloaf, and they had no choice but to retreat a few steps to the stone beam in a hurry. A loud bang was heard in the earlobe, and the trembling sound echoed repeatedly, and the big bomb fell heavily. , the stone road supported by wooden pillars on the cave, could not withstand such a heavy impact, and immediately collapsed, and the suspended stone beams also broke, and immediately fell into the depths of the cave. The stone beam lying in the mid-air of the cave collapsed. I don’t know how deep it will be until it reaches the bottom. I thought there was still life when I fell. I thought the limit was over. How could I know that the depth of the slaughtering platform was only more than ten meters, and the stone beam collapsed, just supporting it diagonally to the bottom? At the bottom of the cave, the three of them just slipped from the sloping stone beams, but they also fell dizzy. It seemed that their internal organs didn't belong to them anymore. It is said that the earth cave is the gate leading to the ghost side, but there is loose soil underneath. I felt weird in my heart, and was about to look around, when I heard another loud noise overhead in the dark. It turned out that the bomb was tilted The stone beam rolled down, and the shell of the bomb was rusted. It didn’t explode after several impacts, and it shouldn’t make any noise anymore, but the weight was still there, like a big iron roller rolling down from a high place, and the pressure could crush a person into a pulp. It was pitch black under the cave, and all the lights and candles on the slaughtering altar were extinguished. We heard something wrong, so we didn’t have time to get up, so we hurried to the side. An earthen pit lay motionless in front of the collapsed altar. I picked up the torch and lit it. Cheeky and Tian Muqing hid in time, not being crushed by the bomb. The three of them were still wearing bark masks. Still in shock. I picked up the shovel, took out two half-used torches from my backpack, and handed them to thick-skinned hands. Taking advantage of him and Tian Muqing lighting the torches, I turned my head and looked around, only to see the stone beam lying on the ground In the corner, there is a rectangular human face petroglyph on the wall. The eyes and mouth are three square holes. It is ancient and mysterious. The outline of the human face is similar to the mask of Nuo religion. It seems to be an ancient petroglyph left by the ghost people. Fang, it is precisely because of the face pattern on the square head that the ancestors of the Nuo religion found this cave according to the bronze mask of the ghost Fangren. This place can also be said to be the origin of the Nuo religion. The cave discovered by people is an underground altar?Or the tomb of ghosts? At this moment, Cheeky and Tian Muqing lit torches respectively, and the eyes became much brighter, and the three of them looked around uneasily. I looked at the height, and it seemed that I could climb up the cave from the slanted stone beams. I said: "Throw away all the extra things, and you will follow me when you get out of the cave. Most of the exits are in the village." The top of the mound of the middle ancient tomb." Thick-skinned hastily fastened the snakeskin bag containing the deer's first step and crown power treasure, and tied it behind his back. The body of the villager whose head had been pierced by the mountain pick also fell with the collapsed stone beam. In the hand, ready to go at any time, remembering that the big cigarette tray fell to the bottom of the cave just now, why didn't you see where the person was? I thought to myself: "It's not a good thing for a big cigarette dish to fall from a stone beam into an earthen cave, but it will bubble up? But I can't leave him alone." He said cheekily, "Since he fell into the cave, why did he disappear? Did the bomb crush him into meatloaf?" I didn't see the bomb hit the person. The place under the cave was not small, and the three of them were in one corner. The torch could only shine seven or eight meters away from them, and the bomb blocked them, so they couldn't see the situation on the other side. Although we are in a dangerous situation and everything is unknown, the pit of sacrifice is not a bottomless pit. Now that we are on the ground, there is nothing weird about it. The thick-skinned and I are more courageous. If you want to see a person die, you need to see a corpse. Tian Muqing said: "Da Yandie has been entangled by the ghost of Nuo Po. You also know that the resentment will not dissipate unless his head is chopped off. No one can save him. If you can escape from the village, you should run for your own life as soon as possible. That’s right, don’t lose your life here.” I knew that Tian Muqing was right, but I still couldn't give up. I heard what she meant, that she didn't want to go out of the cave. I was about to ask her, but suddenly I saw a figure swaying in the fog, and those villagers were chasing her down. The bottom of the cave is no better than a stone beam, because of the narrow terrain on the stone beam, it can still support for a while. Once under the siege of the cave, it is a place where everyone dies without a burial. We knew that the terrain below the cave was unfavorable, and we couldn't resist the villagers driven by the blood mist, so we had to retreat to the other side of the bomb first, sweating in our hands, and staring straight ahead. The outer casing of the huge bomb was corroded and mottled, and it was as high as half a person on the ground. It did not explode when it fell into the cave, so it was probably a waste bomb. I said to Cheeky and Tian Muqing: "When the villagers approach, the three of us will push the bomb forward, how many of them will not be crushed when we roll over?" Cheeky said: "It's an idea, have you thought about it, what should you do next?" I said: "What the hell is there to do next..." Before I could finish speaking, a villager opened his mouth and screamed strangely, and rushed out of the fog first. Cheeky shouted: "Those living dead are coming, I told you two not to watch, hurry up and push the bomb!" The three of them pushed the ground with their feet, supported the bomb with their hands and shoulders, and pushed forward together with all their strength. Unexpectedly, the ground under the cave was not smooth, and the bomb was extremely heavy. After several times of force, not only did they not move forward. Half a point, instead, it wobbled and wanted to roll towards us. The villager came to him in a blink of an eye, stretched out his hand to grab Tian Muqing, swung the pickaxe brazenly, and knocked the villager down to the ground, a cloud of blood came out and gathered in the cave. I saw that Tian Muqing only had a torch in his hand, and I dragged her back a few steps, when I suddenly heard a strange scream coming from behind. Standing gloomy behind me, the bark mask on his face has fallen off, and his eyes are like two godless black holes. I was apprehensive before, like beating a wolf with hemp stalks, I was afraid at both ends, but now that something happened, I became helpless, and I chopped off with the shovel in my hand, cutting off half of the big cigarette's head, and seeing his body immediately fell to the ground, I His hands trembled uncontrollably, his heart felt like a knife stabbed him, the shovel seemed to be cut on his own head, but when he turned around, the light of the fire also shone on the things deep in the cave.
