Xiang Fei also fell asleep. He seemed to be sleeping deeply and walked out gently. It was a good weather tonight, the sky was clear and the moonlight was bright, and the hazy light fell on the earth.
The mountain peaks were faintly visible in the distance, and everything was quiet. It seemed that it was midnight. The Qiang people had all gone to sleep. The entire village was plunged into darkness. Under the moonlight, a vague outline could be seen.
I randomly found a remote place to urinate, and suddenly a cold wind blew in the calm night, which made me shiver and my mind suddenly cleared up.
'Rustling', the trees in front were swayed by the wind, and the leaves made a rustling sound. Somehow, at this moment, I suddenly felt a sense of fear in my heart, and I hurried back.
I was walking in a panic, accidentally tripped, and fell to the ground. Fortunately, I was wearing thicker clothes now, so I didn't suffer any injuries. However, the ground felt wet and a little sticky. I knew by feeling that it was not water. It should be blood.
"I was injured, but why didn't I feel any pain?"
I picked up my hand and looked at it, and I was shocked. Through the moonlight, I could clearly see that there was blood on my hand. When I looked at it, the entire mountain recess where I was was covered with large amounts of blood, which seemed to seep out from the ground. .
The cold wind blew, and the surroundings became gloomy. I felt like someone was looking at me from behind. I turned around instinctively. Not only was I scared to the point of death, but behind me, a dark figure stood at some point.
I couldn't see what it looked like, but the black shadow just stood behind me, silently, seeming to be watching me, like a demon staring at its prey.
I ran as fast as I could and ran back to the room. I was so panicked that I made a loud voice, and Xiang Fei was awakened.
He turned on the light and saw the panic on my face and asked, "What did you do?"
I sat down and drank a glass of water to regain my breath. Panting heavily, I picked up my hand and showed it to Xiang Fei. The strange thing was that there was no blood on it, only soil.
There was a shocked expression on my face. I thought I had seen it wrong, so I shook my head again. When I saw there was no blood at all on my hands, only dirt, I said, "No way, I saw it clearly."
"Is the scene I just saw an illusion because I drank too much?" I whispered, "It's impossible. The scene just now was so real. I could clearly feel the pain of falling to the ground, and my hands were still covered with mud. ".
"What's wrong with you?" Xiang Fei asked again.
So I told him about the scene I met just now when I was out on the street.
After listening to what I said, Xiang Fei also fell silent. For a while, the whole room could hear a needle drop. After a while, Xiang Fei said: "It seems that this is not an illusion, but that there is real trouble."
"How to say?"
Xiang Fei said, "I'm afraid the devil has already followed."
"What?" I was startled, "No way."
"I'm not sure, it's just intuition." Xiang Fei shook his head, "The devil is around us, lurking beside us, waiting for the opportunity to kill us, and you are the most important piece in this eternal mystery. As a chess piece, everything will change because of you. The devil will definitely monitor you all the time. It seems that this trip to the Qiang tribe will not be as simple as expected!"
The devil has already followed, and it is probably hiding among the people around us. It may be any Qiang person, or it may be just a stranger. It is lurking in the dark, watching us.
I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it, being stalked by a thousand-year-old demon, and I might become its prey at any time.
"Then what does it want to do after following us?"
"I don't want us to know too much, or things we shouldn't know. I have a hunch that it will kill some people who are helpful to us."
"Okay, it's still early, let's sleep a little longer. We have to go to the Qiang main village with Elder Taji tomorrow. Don't worry, that devil won't do anything to us now. It won't do anything to us until the last moment. It will show its true form."
Of course I understood what he meant, but I always had an ominous feeling in my heart, feeling that something I didn't want to see would happen this time.
We slept until dawn, and breakfast was already served. After breakfast, Elder Taji was already ready and took us off.
The main village of the Qiang people is in the deep mountains. There is no road there, so we can only get there by walking. With our foot strength, we can reach it in the afternoon.
Fortunately, although Elder Taji is old, his physical fitness is still good. According to him, reaching the destination should not be a problem.
I was accompanied by several young men from the Qiang ethnic group, one of whom was Zadan, who was dueling with me last night.
When the young man saw me, he greeted me warmly and said he would like to have a drink with me if he had the chance. We were all walking on mountain roads and everyone was very careful. The mountains here are generally high and steep, and landslides are prone to occur. Yes, maybe a stone will fall down while walking on the mountain. Fortunately, it hasn’t rained heavily recently, so the mountain road is easier to walk.
Seeing that it was already noon, we were all a little tired, and we were ready to sit down and rest. If we continued walking, it would only take another two or three hours. We young people could still hold on, but Elder Taji was old after all, and he couldn't bear it.
One hundred and twelve Qiang tribe chief
Seeing that it was already noon, we were all a little tired, and we were ready to sit down and rest. If we continued walking, it would only take another two or three hours. We young people could still hold on, but Elder Taji was old after all, and he couldn't bear it.
I sat down to eat the corn buns and dried bacon that I had brought out in the morning. At this time, at the other end of the road, there was a suona sound, the kind played by the dead.
After a while, I saw a group of people wearing mourning clothes, with two suona players in front and a coffin behind them.
The Qiang people still retain the ancient funeral customs and pay attention to burial. This is not surprising. We have to give way quickly. If you don't give way when there is a funeral, that is a bad thing.
There were men, women, and some children in the funeral procession. They seemed to belong to a certain Qiang village, a small Qiang village.
The wind blew in the mountains, paper money was flying in the wind, and the funeral procession passed in front of us. Everything was so peaceful. Suddenly Xiang Fei poked me with his hand and whispered: "Look at that coffin."
Only then did I notice that the coffin carried by the crowd was the same as the hanging coffins we saw in the Shu Tomb.
Although the hanging coffins in Shu tombs are not much different from ordinary coffins, they have a distinctive feature, that is, the four corners are square, and the entire coffin body remains parallel, unlike the modern Han coffins, which have all four corners elliptical. , no obvious water chestnuts.
We looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes. Here we saw the same coffin as the ancient Shu people. What does this mean? It shows that the Qiang people should be closely related to the ancient Shu people.
But then we saw scarlet blood flowing out of the coffin and dripping on the ground, which was so shocking.
Xiang Fei and I were both surprised, "There is something wrong with this coffin," we both thought.
Xiang Fei winked at me and recited Yin Yang Taoism. A yellow talisman flew out of his hand and hit the coffin.
I saw a burst of black smoke rising from the coffin, the lid of the coffin suddenly opened, and a man covered in blood sat up from inside. The scene suddenly became a mess, and several men jumped out from the funeral team, looking at us with cold eyes. , the others screamed and ran away.
The bloody man in the coffin is obviously dead and has become half human and half ghost. Isn't this the same as the evil law of ancient Shu?
However, this half-human, half-ghost with the appearance of a bloody man is far from successful. It will take at least seven or forty-nine days to be buried before it can become a human body and a ghost soul.
Unfortunately, we met us on the way and were knocked over by us. The three men who jumped out were obviously the inheritors of this evil method, what they called wizards in ancient Shu.
Elder Taji was also shocked, "This is an ancient evil method of the Qiang people. It is said to be able to protect people from death. Because it is too evil and cruel, it was banned a long time ago. It should have been lost long ago. Why?" Appeared again?"
The three men all appear to be Qiang people. Now our side has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers in the field, but of course we will definitely not fight like ordinary people. The only way to test our skills is with fighting skills.
We are not so sure in the battle of skills. After all, there are three people on our side. We only have Xiang Fei and me. It depends on our moral skills.
In the coffin, the bloody man let out a shrill cry and struggled continuously. The flesh and blood all over his body began to rot. Now that he saw the light, he would definitely die, and a large pool of blood flowed out.
"Who are you? How dare you spoil our good deeds?" one of them asked coldly.
Xiang Fei and I did not answer, but asked: "Who are you? Where did you get this harmful evil method?"
"Of course we are the disciples of the great wizard of the Qiang people. What kind of evil method? This is the magic that my ancestors of the Qiang people got from the immortal gods. If you dare to destroy our magic, prepare to be punished."
After speaking, the three of them made strange movements, as if they were performing some kind of ritual, and spoke in a language we couldn't understand. Then we saw a strong wind and the sky became dark, as if there were thousands of ghosts coming towards us. We rushed over, and squirming corpses crawled out of the ground. For a moment, it felt like we were in hell.
Xiang Fei and I were also very surprised. The witchcraft and evil methods passed down by the Qiang people are really extraordinary. However, it was unlucky for them to encounter Yin Yang Feng Shui masters, especially two of them.
"All laws in the world, headed by Yin and Yang, break them for me," Xiang Fei shouted.
The magic of Yin and Yang was played, and thousands of ghosts and monsters around me disappeared in an instant, and I took out the soul-suppressing lamp and lit it, hey! This thing was more effective than the art of yin and yang. The restless ghosts immediately retreated, and even the squirming corpses on the ground crawled back.
The three of them were taken aback, and then turned around and ran away. We couldn't catch them. The three people started running in the mountains, just like monkeys, and disappeared into the woods in a while.
Seeing that we couldn't catch up, we stopped and met Elder Taji and the others.
Elder Taji looked a little strange at this moment, staring at the soul-calming lamp in my hand, "Where did you get this thing from?"
Where it came from, I can’t tell you. I can only say that Lord Hei gave it to me. Could it have something to do with the Qiang people?
Sure enough, Elder Taji shook his head and said, "According to the historical records of our Qiang people, this thing should be a sacred object enshrined by the ancient ancestors. It was used to sacrifice to connect the heaven and the earth. It is said that a demon is suppressed in it."
"This thing is a bit ominous. I advise you not to keep it with you."
I nodded. The soul-killing lamp is too mysterious. I'm afraid only the people who used it in the first place knew about it. Now we can only wait and see what happens.
Continuing to rush to the main village of the Qiang people, Elder Taji said that only the chiefs of the Qiang people know more. We have also learned before that the so-called chiefs of the Qiang people are actually the chiefs of this area, because the Qiang people are now distributed in many places, including Among those who live together with other ethnic groups, only the Qiang people in this place can be considered to have truly retained their original customs.
The main village of the Qiang people is also in a large mountain. It is not far from Huanglong. The scenery is very beautiful and there is an endless stream of tourists. Under the leadership of Elder Taji, we entered the village.
This village was much larger than the previous one, surrounding several mountains. Young men and women of the Qiang ethnic group came out in groups.
We directly found the leader of the Qiang tribe. His name was Atalma. He was nearly 70 years old, but he was still in good spirits. He greeted us warmly when he saw us.
Elder Taji simply told him the purpose of our visit, and the old man's expression suddenly changed, as if he had become much older.
After a long time, he sighed and said: "What is supposed to come will always come. I thought this was just a legend, but I never expected that it actually happened."
"In the ancient history of our Qiang people, it is said that in the ancient prehistoric period, when the yin and yang of heaven and earth first opened, all things appeared in the world, and demons and ghosts were rampant. At that time, the ancestors of the Qiang people, that is, the ancestors of the entire Huaxia people, in order to protect future generations If they can continue to reproduce, they will have an earth-shattering battle with these demons and monsters. The result of the battle is naturally that the ancestors of the Huaxia tribe win. But then something seems to have happened. The demons that were originally suppressed and sealed escaped. Although they were joined by the ancestors, It was sealed, but they were all seriously injured at the time and could not kill the demon at all, so they sealed several parts of its body in several places, and the soul-killing lamp in your hand is where to open these seals. key".
"Later, the world began to get back on track, and the civilization of human ancestors began to flourish. It was at this time that our Chinese ancestors gradually developed. The history of the ancient times was gradually forgotten by people, until it became a legend, and those legendary people Immortals and gods have also disappeared since then."
Peipeihe, the leader of the Qiang tribe, said, "In the long development of human civilization in ancient times, there have been many turmoils, chaos in the world, and evil forces. The Qiang tribe actually developed from a branch of ancient Shu. According to historical records, An unimaginable disaster occurred in the ancient Shu Kingdom back then, which seemed to be related to the demon sealed in the ancient prehistoric times. The evil force eroded ancient Shu and wanted to open the sacred land where the demon was sealed, but was eventually stopped. However, this matter is far from over. , There were too many things that happened in the ancient Shu Kingdom. They seemed to have obtained some kind of mysterious power, peeked into the forbidden secrets of heaven and earth, and thus obtained the method of becoming immortals, but all of this eventually disappeared along with the long river of history." .
The leader of the Qiang tribe sighed heavily, "We tried our best to become an immortal, but in the end it was all in vain. After all, it was lost in history. Later, when the ancient Shu Kingdom fell, my ancestors of the Qiang tribe survived by luck. An ancient legend has been passed down by the Qiang people for generations, saying that when the Big Dipper aligns, it is the day when the devil is reborn, and it is also the day when disaster strikes the Qiang people. This was the curse cast by the devil back then, but I didn’t expect it to come true.”
Xiang Fei and I were not surprised. We had already guessed it when we came. But what we didn't understand was, 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 erosion by evil forces. The devil took this opportunity to escape part of it, which is one of its souls. The power of the devil is beyond our imagination. If the legend is true, Then it really was born in the ancient mythological era. Or maybe it was released by those people back then."
"those people?"
The leader of the Qiang tribe looked at me and said, "Your surname is Liu, and you are also a Yin Yang Feng Shui master. You must be after Liu Gong in the Republic of China, right?"
I was a little surprised, "You also know my grandfather?"
"I can't say we know each other. When your grandfather came here, I was just a child and saw him."
I was even more surprised. I didn’t expect that my grandfather had also been here. “What is he doing here?”
"The person who had the same purpose as you and wanted to uncover this eternal mystery was unfortunately killed by the devil in the end."
"What do you know?" I was inexplicably excited. Maybe this time I could learn something about my grandfather from the Qiang people.
"Your grandfather and my father were good friends back then. When your grandfather came here for the last time, he asked my father to let us tell him something if his descendants will continue to investigate in the future."
"What are you talking about?" I asked nervously.
The leader of the Qiang tribe called everyone around him out, and then looked at Xiang Fei.
I nodded and smiled, "It's okay, just tell me, he is also the one investigating."
The leader of the Qiang tribe nodded and said: "This sentence is very strange. I have never understood it. I will tell you now. I hope you can understand it."
"When the sun rises in the east, the place closest to the sky and the earth will shine with the most brilliant light! When the stars change, the door to immortality will open."
"That's it. Remember it. It may be the final 'key' to find the place where you can become an immortal."
I nodded and asked, "Did my grandfather come here alone?"
One Hundred and Thirteen: Sacrifice to Ancient Land
"It was a man. The last time he came, he seemed to have a premonition that his time was running out. He told my father that the devil was hiding beside him, killing one person after another, but it seemed..." .
"Like what?"
"It seems that your grandfather knew who the devil was in the end, but he seemed to be afraid of something and didn't say it. As for the other things, I don't know. These are just what my father told me."
My heart became heavier and heavier, who is the devil? Why do you keep hiding your identity? What do your grandfather’s words mean? It sounds like it's related to the Immortal Land. Is it a place name?
At this time, the leader of the Qiang tribe said again: "You look like the same person"!
"How to say?"
"You look like General Shu Yuan of the ancient Shu Kingdom."
As soon as these words came out, both Xiang Fei and I changed our minds. It was obvious that the leader of the Qiang tribe knew much more than we thought.
"Please tell the clan leader in detail."
"I don't know. I saw this when I followed my father to the ancient worship site of the Qiang people. There was a mural there. My father said that the man in it was General Shu Yuan of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Hey! It's full of legends. A character, it is said that he is the incarnation of a god general, he has killed demons and monsters, and his 100,000 troops are invincible. If he had not been killed by a traitor later, I am afraid history would have been rewritten."
"Do you know why I'm telling you this?" The Qiang clan leader's face suddenly became solemn.
"Why?"
"Because the sacred land that seals the demons is made of the blood of General Shu Yuan. Perhaps the key to killing the demons is you. Let's do it! It's too late now. Tomorrow I will take you to the ancient sacrificial land of the Qiang people. You guys Go explore”.
Hearing what he said, we could only nod in agreement. It was already afternoon when we arrived, and it was almost dark outside. The Qiang chief had already ordered people to prepare food and arrange accommodation for us.
After dinner, we went to bed early. The night seemed peaceful, but there was an imminent storm. Will the devil hidden in the dark appear?
Just in case, we set up a yin-yang circle around the room. I have a feeling that something will happen tonight.
In the middle of the night, there was a strong wind outside, and soon it started to rain heavily, with lightning and thunder, which made people feel very uneasy. We didn’t fall asleep until the middle of the night. Before we woke up in the morning, we listened to Taji The elders and the others called outside.
When I got up and opened the door, I saw Elder Taji and the others walking in with ugly faces, "Something bad is going to happen."
'Clud' A bad premonition immediately arose in our hearts, "What happened?" "Chief Ata died last night," Elder Taji said in a deep voice.
Xiang Fei and I stared wide-eyed, and it took us a while to realize, "The clan leader is dead, how did he die?"
"It must have been at midnight last night. I heard from his family that he left peacefully."
We both looked at each other, and what we were worried about happened. In fact, we should have thought that the devil would not attack us yet. Chief Ata knew that the Qiang people worshiped the ancient land, and part of the devil was sealed there, so it was very likely that he would attack him. Now that the clan leader is dead, I'm afraid no one in that place knows about it.
Sure enough, when I inquired later, in the entire Qiang tribe, only the chiefs knew about the ancient sacrificial place. Because it was left by the ancestors of the Qiang tribe, it was listed as a forbidden place. Later, only the chiefs of the past generations knew about it. Now we have to rely on ourselves.
Elder Taji and others have already helped deal with the funeral affairs of the clan leader. The Qiang people in this area will come here in the near future. The death of the clan leader is a big event in the Qiang clan.
The chief of the Qiang tribe is passed down from family. If there is no descendant of the chief and no male, then the tribe will elect a highly respected person to take the position. When Chief Ata dies, his successor will be his son, who is also an old man of half a century. But he has to wait for Chief Atta. Succession can only be formalized after all the funeral arrangements are completed.
He found us and told us what Chief Ata had left for me. It turned out that after he learned the purpose of our visit, he had already foreseen that something bad would happen to him, but he did not want his family to suffer, so he did not treat the Qiang people. The sacrifices were spoken in ancient times, and the words left to us are the only clues.
"The top of the mountains, the heart of the earth, the place where mountains and rivers meet." After the old man said these words, he turned around and walked away. After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "I advise you not to go to that place. If anything happens, Unexpected, we are also responsible... In short, for your own sake and for ours, you'd better leave here as soon as possible!"
Of course we understand what the patriarch's son said, but we can't just leave like this. The devil has already entangled us. It's too late to retreat now, so we can only keep fighting with it.
Everyone in the village was busy with the clan leader's funeral affairs. Only the two of us seemed a little out of place, and no one paid any attention to us.
Xiang Fei looked at it and said, "Now we have to search for it ourselves. The sentence left by the Atta clan leader is the key. Let's decipher it according to his sentence."
After packing our things and preparing some simple adventure tools, we set off towards the mountains.
'The top of the mountains, the heart of the earth, the intersection of mountains and rivers', this is obviously a Feng Shui treasure land, which means that the entrance to the ancient sacrificial place is in the center of the treasure land. Let's start with the Yin and Yang Feng Shui!
Of course I understand what Xiang Fei means. Obviously, Patriarch Ata left this sentence because we understand Yin and Yang Feng Shui!
The Qiang area is mountainous. In our area, there are many mountains. The mountains are overlapping and intertwined. Without certain attainments in Feng Shui, it is difficult to see the trend of the mountains and rivers here.
Before we knew it, we had gone deep into the mountains. The cliffs here are steep and the giant trees are so tall that it felt a bit cold when walking inside. From time to time, we heard the sounds of animals, mountain monkeys jumped on the trees, and fallen wild fruits hit us. On the body.
It had just rained and the mountain road was very slippery. We walked very slowly. If we did not live in a hilly area, we would not be able to walk here at all.
A corner of the thatched house was vaguely visible in front of us. As we walked over, we saw an old man walking down the mountain carrying a few pheasants. It seemed that he was a hunter here.
The hunter entered the thatched house, and we followed him. We saw him sitting in the house putting the pheasants into a bag. I took out a cigarette and handed it to him, "Old man, we are here to explore. Could you please tell me about this area?" Are there any particularly dangerous and inaccessible places?”
The old man smiled at us with the simplicity typical of mountain people, took the cigarette, lit it and started smoking, "You came to this place to explore, you are really in the right place."
With an innocent Sichuan accent, he should sound like a Han Chinese.
"Uncle, you must be Han Chinese, right?"
"Of course, otherwise the Qiang people would still be hunting here alone."
"During the Cultural Revolution, I had a fight with people from the production team and injured them. I was afraid of being arrested and jailed, so I hid in the mountains. I was a childless and lonely old man. They earn living expenses by catching game meat and selling it outside. When people get old, they may not be able to move even if they want to in a few years."
The old man told us a lot. He has lived here for more than 40 years and can be said to be the person most familiar with this area. According to his story, we learned that there is an extremely dangerous place not far away. This place is surrounded by mountains and criss-crossed by rivers. One of the mountains is called Falling Eagle Cliff. As the name suggests, if an eagle falls, it will fall to death.
We thanked the old man and followed his directions and rushed towards Falling Eagle Cliff. The sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain again, which would make it even more difficult to walk.
It was already noon, so we found a place to rest, ate some food we had brought, and drank some water from the creek nearby.
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 another two hours' walk."
After a good rest, we climbed the mountain. Now our route is to go to western Sichuan, close to the western Sichuan Plateau, which is the Qinghai-Tibet region.
Standing on the mountain peak and looking in all directions, in our northwest direction, we can vaguely see the mountains in the hazy mist, exuding majestic momentum, like a fairyland.
"It should be there. I don't know if the ancient Qiang sacrificial place is there," Xiang Fei said.
We quickened our pace and hurried on. The sky was getting darker and darker. It looked like it was going to rain. Sure enough, it started raining heavily after a while. We had to find a cave under the cliff to hide.
"I don't know how long this rain will last. It looks like it won't stop anytime soon."
The wind blew in the mountains, making people feel chilly. The grotto where we stood seemed to be a natural formation, washed away by rain over the years, but I inadvertently saw some words carved on the wall of the grotto. The exact origin It is said that it should be a pattern, because it has been through so long that it has become a bit blurry.
I motioned to Xiang Fei to come over and take a look. These patterns looked very much like ancient Shu characters.
"These patterns should be the early writing of the Shu people, which is at the beginning stage of the ancient Shu civilization. This place or the surrounding area should be a place for the activities of the Shu people," Xiang Fei said.
Then we walked into the grotto and discovered that there was a cave to the right in the innermost part. When we looked inside with a flashlight, we found that it was a natural cave filled with bones. Although there were no coffins, they were all arranged in an orderly manner. , the bones were wrapped in coarse cloth, obviously this was a burial place for ancient Shu people.
At that time, because civilization had just developed, the ancestors of the Shu people migrated all the way. Due to the harsh environment or other reasons, many people must have died. At that time, the only way to simply bury the dead was to bury them. There are so many bones here. It is obvious that This place used to be a relatively large activity place for Shu people.
The early Shu people lived here for a long time, and it was even an important place for the Shu people. We all vaguely felt that the ancient sacrificial place of the Qiang people was coming soon.
Xiang Fei and I got in, and the bats hiding inside were disturbed and strung together. After a rough look, we found that there were about three to four hundred corpses inside, divided into rows and layers.
The two of us squatted down and observed carefully. On the surface, these corpses seemed to have died very naturally. We don’t know what method the Shu people used to preserve the corpses at that time. Although there are only mummies left now, they are all Still relatively complete.
When I shined the flashlight, the hollow look in his eyes was a bit hairy.
Xiang Fei looked at it for a while and then said: "Judging from the bones, the age of these people during life is equivalent to the middle age of our modern people. Although it seems that they died normally, in my opinion, they were killed They died by draining their blood so that their bodies could be preserved so well because their bodies were already shriveled up when they died."
"You mean they were sacrificed?"
"It should be like this. What happened in the first place? To make the Shu people perform such a bloody and crazy sacrifice?"
Neither of us could understand that such large-scale sacrifices were carried out by people, and even members of our own tribe were used for sacrifices. This is probably rare in the entire history of China.
And we saw some simple murals on the walls of the cave, which seemed to be carved at random, maybe due to haste.
One hundred fourteen Falling Eagle Cliff
Although simple, it shocked us. The scenes depicted in these murals were of Shu people making sacrifices, just like scenes from the mythical era. Together they gave us the message that demons appeared in the territory of Shu people at that time. , killed many tribesmen, and some tribesmen were even bent over by demons and enslaved their souls, and an unprecedented disaster struck.
In order to defeat the devil, the sacrificial prophet of the Shu people tribe suggested a way, which is to obtain powerful power through blood sacrifice, thereby defeating the devil.
The blood sacrifice was presided over by the tribe's most powerful sacrificial mage. The process was somewhat similar to what I had seen in the tombs of Shu before, but there were differences. In short, it was very weird and the scene was full of blood and brutality. In the end, the sacrificial mage placed the sacrifice on the corpses. Mysterious incantations were written on the shroud.
The outcome of this disaster is not stated above, and we cannot guess it.
We took a look at the coarse cloth wrapped around the bones and found that there were indeed mysterious incantations on them.
"This is a spell from the ancestors of the ancient Shu people. It has been lost to the later Shu Kingdom. It's a pity that we can't understand it. Otherwise, we might be able to find a way to deal with the devil in it," Xiang Fei said.
"Look there." Xiang Fei gestured with his hand for me to look at the top of the cave. There was a body sitting there.
Somewhat surprised, we walked slowly over and took a flashlight, and found that the corpse's head was buried deeply in our chest, and its long hair was spread out, making it impossible to see the face.
At this time, a dark wind suddenly blew in the cave, blowing the hair of the corpse. At that moment, we clearly saw a pair of strange human faces looking at us.
The atmosphere became inexplicably weird. I asked Xiang Fei why the corpse was sitting, but he didn't know.
"Then should we go up and have a look?"
Xiang Fei took a look at the corpse and said, "Go and take a look. Act according to the situation. If you find something is wrong, use Taoist charms to call him immediately."
Then the two of us slowly climbed up and got closer to the body bit by bit. Although it only took a few minutes, it seemed like a long time passed. I exhaled and we got closer to the body.
The corpse seemed to be kneeling on the ground. When we looked closely, we took a breath and found that the feet of the corpse were nailed to the stone, as if it was a heinous person.
And his hands were tied behind his back. There was a mural carved on the stone wall behind him. After seeing the mural, we were all a little horrified, "This is actually the incarnation of the devil?"
The mural depicts a man with disheveled hair, holding a weapon and killing Shu people wantonly. He was then subdued by the people, and then put on trial.
"What do you think?" I asked Xiang Fei.
"Who can say clearly? It happened thousands of years ago. We are not completely sure what happened at that time."
A dark wind blew from behind, and I shivered all over. When I looked back, I suddenly saw a dark figure standing at the entrance of the cave, just like what I had seen in the Qiang Village before.
The black shadow just stood there, motionless as if watching me quietly.
Xiang Fei saw something wrong with my expression, so he turned around and was startled, "Who are you?"
The black shadow didn't answer, and the scene became tense for a moment. We were both short of breath and sweating. Could this be the devil?
There was no word for a while, and the scene was completely silent. At this time, the black figure finally made a sound, not speaking, but a sinister laugh of "hehe", like an evil ghost from hell, making people stand on their backs with all the hair on their bodies.
After a sinister laugh, the black shadow disappeared. At this time, the changes occurred again, and the corpses in the cave started to move, as if ancient corpses were resurrected, and they crawled towards us.
"Light the soul-suppressing lamp quickly!" Xiang Fei said.
I also reacted and quickly lit the soul-calming lamp, but a strong wind blew from the entrance of the cave and blew out the lamp in an instant.
The two of us didn't care about that much. We could only use yin and yang techniques to deal with the climbing corpses. Magic circles and Taoist talismans were fired one after another, and the climbing corpses were reduced to ashes.
Suddenly I felt someone blowing cool air behind me, and I subconsciously looked back. I was almost scared to death. The kneeling corpse actually stood up and stood behind me, with its hair blown open by the wind. It faces each other.
The frightening thing is that it has no face, just the skinned one. It has a weird and inexplicable smile on its face and a pair of empty eyes looking at me.
"Hey," it stretched out a pair of withered hands and pinched my neck, lifting me up.
I felt the threat of death in an instant...but it seemed that it was not in a hurry to kill me, but wanted to slowly torture me to death like a cat playing with a mouse.
The Taoist talisman in Xiang Fei's hand turned into a ray of yellow light and hit it, but it didn't hurt it at all.
Then it put me down again and jumped down into the group of corpses.
Just like a arrogant person provoking, it stands among the corpses, with the mummies surrounding it, as if worshiping, it is like a high and high king.
It looked at us arrogantly, with such an expression that it didn't take us into consideration at all, as if to say that we were just like ants in its eyes, and it could kill us at any time.
Xiang Fei and I were both furious. It was an insult to be so despised by a corpse. As the saying goes, rabbits will bite when they are anxious, let alone us.
"The law of yin and yang is the way of the world." Xiang Fei shouted, and several yellow lights shot out from his body, forming a yin and yang array in front of him. It struck like thunder from the sky, and immediately the mummies fled in all directions like mourning dogs.
I also took this opportunity to light the soul-suppressing lamp. I couldn't care less in my desperation, so I casually recited the Yin-Yang Law, "The resentful souls and evil ghosts in the world all surrender under my feet."
This time, even it showed a cautious expression. Of course, this 'expression' could be seen from its movements.
I put the soul lamp in front of me, and drank: "Er and other ghosts are not fast!"
But seeing it laughed, a breeze blew up, and the dry corpse below turned into dust and disappeared, and it naturally disappeared.
I wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, and said, "It seems that it has followed."
Xiang Fei nodded, "Now it is only a part, with limited mana, there are still many restrictions during the day. You can only interfere with us. If you enter the ancient place, the situation will be much more serious. Kill us, but we don't want to let us know too much secrets. What do you think the sacrifice of the Dai people must be hidden in ancient times "?
I agree with Xiang Fei that this thing is hidden around us, and it may be the people around us. Now it shows a trace, indicating that we are not far from the sacrifice in ancient times.
After leaving the grotto, the two of us sat down and rest for a while, and the rain stopped.
Standing up, Xiang Fei looked at the distance, and his voice said a lot: "Go, presumably the real fighting is still behind."
I walked along the mountain road, and walked for more than an hour, and finally came to the destination ------ falling.
We stood on the mountain opposite the felling cliff. It really was famous. The entire cliff was as steep as the peak of the knife.
The mountain peaks are overlapping, and the ancient trees are vibrant clouds and mist, and the waterfall falls from the mountain, and there is a sound of a rough sound.
"Great momentum"! I sighed.
Standing here, it is as if he ascended to look far away, and the world's eyes are low, making life a king's energy.
"The world is in the palm of my hand," Xiang Fei also sighed.
With a hawk, looking up, I saw a goshawk dive down from the sky, and cut the kite at the bottom of the cliff at the cliff at the cliff.
"Falling the Eagle Cliff, it's because of this!"
Seeing this, we have all understood that the so -called falling eagle cliff is actually the destination of the goshawk. I have heard of it before that when the goshawk is about to grow old, they will die in a specific place. Below the cliff is their grave!
"I think this is the pursuit of their lives, and it is buried below after death."
I walked back and forth with my hands twice, and said with a smile: "Master Xiang Fei, take this opportunity to point to Jiangshan!"
Xiang Fei also laughed at a haha, "I dare not point to Jiangshan, talk about the wind and water here!"
"Haha, then please ask first," I stretched my palm.
"Contract, forces!" Xiang Fei hugged.
.........
"Well, although there is no dragon in this place, it has the spirit of the king. Qi? It is momentum, luck, and the number of fate in Feng Shui. All things in all directions are coming to worship. Looking at the waterfall in the mountains, it is not the meaning of purple gas, and the meaning of flying Huang Tengda. "Xiang Fei refers to it. Heart!"
I nodded and smiled, "Master Xiang Fei is high in skills, and worships the wind!"
"Well .... Come on, I don't know you in a day, Liu Shi said a few words!"
"Well, I would offeng ugliness."
"According to my opinion, there are one thing in this place, but unfortunately, it was originally a rare treasure, but there was a trace of time."
"how do I say this?"
"Feng Shui pays attention to the time, the place of place can be peaceful, and there is land here, only the day is missing. The terrain is moving northwest. This is a dead end. Is the river on the right? When it was a knife, it was a knife on the tiger's body. It can be said that although the tiger was king, it was also weak. "
"Haha, yes, yes! Liu Shi, reasonable, listen to you, I am bright. There are many views of Feng Shui Gate Road, there are likes, things, listen, look, count, this belongs to the statue. , Look, forget it. "
"Then Liu Shi, where do you think this sacrifice is in the ancient place?"
"Like you, the Eagle Cliff is low."
The two smiled at each other, "In this case, let's start action!"
After checking the equipment again, we are light and simplified this time. If the situation is not good, we will return and make plans.
This falling Yingya didn't know how deep it was. The two of us were explored step by step, climbing down from the cliff, just like climbers, but we climbed down below.
From time to time, the goshawk was shouted straight down, bringing us a little emotion and sympathy, as if a powerful soldier was going to the twilight years after all, the glory was no longer, and a person went to death alone.
There are many ancient trees on the cliffs, and some of them have to hold my hands with both hands. It is full of plants I don't know.
It is estimated that it has been climbing for about an hour. You can only see a hole in the top. This falling eagle cliff is actually a huge circular cave. The light below has dark. There are no other voices, bird bugs are extinct.
It seems to be a static world, and it still can't be seen below.
At this time, both of us were drumming in our hearts. How deep is this? Don't get a digging land for three thousand feet at that time, it will be troublesome.
115 Bluebird Snake Head
'Well, the stone next to my hand slipped down, but I didn't hear the echo of the ground. I can imagine how deep below.
We didn't speak, we groped down to climb down, and climbed for dozens of minutes again, so that through the weak light passed on the top, we faintly saw a shadow below.
"It should be coming soon," Xiang Fei said.
After a few minutes of rest, we slowly approached the goal. Recently, I have seen the stones on the ground. This is like a underground world. The light is dim. I turned on the flashlight and observed it.
It is like a underground world, like a basin, with trees, and streams. The waterfall is like the nine -day galaxy, and the ground has a deep pond.
The flashlight was taken, and I couldn't take the edge at all, and I didn't know how big it was here. Now we have only started to explore step by step.
Xiang Fei and I walked forward together. The trees I saw were living in the dark place. There were no animals and birds. Only bats flew out. They did not see the corpses of the goshawk, and the atmosphere was a little nervous.
There is a canyon in front of it. It is not very good, and it can make three people walking at the same time, just like the first line in the mountains.
After a closer look, I found that this was artificially excavated, and the stone walls on both sides were neat and obvious.
"There are eyebrows, it should be here," Xiang Fei said.
Then he took the lead in walking in. The canyon didn't know how deep it was. It seemed empty walking inside. The dark front was like the road leading to Yin Cao Difu.
In my mind, I always remembered what I met in Shu Tomb in my mind. Will I encounter it again?
"By the way", Xiang Fei's low voice sounded.
Looking up, it was suddenly wide in front, and I saw their own carvings and buildings vaguely, especially on the cliffs, and there were some built dwellings built.
Seeing this, we have determined that this is the sacrifice of the Dai people. According to the Ada tribe, the ancestors of the Dai people are also ancient Shu people, so it is very similar to the civilization in the field of civilization. It was left by the ancient Shu people.
This place seems to have entered the mountains, and there is no light light at all, and there is a wet taste in the air.
After observing for a while, we walked in. There was a stone carving at the entrance. It took a flashlight. This was a statue of a god. The gods that the ancient Shu people were worshiped in the Shu Tomb in the Shu tomb were fierce.
There are more and more statues in front. They are all gods worshiped by ancient Shu people, all of which are fierce, and they seem uncomfortable.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a high platform made of stone finally appeared in front of it. It was the same as the contestants seen in Shu Tomb, but this was much bloody, and the stone was covered with blood. Thousands of years, but still clearly visible.
What is even more frightening is that under the altar, there is a big pit, which is full of dead skins, and the number of unclear is not clear, and it has begun to decay.
"These presumably those who are sacrificed are the same as the tomb of Shu." I now doubt what kind of nation is the ancient Shu people, whether they are fierce in nature or caused by faith in evil law?
The surprising quietness makes the atmosphere inexplicable and weird.
"You found no, we have been calm since we came in now," Xiang Fei said.
"you mean?"
"This is abnormal."
"The chief of the Atta said, this is the place where the seal demon is, but it doesn't look like? This is just a altar."
"Yeah, a little strange, too calm, this is not like the heavy land of Shu people."
We boarded the altar, which was still covered with ancient words, and some sacrifice patterns. What surprised us most was that there were no coffins on this altar or bronze. The stone carvings are just like the murals in the Shu tomb. The bird's head is the snake head, but this is still a real thing that we see the real thing. It used to be a mural.
This thing should have been a bronze medal, but I do n’t know that it ’s going there. Now this stone carvings are obviously carved by the ancestors of the Dai people.
The blue bird's head gives a weird feeling, especially the eyes of the snake head, just like the eyes of the bronze people, very different, as if I can see the heart of the people. trembling.
"Hey, listen," Xiang Fei suddenly said, signaling me to listen carefully.
In the dead space, the two of us listened carefully. There seemed to be a slight cold wind blowing in the air, and it sounded normal, but after listening for a while, I found something wrong.
There seemed to be a sound in the wind, a sound of laughing in Yin, as if a sullen face was smiling towards us.
Gradually, this voice became louder and louder, and it was almost to be banned by the soul of people. At the critical moment, Xiang Fei reacted and pulled me, "I can't listen."
I just reacted, and my forehead was already a little cold. The sound seemed to be magical, pulling people to the abyss.
"Look at your feet."
I looked down and saw that the blood on the altar at my feet turned into a ball of blood and spread around.
The two of us hurriedly ran down. At this time, we knew that it was not that this place was normal, but it had not yet started.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps around the empty around. I followed the reputation and saw that a person came over. Suddenly it made us nervous. After seeing who came, Xiang Fei and I just felt like a hair was standing. Strongly beating.
The comer is not someone else, it is the Ada tribe. A dead person suddenly appears in front of us. Can it not be scared?
"He is not the chief of the Atta", Xiang Fei said.
I also understand, "It's a demon who follows us."
He stood opposite us and looked at us, and a moment of weird smile showed a strange smile. "Isn't your ability bad? Find it so soon, hehe!"
Although the sound of the chief of the Atta, it sounds creepy like from hell.
"Who are you?" Xiang Fei asked.
"Hey, don't you already know, I'm the incarnation of the demon!"
"You are not, you are just a corpse occupied by the devil. Who is your true identity?"
"Hey, as you said, I have always been by your side, maybe you are your friends, loved ones or partners, or a stranger who pass by. You only know that as long as you know, I will always be by your side. Except for both of you, I may be anyone, hehe! This is just the beginning. ah".
"This place is also what you deliberately attracted us, right?"
"You can say that, but you just said half of it. First of all, the head of the Atta told you that things are true. I have indeed been sealed here. Under this altar, you can completely destroy it with your blood. I. But what the Ada tribe forgot to tell you is that you can also release me with your blood, hey! General Shu Yuan, please let you put some blood. "
I was cold in my heart, but I did not expect that it was still a scheme. It seems that there will be a fierce battle today.
"You are too confident. Although we don't know who you are and what originally calendar, but now you are just a ghost of the climate. Humm said.
The atmosphere of the scene began to be tense, and there were more and more blood and water on the cushion. In the end, it was the same as the water flow.
The "Ada chief" glanced and said, "See not, that is, that was the blood festival of sealing my body, but the life of 800 people was used, hey! But as long as I wait for me to get out of trouble, these blood will belong to these bloods that will belong to mine".
The original calm space suddenly blown the wind. It seemed that it could be scraped away, and the eyes could not be opened. When the wind stopped, the 'Atta chief' is gone.
We started to be vigilant, and this thing is the most played and hidden, maybe we must now play and hide with us again.
Xiang Fei pointed at the table with his fingers, and motioned me to see it quickly. I saw a personal object in the bloody water on it, like the struggling grievances. .
Slowly these bloods spread to us, and the struggling human figure stretched out the blood hands to us.
"Get out of here quickly."
The two of us saw the situation and wanted to exit, but when we looked back, they secretly scolded the mother. Now we have no way to escape.
There is no way to retreat, we can only fight hard, and arrange the yin and yang method in the surroundings. This time, the two of us are unlike the last few people.
The yin and yang law array quickly set up. I ignited the soul lamp and put it in the formation. The fire of Qingyou beating, and the injustice struggling in the blood was quiet for a while.
What we didn't expect was that we thought that there would be a fierce battle, but it was just as calming, and the surroundings were quiet again.
The blood and water on the ancient place disappeared, but the difference was that the statue of the blue bird snake head above was gone.
Xiang Fei looked at it, his face was dignified, "Is that demon changed by this monster of this blue bird snake head?"
I also think so. This thing appeared in the Shu tomb several times, all appeared in murals, and it seemed that Shumin seemed to be deeply taboo.
We have embarked on an ancient sacrifice, and it is indeed empty.
"Is the devil who is sleepy?" I asked.
Xiang Fei shook his head, "This is impossible. Sacrifice the ancient place has not been opened at all. It cannot be out of trouble. Besides, you need to open the sacrifice in ancient times. You think the stone carving is just its image. The people are used to remind future generations, and the real one should be below. "
Now I feel so powerful, really like the monsters in mythology, ancient times ... It is really an era that makes people want to find out!
As a sound came, the god statue at the entrance collapsed, and fell to the ground and fell.
At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps from the top of the top. We took a flashlight and just saw a person's back. We were taken care of by us and hurriedly ran in, and the back of the back was not like the "Atta chief '.
"Are there any other people who came in?" Xiang Fei glanced at each other.
"Hurry up," Xiang Fei reminded.
So we ran up along the stairs of the Diaolou, rushed directly into the Diaolou, and found that the Diaolou was not ordinary. Just like the palace, it was built in the mountainside to the mountains.
One 116th funeral land
That person was gone, and the two of us were empty, but they were attracted by the tower in front of me. It was a huge cave inside, going down, like leading to Yin Cao Difu.
I took a picture with a flashlight, and I couldn't see the bottom at all, so I whispered: "Should we go in?"
"Go in, there is no other way to go now. Doesn't it want to lead us step by step, then we will try it up, and Longtan Tiger Points have to break through."
For the sake of insurance, lit a group of loose fat and threw it down. The dazzling fire was directly drowned by darkness, disappearing without a trace.
After Xiang Fei left, I walked down slowly, and it was basically flat, and stones were everywhere on the ground.
Seeing that the time has been gone for nearly an hour and a half, but the cave hasn't bottomed out. At this time, we both felt a little calm. This has been going on, won't you really go to Yin Cao Difu?
I found a place to sit down, rest for a while, lit a cigarette and smoked, turned off the flashlight, and fell into a dead silence.
Just when we were about to smoke the cigarettes, the road we came behind came very slight footsteps, and immediately wiped out the cigarette butt, and Xiang Fei and I observed quietly in the darkness.
The sound was slowly approaching, and the two of us held up the breath and waited until the target appeared, and he rushed up without hesitation.
Finally, the voice came to us. Xiang Fei and I turned on the flashlight at the same time. The goal appeared in front of us, but what we didn't expect was that this goal turned out to be Zhandan, the young man who fights with me.
This result really didn't make us think of it. How could he appear here?
Xiang Fei reacted the fastest. When he rushed up, he pressed Zadan to the ground. I also ran over to help. Fortunately, the person was not very strong, and the two of us soon subdued.
"Honestly, are you a man or a ghost?" Xiang Fei asked fiercely.
Zhandan struggled on the ground, and Xiang Fei greeted his two slaps directly, which made him honest.
"Hurry up and honestly, who are you?"
Zhandan was scared by Xiang Fei's fierce appearance for a while, and said, "I am just a leg running, and they came with Elder Taggi. When I came down, I went away. ”.
As soon as we understood it, dare to love this is to come to a praying mantis to catch the cicada, but it is a pity that they do n’t know how dangerous it is. Half of them are good.
"What is the purpose of Elder Taji?" Xiang Fei asked again.
"I ... I don't know, he only told us, saying that there is a treasure left by the ancestors of the Dai people in it, let us come in to find it," said, Zhandan's expression was frightened, "we came in It seems that the patriarch, he asked us to follow him. "
"The results of it?"
"Of course I am unwilling, but a few of them seemed to have been hooked up, so I walked away with him. I turned around here, and then I came here to meet you."
"Well, it sounds like this, but do you think we should believe you?" Xiang Fei asked, let alone he didn't believe it.
"Who are you?" Xiang Fei raised his voice. "Don't blame us to be polite without saying, killing the individual and unknowingly, there will be nothing."
After speaking, both of us made a fierce look and spit out his mouth and rubbed his hands.
"You ... don't kill me, I said that. In fact, we came in to find the treasures of the Qiang tribe, but we did meet the chiefs when we came in, but there was no fear, because we knew that he had no real death. Someday is to lie to you, saying that there is a peerless treasure left by the ancestors of the Dai people, let us cooperate with him. But as soon as you come in, the patriarch becomes strange. I am more and more scared. I slipped alone, and then came here in a random bump. "
"They are not afraid, why are you scared alone?"
Zhandan's face was frightened, "Because ... because when I came in and climbed down the cliff, I happened to be behind the patriarch. I saw that he had no shadow, and I saw his hand cut through the rocks. When you come out, just like it. Later, when I came in, I saw his movements and expressions getting weird, and it became more and more scared. What I said was the truth, you have to believe me. "
This time we didn't ask anymore, let go of him, "counting you, otherwise you don't know how to die."
"I have told the truth, you can't harm me anymore."
"Hey, I met you to count your life, they probably can't run one."
"Aren't you scared me?"
"Scared you? Don't use it, you will know when you wait."
I took a picture in front of the flashlight and said, "Let's go, see what is the following?"
"Do you want to be with us?"
Zhandan's head was like pecking rice, "For want, I am scared to death."
After Xiang Fei walked towards me, Zadan was in the middle and walked for a while. The cave in front began to become a bit messy. It seemed that it had collapsed, and some stones were scattered on the ground.
After walking in, we found some human bones, which should be killed by the collapsed stones, and a weak cold wind was blowing in front.
"Be careful, it should be ended," Xiang Fei reminded.
We are all nervous, what kind of place will we do at the end? Will it be Yin Cao Difu?
There was a flowing sound in front of us. After a while, there was a yin river appeared in front of us. There were also iron cable bridges on the river bank. We walked directly and took a flashlight. We were shocked.
A cemetery appeared in front of us, just like the current cemetery. The grave was built in order, and a hanging coffin was placed on the surrounding cliff walls.
At least a thousand mouthfuls, and some graves on the ground have been dug. It seems that here
