"This is simply stupid. Isn't this trouble caused by the people in your village burning the brother and sister to death? You actually use this method to harm people?"
After hearing this, Qi Yuan was so angry that he started to curse.
Several of us were also shocked when we heard this.
In this isolated place, where people have backward thinking and concepts, it is possible to lynch and burn the incestuous brother and sister, but it seems too unbelievable that they sacrifice a living person every month. ?
If one person is burned to death a month, wouldn’t a dozen people have to be burned to death in a year?
I'm thinking, who among the people in this village would be willing to be burned as a sacrifice?
"I know it's cruel, but there's nothing we can do."
Li Qinghe lowered his head as he spoke.
"Then how did you choose the sacrifice?"
Wang Junfeng frowned and asked.
"Usually the decision is made by drawing lots, but if we can catch a foreigner, we will use the foreigner as a sacrifice."
As he spoke, Li Qinghe raised his head and glanced at Qi Yuan, obviously thinking that he, a foreigner, was the most suitable sacrifice.
"I really want to burn all these people to death."
Qi Yuan said angrily.
"What did you just say? A foreigner? Is there anyone else on this island besides you?"
Wang Junfeng suddenly looked at Li Qinghe and asked.
When he said this, we realized that Li Qinghe mentioned the word foreigners. From this, it can be seen that there should be more than just the aborigines of their village on this island, there are probably other tribes.
"Of course there is? Ours is just a small village in a remote area of Penglai Wonderland. It is said that there is a fertile land in the south and a huge city. Many people live there, but I have never left the village since I was a child, so I haven't I’ve seen the kind of city they talked about, and I wonder what it looks like?”
Li Qinghe shook his head as he spoke.
When several of us heard this, our faces became very surprised.
On this mysterious island isolated from the world, there is not only a village of aborigines, but also a so-called city. Doesn't that mean that there should be a mysterious ancient country on Penglai Island that no one knows about at all? ?
And just now Li Qinghe was talking about Penglai Fairyland, not Penglai Fairy Island. It can be seen from this that this island may be much larger than we imagined. It is so big that the aborigines here regard it as a continent instead of an island. .
"It seems like this place is different from what we imagined."
Wang Junfeng frowned slightly and said.
"Not only is it different, I'm wondering if it's possible that we went to some other country? I don't have a passport?"
Yu Hunqiu spread his hands and said with a speechless expression.
"It's impossible. This place doesn't even exist on the world map. Besides, have you ever heard of any country where such things as giants exist?"
Wang Junfeng said, looking back at the giant corpse not far away.
"That's true."
Yu Hunqiu nodded and stopped making random guesses.
If this is really a known country in the world, then things like giants will definitely cause an uproar in the world.
Moreover, the huge birds and the soul-eating flowers we encountered at the beach are definitely not species that exist in the world known to humans today.
So obviously, no one even knew such a place existed.
Even if this kind of thing is told, I'm afraid no one outside will believe it.
There is no way, sometimes we can only believe in things within the scope of our cognition, and what we cannot cognize is naturally regarded as non-existent.
Moreover, there are so many unknown things in this world. Even on this earth that we think we are extremely familiar with, there are still many unknown things that we will never be able to recognize in our lifetimes.
For example, deep underground, or at the bottom of the sea where humans have never set foot, or in some inaccessible virgin forests.
There are always unknown things, it’s just a question of when we will discover them.
For example, the isolated Penglai Island, the huge birds, soul-eating flowers, and giants on this island can all be called major discoveries in the history of human civilization.
I think if we brought such a major discovery back to the world we know, we would all become great adventurers and maybe even go down in history.
But unfortunately, none of us are the kind of people who need to become famous. We just come here to find what we want, and then everything here will continue to stay in the world that should belong to it.
This is a worthwhile trip.
It seemed that at this moment, I suddenly felt Yi Xiaojiu's desire for unknown things.
This definitely stirred up my adventurous spirit.
"We should still have a long way to go."
Wang Junfeng said and turned to look at the aborigines who were still kneeling in front of the dilapidated temple to pray, and said solemnly: "But since the matter here has been shaken off, let's solve it by the way. As long as this thing is destroyed, they will There is no need to sacrifice human beings anymore.”
"The brother and sister were burned to death by them. Cause and effect are reincarnated, and retribution is unpleasant. They should be responsible for this themselves."
Qi Yuan frowned and said slightly unhappy.
"There is no need for the mistakes of the past to affect future generations. This should have happened many years ago."
I said and glanced at Li Qinghe.
Because what she was talking about at that time was a legend, so thinking about it, it must not have been done by these people in the village now.
"Yes, this is what happened to our ancestors. We don't know how many years this temple has existed. We have just been carrying out this kind of sacrificial ceremony according to our ancestors' instructions."
Li Qinghe said quickly.
"If that's the case, then this thing is probably a little old, and it's not easy to handle."
Yu Hunqiu shook his head as he spoke, and his expression became very solemn.
What he said is true. Not to mention how resentful the brother and sister were when they were burned alive. Just being worshiped by people in the village for so many years, and even using living people as sacrifices, over time, this thing must have been contaminated. A certain degree of divinity.
This kind of thing is different from ordinary evil spirits. Whether it can be solved is still open to question.
"Then let's take a look at the situation first."
Wang Junfeng said and walked directly towards the collapsed temple.
Naturally we all followed.
When those people kneeling in front of the temple saw us approaching, they quickly got up and stepped aside.
Obviously, the power of the giant just now has made them completely afraid of us.
I followed Wang Junfeng and took a look at the broken temple, and found that there was almost nothing else under the rubble, only a dark coffin, half buried by the remaining bricks and tiles.
This is the first time I have encountered this situation. There is actually a coffin enshrined in the temple?
