The two of them couldn't help but turn their heads and look around as they spoke. The ground was also dark brown and looked very similar to the dried blood stains on the walls of the cave, but there were no bones or anything like that.
This is strange. There are no bones in the trap. Could it be that someone cleans the bottom of the cave regularly? Or maybe the traces on the cave wall are not blood at all, but something else?
The grimace Taoist priest soon rejected the second idea. The traces on the rock wall were definitely blood. He had been wandering around the world for so long. If he couldn't even distinguish the blood stains, it would be in vain. But if it was really blood...
"Siniang." The grim-faced Taoist priest looked up at the entrance of the cave and suddenly asked, "Do you think this pothole...is it possible that it's not a trap?"
"It's not a trap?" He Siniang asked doubtfully, "What is that? A secret passage?"
"The secret path is built straight up and down, so what's the difference between that and a trap..."
"So what does the Taoist think it is?"
"Pindao can't guess for sure, but I don't think it's like a trap."
"Why?"
"Because it's so stupid. There's no disguise at the entrance of the cave. What kind of trap is this? Besides, I feel like the place where I'm cultivating is not right."
"The repair place is wrong?"
"Well, Siniang, what do you think the Buddha statue above was used to do?"
"Why do you suddenly ask this...what can a Buddha statue be used for? For believers to worship?"
"That's pretty much what it means. The ancient Xiangxiong people carved out the mountain and built the huge Buddha statue that took a lot of time and effort. They wouldn't just leave it there to bask in the sun, right?"
"So what the Taoist priest means is..."
"Pindao feels that the entire platform above is a venue for activities. It is a religious dojo used by Bon believers to worship the supreme god of Bon religion - the Great Mother Buddha."
He Siniang nodded: "This explanation is reasonable, but what does this have to do with the trap..."
"Sister, are you stupid? If the place above is really such an important place, why would you suddenly dig a few holes as traps? Aren't you afraid of trapping the believers as well?"
"Yes, I was really confused after the fall, but after all, these potholes exist objectively, and it seems that besides deceiving people, there is no more suitable purpose."
"Siniang, do you think this might be a sacrificial pit?" the Taoist priest with a grimace suddenly said.
"Ji..." Before He Siniang could reply, Luo Laoqi suddenly woke up with a groan. After opening his eyes, he touched the back of his head immediately, and then cursed: "Fuck his grandma, this is the Sa family." Are you still alive?"
"Get up quickly when you wake up. My poor Taoist's legs are numb from the pressure." The grim-faced Taoist helped Luo Laoqi sit up and continued: "Hurry up and thank Si Niang. If she didn't grab you in mid-air, you would point out now. I don’t know which breed it will be reincarnated into.”
"Really? Sajiaguang remembers banging his head against the wall. Unexpectedly, it was Siniang who saved me again. How many lives does the Sajia owe Siniang?"
"You have saved me quite a lot. Stop saying those polite words. How are you feeling?"
Luo Laoqi twisted his body when he heard this, and then replied: "It should be fine, it just hurts from hitting my head... Where are we?"
"In..." The grim-faced Taoist priest didn't know how to answer for a moment. Under this unexpected turn of events, he was busy waking up Lao Qi and talking to Si Niang. He didn't even have time to observe the surrounding situation. At this time, Luo Lao Qi reminded him, The grim-faced Taoist priest said hurriedly: "I am too careless! Let's stop sitting here and quickly separate to see where this is."
After speaking, the grimace Taoist immediately took out a torch, lit it, and handed it to the other two.
At this time, as the torch light increased, the field of view also became wider. Unexpectedly, there was actually a huge space down there.
This place is like a hemispherical cave, about five or six feet high, and more than ten feet long and wide. In the middle of the head is the hole where the three people fell, and it is also the highest place in the entire cave.
The ground inside the cave is not flat, there are potholes all around, and the ground is also covered with a layer of dark brown dirt, which is exactly the same as the blood stains on the cave wall above.
The ghost-faced Taoist priest frowned slightly. Such a thick layer of blood and dirt could not have been accumulated by the death of thirty or fifty people. Could it be that this place was really a sacrificial pit where corpses were dumped, as he had guessed?
But what about the bones?
Full of doubts, the grimace Taoist stepped lightly on the ground and slowly explored to the right.
As he walked, he saw that the rock wall above his head was gradually narrowing. After taking another seven or eight steps forward, the grimace Taoist priest felt that the light of the torch began to sway, and there was obviously wind blowing in front of him. When he stopped and took a closer look, he found a stone door on the rock wall in front of him. The stone door had double doors, and the door on the right was opening to the outside.
The Taoist priest with a grimace walked quickly to the stone door. As soon as he arrived, he felt the cold wind blowing on his face. He hid the torch behind him, tilted his head and looked out the door. First, he saw a short tunnel, and then the moonlight reflected outside. The white snow - unexpectedly, this stone door is actually connected to the outside platform.
The Taoist priest with a grimace estimated the position and speculated that the platform outside should be the second floor of the trapezoidal mountain. They fell from the first floor with the statue of the Big Loving Mother Buddha, and fell more than ten feet in the middle. This distance was exactly the same as when they were observing outside. , the gap between the upper and lower floors is almost the same.
"It turns out that the upper and lower levels are connected within the mountain." The grim-faced Taoist priest murmured: "It's just the way of connection..." Speaking of which, the grim-faced Taoist priest suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly hid the torch behind the stone door - -Since this is the second-floor platform outside, aren't the dead Xiao Zhang from Jueziying and Ma Qingshou who fell due to the attack also outside? And there is another more important thing. Ma Qingshou was attacked and dragged down the cliff by something at that time. If there was really some evil idea hidden in the secret, wouldn't the situation of himself and his party be dangerous at this time? !
Just as he was thinking about it, Luo Laoqi from the other end of the cave suddenly shouted: "There is a cave here!"
The Grimace Taoist Priest was startled by Luo Laoqi's voice. His voice was already loud, and coupled with the noise in the cave, it was difficult for the Grimace Taoist Priest to scare him away with his torch.
The grim-faced Taoist priest wanted to turn his head and scold Luo Laoqi, but before he could turn his head, something suddenly caught his eye. He hurriedly turned behind the stone door and carefully looked out. When he looked, he saw a head tilted beside the tunnel. Two green eyes looked straight into the stone door.
"It's broken!" The grim-faced Taoist suddenly felt bad. No matter what evil idea there was outside, it seemed that everyone had discovered it.
The grim-faced Taoist priest glanced back at the cave. The light from the two torches was now shining into the cave. Apparently, the two of them had gathered in front of the cave entrance where Lao Qi was calling.
The Taoist Priest with a grimace knew that he couldn't make a sound to remind the two of them right now. The next step for the idea outside the cave was unknown. If he spoke rashly at this time, he would most likely alarm the snake.
