"What the hell?"
The moment I saw the cyan face, I couldn't think about anything. My first reaction was to get up and follow Huizhen to escape.
Yamawanggou is so evil, and there are things everywhere that we can’t understand. I just wanted to run for my life, but Huizhen suddenly pulled me and told me not to run away.
"Zhou Xuan, wait a minute, that thing seems to be dead and won't move at all."
"Can't move?"
My nervousness calmed down a little, and I turned to look at the green face behind me. I observed it for more than ten seconds before I had the courage to walk back. When I could see what this thing was up close, I couldn't help but gasp. gas.
This thing that looks like a human face is actually a fruit hanging on a tree.
Its real face has the same size and lifelike features, its nose is a nose, and its eyes are eyes, but its skin is green. From a distance, it is almost the same as a real person.
"What the hell, it turns out to be fruit from a tree!"
It was a false alarm, and I couldn't help holding my chest and sighing again.
No wonder we got it wrong, this thing looks so lifelike. Not only is there a "Human Face Fruit" growing behind me, there are also more densely packed Human Face Fruits growing on the vines deep in the woods.
These motionless human faces just hung on the treetops, maintaining a numb and dull expression. It made my back feel cold and my heartbeat kept accelerating.
I have never seen such a weird thing in my life. I felt very nervous and just wanted to pull Huizhen away as soon as possible.
But Huizhen did not move. Instead, he observed these fruits that looked like human faces with a serious face, and said in a low tone,
"Looks like we've found the place."
Then he pointed to the tangled human face fruits, took a deep breath and said, "I heard Master say that in ancient times, some ethnic minorities would use very cruel human sacrifice methods. To put it simply, they killed a large number of captives and Slaves, performing rituals with their blood and corpses.”
The grievances of the murdered slaves lingered around the place where they were tortured. The roots of these big trees grew by absorbing nutrients from the corpses.
But while absorbing the nutrients from the corpse, the resentment of the undead was also transferred to the big tree, which resulted in such a human-faced fruit growing on the tree.
"The faces on these fruits may be what the victims looked like when they were alive."
What?
Huizhen’s words made me tremble with fear. Human sacrifice, how many lives must be sacrificed to achieve such a scale?
"It's indispensable anyway!"
Huizhen shook her head with a serious face, pointed to the pit just now and said,
"My master and the old Taoist said that there is a particularly evil Shura Tomb in the back mountain. It seems that the place where these human face fruits grow is the area where the owner of the tomb was buried. The entrance to the Shura Tomb should be hidden under the pit. .”
"Are you planning to go in?"
I swallowed nervously, thinking back to the scene when I saw Qin Tao under the pit just now, I still felt chills on my back.
Huizhen frowned and said, "Qin Tao is dead. The thing that really controls his body should be the evil fetus in him. Think about it, why does the evil fetus control him to crawl to this place?"
My heart tightened again. Xuan Zhenzi once analyzed that the reason why Widow Chen was able to give birth to such an evil corpse was because she was infected by the evil energy of Shura's Tomb.
This bastard should be planning to crawl into Shura's tomb and continue to absorb the evil energy under the tomb to strengthen himself.
Huizhen nodded, "Your analysis is correct, so the place where Xie Fei and Qin Tao appeared must be the entrance to Shura's Tomb. This bastard has already gone down, so we have to hurry up and follow him."
"Fine!"
At this point, there is no other good solution. Xuan Zhenzi must also have entered the Shura Tomb. We can only find them by following him down to the tomb.
After discussing the plan, I lit a white candle with trembling hands and continued to illuminate the pit. After waiting for a long time, I didn't feel any obvious yin energy, and then I carefully climbed in with Huizhen. into a trap.
Sure enough, there was a cave under the pit. Although the entrance was very narrow at first, as we continued to climb, we soon entered a huge cave.
The depths of the cave are filled with stagnant water, which is far less dry than the top. In many places, the stagnant water is even higher than a person's knees. The water is extremely turbid and exudes a strong stench.
Huizhen pulled off a piece of cloth from her coat, covered her nostrils and said,
"Zhou Xuan, be careful. I heard that there may be corpse energy accumulated under this tomb, which can poison people silently."
I hummed, pulled out a piece of yellow cloth, and covered my cheek tightly.
Then we stumbled forward while swimming in the accumulated water under the cave. After walking for about ten minutes, a very turbid underground river actually appeared in front of us.
The dark water channel looked like a long winding snake. We walked very carefully. In many places, the water flow even reached our heads, and we could only swim to the other end.
This underground river is too long, and there are forks everywhere under the curtain. I don’t know where these forks will extend. The more I walked, the more panicked I became. I just wanted to remind Huizhen not to go any further, but Huizhen stopped. He found a step in the cave covered by water, pointed to the footprints on the step and said,
"These footprints must have been left by my master and the others. Zhou Xuan, let's work harder and we'll be there soon!"
I also looked at the steps, and sure enough I found some wet footprints on the steps. The blue stone steps continued to extend upward, leading to a place with no end in sight.
Huizhen and I paddled to the other side, finally climbed up the steps, and continued walking for a while. The candle in my hand suddenly flickered, and was blown by the cold air blowing from the cave. Not only was the candle swaying, but so was my Huizhen also made a fuss in unison.
Behind the steps was a relatively spacious passage, the light was very dark, and the yin energy here was particularly strong. I took every step with extreme caution. About two minutes later, I stepped in front of a stone hall.
This stone hall is not big. It is dark inside and filled with many bottles and cans. I don’t know what they are used for. There are many dark red murals on the walls of the stone hall, but because they have existed for so long, , the murals have long since dried and peeled off, and the actual content cannot be seen at all.
I stared blankly at these broken murals, feeling an indescribable strangeness in my heart. When I turned around, I found Hui Zhen squatting in the corner of the stone hall, looking at a black pottery jar.
The candlelight was dim and emitted a strange firelight. Under the illumination of the candlelight, the black tank emitted a strange light. I felt very uncomfortable. I walked to Huizhen and said,
"Fat man, what are you looking at?"
Huizhen pointed to the black pottery figurines in front of her, frowned and said, "The shape of this jar is very strange, and the seal is covered with beeswax, so there's no telling what's underneath."
I asked Huizhen not to touch the things here. The atmosphere of Shura's Tomb is too weird. There might be a lot of dirty things under the tomb. If you violate the traps here, you will definitely not be able to eat them and walk around.
Huizhen rubbed the back of his head and nodded, intending to accompany me out of the stone hall, but when he stood up, I heard a crisp "click" sound, and when I looked closely, the black pottery jar fell down without warning. .
