Part 4 Kunlun Shrine Chapter 31 Countdown to Death


Shiry Yang and I were watching the ritual scenes recorded around us by the "Human Execution Pit".

The more we looked at it, the more shocking it became.

Although the composition of those ancient carvings is simple, they bring no less psychological impact than seeing it with our own eyes.

There were live people being chopped up alive in front of them, and every stroke in the mural seemed to be dripping with blood.

But what is more cruel and ruthless than the murder ritual murals is the reality that we must face.

There is no room for flexibility in the iron-clad rules.

If you want to hold a ghost cave ritual, at least one person needs to be the victim.

There is no sacrifice.

The soul is like a candle that cannot burn without air.

The simple and unassuming human figures in the mural can clearly distinguish between "sacrifice" and "priest".

The entire process of sacrificing "snake bones" is completed by two priests, who are dressed in different clothes and wearing masks. , first fix a slave on the wall, use a sharp tool to peel off the slave's skin from the top of the head, and then place the slave on the wall before he is completely dead.

He was killed in the execution stone trough on the ground, and then a "priest" held the dead sacrifice and entered the place where there are two pools on the altar.

That is the main place for worshiping snake bones.

No matter what is going on, In this ritual, the deceased and the "Phoenix Guts" must be sunk into two corresponding pools at the same time.

This seems to be to maintain a certain balance of power.

The scene of the murder ritual was so cruel that after watching it twice, I felt unwell all over.

I seemed to smell a strong stench of blood in my nose.

I felt sick and horrified.

I asked Shiry Yang if there was anything else besides this.

Is there a way?

If in order to survive, accomplices kill each other, no matter from a moral point of view or from a conscience point of view, it is unacceptable at all costs.

Accomplices are brothers who eat together.

They are all eating in the same pot.

Who can be cruel to whom and point the gun at his comrades?

Even if he is lucky enough to survive, he will surely fall into a situation that is beyond redemption.

He can escape the curse of the ghost cave, but he will never be able to do so.

Nor can he get rid of the curse on his own conscience.

Shiry Yang was obviously under a heavy psychological burden.

I comforted her and said, "It's not a dead end yet.

Let's think of other ways and we will definitely find a way."

Although I said this, in my heart Completely bottomless.

I just don’t want to face this cruel problem for the time being, so it’s good to delay it for a moment.

The stone troughs and walls where the skinning and killing rituals were held are unbearable to watch.

We returned to the hall with two pools, and saw Axiang sitting next to Uncle Ming, holding his severed hand and sobbing softly.

Uncle Ming's eyes were dull, and he was sitting against the wall with his head hanging down, while the fat man was squatting on the ground, talking.

View a quirky crystal bowl.

When he saw Shiry Yang and I coming back, he invited us to come over and watch together.

I had already seen this transparent crystal bowl when I came in, but it didn't attract my attention.

It seemed strange at the moment.

When I came to take a look, I said in surprise: "This looks like a timekeeper or something like that."

The body of the crystal bowl is like a small water tank.

It is connected to the mountain of Yushan, but it is completely integrated and you can't tell where the interface is.

I don't know when, a thin wisp of dark blue crystal sand leaked from the top, and a full layer of it had accumulated at the bottom of the bowl.

I looked up along the place where the "crystal sand" flowed out, and at the interface with the mountain, there was A black evil ghost mural is blurry and unrecognizable, but I think it looks very much like the "Thunder Mountain of Mahakala" in the tunnel.

Is this crystal bowl that is continuously pouring quicksand an ancient timepiece?

What purpose does it have inexplicably placed here?

I had a bad idea in my mind, but it was as hazy as the black shadow.

Although My mind is very confused, but I still feel that this thing that counts time is not a good thing.

The fat man said to us: "As soon as I came in, I found that this thing started to flow into the crystal sand.

Judging from my appreciation of antiquities and aesthetic taste, this thing is somewhat strange and ingenious, and it can be used in Panjiayuan.

It’s a good price, why don’t we take it back and keep it as a souvenir.”

My doubts were deep in my heart, so I shook my head at the fat man and nodded again without comment.

At this moment, Shirey Yang suddenly said: "Maybe after we entered the altar, we accidentally touched some mechanism, and the crystal bowl started counting down.

If we haven't completed the ritual before the quicksand is filled, then" he said, turning his gaze to the black shadow-like evil ghost mural.

I suddenly realized, yes, this underground altar is the core of the sacred territory of the evil Luohai people.

Naturally, you cannot enter or exit casually.

If the ceremony is not held at a certain time, then the "Great Black Sky Thunder Mountain" in the tunnel introduces will be put into the altar from the white tunnel.

We still don’t know what the black shadow-like thing is.

It seems to be some kind of evil substance that exists in the crystal stone and is the “watcher” of the altar.

So How much time do we have left?

Judging from the speed of the quicksand injection and the size of the giant crystal bowl, we have no more than two and a half to three hours left.

We must complete the cruel skinning "killing ritual" within this time.

Facing this ever-elapsed countdown to death, our heartbeats began to speed up.

It seemed that what was flowing out was not the "crystal sand", but the souls that were constantly pouring out of the body.

Shiry Yang said that time is still rich, but the altar left in Jade Mountain Staring at the quicksand can only suddenly increase the pressure in our hearts.

Let's retreat to the stone ceiling outside to discuss how to deal with this matter.

Fatty and I also had this intention, so we took Axiang and Uncle Ming with us and temporarily left the evil altar cave.

We sat under the stone statue near the sky beam, each thinking about his own thoughts and falling into a long silence. silence.

In the end, I was the first to speak.

Along the way, I was constantly exposed to the "ghost cave", "snake bones", "imaginary number space" and various religious legends that I had never heard of before, which gradually gave me a rough concept of the "bottomless ghost cave". , I explained my concept to Shiry Yang.

The exquisite Ghost Cave Clan calls the bottomless pit with snake bones buried in it "Ghost Cave", but the "Evil Luohai People" do not have this name.

They directly call it "Snake Bones", which are some from the imaginary number space.

Corpses should never exist in our present world.

The abyss-like cave is the memory in the brain of the corpse.

The "Evil Luohai people" believe that the world is a cycle of life and death.

After the destruction of this world, another world will be born, and the cycle will continue.

All worlds are one, and the "snake bones" will also be resurrected in that world.

They continue to sacrifice their lives to serve it, which is the expectation of evil Luo.

Sea people can also survive in another world.

If you understand the legend of ghost caves from another angle, you will find that these legends have striking similarities with the ancient Chinese secret technique of Feng Shui.

The root of Feng Shui is not the "water direction of the dragon's sand cave", but in the final analysis is the "unity of heaven and man".

"The pursuit of.

What is the "unity of man and nature"?

"Heaven" means heaven, earth, and the world, and "man" means human beings, including all kinds of creatures and lives.

In the concept of "unity of man and nature", they do not exist independently, but are integrated, a whole.

According to Shiry Yang's words, it is like the "holographic theory of the universe" of later generations.

In the theory of "unity of man and nature", it is proposed that although the two qi of yin and yang are divided into two poles, since they are one, there is also a point of fusion.

This area is the "Dragon Pill" of Zulong's veins, which is buried deep under the Kunlun Mountains.

"Dragon Pill" , is where the vitality gathers.

When you look up, you can see the crystal veins above your head.

Some of them have completely turned black, and some are shining brightly.

The lifespan of one dragon vein has expired, and another new dragon vein has begun to appear.

This is the so-called life and death.

In the whole world, I am afraid that this rare geological phenomenon is only found under the dragon roof in Karamir.

This is the place where "yin" and "yang" blend and mix, so the evil Luohai people will build the altar here where the arcs intersect. critical location.

Although the ancients were primitive and ignorant, perhaps their understanding of all things natural was far deeper than that of modern people.

The curse of the ghost cave, whether it is a virus infected through the eyes or the resentment from the evil god, the most direct and effective way to eliminate it is to put a cursed sacrificial corpse in the opposite position to the "Phoenix Guts" The connection between the two pools in Longdan was cut off.

There are records in the murals in the altar that this passage was closed more than once.

However, after closing the passage, the ghost cave and Shadow Evil Luohai City, including the marks on our bodies, will not disappear, but they have become real things, and there will be no harm until a new sacrificial ceremony is held.

However, this However, the altar cannot be destroyed, otherwise it will have a great impact on the landscape pattern, and the consequences are difficult to estimate.

I looked at the time and before I knew it, I had been discussing with Shiry Yang for an hour and thought of many possibilities, but the final result was still the same as the previous conclusion.

There was not a single victim, all the people They all had to die on the altar.

The fat man listened for a long time and couldn't get a word in.

Although he didn't fully understand what was going on, he at least got a rough idea and said: "Isn't the victim simple?

Isn't this ready-made?

A small amount is not a gentleman.

No poison, no husband."

He looked at Uncle Ming as he said that.

The meaning was already obvious.

I could understand the underlying line without saying it: If you want to kill someone, no one is more suitable than the old Hong Kong farmer, anyway.

He asked for it.

We told him eight hundred and sixty times not to let him follow us, but he insisted on following us, and now his head has been knocked stupid.

In addition, he is much older than us.

The curse of the ghost cave is who is older and who comes first.

Death, so he is not much different from a dead person now, so we don’t need to carry forward the spirit of revolutionary humanitarianism.

According to Lao Hu’s words, that is called sacrificing one’s life and going to hell to save the world.

It has achieved positive results, which is gratifying.

As soon as Axiang heard this, her face turned pale with fright.

She couldn't even cry.

She hugged Shirey Yang tightly and begged: "Sister Yang, please don't kill my godfather.

Only godfathers care in this world."

I, I have no other relatives.”

Shiry Yang advised her not to worry, and then said to me: "You can't do this.

You know that I am a religious person.

I would rather die than do something against humanity, although Uncle Ming will probably not survive this time tomorrow." , but if we kill him, how can we face our own conscience?

The Lord taught us, " I said to Shiry Yang: "Your boss may talk some innocuous nonsense.

I don't want to listen to him, but you are right.

We are forced to do some things that are morally unjustifiable in life."

Things, not to mention anything else, just touching the rules of Captain Jin, You count, we have committed all the crimes that can be committed.

It can be said that the window paper of morality has been pierced long ago, but there is still a difference between poking a finger in and crawling in through the window.

This kind of mentality I still can’t do anything ruthless, and I can’t do it.”

When Shiry Yang saw what I said, he felt relieved and said, "If someone must die, I"

I know that Shiryy Yang has always felt guilty for causing many people to be implicated in the incident of going to the ghost cave in the desert.

She is a very willful person.

At this time, she is probably planning to die in the altar so that we can live.

So before she could finish speaking, she quickly interrupted her.

Everyone looked at me, thinking I had come up with some idea.

I was in a state of confusion.

Looking at Uncle Ming's lifeless expression, I couldn't help but feel a trace of murderous intent in my heart, but my rational side was forcibly restraining myself from such thoughts.

All kinds of contradictory thoughts were intricately intertwined, and my head was boiling.

I felt like my head was about to split.

Looking at my watch again, I saw that the death timeline was shortening.

Seeing the fat man throwing the "Phoenix Guts" in his hands and playing with it, he grabbed it and said, "Be careful if it falls under the sky beam.

The water below is deep.

If this bead is gone, none of us will survive."

No, is this a toy?"

The fat man said dissatisfied: "Why did you suddenly become soft-hearted today?

In fact, I see that Uncle Ming is suffering a lot while he is alive.

He looks stupid and wilted.

I feel sad when I see him.

Let's take this opportunity today and send him away quickly.

The key is to achieve success early.

Sister Axiang, don’t be reluctant to let go of your godfather.

If you don’t let him die, he will drag you down.

His father's hindrance has delayed him.

There is no such store in this village.

If he dies tomorrow, it will not be considered as dying to save the world, and he will not be able to achieve his true goal.

He may not be able to give birth to a child in the next life.

And most importantly.

One of the reasons, please don’t forget, Uncle Ming has been concussed and is stupid.

He just doesn’t know anything anymore.

Instead of " Axiang was speechless by the fat man's theory, and was about to continue crying, but suddenly she heard Uncle Ming, who had been sitting there silently and unresponsive, moan softly: "Oh, it really hurts, my old life."

Are you still alive?”

Axiang was pleasantly surprised when she saw that Uncle Ming's consciousness had returned.

Uncle Ming looked very weak and his eyes were scattered.

He said that he had just fallen onto the crystal stone at the bottom of the clouds, hung up his mountaineering helmet, and bumped his head against something hard.

That's all.

I didn’t know anymore, so I asked where this place was.

As soon as Axiang told him about the situation just now, Uncle Ming stroked Axiang's head and sighed: "Oh, this poor boy, Brother Hu, I have something to say to him."

Uncle Ming asked Shiry Yang and Fatty to stay away first.

They knew that Uncle Ming probably wanted to talk about Axiang's marriage, so the two of them had to take a few steps back.

Uncle Ming said to me with tears streaming down his face: "Actually, since I heard about this attack I was already mentally prepared for the name of Leishan.

It seems that I was injured this time.

Guts, this is God's will, everything is God's will.

Since no one dies, no one can leave alive, so I have to accept my fate.

But I can't worry about this child Axiang.

You must promise me to take good care of her in the future. ."

As she spoke, she struggled to grab Axiang's hand, trying to let me hold her hand.

I saw that Uncle Ming was a man about to die, and his words were kind, and a bird was about to die, and its song was mournful.

I suddenly felt a sadness in my heart, so I held Axiang's hand and promised: "Don't worry about these things."

"Although I may not necessarily marry her, I will always take care of her as I would my own sister.

I will never give her anything watery to drink while I eat dry food."

There was a look of relief in Uncle Ming's eyes, and he wanted to hold my other hand.

When we were saying goodbye, I was also quite moved.

I just wanted to reach out my other hand to hold it with him, but I saw him in a trance.

Seeing a strange and imperceptible light in Uncle Ming's eyes, I suddenly thought of the "Phoenix Guts" in the other hand, and it was like a flash of lightning flashed in my mind: "Fuck you girl, this act is real enough, but I’m still a little bit shy about trying to convince Mr.

Hu.”

But after all, my reaction was a little slow.

In less than a second, Uncle Ming grabbed the "Phoenix Guts" and rolled away from the ground.

I still had a hand holding Axiang's.

At the same time, I quickly shook off her hand and wanted to jump on Uncle Ming's legs.

He grabbed it, but it was not far from the edge of the sky beam.

Below it was a mirror maze-like crystal stone, and there was water in some places.

The "Phoenix Gut" that was related to everyone's life and death was likely to fall during the struggle. , I threw a rat weapon, but I didn't dare to use my strength, but I couldn't catch him.

Uncle Ming was like an old monkey.

He jumped up from the ground, stepped on the stone in front of the stone figure, and climbed up to the top of the stone figure in a few clicks.

He raised the "Phoenix Guts" and said, "Who dares to move?"

I and I will just throw the beads down, and we'll both end up together.

At the end of the day, fat guy with a beard, you two losers, you are so smart that you want me, Lei Xianming, to die for you.

You are just dreaming.

I have never seen any scenes.

Isn’t it true that you live to the end every time?

Who the fuck?

Don’t even try to kill me
