Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 234 The secret cannot be revealed, save the child

"Bronze masks are worn by shamans during prayers and sacrifices. Those horns must be sacred objects offered during sacrifices."

"The bronze medal is a symbol of status, and the Yin Stone can be used as a sacrifice...hiss!"

Taoist Master Zhang sucked in a breath of cold air, pulled up his goatee, and stared with his eyes as big as copper bells.

There was a look of horror in his eyes.

That look of horror made my heart sink to the bottom.

Taoist Master Zhang is our greatest support, and he was terrified. You can imagine how great the danger we are about to face is.

I pricked up my ears to continue listening to Taoist Master Zhang's mutterings, but he kept silent with a heavy face.

Now I'm really anxious.

I was just about to listen to his speculation and make preparations, why did he suddenly stop talking?

I leaned over and whispered, "Lao Zhang, what are you mumbling about?"

Taoist Zhang sighed, pondered for a moment, and then whispered in my ear, "Ma Si might want to replicate the ancient sacrificial ritual."

"Replicating ancient sacrificial rituals?" I repeated in surprise.

How to replicate ancient sacrificial rituals?

There are no pictures or text materials passed down, so even if I wanted to copy it, I wouldn't know what it looked like.

Even if Ma Si had extraordinary abilities, it would be difficult for him to do it.

Besides, the ancient sacrificial rituals were carried out with the efforts of the entire tribe, and could not be carried out by a few people.

Even if we were to put all of us together, we wouldn't have enough people to perform the sacrificial ceremony.

"Ma Si isn't that capable." I said in disbelief.

Taoist Master Zhang shook his head slightly.

He stared intently at the backs of Old Man Su and the other two in front of him, then said in a very low voice: "They might be human sacrifices."

“Human…sacrifice?!”

I almost screamed, and after saying the word "person", I quickly covered my mouth.

The last word "牲" was a very faint sound made by covering the mouth.

The word "human sacrifice" has a huge impact on me.

In the tomb of the king of Bi State, Huang San and others had their lumbar vertebrae broken, their arms and legs twisted, and they were forcibly bent into the shape of birds as human sacrifices.

According to the clues obtained, the Baon snake, which once used the cave as its base, has a great connection with Bigong.

Maybe they also like to break people into bird shapes as human sacrifices...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.

If Old Man Su and the others will become human sacrifices, then what will become of us?!

Taoist Priest Zhang continued in a low voice: "We may also become human sacrifices, and you..."

"Ok?"

I looked at him in surprise.

I don't understand why the "we" he mentioned doesn't include me.

Is there something special about me?

"What will happen to me?"

Taoist Master Zhang slowly turned his head and looked straight into my eyes.

The moment we looked at each other, I felt that the pupils of his eyes seemed to have turned into a bottomless dry well.

A powerful attraction emerged from the dry well, drawing my soul into it.

I started to feel dazed.

A dizzy feeling came over me.

The body sways back and forth uncontrollably.

The sound I heard became very vague, sometimes far away and sometimes near.

Everything I see appears double, and the light I see appears colorful.

At that moment, I felt like I was going to heaven.

Otherwise, how could you see the colorful light?

I closed my eyes and shook my head vigorously, trying to restore my vision and hearing to normal.

Open your eyes again.

What I saw was a pair of black eyes!

When I closed my eyes, Taoist Master Zhang came up to me.

His eyes are so close to mine!

All I could see was his pair of eyes that were as dark as a dry well!

Then I heard a series of chanting.

It sounds like some kind of Taoist mantra.

But the chanting sound was too vague and the tone was very strange, so I couldn't understand what was being chanted at all.

Snapped!

Taoist Master Zhang suddenly slapped me on the top of my head.

My eyes went dark and my body fell backwards uncontrollably.

When I opened my eyes again, I was still walking!

How is this going?

My vision went black and my body fell backwards, but why was I still walking?

I looked at Wang Hu and Zhao Ziang in confusion.

They both looked normal, as if they hadn't noticed anything unusual about me.

I turned around and looked at Cui Hao and the stone mill behind me.

They both had the same normal expression.

strange!

Was everything just now an illusion?

Or did my soul leave my body and enter the eyes of Taoist Master Zhang, while my body remained normal?

Perhaps only Taoist Master Zhang knows the answer.

Taoist Master Zhang narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly at me: "Don't panic, I used the technique of introspection on you."

"What did you see?" I asked hurriedly.

Taoist Master Zhang stretched out his hand and pointed upwards: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."

"Anyway, everyone's life depends on you."

This statement is very vague.

It's already this late, why do you still have to keep the secret secret?

To be honest, at that time I felt a little resentful towards Taoist Master Zhang for being so mysterious.

But later I realized his good intentions in not revealing the secret.

It is not easy to change your destiny.

Especially after the secret is revealed, it becomes extremely difficult to change your fate.

The mystery of metaphysics lies here.

Hua Hua Hua.

The sound of flowing water could be heard.

The temperature inside the cave is also much lower than when we first came in.

The damp feeling made me feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhao Ziang walked towards me.

He was trembling with nervousness: "Master Chen, there is a hidden river ahead."

"The dark river with lots of heads in the water!"

It seems we are almost there.

When I was about to tell Cui Hao and the others to be on high alert, Old Man Su suddenly quickened his pace.

Su Meng and Su Lou followed Old Man Su closely, and the three of them ran towards the dark river together.

"Lao Su!" I wanted to call out to them.

But they acted as if they didn't hear it and ran forward without looking back.

I vaguely heard Old Man Su say that he heard Sheng'er's voice and that Sheng'er was right in front, so hurry up and save him.

But as far as the eye could see, there was no sign of Su Sheng!

Is it that the thing that has bewitched them has taken effect?

Thinking this, I quickened my pace and stayed more than 20 meters behind Old Man Su and the others.

This distance is enough to ensure safety.

If there is any sudden situation, there will be time to react in various ways.

Zhao Ziang followed closely beside me and said, "Why are Lao Su and the others running so fast? Something doesn't seem right!"

"Master Chen, I feel like the cave is colder than the last time I came here, and the yin energy seems to be even heavier!"

"How about we just..."

It seems that the experience of entering the cave last time left him with a great psychological trauma.

Seeing the abnormal state of Old Man Su and the others, Zhao Ziang began to back down again.

"If you're scared, just go back on your own." I said coldly.

Zhao Ziang forced a smile and said with a stiff upper lip, "I'm not afraid. How could I be afraid?"

"I'm just thinking about your safety, Master Chen..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Old Man Su's shouting from the front.

"Sheng'er! My Sheng'er!"

"Master Chen, come quickly!"

"Come and help me save my baby!"
