Then a priest held the dead sacrifice and entered the place where there were two pools on the altar, which was the most important place to sacrifice snake bones.
No matter what kind of ritual is to be performed, the deceased and the phoenix gall must be sunk into the two corresponding pools at the same time!
This seems to be to maintain some kind of balance of power!
The scene of the killing ceremony was too cruel, and I felt unwell after watching both sides continuously, even Zhou Xun!
Although Zhou Xun's strength is high, he has never experienced such a cruel and bloody scene.
In the face of this kind of scene, Lao Hu saw more broken limbs and broken arms on the battlefield, but he couldn't accept these!
Old Hu forced back the nausea and terror in his heart and asked Xueli Yang: "Is there no other way?"
Lao Hu couldn't accept it in his heart. From Lao Hu's point of view, it is unacceptable in any case to kill each other in order to survive, no matter in terms of morality or conscience.
Colleagues, to put it bluntly, are brothers and partners who eat together, and they all eat in the same pot. Who can do evil to whom, and point their guns at their comrades.
Even if he survives by luck, he will surely fall into a situation of eternal doom. He can get rid of the curse of the ghost cave, but he will never be able to get rid of the curse of his own conscience!
Shirley Yang also had a great feeling of Fudan at this moment.
Zhou Xun comforted the two of them: "Don't worry, it's not a dead end now, there must be other ways!"
The stone troughs and walls where the skinning and killing rituals are held are unbearable to watch.
The three returned to the hall with two pools, only to see Ah Xiang and Han Shuna sitting beside Uncle Ming (bgea) sobbing softly.
Uncle Ming's eyes were blank, and he sat with his head hanging on the wall of the chair. Chuyi and Yingzhen took the opportunity to sit down and rest, while the fat man was squatting on the ground, watching a weird crystal bowl.
Seeing the three of them coming back, the fat man quickly waved to Zhou Xun and the others, motioning for them to come over.
The three walked over.
The body of the crystal bowl is like a small water tank, and the top is connected to the mountain of Yushan, but it is a seamless one, and there is no excuse.
I don't know when, a thin strand of dark cyan crystal sand leaked from above.
The bowl has already accumulated a full layer.
The three of them looked up along the place where the crystal sand flowed out. At the interface with the mountain, there was a black mural of a demon, whose face was blurred and unrecognizable.
But Zhou Xun knew that it was Daheitian hitting Leishan!
This crystal bowl, which is constantly pouring quicksand, seems to be an ancient timer.
The fat man said to the three of them solemnly: "From the moment I came in, I found that this thing began to flow into the crystal sand, judging from my appreciation of antiquities and aesthetic taste."
"This item has a bit of weird skills, and it can fetch a good price in Panjiayuan. Why don't we move it back as a souvenir for collection? It just so happens that Master Zhou's museum can also add an item!"
Lao Hu was absent-minded at this moment, shook his head at Fatty, and nodded again!
Zhou Xun didn't expect the fat man to be so considerate of himself, so he patted the fat man in relief.
Nice lad, making progress!
Xue Liyang said: "Maybe after we entered the altar, we accidentally triggered some mechanism, and the crystal bowl began to count down."
"If we don't complete the ritual before the quicksand fills, then..."
As Xue Liyang said, she cast her eyes on the dark shadow-like mural of demons!
Lao Hu suddenly realized: "That's right, this underground altar is the core of the sanctuary of the Eluohai people. Naturally, they can't enter and leave casually. If there is a certain time, the ceremony will not be held..."
Zhou Xundao: "If the time is up and the ceremony is not held, then the Daheitian Thunder Mountain in the tunnel will be put into the altar by the white tunnel!"
Old Hu nodded and said: "That's right, we don't know what that black shadow-like thing is, it seems to be some kind of evil substance existing in the crystal stone!"
"It's the monitor of the altar, so how much time do we have left now?".
Chapter 332 Sudden realization
Shirley Yang said: "Judging by the speed of quicksand injection and the size of the crystal bowl, we have no more than two and a half to three hours left!"
"The cruel skinning and killing ritual must be completed within this time!"
Faced with the countdown of time passing by, Lao Hu panicked again, looking at the crystal bowl, as if what was left was not crystal sand, but the soul was constantly gushing out of the body!
Xueli Yang said: "There is still plenty of time, but staying at the altar in Yushan and staring at the quicksand will only suddenly increase the pressure in my heart."
"Let's retreat to the stone path and Tianliang outside first, and discuss how to deal with this matter!"
Zhou Xun, Lao Hu, and Fatty have no objections.
So they took Ah Xiang, Han Shuna, Uncle Ming "September [-]" and Zhang Yingzhen, and temporarily left the evil altar cave on the first day of the new year.
Sitting under the stone statue near the Tianliang, each of them was thinking about something and fell silent.
Zhou Xun thought to himself: What's the situation? Isn't Muchen Bead and Ghost Eye the way to break the curse?
Eye?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xun slapped his forehead fiercely, he didn't expect that he would be frightened by that mural too, and forgot such an important sacrificial plot.
"Snapped!"
In the already quiet atmosphere, Zhou Xun's sudden move startled everyone.
Shirley Yang asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Xundao: "I think we were all taken aback by the mural of killing people and skinning at first. It's not skinning at all, but eyelid cutting!"
Eyelid cutting?
The fat man wondered, "Why did you cut your eyelids? Could it be that the people of the Demon Kingdom like to eat cold eyelids when they drink? Or does the snake god like it?"
Zhou Xun said: "No, the eyelids were cut just to take out the eyes, and the person was placed in the stone trough to take out the eyes, and the ones sacrificed with Muchen Bead were also the eyes!"
Zhou Xun's words immediately made everyone, especially Shirley Yang and Lao Hu think.
Old Hu said: "Could it be that we have misunderstood it?"
Shirley Yang thought for a while and said, "It's very possible, after all, in the Demon Kingdom, eyes are the source of power!"
Zhou Xundao: "In the first mural of skinning, the priest holds down the victim's head and cuts it open with a sharp weapon from the forehead. I have heard that skinning is done from the head with a sharp knife, so we all have preconceived ideas. No, I didn’t think about it in other ways!”
"In addition, the execution pit was too bloody. We were all suppressing the pain in our hearts at the time, so we all thought it was skinning people!"
The fat man cast a glance at Uncle Ming and said, "Then what should we do? If we want to lift the curse, we must have eyes. Where did we get the eyes? If it doesn't work, then...!"
The fat man didn't say anything later.
But the meaning is already obvious.
If it doesn't work, find someone to dig out your eyes.
Zhou Xun, Lao Hu, Fatty, Shirley Yang, and Zhang Yingzhen will definitely not sacrifice righteously.
After all, a group of people, young and powerful, with hot weapons, is undoubtedly the strongest party.
The first day of junior high school is not easy, and the strength is not bad.
Then there are three members of Uncle Ming's family, old and young, women and children, to choose from.
Uncle Ming is also awake now, he just heard the fat man's words, and now he is trembling with fright.Zhang Yingzhen reminded: "We have a time limit, we have to make a decision early!" Shirley Yang really couldn't bear to kill each other.
Lao Hu couldn't help but set his sights on Uncle Ming.
As for Ah Xiang and Han Shuna, Lao Hu is not yet capable of attacking women. As for Uncle Ming, he is also insane anyway, and there is no big difference between having eyes and not having eyes.
Han Shuna and Axiang were terrified as they were next to Uncle Ming. They were afraid that Zhou Xun and the others would attack them, so they had no power to resist.
On the first day of junior high school, he also became worried. He didn't think he would be the opponent of Zhou Xun and others. Besides, his shotgun was out of bullets.
In addition, he saw Zhou Xun kill the salamander with his own eyes before, and he knew even more in his heart that he was definitely not Zhou Xun's opponent.
Old Hu looked at Uncle Ming with more and more firm eyes, people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth will perish...
No matter how kind he is, he will never spend the rest of his life and that of his brothers being kind.
Thinking of this, Lao Hu said harshly: "It's really not possible, I think Uncle Ming is also insane..." Lao Hu still hasn't said anything!
Uncle Ming suddenly screamed in fright, and stopped pretending.
He hurriedly cried and begged: "Brother Hu, brother Hu, I'm already healed, I'm really healed, don't forget, I'm still your father-in-law, and I will marry Axiang to you after I go out, you can't treat me Let's do it!" Lao Hu was immediately disappointed when he saw that Uncle Ming had recovered. "Okay, you guys wait here, I'll go find the eyes!"
After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he went directly to an underground cave of crystal veins in his memory.
Not surprisingly, there will be an underground water hole, the old fish with white beard is there, and the ghost mother's eyeballs are in the old bearded fish's belly.
Seeing Zhou Xun suddenly leave to look for his eyes, everyone became puzzled.
What eyes can be found here?
But for the first day of junior high school, Uncle Ming, A Xiang, and Han Shuna, it's all right if they don't go out their glasses.
These people explained that they were too scared to speak, because they were afraid that Fatty Hu and the others would focus on them.
Zhou Xun searched under 4.0 for a while, but still couldn't find the location of the underground water hole.
Just when Zhou Xun was anxious, he suddenly heard the sound of water hitting the stone wall.
Zhou Xun immediately ran towards the sound of water as if he had found a water source in the desert.
Sure enough, Zhou Xun found an underground water hole in a crystal vein.
The underground water hole is not small, and the water inside has been stained red with blood.
The old white-bearded fish that I had seen in the wind-eroded lake was stranded near the water, dying.
Although he is still alive, death is already a matter of time.
Its whole body was covered with wounds caused by the bite and impact. The fish's mouth opened and closed, spitting out blood bubbles non-stop.
But no matter how I vomit, I don't vomit the ghost mother's eyes. .
Chapter 333 The Ghost Mother's Eyes
Helpless, Zhou Xun could only wait quietly beside him.
After half an hour.
Just when Zhou Xun lost his patience and was about to pull out the Minghong knife and cut open the belly of the white-bearded old fish.
The old fish with white beard gushed out a mouthful of blood, and spit out two beads-like things from his mouth.
It fell to the ground dripping.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun was worried about accidents, so he immediately stepped forward to pick up the two beads.
Looking at the two beads in his hand, Zhou Xun knew that these were the eyes of the ghost mother.
Looking at the eyes of the ghost mother in his hand, Zhou Xun smiled with satisfaction. With the eyes of the ghost mother, their purpose of this trip has been achieved.
Coupled with Muchen Bead, the curse will definitely be lifted.
Just when Zhou Xun was about to leave, Zhou Xun suddenly felt something important.
Immediately, Zhou Xun pinched his fingers and counted.
After calculating it, Zhou Xun was very excited. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, there is a way of life in this underground water hole.
You know, he had been thinking about how to leave here before. I have to say, how many people in the original book can leave is really because the protagonist's fate is too strong.
If 16 were someone else, he would have died a long time ago, so how could he still be able to get out.
Good luck!
So doing things that combine luck, Zhou Xun doesn't think he has a way to take everyone out from there.
Zhou Xun looked at the underground water hole excitedly. Although he knew that the water veins of the underground lake were complicated, Zhou Xun did not expect that there was a way to leave here.
Straight to the perimeter.
Getting the ghost mother's eyes, and accidentally finding the way to leave, what a double blessing!
Being able to feel the heart, this is the power of the Houtian Bagua, of course, thanks to Zhou Xun's deep grasp of the Houtian Bagua and Tuibeitu, this is the reason for the heavenly induction.
Otherwise, people like Chen Xiazi and Lao Hu, who are just starting out, want to reach Zhou Xun's level, in addition to having chance and understanding, they must be at least a few decades old to do so.
After all, the Tao of Xuanmen is mysterious and mysterious!
With the eyes of the ghost mother, Zhou Xun quickly returned to the place where everyone gathered.
I saw that everyone was in a mess.
