Chapter 281: Departure Continued(2/2)
Naturally, the others were also very uncomfortable, and even their heartbeats were subconsciously beating a few minutes faster.
At this time, a human figurine that had fallen off at some point drifted slowly to the side of the boat with the current.
After Shirley Yang forced herself to calm down, she directly fixed it with the paratrooper knife she carried, keeping it parallel to the ship. Then she used a flashlight to observe closely: "These figurines look a bit Han Dynasty style, but they are more...
There are no specific characteristics.”
Ding Sitian also came closer, but as soon as she got closer, she frowned and said, "Something's wrong!"
Wang Kaixuan quickly asked: "Xiao Ding, what's wrong?"
Ding Sitian didn't care about her inner feelings. She took out her dagger and scratched the body of the figurines. Then she turned the blade upside down and brought it to her face. She took a gentle sniff and said, "These don't seem to be stone figurines!"
"Not stone figurines? What kind of figurines are they?" Wang Kaixuan asked in confusion.
But before Ding Sitian could answer, Shirley Yang said: "Sitian, use a knife to cut this human figurine open and take a look."
"Okay." Although Ding Sitian felt nauseous, she was still within the tolerance range.
And after she cut open the skin of the human figurine, she saw that it was full of maggot corpses that had long since rotted.
While washing the dagger in the water, she looked at the human figurines and said, "If I hadn't guessed, these human figurines should be made of living people."
In fact, after they saw these human figurines, they had some vague suspicions in their hearts, but before it was truly confirmed, no one thought that the truth would be so heartbreaking.
This can no longer be described as evil.
After getting the answer she wanted, Shirley Yang let go of the figurine. She washed the paratrooper knife and said: "It is rumored that King Xian was a wizard king in the ancient Yunnan period. This kind of thing is related to his methods.
It's very consistent. I've seen corresponding records in some ancient books. It says that the evil spells used by Xian Wang are mostly based on the souls of the deceased. It is said that the more the number of wronged souls, the more powerful the evil spell will be. I would like to use it with Xian Wang.
The evil technique on his own tomb will definitely cost him everything."
She paused for a moment before continuing: "I even guess that this is just a part. If we continue to go deeper, we may see more similar things."
Shirley Yang had conducted an in-depth investigation into King Xian. Although there were not many records left by this kind of frontier king, she was able to find some by piecing it together here and there.
However, the appearance of these human figurines also made her truly agree with the statement that King Xian's tomb is here.
"If these human figurines were made by King Xian, then this might be the waterway he built to transport materials at that time."
Shirley Yang, whose sanity came back online, made a judgment on the origin of this waterway in the blink of an eye.
After all, in the current environment, water transportation is the most time-saving and labor-saving shortcut.
Wang Kaixuan was not very interested in these. He glanced at the human figurines that had drifted away and asked with some uncertainty: "Does that mean these human figurines are all made of living people?"
Shirley Yang nodded lightly and said: "I saw it when searching for information. There is a kind of figurine in the evil technique, which is to tie up the whole body of the person, force it to swallow a kind of ' evil spirit', and then seal it to death.
Take the seven orifices of the human body, hang them up with copper chains and suffocate them alive, so that you can get a figurine of a ferocious human being."
It is precisely because of this that Shirley Yang asked Ding Sitian to cut open the human figurine for further verification.
