Chapter 99 Eyeballs for sacrifice
I looked at it and shook my head. I had no idea at all. Uncle Er didn't seem to have any idea. Instead, Wen Mo kept staring at the Niqiu in a daze. His brows were frowning, as if he was thinking about something.
I walked over and asked, "Wen Mo, have you thought of anything?"
After hearing what I asked, Yuanxiao also came over, "Boss, do you know what this is?"
Wen Mo shook his head gently, "I can't say it specifically, I just guess. Judging from the smell and the shape outside, and combined with some clues we discovered before, I speculate that the sealed mud balls should be the eyeballs of people!"
Wen Mo's words made us stunned. I looked at the mud balls and the foul-smelling black water on the ground next to me, and suddenly I felt a little disgusted.
Yuanxiao also showed a nauseous expression, "This ancient ancestor is perverted, why are you doing so many eyes?"
Uncle Er said, "Closed the eyeballs with mud, and then covered them with such a pile of stones. It is obviously a form of sacrifice."
Yuanxiao glared at her eyes, "What kind of god is this worshipped? He actually used his eyes as a tribute?"
The second uncle looked at us, "You should have all heard the legend of Nuwa creating humans. This is because people in ancient times did not know the theory of evolution. They felt that the human skin was soft and yellow, like soil, so they imagined the story of Nuwa creating humans. However, there was only one part, unlike soil, that was the eyes. Therefore, the ancients thought that after Nuwa used soil to build a good human body, they gave humans bright eyes with divine power. So when it was very ancient, the eyes had different meanings to people."
Yuanxiao sneered, "I've been making trouble for a long time. My eyes were still expensive gifts in ancient times! However, this legend is not reliable. Not only the eyes, but also the hair doesn't look like it's mud-pinched!"
The second uncle cursed: "You little bastard, you're right! Then go and tell the people from ancient times!"
When Lantern Festival saw the second uncle, she looked unhappy and laughed repeatedly, "Uncle Two, I'm having fun with you, don't mind."
I asked a little strangely: "Uncle II is wrong. Since the meaning of eyes in ancient times is so different, why have I never heard of any records in history about sacrifices with eyes?"
Second Uncle said: "In fact, this relatively cruel and barbaric way of sacrifice has improved with the progress of people's civilization in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, and it became even more rare after the Han Dynasty. However, if we talk about it, this way of sacrifice is also related to the object of sacrifice."
"The object of sacrifice?" I couldn't help but lower my head and ponder.
The second uncle looked at me and said, "Don't forget the god with special eyes!"
I suddenly turned my head, "Uncle Second, are you referring to Alimoke?"
The second uncle smiled, "I'm not sure about this yet, but it's very likely!"
A huge mystery suddenly surged in my heart. If the worship of Alimokesau here was worshipped here, why did Alimokesau, a thousand miles away, also worship the ancient country of Shanhuan? At that time, a kind of belief culture would not be spread so far. Moreover, one was the deepest part of a hundred thousand mountains, and the other was the center of the vast desert.
If we prove that the god worshipped here is Alimokesau, then I can be sure that this place must have some special connection with the ancient kingdom of Shanhuan, but what is this special connection between them?
I looked at my second uncle in front of me, and I could hardly help asking the questions in my heart, but I thought of what my second uncle said to me alone outside the sinkhole just now, and I held back. I looked at Wen Mo next to me. Wen Mo seemed to be very thoughtful at this time, and he was frowning and thinking about something. This was the first time I saw his state. Although I was curious about what he was thinking, I knew that his personality was like another form of cooking dumplings in a teapot. If he didn't want to "open the lid", you would definitely not be able to ask anything! I didn't want to make it boring.
Looking at the many piles of steep stones in front of me, now we know that there are some people's eyes buried there. When I think of this, I can't help but get goosebumps all over my body.
At this time, the second uncle greeted, "Okay, these piles of stones have been figured out, let's continue moving forward," and said, the second uncle looked around, "Okay, let's go quickly, the fog has become thicker again!"
After Uncle Jing Er said this, I also discovered that the mist that had begun to fade just now, and I don’t know when it started to get thicker again.
Uncle Er looked around, chose a direction, and walked over first, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and said to us: "Hey! Be careful! Be sure to keep up, otherwise such a foggy day is in such a jungle, once it is dispersed, it will be difficult to find it!"
Yuanxiao said while walking: "Hey, I think we must improve our technological equipment next time. You said that we can only walk along the way, which is easy to understand. After all, it is all mountain roads, but this communication can only be yelled, which is a bit miserable."
An Naduo was next to Lantern Festival and couldn't help but give him a blank look, "A big man is whispering, I didn't say anything a woman. Besides, the Yuan family's team also has no communication equipment?"
"The Yuan family is different. They have one, but there is an accident and it cannot be used anymore. We don't have one at all." Yuanxiao said.
I said, "What's wrong with no communication equipment? We're still going all the way. If we don't have equipment, we can use our mouths. I think communication is yelling, which is also good."
Yuanxiao sneered, "It's good to yell?" As he said that, Yuanxiao suddenly shouted, and I was next to him, without any preparation at all. He was startled and immediately scolded: "You are so yelling! I'm scared!"
Yuanxiao smiled, "Look, how creepy this is!"
The second uncle in front turned around and cursed: "What are you doing? Are you sick? Do you know what strange things will be in this forest? Why do you want to call me over and have fun?"
Lantern Festival said indifferently, "I said, "Second uncle, you are too careful. I know that you are worried about attracting other people. You want me to tell me, just attract them. I want to see if he is a human or a ghost!"
The second uncle snorted, "You kid are simply a reckless man, what if you are not a human being!"
The characteristics of Yuanxiao's mouth appear again, "It's not a human, what can it be, or it can be a ghost..."
