Chapter 150: Youdu Tubo
I shook my head, "I'm fine, Uncle Second, please listen to me. It's really dangerous. There's a terrible bug..."
Before I finished speaking, my second uncle waved at me, "Okay, okay, we know what you said."
I couldn't help but be stunned, "Then you were there just now..."
Yuan An smiled beside him, "Your second uncle was looking for you just now, he is very worried about your safety!"
My heart couldn't help but feel warm, "Uncle Second, don't worry, my luck is pretty good, it's okay!"
Uncle Second nodded, and I immediately asked, "Uncle Second, do you think you already know that kind of insect? Have you seen it?"
The second uncle sighed, "It's not just that I've seen it, but two guys were dead inside!"
When I heard my second uncle say this, my heart suddenly sank, and then I asked, "Will we be in danger here?"
Yuan An shook his head gently, "No, I found that this kind of insect doesn't seem to leave those pools." I felt a little relieved when I heard Yuan An say this.
I followed my second uncle and the others to the edge of a sacrificial pool. Under the flashlight, I saw a person lying on the bottom of the pool, but his whole body had collapsed, like a shriveled inflatable doll.
I just took a look and couldn't bear to take a second look, so I turned my head to one side. I couldn't help feeling sad. It was said that people who fought against each other would not have a good end, but the end seemed a little tragic.
At this moment, a guy suddenly pointed at the corpse inside and shouted, "Look, blood is coming out."
I looked up again and saw some blood that had not yet solidified flowing out along the corpse, flowing into the black hole in the middle along the smooth bottom of the pool. The gathering of blood, I think this is probably the real use of the sacrificial pool.
Everyone looked at this scene in horror. This time I didn't avoid it. I just stared blankly at the bright red blood flowing into the black hole like a blood line. I felt that this blood line not only took away the life of this guy, but also the strength and courage in my heart. I felt that my body became empty. I just want to hide now, and I don't care about anything, and I don't ask anything.
The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone fell silent. I don’t know if this was considered silence. Suddenly, Wen Mo’s voice sounded, “No, that’s not blood!”
I looked at Wenmo strangely, then turned my head to look at the blood flow at the bottom of the pond. I looked forward until then I realized that it was indeed not a blood flow, it was clearly a long list of bright red bugs. Maybe it was because I had seen it before, I could tell it faster than others.
Lantern Festival next to him also saw it and blurted out, "Damn! They are those little bugs, but why did they turn red!"
Uncle Er said, "It should be because the body is full of flesh and blood!"
Looking at so many blood-like little bugs, my whole body felt numb and I couldn't help but take a few steps away from the edge of this sacrificial pool.
Yuan An waved his hand gently, "Okay, if you enter the fight, you will be mentally prepared. Going to the fight can make you rich and kill you suddenly. Everyone has their own lives, let's go! I think we are not far from the core!"
After this, when things were over, there was no way out. Everyone cheered up and began to move forward. However, when passing by the sacrificial pools that seemed to be gloomy, everyone subconsciously stayed away.
As I walked, I was thinking that most of the strange insects in the sacrificial pond were also one of the tools to participate in the sacrificial sacrifice. The ancient ancestors used the characteristics of these strange insects to suck the flesh and blood of the sacrifice, and then transmitted them through the deep holes under the sacrificial pond, but they didn't know where these deep holes eventually led.
There are many such sacrificial pools along the way, but in addition to these, the statues on the stone wall behind the sacrificial pool. In addition to admiring the craftsmanship of the craftsmanship, there is also something that makes me very curious about. None of these statues I have seen are similar. What amazed me the most is that even if the two statues are similar in appearance, their appearance and even the eyes can make you see the difference at once. I suddenly felt that these statues were a little strange, but I couldn't tell what they were.
After walking forward for more than ten minutes, we finally saw the exit of this passage appearing in front of it. The passage is pitch black outside. Yuan An said, we are not far from the core here, and I don’t know if it is inside.
When we walked to the exit of the passage, we unexpectedly found that although there was no door here, there was a huge stone on the edge of the exit. The stone facing us was very flat and was carved on it.
We got closer, shone it on the flashlight, looked carefully, and found that there was a strange carving on the top of the stone. There was a monster with a tiger-headed and cow-shaped body on it, and there was a wide vertical pattern on its eyebrows. When we looked closely, it seemed to be the monster's third eye. In addition, there were also a pair of horns on its head.
I looked at it for no reason, and I really couldn't remember what the source of such a look was. Yuanxiao took a flashlight and said, "I'll go, what is the monster engraved on it?"
The second uncle said, "This is not a monster. The image on it is the legendary ancient god named Tu Bo. It is said that he is in charge of the underworld and Youdu."
"What does he mean here?" Lan Xiao asked curiously.
Yuan An frowned and said, "It seems that our judgment was correct at the beginning. I'm afraid this place is really related to the tomb. Putting the Tu Bo in charge of the underworld here is nothing more than indicating that behind this exit is the underworld Youdu, and the underworld Youdu, of course, it will not be prepared for the living!"
Speaking of this, Yuan An sighed, "After a walk, I returned to my old career!" As he said, Yuan An took the lead and walked in. Tian Laosi waved to the Yuan family's friends, "Hurry up, keep up!"
Seeing the Yuan family walk out of the passage, Yuanxiao and I couldn't help but look at our second uncle, "Uncle II, where are we?"
The second uncle smiled and said, "Of course we have to go in! But everyone should be careful. We have already walked here and go further. In addition to the dangers of the agency, we have another special attention. It is very likely that we and the Yuan family will not be there."
"I know!" Yuanxiao snorted coldly, "There is that stupid Tang Jian'an!"
In fact, I thought the second uncle was referring to him, but the second uncle shook his head, "Tang Jianan has nothing to be afraid of. He is nothing but a naughty young man. The person we need to be wary of is that Mr. Hong!"
Uncle II didn’t mention it, I forgot about that black mask. Yes, that’s right, this person is indeed the most mysterious person.
When I heard from the second uncle about Mr. Hong at Lantern Festival, I didn’t know who we were talking about, “Mr. Hong? Who?”
"A dangerous person!" As he said, the second uncle also stepped through the exit of the passage.
Outside the passage, the space became large again, and there was a thick layer of soft things on the ground, which looked like soil, but it seemed to be the product of the rotten wood.
After walking a few steps forward, I suddenly realized something was wrong. I looked around and found that Wen Mo did not follow us. I felt moved and thought, could this guy slip away again? I hurriedly looked back and found that he was still standing in place and didn't move!
I didn't rush to call him, but looked at him. Wen Mo seemed to be in a daze. This situation made me very curious. This was the first time I saw him in such a distracted state. I always felt that Wen Mo was like a high-efficiency machine, but I didn't expect that one day the "machine" would also slip away. I don't know what he was thinking. Is there something special here?
I saw that Wen Mo was just standing there and there was no substantial action. I thought I was wrong. He might be thinking, so he shouted, "Hey, boss, what are you thinking? Let's go!"
After I called out, Wen Mo seemed to come back to his senses and nodded. It turned out that he was really distracted, which made me almost unable to help asking him what he was thinking. The words had already reached my mouth. I still thought about it for a while and swallowed it back. Because, I knew that if I asked this kind of question, I would not get an answer.
Wen Mo came over and continued to move forward with us. After walking a few steps, he saw the members of the Yuan family standing in front, as if they were talking about something.
The second uncle walked over quickly and patted Yuan An on the shoulder. He was about to talk, but when he looked forward, he was stunned without saying anything.
We walked up to them and looked forward with their eyes, and were also stunned.
Because we actually saw a dense forest ahead! I rubbed my eyes incredibly, then looked down at my feet. Could it be that this is really land, but I think it is impossible. To support the growth of so many trees, there must be enough soil. How can such a thick layer of soil be found in the depths of the mountain?
I reached out and pushed away the covering under my feet. After a few strokes, the hard rocks were indeed exposed.
Could it be that I was wrong? I looked up at the bushes not far away in front of me, and found that many trees were entangled in branches, cross-over, and what was it?!
Everyone raised the flashlight, looked at it, and found that there seemed to be no danger, so they walked forward.
But when we walked to the woods and truly saw its true face, we felt even more shocked!
What we see in front of us is not accurate to say that it is a tree, but it is not a tree, it is not accurate to say that it is not a tree. Because these things that seem to be like trees are actually many thick roots! I really can't imagine how those ancient ancestors thought of forming such a strange scene here. The key is how they did it?
(ps: As the Spring Festival approaches, I wish you a happy New Year, good health, happy family, and all the best! Thank you for your support for "Nine Dragons Coffin"!!)
