My Taoist Career

Chapter 842: happened before

But I can't get excited now. Any thought with too strong subjective consciousness will lead to the failure of such 'communication'. I can only calm down and look at it all from the perspective of a truly calm bystander.

Weird firelight danced, some kind of prayer was recited in a completely unfamiliar language, ferocious bronze masks, completely naked men and women, with totems that looked like evil ghosts painted on their bodies, and in the middle of the crowd there was another person less than 1 meter tall. Mi 55, the gray-haired old man kept dancing an aggressive and primitive dance to the rhythm of the prayers...

Looking at all this, if it weren't for the clarity in my heart that reminded me that this was a real scene that happened in this cave, I would have thought that I had returned to a primitive tribe, or that I was on the set of a mysterious horror movie.

Finally, the long prayer was over, and all the kneeling men and women stood up. At this time, I was surprised to discover why I had always felt that something was wrong with these people, just like the resentful ghosts I saw just now!

They are very short, very short. The dancing old man is the tallest among them. Most men and women are no more than 1.5 meters tall. The heads wearing ferocious masks are big, the necks are a little thin, and the bodies are all the same. There is a feeling of stunted growth, with thin limbs and a slightly protruding belly.

Who are these people? My mind is in a mess. At this moment, the dancing old man is standing in the middle and saying something. The language is extremely strange. I have traveled all over the country. I don’t speak many languages, but I have some understanding of the languages in the land of China. Even if I meet Some of them can’t speak it and can’t understand it very well, but they generally know which local dialect or which ethnic minority language family they belong to.

But I have no clue about the old man's words, because the way of pronunciation is really unfamiliar to me.

I frowned and watched all this quietly. After the old man finished speaking excitedly, he pointed towards the gap in the roof of the cave, and then I saw a person with a full body quilt forced in from the gap. The person is tied up and then slowly lowered with a rope.

Then, the second, the third... ..

A total of seven people were put down. Finally, a few more people wearing bronze masks pulled the ropes and slid down from the gap, pushing the seven people who were all tied up to the water pool!

These seven people should belong to the same place as the people in the cave. They all have the iconic big heads and thin necks. They look like dwarfs, but are slightly taller than dwarfs. These seven people are not wearing any clothes. Masks, so I can see their looks clearly. There is not much difference from the looks of Asians. The only difference, which is also an extremely impressive difference, is that they all have gray eyes, which look unusual. Cold and ruthless.

So why these seven people? I had a feeling in my heart that a cruel scene might happen next. My throat was a little dry, so I could only think of some irrelevant questions to divert my attention.

But an unintentional thought made me really notice a detail, that is, these seven people are much taller than the other people in the cave. Visually, the men are about 1.6 meters, and the women are also 1.5 meters. Around 1,000 feet is already considered a normal height for human beings. Could it be that because of his height, he got that miserable end

In the blink of an eye, the seven people had been pushed to the edge of the pool, and then they were forced down, and they were fixed to lie down in a strange way with their limbs fully open, and then ropes were tied to their limbs.

Then, the old man stepped forward and said something, and the crowd began to cheer, and then rushed to pull the ropes.

I want to close my eyes. Since ancient times, the torture of dismembering the body by five horses has been practiced, but the method of using human power to pull the rope looks much crueler than the torture of dismembering the body by five horses. After all, the dismemberment by five horses is very fast, and the torturer does not have to endure too much. Pain, death means the end. At this scene, people are still alive, but their limbs are being pulled like this. From the beginning of the execution, they have been making earth-shattering screams, accompanied by the excitement of those who pulled the rope. With the cheers and the jumping firelight, the scene was like hell!

But I couldn't close my eyes, otherwise this communication would be interrupted. I could only watch the execution of this torture, and watch the limbs of the seven torturers being torn off in an extremely irregular manner, but I couldn't. Die to relieve this pain, blood is flowing all over the ground, and the screams are continuous...

Then, the torn limbs were thrown into the water with the ropes attached. The mysterious old man came forward, knelt down towards the pool again, said something in an excited and crazy tone, and bowed a few more times. .

Behind him, his tribesmen knelt down and worshiped a few times like him. Then, as if they were afraid of something, they ran out of the cave one after another along the ropes hanging from the gaps.

Before the fire was extinguished, the seven tortured people were untied and thrown here, screaming in pain. Later, due to excessive blood loss, they could only moan and feel extremely weak...

Despite this, I saw some people struggling to stay away from the pool, but how could they do it? And no one will come to save them here. What they face is waiting for death, and the despair of unknown fear.

I'm not a fool. Judging from the behavior of these cold-hearted "grey-eyed people" (let's call them gray-eyed people), there must be something in this pool that they admire and fear. That's why I can judge that these seven people must still be there. To face the fear of the unknown.

Thinking like this, I turned my attention to the water pool. The water pool was very quiet. The water surface that was stained red by blood had faded away and returned to its original dark color. There was nothing visible.

I don’t know what I was thinking. Since I didn’t find anything in the pool, I looked at the stone pillar protruding along the mountain wall. Looking up all the way, I really discovered something unusual. And this discovery But what really made me feel uneasy was that this communication was interrupted.

But I couldn't care anymore. I saw a handful of purple on the top of the stone pillar, slightly emitting a mysterious fluorescence, but the communication was interrupted before I could see it clearly.

But it doesn't matter. I took the flashlight from Xiao Chengqian, who was still in the mysterious communication, and then shined it towards the top of the pillar. I found that the top of the pillar was hidden in the darkness, and that touch of light was covered by black. The mysterious purple is still there, still with a very weak purple fluorescence. Because of the darkness in the cave, they grow near the pillars. I didn't even notice its existence when I first entered the cave.

It turns out that these gray-eyed people are not worshiping the pool at all, but worshiping the handful of purple plants growing on the top of the pillars. There is some water seeping on the top of the cave, and occasionally a drop will drip on the purple plants. It is like this. Survival

My face turned ugly. At this moment, I only had one thought in my mind: How on earth am I going to get up there

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Chengqian let out a cry of fear, and suddenly woke up from the exchange of consciousness. He looked at me in shock and gasped for air.

I did not rush to tell Xiao Chengqian about the discovery of the purple plant, but asked him: "What's wrong with you?"

"Chengyi, it's too scary. There is something scary in this pool. Let's get out of here, get out of here quickly!" Xiao Chengqian's mood was a little unstable, and the resentful ghost over there showed his expression again when Xiao Chengqian woke up. With a sad look on his face, and the same fear!

It suddenly became clear to me that to become a fierce ghost is to hate one's 'creditors' unbridledly. However, these grey-eyed people who were brutally killed did not dare to hate because they were afraid and could only complain, so they did not become a fierce ghost!

What makes them so afraid is naturally the existence under the water. Judging from Xiao Chengqian's performance, the existence under the water must be an amazing guy!

But I can't leave. Purple plants are also one of the disasters left by Kunlun. Master once said that this kind of effect also has a cause in him. As a disciple of Lao Li's lineage, how can I turn a blind eye

I put my hand on Xiao Chengqian's shoulder and signaled him to calm down. Only then did I realize that I was still holding the pen in my hand. I suddenly had a bolder idea in my mind, but before that, I had to comfort him first. Xiao Chengqian.

"Xiao Chengqian, don't be so excited. You have to at least tell me what you saw, right?" I asked.

Xiao Chengqian calmed down a little at this time, and asked me with some confusion: "Didn't you see it?"

"Because I discovered something else and was so excited that I broke off this connection." I explained to Xiao Chengqian calmly.

Xiao Chengqian took a deep breath, and then said to me: "Remember the huge monster we met before we came in, right? There is an even stranger monster in this pool!"

I was stunned for a moment. Are there monsters in this pool? How could such a huge monster exist in such a small pool
