It turns out that this stone is a sacrificial platform. As long as you drip the blood of living men and women on it and add this difficult-to-pronounce spell, it will be a small sacrifice to appease the evil spirits here.
We looked up at the banks of the river again, and the staggering headless bodies slowly fell down like deflated balls and crawled back under the coal mud. Less than ten minutes later, there were no bodies on both sides of the river, and the river returned to its initial tranquility, with the thin layer of coal mud covering the ground, as if it had never moved.
The crazy woman pointed to the southeast and screamed. I understood that the blood river was not the exit. The real way out was there. No wonder we saw her being hugged by the corpse in this direction when we slid down.
Although the corpses have been calmed at this moment, they still cannot come into contact with human life, so it is difficult to walk through them.
I touched my nose and thought about it, and then I took out a handful of moxa leaves from my bag and gave them to the two of them. I took off my soaked shoes, and stuck moxa leaves on the soles of my feet, palms of my hands, and between my eyebrows. I was not sure whether this would guarantee that no anger would be released. But at least it could restrain all the anger. Even if a few of them were revived, there would not be a large-scale collective resurrection like before, and we still had a chance to reach the exit.
The three of them slipped into the river and swam to the shore. Just then, the little white flag also came back to meet Lin Mengxi. They put away the flag and walked forward in fear. It was not known whether it was because of the soul-fixing stone ritual or the effect of the mugwort leaves, but the three of them passed through the vast burial ground diagonally and reached the end of the stone wall without any incident.
The stone wall in front of him arched upward like a dome. He suspected that he had reached the edge of the mountain. If he could find an exit, there would be life outside. He was happy at the thought of being able to get out alive, but he was not happy for half a second. Suddenly, he thought of Shen Bing, Wang Zijun, Lu Fei and others, and his heart sank again.
I looked at Qu Mo and thought I should send her out first, and then I would come back to find them. If Qu Mo hadn't followed me, she would have followed that dead ghost back to the Soul-Reflecting Well. Now I can't ignore Qu Mo's life or death, I have to save as many as I can. Shen Bing will be put last, this is my responsibility, Shen Bing will definitely understand.
Qu Mo is very smart. Seeing that I looked unhappy, he seemed to see through my thoughts and said to me, "It's too weird here. Let's go out first and make plans. I believe that all three of them will be fine. We will definitely be able to rescue them."
I sighed and said, "I hope so." She was trying to comfort me. In fact, I felt that her heart should be as clear as a mirror. If they fell into the Soul Reflection Well, would they still be alive? But getting out was also a good option. At least they could go back in from the cave entrance and enter from the main gate of the ghost town, which would save a lot of trouble. If they died, I didn't know if I could bring back three lives from the underworld.
I've been to the underworld three times. Do you think the underworld was opened for our family? Let alone three lives, if I go there again now, I'm afraid it would be difficult to bring back even one!
Just when I was feeling very depressed, I heard the crazy woman on the left yelling twice and waving for us to come over. She ran forward along the stone wall for a while, and suddenly her figure flashed and disappeared from sight.
There seemed to be a cave entrance over there, so Qu Mo and I hurriedly chased after it. When we got there, it was indeed a cave entrance, but it was a little short and narrow, and looked like a dog hole. No matter what kind of cave it was, we pushed Qu Mo in first, and then crawled in. It was just big enough for me. If I were a little fatter, it would be a disaster.
As soon as I climbed into the cave, I heard Qu Mo's screams, and it seemed that he was falling down. I wondered what was going on, and squeezed in desperately. When I was about to adjust the light to look forward, I saw a deep pit in front of me, and the entrance of the cave was slippery, so I slipped and fell down.
