the last priest

"This forest is somewhat evil." Zhuo Xiong's first words after he landed made everyone's heartstrings break. "We walked for less than half an hour. According to the speed, we will not exceed two kilometers at most. This tree is extremely tall. I climbed to the top of the tree and looked back, but I didn't find the location of our previous camp. There are dense forests everywhere."

Speaking of this, Zhuo Xiong's complexion began to change again, his lips trembled slightly, and his tone became chaotic: "Besides, there are paper money everywhere on the top of the tree, spreading all over the entire forest, with no end in sight. paper money..." He gestured with his hand and added: "There is such a thick paper money, no, it is such a thick paper money!"

Cha Wenbin frowned and said, "What kind of paper money?"

"The round, white paper money that was sprinkled at the funeral, there are also yellow ingots, and there are also colorful paper money that prevents banknotes. There are all kinds of them. Look, I even grabbed a handful of them. With that said, Zhuo Xiong took out his trouser pocket, but when he took it out, it was clearly a handful of dead leaves.

Uncle Chang has been staring at Zhuo Xiong's pocket all the time, and when he found out that it was a leaf, he was furious: "You bad boy, make fun of the leaf, you will scare the coward to death."

Zhuo Xiong also looked at the leaves in his hand blankly, and explained to Cha Wenbin: "I clearly saw..."

Chaozi glared at Uncle Chang, thinking that you are an old boy who picks things up, and he will find a chance to punish you later, and then comforted Zhuo Xiong, saying: "I guess I'm getting dizzy from climbing too high, and the thing behind Brother Wenbin can see it." Too much, hypoxia produces hallucinations."

Zha Wenbin didn't want to catch up with the matter just after leaving the house, and comforted himself that it might be what Chaozi said. Unexpectedly, a white thing floated down from the top of the tree at this time. When Zha Wenbin looked up, The thing just covered his face.

Uncle Chang yelled: "Oh, Shaozi, you're making a big joke!" He hurriedly dodged behind Tang Yuanshan.

Zha Wenbin gently took it down and took a look. It was a piece of paper money, which imitated the shape of a copper coin. On it was written "Heaven and Earth Tongbao" in bright red cinnabar, which was particularly conspicuous.

Chao Zi whispered to Zhuo Xiong: "What the hell are you doing?"

Zhuo Xiong argued anxiously: "It's not me, I saw this thing from above, should you believe it this time?"

Zha Wenbin held the paper money. The paper was very new, as if it had not been cut for a long time, and it was about the size of a dish.It is not a good omen that the paper money used by the dead fell on the head of the living. Cha Wenbin gently took the paper money and did not throw it away. Instead, he folded it and put it in his Qiankun bag.

Tang Yuanshan is a member of the Luo Sect, he is not proficient in these things, at least he understands them, he must deal with some psychics, and asked very cautiously: "Mr. Cha, do you have any questions? "

Cha Wenbin showed a smile and said: "It has nothing to do with you, it's my own business." He turned to ask Zhuo Xiong, "Have you figured out the direction?"

"No, I can't see the sun at all, there is a cloud of clouds, it seems to be raining."

Hearing this, Tang Yuanshan became anxious. If it was really buried in the place where the first ray of light of the autumnal equinox according to the sketch, it would be a bad thing if it rained. How could there be light?

"Look at me." Cha Wenbin said to Zhuo Xiong: "Stare at my eyes, don't move anywhere, just stare at my eyeballs."

I saw Zhuo Xiong's eyelids began to open and close non-stop, and his body kept swaying slightly back and forth.

Cha Wenbin moved his steps lightly, and continued to say: "Yes, just look at me like this, don't look at anything else, just look into my eyes."

Cha Wenbin walked slowly, and Zhuo Xiong followed him and started to turn. Chaozi found that the frequency of the two people's turns was almost the same. Following the reminder from Cha Wenbin's mouth, they walked faster and faster. Zhuo Xiong has already walked a full circle as the center.The circle of the two facing each other is still going on, Zhuo Xiong's eyelids are almost closing, and his pupils are shrinking violently.After Zha Wenbin led Zhuo Xiong around for three full circles on the spot, he suddenly walked up to him without warning, clasped his hands together and slapped Zhuo Xiong in the air.

With a "snap", Zhuo Xiong's body trembled, and he woke up suddenly, and turned to the consultant on the ground, "When did I come down?"

Chaozi looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't I go up to see the direction? I remember I went up, why did I come down?"

Cha Wenbin touched the big tree with his hands and said, "Chaozi, Dashan, peel off the bark half a meter above the ground for me. Mr. Tang, your people can also help."

Four big men held sharp daggers, and according to the approximate location that Cha Wenbin said, a whole circle of bark about [-] centimeters wide was quickly peeled off.Cha Wenbin stared at the circle of blackened tree trunks, looked around and said to Chaozi: "Dagger, try to insert it in."

"That's good!" Chao Zi stabbed in with a knife. Although his dagger was very sharp, he never thought that it would be so easy to pierce this big tree. Duan completely sank into the handle of the knife just like sticking tofu.

Chaozi still finds it strange, what kind of tree species is this?No, the next scene made him feel even weirder.A stream of red liquid began to overflow along the knife edge, and it was drawn into a red thread, which seemed to be bleeding from a wound.

He was a brave man, he put one foot on the tree trunk, held the dagger with one hand and pulled it out, the red color immediately sprayed out from the wound as thick as his finger, if he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have splashed all over his body .

"****, what the hell is this!" Chaozi yelled.

Zha Wenbin squatted on the ground, rubbed a drop of the red liquid on his fingers, then sniffed it, turned to Tang Yuanshan and said, "Maybe I know where the salt sellers are."

"Didn't you mean to say that those people were sealed in the tree? But I didn't smell blood, but there was a fragrance." It turned out that Tang Yuanshan also did the same thing as Cha Wenbin, and he was also sniffing the red liquid.

"It smells good, right? This thing is very valuable." Hearing that Cha Wenbin said it was very valuable, Chaozi wanted to pour all the water in the kettle to pick up the red liquid, but Cha Wenbin's next sentence made him He gave up this idea: "If it was in ancient times, only the heaven and the earth were worthy of enjoying it. This is the best gift that God can contribute, but it seems that the raw materials are not top-notch. The real one should be the body of a virgin."

Tang Yuanshan was also aroused, at least the red liquid doesn't look so disgusting now, "Mr. Cha is well-informed, I would like to hear more about it."

"This tree is called a oak tree, and it is also called an oak tree in our country. Its seeds can be used to make tofu. Haven't you eaten Chaozi?"

"The red tofu made by Grandma Wang in the village uses the seeds of this thing?" Chaozi misses that stuff a little bit, it's similar to pig's blood, but the taste is much more delicious.

Cha Wenbin continued: "In the past, when there was not enough food, we would pick its seeds. An oak tree can be peeled after ten years of growth, and then every four years. It can be peeled for about 200 years. About, in the following 200 years, it can be peeled countless times. The bark that was originally picked is used for sealing, and the top-level coffin needs to be sealed. The smashed oak bark is one of the raw materials.

Later, someone discovered that the trunk of the oak tree has a more peculiar function, that is, it is used to hold the liquid for a long time, it will not decompose, and it will become pleasantly fragrant.

Probably the king named Du Kang in the Xia Dynasty invented wine. The product of this kind of grain essence was originally used to sacrifice gods. Alcohol has become a luxury.

Making wine with grain is obviously not enough to respect the gods, so someone came up with the idea of ​​using people to make wine.Feed the living people with good food and drink for three months, and find the fastest knife master to cut open the belly. It is said that as long as the knife is fast enough, the internal organs will not be completely dead when the internal organs are peeled off.Pour the brewed wine into the abdominal cavity, and then sew it up to find a large enough oak tree, which is easy to hollow and put people in to ferment.

It is said that when you want to take this kind of human wine, you only need to pierce a hole, and the red liquid mixed with blood will overflow, just like Chaozi.And people are still alive before being sent into the tree trunk, and the soul will be sealed in the tree forever. This sorcery has appeared in ancient sacrifices. It is said that Daji likes to drink this kind of wine the most. "

Chaozi spat on the ground and cursed: "I'll go, it's really fucking bad taste, and the feeling is this the earliest oak barrel red?"

"You can understand it this way. Blood and wine are the two most solemn liquids for ancient priests. It is understandable for someone to mix them together. Just now Zhuo Xiong was accidentally tricked. This tree already has the characteristics of Yin spirits. It should be Someone put it here on purpose."

Tang Yuanshan said: "Sacrifice? This is just a salt road. I haven't heard of any gods."

Cha Wenbin secretly pinched the paper money in the bag and said: "The sacrifice is not only for gods, but also for demons, or even a road."
