Chapter 153 Sleepy Bug (10)

Holding a lighter, Brother Wei and I began to check the situation in this 'mansion'.

I thought this should be a private house of a big family in the ancient city, but Wei Ge and I took a look at it, only to find that the middle of the room was empty, and the walls around the four sides were very thick, and square objects were pulled out Holes, in each storage hole, there is a pot-bellied clay pot, made of clay, placed firmly in it, and I don't know what it contains.

I held up the lighter and looked in subconsciously, only to see that the mouth of the can was sealed with clay.

The house is bigger than I imagined. Walking along the wall, I didn’t reach the end for a long time. There are several rows of densely packed and neatly arranged clay pots on both sides, which makes me wonder if this is some kind of warehouse.

When we walked to the end, there was a huge statue standing at the end. It was none other than Shi'er Bodhisattva, holding a flower finger in one hand, with a round boy's head on the fingertip, which made people feel hairy.

There is still a wooden confession case in front of the statue. After so long, it is still not rotten or rotted. It is placed firmly, but there is a thick layer of dust on the surface, and there are some dishes on it.

I took a closer look, couldn't help but hissed, picked up one of the tall plates, wiped the dust off the surface, and couldn't help saying: "Brother Wei, look, this seems to be made of pure gold?"

Brother Wei glanced at it and said, "I don't understand." That's right, he grew up in the mountains and didn't have much chance to touch things like gold and silver, so naturally he didn't know how to read them.

But I held this thing in my hand, weighed it, and looked at the color, and the more I looked at it, the more it seemed real.

My first reaction was to estimate the grams, and by the way, I recalled the recent gold price trend, and then I thought of the ancient bronze mirror.

As soon as I thought of it, any thoughts of my greed for money were immediately extinguished, and I thought: Forget it, the ghost knows whether this golden plate, like the ancient mirror, was disturbed by that mysterious force.

That ancient mirror is already evil enough, I don't want to bring out another evil thing.

Thinking of this, I put down the golden plate.

At this time, Brother Wei suddenly said: "There are rooms on both sides." He pointed to the left and right sides, that is, the two walls on the left and right behind the statue. There is a relatively small arch on both sides, but only the door frame.

I said: "You left and I right, see if there is an exit." Brother Wei nodded, and we both held the lighters, he went to the left, I went to the right, and each entered the side rooms on both sides.

After entering, I found that the room was relatively small, and there was nothing else in it, and it was also a pot-bellied clay pot.

However, these clay pots were not placed in the storage holes, but stacked on the ground, one inside another, overlapping very high, almost filling most of the room.

Visually inspecting this small room, there are about a hundred clay pots, all of which are unused, and there is nothing else, so I walked out.

When we were going out, Brother Wei also came out, and when he came out, his expression was a bit unsightly. As soon as the two met, he asked me: "Is there a place where you put clay pots?"

I was a little surprised, and said: "Yeah, what's the matter? Your side is full of clay pots too?"

Brother Wei shook his head and said, "No, my side is..." He didn't seem to know what to say, so he tugged at me and said, "You'll know when you come and see."

I followed Brother Wei into the room on the left and saw a table with many things on it.

There are bronze wares, gold and silver wares, the silver wares have been oxidized and blackened, and the gold wares are well preserved. There are many copper flowers on the bronze wares, and they are all in the shape of small tools, such as knives, axes, scissors, and stabs. I don't know what it is for.

Other than that, there's nothing else about this place.

However, the three walls here are full of clear reliefs. After Wei Ge walked in, he motioned for me to look at those reliefs.

These reliefs are very finely carved, so the content expressed above is also clear at a glance. After reading it, I just feel my scalp go numb.

Now, I finally know what the tools on the table are for, and those tools are all used to dissect children!

Some of the content on the reliefs are about worshiping and offering sacrifices, some are about dissecting children, and the last one is about putting children into jars.

It's those clay pots we saw outside!

I couldn't help spit out two words: "Sacrifice..." This ancient city used to have the custom of offering sacrifices to children, and the object of the sacrifice was the Children-eating Bodhisattva.

The female Bodhisattva only eats the boy's head, so before the sacrifice, the sacrificial object is first stabbed to death with an awl, then the head is cut off, and the head is enshrined, and the body under the body is placed in a pottery pot. , and then deal with it uniformly.

And the place we are in at the moment is not a private house, but a sacrificial place, which is equivalent to the mourning hall shared by the countryside in the past.

The clay pots in the room on the right are all spares, and the left, which is where we are now, are used as sacrifices.

I looked at the tools on the table, and felt the surrounding air was very cold. These tools were all murder weapons. Thousands of years ago, I don’t know how many children’s heads were cut off.

Which country did this ancient city belong to at that time, and how could there be such a terrible sacrifice?

Why do you want to worship a Shier Bodhisattva?

Except for two side rooms and a main hall outside, we found no other exits.

Before, I guessed that the reason why this place was so dark was because the windows were closed. Now I searched around, only to find that there are no extra doors and windows in this place except the main entrance.

In other words, it is completely sealed, and no sunlight can penetrate at all.

When I think of this dark and gloomy place, there are densely packed children's corpses, or headless corpses, it feels so weird. For a while, the air seems to be filled with the smell of corpses.

Brother Wei said, "If all the jars are filled with corpses, where are those heads?"

I said: "At this time, you still have the mood to care about those heads? Let's think about how we can get out." Brother Wei began to tap on the surrounding walls slowly, pondering; "After all, this place has been around for a long time. It’s an earthen house again, it’s not strong, maybe we can make a passage to get out.”

I said: "But we don't have tools, and the sound of smashing the passage may attract sleepy people."

As soon as I finished speaking, a thought flashed in my mind: wouldn't it be better to lead the sleepy people to this side of the house?When they arrive at the house, we can slip out through the front door instead.

It doesn't matter whether the hole can be smashed out, the important thing is to make some movement here to lure the sleepy bugs to the back of the house.

As soon as he told Brother Wei about his thoughts, Brother Wei immediately agreed, saying that the tools are simple, and the table next to him is ready-made.
