activa-t Chapter 372 Blood!
Chapter 372 Blood!
The spiral staircase made of sarcophagi was even steeper than expected... and the sarcophagi were covered in a thick layer of dust! Stepping on it caused the dust to fall down.
The beam of a military flashlight split the darkness ahead.
The light illuminates the densely packed human skin thangkas on the wall.
The so-called human skin thangka is made by injecting mercury into the body of a living person to separate the flesh and bones, and then using a brush to paint Mahakala, Auspicious Mother, Charnel Ground Lord and other Zangmi gods and Buddhas on the removed human skin.
Hawkeye originally thought these portraits were quite realistic!
When he heard Liu Guoqing say that this thing was made of human skin...his face turned ashen!
I wish I could rush to the main tomb right now.
Open the tomb owner's coffin and mutilate his body!
After walking down for a few more minutes...he reached the Dantian area of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin stone statue, and Qin An frowned.
Seeing Qin An stopped and no longer walked down.
Gu Wuyan asked, "Ah Qin...what happened?"
Qin An looked down into the darkness. "Before, I thought it was just my imagination... I always felt that there was a smell of blood in here, but the further down I went, the stronger the smell became!"
Before Gu Wuyan could reply.
Liu Guoqing's trembling voice came from behind him: "These human skin thangkas have changed... They are no longer the various gods and Buddhas in Zangmi! Now they are scenes of taking skulls and offering their brains in a skull bowl!"
Ever since Liu Guoqing just said that these portraits are made of human skin.
The rest of the people lost interest and didn't dare to watch.
Only Liu Guoqing, who is good at Western culture, still insisted on watching it!
Therefore, he was the only one who discovered the abnormality!
"These human skin thangkas... should be recording the entire process of human sacrifice!" Liu Guoqing's voice trembled slightly.
The flashlight swept across a human skin thangka!
The child in the painting has lost his eyes and tongue, his ears have been pierced with two silver needles, and his skull is filled with feces...
"This damn Subi Kingdom! The sacrificial ceremony is so cruel?!" Hawkeye was shocked and angry.
Even Qin An's expression wasn't much better.
Just when Liu Guoqing was about to say something, Qin An suddenly heard the sound of water dripping from below.
tick-
The sound is very small.
At one point, Qin An thought it was just his illusion.
"Shh!"
But it is better to kill by mistake than to miss the opportunity.
Qin An asked everyone to shut up.
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, and even their breathing became lighter.
After a while.
A slight "tick" sound was heard again!
It's a bit like water dripping into an empty bucket, but with that sticky texture.
Now it’s certain that this can’t be an illusion!
Because basically everyone heard it!
Qin An slowly drew out the black gold ancient knife and signaled everyone to slow down and walk down. After a few minutes, everyone finally reached the feet of the stone statue where it was sitting cross-legged.
The flashlight beam probed to the bottom - it was a stone chamber about the size of a basketball court. In the center stood a bronze tripod half a person's height, with wisps of black air coming out of the mouth of the tripod.
The "tick-tick" sound came from the tripod.
On the surrounding stone walls, there were dozens of children's skulls inlaid. The inside of the skulls was hollowed out and a white bead was stuffed in.
The archaeological team jumped off the last sarcophagus.
Just got down to the ground.
Those dozens of white beads all emitted a milky white light.
"Ugh!" Meng Yu turned around and dry-heaved, wanting to vomit.
Jiang Liuli hurried over and patted her on the back.
"Is this a night-shining pearl?" Gu Wuyan asked.
Liu Guoqing shook his head. "This thing is called a Soul-Suppressing Pearl! It's made from the brains of living children. They carve the image of the Lord of the Cemetery into the child's skull to suppress the child's soul and prevent them from ever being reborn."
"The Soul-Calming Pearl, nurtured by the Brain Flower, is extremely spiritual! Once it senses human breath, it will emit light! This is considered an alternative night-shining pearl from the Western Regions..."
Qin An's eyes fell on the bronze tripod.
The bronze tripod was half filled with dark red liquid with a layer of grease floating on the surface. The "dripping" sound was the liquid dripping from the snake head on the side of the tripod and falling into the stone trough below.
Qin An used the tip of the knife to remove the layer of grease on top of the liquid.
All of a sudden!
A strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of herbs came out.
Qin An said in a deep voice: "It's blood! And it's fresh!"
After hearing these words, the other five people felt a chill in their hearts!
This Subi Kingdom Tomb has gone through thousands of years. Where does the fresh blood come from?
