Chapter 295 Mural, Twins
It was already dark, and if they didn't walk through this section of the road as quickly as possible, they would have to sleep outdoors on the edge of the cliff, which was also very dangerous.
Zhuang Xun couldn't bear it, so he stayed on that section of the road to support those people.
However, an accident still happened late at night.
A large man missed a step and subconsciously tried to grab the female office worker next to him. His huge body knocked the female office worker down.
Zhuang Xun saw that it was not good, and jumped down to save her without hesitation.
Fortunately, the lady fell on a protruding platform. She was fine, but she was completely exhausted and could no longer climb on her own.
It was too dangerous to carry out a rescue operation in the dark night, and everyone was exhausted, so it was better to rest for a night and think of a solution in the morning.
Zhuang Xun still had dry food and water with him, so he simply stayed on the platform with the girl.
In the middle of the night, Zhuang Xun was awakened by a strange movement.
He looked and found that the sound came from the mountain wall behind him.
The female office worker was very tired and slept very deeply, with no sign of waking up.
Zhuang Xun left all the food in the package behind, climbed the steep cliff for a while, and saw a hole on the mountain wall, which was blocked by trees.
He entered the cave, and the further he went inside, the more he found that the cave was incredibly large.
He found traces of human activities and sacrifices in the cave, and there were murals on the cave walls, which looked very old.
This was obviously a place where the ancients worshipped some mysterious religious activities.
"But this is not surprising. The ancients climbed the steep mountains in the environment at that time, which must have been accompanied by countless dangers. There must be religious beliefs on the Ancient Tea Horse Road." Li Wenhe said.
Zhuang Xun: "We have seen various religious totems along the way, which is indeed not surprising, but those murals are very weird."
He enlarged the photo in his mobile phone and handed it to Mingzhuo.
"The murals have a lot of content, and it is very dark inside, so it is not easy to take pictures. The location of this mural happened to have moonlight shining in, so I could take a picture."
The people in the murals were dressed exquisitely and elegantly, and it can be seen that they were nobles from an ancient country.
In the mural, a noblewoman gave birth to twins, and everyone was surprised and terrified. The next scene was when the two children grew up to three years old, and their father handed each child a knife. In the third scene, one of the children stabbed the other child in the chest with a knife. The last scene was a family of three happily eating minced meat.
The people in the painting were painted vividly, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.
But from another angle, that smile was indescribably weird and evil.
He Wangyao was stunned: "The other child just died like that?"
Zhuang Xun: "This ancient country seems to think that twins are a bad sign, saying that the devil will possess one of the children and come to wreak havoc on the world. But at the same time, the other child may be a saint, so they are happy and afraid."
Ming Zhuo: "Ridiculous, in ancient times it was because of the low economic level and it was difficult to raise twins, so people thought it was a bad omen. This is all superstition."
Zhuang Xun of course didn't believe it. He calmed down a little and said in a nervous voice: "Didn't you find that there was something wrong with the minced meat they ate?"
After being reminded by him, He Wangyao quickly enlarged the mural to take a closer look.
Only then did they discover that the dead child's body was carried and thrown into a large cauldron, and the minced meat that the family ate at the end was exactly what the servants scooped out from the cauldron.
Across the screen, several people felt a chill down their spines.
Zhuang Xun also almost vomited at the time. He felt the evil of the murals more intuitively than anyone else. After a thousand years, it seemed as if the scenes were really being played out in front of him.
"In order to distinguish who is the holy child and who is the devil, they would soak the dagger in holy water for 49 days and let the two children fight. The one that can be killed by the holy water must be the devil." "
And the devil's body cooked with holy water has the effect of prolonging life."
Ming Zhuo listened expressionlessly, and suddenly turned his back and couldn't help but vomiting.
Gu Xu was startled and hurried over to pat her on the back and hand her a cup of water.
Li Wenhe was a step late. He stood by and watched for a while. He felt relieved when he found that Mingzhuo was just vomiting.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but sneer, "Your psychological endurance can't be so weak, right?"
Others also reacted. Was Mingzhuo disgusted?
How strange, I thought this person could do anything!
He Wangyao quickly raised his feet and walked over quickly: "Is it true? Let me see, let me see."
Mingzhuo thought to himself, he was itchy, he actually dared to make fun of me, before he opened his mouth, he heard Gu Xu's faint voice beside him, "Say it again?"
He Wangyao braked in time, his heart skipped a beat. Although he was naughty, he knew how to grasp the boundaries.
He quickly said with an innocent look, "I think the boss is not feeling well and needs to drink more water. And Brother Zhuang, you are going too far. How can you keep saying such disgusting things!"
Zhuang Xun: "..."
No, what did I do wrong!
Ming Zhuo drank a few sips of water and barely suppressed the churning feeling in her stomach.
She looked at Gu Xu several times. Gu Xu thought she had something to say and walked over, "What's wrong?"
Ming Zhuo: "No, I just want to look at you a few more times to purify my mind and eyes. Ah Xu, you are really a treasure to ward off evil spirits!" Gu
Xu: "..."
Zhuang Xun was stunned and thought to himself, is this the type of idol he is in private?
However, these words sound like teasing, and it's hard not to associate it with that!
He looked at Gu Xu again, picked up the water cup and took a sip, blocking his sight.
If Ming Zhuo was flirting with Gu Xu, for some reason, he felt that all his actions were reasonable.
Gu Xu felt helpless, he knew that Ming Zhuo meant it literally and did not imply anything, but he still felt uncomfortable being looked at.
Fortunately, Ming Zhuo had calmed down, "It's okay, just a small scene, go on."
Zhuang Xun was stunned for a moment, then hurried on.
This mysterious religion, in addition to brainwashing its followers with evil stories, has another secret.
They believe that the land beneath their feet breeds sin and that human greed is endless. If a god from another world descends, he will bring the fire of karma from the sky to burn the sin on this land into ashes.
The world will return to chaos, and under the guidance of the alien god, a higher civilization will be rebuilt, bringing a brand new world to mankind.
Ming Zhuo propped his chin up with his hand, "I said, after all the evil people have been here for a long time, they still come back to save the world and destroy the world. In the final analysis, they just want to rule the world, why are they pretending to be so powerful?
" Taoist Tingyun sighed, "Teacher Ruan, you may not know that Xuanmen had already predicted a catastrophe a hundred years ago."
Ming Zhuo had some impression, "At the academic exchange conference last year, when the S-level missions were issued, the elder Bai seemed to have mentioned it during the meeting."
"The four elders requested to open up the S-level missions because the catastrophe is imminent and they need to quickly train talents." Taoist Tingyun said.
