This isn't Aunt He hiding anything; it's the truth.
After all, Yunya County had previously proposed combining this religious story with tourism development due to related issues, but this was met with unanimous opposition from the Miao people.
The matter was eventually dropped because it no longer violated religious customs.
However, because this incident caused such a huge uproar, it became a taboo that many people remember as something untouchable.
However, it was precisely because of this that Song Mengmeng and her friends became increasingly interested in this so-called altar.
Unlike Hu Yue, who usually considers things carefully, Hu Da only went out once and when she came back, she already knew the location of the altar and how to enter it perfectly.
So the three of them didn't delay and quietly left the guesthouse under the cover of night, heading quickly towards the altar.
Given their current abilities, even without modern transportation, their speed is already imperceptible. Besides, the mountain path isn't suitable for any mode of transport; going directly there would be easier and more convenient.
In the hearts of the Miao people, Chi You is an inviolable and sacred ancestor.
However, after seeing the statue of the witch god at the entrance of the altar, Song Mengmeng immediately noticed the strangeness and something was wrong with the sculpture.
This pitch-black blob looks a bit like a bird, but it also has the shape of an animal, and its feet have coiled scales like a snake...
It doesn't look like any specific animal; rather, it's like a hodgepodge of things, indistinguishable from one another...
This thing... is it the Witch God?!
Song Mengmeng blinked. Based on her understanding of the Chi You story, if this thing could also be revered as a deity and offered on an altar, then…
Even the great god Chi You could be so enraged that he would disregard the seal and come back to life.
"Inheritance is not absolute."
Seeing Song Mengmeng standing in front of the statue with a shocked expression and trembling pupils, the Yama Emperor had long since come to terms with it. He calmly reassured Song Mengmeng, who was on the verge of exploding at any moment: "The most likely way those guys would do to obtain a suitable body is through these mystical actions."
For example, they might use the concept of deities to satisfy their bizarre needs.
Imagine if we added practices like divine sacrifice; wouldn't those acts of possessing another's body, which would normally be rejected, become understandable?!
Yes, if someone is possessed by a ghost, everyone will want to kill them, but what if it's a divine intervention...?
Wouldn't that make it a highly sought-after commodity that everyone would be vying for?!
Those bastards, they really know how to come up with ideas!
"Let's go in and take a look."
Hu Da's expression was also not good. She pursed her lips and walked into the altar first.
The altar was built inside a cave not far from Yunya County.
Perhaps because things are not as elaborate as they used to be, except during sacrificial ceremonies, the entrance to the cave is simply fenced off.
However, such obstruction is actually not a significant obstacle for Song Mengmeng and her friends.
The three of them easily broke through the iron gate and entered the cave.
Many of these stalactite caves are narrow at the entrance but have a very large interior space.
Although there was no lighting and the cave was completely dark, the three people present all had good night vision, so there was no need for the unnecessary and attention-grabbing act of lighting a lamp.
After walking about fifty meters, the space suddenly became spacious and bright.
A cold, damp wind blew from somewhere underground, carrying an undeniable chill. Looking at the empty hall before them, roughly the size of half the main stadium, the three of them stopped in their tracks.
Hu Da casually snapped her fingers, and fluorescent lights, seemingly appearing from nowhere, gathered from all directions, gradually forming a light source above their heads, illuminating the entire empty hall until nothing could hide from them.
This appears to be the altar that the Miao people here worship and revere.
The ground around the cave had clearly been leveled, with neatly arranged straw mats for people to kowtow and kneel in worship. And in the center, as expected, was the so-called shaman statue, which was almost identical to the one at the cave entrance.
Because there's a light source now, that thing looks clearer, and of course, even more disgusting!
The thing shrouded in black mist, whose true form was obscured, was simply a jumble of things, grotesque and terrifying!
“Since they have no physical form, it's not entirely wrong for this to replace them.” Hu Da frowned; if she wasn't mistaken, there was even a fox tail inside…
That's really true...
"Um?!"
Song Mengmeng took two steps, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at the cave entrance.
If she wasn't mistaken, though the feeling was faint, it couldn't be wrong! If she wasn't mistaken, then there was definitely something deep inside the cave!
Evil spirits!
"Let's go in and take a look."
If someone else had pointed out the problem, Hu Da and the others might have questioned it, but this time it was Song Mengmeng who pointed out the problem.
As the nemesis of all evil spirits in the world, no one would doubt her keen perception of evil spirits.
The three of them kept walking and headed toward a narrow passage leading deeper into the area.
It is obvious that the so-called believers usually only go from the entrance to this courtyard, and not many people have been through this narrow passage. So it is clear that the path inside is narrow, rugged, and very difficult to walk on.
