Reincarnation Train Restart [Unlimited]

The dragon-shaped sculptures are carved so realistically, dragon scales, dragon beards, dragon horns...every detail is carved in place.

So much so that when the flame of the lighter approached the circular hall for the first time, facing the glaring dragon eyes, Wu Xiajiu was almost taken aback.

"Could this be the place for sacrifice?" Soy Sauce asked doubtfully.

Wu Xiajiu held the lighter to look around, took a good look at the faint light of the flame, then shook his head, said: "It's not like, there are no items prepared for the sacrifice here, and the layout is very simple, only stone beds, corpses... ..."

The surrounding stone walls are also empty, including the passage they just entered, there are a total of five roads extending in all directions.

Furthermore, the number of corpses and stone beds cannot be matched, and one is obviously missing.

and……

Wu Xiajiu raised his head to look at the dragon-shaped stone sculpture whose whole body was firmly locked by iron chains, and said, "The numbers 'four' and 'seven' were very taboo among ancient priests."

"There is also the saying that there is no sacrifice every 'seventh', and you must avoid it every 'seventh' day."

"Even the sacrificial items cannot be counted as 'four' or 'seven', but there are seven stone beds here, although the corpse on it is missing one."

"But I guess, this place should be temporarily used to place sacrifices, the missing one is just not placed there yet."

"Monastery Master, you said the corpse above is a sacrificial offering?" Xiao Fang asked.

Wu Xia hummed for a long time, turned his head to look at Ah You, and said, "You said earlier that the Xun people were preparing to sacrifice to the river god. Does the word 'river god' mean the dragon?"

"I found that the relationship between the Xun people and the dragon seems to be very close."

"It can be seen from the totems of the Xun people, as well as the arrangement and preparation of sacrifices, etc., that the Xun people don't respect the river gods like dragons."

"The display here is obviously not a normal way of offering sacrifices, they are doing evil offerings."

Ah You: "Dragon was just a totem in the beginning of ancient times. Later, it was mythological. It has the ability to call wind and rain and manage waters."

"Floods in the Tianxuan Grand Canyon should have happened frequently in ancient times."

"The Xun people used to believe in dragons, and it was normal for them to worship dragons as totems and river gods to pray for peace."

"As for why they held such an evil sacrifice later, it may involve an unknown history of the Xun people."

Hearing this, Wu Xiajiu couldn't help but think of a part of the text that was crossed out on one of the bamboo slips.

He suddenly had an idea.

——Is the dragon totem of the Xun people a dragon with a tail missing from the beginning?

Wu Xiajiu raised his head and looked at the dragon-shaped sculpture locked by iron chains again. There was always a thought in his heart, but it was just a little bit...

At this moment, Ah You suddenly leaned over and blew out the lighter in Wu Xiajiu's hand, and at the same time gave a "shush".

The circular ancient hall immediately fell into darkness and silence, only the white cloth soaked in a lot of blood was a little more conspicuous in this hall.

Wu Xia didn't ask Ah You why he did this for a long time, because he also heard the sound of footsteps coming from one of the passages.

One step, two steps... are gradually approaching.

That doesn't appear to be a person.

Wu Xiajiu judged which passage the footsteps came from, and signaled Xiao Fang and Soy Sauce to back away slowly, away from the surrounding of the seven stone beds.

There is no place for them to hide in this circular ancient hall, so they can only leave through other passages after confirming the direction of the footsteps.

The footsteps became more and more obvious. Wu Xiajiu and others slowed down their breathing and listened intently.

At the same time, a little yellow light gradually emerged from a passage... It was reflected obliquely on the wall, flickering non-stop.

- there it is!

The footsteps and light came from the second passage to their left.

After confirming that they were correct, Wu Xiajiu hurriedly signaled them to leave the circular hall through the passage on the right.

The four turned around and walked quickly to the other side.

But no one noticed that the soy sauce seemed to fall inadvertently at the end, and when the elbow touched it, it knocked a corpse on a stone bed to one side.

The head, which was originally facing up, was knocked sideways to the left in an instant, and at the same time it was almost approaching the edge of the stone bed.

All this was done silently.

After the figures of the four quickly disappeared from one of the passages, two Xun people came out from the other passage.

One of the Xun people was still holding a white "thing" with blood on the outside-it was another corpse that had become a sacrifice.

Another Xun tribe held a torch for lighting in his hand and walked a little behind.

The Xun in front had a clear goal and walked straight to the vacant stone bed and placed the corpse on it. However, when he was about to get up and leave, another Xun grabbed his arm.

After he looked over, another Xun tribe had gloomy eyes, pointed at the crooked corpse, and said in a low voice, "It wasn't like this before. Some bugs came in, and it was those foreigners."

After hearing this, the Xun man whose arm was being pulled turned ugly and cold, and said: "Since they have come here, don't even think about going out."

"Let's go, tell the patriarch to go, the sacrifice will be ready immediately."

After all, the two Xun people did not go after Wu Xiajiu and the others, but turned around and left through another passage.

The dim yellow light of the torch gradually disappeared, and the sound of footsteps also disappeared.

The passage through which the two Xun people left was also on the right side of the circular hall.

Shortly after Wu Xiajiu and Ah You entered this passage, they encountered another fork in the road, and they chose a random direction to enter the passage.

After meeting the fork in the road for the second time, Wu Xiajiu and the others were no longer surprised, and chose another passage to enter.

However, at the end of this passage turned out to be a circular hall that they were all familiar with—the space was the same size and the layout was the same.

The surrounding stone walls, five passage openings, and the same seven stone beds in the center of the hall.

At the top is another dragon-shaped sculpture that is firmly locked by an iron chain and lacks a tail.

"I, did we turn back again?" Soy Sauce panted from behind because he walked too fast just now.

Wu Xiajiu shook his head: "No, this is another circular hall, the number of corpses on the stone bed is wrong, and this dragon-shaped stone sculpture is also slightly different from the other dragon-shaped sculpture."

Since it is artificially carved, even though they are all dragon-shaped stone carvings, it is impossible to make them exactly the same, making it impossible to distinguish them.

There will always be differences in it.

Furthermore, there are only three corpses on these seven stone beds, and the postures are also different.

Xiao Fang couldn't help looking closely at the corpse on one of the stone beds, and asked, "My Lord, how do you think the Xun people made these sacrifices from human beings?"

"The corpses have become like this, the way of sacrifice must be terrible."

Wu Xiajiu did not answer him, but held the lighter close to the dragon-shaped stone sculpture on the top, and looked up for a closer look.

Immediately afterwards, he frowned and murmured: "Do you think... there really are dragons here among the Xun people?"

Hearing this, Ah You turned his head.

Xiao Fang suddenly raised his head and looked at Wu Xiajiu.

Soy sauce couldn't help but stop.

Just at this moment, the lighter in Wu Xiajiu's hand went out.

After a while, in the dark and silent circular hall, the voice of soy sauce sounded, as if his voice was dry because of disbelief, he said: "Monastery Lord, how can there be a dragon here, it is impossible."

"Click" sound.

The lighter was ignited again, and a faint flame appeared, barely illuminating the surroundings. Wu Xiajiu's face was behind the flame, and his expression was unclear due to the constantly flickering light and shadow.

He slowly said, "Why is it impossible? Don't forget what kind of place this is."

This is the world under the car. Since it has nothing to do with reality, and is even more divorced from science and common cognition, why can't the Xun people have dragons, real dragons.

Soy Sauce swallowed, his eyes flickered, and he didn't speak any more.

At this time, Xiao Fang suddenly said: "Monastery Master, come and see me, my neck is so itchy."

Wu Xiajiu walked over immediately, and the light from the lighter gathered on Xiaofang's neck, immediately illuminating the fish scales protruding from under the collar.

His eyes changed slightly, and he said, "There are fish scales growing on your neck."

After the words fell, Soy Sauce's expression also changed.

Ah You said: "It seems that we are cursed much faster than the Xun people."

"If they want to treat us as sacrifices and sacrifice to the river god, they won't be able to wait until we are completely sick, and they will definitely pick an appropriate time to attack."

"Now it seems that if we continue at this speed, it is very likely that even if we have not left the room and entered the mountainside tonight, we will face the arrest of the Xun people."

Wu Xiajiu: "You mean, An Xing, Ye Zi and Swift may be in danger tonight?"

Ayou: "Yes."

Xiao Fangzheng stretched out a finger to touch the fish scales on his neck, clicked his tongue, and said, "The three of them are in danger, but we are also in danger now."

"No one is better than the other, so whether we can survive tonight depends on our own fortune."

As he spoke, he spread his hands, and said: "Let the three of them resign themselves to fate, and the four of us should think of a way, and man will conquer nature."

Wu Xia glanced at him for a long time and said, "Do you have any uncomfortable feelings now? For example, breathing difficulties, physical, intellectual aspects, etc.?"

Xiao Fang felt it carefully, then shook his head and said, "Everything is fine, except for some itching and pain at the place where the fish scales grow, there is no other discomfort for the time being, and it may take a while."

He said it easily, and he didn't seem to care much about the changes in himself.

Wu Xia said for a long time: "Let's go, leave here and go find Shengdan."

There is nothing left to see in this circular hall.

The four chose a passage and entered it.

When they encountered a fork in the road again, they randomly chose a passage to the right, but when they entered the passage and walked halfway, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming towards them from the front.
