If it were a royal family, this altar would seem a bit too abrupt.

But if you are a clan leader or chief, this ever-burning lamp is a bit unreasonable.

I thought about it and looked at some of the artifacts in front of me, but I still had no clue.

My mind suddenly became chaotic, so I stopped thinking and directly asked my aunt about the situation of this tomb. After all, she had been here before and must have known something about it.

According to my aunt's recollection, she said that the tomb we were in was not a royal family, nor a clan leader, and most importantly, it was not a human tomb.

In other words, the people buried in such a luxurious tomb are not human beings!

When I heard that the people buried here were not human beings, my heart skipped a beat.

I thought that after digging this tomb and placing so many bright lanterns, the people buried were not human beings? Could they be "mythical beasts" or "unicorns"?

As expected, although this tomb is not for the burial of "divine beasts", the ones buried there are definitely not good ones either!

I heard my aunt talk about the structure of this tomb. There are nine ear chambers in this tomb and one main tomb chamber.

These nine wing chambers are all connected to the main tomb chamber, tightly wrapping the main tomb chamber in the middle to form a protective circle. Of course, it also means that the ninety-nine are united.

There are nine ear chambers, and each ear chamber contains a strange-looking creature with considerable lethality. It sounds like a creature, but in fact it is just a bunch of miscellaneous creatures.

There are nine tombs and nine altars, each of which sacrifices a kind of creature.

According to the thinking of the ancients, whether it is a human or an animal, after death, the soul will ascend.

As long as the dying body is sacrificed, the soul will have the opportunity to stay in the tomb forever and become the tomb guarding soul or the nourishment of the sacrificed person.

There are nine tombs and nine altars, which means that nine kinds of creatures were sacrificed.

These nine kinds of creatures seem to be in different tombs, but after being sacrificed, their ultimate goal is for the main tomb.

Moreover, my aunt also said that the main tomb chamber is actually an altar, but its scale and format are much larger than these side chambers.

To put it simply, what we entered was not a tomb, but a large-scale altar.

All the ear chambers lead to the main tomb chamber, which means that the souls of the dead are introduced into the main tomb chamber and become tomb guardian spirits or nutrients.

So who is in this main tomb?

So that nine different species are needed to support it?

I observed carefully that the structure of the altar in front of me was very complicated.

From a distance, you can only see a lonely cross.

But when you walk in, you can see a skeleton with its head cut off and kneeling on the ground.

Under the skeleton, there is a channel-like groove, only three fingers wide and about five centimeters deep.

This channel is very long, one leads into the wall, passes through the wall, and goes to the next unknown place.

I stared at this channel, and it looked like it was trying to lead some kind of liquid somewhere.

Then I told my aunt what I guessed.

Unexpectedly, my guess was absolutely correct!

My aunt said that the name of this channel is Yinxue Canal.

It is specially used to drain blood to other places.

She also said that the way of worship in this tomb was different from what she usually encounters.

Ordinary sacrifices are to sacrifice things or creatures that need to be sacrificed to protect yourself, your ancestors, your grandchildren, and your family.

But the way of this sacrifice is not like this. They will select a clean woman from among the women.

This body and blood are used as part of the sacrifice.

They let the "sacrifice" be cleaned first, in order to show their sincerity and innocence.

Then he will use a sharp knife, dip it in strong wine, raise and lower the knife to chop off the head of the "sacrifice"!

The blood will immediately spurt out, flow along the body, into the golden channel, and then into the main tomb chamber.

According to my aunt's description, beheading is a unique way of "opening a sacrifice"!

I didn't know what "opening the sacrifice" meant before, but I only learned about it after hearing my aunt tell me.

As the so-called "opening of sacrifice" is a form before the beginning of the sacrificial ceremony, only when this form is completed can the sacrifice truly begin.

Anyway, my understanding is that it is similar to the appetizers served during meals, except that it is a human sacrifice!

I looked at the head that had fallen on the corner of the altar. It was already a skull at this moment.

It can be seen from the flush blade that when he cut again, there was no pause or mercy at all. He cut through the mess with a quick knife and raised the knife with his hand, killing without blinking an eye!

Those two black eye holes looked in the direction of his body, looking so helpless and miserable.

Perhaps this woman was very frightened and despairing at that time, but there was nothing she could do. She could only let others slaughter her and watch her own head being separated.

Such cruel and inhumane sacrificial methods are not uncommon in the long history of history.

All because of some bullshit beliefs that cannot be seen or heard, they kill each other and act arrogantly!

As for what the main tomb is dedicated to?

My aunt didn't explain it clearly. According to her recollection, not long after she entered the main tomb chamber, she was fainted by an unknown smell.

When she woke up again, she had already been taken out by Zhang Tianyi. She didn't know what happened inside.

The only clear thing is that in the center of the main tomb, there is a blood-red golden nanmu coffin!

The color was as red as blood, as if a basin of blood had just been poured on it, and it also exuded a faint fishy smell.

My aunt said that the golden nanmu coffin was very strange. Not only had it not rotted after thousands of years, the color was also exceptionally bright, as if someone had been cleaning the coffin.

In the huge tomb, a blood-red coffin "stands" in the tomb. It's scary! Weird! Horrifying!!!

As for why I said "standing" instead of putting it down, it's because my aunt said that the coffin was hanging in mid-air, about one meter away from the ground.

There are iron chains on top, tightly wrapping the coffin so that it hangs steadily above the ground.

When I heard my aunt say that the coffin was hung, three words suddenly flashed in my mind.

"Hanging coffin burial"!

"Hanging coffin burial", as the name suggests, is a burial method in which the coffin is suspended in mid-air. It has two purposes. One is to isolate moisture, slow down the decay of the coffin, and protect the body.

Another thing is that the thing lying in the coffin is an evil thing, not a human being!

Because no matter in ancient times or today, people will be buried in the ground and use the method of burial.

It is hoped that the coffin will be in contact with the ground, so that the spirit of the deceased can be introduced into the ground.

Once the coffin is hung, it heralds an ominous sign.

There's either an evil thing inside, a freak, or there's a creature lying inside that doesn't belong to a human species.

Other than that, there is no other explanation.

While I was thinking about it, I heard an "Ouch" sound behind me. When I heard the movement, I quickly turned my head.

I saw the fat man covering his head and writhing in pain on the ground.

"Fat man!"

I yelled and hurried to the fat man, asking about his physical condition and checking his head.

After confirming that there were no injuries, I breathed a sigh of relief. The fat man screamed in pain a few times and lay on the ground breathing heavily. He was fine, just frightened.

Immediately afterwards, I asked him how he came and entered here.

The fat man didn't reply immediately. He shook his head, his face was very pale, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he looked very painful.

Seeing him like this, I didn't continue to ask questions. After waiting for a while, the fat man's face gradually returned to normal, and then he slowly opened his mouth.

It turned out that the fat man had to go to the toilet. When he was going to the toilet, a rabbit suddenly jumped out of the grass beside him.

The fat man was very playful, so of course he wanted to give us some game, so he set off to chase the rabbit.

Not caring about his lagging feet, he chased after her.

As he was limping and chasing, the fat man's eyes suddenly went dark and he couldn't see anything anymore. When he saw it again.

The fat man discovered that his body was no longer under control and was walking automatically like a machine.

As I suspected, the fat man is conscious and very awake, but he just can't control his body.

He could only rely on his remaining consciousness to control his body with difficulty, leaving us some important marks.

According to the fat man's description, he walked into the tomb through a bush. After entering the tomb, he met my aunt.

Originally, the fat man wanted to say hello, but his body was out of control and he wanted to speak. He found that he couldn't speak at all, and then he called my aunt directly.

In the end, I was knocked unconscious by a stone thrown down by me unintentionally.

The one in the back walked all the way into this ear room, fainted on the ground, and just woke up.

After listening to what the fat man said, he must have no idea what is in this tomb and what its structure is.

But it doesn't matter, as long as people are fine, the rest is a trivial matter.

Then the fat man stretched out his hand to me and asked me to help him up.

I helped him stand up tremblingly. The fat man was trembling all over, as if he would lose strength in the next second and fall to the ground.

I supported him, but to my surprise, within a few seconds of standing up, he shook me off. I thought he was fine and could walk normally.

But I never expected that after he shook me off, he immediately walked quickly to the lights.

Staring at the Everlasting Lantern with eyes full of wealth, it seems that at this moment, he has already thought about the happy life of selling the Everlasting Lantern.

Seeing his money-obsessed look, I was speechless for a moment and rolled my eyes at him, thinking that I wish I had known that the fat man was still like this.

I shouldn't have been so anxious to save him, which made me hallucinate. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became!

Thinking about it, the fat man became jealous. He rubbed his hands, swallowed, then took off the lantern and examined the patterns on it carefully.

When my aunt saw this, she yelled angrily:
Chapter completed!
