Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 285 The secret method of witchcraft
Because these three heads have been soaked in the soup for a long time, and the cave is damp, they have almost rotted into lumps of rotten flesh, sticking to the bottom of the tank.

Three huge skulls are displayed in a chaotic manner.

Chen Erwa just glanced at it, and a sour smell hit his face, and he almost vomited on the spot.

He quickly covered his mouth and ran to the side to vomit.

Lin Yi had seen this kind of scene a lot, so he first took a look at the fineness of the clay pot.

It is simple and unpretentious, and is a large-scale civilian utensil fired. It should be dated to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, not to the Kangxi and Yong dynasties at the latest.

This timeline coincides with the existence of the "Daxi Dynasty".

But this habit of cooking and eating human heads as sacrificial objects was originally the way Yin Shang treated Qiang people.

Among the cultural relics unearthed from the Yin Ruins, there are food utensils for cooking human heads.

Moreover, at that time, the use of human sacrifices was already considered a very normal and traditional way of worship. It was not only used by the rulers, but was even imitated by the people.

As the descendants of Dong Qiang, it is normal for the Dong Yi people to have this kind of sacrificial behavior.

Moreover, according to historical records, in the history of China, the record of "thousands of miles of red land, starvation everywhere, and people eating each other" was the Ming Dynasty, which appeared 25 times.

The number of peasant uprisings in the Ming Dynasty was second only to the Song and Tang dynasties.

Even if the boiled human head in this jar is not used for sacrifice, it can be used as food.

At least from this, it can be inferred that no one has set foot in this cave for more than 200 years.

The good news is that no one has touched anything in here, and it's probably still lying untouched somewhere.

The bad news is that this is the altar of the Eastern Yi people. The witchcraft of the Eastern Yi people is very famous. Maybe there is something like a curse here.

Moreover, no one has set foot in it for so long, which may mean that this cave has no exit at all.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi sighed lightly, and put the lid on the pot.

Turn on the flashlight and look around the shallows.

Chen Erwa's adjustment was almost done, and she quickly moved to Lin Yi's side, held up the flashlight together with him, and looked at the surrounding environment.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but this look scared him so much that he almost sat down on the ground.

Around this shoal, there is a circle of wrist-thick wooden stakes inserted.

On each wooden stake was a naked mummy.

These corpses had their hands tied behind their backs, their feet were firmly fixed with hemp ropes, and wooden stakes were driven from between their legs to their throats.

Finally out of the mouth.

Each one maintains the same posture.

The body's belly had been cut open, and its internal organs and key parts were missing.

There were also three corpses whose heads were missing.

It must be their heads that are steamed in this clay pot.

"My god, what a hell, this place is too evil. Brother Lin, we'd better not stay here, let's go!"

Chen Erwa has been behind Lin Yi, urging him to leave this place quickly.

Lin Yi took out a piece of rag cut from the diving suit and used it as a face towel to cover his mouth and nose. He reached into his bag with one hand, held a black donkey's hoof, and held a knife across the other hand, and walked up to the mummies.

Turn on the flashlight and prepare to find some useful information on these corpses.

When he got closer and observed, he discovered that these mummified corpses were not directly nailed to death with wooden stakes.

Judging from the traces on the stakes and the fineness of these mummies, they survived for a while after being nailed to the stakes.

In some mummified corpses, it can still be seen that after the muscle fibers on the body are cut, there are still body tissues trying to heal the wound.

This kind of cruel punishment, which can be called "cutting alive", seems to have broken away from the scope of sacrifice.

It's just that the identities of these mummy can't be determined at all now.

Was it the men of the "Daxi King" who forcibly occupied the sacred place of worship of the Dongyi people and made these Dongyi people into human beings?

Or are they people who mistakenly think that this is a land without an owner, and they can't understand the Eastern Yi language, so they bite the bullet and break in?In the end it became the rations of the Dongyi people?
So, what is the explanation for this carefully constructed underwater secret tunnel?

In other words, a tacit understanding or agreement has been reached between the two of them long ago. These people who are made into human beings do not belong to either of them, but Zhang Xianzhong used the sacred place of worship of the East Yi people, so he sent these people to The leader of the Eastern Yi nationality as a tribute?
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel chills running down his back.

Chen Erwa over there stood far away, not daring to come over to face these mummies at all.

He kept waving at Lin Yi, signaling him to leave quickly and stop dealing with these mummies.

Lin Yi observed for a long time and did not find any valuable information.

Everything above is based on his guesses.

Now they are in the stage of losing contact with the outside world, time is very important to them, and they need to find what they are looking for as soon as possible.

If it doesn't work, you have to find an exit first and then make plans.

Lin Yi stood up and was about to join Chen Erwa, but found that Chen Erwa, who was standing there just now, had disappeared.

What disappeared with him was the light of the strong flashlight he held in his hand.

Almost as soon as he lowered his head and raised his head again, a living person just disappeared.

"Er Wazi! Er Wazi!"

Lin Yi shouted twice, but Chen Erwa didn't respond.

Only his own voice floated back and forth in the empty shallows.

At the same time, Lin Yi's ears suddenly heard vibrations and friction of iron chains.

"Boom ~ Boom~~"

At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of rushing water, echoing in this empty space.

The light in Lin Yi's hand suddenly shone on the water, and the sound stopped immediately.

Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of noise behind him.

"Crack~Crack~~"

There was another movement of the wooden wedge shaking, which also reached his ears.

Lin Yi suddenly turned the light behind him, shining on the mummies nailed to the wooden stakes, and the sound immediately stopped.

The sound of iron chains in the water appeared in his ears again.

When his light came back this time, the human skeletons on the chains had already crawled to the shore with their claws and teeth.

He was crawling towards Lin Yi's position.

The mummies that were nailed to the wooden stakes behind them suddenly became alive. One by one, they climbed along the wooden stakes to the top, landed on all fours, and surrounded Lin Yi with various strange postures.

These things didn't bother him at all.

The shamanism tradition of the Eastern Yi people is closely related to the shamanism culture of the Central Plains.

Moreover, in the "October Sky Calendar" they use, male and female refer to yin and yang, and there are many theories of yin and yang in the five elements.

So Lin Yi didn't panic at all when he saw the scene in front of him.

This kind of witchcraft is called "Spiritual Confusion". It is not a clever witchcraft. As long as a living creature touches a certain medium set by the caster, it will be triggered.

It is not difficult for Lin Yi to break this witchcraft.

But the difficulty before him now is, where has Chen Erwa gone?

Is there more than one kind of witchcraft being practiced here?
