summer market

"Then let's go." Tang Maiqiu didn't talk nonsense, he packed his backpack and was about to set off.Tang Maiqiu never dragged his feet when doing things, "Everyone must be careful." He warned, then he turned on the bright lights, and took the lead to open the way ahead.

Gu Fengchun felt that this cave was a bit familiar.Perhaps it was an illusion, he felt that this cave was very similar to the big cave he was in in western Sichuan.It's just that there are strange and varied stalagmites and stone bells there.The more he walked inside, the weirder Gu Fengchun felt, as if something was staring at him.In order to take care of him and Luo Xiaodan, Chen Si ordered Liu Ergen and others to keep the two of them in the middle, even if there was danger, these few people would stand by them.Gu Fengchun was very grateful to Chen Si.To be honest, he didn't have a deep friendship with Chen Si, but Chen Si had saved him many times, and he was even more unguarded against him, telling him many secrets.Although Chen Si himself has a purpose for him, the two are very consistent in their pursuit.Although Chen Si still hides many secrets from him, Gu Fengchun believes in this person from the bottom of his heart. For some reason, he always has a feeling of trust in his heart.

Gu Fengchun carefully looked at the cave.After walking for a while.He found that the stone walls of the cave were full of dark brown patterns, which were old, and he couldn't tell what those patterns were painted on, and these patterns were covered with a layer of thick smoke, which made it even more eye-catching. It's not clear what those images are anymore.Looking up at the top of the cave, the distance between the top of the cave and the ground gradually became lower.There was a gust of strong wind blowing head-on, whistling, and the cold wind made his face ache.Gu Fengchun concluded that there must be a vent in front, but he didn't know how far it would take to get there.

The rock composition of this mountain is obviously sedimentary rock, and the layers of precipitated rocks are clearly layered. Gu Fengchun can also see a lot of shellfish fossils vividly on the cave walls.Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was originally a vast ocean. After strong crustal movement, it became the roof of the world.

Luo Xiaodan also looked at the stone wall curiously, and she asked Gu Fengchun with great interest: "Feng Chun, where do you think that dirty graffiti on this stone wall came from?" Find out why.Although her family has been engaged in antiques for several generations, her eyesight is much inferior to Gu Fengchun.

Gu Fengchun shook his head and said: "I don't know. Looking at the color, it is likely to be painted with blood mixed with other things. As for the black smoke, it is mostly deliberately done to destroy the brown pattern. Maybe It has a lot to do with the Tantra of Tibet, isn’t it said that this place used to be a practice place for ascetic monks, maybe it’s what they left behind.”

"This is the soul-suppressing banner." A big man walking behind them said.He is a team member brought by Shan Zifeng, and he is a Mongolian.His name is Lang San, and he looks about 40 years old.Lang San has only one eye, wearing a blindfold like a pirate, he is gloomy and silent all day long in the team.Gu Fengchun's knowledge of him was limited to his name and his flawed facial features.

"Huh?" Gu Fengchun and Luo Xiaodan couldn't help looking back at him, Gu Fengchun's eyes lit up, and asked, "Soul-suppressing banner? Can you tell me?"

The big man nodded, squeezed to Gu Fengchun's side and said: "This is a shamanistic ritual. It is used to suppress the evil spirits of people who have committed serious crimes. I knew an old shaman when I was young. He told me this However, this ritual has been handed down in the Ordos Plateau and the Daxinganling area, and no one knows how to use it for hundreds of years. After the shamanism has declined in an all-round way, these things have long been lost. The old man who told me these words The shaman didn't understand this ceremony, but he said that anyone who committed such a crime must be punished by skinning, and if there is a human skin in the back, it must be a soul-suppressing banner."

Gu Fengchun gasped when he heard this.Shamanism, anyone who has studied the history of religion knows that shamanism is the most primitive religious belief.It is likely that it began to appear in the primitive society and has been constantly evolving. In our country, many ethnic groups have relative shamanistic rituals, and there are many.

When Luo Xiaodan heard about skinning, her scalp trembled, she frowned and said disgustedly: "It's so cruel, why are you skinning?"

Gu Fengchun shook his head and said: "Many religious ceremonies in the world are very cruel." Not to mention anything else, just take Tibetan Buddhism as an example. Before liberation, human sacrifices were used in some ceremonies. The instruments are still made of human bones, and the methods of extraction are even more cruel."

"It's disgusting, don't talk about it." Luo Xiaodan felt his internal organs tumbling, and the beef he ate just now was tumbling in his stomach.

Gu Fengchun laughed with a "hehe" and continued: "Don't worry, since the peaceful liberation of Tibet, these bad habits have basically disappeared. Except for those lawless guys in exile, no one wants to restore this barbaric and bloody system. Yes, socialism is good." Gu Fengchun's smile made Luo Xiaodan feel uncomfortable, especially the last sentence, no matter how Luo Xiaodan thinks of Gu Fengchun, he looks like a politician with both ends.

After turning a few turns, Tang Maiqiu suddenly let out a "huh" and said, "What's ahead?" A gray-black wall appeared in the beam of his strong light with a range of 500 meters.There are still some things scattered around the wall, but the distance is too far to see clearly. It seems that the distance is still seven to eight hundred meters deep.Chen Si's eyes were sharp, and he said, "That seems to be a door." After Chen Si finished speaking, the pace under his feet accelerated a lot.

Not to be outdone, Shan Zifeng followed closely beside him, so Tang Maiqiu, Chen Si, and Shan Zifeng all walked in front together in a row.All three of them were wearing long black windbreakers. The corners of the windbreakers fluttered in the bitter cold wind. Looking from behind, they looked like three mafia bosses traveling with a bit of momentum.

Seeing Chen Si, Gu Fengchun and the others quickened their pace, and chased after them in stride.When I walked to the end, I realized that there was really a door here.

When the group of people saw the gate, their expressions suddenly became weird, and everyone was alert.Because, there is a piece of bloody...human skin pasted on the gate.The human skin was peeled very neatly, almost every inch of skin was stripped from the whole body, a very complete piece of human skin.The blood on the human skin condensed into blood-red ice beads, and there was still a puddle of blood on the ground. It was obvious that this piece of human skin had just been peeled off.
