Chapter 22 Blood Pond Ancient Tree
In order to survive, Choi Joo-hyun showed great harmony. After we negotiated, we also let go of her hands and feet.
After simply passing through the clothes, she took us and put on the special white robe here, then carefully walked around the front guard post and came to the rockery next to a pool.
To the east of the rockery is a pool brought from Hanna Mountain, and not far from the west, there is a narrow gap.
Someone was on duty there. When he felt someone approaching, he immediately shouted alertly. The young lady acted very naturally. After responding, she mumbled for a while. At the end of "Simida", the man didn't say anything anymore and let us in.
I followed Choi Joo-hyun and Qu Pangsan and walked into the gap. After passing three heavy steel gates, a downward bluestone staircase appeared in front of me.
The steel gate looks very new, like a product of the past decade, while the bluestone steps are very old and covered with moss on it, which looks like it is a hundred years old, or even more old.
We walked slowly down the bluestone steps, and there was electricity here and there was light, but the wattage was not high and it was very dim.
Going further down, the lights disappeared, leaving only the leaping flames.
Qu Pangsan was obviously a little strange. After asking for a few questions, he nodded again after getting an explanation. He heard it and couldn't help asking, "What the hell is going on? What are you talking about?"
Qu Pangsan said I asked why I was uneasy and the electricity came down. She told me that it didn't like it.
Who did I say it is?
Qu Pangsan said that he was the evil god worshipped in their religion.
Choi Joo-hyun could obviously understand some Chinese. When he heard Qu Pangsan say the word "evil god", he hurriedly corrected: "It's not an evil god, it's the true god, the only true god."
She didn't know much about Chinese, and she was also a little bit like a stick when she said it, but she seemed quite persistent about this matter. She repeated it several times and added a few sentences in Korean.
After hearing this, Qu Pangsan turned around and said to me: "She told us, let us not evaluate their God at will, otherwise God will be angry and there will be bad things. When they come out, they will not only destroy us, but also destroy everything in front of us."
"Yeah, yeah, right."
Choi Joo-hyun nodded vigorously and said right, that's it.
There was an outsider next to me, and Qu Pangsan and I didn't communicate too much, but at this time, our eyes exchanged for a moment.
At this time, I actually figured it out a little.
Under the underground of this mysterious private villa in Hannashan, in addition to the Busan Shinto Church we are facing, there is something we need to face seriously.
That thing is the false god they believe in.
And from what Choi Joo-hyun meant, this pseudo-god is different from the Buddhas we believe in in the sky, and it is obviously very active.
We didn't have much worry about this. Just before we came to Jeju Island, we had a similar experience in Shaolin, Songshan. Master Shi Yongyi invited him, but it was also the power of the Buddha, but in the end we had to reach a reconciliation with Qu Pangsan.
So, when we really reach our level, our hearts are open and there is not much fear in anything in the world.
However, in order to stabilize Choi Joo Hyun's mood, we still acted very well.
Without talking, we slowly walked forward. The bluestone steps were very long. I don’t know how many levels I walked through, and finally came to a huge open cave. On the way, we did not encounter any guards, and we could not feel the breath of anyone around us.
Walking down the last step, looking at several open spaces as big as a football field, there were many stalagmites and stalactites scattered up and down in the middle, blocking their sight. Qu Pangsan narrowed his eyes.
He nagged Choi Joo-hyun for a few words, and the girl was shocked and kept shaking her head.
I was a little confused and asked what was going on.
Qu Pangsan said she didn't know where the person was, and said that she had brought us here and had fulfilled her promise, so she should be let go. As for the subsequent matters, it has nothing to do with her.
I sneered and said, "Where is such a good thing in the world?"
Choi Joo-hyun blushed and said excitedly: "Speak, don't count, puppy."
I said it’s not that I don’t keep my word. Think about it yourself, we came to save people. If we can’t find people, how can we let you go?
Choi Joo Hyun stammered, "They are not good, there is no way to save them."
What did I say?
She spoke Korean again, and when Qu Pangsan heard this, he said something very serious, and then said to me: "She said that the couples she sent were already from the True God, and no one could take them away, otherwise the True God would be angry. By that time, no one would survive."
I sneered and said, tell her, I have seen God before, I don’t care if I get angry? If something happens to the person I want to save, I will be really terrible.
This was translated by Qu Pangsan. Cui Zhuxian was so scared that she plopped and fell to the ground, with her hands constantly scratching something on her chest, as if begging for forgiveness.
Qu Pangsan shouted at her a few more times, acting very harshly, but the woman finally surrendered.
She stumbled and climbed up, then took us and walked towards the left.
After about three minutes of leaving, someone finally appeared in front of him.
These people not only wore white robes, but also had cross-like patterns on their faces. They did not come up to question us, but fell to the ground and kowtowed us, showing great respect.
We continued to move forward, and we met a few more people, all of whom were kneeling down and bowing to the ground without saying a word.
After meeting three times in a row, Qu Pangsan finally couldn't help it and asked Cui Zhuxian, but she didn't know and kept shaking her head.
Qu Pangsan gave me a color and asked me to watch the girl and tell her not to play tricks.
I nodded quietly.
After walking for a while, a bloody smell suddenly spread in front of me, swimming around me. I squinted my eyes and looked around and found that the cave here was much narrower and turned into a passage where only a few people could walk side by side. In front, there seemed to be a painful pleading sound, and a faint sound came.
In the long passage, there was no other light source except for the leaping flames coming far behind us.
Under such circumstances, the begging and crying sounds seem particularly terrifying.
We walked carefully. Not long after, we reached the end of the passage and saw a large pool of blood in front of us. There was no depth, and rolling bubbles continued to emerge on the surface. In the middle, there was a big tree similar to Metasequoia Ghost Locustum, which grew from the bottom of the pool with a well-developed root system, some were deeply planted in it, and some were hanging on the surface of the pool.
The tree was very big. Looking from me, it should have a diameter of more than ten meters, composed of several main trunks, and finally reached a place five meters above the water and combined into a trunk.
It is straight upward, with many branches, but at the top, it goes directly to the top of the cave.
Looking at the posture, it seemed that there was a long section of tree trunk above the top of the cave, which might even push out of the underground and spread to the surface.
The blood pool, the huge trees with dense branches, and the faint crying sounds around it make the atmosphere here very strange.
I listened with my ears and felt the source of the cry.
After a while, I finally determined the direction of the crying, which came from the pool of blood.
I told Qu Pangsan not to move, and slowly walked to the blood pool. I squinted my eyes and saw two heads on the undulating surface of the blood pool from the fire eyes.
Both heads are bald, and they are gone, but I can tell the gender from it.
One man, one woman.
Not only that, the two of them have Asian faces, very young, and a woman with an oval face. If she had hair, she would have been very beautiful. The man had a little habitual squinted, obviously she had worn glasses before.
They were floating in the blood pool, revealing their entire heads for a while, and covering most of the surging blood pool.
But no matter what, I could only see their heads. As for the other parts of their bodies, they were covered under the surface of the blood pool, and their crying seemed particularly pale and powerless, without any energy, as if they were crying from the soul.
I looked at it for a while, although it was not Lin You and Xiao Luqi, I was also sad. I turned around and wanted to confirm with Qu Pangsan to see if I could save the person.
And the moment I turned around, Qu Pangsan suddenly shouted: "Be careful!"
I felt a terrifying force suddenly attacking behind me, and subconsciously pounced forward and rolled on the spot. I felt a huge impact sound from where I was standing just now.
I flipped up from the ground, but saw a ferocious beast ten feet tall and covered in blood crawling out of the pool of blood. It looked a bit like a blind bear, but it was not that stupid, with muscles intertwined, with ferocious heads, red and crystal clear eyes, emitting a cruel and fierce light.
The ferocious beast hit the place where I was standing with a punch, gravel splattering, and at the same time, from the blood pool, there were seven or eight ferocious beasts that looked like it slowly crawled out.
The ferocious beast failed to hit, and roared and rushed towards me suddenly. At this moment, a fight broke out behind me.
I bounced my legs and jumped a little, but I saw a large amount of blood coming from all directions and finally landing on Cui Zhuxian not far away, rendering her whole body dazzlingly.
In an instant, she fought with Qu Pang San for a few moves, but she was not inferior at all.
