The bell sounded like thunder, and it rang in the tunnel not far above our heads, making my ears buzz.
I knew in my heart that it must be the bell just now, but I didn't expect it to be in a place like this.
However, the sound of the bell at this moment no longer has any solemnity and vastness, giving people only a sense of twilight.
This sound is very much like the legendary death knell.
This time, the bell rang a full nine times, and then stopped after nine times.
As the bells ended, Grandpa Xiao Qin's voice suddenly came from not far away.
"kneel!"
His voice was very long, resounding throughout the valley, with a certain unique rhythm, as if he was singing.
I suspect that this may really be some kind of weird sacrifice.
Although I have never seen a sacrificial scene, after all, everything in front of me is really in line with the records of sacrificial rituals.
If this is true, then the secret of longevity village should be revealed soon.
As Grandpa Xiao Qin's voice fell, the villagers immediately knelt down in unison, and they knelt down in a kneeling manner with all five bodies on the ground.
Under the firelight, I could see the expressions of obsession on their faces.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Grandpa Xiao Qin shouting: "The reincarnation of Jiazi, the one who turns it comes forward!"
Immediately, I saw several villagers, probably a dozen or so, stepping forward, including Qin Han.
Although I don't understand what Xiao Qin means, I know that Jiazi happens once every sixty years, which is also a great reincarnation between Yin and Yang.
Thinking of this, I opened my eyes, and suddenly a line of thought became clearer and clearer.
After the cycle of reincarnation, are these villagers going to die?
As soon as this idea came up, I immediately rejected it because it was really unbelievable. If they were really dead, how could they live forever?
I didn't make any changes, and I continued to observe patiently, wanting to see what would happen next.
At this time, Xiao Qin's grandfather shouted again: "Sacrifice!"
Among the several villagers, one suddenly walked out and walked towards us. Then I saw him pick up a wooden barrel and then return to the place where he was just now.
The villager suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the iron nail that had just been sealed, and pulled out the iron nail with a strong force.
I couldn't help but be stunned by this scene, and my jaw almost dropped to the ground.
I knew these villagers were strong, but I didn't expect them to be so strong. They could pull out iron nails with their bare hands. Doesn't that mean they could tear apart jackals, tigers, and leopards with their bare hands?
This scene gave me chills down my back.
Hu Qiu naturally saw this scene outside, and his breathing became rapid due to nervousness.
After the lid of the barrel was removed, a familiar head was revealed inside. It was the man in camouflage clothes who fought with me before.
There was still an expression of obsession on his face, as if he could attain immortality at any time.
I know I'm still in the hallucination and can't extricate myself.
But I have no sympathy for this kind of people. Just die if you want to. It has nothing to do with me. Anyway, these people are not good at all. Sooner or later they will die miserably by licking blood from the knife edge. This is their destined life.
What I'm more curious about is, what will happen next?
Soon, an exciting picture appeared.
At this time, he saw the villager pull out a short sword from his waist. The shape of the sword was a bit primitive, and it looked like an ancient bronze sword.
Damn it!
Is this village so rich? Bronze wares can be easily produced.
Before I could think about it, the villager had already pointed the bronze dagger in his hand at the chest of the man in camouflage clothing, and then inserted it into the chest of the big man in camouflage clothing.
Hu Qiu, who was next to me, tensed up and quickly covered his mouth with his hands. He turned his head and buried his head in my chest, not daring to look any further.
Let alone him, even I couldn't help but feel frightened.
It was not because I was scared by the bloody scene in front of me, but because the expressions on the villagers' faces shocked me.
It's really too ruthless and indifferent.
This is an expression of complete disregard for life, as if you are killing a chicken or dog. It is this expression that makes people shudder.
How many people did he kill to become so numb?
The sharpness of the bronze sword was beyond my imagination. When it pierced the big man's chest, there was no sense of frustration at all. It was as if it was inserted into tofu, from the front and out from behind.
The severe pain caused an expression of pain to appear on the face of the man in camouflage uniforms. The intoxicated look on his face faded little by little. Then he opened his eyes and his vision returned to clarity.
Feeling the source of pain, he lowered his head and looked at his chest, his face instantly filled with disbelief.
But he had no strength to resist, and he would die quickly if his heart was penetrated. I watched helplessly as his pupils dilated little by little, and then he hung his head feebly.
When I thought it was all over, something blew down from above the two of them and floated above their heads.
Under the illumination of the torch, the thing looked like a budding flower, with purple-red leaves clearly visible at the end.
But this flower bone looks shocking because it is so big, one or two meters long.
Why do I always feel that this flower bone looks familiar? I seem to have seen it somewhere.
Just when I was puzzled, the flower flower opened slowly, like an open parasol or a huge loudspeaker.
As the flower bones opened little by little, the red petals inside were also exposed, which were bright red, as if they had been soaked in blood.
The most bizarre thing is that there is a human face in the middle of this huge flower.
When I saw this human face, I was shocked because this human face actually had two halves of a head, one half of which was blood red and the other half of which was light yellow!
This is……
I suddenly remembered what on earth this was.
There are records in our Zhang family's manuscripts, and they should be the notes left by our grandfather.
I remember it goes like this in the book, "Flowers bloom on the other side for sixty years, one yin and one yang reincarnation!"
This is actually the legendary flower of reincarnation!
But, isn’t this kind of flower extinct long ago? Why does it appear here?
Could it be that this is a place where yin and yang alternate, a place where life reincarnates? Is there really such a place in the world?
But only in this way can it be possible to give birth to the flower of the other side of samsara.
It is described in the records that the flower of Samsara can only grow in the place where yin and yang meet. It survives by sucking the energy of yin and yang, and it especially likes to suck blood.
Because it absorbs the energy of yin and yang, a stamen with two distinct colors will appear in the petals. Because it resembles a human cheek, it is called the sun and moon in the same robe.
As the saying goes, there is the sun and the moon in the flower, and they come and go again and again.
It’s this kind of flower that I’m talking about. The two kinds of stamens overlap each other and the yin and yang replace each other. It can twist the yin and yang and make the soul live forever!
