Chapter 405 Black Rain Country and new clues from Guchi Country
The thing about the human-faced ghost clay pot and the human-faced stink bug.
We have to start talking about it half a year ago.
The King of Yueqiang Kingdom asked the irrelevant people to leave, leaving only the three people he trusted the most, Jin'an, Kulijiang, and Gulizar, and began to talk about the reasons for everything with heavy eyes.
Half a year ago, a once-in-a-century sandstorm occurred in the desert. Many sand dunes were evacuated overnight. Not only did that night reveal the old site of the Black Rain Kingdom that had been swallowed by yellow sand for hundreds of years, there were also many strange things in the desert.
.
Such as drought.
For example, there are many murders and cannibalism related to demons in the desert.
Another example is the skinning tragedy that occurred in many places in the desert.
…
The fragments of clay pots with human faces that Jin'an saw under the sacrificial temple were those that had since drifted one after another from the upper reaches, flowed through the Yueqiang Kingdom along the underground river veins, and were then salvaged ashore by the sacrificial priests who guarded the water source.
He guessed correctly, these clay pots with human faces were indeed used for sacrifices, and the origin of these sacrifices was related to the Guchi Kingdom.
The Yueqiang Kingdom has some records about the ancient Guchi Kingdom thousands of years ago. Every year around December in the Guchi Kingdom is their sacrificial ceremony. The tribesmen collectively go to the holy mountain to worship the gods and ancestors buried in the holy mountain.
The sacrifices in the sacrificial ceremony were this kind of clay pots with human faces. The chest and abdomen of the slave were cut open alive, and the internal organs were removed and sealed in the clay pot while the heart was still beating. In order to prevent anyone from disturbing the holy mountain and stealing them
In order to offer sacrifices to the gods, these people of the Guchi Kingdom also came up with the insidious method of cultivating human-faced bugs in clay pots with human faces to guard the sacred mountains and sacrifices for them from generation to generation.
The refining method of this bug is very sinister. It tortures the slaves to despair and mental breakdown, and then cuts off the skin with a knife and attaches it to the bug's back. The high priest of Guchi Kingdom believes that the skin was peeled off at this time.
The expression on the human face is the most vicious and painful. The vicious face on the back of the bug can scare away all those who dare to enter the holy mountain.
However, the few pottery jars with human faces that drifted down the underground river to the Yueqiang Kingdom have all been broken, and the human-faced bugs inside and the human organs used as sacrifices are missing. Maybe they were in the fast underground river.
It must have been broken.
Since the human-faced clay pots were broken, only inconspicuous tattered clay pots were left. The Yueqiang Kingdom did not take these tattered clay pots seriously. The most important thing was that they did not expect the human-faced clay pots.
The human-faced bugs here are so evil that just one human-faced bug confuses the king and almost destroys the Yueqiang Kingdom.
Speaking of which, we have to go back to the original topic. Six months ago, a big change occurred in the desert. Not only did the Black Rain Kingdom briefly reappear on earth, but there were many legends about devils killing people and eating people in the desert. Even the desert had disappeared for thousands of years.
In the Corpse Hidden Ridge of Guchi State for a long time, many strange creatures such as the giant human-faced corpse cricket and the human-faced stink bug also appeared.
It seemed like a big sandstorm had blown many things in Corpse Ridge to all parts of the desert.
"December?"
Jin An thinks this is a very important clue.
Uncle Lin, the owner of the coffin shop, told him that the Holy Mountain of Guchi Kingdom was usually a mountain, but on the day of the annual sacrifice, it would turn into a sea in the desert, so it was also called the Holy Mountain of Sea Transformation.
December is the time for the sacrificial ceremony. Does this mean that only in December every year can you have a chance to see the sacred mountain of Guchi Kingdom?
Now he has grasped several important clues about the location of the ruins of Guchi Kingdom. In the deepest part of the desert, if you go south, there will be an opportunity in December.
Thinking of this, Jin An raised his head and looked at the King of Yueqiang Kingdom who was weakly lying on the bed to recuperate: "King, do you still remember the appearance of the mysterious desert traveler who met you?"
"Who are they and why do they want to give a complete clay pot with a human face to you, the king?"
Among the people present, only the king and Kulijiang had seen that group of people, but every time they recalled their memories of that day, they only had vague faces in their memories. They couldn't remember a single face, as if someone was talking to them.
Their memories were manipulated and they could not recall the specific circumstances of that day at all.
"Although I can't remember their appearance, I know their purpose, which is why I was eager to see Taoist Jin'an as soon as I woke up!" the king said seriously.
"In the six months since I held the clay pot with a human face, I was fascinated by the human-faced bug most of the time, but there were also times when I was awake. The reason why the clay pot with a human face didn't kill me was because it was waiting. Who was it waiting for?
I don't know either, because the one that Taoist Jin'an mentioned is called... the human-faced stink bug has the face of a woman on its back, and its spirit is very chaotic. It is a completely crazy lunatic. There is only despair and resentment in its eyes, but there are several things in her chaotic memory.
The 'Black Rain Country' was mentioned every time..."
When he said this, the king's face became even darker, and he said solemnly: "So I guess that the person who gave me the human-faced clay pot half a year ago is the devil who escaped from the Black Rain Kingdom and can make human faces."
The only demons on the backs of stink bugs that even women are afraid of are the four murderous demons from the Black Rain Kingdom."
The king suddenly changed the topic and looked at Kulijiang who was standing aside: "Kulijiang, do you still remember who the mysterious travelers in the desert were that I summoned half a year ago?"
He didn't expect that the king would suddenly ask him, but Kulijiang was just stunned and immediately replied: "Back to your majesty, there were many mysterious travelers in the desert at that time. Although I can't remember what they looked like, I remember
There were five people with the highest status among those people, and the king happened to summon them that day."
The king continued to ask with heavy eyes: "Kulijiang, do you still remember the 'Devil Story of Black Rain Country' that desert people grew up listening to?"
Kulijiang replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Apa Ata has been scaring me with the story of the 'Black Rain Country' since I was a child. Every time I am naughty, I, Apa Ata, will scare me with the story of the four devils of the Black Rain Country."
I am obedient. I, Kulijiang, have never been beaten by Apa Ata since I was a child, and I have never heard stories about the four devils of Black Rain Kingdom since I was a child."
"There are four major devils in the Black Rain Kingdom: a mad woman who believes that eating young men and women can slow down aging, an old madman who mummified himself, a devil who likes to defraud children's pure souls from their parents, and a self-proclaimed
He is the most vicious national master of the Black Rain Kingdom who comes from the Kingdom of the Immortal God, masters the secret art of immortality, and likes to peel off human skins to refine the elixir of immortality."
When he said this, the people in Kulijiang were stunned and said: "Your Majesty, you are suspicious..."
Kulijiang's face looked very ugly at this time.
No matter who it is, they will not be calm and calm when they discover that the horror stories they have heard since childhood have become true one day, and that the devil from hundreds of years ago is around them.
Even Princess Gulizal, who was accompanying the king's bedside and holding the king's hand, was so frightened that she subconsciously clutched her father's hand tightly.
Jin An pondered, he finally understood what the king meant, and it was no wonder that the king of the Yueqiang Kingdom in front of him would suspect the four devils of the Black Rain Kingdom, because there were too many coincidences.
At this time, the king's brows were tightly knitted into the Chinese character "Sichuan": "But there is one thing I have never been able to figure out. Why are the four devils who escaped from the ruins of the Black Rain Kingdom targeting our Yueqiang Kingdom in so many desert countries?
?Is it because of those clay pots with human faces that drifted past my country, Yueqiang?"
At this time, Jin An said with cold eyes: "Perhaps those human-faced clay pots are just one of the reasons. Through some means, they learned that Yueqiang Kingdom had salvaged many human-faced clay pots, so they wanted to get more human-faced clay pots.
Stink bug."
"But I think their biggest purpose is the second reason. They want to slowly control the king, and then skin the people of the country again to refine the elixir of immortality."
What!
this……
The three people present were so shocked by Jin An's conjecture that the backs of their heads felt numb and goosebumps stood up all over their bodies.
For those who grew up hearing stories about the Black Rain Country, the fear of the Black Rain Country has almost been ingrained in their souls.
Therefore, Jin An's conjecture can ignite the inner panic of the desert people.
In comparison, the expression on Jin An's face was much calmer: "It's nothing impossible."
He has lived for thousands of years, trying to use the secular dynasty's revised corpse-dissolving secret technique. The leader of the Teng Kingdom who came back from the dead can still cause chaos with a breath of disaster after being dead for thousands of years, trying to escape from the Polygonum multiflorum in the tomb of the dojo.
The mountain god was so angry that he met him, and then he met the four devils of the Black Rain Kingdom who had lived for hundreds of years and were still alive. The expression on his face was naturally much calmer.
No matter how powerful he is, can he be more powerful than the leader of the Teng Kingdom? The mountain god is so angry?
Regardless of the fact that the other three people were still in shock and could not react, Jin An continued: "I have heard people tell the story of the four devils in the Black Rain Kingdom, and I found that everyone ignored the most important person in this story.
!King of Black Rain Kingdom!”
"The national master who likes to skin living people, steal life spans, and refine the elixir of immortality may not be the most vicious devil in the Black Rain Kingdom. I think the King of the Black Rain Kingdom who is rarely mentioned in the story is the most hidden and most evil one.
Vicious devil!"
"The four devils who can eat women, mummies who suck the blood of living people, the devil who likes to deceive the pure souls of children, and the four devils who can peel off the skin to refine the elixir of immortality can be under his command.
Don’t you think this kind of person is the most insidious and terrifying devil to the old king of the Black Rain Kingdom who has done his best to find a way to immortality for him? If the devil from the Black Rain Kingdom really escaped from trouble half a year ago, I think
There were not only four devils who escaped, but a total of five devils who escaped, and the biggest devil who was hiding the deepest was the old king of Black Rain Kingdom."
The more Jin An talks about it, the more frightening it becomes.
Even in broad daylight, the surroundings feel cold.
"If the King of Black Rain Kingdom is still alive, the four devils will definitely continue to slaughter the city and peel off skins to refine the elixir of immortality, steal the life span of others and sacrifice it to the King of Black Rain Kingdom to help him continue to live."
Gulizar looked a little pale with fright and looked at his father and uncle Kulijiang, hoping to hear someone refute Jin An's words.
She wanted to hear someone tell her personally that none of this was true.
But what she saw was that her father and Uncle Kulijiang fell silent, their brows furrowed tightly, and the princess was panicked.
The princess' eyes were panicked, and she looked at Jin An weakly for help: "The conspiracy of the four...five devils of Black Rain Kingdom...did not succeed this time, then he...will they continue to come to Yueqiang Kingdom and want to continue to harm my father?"
"The desert is very big. I don't think they will keep an eye on the Yue Qiang Kingdom. This conspiracy failed. Before the situation is clear, they will only be more wary of the Yue Qiang Kingdom." Jin'an's words were not words of comfort. Desert
It's a big country with many small countries. If he stood on the other side's side, there was no need to hang himself from a tree. If he failed this time, he could change his target to another place.
Moreover, they did not know that their identities had been exposed. They only thought that the failure in the Yueqiang Kingdom was just an accident. A Han Taoist priest happened to pass by and saved the Yueqiang Kingdom's national destiny.
I just don’t know which desert country they will set as their next hunting target?
Next, Jin An discussed many details with the king, and learned more about the Black Rain Country, Guchi Country, and the Desert.
When they almost understood each other, the king suddenly asked the princess and Kulijiang, the bearded man, to leave first. He had some private matters to discuss with Jin An.
