System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality

The resentment was too strong, and Shen Xia couldn't get close. She could only start from the bottom and slowly swim to the top of the corpse mountain.

The white bones at the bottom were basically covered with mud. The white bones of the trees in the mud seemed to have grown from the bottom of the lake. Out of respect for the deceased, Shen Xia did not pull out the bones to look at them, but tried to get closer and think about them. See the difference above.

Only then did Shen Xia see clearly that some of the white bones were covered with densely packed spells, which did not look like they were carved on them, but seemed to grow out of the bones.

Going upstream, they arrived near the corpses that had not been completely corroded. Their clothes and the meat hanging on the corpses were floating nearby like cotton wool. Only then did Shen Xia know what those flocs in the lake were. .

Shen Xia couldn't tell if there were maggots in the meat, and she wasn't interested in observing it. She wanted to know if the charms printed on the bones she saw on the ground floor were still here.

Sure enough, the marks of the black spell could be clearly seen on the white flesh floating in the water, as well as on the exposed bones.

Holding back her nausea, Shen Xia continued to swim upstream.

On the top were the "relatively fresh" corpses. Most of the corpses still had their coats on, and Shen Xia could clearly see their state before death. Basically, the hands and feet are tied behind the back and fixed with a slender stone or jade-like pillar. This posture is like tying a pig.

The expressions on their faces varied, most were frightened, and some were calm. Starting from their faces, their entire bodies were covered with ink-colored talismans, and the lake water did not dilute the color of the talismans at all.

Shen Xia memorized most of the spells, and she also tried to use the photo-taking function of her communicator to take pictures of the mountain of corpses and send them to Kuang Zhou. But Shen Xia tried many times, but the communicator was completely disabled down there, and she couldn't even tell the time accurately.

The system was also unable to provide an accurate time. Xiao Ai only said that some functions of the system were temporarily unavailable due to the influence of an unknown magnetic field. Shen Xia didn't want to rely on the system plug-in to find out any clues, so she was not at a loss.

At the top of the mountain of corpses are three children soaked in water. There are no traces of any spells on their faces, and their hands and feet are not tied. Compared with the others who were drowned, these three people looked more like they had died before entering the water. , with a face full of horror.

Shen Xia picked up the three children and confirmed that there were no traces of spells on them, so he speculated that someone killed the three children and threw them into the water.

In this case, then when you return to the shore, you can fish the three people out. There is too much resentment in this lake, and there is really no need to let three children suffer such a crime.

Shen Xia was floating on the top of the corpse mountain. She also discovered a problem. The fully visible corpses exposed at the bottom were basically women. The higher they went up, the corpses of children began to appear.

If this is really a kind of sacrifice, then the first "sacrifice" is a woman. What is the reason why children also become "sacrifice"? Why was the previous altar abandoned? There is no other altar here, and it is underwater. How do you carry out sacrificial activities?

The previous problems have not been solved, but there are countless more mysteries here.

Since there is a mountain of corpses here, it means there is something else nearby that has not been discovered before.

Thinking of this, Shen Xia dived down again.

Still nothing was found. Shen Xia turned around three times and even searched the area. There were only corpses here, and even the first sounds were gone.

So, there’s only one place left that I haven’t seen yet.

Shen Xia swam straight to the bottom of the lake, stood above the mud, and while silently muttering "offended" in his heart, he raised his sword and thrust it into the mud.

The next moment, the entire bottom of the lake began to shake with Fei Qiongjian as the center, and the mud at the bottom of the lake began to rise. Shen Xia pushed the Fei Qiong Sword down hard. The water at the bottom of the lake was already turbid. Shen Xia did this. Except for the coral bead hanging on her waist, which was still shining brightly, Shen Xia could no longer see the bottom of the lake at all. What's going on?

About half a quarter of an hour later, Shen Xia pulled up the Fei Qiong Sword. The Fei Qiong Sword went all the way down. Except for hitting some bones along the way and even accidentally shattering the old bones, it was basically unimpeded.

After another long while, Shen Xia could barely see what was underneath - a bigger mountain of corpses.

Basically, they were piled up with white bones. Those bones had become extremely fragile and loose under the erosion of the lake water. The only thing visible was the charm on the bones. Such dense piles made Shen Xia feel even more disgusting.

This Shibi Village only has a population of more than thirty households. How come so many people were sacrificed?

Going downstream, Shen Xia felt an inexplicable attraction, guiding her to look toward the bottom, as if something was calling her.

When she swam to the bottom, Shen Xia seemed to be stepping on a stone slab. This should be the real bottom of the lake. When she looked up, it was completely black and the entire mountain of corpses could no longer be seen.

The area of ​​silt that Shen Xia shook up with Fei Qiong Sword was not large compared to this lake, but it was enough for Shen Xia, because she saw a new altar, no, to be precise, it was a It was a simpler sacrificial site than the previous one. It was not even an altar.

There are still steps at the bottom, and in the center of the altar is a stone pillar half a person's height. There is a jade box placed on top of the stone pillar. It is sealed, and there is no pull ring that can be opened. Behind the stone pillar is a large irregular cylinder, which is somewhat similar to a large stone that was hollowed out and moved here to serve as a sacrificial altar.

There were complicated and detailed carvings on the stone pillars, and Shen Xia leaned over to observe them carefully.

This is a complete painting. At the bottom, there is a group of people kneeling around the altar. The sacrifices on the altar are in progress. A priest dances and lights the tied sacrifices. Above, a god descends and is performing a ritual. Spread grace to his followers.

The strange thing is that Shen Xia cannot clearly see the appearance of the god in the painting. The halo behind him is not a circle, but an elongated triangular arc.

Shen Xia stood up and looked at the large tank behind. She felt that the altar was artificially built at the bottom of the lake. If the previous altar might be traces left by the aboriginal people here, this crude altar is more like It was deliberately built at the bottom of the lake. After all, these construction techniques are still too rough.

"What are you looking at?" A voice sounded in Shen Xia's ears.
