Chapter 50: Women's Leather Figurines
The legend of that year has been destroyed in the primitive jungle of Minyue. It is impossible to verify whether the mysterious King of South China Sea and the legend of the local mute emperor are really related. However, along the way, many signs still indicate that the legend of the local ethnic minorities has many subtle echoes with King of South China Sea.
I calmed down for a moment. The "human skin figurines" exposed on the water were peeled off the whole piece of human skin and made into leather. They were made of bamboo silk to form a human shape. Because it has been more than two thousand years, these human skin figurines have been calcified in large quantities. Even if the bamboo silk in it has completely rotted, the appearance of the human skin still maintains the human shape. Just like the legendary blind soldiers guarding this strange tomb of the king.
But strangely, I don’t know what ancient secret methods these thousand-year-old human skins have undergone before. No parasites have grown on them, and they are all black.
Fatty and I were both silent. We have never heard of this kind of burial method in Minyue. It may be related to the "Immortal Art" legend in the ethnic minority legend at that time. The eyes of the walls and murals before have allowed me to see the evil nature of this evil technique. The candles with rhinoceros horns and the human skin figurines in the water, I don't know if there is any special intention, so we dare not underestimate it.
At this time, I had a bold guess, which was that strange legend, which might have been passed on by the craftsman who built the tomb of the King of South China Sea to the local people at that time. Because he could not say it directly, he was afraid that the location of the tomb would be leaked, so he composed what he saw and heard during the tomb construction into a story.
The mute emperor is the King of South China Sea. The spell that will fail when you open your eyes is the wall murals, and the mute emperor's paper and paper horses all over the mountains are these human skin figurines buried with them. There is another incredible saying in this legend, that is, the mute emperor has a ghost bow.
Because the legend is mostly different from the situations we encounter in the tomb of the king, I think the so-called "ghost bow" is not really a bow, so what is this "ghost bow"?
Bypassing this human skin figurine, we continued to wade through the waterway, and the water level became lower and lower, and slowly we could expose our waists. Under the illumination of rhinoceros horn candles, more and more human skin figurines exposed on the water left flickering and weird shadows on the walls.
I stopped and followed the direction I followed the direction of the human figurines, but strangely, a human skin figurine appeared in front of me, and its direction was opposite to all other human skin figurines.
They couldn't see what I could see and stopped. They asked me what was wrong.
I said, "There is one that is different from the others."
"What is different? You should make it clear. Be fat, lose weight, grow taller, and shorter?"
I looked at the human skin figurine with different directions. The human skin figurine's face showed blurred facial features due to calcification, but this one was not, this one had very clear facial features. If human skin figurines were an ancient art form, the craftsman who stretched this human skin figurine would definitely be far better than others.
Moreover, the human skin of this human skin figurine should come from a woman.
The movements of other human skin figurines are like warriors. Although the weapons and armor should have been rotten, the woman's human skin figurines are realistic in shape and their hands naturally hang down. It can be seen that the craftsmen love this figurine and have put a lot of thought into it.
I slowly approached and felt a particularly ominous feeling in my heart. I had strong experience in the past, and I must be a demon. This figure is completely abnormal here, and it must have been done by the ancients. In addition, this figure is hiding behind other figures. From my perspective, it is secretly looking at me, which makes people feel creepy.
I began to think about how to get over and what to do to prevent it. Finally, I decided to be fat in front and the second place of the oil bottle. I was in the end, so that if the oil bottle changed, I could take care of both sides.
We passed by the woman's leather figurine just like a train. Nothing happened. I breathed a sigh of relief, but I still felt something was wrong in my heart. When I looked back, the woman's leather figurine could no longer see clearly. I also owe it, and said to the fat man: "Let's take a look back."
The fat man didn't know what I wanted to see, so he handed me the brazier. When I turned back and illuminated, I saw the back of the woman's leather figurine. I looked carefully and felt that something was wrong, but I still couldn't tell the truth.
