Holy Bone

Chapter 406 Black Rain Country, and New Clues from Guchi Country

The matter of the pottery pot with the human face ghost and the stinkbug with the human face.

We have to start from half a year ago.

The king of the Yueqiang Kingdom was letting irrelevant people back down, leaving only the most trusted Jin'an, Kulijiang, and Gulizal, and began to talk about all the reasons with heavy eyes.

Half a year ago, there was a rare sandstorm in the desert, which emptied many sand dunes overnight. That night not only revealed the former site of the Black Rain Country that had been swallowed by yellow sand for hundreds of years, but also many strange things happened in the desert. .

Like a drought.

For example, there are many murders and cannibalism related to the devil in the desert.

Another example is the skinning tragedy that occurred in many places in the desert.

……

The fragments of pottery pots with human faces that Jin'an saw under the temple of offering sacrifices to the gods have been floating from the upper reaches one after another since then, flowing through the Yueqiang Kingdom along the underground river veins, and then salvaged ashore by the priests guarding the water source.

He guessed right, these pottery jars with human faces were indeed sacrifices, and the origin of the sacrifices was related to Guchi Kingdom.

The Yueqiang Kingdom has some records about the ancient country of Guchi thousands of years ago. Every December in the Guchi Kingdom is their sacrificial ceremony. The clansmen 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 pot with human face. The chest and abdomen of the slave were peeled alive. When the heart was still beating, the internal organs were emptied and sealed in the pot, and fresh organs were offered to the gods.

In order to prevent people from disturbing the holy mountain and stealing their sacrifices to the gods, these people from Guchi Kingdom also came up with the insidious method of cultivating human-faced stinkbugs in clay pots with human faces, which is used to save their lives. The holy mountain and sacrifices have been guarded from generation to generation.

The refining method of this human-faced stinkbug is very insidious. It tortured the slaves to despair, and they had a mental breakdown. Then they cut off the face with a knife and attached it to the back of the human-faced stinkbug. The high priest of Guchi Kingdom believed that it was peeled off at this time The expression on the human face is the most vicious and painful, and it can scare away all those who break into the holy mountain with the help of the vicious human face on the back of the human-faced bug.

However, the pottery pots with human faces that drifted along the underground river to Yueqiang Kingdom have all been broken, and the human-faced bugs inside and the human organs used as sacrifices have long since disappeared. The river was broken...

Now that the pottery pots with human faces were broken, only inconspicuous tattered pottery pots remained, and the Yueqiang Kingdom didn't take these tattered pottery pots seriously. Most importantly, they didn't expect this pottery pottery with human faces The human-faced insects in the book are so evil, and only one human-faced insect can confuse the king, almost causing the Yueqiang Kingdom to perish.

Speaking of this, I have to go back to the original topic. Half a year ago, there was a big change in the desert. Not only did the Black Rain Kingdom briefly reappear in the world, but there were many legends about devils killing people and eating people in the desert. There are also many strange creatures such as human-faced corpse gnats and human-faced stinkbugs running out of the corpse mountain in the Guchi Kingdom that has been stored for thousands of years.

It seems that a big sandstorm has blown many things in Zangshi Ridge to all parts of the desert.

"December?"

Jin An felt that this was a very important clue.

Uncle Lin told him back then that the sacred mountain of Guchi Kingdom is usually a mountain, but it will melt into the sea in the desert on the day of the annual sacrifice, so it is also called the sacred mountain of Huahai.

December is the sacrificial ceremony, does it mean that only in December of each year is there a chance to see the holy mountain of Guchi Kingdom?
Now he has grasped several important clues about the location of the ruins of Guchi Kingdom, the deepest part of the desert, go south, there is a chance in December.

Thinking of this, Jin An raised his head and looked at the king of Yueqiang Kingdom who was weak and recuperating on the bed: "King, do you still remember the appearance of the mysterious tourist in the desert?"

"What is their background? Why did they give you a complete pottery pot with a human face?"

Among the few people present, only the king and Kulijiang had seen that group of people, but no matter how hard they thought, the faces in their memory were blurred, and they couldn't even remember a single face.

It's as if someone has tampered with their memory and can't recall the specifics of that day at all.

"Although I can't remember their appearance, I know their purpose, which is why I was eager to see Daoist Jin'an as soon as I woke up!" the king said seriously.

"During the half a year that I held the Clay Pot with Human Face, most of the time I was fascinated by the Clay Pot with Human Face Ghost, but there were occasional waking states. The reason why the Clay Pot with Human Face didn't kill me was that it was waiting. I don’t know why I’m waiting for a certain person... because the grimace on the back of the big bug that Daoist Jin’an said is very confused, he is completely crazy, and there is only despair and resentment in his eyes , but her chaotic memory mentioned 'Black Rain Country' several times..."

When it came to this, the king's face became more serious, and he said solemnly: "So I guess, the person who gave me the clay pot with human face half a year ago may be the devil who escaped from the Black Rain Country, who can make people face The devils on the backs of stinkbugs that women are afraid of are only the four devils in the Black Rain Country who kill people without blinking an eye."

The king suddenly changed his subject and looked at Kulijiang who was standing beside him: "Kulijiang, do you still remember how many people were there in the group of mysterious travelers in the desert that I summoned half a year ago?"

Unexpectedly, the king would ask him suddenly, but Kulijiang was just taken aback, and then replied: "Return to Your Majesty, there were many mysterious travelers in the desert at that time, although I can't remember what they looked like, but I remember Among those people, there are four people with the highest status, and His Majesty happened to summon four of them that day."

The king continued to ask with heavy eyes: "Kulijiang, do you still remember the desert people, who grew up listening to the 'Story of the Devil in the Black Rain Country'?"

Kulijiang continued to reply respectfully: "Your Majesty, since I was a child, Apa Ata has used the story of the 'Black Rain Country' to scare me. Every time I am mischievous, I, Apa Ata, will use the story of the four devils of the Black Rain Country. The story made me obedient, and I, Kulijiang, have never been beaten by Apa Ata since I was a child, and I have never heard the stories of the Four Devils of the Black Rain Country since I was a child."

"There are four big devils in the Black Rain Country, a crazy woman who thinks that eating young men and women can delay aging, an old madman who makes herself a mummy, a devil who likes to cheat children's pure souls from their parents, and a self-proclaimed The most vicious national teacher 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 the skin of living people to refine the elixir of immortality."

When it came to this, the Kulijiang people were stunned: "Your Majesty, you doubt..."

Kulijiang's face was very ugly at this time.

No matter who you are, if you find that the horror stories you have heard since you were young will become true one day, and the devil from hundreds of years ago is by your side, you will not be calm and calm.

Even the princess Gulizal, who accompanied the king's bedside and held the king's palm, was so frightened that she subconsciously grasped her father's palm tightly.

Jin An pondered, he understood what the king meant, and it was no wonder that the king of the Yueqiang Kingdom in front of him suspected the four devils of the Heiyu Kingdom, because there were too many coincidences.

At this time, the king's brows were tightly knit into the word Chuan: "But there is one thing that I have never understood. Why did the four big devils who escaped from the ruins of Heiyu country stare at our Yueqiang country in so many desert countries?" Is it because of those pottery pots with human faces that drifted along the river and passed by our Yueqiang Kingdom?"

At this time, Jin An said coldly: "Perhaps, those pottery jars with human faces are just one of the reasons. They learned through some means that Yueqiang Kingdom had salvaged a lot of pottery pots with human faces, so they wanted to get more pottery with human faces." Stinkbugs."

"But I think their biggest purpose is the second reason. They want to slowly control the king, and then skin the people of a country again to refine the elixir of life."

what!
This……

All three present were startled by Jin An's bold conjecture.

They grew up listening to the stories of the Black Rain Country, and their fear of the Black Rain Country has almost been rooted in their souls.

Therefore, Jin An's conjecture can ignite the inner panic of the people in the desert.

In comparison, the expression on Jin An's face was much calmer: "There is nothing impossible."

He has lived for thousands of years, trying to use the incompletely modified corpse dissection secret technique to bring back the Lord of the Teng Kingdom from the dead, and the mountain god who has been dead for thousands of years and can still cause chaos with a breath of disaster, trying to escape from the shadow of the dojo. After encountering all the evil spirits, and then encountering the four great devils of the Heiyu Kingdom who have lived for hundreds of years and have not died, the expression on their faces is naturally much calmer.

Because no matter how powerful they are, they can still surpass the ruler of the Teng Kingdom who has exhausted all the organs?The mountain god is angry?
Regardless of the fact that the other three were still in shock and did not react, Jin An continued, "I've heard the story of the four great devils in the Black Rain Country, and I found that everyone ignored the most important person in this story. ! That is the king of the Black Rain Country!"

"I like to skin human skins, steal lifespans, and refine elixir of immortality. That black rain country's national teacher may not be the most vicious devil in the black rain country, but I think the king of the black rain country that is rarely mentioned in the story is the one." The deepest and most vicious devil!"

"The Four Devils who can eat women, the corpses that feed on blood, the devils that devour souls, and the four devils that can peel skins and refine the elixir of life can be taken under their command; they can play a balance of power among the four devils, and they can drive the four devils to fulfill their duties. Don’t you think that the old king of the Black Rain Country is the most insidious and terrifying devil? If the devil in the Black Rain Country really escaped from the trap half a year ago, I think he would have escaped. There are not only four devils, but a total of five devils escaped, and the biggest devil who hides the deepest is the old king of the Black Rain Country."

The more Jin An said, the more shocking he became.

Even in broad daylight it feels cold all around.

"If the King of the Black Rain Country is still alive, the Four Devils will definitely continue to slaughter the city and pick up their skins to refine the elixir of life, and steal other people's lives as sacrifices to the King of the Black Rain Country, so as to help him continue his life."

Gulizal turned pale with fright and looked at his father and Uncle Kulijiang, wanting to hear someone refute Jin'an's words.

I want to hear someone tell her that none of this is true.

But what she saw was that both her father and Uncle Kulijiang fell silent, their brows were tightly furrowed, and the princess was flustered.

The princess's eyes were flustered, and she looked at Jin'an for help: "The conspiracy of the fourth...five devils of the Black Rain Kingdom...doesn't succeed this time, so he...they will continue to come to the Yueqiang Kingdom, and want to continue to harm my father?"

Jin An frowned slightly and thought, "The desert is huge, so I don't think they will stick to the Yueqiang Kingdom. This time the plot failed. Before the situation is clear, they will only be more wary of the Yueqiang Kingdom."

His words were not words of consolation.

The desert is huge, and there are many small countries. If he stood in the opponent's position, there was no need to hang himself from a tree. If he failed this time, he could change his target to other places.

And they didn't know that their identities had been exposed, and they only felt that their failure in Yueqiang Kingdom was just an accident. A Han Taoist priest happened to pass by and saved the fate of Yueqiang Kingdom.

I just don't know which small desert country they will set as their next hunting target?
Next, Jin An discussed many details with the king, and learned more about Heiyu Kingdom, Guchi Kingdom, Wuershi, Baizu and other subordinate countries of the Undead God Kingdom in the deeper desert.

When the understanding was about the same, the king suddenly asked the princess and Ku Lijiang to retreat first, because he had some private matters to discuss with Jin An alone.

Then in the bedroom where only the two of them were left, outsiders couldn't hear what Jin An and the king were discussing inside. After about half an hour, they saw Jin An open the door and come out with a calm face.

Before leaving, Jin An turned his head and left a sentence to the king: "Don't rush to make a decision on this matter. I will leave Yueqiang Kingdom early tomorrow morning. I suggest that the king should think it over carefully."

The king in the palace behind him looked sad, as if something was preoccupied with him.
