Chapter 254 Sitting Boy
The shape of this open space is very neat, and the whole is round. The ground is paved with stone slabs. It should be a man-made square.
The area of this square is quite large, but the opposite of the square is not beyond the scope of the bamboo forest, because we can see the lush bamboo forest opposite the square.
And we can see from a distance that there seems to be something like an altar in the middle of the square.
The height of the altar is about two people high, and the area is not large.
What surprised us most was that there seemed to be several people lying on the altar.
The three of us looked at each other and both meant to go up and check.
Obviously, the people above should be dead when they move, and this altar is actually a living altar.
When we stepped on the square paved with thick stone slabs, we all sweated in our hearts, because the sacrifices used for living sacrifices were generally killed in a very cruel way, either cutting our throat and bleeding, or cutting meat and bones. In short, the things dedicated to heaven or gods were carefully processed.
When we gradually approached the altar, we saw six statues of one person high around the altar, all of which were Lei Yun monks with serious expressions and long knives in their hands.
These six Leiyun monks look in different directions and look at their fierce faces, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
The altar surrounded by them is hexagonal, and there are stairs to climb up on one side.
We walked through the stone statue, walked up more than 20 steps, and then saw several people lying on the altar.
When I saw them, I was secretly surprised, because these people who were sacrificed were all children under eight years old, and they were all girls.
These girls were put on beautiful kimonos on board before they died, but now they are rotten and faded.
I counted the bodies of six little girls lying here, all of which turned into dead bones.
However, although these little girls have rotten bodies, their hair is still very good, winding and spreading on the ground, mixed with the dead leaves and soil that have fallen on the machine all year round, looking very strange.
And the strangest thing is that these little girls wear a chain with thin fingers around their necks.
One end of the chain is firmly around the girl's neck, and the other end is the ghost pillar connected to the corner of the altar, which looks like a pet tied to the altar.
Nobita took a look around and found that there were no little ghosts around him. He said, "It's strange. Is it afraid that they will escape after they die?"
I took a look at the nearest girl's bones and found that her face had long been rotten into a skeleton, and a pair of empty eyes were looking at the sky, as if there was infinite resentment.
I couldn't bear to look more and said, "It's rotten into bones. It's impossible for the body to change. I think it must be some kind of confinement."
After saying that, I pointed to the chains and said, "Look, there are spells on the chains, and then look at those ghost pillars, they are also full of ghost charms."
The two of them looked at it, and they were both a little doubtful.
And I thought one step faster than them and asked Daxiong, "What will you do if you want your descendants to make a fortune?"
Daxiong was puzzled when he heard it. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course, I will wait for Master Xiong to hang up and find a feng shui treasure to bury it.
I nodded and said, "Yes, what Chinese people believe most is feng shui, while the Japanese are different. Although they also believe in feng shui, more people believe that monsters can bring good luck to their families."
When Nie Chuan heard me say that, he immediately answered, "You mean to sit down as a boy?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, you have also heard that sitting boy is a kind of monster that can bring good luck to the family. As long as there is a sitting boy at home, although some strange things will happen, it must be prosperous."
Nie Chuan added: "Indeed, although sitting children bring wealth, they also like to play tricks on people. For example, when a few children play together, they occasionally find an extra person, and no one has seen them. I don't know where they come from. Children will be very scared when they see it. In addition, for example, if the important goods market at home is not seen, it will appear in an obvious position soon. I heard that it is also what they do.
At this time, Nobita turned pale again and said, "What are you talking about is a monster? Obviously, it is a ghost. I once heard that a Japanese advertisement was banned because there was a little ghost in it!"
I wonder, "Aren't you the most afraid of ghosts? You still know this. Why, have you also seen that advertisement?"
Nobita shook his head like a rattle and said, "I didn't see it, I just heard it."
I laughed and said, "I've seen a few children driving the train. At first, there were seven people, but later, when the picture was close-up of the feet, eight feet appeared, so they were banned."
Nobita scolded, "Who asked you to talk about it? Did I say I wanted to hear it?"
I was about to laugh at his cowardice again when Nie Chuan next to me asked me, "You mean these little girls are sitting boys?" But I haven't heard that the sitting boy is refined with magic.
I nodded and said, "Indeed, I haven't heard of it, but who is Lei Yun Monk? His method is not comparable to ordinary people, and it is not necessarily necessary to refine the sitting boy. Maybe he just takes the bodies of these little girls as the host to keep the sitting boy for a long time.
Nie Chuan thought for a moment and asked me again, "Then how can you definitely sit as a boy?" Maybe it's other ceremonies.
I shook my head and said, "Look, those dummy in this bamboo forest are obviously useless. They are simply arranged to make toys for the little ghosts. Lei Yunsheng binds them here. Of course, they should be better for them. Those dummy are the favorite toys of Japanese children, and so many fingerprints on them are the best proof."
Nie Chuan nodded to agree with my reasoning, but then asked, "What's wrong with those bones? Although the boy is naughty, he has never heard of killing."
I frowned and said, "This is what I'm most worried about, because it's not enough to lock them up with chains. I'm afraid that there must be some vicious monsters in this forest, guarding these sitting boys, and those bones are left by them."
As soon as I said this, the forest behind us suddenly moved, and a little girl in a red kimono suddenly ran out of the forest.
She originally ran towards the altar, but after seeing us, she was stunned, turned around and ran into the forest next to her.
Although we didn't see the little girl's appearance clearly, Nobita was already scared.
Because we used to guess, but now we really see the so-called sitting boy, and our hearts are full of hair.
After a while, Nie Chuan swallowed his saliva and said, "She seems to be avoiding something. It seems that your guess is right. There are powerful monsters here."
I looked at the black donkey's hoof in his hand and smiled helplessly and said, "Let's go. We have affected these poor boys to go home here. We'd better go through the forest quickly."
Nie Chuan held the black donkey's hoof tightly and nodded to me, perhaps hoping that this thing could resist the upcoming monster.
I didn't say much and continued to walk forward.
If our altar is in the middle of the forest, then we still have half the way to go.
I don't know if this is good news or bad news, because the forest in front is deeper and more unpredictable. Maybe there is something waiting for us.
When I took the first step into the bamboo forest again, I obviously felt the difference in the atmosphere.
Because there are no white dolls here, only denser bamboo forests.
The bamboo here grows stronger and thicker, showing a dark black that is too healthy.
And the bamboo forest is also quieter. Every step we take, the sound of stepping on the ground can be clearly heard.
Except for us, there are only a few leaves that occasionally fall in the bamboo forest.
The sun can't penetrate the dense bamboo forest at all. Our vision is very limited, so we can only walk carefully.
But my bad intuition soon came true. When we walked around a cluster of thick bamboo bushes, we saw a woman in a kimono with a tattered oil-paper umbrella standing motionless with her back to us.
