Midnight.

Midnight at the pyramid of kukurkan.

Most of the pure tourists who watch the "light and shadow snake" during the day have gone to the city to enjoy the night life in Mexico.

However, the number of people around the pyramid does not seem to decrease, but more than during the day.

The faces of these people who came here only at night, under the reflection of the next quarter of the moon, were filled with unspeakable solemnity and mystery, giving people a heavy sense of depression.

In this way, they are standing or sitting quietly, right in front of the kukurkan pyramid. No one speaks. They are waiting for a certain period of time.

Tens of thousands of people gathered together at midnight, but no one spoke. If this situation did not appear in the army, it would certainly make people feel strange.

Even if someone coughs occasionally, they will try their best to suppress it because of this strange atmosphere.

Chu Yang, who is "holding a candle night talk" with his Mexican sister, takes out his mobile phone and glances at it. Then he lifts a corner of the tent curtain and looks out. He sees the top of the pyramid 500 meters away from the tent. By this time, there is a faint light.

Chu Yang saw that it was by no means modern lighting such as light bulbs, but someone put torches on it.

It was quite mysterious... Chu Yang gave a smile, then turned to the red faced marina and asked in a low voice: "midnight has arrived, why is there no movement outside?"

I don't know how she was coaxed by Chu man. Marina is very good now: "wait a minute, don't you see that people are waiting outside? As long as you hear the sound of drums, the sacrificial ceremony will begin. Actually, I advise you not to watch it, because it's scary. "

"Scary? Do you mean to frighten people when killing "sacrifice"

Before Marina could answer, chuyang suddenly heard the drum.

Drum, monotonous and dull drum, faintly sounded from the far right side of the pyramid.

In the silent night, the monotonous drum sound reverberated in tens of thousands of people's ears, as if every beat on everyone's heart, and the whole body could not help shivering with the drum sound.

After hearing the monotonous drumming, Marina immediately sat up from the bed. Her face, which was still full of spring, turned into a slightly frightened seriousness: "the high priest and the saint, the Dharma protector and the 'sacrifice' have appeared, and the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin!"

"Here you are. I'll go out and have a look."

"No, John," Marina quickly took chuyang's hand and shook her head. "You must not go out. It's very scary. Anyway, the sacrificial ceremony is held on the top of the tower, which can be seen even in the tent. "

"Ha ha, have you forgotten what I told you during the day? I said I'm going to show you my magic tonight. My magic... "

When Chu Yang said this, he took a look at the narrow steel wire bed, then attached it to marina's ear and said in a low voice, "it's not just on the bed."

Marina's face turned red. Just when she wanted to say, "you always play with your mouth, but you don't really come here," Chu Yang broke her hand and got out of the tent.

"John!" After whispering Chu Yang's English name, Marina ran out of the tent, but she couldn't see the guy any more.

According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the moon that appears on the night before the end of the month on the 24th day of each month is called the next Emei month, commonly known as the last quarter moon.

The last quarter of the moon rises after midnight, in the East sky, the moon faces east, emitting a faint yellow halo, it looks very strange, especially suitable for the occasion of faking gods and ghosts.

After looking up at the moon in the East sky, Chu Yang walked quickly through those still people. Occasionally, he would step on whose feet or shoulder, and no one would pay any attention to him. He just looked up at the place where the drums sounded, with excited piety on his face.

Because the sacrificial platform of the Mayans was at the top of the pyramid, the closer they were to the pyramid, the fewer people there were.

No one likes to raise his head high, which also gives Chu Yang great convenience, and soon he goes through the crowd and gets close to the pyramid.

At this time, with more and more clear drums, some red, yellow and X-ray lights appeared in the direction of the rising moon.

In the shadow of the lamp, some people who are similar to the Chinese wind lamp, like zombies with bent knees, come to the pyramid in a strange formation surrounded by six lifting chairs.

There are white curtains on the top of the six chairs, so you can't see whether the men and women are sitting inside.

As these people passed through the crowd, all of them covered their chests with their left hands and bowed to the lift chair, whispering something in their mouths.

Looking at these people coming to the pyramid, Chu Yang was not stupid enough to climb to the top from the front of the pyramid. He had to quickly walk around the North steps of the pyramid, come to the East and look up. Then he took a deep breath and began to climb up with both hands and feet.

Kukurkan pyramid itself is in the wilderness. Besides the moon in the East, the nearest light source is hundreds of meters away.

And the most important thing is that tens of thousands of people are now concentrating on the six lift chairs, and no one notices that someone will turn to the back of the pyramid.

Even a few of them noticed him and thought that this guy might want to pee in a quiet place. They were still praying for him: boy, if you want to pee, you'd better stay away. If you desecrate the spirit, the chicken will not be hard

It should be very easy for a guy who can climb dozens of stories up the leaky pipe and rape his daughter to Jiang to climb the inclined pyramid in a few minutes.

When Chu Yang was about to climb to the top of the pyramid from the back of the pyramid, he stopped and listened. After hearing nothing unusual, he slowly stretched out his head and looked to the top.

The top of the trapezoidal pyramid has about 30 square meters of space, and the most central place is a flat ground of 14.5 square meters.

On the side of the flat ground near the crowd, there is a rectangular wooden table, like an enlarged tea table.

Around this square table, there are seven torch shelves which are well placed. On the top of them are torches with arm thickness. The dark yellow X-color flames keep swinging with the night wind, but they won't go out. I don't know what they are made of.

Chu Yang felt that the enlarged tea table was probably the altar.

In addition to lighting, the seven torches should be placed in accordance with the position of the Big Dipper according to their position.

Eh, these Mayans are a bit mysterious. Even a torch is arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. It's like the Big Dipper array of ancient Chinese Taoists... When Chu Yang was lying on the back of the pyramid studying these things, the thrilling drum came winding to the top of the tower.

Before he saw the wooden table used as a sacrificial platform, Chu Yang had no idea which girl would be used as a sacrifice.

He climbed up to watch the sacrifice ceremony at a close distance, and then appropriately showed his small face and said "I love you" with the majority of believers who worship the plumed serpent god, holding high their arms, in order to lead to the 2012 group of grandchildren, and guard tens of thousands of people to ask them about Xie Yaotong's whereabouts by taking advantage of the chance that he is the plumed serpent god.

Of course, what he wants to see most is whether the "light and shadow snake" will appear in the dark when the tangled bracelet is displayed.

If he didn't show up, chuyang could conclude that what Sophie had told him before was the nonsense of old Mr. shakku.

But what if it does?

Chuyang didn't think about it.

To be honest, he really doesn't want to have that kind of spectacle, because if it does appear, it means that he is indeed the hairy plumed serpent god.

Let go of this problem for a moment. When he saw this altar, he suddenly understood that there might be a little girl who had fasted for 16 days tonight and would be sacrificed to him by these stupid people.

In this regard, the great badminton God Mr. Chu Yang is deeply sorry, began to consider whether to stop these holding other people's lives improper bastards.

If Chu Yang had not retired before, he would not care after the event.

A killer who has his head tied to his belt and his chick may be killed at any time. Besides money, all he values is his small circle of friends. He is not interested in such a thing as fighting and suffering.

But now it's not the same. Chu Yang can't even feel it. With the contact with Chai Murong, Hua Manyu and Zhou Shuhan, these selfish and mercenary habits have been imperceptibly influenced. He began to learn to look at things in front of him like a normal person, otherwise he would not care about Chai Murong's spiritual infidelity.

Chu Yang is changing, even he didn't realize that he is changing to the human side.

The drumbeat, which is monotonous and depressing, is getting closer and closer to the platform. Chu Yang has seen the fire light in the direction of the steps.

But he didn't hide half of his head. Anyway, it was hard to see where he was even in the daytime.

Bang, bang, bang!

The drumbeat finally rang out on the platform. A guy wearing a white robe and an inverted cone-shaped white linen hat appeared at the entrance of the steps.

This guy with only two hands and a pair of eyes on his whole body, like an emissary from hell, stepped onto the platform with very regular steps.

Following this white robe came a bearded man who was also wearing a white robe but did not wear a white hat.

The big beard had a fat face, which suddenly looked like a butcher. The face was shining and greasy in the light of the torch, but there was no expression.

Chuyang could confirm from the long black nail he was holding that this guy should be the new high priest that Marina said: hueo.

After Hu Yeo stepped on the last step, he didn't immediately walk to the altar. Instead, he looked up around the platform for a few eyes, and then bent down and bowed to the side.

The drummer didn't stop drumming when he observed the surrounding environment, but the frequency of drumming slowed down a lot, which seemed to match the pace of those who came up later.
