Chapter 478

Zhang Tuohai looked at the surrounding layout, which was similar to the general village ancestral hall. It seemed that there was no hiding place.

"Are you sure we can avoid disaster here?"

Zhang Tuohai asked.

"Twist the candlestick, it will reveal a passage to the underground, where you can, I remember..."

The little girl in red said, the cracks on her body began to spread again, and the black gas on her head began to increase everywhere.

A lollipop was stuffed in.

"Well, I see. Leave the rest to me."

Zhang Tuohai said, jumped out of the car and went straight to the candlestick.

Zhang Tuohai held the candlestick and gently broke it. There was no response.

"Is it rusty after years of disrepair?"

Zhang Tuohai tried to increase his strength, but there was no response.

"Can't it be broken?"

Zhang Tuohai broke it hard.

Bang!

The ground collapsed, and a huge slope appeared at the foot. Zhang Tuohai and the infantry chariot slid down together.

Seeing this, Zhang Tuohai accelerated and ran a few steps, caught up with the infantry fighting vehicle, and then rushed down all the way.

The car entered a dark underground space.

Creak!

A harsh sound came.

Zhang Tuohai looked back. The huge slope was slowly lifting up, and finally closed up and restored its original appearance.

The underground space fell into darkness.

Shua!

The car headlights lit up, illuminating the dark underground space.

In the light, the crack on the girl's body was spreading, and the black gas was leaking.

Seeing this, Zhang Tuohai immediately took out a big candy gift bag from the car and stuffed it into the girl's arms.

Looking at the colorful candy in the gift bag, the girl calmed down and the crack stopped spreading.

Zhang Tuohai breathed a sigh, which gave him time to check the situation around him.

This is a long dark tunnel. I don't know where it leads.

However, at this time, the road had been cut off, so he had to go ahead.

The infantry chariot walked slowly forward. The girl sat on the roof and ate lollipops. Her attention was attracted by the candy bag in her arms.

Zhang Tuohai looked around and looked around.

The surrounding walls are made of bluestone, which looks very strong. There are some murals on the walls.

Zhang Tuohai looked at it carefully.

Through those murals, Zhang Tuohai learned something about the village.

A group of refugees who avoided the war crossed the snow line hard, accidentally found a paradise and finally settled down.

However, they found that it was not as beautiful as they thought.

They found a stone slab. According to the description of the slab, they must sacrifice a 12-year-old girl to the mountain god every year. Otherwise, the mountain god will come and destroy here.

On the stone slab, a secret underground tunnel is recorded, which can be used as the last refuge.

While preparing for sacrifice, the villagers repaired the underground tunnel as the last escape route.

Every time they sacrifice, they will draw a mural in the tunnel. It is said that when the mural fills the whole tunnel, the disaster will end forever.

"This..."

Zhang Tuohai looked at these murals and didn't know what to say.

Afraid of volcanic eruptions, just escape to the snow line.

Every year, there are more than 100 murals, even if the hundred year war is over.

Isn't it good to move down the mountain?

Have to sacrifice one person every year as a sacrifice?

After reading the murals, I don't know why, Zhang Tuohai's guilt for killing those villagers has been reduced a lot.

Everyone is a guy with blood on his hands. No one should stand on the moral high ground and accuse each other.

The root of the sacrifice in the border village has been found, but who is the little girl?

Another question arose in Zhang Tuohai's heart.

As long as he is guided, the words will die. If he hadn't brought enough candy, I'm afraid the other party would have split.

At that time, I don't know what terrible things will appear.

"It's a dog day. I knew I wouldn't come in."

Zhang Tuohai thought a little depressed.

Originally, he just wanted to find out the reason why it was getting hotter and hotter. However, the reason was found, but he seemed to be trapped in a larger vortex, and he might die if he was careless.

Zhang Tuohai drove on. At the same time, he stared at the little girl in red from time to time. If he found anything wrong with her, he quickly stuffed a lollipop to prevent the other party from cracking.

The little girl in red rolled her eyes at Zhang Tuohai several times and disliked his rough action.

However, for the sake of lollipops, I was too lazy to care about it. I was safe all the way.

The infantry chariot kept moving deep along the tunnel.

After driving for two hours, suddenly a corner appeared ahead.

Zhang Tuohai's heart moved. He immediately reduced the speed and was on alert.

Soon, the infantry chariot came to the corner.

Turning the corner, Zhang Tuohai was stunned at the sight in front of him.

In front is a high platform, which is made of red crystal. The Liuguang glitters and emits crystal light under the light.

A red step leads to the top.

At the top of the high platform, there is a red throne.

"This is..."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhang Tuohai's heart turned sharply. He just wanted to say something, but he saw the little girl jump down from the chariot and slowly pick up the steps.

She walked up step by step, and flames came out of the steps and wrapped around her.

Those flames licked the girl's body constantly, and large pieces of the girl's skin fell. At the same time, black stickiness flowed outward. Those black stickiness were licked clean by the flame and burned into ashes without a trace.

Finally, the girl walked slowly to the throne, turned and sat down.

At this time, her body was crystal clear, and the red light in her body flowed like red crystal.

"You..."

"I am the embodiment of the villagers' hope, and those black are the evil thoughts accumulated over the ages. Before, everything was just a dream." the girl said slowly.

"Thank you for letting them know the consequences of going on and the way to the future. When they wake up tomorrow, they will pack their bags, go under the snow line, open up a new border village, guard there and repay their sins."

Zhang Tuohai did not expect that he finally met such a result.

At this time, he also vaguely understood that this is not the current border village, but the border village a long time ago, specifically the group dream of the border village a long time ago.

Zhang Tuohai's intrusion made them wake up to the consequences of continuing sacrifice, and finally made them give up sacrifice, return to the snow line and open up a new home.

"In a way, this is a good result."

Zhang Tuohai thought.

"This is what I should do. So, can I go out?" Zhang Tuohai asked.

"Of course, but we won't forget your kindness. This is a gift of thanks."

The girl said and threw a sheepskin scroll to Zhang Tuohai.
