Chapter 173 Altar

"Maybe it took a long time, the paint fell off?" Guo Xiaohong didn't seem to be very clear about this question, but it was not the first time that students have asked this question, so when asked, the answer was very fast.

"Impossible, the paint used to draw this mural must be the same material. How could it be that the paint that only paints the eyes, nose and mouth fell off? I suspect that it was not painted at the beginning." Some students put forward different opinions. After all, they are all people who are engaged in art design and still have a good understanding of this aspect.

"Well, it makes sense." Tour guide Guo Xiaohong looked careless and casual, as the students guessed and said whatever they said. She came to complete the tour guide task and made money, so she didn't have the heart to think about these boring things.

"Sister Xiaohong, what are so many faceless people painting on the mural?" Another student looked at Guo Xiao

Hong mentioned it, and the students were always curious and talkative.

"This is probably a sacrifice in the ancestral hall, right?" Guo Xiaohong looked unsure and casually said to the student.

"Impossible, this is not a dead person, the people in the painting are all young people." A student pointed it out immediately.

"The face is gone, how do you know it is a young man?" Some students refuted the student just now.

"Look at clothes, hair and height."

"Well, it makes sense to start with it and haven't seen it yet. From this perspective, it's true that there are young people, no elderly people, and no children."

"It's about the same age as us..."

"Why are so many young people painted in ancestral hall murals? And they don't paint faces?" The students have more and more questions.

"Although the ancestral hall is a place where tribe members worship ancestors and sages, it also has other uses. When the grandchildren of the tribe are engaged in marriage, funeral, birthday, and wedding events, they can also use these ancestral halls. The relatives of the tribe discuss important affairs within the tribe, and they will also use the ancestral hall as a gathering place. The young people in the painting may be painted on them during the coming-of-age ceremony or wedding and funeral."

Seeing that the tour guide was silent, a student who seemed very knowledgeable tried to help everyone speculate.

"Then why not draw faces?" "Maybe people who draw are not good at drawing faces..."

"Your statement is too irrelevant to the brushwork of this mural. You are definitely not the kind of person who is a beginner to paint..."

“…”

While students were talking about murals, Lu Yang was studying these murals very carefully. According to Lu Yang's previous understanding and his speculation, he felt that the reason why murals did not paint faces was not because the paint had fallen, nor because the painters were not good at drawing human faces, but... These people were just like Han Cheng and Zhou Ling, with no faces!

At one moment, Lu Yang felt a daze in front of him as if he felt that the person in the mural was trying to break free from the wall and wanted to get out.

Lu Yang shivered suddenly, and then he woke up again. He took a few breaths and stood firmly on the wall.

There is nothing unusual about the people in the mural, they are just painted on the wall...

"This is the place where the people of Shanding Village hold sacrifices. This stone platform is called the human-shaped altar."

Guo Xiaohong took the students out of the ancestral hall and came to the small square outside the ancestral hall. Guo Xiaohong pointed to the stone platform in the center and continued her tour guide's explanation.

There should be some small designs on the edge of the altar, but they were all destroyed. In the center is a stone platform with some words that no one knows and some patterns. There is a human-shaped pit in the middle of the stone platform, which just allows a person to lie inside.

Although it is a pit, there are water leakage holes below the pit, so the heavy rain did not cause water accumulation in the pit. In addition, the sunlight exposed to the sun for a whole morning, the traces of the pit being exposed to the rain have already dried up.

"Why should the altar be cultivated like this?"

"Do you use living people for sacrifice?"

"You see this pattern, you should have recorded the people and placed them on this altar for sacrifice."

"Can this picture prove that the person was recorded and thrown on it?"

"Look! This little man has a lot of children under his belly, and a circle is drawn under his belly............. He must have taken off all his hair..."

"Haha, you're so yin~dàng!"

"You are just yin~dàng! I'll be serious..."

"I'm very serious haha...you take off and lie on it."

“…………………”

The altar, mysterious text patterns, and mysterious human-shaped pits are enough to attract the attention of students. Therefore, this altar pit is the place where the students who have visited the most photos taken by the students. The students in the team cannot avoid the vulgarity. They lie one by one into the four human-shaped pits and put on various shapes for other students to help take photos. Even Yiya and Hu Yulan are no exception.

"Yinyin, you can also lie in and ask me to take a photo for you." Yiya held a camera and pushed the "Lin Yin...

Lu Yang stood beside the altar stone platform and glanced at the human-shaped pit, and suddenly felt breathless.

"Yinyin?" Yiya urged "Linyin, Yi'er, everyone finished the filming, just waiting for "Linyin, after the filming, the team will leave the ancestral hall and go to the next inspection point.

"I won't take a photo." Lu Yang shook his head, his face looking pale.

"It's such a rare opportunity to take a photo." Hu Yulan walked over and pushed Lin Yin, a handful.

Lu Yang was about to speak up and say something, the next moment, he found himself suddenly lying in the human-shaped pit of the altar. He was shocked and quickly wanted to sit up, but his body was extremely heavy and he could not move no matter how hard he struggled.

The laughter and noise of the students around him was still there, but they became extremely dull and far away. Lu Yang opened his mouth and shouted for help, but he couldn't shout anything. He seemed to have become extremely tired, and he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth.

Time seemed to have begun to fast forward, and the sun dimmed in an instant and finally disappeared. The day quickly turned into the night, everything around became extremely quiet, and the noise of the students disappeared, leaving only Lu Yang alone lying in the human-shaped pit of the altar, struggling but unable to escape from this shallow pit.

Some messy footsteps sounded, and they made a wild beast-like "huffing" sound, as if they were quickly approaching the altar. The target was undoubtedly Lu Yang in the human-shaped pit of the altar stone platform!

But Lu Yang was still trapped in a human-shaped pit and could not move. The panic in his heart had reached its peak,...

The sound of footsteps and "huff," the sound had already arrived at the altar. Lu Yang, who had not yet adapted to the darkness, only saw a black shadow shaking in front of him, and then something sickle-like approached him. At this moment, "Click, a sound, a lightning flashed through the sky, instantly illuminating everything around Lu Yang...

The students' laughter and noise suddenly came back. Yiya was holding a camera and facing "Lin Yin" lying in a human-shaped pit, obviously helping her to take photos as a souvenir.

"Okay, let's see how the photo is?" Yiya walked over and pointed the camera screen in her hand towards Lu Yang in the human-shaped pit.

Lu Yang quickly sat up and looked around in great shock. It was still daylight, and the sun was hanging high in the sky. Except for Yiya who was still at the altar, "Lin Yin, and Hu Yulan, everyone else had already prepared to go to the next inspection point with the tour guide Guo Xiaohong.

"Hey! You three, hurry up!" A student shouted to this side.

Lu Yang was a little stunned. How did he lie in the pit just now? Did he lose his short-term memory?

Close your eyes, the screen of the weird computer appeared clearly in front of you, and all the weird cards are still in a state that can be used...

"Yinyin?Yinyin? What's wrong with you?" Yiya's voice.

"I'm fine, let's go." Lu Yang slid down the altar stone platform with his body and waved his hand to Yiya.

"Collection! All gathering! The leader of each group counts his own team members! Lin Yin, check if everyone in each group is here!" male counselor Chen Jinhu shouted loudly to the venue with a loudspeaker.

It was almost five o'clock, and the sky suddenly turned, the sun disappeared, and some mountain winds started to rise. The sky turned dark, because I was worried that it would be difficult to walk on the mountain road after it was completely dark, and today's inspection ended early and all the students gathered to return to the mountain top hotel and came to do free sketching tomorrow.

Before leaving the school, including on the way, the two counselors kept emphasizing the inspection discipline, so when the students heard the male counselor's loudspeaker shouting, they all gathered at the entrance of the village. However, the two counselors and the leaders of each group counted and counted, and there were still four students, two men and two women. No matter how counselor Chen shouted loudly with the loudspeaker, they never saw them coming to the entrance of the village. It was soon five o'clock. Looking at the increasingly heavy sky, the two counselors were a little anxious.

"Why are these students so naughty? You must not stay in Shanding Village on a thunderstorm night!" Gu Zheng, the older male tour guide in his fifties, muttered, but no one noticed his muttering.

"Lin Yin, you and Gong Jian took a few classmates to the hillside over there to find out if the four of them ran over there." Gong Xue called Lin Yin over and pointed to the hill behind Shanding Village and explained to her.

"Don't go to that, there is a cemetery on it." The older tour guide Gu Zheng hurried over to stop her when he heard Gong Xue's words.
