Chapter 3 Sacred Tree Altar

 The Wang family are really not that smart, they are very good at using other people's faces.

Zhang Zhu very doubted whether his face had been copied by them.

The face in front of him was so deceptive that Zhang Zhuxun couldn't help but watch his familiar face turn into a mess.

Simply use your materialization ability to create a human skin mask and cover the modified face.

Well, it finally doesn’t look so uncomfortable.

In line with the principle of not littering, Zhang Zhuxun easily carried the body onto his shoulders, turned on the fog lights, and continued down the stairs.

The bronze sacred tree is hollow inside, and the inner wall also has grooves with cloud and thunder patterns used for sacrifice by the ancients. However, the function of this layer of grooves is to reverse the blood on the outer layer, which has the same function as a water pump.

Zhang Zhu walked quickly and walked several hundred meters down the spiral staircase. At this time, he had entered the underground.

No one knows how deep this bronze tree is, but there is a small bronze door two meters high and more than one meter wide hidden in the complicated cloud and thunder patterns on the inner wall of the underground.

The sacrificial blood tank carved on the small door is connected with the lines next to it, making it difficult for people to notice.

However, these lines are actually independent and can only be revealed if enough blood is dripped on them.

However, the system is obviously familiar with this place. The last time Zhang Zhuxun could find this place, it benefited from the system’s guidance.

The last time Zhang Shuxun had to drain his own blood in order to open the door, but this time the corpse he carried came in handy. He originally planned to use it instead with pig blood purchased at the slaughter market.

Since the Wang family has sent people here, it proves that they have indeed found something through special channels.

However, Zhang Shuxun found no trace of opening on it, and the smell of blood was so light that it was almost negligible.

He felt that either the guy didn't find the flaw here and went all the way down the stairs, or he found it but was not fully prepared and let Zhang Zhuxun get killed when he planned to return.

Blood dripped from bottom to top, quickly filling the grooves. After the clouds and thunder patterns were soaked in blood, they looked a bit weird under the dim light.

There was a rumble and the sound of a series of chains being dragged. After a moment, the small bronze door suddenly vibrated, and a dull friction sound was heard. The door retracted backwards, revealing a gap as wide as one person.

Zhang Zhuoxun carried the body, stepped over the stairs, and entered the corridor inside the door.

As soon as I walked in, there was a clicking sound behind me. When I turned around, I saw that the small bronze door had been closed.

Yes, this is a one-time entry and exit permit.

The space in the corridor is much larger, and there are lamp posts containing unburned lamp oil on both rows of walls.

But the oil inside was the kind of corpse oil used to light sky lanterns in ancient times. It was sallow, black, and very evil. Zhang Shuxun had no interest in lighting it.

The sound of gentle footsteps was particularly clear in this empty corridor. The corridor was not long, only about a hundred meters long by visual inspection. It passed two closed stone gates on the way.

The last time I came here, the system said that it contained the coffins of two people with very special status, but it did not specify who they were.

Zhang Zhuxun felt that apart from the ancient tribe related to the system, he could not think of anyone else who could silence the system.

He has no interest in this. Anyway, when the time comes, the system will naturally say what needs to be said.

There is still a stone door at the end of the corridor, but the carvings on this stone door are very special. It is another kind of tattoo on Zhang Zhuxun's body. The lines on the two doors are symmetrical to each other, forming a three-legged bird pattern.
If Wu Xiaoxie were here, he would definitely recognize that the patterns on this stone door were clearly the wall painting he saw in the illusion after he was knocked unconscious by the tentacles of the Octopus on the plank road.

Stone carvings and murals.

Wu Xiaoxie later told Zhang Shuxun about the illusion he saw in the Qinling Mountains during a casual chat. He himself was doubtful about that experience, and asked Zhang Shuxun where he had been at that time, but Zhang Shuxun casually said

He prevaricated and did not tell the truth.

In fact, what Wu Xiaoxie saw in the illusion was basically what Zhang Zhu was going through when he sacrificed. After the body abandoned most of the blood and entered a state of suspended animation, a kind of sacrifice at the level of consciousness was illusory and unreal.

It’s not an illusion.

But I don’t know why, but Wu Xiaoxie’s consciousness was also involved. Maybe it’s because Xiaozhen’s physique is really special?

Hu thought for a while and then changed the topic.

The mechanism in front of him was quite simple for Zhang Zhuxun. The one he built in the basement of his house was a replica of this mechanism.

But that one is simpler and does not require blood. The one in front of you needs to drip blood on the joints in the order of the pattern carving. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is in the order of the spread of the red flame tattoo on Zhang Chuxun's body.

After one operation, the thick stone door slowly rose upwards.

Inside is a magnificent hall built from a natural cave. The floor is a flat slate made of black stone. The surrounding stone walls are carved with murals related to sacrifice and migration. The specially treated murals have passed through the years.

After the baptism, the color is still bright.

The only special thing is that the people participating in the sacrifices on the murals are all wearing white robes, and their faces are hidden by the cloaks. Only the leader-looking man standing on the high platform can see a dark gold face.

Textured mask.

In the center of the hall is a huge altar. There is a moat-like channel three to four meters wide on the ground around the altar. It is very deep and cannot be seen to the bottom at a glance.

The water in the canal is hot spring water connected to the outside. The water vapor is steaming. In the darkness, the altar in the center looks hazy, giving people a strange and mysterious feeling for no reason.

The water looks clear, but in fact there are very small, transparent insects hidden in it, and their traces cannot be observed with the naked eye.

This kind of bug has sharp teeth and has poisonous properties. It doesn't hurt at all when it bites people, and it can eat your flesh bit by bit without you realizing it.

When a large number of these bugs crawl on your body, they devour them at an alarming rate. By the time you react, your internal organs may be unable to hold them back and flow out.

If it weren't for the special blood in Zhang Shuxun's body, he would have suffered a disaster last time. This is a real dead body, not even a single bone will be left for you.

These bugs are always in a state of suspended animation, and just a drop of blood can wake them all up.

Zhang Zhuxun took the bodies of the Wang family and threw them into the canal. In an instant, the water surface started to churn like boiling water.

The blood spread instantly, and in less than half a cup of tea, the body that had just been dropped was gone.
