Most of the pure tourists who watched the "Light and Shadow Snake" during the day have gone to the city to experience the nightlife of Mexico.
However, the number of people around the pyramid seemed not to decrease, but to be greater than during the day.
The faces of these people who had just arrived at night, illuminated by the waning moon, were all filled with indescribable solemnity and mystery, giving people a heavy sense of depression.
They stood or sat quietly like this, directly in front of the Kukulkan Pyramid. No one spoke, and they were all waiting quietly for a certain period of time to arrive.
Tens of thousands of people gathered together at midnight, but no one spoke. If this situation did not occur in the army, it would definitely be strange.
Even if someone coughs occasionally, they will try their best to suppress it because of this weird atmosphere.
Chu Yang, who was "talking by candlelight at night" with his Mexican sister, took out his mobile phone and glanced at it. Then he lifted the corner of the tent curtain and looked outside. He saw the top of the pyramid, which was five hundred meters away from the small tent. At this time, there was already
Faint light.
Chu Yang saw that it was definitely not modern lighting such as light bulbs, but someone had probably placed a torch on it.
It was quite mysterious... Chu Yang smiled, then turned to the blushing 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 Mr. Chu, but Marina is very obedient now: “Wait a minute, didn’t you see the people outside are waiting? The sacrificial ceremony will not start until you hear the sound of drums.
.Actually, I advise you not to go see it, because it’s very scary.”
"Scary? Do you mean it's scary when you kill the 'sacrifice'?"
Before Marina could answer, Chu Yang suddenly heard the sound of drums.
The sound of drums, a monotonous and dull sound, sounded faintly in the distance from the right side of the pyramid.
In the silent night, this monotonous drumbeat echoed in the ears of tens of thousands of people, as if every beat struck the apex of everyone's heart, and the whole body could not help but tremble slightly with the drumbeat.
After hearing the monotonous drum beat, Marina immediately sat up from the bed. Youran's face that was full of spring color just now turned into a serious one with a hint of fear: "The high priest and the saint, the protector,'
The sacrifices have already appeared, and the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin!"
"Then you stay here, I'll go out and take a look."
"No, John," Marina quickly grabbed Chu Yang's hand and shook her head repeatedly: "Don't go out, it's very scary. Anyway, the sacrificial ceremony is held at the top of the tower, and you can see it even from the tent.
of."
"Haha, have you forgotten what I told you during the day? I said I want you to experience my magic tonight. My magic..."
When Chu Yang said this, he glanced at the narrow steel wire bed, and then whispered in Marina's ear: "It's not just on the bed."
Marina's face turned red, and just when she was about to say, "You always talk but never mean it," Chu Yang had already broken away from her hand and walked out of the tent.
"John!" After whispering Chu Yang's English name, Marina immediately chased him out of the tent, but could no longer see the guy.
…
According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the moon that appears on the night before the end of the month on the 24th of each month is called the Lower Emei Moon, commonly known as the Last Quarter Moon.
The waning moon always rises after midnight. It is in the eastern sky. The moon faces east and exudes a faint yellow halo. It looks very strange and is especially suitable for occasions when you are pretending to be a ghost.
After looking up at the moon in the eastern sky, Chu Yang walked very quickly through the silent crowd. Occasionally he would step on someone's foot or touch someone's shoulder. No one paid him any attention. They just looked up.
He walked to the place where the drum beat sounded, with excited piety on his face.
Because the altar where the Mayans held sacrificial ceremonies was at the top of the pyramid, the number of people became smaller as they got closer to the pyramid.
No one likes to raise their head high, which also gave Chu Yang great convenience. After a while, he passed through the crowd and approached the pyramid.
At this time, with the sound of drums getting clearer and clearer, some red and yellow lights appeared in the direction of the rising moon.
In the lantern shadow, some people carrying lanterns similar to those of China, like zombies with bent knees, lined up in a strange formation, surrounded by six lifting chairs (the kind that are lifted by four people).
chair) walked towards the pyramid.
There are white curtains above these six chairs, so you can't tell whether the person sitting inside is a man or a woman.
As these people passed by the crowd, everyone covered their chests with their left hands and bowed to the chair, murmuring something in a low voice.
Looking at these people walking towards the pyramid, Chu Yang was certainly not stupid enough to climb up from the front of the pyramid to the top. He had to quickly walk around the north steps of the pyramid, came to the east, looked up, and then took a deep breath.
He breathed and started to climb up using his hands and feet.
The Pyramid of Kukulkan itself is in the wilderness. At this time, except for the moon in the east, the nearest light source is also a few hundred meters away.
And the most important thing is that tens of thousands of people are now looking at the six lifting chairs, and no one notices that anyone will move behind the pyramid.
Even a few people who noticed him thought that this guy might want to find a secluded place###, and they were still praying for him in their hearts: My child, if you want###, it's best to stay far away, otherwise it would be blasphemous#
## I won’t be able to get hard...
It should be very easy for a guy who can climb dozens of floors of high-rise buildings by following leaky pipes and rape his daughter to climb a sloping pyramid in a few minutes.
When Chu Yang was about to climb to the top of the pyramid from the back, he stopped and listened. After hearing nothing unusual, he slowly stretched out his head and looked towards the top.
The top of the entire trapezoidal pyramid has about thirty square meters of space, and the center is a flat ground that is about fourteen to fifteen square meters.
On the side of the flat ground close to the crowd, there is a rectangular wooden table, which looks like an enlarged coffee table.
Surrounding this square table, there are seven well-arranged torch stands, with arm-thick torches on the top. The dark yellow flames sway constantly with the night wind, but they will not go out, and I don’t know if they are.
Made of something.
Chu Yang felt that the enlarged coffee table was probably the altar.
In addition to being used for lighting, these seven torches should be placed according to the position of the Big Dipper.
Hey, these Mayans are really a bit mysterious. Even the torches are arranged like the Big Dipper, just like the Big Dipper array of ancient Chinese Taoism... Just when Chu Yang was lying on the back of the pyramid studying these things, it made people's hearts tremble.
The sound of drums meanders towards the top of the tower.
Before he saw the wooden table that was used as an altar, Chu Yang never thought about which family's daughter would be used as a sacrifice.
He climbed up just to watch this sacrificial ceremony up close, and then show his small face appropriately, and raise his arms and say "I love you" to the vast number of believers who worship Quetzalcoatl, in order to attract the audience.
In 2012, those grandsons, taking advantage of the fact that he was Quetzalcoatl, guarded tens of thousands of people and asked them about the whereabouts of Xie Yaotong.
Of course, what he wanted to see most was whether that 'light and shadow snake' would appear in the dark after showing off the tangled bracelet.
If he didn't appear, Chu Yang could conclude that what Sophie told him before was just Mr. Shakaku's nonsense.
But, what if it really happens?
Chu Yang didn't think about it.
To be honest, he really didn't want that kind of spectacle to happen, because if it did happen, it would mean that he was indeed the long-haired Quetzalcoatl.
Putting this problem aside for the moment, when he saw this altar, he suddenly understood: tonight there was probably a little girl who had fasted for 16 days, and was going to be sacrificed to him by these stupid people.
Mr. Chu Yang, the great Quetzalcoatl, felt deeply sorry for this and began to consider whether to stop these bastards who took other people's lives seriously.
If it had been before Chu Yang retired, he would have definitely ignored this incident.
A killer who has his head tied to his belt and who may be hanged in the air at any time, apart from money, all he values is his small circle of friends, who are willing to fight and suffer.
He has no interest in joining in the fun.
But it's different now. Chu Yang may not even be able to feel it himself. With the contact with Chai Murong, Hua Manyu, Zhou Shuhan and others, these selfish and profit-seeking habits have been subtly influenced by him, and he has begun to learn them.
He should look at the things in front of him like a normal person, otherwise he wouldn't care so much about Chai Murong's mental derailment.
Chu Yang was changing, even he didn't notice it, and he was changing towards a more humane side.
The dull and heart-tugging drum sound was getting closer and closer to the platform, and Chu Yang could already see the firelight in the direction of the steps.
But he didn't hide half of his head. Anyway, he was in a place where it was difficult to see even during the day.
Bang, bang, bang!
The dull drum beat finally sounded on the platform, and 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 exposed from his whole body, looked like a messenger from hell, walking up the platform with very regular steps.
Following the man in white robe came up a bearded man who was also wearing a white robe but without a white hat.
This bearded man had a fat face, which suddenly looked like a butcher's. The face shone brightly and greasyly under the light of the torch, but no expression could be seen.
Chu Yang could confirm from the long black iron nail in his hand that this guy should be the new high priest Marina mentioned: Juyeo.
After Juyeo stepped onto the last step, he did not immediately walk towards the altar. Instead, he raised his head and glanced around the platform for a few times, then bowed and took a step back to the side.
As Juyeo observed the surrounding environment, the drummer did not stop beating the drum, but the frequency of beating the drum was much slower, which seemed to match the pace of those who came up after him.
