Chapter 1426 Human Head Altar
Seeing the flag that still had not lost its color, everyone looked at each other. The faces of Cangyun disciples such as Ye Xiaochuan, Du Chun, Ning Xiangruo, Yang Jiujiu, etc. suddenly became very exciting, ranging from surprise to astonishment.
Even if they found a dragon's skeleton in the cave, they were even more surprised that they didn't find the sign of the Thousand Faces Gate.
After a while, Ning Xiangruo came to her senses and said word by word: "According to legend, the Thousand-Faced Sect, which was born in Bashu, Zhongtu more than two thousand years ago, originated from the Shiwan Mountains in southern Xinjiang. I didn't expect this rumor to be true. Yes, this mountain should be the Qianmianmen’s stronghold in southern Xinjiang.”
Ye Xiaochuan said: "It hasn't been that long. Judging from the daily utensils in the cave, there were still people living here at least more than ten years ago." Yang Ling'er, the saint of Piaomiao Pavilion, said: "Thousand-faced Gate? Thousand-faced Gate is not Did he disappear from the Central Plains overnight? I heard that he was uprooted by his enemies decades ago. Everyone from the sect master to ordinary disciples died that night. Could it be that there were still remnants of the Thousand Faces Sect who escaped? Day of birth? Hide
Entering this hundred thousand mountains? "
Everyone nodded slightly, and they also guessed the same. Regarding the Cangyun Sect's annihilation of the Thousand Faces Sect, not much was known among the young disciples. Ning Xiangruo and Yang Jiujiu were kidnapped by Liu Jin Yanfen and brought to Yunmeng Villa, so the two of them knew more.
Since Liujin Yanfen could escape from the catastrophe of the Thousand Faces Gate, others would naturally escape.
No wonder the Thousand-Faced Sect has disappeared in Middle-earth over the years. It turns out that these remnants have hidden deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
If Gesang hadn't been brought to Tengger Mountain by mistake this time, he would never have discovered that the secret of the Thousand Faces Gate was hidden here.
Ye Xiaochuan was worried. Judging from the traces of Qianmianmen disciples who lived here, there were not many disciples who lived here more than ten years ago. They left here one after another more than ten years ago, and they must have returned. Arrived in Middle-earth.
So where did these disciples of the Thousand Faces Sect hide after they returned to Middle-earth? I guess most of them are at Cangyun Gate.
Two days ago, Ye Xiaochuan asked Du Chun to secretly keep an eye on Li Wenwen and investigate Liu Tong's details. Now it seems that his thoughts are simple.
The hatred of destroying the family is irreconcilable, and the remnants of the Thousand Faces Clan have been dormant here for decades, just for revenge. Now that the cave is empty, it means that their revenge plan has begun.
Originally, Ye Xiaochuan thought that among the hundreds of Cangyun disciples who came to Southern Xinjiang this time, there were at most one or two Qianmian Sect disciples. Now it seems that the situation is very bad. There may be more disciples hidden among them. . Because the Thousand Faces Sect was involved, Ye Xiaochuan felt that he might be able to find out more secrets of the Thousand Faces Sect's disguises. After discussing with Du Chun and Ning Xiangruo, he ordered the righteous disciples to search every cave in Tenggela Mountain one by one. At the same time, The news that the Qianmianmen's lair will be discovered in southern Xinjiang will be spread by Feihe.
The way of the book was passed back to Cangyun.
The righteous disciples searched all the caves and found no trace of human beings except for some wild beasts and poisonous snakes entrenched here.
Through search and analysis, it was found that there were at least hundreds of disciples of the Thousand Faces Sect living here more than ten years ago. It seems that they never returned to Middle-earth after they left.
They walked quietly and did not look messy. Although many of the daily necessities in most of the stone caves were covered with dust or rotten, they were well preserved. Even the bedding on the bed was neatly folded. It was obvious that they were there. Leave well prepared.
In the innermost cave, a disciple discovered an altar.
After Ye Xiaochuan and others learned the news, they rushed over immediately. The altar is located in the deepest part of the entire mountain cave. It is a semi-artificial and semi-natural underground cave. There is a black stone statue at the entrance of the cave. It looks weird. I don’t know what kind of monster it is. Because of the age, the stone statue is very damaged and can only be seen. The lower body looks like a snake's tail.
The arms and upper body were also destroyed.
This stone sculpture is very old. It should not be a product of the Thousand Faces Gate, but a cultural relic of the ancient shaman tribe who lived in the Tengla Mountains.
Walking into the altar cave, Ye Xiaochuan and others suddenly felt as if their hearts were pricked by needles at the same time, and their bodies twitched slightly.
The Altar Cave is quite large. There are several slowly flowing water lines on the surrounding rock walls, forming a circular moat-like pool around the edge of the cave.
The water pool wraps the entire altar in the middle, and there are many raised stone piers on the water for people to walk around. The tall altar is made of many black stones, with a total of four floors. The area becomes smaller with each upward floor, resembling the shape of a pyramid.
What made Ye Xiaochuan and others tremble suddenly was that there were countless skeletons in this altar, and all of them were human heads, with no other parts of the skeleton.
Those human heads were piled up throughout the altar cave, even on the altar, forming several piles of skulls that looked like Beijing. A rough estimate was that there were at least tens of thousands of human heads here.
Some female disciples felt a little nauseous when they saw so many empty skeletons piled together, and some couldn't help but retched a few times.
Ye Xiaochuan said: "This altar should have been set up by the ancient witch clan back then. These skeletons..."
Before he finished speaking, Gesang continued: "The ancient witch tribe has never had a tradition of sacrificing living people. I have heard the great wizard talk about the Thousand Faces Sect before. These heads are probably caused by the Thousand Faces Sect."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "How to say?"
Kelsang said: "What do disciples of the Thousand Faces Sect need to do to disguise themselves? Of course, they have different looks and different faces. There are only heads here and no bodies and limbs, which is enough to show that these heads are all disciples of the Qianmen Sect learning to disguise themselves." Killed by magic."
Everyone was a little scared at first, but after Gesang's words, everyone's mind immediately thought of those disciples of the Thousand Faces Sect, cutting off the heads of living people, and squatting on the ground to cut the heads of those people. Peel off his face and put it on his own face.
As for those heads that had lost their skin and turned into bloody pieces, they were casually put aside by those cruel Thousand Faces Sect disciples.
"vomit!"
Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and vomited while holding on to the rock wall.
Ye Xiaochuan asked Gesang not to say anything. It was so scary. Do you think he would be happy if he had to vomit all the girls?
Gesang shrugged and made an indifferent expression. As a native of Southern Xinjiang, she naturally wanted to protect the honor of her ancestors. Although she was not sure whether these heads were related to the ancient witch clan, for the sake of the reputation of her ancestors in Southern Xinjiang, she unceremoniously labeled them a butcher. He took Qianmianmen as the scapegoat and tried his best to argue that the Jingguan built with human heads had nothing to do with the ancient witch clan.
