Chapter 85 Yin and Yang Tower

Feng Chunsheng said, ”Look at that tower.”

I looked ahead and found that there was a tower. The tower was tall and made of wood, with a few strange patterns carved on it. It did not look like typical Chinese architecture.

On the door of the tower w a variety of beautiful patterns.

The patterns depicted a person surrounded by a group of other people, walking on a cross-shaped scaffold. Their faces were full of fanaticism. At the same time, there was a face behind the scaffold.

”The people of the Miao territory always liked to be mysterious,” Feng Chunsheng said.

I shook my head and said this pattern was not so simple.

He hurriedly turned around and asked me: “You know this one?”

I said the tattoos of the Miao territory had a history of many years. A lot of tattooists would carefully delve into their patterns, which were a kind of ancient witch mystery. Sometimes, literary and artistic young people were interested in them.

I once gave a tattoo to a big company boss's female secretary.

The pattern of the tattoo was a poison magic cup with a golden silkworm inside. This pattern was famous in the Miao territory.

Then I spoke of the beautiful pattern on the door.

I said, “In fact, this pattern represents the witch sacrifice of the Miao territory - a blood sacrifice.”

In the legend of the Miao territory, when they faced a devil, unlike the Taoists, who would try to find a way to suppress it, they chose one among them to be sacrificed. That person was carried to the edge of the scaffold. Then the tribe used a knife cut open the neck of the sacrifice and let his blood flow out.

The rest of the group, all kneeling on the ground, waited for the demon to consume the blood of the sacrifice and leave.

Some time ago, I gave a tattoo to Li Muzi, a regular girl from the Miao territory. She knew a few of the rituals of the Miao territory.

Feng Chunsheng gave me a thumbs up, ”Damn, Shui; you’ve learned quite well.”

Then, he slowly walked to the front of the house and knocked on the door.

He said, ”This door makes a hollow sound. It was made a long time ago.”

”Does it?” I knocked too, and confirmed that he was right.

He said one of the five mirrors of The Five Elements Defeat Evils, was hidden inside the building, so we had to go in.

However, the tower was built there. It looked creepy, and was probably even more frightening on the inside.

I let Mimi and Liao Min wait for us outside. They were girls; I didn’t want to be responsible if something happened to them in there.

Mimi's voice trembled when she said that if we went in without them, she and Liao Min would be even more frightened.

All right.

Then I'll have to take Liao Min and Mimi along.

The two women, holding onto my sleeves from either side, slowly went inside.

Creak.

The door opened and we were faced with a very strong stench.

I smelled it and felt a little uncomfortable. Nevertheless, I covered my nose and went on.

Feng Chunsheng followed me.

We only took a few steps when the suddenly slammed behind us on its own.

Bang.

I hurried went back to the door and tried to open it, but couldn't. I had lots of goose bumps.

”Open the door, open the door.” Mimi and Liao Min screamed.

The sound of singing came faintly from behind us as we were wrestling with the door.

That song sounded like songs of the Miao territory. I could not understand any words.

At the same time, I heard the sound of footsteps. Someone was walking in the tower.

I felt scared.

I heard the voice of the man walking up there, and it seemed to have come from within my head.

”Damn it.” I kicked the door hard. I wanted to get out of the tower as fast as possible.

Feng Chunsheng stopped me. ”Don't be scared. Shui, this is not a demon. When demons walk there is no sound, so don't worry.”

I thought of the words of Liu the Sixth: in the ghost business, I should be bold but cautious.

I hastened to control my mood and said to him, ”Brother Chun, what should I do?”

”What else can you do? Take out the mirror.” He said, ”The mirror of The Five Elements Defeat Evils will produce very strong evil spirits if it cannot defeat them.”

He paused, and said that the door being locked might have something to do with the mirror.

We slowly walked deeper into the tower; very carefully, but also gripped with horror.

The tower had a total of three floors, and soon we were on the third floor.

As soon as we reached the third floor, we almost collapsed down the stairs in fright.

We saw nine stumps standing on the third floor.

There was a person tied to each stump.
