Treasure identifying Golden Finger

"Yes, it does look a little similar!"    

Then, he looked down along the round wall.    

"Eh? What is this? Is it... a snake?"    

Faang Cheng suddenly noticed a strange pattern on the wall and asked in confusion.    

Hearing Faang Cheng's question, Yuan Yue immediately came forward and looked in the direction that Faang Cheng was looking! Following that, she also asked a question and turned her head to look at Faang Cheng who was standing beside her.    

"Is there really such a big snake? Look, this snake's body is probably thicker than the bodies of two adult men!"    

She also asked in surprise and confusion.    

"This is probably not a snake, but a python!"    

Faang Cheng explained to Yuan Yue.    

"Furthermore, it might even be a python that has already cultivated its spirit power and turned into a spirit! Look, aren't all the people around it worshipping it? These cows and sheep are all placed under its feet! They should be for it."    

Faang Cheng pointed at the scene described on the pattern.    

"Eh? What... What is this?"    

At this moment, Yuan Yue seemed to have noticed something that surprised her as she pointed at one of the diagrams on the wall and looked at Faang Cheng.    

"Where?"    

Faang Cheng immediately moved closer.    

"Here..."    

Yuan Yue pointed at the wall and pointed.    

"Look, isn't this a person? Or a young woman?"    

Hearing Yuan Yue's words, Faang Cheng immediately looked towards the wall. As expected, among the offerings to the python, he saw a young woman kneeling on the ground, hugging her own body and trembling all over.    

"It seems... it really is a woman!"    

Faang Cheng nodded his head in agreement with what Yuan Yue said.    

"Oh my god, they... are they using a young girl as a sacrifice to the python?"    

Being born in modern society, Yuan Yue had never seen such a thing before. She had encountered a lot of big scenes and had heard of people who were useful to offer sacrifices to some gremlins, but she still found it hard to accept the idea of using a young girl to offer sacrifices to the big python.    

"It seems to be so. This girl is one of the offerings!"    

Faang Cheng felt that Yuan Yue's words should be correct.    

"Tell me... What do you think the end result of this girl is?"    

Yuan Yue walked closer to the wall and examined the portrait of the girl on it. She then asked Faang Cheng in a heavy tone.    

However, Faang Cheng did not answer her. Instead, he remained silent. In fact, they all knew very well that there could only be one outcome for that young girl. She would be swallowed by the python and die in pain and fear.    

"So pitiful..."    

Yuan Yue had seen many pitiful people, but she still felt that this girl was very pitiful. At such a young age, not only was she not killed with a single blow, but she was also chewed to death by that terrifying creature. Just thinking about it made her feel that it was too terrifying!    

Furthermore, as a sacrifice, she not only suffered physical pain, but also the trampling of her personality and dignity! She was placed together with the cattle, sheep, and livestock as an offering to the python. It was as if she was not even treated as a human. In Yuan Yue's heart, this was something even more difficult than letting her die.    

"People at that time were like this. In their eyes, as long as they could get the corresponding benefits from the gods, not to mention sacrificing living people, they could even give away their own family or children. This girl... can only lament that she was born in that era! "    

Faang Cheng could not help but comfort her when he saw Yuan Yue's sympathetic expression.    

"I'm glad that I didn't live in that era, but at the same time, I feel sorry for them. I shouldn't be so lucky."    

With a sigh, Yuan Yue turned her head around and no longer looked at all the pictures on the wall. The more she looked at them, the more worried she became.    

"Well, let's see if there is anything special here. If there isn't, we'll leave first and continue forward!"    

Faang Cheng looked around and realized that this was only a circular area without any other decorations. The only thing special about this place was the patterns on the wall!    

"Alright, let's go!"    

Yuan Yue nodded and turned around to walk towards the entrance of another corridor.    

However, just as she turned around and took a step forward, she seemed to have heard a strange sound, as if two extremely heavy objects were rubbing against each other.    

"What sound is that...?"    

"Be careful..."    

Without waiting for Yuan Yue to finish her sentence, Faang Cheng suddenly rushed forward and hugged Yuan Yue in his arms before flying to a safe spot on the ground. By the time the two of them regained their senses and looked at the center of the round sacrificial ground, they discovered that the ground there had already cracked. Below... There was actually another huge tomb. There were at least a dozen stone coffins placed neatly in the tomb.    

"Oh my god, so this is the real tomb?"    

Yuan Yue exclaimed in surprise.    

"The tomb chamber is under the sacrificial field, so it makes sense!"    

Faang Cheng walked to the edge and looked down at the tomb below.    

"Come, let's go down and take a look!"    

Yuan Yue walked up fearlessly and was about to jump down when she was immediately stopped by Faang Cheng.    

"Be careful!"    

He grabbed Yuan Yue's hand and looked at the underground tomb cautiously. After making sure that there were no living creatures inside and no danger, he pulled Yuan Yue along and jumped into the underground tomb.    

When they jumped down, they found that this tomb was much larger than the one they had seen from the top. The surrounding area was spread out a few times, and it was many times bigger than the sacrificial site above. The number of sarcophaguses here was not clear. From above, only a dozen or so sarcophaguses could be seen. However, when they came down, they realized that there were far more!    

"The ancestors of the Yun Family are quite good. There is not a single tomb for a single person to sleep in, but the entire family is sleeping in this large shared room. It's really quite interesting!"    

Yuan Yue looked around and couldn't help but feel a little curious.    

"They can't be considered a whole family. There... seems to be only the men of the Yun Family!"    

Looking at the words on the tombstones, Faang Cheng realized that they seemed to be filled with men - the eldest son of the Yun Family and a few other male descendants of the Yun Family.    

"Men? Where is that woman? Could it be that the women of the Yun Family are not allowed to enter the ancestral tomb of the Yun Family? This custom... is really a feudal tradition!"    

Yuan Yue shook her head helplessly.    

"It doesn't feel like it. It's also possible... There is a tomb with all the tombstones of the women of the Yun family in a certain place!"    

Faang Cheng said in a teasing yet serious tone.    

"It's also possible..."    

Yuan Yue nodded in agreement.
