Chapter 1016: Horn of the Dead
"Don't ink it, just throw it into the well!" Su Yi in the well urged in a strong voice.
"I'm really a three-year-old child, isn't it?" I looked at the well, the water reflected the face of the plain clothes, I sneered and said: "It's not once or twice that I have dealt with you, I still know you very well, you are an unscrupulous person, if I throw things down from the well, I am afraid that you will kill them immediately, the things are in my hands, they are safer." ”
"Wow, it's finally dawned. Su Yi sneered and said, "Okay, let that little boy bring you over and trade in person." ”
Then the surface of the water was flowered, and Suyi's face was gone.
I frowned slightly, is this little boy in the same group as Suyi?
Puzzled, I stepped out of the human skin yurt and then walked to my brother, who was still holding the little boy in my brother's arms.
I walked up to my brother and looked at the little boy, and he asked me, "How is it going, what's going on inside?"
"There were a lot of braids, and there was a well in which people's faces could be reflected, and I saw plain clothes, grandpa and fat men in it, but they were all illusory. I replied to my brother, still staring at the little boy, and I said, "Little friend, I know you can speak, please tell me, what the hell is going on?"
My brother was also taken aback and looked at the little boy in his arms.
The little boy shook his head, this move made me a little excited, at least much better than before he didn't communicate with anyone, at least he communicated with me.
"I'm going to save people, my grandfather and friends, they are very important to me. I took a deep breath and said, "That Suyi, you know her, right?" that woman asked you to take us to her, where is she? How could you be with her?"
The little boy looked at me for a minute, and I saw that he had been hesitating, not knowing whether he really couldn't say it, or if he was afraid of Suyi, but he saw his throat move, pursed his lips, and then in a hoarse and penetrating voice, if the ghost screamed, she said: "The life of our whole people is in her hands, and if we don't give in, we will die, just like these dead ancestors." ”
"You can actually speak Chinese?" I looked at him with wide eyes.
"Don't look like I'm a six-year-old boy, I'm actually older than both of you combined. The little boy came out again, startling me and my brother.
The two of us looked the little boy up and down, and when the little boy saw that we were surprised, he said: "My body has been manipulated and will never grow up, and I will always look like a child on the outside, but my mind will grow up, but I used to be controlled by others, so I can only be a dumb person and close myself off." ”
"Who?" I asked, surprised.
"It's none of your business. The little boy refused to answer, and there must have been a reason for not speaking.
"Then you just said that these are your ancestors, and what is going on?" I pointed to the faces on the yurt.
"Well, yes, these are the dead people of our tribe, some die of natural old age, some are killed, some die of disease, but all adult males, their faces and braids will be sewn here, but the bones will remain in the bone room of the tribe. The little boy sighed and said.
"Why do you want to do this?" I don't understand at all, the Chinese pay attention to entering the soil for safety, isn't the grassland so particular?
"This is a kind of witchcraft in the grassland, using the connection between the bodies of the dead to make a spell, also called the horn of the undead, there was no telephone before, there was no such developed communication, and the wars between the grassland tribes are very frequent, the tribes often take advantage of the night to carry out sneak attacks, and once the sneak attack, it is easy to succeed, because there is no castle, only yurts, it is difficult to resist the enemy's attack. The little boy explained: "In the past, communication basically relied on eagles, and well-trained eagles would help transmit information, but the steppe people were good at riding and shooting, and before launching an attack, they would shoot the eagles in the sky first, and they all did this with each other, and it may take three or five years to cultivate an eagle, but it only takes thirty seconds to shoot, so this way of eagle communication is not feasible, and this kind of horn of the dead came into being, just like the wolf smoke of you Chinese." ”
"Wolf smoke?" I looked at him puzzled.
"Didn't you see the faces of the people in the well just now?" said the little boy, "Actually, she is still in the bone room of our tribe, including the sound and video are transmitted through the water below, and the connection between the two ends depends on the faces and hair of these undead, and the other point is the bone room built by their bones." ”
I gasped for air, there was such a wicked way of communication.
"So the people in the past came up with such a way, the scouts found out the news, and they would pass it back to the tribe through this well, so if someone wants to sneak attack, this side has already passed the news back, and the other side has either been ready to face the battle a long time ago, or has already evacuated. The little boy continued.
"I see. My brother and I looked at each other and it dawned on me.
"Then she just told me to throw something into the well, and it will flow down the current, so your tribe is below the current?" I asked rhetorically.
"No, as long as it is thrown into the well, no matter where it flows, the people on the other side of the bone room can know its exact location, and they are not afraid of not finding it, of course, with the power of the undead. The little boy continued.
I frowned slightly, this is going to be difficult.
If I go by stealth, plain clothes can find me, grandpa and the fat man are in her hands, if they fight, I will throw a rat bogey.
I paced back and forth, and at this point, I had no idea.
I simply took out the flying saucer and pressed it.
That light flashed, and Yuelan, the old dog, and the sister-in-law were all released.
"Xiao Fan. "When the three men saw me, they gathered around me.
This startled the little boy.
I looked at these three people, then turned to look at my brother again, and said, "Brother, you and your sister-in-law will take Wu Mian back to Dafeng Teahouse in a while." ”
"What are you doing?" my brother asked, puzzled.
"If the flying saucer is traded, you definitely can't be inside, but outside, you and your sister-in-law are very dangerous, so don't go, take Wu Mian back to Dafeng Teahouse, I and Yuelan, and the old dog will go." "I told him about my decision.
The sister-in-law thought for a while and said, "It's okay, let's not drag them down." ”
Yuelan walked over, took my hand, and comforted: "It's okay, let's two join hands, I don't believe in fighting her, I was indeed invincible before, because I just got the Tianwu Ding, but after this period of fusion, coupled with the tenfold acceleration of the spirit gathering array in the flying saucer, now I have a preliminary mastery, and I still have a lot of information about this battle." ”
"That's good. I nodded in relief.
