Torches were placed in the walls of the cave, and the flames danced brightly, casting jagged shadows in the cave.

Dunzhu leaned over and propped his palms on the ground, his left ear pressed against the ground, and his expression was extremely focused.

The other four people in the cave were standing or sitting, and all of them made no sound.

Until Dunzhu got up, the second patriarch Wangdui raised his half-drooping eyelids.

"No movement?" Elder Gatso was the first to speak.

Dunzhu moved his body, he listened to what the people over there said for as long as he wanted, and after lying on his stomach for a long time, although the Snow Clan was not afraid of cold, his body would also be stiff: "It should be all asleep, and the girl from the Bailing Clan also went back to the cave." ”

Wangdui sat cross-legged on the ground with a fur blanket, and quietly asked, "How much have you heard?"

The distance is so close, and it is quiet at night, with the ability of Dunzhu, it should not miss much.

Donzhu nodded respectfully and recounted all the conversations he had heard, without missing anything.

Gyatso changed color when he heard this: "They know that we may hear it, but they dare to say anything?"

The three young Snow Clans didn't dare to speak.

"They just said it to us on purpose. Wangdui's eyelids drooped again, his face was wrinkled and he couldn't see the depth of emotion, and his tone was flat and straightforward, "If they don't say anything, we will only be more suspicious." said that, it seems that people are also capable. ”

Elder Gatso was still a little unsure in his heart.

People see you through, and then they don't hide their thoughts and calculations directly in front of themselves, even if they don't have the intention of slapping their faces, they inexplicably have a feeling of slapping their faces.

"In that case, let them go and find the mother lotus by themselves, it depends on whether they have the ability to do it! I'm afraid that even if they find the main branch, Tenzin's kid will not be able to get their wish!" Elder Gyatso sneered.

"Tenzin is a junior, but he is also a patriarch. It's time for you to change your temper. Wangdui said lightly.

Gyatso's face was gloomy, but after all, he still respected Wangdui and didn't say anything more.

The three young Snow Clans exchanged glances, and the three young people all understood in their hearts why Gyatso was angry with Tenzin, but such a thing was indeed helpless, and there was no room for the three of their juniors to speak.

In fact, not only Elder Gyatso, but now many of the elder Snow Clans of the same generation as Gyatso have the same resentment and dissatisfaction with Tenzin.

Elder Gatso is now eighty-three years old, and when the Snow Clan separated, Elder Gatso's father chose to follow Wangdui's side, but Elder Gatso's mother insisted on staying behind and following the original patriarch and high priest, and Elder Gatso's mother was pregnant at the time, and gave birth to a boy soon after, and after more than ten years, Elder Gatso's mother died.

Elder Gatso always wanted to persuade his younger brother to leave and live with him, but Elder Gatso's younger brother said that their mother had a last word and would never let him turn his back on the high priest, because in the eyes of his mother, turning his back on the high priest and the last words of his ancestors is equivalent to turning his back on the snow god, and sooner or later he will be punished.

Elder Gatso couldn't persuade him, but fortunately, although this branch restricted their branch from stepping into the range of Tianzhu Mountain, they also turned a blind eye to the clansmen who came here to meet with their relatives and friends in private, and Elder Gatso's younger brother would come over to meet with his brother every other month, and for Elder Gatso, although they couldn't live together, they could still meet with the only relatives in the world, and they could help each other from time to time, which was also a comfort.

Elder Gatso's younger brother has not been able to marry because of his frailty, and his life is hard, so Elder Gatso is even more relieved about this younger brother.

Thirty-three years ago, when Tenzin, the eldest son of the former patriarch and Wangdui's own nephew, took over as the patriarch, the first ban was to prohibit the tribe from setting foot in the Maquan River Valley.

Since then, Elder Gatso has never been able to see his own brother again.

And because of this, the originally mild-tempered Elder Gatso's temperament became gloomy and quirky day after day.

And there are still a lot of old men of the Snow Clan like Gatso on the branch.

After leaving Tianzhu Mountain, the branch of the Snow Clan did get better and better, its body no longer grew taller again, and its lifespan returned to its normal state.

But the more this happens, the more these old people miss their relatives.

At that time, there were not many couples who were separated like Gatso's parents, but there were also many brothers and sisters, mothers, sons, fathers and daughters.

For thousands of years, the Snow Clan can be said to be the most united and affectionate of the Eighteen Border Clans, the Snow Clan is not to mention the outsiders, the Middle-earth people, even before the Middle-earth War, the Snow Clan is mostly a posture of escapism, except for the Middle-earth people, the other seventeen border clans, the Snow Clan does not have many contacts.

Unless necessary, contact is rare.

Especially ordinary people, in the hearts of the Snow people, their living habits and huge burly body shape also determine that they have a unique living area and way, so for the outside world, although they have no senseless hostility, they also feel that there is not much need to interact.

But the Snow Clan, who values their clansmen and relatives the most, has now become the only one of the eighteen clans that has fallen apart.

For every Snow Clan, this is a great pain and helpless shame.

The young Snow Clan of Dunzhu's generation grew up after the separation of the Snow Clan, and most of them had never even seen the clansmen on the other side of the branch with their own eyes, and the young Snow Clan did not have much experience of the pain of Gatso's generation, but since they were born, the elders of the family began to teach them.

Tell them their true origins, tell them about the ancient ancestral land of the Snow Clan, and tell them about the existence of this branch.

Everyone of the Snow Clan has received the same teaching, that the Snow Clan will not be separated forever, and sooner or later, they will become one with their bloodline.

Only then will they be the true Snow Clansmen.

Therefore, although the branch of the younger generation, the Snow Clan, could not understand the pain and longing of Elder Gatso, everyone had such a belief in their hearts.

Blood is thicker than water, and this branch and branch will definitely become one!

Even though this wish seems illusory now, the Snow Clan people of every branch are looking forward to it and firmly believing it in their hearts.

This is also the reason why when Dunzhu knew that Shen Nishang and his party had brought Gongga's relics, he was so excited and happy that he didn't really get angry when the other party committed the biggest taboo of the Snow Clan.

Unfortunately, the handwriting on the most important suicide note among the Gonggar relics is so blurred that it cannot be recovered at all.

At the moment when he learned that there was Gongga's suicide note, the two patriarchs of Wangdui decided to come over in person at the first time, regardless of his old age and frailty, and Dunzhu knew in his heart that for the two patriarchs of Wangdui, how important Gongga's suicide note was, this may be the most important opportunity to open the stalemate between the branch and the branch for many years.

Tenzin is the eldest son of the previous patriarch, born after the separation of the Snow Clan, although the uncle and nephew have never met, but I heard that Tenzin has had the best relationship with his uncle Gongga since childhood.

The age difference between the two is more than ten years, the former patriarch is busy with affairs, and he heard that his temper has become more and more weird later, and he is not close to Tenzin's eldest son, Gongga pities this nephew, so most of the time Tenzin lives with Gongga.

Why Tenzin hated the branch so much, if they still didn't understand it before, they also guessed it after this time.

Gonggar has been away from the clan for a long time, and it took a long time for the branch to know about it, but I don't know why Gongga left the snowy mountain.

But now I know.

Gongga was bitter because of the opposition of the two brothers and the separation of the clansmen, so he brought the three most important tokens for the Snow Clan, the holy lotus seeds, the ears of barley wheat, and the snow salt - these three things were given by the Snow God and the ancestors.

Gonggar never returned.

Tenzin naturally knew why Gonggar couldn't go back.

Therefore, Tenzin hated his only remaining uncle, Wangdui, and also hated the branch.

If Gongga's suicide note can leave something useful, if Gongga really received the guidance of the snow god and the ancestors in the lake, then the biggest difference between the branch and the branch may be solved.

Unfortunately, the contents of the suicide note were never known again.

Even if Wangdui wanted to contact the branch with this, there was no sufficient reason.

Tenzin, who hates Wangdui and the branch clansmen, will not give Wangdui a chance to meet easily.

According to the agreement reached 80 years ago, the opportunity for the two tribes to meet again will be nearly 20 years.

Of course, their younger generation is waiting for it, but the second patriarch of Wangdui is already one hundred and fifteen years old...... Can you wait?

Dunzhu was pulled by Wangdui, looking at the old brown face of the second patriarch of Wangdui in the firelight, Dunzhu couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, sour and uncomfortable.

There was silence in the cave for a moment.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant and heavy.

"Second Patriarch, that Bailing Clan's girl's adoptive mother is a Soul Clan, will they have any news of the Soul Clan?"

Gyatso raised his head in a daze, as if he had thought of something, his face was happy, and he said urgently: "Yes, if you can invite the Soul Clan Holy Maiden to dance a soul dance, maybe you will be able to know the guidance of the ancestors brought back by Gongga!"

"If it had been 300 years ago, it would have been easy. Wangdui didn't show any excitement, and shook his head calmly, "But if it's three hundred years, our Snow Clan won't suffer such a catastrophe." They won't hear from the Soul Clan. ”

"Why?" Elder Gyatso was puzzled, "The Soul Clan's ability is a hundred times more powerful than ours, since her adoptive mother is a Soul Clan, how could she not know the news of the Soul Clan?

"If you don't believe me, just ask. Wangdui only said this sentence and didn't say much.

Wangdui understands it in his heart.

The girl from the Bailing Clan said that her adoptive mother is now gone, if they know the news of the Soul Clan, they should get in touch with the Soul Clan as soon as possible, and the soul separation technique can only be performed by the Soul Clan, and only the Soul Clan can solve it.

If the soul of the soul tribe woman was a separated person, she should have died at that time, and her body was still alive, indicating that there was a magic cast by the soul clan that was clever enough to gather her soul, but for some reason, the soul clan that saved people did not completely save people to the end, nor did they put the soul spell into the body to make people return to their souls.

And these border clans are bent on saving people, if they knew the news of the soul clan, they would not have traveled thousands of miles to the snow-capped mountains to find the holy lotus seeds.

What they should fight is to ask for the Holy Lotus Seed first, save the vitality of the soul woman's body, and then go to the Soul Clan to save people.

Otherwise, the three-month period is enough to contact the soul clan to save people.

Elder Gatso made up his mind to ask tomorrow, so he let go of this section first, and raised his head and asked lately: "These people are very smart, and their identities are not ordinary, they guessed that this branch is in the area of Tianzhu Mountain, if it weren't for the heavy snow, a few days ago, their companions on the other side of the river almost found out where the clan land on the south bank of our country was, there are a lot of middle-earth people in this gang, what are the plans of the second patriarch now?" If we let them go like this, they will have guessed both of our clans, and if they go out and talk nonsense, I'm afraid our clan will be difficult to be at peace in the future?"

"I don't think so. Dunzhu hesitated, "Didn't they also go to the Companion Beast Clan and the Qishan Clan, I think they ...... They don't look like bad guys either. ”

"Bad people don't carve words on their faces!" "Boss Gatso raised his face and taught Dunzhu, "Now that they have a request for us, they are naturally good to speak." Besides, if people say you'll believe it. Just because they don't say it now doesn't mean they won't say it in the future. I told you that the people of Middle-earth are the most cunning and ruthless, otherwise our Snow Clan would have lived well in the original ancestral land, why would we have made trouble to this point!"

Dondzhu Nono was silent.

The other two young Snow Clans also only looked at the two patriarchs of Wangdui.

Wangdui didn't seem to hear Gatso's words, and his eyelids drooped and he didn't know what he was thinking.

As soon as they saw the expression of the two patriarchs, the remaining four people knew that Wangdui didn't want to be disturbed, so the four of them fell silent, picked up, and silently looked for a place, the rest that should rest, and the vigil that should be vigiled.

Wangdui sat on the solitary hide for a long time, and did not lie down and sleep until it was almost dawn.

When he woke up the next morning, he brought a pot of milk tea, a plate of beef, and some dough-like food with a slight wheat aroma.

The dough is dark brown, the color is a little weird, and the smell is a little strange, in addition to the wheat aroma mixed with tea and frankincense.

Luo Cai picked up a lump in his hand, approached the tip of his nose and sniffed it, revealing a somewhat strange look.

Dunzhu walked to the entrance of the cave after delivering the food, turned his head and saw Luo Cai's slightly disgusted expression, paused, and said with a little embarrassment: "This is barley barley, barley wheat is made with tea powder mixed with ghee, and I am hungry after eating, so I won't get sick." You haven't eaten it, you may not be used to it, but it's actually delicious. ”

What Dunzhu didn't say was that barley barley was one of the most precious foods of the Snow Clan, not to mention this branch, even in their branch, the clansmen could not eat it every day.

Luo Cai's disgusted expression was also a little surprised when Dunzhu found it, he took a bite hard, and felt that the taste was okay when he ate it, but the smell was still unaccustomed, and when he saw Dunzhu's tall figure standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at it expectantly, he could only tear away a smile.
