Chapter 39: Family Origins
The amount of damn rock was more than Dekang had expected. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
His strength was not as great as he imagined, no matter which part of Dekang pushed, carried, and pushed it, at most it shook slightly, and he couldn't move the distance of half a claw at all.
The mud and sand between the gaps on both sides took the opportunity to slip in a lot, causing Dekang to slip under his feet when he exerted his strength, and he couldn't use his strength even more, so he had to squat down first to clean it up, and then try it again at the top of the carrying point that he felt just now.
Just as he was pouting and pulling the mud and sand on the ground of the cave entrance, he inadvertently looked up and saw some regular notches on the rock wall on the left side of the cave entrance.
Dekang stopped pulling up and looked at the two large rock faces carved some simple lines, the general pattern was an oval circle, the upper center of the circle had a small prominent circle, and the lower right side of the circle also had a deep carving, this cut was relatively long, and the end was just in front of the heel.
Although the carving was rough, Dekang felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen such a carving for a while, and he shook his head and began to search for memory.
There must be a mysterious depiction of this mysterious place, which must have an extraordinary meaning, and it is the key to us going out. Thinking of this, Dekang accelerated his search, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't remember, and for a while he frowned and pondered there.
Baoyue, who was behind her, saw that the second brother was acting a little strangely, so she took two steps forward to take a look, and she also saw the carvings on the rock face.
looked at her and muttered to herself: "What's so good-looking, how does the second brother look fascinated, Baoyue will also draw such a picture, just draw a big circle according to the appearance of the dark space." ā
Dekang was concentrating on searching in his mind, and he basically didn't hear what Baoyue said, but after she finished speaking, the four words of dark space poured into his ears like thunder, and in an instant, a bright light flashed in Dekang's mind, and several pictures on the top floor of the dark space flashed in his mind.
Dekang patted his head vigorously and blinked his eyes a few times, staring at the rock face.
That's right.
If this simple oval carving represents a dark space, then the small circle above is the black wall you see at the top of the mountain, and the long inscription below is likely to represent the black pipe leading to the lake.
If it weren't for the coincidence, he and Baoyue would never have thought of entering the dark space for the rest of their lives, and they wouldn't have known that there were still some pictures of the wolf clan's divine sword near Belik Lake, and even Ah Da and Ah Ma didn't know about the dark space.
How could these mysterious strong wolf clans know about its existence, and which wolf tribe they belong to?
I don't know how many winters and summers ago, Altyn belonged to the territory of the Dekang family, and for a long time, no wolf tribe or group dared to come to provoke, let alone the lowest level of the uniocular wolf clan.
Although the members of the Dekang family are physically stronger than the average wolf clan, they have not been very prosperous due to the fact that they can only produce one wolf cub per season for generations.
In fact, if a wolf leader and his one-eyed subordinates came to challenge, the Dekang family would have no trouble coping with it; If the leader of the wolf clan broke in with the group under his rule to besiege him, and the Dekang family relied on their familiarity with the terrain and relied on the tactics of suspicious soldiers to cover the escape of the most important family member with the method of sacrificing the whole body, the possibility of success was still quite large; If a wolf leader commands the entire tribe to surround Algin, our Dekang family will be left with no bones.
But in so many winters and summers, such an incident has not happened once, except for the occasional single wandering wolf clan that will inadvertently break in.
To say that this is due to the legacy of the Golden Wolf Khan King, it was many, many winters and summers ago, and even Dekang himself would not believe it.
There may be some secret hidden in this, and could it have something to do with the skeletons in front of you? Dekang vaguely felt that these bones had some kind of connection with their Dekang family.
Since it's only a rock away from the outside world, it means that the river is almost at the exit, and even if you can't push the damn rock yourself, it shouldn't be a problem to float out of the hole. Thinking of this, Dekang simply sat down with Baoyue in his arms and thought about it, and at the same time sorted out his brain that had become a little complicated and chaotic since he went up the mountain.
"Second brother. Why don't you go and push the rocks? Seeing that the second brother was calmer, Baoyue was not flustered.
Dekang touched her little head: "Baoyue." Don't worry, we can definitely go out. The second brother has to think carefully about what kind of connection these bones have with us. ā
"These bones have a connection to us! Grandma has brought you here? Baoyue's eyes widened.
Dekang shook his head: "Second brother is thinking." Why is there only our Dekang family in such a big place as Altyn? Why have no other tribal communities come to grab land in so many winters and summers? Why is there a dark space and so many strong wolf remains? Why is Grandma's eyes full of hope when she mentions Lake Belik at the last moment? ā
"Why?" Baoyue's little face almost touched Dekang's nose.
"What is the second brother thinking?"
'Altyn Mountains, Lake Beylik, Dark Space, Wolf King's Divine Sword and Apron Human Excalibur, and Strange Humans, Black Pipe to the Great Lake, Small Canyon, Dark River, Undead Demons, Dark Hole, Wolf Skeletons, Grandma's eyes when she talks about Lake Belik, and the origin of her name. Dekang vaguely felt that there seemed to be some kind of connection hidden in this.
But what kind of connection is it, but I can't find that thread.
After sitting and resting for a while, Dekang got up and walked to the damn rock, carried the bottom of the left side of the rock with his left shoulder, and propped his forelimbs on the rock face in front of and behind his neck, took a deep breath and lifted his lower limbs to exert force suddenly, and the rock seemed to shake slightly.
If you wait until summer arrives and grows stronger and taller, you might be able to push this rock." Dekang kicked the rock hard with his left lower limb and comforted himself.
Of course, the rock did not move, but Zi Dekang staggered back several steps, and almost fell to the ground.
The moment his upper limbs supported the ground, Dekang suddenly understood why all the people who died here were tall and middle-aged wolf clans: only such wolf clans could push the rock that sealed the entrance of the cave.
But a few ordinary steppe wolves can also work together to push away the rocks, why don't they have their bones, can it be said that only the wolf clan who push the rocks alone is qualified to die here? ā
The rituals of the wolf clan are generally all kinds of howls at the moon god, and only the wolf king and the big leader of the tribe are qualified to offer sacrifices.
The sacrifices are usually cattle, sheep and deer, and sometimes there are also leopards, yaks, brown bears and other powerful characters, which is a very grand sacrifice, but no one will ever take the strongest wolf clan in the group as a sacrifice.
In the entire prairie, the only ones whose physique is different from ordinary wolves are the Dekang family, and if these remains have some connection with the family, then they are likely to be the ancestors of the Dekang family many times before winter and summer.
No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I first saw these skeletons in the dark river.
In any case, the Dekang family, which is a thin clan, will not sacrifice its strong members, nor will it have the capital to sacrifice so many members at once.
But with so many bones in front of him, no one can deny this fact, and there is only one premise for this kind of scene: that is, in a long, long period of winter and summer, all the strong members of the family will die here one by one.
'The strong members who are the main force of the hunt to protect the safety of the family are all dead here, so what about the family, why should they all die here?'
Besides, they couldn't lie there and wait to die, how did they die in this place where there were no human beings? ā
Dekang got up and walked back and forth, thinking as he went, and before he knew it, he came to the dark river. Looking at the slowly flowing river and thinking of the dark space shape pattern at the mouth of the cave, Dekang finally figured out why only the strong wolf clan died here.
It is likely that they want to swim across the dark river into the big pipe, and enter the dark space through the big pipe, of course, this kind of difficult task cannot be completed by sending the old and young wolf clans to complete it.
Unfortunately, the length of the dark river exceeded the tolerance of all strong wolf clans, and even if there were wolf clans with super breath holding their breath, it was impossible to find the small hole in the middle of the dark hole when they were dizzy and swam in the dark hole, and they were probably all suffocated in the dark hole.
Even if a few lucky ones can swim out, without the protection of the divine sword or divine sword, the undead demon will swallow them in one gulp in the dark river ahead.
Knowing the danger of the dark cave, why did the ancestors of the family swim into the cave one after another during a long period of winter and summer, and what did they do it for?
Also, how could they know that there is a dark space hidden in the mountain, and Grandma Ah Da doesn't seem to know about its existence at all?
In this way, first of all, there seems to be something wrong with the inheritance of the Dekang family before many, many winters and summers, so the future family members only know that there is the hope of the Dekang family near Lake Belik, but they do not know the specific location and specific facts.
That's why Grandma will have that kind of look before she dies, she probably hopes that there will be a miracle on Xiao Dekang, who looks like the Golden Wolf Khan King, and find the hope that the family has been passed down from generation to generation.
Secondly, the wolf clan who knows the existence and location of the dark space is the Divine Sword Wolf King and his clansmen, as well as these remains in the cave, if these remains are really the ancestors of the Dekang family, then what is the relationship between himself and the Divine Sword Wolf King?
Why do you and Baoyue feel that his eyes are full of warmth!
One thing is for sure: the ancestors of the Dekang family must be the clansmen of the Divine Sword Wolf King, and it is likely that they have also entered the dark space.
Dekang thought of the tall and mighty physique of the Divine Sword Wolf King, and it was not ruled out that he was the ancestor of the Dekang family.
Only with this explanation can we associate strange humans, dark space, the Divine Sword Wolf King, the remains of the cave, the Dekang family, and Grandma Ada.
Thinking of this, Dekang couldn't help but kneel on the ground and burst into tears.
There were more than a hundred corpses in the cave, all of whom were the strongest members of the Dekang family, most likely the patriarch himself.
In this way, it seems that there are at least more than two hundred winters and summers, and the Dekang family is not afraid of the fear of death in the dark hole, and advances into the dark space one after another, and finally sacrifices in the dark hole one by one and is brought back by the current. Then, it should be the generations of family members who are anxiously waiting on the shore to place their bodies here.
What a belief!
What a responsibility!
The Earth Wolf Clan has enough wisdom, and the Dekang family is the wise man of the entire Wolf Clan.
The Dekang family would never sacrifice their strong members for the sake of the family's revitalization in a long season of more than two hundred winters and summers, such a sacrifice is not something that a family can afford, and they must have extraordinary beliefs to support this death.
What exactly is this belief?
Just when Dekang's heart was surging and racking his brains to think, Baoyue was frightened when he saw the second brother crying, shaking his upper limbs and crying, "Second brother." Can't get out? ā
'It's all here, and many secrets that the Dekang family has been looking for and guarding for many winters and summers have also been inadvertently broken into by the two of us, will they not be able to get out? ā
Dekang couldn't cry or laugh a little, but he couldn't tell her the truth, so he had to make it up: "When the second brother saw so many skeletons, he couldn't help but think of Aunt Ah Da and Demu Tengge, and he didn't know when he left tears." ā
Listening to Dekang's words, Baoyue hugged him tightly and sobbed.
Thinking of their smiles and their heroic posture, Dekang's heart is like a knife.
Holding Baoyue and sitting by the dark river, Dekang thought and thought again.
He combed through what he had seen and heard all the way through the dark space, and then repeated some of these special things and pictures in his mind, hoping to find something very special, which was probably related to the family ancestors entering the dark cave one after another.
In the end, Dekang screened out the five most likely things: strange humans, strange cars, apron human swords, divine swords, wolf kings, and top drawings.
Probably each of these 5 things is possible, but none of them seem to be possible.
Because I really can't see what extraordinary significance they will have to the Dekang family and the other wolf clans now, this is just a legend from a long time ago.
In the steppes of your life and death, who would be in awe of a strange human being who can't move; It's strange that the car can't run out at all, and the Divine Sword Wolf King and the top picture are probably just the capital that the spectators brag about after dinner.
As for the divine sword on his back, is it worth the Dekang family to sacrifice so much in exchange?
A human casually holds a gun up at you and makes a noise, and you're basically finished.
If the Wolf Clan's Divine Sword was in the dark space, Dekang was a little confident that the family would get it at all costs, because it was the symbol of the Wolf King.
If you can't think of an answer, look for it again.
Could there be any other clues here?
He looked around the edge of the skeleton for two times, and stared at the rock wall of the space on the left side and searched carefully, and on the rock wall about four or five figures away from the dark space line, he really found some other seemingly chaotic lines for Dekang.
He and Baoyue studied the probe for a while, but they couldn't see anything famous, and I walked to the mouth of the cave in frustration, frowning and looking at the ray of skylight.
"Second brother. What are you still looking for, do you want Baoyue to help you find it? Baoyue has been following behind Dekang, and when she saw the second brother's focused search, she didn't bother, and she stretched her neck there to make a fool of herself.
Dekang picked her up: "The second brother wants to look for it to see if there are any other clues, and it doesn't matter if you can't find it." Baoyue, you smell the cold air, let's be at the foot of the mountain. ā
"Is it really okay to get out?" Ever since Dekang gave up pushing away the damn rock, Baoyue has been a little worried, and she was still worried about whether she could get out.
Dekang kept nodding: "It's already at the foot of the mountain, you don't necessarily have to go out from here, the exit of the dark hole is right in front of you." ā
Back to the dark river, reluctant to take a last look at the remains, Dekang slid down the dark river with Baoyue on his back, hooked the rock sheepskin and the big basin on the bank, everything was ready to buckle the big basin upside down on the top of his head again, paddling a few lower limbs, he and Baoyue entered the dark hole again.
After drifting for a short time, he felt that the dark hole was turning to the right, and after a while, Dekang saw a faint light under the water in front of him, and the exit was really in front of him.
The exit of the dark hole would be below the surface of the water, which Dekang had not expected in advance. It doesn't matter that much, if he can get out, it will be considered a victory, he increased the frequency of his strokes, and soon came to the exit.
At the top of the dark hole here is a huge block of rock, and the rock slopes down from where they came, so that the outlet is squeezed below the water's surface.
Due to the inclination of the last section of the dark hole, Dekang had to use a strong force to buckle the edge of the basin, otherwise the large basin would flip on its side, and he could only throw it down and escape quickly with Baoyue on his back.
In the end, this part of the journey was quite smooth, in front of the dark cave entrance, Dekang stroked his lower limbs vigorously, and finally broke free from an inexplicable undercurrent, and then was lightly carried out of the dark hole by the current. At this time, Dekang glanced back at Baoyue, and glared hard a few times at the water to reveal the water.
At this time, the land of Altyn was much colder than the dark space and the dark river and dark hole.
Maybe it's been in a warm place for a long time, and they both shivered at the same time when they first came out, which made Dekang realize that it was not much easier than in the dark space after coming out, mainly Baoyue, who must not be frozen, and there were many precautions to be taken for her.
The sky has begun to light up, and in front of me is a small lake.
There is basically no ice on the surface of the lake, only a circle of thin ice on the surface of the water near the shore, and there are cliffs on the left and right sides above the exit, and the right side is far from the shore, and the distance from the left side is only a few dozen places to go ashore.
Dekang didn't have time to take a closer look at the lake, so he hurriedly threw the rock sheepskin into the basin and swam towards the left bank of the river with the symmetrical sides of the large basin.
