"Master Hong, how far is this from the next tomb?"

Chen Cripple looked around, but found that they didn't know how many mountains they had crossed, and they had reached the halfway point of the mountain at this time, and it was very likely that Zhang Shaohong and the others had come before.

"Here, the third entrance should not be far away, but it's just ......"

Zhang Shaohong wanted to speak and stopped, and there was some irritability in his expression.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Meng was also a little strange when he saw Zhang Shaohong's appearance, as if after coming out of the tomb, his feelings had not eased.

Zhang Shaohong hesitated, but still sighed softly: "Have you noticed that in the second tomb, in addition to seeing some appalling history, we don't seem to have found the key 'key'. If we encounter those red moons again, I'm afraid we will still be helpless......"

"Red Moon?"

Zhang Meng's heart jumped, he had heard this term from Ye Jiu and Zhang Shaohong many times.

It was hard for him to imagine that with the state of Zhang Ye's two masters gathering at that time, they were actually killed by that red moon, and even the two families were killed and injured heavily.

"The Red Moon, also known as the Blood Moon, is a 'god' worshipped by the ancient gods, and it is also a totem! But that's just my guess, and I don't know if it's something engraved on that totem......"

Zhang Shaohong shook his head, and he hesitated for a while before speaking.

"A blood moon? How I've never heard of this stuff. ”

Chen Cripple frowned, and repeated it a few times with some confusion, but he still couldn't find this word from his memory.

"Naturally, even the fourth child couldn't tell what this thing was, if it wasn't for a few words mentioned in that demon shrine, I'm afraid we would be as confused as you, and we wouldn't even know what to attack!"

"I'll tell you about an ancient race, maybe you'll understand what I mean, Jiuli Clan!" Zhang Shaohong said lightly.

"Jiuli clan, isn't this the mythical race?" Chen Cripple looked surprised.

The Jiuli tribe (a tribe at the junction of Shandong, Hebei and Henan provinces) originally belonged to the Dongyi group, and according to legend, there were nine tribes: Yiyi, Yuyi, Fangyi, Huangyi, Baiyi, Chiyi, Xuanyi, Fengyi, and Yangyi, collectively known as Jiuli or Jiuyi. The Li State (now southwest of Changzhi County, Shanxi) established by the later Jiuli patriarch Chi You in the north was a unified alliance state of Sanmiao and Jiuli, which coexisted with the Yellow Emperor and the Yandi clan at that time, and was not annexed by Zhou until the end of the Shang Dynasty.

Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong all came out of Dongyi Jiuli. Jiuli was defeated in the Battle of Zhuolu, and the patriarch Chiyou was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor.

After a long struggle, some of them stayed in the north and established the Li state, which was later destroyed by the Zhou dynasty.

Some of them participated in the Huangyan tribal alliance and gradually merged into the Huaxia tribe.

Some of them retreated to the Jianghan Valley in the south and established the Sanmiao Tribal Alliance. Some people believe that Jing Chu during the Warring States period and today's Miao people are the descendants of Jiuli and Sanmiao.

Most of these accounts have not been verified by the archaeological community, and what is recorded is too unreal. In addition, the legendary deeds of Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong are all from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", so these records have been passed down and are generally regarded as ancient magic novels, and no one takes them seriously.

However, listening to Zhang Shaohong's meaning, there really is this race, and the totem of that race has survived until now? This made Chen Cripple's eyes pop out.

The fat man also showed a look of surprise on his face, and he seemed to know this allusion.

"Many of the words and patterns carved on the demon shrine back then were related to the secrets of the Jiuli race, as well as totems! It's just that we don't know about those words, and there are some similarities with the text, but they are much more complicated than the text. Because in ancient times, there were not many people who knew civilization, and those who could understand civilization and write words were called 'witches'! Therefore, every way of writing must be understood by Dawu himself. ”

Zhang Shaohong said with a wry smile.

It's like the person who created the zào hieroglyph, he knows what he means by the slash or vertical vertical, but others have to figure out the meaning of the zào word. This is not the era of the Great Unification Dynasty, where all the characters are grouped into one category, but each race has its own specific script to inherit, and the same script can have two meanings in two races.

"So at the time, we just hurriedly swept through the words, didn't pay much attention to them, and then just cared about opening the shrine!"

"It wasn't until later, when we found out that the descendants of the Zhang family were contaminated with the curse of the ghost vein, that we remembered those words, and it was very likely that the secret of the ghost vein was recorded on them. It's a pity that even the fourth child didn't remember it at that time, let alone us. ”

"That shrine is our goal this time! Find that shrine no matter what! ”

Zhang Shaohong's expression was scorching, and he said with a firm face.

"Could it be that the strange things here are all passed down from the Jiuli tribe?"

Zhang Meng frowned slightly, and the look on her face was also a little puzzled.

Could it be that the immortal cyborgs in the tomb of Liu Liu, as well as the Yin soldiers who were chained with iron chains, were all secrets handed down by this race? However, how did Zhuge Liang get to this point after digging up Liu Qu's tomb?

If you follow their reasoning, it is Liu Qu, the second ancestor, who is only obsessed with beauties and jewelry, and is not interested in this shocking secret passed down from the Jiuli clan at all, and those immortal biochemical people are also defective products made on a whim, which is more than a step worse than Zhuge Liang's Yin soldiers.

But what the truth is, no one can say......

Zhang Meng's head is getting bigger, and he originally thought that he was getting closer to the truth step by step, but now it seems that there are still many mysteries that have not been solved.

"Oh, I said what are you doing with all these things, find the shrine first! As soon as it happens, it's all out of the water. ”

The fat man said angrily, he sneered a little in his heart, these myths and other things, after all, he didn't believe them.

"I said Ancestor, the red moon and the blue moon, have you ever seen it for the first time?" The fat man asked.

"No, the first time we came here, we were completely targeting those artifacts, and we didn't touch any of the dangerous places on the map! If I hadn't re-entered, I wouldn't have known that there was anything else in the tomb, as if it had completely changed! ”

Zhang Shaohong said with a wry smile.
