At this time, I couldn't help but ask Tu Laosan again.

"Tu Laosan, why are there so many women in your village? And all so young? ”

I also asked Tu Laosan about this before, but he prevaricated with a few words, and he was obviously unwilling to answer.

Asked again at this time, Tu Laosan smiled embarrassedly first.

"This is the clan rule of our Dongyi tribe! No one can ......" looked at the expression on his face, and there was a look of displeasure.

There was silence for a few seconds before he spoke again: "The Dongyi clan has an ancient three-year family rule, mainly women who are forty years old will be sent to the mother river!" ”

"Dedicated to the Mother River? How to give? ”

For a while, I didn't understand this.

"Yes!" Tu Laosan said coldly, "When a woman is about to be forty years old, the family will prepare a small boat, and the wood at the bottom of the boat will be glued with glutinous rice, and then when the woman reaches the age of forty, she will leave the village in a small boat, and when the glutinous rice at the bottom of the boat is soaked in water, the boat will enter the water and sink." ”

I was dumbfounded.

This doesn't kill people! So cruel?

"That'...... How could there be so many women in the village? I scratched my scalp, "I mean to ask why the people in the village are obviously disproportionate to men and women." ”

Tu Laosan smiled bitterly: "Well, this! I can't explain the specifics, the birth of a boy and the birth of a girl are decided by the Ula in the village, and the Ula of each village will prepare two kinds of medicinal powders, one is red and the other is green, and if you drink the red medicine before gluing, you will give birth to a girl, and if you drink the green one, you will give birth to a boy. ”

I was shocked again.

"What? Can you control the sex of the fetus with drugs in advance? ”

"That's right! So there are far more women than men in every village! ”

Shocked, a thought flashed through my mind: If I mastered the preparation method of this medicinal powder and brought it to the 21st century, wouldn't I make a fortune?

The two of them were chatting, I accidentally glanced at Tu Laosan's chest, and saw a strange tattoo on each side of his chest, one of which I was still a little familiar with, it must have been seen somewhere, but I didn't remember it for a while.

Both tattoos are light green, the problem is a few minutes ago, I'm sure he didn't have it on him, that is, it popped up in these few minutes while we were chatting.

"Tu Laosan, do you have tattoos on your body?"

I exclaimed.

"Tattoos?" Tu Laosan lowered his head and swept towards his body.

"Oh! That's what you're talking about! Then he pointed to the tattoos on either side of his chest.

"That's right! I don't think I ...... just now."

Tu Laosan smiled and pointed to my side, I turned around with it, my first reaction was like a hot face, no need to ask, I must have blushed to the root of my ears.

Two eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls were standing exactly one meter to my left, and they were tall in the village, and the river could only reach their chests, so I naturally saw something that made people's blood break down.

The two women didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled at me.

Immediately, I saw that the two girls also had facial tattoos, but there was only one tattoo on the left and right of the third girl, and there was only one on each girl.

Hurriedly subconsciously turned around and looked at Tu Laosan: "What, you guys...... You all have it, but when you go down to the river, you don't seem to have any! ”

In fact, when I went down to the river, I also peeked at a lot of people, and it was just the instinctive reaction of a healthy man!

"This can be regarded as the body peugeot of our Dongyi people! After birth, after the full moon, the high priest will engrave the image of our river god with a specially formulated potion—and the man will also engrave the god of the earth. "Book it

"You mean the god of the river and the god of the earth in the chest?"

Tu Laosan nodded: "Only when we bathe in the mother river will the appearance of the river god appear from our bodies, which means that the river god has accepted us." ”

I couldn't help but gasp – and that's weird, too! Soak in the river to reveal the tattoo...... What is this approach? It seems that the wisdom of the ancients has far surpassed our phenomena.

After a few more glances, it was like a lightning bolt in my head.

I suddenly remembered where I had seen this kind of face tattoo before, on Wu Jinghan's body, when we came out of the Thirteen Ghost Caves of the Yellow River, she had this strange tattoo on the side of her chest, and every time in the middle of the night, Wu Jinghan would sleepwalk, make some strange movements, and when she woke up, she didn't know it at all.

At this moment, although people are in the water, there are bursts of warmth in their hearts.

Don't forget your trip!

Maybe I can unlock the secret of Wu Jinghan's tattoo, at least I have to help him break this thousand-year-old curse.

After the shower, I started asking about the tattoo.

"There are a total of twelve high priests in the entire Dongyi tribe, these high priests do not belong to any village, they are separated from all the Dongyi villages, and if there is a newborn child who has reached the full moon, they will engrave the totem of the river god on the child."

"If you are looking for it, can you find one of the high priests?"

"This ...... Try your luck! The twelve high priests are only gathered when the clan performs a ritual to worship the river, and if one of the high priests dies, he will choose a successor before he dies. ”

At night I lay in bed and began to plan what I was going to do next.

I thought about it in my heart.

It seems that he has to take the initiative to find Chi Long and persuade him not to take the initiative to be a "human sacrifice", and he also has to find the high priest of the Dongyi clan and ask about the tattoo of the river god, mainly to figure out how to crack this curse.

was planning, suddenly heard the door "squeak" open, and saw a slender figure flash in, no need to ask, you know who is coming, and you know the purpose of her coming here, so naturally you are welcome......

The next day, I talked to Tu Laosan, and then strode towards the cave where the dragon was.

I was fast on my feet, and it took me more than an hour to get there.

The guards at the entrance of the cave knew me, and they also knew that the leader of the dragon had a high opinion of me, but he didn't embarrass me, one of the guards struck the gong three times, but I didn't expect that the person who came out this time was Chiyou.

Chiyou still looked at me with that strange look.

"Where the hell are you from?"

I didn't have a good impression of him, and replied casually: "A far away, I've come to find the leader of the dragon, there is something important!" ”

Chi You sneered: "I heard that you are the messenger of the God of Fire? I happen to have something to look for you too! ”

"You're looking for me? What about the dragon leader? "I had a bad premonition.

"My brother went to get the Yellow River Divine Sword, and he won't come back today...... You follow me into the cave first......"

I had no intention of dealing with him, and was about to turn away, when I suddenly heard Chi You clapping his hands a few times, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps on both sides.

I subconsciously turned around, and I saw seven or eight people with bronze swords flashing on each side, staring at me coldly.

"I need something from you!"

The feeling of bad luck was even stronger.

"You...... What do you need from me? ”

Chi You smiled coldly again and only replied with one word: "blood".
