Chapter 640: Disappearing
On that day, a scout of the Righteous Dynasty reported to the above, and saw a group of Wu people, passing through a mountain forest, and then the whole group disappeared, and there was no trace of them.
In fact, on that day, the people's army did not completely disappear, and most of the people, led by Liao Shusheng, followed the people who surrounded the fire fox into a cave. And the main people in Menghuan Cottage followed the Menghuan Chilong brothers and quietly returned to Menghuan Cottage together.
As the patriarch of the Menghuan clan, Menghuan Chilong should come back and sacrifice to those who died, as well as Wu Gong, at least burn some paper and incense for these people. Tell Wu Gong what the Menghuan Cottage is like now, what he can do for the Cottage with Menghuan Chilong, and where will the Cottage be taken in the future.
When their group appeared in the cottage, it could be seen that the Menghuan Fire Fox had already led people to clean up, at least one of the clansmen did not have a violent corpse outside, and even the blood stains on the ground seemed to have been cleaned.
It's just that the blood stains can be washed away, but the ruins and broken walls can't be changed, and they are still exposed to the sun. Tell everyone what happened here, and the stories of what happened, and their hatred.
When the people in the cottage saw this scene, the pheasant was the first to cry, and when she cried, the girls who came with her also cried. The men's eyes were red, which made the group sad.
With a blue face, the fire fox threw his one arm and led the group to the back mountain.
Menghuan Chilong and the clansmen all know that the back mountain is the cemetery of the Menghuan tribe. But when they walked in, they saw rows of newly piled graves, which were so dazzling and sad.
The Menghuan people found the graves of their blood relatives, and the men couldn't control it, and couldn't help crying, which made the whole Menghuan cottage sad, but it also made this cottage vibrant, because they still had people, and someone's village was alive.
The smoke of those sacrifices is telling others that they have successors to these deceased, and their inheritance will not be broken. Those who have a blood feud with this village should worry every day that their descendants will come to take revenge.
Meng Winding Red Dragon didn't cry, as a person who had experienced blood and fire, crying was just a means of venting, and it didn't mean anything to things. Therefore, he couldn't hold back and didn't cry, more because he was the patriarch, and he wanted to show an attitude to the clansmen.
Just looking at the new graves, his face was pale, he clenched his teeth, his body kept shaking, his eyes turned red from anger, and there was a kind of sadness and anger surging in his body.
He knelt silently in front of Wu Gong's tomb for a long time, but his mind was not blank, not only remembering some past events, but also strengthening his determination. That is, we must beat the people of the upright dynasty out, restore the freedom of the land of the earth, and then lead the people to become strong, so that the Menghuan tribe has its own reputation in the Wu country.
In the burning smoke, he warned himself that he must make the Menghuan tribe strong, otherwise the death of these clansmen, as well as the patriarch and Wu Gong, would be meaningless.
During this process, the men did not communicate, and everyone was silent, quietly doing their own thing.
When everyone had finished sacrificing the dead, Menghuan Chilong also said his final goodbye to Wu Gong and was about to leave, when Menghuan Firefox suddenly said, "Patriarch, you come with me." ”
Meng Huan Chilong looked at Brother Ah in some confusion, but saw that Brother didn't look at him, and had already walked alone to a cave in the back mountain.
The Menghuan people in that cave know that it is a forbidden place for the Menghuan people, and they have been taught not to go near that cave since they were children. Meng Winding Red Dragon hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
Although they were ordered not to go near this cave from an early age, they were bold children who would sneak over to see the cave, because it made them curious and did not understand why they were not allowed to enter.
In his memory, it was not a natural cave, but a cave dug by someone. Outside the cave is a passage paved with stone slabs, about ten zhang deep, and then there is a stone gate, which is more than two zhang high, and there is a stone knocker on the door.
It's just that when they were young, they never walked to the stone gate, and it seemed that some force was blocking them and preventing them from approaching.
This time, the Fox did not go deeper, but stopped at the entrance of the cave. The fox fumbled around a corner of the cave and groped for a while, and found a cloth bag two feet in size.
"This is the secret book of exercises, the genealogy, and some ledgers I found in the village, as long as there are words, they are all here. You are the patriarch, and now I will leave it to you. ”
Listening to Elder Brother's words, he was a little speechless, he is now equal to the patriarch and the witch sacrifice falling on his head, but he is not a spirit witch, but he can help people open the witch den.
So, he didn't speak, just took the thing silently, he felt that he had this ability, so he should pick up this burden.
After handing him the thing, Meng Huan Firefox crouched down again and felt for a pole.
When he saw this pillar staff, Meng Huan Chilong could no longer control his emotions, held the pillar staff, and silently shed tears. This is Wu Gong's spirit and ghost pillar staff, which Wu Gong always held in his hand in the past and was reluctant to throw it away.
Now that the witch prince had gone and dropped the staff, he could no longer see him brandishing the staff and scolding them children. Maybe at this time, he completely understood that Wu Gong was really gone, and like the patriarch, he had abandoned him.
Brother didn't dissuade him, just silently watched him cry. I don't know how long he cried, but he finally stopped.
Brother looked at him and said, "It's good to cry, otherwise you'll be suffocated." ”
He didn't speak, just wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve.
Brother continued: "I know that now the things in the village are all on you, and it is really difficult for you, you are still a child, and you have to take on such a heavy responsibility. But the patriarch and Wu Gong take a fancy to you, so they naturally have their reasons. Since you have borne this burden, do not let your people down. If there's something you don't understand, or you can't do it, just ask the clan elders and they'll definitely help you. ”
He still didn't speak, just nodded silently.
"And this cave should be an important place for our clan, although the patriarch didn't tell Wu Gong, I always feel that this should be the same as the token, about the secret of our Menghuan clan. ”
Hearing Brother say this, Meng Huan Chilong looked up at Brother A, and then looked at the stone cave. Except for a stone path leading to the stone gate, the rest of the cave was also clean, and there was nothing complicated, just like what he had seen before.
"Brother, how do you know?"
"I guess the last time I came to hide something, I tried to get in, just like when I was a child, I couldn't get close to the stone gate, and it seemed that something was blocking it. I'm also a wizard now, and I have more than 10,000 catties of strength, but I can't rush through. So I suspect that this is a rune array, and what is protected by the rune array must be a big secret. And for so many years, the patriarch and Wu Gong couldn't open this stone door, but I was afraid that it would not be easy to open this stone door. ”
Hearing Brother say this, he put away the things in his hand and approached the stone gate, but before he could get closer, he felt a force that pushed him back two steps.
He stopped and looked at the stone door for a moment.
Now, he is no longer a child who doesn't understand anything, and he has learned talismans. So in front of the stone gate, he saw some runes, and according to those runes, he saw that there was a seal in front of the stone gate, that is, to prevent anyone from approaching the stone gate.
He picked up the "Eye of Heaven" and looked towards the seal, and quickly found the weakest point, which could be easily broken with his current great wizard skills.
When he raised his hand, he felt that it was inappropriate, after so many years, an ordinary sealing talisman array should have been broken a long time ago, and no one would enter it now.
So he took a closer look and found that behind the seal, there was a trapped array and a killing array, but these two rune arrays were not artificially arranged, but naturally generated, and this stone cave was dug out because of this natural rune array.
He took a closer look, but he couldn't find the location of the array pillar, so he couldn't walk in front of the stone gate, and naturally he couldn't open the stone gate.
This made him look more closely at the runes, and he could see that the outermost seal had been added later, presumably because he was afraid that these children would break in by mistake and lose their lives.
And there was another thing that surprised him, he didn't see the eyes of the trapped formation and the killing array in front of the stone gate, and guessed that it should be in the cave, that is to say, there are still people in the cave, and after entering, the talisman array will be activated from inside.
This puzzled him, if there was someone inside, it should have been more than a hundred years old, so he shook his head and denied this idea because it was impossible.
However, he believed in Brother's judgment that there must be a secret in this cave, but unfortunately he couldn't get in, even if there was a big secret, he didn't know.
Meng Huan Chilong shook his head, and when he was about to walk back to his brother, his eyes suddenly saw a hole in the stone door, and the size of the hole made him involuntarily pick up the dragon-shaped scimitar on his chest, and instinctively felt that his dragon-shaped scimitar was the key to open the stone door.
He remembered that the old patriarch had told him that as long as he reached the human witch, he could open the scimitar and know the secrets of the Menghuan clan, which could make the Menghuan clan stronger, and he did not seem to be far from the realm of the human witch now.
When he thought like this, he walked back to Brother Ah and said, "Brother guessed well, there should be a secret of the Menghuan clan here, but there are several runes outside the stone gate, I can't open them now, maybe when the magic power is high in the future, I can break in directly." ”
Hearing him say this, Meng Huan Firefox also said: "I know, if it was so easy to enter, someone would have opened it a long time ago." When you can open the token, let's take a look at it then!"
Meng Winding Red Dragon didn't speak, but held the token of the dragon-shaped scimitar on his chest and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Meng Huan Fire Fox said softly: "Red Dragon, let's go, there are still many things to do, at least the magic power must be raised." ”
He glanced at the stone gate, then walked out of the cave. He believed that this cave was like a token, and he had to wait until he stepped into the realm of human witches. What we need to do now is indeed to reach the realm of human witches as soon as possible, as Brother Ah said.
When they returned to the village, when the militia soldiers and the Menghuan people saw them, no one asked them what they were doing in the cave, and Menghuan Chilong did not say anything, but led a group of people into the mountains and forests, and completely disappeared.
