"In the past?" Ye Da looked at Tang Qianlin and asked for his opinion.

Tang Qianlin looked at the people in front of him and on both sides: "Go and see, if something is wrong, run immediately, but remember, don't run in the direction of the camp." ”

Ye Da followed Tang Qianlin towards the front, turned his head and glanced back: "Why didn't Liu Mouzheng follow us?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I don't know. ”

After walking past the campfire, the two finally saw that there were countless wooden houses built into trees in the so-called jungle behind them.

The so-called trees are just enlarged versions of some of the wild plants they see on weekdays, and on the open space below, there are still many animal skins dried, judging from the appearance of those furs, most of them are voles, and there are huge hare skins.

Ye Dadao: "The voles and rabbits here are so big, aren't the wolves the same as elephants?" ”

Tang Qianlin stopped and looked at the dried furs: "I have a guess. ”

Ye Da asked, "What?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Maybe it's not that everything here has become huge, but that we have shrunk. ”

Ye Da was puzzled: "Huh? Shrunk? ”

Tang Qianlin looked around: "That's right, it's just that we have shrunk, maybe the so-called Tiangong Pillar has this kind of magical power, and when we pass through that thing, our bodies will shrink." ”

Ye Da smiled: "." ”

The leader of the underworldrs was half-hunched over, looking very respectful, and waved his hand tremblingly to signal them to move forward.

"Where are you taking us?" Ye Da looked at the room around him.

Tang Qianlin's gaze fell on the largest wooden house in the center: "Probably there." ”

Ye Da frowned: "What kind of place is that?" The chief's home? It looks pretty big. ”

"Maybe." Tang Qianlin looked around left and right, "This place is very primitive, but according to Liu Mouzheng's explanation before, these people are all slaves of the so-called god. ”

Ye Da smiled: "Do you believe in the existence of gods? ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "I don't believe it." ”

Ye Da asked: "After experiencing the snow sealing ridge, you still don't believe it?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Those are not gods, if they are gods, the divine domain is a forbidden land, since it is a forbidden land, the gods can easily make people unable to enter and exit with their abilities, how can they still set up traps?" It's a very simple logic. ”

Ye Dadao: "I am following you now, and I have gradually become an atheist." ”

Led by the leader of the underground people, they finally came to the hut, and then, with ropes lowered, two strong men crouched down in front of them, and the leader motioned for them to come forward.

The leader said, "Please." ”

Tang Qianlin wondered: "What do you mean?" ”

Ye Da smiled: "It seems that these two men are going to carry us up." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "There's no need for that." ”

As he spoke, the two grabbed the rope and climbed upward, and the rest of the underground people immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

After climbing up, the two looked at the underground people who were still kneeling and bowing with torches below, and they couldn't understand it.

When Tang Qianlin was still looking down, Ye Da turned his head to look at the room, then was stunned, raised his hand and pointed inside, and said, "This ......"

Tang Qianlin turned his head to look at the sound when he heard this, and he was also stunned, because there was a wood carving in the room, it should be said that it was a very delicately carved wood carving, the wood carving was a man sitting there cross-legged, the man was wearing the costume of a shaman, on his left shoulder stood an eagle, on his right shoulder stood a crow, there was a swan lying in his arms, and on his raised right hand stood a magpie with his head raised.

The most important thing is that the man's appearance is exactly the same as Ye Da's.

Ye Da slowly stepped forward: "I now understand why they are bowing to me." ”

Tang Qianlin wondered: "No, when they saw me, they also bowed." ”

"yes, why?" Ye Da walked up to the wooden carving, "Why is this statue exactly like me?" ”

Tang Qianlin reacted very quickly: "Don't forget, your family is the one who guards the Shaman's Spirit Palace, and maybe it has something to do with your family." ”

Ye Da touched his chin and looked at the wood carving: "The four spirits are here, eagles, crows, swans and magpies. ”

Tang Qianlin looked at it carefully, and suddenly said: "It should be the five spirits, not the four spirits, don't forget, the corresponding is the five evil stars, and the fifth is this person." ”

Ye Da was stunned: "People are also a spirit? ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Don't forget, in the so-called animism of all things, all things also include people. ”

Ye Da didn't agree: "Really? It feels weird, because as far as I know, the spirits in shamanism are all animals. ”

Tang Qianlin said: "The eagle spirit represents memory and spirit, the swan represents strength, the crow represents wisdom, the magpie represents the past and the future, and what does the last spirit, that is, man, represent?" ”

Ye Da smiled: "Maybe it just represents people." ”

When Tang Qianlin approached the wood carving to take a closer look, he found that there was a disc under the wood carving, with many dark patterns engraved on the disk, and there was also an incomplete map of the Five Evil Evil Stars that was covered by the legs of the wood carving.

Ye Da squatted down and looked at it carefully: "Why was Xingchen Diagram sitting under his ass?" ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "I don't know, but the disc below is very similar to the bronze disc that Liu Mouzheng is holding in his hand, which is the last key." ”

Ye Da looked at it carefully: "It's indeed very similar, but it's much bigger." ”

Tang Qianlin got up: "Before my Master Yefeng died, didn't we overhear a conversation between the Japanese and the German scientist?" The German named Victor said that on the other side of the world, in Peru, there is a magical place, known locally as the Gate of the Gods, and to enter that door, you have to decipher a golden disc and use that disc to finally enter that door. ”

Ye Da nodded: "It sounds very similar to the Shaman Spirit Palace." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "In Victor's statement, it seems that in the so-called Inca Empire, they are also primitive nature worship, and they feel similar to shamans, but the name is different." ”

Ye Dadao: "The word shaman is originally very broad, and it is completely different from the so-called Taoist priests, monks, and the like. ”

Tang Qianlin said: "These underground people worship this, which means that they regard this as their god, although I can interpret the shamanic cipher, but to speak fluently, it is a little troublesome, can you say it?" ”

Ye Dadao: "Try it." ”

Tang Qianlin walked out of the wooden house, stood on the platform outside, looked down, Ye Da then also came out, cleared his throat, and said to the leader of the underground people below in shaman cipher: "You come up." ”

The leader's eyes widened at this, and he struggled to control his joy, and then slowly climbed up the rope.

After climbing to the platform, the leader lay on the ground and refused to get up for a long time, until Ye Da asked him to get up, and he slowly got up, but he still hunched over, not daring to look up.

After the two of them took the leader into the wooden house, Tang Qianlin said, "Ask him, what is his name, what is the place here." ”

After Ye Da finished asking, the leader lay on the ground and replied, "We are all nameless people, servants of God, and this is God's garden. ”

After listening to this, Tang Qianlin and Ye Da glanced at each other.

Ye Dadao: "What kind of mess? ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Ask again." ”

Ye Da asked again, but the leader's answer was exactly the same.

Tang Qianlin was puzzled, feeling that these people seemed to have fixed thinking, so he pointed to the statue: "Ask him, who is that?" ”

After Ye Da asked, the leader trembled with fright, kept saying something, and was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat, and finally tears flowed out.

Tang Qianlin squatted down and listened carefully, only to realize that the leader was begging for mercy and begging them for forgiveness.

Ye Dadao: "It seems that they don't know anything, and it seems that they really treat us as gods, and feel that this is God testing them." ”

Tang Qianlin thought for a while and said, "Let's take it another way, ask him what he needs us to do for them." ”

Ye Da said: "Good idea. ”

After Ye Da asked, the leader immediately stopped crying and pleading, and continued to kowtow, but with joy on his face, he then knelt on the ground and moved outside the house, and then slowly got up and asked the two to go down.

Before going down, Tang Qianlin glanced at the wood carving in the house again, and always felt that there was some secret to that thing, which he hadn't discovered.

After the two of them came down from the treehouse, the leader immediately gave instructions to the others, and soon after, dozens of women holding children walked out of the surrounding treehouses, and then knelt in a circle around them neatly, and began to bow to Tang Qianlin and Ye Da.

The leader also began to say something at this time.

Tang Qianlin listened carefully and found that the leader was singing, so he asked Ye Da: "What is he singing?" There are some words I don't understand. ”

Ye Da listened to it for a while and said, "It's "Eji God Sacrifice Song". ”

After the leader of the underground people had finished singing for the first time, the women began to bow their heads and sing in unison a second time, all in a gentle voice, fluttering among the trees, giving people a pleasant feeling—

O god Eji, I beg your permission to have many children,

Let them run around me and play freely.

In the spring breeze, I can smell the charming fragrance emanating from them,

O god Eji, please listen to my sincere prayers.

Ye Da felt that something was wrong when he listened to it, and whispered to Tang Qianlin: "The lyrics they sang are missing three sentences. ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "Which three sentences?" ”

Ye Da said: "At the end of this song, there are three sentences of 'waiting beside me, my man, my lifelong partner', but they didn't sing it, I don't know why." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Tell them that you want to see the husbands of these women." ”

After they finished singing, Ye Da immediately asked according to what Tang Qianlin said, but he didn't expect the leader to show a surprised look and a panicked expression, so he looked at Ye Da directly.

Ye Da was puzzled, so he had to ask again, and then the leader said tremblingly: "Aren't you the father of these children?" We're all your kids. ”

Tang Qianlin and Ye Da were stunned at the same time, Ye Da swallowed and said: "Don't talk nonsense, what do you call my child, don't say such irresponsible things with red mouths and white teeth, even if I have that heart, I don't have that ability, and I'm not a breeding pig!" ”

Tang Qianlin slapped Ye Da from behind: "Don't be poor! Seriously! ”

Ye Da had to get serious again, but at this time, Tang Qianlin found one thing, these children looked about the same age, because he had brought children before, he could basically judge that these babies seemed to be just full moon.
