After the repeated scuffle just now, the cave was in shambles, but fortunately, a few clever people directly brought all the mules and horses into the deepest part of the cave after discovering that the situation was wrong, so the supplies did not suffer any losses.

We were all immersed in great grief, I don't know what the others thought, I still don't know the names of those two warriors, and I'm not going to ask Axi to grieve, I just know that I don't want to see anyone die again.

"The yin ground is settled, the sun is red, and it is about to set in the west. Send the souls to relatives and friends, it is time to return to the sun. I came from the east, and I had to go back to the east, and follow the moonrise, toward the moonlight. The moon has come out of the mountain, hurry back quickly, the sun has no soul and does not shine, the moon has no soul and is unknown, and people have no soul and do not live. When the soul returned, the relatives and friends of the clansmen did not linger for a long time, leaving ghosts to rob the soul. "Ah Xi, Lian Rui and everyone in the mule team sang the "Soul Sutra" together, and they were overtaken for the warriors who died in battle.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! They pulled the trigger of the powder gun in unison towards the outside of the hole.

This is a kind of funeral ritual called "Guzhi Gusheche" by the Yi people, which means to fire at the devil who comes to haunt the soul of the deceased, and remove the evil demons on the ancestral path for the soul of the deceased.

The firing of the gun is equivalent to the successful end of the funeral.

The dead are gone, the living are like this, we were attacked in the middle of the night, and the corpse marrow mother worm and "Pu Zhu Yi" fought for a long time, everyone was tired and hungry, but fortunately, we did not lack supplies, and everyone silently made a fire to make food.

"Life is a hero, death is also a ghost!" Grandpa offered wine to the sky.

"To the warriors of the Yi family!" We toasted together, and everyone drank it all, just one cup, no more, and it was not time to drink heartily.

We swallowed our meal like a date, and then wrapped it tightly in the "Zarva" or lay down or sit down to rest, because a harsher road awaited us.

I was awakened by a crisp bird's call, a ray of sunlight shining through the dense woods outside the cave, I smelled the incomparably fresh air in the mountains after the rain, and felt that everything I experienced yesterday was like a dream, but the corpse of the corpse marrow mother on the ground, which was still gushing out green water from time to time, was announcing to me that none of this was a dream.

Since yesterday when the stallion saw two Yi warriors sacrifice themselves to save us, the excitement of hugging the lotus stamen has also turned into silence.

"One life, and the boy of the Ma family, do you think all this is too cruel? Do you find it unacceptable? Grandpa asked.

The stallion and I nodded.

"If you can't stand it anymore, you can find two mules and go back now, and stay incognito, and never mention the search for your parents again." Grandpa continued.

"No!" We disagree either.

"Now you know why, you used to pester us to ask this and that, and we didn't tell you why, did we? If you want to find out for yourself all the truth you want to know, then you have to learn to face everything! Instead of complaining that you don't want to see someone sacrifice, why not keep getting stronger? Grandpa continued.

Everyone understands the truth, the bloody case of the four major families of Liuwei is of course very tragic, but I was not born at that time, and my feeling is far less intuitive and shocking than seeing someone die generously in front of us in order to save us.

Grandpa is right, instead of complaining, it is better to keep improving myself, the stronger my skills, the more I can protect the people I want to protect in many things I want to do in the future.

Good! No matter how many Fire Sea Sword Mountains there are ahead, come on! Let you all be my stepping stones until the day I find out the truth!

The stallion also has a resolute expression, I know that he is similar to what I think, then there is no need to talk nonsense, we have six micro blood on our bodies, the glory of our ancestors, we will guard!

There is a rugged sheep intestine mountain road next to the Ejue Luo Cave, like a long snake with no end in sight, winding into the deepest part of the funnel mountain, at the end of the road, is the forbidden place of the Yi people for generations "Hey Zu Lada".

A team of mules is struggling down this muddy "road", not so much a road as a trace of a mule team.

I'm in this mule team, and I'm working with you towards the final goal.

Although there is still a day to go, the surrounding environment has already entered the climatic and geomorphological range of "Hey Zulada".

We have to first climb over the mountain at our feet, continue to go deeper, in order to reach the destination, it is impossible to go around, this is the real funnel mountain, the mountain is as its name, "Hey Zu Lada" is surrounded by mountains in a vast basin in the middle, like a huge funnel, hence the name.

On the periphery of Funnel Mountain before Ejueluo Cave, most of the area is shrubland and meadows, and with Ejueluo Cave as the dividing point, it is full of primeval forests.

The vegetation here is distributed in a vertical spectrum, and we have long walked through the broad-leaved forest belt, and now we are driving in the mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest belt.

Because there is no road at all, even if grandpa they came here a few days ago, the mountain rain, the dense grass can cover all the traces you passed before, so now grandpa is pointing the way, and the mule team alternately holds long knives and axes in front of them to open a path for the mule team to pass, and the general direction is right.

Compass, compass? Don't be funny, after some geological exploration in the early years, it has been proved that the rocks here are mostly volcanic rocks, and the rocks contain a large amount of iron, manganese, magnesium, silicon, etc., resulting in very different magnetic fields.

In this magnetic field, the clock will stop, the compass and compass cannot read accurately, and no instruments will be used, otherwise how could a well-equipped anti-Japanese army enter it and no one survives.

Because of the terrain, we went up and down the mule countless times during this period, in fact, if you count the distance in a straight line, it is not too far, but a lot of time is spent on the road, so the progress is very slow.

Grandpa and Ah Xi are at the front of the team, the stallion since the last time he saved the lotus stamen, this little beauty is not as resistant to the stallion as when we first arrived at the Maji cottage, they walk in the middle of the team, and occasionally whisper a few words.

I followed them slowly in the second half of the group, I took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat and mud on my face, thinking that fortunately this is a subtropical, the temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius all year round, and the mountain bears and tigers have long been hiding far away when they see a team of our size, and there are no wolves here.

If this is a tropical rainforest, in addition to the hot weather, but also to deal with those poisonous insects and beasts, that is the purgatory of the world, I sincerely admire the ancestors, in all kinds of harsh environments to fight, I capitalize the clothes!

The mule team stopped, and I looked ahead, and there was no road ahead.

"After this 'ghost grinding', it's time to 'hey Zu Lada'." Ah Xi pointed to the place in front of us and said loudly.

When I looked over, I saw a ridge dividing the blue sky into two parts of the north and south, the west and the east, the ancient trees, the centuries-old moss and huge ice gravel everywhere, I admired the beauty of this place, but also found that the terrain here is more complex, the mountains are steep.

"The foggy ditch is accompanied by the protection of the pool; The ape is so sad that he has climbed, and the hero is sad to pass this level. When Soma and I arrived here, he said that this is what our ancestors used to describe this place. Grandpa said.

I was about to ask where the fog was, when I saw everything under the mountain turn white and then disappear.

Before we knew it, we had come to the peak, and under the face-like peak, it was a valley that was going round and round, and we now needed to pass through this valley known as "Oni Tui Mo", which was the last barrier before reaching "Hey Zu Lada".

Ah Xi just followed the old hunter here and didn't dare to go any further, and after Grandpa and Soma's father were attacked by the three-faced zongzi in this before, they didn't go any further and turned back to the cottage, so there was no experience to learn from the next journey, and the luck was unpredictable.

The only information that can be found in the ancient Yi texts is that this valley, known as the "ghost tui mo", looks ordinary, but once you go deep into it, you may be dizzy at any time by a thick fog that suddenly gushes out of nowhere, and if you break around in the thick fog, you may fall into a dark hole or some other place, or you may be attacked by fierce beasts.

It was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and when a mule came down the mountain, he stepped on a loose stone and rolled down in an instant, but fortunately the vegetation here was dense and was quickly blocked by a big tree, and we were in a hurry to push the mule up and back on the road.

The woods here are getting denser and denser, and there is hardly sunlight in them, so we have to light torches, and the soil on the ground is so soft that it is the result of thousands of years of new and rotting trees, and animal droppings.

When it got dark, we finally reached a hillside in front of the "ghost mill" and started to set up camp, why not go down? Because going down is within the scope of "ghost grinding", who knows what awaits us there, and now we can wipe out any kind of ghosts and ghosts.

Finally resting again!

The people of the mule team are busy building fires, and the nights in the primeval forest are very cold, and if you don't make a fire, you will freeze, and the fire can also drive away beasts and snakes, insects, and rats.

I found a stone to sit down and drink water, and the stallion came over and said, "I don't think it's very good here, any fog is a natural phenomenon, you said that most of the people who got lost here before have fallen into the dark hole of the underground river or something, and scared themselves?" Why don't we study it? ”

I asked him, "Why don't you take this opportunity to linger with Lian Rui at night and come to me for a while?" ”

The stallion said: "You know a fart, if the relationship between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight?" You don't know how well Lian Rui and I get along after our cave adventures, and she will definitely make a promise when she goes back this time! After saying that, Tian Tian smiled shamelessly.

Made, this grandson has learned to show affection, I took out the compass, and the stallion and the stallion took a look at the faint light of the campfire not far away, and saw the pointer keep swinging from side to side, and then slowly moving in a clockwise direction, this is a fart!

"Hehe, two boys who don't know the height of the sky, didn't they tell you that there is a magnetic field here, the latitude here is 29 degrees north latitude, and the Bermuda Triangle and the pyramids are in the same place called the 'Death Latitude Line' by countless explorers, if it can be easily cracked like this, it will not be so that no one has been able to penetrate into it for so many years and still survive." Grandpa sat by the campfire and said to us with a smile.

"Hey, old man, what do you think of here?" I asked Grandpa.

"When Old Man Ouyang was in the Dou Realm, we hadn't been born yet, what scene had we not seen? He can't know what to do tomorrow, right? The stallion spoke.

"Haha, boy of the Ma family, if you say this, Ma Da Nose may be fooled, and it won't be of much use to my old man." Grandpa laughed.

But then the grandfather said: "The two boys listen well, the yin and yang are divided into good and bad, and the three elements are unpredictable." ”

As soon as I heard my grandfather say this, Made, although my grandfather taught me so many things, I am still far from learning and applying, and then asked my grandfather, "Tomorrow is the fifth day?" ”

Grandpa said with relief: "It seems that the good grandson has not forgotten what I taught you. ”

The stallion scratched his head and said: "Isn't this in Qimen Dunjia, my old man taught me when I was a child, but I'm not interested in these things, I have long forgotten about them." ”

The stallion is right, this is a higher and deeper formation that evolved from "the second general of the eight trigram wheels and eight sections, and one qi and three are authentic".

In terms of the year's qi, the metabolism of the four o'clock, the cold and the heat are repeated, three hundred and sixty days and one day a week, with two to two escapes, the body of heaven and earth yin and yang, and for the use of personnel.

If it is said by one hexagram, one qi fifteen days, five days for one yuan, fifteen days for three yuan, one yuan for twelve hours, three yuan for a total of one hundred and eighty hours, but within one qi, according to the wonderful use of the three elements, the solar terms rotate, there is no trace, and the difference between the surplus and contraction of the minutes and seconds is all in the method of super-connection of the divine qi to make up for it.

The ancient tomb of the Changsam Man is here, as a disciple of Ge Xuan, since he has a plan to achieve immortality after a thousand years, how can people easily disturb him?

This place has become a dangerous place, which is the game he set up thousands of years ago, and he used the special terrain here, coupled with Taoist methods, so that countless explorers have no return here.

The stallion asked me if I knew how to crack it, and I did learn it in theory, but I never used it in practice, so I was really not sure.

I smiled and asked the old man to tell me how to crack it when the magnetic field was unstable, but the grandfather didn't say anything, went to the campfire to eat and went into the tent to sleep.

"Little Dragon King, Dumas, you can also come and eat something and rest quickly!" Lotus is beckoning us.

"Hey! Sister Lianrui, I'm here! "The stallion is going to be a mess.

I suddenly feel that this road is the most difficult road I have ever walked in my life, compared with the underground of Niuwang Temple, I think the underground of Niuwang Temple is simply heaven, and now I miss the Yi family banquet in Maji Cottage even more, and create evil!

If only you didn't feel tired without eating, I thought so, so I found a nearby bonfire, sat down with the mule team and ate a few roasted hot buckwheat baba, nibbled on a few mouthfuls of air-dried mutton, drank a bowl of rice wine, found a tent and went to sleep.

This is no better than the periphery of Funnel Mountain, and the "Zarva" alone cannot keep out the cold, so you must enter the tent and cover the quilt.

With the crackling of the campfire, the whispers of the watchmen of the mule team, and the howls of unknown beasts deep in the mountains, I fell into a deep sleep.

"Wake up! The kid of the Ma family is gone! "Sleepy-eyed, I was suddenly awakened by my grandfather's shouting.
