After Ellen finished speaking, I chuckled in my heart and almost knocked the cup to the ground. Despite this, I tried to comfort myself that it might just be the blood of some animal, and it must not be ...... At this time, Elanlin whispered to us again: "Don't eat what is on the table, there is something wrong with this place." ”

I was about to ask her what she had found, when the patriarch walked in with a smile on his face. He sat next to me and politely asked why we didn't eat and if we weren't used to the food here.

I saw that his face was kind and friendly, and I didn't know how to answer, so I simply asked, "Thank you very much for your hospitality, I am a little curious about what tribe you are, and why do people here wear masks?" ”

The patriarch laughed heartily and said that they were a branch of the Mosuo tribe, and today coincided with the ancestor worship day, and wearing a mask on the ancestor worship day was a custom that they had handed down.

Hearing this, I muttered in my heart, will the Mosuo compatriots dress up like this? They wore grimace masks, and in their black robes, they looked like wizards.

Zheng Tian beside me knocked the bowl with chopsticks: "It seems that you are not from the clan here, otherwise why don't you wear a mask, or do you feel stuffy and breathless?" ”

The other party is an old man, and I was a little rude when I heard Zheng Tian's words, so I quietly pinched him.

The patriarch didn't care about this, he pointed to his wrinkled face with a thin finger and said, "Young man, how do you know that I am not wearing a mask? ”

As soon as these words came out, several of us had a look of surprise on our faces.

Don't...... Could it be that this old man is wearing a human skin mask?

Zheng Tian changed his tone and asked him what he meant, but the patriarch didn't answer, his smile gradually retracted, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

"Let's go!" I shouted, but I just wanted to stand up but found that my body was weak, and I collapsed on the chair, my head was dizzy, and in a trance, I saw Zheng Tian and Ai Lanlin on the side also became painful.

What's going on? We didn't eat anything, didn't we...... Is it the wreath around my neck? I glanced at the eerie scent of the petals, and gradually lost consciousness.

……

When I woke up again, I was in what looked like an underground lair, and it looked like I had been locked in a dungeon. I cursed hatefully in my heart, rubbed my eyes and glanced around, but I didn't see any trace of Zheng Tian and Ai Lanlin, could it be that they were switched off?

The thought of being alone in this dark and damp dungeon at this moment made me feel a little scared. Be sure to get out of here!

I staggered to my feet, trying to clear my head, only to find that my backpack was still behind me, and when I opened it, I saw that there were a lot of things inside.

It's strange, why did those masked men leave my backpack so unusually? What was even more unusual was that I walked around and didn't meet a single guard! All I had trapped was a wooden fence, and I pushed it hard and was surprised to find that it wasn't locked at all! These masked men are not afraid that I will escape? No, there must be something else going on in there.

I stepped out of the cage and into a hallway, where every other section appeared a recess for oil lamps on the walls on either side of the corridor, and the oil lamps flickered faintly, like bright eyes staring mournfully at all those who should not be here.

I looked at the oil lamps and felt terrible, and I held the dagger in my hand and moved forward.

After walking for a short distance, I noticed that there was something more on the wall of the passageway, so I took out a flashlight and took a photo, and found that there were many patterns of flying snakes engraved on it, exactly like the one I saw at the gate of the village!

I was about to take a closer look when I suddenly heard a strange sound like rubbing against the floor, and I immediately became nervous, and I scanned with a flashlight, but found that there was nothing around, and soon everything was dead and silent.

When this person is nervous, his mind will be wild, and he will become sensitive to the things around him. Just as I was about to get around a corner, I noticed something swaying on the ground in front of me. In the dim light, the thing seemed to flicker on and off, and I held my breath to shine the flashlight on, and found that it was a shadow!

Is there anyone hiding around the corner? I immediately raised my courage and shouted, "Who's there!" ”

After a while, seeing that there was no response, I grabbed my dagger and slowly approached the corner. The closer I got closer, the harder my heart beat harder, thinking that I would fight for my life later, but when I came to the corner, the shadow disappeared from the ground, as if it had been blown out by the light of a candle.

I froze where I was, not understanding what was going on.

Anyway, I was relieved, I leaned against the wall with one hand and wiped the cold sweat on my face, then turned my head to look ahead, and found that the road ahead was blocked by an iron gate about three meters high, which was already rusty, I stepped forward and pushed it with my hand, but the door was not locked.

I pushed the iron door open little by little, but when the iron door opened, something suddenly pounced on my face, and I hurriedly turned to the side to avoid it. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a big mouse with a slender beard, and the mouse saw that it had just pounced in the air, and it continued to pounce on me as if it was crazy, and now I was prepared, and at the moment when this guy was about to catch my face, he carried it out with a knife.

It's normal to have rats in this kind of place, but what makes me feel strange is that this rat seems to be hiding behind the door to sneak up on me and kill me, which is really evil.

At the other end of the iron gate was a huge stone chamber, and the light inside was very dim, and thanks to my flashlight, I was able to take a look at the place.

I went down a few stone steps and saw a black coffin in the center of this stone room, in this case, if it was Uncle Dao or Brother Qi, it is estimated that I would have opened the coffin and said hello to the tomb owner, but I don't have the courage, not to mention that there will be a thousand-year-old zongzi popping out of the coffin, just the mechanism inside is enough for me to drink a pot.

I turned my gaze to the walls around me, and saw that they were painted with patterns, the most obvious of which was the flying snake that was used as a totem, the flying snake was quite large, and under it stood many ancestors with weapons besieging it, these ancestors were strangely dressed exotics and Central Plains people in armor, and they seemed to be hunting together, or resisting these flying snakes.

The mural after mural is supposed to be a narrative, which piqued my interest, and I immediately took a flashlight and looked carefully along the aisle.

The first picture above should say that the two parties began to swear to prepare for war, the second picture is that the group of people were attacked by a group of flying snakes before they had time to set off, and the third painting has a Central Plains costume military general highlighted by it, it seems to be created by a flying snake, almost dead, I look at this general, I always feel a little familiar for some reason, as if I have seen it somewhere, after recalling it in my mind, my heart trembled: this Central Plains costume military general is a little similar to Xiao Qing, the king of Ning, in the ancient tomb of Zanglong Mountain!

Although I was surprised, I quickly calmed down, because the ancients did not seek to resemble the form but to seek the likeness of the gods, so many portraits of people came out of almost a mold, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties could still be applied to the Ming Dynasty.

Then I turned my attention to the fourth painting, which tells the story of two people fighting with the flying snakes, and the battle was terrible, and the sky also changed dramatically, and the sky thundered in the sky, and it rained down with fiery arrows......

Just as I was about to check the fifth painting, I suddenly heard a strange sound of rubbing against the floor behind me, which frightened me so much that I wondered if it was the owner of the coffin who was going to raise the corpse!

I shook my spot for a while, only to find that the sound did not come from the coffin in the center of the stone chamber, but from an ear chamber to the right of the chamber. As time went on, the friction grew louder and louder, and my eyes were fixed on the ear chambers, and the scenes of various zombie ghosts and ghosts kept coming to my mind.

"Squeak" - the small door of the ear chamber was suddenly pushed open, and my heart was in my throat.

"Zheng Tian!" The moment the door was pushed open, I cried out happily, and when I saw that it was this guy, I wanted to rush up and give him a hug.

But what made me feel strange was that Zheng Tian didn't seem to pay attention to me, but only slowly approached the coffin, and the steel crossbow in his hand was also dragging on the ground, so there was a grinding sound.

Seeing that he didn't respond, I shouted again, but he ignored me. Now I was in a hurry, and scolded this turtle grandson for joking with me at this time, just when Zheng Tian walked to the coffin, he gradually turned his head to look at me, and his eyes became extremely resentful, giving me an unprecedented sense of strangeness, which frightened me to stop cursing immediately.

I don't know why Zheng Tian became like this, I feel extremely uncomfortable in my heart, and at this moment, the small door of the left ear chamber was also pushed open, and out of it was Ai Lanlin.

Seeing her, I rekindled my hope and shouted: "Ai Lanlin, I'm here, that guy Zheng Tian seems to be a little wrong, don't get close to him." ”

Who knew that Ai Lanlin's situation was the same as Zheng Tian's, so she ignored me at all, but walked to Zheng Tian's side step by step.

The next scene made me stand upside down instantly: Zheng Tian and Ai Lanlin hugged each other, and the two of them let out extremely crazy laughter, or crying. What kind of plane are these two people working on?

Just as I hadn't calmed down, Zheng Tian suddenly looked at me again, his eyes full of fierceness. Then he slowly lifted the steel crossbow in his hand and aimed it at me! I was in a hurry and scolded this grandson for being crazy, but no matter how much I insulted, he didn't stop until the moment he pulled the trigger, and the steel arrow "swished" into my chest.

I twisted my body in pain and took a few steps back, and finally planted myself in the ditch in front of the mural.

I felt my body slowly submerge into the ditch, and the foul-smelling ditch water mixed with my blood poured mercilessly into my nostrils, filling my mouth, and soon my world was left with a desperate darkness......
