Section 24 Ancestral Depiction
Mobile tribes, this is not unusual, early herdsmen were born after water and grass, but mobile villages are rare.
I met Shangguan and Murong in the village, and the village chief, Georgia, asked me to help them retrieve the crystal skull to avoid the catastrophe, because I drank some wine during the meal, my head was a little dizzy, and the village chief arranged accommodation for me.
Ellie led me to a separate stone house, where the mutton fat lamps were still lit, the walls were blackened with smoke, and I lay down on wool felt and quickly fell asleep.
When I was in a daze, the "six-fingered miracle doctor" Zawang came to my bed again, took out the gamma spectrum scanner, and began to test my body.
When he finished the test, I tried to ask, "What were the results?" ”
"It's normal, everything is under my control. If you're willing to help us, I'm going to give you foresight now! Zawang retracted the instrument and said to me.
I wanted to continue asking, but I found that my mouth was dry and I couldn't open my mouth.
Zawang thought I was hesitating, so he said, "Then you can think about it again!" Maybe you really can't do it! ”
He turned to leave, and Ellie entered with a black clay bottle and poured me a bowl of milk.
"You are a warrior chosen by our tribe, and I believe you can save our tribe!" Ellie said to me slowly, "If you are willing to agree to the village chief's request, I will take you to a mysterious place!" Ellie said to me.
After drinking the milk, I felt better and replied, "Where?" ”
Ellie said to me with a serious face: "The place where our ancestors lived, you will definitely be surprised when you go!" ”
I said, "But I'm afraid I won't find the crystal skull you need. ”
"Don't worry, we'll all help you, there are some things that we don't have to come forward for, and it's much more convenient for you, are you willing?"
Looking at her sincere eyes, I nodded in agreement.
She reached out and pulled me out of bed, and said to me, "I'll take you to that mysterious place now, and don't be surprised or loud whatever you see!" ”
I agreed, and she took my hand and left the house.
It was already dark outside, the mountains were roaring, and I wrapped my cycling jacket tightly, but I couldn't see the road clearly, and I felt a delicate hand pulling my hand tightly.
I don't know how long I walked, Ellie suddenly let go of her hand, I continued to walk forward, but my feet were empty, and I was planted, Ellie hurriedly turned around and pulled me up, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you can't have night vision!" ”
She was busy patting the dirt on my clothes for me, and whispered: "The road ahead is not easy to walk, I'll carry you!" ”
She was more than a head lower than me, and she was small, and I hurriedly said, "What's so embarrassing?" I'll carry you, you show me the way! ”
I had already squatted down, and Ellie was a little shy, but she still lay on my back, and said to me, "Be careful with your step, raise your legs high, and settle down slowly!" ”
After walking a short distance, a faint light appeared on the hillside ahead, and Ellie cheered in my ear: "That's it, we're almost there, you have to pay more attention to your step!" ”
As I continued to carry Ellie on my back, I felt the rocks under my feet begin to crumble and roll down the hill, and I was panting from exhaustion.
"Put me down!" Ellie said to me.
I noticed that the light was coming from a cave in front of me, and the path beneath my feet was smoother.
Ellie ran to the mouth of the cave, prostrated herself on the ground, and began to bow down.
I looked curiously into the cave, and through this circle of light, we entered the cave, which was very dry, but there was not much space, and the walls of the cave were carved with strange patterns.
The light is emitted from these patterns.
"This is the cave where our ancestors lived, you can see the patterns carved on the cave walls!"
The lines of these patterns are simple, and the outermost one is a strange bird in the priestly sky of a primitive tribe dressed in animal skin.
Continuing to look inside, I saw divers wearing masks, and the primitive people bowed to him.
"Isn't that weird? Look at this man with a mask! Ellie asked me.
I replied, "It's not surprising that someone met a diver and carved the pattern!" ”
"Look at the back!" Ellie continued to guide me.
Here's the next pattern: the "diver" enters a ball submarine and then dives underwater.
I said, "This must have been deliberately carved by someone, it's normal for us, there's nothing strange about it!" ”
"Another pair, look at it again!"
The last mate, also the "diver", stepped out of the submarine and was greeted by a group of primitive people.
This "diver" has six toes.
"Xiaolan, look at this person, he gave birth to six toes!" Ellie introduced me to me.
I replied frankly: "It's not surprising, my cousin has six toes, doesn't Zawang have six fingers?" ”
Ellie took off one of her leather boots and said to me, "Look, I'm six toes too!" ”
Seeing her white feet, I explained, "It's called mutation, the village chief said that your village will move, what is the situation?" ”
Ellie put on her boots and replied, "I don't know, sometimes we wake up and find that there is a market town outside the village, so we go into the town to exchange things with them, and some people enter our village, but no matter how we leave the village, or outsiders enter our village, they will return to their places after the night!" ”
I didn't understand, but Ellie sat down on the floor and motioned for me to sit down next to her.
"We have experimented more than once to have outsiders stay in our village, we stay in the towns we meet, and after dawn, the people who stay there are gone, and our villagers will also appear in the village!"
When I heard this, I questioned, "If it's so magical, will I disappear after dawn?" ”
Ellie said: "No, because you were invited by Zawang to enter, and you will not disappear!" ”
At this time, there was a rumbling sound outside the cave, and I thought that the cave was about to collapse, so I hurriedly pulled Ellie out of the cave, and saw a dazzling light staying in the sky opposite the cave entrance.
As soon as my feet were empty, I planted down the hillside.
Ellie also rolled down the hill with me, and then I felt a pain in my body, and my eyes went black, and I fainted.
When I woke up, I thought I was dreaming, because I was on this huge iron plate again, and there was more Ellie by my side.
This time we didn't step on the "stainless steel" basin, but stood in the lines of steel, but this is a bit dangerous, these lines are not knee-deep, and they are more than a person wide.
I heard a "boom" and Ellie hurriedly said to me, "Let's get out of the groove!" ”
She was the first to crawl out of the ravine, then reached out and pulled me up, and we both looked together into the large disc, a spike that reached out into the sky, and at the bottom of the spike was a large ball of iron.
The spike began to glow, and Ellie hurriedly covered my ears with her hands and opened her mouth wide.
With a loud bang, the iron ball at the bottom of the spike began to move down the trench.
"What is this?" I asked Ellie.
