Chapter 920: Human Tracks
Chi You's tone was uncertain. 2. In this world, perception will be slightly distorted. He could pinpoint something approaching, but he couldn't tell if it was a human being, or an alien race like a corpse.
"It's human." Li You jumped on a high slope next to him, looked into the distance for a moment, and said, "There are more than ten people, it doesn't look like they're coming at us, it's like they're hunting, chasing something." ”
"It should be the mausoleum keeper." Tai Shi was refreshed. Taishi has been to this place, and he also knows from the records of the royal family that the only human beings in this world are the mausoleum guards sent by the royal family and their descendants. Of course, with the treacherous and difficult nature of this world, there are not many descendants of the mausoleum keepers.
A creature resembling an antelope was driven to Li You's side by humans in the distance.
"What a fast guy!" Li You couldn't help but admire the degree of creatures in the Lifu World. Of course, this also means that hunting for the Terrans in the small world has become extremely difficult.
And Li You also saw that there was an arrow stuck in the root of the animal's hind legs. It is even more judged that this group of people is hunting.
Li You's figure moved, and he flew towards the animal. The animal was still twenty or thirty meters away from everyone, and when it saw the human being, it was already ready to turn around and look for other ways to escape, but it didn't realize that Li You's degree was so fast, and as soon as he moved, he had already arrived in front of him.
Li You stretched out his hand and grabbed the animal's neck and twisted it slightly. The animal's head suddenly turned upward, with a soft click, and its limbs still ran forward for more than ten meters before it fell to the ground with a burst of dust.
"Who are you waiting for?"
Seeing Li You and the four of them, the hunters in the distance stopped, their expressions vigilant and solemn. There are basically no strange-faced people in the small world, unless it is the royal family who opens the door to the royal tomb. But if King Zhou dies, often the royal family also notifies them in advance through secret methods, and it will not appear suddenly.
While asking, several hunters also scattered around, but the bows and crossbows in their hands were aimed at Li You.
"But the mausoleum keeper?!" Tai Shi panted and trotted over with the box: "Don't do it, this is an angel who came here to give you blessings!" ”
Tai Shi's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense is not small. Although Li You's identity as a "godman" has been admitted in his heart, Li You has never heard of such a thing as a god-man giving blessings, but Tai Shi has already made decisions for him without authorization.
"You are ......" Tai Shi Guo was wearing the official uniform of the Zhou Dynasty. The appearance of this kind of clothing in the small world means that the people who come are allowed by the royal family. It will also deliver food to the small world, as well as the corpse of a dead King of Zhou.
"The history of the interior is too historical. You've probably heard my name. Taishi inhaled heavily. "I came here more than a decade ago. When the king died, I was responsible for recording the burial of the king's tomb. Speaking of this, Taishiguo's breath had been straightened out, and he said to everyone: "Which king's mausoleum keeper are you?" ”
Each generation of Zhou kings had their own funeral procession. The Zhou Dynasty has had fifteen kings so far, and the bones of twelve of them are buried here. In addition to the tomb guards of King Wen and King Wu, some of the other Zhou kings and tomb guards survived. Not only slaves were sent here, but also a large number of palace maids and female slaves. Palace maids and slave girls are often not killed, but are promised to the mausoleum keepers, so there are descendants of the mausoleum keepers.
"We are the guardians of King Zhao and King Mu." When Taishi asked a question, the hunter immediately knew that the other party's origin was innocent, and immediately reported to the monarch he was guarding. Of course, King Zhao and King Mu were already monarchs hundreds of years ago, and these mausoleum guards are no longer the original mausoleum keepers, but their descendants. "Lord Neishi came this time, did King Zhou die?" The hunter asked.
Hearing that King Zhou Mu's mausoleum was also here, Li You was excited in his heart. He has a lot of interest in the legendary son of King Zhou Mu.
"Non-......"
Tai Shiguo began to tell the other party the reason why he entered the small world this time. What made Li You feel strange was that Tai Shi Guo couldn't tell the truth, and chose to hide it in some places. Tai Shi emphasized that when they came in this time, it was the envoy of the Emperor of Heaven who landed in the mortal world and came to the royal family. The king of Zhou remembered that the mausoleum keepers in the small world were suffering, so he asked the gods and men to pray for the blessings of the mausoleum keepers, and at the same time opened the royal tombs to worship the kings of Zhou.
The person who can follow the Fallen King into the small world to guard the tomb is not low. They are often the henchmen of a certain king, and there is no shortage of scholars and martial strategists, and their descendants are no worse than the royal elites of the outside world. It's just that he lives in a closed environment all year round, and his vision is slightly worse.
Taishi's words did not convince the mausoleum keepers. The closed and stable environment also makes these people's concepts backward and conservative, and they dare not exceed the rules left by their ancestors. In the concept of the mausoleum keeper, if there is no king's coffin to escort in, then the royal tomb cannot be opened. Even if Tai Shi said it wildly, he couldn't violate the ancestral system.
But that's not something these hunters can decide. After confirming Taishiguo's identity, the hunter also led everyone to their tribe.
The total number of hunters involved in the hunt was eleven. The oldest thirty-seven years old is the hunter's collar, Ji Carp. The youngest is thirteen years old, and he is a fire. Life in a small world is not easy, and Ji Li, who looks like he is in the prime of life in Li You, already looks like an old man over sixty.
Along the way, Li You learned more about this group of tomb guards.
The mausoleum keepers of each generation of Zhou kings almost always formed a relatively independent tribe, not because they excluded each other, but because the land in the small world was too barren, and it was impossible to feed more people in the same area.
King Zhao of Zhou and King Mu of Zhou are father and son, and the population of the small world was not large at the beginning, and the mausoleum keepers of King Zhao and the mausoleum keepers of King Mu had many direct relatives, so the two mausoleum keepers lived together at the beginning, and finally formed such a clan.
Later, there were more and more mausoleum guards stationed in the small world, and in order to make it easier to identify, the tribes gradually became famous. The name is often based on the original title of the mausoleum keeper. For example, Ji Li's tribe calls itself the Tang Cai Department because of the original line of tomb guards, and their ancestors once sealed the Tang and Cai Kingdoms.
The Tang Cai tribe has multiplied more than 700 people so far, which is the first tribe of the human race in the small world, and the rest of the tribes, most of them are two or three hundred, and there are only dozens of people, and they are on the verge of extinction. Fortunately, the tribes here are not like other worlds, or the tribal times of the primitive period of the flood and famine, the tribes will support each other, so although the small tribes are difficult, they can support each other for a while with the help of other tribes.
"Have you ever thought about leaving this place?" Li You suddenly asked.
