At this point, he had a deep worry on his face and kept making silent gestures to us, as if he was worried that we would suddenly speak to Min.

After a few minutes, Min Du let out a long breath, he turned his head, looked at us, then at Waa, and suddenly smiled: "Vaa, are you here to protect me?" ”

Vaa put his straw hat back on top of his head, the shadow of the hat obscuring his eyes and nose to reveal only one mouth, and I saw him grin and give Mindu a smile, after which he quickly left the room, pushing the door softly, intending to close it.

At this time, Liang Houzai suddenly asked him: "When we first came here, how did you know that we were here to find Mindu?" ”

Va'a paused for a moment, then he stretched out his hand and pointed to Dorjee, who was lying next to Luo Fei: "Because of it." ”

With that, Vaa quickly closed the door.

Outside the door, Vaa's footsteps grew farther and farther away, and unlike what I had feared, he wasn't going to eavesdrop on our conversation with Minness.

Mindu jumped out of his chair and ran to the back room to get a glass of water and a piece of cake that looked very thick, and he seemed to be hungry, and when he returned to the table, he devoured it.

Half a piece of bread and a large glass of water were quickly stuffed into his stomach by Mindu, and then he let out a long breath of satisfaction, turned his head to us, and said, "Sometimes when I read a book that is not easy to understand, I have to use meditation to digest the contents of the book, and if the meditation is interrupted in the middle, my soul will hurt." When Va'a came in just now, he must have told you not to speak. ”

I nodded.

Mindu smiled and said: "The Waa people are very strange, the previous generation of Mindu and the occasional travelers who came here were afraid of him, but he is very good, I have been with him since I was a child, his heart is very careful, and my clothes are made by him." ”

Hearing Sensitivity say that, I feel a little more at ease. Maybe Vaa is a killer, but he's still good at Xiao Min.

I didn't want to go into any more discussion about Vaa, but I said to Mindu, "We can't tell anyone about our coming to pick you up in ten years, and you can't tell anyone about leaving here, not Vaa, not Toast, no one." ”

Minnuity stared at me for a long moment, then nodded earnestly.

I smiled and said to him, "Have you finished reading the book?" Let's talk about the contents of the book. ”

Min Du scratched his head: "Do you want to repeat the whole book?" ”

I shook my head, "No, just tell us what the Daredevil is and how to deal with it." ”

Min Du lowered his head and pondered for a while before he said to me: "If you want to know how to deal with the night demon, you must know the origin of the night demon, the book says that knowing the experience of the night demon is the key to dealing with the night demon. ”

I raised my hand at him and motioned for him to start speaking as soon as possible.

Mindu sat cross-legged in his chair, closed his eyes, and seemed to be sorting out his thoughts, and after a long time, he said to us: "There are too many things mentioned in the book, I will only pick up the key points, and I will try to explain some things in detail." ”

Looking at the way he speaks, it is difficult for you to associate him with an eight-year-old child, at this time he does not look like a child, but more like a private school gentleman who sits in a private school and lectures to a dozen young boys and girls.

I was amused by his appearance and couldn't help but smile.

Minnus didn't care that I laughed at him, he cleared his throat in a good way, and then began to make a long statement.

Minitivity says that the reason why the Daredevil appeared in the world was because of an ancient mask.

For more than 3,000 years, there were many scattered small tribes in the west of Qizhou, among which there was a tribe, although it also entered the Bronze Age like other tribes, but it has always maintained the tradition of matrilineal clans, from the tribal leader to the elders of the tribe, all of them are women, and the status of men in the tribe is very low, because they cannot get enough food supply for their long age, and there is a big gap between their height and physique and other tribes.

No one knows how many years this tribe has existed, only that the legend of their ancestors appeared in ancient texts 3,200 years ago, in other words, they existed for at least 200 years, and during these 200 years, they and the nearby tribes should have been in a state of peace, and it was probably this state of peace that allowed them to continue the traditions of the matrilineal clan.

But the leader of the tribe certainly did not expect that the war would begin when she had ruled the tribe for less than five years.

At that time, because the medical skills of Qi Zhou were introduced to various tribes, the number of people in each tribe was increasing rapidly, and the original resources were no longer enough to support such a large population, and the lack of resources led them to show their sharp blades to neighboring tribes, and an inter-tribal melee began.

The tribes, which had retained the matrilineal clan tradition, had suffered in an era when victory was decided by numbers and hand-to-hand combat, and their defenders were a group of sturdy women and some weak men, and such an army was powerless to withstand the onslaught of other tribes.

In order to escape the war and protect his tribe, the tribal leader decided to take his people to dig deep holes in the ground and move underground to avoid the pursuit of the enemy.

They found a cave in a place called Brown Deer Mountain, which was so secluded and resourced that people from other tribes didn't pay attention to it at all.

Mindu said that the book only mentions the cave group, but does not give a specific description of the cave group, but it is certain that there should be enough food and water in the cave group, because after the leader of the tribe discovered this cave group, he took dozens of people to live in it, and this residence was twelve years.

On her first day in the cave, the leader had a strange dream in which she dreamed of a masked woman dancing strangely around her. The next day, when she woke up, she found that there was an extra mask carved out of stone, and you were a mask that matched her face exactly.

In that era, people were extremely fearful of ghosts and gods, and when she saw this mask, she thought that there were miracles around her.

She thought that the mask that suddenly appeared next to her might take her people out of the underground and find a more suitable place to live.

Yes, the mask could carry them out of the underground, but that was the beginning of the disaster.

Since the priest of the tribe had been killed in the war, the leader had also assumed the responsibility of a priest, and since the discovery of the mask, she had worn it every time a sacrifice was held.

Every time she put the mask on her face, she felt full of power, and she could see some "gods" that were invisible to the naked eye.

Sensitivity speculated that those so-called gods should be the geysers entrenched in the caves, and the mask seemed to have psychic abilities.

Since the appearance of the mask, the women of the tribe began to become pregnant in large numbers, and the number of people suddenly increased, and at this time, the leader suddenly had her own ambition to train these soon-to-be-born children into warriors and take them back to the face of the earth.

At the same time, she was more convinced that the mask was a treasure given to her by the gods that would help her people get out of the dark, damp underground.

But just as the leader had this thought, she found out that she was pregnant.

In matrilineal clans, polyandry prevails, so the chief has no way of knowing who the father of the child is, and she does not care who the father of the child is, she only cares about the joy, and when the child is born, she finally has her own heir.

She was pregnant for a whole year, and when she was pregnant for more than the normal period, she had already sensed the power of the gods in her womb, and she knew that the child who was about to be born must have some special connection with the face, and perhaps, this child was also another gift from the gods to her.

A year later, a baby girl was born, as if she had been skinned, her whole body was covered with fresh blood, and from the moment she was born, her face was extremely hideous.

But that didn't stop the chief from loving her daughter, who she still considered her newborn daughter to be a gift from the gods. To this end, she also held a grand ceremony to celebrate the birth of this newborn.

When I heard Mindu mention "ritual", I immediately thought of the first mural I saw on the stone gate, and if I guessed correctly, that mural should have depicted the scene of the ceremony.

Mindu said that when the baby girl was born, not only the chief, but all the clansmen were very excited, and the book said that many clansmen at that time said that the baby girl was sent by the gods to save them.

Under the care of the leader and the clansmen, the baby girl grew up day by day. From an early age, she showed great talent, and at a very young age she was able to speak and think like an adult, and even think more delicately than the wisest of the group. And when she was six years old, the leader was pleasantly surprised to discover that his daughter really had the power to stop the flow of rivers and make dry wood fire out of thin air.

But when the chief's daughter reached the age of seven, the tribesmen discovered that the heir, whom they had cared for since childhood, was unbearably cruel, she loved to torture all the animals she saw, and some people even saw her leave the earth and go to the battlefields of other tribes to steal dead corpses.

These words reached the ears of the chief, but the chief did not care, she thought that if her tribe wanted to leave the earth, sooner or later it would be the best of the other tribes, and a brave and fearless heir was what she needed.

At that time, although the chief's daughter was cruel, she did not use this cruelty on her own people, and over time, everyone gradually became accustomed to her strange behavior. Some of the children thought she was brave and fierce, and volunteered to be her henchman before she became a leader.

The chief's daughter seems to have an extraordinary contagious power, and those who follow her regularly are also affected by her, and their hearts become cruel and murderous day by day.

When her daughter was eight years old, the leader made a new discovery, she found that when her daughter held the mask, both her daughter's magic power and the divine power on the mask would become stronger, so she simply gave the mask to her daughter, and let her daughter train a valiant army, and when the time was right, she would kill it back to the ground.

Four years later, when the two most powerful tribes were fighting near Brown Deer Mountain, a strange army suddenly came out of the ground, most of the soldiers in this army were unusually strong women, and the leader was a masked girl, no one knew what the girl looked like, only that she had blood-red skin.
