Liao Kai was ecstatic and said, forty years ago, his grandfather and others were likely to enter the forbidden land of Jiuli Ancestral God by mistake, he couldn't wait to go, looking at Liao Kai's appearance, I was worried, he interpreted the four words of death for money to the fullest.

But the most troublesome thing is that Ye Zhiqiu actually plans to go, I know that the more bizarre it is, the more attractive it is to her, after all, it may be able to uncover a mysterious history of the Jiuli clan, not to mention Wen Ru, a person who doesn't even want his life for the sake of cultural relics, has no fear of ghosts and gods at all.

I sighed weakly, even if I wanted to go again, it was impossible for Ye Zhiqiu to put himself in danger, not to mention that the relationship between the Jiuli Ancestral God and the Eye of the Earth has not been clarified so far, it seems that knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, we have to go to the forbidden land of the gods once.

We promised the priest to let him lead the way, but Liao Kai, who wanted to go to the most among us, was not in a hurry, let us go back to Miao Village to prepare first, after all, what we want to go deep into is the inaccessible primeval forest, and we must bring enough supplies in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

What Liao Kai said is not unreasonable, so many people have not been able to come back forty years ago, this trip is afraid that it will be more auspicious, we immediately rushed back to Miao Village, but Liao Kai did not take us back to the ancestral hall, but went to the ruins of Liao's mansion.

Scar and his people were waiting there for a long time, from the cleaned ruins we saw a hidden iron door, Scar was still holding the paper that Liao Kai handed him in his hand, it turned out that Liao Kai asked Scar to stay just to find this place, we are very curious about what is behind this secret door in the ruins of Liao Mansion, which will make Liao Kai care so much.

Scar pried open the rusty locks, lit the torches and walked down the steps as we followed into the hidden basement, where we watched in amazement in the firelight.

The huge basement was piled up with munitions, Tian Ji was even more excited to see these, after all, he was a soldier, and he was itchy when he saw guns and ammunition, Tian Ji picked up a gun and checked it to be intact, he walked around the basement and told us with a wry smile that there are thousands of guns with light and heavy firepower here, and they are all he can name.

"Garand rifles, Thomson submachine guns, M3 submachine guns, Browning light machine guns, and small-caliber mortars and mountain guns are all American-style equipment, and there is enough ammunition here to equip a regiment, and there are piles of ammunition in the basement." Tian Ji said to us with a wry smile. "This Liao Kai really didn't brag, his family really didn't know how much money they had at that time to buy so many fine arms."

Liao Kai asked Scar and others to take as much as they could, and I understood why he would return to Miao Village, it seems that Liao Kai is not a reckless person, he is worried that in case of danger in the mountains, these guns and ammunition are enough to protect him.

"Take whatever you want to bring it on." Tian Ji picked up a Browning machine gun and said to us while loading ammunition. "More than 100 people haven't come back, I don't know what is inside, and these guns and ammunition may be able to save their lives at a critical time."

We each picked out some guns, and the general chose the ones that he was not satisfied with for a long time, and finally picked up a rifle from the corner of the basement with a happy look on his face.

"How to choose this, so many submachine guns don't take it." Tian Ji glanced at the general and asked with a smile.

"Those things don't work like that." The general replied skillfully pulling the bolt. "If this thing is used well, it's the life-saving thing."

"Yo, the old man still knows how to shoot?" Tian Ji smiled.

"When Lao Tzu took the gun, you bastards were still in your mother's legs." The general loaded a lot of ammunition on his body and replied triumphantly.

Coming out of the basement, except for Wen Ru and Ye Zhiqiu, all of us were almost armed to the teeth, which made Ye Zhiqiu a little uneasy in the battle, after all, she was used to holding a probe shovel and a brush, and she had never seen an archaeology to hold a gun.

"Put it on your body, and defend yourself when you encounter danger." Tian Ji handed over a pistol to Ye Zhiqiu and taught her how to use it.

Ye Zhiqiu took it blankly, it took two hands to pick it up, the muzzle of the gun was not impartial and just aimed at me, the palace lord blocked in front of me one step, pushed Ye Zhiqiu's muzzle aside, turned his head and glanced at Tian Ji: "Do you have a long brain, you dare to give her a gun like this, and when the time comes, it will all hit you on the back." ”

Gong Jue made a pun, and everyone could hear that he was complaining that Ye Zhiqiu was powerless, I was afraid that he would be on the bar with Ye Zhiqiu again, so I walked over and put the gun in Ye Zhiqiu's bag: "Don't worry, it's not me, if there is anything behind me, I will protect you." ”

"Is it so exaggerated, we are going to archaeology to explore the ruins, you think we are going to war." Ye Zhiqiu pursed his lips, avoiding my gaze a little shyly, and his mouth was still unrelenting.

"Look at her like this, do you still need your protection?" The palace lord glared at me angrily, turned around indignantly and left. "You'd better mind your own business."

"What did I say again, how did it look like I had eaten gunfire." I shouted loudly with a wry smile behind Gong Jue, I was too tired to be caught between him and Ye Zhiqiu, and I really didn't know how Gong Jue would target Ye Zhiqiu everywhere.

After getting ready to rest for the night in the Miao tribe, the next day we rushed to the Jiuli tribe with the mules and horses we bought from the Miao village, and when we arrived, the priest and everyone in the tribe were waiting early, the priest was wearing a brand new black robe, and the other Jiuli descendants surrounded us in the middle.

Then some young women, holding vessels with blood-red paint, drew an eye on each of our foreheads, and then the priest carried us to the stakes, holding brass bells and willows, and led us to the stakes, and he sang and danced around us as he chanted and danced the words, and all the descendants of the Nine Dawns around us knelt around us, and sang words that we did not understand.

"It's so grand, it's too enthusiastic, and it's singing and dancing." Tian Ji looked at the people around him and felt a little uncomfortable. "It's too polite, it's all on your knees."

This seems to be some kind of ritual presided over by a priest, I turned my head and asked Ye Zhiqiu beside me, what is this doing, Ye Zhiqiu also shook his head blankly, not knowing it.

I glanced at Wen Ru beside me, whose face was gloomy and solemn, and it took a long time before I whispered: "Similar to a religious ceremony I saw in Miao Village, Jiangxi, it is a sacrifice to the ancestors. ”

"They respect their ancestors, what are they kneeling down to us?" The general asked, puzzled.

"In their eyes, we already belong to their ancestors......" Wen Ru said in a low voice. It was a kind of sacrifice, usually with cattle and sheep, and now, they are using us as sacrifices to their ancestral gods. ”

"Sacrifice?!" Ye Zhiqiu looked at Wen Ru in surprise. "Sacrifice with the living! There is no such record in the Miao religious culture I studied? ”

"They are descendants of Jiuli, and the most primitive sacrifice is to use living people." Wen Ru took a deep breath and replied. "I heard the priest in Jiangxi tell me that the early sacrifices to the ancestral gods did not belong to the selection of living people, but to the people who had to be selected by the ancestral gods."

Hearing Wen Ru's words, I suddenly thought of the strange voice that sounded in the priest's room that night, saying that we were all chosen by God, and I thought it was a great honor, but I didn't expect it to be chosen to be sacrificed.

When the ceremony was completed, the blind priest, supported by the tribesmen, led us into the endless mountains, which were slippery at first, but gradually the road became blurred, and after a day there was no trace of the passage in front of us.

As far as the eye can see, the mountains are all covered by thick vegetation, washed by the rain, from the distant mountains rush and stretch into the distance, there is no gap, the mountain stream and the river are vigorous and turbulent, there is a kind of barbarism, fierce, Jiuli people are full of awe of this mysterious forest.

The tall trees that grow all year round are strange and gloomy, and the strangely shaped roots and intertwined vines in the forest sea are intertwined with each other, forming a natural barrier, as if there is a pair of keen eyes behind each tree staring at the foreign invaders.

But the Jiuli people in front of them are familiar with shuttling through the mountains and forests, if they don't lead the way, it won't take half a day for us to get lost in this deep mountain, after walking for about three days, the Jiuli people in front stopped, we followed and saw them stop next to two big trees full of vines.

When the priest asked the Jiuli people to clear a place on the big tree, we were shocked to see a hideous and terrifying three-eyed unicorn pattern exposed in front of our eyes.

The priest told us that this was the entrance to the forbidden land, and that according to the decree of the ancestral gods, they were not allowed to step into the forbidden place for half a step, and they could not go any further, and the priest raised his hand and pointed to it and said, "When we enter, we will see bronze pillars with patterns inscribed on them, and we will follow these signs to reach the forbidden place of the god that they think symbolizes death."

Liao Kai couldn't bear it anymore, nodded at Scar, he led his subordinates into the forbidden land without the slightest awe of this forest, standing in front of the two bronze pillars, I hesitated for a long time, there was always an inexplicable panic, but the strange thing was that I always felt that there was something in my ears coming from the depths of the forbidden land.

Yes!

I hesitated, but was pushed in by Ye Zhiqiu behind me, the boundary divided by the bronze pillar, in my eyes is like a ghost gate blocking yin and yang, looking at Ye Zhiqiu speechlessly, she put her bag on her back, and looked at me with disdain: "Can you be like a man, look at your little talent, two pillars will make you afraid of being like this." ”

"Did you hear anything?" I didn't bother to pay attention to her, I turned around and asked the palace lord behind me, and everyone else nodded affirmatively, there were too many sounds in the forest, the sound of water flowing, birdsong and the sound of animals shuttling through the forest.

"It's not...... It's not these voices......" I shook my head blankly, and I heard another voice that I couldn't describe, like a call whispering in my ear.

"What did you hear?" Wen Ru in front of him looked back in amazement and looked at me with a surprised gaze, looking at his expression as if he was a little shocked.

"Nothing...... I felt like someone was chanting in my ears. I was not sure of the answer.

"Could it be too tired?" The palace lord's hearing was the most sensitive among us, and he listened for a long time, shook his head, and asked me with concern.

"Perhaps." I rubbed my forehead and followed the line in front of me.

When he passed by Wen Ru's side, he was still stunned, looking at me with strange eyes, and he looked at him and found that Wen Ru's eyes were full of puzzlement, and he muttered to himself: "How can you hear ......?"
