I was taken aback, originally thinking that their tattoos were the inheritance of Lingshan, Xue Xinrou continued to ask, and then told us suspiciously, from the Wu clan's calendar, the palace and the cave are almost the same as before. ww．Ｉge.cＯＭ

However, the cave must be built first, and the cave construction time is long, the big ghost lord will return to Lingshan every ten years to worship the snake god, in order to seek the blessing of God, the last time the big ghost lord returned here from Lingshan, he was ready to return to Lingshan with his people, but it was from that time on, the big ghost lord could not find his way back.

The other tribesmen have been staying here to build caves, and it took hundreds of years before and after, and the roads in the dense forest have long since changed, and they do not know the way back to their homeland without anyone to guide them.

"Since the Great Ghost Lord can return here, it is impossible for him to forget the way back?" The field chicken was confused.

"There is another possibility, it's not that the snake god's palace and cave were completed almost at the same time, that is, the big ghost lord is the last person to leave the spiritual mountain, and since the construction of the dock where the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat is moored has been completed, the memories of these participants will be erased." Ye Jiuqing said seriously. "The Great Ghost Lord believes that it was because he left Lingshan in advance, so although his memory was affected, it was not completely erased, so that he could vaguely remember some things related to the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, but as for the way back, he couldn't remember."

Xue Xinrou continued to talk with the old woman, and slowly told us that before he died, the big ghost lord called the next successor to the front, as if he remembered something, but in the end he couldn't say anything, only pointed to a pattern drawn on the ground, so that the next heir must pass it on, and asked to be buried in the cave after death, and the entrance to the cave can no longer be opened.

The inheritors believed that it was an oracle left by the Great Ghost Lord, so they tattooed the pattern on their faces, and required the witches of the clan to tattoo this pattern at a certain age, and in their hearts, this pattern was divine, and tattooing on the face could get the protection and power of the gods.

"No wonder the coffin in the cave has had a fault period, according to time calculation, after the construction of the snake god's palace was completed, the cave was also closed, but why did the great ghost lord make such a decision?" I muttered to myself thoughtfully.

"I think the only possibility is that I don't want the Wicans to be discovered." Ye Jiuqing thought about it and said. "We can see the cave hanging coffin on the sacred mountain, which means that there are other people who can also see it, and the hanging coffin means that there are people in the forest, which undoubtedly exposes the existence of the Wu clan, it seems that the big ghost lord has isolated the Wu clan from the world, and it should be to protect the secrets of the snake god and the spiritual mountain from being leaked."

"What Uncle Ye said makes sense."

Xue Xinrou looked at us and said, the tattoos on the face of the Wu people have a history of thousands of years from the perspective of time, and the southwest ethnic minorities with tattoo customs are not only the Wu people, not far from Bingzhong Luo, there is another ethnic minority with a tattooed face, the Dulong tribe.

Xue Xinrou said as she drew a simple map on the ground with tree branches, and pointed to tell us that the population of the Dulong clan has always been very sparse, so it is also extremely mysterious, and the origin and origin of the Dulong clan have never been confirmed.

The Dulong people are distributed in the valley of the Dulong River basin in Gongshan, west of Gaoligong Mountain, but east of Danglika Mountain, the location is only more than 200 kilometers away.

"The Dulong tribe is an almost primitive ethnic group, both men and women are scattered, girls have the habit of tattooing, the Dulong people believe that all things are animist, worship natural things, and believe that there are ghosts."

Xue Xinrou said this, we all looked at the people of the Wu clan around us, and listened to Xue Xinrou's description, it seemed that we could see the shadow of the Wu clan from the body of the Dulong clan.

Xue Xinrou learned from the literature studied by her grandfather, Xue Shuqiao has always been extremely interested in the language of the Dulong tribe, a sparsely populated ethnic group has its own unique culture and script, Xue Shuqiao has been trying to study the script of the Dulong tribe, trying to find the origin of this ethnic group.

Xue Xinrou went on to tell us that the Dulong girl called the tattoo face, which is a form of coming-of-age ceremony, and the pattern is roughly the same.

Five or six diamond-shaped lines connected by the ribs from the center of the eyebrows to the bridge of the nose, then spread out to both sides of the nose with the mouth as the center, and continue to connect the small diamond lines through the cheeks to the lower jaw, converging to form a circle, and the vertical puncture stripes in the circle are punctured horizontally from the square circle to the eyes.

The whole pattern is roughly the same as what we see from the old woman's face now, and I believe that the inheritance of the tattoo pattern of the Dulong clan comes from the Wu clan.

Ye Jiuqing lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said solemnly, almost all of them knew the location of the Divine Mountain in Bingzhongluo, and it was rumored that there were guards guarding the Divine Mountain in the forest, and it seemed that someone had witnessed the traces of the Wu Clan.

The Wu clan has been isolated here for thousands of years, and it is inevitable that some people from the Wu clan will leave this forest and then evolve into a new ethnic group, and the Dulong clan is likely to be a branch of this Wu clan, so that the Dulong clan will have a history and culture of unknown origin, and also have a language and tattoo customs similar to the Wu clan.

"By the way, I remembered that the Dulong clan called the place where they settled Gongshan, and in the hearts of the Dulong clan, Gongshan is a holy place, if the Dulong clan is a branch of the Wu clan, I guess they should regard Gongshan as a spiritual mountain." Xue Xinrou said.

"Gongshan......" I frowned, and wrote a tribute character on the ground, with work on the top and shellfish below, and suddenly my eyes lit up. The word "I" is the word Wu no one, Gongshan is to imply that the Dulong clan originated from the Wu tribe's lost clansmen, and below is Bei, Bei represents Jin in ancient times, Lingshan is Jincheng, Xinrou is right, Gongshan actually refers to Lingshan, although these Dulong people are separated from the Wu tribe, but in their hearts, the desire to return to their homeland has never been extinguished. ”

"This can also explain why there is a ship coffin with a Lingshan totem in Shu." Ye Jiuqing nodded and said. "It seems that the culture of this ethnic group has been continued and passed on over time."

"If that's the case, will the pattern left by the last big ghost master have other meanings?" Gong Jue asked with a calm face.

"Yes, the big ghost lord left a pattern before he died, could it be that this pattern hides some secrets." Xue Xinrou suddenly became excited. "In the more than 100 years since the cave was built, only the Great Ghost Lord has been able to travel back and forth to Lingshan, you say, will what she left behind in the end be the secrets related to Lingshan Jincheng."

"There shouldn't be this possibility, you think, these people dream of going home, of course the big ghost lord also wants to go back, why don't you take the clansmen back to Lingshan, because he can't remember the way back." Tian Ji shook his head and said. "I can't remember when I'm alive, and I hope she can remember before she dies?"

……

Gong Jue and I raised our heads suddenly, and even Tian Ji, who had just spoken, was stunned by himself, I guess we should think of one thing at the same time,

Xue Shuqiao was stupid after returning from Kunlun Jinque, and he was confused and delirious, and when we were looking for the Temple of the Ancestral God, we met the old man who survived by luck, and he was also demented, because both of them suddenly woke up before they died.

Although the sobriety was extremely short, Xue Shuqiao finally only said these three words, and the old man only remembered what happened in the Temple of the Ancestral God, which shows that they all recovered their memories before they died.

According to the old woman's description, it is likely that the memory of the big ghost lord who was affected remembered something before he died, but before he had time to say it, he drew the tattoo pattern we see today.

"The only thing this witch clan cares about most is to return to their homeland, and the pattern left by the great ghost lord before he dies will only hide a secret." I took a deep breath and said excitedly. "The way to return to Lingshan Golden City!"

But after all, this pattern has been passed down in the Wu Clan for thousands of years, if it is discovered, the Wu Clan should have cracked it a long time ago, this pattern is the only hope for the Wu Clan to return to Lingshan, and at the same time to crack the secret on the pattern, it is also the only way for us not to become the barbecue of these races.

For the remaining ten days, we have been figuring out the pattern of the pattern, but this knowledge is too unfamiliar to us, and the only thing we can count on is Xue Xinrou.

The pattern is composed of countless irregular dots and lines, Xue Xinrou asked the old woman, the pattern on the surface has nothing to do with the cultural inheritance of the Wu people, it can be seen that these abstract patterns are not a clear representation of anything.

We can hardly help Xue Xinrou, Tian Ji seems to be very interested in Wu culture, in fact, we all know that he is interested in Xue Xinrou, just looking for a way to talk to Xue Xinrou more.

Tian Ji held the notes he got from Xue Xinrou, which contained Xue Shuqiao's research literature on the Dulong clan, Tian Ji pointed to a strange pattern and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is the text of the Dulong clan, the following symbols are I have only recently filled in, it is the language system of the Wu clan, it is very peculiar that the language of the Wu clan has almost the distinction between initials and finals, they use only eighteen patterns to combine the language, it is a very advanced language system." Xue Xinrou patiently explained to Tian Ji.

I believe that Tian Ji can't understand it, but looking at his tireless appearance, Gong Jue and I snickered next to him, it's really difficult for him, in order to be able to say a few more words to Xue Xinrou, it's not easy.

"And what does it mean that this is connected to this?" Tian Ji asked with a serious face.

Xue Xinrou buried her head in watching for a long time, squirmed the corners of her mouth to try to pronounce it, and after thinking for a long time, she told Tian Ji: "Translated into our language, it is the word yue." ”

"Yo, I think I'm going to go to the archaeological world." I threw a pebble at him and mocked him.

"Don't make a fuss." Tian Ji gave me a blank look and continued to ask with his notes. "And what do you mean when these are combined?"

"Bright." Xue Xinrou looked at it for a moment and replied.

"I'll ask you one more, what about these ones?" Tian Ji suddenly became a little excited.

"b." Xue Xinrou actually had the patience to answer, but she was suddenly curious. "How can you spell out the three words Moon Bay from these patterns, and you don't understand these patterns, just find a few and put them together, and the probability of coherent words is too small?"

"Don't ask me, you ask her quickly." Tian Ji looked shocked and pointed at the old woman next to him. "Ask her if she knows of a place called Moon Bay around here?"

We didn't care at first, but after Xue Xinrou finished talking with the old woman, she looked at Tian Ji with a surprised expression: "You, how do you know that there is a place called Moon Bay in the forest sea, just now she told me that there is indeed a place with this name in the depths of the dense forest!" ”

We looked at Tian Ji in amazement, he held the note and said to us ecstatically, those dots on the tattoo, different sizes, he put each row of dots to correspond to the language of the Wu clan, the big one represents the initials, the small ones represent the finals, and there are lines on these points, which are exactly eighteen impartially, corresponding to the points below.

These dots seem to have no regular distribution, but they are actually corresponding to the order of the lines, representing the positions in the eighteen language systems, which together are exactly Moon Bay.

We didn't say anything for a long time, but I didn't expect Tian Ji to accidentally crack the secret of the witch clan inheritance for thousands of years, and the last big ghost master left a place name in the pattern, I believe that this place name is related to Lingshan Jincheng.

I hurriedly asked Xue Xinrou to ask the old woman how far it was from here to Moon Bay, and the old woman told her that there was a seven or eight day journey, and I suddenly laughed, it seemed that I really wanted to become their oracle and lead this isolated witch clan back to their homeland.
