Xue Xinrou continued to communicate with the old woman with great difficulty, and gradually we learned the origin of this ancient tribe, not to mention that there are hundreds of people in this tribe, but they have their own religion and culture and unique calendars, they have lived in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time, isolated from the world and live the most primitive life.

They had always believed in the serpent as a god, and long ago, their ancestors saw a great ship descend from the sky, pulled by nine giant serpents with two wings, and landed here, and since then, their beliefs have changed, and the nine serpents have shocked the tribe more than the serpents they had believed in.

As a result, their totems gradually began to change, with two entangled snakes, symbolizing the transformation of the traditional snake pattern into a dragon pattern.

"She said that this tribe is the Wu Clan of Lingshan!" Xue Xinrou said to us ecstatically.

"Lingshan really exists, ask her, where Lingshan is, if you find Lingshan, you can find the place where the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace is moored." Gong Jue was excited.

This time, I didn't have to wait for Xue Xinrou to translate, I saw the old woman shaking her head, her voice was very low, and sure enough, Xue Xinrou told us that this Wu clan did not know the exact location of Lingshan.

"They are the Lingshan Wu Clan, how can they not know the gathering place of their own ethnic group?" Tian Ji was puzzled.

The old woman raised her head for the first time, still looking at me with a humble attitude, and muttered a short sentence in her mouth.

"She, what is she talking to me?" I saw that the old woman's eyes were full of anticipation and eagerness, and I hurriedly asked Xue Xinrou.

"Go home......" Xue Xinrou looked at me in surprise and said. She's asking you to show them their way home. ”

"Go home?!" I was stunned. "Back to what?"

"Back to Lingshan."

"Ah......" I looked at the old woman kneeling on the ground in surprise, I originally expected her to lead us to Lingshan, who knew that these kneeling people were still counting on me. Ask clearly, what is going on, how did they leave Lingshan, and why can't they go back? ”

Xue Xinrou talked with the old woman for a long time, I saw her expression more and more surprised, she told us the whole thing, the ancestors of this Wu clan also lived in Lingshan at the beginning, in the old woman's description, Lingshan is indeed a golden city, she only knows that Lingshan is in this endless forest.

Xue Xinrou said, listening to the old woman's conversation, the Wu clan should regard the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace as a snake god, after all, they have never seen a dragon shaped like a snake, but far more powerful than a snake, and the Wu clan built a palace for the snake god to worship.

While building the palace, the snake god asked the Wu clan to dig a cave in the hanging wall of the sacred mountain, and the Wu clan in front of us is the descendant of the tribe who was ordered to dig a cave here at that time.

"These caves were dug by the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace?" I said with a frown. "In that case, the excavation of these caves must have other meanings."

"Could it be that the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace wants to leave a mark?" Gong Jue thought about it and hurriedly said to Xue Xinrou. "Ask her, when did the snake god arrive at Lingshan, and when was the cave we went to excavate?"

After Xue Xinrou asked, she picked up a branch and painted on the ground, she told us that the Wu clan has its own calendar, and she is converting our time according to the Wu clan's calendar.

"Judging from the time, it should be fifty years before the Western Jin Dynasty." Xue Xinrou looked at the final calculated numbers on the ground and said. "Not long after the snake god arrived at Lingshan, the Wu clan began to build palaces, and those caves began to be built almost at the same time."

I silently calculated this time in my heart, and the others were still confused and didn't understand the connection between the palace and the cave, but I slowly understood that the lost artifacts from the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace were the Divine Domain Map, the Nirvana Wheel and the Golden Compass, and before and after the Western Jin Dynasty, four people had left the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace one after another.

Leave a huge pattern composed of caves on the mountain wall, this is the mark left by the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, the reason why the feather dragon is not used, is that it is worried that it will be discovered by the Twelve Ancestral Gods, presumably this totem has another meaning, only the people on the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace can understand the secret.

The Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat is moored behind Lingshan Mountain, and through this pattern, it transmits news to the lost.

"Then why is there a ship coffin inside?" Ye Jiuqing asked.

Xue Xinrou explained unhurriedly, the completion of the entire cave lasted for a hundred years, and when this Wu clan wanted to return to Lingshan, they found that they could not find their way back, for a group of people who have lived here for generations, the familiarity with the dense forest is beyond our imagination, in their eyes, shuttling through the dense forest is like walking on the ground and familiar with the road.

But they couldn't find the way they came, everything seemed to have been changed, they had tried to find it, but gradually they were horrified to find that they would also be lost in the dense forest, this forest they were once familiar with was suddenly unfamiliar, and like us, they did not dare to go deeper.

Therefore, the witch tribe was trapped here, and they had been trying to find a way to return to Lingshan, and gradually they pinned their hopes on the snake god, believing that only after death, the soul could return to their homeland after the snake god rested in the ship.

That's why they placed the coffin of their leader in the cave, hoping to receive God's protection and guidance.

"Wait, that means that this Wu clan can still return to Lingshan while they are in charge of building the cave?" Ye Jiuqing asked seriously.

Xue Xinrou asked for a while, then nodded and said that before the completion of the Snake God's palace, they could all return to Lingshan, and the manpower required to build the cave was no less than that of repairing the palace, and it always needed to continuously replenish manpower, so before the completion of the Snake God's Palace, other witch clans in Lingshan would also be sent here one after another.

But the structure of the witch clan is very strict, from top to bottom are the ghost master, the big ghost master and the small ghost master, the ghost master must be a witch, and the one sent here to build a cave is the big ghost master, only she has the right to return to the spirit mountain, but with the completion of the snake god palace, the number of times the big ghost lord goes back is getting less and less.

"Could it be that the way back to Lingshan is changing?" Ye Jiuqing was puzzled.

"What the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat needs is a dock to moor, once it is completed, it will definitely not let the secrets and location of the dock be leaked, and it is not difficult to see from the Kunlun Golden Gate and Vientiane Shrine that the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat has the ability to clear memories." The palace lord said thoughtfully. "The reason why this witch clan can still remember the things about the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace is because they are blocked here, so the memory can be preserved and passed down from generation to generation."

"Even the Wu clan, which originally belonged to Lingshan, can't know the way back, even if we know that Lingshan is in this forest, we can't find this place." Tian Ji was disappointed.

The old woman raised her head again, still looking at me with humble eyes, Xue Xinrou was interpreting beside her, she and her people have lived here for thousands of years, and they just want to return to the homeland of Lingshan, and the reason why they eat people is only because they firmly believe that this is the way to communicate with the gods.

In the eyes of the old woman, I am a messenger sent by God to guide them home.

Xue Xinrou was about to speak, but I stopped her, I guess she wanted to tell the truth, from the old woman's eyes, it was not difficult to see how eager they were to return to Lingshan, when she saw the feather dragon in my necklace, perhaps the hope that had been dimmed for thousands of years was rekindled, and it is estimated that it has never been so fanatical as now.

Once they know that we can't help them, when that hope is gone, they will vent their anger and madness on us.

"Tell her that Ruth will have to pick a good day before she can leave." I said in a low voice. "So far, we can only delay it and see if we can think of a way."

My original plan was to stay here first, learn more about Lingshan from the old woman's mouth, maybe I can find some clues, of course, this is just a delaying tactic, the most important thing is to see if I can find a way to get out of here, after all, we live with an uncivilized, and still firmly believe that cannibalism can gain power, once we find out that we can't take them home, the consequences are self-evident.

But my wishful thinking seems to have been wrong, after coming out of the cave, we were knocked unconscious, how did we get here is not clear at all, in fact, none of us know where we are now, Ye Jiuqing and Tian Ji used the excuse to explore the road, but no matter where they went, they looked at the endless forest sea, and they came back and secretly told us that it looked like it was the same everywhere.

If you sneak away, I believe that once you go deep into the jungle, you will soon get lost, and if you are caught by the Wu Clan, it is estimated that it will really become a barbecue.

But the days of staying here are very pleasant, almost nothing has to be done every day, I have been served by five or six women all the time, I have never been so comfortable when I have grown so big, for the first time I have experienced what it means to reach out for food to open my mouth, except that I resolutely do not eat the meat they provide, I feel that I have become a god.

If I hadn't tried my best to stop it, they would have helped me take a bath, the old woman has been serving me, Xue Xinrou has been talking to her during this time, and gradually Xue Xinrou has become more and more aware of the culture and language of the Wu clan.

"Seriously, these women of the Wu clan are actually quite good-looking, why do they have tattoos on their faces, and their tattoo patterns are all the same." Gong Jue suddenly said curiously to Xue Xinrou. "Excuse me, what does this tattoo mean?"

Xue Xinrou explained that there are only two reasons for tattooing in the primitive tribe, either as a symbol of power or as an aesthetic object, she is also a little curious, talking to the old woman, and waiting for the old woman to answer, Xue Xinrou's body straightened up.

"What's wrong?" Tian Ji asked curiously.

Xue Xinrou looked confused and hurriedly said to us: "She said that tattoos are not a tradition of the Wu clan, they were left by the last big ghost master. ”
