The air is still filled with the smell of barbecue, but this smell makes my stomach contract violently, this isolated group actually cannibalism, look at the pit behind you, presumably all the people who disappeared in the dense forest, the final destination is here.

The old woman was eating human flesh while talking something I didn't understand, and more than a dozen men got up, holding dry firewood and piling it up under our heads, looking at the posture, which was going to roast us all.

According to what Xue Xinruo said, this is a matrilineal clan, and only after the leader eats it first, can it be the turn of the others, needless to say, the five of us are afraid that this group of barbarians will have dinner tonight.

When everything was ready, the old woman slowly stood up, wiped her greasy hand on the animal skin, and walked over with a stick with a snake bone inlaid at the top, I looked at her with trepidation, and then I saw clearly the lines on her face, composed of many dots and curved lines, I could not see what the pattern was, but her eyes were hidden in this chilling pattern, and fell to my eyes, no matter how I looked at her, she looked like a monster with hair and blood.

The old woman walked around us with her waist bent, then shook her body with her cloak and sang strange words in her mouth, dancing around us like a madman.

"This is an old saying we found in caves." Xue Xinrou said suddenly.

"What is she singing?" I quickly turned around and asked.

Xue Xinrou listened carefully for a long time, looking very painful, probably forcibly enduring the nausea, and struggling to distinguish the old woman's difficult language: "She is saying that we trespassed on the sacred mountain, disturbed the resting ancestors, and in order to calm the anger of the ancestors, they want to ...... us."

"How?" I saw Xue Xinrou frightened Ting halfway through speaking.

"Eat, eat." Xue Xinrou's face turned pale.

"Eat?!" Behind him, Tian Ji's frightened voice came. "What, how to eat?"

"Damn, I didn't think that my Ye Jiuqing's final retribution was actually to give people meat to eat." Ye Jiuqing spat and scolded. "Tell these bastards, if you want to kill, you have to kill anything, bring Lao Tzu over first, and if you want to die, Lao Tzu doesn't want to die upside down."

The old woman and the others ignored us at all, and continued to sing disturbing words from the old woman's hoarse vocal cords, Xue Xinrou trembled and translated the old woman's lyrics, this group believes that the human soul is in the head, punish the guilty person, and start burning from the beginning first, so as to destroy a person's soul, which is similar to what we often say about the soul flying away.

These races see cannibalism as a way to absorb and gain power, believing that by eating their enemies, they can devour their souls.

"Xinrou, since you can understand, can you speak their language?" I asked eagerly.

"Roughly."

"Tell these people that we got in by mistake and see if there's an explanation." I say.

Xue Xinrou thought for a long time before she opened it slowly, and said to the old woman in a very stiff and slow voice, I guess I didn't expect that we would speak their language, and the old woman suddenly moved in front of Xue Xinrou, her voice hoarse and cold roar.

Although I don't understand what she means, I can understand by looking at the meaning of the old woman, all attempts are in vain, Xue Xinrou timidly told us that this group believes that we have trespassed on the sacred mountain, and there is no way to appease the anger of the ancestors except to kill us.

The men around us had already raised their torches, and I saw the flickering fire upside down, and for the first time I found that fire can also make people fearful, but in fact, for death, I really saw it, that is, I was burned alive, and this way of death was too uncomfortable.

The old woman began to read again, as if the cannibalistic ritual was coming to an end, and the old woman stopped in a place where I could not see, and suddenly heard a cry of pain from the field chicken.

"Tian Ji, are you okay?" I asked, a little flustered.

"This old thing has cut a cut in my chest." Tian Ji replied as he gasped.

I twisted my head hard, just in time to see the old woman walking next to me, she tore off my clothes, and then stretched out the wooden stick in her hand to me, which was inlaid with snake bones, and the old woman forced, the sharp snake teeth pierced into my body, chanting and paddling at the same time.

"Fuck, give me a good time, even if I'm dead, I won't fucking let you bastards go." I gritted my teeth and endured the pain, and yelled at the old woman.

I guess no one can guess what I'm thinking at the moment.

What about Xie Tianhui?

What about Zhuo Mingfeng?

I'm about to be roasted and eaten, these people who used to protect me at all costs, now all of them have died, since they care so much about my life and death, and now they don't save me, is it possible to wait for me to become barbecued?

I have such an idea, mainly because, since the Eye of the Earth has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, our every move should not be able to hide from them, not to mention that Ye Jiuqing also made the matter of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace public, it stands to reason that when we go to Bingzhongluo, the Eye of the Earth should send someone to follow secretly.

But it wasn't until the old woman left a long wound on my chest, and the necklace around my neck was cut off, and blood flowed down my neck and on my face, blurring my vision, and no one came out to save me.

The old woman smeared the blood on my chest with her fingers, which should be a part of the ceremony, I tried my best to shake my head, disgusted to be touched by her, and suddenly found the old woman moving, looking at the ground with a surprised gaze, those hideous and terrifying eyes were full of shock and confusion.

She said something loudly at me, her expression was frightened, and although I could not understand what she said, the old woman repeated it several times, and the more she spoke, the louder it became, as if she was asking me the same sentence.

"What is she talking about?" I was anxious and asked Xue Xinrou next to me.

"She asked, she asked the rope, where did the rope come from?" Xue Xinrou was a little difficult to translate.

"Rope? What rope? "It's uncomfortable to be tied upside down, I tried to see the old woman, and suddenly found that she was holding a necklace that had been cut off, and I immediately reacted in my heart, she was asking me, where did the necklace come from, I hurriedly said to Xue Xinrou." Quick, tell her that the necklace is mine. ”

Waiting for Xue Xinrou to speak, the old woman looked at me in even more surprise, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly pulled out the bone knife to cut off the rope that bound me, I fell to the ground, looking at the people around me in a panic, the old woman raised the wooden staff in her hand, and the entire mountain top was suddenly silent.

The old woman pointed at me with her finger, but her head was buried, with humble awe, and she said something strange, I didn't pay attention to it at all, and quickly let go of the others, and Tian Ji picked up a wooden stick to block in front of us, and was pressed down by Xue Xinrou.

"She said, she said you were an oracle?!" Xue Xinrou said to me in surprise.

As soon as the old woman's words fell, a group of hundreds of people fell to their knees one after another, worshipping me devoutly, and we looked at each other without knowing what was happening.

The old woman walked to the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, where there was a naturally formed stone platform, a bright moon hung in the sky, the old woman respectfully put my necklace on the stone and erected it, she turned to look at us, and also knelt on the ground with trembling, worshipping in a posture almost like a five-body throw.

There was a high-pitched and frenzied shout behind us, and the group made a single voice, as if celebrating something, and we slowly turned our heads away, only to realize that it was not me who worshipped this ancient tribe.

The moonlight shone on the necklace erected on the stone platform, and the long shadow was cast on the flat stone wall behind the top of the mountain, and in the firelight, a feathered dragon with teeth and claws cruising appeared vividly, and with the swaying of the firelight, the projected feathered dragon seemed to swim on the stone wall.

They are worshipping the feather dragon, which shows that this ancient tribe knows the origin of this dragon, and it seems that our speculation is correct, the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat once appeared here, and this ancient tribe has not only witnessed it with their own eyes, but also contacted the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat.

For the ancient people, the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat is a miracle, they respect the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat as a god, when my necklace falls, it should be accidentally opened, and the old woman will react so much when she sees the feather dragon above.

After the worship, we were worshiped by this group of ancient tribes like gods, I tied the necklace and put it back on my neck, the old woman invited us to sit in the middle of the position, and the other tribesmen had been in a circle for a long time, kneeling around us, and several women knelt in front of us with food.

We were already hungry, but no one dared to eat the meat that was brought, but fortunately, there were still some mountain fruits in the middle, and I looked at the ancient tribes around me while eating, and my eyes fell on the old woman's body, her head was still buried in the ground.

"These people know about Yulong, which means that this tribe has been in contact with the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace." I turned to Xue Xinrou and said. "Maybe you can get some clues from them, first ask about the origin of this ancient tribe."

Xue Xinrou thought about it and talked to the old woman in blunt words, but the old woman knelt on the ground and didn't dare to talk, and replied in a very respectful voice.

Xue Xinrou communicated with the old woman for a long time, and the more she talked, the more surprised her expression became, and it took a long time to tell us that the old woman was the witch of this ancient clan, and she was in charge of the witch in the ancient clan.

"Wu Zhu is a witch, in ancient times, the ghosts and gods were called witches, and the priests praised the gods as blessings, and they can dance to worship the gods, communicate with the gods, and sacrifice to the mountains and rivers of the shrine, usually responsible for driving away evil spirits, cleaning, praying for rain, and praying for good wind and rain." I was taken aback and muttered to myself. "Regarding the earliest appearance of Wu in the Zhou ceremony, it means that there was a Wu Zhu in the Zhou Dynasty, but looking at this ancient clan, it seems that they have existed for a long time."

"She said that this ancient tribe is a witch tribe." Xue Xinrou talked with the old woman for a long time and said to us.

"They're witches!" Ye Jiuqing looked shocked. "The Wu clan has a long history, a long history, originated from ancient times, the ancients believed that all things have spirits, and can make the gods come through spiritual inspiration, so there is a group of people who specialize in dancing to summon the gods, that is, the Wu tribe."

I suddenly remembered that the last time I saw Yin Die, she told us that there was a place mentioned in the Book of Mountains and Seas, called Wuxian Kingdom, and the people here in the records handle the green snake in their right hand and the red snake in their left hand, which is particularly similar to the totem of Lingshan.
