5.24 Ten layers of demonic flames, each with a ghost
Wu Chen expected to see a group of unkempt barbarians wearing leather skirts, gathered around the fire pit in the center of the hall while catching lice for each other. Outcome......
A fairly decent middle-aged man dressed in sackcloth was smiling at Wu Chen through the stone platform. In the hall next to the long platform, at the low table near the door, there was a diner wearing a fur hunting suit similar to Wu Chen, who was snoring evenly.
Glancing at the gray wolf hunting suit on Wu Chen's body, the middle-aged man behind the long platform nodded lightly at him.
Wu Chen stepped forward, and just when he didn't know how to speak, the middle-aged man spoke first: "Eat or stay in the hotel?" ”
In fact, the words that came out of the middle-aged population are not only short, but also quite strangely pronounced. Wu Chen didn't know what it meant, but because of the connection of the primordial gods, he learned the correct meaning of a few words from the four major gods.
Wu Chen repeated the few sounds made by Murong Wei to the middle-aged man. The translation is: "Eat first, then stay in the hotel." ”
"Okay." The middle-aged man took a domino and handed it to Wu Chen: "Fire Cave." ”
Wu Chen took it casually. The domino was found to be engraved with the word 'fire' in an oracle bone inscription.
"Master, this is the Huozi room." Murong Wei said with a smile.
"I see."
With the wisdom of the ancestors, naming different guest rooms is obviously not a complicated matter. Wu Chen glanced over and saw that there were still many dominoes hanging in the lattice-shaped grottoes behind the long platform. The oracle bone inscriptions engraved on it are: sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, forests, fish, insects, birds, etc. It seems that different cave houses have different environments. Sun, Moon and Star, these are the upper class rooms. Yamakawamori is a medium-sized room. Fish, insects and birds are obviously inferior.
The fire hole in his hand. It should be a suite for hunters.
Hunters are actually a very old profession. Before learning slash-and-burn again. The men's daily job is hunting.
And the job of the women is usually to gather.
Speaking of which, you will understand why men and women behave so differently when it comes to shopping.
When a man buys something, he basically goes into a store and almost buys it out. And women can't wait to go through the entire mall and decide which store to go to. Now that I think about it, could it be the reason for the different division of labor among the ancestors?
Hunting requires only one target. And the collection takes an entire forest......
Pottery.
A pot of broth brought by the innkeeper from the back kitchen. Black pottery is used. This is a typical Neolithic product.
And judging from the monogamous family model, it should be the late Neolithic period of transition from a matrilineal clan society to a patrilineal society. About 5,000 years ago. For the ancient civilization of the East, which already had pottery 20,000 years ago, 5,000 years is indeed nothing. Of course, these are all Wu Chen's knowledge from the earth. It remains to be seen whether the realm of the piano is established.
There were already bronzes in this era. Because in addition to a bone spoon in the soup basin, there is also a bronze short knife used to cut meat.
Wu Chen took the knife in his hand, looked at an unknown beast skull soaked in the broth, and really didn't know where to start.
"Master, this is the skull of the Kui Niu. I took a big supplement. Beigong seemed to be drooling.
"Shaped like an ox, one foot. There are no horns on the head, and it is pale gray. There must be wind and rain in and out of the water, and it can make a thunderous sound, accompanied by the light of the sun and the moon, and it is known as the god of thunder. Wu Chen was taken aback.
"Uh-huh, that's this Kui Niu!" Beigong Yu had been swallowing his saliva non-stop.
"I'll go...... "Could it be that the ancestors usually ate these?" According to the theory of what to eat and what to make up, the ancestors who ate ancient divine beasts all day long should be like divine help!
Wait, when I jumped the volcano before, the ghosts said that all the people who came here were ghosts. However, Wu Chen didn't think that the diners in the cave room in front of him, as well as the owner of the counter, and the proprietress of the back kitchen were ghosts? Why do ghosts say that all the people here are ghosts?
Cutting off a piece of lean meat with a eating knife, Wu Chen threw it into his mouth with force.
The taste is surprisingly good. The delicacy goes straight to the brain, and it activates the disc. Although there was no energy talisman that could form a Kui Niu, it also made Wu Chen gain a lot. "Delicious!"
Wu Chen couldn't help but give a thumbs up. The food knife flew and ate the boss's piece of beef.
"Can guests still eat?" Seeing that Wu Chen had even drunk the broth, the boss walked over with a smile.
"I can eat it." Wu Chen patted his belly.
"Then ...... Another pot? ”
"Then another pot!"
The proprietress immediately brought out a large steaming basin from the back kitchen.
Wu Chen's wind swept away and ate cleanly.
"Can you still eat it?" The boss, who was standing next to him, asked with a smile.
"Yes." Wu Chen wiped his mouth with a smile.
"Again?" The boss asked with a smile.
"Come!" Wu Chen's arrogance is dry.
Wu Chen didn't know that he could eat so much. There is a clay pot with the basin, and there are more than a dozen pots to eat in a row!
Drain all the pot of broth cooked by the proprietress ! On the heavenly disk in his mind, a faint Kui Niu's energy talisman finally appeared. Similar to the calf, Kui Niu is also an ancient divine beast. Therefore, the energy charm is ranked on the heavenly disk.
When Gu Dong drank a pot of broth and opened the food bowl that was almost hanging on his face, Wu Chen suddenly found that all the people in the hotel were gathered in front of his stone table at some point, staring at him with a hokluster - the top of his head?
Wu Chen subconsciously touched his head, there was nothing.
"No?" The proprietress looked at her man with puzzled eyes.
"Hmm...... No. The boss nodded solemnly.
"Not really!" The hunter, who had been sleeping soundly on the table before, twisted his arm fiercely, and then grinned in pain. Obviously, he couldn't believe that everything that happened to Wu Chen was steamed.
"Boss, how much?" Wu Chen was ready to pay the bill.
"No money." The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't want money?" Wu Chen was stunned.
"Guest, if you are willing to stay in the small shop all the time, our husband and wife will provide everything for free." Middle-aged people prescribe conditions.
Abnormality is demonic.
I ate more than a dozen pots of Kui beef soup for free, and even Shikishen drooled about it, not only did he charge money, but he also had to serve food and drink for free? Whichever side the sun hits, it's impossible to get this treatment.
"Does the boss have a request for me?" Wu Chen gently pushed the food bowl aside.
"Guest, the small shop has nothing else to ask for."
"Everything for free?" Wu Chen asked again.
"It's all free." The boss smiled and nodded.
"There is no basis for words."
"Knotted rope as evidence."
"Uh...... Knotted rope? "By the way, seniors, haven't you already created oracle bones?
The boss quickly fetched a hemp rope. First he prayed on all sides, then danced a big god, then put a looper on his mouth, gently swallowed his saliva to moisten his throat, and said loudly: "We provide everything for free." With that, he pulled the looper into a dead knot. It felt like I was about to strangle what I had just said.
Then, the boss handed the other end of the hemp rope to Wu Chen.
Well, this looper doesn't seem to be more difficult than a tie knot. Wu Chen relied on his memory, and also made a looper, then put it to his mouth, and said loudly like the boss: "I only live in this store." ”
After speaking, Mali pulled it into a dead knot.
Not to mention, the moment the looper was strangled to death, Wu Chen's heart palpitated. A mysterious force seemed to be following the hemp rope, smashing the throats of the two of them. Anyone who violates his oath will definitely be strangled to death.
The boss took Aso back, carefully strangled him around his waist, and left with a smile.
"Have you figured out what's going on?" Wu Chen, who felt that he was a little careless, asked a few gods in the cave.
"I don't know." Murong Wei shook his head: "We don't know much about the ancestors. ”
"Understood." Being surrounded by a group of people staring at each other is not a thing. Wu Chen got up lazily and walked towards his fire cave. It wasn't until the gate made of the beast's bones closed again that the people who had lost their target dispersed in a hurry.
The bones of the beast made the door, the stone slab was the couch, and there was a fire pit in the middle of the house.
An unknown animal skin is tied to hemp rope, and a curtain is made of several caverns. Wu Chen lifted the curtain and went in, and looked at it in turn, there were various uses, and there was even an ancient smelting furnace. Peeling the skin and removing the bones, everything is complete, it is really a suite for hunters.
But there is no bathroom. Why, didn't the ancestors have to go to the toilet?
There is down in the quilt?
Is this the first duvet? Leaning on a bonfire, Wu Chen wrapped himself in a warm duvet and pretended to fall asleep.
After a long time, after making sure that no one was snooping outside the door, Wu Chen's heart moved, and he teleported himself into the cave.
"Master!" Several Shikigami hurriedly surrounded them.
"What's the catch?" Wu Chen hurriedly asked.
"Not yet." Murong Wei shook his head. The Shikigami also did not find the whereabouts of the ghost mother.
Beigong Yu continued: "This cliff city is so strange, and these ancestors in it smell different. ”
Wu Chen nodded: "I feel the same way." When you're a newcomer, don't panic. Stand your ground and talk about it. ”
"Hmm." Beigong Yun couldn't help but ask, "Master, what does Kui beef taste like?" ”
"Haven't you all tasted it?" Several people are connected to Wu Chen's Yuanshen, and they can also taste the taste that Wu Chen tastes. After all, to put it bluntly, taste is also an electrical signal to the brain.
"I mean, it's a real bite." Beigong opened his mouth.
Wu Chen subconsciously touched his lower abdomen: "Wait for ...... next time"
"Huh?" His subordinates seemed to feel something unusual.
"What's the matter, master?" Beigong Yu hurriedly asked.
"Husband?" Chu Qiushen followed up and asked.
"There seems to be something in my stomach......" Wu Chen immediately gathered his Yuan Shen and looked inwardly at his body.
Sure enough, a round ball of flesh was falling into his intestines! It still seems to be beating slightly!
"Kui beef balls?" Beigong Yu, whose mind was full of eating meat, couldn't help licking the corners of his mouth.
Wu Chen said with a solemn expression: "I think, I know where there is a ghost......" (To be continued.) )
