At dawn, I consulted with Special Police Officer Huang and explained that the local people had strange temperaments and did not want outsiders to set foot in the territory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Besides, those two reliefs are the supreme holy relics that they look at, and I am afraid that I may not be able to convince the patriarch to lend me the holy relics in a day and a half.

So I asked the Huang Special Police to send a signal for the helicopter to pick them up first, and then send a signal for the helicopter to pick them up after I borrowed the two reliefs from the tribesmen.

Although Special Police Officer Huang didn't quite understand what I said, he didn't argue, but said goodbye to me and Gao Lingkai as I said, and handed us a few packs of compressed biscuits and the equipment they needed with them.

And the rest of the way, Gao Lingkai and I have walked twice, so we walked fast.

By noon, we had reached the vicinity of the cave where the people had gathered.

But as we walked along the path to the bamboo building where the patriarch lived, we felt that something was not quite right again.

It was quiet everywhere, and there were no children playing, and no man or woman was seen weaving straw sandals in front of their huts and doing odd chores.

Gao Lingkai couldn't hold it back, casually pushed open the simple wooden door of a grass hut on the side of the road, glanced inside, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Gao Li, these people ...... Also sleeping! ”

I was taken aback, and immediately leaned over to watch, and I couldn't help but feel chills all over my body.

In broad daylight, a young couple and a child lay in the hut. The husband and wife were disheveled, as if they had been in love before going to bed.

"What to do? Colliers, what to do? Gao Lingkai asked, although the expression on his face was not frightened, but he was very depressed.

Of course he will be frustrated! The purpose of our coming here was originally to borrow those two reliefs from the people, because I thought those two reliefs could wake up Meng Xiang and the others.

But now these people are also sleeping, which means that not only can the two reliefs not meet our wishes, but on the contrary, the reason why the people here are sleeping is probably the two reliefs.

But why?

Obviously, the influence of those two reliefs is quite limited, and they are hidden deep in the deep cave, how can it affect so many people to sleep at the same time?

And after these people fall asleep, will they get up and kill people inexplicably?

My head was a mess of gruel, but I wouldn't give up, so I took a few steps forward and pushed open the wooden door of a straw hut to take a look.

Undoubtedly, the people here are also sleeping. It's just that in this grass hut are an elderly couple who are asleep.

I stood up straight, seeing that there was no human voice in the entire grass shed area, I could only grit my teeth and turn around to go to the cave.

"Colliers, what are you doing?" Gao Lingkai asked me as he walked with me.

"I'll ask the ancestors of the people what happened!"

Gao Lingkai didn't say anything more, just followed me closely.

Soon, we arrived at the foot of the stone peak where the Divine Cave was located, and I removed the latch wood from the wooden board blocking the entrance of the Divine Cave, and then worked with Gao Lingkai to remove the wooden plank.

"Otherwise, you will guard the entrance of the cave, and I will go in and have a look alone!" I told Gao Lingkai.

"Let's go in together! The whole village was sleeping, and I thought the scariest thing was in the cave. ”

I also thought the cave would be more terrifying, so I nodded and led the way to the hole.

"Old man, are you here? I'm Colliers, and I've met you a few times! I screamed softly as I looked into the hole.

It's a pity that the white-bearded and white-haired ancestral spirit didn't appear. I saw that the two permanent lights in the cave were still on, so I dared to go straight in.

Above the first lantern, there was still a portrait of the white-haired old man. But further inside, I couldn't help but let out an "ah".

On the inside of the lantern near the cave, there was a depression, which originally enshrined a very strange skull and a combination of the two reliefs.

But now, only the skull is left in the depression, and the combination of the two reliefs is gone.

"Colliers, what are the bones of this thing? How can it be so scary? Gao Lingkai asked, and couldn't help but reach out and grab my arm.

When he entered the Divine Cave twice before, he only cared about taking care of Jiang Xin, and he had never entered the cave, and naturally he had never seen this skull.

"I don't know!"

I shook my head, wondering where the hell those two reliefs had gone. And if those two reliefs are no longer here, why are the people falling asleep?

Just as I was thinking about it, the sound of gurgling and cheering from behind me made Gao Lingkai and I hurriedly turn around.

Because we were in the cave, it was impossible for people outside to see the appearance of me and Gao Lingkai, but when I looked out, I couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

Shockingly, close to the door of the cave, there was a strong man who raised his arm sideways, holding a simple bamboo bow in his hand, and a bamboo arrow on the bow, aimed squarely at me and Gao Lingkai.

He kept scolding, and I guess he was scolding us for not trespassing into the cave.

Happily, there are a few other tribesmen standing outside the cave, but looking out of the cave, the angle of view is relatively narrow, and I can't see if there are people I am familiar with outside.

I was afraid that Gao Lingkai's movements would be too big and the strong man would shoot arrows into the hole, so I hurriedly grabbed him with one hand, and shouted loudly in my mouth: "Is the patriarch and Biroba outside?" I'm Colliers! ”

"Colliers?" Someone was surprised, and soon a sturdy figure walked to the entrance of the cave, "Who else is there?" ”

Naturally, he asked again in Chinese, because he blocked the entrance of the cave and had the light on his back, I couldn't see his appearance clearly, but I heard that his voice vaguely looked like a patriarch, so I hurriedly replied: "He is Gao Lingkai, Gao Lingkai who will regain the holy relics with us!" ”

The patriarch seemed to relax slightly, but he did not let the strong man put away his bow and arrows aimed at us.

"Why did you go into the cave as soon as you came, did you want to steal the holy relics?" He asked, in a very gloomy tone.

"No, no, don't get me wrong!" I hurriedly explained, "Honestly, we are here today because there is a whole village of people in our place who are asleep, and we really don't know what is going on, so we have come to you to ask the goddess how we can wake those people up." As a result, as soon as we walked to you, we found that your people were actually sleeping, and in a panic, we rushed into the cave to see if we could invite the ancestor to show up and ask what happened to the ancestor! ”

Of course, I am not telling the truth. Originally, I wanted to borrow those two reliefs from the patriarch, but the patriarch already suspected that we entered the cave to steal the holy relics, and if I want to tell the truth, it will be tantamount to confirming our crime.

So I have to be half true and half false, and with the devotion of these people to the gods and ancestors, maybe they can believe me.
