Chapter 299: The Witch Descendant

I have very little knowledge about this ancient country, Qin Yi is a "jack of all trades", but he is no longer there. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Novel

Xiong Junming and Xu Gaochang reached an agreement for their own purposes.

I'm kind of a person who knows half the story. There is also the other half, for example, the bankruptcy of the Wang Group is just a pretense, but what is the real reason?

There are no more than two kinds, one is to continue Li Ruiyuan's unfinished work, and the other is to increase the number of personnel in an additional organization.

A consortium that has been running for more than a thousand years and has gone through the vicissitudes of history wants to shake it, and it is really a fool's dream. I'm not mature as a warlock, but the Wang Group is deeply rooted.

The kingdom that can use gold as a scabbard, the incomparable power of the ancient Dian Kingdom has made all the powerful dynasties that have existed in the Celestial Empire lose their color.

I stood at the bow of the boat and saw a long jet of water spewing out not far away.

"That's a whale." Xu Gaochang explained on the side, the light in his eyes was a little greedy, "You know? Whales are full of treasures. ”

"We're here to look for the ancient Dian Kingdom, not for whales." Xiong Junming patted Xu Gaochang on the shoulder.

"Maybe we can collect some." Xu Gaochang said. "Idle is idle anyway."

At this moment someone shouted: "Look! There is an island! ”

I looked west and saw a small island that was lush and green. I don't know exactly how big the island is, but it looks like Southeast Asia.

Could it be that there are boat-shaped houses on the island, and Wang Xicheng is trapped here?

The strangest thing is how we got from Xianfu Lake to the sea.

An hour later, we set foot on the island.

It didn't take long for us to set foot on the island, and it wasn't until this moment that I calmed down, and it was safest to put my feet on the ground, and I was attracted by a pile of rocks on the shore and walked over.

On the slope of a pile of stones, an arc-shaped object was exposed.

What is it?

"Is this a drum?" Xiong Junming took the hammer and tapped it gently, "It's a bronze drum." He said in surprise.

I looked at it again, and all I saw was the edge of an arc, and if it was a drum, it must be huge. At least 10 people can stand on the drum surface. Only now, all buried under the stones. It has been glued to the stone.

"Yichen, it is possible that we can really find the treasure of the ancient Dian Kingdom, you know? In almost all the sacrifices of the ancient Dian Kingdom, the drum was used. Xiong Junming looked a little excited.

Just a big brass drum that doesn't prove anything at all. At most, it can only be proved that there were subjects of the ancient Dian kingdom who had visited this island.

"Captain, I'll send a few men into the woods to check it out, and then we'll camp here. There aren't many stocks, let's see what seafood is available. Xu Gaochang said to Xiong Junming.

Xiong Junming approved, and the relationship between the two became much more harmonious. Probably because of the agreement.

There is a forest on this island, and I don't know what else is in the woods.

Xu Gaochang asked four or five crew members to explore the woods, and the rest of the crew returned to the ship and removed the dinghy on one side. At the same time, he took a long metal hook with serrated teeth and a rope long enough to sail out into the sea.

He won't let those whales go, he'll go hunting.

I couldn't help but exhale, I have already seen some of the greed of human nature, according to Xu Gaochang said, there are everyone in this team. That's what I should be careful about.

The Magicians and Shadow Magicians must know who I am. And we are mortal enemies.

However, my cultivation is not only my own, but also the ghost power of Himiko. If you want to harm me, you have to have a thousand years of Taoism. As long as it's hidden in the team, it's already quite difficult for me to find out.

In front of you is the endless sea, and above you is also an endless sky. It is said that nature can wash people's distractions, and I have to sigh at the greatness of nature.

Whatever we do now, we are walking on the edge of sanity.

Trust gives way to suspicion, and superstition is extinguished.

The sailors pitched their tents, and Xiong Junming and I sat on the shore, looking at the black spots in the sea.

"Are you going to let them kill the whales without hindrance?" I asked.

"Look, you see, they've set up their tents. We need them for a long time, because we don't know what dangers lie ahead. These people have a lot of practical experience in seafaring, and they must have seen more than you and me. What we need to pay attention to is our own safety. "As for what they want to do, that's their decision." Leave them alone. ”

I grinned at the corners of my mouth.

Preaching to sailors who have been through storms for a long time is not good for playing the harp to the ox, but killing them like this is not good for their lives.

The most famous sailors in history often ended up worse than the average person. Few people can still excitedly think about the many "feats" in the water before they die.

Some retribution will come later. I don't know if Hades doesn't care about this.

I looked coldly at the sea, and looked at the excitement on the blood-splattered faces of the sailors. frowned.

The treatment of a calf lasted until midnight, except for the pungent fishy smell. There was also a bucket that was placed on the shore.

Inside is bright whale oil.

"It's not big, it's just forty or fifty barrels of oil." Xu Gaochang said with a smile to Xiong Junming.

I watched the sailors clear the deck. I couldn't help but furrow, I was really in no mood compared to their happiness, "I'm going to sleep." ”

The sailors who had gone to explore the woods returned to shore and reported their discoveries to Kuma.

"There is a village in the woods, which seems to be very large, but it is dark, and there is no chance to go deeper into it." The sailor said.

Xiong Junming stood up from the ground suddenly, "How big." ”

"It's big, anyway."

"Is it a house with wide upper eaves and narrow lower eaves?" I asked anxiously.

If sailboats are the means to get here. Then it is very likely that Wang Xicheng is hiding in a corner of the village.

"yes, how do you know?" The sailor replied.

I exhaled a breath and if I could go and see it right away, I might find out.

"Yichen! This is the Dian people! You know? No one can say clearly, the whereabouts of the ancient Dian people, and the various ethnic minorities in Nanyun, there are no traces left by the Dian people. Proof that they migrated here! So nothing was left in history! Xiong Junming said excitedly, "There must be a treasure!" There must be! ”

What he meant was that the ancient Dian people did not know for some special reason that they migrated here from the shores of Xianfu Lake in Nanyun. An ancient Dian civilization was rebuilt on the island.

So that sailboat is a means of transport?

"Stop right now and look for something strange on the boat!" Xu Gaochang reacted quickly and said to the sailors.

He was most excited about the current situation. He once said that he was looking for something for his clan, could it be that he is a descendant of the Dian people?

The sailors who had just killed the whale looked tired but in good spirits. Because they all heard the treasure from the captain's mouth clearly.

This stimulus works better than any good medicine and food.

The ancient Dian people were 2,000 years ago, and there would never have been such a Western-style sailing ship in the Mediterranean style. Where did this thing come from? How did it float into Xianfu Lake? And how to enter the sea?

It's all because when the boat was sailing, the canvas was not opened, and my attention was all on Xu Gaochang, who was cutting the sail rope.

As for how to get into the sea, there is no attention at all. It should be said that all eyes were attracted and did not pay attention.

It's all to blame for the scourge that left me alone in the world, and if he were there, he would definitely be able to help me analyze it.

After a search, the sailors found nothing. It seems that everything will have to wait until tomorrow morning to find the ancient village.

Nothing happened overnight.

Faintly I heard people shouting and didn't know what was happening outside the tent.

When I first stood up, I found a small green snake, broken in two by my pillow, and looked along the light, only to see a neat sword mark on the tent, and the lower half of the snake's body was outside the tent.

This is the little poisonous snake that wants to attack me in my sleep. But it was no match for the mighty Himiko.

She is attached to me and does not need to rest at all. Of course, she didn't want any damage to my body. Her abilities aren't afraid of Cold Lightsaber damage.

I stepped out of the tent and a sailor nervously walked in front of me and glanced at me.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"The ship is gone!" The sailor replied. I was shocked, and when I looked out to sea, there was no sign of the sailboat in front of me.

Seeing that Xiong Junming was asking a sailor, he hurriedly walked over.

"I swear, I don't know what's going on, I was watching the sailboat last night, and when it was almost dawn I heard the beating of the drums, and I didn't know anything. By the time I came to my senses, the sailboat was gone. The sailor said.

Xiong Junming furrowed his eyebrows, pondering in his heart the credibility of the whole thing.

"Captain, my men won't lie, there must be something strange on this island, you think, when we got on board, the anchor didn't fall into the water and moved on its own." Xu Gaochang said. "Maybe"

"You mean, the ship went back on its own?" Xiong Junming asked, "How is this possible?" ”

This sailboat has always been weird, and it is not surprising that there is such a thing, perhaps, it can only shuttle back and forth between two dimensions.

"Looks like we're going to have to stay on the island. Wait for the next group to come. Xu Gaochang said.

"Could it be that the warlock who was trapped on the island in front of him saw the ship coming back and drove the boat back?" Xiong Junming said.

"That won't see us, will you?" Xiong Junming glanced at me, "There are so many of us!" ”

"You can see the ship with the spirit stone, but it may not be the same ship." I said, "We have food on board, but we don't have it. It proves that we are on the boat that someone else is well prepared. ”

"It's good, even if we find the treasure, we can't bring it back, and someone else will bring back the whale oil we collected." Xu Gaochang said.

"Even if the warlocks get on our ship and see the whale oil in the cabin, they will mistake it for a whaling ship." Xiong Junming said.

It's not the worst, a lot of food reserves are in the cabin. Even if some of our people carry it, there are definitely not many of them.

If there is no food on this island. A catastrophe will befall us at once.

It is estimated that the Yin Gathering Warlock in this team does not have to worry at all, he can still eat people.

"First mate, I suggest you go and dispel the doubts of the sailors," Xiong Junming said to Xu Gaochang, "We are going inland now, not panicking." ”

Xu Gaochang stretched out his fingers and flattened his mouth, "What you said is reasonable, I'll go now." ”

"Let's clean up and hope for food on this island."

I nodded, "At least there are snakes." ”

Maybe you'll find some rats to eat.

The scenery of Southeast Asia is stunning, but on this island, the dense mangrove forests are driving people crazy. I didn't see a single coconut tree.

Behind a gravel road, a wooden plank road on the road is faintly visible. However, there have been some traces left in fragments, and if it were not for one or two pieces of wood, they would not have been found at all.

On the trunk of a nearby tree I saw a colored snail with a red body and a colorful shell. Some of the plants are bent like a giant python, strangled with each other.

There are clusters of small red flowers.

Xiong Junming, who was walking in front of me, pointed to the top of his head, and when I looked up, I saw a dilapidated tree house looming above the high branches.

There was the chirping of swallows in the air, but I couldn't see where the nest was when I looked up. There was a strong smell of ammonia in the air, which was the smell of bird's droppings.

The boardwalk is very wet. From time to time, bird droppings fall.

It's really annoying.

Saw several unknown monkeys along the way. They are fast, and they are gone.

By the time I crossed the woods, my neck was already wet with water droplets, and my clothes were already sticking to my body, which was very uncomfortable. Hopefully it's better not to rain.

Xiong Junming in front of him stopped suddenly. I looked in front of him and saw a wooden fortress-like building. It looks like a tallened turret.

"This is to prevent looting, so the houses are built high." Xiong Junming said.

Living so high, the lethality of condescending archery must be good.

The terrain rose higher and higher, and the trees began to fall apart. Finally there was no thickness of the woods, revealing a dirt slope.

It was getting close to dusk, and I didn't know where the sailor was talking about the ancient village.

Walking up the dirt slope, the spirit is lifted!

Beneath our feet is a flat, rich land and city nestled in the woods!

"Oh my God!" Xiong Junming and I were stunned.

Xu Gaochang roared, "Zhou Guangren! The sailor who had explored the way ahead of time ran over, "First mate." ”

Xu Gaochang pinched his neck violently, "This is your village?" See, this is a city! ”

He didn't say it too much. It's a city. I could faintly see the boat-shaped houses and the grand royal palace buildings.

"Have you ever been to the village?" Xiong Junming asked.

The sailor shook his head, "I found it here yesterday." ”

"Let's go down and have a look." I can't wait to check it out.

If it's such a big city, there should be people living here. Maybe it's the local native.

When the sailors saw the city, they forgot for a moment the troubles of food storage. Whistling down the hillside.

I'm preoccupied. It's not easy at all.

What if there is no trace of Wang Xicheng here? Or, what if the natives who live here will catch us?

Immediately I had an image of an indigenous person wrapped in a cloth with his head wrapped in a shirt, shirtless in a strange black dress, and holding a straw-style wooden bar in his hand.

With a vigorous squirt in his mouth, the poisoned arrow in the middle of the wood knocked down one of our sailors.

Thinking of this, I shook my head, this is the result of the poisoning of film and television works.

However, the ancient Dian Kingdom also had the habit of sacrificing people, and even if they didn't kill us, it was possible to charm us with strange gases and then give them to the gods.

When you walk into the ancient city, you will find that what you see is a bazaar.

The wooden pieces are flanked by broken boathouses. It's the same thing I experienced in my hallucinations. It's just relatively small, far less tall than the houses behind the bazaar.

Actually, I ignored a problem, the country also has a boat-shaped house. It's just that its civil structure has changed.

"Go to the palace." Xu Gaochang said to Xiong Junming.

Their attention is always on the treasure. But if I were Wang Xicheng and hid in the ancient city, I would definitely choose the palace to live in. At least it will be stronger than other houses.

After more than 2,000 years, it is a miracle that these timbers have been preserved.

But it also shows that no one has ever set foot in this city.

There was no sign of any man or animal in the city. It's already deserted.

Our group walked towards the palace in the distance, and on the long, flat dirt road, we came to the palace gate, and pushed open the heavy gate.

Ten meters away from the eyes, there was still a wooden door!

The wooden door is strangely carved with boats with feet heading towards the sun.

Xiong Junming walked in front of Xu Gaochang and glanced back at me. I shook my head and gestured that nothing unusual had been found.

He pushed open the second door and we were stunned by the view!

On both sides of the front of the huge ship-shaped king's palace, there are huge bronze stone pillars, and on top of the stone pillars, huge bronze bulls are cast.

In front of the palace stood a small pavilion with a neat array of various copper drums.

I took two steps forward and stood in the square. Four intricately carved bronze pillars stand at the four corners of the square, all coiled around them with giant pythons, which look lifelike.

The sides of the square are much more chaotic, but bronze drums can be seen everywhere. Big and small, all over the corner.

All objects are placed symmetrically.

There are also bronze carvings of leopards that don't look like leopards and dogs that don't look like dogs.

"This is the Sacrificial Square! Behind it is the royal palace! Xiong Junming looked at the square and said excitedly.

I recognized the canine carvings, and in the hallucination, I had seen them in the room where Wang Xicheng was hiding. The only difference is the arm.

It's not a human arm here, it's an animal.

Why not one?

I decided to go to the palace and have a look. Maybe there are more discoveries.

I walked towards the palace, crossed a small pavilion full of various copper drums, and pushed open the gates of the palace.

I couldn't help but gasp. The furnishings in front of me were no different from what I had seen that day.

At the same time, I felt a chill behind me, and the pungent smell of blood entered my nostrils. I hurriedly turned around. He slapped a spell behind him, but he didn't catch anything.

With a pop, a spell struck a copper drum from the pavilion and rolled down with a grunt.

On the right side of the palace gate, a stream of blood flowed down the door panel.

I slowly looked up, a drop of blood dripping on my forehead, and above my head was a humanoid, blood-stained body with cold eyes.

I rub.

As I raised my hand to seal the seal, the red ball of blood pounced down. I kicked it out with a side kick.

With a terrible scream, the blood-colored corpse illuminated by the sun. Smoke billowed from his body, and his body began to burn into char with a tearing cry.

The sailors rushed up, not knowing what I had done.

"It's not clean here," I said.

Xiong Junming walked over and looked at the charred black corpse on the ground. "What is this?"

I can't tell, it's a bloody corpse, but it's not like it. It is said that it is a ghost and has a specific physical body. As for the Sorcerers, it's even more impossible.

"You know what? The Dian people are not native. Xu Gaochang said. The real Dian people regard the copper drum as an artifact to worship the gods. But now," he said, standing up and at Xiong and Xiong.

In his hand, he holds a handful of ring-shaped shells. "This is the second batch of Dian people."

I couldn't help but frown.

"In the past, many people thought that the ancient Dian people were the Yue people at that time, and that they were the first Dian people. But these people who left the shells were the second group of Dian people, the Di people of the nomadic people. ”

"I'll tell you what's going on." Xu Gaochang walked to the front of the hall and said, "After Chu replaced the Dian Kingdom of the Yue people at that time, he missed his original hometown very much, and the Di people of the northern nomads also migrated to the southwest in order to escape the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty. In the spirit of sympathy, he took in this group of nomads.

Zhuang Ji still couldn't let go of his desire to regain the lost territory of Chu State. So he took a fancy to the strength of the Di people, hoped that the three nomadic knights of the Di people would train their pawns for themselves, and threatened to recover the Central Plains occupied by the Qin State!

However, the Fugitive Zhongdi people were not interested in the proposal to regain the lost land at all, and for them who had been nomadic for a long time, they felt that this land was the most suitable paradise to stay. There is no need to worry about food shortages and extermination.

So they staged a coup d'Γ©tat and drove Zhuang Ji and some of his main forces out of the Dian Kingdom. While hating these white-eyed wolves so much, Zhuang Ji began to make a comeback, in a vain attempt to drive the nomads out of his territory. However, after a great war, the combat effectiveness of the Dian people could not compete with the nomadic Di people, and Zhuang Ji also died in the chaos.

Seeing that there was no hope of recovery, Zhuang Ji's wife connected with the witch and made a ritual to invite the gods, summoning the gods. Finally fight the Three Horsemen! Xu Gaochang said here, looking at the charred corpse on the ground, "This thing is the minion next to Shishen who was summoned at that time." It's just that the elusiveness and cannibalism of flesh and blood are enough to make people anxious. ”

"And then?" Xiong Junming asked.

"Later, the Di people began to be the rulers of the Dian Kingdom, relying on the strength of the national blood, expanding towards the surrounding borders, and began to rise rapidly with Xianfu Lake as the center, launching conquests, extending as far as today's Nanzhong Peninsula, as for the witch of the Dian Kingdom and Zhuang Ji's wife are nowhere to be found."

I couldn't help but be surprised, why did such a vast kingdom suddenly disappear?

"You're a descendant of witches, aren't you?" I asked Xu Gaochang.
