The mouse that was leashed by the fat man refused to go anymore when it arrived here, it kept turning around in place and "squeaking", according to the general habits of animals, the fat man judged that the goods should be calling for help. Looking at the bones piled up on the ground, there are all kinds of forms, and the stench mixed with stuffiness makes people feel uneasy.

"Is that rat really bigger than a cow?" The fat man held the dagger back, although he did not doubt Cha Wenbin's description of him, but it was difficult to accept that there was really such a big mouse in this world, looking at Cha Wenbin's vigilant and pale face, the fat man couldn't help but put his body down and kept scanning everything around.

Cha Wenbin suddenly asked: "Do you know that there is a kind of sky burial in Tibet?" ”

"Yes, I heard that people were chopped up and fed to vultures," said the fat man, pointing to the bones on the ground, "Do you mean that someone here deliberately dragged the corpse in to feed the mice?" ”

"It's not impossible, look at this bone," Cha Wenbin pulled out a bone exposed from the ground from under his feet, from the position, this should be a leg bone, and the fracture in the middle looks like it was broken by an external force. Cha Wenbin pointed to some other bones and said: "If you look at these bones carefully, they are all very old, and they have begun to calcify, if they were really dragged in by those mice, why are there no fresh corpses recently?" And the further we go inside, the more obvious this manifestation becomes. ”

"You mean this was once a place of worship?" The fat man keenly discovered an important piece of information, and he said: "If it is really used for sacrifice, then it means that someone has come in before, which means that we can find a way out." ”

"Clever." Cha Wenbin said: "Also, if you look closely at the top of my head, I seem to see some petroglyphs on it. ”

The fat man swept it with a flashlight, and sure enough, there were some lines carved on the rocks overhead, these paintings were very simple in terms of content, and the crude lines depicted some vaguely recognizable pictures. The fat man's flashlight slowly swept over the imprints of the times, and one of the paintings depicted several men slashing at another lying person with sharp weapons in their hands, while another painting not far away showed a man holding a stump similar to an arm and thigh above his head, and the object of his prostrations was actually a mouse sitting on a chair!

"It's a fucking heavy," said the fat man, "maybe you really told me about it, I said it couldn't be a rat buried here, right?" ”

"Hehe," At this time, the familiar and terrifying laughter sounded out from behind unexpectedly, and a person unconsciously walked out of the darkness, looking at the person who was still wet with that look, who was not Ye Huan? Unexpectedly, he also came down, which made Cha Wenbin quite surprised.

"You guessed it right, the one who once made them worship like a god was probably a big mouse." He said to himself a little bit: "I have long heard that the ancestor of the Feng clan is not a human at all, and today it seems that it may be eighty percent true." ”

"What the hell," said the fat man, "Could it be that the little white face is also a mouse?" ”

"You don't understand this, don't we Han people claim to be the descendants of the dragon? This does not mean that you are the descendant of the dragon, this kind of symbol of the totemic spirit, some people's totem ancestors are snakes, some are birds, and some are leopards and tigers, I didn't expect them to take mice as gods, which is really interesting. ”

"What are you here for?"

"Come and see you." Ye Huan shrugged and said: "No matter what, we are also grasshoppers on a rope, instead of being trapped on it, I should come down and take a look, anyway, there are a few of you in front of you." Check the boy, do you see the name here? ”

Cha Wenbin thought to himself, I really don't have the same road as you, it's better to be close to me, looking at the mysterious look on his face that wants to talk and stop, Cha Wenbin said to him: "The younger generations are clumsy, and you can see a nest of potatoes in the field, this kind of place was the best for old-timers like you at that time." ”

"Your eyesight is pretty good," Ye Huan didn't know if he was quite satisfied with his compliment, and said: "According to the usual rules, people need to do one thing before they are buried after death, I have never understood the intention of that pool, but now I have also figured it out." The diagram represents the reincarnation of the yin and yang world, which means that everything here is a complete set of imitations, jumping into that pool means washing away the dust on the body, and only clean people are equipped with soil, just like the kind of useless things you often help people do. ”

"You have a clean mouth," said the fat man, "and bathing after death is a sign of respect for the dead, and people like you are covered with maggots when they die." ”

"You can't wash it off," Ye Huan patted his chest and said, "This is the key, I guess there are probably two results of throwing it in from that pool, one is to be used as a sacrifice, washed and dedicated to the gods here, that is, the group of rats." The other means to enter the next process, to be in the ground," he said, pointing to the bones on the ground, "These people may want this result, their flesh and skin are dedicated to their main god, and their souls are continued with those four-legged things." Do you know why the ancients worshipped mice? Because of their strong reproductive capacity, in that era, the population represented a stronger labor force and force, and in nature, the rat was undoubtedly the strongest in its ability to reproduce. ”

He gently lowered his body and stroked the mouse that the fat man was tethering, and the mouse actually sniffed at his palm and climbed up, as if trusting him. The fat man couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea, this person was really an alternative, and he really smelled like a mouse.

"You are still young, how can you treat it like this," he touched the mouse's head as if he were talking to his own son, and the expression on his face made one wonder if he was a pervert. "Little mouse, tell me, where is your master? Your soul will direct your heart to be with me. His fingers kept circling around the mouse, and his mouth kept repeating similar words, and the fat man asked quietly, "Cha Ye, what kind of trick is he playing?" ”

"It seems to be hypnosis," Cha Wenbin was not sure, "but can it be useful for mouse hypnosis?" ”

"Useful," said Lian'er, "all things are spiritual, all life is equal, and you see how docile that mouse has become now." ”

When Ye Huan untied the strip of cloth tied to it and gently put it on the ground and snapped his fingers, the mouse immediately turned around and nodded at him, as if he understood it, and then began to move after leaning on the ground twice.

Ye Huan said in a low voice: "Keep up, children, it won't let you down!" ”

"What did you do to it?" The fat man asked curiously, "Can it really be hypnotized?" ”

"An ancient spell, the Soul Pact!" Cha Wenbin finally remembered that this kind of magic originated from the earliest shamanism, and it is a kind of witchcraft that establishes contact and communication between humans and animals. This witchcraft was invented when people domesticated wild beasts into domestic animals, and it was first used to domesticate and tame beasts.

Later, such as the Izuma Immortal, which is still popular in the Northeast now, is a variant of the soul contract, which is far less powerful than the real soul contract. The ancient Jiuli tribe could call on all beasts to fight for it, and under the leadership of its leader, Chi You, a powerful force of men and beasts, once swept across the Yellow River Valley.

But according to legend, this spell has long been lost. I didn't expect to be able to see it in Ye Huan today, this person has really reached the realm where he can understand ghosts and gods? He couldn't help but start to be stunned, Ye Huan had surpassed his understanding of the Heavenly Righteous Dao, and Rao is such kung fu was definitely not something he could learn.

"This mouse seems to be following a certain pattern with us," Cha Wenbin said to the fat man: "Be sure to pay attention to the steps under your feet, don't mess up, these bones are buried with care." ”

"You're really good, kid." Ye Huan said: "Don't think that it is calm now, in fact, this place is not much better than the Infernal Hell, countless Yin Spirits are sleeping here, don't think that the mud bodhisattvas hanging outside are the main masters." It's just that yin and yang are reversed, and they are all sunk in their own reincarnation world, and if you go wrong, you may encounter them. Little fat man, take care of yourself, but don't trouble us. ”

Cha Wenbin looked at the path of the mouse, and couldn't help but say: "Two or four is the shoulder, six or eight is the foot, three on the left and seven on the right, nine shoes on the one, and five in the center; Yang becomes 9 out of 7, Yin becomes 6 out of 8, and it also coincides with 15 ...... If you go on like this, won't you ......?"

"You just follow along," Ye Huan interrupted him, "It's going backwards, it's not the kind of Nine Palace Gossip you learned." Let me ask you, in a week, you will still be in the center, and you will start again. Is this kind of practice the "Yu step" that the old man Ma taught you to practice, and it is said that at a certain time, the walker itself will be "invisible"? ”

"That's what I said," Cha Wenbin said, "but I'm not sure what will happen if you walk backwards." ”
