Chapter 157: More Secrets
Cha Wenbin was also helpless, after being woken up by the mountain wind, he found that he was tied, and he could judge from this formation that he was basically selected to be a priest or something. Not to mention where these deep mountain savages evolved, but all ancient clans will do it in a similar way, and he who is proficient in history naturally understands the truth.
was carried for many miles, and the sky gradually became dark from dim, and I don't know how long it took, Cha Wenbin was woken up by freezing several times, and the team finally stopped.
The three of them were put side by side, not far from them were three piles of clothes, as well as their respective luggage, this meeting, I don't know if the next thing will be a knife on the neck. Then another round of priestly activity began, with a bone-like stick in his hand, and the ox's skull was put back on, and the great black jar was brought out again, and it was placed in the middle of the three men, around which the savages danced incessantly, and the torches illuminated the surroundings transparently.
After about half an hour of dancing and chanting, the white-haired savage seemed to have a trick and got a big grouse out of nowhere. The stone knife cut the throat of the grouse, and the guy began to sprinkle blood on the three of them with the rooster, and the warm and smelly blood splashed out, and the fat man had no strength to scold, so he could only spit out the blood that flowed into his mouth from time to time.
The fat man said in a hoarse voice: "Cha Ye, let's say goodbye here, you give me more time on the Huangquan Road, I'm afraid of the dark." ”
"There's a lot of nonsense, Ye Qiu is trying to figure out a way." Cha Wenbin was not comforting him, but he saw that Ye Qiu's arm had been rubbing there, vines are vines after all, it can be stronger than ropes, but it will not be as obedient as ropes after all. The gap between the vines and the flesh is Ye Qiu's hope, that is, relying on that little by little grinding, along the way, Ye Qiu's skin has been torn off a layer, and a man who can't even handcuff himself will really be bound by this vine? He was waiting, waiting for Cha Wenbin's final instructions.
The Cold Moon Knife is close at hand, do you want to kill? I don't know, he didn't want to kill, and from the first glimmer of kindness in his mind, he began to get tired of that ruthlessness. Yes, he almost paid the price of his life because of this kind thought, and if these savages did not come to hurt his own life, he would not be willing to take up the butcher's knife after all.
Later, Cha Wenbin said that he was born a Taoist, and Ye Qiu, he belongs to the Buddha more, he has a Buddha heart, this thing is innate, and no one can change it.
The grouse that had not yet died fluttered in the snow, and the snow-white earth was stained with spots. The three people who didn't know their fate were still waiting, but until now the stone knife had not been raised to their throats.
Time passed minute by minute, and when the grouse had completely stopped moving, and the white-haired savage had retreated, he was like a devout believer, kneeling in the sky and praying to the sky. Perhaps he was telling his god that the gifts for you were ready, and that all the savages had their heads down, and the stars in the night sky were telling them that if they didn't do something, they would gradually lose their lives due to hypothermia.
Cha Wenbin drank and asked in a trembling voice: "Qiu'er, I'm a little cold and I'm about to die, can you move?" ”
Nodding slightly, his right hand began to slowly pull out from behind him, gently shaking the vines on his body, as long as it reached the right width, he would emerge like a slippery loach.
In the blink of an eye, this is a signal, and Cha Wenbin also blinked as a confirmation. At this moment, the group of wild men began to retreat, they lowered their heads and did not even dare to look ahead, they bent down and kept retreating, retreating about a hundred meters before turning around.
"Gone, gone? Leave us here and leave like that? ”
Ye Qiu next door had already sat up, his eyes narrowed, as long as he wanted, none of the savages who had not disappeared from his sight would survive.
Cha Wenbin reminded: "Untie it for me first." "And I still have me, the damn dick, are you already out of trouble, Lao Tzu is so cold that his hands and feet are almost unconscious."
It feels good to put on clothes again, but after being exposed to the snow for too long, these people are afraid that they all have some frostbite, and they can't be reversed by this for a while. So, with stiff steps, the fat man began to look for anything that could be lit, and a heap of eggs and firewood was piled up, and the warm light of the fire burned so loudly that the wild men seemed to disappear when they had left them here.
"When it's warmer, I'll follow the footprints and find them back, and I can't swallow this breath if I don't serve them in a pot. Besides, the body of the Great Elder is still with them, do you think you will eat it? ”
Cha Wenbin wiped the blood on his face with snow dumplings, and he said: "It's a bit of a heavenly burial, have you ever wondered why you stripped us naked and put it here?" ”
"Attract something to eat us," Ye Qiu said, "This blood is used to lure." ”
"That's right," Cha Wenbin said, "so they don't dare to stay, I think this thing must be very restrained by these wild people, even natural enemies." ”
The people who roasted the fire finally had some warmth, and after checking it, everything was basically there, and it seemed that these savages didn't intend to take advantage of it. But what puzzled Cha Wenbin the most was why the attitudes of these wild people were so different, and it was just that they looked at a mural.
"Do you remember that mural? There are three people in the painting, one of them holding a glowing stick, and it happened to be because of the flashlight that we were caught in the wild man, and I think they probably thought that we were the people in the mural, and the corresponding person should be a person lying flat in the mountain. ”
"Speaking of which, I really thought of it," the fat man said, pointing to the jar in front of him, "That's it, there was another me in it when I looked at it, I'll try it again." ”
He lay on the jar, which still contained the mixed liquid, but this time, he couldn't see anything except the black one, and after picking up the firewood, he finally had a little reflection, no matter how he looked at it, it was all himself.
"It's weird, I'm not lying." The fat man leaned down to inspect the jar and said, "Damn, it's still a black pottery, this thing has been around for some years." Look at the pattern on this, it is very simple and rough, quite in line with the style of the primitive tribe, this thing is really a good thing! ”
The black clay pot outlines a circle of dots and lines, which seems to be very irregular, with a half-moon carved on the left and a circle on the right, which must be the meaning of the sun and the moon. As the fat man said, the clay pot is indeed some years old, but it is very well preserved, and it is gently tapped with his hand, and there is a sound.
"It's a pity, this thing is said to have research value, if you really want to sell it for a few hundred yuan, forget it, this thing looks unlucky, let's throw it down the mountain."
"Wait," Cha Wenbin also squatted on the ground, he felt that the lines on the clay pot were somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere, the same mess, and the same simple dots and lines.
"Astrological charts!" He suddenly remembered that indeed, he had seen such a constellation chart before!
Standing up, he said to the fat man and Ye Qiu: "I have a proposal now, just lie down and see who those wild men want to sacrifice us to?" ”
"Isn't it too risky," said the fat man, "I finally escaped, and my opinion is that it is better to kill them back to their lair." ”
"What is after the adventure? Yes, I want to know the reason why they went to great lengths, anyway, it's night now, and it's the same wherever they sleep, so they light the fire, and if it's a beast, they don't dare to come closer. ”
The time on the watch showed that it was 8:15, and it had been almost a whole day since the cave they had fallen into yesterday. Lying flat on the ground, listening to the "pop" sound of the fire, although this starry sky is beautiful, no one has the heart to appreciate it.
After two hours of silent waiting, there was still no movement, and the fat man said, "Could it be that there is no blood on our faces?" ”
"It's not the point that you don't have it on the ground, you have to be patient. I really want to know what the people lying in the mountains represent, but unfortunately I can't understand their language, these savages have the wisdom of ordinary people, and they can also have some kind of religious rituals, do you think they have no teacher? Cha Wenbin continued: "Just this black clay pot, which is covered with a primitive astrological map, I guarantee it, if it is not made up by themselves, a small group of savages who have lived a life of Ru Mao and drank blood and have not even mastered the fire, it is impossible to have such a highly civilized jar." ”
"You're saying someone pointed them out?"
"Maybe, maybe pointing, maybe stealing, who knows? I observed their rituals, which were very much like primitive witchcraft, and some of them had been out of order, probably from one generation to the next. Maybe it took them too long to wait for the three of us to appear, and like you said, you can see a different you through that jar, but I want to tell you that the stone, that look has been seen by another person before. ”
"Who?" The fat man was surprised, "You can't fool me. ”
"Lao Xia, once in Zhu Zihao's home, we found an ancient picture of the general, the characters on the picture are almost exactly the same as you, along with that picture, we went to a place called Yangguan, and found the sword engraved with your name there. And at that time, you were missing, Shi, there are many things, it's not that I deliberately hide it from you, but I haven't figured it out yet, in you, in us, I believe that it's not just what they call Jizhou, but there must be more secrets. ”
