7. Photographs

"What's going on?" I was at a loss for a moment in the face of the sudden shock, and the noise on the mountain became louder and louder, and I raised my head to see a few muffled sounds of chickens, ducks, and pigs from the house where I was before, and then a terrible and piercing scream.

"It's Ni here." Suddenly, several people in the room ran out, all of them were the elders who had been asking Ou Qi Ah Zhu before. "Jimu Aku, go get a shotgun, Lao Tzu must kill this guy today." He turned his head and grinned at me. "Today's guests are here, so I'll let you taste the taste of Nij."

Then I saw a young man in the room walking out with a slender shotgun, this kind of gun is **, when it is fired, it is inflated by the first high-pressure cylinder, although the bullet is made of lead bullet, but its biggest advantage is that it can fire 80 bullets in a row when inflated. The uncle took the gun, immediately beckoned a few people and ran towards the mountain.

Now that the sky had darkened, and the village in the mountains was gilded with a golden glow under the light of the fire, I asked a little worriedly, "It's not good to go into the mountain so late, right?" ”

"It's okay." Keith said, "Uncle Ali is used to going into the mountain at night, and we usually stay all night to guard the enclosure on the mountain. ”

"But today is different." Aunt Shamashyi frowned and said bitterly, "Ni, this thing hasn't come out for a long time, how did it run out today?" ”

"Wait, wait, wait." I interrupted my aunt and asked curiously, "What do you keep saying about Ni this?" ”

"Ni is referring to demons and monsters, the mountains are inaccessible, and there are often things that we don't know about, and this is one of the things you just heard, which will run into the cattle and sheep pens at nightfall, and go crazy, and the next morning you will only see the corpses that have been drained of the blood." Then one of them came out of the house, smiled at us, and then saluted Shamashyi.

"Got this thing?" I thought about it and felt a little unbelievable, but I still felt a little scared in my heart when I looked at the deep forest where the mountains overlapped under the black shadows.

Duo nodded to me and said, "That's right, there was once a night watchman on the mountain who saw it with his own eyes. That night, the man looked at the real thing in the wooden house, and it was about the early hours of the night when he heard a little noise and thought that someone was stealing sheep, but when he came out of the house with a stick, he saw a monster about half a meter high, its skin was about the same as that of a dinosaur, with two large eyes the size of an egg, two protruding fangs on its mouth, and spikes of various colors from its neck to its back. ”

"And then?" I'm a little curious, I can't imagine that there really are such strange creatures in this world, and they can be seen with their own eyes.

Then he stayed in the house for the night, and the whole night there were terrible shouts outside, so frightened that he did not dare to go into the mountains again, and so the legend of Ni was spread.

"Then uncle is not afraid?" Am I a little worried? "Shall we follow?" I asked.

When the aunt heard this, she shook her head first, "I think Ali heard the miracles you said, and really thought that there were immortals, so he rushed forward regardless of life or death." But you juniors don't have anything to worry about, Ali is an old hunter in the deep forest, he knows how to measure things, and there will be people going later, so you can go to the house and stay well. Then he turned and walked into the house.

I looked at that Duo a little helplessly, thinking that the aunt was also powerful, and saying these words in front of the clergy was a complete slap in the face. Here, Keith also shrugged his shoulders at me helplessly, and then said, "There is no way, there are some things that cannot be changed once they are more deeply rooted, and no belief can be changed." ”

The duo over there also put his hand on his chest and said a word of ancient Yi language, and left us without looking back.

"What's going on?" I patted Gies, "Auntie is angry with them like this, they don't seem to have any reaction, is it because you witches here are so good-tempered." ”

"Nothing." Ji Si suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Shamashyi's lover is the current master of these flowers, so where do they dare to be disrespectful to her?" ”

"What?" I exclaimed, "How could that be?" ”

"It starts a long time ago." Guise pointed to the stone behind me and motioned for me to sit down. "Aunt Shiyi's lover is a duo, maybe you don't know that we are here to do, they are each generation to continue the inheritance of each generation, that year Aunt Shiyi's lover took a young duo to the forest and never came out again. In the end, under our questioning, we learned that this is the inheritance that every generation must have. ”

"Then Aunt Shiyi's lover died in the forest like this?"

"That's right." Guise sighed, "Those Duo Qi of each generation know that there is a cave in the mountain that has been handed down from ancient times, and it records all the strange things and classics of Duo Qi. There are also the corpses of each generation, so. ”

"So Aunt Shiyi's lover is sitting there? So why not go for it? ”

"Find? How to find it? "Ji Si smiled bitterly" 100,000 mountains, continuous and horizontal, and there are indescribable things in it, who can get in, the previous political axe and the field organized a scientific expedition, saying that it was looking for the cave mansion, the result? It turned out to be nothing, even if it was a little clue. But this matter is not asked about those flowers. Guise gave me a look of disdain and whispered, "That's what my dad told me, too, because it was my dad who took them into the mountains." ”

I sighed, puzzled, "Why didn't you just ask?" ”

"Forget it, they are mysteriously going to die, and they are old antiques who have been following the rules for generations, and they will not penetrate anything."

"That's right, I'm not dwelling on this, and then I asked, right, what about Okiasuke? Why hasn't it come out yet. ”

As soon as my voice fell, he walked out of the house sickly, "What's the matter?" What are you doing in there? ”

"What else can I do, they asked me all the questions about Yang Shizhong, saying that they were going to leave for the Sword River immediately."

"What are you doing there?" I asked, "Obviously, Yang Shizhong is in a place with a sea, how can that place be in Miao Village." ”

"They're going to Miao Village to take care of my!" Okiasuke looked at me with a bitter expression, "Why do I have to go to that kind of place with me, now I can't keep my family busy." ”

"Go to Miao Village?" I thought to myself, then I can go with me? I'd like to see what the person who discovered me looks like, but it's hard to say if I'm still alive, so I can't wait for my memories to be restored in vain. Even if you revisit the old place, you should be able to get back some memories, right? I can't just live my life empty.

"Do you think it's going to be an underground river?" At this time, Giss listened to Asuke's words and guessed, "If the space is strong and windy, the water of the underground river may be able to achieve the effect of wind and waves on the sea." ”

"No, it can't be." Asuke firmly denied it, "That voice is definitely the sea, and it can't be wrong." And don't forget, the point of this matter is that there is also a sea connected to the sky, and this kind of place is definitely not an ordinary place. ”

"And what do those duos say?" I asked, turning my head.

"Say?" Ah Zhu muttered for a while, then frowned and groaned, "The heavens and the sea meet, and the gods are abandoned. It is said that it is the last abandoned place of the gods on earth, it must be somewhere, and it is definitely not the sea, at least not the ordinary sea. ”

"Forsaken by the gods?" I muttered to myself, where could it be?

"Oh yes." Asuke interrupted my thoughts at this time, and suddenly said, "Didn't the old man inside tell you to wait for him?" I guess it's a question of where you came from. ”

"Hmm." I came to my senses and remembered the purpose of my waiting for someone here, "That's right, his disciple sent me a message to ask me to wait, but he doesn't seem to have come out yet?" I stuck my head out and looked around Asuke's body and into the house, where the people were almost gone. Most of the people who heard about this had already taken their farm tools and weapons and ran into the mountains.

It was a little more time before I saw the eldest man slowly move out of the room, with a yellowed ancient book in his hand, and his eyes fixed on my face, no, my mask to be exact.

Then he said a lot of things to me that I didn't understand, and I listened to it in a fog, but after he finished speaking, I saw him turn a page of his book and put it in front of me, it was a black and white photograph of the old era, it was a photograph in the mountains, and there was a shrine hanging high above the huge mountain wall, and there was a statue of the god on it, but because of the yellowing of the photo and the camera technology of the time, I could not see the whole picture.

"Master Brie said that your mask is most likely the mask of the Tiger God, and this photo was taken by a pair of scientific expeditions from here very early on." "At this age, there are basically very few Yi people who can speak Chinese, so I'll help you translate, right?" ”

"Hmm" I nodded, thinking there must be something hidden in it, and crouched down to look at the picture in the book.

And Ochia Suke was still helping me translate what the master said, and I now had a rough idea of what he was looking for me, which meant that I appeared with the person who could reach the gods, and I was wearing the mask of the tiger god, so I thought that I was more or less connected to the gods.

I smiled when I heard this, and I was speechless, and actually regarded me as a god? I also wanted to communicate with God through me, and the next words I also went in and out of my left ear, and all the rest of my thoughts were put on this photo, under the light of the fire, I could indeed see that it was a statue similar to a tiger-faced man, its size should be more than ten meters large, and several places in the photo were circled with red pens, it seemed that there seemed to be some doubts in it.

"That's it." The interpreter who stopped Asuke on my side looked at the picture and said, "May I ask the master a few questions?" ”

"Important?"

"It's very important."
