"Why don't you go and find out?" Long shyly walked up to Mo Wen and raised his hand to the north.

"Don't be in a hurry, I'll have a meeting coming later." Mo Wen shook his head and said, then raised his hand to beckon Lou Gu to the front, "The tunnel on the cliff leads straight to the isolated island in the river?" ”

"Yes." Lou Gu nodded and said.

"Let's take a look first." The dragon was ashamed and afraid that Lou Gu would lie.

"You can't go during the day, there is poisonous gas in the tunnel." Lou Gu looked frightened and waved his hand again and again.

Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lou Gu, then walked back to the house, "Come in and talk." ”

"Is the tunnel on the cliff man-made or a natural achievement?" Mo asked for the two of them to follow, and Chong Lou Gu asked.

"There are steps for Xiangxia." Lou Gu replied immediately.

Mo Wen turned his head to look at Long Shy, Long Shy, who slowly shook his head with a puzzled face, indicating that he didn't know that there was this artificially built tunnel on the cliff of the back mountain before.

Mo Wen retracted his gaze and frowned, this tunnel runs from the bottom of the river, five miles long, it is not a day's work to dig such a tunnel, and the entrance of this tunnel is located on the cliff, obviously not wanting to be discovered.

"How many years have you lived here?" Mo Wen pondered for a moment, and asked Chonglong shyly.

"Miao women have always lived here, and they have been like this for generations." Long said shyly.

"It is not easy to dig a five-mile-long tunnel from the bottom of the river, and it is not for nothing that your ancestors took so much time and effort to dig this tunnel." Mo asked.

"The tunnel is located behind our village, presumably it was dug by our ancestors, but I really don't know the existence of this tunnel, and I don't know that our ancestors Weishenme want to dig the tunnel." The dragon shook his head shyly and said.

"How many times have you been to that isolated island in the river?" Mo Wen turned his head to look at Lou Gu.

"I've only been to one ......," Lou Gu said halfway through, seeing that Long was shy and wanted to pull out a short knife, he hurriedly changed his words halfway, "I went six times, and once I didn't get the heavenly rat." ”

"What's going on in the tunnels, and what's going on the island?" Mo asked.

"The tunnel is so high, so wide, it's damp inside." Lou Gu stretched out his hands and gestured, according to the size of his gesture, the tunnel behind the mountain was much higher than him, and there were three people wide and narrow.

"There is a big tree at the exit of the tunnel, every time I go, I take the bat poop under the tree and turn back, I don't dare to go inside, I don't see what the situation on the island is." Lou Gu said again.

"I've been there so many times, and I don't know what the situation is like on the island?" The dragon asked shyly.

"I really didn't see clearly, every time I went it was at night, the torches didn't shine far, I walked underground for so long, I couldn't even tell the difference between southeast and northwest, and I only took bat when I went, and never dared to go inside, in case the big bat came back, it would block me inside." Lou Gu explained with a sad face.

"Have you seen that giant bat?" Mo Wen hurriedly asked.

"No, it's not there every time I go." Lou Gu shook his head and said.

"And how do you know it's huge?" Mo Wen asked with a frown.

"There is leftovers for it to eat under the tree, and the little bats will certainly not eat tigers and leopards." Lou Gu said.

Mo Wen glanced at Lou Gu when he heard this, what Lou Gu said corresponded to his previous discovery, and what this person said must be the truth.

"You have lived here for a long time, and you are the patriarch of the Miao people, and you don't know anything about the isolated island in the river?" Mo Wen turned his head to look at Long shyly.

"The island is in the middle of the river, the boat can't get into the water, and the rock wall of the island is too steep to get up even if we row close, we haven't been up for years, and we haven't thought about going up." The dragon shook his head shyly and said.

Mo Wen nodded slowly, this is a wild area, the grass and trees are evergreen, and there are also a large number of trees on that island, and the huge trees cover the scenery on the island, and you can only see trees from a distance, and you can't see anything else.

"There's something strange about that island." Mo Wen pondered for a moment and frowned and said.

Long Han was embarrassed to hear the words and looked at Mo with a puzzled face, waiting for him to answer.

"If the giant bat was on the island at this time, I could clearly perceive its presence five miles away, but I didn't feel anything at this time. If it weren't for the giant bats that weren't on that island, it was a formation or barrier around the island that blocked the aura. Mo Wen expressed his speculation.

"But Lou Gu has been on the island." Long Han was also full of doubts at this time.

"Some formations and barriers can leave a living door, but they don't completely block outsiders." Mo Wen shook his head and said, he couldn't detect the existence of the giant bat, only the giant bat was not on the island and there were two possibilities around the island that there were formations or barriers, he preferred the latter, otherwise the fifth would really have no physiology.

Long Han and Lou Gu didn't answer when they heard this, Long Han was suspicious in his heart, and Lou Gu was also in a fog when he listened.

"I thought about it." Mo Wen's heart flashed with inspiration.

"What?" Long asked shyly.

"There are no ancestral halls in your two villages, how do you worship your ancestors?" Mo Wen asked, he had been to the two villages of the Miao people, but he had not found a place to worship the ancestors.

"Ancestor worship is carried out by the patriarch alone on the night of the end of the year, and other clansmen do not need to participate." The dragon replied shyly.

"How did you proceed?" Don't ask.

Long Han turned his head to look at Lou Gu when he heard this, "Qima broke her leg while picking fruits, you go and see her." ”

Lou Gu saw that Long was ashamed and did not blame him, but allowed him to go to see his friend, thanked him repeatedly, and went out happily.

After Lou Gu left, Mo Wen looked at Long shyly and waited for her to speak.

"My grandmother died very suddenly, and she didn't tell me how to worship her ancestors, and I don't know." The dragon whispered shyly.

Mo Wen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, originally thought that Long Han sent Lou Gu away to tell the secret, but he never thought that she didn't know how to worship her ancestors at all. At this time, the Miao people were honored by women, and the position of leader was passed down by women from generation to generation.

"Where is the house where Grandmother Ling's house lives?" Mo asked.

"It's the cave you lived in before." The dragon replied shyly.

Mo Wen Wenyan was completely dead, he had lived in that cave for a long time, there was nothing strange about it, in addition, the Miao people did not understand writing, there was no written record, important things were all passed on by word of mouth, and as soon as a person died, the clues were lost.

"If my guess is correct, then the isolated island in the river may be the place of sacrifice of your Miao people." Although Mo Wen was just guessing, his tone was very sure, because the tunnel leading to the isolated island in the river was in the mountain behind Miao Village, and it was naturally dug out by the Miao people.

"Why don't we go to the entrance first?" The dragon's shy curiosity grew.

"It's fine." Mo Wen nodded and said, it is better to see it with your own eyes than to talk about it on paper.

After the two went out, Long Han shy walked towards the east side of the cottage, Mo asked to follow, but stopped halfway through, and grabbed Long Shy, "Wait a moment." ”

"What's wrong?" The dragon asked shyly.

Mo Wen didn't answer, his ears and eyes were clear, and although there were many noises in the cottage, he still heard some unusual sounds from it.

Although Long was ashamed and didn't know why, seeing that Mo didn't answer, he could only wait on the side, and after half a pillar of incense, Mo Wen nodded, "Call him out." ”

Long shyly turned around and walked to a wooden house on the east side, shouted twice, and after a while, Lou Gu ran out quickly, and the Miao man was dressed simply, and he was dressed quickly.

"Take us to the entrance to the tunnel." Long said shyly to Lou Gu, who trotted ahead to lead the way.

The peak on the north side of the cottage is very steep, and it is impossible to climb from the foot of the Yanglu Xiangxia, so it can only be circled to the foot of the back mountain to climb in Xiangshang.

Most of the women in the cottage live at the foot of the mountain on the south side, and the women with higher status such as Long Hanshi live in a cave halfway up the mountain, and there is still a long distance from the cave to the top of the mountain, and the reason why they did not find the giant bat is mainly because the bat is nocturnal, and they can't see things five miles away at night. Mo Wen had lived here for a long time before, and he had never seen the giant bat, mainly because the cave he lived in was located on the mountainside of Yanglu, and he could not find the giant bat unless he ran to the top of the mountain at night to look northwest.

The north side of the mountain peak is very steep, convex up and down, and the shape of a depression in the middle, such a shape can never climb from the back mountain to the top of the mountain, which shows that Lou Gu may not have achieved the purpose of stealing jade and stealing incense before, but just held back and tried blindly.

Under the cliff, Lou Gu took out the water bladder hanging on his waist and drank water, took off his shoes after drinking water, and then took a few steps back to speed up and rushed to the stone wall, the stone wall of the back mountain was blown by the north wind all the year round, it has become very smooth, and its slope is very steep, Lou Gu did not run much higher speed and slowed down, Lou Gu raised his hand in turn to spit on the palm, so as to increase the grip of the palm, many times, and finally rushed to the mountainside to climb the stone wall and stopped.

Mo Wen kept looking down, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but secretly say what a disgusting way. But at the same time, he also understood why Lou Gu refused to say where the luminous sand came from, because to get a piece of luminous sand, not only had to venture to climb the cliff, but also had to walk five miles out of the dark tunnel, and finally had to bear the risk of being discovered by giant bats, and it was not easy to get these ten taels of gold.

"I'll carry you up." Mo asked Chonglong said shyly.

What Mo Wen didn't expect was that Long Han didn't lie on his back when he heard this, but slowly shook his head and sighed, "What you said earlier is really correct, the island in the river should be a place of sacrifice for our Miao people." ”

Mo Wen was also puzzled when he heard this, and he didn't understand why Long Han was so sure.

"The patriarchs of all generations have to learn the method of betrayal, and I have learned it, but I have never known that weishenme wants to learn." After the dragon said shyly, he turned around and stuck to the stone wall, his feet were propped up, his arms, shoulders and elbows were forced, and he swam away quickly, and his shape was somewhat similar to the gecko wall technique used by the martial artists, but it was the opposite, and the back was attached to the stone wall.

To the mountainside area, the dragon shyly turned around and stood against the stone wall, beckoned to Mo Wen, Mo Wen volleyed up, jumped in, the stone wall on the mountainside has an area of about one foot for people to step on, the right side of this area has been hollowed out, the beginning of the excavation is a cascade shielding method, that is, the outer stone layer is retained, from below it seems to be a whole, and you can't see the hole hidden in the outer layer.

The entrance to the cave is nine feet high and two feet wide, and the space is slightly wider, with multiple stone steps leading diagonally to the deep underground......
