Seeing Gui Ze come in, the child in the stone jar grinned at Gui Ze, but because his face was also festering, he looked even more terrible than the people of the Yu tribe laughing, but the eyes were still bright, like the sunlight reflected on the sparkling sea.

As for Shao Xuan, he was reduced to a background board, and the kid named Diandian just swept over him casually, and didn't look at it anymore, with the same attitude as everyone else.

"How do you feel today?" Gui Ze went over and looked carefully at the situation in the stone jar.

"It's so much better!"

The immature voice has not changed because of the condition, if you just listen to the voice, you would never have thought that her condition is so serious.

He Bian and the others, who were guarding the side, looked at Gui Ze nervously, and when the child looked down at the fish in the stone tank, Gui Ze shook his head at He Bian and them.

The expectant eyes of He Bian and the others suddenly dimmed, full of disappointment, and even more grief. Wu asked them to come here to find a solution, but if they couldn't cure the disease here, then where should they go to find the answer? Or maybe the place Wu said was not actually here, but somewhere else further upstream?

I heard that the stone bridge in Yanjiao was only built after moving here, not on the Yan River, if it weren't for this stone bridge, they wouldn't have been stopped, and this was not the end.

In the past two days, I have also discussed privately with the people of Dishan, whether to leave or stay, and there is still no conclusion. Some people say that this is definitely not a place for witchcraft, and that they can't waste time here, and that they should continue to go upstream. But the other half of the people felt that this was the place, after all, the people of Yanjiao also said that there would be fewer tribes upstream, and besides, only Yanjiao was the most powerful in this vicinity.

He Bian was irritable. He couldn't decide, after all, no matter which one he chose, if he chose the wrong one, there would be no chance for them to regret it, and he might even usher in the extermination of the Dishan clan.

Maybe. Should I ask?

He Bian looked towards the stone jar, still teasing the three fish in the stone jar, and answered Gui Ze's question from time to time.

Although she is much better, it is only compared to the feeling of tormenting in a shell during a long journey, and it is much better to be able to move freely in a stone jar than when she was in a shell. But if you look at her condition, you will find that it is compared to when she first came out of the shell. The festering situation is serious again.

Shao Xuan squatted down and kept his eyes level with the people inside, "I have a few questions I want to ask." ”

After saying that, Shao Xuan looked at He Bian at the door, dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at Shao Xuan with deep defense, they could allow Gui Ze, the witch, to talk to Diandian alone, but not allow others to do this, not to mention. Shao Xuan is still a man, who knows what will happen if he is left here?

Shao Xuan was not in a hurry. Waiting for the person in the stone jar to decide, he knew that this kid actually knew everything.

The movement of the little beats on the water in the stone jar slowed down, and he hung his head, as if he was thinking seriously for a long time. Only then did he look up at He Bian and the others, "He Bian stays, and the others go out." ”

Calling Hebian by his name did not have the same respect that other tribesmen did for their chief, and the people of Dishan did not seem to think that there was anything wrong with this. It is conceivable that the status of this child in Dishan, even if it is only the scheduled next witch, even if she is seriously ill now, it will not affect her status.

He Bian wanted to persuade again, but he also knew that once the people in the stone jar decided, it would be difficult to change it, so he could only wave his hand and signal the others to go out and stay away, don't think about eavesdropping.

After there were only four people left in the room, He Bian pulled the doors and windows together, and when Yanjiao built the house, the wood used belonged to the kind of sound insulation, so they compared many kinds of wood, and finally finalized the one, which is also a kind of wood that is commonly used in Yanjiao to build houses today and grows in the mountains and forests.

The noise outside suddenly faded, and the room fell silent.

"Diandian, there are two totemic powers in your body, and that is the reason for your illness, which also means that your Qishan tribe has two fires. ”

In the quiet room, Shao Xuan's calm words were like a thunderbolt, directly blowing up He Bian and freezing there.

After coming back to his senses, He Bian couldn't help but retort, "How can there be two tinders?!

When Shao Xuan was looking for him alone, he also asked such a question, but at that time, He Bian felt ridiculous, had no common sense, and was just nonsense, but now, ......

After He Bian finished shouting, he found that the dots in the stone jar were still silent and did not refute.

His eyes swept back and forth at the person in the stone jar and Shao Xuan and Gui Ze, and He Bian's mouth grew bigger and bigger, and the shock on his face was undisguised.

Seeing that the people in the stone jar were silent, Shao Xuan continued. "The other tinder, it's the fish, right?"

Over there, He Bian, who was already standing there in shock, was blown up by the news at this time, but this time he didn't shout again, but looked at the person in the stone jar for the first time.

The person in the stone jar looked up at Shao Xuan at this time, with surprise in her eyes, she didn't expect Shao Xuan to know this.

Silence, but no rebuttal.

"It turned out to be ...... Really?!" He Bian shook his lips, his slightly tanned face turned gray, although he knew something that other people didn't know, and his feelings for Diyu were also complicated, he never thought it would be like this.

Do you have tinder?!

How did they never notice it?

Where's the tinder?!

It's unbelievable, and it completely exceeds what they knew before.

This guess Shao Xuan told Gui Ze before he came, and Gui Ze was also stunned for a long time, and now he has a little reaction, confirming that Shao Xuan's guess is true.

Dian Diandian looked at the water in the stone tank again, and stretched out his hand to the fish in the stone tank, "A long, long time ago, the ancestors of Dishan came to Dishan with the help of Diyu to establish the Dishan tribe, and at the same time regarded Diyu as a gift from the gods, and also let the descendants of Dishan treat them with the same courtesy, if there are Dishan people who die, the ancestors will give them to Diyu, and the ancestors said that Diyu will bring the people to a better place." ”

Yes, this is a story that has been passed down from generation to generation in the mountains, and He Bian has also been brainwashed by this story since childhood, and they have never doubted anything, because the fish will indeed help them, and when they are short of food, they will bring the fish back from the sea. Thrown ashore, if the people of Dishan encounter danger in the sea, the fish will also help. And the people of Dishan will also help the fish, and when the fish are in trouble, the people of Dishan will try their best to help them.

It looks like a mutually beneficial symbiosis.

However, after Hebian took over the position of chief. He saw a different idea in the notes of previous leaders, and most of them were left over the last few hundred years. The views are different, but they can be summed up in one sentence, guard against the fish, otherwise the Dishan tribe may be wiped out.

In fact, the tribe had this similar condition a long time ago, maybe it was at that time that the ancestors of Dishan noticed that something was wrong, but they knew the key people. There may only be witches. He Bian didn't know why Wu kept it a secret, maybe there were doubts and felt that this idea was disrespectful, or maybe it was some other reason.

After all, the leader is not a witch, and in the Dishan tribe, what a leader like He Bian can understand is still too limited to know the truth.

Now, more and more people are getting sick. But most of the people of Dishan do not associate this with Diyu. But now, what did this Great Elder of the Flame Horn say?

The fish are the cause of this strange disease in their tribe?!

The people in the stone jar did not look at the reaction of the other three people in the house. While teasing the three fish in the water, he continued: "Seven hundred years ago, the first person of the Dishan tribe to fall ill appeared, and he could not be cured, and he himself jumped into the sea where the Diyu lived, but was pushed ashore by the Diyu. According to the Patriarch's Notes, a school of fish surrounded the man, and after pushing him ashore, he did not leave for a long time until the man died soon after. The fish sank into the sea with him. ”

He Bian's eyelids jumped twice, he had heard those stories, and every time his elders and the people around him told this story, they were also grateful and said that the fish really protected them, even if they were sick and couldn't see their personal appearance, they were still unwilling to take them into the sea, and the fish was really good to the people of Dishan.

But now that I listen to it, I always have a creepy feeling, and He Bian felt a chill down his spine when he heard it. The bad feeling is getting stronger.

"After that, every few decades, the tribe would have that kind of disease again, and they were all children who had just awakened the power of the totem, and they were all incurable, and they died soon after, and they could not survive for more than two years. Later, the time of the onset of the disease got closer and closer, and more and more people got sick, until this time, when it reached its peak, Wu said, the fish had already begun to act, and their fire was strong enough......

"Why don't you kill them when you know the reason?!Kill them!" He Bian looked excited, the muscles on his face trembled, his eyes were fierce and crazy, and his expression became hideous.

"It's late, the two kinds of fire, it's hard to separate, if you act rashly, it may trigger a crazy counterattack by Diyu, after all, Diyu can go ashore, and, under the direct fight, the fire of Dishan will also be seriously damaged. Before coming out this time, Wu said that there was not enough time, either win or die, but in the end, Wu hoped that there would be another solution. The man in the stone jar stared down at the fish inside.

He Bian thought of the ancestors of Qishan, they had listened to the words handed down by the ancestors since they were children, and accepted the indoctrination of ideas, even if they were witches, not everyone had the same idea, even if they found out that the abnormality was in the contradictions and hesitations, they wasted time, and when they really decided, it was too late.

"For nearly a hundred years, the witches of Qishan have been looking for a solution, but to no avail. This time, Wu said that he had finally found a solution, which was to go up the river near the tribe and connected to the sea until he could no longer move forward. ”

As he spoke, he looked at He Bian a little, "Do you know how the totem of the mountain came about?"

He Bian shook his head with a face that was almost broken.

Diandian looked at Shao Xuan and the two again, "Borrow a pen." ”

Shao Xuan took out the brush and a blank cloth he had been carrying, and the pen barrel had been filled with paint, which was made by Shao Xuan, and he could write and draw directly after pulling out the cap.

Diandian looked at the pen in his hand, and then lay down on the edge of the stone jar, letting He Bian hold the cloth.

"At the beginning of the establishment of the mountain, the totem was like this. At the position of the palm of He Bian's left hand, he drew a strange human face, but it was different from the pattern of the word "囧" that Shao Xuan saw like wearing glasses.

As Dian Dian continued to paint, Shao Xuan also found more different places, and the proportion of fish fins and tails around the human face was much smaller.

After finishing the painting, Dian Dian continued to draw at the position of He Bian's right palm: "Now, the totem of Di Mountain is like this. ”

The second painting is similar to that painted by He Bian, and it was also seen by Shao Xuan on a large shell. The proportion of the human face is smaller, there are more lines on the face, it is more weird, the proportion of fins and tails is larger, and there seem to be a few more strokes on the other side of the face.

If there is no first picture, it is difficult to find something wrong on the second one, and each generation of Dishan people knows the totem, most of the time they see it in the sacrificial ceremony and in the fire pond, and they think that it is what they need to remember, and those who remember the mistake will correct it.

Without stopping there, he pulled the dot and continued to paint after the second one, "If we continue like this, the future totem will be like this." ”

As the third stroke came out, He Bian's hand trembled even more.

I saw that on the third totem painting, the proportion of the face was not much different from the second one, but on the other side of the face, Shao Xuan felt that there were a few more strokes just now, and now it has finally been completed.

It was a fish's mouth.

With a fishtail on one side of the face and a fish's mouth on the other, it looks like you've swallowed the face.

"The totem of the Dishan tribe has changed from the 'combination' style to the 'swallowing' style!"

He Bian, who was holding the cloth, looked even more ugly at this time, a drop of sweat slipped down his forehead, and his voice trembled, "They...... The fire that is devouring the mountains!" (To be continued.) )
