Our group groped in the cave along the water flow, and after more than two hours of arduous journey, the front of the water cave finally appeared light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhou Xiaomei is very good at swimming, she swam to me with a flutter, looked ahead with a smile and said: "Wow, it's really exciting, the front is so bright that it should be outside!"

The water level in the water hole was not particularly deep, so I walked hard in the water with heavy steps, and replied as I went, "Well, there should be an exit ahead!"

Zhou Xiaomei changed to a backstroke posture again, and teased me while swimming, saying, "Look at you, walking so hard, it's better to swim like me!"

I glanced at her and replied dismissively, "You have it, let us hold everything, of course you can swim quickly with ease!

Zhou Xiaomei said with a smile: "Haha, I won't carry it, I'm going to swim to the front to take a look, hehe!"

After saying that, she accelerated the pace and swam to the front very leisurely!

Seeing that she was having a lot of fun, I still didn't forget to tell her: "Hey, pay attention to safety, don't mess around!"

Zhou Xiaomei ignored me at all, and swam straight towards the exit of the water cave.

I turned back to Wen Yuan and said, "Wen Yuan, give me your backpack, you go and accompany Zhou Xiaomei to the front to have a look, don't let her have an accident alone!"

Wen Yuan immediately took off his backpack and handed it to me, and with a plop, he got into the water and quickly swam with Zhou Xiaomei.

The water level of the water cave had reached my chest, and I was carrying two wet backpacks on my back, plus I also had a demon slaying sword in my bag, which was indeed a bit of a stretch.

It was not easy to come to the exit, and finally let us escape luckily, it was sunny outside, and the air was very good!

The outlet of the dark river is a mountain stream canyon, Zhou Xiaomei came out of the cave earlier than us, at this time she was sitting on a stone in the water basking in the sun, seeing us take turns out of the cave one by one, she laughed at us and said: "Yo, look at how much you guys rub, I have been basking in the sun for a long time!"

Xiao Zhang glanced at her and said a little unhappily: "You are embarrassed to say it! You don't help take care of so many wounded, you just play by yourself, it's true!"

Zhou Xiaomei smiled without saying a word, continued to sit on the stone and bask in the sun, and had a good time with her feet stretched out in the water!

Zhang Xianyun wrung the two heavy backpacks out of the water and put them on a big stone to dry, he quickly climbed on the stone as well, and said after a long sigh of relief: "Oh, it's finally out! I didn't expect this dark river to save all of our lives, it's really good!"

An injured team member lay on the side of the stone where Zhang Xianyun was sitting, and said to Zhang Xianyun with a smile: "Yes, this time it is really thanks to the president, otherwise I would have died in it!"

Zhang Xianyun looked back at the entrance of the dark river, and still asked vigilantly, "Those pythons shouldn't chase them all the way out along the dark river, right?"

Wen Yuan sneered and said: "We're all out of the ancient tomb, it's still chasing a fart! This river flows out of it, and the air comes out with it! They can't smell the smell of our people, how can they know that we are gone from here!"

Sometimes I'm worried that something will come, and I was about to blame Zhang Xianyun for not wanting a crow's mouth, but I was relieved to hear Wen Yuan explain like this, and the python shouldn't chase after me!

At this time, one of Guomen's disciples said slowly: "President, that python is so big, it is estimated that it has lived for thousands of years, maybe it is specially guarding this ancient tomb!

I frowned and said, "Guarding the tomb? Pythons also have wisdom and can guard tombs?"

The disciple smiled and said, "Of course the python is wise, but it is not understood by us humans! The ancients were good at domesticating wild beasts, and this python was probably domesticated, or it was cursed, so it can also be used to guard the tomb!"

I nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense! Anyway, we shouldn't have to worry about the python coming after us! Let's rest here first, and when we have recovered our strength, we will continue to find the way ashore along the river!"

After hearing this, everyone began to take off their backpacks and clothes, took them to the stones to dry, and climbed on the stones to take a nap.

Zhou Xiaomei sat alone on a big stone to rest, she was the only girl in this group, no one bothered her, let her be chic and happy alone!

Wen Yuan looked at her with a smile, then turned over from the water and climbed onto the stone, sat beside me and said to me: "Uncle, which age is earlier between this Nuwa and the Nine Heavens Xuannu!"

I turned back to him and asked, "Do you ask about the stories of myths and legends, or about the real history?"

Wen Yuan said seriously: "Of course it's the real history, everyone knows the myths and stories, so you don't need to ask!"

I nodded, and replied slowly: "The era of the Suiren clan is much earlier, among which the Suiren Tizi clan appeared about 30,000 years ago, and one of their weaver girls is the leader of the tribe, which should be the earliest female leader in history! The age of the Nuwa clan is about 7,000 years ago, that is, the Nuwa Niangniang in the later legend!"

Wen Yuan asked curiously: "But why do myths say that human beings are all made of clay by Nuwa, and logically speaking, shouldn't Nuwa be the ancestor of human beings?"

I smiled and said, "The ancients often described a certain great man as a god! When Nuwa was the leader, she brought a lot of favors to the clansmen, so the clansmen regarded her as the mother of the clan! In fact, before Fuxi and Nuwa, there were Chao clan and Suiren clan, which were much older than them, but how did the ancients know this, they were only thought to have been made by the same Nuwa clay!"

Wen Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Oh, then the Nine Heavens Xuannu is much earlier than Nuwa, but I didn't expect that the status of the Nine Heavens Xuannu in the ranking of gods is much lower!"

I laughed and said: "It's just a mythical story, it's made up blindly! In the legend, Nuwa is a god with high magic power, in order to benefit mankind, she turned against the heavens, and killed many other gods when quelling the disaster, which is amazing! And the Nine Heavens Xuannu is just an ordinary immortal, because she has helped mankind many times and accepted the gift of the Jade Emperor, this is the title of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, how can she be compared with Nuwa Niangniang!"

Wen Yuan sighed and said: "Myths are myths, and the is really rambling, hey!"

At this time, Xiao Zhang, who was sitting opposite, also asked: "Legend has it that the Nine Heavens Xuannu is a monster with a human head and a bird's body, and some say that she is a phoenix! Why did the ancients like to associate famous people with animals, how can this thing with a human head and a bird's body!"

Wen Yuan turned his head and replied: "Who said no! Is that Nuwa's head and snake tail just a legend, and what you see in the coffin in front of you are real corpses, don't you see it?"

Xiao Zhang nodded in surprise after hearing this, a dark cloud appeared on his face, and fear filled his whole body again.

I stared at Wen Yuan and asked very seriously: "Wen Yuan, you are honest, did the ancients really have so many bizarre species! What is the head of a cow and a human body, a human head and a snake and a bird's body!"

Wen Yuan replied with a smile: "Pangu opened the world, and after he died of exhaustion, his spirit turned into all living beings and all spirits, and all spirits have spirituality, and it is not surprising that they look like all kinds of things!"

After listening to this, I sneered and said: "You are less here, Pangu is just a myth and legend, how can there be any Pangu!"

Wen Yuan smiled and said: "Myths are myths, but myths are not groundless! Pangu may not be a person, he may refer to the aura of the world, this is a kind of analogy of the ancients!"

I looked at Wen Yuan in surprise and asked curiously, "Really, then why did all these species that were somewhat similar to us no longer exist, and what happened in ancient times?"

This time, Wen Yuan revealed more information, he frowned slightly and said slowly: "Didn't the Yellow Emperor have a big war with Emperor Chiyou Yan! People are like this, excluding dissidents and multiplying our races! The ancients were very cruel, and slaughtering the clan was a common thing for them! At that time, food was very scarce, and sometimes slaughtering other races was like what we call hunting......"

Wen Yuan didn't continue to say this, probably because the plot was too bloody, but why did he know so much! Could it be that Wen Yuan also has countless lifetimes of memories? Or is it because his master is more powerful, and these things are all heard from his master?

I didn't ask him, because his willingness to answer my questions was already good, and if I asked him about the origin of these things, he would probably be perfunctory to me, so I might as well not ask.

Then we all lay down on the rocks and took a nap, and an hour later we packed up our things and started on our way!

The river buzzed at the bottom of the canyon and we hiked downstream along the valley for about two hours before the area finally became open.

A short distance ahead there was a waterhole, and we could go ashore and go home.

This waterhole is large and full of dense weeds and silt, somewhat similar to a swamp.

The mud is relatively deep, and in some places it reaches the thighs, so in order to prevent everyone from getting stuck in the mud, we move hand in hand with each other, so that if someone has an accident, they can be pulled out directly.

Not far after entering the waterhole, a flock of wild ducks screamed and flapped their wings and flew away, scaring us all to watch!

Suddenly, the grass on one side began to sway wildly, and at the same time, there was a sound of splashing water, and it was clear from the sound that it was not a small animal!

I was surprised and everyone immediately gathered around, thinking that it was probably the python in the ancient tomb chasing after me, and hurriedly pulled out the demon slaying sword from my backpack!
