Chongning was stunned, looked at the camel team over there, and said, "Mr. Lu, look! ”

Lu Pingliu's eyes narrowed slightly, his hands were inserted into his pockets, and he held the kitchen knife in the blanket.

Xuan Zhen didn't think so, he looked over there, his eyes frowned slightly, and said, "Anla, it's okay." ”

Yang Haoyu looked serious, looking over there, holding a golden compass in his hand, his eyes were low.

Boom, boom.

The surrounding sand and dust were flying, and a group of camels stopped next to the altar in an instant.

The camel at the head, with Langjie on top.

I saw Lang Jie jump off the camel.

The rest of the people, in unison with him, leaped off the camels.

Lang Jie knelt down on one knee, put his hands on his forehead, and made an extremely strange movement.

It seemed to be a special ritual, and the rest of the group knelt down with Langjie's movements.

Everyone's movements, in unison, carried out the ancient ritual.

Chongning also relaxed when he saw this situation.

It seems that Lang Jie and the others are not here to make trouble, but to cooperate with Dolma's succession ceremony.

Zhuoma is holding a colorful divine stone, like a nine-day goddess, with a good demeanor.

She slowly walked down the altar, took the sacred stone in her hand, and then walked to Langjie over there.

Lang Jie knelt on his knees, put his hands on his forehead, and slowly leaned down, extremely respectful.

Five-body throwing, this should be the highest etiquette.

Dolma held the sacred stone in one hand, and slowly placed it on his forehead with the other, muttering something in his mouth.

The voice was muffled and abrupt, and it seemed unusually mysterious, and the whole scene seemed to be the coronation ceremony of the royal family.

Lang Jie slowly raised his head, his whole face unusually reverent.

He said a few more words of Gumo to Dolma.

After this, Langjie's status as the chief elder is counted.

Then, from his pocket, he took out a bright knife.

Suddenly, he drew a cross on the palm of his hand, and blood flowed.

This signified his devotion to the high priest.

Dolma used the sacred stone and put it in the palm of his hand.

That's when a magical scene happened.

Everyone's faces were surprised, and when they looked over there, they all felt extremely magical!

Because Langjie's wound, which was still bleeding, was miraculously recovered.

This thing is too weird.

Chongning's heart was extremely shocked, and it was the same as his own daughter's hand.

The Gumo people fell to their knees one after another, chanting something together in their mouths, like the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, chanting together.

Everyone present, Xuan Zhen, Duan Jingzhi, Yang Haoyu and Lu Pingliu, were all stunned.

They couldn't believe their eyes, they couldn't believe that what was in front of them was real.

Xuan Zhen rubbed his eyes with his hands, looked ahead in dismay, and said in surprise: "Daning, have you seen it?" Am I dazzled? ”

Duan Jingzhi was also extremely surprised, and said, "Yes, Brother Ning, look, his wounds are actually healing!" ”

Lu Pingliu and Yang Haoyu also had solemn faces and surprised faces.

Chongning was also extremely surprised, he looked at the colorful divine stone in Zhuoma's hand, and his heart felt like a river and a sea.

Could it be that this colorful divine stone has something to do with his own golden hand?

The five colors represent the five elements, and the spiritual power represents the divine power.

Is all this a coincidence, or is there some inexplicable connection?

The ritual on the altar is still going on, followed by a long dance.

At the time of the dance, the clansmen are dressed in strange clothes, their faces are covered with oil paint, and their clothes are colorful.

They danced clumsily, as if they were praying for mercy from the gods, and as if they were offering to their ancestors and gods.

From a distance, it looks like a big dance party feast.

The whole ceremony lasted a long time.

By the time the ceremony was over, it was already afternoon.

At this time, Zhuoma on the altar had officially become the high priest of the Gumo tribe.

Now it's time for Chongning and the others to leave.

Lu Pingliu led a group of camels and walked over, and the camels were already equipped with enough food and water.

These things were all prepared by Dolma in advance.

At this time, Dolma also came over and said, "My father wants to see you and has something to say. ”

Chongning was stunned and asked, "The patriarch wants to see us?" ”

Ever since that incident, the patriarch has been in a bad mood and has been locking himself in his room.

Soon, the people came to the inner courtyard.

The lobby of the inner courtyard was unusually quiet, and there was not a single guard around.

Perhaps after that incident, the patriarch no longer trusted anyone.

Therefore, the whole lobby seems unusually empty.

Through the inner courtyard, Chongning and the others walked into the hall.

The patriarch's expression returned to his usual blood color.

After the blood poison is cleared, you only need to rest for a few days.

When the patriarch saw Chongning and the others coming in, his attitude was also very respectful, after all, they were all life-saving benefactors.

After a few words of greeting, the patriarch suddenly changed his words and said, "You went to the depths of the desert, do you want to find the tomb of the Western Xia king?" ”

The crowd was amazed, because they had said that it was a caravan selling supplies.

For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

The patriarch's eyes were deep, looking at Chongning, and he seemed to be able to see through everyone's hearts.

Instead of going on, he walked back to the table, took a piece of parchment from the drawer, and handed it over.

Chongning took the parchment and looked down, greatly surprised.

Because on the parchment, there is a square text, which is the Western Xia script!

Moreover, under the text, there is a pattern, which turns out to be the Xixia jade seal!

Chongning was greatly surprised, and looked at the patriarch in dismay, not knowing what to say.

The patriarch's face was not good.

He pondered for a moment and said, "This jade seal is, the treasure of the prince of Western Xia." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Lu Pingliu and the others looked at each other.

Chongning's heart was shocked.

He didn't know what the relationship between the Gumo tribe and the prince of Western Xia was?

Lu Pingliu groaned and said, "Could it be that you are the tomb keepers of the Western Xia Tomb?" ”

"Grave keeper?" When everyone heard this, they were all extremely surprised and incredible.

In the vicinity of some large mausoleums, especially royal mausoleums, there are sometimes tomb guard families.

They have only one mission, and that is to protect the peace of the mausoleum for generations.

Chongning looked at the patriarch, trying to see some information from his expression.

The patriarch pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Yes, our Gumo clan was indeed the tomb keeper of the tomb of the Western Xia King in the past. ”

"After the founding of the Western Xia Emperor Li Yuanhao, he selected fourteen fierce tribes to serve as the guardians of the royal tomb." 33

"We, the Gumo tribe, are one of the fourteen tribes."

The Western Xia was a dynasty founded by a small number of tribes, and in addition to the Dangxiang tribe, there were also an unusually large number of tribes.

Some of these tribes are the tomb keepers of the royal family!

It seems that this Gumo clan is the tomb guarding tribe that has been guarding here!

"According to the records of our clan, what we are guarding is the tomb of the crown prince of the Western Xia Emperor."

"The tribal task of the Gumo tribe is to protect the tomb of the prince of Western Xia for generations."

The prince of Western Xia?

Chongning's head was constantly searching for the information in it.

When he came, he learned a little about the history of Western Xia.

The crown prince of the entire Western Xia seems to be only a handful.

In 1038 AD, Li Yuanhao was proclaimed emperor, and Yeli was made empress.

Yeli had three sons, the eldest son Ning Ming, the second son Ning Lingge, and the youngest son Xue Li.

The youngest of the three sons, Xue Li, died young, and the eldest son, Ning Ming, was made the crown prince.

The prince of Western Xia, it should be the prince who is talking about it, Ning Ming!

Ning Ming's personality is very different from his father.

He has a benevolent temperament, does not like fame and fortune, and is obsessed with the Taoist art of cultivating immortals.

In 1043 AD, Ning Ming was practicing Taoist cultivation of immortals, and he went so mad that he could not eat, and finally died at a young age.

If it is really this prince, then the Western Xia tomb in this desert should be the tomb of the prince.

After the patriarch finished speaking, Chongning and the others fell into deep thought.

Lu Pingliu was more cautious and said, "Why did the patriarch tell us about this? ”

Since he is a grave keeper, he should keep his mouth shut and not mention it to anyone.

Not to mention that the information about the tomb will be revealed to outsiders.

As soon as Lu Pingliu reminded him, everyone also felt strange.

The patriarch's face did not become very good, and there was some sentimentality in his eyes.

He turned his head and said word by word, "Have you noticed that there are no old people in our clan?" ”

This question stopped everyone.

Chongning was stunned and thought about it again.

It is true that it is rare to see people over the age of fifty among the Gumer.

The oldest were only the patriarchs and the high priests, and the older ones seemed to have never seen them.

Chongning asked, "What's going on?" ”

The patriarch pondered for a moment and said, "This is because the ancestor of the Gumo clan signed a contract with the Western Xia royal family. ”

"All the people of the clan are cursed not to live to be fifty years old."

"As soon as the people reach the age of fifty, they will die violently."

"If everything is normal, in two years, I will also be gone."

As he spoke, the patriarch's expression became even darker, and the luster in his eyes gradually disappeared, as if he was dead.

Chongning was extremely surprised, this kind of contract was simply unheard of.

"Why did you sign such a contract?" Duan Jingzhi was extremely difficult to understand.

Lu Pingliu said lightly: "They are a tomb guarding family, and they naturally need young and strong people. The old man, in the ancient tribes, was just a burden and a burden. ”

Chongning said in surprise: "Then how can this curse be broken?" ”

The patriarch's eyes flickered with a hint of brilliance, but then they dimmed again.

He groaned and said, "There is only one way to lift the curse, and that is to go to the prince's tomb and break the cursed stone. ”

"Then the curse of our entire Gumo clan will be able to disappear completely."

Xuan Zhen, who had been silently beside him, suddenly said: "What does the patriarch mean, does he want us to enter the tomb of the prince of Western Xia and break the so-called cursed stone?" ”

Everyone looked at the patriarch.

The light in the patriarch's eyes dimmed, and he said, "My own words, it doesn't matter. ”

After experiencing changes, he took life and death very lightly.

"It's just that I can't bear to watch my children, generations, generations of clansmen, carrying this curse."

"It's not the Western Xia Dynasty now, we just want to live a normal life, we don't want to be loyal to anyone, we just want to live quietly."

Some people died, but not completely......
