The eldest sister happened to come to the gate to pick up firewood, and the emperor dragon casually asked: "Eldest sister, what kind of place is this?

The eldest sister looked out for a moment and said, "Hey, I don't know what kind of place this is, it's the first time I've been here, it doesn't matter what kind of place he is, as long as the thunder can't strike us, we'll have dinner in a while, let's dry the clothes first." ”

Huanglong nodded, and hurriedly said, "It's done, it's done." ”

Huang Long saw that everyone was busy, and he was alone, so he simply went back to the house and found a corner to sleep against the wall for a while.

As he paced along the wall, he noticed that the wall was full of pictures by the light of the great fire in the middle of the stone house.

The dragon looked closely, and found that the paintings were about all kinds of rare beasts, some of them had seen and some of them had never seen, and among these beasts were mixed with some people, who were driving the horses and camels in a procession of winding forward. Horses and camels were carrying large and small parcels, and in the middle of the parcels were the figures of young girls. They are either holding a pipa, a bamboo flute, or a slapstick in their arms, obviously in band costumes.

The band is flanked by samurai holding flags, each dressed in military uniforms and full of spirit.

At the back of the line, there was a phalanx, and the soldiers were densely surrounded.

"What is this, is this this?" the dragon stared, unable to believe his eyes.

I saw that in the middle of the phalanx was a huge coffin. The coffin is covered with all kinds of flowers, flowers and leaves. It looks extremely grand and solemn.

"If you guess correctly, the person lying inside is the ancestor of our clan, and this picture should be called the Fallen Leaves Returning to the Roots. The seventh sister walked over, and as far as the eye could see, the huge mural was colorful and realistic, and it seemed that this spectacular scene was beating in front of her. It seems that the melodious and rich music can be heard in the ears, paying tribute to the mourning of the deceased.

"Oh, is there any origin for this painting?" asked the dragon.

"It's the first time I've seen it, but the story of this picture is familiar to me. I heard the old people say that the ancestors of the Culai people paid great attention to trade and circulation from the beginning. They traveled thousands of miles to transport the local specialties of Mount Tai to the west, where there are deserts and oases, and then exchanged them for rare and exotic products, transported them to the Central Plains, and exchanged them for handicrafts with an extremely objective quantity, and then sold them along the way, and returned to their hometowns all the way. They go out almost every year at the beginning of spring, rush back in the middle of winter every year, and reunite with the tribesmen in the coldest season, hold gluttonous feasts around the bonfire, and share the wealth of goods with the tribesmen. ”

"Well, I heard a little bit about Xu Wen. But the content of this painting seems to be a tribute to whom?" asked the dragon, pointing to the group.

"Well, listen to the old people, the ancestors were involved in a battle during the trade, the clansmen and the royal family united to defeat the invaders, but the ancestors unfortunately died on the battlefield, the clansmen were extremely sad, according to the ancestors' will, the fallen leaves returned to the roots, into the countryside for peace, the royal people cut down Mount Tai wood to cast into a coffin, the coffin was inlaid with Mount Tai jasper, and the charm was on it, protecting the ancestors' spirits for thousands of years. The tribesmen were escorted back from thousands of miles and buried in a mysterious place. It seems that none of the clansmen have ever seen that place. ”

When the emperor heard this, he missed the royal family and his father. He knew that the battle was huge, and even the Mo clan who were far away in the sky were involved, not to mention the Culai clan, which was closer to Mount Tai.

"What's wrong with you? Brother Yao. Seeing that Huanglong was thoughtful, the seventh sister asked worriedly.

Hearing this, Huanglong raised his head, looked at the delicate face of the seventh sister, felt the warmth brought to him by her concern, and was a little relieved in his heart.

"It's nothing, I just thought that the people must have been very sad at that time. ”

"Indeed, listening to the old people, our ancestors opened up the Culai Mountain, laid the foundation of the Culai people, and later found a means of making a living through trade, and also taught everyone the martial arts internal strength exercises, so that the Culai people have a high foothold in this martial arts world. If there were no ancestors, there would be no self-confidence and glory of the Culai people. ”

"yes. Xu Wen walked over, "Our ancestors have always advocated trade and made friends all over the world, but I never expected that now our clan has betrayed the teachings of our ancestors, closed the city gates, and used it for its own use, making the people of the clan miserable, which is really disrespectful." ”

Seeing that Xu Wen had finally vacated the space and moved to the mural, Huanglong changed the topic and asked, "Brother Xu Wen, do you usually live in this cave?"

"It's not. Xu Wen shook his head and said, "Usually I can't find here, only when I encounter a violent storm, I will always want to come here." ”

"Oh?" the crowd was amazed.

"Isn't this cave easy to find, do you often get lost?" asked Li Ruoran.

"It's not. I know pretty much everything about Culai Mountain. Usually I go around the mountains, even if I go north to Mount Tai, I can't find this place, but when I encounter stormy weather, I can always encounter it. ”

"This is the most strange thing in the world. Li Ruoran paced to the door and said, "You can find a few trees outside and carve them." ”

"It's useless, I've tried, but there isn't even a shadow of a tree within a radius of ten miles, as if it appeared out of thin air. ”

"If that's the case, how did you find it?" the dragon asked, thinking of a fatal point.

"I don't know, but when the weather is bad, it's like there's a voice in my heart that says there's a place to take shelter from somewhere. It's a feeling, and if I go forward with my feeling, I'll find it. It's almost tried-and-true. You see, these firewoods were prepared by me during the storm last year, when I went to pick wild fruits with Xiaomei, and by the way, I cut a lot of firewood, and when I was walking home, I suddenly encountered a storm. ”

"It's such a magical place. Li Ruoran exclaimed.

"Eldest sister, have you ever encountered such a situation?" Huang Long asked eldest sister.

"Never, for the first time. ”

"Could it be that only the patriarch will meet it?" The third sister has always loved to collect information, and at this moment she remembered a few things.

"I heard from my father that he hid here when he was traveling with the old patriarch in bad weather, and later, my father and the current patriarch also hid here. All along, everyone thought that my father was lying, so it seems that the cave is not only real, but also proves it. ”

"What?" the crowd asked.

"That means Xu Wen is our future patriarch!"

Hearing this, everyone visited Xu Wen with surprise.

"Don't, don't make jokes like that. Now that I have been expelled from the tribe, I am no longer qualified to be a wanderer, and my mother will live a long and healthy life, how can I have such a non-dividing thought. Xu Wen's face was full of shame, and his words were humble and docile, and he didn't dare to make any mistakes.
