Chapter 583: The Graveyard
Sharp face made a gesture with me for a while, and I finally understood what he meant. It turned out that this string of stone bracelets was a symbol of identity for them, meaning the strongest warrior.
I was speechless when I heard this. It turned out that the weak chicken I defeated was actually the strongest warrior here. It would be too trash to fight alone, right?
However, what surprised me was that the sharp face told me that as the strongest warriors, they have privileges to enter and exit many places that ordinary people cannot access.
When I heard this, I became curious and asked him, are there any places where ordinary people cannot enter here? Why didn’t we find it?
We have also been shopping in the palace where they live for a long time. There are only more than 100 people living here. The place is not big, but there is nothing worth noting about.
We even planned to leave after reading the murals.
This place is really disappointing.
At this moment, the sharp face told us that there is another hidden place here, which is the tongue tomb!
The Honglu people are not particularly passionate about funeral culture. They have very few cemeteries. Although they like to build palaces underground, that is because many of their tribesmen like to live underground.
Among the Honglu people, only some very powerful figures can have tombs.
What we didn't expect was that these people from the valley Honglu actually had the so-called tongue tomb, which is their tongue, where the monster insects were buried after they died.
It seems that in their culture, these tongueworms have a high status, even higher than themselves.
Actually, when you think about it, these ancient people would have fear and worship for things that have power. These insects can even spit out strong acids and corrode hard rocks, so they will naturally have a worship of this thing.
In the eyes of these indigenous people, this tongue tomb is like a holy land.
Those who own the Warriors bracelet have the power to take people to the tongue tomb.
"Take us to see!"
Wang Jin and I looked at each other and saw the strong interest in each other's eyes. The Honglu people's cemeteries often contain secrets, and even the cemeteries of the tongue should not disappoint us.
Since I had this warrior necklace, Sharp face nodded and led us to the depths of our residence.
Soon, he took us to a black floor similar to a spire. Could this spire be the so-called tongue tomb?
Are there many boxes containing corpses of monster insects?
I soon knew that I was wrong. After walking in, I realized that although the spire was built into the shape of a tower, there was only one floor inside. After entering, we could see that the top of the house was solid.
However, the top of the house is not smooth, but it is very bumpy and irregular, very similar to the caves outside.
"I understand how the underground environment was formed!"
Li Xin suddenly thought of something and started yelling. She was excited and her chest was filled with waves.
After all, although Li Xin has that cute face, her breasts are really big. Among so many women I have seen, she is ranked among the top, comparable to those native women with racial advantages.
I was imagining this, but Li Xin seriously discussed academic issues.
She said that the underground here is hot and dry, not the Coster landform at all, and the rocks are also very strong, so why do they show that the surface of the rock is often corroded?
This is because of those tongueworms!
These tongueworms will secrete strong acids regularly in their bodies. The natives will release the tongueworms from their mouths according to time, and then let them spit out the strong acids, otherwise they will be left in their mouths and will hurt them.
So over the years, the landforms near the valley have undergone tremendous changes.
What Li Xin said makes sense, but compared to academic issues, I still like her figure...
At this moment, the pointed-faced man walked to the corner of the black tower room, opened a wooden lid, and a staircase appeared under the lid.
It turned out that this tongue tomb was actually built underground.
We followed the pointed-faced man and soon arrived at a somewhat flat underground space where there were dense black stone coffins placed in countless numbers, but each coffin was very small, the size of a palm.
We were not very interested in the corpses of these insects. Instead, some of the very ancient murals in this tomb have attracted the attention of Wang Jin and me!
Because the time left behind these murals is too long, many of the pictures are already very blurred, and some are even invisible. However, we still find very important information from the only remaining pictures!
This mural tells the origin of these people from the valley Honglu!
In ancient times, when a war broke out between Lu and Huang, the God King Lu made a decision to let many of his tribes migrate to the north, in order to preserve his own vitality. Even if he fails, he can make a comeback again.
However, Lu's actions were discovered by Huang.
Although the migrating troops were basically at the rear of Lu, Huang still thought of a solution. A team sent out in a very difficult manner, namely the tongue witches and people from other tribes, went to intercept and strangle those migrant people.
And their Gu Honglu people are the descendants of those strangled and migrated troops.
Moreover, in order to commemorate the ancestors and let the descendants not forget their roots, they also tell the origin of the tongue witch in this mural!
The origin of this tongue witch is just like the dwarf queen, which makes us all dazed!
According to the records in the murals, the battle between the God King Lu and Huang was very stalemate. In Lu's army, a monster that was as powerful as a cow and invulnerable as a sword appeared. Although it looked human on the surface, it had a cow's tail and a yellow headscarf on its head.
In order to deal with this "Yellow Turban Strongman", Huang came up with a solution, which was to let one of his tribes accept the grace of the gods and obtain the power of his tongue.
So the tongue witch was born.
I am not surprised by the "Yellow Turban Strongman" with the oxtail. You should know that since monsters like Snake Man exist, it is nothing to have an oxtail.
However, was the tongue witch born because of the grace of God?
Why is it another God’s grace? What is God’s grace?
It is said that the history before the Xia Dynasty was a myth. Now I think this is really good. The oxtail man, tongue witch and other things, whether in the eyes of ancient people or modern people, are really similar to myths.
However, I think these so-called "myths" are not entirely fictional, and there are horrible secrets that we cannot imagine behind them.
I have a intuition that this so-called "God's grace" is definitely not a gift from "God" in the modern sense, but something very terrifying...
