This bronze tree is located in the middle of the entire tomb. The area of ​​this tomb is not small, but because the diameter of the tree is at least four or five meters, like a tall wall, you cannot see the complete appearance of the tomb, you can only see to part.

On the side where we came in, there were some buried bottles and jars on the ground, as well as human-headed stone figurines everywhere, all staggered here and there, and many of them were broken.

The little brother took me a short distance inside and stopped at a place with relatively few bronze branches. The little brother pushed aside the branches and looked at the human-faced double-body snake totem on the trunk. By now, the fat man had also walked out of the cave entrance. Came down and came over after a while.

The little brother looked at the pattern on the tree, looked at the ravines, then looked at the branches, and said: "Look, girl, there are things like bayonet bleeding troughs under these branches, which lead to the twin snake road. This The branches must also have a function in the altar, and it seems that they are indeed sacrificial vessels used for blood sacrifices."

The fat man looked at it and said "Ouch": "Such a big tree, a blood sacrifice, how much blood will it cost?"

The little brother sighed and continued to lead me inside. Not far into the room, I saw a plush body on the ground.

A closer look revealed that it was the corpse of a golden-haired masked monkey. The corpse had dried up. Its body seemed to have some kind of skin disease. Its fur was gray-white, and most of its hair had fallen off. The hairless skin was no different from that of human beings. The skin is somewhat similar, with very obvious lesions.

The fat man looked at the mask and asked the little brother curiously: "What kind of chigus is this? This mask looks like it has been burned into the flesh. It has grown directly with the face. There is not even a seam or a hole. What do you think it is?" How can you eat while breathing?”

The little brother reached out and pinched the mask bug, pulled it out in one go, and turned it over to show the fat man.The face of the mummy was extremely ferocious, with only two black eye sockets left in the shriveled eyes. The mouth was opened incredibly wide, revealing incomplete teeth, and the entire face was deformed due to dehydration.

The fat man looked at it and grinned, "Oh," and said, "That's disgusting." I shrank directly to the little brother and turned my face to the little brother.

As soon as the fat man saw my appearance, he smiled and said to me: "Look at how timid you are, you are scared again." Then he took the mask and looked at it.

I quietly watched him playing with the mask. The mask looked like it was made of stone. It was polished like porcelain and was extremely smooth. The pattern on it was also a human-faced double-bodied snake. Behind the mask, at the position of the mouth, there was a fist. The large and small spiral bulge was like a snail shell with a small hole on it. The fat man used a knife to pry hard, and the snail shell shattered with a "click", revealing a piece of something similar to a crab's leg inside, which he pulled out. At first glance, it was a bug that I had never seen before. It had become fossilized and would break into several pieces with a little force.Said: "This is the gadget."

The little brother said: "This should be an ancient insect from the Western Zhou Dynasty. It seems that there is only half of the insect, and the other half is still inside the mummy."

The fat man frowned, curled his lips and looked into the mummy's mouth. In the big black mouth, there was another half of a worm attached to the tongue. The worm body had been inserted into the throat of the corpse, and he didn't know it had entered. What organ.I couldn't help but sigh: "This little thing is too cruel. It's like being inserted into a ventilator. It makes you feel uncomfortable just looking at it."

The little brother said calmly: "I don't know how many of these bugs there are here. It's hard to get rid of Chi Gu. This one is dead, but if it is alive, I think if it is attached, it will not be so simple. Bullshit Something happened down here, we have to be careful."

We followed us carefully around the bronze tree and walked into the other half of the tomb. The first thing we saw were a few stone platforms with some burial objects on them, but there were nothing that the fat man took notice of. The fat man sighed when he saw them, which was very depressed.

There are many human-headed stone figurines on the ground, and they are also swaying here and there. There are quite a few of them. The bronze branches on this side are denser, almost as thick as an arm.Looking further away, there seemed to be a big boxy guy. The fat man's eyes lit up when he saw it.

We walked up to it and saw that it was a huge coffin wrapped tightly with carvings from a giant dragon. The whole body was dark and faint. The fat man couldn't help but exclaimed: "This carving is so awesome, it looks like it's alive. It's such a miraculous craftsmanship." This posture should be the coffin of the leader of the She clan, so come on."

The little brother took me around the coffin, and finally we stopped in front of a ring similar to the one that opened the door just now. The little brother asked me to stand behind him, stretched out my hand to turn the disc, and there was another mix of gears and iron chains. There was a sound, and the feet began to vibrate, and some stones around were shaken down. The dragon carving on the coffin turned up, and the four walls turned down, revealing the coffin inside.

The little brother asked me to stand far away, and the fat man pulled me a few steps away. The little brother stared at the coffin, waved the black gold knife and opened the coffin lid. The coffin lid was flipped to the ground.The fat man pulled me over to take a look.

After walking in, the fat man looked at the corpse in the coffin with his mouth wide open. I kept hiding behind him. Seeing his exaggerated expression, I thought he was very scary, but he pulled me forward and said to me: "Oh, don't be afraid. It looks like a living thing. It's not scary at all. If you don't believe me, just look at it."

I looked forward tremblingly, and it was really hard to tell that it was a thousand-year-old corpse. The little brother remained silent. The fat man said in surprise: "This corpse is too fresh. Let me tell you, I have seen it before. A particularly well-preserved ancient corpse, but that was also because of the antiseptic medicinal materials and soaking in the coffin liquid. Now it seems that the time of death of this corpse was no more than two hours at most."

The little brother looked at the coffin and said, "Look here, there are pry marks. This is not the first time this coffin has been opened."

The fat man pointed at the corpse and said, "Look, with this outfit, he is obviously a Han Chinese. He couldn't be another dove occupying the magpie's nest. Then the original one wouldn't be lying nearby." I looked at it. I always felt that I had seen the people here before. I pulled my little brother and pointed at the corpse, then pointed at my eyes, and gestured for a small rectangular thing that could be opened. I understood it at a glance. The fat man looked at me confusedly and said, "What are you gesticulating like? Alas, the mute Zhang translated." He looked at the little brother again. The little brother ignored the fat man and looked at me and asked. He said, "Are you sure?" I nodded.

Then I gestured with the little brother again, pointed at the corpse, showed him the mouth shape, and said to him: "Bu Yanqi, young prince." The fat man still looked at us confused, and the little brother looked at me seriously. Asked me: "Do you want to say that this is the young prince that Wu Yanqi protects?" I winked at him to show that I was right.The younger brother looked at the tomb as if he was worried.

The fat man didn't understand what we were doing, so he looked at the corpse again. He stretched out his hand and poked it and said to us: "Hey, let me tell you, he is still warm, he can't really be alive. Then he walked towards the little brother and continued: "You said that the guy who didn't talk about riding came here and left his own people here. Why?" The little brother lowered his head and still just sighed.

At this moment, I was just about to walk towards my little brother when someone suddenly grabbed my arm. I was standing next to the coffin. I was so scared that I froze and my heart was in my throat. The question is I still couldn't speak... I quietly glanced at the person in the coffin. The person actually opened his eyes and was holding my arm with one hand.

The little brother looked up and saw something was wrong with me and ran over to hold me back. The man in the coffin actually sat up and looked straight at me, looking like a living person. The fat man looked at me and shouted: "I Damn! I'm alive." He quickly raised his knife and came over, and heard the person suddenly say: "You are, Miss Ziyan."

I was stunned. I looked at the little brother, who was holding me tightly. The man said, "Thank you very much for the medicine that day, so that I can live a few more years. I haven't thanked you yet. I didn't expect to see you again today." Come to the girl." He slowly let go of my hand, and the younger brother quickly pulled me to his side and asked, "You are talking about Glazed Pill." The man nodded and said, "Exactly."

The fat man had already come over and asked us: "What... is this situation? Why can I still talk?"

The man looked around, then at us, and asked, "What year is it now?"

The younger brother replied calmly: "It's been a thousand years since your time."

The fat man asked him: "Hey, who are you?"

The man sighed, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Thousands of years... nothing matters anymore. It doesn't matter who I am anymore..."

The younger brother asked him: "Where is the body of the leader of the She tribe?"

The man said: "The body has been burned. On the way to escape that day, I was already very ill. I couldn't find any medicine and was dying. The general couldn't bear to see me die like this. Although it may not be a good idea to overflow with evil spirits here, I finally decided to I was brought here and placed here by the miraculous creation of heaven and earth to prolong my life, but nothing matters now... I just didn’t expect that I would still be able to see my old friend after a thousand years." Then again. With a wry smile, he began to breathe quickly, coughed and even vomited blood. Finally, he said: "Miss Ziyan, thank you for saving my life. Please take care of yourself." After that, he died.After a while the body turned into ashes and scattered.

The fat man asked me with a confused look on his face: "Zi Yan? Who is it? Girl, he told you, right? Are you over 1000 years old?" I glared at him.

I just heard the boy next to me let out a long sigh and said calmly: "This person's life ended thousands of years ago, and so did mine." This sentence made my heart skip a beat. I looked at him hurriedly, and then Sad, distressed, a little angry, and a little tearful at the same time.

The fat man said hurriedly: "Oh, oh, oh, don't say that. Look, you are always scaring people. Look, you will make me cry. I tell you, don't say such nonsense again. You are making trouble." Yes, you can coax it yourself."

The little brother lowered his head and looked at me. I couldn't hold it any longer and burst into tears. He didn't expect that his simple words would make me collapse immediately, but seeing me crying so sadly, he held me in his arms with distress.The fat man reluctantly walked to the side and sat down, and said to him: "Fortunately, Xiao Tianzhen is not here, otherwise I would have cried so much for you. Hey, you are a piece of wood."

As a result, because of his words, I cried for half an hour, and then I was so tired that I fell asleep in his arms.

The fat man saw that I was asleep, so he came over quietly and whispered to the little brother: "The little girl is feeling better, eh." Then he sat next to the little brother and said softly: "I told you, you are a big person, you don't understand. , let me tell you, you are too important to this girl, this girl can't live without you, please speak calmly in the future, you will scare other children."

The little brother looked at me in his arms, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Silly girl." Although he didn't say it, he actually understood it in his heart.

Because of my breakdown, the three of us had to rest here for a while.
