Li Yi was startled when he heard this, and then nodded quickly.
"That's quite consistent. As a blacksmith, you need to have quick eyesight and quick hands. Can you take me to see it? If there is any more."
When Li Yi said this, he didn't actually have much hope.
After all, that was something from ancient human times.
Even if we know what the totem looks like today, there probably won't be any ancient artifacts that have been handed down.
The reason why he asked this was just to facilitate his search for these legends from ancient times later. , and didn’t hold out much hope.
Unexpectedly, Heishan nodded naturally.
"Yes, there is a stone carving in our clan's ancestral land, which is said to have been handed down from ancient times."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
I don't know why, but compared to Li Yi, Yang Yu was more active this time.
"Are you going too? I remember that there is a time limit for returning after the mission is completed, right?"
Li Yi looked at Yang Yu.
"Um."
He nodded and suddenly showed a mysterious smile.
"Actually, my mission hasn't been completed yet."
"ha?"
Li Yi was puzzled.
"Didn't you kill the emperor?"
Since he came back so easily, it can be seen that the three terrifying existences are not there, otherwise he probably would not be able to come back.
Yang Yu shook his head.
"I didn't even see anyone at all."
"No one is here? Then you didn't want to wait and see?"
"I asked the palace maid inside, and she said she hadn't seen the emperor in person for a long time."
"..."
Li Yi was speechless.
It seems to be another example of a king who does not go to court early.
But when he thought that the actual controller of the empire was not the one sitting on the dragon throne, but the three brothers who were like gods, Li Yi suddenly felt that it was reasonable again.
Any normal person would never feel happy if he was treated as a puppet and allowed to be manipulated by others.
Then it is understandable that he is obsessed with singing and singing in the gentle countryside all day and night.
But Li Yi quickly thought of a flaw.
"If that's the case, why can't you go visit the harem?"
Yang Yu looked like I look like a fool.
"I've been there. The emperor is not in the palace at all. I don't know where he went. I asked everyone but no one knows."
Li Yi looked into his eyes.
"How did you ask?"
Yang Yu was a little confused.
"Just ask, put the knife on your neck, and say whatever you ask."
Yang Yu said something indifferently, leaving Li Yi speechless for a while.
Good guy, he broke into the forbidden area of the palace that threatened to lose its defensive power, and interrogated the emperor's whereabouts.
Even if he is a puppet emperor, I am afraid no one will say anything about it.
If the emperor is not dead and comes back safely, many people will die.
Shaking his head, he threw these irrelevant things behind him.
Yang Yu himself was not in a hurry, so what reason did he have to worry.
"Since you're not in a hurry, just do whatever you want."
After saying this, Li Yi pushed himself up and wanted to sit up, but suddenly he felt the world spinning, his vision went dark, and he passed out immediately.
The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, and both sighed.
It's not over yet, why doesn't this person listen?
...
Another half month passed in a flash.
During this period, Li Yi had been in an intermittent state of drowsiness. He would only occasionally see Heishan's busy figure. From time to time, there would be people in white clothes arguing with him, but in the end he would be persuaded by Heishan. .
And his body is recovering day by day.
Another month passed, and Li Yi finally woke up again.
This time he felt something different as soon as he woke up.
The original confusion was swept away, and my energy and energy were restored again. I tried to sit up, but found that there was no obstacle, and I didn't faint anymore.
Li Yi suddenly felt confident.
"Hey...so you guys are here!"
He stood up with all his strength, and after moving for a while, the door was pushed open.
It's Yang Yu.
"Are you awake? Hey, you seem to be in good spirits. It seems that you have recovered. Congratulations."
Yang Yu was carrying a lot of things and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Li Yi waking up.
After putting the things away, he couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect you to recover so quickly. I'm afraid you don't know that your servant has been helping you treat your injuries day and night these days."
"Treat the injury? Montenegro?"
Li Yi was puzzled.
Did he clearly remember that Heishan was not the one who forged artifacts?
Could he still have medical skills?
"Otherwise, who else would be there? Your injuries are so weird that the doctors can't see anything at all. I've even called the best doctors on the black market and they can't find anything wrong with you, but your body is getting weaker day by day. "
"Until Montenegro comes back."
"Wait a minute, you mean come back? Where did he go?"
Li Yi waved his hand to interrupt Yang Yu's words, and at the same time took stock of his own condition.
Very good, basically no problem can be seen.
He also knew very well that he would not faint easily.
So what happened during this period?
And where did Montenegro go?
"I went to my ancestral land and brought back something."
Just when Yang Yu was about to speak, they were pushed away.
It's Montenegro.
He was holding something like a picture frame in his hand. It was wrapped in paper and could not be distinguished, but just by looking at his careful look, you knew that this thing should be somewhat famous.
"You went to the ancestral land?"
Hearing what he said, Li Yi suddenly remembered the ancient totem he had mentioned before, and suddenly had a feeling.
"The totem of your clan?"
Heishan didn't say anything, but closed and locked the doors and windows first, and then carefully placed the picture frame in his hand on the table.
Then the paper on the surface was peeled away bit by bit, gradually revealing the true face of the frame.
It's not so much a frame as it is a well-preserved rubbing.
The stone carvings give people a feeling that they look very ancient, and in fact they are.
"This is a copy of the totem rubbing collected by our clan. I tried to get the original one, but unfortunately I failed."
Li Yi nodded, not understanding the meaning of his words for the time being, but focused on the rubbing itself.
This is a rubbing with a very distinctive style. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is very old.
Simple and simple, its meaning can be understood at a glance.
The painting depicts a scene of ancient humans hunting.
On the left side of the painting is a human being with an obviously stronger physique, who seems to be the leader of an ancient tribe.
The leader in the painting is pulling hard on the harvested prey, and some of the tribe members on the side are shouting and cheering.
Others were sharpening their knives and making fires.
This is obviously a scene of a tribal tooth beating ceremony after a hunt.
It seems normal, just a picture depicting the daily life of ancient humans.
But when Li Yi saw the hunted prey, he discovered something unusual.
"When you say totem, don't you mean this thing?"
Li Yi pointed at the tightly tied "prey".
Out of curiosity, Yang Yu on the side also came up to take a look and couldn't help shouting.
"I'll blanch it! Is this an... eyeball?"
Just as Yang Yu said.
The "prey" hunted by the ancients in the painting is indeed an eyeball that is extremely large in proportion.
Judging from the proportions in the painting, he is probably about the same height as the tall man who is suspected to be the leader of the tribe.
Of course this is not the most surprising thing.
What makes people feel chilling is that the surrounding area of the giant eye is covered with densely packed tentacles. Looking at the proportion, each tentacle is about the size of a human finger.
These tentacles are obviously alive, or the giant eye is still alive.
Although the man in the picture is tall and strong, he tried his best and could only barely hold on to the giant eye to prevent it from escaping.
And if you look carefully at the actions of the remaining group of people, you can't help but feel frightened.
"Are these people..."
Li Yi hesitated and looked at Heishan.
Nodding, Heishan said expressionlessly.
"I just said, this is prey."
“Since it’s prey, it’s natural to eat it!”
Blanch!
