A ray of morning light cuts through the night sky, and the dark red light falls on the human body, giving people a warm feeling.
The sounds of birds, animals and insects were heard all around, and the faint scent of vegetation and flowers could be smelled at the tip of the nose.
The air humidity and sunshine environment here are like a scene in a paradise.
It gives people the feeling of being in a holy land.
certainly!
It would be even more appropriate if there weren't those strange and ghostly looking "human pigs".
Grandma Ka slowly walked out of the cave, still with the old dog beside her.
But although the big yellow dog is old, he is very energetic, and his pair of red eyes are even more enchanting.
Obviously, the big yellow dog in front of me has also been transformed by Granny Ka.
"You don't have much time, come with me..."
Maybe it was because she had too many long conversations yesterday that Granny Ka seemed to talk less today.
The three of us followed Granny Ka with heavy backpacks on our backs.
Originally we thought she would take us to the ruined village.
Who would have thought that she would walk in the opposite direction and disappear into the forest behind us.
Granny Ka seems to be walking very slowly, but the frequency of her steps is not slow.
The big yellow dog was always wagging its tail behind Granny Ka, and from time to time it turned its head and barked at us.
Li Dabao seemed to have forgotten what happened yesterday, and followed me and whispered softly.
"Damn it, a beast dares to bare its teeth at me, Mr. Bao. I will teach it a lesson when I get the chance."
I wanted to stop Li Dabao from complaining, but when I looked up, I saw that Granny Ka had no intention of stopping.
Then he replied in a low voice: "Li Dabao, do you really remember to eat and not to fight?"
"This is Granny Ka's treasure. I don't know if she heard it. Be careful of trying to get something from you. When the time comes, I won't be able to help you even if I want to plead for mercy."
In response, Li Dabao curled his lips indifferently and said: "I said, Chen Jiuri, what's wrong? You two are having a good time, right? Why did you throw your elbow out when you hit it?"
"My dear, I just told you, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Granny Ka, who had been walking in front of her, stopped.
What appeared in front of us was an artificially carved stone door.
There is a relief sculpture of a ferocious beast totem on the stone gate. The stone gate is about three meters high and four meters wide.
The stone door is surrounded by green branches and vines, and most of them have even grown along the gaps in the stone door.
I stepped forward and said, "Mother-in-law, why did you bring us here...?"
Granny Ka didn't look at me, but walked to the stone gate, aimed at one of the beast heads and pushed it.
The stone door made a creaking, creaking, creaking sound, and then a gap opened.
"This is the ancestral land of our Sanmiao Village. You are going into the mountains. See for yourself what is suitable for you. Take some and take them out. This is the last reward I will give you!"
"Also, this time you enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains. If you find the remains of our ancestors, please help find a double-sided ancient mirror. That is very important to us."
I asked my mother-in-law what the double-sided ancient mirror looked like and what it did.
Grandma Ka said: "I'm not sure whether that ancient mirror really exists, because as long as you see it, you will know. As for the function of the ancient mirror, it is used to treat the chronic diseases of our people."
"Of course, if you really want to completely cure the closed door of my tribe, then relying on an ancient mirror is totally not enough, but asking too much is asking a bit too much of you."
"After you go in this time, I need you to help me draw a map to facilitate our future entry. Even if we die, we should die in our ancestral land. We are still people there."
I readily agreed to all of Granny Ka's requests. When I agreed, I also asked Granny Ka whether we should have a direction since the Hundred Thousand Mountains are so vast.
In fact, I wanted to ask Granny Ka directly if there was any map or something so that we could use it as a reference.
But after thinking about it, this mother-in-law asked us to draw a map for her. This thing must be gone.
So there was no need to be stupid and just ask for it.
After listening to my question, Granny Ka stretched out her hand and said, "Yesterday you said you were carrying the black nails that sealed the corpses of the Seventh Son. Take it out and show it to me."
Hearing this, I immediately took out the white jade box from my big backpack. After opening the box, the long black nail lay quietly there.
Grandma Ka stretched out her hand to take it, but I stopped her and said, "Grandma, these black nails are poisonous, don't take them with bare hands!"
But when the voice fell, Granny Ka had already held the black nail in her hand.
At the same time, he said: "The poison is only for you, this black nail is very strange."
After Granny Ka finished speaking, she started moving her hands up and down on the black nail.
In the end, even his brows furrowed.
After a while, he put the black nail back into the white jade box, and then said: "The material of this black nail is a bit strange. It contains black stone, lightning strike wood, and some ingredients that I can't see."
"But one thing is relatively certain. According to our legend, the material black stone can only be found in the Dahei Mountain of Shiwan Mountain."
"The Great Black Mountain is located deep in the Shiwanda Mountain. It exudes a black air all the year round. It is said that the black air is poisonous. Anyone who smells it will be ripped apart and die violently. It belongs to the place where the owner of one of the twelve caves is located. "
"As for the direction, it should be roughly south-southwest..."
At this point, Granny Ka changed the subject and said: "You still have half a stick of incense left. After you go out, I will let Dahuang help you lead the way."
After saying this, Grandma Ka stopped talking, but stood aside and looked at us quietly.
It was also at this time that I had time to observe the scene inside the cave.
The entire cave is not big and has a ladder-shaped structure. Some grooves have been dug out on the surrounding walls to store some ancient books from Sanmiao Village, bamboo slips, and some strange-shaped things.
I even saw what was obviously a child's skull placed in one of the niches.
In addition, there are some wooden shelves. Although some of the wood has decayed, its material is made of fine small-leaf red sandalwood and diamond tree.
But Li Dabao had already gotten into the innermost place, and he still started rummaging around, completely without any image.
While rummaging through it, he muttered: "It's all a pile of junk. Are there any big guys? Didn't they say that the Vietnamese came in? Why are there no submachine guns or machine guns?"
"If it doesn't work, you can get some grenades...!"
When I heard this, I felt a little ashamed. This was someone's secret place. How could they put those things?
But after hearing this, Grandma Ka said: "We don't have the scrap metal you mentioned here, but if you talk about a mortar, I really have one here, or there are mines, but the leads and everything are broken."
"In the valley near the cave, there is a garbage dump. If you want, you can go there and rummage..."
When Li Dabao heard this, his head immediately dropped.
Said: "Yes, that kind of thing is not easy to preserve. If you still put it outside, exposed to wind and sun, it will probably rot away long ago, that's all."
As he spoke, he casually took off a hexagonal bronze bell pendant from a niche and said, "This bell looks good, just take it as a souvenir."
Grandma Ka glanced at her and said nothing, but looked at me.
"Don't you choose, little doll?"
I smiled lightly and said: "Mother-in-law, I don't know what I should choose. Let me see first..."
Grandma Ka smiled at me and said, "If you really don't know what to choose, let me pick one for you."
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and took down an ordinary-looking wooden box from one of the bookshelves.
After opening the box, there was an ancient book lying inside that was already a bit tattered and yellowed to a very serious degree.
In the upper right corner of this ancient book, there are two small characters in seal script.
Witch.........Dian...!
