"Since all these Beifu soldiers were killed, how did you discover their secret room?"
Not only Song Siyuan was curious about this issue, but others had also noticed it. According to the old ghost woman, the Beifu soldiers and the Guifang people belonged to hostile camps. How could they know about the urn city built by the Beifu soldiers here.
The old ghost woman continued: "After the Beifu soldiers disappeared, the society of the Guifang people also deteriorated. This place was discovered by the elders of the Guifang clan and used to plot against the Tianpu God here. I am the child chosen by the clan elders. , of course I also know this place, but I did not collect these documents, they were found from the clan elder’s room, I just kept them.”
Song Siyuan pondered the old hag's words and continued to ask: "Have you ever seen the Heavenly Eye God?"
Just now, the old hag mentioned several times that Tianpu God has extremely powerful power. At the same time, they could also guess that Tianpu God was the giant they met. What she didn't understand was that as Tianpu God What has the giant become in the current era? After all, it has been almost 1,500 years since the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
For such a long time, could a creature with high intelligence and powerful power remain stuck in its ways? I'm afraid, it's already evolving.
The old ghost woman opened the box tremblingly, rummaged through the box for documents, took out a scroll from the bottom of the box, and handed it to Song Siyuan: "No matter how powerful the God of Heaven is, he still needs to eat. He kept the Ghost Fangren probably to replace him." He is looking for prey. If this were not the case, he could have made the Guifang people disappear like the Beifu soldiers, so why bother letting the Guifang people survive for thousands of years."
Song Siyuan opened the scroll. Inside was the Tianpu God drawn by the elder of the Guifang Clan. In the scroll, the image of the Tianpu God was no longer a human being, but a huge human brain.
The overall image is as if the skin, muscles, fascia, blood vessels, and meridians of the human head have been completely peeled off, leaving only a white skeleton. At the same time, the skull is peeled off from the hairline and appears on the top of the head. A semicircular gap looks like a cracked walnut, and the red and white brain can be seen beating slightly in the skull.
However, there are no longer any organs in the eyes, mouth and nose of the skeleton. There are many vines extending out like an octopus. It can be seen that mycelial flowers and exotic flowers and plants are intertwined from the vines. These vines eventually Turning into moss and lichen, covering the ground around the head, countless vines formed a dense spider web, connected to the twelve slightly curved ghost bones around it.
Looking at this picture alone, it is difficult to connect this mass with a giant. However, the huge skull head at least proves that this head belongs to a giant.
"The giant only has his head left, can he still be alive?"
In this picture scroll, the giant's body is no longer visible, only the head is still in place. Putting aside the weird situation of the head, it is already a strange thing to say that the head can exist without the body.
The old ghost woman retorted: "It's not that there is no body, but that the body was destroyed by the Beifu soldiers. Before they destroyed it, the body had already turned into a grass and tree structure. When they took away the Tianpu God, they only took away the head. Place it in the tomb."
"This is strange. How can a giant still be alive if only his head is left?"
Yue Guanchao was quite puzzled by this. This was not an animal whose limbs had been regenerated. No matter how big or weird the giant was, it could still be considered a human being. This was not counting the head that could no longer be classified as a human head. If it really matched the picture Generally, this is a bit too weird.
The old hag shook her head: "I don't know about this at all. When the Guifang people found the Tianpu God, they were just dying giants. We can't figure out why after thousands of years of worship, they have formed such a weird look. Maybe, It’s possible that the God of Heavenly Eyes himself is some kind of monster.”
"What do you want to do in the ghost world?"
The old hag is not stupid. She listened all the way and saw the people in front of her talking about giants, mycelium flower trees, Beifu soldiers, and Liu Yu's Beifu tomb. She already knew that the origin of these heat was not simple.
Yue Guanchao said casually: "Didn't we tell you that we are here to look for Liu Yu's tomb?"
The old hag shook her head meaningfully: "No, your purpose is not just to find Liu Yu's tomb. If you are really looking for Liu Yu's tomb, you should have shown regret when you heard me say that the tomb is not here. From now on, you will not only Without any expression, he continued to inquire about the origin of the God of Heaven’s Eyes, and he was clearly here for the God of Heaven’s Eyes.”
"It's amazing, you can even notice it!"
Yue Guanchao echoed several times.
"You are also here to look for the God of Heaven's Eyes, right? The God of Heaven's Eyes should have what you need, right?" The old ghost woman's eyes became cunning, and her eyes revealed that she had guessed what they were thinking: "Is it the fish talisman? Or twelve soul-destroying ghost bones?”
"Both!"
Guifang Zong is no longer hiding her. Anyway, she is the only old hag left in Guifang world, and she was caught by them again. She probably won't be able to cause any big troubles.
Knowing that her guess was right, the old ghost woman already knew it in her eyes and waved her hands towards them: "For the sake of you giving me nothing more than meat pie, I can only advise you to go back quickly. Those Beifu soldiers are not Tiantong." The dozen of you who are God’s opponents will die in vain if you go.”
"Old lady, didn't you say that we were cursed by the Heavenly Eye God and couldn't get out? Why are you trying to persuade them to go back now?"
Yue Guanchao rolled his eyes and realized that the old hag still had something to hide from them.
The old hag took a long breath: "Just now, I thought you were bad people, and I deliberately scared you to escape. Now, I can't tell you what you did, but people are indeed not bad. The ghost world is like a maze and an ant nest. There are countless people who can come in. There are only a few who actually find the ghost world. As for those who go out, there are even fewer people. No matter what your purpose is for coming here, if you really want to go back unscathed, just listen to me and go home. "
Yue Guanchao continued to talk, at least clarifying the matter about the Twelve Soul-Capturing Bones first: "That won't work. We haven't got the fish talisman we are looking for yet. Old woman, you didn't mean to say that just because you wanted to protect the Twelve Soul-Capturing Bones. These words drive us away.”
These words made the old woman turn around and give them a meaningful look: "The Twelve Soul-Capturing Bones are the sharp weapons left by Guifang's ancestors. Rumor has it that the ancestors once used these Soul-Capturing Bones to create the Soul-Capturing Array, which will be used by Yin. Shang's team worshiped, which once frightened other surrounding tribes."
"But what now?"
The old hag changed the topic: "What becomes a ghost bone becomes a ghost bone. The ancestors used ghost bones to create a world completely different from the outside world. They originally wanted the people to hide in Shennongjia and integrate with the mountains and dense forests. But now, they want to I can’t even get out.”
Her tone became regretful and she sighed: "I'm afraid this is the fate created by Guifang people themselves, and no one can change it."
"What exactly is that ghost bone?"
Now that they have said it all, they have to ask clearly what ghost bones are. According to the old hag, the twelve soul-catching bones are still working now.
The old hag continued to fumble in the box, and took out another picture album from it and handed it to them. After Song Siyuan opened the picture scroll, the shape of the twelve soul-catching bones came into her eyes.
In the scroll, the shapes of the twelve soul-catching bones are exactly the same. The main body is a wedge-shaped cylinder, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The root forms a sharp nail shape.
The entire column is carved with small skulls. Starting from the sharp root, the further you go towards the column head, the clearer and more concave the relief skulls become.
At the top of the pillar, there is a skull head about the same size as a human head. It looks like the material is somewhere between stone and metal. Black holes are formed for the eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and light brown agate beads are embedded in the holes, forming protruding facial features.
Inside the opening of the mouth, you can see jagged ghost teeth protruding all over the mouth. The tiger teeth at the corners of the mouth are particularly prominent, as if an evil ghost is opening its mouth. Especially in the eye sockets, there is a bright light shining through the agate, which makes it look particularly ghostly.
On the forehead of this ghost bone, there is a circle of thorns, forming a crown around the head. Each thorn has a chain hanging by the ear and a bronze bell hanging from it.
The old hag took advantage of them to observe the soul-catching bones and slowly explained: "The real function of the twelve soul-catching bones is the skeleton at the head of the pillar. I heard the elders talk about the origin of the twelve soul-catching bones..."
The hometown of the Guifang people is located in the northwest of the Yin and Shang Dynasties!
The Guifang Ancient Kingdom existed long before Shang Tang destroyed Xia. At that time, the Guifang people had not yet gone south. Their territory was mainly concentrated on the grasslands north of the Yellow River. They were a nomadic people who lived by the water.
It was not until the end of the Xia Dynasty that the cold in the north intensified and no grass grew on the grassland. Seeing the deterioration of the climate, the people of Guifang moved south to survive and gradually came to live on the Shaanxi plateau. By the Shang Dynasty, Guifang's national power increased greatly, and Shanxi, Northeastern Shaanxi and central Mongolia are completely included. They are active on both sides of the Yellow River and have become a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural ethnic group.
They are invincible because of the twelve soul-catching bones that frightened the ancients. This thing comes from the vast prairie and the most mysterious North Sea.
What is Beihai?
During the Han Dynasty, Su Wu went to the Xiongnu with a jie yao in hand, but the Xiongnu tried to keep him and forcibly detained him. The Huns gave him gold and gems, fine wine and food, and high-ranking officials. Seeing that Su Wu was unmoved, they had no choice but to banish Su Wu to the grassland. The northernmost Hanhai is left to herd sheep to fend for itself.
The vast sea is the North Sea!
This is the earliest record of "Beihai" in the history books of the Han people. In the earlier Shang, Zhou and Pre-Qin eras, the Han people had never arrived here. Only the ancient Sushen people had crossed the forests and vast grasslands of the Xing'an Mountains to come to Beihai. This place has since become Beihaier Lake for the ancient Sushen people.
Rumor has it that Beihai is the land of the dead. It is the seat of the three major underworlds. The Beihai Underworld is responsible for attracting the souls of the north. There are stone masonry buildings in the sea. The twelve soul-catching bones are made of the same material. Stone.
