"Xiao Wu is here, are you hungry? Is there some food here? Let's have a drink of water." Ye Shan pitied Xiao Wu and hurriedly met him.

Xiao Wu was covered in bruises. He did not follow the team. Along the way, he scraped his clothes into beggar's clothes with just the thorns in the mountains. The clothes were covered with blood, and the mud and water on his face looked like a desolate scavenger.

"Ye Shan, don't touch him, he is not a human!" Tang Wei whispered to remind his wife.

"Hmph! Are people always better than some people who pretend to be crazy and stupid? At least they don't have the intention to harm us?" Lan Caidie said disdainfully at him.

Mr. Ma whispered to Wushuang: "Shopkeeper, Huang Xian is interested in our goods. Do you have to be careful?"

"It doesn't matter. Once our losses are huge enough now, I think it should have been with me all the way, because I have the aura of a novice, let him follow me. No matter what he is, he can't live without leaving him here." Wushuang saw so many brothers dying in front of him with his own eyes, and now he cherishes everyone's life even more. Even if this is just a small yellow fairy, he can't bear to abandon it.

Everyone stepped into this mysterious black forest with heavy steps. Although it was just noon now, the dazzling sunshine above their heads could not seep down. The whole forest was gloomy and wet, and there were few traces of birds and beasts, making people feel that it was a forest of death.

As soon as they entered the forest, everyone immediately rushed to a sense of uneasiness. The mysterious black forest was surrounded by endless death. The trees were lush and no one had ever been involved for thousands of years, resulting in the growth of these trees being almost deformed. They stretched their branches endlessly, some formed a grimace on the trunk, and some stretched out two slender branches, and the branches were divided into five pieces like ghost claws. This was simply the entrance to hell. Everyone did not make a sound, followed closely behind the shopkeeper, and every step forward was careful and careful, for fear of disturbing the mysterious demons hidden in the black forest.

"My little master, have you noticed that it seems that every tree is engraved with a totem. Is this totem the text of a certain ethnic group?" Ma Erye pointed to the deep patterns on the trunk of an old tree beside him and said.

He didn't say that Wushuang hadn't noticed it yet, but after seeing it, he realized that, sure enough, there were many strange symbols, or totems engraved on the trunks of all nearby trees.

Wushuang said this should not be a text. These trees are all millennium-old trees. The bigger they grow, the more the patterns on the trunks will spread outwards. Therefore, the patterns we see now are no longer the first shapes to be carved.

Wushuang is not an artist and does not know any abstract concepts. He tried to restore the diffuse totem contour left on the bark in his brain, and finally formed a person's face in his brain. This should be the face of a woman, she was both cold and beautiful, as if she was an ice woman who fell into the mortal world.

Although the image formed in my mind is a bit abstract and may not be complete, one thing can be judged that this woman's face is definitely different from the fairy in the traditional belief of the Oriental people. Her nose bridge is slightly firm, like an Eastern European, her chin is very sharp and her eyes are slender, and she looks like a combination of West Asia and Central Asian races.

"Shopkeeper, should we go?" Seeing Wushuang standing under the tree in a daze, Ma Ershi hurriedly urged him, leaving less and less for them. Although according to the original plan, they could arrive at Panlong Village at sunset, the plan could not keep up with the change. God knows what dangers are hidden in this dark forest.

Wushuang waved his hand to his subordinates, signaling everyone to slow down and be alert. Then he took a sip of water and stepped into this mysterious black forest with everyone.

There were no birds and beasts in the forest, and there was no limit at a glance. Wherever you saw, there was darkness. Wushuang, Lan Caidian and Ma Erye were walking in the front.

While walking, he chatted with Mr. Ma in a low voice. He asked Mr. Ma if he had heard of an ancient legend.

"Second Master, I heard that you used to read ancient books, and you must have memorized them like the Mountains and Seas, right?"

"I don't dare to take it by memorizing it, but I still know more about the legends of ancient times. What do you want to ask? Did you find something abnormal from the strange totem left on the trunk just now?"

"It's not unusual. In ancient times, Pangu created the world on earth and our world was separated from that eternal chaos. Later, Nuwa repaired the sky and benefited the people of the world. Later, it was said that we Chinese were descendants of Yan and Huang, probably because of the origin of the two great tribal leaders, Yan and Huang, who were the first to record historical records."

Ma Erye said, yes, there is no doubt about this. There are fewer mentions about Yan Emperor in the Shanhai Jing. However, the latter Huangdi, known as the number one great man in our land of China, was that he flourished the civilization of the slave society and established stable tribal management. Huangdi's tribe was along the Yellow River, also known as the Yellow River civilization.

"Stop, I'm not asking about Huangdi. I've heard a saying before, that Huangdi is a god in the human world. At the same time, three gods were sent to the mortal world. However, the contributions made by the three gods in the human world are not as earth-shaking as Huangdi, and they may not leave any memories for human civilization. However, some folk legends still have their figures. They should be Chidi, Qingdi, and Baidi. They are stationed in four corners of our land of China and command the primitive tribes of their respective lands. Is this statement reliable?"

Mr. Ma turned around and looked at the team. Everyone else was walking, and few people were interested in their stories at this moment. Then he lit the old man's cigarette and said to the young master.

Ma Erye has a thorough study of the Mountain and Sea Classic. When people get older, they especially like these strange folk jokes. He said: "The information recorded in the Mountain and Sea Classic is very small. However, society is developing very quickly now. Archaeologists in our country have also unearthed many testimonies of human civilization tens of thousands of years ago across the country. Judging from the totems recorded in some unearthed pottery jars, the four directions of China are indeed unique. Different civilizations have reached the peak of primitive society in the same period. What I want to ask is that there is indeed a Baidi tribe in our northeast Changbai Mountain area. In ancient myths, it was rumored that this Baidi is the only woman among the four tribal leaders. She looks cold and beautiful, and she vomits wind and snow. Wherever she goes, she flies and is frozen. She is a real iceberg beauty."
