Chapter Thirty-One - Loess Village
I turned around and said to everyone: "The front is the territory of the Zari tribe. It is estimated that there may be some traces of the Zari tribe inside. Let's go over and take a look."
Everyone nodded, and then I walked towards the foot of Meishan Mountain, and a group of people began to walk slowly down the mountain.
By the time a group of people arrived at the foot of Meishan Mountain, the sky had gradually darkened.
The ground was originally pitch black, so everyone could only take out flashlights or headlamps and other lighting items.
Hu Dalong, Xu Tian, Li Kun and the four of us wore miner's lamps on our heads. I adjusted the brightness of the miner's lamp to the maximum, and then everyone looked up and looked forward.
It was pitch black ahead, and no one could see what was ahead even if the headlights illuminated it from a long distance.
But fortunately, everyone can still clearly see a huge willow tree in front of them.
Then everyone walked slowly towards the willow tree.
Just as we were heading towards the willow tree, a huge head suddenly popped out from the top of Meishan Mountain. This was the forest demon dragon.
The forest demon dragon looked up at us. After seeing everyone gradually walking away, the forest demon dragon raised its head and looked at the location of the willow tree.
Then the forest demon dragon roared low, as if he saw something in the willow tree.
Then the forest demon dragon slowly walked up from the coal mountain, and then started to follow us slowly.
There was a forest demon dragon following behind, which we never expected.
But even if everyone looked back, they couldn't see the body of the forest demon dragon.
Although the forest demon dragon is huge, its whole body is extremely dark.
With the dim sky, the huge body of the forest demon dragon has blended into the night.
Xu Tian walked beside me, turned to me and said, "Old Liu, do you think there are descendants of the Zari tribe still living here?"
I shook my head: "This possibility is very small. The environment here is too harsh compared to the forest outside. I don't think there is any river here. It is very difficult to survive here, and even if you walk into the forest outside,
You should also always be on guard against those blue-spotted Teng trees, as you can get hit by accident."
Xu Tian turned his head and looked at Cheng DaDa, who was walking behind, and suddenly thought of something in his mind.
Then Xu Tian said: "Is that bold token that you said is really the key to the Zari tribe's tomb? If it is true, doesn't it mean that there is some mechanism in the Zari tribe's tomb?
"
Hearing this, Gai Wancheng beside me also frowned, and then Gai Wancheng shook his head and said: "This possibility is very small. The Zari people were almost the same as primitive people at that time, so it is impossible.
What mechanism should be set up underground? Firstly, the environment here is harsh. The Zari people would never have thought that someone would be able to find the location of the Zari people’s tombs after a thousand years. Furthermore, they do not have that kind of technology. After all, this place is isolated from the world.
It is impossible for the Li people to understand that kind of mechanism technique."
Hearing this, Li Kun couldn't help but become a little confused, and then said: "I think there must be an agency down here."
Several of us turned to look at Li Kun, wondering why Li Kun said that.
Then Li Kun said: "Think about it, since the Zhali people can have such rare objects as the Fangtian Yuanzhu, it means that they must be in constant contact with the outside world. Maybe the Fangtian Yuanzhu is an object obtained by the Zhali people from the outside world, or it is
You can’t tell if it’s stolen.”
The first half of what Li Kun said was reasonable and well-founded, but the later it got to the end, the more unreasonable it became.
But Xu Tian raised his eyebrows and said, "What Lao Li said is actually very possible, I think."
Hearing what Xu Tian said, everyone let out a confused sound, and Gai Wancheng said: "Oh? Xiaotian, what do you think?"
Xu Tiandao: "Don't be too opinionated. Think about it, this square sky ball was specially paid tribute to the emperor by the ancient country in the Western Regions. But now, this square sky ball is not in the hands of the emperor, but has gone to the Zhali tribe.
So if I guess, it is possible that the Zhali tribe used some means to obtain this Square Sky Ball Pearl, or it was exchanged for it."
Xu Tian also wanted to tell everyone that Fang Tian Yuanzhu was stolen, but he probably changed his approach out of bravery.
Although Xu Tian said this, everyone understood what Xu Tian meant.
Then I nodded and said: "What you said is correct. After all, the Zhali people have nothing else to use except the Heart of the Holy Willow at that time. Maybe the Zhali people really got it from the emperor at that time."
In exchange for it."
When talking about the two words "exchange", I obviously put a little emphasis on these two words.
After listening to what I said, everyone nodded. The Heart of the Sacred Willow is so precious. How could it be exchanged with a small bead, let alone exchanged with the emperor? That would be a bit unbelievable.
But these are all speculations, and how the Zhali people obtained this square sky ball remains to be verified.
Now everyone's only purpose is to get the Fang Tian Yuan Pearl first.
But according to my estimation, there should be no burial objects such as gold and silver jewelry in the tombs of the Zhali people.
After all, for a primitive race living in the forest, gold and silver jewelry have no use except for looking good.
As they walked, everyone discussed the origin of Fang Tian Yuanzhu. After walking for more than half an hour, everyone stopped.
Li Kun pointed his hand in front of us and said: "We are here, there is indeed a village here."
At this time, everyone turned their heads and looked, and saw that there was really a mess in the distance.
All the buildings in the village are made of stones, and the surfaces of the stones are covered with a layer of yellow soil, covering the gaps in the stones one by one.
Each room has a wooden door, but many of the surfaces of these doors have been corroded.
The height of the house is a full five or six meters, which is comparable to the two-story small foreign-style buildings in the outside world.
There are probably no fewer than two hundred stone houses, and the whole village is surprisingly large.
But there are no longer those black cinders on the ground inside the village. There is a layer of yellow soil on the ground, which is much higher than where we are.
The whole village seems to be built on a huge pile of loess.
When I got closer, I saw that there was some loess on the ground, about two meters above the coal field.
It seems as if the loess was placed here specifically by the Zari people and then they built these houses on top of the loess.
I waved to everyone, and then I walked onto this solid and hard loess layer.
After walking on it, I couldn't help but lightly stamp my foot. The loess layer here has been stepped on very solidly, which is not much different from the rammed earth layer in the tomb.
It seems that the loess layer here became so hard and strong because it was trampled by the Zhali people every day.
After reaching the soil layer, I raised my eyes and looked ahead.
We saw a yellow dirt road in front of us, with some large and small stone houses on both sides.
The doors of some houses were still open. When everyone shined their flashlights in, they could still see some wooden furniture, but most of them were corroded and rotten.
When looking at the huge wooden doors of each room, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
The doors of these houses all have one thing in common, that is, they are ridiculously big.
The lowest door of each room is more than three meters high, and the width is almost two meters high.
What's more, the height of the door alone has reached four meters, which looks surprisingly large.
The moment we saw these houses with such big doors, Xu Tian, Li Kun and the three of us looked at each other.
The three of them all saw looks of disbelief in each other's eyes.
Then Li Kun said: "Old Liu, do you feel that we have seen these houses before, but the styles are a little different."
I nodded and Xu Tian said: "The Ancient Golden Toad Clan."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. When they arrived, everyone had already heard Li Kun mention what happened in the tomb of the Jinchan Ancient Clan.
Although I have never been to such dangerous places, Li Kun's description is still fresh in my memory.
Then Gai Wancheng walked up to me and said, "Do you think this is actually the location of the ancient Golden Toad clan instead of the Zhali clan?"
Xu Tian and we were all frowning at this time. Looking at the tall buildings here, it instantly reminded us of the tall and burly ancient Jinchan tribe.
However, the entire Golden Toad Ancient Clan had already relocated back then, so it would be a bit unbelievable if they appeared here out of thin air.
Xu Tian turned his head and said to me: "Old Liu, I think this place does look like the ancient Golden Toad Clan. You see, every room here is surprisingly big. Even the stone bed inside the room is three or four meters tall." It’s very long and very similar to the tombs of the Golden Toad Ancient Clan we saw before.”
Li Kun clapped his hands, and then everyone turned to look at Li Kun. Li Kun said: "Do you think this Zari tribe is a branch of the ancient Golden Toad tribe? After all, the ancient Jin Toad tribe has a tall and burly body." It’s not something you can see everywhere.”
Hearing this, I was also shocked. If the Zhali tribe is really a branch of the Jinchan ancient tribe, then all this would make sense.
Then I said: "According to my guess, this place is very likely to be a branch of the Golden Toad Ancient Clan. I think what Lao Li said should be right."
With that said, I asked Cheng DaDa to take out the black token. After Cheng DaDa took out the token, Xu Tian, Li Kun and the three of us started studying it.
When we saw the other side of the token, the three of us suddenly exclaimed.
There is indeed a very small carving at the bottom of the token, which is obviously the six-clawed golden toad we saw before.
But what makes us a little confused is that the token is completely black, and even the six-clawed golden toad behind the token is also black.
Seeing this, Xu Tian said: "This should not be the golden six-clawed golden toad we have seen before. If it is really a six-clawed golden toad, this carving will not be so small, and it will definitely be given to it. If it's painted gold, it won't be this black."
