The snow was very slippery, Xiangyu and I didn't wear snow boots, and the snow-capped mountains were very steep, so we walked very slowly.
"Zhou Cang, do you think it's a little strange? The snow here is so thick, but the temperature is not very low. It feels a little abnormal." Xiangyu said to me while rubbing his hands and breathing.
"Is it because we have been walking, so the body temperature is relatively high, so we can't feel the cold?" I said, and I felt that it was not as cold as usual when it snows.
"Zhou Cang, I think things may not be that simple, so we'd better be careful," Xiangyu said.
"By the way, Xiangyu, do you still have that bone flute with you?" I asked.
"Yes, I never leave this bone flute." Xiangyu said, taking the bone flute out of the backpack behind him and shaking it in front of my eyes.
"You can help me feel more at ease. At least wait for a while. If you encounter any beast, you can deal with it." I said.
"However, I don't know if they are still within the scope of Shentang Bay. If they are not here, then I don't know if I can command them." Xiangyu said.
"That's right. Let's take it one step at a time. It's all right to be careful. Look around us. It's so quiet. It feels like there's not a single living thing around us." I said.
"Yes, this feeling is very much like the sanatorium at the foot of Sangpu Mountain." Xiangyu took my words and said.
"By the way, Xiangyu, do you Yufu tribesmen know how to play the bone flute?"
I asked. Seeing Xiangyu struggling to climb, I hesitated for a moment, stretched out my hand, and motioned for her to hold my hand and climb up.
Xiangyu looked at me, smiled, and held my hand tightly without hesitation.
"Zhou Cang, thank you." Xiangyu held my hand, walked behind me, and said softly.
"It's okay. We are in the same team and we should support each other." I hurriedly cleared the relationship to avoid any misunderstanding with her. "By the way, you haven't answered the question just now.
And me."
"How is it possible that every member of the Yufu Clan uses a flute to command animals? Not to mention that this bone flute only has one bone flute. Even this music score is a top secret of the Yufu Clan and is not a direct descendant of the family.
, it is impossible to come into contact with it, let alone play it." Xiangyu said, while holding my hand.
It turns out that the Yufu tribe has only one bone flute, so where did the bone flute in Chen Mo's hand come from? It could have been fished out from the bottom of the Laoye Temple waters of Poyang Lake.
However, even if he once brought out a bone flute similar to that of the Yufu tribe from the bottom of Poyang Lake, how did she learn to play these music?
"Xiangyu, is there only one flute song of the Yufu tribe?" I continued to ask.
"Definitely not. Every animal will have a flute song specifically for them. Otherwise, all animals share the same tune. Then when the flute sounds, wouldn't all animals be hypnotized?" Xiang
Jade said with a smile.
So, unless Chen Mo said that he stole the music score of the Yufu tribe, where did his unique skill come from?
"Zhou Cang, why are you suddenly so interested in this skill of the Yufu tribe? If you want to learn it, it is not impossible given your current status. Although you are not a member of the Yufu tribe,
But you are probably the patriarch of the eight major Xingpan families. I think the patriarch should have great power. It shouldn’t be that difficult to learn the skills of one of the subordinate families." Xiangyu said half-jokingly.
"What a big patriarch, do you even believe that rhetoric?" I said.
"Of course I believe it. I grew up under the family system, so the clan has a deep-rooted influence on me."
Hearing Xiangyu say this, I suddenly thought that she was also someone who knew how to play the flute. Would that prove that her status in the Yufu tribe was not low, so I asked: "Xiangyu, you
If you have a bone flute, you can also play the flute. Could it be that you are also the leader of the Yufu tribe?"
After Xiangyu heard what I said, he smiled, and then said: "Yes! Our teammates should all know it, but you are more late-minded, so you never noticed it."
"Ah, that's actually the case." I said a little surprised.
"Zhou Cang, maybe you already know that among the eight major families, only the Xu family's patriarchs are women, and the patriarchs of other families are all men." Xiangyu gasped slightly as he spoke.
The altitude here is already a bit high, so we can all clearly feel that there is not enough oxygen in the air.
"Yes, I already know this. Isn't it true?" I was already slightly out of breath.
"No, that's actually the case, but there are exceptions," Xiangyu said.
"What are the exceptions?" I asked. I couldn't help but stop, and then I looked at Xiangyu and asked.
I don’t know why, but I vaguely felt that what Xiang Yu said next might be important.
"The exception is that every time when the big sacrifice comes, a pair of male twins will appear in the last branch of the Xu family, and female twins will appear in the other seven corresponding families." Xiangyu said.
When we got here, we suddenly stopped.
"You mean you are one of the female twins?" I asked.
"Yeah," Xiangyu nodded towards me.
"So, you are the only one who has been with me, right?" I asked doubtfully. After all, the twins look exactly the same, and I was fooled by those photos of Zhou Lan before, so I am very sensitive now.
"Yes, I must be the only one, because my sister was drowned when she was born. This is the clan rule of the Yufu clan." Xiangyu said, there was no wave on his face, it felt like
I have already accepted this clan rule in my bones.
"Xiangyu, why, I don't understand." I said.
"Because I am afraid that the other twin who does not have the blood of the patriarch will use his appearance to do other things." Xiangyu replied.
"The bloodline of the patriarch, two newborn babies, how can you judge which one has the bloodline of the patriarch?" I asked.
"Because like you, I am a child born to my own mother after thirteen months of pregnancy." Xiangyu said.
He must have been born into the Xu family, otherwise, Zhou Lan would not exist now.
I was secretly glad in my heart.
But I still feel that the reason for drowning the ten-month-old child may not be as simple as Xiangyu said.
"Xiangyu, since you are like me, a child born to your mother after thirteen months of pregnancy, and you are also the heir to the Yufu tribe's clan chief. In ancient times, you were also a participant in the great festival. Doesn't this mean that,
Can you also see or enter places that no one else can enter?" I asked.
"We can, but we must be under your leadership. In other words, only you can discover these places, and we can only enter these places if we are with you," Xiangyu replied.
"What kind of weird logic is this? Is it just because I have the blood of the Xu family in my body?" I said to myself.
"It's not the Xu family, it's the Sirius people." Xiangyu suddenly approached me and said in a very low voice.
Her words made me take a few steps back involuntarily.
Although what I have experienced along the way has made me mentally prepared that my identity may not be that simple, it is still difficult for me as a living earthling to be suddenly told that I have alien genes.
accept.
And the key point is that the Sirians we know so far are basically human-headed and snake-bodied. I really can’t imagine what I would do if I became like this one day.
"Zhou Cang, look, the thing in front that looks a bit like a house is the armadillo's bone armor we saw at the foot of the mountain?" Suddenly, Xiang Yu's words interrupted my thoughts.
.
I raised my head and squinted my eyes to see that there was indeed a house covered in heavy snow in front of me.
