The cave was shrouded in a hazy light. When the two walked in, the scenery in front of them changed drastically. There was actually another world in the cave.
Although the weather in southern Xinjiang today is humid and there are many poisonous insects and beasts, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but the world in front of us is corrupt and full of poisonous gases. Even the sun has lost its brilliance and has become much dim.
There are mostly dead branches and leaves in the mountain forest, and all kinds of terrifyingly large insects shuttle through the forest, while the river is filled with black water.
Hidden in a corner of the mountain forest was a skinny old man with cracked lips and two children, a boy and a girl. The old man carefully observed the surroundings behind a tree for any danger. After sensing that it was safe, he hurried towards the river.
Obviously, the old man had been thirsty for a long time. He didn't even care about the ink-like color of the river. He took a handful of it with both hands and drank heavily. He even drank too much and lay down by the water to drink like a beast.
After a hearty drink, the old man looked satisfied, and filled the animal skin bag with water to let his grandchildren, who were also thirsty, drink some.
But the old man turned around and fell straight to the ground without taking more than two steps. Then his body twitched, and yellow thick sores continued to grow on his body.
These thick sores grew very quickly until they completely collapsed, and white insects crawled out of the thick sores.
These bugs parasitized the old man, and from the beginning they only absorbed life and nutrients. The originally skinny old man let out a cry of pain, and the two children hugged each other and hid behind the tree and cried.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Jiang Yan was ready to help, but when he realized that he seemed to be just an outsider, his power could not affect this strange world at all.
The bugs in the thick sores began to absorb flesh and blood after absorbing their vitality. The tiny bugs actually made a gobbling sound, and turned into a withered skeleton in just a short moment.
Without anything to absorb, these bugs left the dead bones, and even some white bugs emerged from the bones.
"What a cruel monster..." Jiang Yan said.
"The marrow-eating worm was one of the cruelest creatures in the Hundred Thousand Mountains more than two thousand years ago.
The larvae eggs are so tiny that they are difficult to see with the naked eye, and even practitioners find it difficult to detect their existence. However, they reproduce very quickly, and anyone who is parasitized by them will be knocked to the bone and suck the marrow.
The Ministry of Li records that hundreds of thousands of people died due to marrow-eating insects. Fortunately, this evil insect disappeared more than two thousand years ago. Although some people have also refined marrow-eating Gu, they are far less scary than the evil insects." Li Meng's expression
whitish.
After these pulp-eating worms sucked up every bit of flesh and blood, they finally crawled into the water in droves.
Two children in the forest buried the old man. The boy took out a lizard from his arms and cut open the lizard's body with a knife. The girl drank the blood flowing from the wound with her mouth, and the boy did the same until the flesh and blood were eaten.
Don't stop until the last drop of blood is drained.
As outsiders, Jiang Yan and Li Meng could only watch.
Although I don’t know what time it is, I can guess that it is Shiwandashan. At this time, Shiwandashan is the most ferocious place in the world. People have become food for all kinds of ferocious beasts, and they have to face all kinds of poisonous things.
of food and water.
The two people watched the boy and girl grow up. The two grew up in the poor mountains and rivers, but they became more and more prosperous. The woman stood slim and lean in the mountains and picked wild fruits for food. The man became stronger and could occasionally hunt some less threatening things.
of prey.
As for water sources, the blood of prey is the cleanest source of water.
It is extremely difficult to survive in such a difficult environment, so men and women practice hard to survive every day.
In the past ten years, the originally small number of clan members has only reduced to a mere hundred.
On this day, a peak in the center of the Shiwan Mountains, which was in danger every time, burst out with dazzling light, one black and one white intertwined, connecting the sky and the earth.
The sun broke through the various poisonous clouds that had been shrouded all year round, and scattered it on the barren land of southern Xinjiang. The continent that had been black for countless years had a touch of life. For the first time, red flowers and green trees grew on this mountain peak.
There are also many wonderful creatures starting to take root.
After discussion among the few tribesmen, they decided that this was the place God had given them to live in.
The men and women took their tribesmen on the mountain to perform miracles, hoping to see if they could find a glimmer of hope before their tribes were on the verge of extinction.
The difficulties along the way were insignificant, and in the end only half of the original hundred people remained.
Fortunately, we finally reached this peak after going through all kinds of difficulties, and judging from the shape of this peak, it is exactly the same as Wushan, the holy mountain among the 100,000 mountains today.
This is the only place among the hundreds of thousands of mountains that is covered by sunlight. This sunlight is extremely holy in their eyes. Facing things they have never seen before, ignorant people regard them as miracles.
Start your pilgrimage from the foot of the mountain and go up the mountain. The flowers and plants you encounter on the road are not as poisonous as those in other places, and the creatures here are not as ferocious as outside. The people of these tribes happily start to settle in this mountain.
This is the only paradise in the entire southern Xinjiang, and they finally settled down.
But this unique place was also discovered by other ferocious insects and beasts, and they began to try to invade here, but the sunlight was fatal to them.
This sunlight blocked a small number of ferocious beasts, but as more and more ferocious beasts surrounded the sacred mountain, the entire tribe once again reached a critical moment of life and death.
Two divine lights, one black and one white, always landed on the top of this sacred mountain. In order to solve the crisis, the man and the woman decided to go to the mysterious top of the mountain to pay homage to the unknown immortal.
There are frequent strange phenomena on the top of the mountain, but there are no immortals. The vast place is divided into two parts by the black and white divine light. The white flames are as hot as fire in one part, and the rocks and trees are all scorched, while the black side is full of ghosts and howling ghosts.
One black and one white tried to fuse, but their attributes were completely opposite and constantly in conflict. Every fusion ended in failure.
A majestic voice came from the sky. Jiang Yan and Li Meng also heard the voice, but they couldn't understand it at all.
"Can you understand?" Jiang Yan asked.
"I don't understand. This is probably an ancient saying from southern Xinjiang..." Li Meng said.
After listening, the man and the woman bowed to God. Finally, they sat in front of the two-colored divine light and leaned on each other to talk to each other, with deep love in their eyes.
