The years of reselling the haunted house

I asked again: "Leader, when I came here, I heard a mantra sound, and at the same time, a woman was waving her limbs on the cliff as if she was dancing, and then she jumped off the cliff. What's the reason?"

Kurtu explained: "That is a kind of sacrificial activity. In fact, the most important part of this mountain and river sacrifice is the previous sacrifice. On a certain night before the start of the mountain and river sacrifice, a mage will host a Sacrifice. The implication is to let the girl's soul out of the body, to tell Hu Tianshen, saying that this side is ready, please God, please show up as scheduled after the start of the mountain and river sacrifice. The mantra you hear is a kind of The soul-sending curse, the girl will jump off the cliff after dancing in the soul-sending curse, and then her body will be eaten by the holy wolf, and the remaining soul will meet Hu Tianshen under the escort of the soul-sending curse. Wait until the Shanhe Daji After the official start, there are not so many activities and procedures. There is only one step into the mountain.”

I nodded after hearing this, even though I have always dealt with ghosts and gods, I am used to things in Taoism.But for all that Kurtu said, I feel that most of it is exaggerated.There are more ancient customs and fantasies about gods in their Kele tribe.Of course, there will also be real parts in it, such as the human body is eaten, and the soul has no body, so it is easier to be guided by some mantras to a specific place.So there is still some basis for his statement.

Kurtu talked about the holy wolf, which made me think of that animal that can glide.After the girl jumped off the cliff at that time, there were indeed many animals of that kind gliding down the cliff, maybe it was going to the place where the girl fell.

To confirm this, I asked, "Boss, is the holy wolf you are talking about a wolf-headed animal that can fly?"

Kurtu nodded and said, "Yes, that's the holy wolf in our tribe, a kind of totem for us."

Sure enough, the tribe's totem is that kind of flying wolf.So, the four tokens we got also have wolf heads on them, so will they be related to the Kele tribe?

I looked at Kurtu and wanted to inquire about those few tokens in detail, but I had an extra thought in my mind, and I suppressed this thought.

This token is one of the most important clues we have obtained here. The four tokens are hidden so secretly that we can find them in the tree hole, which can be said to be great luck.

I couldn't and shouldn't have revealed the token so early on.Maybe temporarily hide them in my heart, when the time comes there will be a greater use.

Liang Yue was still worried about the girls who had been summoned, and she asked whether those girls could go back alive.

Kurtu told us that those girls also came to make sacrifices in the Mountain and River Festival. Even if they didn’t make sacrifices, they would be left in the tribe after the festival and intermarry with people in the tribe.

"How can I do that? Isn't this human trafficking?" Liang Yue was very excited when he heard that.

This reaction made Kurtu also stunned. He stared at Liang Yue, and his attitude was a bit bad. He asked the fifth mother-in-law to warn Liang Yue not to interfere in this matter, otherwise he would not be able to keep us.

I know that the reason why Kurtu will stand with us temporarily is because we saved him, and he wants to use us now.That's all, if it touches the core interests of the tribe, he will definitely speak out with the tribe.We can learn so much from him for the time being, which is already very good.At this time, we must not let him think that we have ulterior motives.

I winked at Liang Yue, and Liang Yue understood, so I stopped entangled in this matter.

Afterwards, Kurtu started to prepare for the Mountain and River Festival. He summoned fifty warriors from the village, all of whom were uniformly dressed in leather armor and held a full moon scimitar. They were energetic and full of air.

The team had assembled outside the gate, and they were waiting for the horn to sound when the time came, which represented the beginning of the Mountain and River Festival.

I was also curious about this mountain and river festival, so I asked Kurtu if he could go there first.Kurtu hurriedly waved his hand and told us that there is a strict time limit here, and we must not arrive at the scene before the time, otherwise we will be held accountable and punished if something goes wrong.

We had no choice but to continue to wait in the stockade. At this time, our team was still four people, but Hailang and Uncle San were not there, and Liang Yue and Zhong Xiaofeng were replaced.Since we don't have any idea about the upcoming Shanhe Festival, we can't make any preparations at this moment, so my heart is also suspended.

Kurtu seemed even more nervous, he paced back and forth in the room.

It was already getting dark outside, and countless torches were lit in the village, and everyone was waiting for that moment to come.But the sound of the horn, which indicates that the time has come, has not sounded for a long time, as if deliberately against us.

Chapter 1478

While we were waiting anxiously, more than an hour passed, when suddenly there was a loud noise from outside.

There was a bang, and the ground even trembled a few times.

I subconsciously thought it was an earthquake, but after the shock passed, there was no more vibration or sound, and the outside quickly subsided.

And Kurtu seemed to realize something, his face changed suddenly, he walked to the door quickly, and shouted.

We all looked at the fifth mother-in-law, who explained: "The leader is asking the time, we seem to have been tricked."

After a commotion outside, someone reported the exact time.

Kurtu jumped into a rage when he heard it. He didn't care that his legs had just recovered, and stomped his feet in the room, roaring angrily.

Although we couldn't understand what he said, it was not difficult to see that it must be a curse word.

The fifth mother-in-law explained to us in a low voice: "The child's hour has already arrived, and the big sacrifice should have already begun. We are already one step too late."

"What's going on? Didn't you say there was a horn sound?" I questioned.

The fifth granny said: "We were tricked. The one who played the horn must have been bribed by Moore, but he didn't blow the horn when the time came. Now he can't be found anymore."

At this time, Kurtu waved his hand and asked us to follow him immediately to the scene of the Mountain and River Festival.

The few of us hurriedly packed up our things and followed Kurtu out of the stockade.His fifty warriors followed closely behind and rushed towards the mountainside along a road in the village.

That should be the direction where the loud noise was heard just now. Now that the time has passed, the big sacrifice has obviously begun.It's as if we haven't waited for the start, and they have already run halfway.

It seems that Moore is a treacherous villain, his methods are extremely sinister and cunning, and this method also makes us appear extremely passive.

In fact, the main reason for this situation is that Kurtu is much more loyal than Murlie, and his behavior and affairs are carried out in accordance with normal rules. He never thought that Murlie would make such a trick .

However, this dumb person is not wronged at all. Since this kind of competition between the two sides is about the heir, naturally it should not limit the means and use all means.Regarding the current situation, we can only try our best to make up for it, hoping to shorten the distance that was pulled away by Murlie and the others as much as possible.

The Mountain and River Festival is a major event for the entire tribe. Although it is already night, clusters of braziers can be seen everywhere in the mountains where the tribe is located. Some of those braziers are placed in high pavilions, and some stand on poles, like A pole of street lamps brightly illuminates the road we are traveling on.

Since we arrived here, we have been avoiding the investigation of the tribe, so we didn't have any idea about how big the Kele tribe was and how wide the scope of control was.Today, I finally walked around inside openly, and I saw a little bit of fire within the range of sight, even on the mountainside in the distance.This shows that the Kele tribe is much bigger than I imagined.

I estimate that the mountains near and far may all belong to the Kele tribe.They occupy such a large area, but they have been living outside the normal line of sight, and they have been able to live a life like a paradise, which cannot but be said to be a miracle.It seems that they must have a special way to hide the scope of their lives from the sight and inspection of outsiders.

As for what method was used, we don't need to pursue it. The important thing is that we successfully entered and participated in their activities without any danger.And for this mysterious Kele tribe, I have a growing feeling that it may not be completely closed as we know it.

Because as I see and hear more and more things, I feel that if everything here is fully enclosed, there are many conditions that cannot be met.

For example, the clothes worn by the people of the Kele tribe, the food displayed in those houses, the scimitar in the hands of the Kele warriors, etc.If there is no external input for these things, the tribe must have corresponding weaving facilities, iron smelting and processing facilities, and various construction equipment.Because the objects they use are not very primitive, but rather advanced.Self-sufficiency in a closed environment alone should not meet this requirement.

So I have enough reasons to suspect that the Kele tribe does not exist independently, and probably has some kind of close connection with the outside world.For example, some people regularly deliver some necessary supplies to the tribe, or people in the tribe regularly go out to buy some supplies, and deal with some necessary matters, etc.

In short, I have a hunch that through this great mountain and river festival, we will definitely gain a lot.

When I followed Kurtu forward, I looked around from time to time.Originally, I thought that after I left, Third Uncle was arrested and Mr. Qian escaped.As a result, the development of the matter was completely reversed, Qian Qingfeng was arrested, and the third uncle was at large.The third uncle hasn't appeared until now, I think the third uncle will definitely not leave by himself, he must still be in this tribe.

I suspect that the person who once broke into the main village is him.But it doesn't feel like it, the third uncle probably doesn't have that much ability to make a success in the main village.

But unfortunately, there is nothing suspicious in the surrounding environment. It is not realistic for the time being to find the third uncle's trace with my pair of eyes.I can only focus on the upcoming mountain and river festival again.As for the third uncle, I think he will show up when it is time for him to show up.

We climbed halfway up the mountain along the road in the tribe, and soon a stone gatehouse appeared in front of us. There were high stone walls on both sides of the gatehouse, which were more than ten feet high, which looked unattainable.Because it is in the mountains, the most indispensable thing in this tribe is still stone.Many buildings are built with stone as the main material.Moreover, there are quite a few capable people in the Kelie tribe. The stones used in those buildings have been processed to a certain extent, and they have been trimmed to a uniform standard with an ax chisel, which looks strict and standardized.

The same is true for the gate tower, which looks majestic and majestic.

There are a large number of warriors guarding the gatehouse. These warriors are all wearing yellow turbans. According to what we know, they should all come from the main village.

I think that after passing this gate building, it should be the main venue of the Shanhe Festival.Because the interrogation here is extremely strict, we need to accept the interrogation one by one.Sure enough, there is a step of cleansing the face, which is to wipe off the oil paint on the face with a wet cotton cloth to reveal the real face.

Chapter 1479 The Familiar Sedan Carriage

Although Kurtu was in a hurry, he had no choice but to accept the interrogation step by step.Although the process went smoothly, we still lost more than half an hour here together with the fifty Lanzhai warriors.

While waiting for those warriors to clean their faces, I suddenly made an unexpected discovery.

I found that Yunmei was a beautiful girl after removing the paint on her face.Speaking of which, my luck is really not bad. After hanging out with my third uncle for such a long time, I met a lot of girls, and 80.00% of them are beautiful girls who are attractive and delicious.

Everyone has a desire for beauty, even if there is no unreasonable desire, but seeing a beautiful girl dangling in front of her eyes is always a good mood.

Yunmei has the beauty of a girl from a different race, she looks very seductive.Maybe seeing that my eyes were a little straight, Liang Yue secretly pinched me through the clothes.

I bared my teeth in pain, Liang Yue gave me a blank look, and I quickly shifted my gaze away.This woman is always jealous.

After the face cleansing, those Klei warriors also showed their true faces, and everyone looked at them vigorously.

And we, together with the fifty Klei warriors, have all been checked and interrogated.

I looked up at the sky, and judging from my experience, although it was still Zi Shi, it was estimated that Zi Shi would soon be Chou Shi.

After everyone passed the stone gate, Kurtu led us to the scene of the Mountain and River Festival.

I soon discovered that when we climbed to the halfway up the mountain, we saw another big mountain in front of us.

In front of the mountain pass, there were already crowds of people, and there was constant noise.

As Kurtu led the people, those people quickly moved away from the two sides, and we came to the front from the middle.

When I got to the front, I saw a tall sedan chair standing in the center at a glance.

The sedan chair was also extremely gorgeously decorated, many colorful decorations were added to the sedan chair, and dozens of colored strips fluttered in the wind.

When I saw this sedan chair, I was taken aback for a moment, because I was very familiar with this sedan chair.

This picture made me pull my memory back to another incident I had experienced.When we were still in the Valley of the Undead, we all saw a sedan chair carried by 16 people, and its decoration was similar to what we saw today.At that time, we speculated that the person sitting in the sedan chair was the owner of the Undying Valley, or the owner of the Undying Valley.It's just that the owner of the valley was very mysterious, and he never showed his face from the beginning to the end, and we didn't see his true face.

And we didn't meet him again in our later experiences.So until now, it is still a mystery who the person in the sedan chair is.We also suspect that that person is the most mysterious prince in the Thirteen Demons of Xuanmen.

But everything is just speculation, nothing has been confirmed.

Later, our experience had nothing to do with Undead Valley, so we temporarily forgot about it.As a result, I saw this kind of sedan chair again here.There are very few people riding sedan chairs now, so its appearance cannot fail to attract my attention.

Sometimes things are like this, maybe a picture you see can evoke a memory that has been dusty in your mind for a long time.

Seeing this sedan chair today brought back more memories in me.

Still in the Valley of the Undying, the last thing we know about the mysterious force in the Valley of the Undying is that the configuration inside is divided into five levels: orange, blue, purple, white, and black.Orange is the highest and black is the lowest.And they are distinguished by the color matching of clothing.

And in the Kele tribe we are in, although they don't wear that kind of colorful clothes, but...

How was their village named?

It is orange, blue, purple, white and black. For example, Murlie is in the Orange Village, and Kurtu is in the Blue Village.Their respective samurai also wear headbands of corresponding colors.

It is also named after these five colors. Although it seems that the villages here are just performing their own duties and there is no obvious hierarchical distinction, but there are many colors in the world, but they use the same five colors. Is it just a coincidence?

There is also that strange weapon, the full moon scimitar, which has appeared in both places.This weapon is also very different, and I don't believe it's just a coincidence.

There are various indications that there must be a close connection between the Undead Valley at that time and the Kele tribe in front of us.

This idea is also consistent with my previous judgment. I once judged that the Kele tribe is not completely closed, and must be connected with the outside world.

Then, is the person in the sedan chair the same person as the one in the sedan chair in the Undead Valley?Is he the owner of Undead Valley?Or that mysterious prince?

Seeing that sedan chair made my thoughts run wild, and multiple thoughts flashed through my mind.Maybe when the person inside the sedan chair appears, there will be an answer.

But just like the scene in the Undead Valley, the person in the sedan chair is also very mysterious. We came here, but he didn't show up for a long time.

Of course, this sedan chair is only similar to the sedan chair in the Undead Valley. For example, compared to the one in the Undying Valley, there are no women in front of the sedan chair and people playing drums on the left and right sides of the sedan chair. .

That is to say, compared to the Valley of the Undying, the appearance of the sedan chair here has a lot less configuration, and it is not as ostentatious as the one in the Valley of the Undying.

Around the sedan chair, there were quite a few Klei warriors guarding it, and those warriors also wore yellow belts on their heads.

I can basically tell now that the people here don't wear clothes and other accessories of various colors like in Undead Valley.If it is an ordinary tribe member, there is no distinction between villages, and they belong to the entire tribe.However, the warriors in the five villages belonged and were differentiated.The stockade is divided into five villages, which are orange, blue, purple, white, and black, and the warriors also wear turbans of these five colors on their heads to distinguish them.

The warriors belonging to the main village wear yellow turbans on their heads.

Since then, I have only seen those with yellow bands and blue bands on their heads, which belong to Zhuzhai and Kurtu's Lanzhai.I haven't seen any warriors from other villages.But according to the rules, that should be the case.

It can be seen that there are as many as two to three hundred warriors in the main village, and they are neatly arranged and ready to fight.

We just arrived here, and I didn't see the warrior with the orange belt, which means that there is no Murlie of the Orange Village here, our main opponent, and he is not here.

Kurtu was already a step too late, so he was naturally anxious. He entered the venue, stomped his feet, and ran towards the sedan chair quickly.

Chapter 1480 Disappointed Grand Sacrifice

It can be seen that Kurtu's leg should be fine, and the recovery speed is still very fast.

We also wanted to follow Kurtu to the front of the sedan chair, but before we could take a few steps, we were blocked by a group of Kele warriors.Those warriors held machetes and stopped us, only letting Kurtu pass by.

We stood on the periphery, and I saw Kurtu running all the way to the front of the sedan chair, talking in a low voice, with an extremely humble attitude.

This is exactly the same as in the Valley of the Undying, the status of the people in the sedan chair must be supreme here.So much so that when other people came to the sedan chair, they all talked to him in an extremely humble manner.

Even Kurtu, who has always been arrogant, is the same. It can be seen that the identity of the person in the sedan chair is much higher.If you guessed correctly, this person is the so-called leader of the Kele tribe.

While talking, I saw that Kurtu was a little excited, as if he was arguing with the people inside.

They talked for about 10 minutes, and Kurtu ran back in great strides.Seeing that we were still stopped by those warriors, he was a little annoyed, and yelled at those warriors a few words.

Apparently, Kurtu had received instructions from the chief, and the warriors quickly let us go after listening.

Kurtu said a few words to us, and through the translation by the fifth mother-in-law, I learned that Kurtu had learned from the chief, because the time for the mountain and river festival has arrived, the scarlet spiritual tide has appeared, and Yaoshun Mountain spoke as scheduled, But because Kurtu didn't come here on time, in order to seize the best time, the chief had agreed that Murlie led people into the mountain pass.

Now the chief also agrees that Kurtu lead people to enter the mountain pass again, as before, whoever finds Hu Tianshen first, breaks the secrets in Yaoshun Mountain, and discovers the dusty treasure will be the next chief.

I was a little dumbfounded when I heard it, because things happened a bit out of my expectation.

From what we have learned, the Mountain and River Festival is only held once every 60 years, and we have almost put all our attention on the Mountain and River Festival.We all want to find some necessary clues from the Shanhe Festival.

So we came to participate in this mountain and river festival with great hopes, but when we got here, we were told that the mountain and river festival was over.Someone has entered the pass, leaving us with only a tail.

On the one hand, we are of course late, but at the same time, it also reflects that the so-called Mountain and River Festival of the Kele tribe is too childish for such a large-scale event.Now that Zi Shi has not yet passed, the Mountain and River Festival is over. This process is less than two hours, and this scene may not even be considered an ordinary sacrifice.

Because of this, I was extremely disappointed, and I also lost interest in the next plan to go into the mountains to find Hu Tianshen.

I was thinking that the so-called search for Hu Tianshen might be just a child's play.

But at this time we have come here, and there is no possibility of going back.Because we are the guests invited by Kurtu, we can help them find Hu Tianshen and find the treasure, so we are allowed to walk freely in this tribe.Once we lose that identity, we can quickly be in danger.They won't let us out of the Horde alive.

Since Murlie had already taken a step ahead, Kurtu was already in a hurry at this time. He led us into the field quickly and ran past the sedan chair.
