The years of reselling the haunted house

Our conversation was translated to Kurtu by the fifth mother-in-law.

After hearing this, Kurtu was furious and said something.Translated to us by the fifth mother-in-law: "I understand, it is Murlie and those who deliberately framed us. They hid these poisonous moths in this stele-keeper beast. If it wasn't for you, sir, to stop us from going forward, we People will rush to the front. Judging from the timing, those poisonous moths will come out of the stele guard beast. Those of us who are caught off guard will be drilled into our bodies by these poisonous moths. I didn't expect them to be so vicious, sir It was you who saved me, us all, and Lanzhai even more."

Kurtu said, and bowed to me again with their unique etiquette.This time, together with the fifty Kelie warriors, they also saluted us one after another.

When I figured this out, I also had lingering fears.Just now, I just told everyone not to go forward based on the principle of being careful first. I didn't expect that this move really saved more than 50 people.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Yue said: "If you think about it this way, I think their viciousness is more than that. This is a conspiracy that can be called a series of tricks. These poisonous moths will burrow into the human body along the nose and mouth Go. If we take precautions and cover our mouth and nose, these poisonous moths will not be able to succeed. At this time, these poisonous moths left outside will successfully attract those ghost bats. Even if we escape the poisonous moths, We can't escape the attack of ghost bats. We stand up, and the pool of water can't help us. There are more than 50 of us, and we have not waited for the next plan, so we directly confessed here."

After hearing Liang Yue's words, this is really a frightening thing to think about. When those poisonous bats came over just now, we didn't get too much fright. After all, those bats didn't attack us.But looking back now, I feel a wave of fear.I even felt a chill down my spine.

I thought about the competition between the other party and us, but I didn't expect their moves to be so vicious. This is completely an attitude of trying to drive us to death.

And Kurtu was even more furious. He clenched the scimitar in his hand and gritted his teeth.

I hurriedly comforted him and said: "Leader, you have to calm down first, the other party is walking in front of us, and he will definitely play tricks. We have to keep a clear head, otherwise it will be easy to get tricked."

Kurtu nodded: "I know. If I can go back to this matter, I will definitely report it to the big boss. They are no longer a simple competition. This is completely a painful move, trying to drive us all to death. hateful."

I thought to myself, I don't know what the big leader is thinking, judging from his tacit consent to Murlie entering the mountain crevice before, he may not be on Kurtu's side.Even Moore's behavior was acquiesced by him.

The big boss was only forced by the pressure of the tribe, and it was not easy to directly announce that Murlie would succeed the big boss, so he had to create such a competition to cover everyone's mouths.

Of course, this is just my own idea. I don't want to get too involved in the internal struggles between them. I just need to do the things right now.

I looked up at the Hutian Shrine, and there was a plaque on the top of the main hall with characters on it, which were also characters that we didn't recognize.It is estimated that it is the word Hu Tian Temple.

This shrine has not been taken care of for 60 years, and green moss and moss have grown in many places, looking very old and dilapidated.

Chapter 1487

On the standing tablet, it can also be seen that there are words engraved on it.

Qian Qingfeng reached out to clean up some of the attachments on the stone tablet, and checked it with a flashlight.After watching for a while, he turned to Kurtu and asked, "Boss, you must recognize the writing on it. Do you know what is written on it?"

According to some of our research, the Kele tribe actually has its own characters and language. We have already learned their language, so it is like a foreign language that has never been learned. We can listen to half a sentence. don't know.Apparently, their language is incompatible with any local language in the country.I guess their languages ​​should have been passed down from the Kele tribe back then.

But Qian Qingfeng had studied that token before, and the words on it were not recorded in any historical materials.It was then inferred that this language was not recorded either.In other words, this language and writing did not leave any traces in the history of the country.

After arriving at the Kele tribe, I had a close contact with their language. I guessed that this language and characters only existed in a prototype among the Kele tribe back then. Later, the Kele tribe was defeated. After disbanding, there was no further development.The development of this initial embryonic language and writing was stranded.Until later, some members of the Kelie tribe regrouped and came to the mountains near Jiayuguan to live a secret life.

Although Kurtu did not tell us in detail why these Kele people who came out of the Mongolian tribe lived in seclusion in the mountains, but I guess they must have their purpose, and this purpose is very important to them. A strong purpose can motivate them to do such a thing.

And these Kele people, reorganizing the Kele tribe in this mountain, must not want outsiders to know their whereabouts and purpose.Therefore, they simply did not allow the use of common languages ​​and characters in the tribe, and instead took out those Kele characters and languages ​​that had a certain prototype, and refined, subdivided and perfected them, thus forming a special language and writing.

This is the language of the Kele tribe that we are hearing now, and the characters composed of strange symbols seen on the stone tablet and the token.

Therefore, we think that the text on this stele was built in front of the most respected Hutian Temple of the Kele tribe. This content must be extremely important, and it will be very helpful for us to break the secret.As for Kurtu, who is an important person of the Kele tribe and one of the successors, he must know the words on it.

But when Qian Qingfeng asked Kurtu what was written on it, after listening to the translation by the fifth mother-in-law, Kurtu asked the fifth mother-in-law to translate: "I'm sorry, in our tribe, only the big leader I can recognize and use tribal characters. I can only have the right to learn this kind of characters after I become a big leader. So I don’t know what is written on it.”

We were very surprised to hear this result. Could it be that only the big leader in this tribe can understand this kind of writing?

I glanced at Kurtu and asked, "There is only one person who understands this kind of writing. That's not a good thing to say. If something happens to the chief, isn't this writing lost?"

Kurtu explained: "On the mountain behind the place where the chieftain lives, there is a hidden cave called the Sutra Cave. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter that place, and it is closed all the year round. Only the chieftain can enter and exit. The scriptures inside have The comparison between Kelie script and ordinary script can be mastered after a period of study. Therefore, even if the chief is gone, no matter who succeeds the next chief, he can enter the scripture cave to study."

Qian Qingfeng was quite disappointed after hearing this: "So you don't know this kind of writing either."

Zhong Xiaofeng also asked: "Is there no other person in the tribe who knows this script except the big leader? This script is very important to us."

Kurtu shook his head vigorously in response to the two people's questions. It seems that the inscription is very close at hand, and we can only give up the inscription that probably records important information.

Kurtu said again: "Let's hurry up. Murlie and the others are already far ahead of us. If we don't catch up, we will be pulled further and further away by them."

I nodded, looked at the gate of the Hutian Shrine, and was about to open the door to have a look inside.

Liang Yue pulled me back: "Li Yang, be careful of the other party's conspiracy."

Obviously, the venomous moths in the stelekeeper beast and the poisonous bats attracted by the venomous moths have left us with lingering fears.

I have already thought about this issue. Regarding Liang Yue's worries, I waved my hand and said: "Chief Kurtu is right, we must catch up with each other as soon as possible. Murlie and the others must be in this Hutian Temple. After the survey, I estimated the time. It is already very good for them to have time to play tricks on the stele guard beast. They will not have extra time to play tricks in this shrine. It is a very respectful place for the Kele tribe, and they should not set up an ambush to kill people in it."

Liang Yue nodded. Even so, she still held her dagger, and followed me as I pushed open the gate of the shrine and walked in.

Several torches and flashlights were lit at the same time, shining inside.

I found that the ground inside was originally covered with a layer of dust, but now there were many messy footprints printed on it. It was obvious that Murray's people had already been there.

Entering the gate of the shrine, there is a main hall facing you. In front of the main hall, that is, where we are, is a gate hall, which is similar to the structure of many ordinary temples over there.

It's just that there are no gods in this gate hall, such as the Four King Kong and the like.Instead, there are many murals painted on the walls.

It seems that the Kele tribe really likes to use murals to express their wishes and record the history they have experienced.

With the mural, Qian Qingfeng lifted his spirits again. Holding a flashlight, he leaned in front of the mural to look at it.

I'm afraid he'll watch it for hours, we don't have that much time to stay here.

As a result, Qian Qingfeng only took a few glances this time, then walked back and shook his head and said, "It's worthless, it's just what they said, the scene of Hu Tianshen saving them back then."

I nodded, walked through the gate hall, and walked towards the main hall.

The main hall should be the only main hall in this shrine, and the mysterious Hu Tianshen is enshrined in it.

Hu Tianshen is supreme in the Kelie tribe, and I am also very interested to see who this Hu Tianshen is.

Chapter 1488

The gate of the main hall was closed. I waved my hand and pointed to the gate.

Immediately, two Kelie warriors stepped up and pushed the door open.

Although Kurtu handed over the command of the entire team to us, we can't control these warriors as we like, because of the relationship between language, sometimes they basically rely on gestures to receive my instructions.

Fortunately, these Klei warriors are all selected elites, and they can understand my intentions even with my basic gestures.

The door of the main hall creaked and was pushed open. I made a gesture behind me, stretched out ten fingers, and signaled the Klei warriors to send out ten people to follow us in, because the main hall is not very big.

A dozen of us walked in through the gate of the main hall.

After I came in, I smelled a strong smell of gunpowder, and the smell was so pungent that we all covered our mouths and noses involuntarily.

I had a bad feeling, the smell of sulfur was so strong, it couldn't have been left behind many years ago, it must have been done by Moore and his gang again.

I hurriedly motioned to the people behind me to put out all the torches.Although I feel that the other party will not have time to set up more traps, it is necessary to be on guard against others. There is a smell of sulfur here, so it is better to put out the open fire.

Everyone left only the flashlights for lighting, and first they shone toward the center of the main hall.

According to the normal setting, this should be where the statue of Hu Tianshen stands.

But we took a few flashlights at the same time, and found that there was an altar in front of it, which should also be carved out of stone. On the altar, there was no statue of Hu Tianshen. Instead, the altar was full of Messy gravel.

"Unashai..." Kurtu yelled, and rushed over, staring at the pile of rubble in a daze.

There was still faint smoke coming out of the gap in the middle of the gravel.

Seeing this, Liang Yue said: "It seems that they used gunpowder, and the statue was blown up by them."

Apparently Kurtu also understood what had happened, he let out a cry of pain, knelt down on the ground with a puff, kowtowed continuously, and muttered words in his mouth.

The ten Kelie warriors who followed also knelt down in front of the altar, bowing to the pile of rubble.

We patrolled the main hall and found no other clues. It seems that the only statue of Hu Tianshen who can provide us with clues was also destroyed by the other party.

Zhong Xiaofeng said: "They are destroying the evidence. This Hu Tianshen must have clues that we are afraid to let us know."

Qian Qingfeng nodded, and said, "I didn't expect that Hu Tianshen is sacred and inviolable in the Kelie tribe. Murlie actually allowed them to blow up the statue. Isn't the price a bit high?"

I shook my head: "They blew up the statue. There are two possibilities. One is that they discovered the secret of the statue, or there may be some secrets in the body of the statue. I think the statue is also carved in stone. It may be the same as that of the statue. The Monument Beasts are also hollow. So they simply blasted the idol, and at the same time let us get no clues. Another possibility is that they didn't find any clues, but they were afraid that we would discover the secret after chasing here , so I blew up the idol and destroyed the evidence."

Qian Qingfeng said: "No wonder they tried their best to be one step ahead. This will definitely take too much initiative. This statue is destroyed, and we came in vain."

At this time, the group of Klei warriors kept kneeling on the ground and muttering to themselves, while bowing continuously, with an extremely pious attitude.

I asked the fifth mother-in-law standing aside: "What are they talking about?"

The fifth mother-in-law said: "Hu Tianshen is the supreme god in their hearts. Now that the statue is destroyed, it is the greatest blasphemy to God. They are afraid of being blamed by the gods, so they have been here to worship Hu Tianshen for forgiveness. Otherwise, God will definitely take revenge."

I smiled wryly and said, "We were not the ones who blew up the statue. If you want to blame it, you must blame Murlie and his gang. How can you blame us?"

The fifth mother-in-law explained: "All the people of the Kele tribe shoulder the duty of protecting Hu Tianshen, which is also their dereliction of duty."

I nodded: "Fifth Granny, let them all get up, there is no point in confessing now, we have to hurry up and catch up."

The fifth mother-in-law said a few words to the eleven people headed by Kurtu, and Kurtu got up from the ground, with anger hidden in the panic, obviously he was very angry with Murlie and others for blowing up the statue. What he did was filled with righteous indignation.

Judging from the behavioral styles of the two of them now, even though they are both heading for the position of chief, Kurtu belongs to the kind of person who is well-behaved, strictly abides by the tribal rules, and strictly abides by his duty.And Murray is the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve a certain goal.The personalities of the two are very different.

Although I haven't seen this Murray yet, he encouraged his subordinates to do such outrageous things one after another, which shows that this person is extremely sinister and vicious.

Originally, I had some hopes for this shrine, but after arriving here, I found nothing again.

This made me extremely disappointed, and I became more and more uncertain about whether I could finally complete the task.

But Kurtu didn't say much, and after standing up, he led the ten people back out of the shrine.

I also waved my hand, and those of us also left the shrine one after another.

I was the last one to leave the main hall of the shrine, and when I stepped in and out of the door, I suddenly heard a sound coming from the main hall.

The sound was like the cry of some animal, and the cry was a little weak.

After practicing qi, my vision and hearing have improved a lot compared to ordinary people.Although the sound was captured by me, it was very weak.

"Wait." I stopped the people outside first, then walked back to the main hall, squatted down and listened carefully.

I tried my best to get rid of other distracting thoughts and let my attention focus on hearing.

The sound from the outside world became weaker and weaker, but the animal's cry I heard became more and more clear.

Of course, this is just my own feeling. After I called them back, other people looked at me inexplicably, not knowing what I was doing squatting on the ground.

I didn't care about other people, and I still listened to the faint voice.As the sound became clearer, I gradually discerned its direction.

I suddenly stood up, pointed to the broken stones on the altar and said, "Quick, move these away."

Seeing my serious face, the fifth mother-in-law hurriedly passed on my order. The ten Klei warriors froze for a moment, then went up and began to remove the broken stones from the altar.

The stone statue has been blasted, and the stones are scattered, so it is not troublesome to move them.

Chapter 1489 The Wounded Holy Wolf

After moving quickly, there were fewer and fewer stones on the altar.

At the beginning, Liang Yue and others didn't understand why I asked people to move these stones, but later on, the cry of the unknown animal became more real, and it was obvious that it came from under the stone.

Qian Qingfeng pointed to the altar and asked, "Li Yang, what kind of animal is buried here?"

I nodded: "I heard a sound when I was about to go out. After identification, it came from below. It seems that the stone statue collapsed and buried some animals inside."

Soon, a few more pieces of rubble were removed, and everyone's flashlights were shining on the altar.

Finally, a head emerged from the gap between the remaining rubble.

The thing was buried in the stone, but it still stuck out its head tenaciously, opened its mouth, bared its teeth and let out a roar.

The few of us gathered here, subconsciously hid in fright when this thing came suddenly.

But the thing was still pressed by a few stones, probably injured, and after barely letting out a roar, its head drooped quickly.

And we have all seen the appearance of this thing clearly. The head of the animal is a bit like a dog, but its mouth is longer than that of a dog, and its teeth are sharper. It looks closer to a wolf.

"Hu Tu, sand and mud..." Kurtu saw the animal from the side, and hurriedly issued an order. I found that he was very concerned about the guy in the crevice of the rock, and he was directing the warriors to speed up and move the animal away. The stone moves away.

At this time, the fifth mother-in-law told me in a low voice: "The leader said that this thing is a holy wolf, and asked the warriors to rescue it quickly."

"Holy wolf?" Hearing this name, I also remembered that in their tribe, those flying wolves with wings were called holy wolves.And this kind of holy wolf is also the animal totem of their tribe.But to be precise, the one they use to fly should not be called wings, it is more like a web, so it is more appropriate to call it a wing web.

As far as I know, if it can be used as a totem of a tribe, then this kind of animal will definitely be respected in this tribe, and no harm is allowed.

It turned out that this head was the head of the holy wolf. The holy wolf was buried by stones. No wonder Kurtu was so nervous.

Soon, all the stones that buried the holy wolf were cleared away.

Sure enough, there was a wolf lying on the altar.It's just that the appearance of this wolf is still somewhat different from ordinary wolves.Strictly speaking, it just has a more wolf-like head.

Its body is not much bigger than a cat, with stone-blue fur growing on its body, its two front legs are curled up, and its two hind legs are dragging behind. It should have been injured by a stone just now, with flesh and blood on it blurry.

When removing those stones, I also found that there happened to be a few relatively large stones supporting each other, forming a relatively loose space below, and the flying wolf just hid in that space, Only the hind legs were exposed and smashed, and the head and body were relatively safe, with only a few scratches.

What is more striking is that it drags a long tail with fluffy hair, similar to that of a squirrel.
