Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

"This is……"

After seeing the sketch clearly, Partridge Whistle couldn't help but frown slightly.

They had seen this mountain god more than once in the tomb of King Xian?

The temple outside the valley, the altar stone carvings, the murals inside the temple, the Xuan Palace lake view, and even the remains of the mountain god in the ancient bronze box.

The time span is one to two thousand years.

Emaki styles have changed over time.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the image of the mountain god.

It has a black face, long hair, a skull in its mouth, and a majestic look.

It was almost carved from the same mold as the sketch in front of me.

just.

The barbarians in Zhelong Mountain should have been killed by King Xian long ago. Why does this picture appear in Malu Village?

Could it be that...the natives back then were the ancestors of the Wa people?

These speculations together were like wildfire igniting in his mind, and he couldn't suppress it at all.

He couldn't help but look at Chen Yulou from the corner of his eye.

Look at his eyes twinkling.

Obviously I also thought about this.

"Dana, is this the big ghost you saw in Worm Valley?"

After carefully spreading the sketch on the coffee table, Xigu asked.

Even though he had already guessed from Chen Yulou's description, he still brought the two of them to Lord Long Mo just to be sure.

"That's it."

Chen Yulou nodded.

"There is an ancient temple at the foot of the cliff, and this is the shrine in the middle."

"That's right...that's right, the mountain god Awa, the three Wa villages around Zhelong Mountain have been looking for traces of him for countless years, but they have never found his whereabouts."

"Some people have long speculated that the mountain god may be trapped in the Worm Valley, but unfortunately, we can't get in at all."

See him confirm again.

Xigu's hanging heart finally fell back completely.

A pair of old faces were full of complexity.

Who would have thought.

There is another ghost and god in the place abandoned by the big ghost.

Over the years, they have also guessed that no matter how big Zhelong Mountain is, it cannot stop the footsteps of the tribesmen for thousands of years.

Except for the insect valley shrouded in poisonous miasma.

There is no other possibility.

In addition, ghosts are released, sacrifices are made, gods are invited, and divination is performed.

They have tried every possible method.

But the mountain ghost Ava disappeared without a trace, just like the rainwater blending into the river.

There have also been attempts to break in.

But in the end, it either dissolves into a pool of blood or turns into a mindless monster.

Of course, what made them finally give up entering the Worm Valley was the warning from the Great Ghost Meji.

Even though it is in charge of heaven and earth, it cannot put its eyes into it.

If it weren't for Chen Yulou and the others' forced entry, I'm afraid this secret would have been concealed for countless years.

This is why Sigu and Tog are so excited.

"Xigu Qiuda, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not?"

When the two old men gradually calmed down.

Chen Yulou then asked.

"Dana, even if you speak out, as long as I know, I will tell you everything."

Xigu clenched his fists with a serious look on his face.

This is the solemn etiquette of the Wa village.

Seeing him like this, Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh, and subconsciously sat up straight.

"I wonder if the Maluzhai branch has been living here since ancient times, or if they moved here from outside?"

"Nature has existed since ancient times."

Speaking of this, a hint of pride flashed in Xigu's cloudy eyes.

"There are nineteen villages at the foot of Zhelong Mountain. In addition to our Wa tribe, there are also Dai, Sanmiao, Donghu and Jurchen remnants. But except for our three Wa tribe villages, the rest of the villages were moved from behind."

About the history of Maluzhai.

As a Moba, it can be said that he has many family treasures.

Although there is no written language in the Wa Village, they have clearly recorded the events of their ancestors for more than a thousand years using knotted ropes, sketches and stone carvings.

Unlike those Miao villages, Dai villages, and Hu people.

Just a bunch of native barbarians.

No background whatsoever.

Even though Maluzhai is no longer as strong as it used to be and has declined a lot, it is not a small family like Mengla Village, where barbarians can get away with it.

"When can it be traced back to the earliest time?"

Chen Yulou nodded and continued to ask.

"The earliest?"

Xigu thought for a moment, "I'm not sure exactly, but it must have been fifteen or six hundred years ago."

"Fifteen to six hundred years."

Hear this number.

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle couldn't help but look at each other.

There was a flash of understanding in his expression.

The Tomb of King Xian was built two thousand years ago.

From this point of view, there were hundreds of years in between, and it was very likely that the barbarians escaped and then multiplied for generations in the dense forest far away from the Insect Valley.

Eventually three Wa villages were formed: Wulu, Shangjing and Simo.

Although they have lived together outside Zhelong Mountain for generations.

It is also called Wa Village.

But they don’t actually communicate much with each other.

It is reasonable to look at the discontinuity of the past and the disappearance of history.

"Dana?"

Xigu hasn't reacted yet.

I don't quite understand why he suddenly asked about this.

Hearing this, Chen Yulou smiled apologetically, then put his thoughts away and said seriously.

"Does Qiuda know the Diqiang tribe?"

"Or maybe the Pu clan?"

"Di Qiang? Pu clan?"

Xigu frowned slightly and subconsciously fell into thinking. After a moment of silence, he still shook his head.

"What about Wang?"

"see?!"

Very different from before.

The moment he heard this word, Xigu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"As the ancestor of the Wa, I naturally know this."

Hearing this, Chen Yulou immediately understood.

He had read the information before, and based on the archeology and cultural inheritance of later generations, there have always been two theories about the origin of the Wa people.

One is that it originated from the ancient Di Qiang tribe. The Di Qiang were divided into Ailao tribe, and Ailao tribe was the Pu tribe.

The ancient Ailao Kingdom was even established in the pre-Qin period.

The second is that it originated from Wangman. According to ancient books, the ancestors of Jingpo were Puman, and the ancestors of the Wa people were Wangman.

As for the Wa nationality's creation epic "Sigangli", it is recorded that the ancestors of the Wa nationality came out of Sigangli.

After all, these rumors have too strong a mythical flavor.

but.

Now we can get a glimpse of it from Xigu's words.

The Yi people who lived in Zhelong Mountain at that time should be Wangman, the ancestors of the Wa people.

However, after King Xian arrived, he launched a war, hunted and killed Wangman as a slave, and built a Tiangong tomb for him.

A small number of them hid in the mountains.

Hundreds of years passed.

Gradually several villages were formed.

But the history of that era gradually disappeared, and we only know that they were the queens of Wangman.

He took a deep breath.
