Sourness

Mi Yue felt that compared with A Jiao, this one was really an old neighbor next to her former residence.

More than an old neighbor, it's a living history book.

Mi Yue touched the stone wall and sat cross-legged on the ground.

He had a lot of questions to ask it, but after much deliberation, he decided to ask the one he cared about the most first, "Can I ask about A Jiao's condition? I saw that there seemed to be something in the meat that those people fed it. medicine."

No matter how smart A Jiao is, compared with these people's mind, I'm afraid it's not enough.Seeing that it devoured those pieces of meat, Mi Yue was always worried.

Sheng Anxi has locked Ajiao for many years and has been studying it.What Miyue was worried about was that this kind of medicine, which they poured into the flesh, was developed for A Jiao's physique, and would cause serious damage to his body.

"Oh, you said that little thing," the voice said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. The high priest in the past has studied it and said that the poison in our body contains a very special ingredient. This ingredient can make The other toxins are deactivated . . . it's like pouring a small pot of water into a fire doesn't put it out. That's pretty much it."

Mi Yue didn't study biology, so she didn't quite understand the reason behind it.But it said with certainty that he also heaved a sigh of relief.He began to ask questions as vigorously as he was taking notes in class, "Is the high priest you're talking about the high priest during Li Feiling's reign?"

None of the priests of the Xishan tribe left their names, but this one probably had too much influence, so he was honored as the "high priest" by later generations.

"There are many high priests." The voice explained: "Each high priest, with a few apprentices, is responsible for recording various activities in the tribe, and will also treat the clansmen... very busy. The high priest Before he dies, he will identify the next high priest...so, the high priest is not alone."

It paused and added, "Each of them lived for the tribe and died for the tribe. Many of them didn't even marry and have children in their entire lives."

Mi Yue nodded, it's no wonder that the high priest enjoys such a high status in the tribe.

"After the tribe moved away from the valley, the high priest and his disciples still lived here, and most of the books in the tribe remained here. In addition, there was a special herb room here at the beginning, and priests who knew medicine They will concoct medicinal herbs here to cure the diseases of the clansmen. Whenever the clansmen come to ask for medicine, they will send a bowl of millet, or a handful of vegetables and fruits, and sometimes they will pick some fresh blooming flowers and plants."

Mi Yue nodded again. The division of labor in the tribe was very clear and reasonable, and the priests did not monopolize the medicinal herb industry with a profit-seeking mentality.

These priests are indeed remarkable.

The voice sighed for a long time, "Later, because of the collapse of the mountain, the clansmen had to move again, and the priests could only move out with the clansmen, so this place fell into the cold. But occasionally there will be a few high priests who leave the tribe. Come here to live. They organize books here and do some research on pharmacology.”

It paused, as if caught in some distant memory.

At this time, Mi Yue had some gloating thoughts, thinking that Sheng Anxi was doomed to be disappointed.His grandmother only knew that Fist Mountain was the tribe's guardian place and a place to hide treasures, but she didn't know that the treasures hidden here were not gold, silver and jewels, but the writings and pharmacology research experience preserved by the high priests of the past dynasties.

Of course, there will be some daily necessities of the year preserved in this particularly suitable environment, but judging by the value of the commodities, I am afraid they will not be satisfied.

"Can I have a look at the books and materials here?"

The other party was silent for a moment, "You are a descendant of the tribe, and you have the right to use the things in the tribe...you can."

Miyue began to push forward, "Can I bring the books and materials here back to the research institute? These things are very, very precious materials, I hope they can be kept in a suitable place, and someone will take good care of them so that they can last longer Pass it down, and more people can see them, sort them out and study them."

The other party was speechless for a long time, as if thinking about his words.

Miyue had no choice but to continue popularizing science about their institute to the aborigines, telling him about the process of studying, the original intention of establishing the institute, and their daily work.

It also talks about the classification in museums, the exhibits displayed in different exhibition halls, and the strict objective conditions in the warehouses where they collect cultural relics.

During this process, the other party has been listening carefully.Miyue felt that it was not trying to perfunctory him, but was really thinking about his words.

That kind of solemn attitude will be imperceptibly fed back to Mi Yue's perception.

After a long time, it slowly said: "Although you are a descendant of the Li clan, I should unconditionally hand over all the guardian things to you, but... I need to think about it and listen to the opinions of other guardian beasts. .”

Mi Yue thought, so they call themselves guardian beasts.

"If possible," Miyue thought for a while, "You and your clansmen can come and visit our working place. Visit the museum's exhibition hall and our warehouse. This kind of understanding will be more intuitive."

Mi Yue didn't just say something casually.With Jing Rong's help, this matter is not inoperable.

Choose a time when the museum is closed and not open to the public, or simply a certain night.The staff explained that those who live in the research institute should not come out after greeting in advance. The issue of museum security guards will be handed over to Jing Rong to negotiate with the local police. The Guardian Beast came to negotiate the transfer of books and materials.

This time, the Guardian Beast thought for a longer time.Then it says, "I need time to think."

Mi Yue nodded, "Okay."

The guardian beast breathed a sigh of relief, "You can go up, the top is the place where the high priest watches the sky at night."

Mi Yue was a little surprised. He thought that the priests in the tribe were all pragmatic. Did they also carry out some superstitious feudal activities while being down-to-earth?

Mi Yue continued to walk up according to the guardian beast's reminder. Slowly, the feeling of air current became obvious, and the wind mixed with the smell of plants brushed over his cheeks, warm and moist.

He began to feel dim light coming through.

The surrounding grottoes also began to show a general outline. The steps leading to the top of the boulder seemed to be a gap formed naturally in the center of the boulder, which was artificially trimmed and steps were laid later.The width of the grotto is about three meters, and there are jagged rocks above the head, and a ray of skylight penetrates in from the exit.

When Mi Yue walked out of the grotto, she felt her mind was shocked instantly.

The bright night sky was upside down above him like a round bowl, and the stars were twinkling, as if they could be touched with one's hand.There was nothing around him, the forests and trees were already asleep in the night, only the distant mountains formed silent silhouettes in the night.

This is the top of Fist Mountain, the exit is covered by rocks, and the rocks at the foot also have a slope to ensure that rainwater will not pour into the grotto.

Mi Yue seems to be walking in an extremely open square, there is no one around, only the insects of Xia Ye can't stop murmuring.

He seemed to have shrunk, turning into a tiny sesame seed on top of a huge pizza.

Seen from a distance, the entire stone mountain is completely in the shape of a mushroom, and the old Wei who guards the entrance of the cave cannot be seen from the top of the canopy.Miyue lost her mind for a while on the top of the mountain, then walked back towards the grotto.

From the dark place to the place where there is light, I didn't feel anything. After returning to the grotto from the top of the mountain, I walked down a section of stone steps. Mi Yue felt that his eyes were darkened, and the steps were very difficult to descend.

Fortunately, the guardian beasts in the grotto were friendly to him, so he wouldn't have any trepidation or fear.

Just as he was touching the stone wall and going down the steps timidly, he suddenly felt that his surroundings became much brighter.He raised his head and saw a small lantern lit up in the darkness above his head.

There are lanterns about the size of an apple. The color is a warm orange-red, but the light it emits is soft bluish-white, like a clear moonlight in a summer night.

Mi Yue watched helplessly as the lantern fell towards him, and then stopped at a height of about four or five meters.

He staggered, and when he raised his head again, he felt that his expression was about to burst... This, what kind of lantern is this, it's obviously Jiao's eyes.

Entrenched here is a real one-eyed dragon who has lived for an unknown number of years.

The voice of the Guardian Beast echoed in his mind, slightly apologetic, "Did it scare you?"

Mi Yue hurriedly said: "I'm not scared, I'm just... a little surprised. Thank you."

Cyclops blinked his lantern eyes, and said with joy in his voice, "You are not afraid of me."

Mi Yue pondered for a while, "Actually, I grew up with all kinds of animals. They accompany me and protect me. I have never been afraid of any animals. On the contrary, it is people...sometimes it is really scary."

"I've heard this before." Cyclops thought for a while, "But I forgot who said it, maybe it was Master Li, maybe it was a priest."

Miyue suddenly felt a feeling of resonance with her ancestors.

"Do you have a name?" Miyue asked it, "What should I call you?"

"Ye." Cyclops said: "I was born at dusk, this character was chosen for me by Mr. Li."

昳, the sun deviates after noon.

"Good name." Mi Yue nodded, feeling that his ancestors were really elegant and cultured.

He asked Ye, "Are the bandits who robbed us still in the cave?"

Ye asked him back, "What do you think?"

Mi Yue was thinking about this question just now when she was still on the top of the mountain.He asked Cyclops in distress, "I don't want to kill people. The feeling of killing people is too painful. But I can't let them out."

They may not be guilty of death, but even if they are locked in prison and cannot be released for ten or eight years, Mi Yue can't rest assured.Because Sheng Anxi is not an ordinary person, even if he is not free, the people and money he can order are enough for him to do some more dangerous things.

For example, continue to search and destroy the ruins of the Xishan tribe.

Or, he may also reveal the secrets of the Xishan tribe and the guardian land to others.

These are things that Mi Yue cannot tolerate.

Cyclops thought for a while and said, "Leave these matters to us. He took away our kind. This hatred must be avenged."

Mi Yue froze for a moment, he wanted to ask Sheng Anxi if they were still in the cave.But I just shut up after thinking about it.

He never felt that people like Sheng Anxi, including his grandmother, were worthy of forgiveness.Adults always have to pay for what they do.

Even if he could intercede for them in front of the Guardian Beast, why would he do it?

He is not the Virgin.

"Oh, that's right." Mi Yue thought of Sheng Anxi, and suddenly thought of his reinforcements, "He even sent a message to his helper, and he will probably be here soon."

The one-eyed dragon let out an "oh" and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. We have been guarding here for too long, and everyone needs some games."
