Seeing this, Yin Ling'er was no longer reserved. She first asked why the Acuo patriarch had three different camouflage patterns painted on his face, but the others didn't.
Patriarch Acuo smiled and told her that these three camouflage colors were symbols of the patriarch, and there was a huge meaning behind each color!
As the leader of the clan, he shoulders a heavier burden than ordinary men and women.
The top line is yellow, symbolizing the sun. It was the sun god who gave the ancient Yi people light and allowed all things to grow.
The second color is green, which symbolizes the Tsing Yi God. It was the Tsing Yi God who taught them to raise silkworms and farm mulberry trees, giving them the dignity of being human beings.
The third color is black, which represents Wawu Mountain. This is the mission of the ancient Yi people, who have guarded this sacred mountain for generations and will never abandon it.
Chief Acuo's face is wild and deep, and his eyes are full of determination. He looks particularly charming especially when he talks about the beliefs of his nation.
After asking about the camouflage, Yin Ling'er shrank into my back and whispered: "This place is so dark, Uncle Acuo, have you been here before?"
In fact, this is what I wanted to ask, so I couldn't help but say: "Yes, Chief Acuo, can you show us the way?"
Acuo showed a wry smile: "I'm sorry, my friends, to disappoint you! I admit that every corner of Wawu Mountain is in my heart, but I have never set foot here."
Hearing this, we were all a little discouraged. Chief Acuo continued: "My ancestors once told me that an earth-shattering demon was imprisoned in a cave behind the waterfall. Never be curious and never inquire about it!"
"Because that cave is not only a place where demons are imprisoned, but it is also the tomb of the Qingyi God. There are countless mechanisms hidden in it, as well as holy insects bred by the sun. If it weren't for chasing those guys who don't know how to live or die, I would never take him with me. You guys came in."
Demons, mausoleums, mechanisms, holy insects.
I chewed on the words of Patriarch Acuo over and over, and kept repeating some of the key words. I suddenly understood that the road ahead would definitely not be easy, and everyone must be careful.
Originally, we didn’t expect the leader of Acuo, but we didn’t expect that he would tell us again: “Friends, although I have never been here, Acuo still knows how to get there.”
"Because before each clan leader dies, he will pass a secret to the next clan leader, which is the road map in the waterfall."
This leader of the Acuo tribe really likes to breathe heavily. At first he said it as if there was no hope, but now he said this again.
Yin Ling'er and I and the others were all shocked, and Lao Jiang couldn't help but ask him to stop being so pretentious and lead the way quickly!
Chief Acuo's lips raised slightly: "It's still early, we have just come in, just walk forward in unison."
Sure enough, as he said, this hole was like a tunnel dug into the mountain. We walked forward cautiously for more than ten minutes, but our eyesight was still dark.
Lao Jiang planned to throw another cold firework to provide lighting for everyone. However, at this moment, the Acuo clan leader suddenly stopped him: "Friend, although I don't know what your thing is, I'd better use it sparingly."
Then, the leader of the Acuo tribe actually turned his attention to me and said, "We've arrived! Little brother, walk thirty steps to your west and feel around to see if there is anything dug out of the mountain wall in front of you. Groove.”
As I walked, I counted silently in my mind, one, two, three...twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine.
When I counted to thirty, I reached out and touched the wall, and I really felt a sunken space!
"Is there a torch in there?" Chief Acuo's voice continued to sound.
Everything was as he expected. There were indeed several torches placed in the space. I took out all the torches as he said, lit them and gave them to the Acuo clan leader.
Chief Acuo gave us two and asked us to distribute them among ourselves.
He also kept two of them for himself and shared them with several other mountain guards.
Yin Ling'er was stunned and asked foolishly: "Uncle Acuo, are you a god? How did you know there was a torch in that place? The location is so accurate, can you tell fortunes?"
Chief Acuo shook his head and explained: "Actually, every fifty years, the chiefs of the ancient Yi people would go into the cave to check the seal. This is where they usually store their torches."
So that's it.
Anyway, with the lighting of the torch, our speed was obviously much faster.
Lao Jiang and I were walking at the front of the team. As we walked, suddenly, I saw a terrifying thing. My heart suddenly tightened, and the torch in my hand almost fell to the ground in fear.
I saw a sinister green ghost face at the very front of the cave, staring at me with evil intentions at the moment!
The face was very huge, about five meters tall, with a huge nose rising from the ground and a big mouth extending to both sides.
Two eyes burst out with a faint green light, which was indescribably cold and strange...
"Let's go, boy, why aren't you moving?" Sensing my strangeness, Lao Jiang suddenly turned his head and looked at me.
I pointed at the huge human face in front of me, trembling in my heart: "That... that sealed monster, I saw... he was going to eat us."
Lao Jiang looked at me, then looked ahead. He held a torch and went to investigate at close range. Finally, he laughed sarcastically: "How dare you? There is no monster. It is clearly a huge bronze of the ancient Shu Kingdom." mask."
At this time, the leader of Acuo also followed up. He patted me on the shoulder and comforted me: "This is the sculpture of our ancestors. It will bless you."
When I took a closer look, I saw that it was really an enlarged version of the ancient Shu mask.
However, at this moment, a hysterical scream suddenly came from under our feet. It seemed to come from the bottom of each of our hearts, shaking our souls.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Another monster-like scream came from above, like the sharp claws of a beast tearing through my head and tearing us apart.
The cave began to shake violently, like an earthquake, causing us to sway left and right, and the ground became unstable.
As that voice roared, I felt it becoming more and more terrifying! Its neighing seemed to have a physical shape, and a sharp claw with only white nails had to penetrate into my ear, penetrate my eardrum, and try to pull my blood and nerves out of the ear canal bit by bit. come out.
Fear, fear, trembling, all the cringe-worthy emotions arise spontaneously.
That voice is forcing me to kneel down to it and surrender to it!
He is willing to sacrifice his life and even his soul.
My knees almost buckled, but I didn't want to admit defeat. Only the hot feeling between my eyebrows allowed me to maintain my last bit of sanity.
The mantra for clearing the heart taught by Mr. Feng when I was in Dunhuang came to mind: "If your heart is as clear as ice, you won't be surprised if the sky falls!"
"Things are changing but still stable, the spirit is refreshing and the energy is calm!"
But it was of no use at all. The sound was so loud that my teeth chattered, and I stuttered and couldn't read out at all.
I immediately shouted: "Silver...Ling'er, insect, release your...insect quickly."
From behind came Yin Ling'er's crying voice: "It's over, they are so frightened that they are all trembling in the bamboo basket and dare not come out!"
