"Meaning? Hehe -- "the old man laughed, and the gullies on his face crowded together, which made him look very seeping:" it's meaningless. It's just a tomb chamber used to imprison me. "
There is a secret hidden in the huge and majestic catacombs.
But when the old man talked about all this, he had no feeling of missing or remembering. It seemed that he was simply telling a story, and slowly told the story to the ghosts and others in an appalling slow tone.
About many, many years ago, in a poor and closed area, there lived such a group of people Or, a nation.
This group of people has been living in this area for many years, year after year, generation after generation. Their clothes and customs are different. They live by hunting and farming. Moreover, they are extremely exclusive. When foreigners come here, they will be ostracized. Earlier on, if there are innocent foreigners flowing here, their treatment will be more cruel, and they will directly kill that person.
However, with the progress of the times, this closed nation has to contact with the outside world. They still maintain a high degree of vigilance, distinguish their own people from others, and call themselves Yan.
Yan people have a crazy belief.
Because of the barren and remote areas where the Yan people live, the harvest of the fields is not so good, and they almost all rely on the goodness of God to live. However, the mountains and forests nearby are very lush, and there is a grassland farther north where there are many animals. The Yan people gradually make a living by hunting and grazing, and move further north. Even so, the number of poor Yan people is still less and less year by year. Hunger and cold cover their whole life.
They began to pray to their gods.
It is no longer known what kind of "God" the Yan people believe in. However, all the Yan people believe in this thing crazily. They think that the gods can help them out of their predicament. They think that as long as they continue to believe in gods, all problems will be solved.
According to the custom of the Yan people, every few decades, they will choose a clan leader from a group of new-born children. The clan leader will be the "spokesman" of the gods. The Yan people believe that the gods will attach themselves to their heads and lead them to glory.
Therefore, when the new patriarch election begins, these poor children will receive all kinds of training, they will have the best food and accommodation, but they have to accept all kinds of inhuman training and torture since they learn to walk. They will go hunting alone in the forest from their teens and stay in the forest for more than half a year It doesn't matter if some of them die unfortunately, and there are a lot of substitutes. The children who survive are the final winners.
"I'm the last of those kids to live." The old man in the tree sighed on the way to tell these stories. He was slow for a moment and continued to tell: "yes, when I became the final winner and the next clan leader, I was also the Yan people The beginning of death. "
There are no gods, there are no terrible or magical legends, no one is looking after the Yan people, the existence of the patriarch is just the beginning of a new tragedy.
Due to the lack of population, the Yan people attach great importance to their offspring. Every woman has to give birth to a lot of children. Men even regard these women as a tool to extend their blood. Therefore, it is almost impossible for them to marry. As long as a girl in the family reaches the age of 14, any man in the family has the right to enjoy her. When a woman is no longer a child, he or she will have the right to enjoy her When they have the ability to bear and the constitution, they will even be cruelly abandoned.
Yes, at that time, there was such a woman who was abandoned. She was sick. From the perspective of this backward and closed nation, this was a terminal disease. There was no need to waste precious food on this seriously ill woman. Even though she was pregnant for six months, she was still in a weak state at that time. She was not able to leave her children, especially premature babies It is easy to die and even infect the disease of mother.
Yan people immediately decided to leave her. People were afraid that her strange disease would spread, and they drove her into the forest to let wild animals eat her.
The desperate and extremely weak woman walked in the dark woods with her belly up. She was not lucky. No one would come to save her. So she soon met with the wolves in the woods. The wolves surrounded her and surrounded her. She thought she would die, be torn and eaten, along with the poor, unborn child in her stomach.
But no, the wolves surrounded her, but did not eat her. Yes, it's a miracle. Maybe it's the woman's big belly that makes the leader of the wolf pack realize something. They drive her into their own nest and find wild fruits and water every day, and even some bloody pieces of animal meat for women to eat.
The woman survived. Every night, many female wolves would sleep around her to warm her. Her stomach became bigger and bigger. She knew that she was going to give birth, but she was also dying. She did not know whether she could give birth to this child. She held a female wolf among the wolves, which was the companion of the first wolf. She begged it:"After I die, please let my child live to the world."
God must have heard the voice of the great mother.
The woman always closed her eyes during the birth process, so the wolf rushed up and tore the woman's stomach, and took out the bloody fetus inside. It was a time to be thankful, because the child was alive!
Healthy, complete life.
The children are raised as their own children. Wolves are very protective of their babies. Human babies are slow to develop and move slowly, but they have never been abandoned. They are patient. One child teaches the child everything they can. The children raised by wolves are totally different from ordinary children. He is more fierce and cruel, full of animal nature and can not speak, Only like wolves howl at the moon, can not walk feet, but the action is extraordinary, claws and teeth are very sharp.
But after all, people are human beings. Even if they are raised by wolves, the child is very smart. He soon realized that he was different from wolves. Sometimes he would see the Yan hunters in the forest. He knew that he was just like those humans.
But wolf child has never returned to his own population, his feelings for wolves are deeper, wolves have extraordinary concept of population, this * * also extended to him.
Therefore, wolf children only look at those people far away, spy on them, learn and imitate them secretly, and spy down for a long time. Sometimes he can understand the human words and learn from them. But more, wolf children are no longer willing to explore.
Wolf children are curious about human beings, but they are also full of fear. They can skillfully use fire and various weapons. Even if their reaction, physical strength and physical quality are not as good as wolves, they can still hunt wolves successfully. They are powerful, although wolf children sometimes find that they are far more cruel to their own people than their prey.
When the selection of Yan clan leaders began, more than ten helpless human cubs were sent into the huge woods. The wolf children were temporarily separated from the wolves. He was equally curious about them. He chose one of the human cubs and followed him carefully. This is the first time in his life to try to approach a human.
The young man chosen by wolf child is the last surviving patriarch and regarded as the so-called "God".
After that, it is easy to guess that the young man helped by wolf child survived successfully. He and wolf child became friends. For half a year in the forest, he and wolf children lived together every day. They slept together at night and helped each other to hunt prey in the daytime. The young man teaches wolf children the language of human beings, tells him all kinds of knowledge, and wolf child, he teaches the survival law in this forest.
Half a year passed soon. The Hui days arrived. The young man did not bring the wolf child back to the human residence. He knew that various kinds of clandestine battles and dark tides in his own nation were raging. This was not understood by the simple wolf child. So he was also very clever and soon learned how to protect his friends. Only the young are also young, because of wolf child reasons, the young man is very familiar with the forest, his help let Yan people find that they can hunt prey faster and better!
So the young were soon regarded as the head of the family, and even then, when the hungry season came, the greedy Yan people decided to kill the wolves in the forest in order to get more prey. Although the patriarch strongly opposed it, the Yan people still came down in groups. The head did not want to betray his own nation, but he was unwilling to hurt his friends. He only made the balance of interests and he still acquiesced to the behavior of the people.
His behavior is beyond criticism. After all, he is already a long family. He must consider for his own nation. Since his birth, he has been such a destiny. He is the guardian God of the whole nation. From his birth to adulthood, all the education he received tells him this * * that these fate, not a child raised by wolves, can be reversed.
The head of the clan let his people go, but also made the wolves in a desperate situation. The wolf group where the wolf child was located was destroyed, and his parents who raised him died. The Yan people seized the poor wolf child and brought him back to the human territory.
People fear this wolf child, because of his unique animal nature and terrible and cruel ferocity, people think it must be a vicious ghost! The superstitious Yan people feel that, as long as the ghost is eliminated, the gods will again care for the Yan people and bring them to incomparable glory.
All things are in line, but they are misplaced.
Wolf child was blinded by hatred, and he could not imagine that his only friend trusted betrayed him. But the patriarch was very soft, he secretly let go of wolf children, but also brought his own race unimaginable disaster.
-- the story tells us that the old man in the tree stops. He looks down at the ghost and says to them, "in fact, you can imagine the next thing, the child Ha ha, he took revenge on me crazy. When he returned to the forest, he summoned all the wolves in the forest, even went to the place outside the forest, and gathered his strength desperately. Then he fought with Yan people with a huge team. "The ghost bit his lips and narrowed his eyes. He just wanted to say something. However, Alan next to him took the lead in asking: "did you both lose? Or did you win? Or the wolves win? But why build this tomb? "
"In fact, the battle ended in the victory of mankind." The old man lowered his head and his voice was sad: "yes, I won, but I regret it, because The man I value the most, he died with the destruction of the wolves
"Do you love him?" Asked the ghost.
"I love him." "When I first saw him in the forest, I was convinced by his posture. It was the happiest moment in my life. Nothing was better than that time," the old man said
"That's why I regret it. I regret it very much. It makes me full of hatred. I begin to hate my nation, my people, and I hate them!" At this point, the old man's face gradually twisted, and his silvery hair was shaking around. At the same time, the roots and vines under the feet of ghosts and others began to wriggle violently.
The old man's eyes were split and his voice was fierce, but he burst out laughing: "so on that full moon night, I pretended to be possessed by their so-called" gods ". I told them that the ghosts would haunt others and destroy our nation at any time. Therefore, I instructed them to build a sacred tomb to bury me and him together Together, tell them that the people who have to pay tribute and bury with them every year. The clansmen and clan leaders are funeral objects. I want to make this damned nation disintegrate completely and I want them to disappear from the river of history! I will destroy them with their ridiculous gods
"So Is this the truth of the joint burial? " Duan Li opened his mouth. He did not know when to change the fox mask on his face and replaced it with the ghost's mask. The moral of the mask seems to represent something. The truth is always sad.
The old man looked at Duan Li and suddenly laughed: "my story is over. I know why you came here. I also know that your ultimate goal is to get out of this tomb, right?"
"Will you help us?" The ghost pauses, and he has a glimmer of hope. He has to grasp the tail of this hope and ask carefully.
The old man snorted coldly, continued to sneer and began to roar: "help? This is ridiculous! Don't you understand me? No one can escape from here, from the moment the tomb is closed! This will always belong to me! Everyone in this grave! They can only be my burial objects with him! None of you want to escape! "
"What if I wanted to escape?"
Just after the old man finished his last words, a cool voice suddenly sounded. At the moment when the ghost and others were fascinated by the story, no one found that there were two more people in the huge tomb. Luo Jian and Xing Yan stood beside the ghost and others. Luo Jian took a deep breath, looked up at the old man on the tree trunk, and raised the volume again and said:
"if I want to leave here. Will you let me go? "
The old man suddenly shut up and looked at him stupidly.
The author has something to say: paralysis, the secret room is really longer and longer And the secret room of the underground cave is not written.
