Chapter 143 The so-called eternal life

As soon as I talked about the horror of being possessed by a Chi Gu mask, I immediately saw a huge mask.

The fat man's eyes widened, he pulled Wu Xie over and pointed to the side of the place he just occupied: "Face! There is another face there!"

Wu Xie looked back sharply and was stunned.

They just entered a passage, and then there were some murals carved on the stone walls of the passage.

Those murals extend deep into the passage.

The fat man might have been frightened by the mask just mentioned, or he might have been too focused. As a result, when he saw the faces on the murals, he subconsciously thought they were the faces just now.

"It's okay, it's a mural!" Wu Xie said, looking at it as he walked.

Before you know it, after reading the murals, you have also finished walking through the passage.

Except for Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling, Fatty and Lao Itch were all confused and didn't know what the mural meant.

Not to mention Fatty and the others, Wu Xie was confused at first and could only make vague guesses.

"Innocent, what does this mural mean?"

Wu Xie didn't answer, he looked at Zhang Qiling.

"Brother, do you understand?"

Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling. Although there was no change in his face, Wu Xie sensitively caught the momentary change in his mood.

Maybe it has something to do with the things he protects!

After Wu Xie saw the murals, even Meng Dai had a rough idea, but he just wanted Zhang Qiling to talk more.

However, Zhang Qiling is still the same Zhang Qiling, very individual.

After just saying two words, he didn't speak again.

It’s really Zhang Qiling! ! !

"Longevity..."

"What? Immortality? Is the secret of immortality painted here?"

Fatty couldn’t believe it!

But the old one was excited and his reaction was very strange.

"What's going on? Xiaozhenzhen, is there really immortality? Do you believe it?"

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. Anyway, what is depicted in those murals is a story about immortality."

Even though he said that, Wu Xie's face didn't look good either.

Therefore, Wu Xie roughly organized what he understood from those murals and described it in the simplest and most understandable language.

The rough meaning is:

In ancient times, a mysterious ethnic minority tribe lived in the Qinling Mountains. The living conditions were difficult and the natural environment was harsh.

Human beings cannot compete with the power of nature and heaven.

Therefore, the mortality rate in the tribe is very high, including those who die of illness and old age.

People die every day, and of course, at least half of them are caused by illness.

The ancestors of the tribe could not bear to see their loved ones die, and they also deeply believed that the souls of people still exist in the world after death.

It just exists in another way.

Therefore, the ancestors of those tribes used the bodies of their deceased relatives to raise Gu.

The cultivated Gu is Chi Gu!

While they used the corpses of their relatives to raise Gu, they also raised some monkeys.

Then the appearance of the deceased relative was carved into a mask.

After the chives are grown, they cling to the masks. Later, the chive masks are attached to the monkeys' faces and used as hosts to foster them.

In the eyes of those ancestors, these were their relatives, just immortalized in another form.

Wu Xie paused when he said this, and both Fatty and Lao Itch felt horrified.

"Nah! Since ancient times, isn't it true that the dead are the most important thing and should be buried in peace?"

"What on earth were these ancestors thinking, and why did they think of using the corpses of their relatives to raise Gu? Don't you think it's a bit cruel?"

The fat man shuddered after hearing what Wu Xie said.

Even though I feel nothing after death, it still feels gross to think about my body being used to cultivate such disgusting poison.

"But that's not right! Over time, those monkeys will die too!"

"In the end, it won't be the same result. Those so-called relatives who were parasitized by the Gu will still leave."

When Lao Itch heard about this kind of eternal life, he couldn't help but ask, is this eternal life?

If this is eternal life, who dares to ask for it? ?

Why was he so excited just now, thinking that he really had eternal life!

"Did you listen to half and half? Didn't you hear what Tianzhen said just now that after their parasitic host dies, they will still look for the next host!"

"Do you understand what this means? They can be parasitic as long as they want..."

The fat man couldn't help but attack the old itch.

Don't think he didn't see it. When Xiaozhen was talking about immortality just now, his bright eyes showed that he was obviously uneasy and kind-hearted.

"The fat man is right. They can be parasitic indefinitely. As long as there are animals or humans close to them, they will become their parasitic hosts."

"This is what the ancestors of the tribe called eternal life."

After listening to Wu Xie's words, everyone felt their scalps go numb.

Superstition kills people! Even if you die, you can't live in peace.

"If you die, you will die! Can't you still be reincarnated? And you still want to practice this so-called eternal life."

Extremely ignorant!

"Then...what's the matter with those monkeys being able to laugh like humans? Could it be that they really have some kind of parasitic soul?"

Fatty said half-jokingly.

"Do you think it's possible? Young people, you must believe in science." Wu Xie cursed with a smile.

"As for why those monkeys can laugh like humans, maybe there is something special about those masks! I don't know very well."

This kind of immortality is too incredible.

Fatty and the others are still digesting it, so no one speaks for a long time.

In fact, Wu Xie omitted part of the story.

The reason why the ancestors of those tribes pursued immortality is because they need to protect something from generation to generation.

But what they are protecting is not drawn on the murals.

Wu Xie and the others are now standing at the last few murals.

The murals are divided into two sides, as if they are confronting each other, as if it is a war.

The two figures on the murals are very distinct. One side is dressed simply, which should be the ancestors of the tribe, and the other side is wearing armor.

"Hey! Judging from the meaning of this painting, it seems that the ancestors are seriously injured! Judging from the meaning of this painting, they seem to be protecting something, right?"

Fatty may not understand the ancient characters, but these descriptions of the paintings can be roughly understood by guessing.

"And the description in this painting, the group of armored people who hurt those ancestors seemed to be invulnerable."

"But... the next painting says that these invulnerable monsters were injured by some strange power..."

"Little naive, is it what I said?"

Wu Xie didn't quite understand those paintings at first, but after Fatty's words, he seemed to suddenly understand...

Guardian? Invulnerable?

And when he met Uncle Tai's group, the little brother mentioned the Bu Yan Qi.

It should be the conclusion drawn from the Hemu Collection.

The Bu Yan Qi mentioned should be the mysterious treasure hunting team of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Combined with these murals.

Wu Xie seemed to understand something.

It is rumored that the mysterious treasure hunting team of the Northern Wei Dynasty was wearing copper helmets and iron armor, so they were regarded as invulnerable monsters by the ancestors.

They should have found the things that the ancestors of the tribe guarded.

But in the end, they should have been injured by the things that the ancestors guarded when they were in action.

So, did the mysterious treasure-hunting troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty suddenly disappear in Qinling?

What kind of mysterious power does that thing have? It can kill a fully armed elite force...
