I stared at her, and she stared at me. With the sparse sound of rain in the woods, the atmosphere gradually became tense.
"Don't do it! Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" Brother Biao hurried over, shouting as he ran.
"Brother! It's all a misunderstanding! Listen to our explanation!"
"Okay! Say it! If you can't convince me, we will go our separate ways today! You take your Yangguan Road, and I'll cross our single-plank bridge!"
Brother Biao's expression changed, and he hesitated for two minutes without saying anything.
I turned around and left immediately.
Brother Biao was anxious. He ran over and grabbed me and said, "Brother! None of us have any secrets! Do you dare to say that you have no secrets to hide from us?"
"Damn it! I, Zhang Biao, swear to God! I will never harm you!"
"Yes! That's right! We have a secret!"
"Brother, if you must know! I can tell you! But" Brother Biao's face turned cold: "But I'm afraid that once you find out, you will give up halfway and get scared!"
I sneered contemptuously: "Afraid? I've never been afraid of anything in my fucking life, Xiang Yunfeng!"
"If I were afraid, I would have stopped joining this profession a few years ago! I even robbed a tomb in front of the fucking police station! What am I afraid of!"
Brother Biao patted me: "Don't get excited. I've actually guessed that you are local masters a long time ago, but there are some things that don't mean you won't be afraid if you are brave. I'll ask again, are you sure you want to know? If I tell you
, you have to keep it a secret for me."
"explain!"
Brother Biao turned his head and glanced at Sister Zami Wang, and took two deep breaths.
"Brother, do you still remember that I told you before I came here that the husband of fat aunt Mingmi fell to his death while hunting last year?"
I nodded and said I remember.
Brother Biao's eyes were solemn and he added: "I didn't lie to you, Mingmi's husband did fall to death, we buried him."
"etc"
I heard something was wrong and immediately asked: "The person you mentioned died a year ago, but didn't your tribe start burying all their dead in tree burials in the red pine forest three years ago? Why did you bury them alone in the red pine forest?"
Was he buried?"
"Yes, brother, you are right."
"The reason why we bury people in the ground is because according to the requirements that July Clan forced us to make corpse wax, the body must have complete hands and feet."
"Mingmi's husband was not discovered until three days after his accident. When we found him, his right hand was missing, his internal organs were hollowed out, and he was eaten by wild animals. Therefore, he could not be buried in the red pine forest and had to be buried in the ground."
I nodded, reluctantly agreeing with this statement, and motioned for him to continue.
At this moment, Brother Biao's thoughts seemed to suddenly return to the day of the incident.
With deep fear in his eyes, he said to me: "I can't forget it even if I close my eyes. I was buried the day before, but the next day, Mingmi's husband walked back by himself and came back to see the fat aunt."
"You came back? No one died?"
"It's impossible. His intestines were dragged all over the mountain, and his heart, spleen and stomach were gone. How could he not be dead? To be more precise, he didn't come back on foot, he came back on a horse."
Brother Biao's teeth chattered: "It was a pure black tall horse. That night, Mingmi's husband was wearing a black armor. His face was like a piece of paper, and he rode back."
"Many people saw it, and the people in the tribe were frightened. When we talked to him, he still reacted while riding on the horse."
"The witch doctor said it was cursed by the dead, and the only way to stop it was to cut off the head."
Brother Biao closed his eyes and didn't want to say the next words, as if he hadn't gotten over the horrific memories of that night. After hearing this, the first reaction in my mind was not to listen to it as a story, but to suddenly appear.
Three words.
"Iron kite."
I immediately asked: "Were there any iron chains on the horses that night?"
"I didn't tell you this! How did you know!" Brother Biao was shocked.
I recalled someone, someone I had almost forgotten.
Qin Xingping.
Two years ago, we followed Qin Xingping to Helan Mountain for the first time and stayed at the home of a comrade of his who owned a restaurant. That person seemed to be called Lao Wang. When we left, Lao Wang's wife gave Xiaoxuan a particularly beautiful Hui handicraft.
Little vest.
From the mouth of local Lao Wang, I heard the legends of Blackwater City, July Climb, Black General and Iron Kitten for the first time.
Genghis Khan, who was invincible and destroyed countless countries, fought six times before conquering Xixia. The last time he used siege tactics, it is said that the Mongolian soldiers were blocked by iron kite soldiers.
Of course, this matter cannot be tested, it is just a legend spread at the foot of Helan Mountain.
"Brother? Hey! Brother!"
"what happened to you?"
I came to my senses and waved my hands to say it was okay.
"Just because we all saw it really, now you know, right? Why are the leaders and the people in the tribe afraid of the July Climb?"
"According to what you said, if you chop off a person's head, everything will be fine?"
Brother Biao looked at me and nodded: "Probably."
None of us can go back to the past. That era is too far away. The now famous Jingjue Kingdom in the desert is just a branch of the ancient Qiang. Compared with the entire ancient Qiang ethnic group, the Jingjue Kingdom is only as big as a fingernail.
.
The ancient Qiang people worshiped nature, ghosts, gods, and animals, and did not believe in reincarnation and cause and effect. They left too many unsolved mysteries. History books say that at that time, the ancient Qiang tribe had a giant troop wearing leather armor, with an average height of two meters.
Five or more. What was the average height of the Han people in the Central Plains at that time? One meter six? One meter seven would be considered tall.
When many people hear this, they think it is nonsense.
Until 2005, in Tarim, Alar City, a mysterious group of ancient tombs suddenly appeared in the ancient river, which is the famous "Ancient Qiang and Kunggang Tombs Group".
In this tomb, giant weapons were unearthed, and several complete human skeletons with a height of more than 2 meters were unearthed. Thousands of years later, the length of the bare skeleton exceeded two meters! This is physical evidence! It proves what is recorded in the history books.
The Qiang giant army really existed.
Damn, the giants have been dug out of the ground. If someone one day tells me that elves have been dug out somewhere, I will accept it.
We are exploring and crossing the river by feeling for the stones. The country of Xiwu'er is full of mystery and unknowns, without any reference material.
I know that it was this mysterious feeling that deeply attracted Boutou, causing him to take us here to find out.
At this moment in the woods, Sister Zami Wang suddenly pulled off the horns and sacrum. She walked quickly to my side, said a few Sherpa words to me, and then left with the horns and sacrum on her shoulders.
"what did she say?"
Brother Biao looked a little unnatural and hesitated: "If it's not very good, are you sure you want to know?"
Seeing me nodding, Brother Biao immediately said: "That's not what I said, I was just translating the original words."
"She said you are not a man, let alone a mighty warrior, and you don't have a xxx."
