"In the past, the locals here called the shadows in these stones Miloot." The ghost said, "We always thought that they meant that these things in the stone were Milotuo, but later through the textual research of ancient books, We found that we misunderstood. Miluotuo does not refer to these things. Miluotuo means old grandmother in the language of the Yao people. They refer to Miluotuo as the entire mountain here. "

"Mountain?" I agree.

"Mountains are the old grandmothers. These shadows are the children born by the old grandmothers. When we arrived here, the Yao people were not fully civilized. They still attached great importance to the taboo part of their culture. , Some of the best hunters here will have a strange tattoo on their bodies when they reach adulthood. The tattoo design is a unicorn-like animal. We made a deep backstepping of this behavior in the early stage. Evolution and understanding of some legends, we found that the origin of this tattoo has two very important points.

"The first point comes from the tattoo masters of the Han nationality. According to the legend of the local elderly, their tattoos were not like this at the beginning. Both the tattoo technique and the shape of the tattoo are very simple and original. Later came a Han nationality. Tattoo master, slowly taught here, and finally the tattoo became like this.

"When did this Han tattoo master come to Banai? According to their speculation, it should be in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There is very little information about him. There is only one legend saying that he came to avoid sin, but it cannot be verified. But this is not important. We first learned a message that in the past thousand years, this tattoo has been improved by a Chinese.

"So, no one knows what the previous tattoo looked like. However, luckily, in our next investigation, we got some circumstantial information from other Yao villages.

"It is said that the tattoo of the Banai Hunter is limited by regions. It is rumored that only hunters who hunt deep in the Yangjiao Mountain need to get a tattoo. In the mind of the Cuban Nai people, this and other places in the Yangjiao Mountain seem to be different.

"The second point is, what is the point of tattooing this tattoo?"

"Is it evil spirits? Our folk experts rejected this statement. Because if it is evil spirit patterns, there should be a corresponding cultural heritage in the village, but when asked the villagers, no one knows the use of tattoos, just say It ’s a custom. Moreover, the pattern of warding off evil ca n’t be changed. If a master of the Han nationality changes the pattern, it ’s an event that can wipe out the clan, and it ’s good if the master is not skinned.

"A lot of twists and turns happened during the examination process. At that time, the examination work of that generation was very powerful. The real masters of the previous generation were still alive. If you want to ask, there are always some clues. The retention is slightly better, so we finally found the reason.

"That tattoo is a very precise topographic map, of course not in the present sense, but the ancient Yaomin has found the safest hunting road in that area after countless attempts on that land. The road is very complicated. In an era without maps and words, the ancient Yaomin stabbed him.

"The tattoo at that time was just to record the route briefly. Later, due to various historical reasons such as wars, the original intention of the tattoo was forgotten and became a custom without cause. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, one had fled into Yao Village The skills of the Han people with tattoos have improved these rough patterns, and finally they have become such tattoos. "

"So, the tattoo on the Banai hunter is actually the route of the ancient Yao road." I remembered the tattoo of the stuffy oil bottle, and I can't think too thin for the time being, but I know this ghost image should be right, We have also found this.

"Later, when we entered the area of ​​Yangjiao Mountain, we gradually had a doubt." He said, "Why do you want to stab the route on your body, can't you remember it? Or, if the mountain road here is complicated and mysterious to this If it ’s not enough, why not? Why do you have to go in? If the place where an iron ore is located is very difficult to access, and it takes one kilogram of gold to extract one kilogram of iron, why do you have to mine it? "

"Really so complicated?" I can't remember the details of the oil bottle tattoo, but I do have the impression that the tattoo is quite complicated.

"It's so complicated that it's impossible for people to remember with their minds or instincts. If it's not for the tattoo map on their body, the hunter will certainly give up if he can't reach one-third of the distance. That road is too difficult to go." Ghost Shadow Tao said, "In this world, there is only one person who can walk that way without that tattoo."

At that time, they tried to find the end of this ancient road based on this tattoo map, because they found that this ancient road had no hunting value. Gu Yaomin spent so much energy to get through this ancient path, obviously for something more important.

They were working on the archaeological project of the Zhangjia Ancient Building at that time, and naturally thought of the two in one place. They speculate that the location of the Zhangjia Ancient Building must be related to the very important things mapped on this tattoo map.

So, the team where the ghost was located began to explore the ancient road mapped on the tattoo map.

But what they did not expect was that the ancient road did not end, and the whole road was a closed ring.

"What does this have to do with this mountain?" The fat man said impatiently. Because of the evaporation of water vapor, the shadow on the wall has gradually faded.

"Don't you understand yet?" Ghost said, stepping on the foot.

We bowed our heads, and after a while I reacted: "This is the ancient road?"

"Yes, this ancient road has always been built against mountain rocks. Almost all the ancient road sections are on the edge of the mountain rocks, and all the mountain rocks near the ancient roads are all like this. The entire ancient road seems to be a very complicated spell The pattern encircles the entire mountain here. All these Miluotians are only in this circle. They swim very slowly in the rocks, but when they reach the edge of the stone path, they can no longer get out. "

"Yes ... a little interesting, continue to say." The fat man seems to be feeling alive.

"This ancient road is like a fence?"

"Yes, ancient Yao people seem to be raising these things." Ghost said, "This is our conclusion. Some people further speculate that these ancient roads of Yao people are like scratches on rubber trees. They follow these roads and put The skin of the mountain is cut off. These Miluotu are very sensitive to heat sources, so raising a stove near the mountain path can lead them to the surface of the mountain to dig out these monsters. We do n’t know why these monsters are generated in the mountains, I do n’t know what it ’s worth, but there are many signs that the Yao people did just that. "

"Are all the beautiful girls raised?" The fat man touched his chin. "That's a good feeling. I can't think of people here who also have this amazing technique."

"You haven't seen these monsters, they are green like a beer bottle, even a girl, do you have to go?" I couldn't help crying.

"The ones we have seen may not be well developed yet. When Bai Suzhen is not well developed, the lower body is not a big tail." Fatty said, "Fatty, I don't have any taboos. Green is green, anyway, it's not a green hat. "

I shook my head and looked at the ghost. Nothing could be seen on the ghost's face. He continued: "The problem is, since it's feeding, what does Miloot eat?" The ghost extinguished the torch and went back, "Wu Three provinces, you know what I want to say. "
