This island is round, there is a radius of ten miles, not too big and not too small, the mountain peaks on the island are stacked, the low place is more tall and ancient trees, the trees on the high part of the stone wall are slightly shorter due to the lack of water and soil, the stone road turns and falls, winds to the north.
Soon after the journey, Mo Wen discovered that there may be few animals on this island, because there are no traces of animal activity on the island, and some plants and fruits are ripe, but there are no traces of feeding and gnawing.
The width of the stone road is uncertain, the flat place is wide, the twists and turns are narrow, but regardless of the width or narrowness, there will be a stone carving erected on the side of the road every hundred steps, these stone carvings are mostly attacked by wind and rain, the damage and weathering are very serious, the appearance is already unrecognizable, but according to its outline and size, the carving should be a human portrait.
Soon after walking forward, the dragon stopped shyly, and looked sideways at a stone statue by the side of the road, which was relatively well preserved because it was located under the shade of an ancient tree, and it could be seen that it was an angry-eyed man holding a giant axe.
Long looked at it for a moment, turned his head to look at Mo Wen, Mo Wen shook his head slowly, Long Han didn't know the origin of these humanoid stone carvings, he naturally had no way to know, Confucianism worshiped Shang Yan and Huang Emperor, and there was a great insult to Chi You, so there are not many records of Chi You among the hundreds of schools.
The dragon was embarrassed and helpless, so he had to continue to move forward, after bypassing a mountain beam, a large number of stone towers appeared in front of him, these stone towers are located in the flat area of the main peak of the island, which is built by stones, and is lined up in nine rows, the north is small in the south, and the big one on the north side is two zhang high and nearly ten steps wide.
The small one on the south side is only six or seven feet, and two or three steps wide.
These stone towers were built very solidly in those years, although they have survived wind and rain for a long time, they rarely collapsed, Mo Wen looked around, there were nine tower-shaped buildings in the eight rows in front of these nine rows of stone towers, but the row near the mountain was missing two, even the stone towers that collapsed into stone piles were counted, a total of seventy-nine.
The shape of these stone towers is not the same as the wooden tower nowadays, there are only two layers up and down, the lower part is the stone base, the four corners of the middle part are slightly wider and have some upturning, the upper part is the tower body, it is slightly narrower than the stone base, there is a gap on the south side of the tower body, and there is a stone altar in the gap that can be seen in the distance.
The dragon stood shyly on the mountain beam and looked out for a moment, then walked northward, and when he got closer to the front, he looked at a stone tower on the southernmost side, where the humidity was very heavy, and there was a lot of green moss on the stone tower, and even the stone altar placed in the tower was also encroached by green moss.
"Legend has it that the god of war has eight brothers and seventy-two brothers, all of whom died in the battle of Zhuolu, and these stone towers here should be their bones."
Mo Wen guessed.
Long Han turned his head to look at Mo Wen when he heard this, then turned around and moved down the stone altar in the stone tower, and lifted the lid hard, only to see that there were no bones in it, only a little black and gray sticky.
"Too much time has passed, and the skeletons are stored in the open air, and they are mostly disturbed by moisture."
Mo Wen glanced at the things in the altar, and although the things in them no longer had the shape of bones, they could still be seen to be damp ashes.
"We Miao people never cremate."
The dragon was suspicious, so he went to the second row and took another stone altar, and when he opened it, he found that there were still no shaped bones inside, but some gray-white powder, because the stone tower was high above the ground, so the dampness was light, and the ashes did not condense.
"If you look closely at these stone altars, they are no more than a few feet long and only a few inches high, so you can see that the ashes that were stored were burned and not the whole bones."
Mo Wen raised his hand and pointed that although the size of these stone towers is different, the size of the stone altar stored in the tower body is the same.
The dragon looked around with shyness, turned his head to look down at the stone altar in his hand, frowned, put the stone altar back in its place, and took out a short knife to scrape off the moss on the stone tower.
"These jars are not carved out of stone here."
The dragon said after shyly comparing them.
"When the god of war led his brothers and barbarians to fight with the two emperors of Yan and Huang in Zhuolu, Zhuolu is located thousands of miles north of Yecheng, and it is even more distant from here, if the corpse is transported back to his hometown after the defeat, it is not easy for the survivors to transport the ashes back."
Mo Wen shook his head and said, more than 3,000 years ago, there is a lack of written records, so it can only be speculated.
"You know how to do Taoism, can you help me confirm whether these people are our ancestors" Long shyly asked for help, her grandmother died violently, which caused the sacrifice of the Miao people to be broken, and at this time she was desperate to find the lost inheritance.
"If you get the whole bones, you can drop blood to recognize your relatives, but these bones have turned to ashes, and I am afraid that the blood will be useless.
If it hadn't been burned by fire, it would have been possible to peep into the sky and ask the ancestors, but these ashes had been burned by the fire before, and there was no breath at all.
Mo Wen frowned and shook his head, Taoism is reborn and dies, and the corpse will never be cremated, there is nothing more than fire to destroy the residual breath of the corpse, the ashes burned by the fire are just a pile of dust, and all the breath is gone.
Slightly disappointed when he heard this, the dragon turned and walked towards the other stone towers, examining the stone altars one by one, hoping to find the bones in pieces.
Mo Wen did not accompany him, but walked north, the row of stone towers near the mountain on the north side is the tallest, all these stone towers are vertical and horizontal, the largest row of stone towers is missing two, the left and right are empty, there is no collapsed gravel in these two positions, and there is no pedestal, so it can be seen that there were no stone towers before.
Because the nine rows of stone towers correspond vertically and horizontally, so the missing two stone towers are by no means without cause, according to common sense to speculate, the leftmost position should belong to the leader Chi You, the lack of this stone tower is reasonable, because the lower part of the mountain on the north side of the stone tower is smooth and neat, although it is covered by the intricate roots and green moss hanging down from the top trees, but it can still be seen that there is the outline of the stone gate on the mountain, in addition, the fierce breath also comes from the mountain on the north side, so it can be seen that as the leader of the Chi You should be buried in the mausoleum built by the mountain on the north side.
Chi You have a separate mausoleum, so it is not in the arrangement.
The second place on the right is empty, indicating that there were survivors on the barbarian side in the battle of Zhuolu, and this person should be one of Chiyou's eight brothers, and it was this person who brought back the ashes of these people.
"Nope."
Just as Mo Wen looked sideways at the stone wall on the north side, the dragon returned disappointed, three thousand years were exposed, and the stone altar could not preserve the intact bones at all.
"The God of War is the distant ancestor of your Miao people, and his eight brothers must also have names, do you know what the name of the eighth ranking is?"
asked Mo Wen.
"Distant ancestor Li Greed, second ancestor Li Ju, third ancestor Li Lu, fourth ancestor Li Wen, fifth ancestor Li Guang, sixth ancestor Li Wu, seventh ancestor Li Po, eighth ancestor Li Fu, ninth ancestor Li Bi."
The dragon is as ashamed as a few treasures, who will forget his ancestors.
Mo Wen nodded when he heard this, and instead poked out and pointed to the empty space on the right, "In that battle back then, Li Fu of your Jiuli clan may have survived, it was he who brought back the bones of these people from the north. ” "How did you find out?"
asked the dragon, puzzled.
"Just speculation."
Mo Wen knew that Long was anxious to retrieve the broken truth, so he raised his hand and pointed to the north side of the mountain wall, "Your Miao people's altar should be behind this stone gate, and the strange aura on this island is coming from here, if you want to know the truth, you can enter and take a look." ” "Don't worry about me, try to save the fifth child first."
The dragon shook his head shyly and said.
"You wait for me here, I'll look around."

Mo asked Chonglong said shyly.
Long nodded shyly when he heard this, Mo asked about his origin, left here and continued to the north, because he was worried that there was a mistake in the air search, he searched everywhere from the forest, the island was not big, and soon reached the edge of the north side, and turned around to the west, on the west side near the river area, there were hundreds of red bats the size of domestic dogs hanging from an ancient tree near the river area, although the size was not small, but there was no unusually huge one, and finally went to the east, still found nothing.
"How" Ah Jiu saw Mo asking back, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Only this one is big, and everyone else is small."
Mo Wen shook his head slowly.
"We've done our best, and we can't do anything about it, even if we have shortcomings."
Ah Jiu spoke of relief.
"Ugh."
Mo Wen let out a long sigh, and then turned to Ah Jiu and said, "This time I can get the giant bat, the dragon is ashamed and has a lot of credit, you wait for me here for a while, and I will accompany her to the altar." ” "Go ahead."
Ah Jiu nodded.
Mo Wen turned around and headed north, back to the mountain wall.
"Did you find it?"
asked the dragon shyly.
"Heaven's will cannot be disobeyed, and he stops at this creation."
Mo Wen moved to the front of the mountain, looking at this mountain wall, the upper part of this mountain wall has many reservations, the lower part of the area of about two zhang has been flattened, at this time this part of the area has been covered with moss, the roots of the trees born in the upper mountain also extend down and climb on it, close to the ground There is the outline of a stone gate, through the outline of the stone gate is not very large, the stone gate itself appears relatively rough, closed and not tight, otherwise the outline can not be found.
When Mo Wen looked at the stone gate, the dragon shyly cut off the roots of the trees that were attached to the stone gate one by one with a short knife, and then scraped off the moss on the stone gate and the stone gate, this stone door is simple and unpretentious, there is no word or painting on it, it is one zhang high and two, six feet wide and three minutes, the stone gate is slightly concave in the surrounding mountains, there is no door buttress on the left and right, and when the stone door of this style is not opened by pushing and pulling, it is very likely that it is a horizontal movement or a hanging switch up and down.
After inspecting, the two found a circular hole in the stone wall on the right side of the stone gate, this hole was the size of a copper coin, the outer mouth was smooth, and it was not covered by dust.
"I'll go back."
Long shyly pinched the branch and looked at it for a moment, then turned his head and said to Mo Qian.
Mo Wen's face was puzzled when he heard this, and the dragon shyly erected the branch to explain, "The patriarch's scepter is about the same length as this. ” Mo Wen nodded, and accompanied Long to return shyly.
At the entrance of the cave, the dragon shyly lit the torch and returned alone.
"What's wrong" Mo asked when he saw that Ah Jiu had been frowning and looking at the giant bat lying on the ground, so he asked.
"This red bat is so huge, it has reached the extreme of the flying genus, it must not be any bigger, what do you say if it gets the ferocious aura here again?"
asked Ah Jiu.
Mo Wen Wen Yan did not answer, heterogeneous into refinement, all of them are first strong body, and then increase and cultivate, there is always a certain limit to the growth of the body, it is impossible to increase indefinitely, and when the body can no longer be bigger, the absorbed aura will accumulate from the body and turn into its own cultivation.
In other words, the aliens that can transform into humans are the ones whose beast bodies are extremely large, and if they can grow even bigger, the aura they absorb will continue to increase and will not be transformed into cultivation.
"It's been too long."
After groaning, Mo Wen shook his head and said, Ah Jiu's implication is to seal the soul of the old five into the body of the giant bat, and then stay here to continue to absorb the breath of this place until it can transform into a human.
"The length of time is closely related to the strength of the breath received, and a few miles away is not the same as being close at hand."
Ah Jiu raised his finger and pointed here, and then pointed in the direction of due north.
Mo Wen nodded again and again, "I haven't opened the altar yet, I don't know what the situation is, if there is no danger, this method should be feasible":
