Tomb Raiders: After living in seclusion for a hundred years, my little brother invited me out!

Chapter 378

Zhang Yang looked at the small characters on the side, which were in the unique font of the Zhang family, and only those who were familiar with them could translate them.

For Zhang Yang, this is naturally within his reach.

"Zhang Guihe."

Zhang Yang read it in a low voice.

The time of birth and death is also noted on the above, and this person lived to be 125 years old.

Zhang Yang was slightly taken aback. Didn't the family members say they possessed the secret technique of immortality?
How could these people die?
Was it natural death or something else?

Zhang Yang was even more curious about this.

Suddenly, on the bottom line of the small wooden box, I saw the cause of death.

This aroused Zhang Yangqi's interest. After a closer look, it read: Died for the tribe, killed by the rebels.

What do you mean?
Zhang Yang obviously didn't understand very well.

The Zhang family is considered an extremely powerful figure in this era, and it is almost impossible for them to be killed by the so-called rebels.

Everyone in the Zhang family has unique skills, how could they die in the hands of others.

Zhang Yang looked at several small wooden boxes in a row, and all the causes of death were written in this way.

Rebels?

I'm afraid this rebel army is not an ordinary 'rebel army' at all.

This made another branch of the Zhang family appear in Zhang Yang's mind.

In fact, there are two branches in the Zhang family's family.

One branch is pure Zhang family lineage, all of them are children born of intermarriage within the family, and unicorn tattoos will appear on their bodies.

This is recognized by the Zhang family and has a very high status. Generally, the head of the family selected by the Zhang family must be a person with a unicorn tattoo.

The other branch is the Zhang family of mixed blood. The so-called mixed blood is only half of the blood of the Zhang family and half of the blood of foreigners.

The tattoos on these people are not unicorns, but 'qiongqi' patterns.

It is said that Master Zhang Dafo of the Old Nine Gates had a tattoo of "Qing Qi" on his body, so he was invincible and stood firm in the Old Nine Gates.

Although Qiongqi is not as powerful as the 'Kirin', it is an ancient mythical beast and the king of evil. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Qishan succeeded in robbing tombs many times later.

Although it is said that Zhang Qishan is not a threat to the members of the Zhang family, other clansmen who have the same Qiongqi tattoo as him are eager to replace the person with the unicorn tattoo and become a family one day.

To put it bluntly, the children of the concubine want to kill the children of the concubine, let themselves sit on the throne, and want to occupy a place among the clansmen.

This is naturally not allowed in the Zhang family, which has intermarried within the family all the year round and pays attention to the original blood.

Therefore, the two Zhang families started a war that lasted for more than ten years.

However, the Zhang family with unicorn tattoos has never been very fond of Zhan Luan, so they are always moving and changing places, the purpose is to avoid the troublesome Zhang family with Qiongqi tattoos.

This is also one of the reasons why the footprints of the Zhangjia Drum Tower can be seen everywhere, but they are still unable to be found.

Everyone in the Zhang family has a unique secret technique, which cannot be learned by ordinary people.

"Sir, are these dead people?"

Aolong looked at Zhang Yang who was silent, and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Ah."

Zhang Yang nodded, then took out the Big Dipper dagger beside him, and closed the urn that had just been opened.

It is said that the dead are the greatest, and some respect should be given.

"Go down and have a look."

As Zhang Yang jumped, the man had already landed on the ground.

Aolong turned around and was about to jump, but was dragged by the corner of his clothes by the giant African rat, and said pitifully:

"Brother, can I not go down?"

As he spoke, the legs of the giant African rat began to tremble slightly.

"Are you still afraid?"

Aolong obviously didn't believe it.

He had experienced the ability of this giant African rat before, so how could he be afraid at such a height.

The giant African rat pointed to a stone statue below and said:

"That thing down there seems to be alive."

Aolong turned his head to look, at this time Zhang Yang had already stopped in front of the stone statue.

Without any words, he grabbed the African giant rat and jumped directly.

At this time Zhang Yang stood in front of the stone statue with a thoughtful expression on his face.

This is a bronze statue of a turtle with a human face, but the turtle's neck and limbs are very long, which looks a little weird.

Human face and turtle body?

Zhang Yang was slightly taken aback. The tortoise's forelimb ends were in the shape of a human hand, while its hind limbs were tortoise feet.

The entire face is also a female face, but this face looks a little sinister and vicious, with a smile that is not a smile, so that people can't help but feel the illusion that the hairs are standing upside down.

There is also a huge depression on the back of this human-faced turtle, and inside it is placed a black ball with human faces carved on it, so densely packed that it is impossible to count them.

What is this?
Zhang Yang was really puzzled.

"Sir, this, this seems to be a portrait of the Ren Kingdom, a descendant of the Shennong clan."

Aolong opened his mouth in surprise.

Hearing this, Zhang Yang suddenly realized, isn't this ghost with a human face the descendant of the rumored Shennong clan?
Therefore, not only the members of the Zhang family were buried in the third floor, but also a stone statue of a descendant of the Shennong family.

I remember that the "Taiping Yulan" quoted "Customs" and said that the primitive people at that time lived in groups, polygamous, and had chaotic births.

At that time, in order to make the fertility clear, Nu Wa asked each group living cave to make clay dolls for the purpose of counting the number.

Among them, the clay dolls used by the Shennong Kingdom were human with a turtle body, and later this kind of human-faced turtle-body figure became the national emblem of the Shennong Kingdom.

However, what Zhang Yang couldn't figure out was, why did this thing appear in the Drum Tower of the Zhang Family?

This thing only appeared in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and it suddenly appeared here now, which is indeed incredible.

Is this thing put here by the Zhang family's tomb robbers?
Or, in fact, this family already existed during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?
However, this history is too long, and there is no way to verify it.

If this thing is taken out now, there may not be a few people who know it.

Since the Zhang family put this thing here, they must have other intentions.

Subconsciously, Zhang Yang's eyes fell on the black ball behind the turtle body with the human face.

The human faces on it reminded Zhang Yang that there were countless weird faces in the coffin when he was buried at the bottom of the sea.

It seems that there is an inseparable connection between the two.

But Zhang Yang couldn't think of anything for a while.

It would be great if this system exists, and we can popularize relevant information at that time.

"Mom."

Suddenly, the giant African rat not far away sat down on the ground, trembling all over.

"what happened?"

Zhang Yang turned his head to look at the frightened giant African rat on the ground.

"Zhang, Mr. Zhang, the stone statue's eyes seem to be moving."

The giant African rat pointed to the eyes of the human-faced turtle, his face pale.
