World Tibet Bureau

Everyone began to stagger forward.

But I took a few steps.

Lu Cenyin suddenly told everyone to stop.

What she meant was that all our previous inferences were based on the assumption that Qubi and others passed through the remains of witch culture in a drunken manner. But if this assumption is wrong and we rush in like this, the consequences will be unimaginable. Should we be more cautious? think about it.

Lu Cenyin thought very carefully.

If such consequences occur, we simply cannot bear it.

But now there seems to be no other way.

What Xia Xi means is that if a person dies with his eggs in the sky, he will not die for tens of millions of years. First, he can go out and live for a while. If he is afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, is it possible that he has to go back?

I scratched my head, turned around and saw the flying cat monkeys following Xiaozhu. On a whim, I asked Xiaozhu: "Can they understand what you are saying?"

Xiaozhu replied: "No, no, no... I know."

I said: "Let them try..."

Xiaozhu replied: "Okay, okay..."

She stammered and explained to the flying cats and monkeys.

I don’t know if they understood it.

Anyway, it seemed like they understood Xiaozhu's meaning.

I feel that the flying cat monkeys live near here, and they must often shuttle back and forth as relics of the shamanic culture, but they may not necessarily walk past. After all, they have another ability, which is to glide. If you want to get there, just fly directly.

Xiaozhu is going to give them herbs.

But they ran away without looking back.

Several people looked at each other, wondering what was going on. Could it be that they knew we asked them to kill people and ran away in anger?

I don't know why.

After a while, the sound of monkey footsteps came from behind.

A large number of flying cat monkeys came over, including the old flying cat monkey that was rescued by President Liu. They all held in their mouths the kind of herbs that President Liu found before, and chewed them in their mouths. After chewing for a while, , the old flying cat monkey gave an order with a whistle from his mouth, and all the monkeys rushed into the witch cultural relics like soldiers who heard the charging horn.

The old flying cat monkey limped up to President Liu, waved to him, and muttered something.

President Liu didn't understand, so he turned to Xiaozhu and asked, "What... does it mean?"

Xiaozhu replied: "No, no, no... I know."

President Liu scratched his head and looked at it at a loss.

The old flying cat monkey jumped twice, picked up the herb with his hand, motioned to President Liu to put it in his mouth, and then turned around, asking us to follow him.

What the hell!

It should let us learn to eat herbs and then follow its lead.

It seems that they also used this method to pass through the remains of witchcraft culture.

President Liu quickly took out the herbs and indicated that he had eaten them.

at this time.

The flying cats and monkeys that ran into the building complex before may have seen that their king did not follow them, so they all staggered out and looked at us with confused faces.

It has been determined that there is no problem!

I gave the order to set off again. Everyone followed the old flying cat and monkey and entered the remains of witch culture.

I didn’t know until I entered.

This community is actually very large, with ruins everywhere, and there are a lot of gray-black things inside, like animal bones, and some black shells. Some of the walls have rough and primitive marks like children's graffiti. .

Although our heads are dizzy, our basic judgment is still there.

President Liu was extremely excited and looked left and right.

even.

When we arrived at the middle of the building complex, seeing that there were no problems all the way, this guy couldn't help it anymore and turned around to pick up shells.

Xia Xi and I were shocked. We both raised our feet at the same time and kicked President Liu hard.

President Liu was so angry that he wanted to slap us with a fan, but seeing our fierce looks, he probably felt that he couldn't beat us, so he had to endure it and continued to move forward unsteadily in anger.

but.

When the old flying cat monkey saw President Liu's appearance, he actually directed several flying cat monkeys to pick up a few pieces of black shells. Some of them even glided over and got some weird things on the stone pillars and gave them to them. President Liu.

President Liu was very happy and gave a thumbs up to Feimaohou: "Niu Niu Niu Niu..."

We didn't dare to walk randomly along the way and followed the path led by the old flying cat monkey.

The arrangement of the buildings looks chaotic, but there seems to be some kind of pattern. I can't tell what the pattern is specifically. After walking like this for more than an hour, we were escorted by the flying cat monkeys and finally counted twelve Zuwu architectural complex.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the Twelve Ancestral Witch Building Complex, the old flying cat monkey seemed to be very afraid of the front and did not dare to move forward. He greeted us a few times and quickly returned with his younger brothers.

As I expected before.

Instead of walking, they chose to glide back. The flying cats and monkeys were like dense drones, gliding back with a huff, and soon disappeared.

President Liu took out another herbal medicine and asked everyone to chew it.

After chewing.

It was like taking a powerful hangover pill and we were back to normal in no time.

President Liu took out what Feimaohou gave him and looked at it carefully.

"It's actually a bone shell!"

We hurried over to take a look. Although the appearance was dark, we could see that they were indeed several bone shells with rough holes on them, which should have been used by ancient people to tie ropes.

Anyone who is familiar with the history of currency development knows that currency has gone through three stages. The first is natural currency, such as shell coins, salt coins, animal skin (cloth) coins, etc.; the second is metal currency, minted coins such as gold, silver, copper, and iron; Paper money, Jiaozi, Huizi, banknotes, etc.

Shell coins are one of the oldest trading tools, with "pen" as the unit of calculation. Five shells are one string, and two strings are one pen.

But shellfish are generally only found on the coastline, and there are relatively few inland. For this reason, smart ancients invented a kind of "bone shell".

The so-called bone shell refers to grinding bones into the shape of shells and using them for trade.

Chairman Liu shook his fan and said excitedly: "In "Shuowen·Beibu", there is a saying: 'In ancient times, shells were used to sell shells and precious turtles were used. There were springs around, and in the Qin Dynasty, shells were used to make money.' Bone shells are our earliest currency. , appeared about four thousand years ago, that is, the Xia Dynasty, and it was not until Qin unified the six kingdoms that shell coins were gradually abolished."

"This is enough to prove that the age of the witch cultural relics is at least in Xia or before Xia! We have previously analyzed that there is a tomb of the sun and moon in the Witch's Nest. The construction of the ancient tomb should be in the same period as the witch cultural relics. It’s even earlier than the relics of shaman culture! Everyone, we may reach the core of the most ancient and splendid civilization next, so we are really gratified!”

Xia Xi pondered for a while, pointed to the shells and said, "I'm not that optimistic."
