Chapter 275 The people of the island

Just hear a clang.
With his sword in his hand, Liu Hou chopped down the entire tree to his waist.
The tree tilted and its branches and leaves fell to the ground.
Covered his eyes.
He drew his sword and struck out again.
There was a crisp sound.
The sword collided with the metal instrument, causing sparks.
A few sparks illuminate the hidden man's face.
Then it fell into darkness again.
Liu Hou's sword entangled him, and the hidden man kept blocking his attacks.
It seemed a little rushed.
Soon, Liu Hou completely forced him out.
It's better to say it's him than it is her.
It's a girl.
He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, similar to Ou Youhan's age.
Wearing strange black clothes.
It doesn't look like fabric.
Instead, it looks more like fish skin.
"Fish leather jacket?"
Liu Hou was stunned.
Using fish skin to make clothes has indeed been inherited along the Yangtze River since ancient times.
But it has long been lost now.
Occasionally, you can see one or two pieces, which are called intangible cultural heritage.
Extremely precious.
Ou Youhan held up a white lantern and shined it on the girl's face.
Exclaimed.
Although this girl is not very beautiful, her figure is perfectly outlined by the fish leather clothing.
It is convex where it should be convex and concave where it should be concave.
None of the big international brands have such good results.
The girl has long black hair and big dark eyes.
Years of exposure to the sun and rain have left her skin, which is not covered by fish skin clothing, with a bronze color.
Although he was subdued by Liu Hou, he still looked stubborn and refused to admit defeat.
Liu Hou took one look at the girl's dress and put the sword back.
This girl should not be part of the black-robed Taoist group.
More like the natives of this island.
"What do you want to do when you follow us all the way here?"
Liu Hou asked.
"You killed the bad guy and you are a good guy."
the girl said.
Liu Hou smiled and said: "Of course we are good people. My name is Liu Hou, and the girl next to me is Ou Youhan. We are both good people."
He smiled harmlessly.
Ou Youhan pursed his lips.
This guy is not a good person, he even spanked her.
"Shun. My name is Shun."
The girl pointed at her face.
"Is Shun your last name or your first name?"
Liu Houshun asked.
"What's your last name and what's your first name?"
The girl tilted her head and asked curiously.
Ou Youhan was surprised: "You don't even know what your name is?"
"I do not know."
The girl named Shun shook her head.
Liu Hou suddenly said: "Shun, do you know what year it is now?"
"Year?"
Shun blinked his eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Isn't Nian a kind of monster?"
Ou Youhan covered his head and turned to look at Liu Hou: "What's going on? This girl has a brain problem, but it doesn't look like it."
"It's not that there's something wrong with her brain, it's that there is something wrong with this place."
Liu Hou thought of something: "No wonder we think this island and waters are strange. It is very possible that this place was sealed by ancient Taoists thousands of years ago.
The indigenous people on the island also lost communication with the outside world as the waters were sealed, and were trapped in this water and soil."
Ou Youhan's eyes lit up: "Is this the Peach Blossom Spring?"
"similar."
Liu Hou nodded: "Peach Blossom Spring is probably a small world that was sealed. As for the aborigines on this island, they were probably sealed two thousand years ago.
At that time, many ethnic minorities on both sides of the Yangtze River were still in the form of tribes. Yao, Shun, and Yu Tang all had single-character names."
"But our language works well."
Ou Youhan always felt something was wrong: "Two thousand years ago, the two sides of the Yangtze River were using modern vernacular?"
"Shun's spoken vernacular is very unfamiliar. He must have only learned it recently."
Liu Houdao.
The girl named Shun watched Liu Hou and Ou Youhan talking with interest.
Liu Hou looked at her again: "You said that black-robed Taoist is a bad person. Are there many such people on the island?"
"There are a few more, they are all bad people!"
As soon as he mentioned the black-robed Taoist, his face immediately darkened, full of anger and regret.
"Can you tell me what's going on? Maybe we can help you."
Liu Hou asked.
He had many doubts in his mind, and the aboriginal girl in front of him was the best way to solve them.
Shun nodded: "You and he are not the same group, I tell you, no problem."
Then she told what she knew exactly.
These black-robed Taoists first appeared more than three years ago.
Since the beginning of instant memory, there has been no concept of the outside world.
Her entire life is on this island.
The villagers make a living by hunting strange fish in the river and growing some crops.
And as long as the blood of the strange fish is sprinkled, the crops will thrive.
Every year is a good harvest year.
Old people often say.
The island is isolated from the rest of the world, but it is also isolated from the war.
No fight with the world.
Good.
But since a young man in black robe floated over from the river.
Everything has been changed.
The young man in black robe almost died.
It happened to be that he was fished out instantly and saved.
For many, many years, no one came from outside.
Everyone in the village was very curious about this young man in black robe.
The young man in black robe is also very curious about this place.
This man lived in the village for more than half a month, and the villagers treated him well, serving him good food and drinks.
The black-robed Taoist was most interested in Shun.
His eyes always wandered towards Shun's body, which made Shun very uncomfortable.
The face of the man in black robe had been burned, his facial features were all mushy, and his eyes were sinister.
It seems that he is always deep in thought.
Shun dislikes him very much.
One day, he asked the village chief how to get out of the water.
The village chief, Shun's father, shook his head and said that once you enter this water, you can never get out again.
The man in black robe didn't believe it.
He actually tied up Shun with sweet words, and threatened Shun's father, saying that if he didn't tell him how to get out, he would do evil to Shun.
He was so angry that he almost lost his breath.
I saved this man with good intentions, and the villagers were also very kind to him.
Unexpectedly, this man was so evil that he would repay kindness with evil.
The villagers have been isolated for thousands of years, and the folk customs are simple and simple. How could you imagine that people could be so vicious?
The village chief also doesn't believe that there can be extreme evil in the world.
Unexpectedly, the man in black robe laughed loudly, drew a sword, and brutally dismembered one of the villagers.
He also said that as long as the village chief didn't tell him, he would kill one person every hour.
There are also experts in the village, and their strength is even far greater than that of the black-robed Taoist.
But he took Shun as a hostage, and no one dared to risk Shun's death by killing the gangster.
In the end, the village chief compromised and took out a jade box.
Tell the village's solution, it's in the box.
The black-robed Taoist grabbed the jade box and after verifying its authenticity, he walked away.
After handing over the jade box, the village chief seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
He just asked the villagers to be prepared not to sail on the river again or catch those strange fish again.
The village chief said it was the teachings of our ancestors.
Something big is going to happen in this water area.
Sure enough, not long after the men in black robes snatched away the jade box, everything on the river, around the island, and even in the sky.
I don't know where the white mist came from.
Never leave again.
Shrouded in the sky all day long.
And the villagers who disobeyed the village chief's orders and secretly went into the water to catch strange fish never came back.
No one can be seen alive, and no body can be seen dead.
Some people say that on the shore, they can see black shadows hundreds of meters long passing under the water.
The body is huge and the whole picture cannot be seen clearly.
Maybe it was the huge monster that ate the fishing villagers.
For a time, people were panicked.
The village chief tried his best to suppress the fear and anxiety of the villagers.
The days went on and there didn't seem to be much difference.
It's just a lot more painful.
Three years later, I thought life would be calm again.
But unexpectedly, a month ago, the man in black robe came again.
Chapter completed!
