Chapter 143: The Road Never Envisioned
In fact, the language that was reported in the forest was one of the official languages of Nanzhao Kingdom, Ailao.
Many people have misunderstood the Nanzhao Kingdom because of the world view constructed by the Legend of Sword and Fairy, thinking that this is a country composed of the Miao people.
In fact, this understanding is not accurate.
Nanzhao was called the Six Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine
The black and white Miao people in the Nanzhao Kingdom are just Miao people, and they should be the Yi and Bai people with a large number of people in the Miao Xinjiang region.
Black Miao and White Miao are the names called by the people of the Central Plains based on the colors of the clothes these two tribes like to wear, and in fact there is no direct connection with the Miao people.
Even during the Qing Dynasty, the Central Plains official division of Miao ethnic groups was still very simple and crude, and they unified it as Miao ethnic group. It was not until the founding of New China that the official racial names of these ethnic minorities were strictly defined.
Ailao language is a language originating from ancient Thailand. It was very popular in southwestern my country and Southeast Asia during some periods. Nanzhao also designated it and Chinese as one of its official languages.
Yes, Chinese is also one of the official languages of Nanzhao, but its scope of application is wider than that of Ailao.
People hiding in the forest use Ailao language to communicate, probably to avoid being heard by others.
Camping in the wilderness is a must-have issue.
Li Xiaoyao's mind was not true, and Lin Yueru was also confused, so the arrangement in this aspect could only fall on Liu Yun.
He drove the improved Tianshi Talisman into the ground around the camp and guarded the center like a trap.
Once someone steps on it, the talisman will immediately react with stress.
The unlucky guy who first stepped into the trap area unfortunately stepped on the Flame Talisman, and his fate can be imagined.
Liu Yun thought that the subsequent enemies would immediately flow into the gap trampled by a bad guy, and he was ready to face the enemy with his sword.
But after several minutes, the shouts of killing became farther and farther away from the camp, and it seemed that two waves of people ran out of the woods as they fought.
"Uh~What the hell, the thunder is loud and the rain is small?"
Liu Yun scratched his head speechlessly, and Lin Yueru also frowned in confusion.
Li Xiaoyao, who was awakened by the explosion, rushed out of the tent in panic. He could still see very obvious dark circles on his face, obviously he had not had a good sleep.
Liu Yun waved his hand to signal Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao to stay in the camp and walk carefully to the triggered talisman trap alone.
A charred body was lying in the woods, and the surrounding wildfires continued to spread.
"The heaven and earth are infinite, and the universe borrows the law... urgently as the law."
Liu Yun pinched the magic tricks with his hands and injected more spiritual power to draw a water-blue talisman.
This talisman was sent to the sky by Liu Yun, and soon a few drops of water began to fall within a small area, extinguishing the mountain fire that had not yet completely spread.
Set fire to the mountain and sit in the prison. Although there are no forest rangers in the Fairy Sword World to arrest Liu Yun, good habits must be developed.
"This is……"
Although a bad guy has been burned to an extreme condition, his weapon has been preserved under the burning heat.
"Nanzhao Craft?"
The imperial envoy's scimitar, which was still red and hot, flew in front of him, and Liu Yun subconsciously touched his chin.
"So, we are going to have already walked to the plot point?"
The journey from Yangzhou to Chang'an is long. After many days of trekking, the three of them have entered the boundary of Shaanxi, not far from Chang'an.
Liu Yun remembers that before arriving in Chang'an, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru would encounter another accident.
Zhao Ling'er's mother Lin Qing'er is the Saint of Bai Miao. General Bai Miao Gelojiao went to the Central Plains to find Zhao Ling'er in the name of the leader of Bai Miao, and planned to welcome the descendants of the Saint back to Dali City to serve as the new Saint.
On the other hand, Zhao Linger's father, Heimiao Witch King, was infatuated by practicing the Moon Worshiping Sect's magic skills, and his life was in danger.
In a daze, the Witch King ordered Elder Shi to enter the Central Plains, search for Zhao Ling'er, who had been separated for many years, and let her return to Nanzhao to inherit the throne.
Elder Shi was very disgusted with the Witch King Chongxin and the Moon Master, but he was always loyal to the Witch King.
In order to bring back the princess, he led his direct subordinates into the Central Plains and searched for Zhao Ling'er's whereabouts.
At the same time, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Sect was worried that the return of Nuwa's descendants would be unfavorable to him. After Elder Shi set out, he immediately took action to kill the Witch King, arranged a puppet as a substitute, and secretly arranged for the Moon Worshiping Sect to go to Xianling Island to assassinate Zhao Ling'er.
That is the black Miao people Li Xiaoyao met in Shengyu Village before.
Zhao Ling'er was taken away by Elder Shi at the Ghost Yin Altar outside Baihe Town. General Bai Miao Galojiao had already found out about their itinerary in advance and led his subordinates to ambush halfway and try to retake the Saint.
After clarifying his thoughts, Liu Yun sent a thousand miles of voice to inform Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru to come as soon as possible, while he rushed out of the woods and came to the official road first.
Even though Liu Yun rushed to the road as fast as possible, when he arrived at the scene, everything was settled.
Outside a rural shop, the ground seemed to be plowed from beginning to end, and at first glance it looked devastated.
The powerful and chaotic energy still lingers on the scene and has not dissipated for a long time.
A large number of Black Miao and Bai Miao people fell to the ground, and most of them had lost their vitality. There was only a relatively gorgeously dressed Bai Miao woman kneeling on the ground, with blood still spilling from the corners of her mouth.
There was a pool of blood spraying outwards at the center of the chaotic energy, but the ground here was intact.
A girl wearing a water-blue coat, pure appearance and elegant temperament stood in the middle of the blood with a confused look on her face, feeling at a loss about what happened on the scene.
Sensing the danger, she automatically changed into Nuwa's true body, supporting the spiritual shield to block the aftermath of Elder Shi's self-destruction.
In fact, Elder Shi had already consciously avoided Zhao Ling'er when using the Red Blood Demon Flame. She was just affected and was unscathed.
‘Is that Zhao Ling'er?’
Liu Yun glanced at the Bai Miao woman who was struggling to get up, and accelerated her pace toward the direction where Zhao Ling'er was.
"Strange! Dare you!"
Just when Liu Yun was less than 30 meters away from Zhao Ling'er, an angry scolding suddenly came from the sky.
"tumultuous!"
An extremely strong and sharp sword energy rushed from the air, targeting Zhao Ling'er, who was headed by a human, snake.
Liu Yun's face changed, and the commander's long sword stopped him and shouted loudly.
"Wait! Stay down the sword!"
"Bang!"
Liu Yun's long sword was shattered by the surging sword energy without any surprise, but it also won Zhao Ling'er a moment of evasion.
Her snake body twisted agilely on the ground, and narrowly avoided the terrifying sword energy.
A long sword mark was added to the already crippled ground.
While Liu Yun sighed in his heart, he suddenly discovered something: ‘Wait a moment, is the angle of this sword energy... a bit crooked?’
“Huh?”
The people in the air were surprised and surprised.
"Sword-controlling technique?"
"Certainly!"
A bunch of condensed spell talismans threw on the terrified Zhao Ling'er, temporarily tying her to the spot.
"Swish~"
The figure in the air landed in front of Liu Yun on a long sword. It was a majestic old man with white hair and a sword intent all over his body.
At this time, he was looking at Liu Yun with an scrutiny gaze.
"Who are you? Why do you use sword-controlling skills? And why do you plead for this witch?"
‘Sword Saint, Dugu Yuyun.’
Liu Yun took a deep breath and bowed to the other party with his fists.
"Senior, I..."
Before Liu Yun could finish his words, the Sword Saint suddenly raised his white eyebrows and shook his sleeves to knock the hidden weapon that was attacking from the side.
"cough!"
Baimiao woman Gai Luojiao coughed out a mouthful of blood again: "Old Taoist priest, don't...you call my tribe a saint a witch!"
The Sword Saint frowned: "Hmph! Bai Miao."
"For the sake of the Holy Aunt, I will surround you for the time being."
Using the method of controlling objects to capture Zhao Ling'er, who could not move, from the air, the Sword Saint stretched out his sword finger and gently tapped her forehead.
Seeing that he was about to break free from the constraints, Zhao Ling'er fainted with regret on her face.
The Sword Saint turned his gaze back to Liu Yun: "This is a place of right and wrong. You can follow me back to Shushan before explaining."
Liu Yun waved his hand and tried to stop the Sword Saint's plan: "No, I still have..."
"It's useless to say more, let's get up!"
Liu Yun, who was swept away by the sword, couldn't speak in the strong wind that rushed towards him, and could only scream violently in his heart.
‘Nmd is always stubborn! Can you let me finish talking ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
