Obviously, the tribes who moved to this area were not willing to obey Emperor Zhuanxu's new decree. [] Just like Ba Jun could not intervene in the affairs of Shanshui City, it was also difficult for the Emperor of China to control such a remote place. As long as these
The tribe symbolically expressed submission and did not openly rebel or invade the Central Plains.
Not far from Lei Shen's territory, the terrain gets higher and higher. The mountains ahead are like barriers. There is a long and narrow valley mouth between the two mountains, which is like a natural portal. In the valley is a stream covered with gravel, and its riverbed is the road in and out.
In many places, the water barely reaches your feet, but be careful not to step into the deep pools that occasionally appear in the river bed. For ordinary people, you must not rush here at night.
This river valley is very long, with deep mountains and dense forests on both sides, and towering cliffs. It is indeed a choke point. As he walked, Hua Zai introduced to everyone that this road is passable most of the time, and it is best to take it in winter.
, because dry river beds have been exposed in many places.
But when there is heavy rain or flash floods, it is absolutely impassable, not only because the turbid water flow makes it difficult for people to see the dangers in the river bed, but when the water flow is at its strongest, even just up to the knees can make a healthy cow unsteady. Pass
This sentence means that there are bison in the mountains in this area, and various tribes in Jiuli also raise cattle.
Following the children, they waded through the water. Of course, the speed could not be too fast. Until dark, the winding river valley ahead could not see the end. At dusk, Hua Zai led them up a gentler hillside.
A small cave was found at the end of a flat land backed by a high cliff. There were still traces of a fire in the cave, which was obviously his campsite when he came.
This child can run far away from the village! Huwa has lived in the wilderness since he was a child, so of course he knows the scope of activities of each tribe, and most of the people in the villages in Bayuan also follow the same rules.
Walk as fast as you can, set off at sunrise, and walk as far as you can during the day, in order to reach the next village or safe campsite. If there are no other nearby villages or safe campsites, you must arrive before dark.
Rush back. Unless you are in a group for large-scale hunting. Normally people's activity areas will not exceed this range, and most people even live in such an area their entire lives.
As farming civilization becomes more and more developed, people engage in large-scale wild hunting less and less. As long as cultivating fields and raising livestock can ensure survival, there is no need to brave the unpredictable dangers in the mountains⊥≦style_;even if it is
Organized hunting activities, each tribal village also has a traditional fixed hunting range, which is a familiar area explored by tribesmen of all generations. [Fast update, clean website page, few ads, I like this kind of website the most, must praise it]
There are obviously very few game animals in this river valley, so it is not suitable as a traditional hunting ground for the villages. Moreover, there are no people around after walking all day long, which means that it is far away from the usual activity areas of the nearby villages. It is indeed not very popular on weekdays.
Someone may be passing by. So it can be deduced from this that only the Feili Department specially organizes people to go out of the river valley every month to worship the God of Thunder.
Hua Zai, a child, did not go very far just for fun, because that was not a place he would reach if he ran far away occasionally. He should have gone to the God of Thunder. At the earliest, he might have quietly followed Fei Li.
It took the entire worship team to find the location of the God of Thunder. It was indeed very scheming and had been planned for a long time.
Hua Zai got so many benefits today and was very excited and happy. That night, he peeled and cleaned the deer, roasted it and entertained Hu Wa and others, just like an adult entertaining guests from afar. He also said carelessly, "Everyone
Don't worry too much. In fact, all the villages in Jiuli are very hospitable, but they are a little xenophobic due to the influence of legends.
Although he is not very old, he still has a certain status in the village and is a well-spoken figure. With him as a guarantee, Huwa and others will be able to enter the village safely. They have no ill intentions and have been protected by Lord Thunder God.
The villagers will be happy to receive you.
Ji Gu muttered: "Just brag, don't brag if you are a bull!"
Hua Zai retorted: "Whether I am bragging or not, you will know tomorrow."
The so-called skin blowing is a step in the slaughter of large livestock in villages. After bleeding, shaving and washing, a tube is inserted into each of the four legs, and then the entrance is tied tightly. The position of the tube tip is very important and must be accurate.
The ground is inserted between the skin and flesh. Then four big men with strong energy blow air into it to separate the skin and flesh of the animal, so that the complete skin can be peeled off.
This kind of scene often attracts onlookers from the tribe. The four big men puffed up their cheeks and blew until their faces turned red. They could blow up a pig until all its skin swelled up like a round ball. It is a way of describing people who laugh at people by saying, "If you have a cow, don't blow a pig."
He speaks in a loud tone, which is also called bragging or bragging.
After eating the deer meat, Hua Zai carefully put away the deer skin, and everyone rested next to the fire with their backs against the rock wall and closed their eyes. Hu Zai quietly said with his spiritual thoughts: "Have you discovered anything about the land where the God of Thunder is?
?”
Taiyi secretly replied: "That's an ancient battlefield. In ancient times, there should have been fierce battles."
Hou Gang added: "Xuanyuan defeated Chi You. The most important battle was the Battle of Zhuolu, which did not take place here. But there is another legend in Jiuli that Chi You threw weapons at Lishan. This shows that Chi You may have fought again after being captured by Xuanyuan.
After getting out of trouble, a fierce battle broke out in this area, and he was eventually killed by Xuanyuan."
Huwa: "The rift valley we are walking through is generally formed naturally, but the section at the entrance seems to have been forcibly broken by an external force."
Hou Gang added: "Whether Chi You was finally killed here is difficult to find out now. But I can be sure that in the so-called Battle of Jedi Tiantong, the Benli tribe and the Chongchen clan fought against the Gonggong tribe.
The main battlefield is in this area, and all nearby villages have been destroyed. There is still no human habitation on the road we have walked."
Huwa: "There is a big river blocking it in the north, and it is close to the edge of Yunmeng Juze. It has been flooded for many years, making it really unsuitable for human habitation. The Benli tribe later moved north to the Jianghuai area, separated from the other Jiuli tribes, and this area was even more uninhabitable.
According to Hua Zai, he has never seen outsiders coming from any direction, and we are the first batch."
Hou Gang: "The migration of the Benli tribe to the north began in the time of Emperor Zhuanxu of Gaoyang. It was at least more than a hundred and almost two hundred years ago. This means that there are indeed very few people in the area where the God of Thunder is.
After passing by, only people from the Feili tribe go to worship every month."
Taiyi suddenly realized: "They are looking for something, they have been looking for it!"
How could the God of Thunder appear in that place? If it didn't run there on its own, it must have been "ranched" there. Someone used its habits and talents to collect various artifacts left behind in this ancient battlefield. This process
It lasted for at least more than a hundred years, and even close to two hundred years.
In that area of wild trees, dense swamps, miasma and poisonous insects everywhere, and periodic floods every year, it is not suitable for people to live and travel at all. Using the God of Thunder to collect various relics from the ancient battlefield is a very smart choice.
, it can also be said to be deliberate.
The God of Thunder has no other ideas. Collecting treasures is his hobby. Not only can he fly, but he also has excellent eyesight. He has the power to sense objects with his spiritual sense. He also has some kind of instinct or intuition to get close to treasures. He enjoys it every day.
In its tree hole during the day, Huwa saw a fragment of a divine weapon and a bone from the Immortal family. According to Huwa's judgment, the owner of this relic had reached the level of the Great Artifact Refining Cauldron.
Extreme.
If Huwa and others had arrived two months later, they might not have had the chance to see these two treasures again, because they had probably been taken away by the Feili tribe. What they saw in the tree hole was absolutely stunning.
Most of the treasures are actually the leftovers that Fei Libu picks out every month.
In the past two hundred years, how many such things have Feilibu used Thunder God to collect? If this is a means of collecting various relics on ancient battlefields, then who arranged it in the first place and what is the purpose?
The Feili tribe would definitely not do this for no reason. They believe in the Gu God and claim to have followed the Gu God's will and moved here to settle down. They seem to be far away from the rule of the Emperor of China and try to avoid conflicts, but there may be something secretly going on.
The plot has been going on quietly for at least a hundred years.
These are not Huwa's business, but Hou Gang has to be concerned about them. Huwa secretly said: "After entering the village, let's make some secret inquiries to find out what they want to do?"
After a while, Huwa got up and went outside to pee. He was the incarnation of the Yang God of the Immortal Family and had excellent qualifications, but now he was still an ordinary person with no cultivation. He still had to do whatever he should do. Hua
Zai pulled out a burning branch from the fire, held it like a torch and followed him out: "I'll go with you, be careful of insects and snakes!"
Hua Zai did not hold the torch high in his hand, but waved it forward in a fan shape close to the ground. He was very careful not to light the grass and trees, but let the thick smoke float out and walked a few feet away to the cliff. The two of them discharged water side by side.
At this time, Hua Zai lowered his voice and asked mysteriously: "Hu boy, are you the leader of these people? Among the four of you, your status is the most noble."
Huwa asked in surprise: "They all have good cultivation, and I am just an ordinary person. How can I be the most noble? That Lord Hougang is a noble man from China. Look at me.
Doesn’t he look like his servant?”
Hua Zai shook his head and said: "If you stand still and don't speak, you are a bit like Lord Hougang's servant, but if something happens, the feeling will be different. In the eyes of those in the north, our place is
The mountains and rivers are desolate and dangerous. Since the three of them are so capable, why would they bring you, an ordinary person with no cultivation, to bring trouble to themselves?
In my opinion, you are the leader. They did not bring you here, but you brought them here. It seems that you are the one who asks questions and makes decisions about anything, and they all listen to you, consciously or unconsciously.
They are all protecting you. Can you tell me what tribe you are a big shot in and what you are here to do?" (To be continued.)
