Qilidong, on the southern border of Xinjiang.

Miao altar.

Deep in the dark and silent hall, Gui Li and the Great Wizard, who were still awake, did not speak. Only the burning flames made crackling sounds from time to time. In addition, there was a strange sound in the quiet altar.

Monkey Xiao Hui was drunk and was sleeping soundly at the moment, and was still snoring.

In the past, Gui Li was often with Xiao Hui, but he never noticed that Xiao Hui snores when sleeping. It seems that the Miao spirits are indeed extraordinary. The monkey's face was red, and his belly was bulging.

Ups and downs, cute and a bit funny.

However, even when drunk, Xiao Bai's appearance was much better than that of Xiao Hui. This nine-tailed fox who has been practicing for thousands of years naturally surpassed Xiao Hui in Taoism. After this drunken experience, his skin became rosy.

Zhen Zhen leans his head, and there is a charming charm between his brows and eyes. He is really a monster that confuses all living beings.

Gui Li sighed inwardly and turned his head.

The great wizard was still facing the fire and did not turn around, but at this moment he slowly said: "This friend of yours seems to be no ordinary person!"

Gui Li was shocked and thought to himself that this great wizard was mysterious. Could it be that he had seen through Xiaobai and was the Nine-tailed Sky Fox? Although the customs of the five tribes in southern Xinjiang were completely different from those in the Middle Earth, they were far closer to living creatures than the people in the Middle Earth.

, but Gui Li was not sure how they would treat such monsters.

He pondered for a moment, considered his words, and said slowly: "Why, how could the great wizard look at a woman like her in such a different light?"

The great wizard was silent for a moment and said calmly: "A weak woman like her who knocked down dozens of strong men from my Miao ethnic group with her drinking capacity, is she still an ordinary person?"

Gui Li was stunned, but then he felt relieved, but when he thought of the spectacular scene of Xiao Bai having a drink with a group of Miao people at the foot of the mountain, he couldn't help but secretly shake his head.

Maybe, being locked in a dark altar of mysterious fire and spending three hundred years of loneliness and pain, she also needed to indulge and vent!

Gui Li turned his head slightly, and Xiao Bai still leaned on his legs quietly, sleeping quietly. His gentle breathing, lightly closing lips and lightly closing eyes, and the long and delicate eyelashes occasionally trembled slightly, as if

A child who falls asleep but has something on his mind may be dreaming of something?

I just wonder, can she still sleep peacefully now? Will there be nightmares that make her suffer in her dreams?

Xiaobai's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he felt the gaze, but as if he was dreaming about something, he turned his head slightly, and then fell asleep again.

In the firelight, her face lost a bit of charm, but seemed to have a bit of innocence that she had never seen before.

Gui Li moved his eyes away, looked at the great wizard, and said, "She drank too much. I'm afraid she can't answer your questions now, great wizard."

The great wizard was obviously not surprised, nor did he look back at the woman. After a pause, he slowly said: "There is one thing you may not know."

Gui Li was startled and said: "What, please tell me?"

The rickety figure of the great wizard cast a shadow in front of the fire, swaying slightly. Even his voice sounded a bit erratic: "This resurrecting technique has always been passed down only among the Miao altar wizards. Let's make it clear.

Some, only the great wizards of the past have such magical skills, which have never been spread to the outside world. Even my own tribe does not know about it. But this girl looks so young, how she knows about this, I really can't figure it out.

"

Gui Li was startled. Xiaobai was a demon fox who had been cultivating for thousands of years. It was only because of her profound Taoism that she transformed into a human form with a charming and beautiful appearance. In terms of experience and experience, there were really few people in the world who could compare with her.

But these words were naturally not easy to say to this great wizard. Gui Li changed his mind and changed the subject, saying: "Great wizard, you didn't even turn your head or look at her. How did you know that she was a young woman?" ?”

The great wizard tilted his head slightly to the side, as if he laughed softly, and he didn't know if he had seen through Gui Li's mind, and said: "Since this girl is already drunk, let's wait until she wakes up before talking about anything! You You are a guest from afar. When you go out, go to Tuma Gu, the leader of our Miao tribe. I will ask someone to bring a message to him and ask him to arrange for you to stay here for a few days."

Gui Li frowned. Based on his wish, he really wanted to make an agreement with the great wizard right away and go rescue Baguio, but listening to his tone of voice, although his voice was calm but unquestionable, it was obvious that he had to find out Xiaobai's origin first. I have something to ask for at this moment, and now I think about it, I have been waiting for ten years, so why not just wait for one more day?

Gui Li took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay."

The great wizard said quietly: "Then get out!"

Gui Li nodded to the great wizard's back, and was about to get up and walk out, but was startled again. Xiaobai was sleeping peacefully with his pillow on his lap. She looked very drunk no matter what, so how could she get up and walk?

Gui Li reluctantly called out twice, but Xiao Bai turned a deaf ear and seemed to be a little annoyed at being disturbed at this moment. He pursed his lips, turned over, and fell asleep again.

It didn't matter that she turned over. Xiao Hui was leaning on her belly, but now his head hit the ground with a plop. However, the monkey didn't notice it and continued to snore loudly. It seemed that a natural spiritual creature, even a monkey head, was like this. It's very hard, stronger than an ordinary monkey's head.

Gui Li sighed and shook his head. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to bend down and support Xiao Bai. Then he stood up, stretched out his hands to hug Xiao Bai, and pulled Xiao Hui to his shoulders, putting this one on his shoulder. The monkey picked it up and walked outside.

Xiaobai, who was lying in his arms, had a faint fragrance, a slight smile, and a pink face in the whites, swaying gently in front of his eyes.

Gui Li took a deep breath, strode out, and left the altar.

After walking out of the dark altar and stepping past the two huge stone pillars at the door, the sun suddenly shone on my face.

A gentle warmth spread from his body. Gui Li squinted his eyes slightly and saw Tuma Gu standing not far in front, with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery of Qilidong from the mountain.

A Miao man who looked like a wizard walked out of the altar behind Gui Li, passed by Gui Li, walked to Tu Ma Gu, and whispered a few words to him. Tu Ma Gu turned around and said to Gui Li After looking at it twice, his eyes fell on the drunken and sleeping Xiaobai, and he nodded, as if he had agreed to something.

The wizard turned around expressionlessly, without even looking at Gui Li, and walked straight back to the altar, disappearing into the shadows.

Tu Ma Gu walked over with a smile and said: "How is it? Has the great wizard agreed?"

Gui Li smiled slightly and said, "I don't know yet, but he asked us to stay here."

Tuma Gu nodded and said, "I understand, just follow me!" After saying that, he turned around and walked down the mountain.

Gui Li followed him with Xiao Bai and Xiao Hui in his arms, only to hear Tuma Gu say: "We are in a remote and remote area, but it is not as prosperous as you in Middle Earth. You can do whatever you want! Haha."

Gui Li saw that the Miao clan leader was very accommodating, and nodded: "Clan leader, you are so polite, we are the ones disturbing you."

Tu Ma Gu chuckled and said nothing more.

After coming down from the mountain, Tuma Gu pondered for a moment, and then walked towards the river with Gui Li. Along the way, many Miao people paid attention, but their eyes were obviously lingering on Xiao Bai.

They walked across the Middle-earth-style stone bridge that Gui Li had seen before, and arrived at a relatively secluded house on the other side built beside a row of green trees.

Gui Li stood behind Tu Ma Gu and frowned quickly and slightly. The house was not big, with only one floor and one room. It was square, simple and unpretentious. It was built entirely with wood, and the walls outside the house were There are no animal skins or bones hanging in the houses of ordinary Miao people at all.

Tu Ma Gu turned his head and said: "This house has been vacant for a long time, but we have always cleaned it. It is still clean, and few people come here. You two can spend the night here first!"

Gui Li nodded slightly and said, "Thank you very much, clan leader."

Tu Ma Gu smiled, then looked at Xiao Bai who was in Gui Li's arms, and said, "Then I won't disturb you, you can rest first!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but he stopped, as if he remembered something, and said: "I will send someone to bring some food later, so you can rest assured! Our customs here are simple and aggrieved. You guys."

Gui Li shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, thank you very much, clan leader."

Tuma Gu nodded, turned and left. Gui Li watched him for a while, and when he was far away, he turned around and looked at the house again.

No matter how you look at it, this house looks like a house built by a Chinese...

He hugged Xiaobai and Xiaohui, stepped forward, opened the door, and walked in.

The furnishings in the room are quite simple, with a bed, a table, a few wooden chairs, the walls are made of neatly sized paulownia trees, and a window is open on one side. There is a faint fragrance of trees in the whole room.

Gui Li has never been someone who values ​​the luxury of accommodation, but it is so simple that it suits his liking. He walked over and put Xiao Bai on the bed first. Xiao Bai murmured twice and fell asleep again.

Gui Li shook his head and took Xiao Hui off his shoulders. He saw the monkey's mouth opening and closing, and making tut-tut sounds from time to time. Seeing its satisfied look, Gui Li sighed and put it on the bed.

Seeing the man and the monkey sleeping peacefully, Gui Li turned around, walked to the table, and sat down. The room seemed to suddenly become quiet, and there was no sound except their breathing.

He was alone in this strange house in a foreign land, sitting quietly.

Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly.

Ten miles to the east of Qilidong, surrounded by mountains, there is a stretch of rolling mountains. On top of one of the mountains, two people stood, looking up at the fertile land in the distance among the mountains.

“That’s Qilidong!”

The man standing in front said this in a low voice. There was deep emotion, anger and desire in his words.

Under the sunlight, this was an extremely strong and tall man, with his upper body naked and his lower body wearing trousers sewn from the skins of wild beasts.

His skin has a strong bronze color due to years of exposure to the sun and wind. On his muscular body, there is a bear head tattoo on his chest. In addition, huge and criss-crossing tattoos can be seen everywhere on his body.

With scars, it is not difficult to imagine how many terrifying beasts he has fought.

"Yes, patriarch." He was answered by a man standing one step behind him, "That's Qilidong." He was dressed similarly to the man in front of him, but in addition to beast leather pants, he also wore

The clothes are made of fur, and looking at them, they are much smaller than the strong man in front of them.

At this moment, there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He looked ahead and said slowly: "There is the fundamental place of the Miao people who have ruled southern Xinjiang for two hundred years. At the same time, our Li people's artifact 'Bone Jade' is right there.

In the Miao altar in Qilidong Mountain, under the statue of the evil dog of the Miao people, they have been suppressed for two hundred years!"

"Giggle..."

A harsh sound suddenly sounded from the strong man in front. The man behind him looked around and saw that it was the man he called the leader of the Li tribe. He clenched his fists and his joints made a sound due to the tremendous strength.

"Two hundred years! Two hundred years!" The strong man's voice was not loud, but he said to himself as if he was roaring.

"Yes! Two hundred years ago. Two hundred years ago, we were attacked by the despicable Miao people. Their evil wizard used vicious magic to curse our warriors to death and robbed us of the sacred 'bone jade' that we enshrined.

They drove us to the most barren place in southern Xinjiang and lived the most miserable life for two hundred years." The man behind him used cold words and spoke lightly of irreconcilable hatred.

The strong mountain wind blew on the mountain-like body of the Li clan leader, like a knife, but he had no reaction. At this moment, in his eyes, there was only the hot land in front of him surrounded by mountains.

"Losing the bone jade is the greatest insult and disrespect to the Bear God!" The man behind him was still saying, "So for the past two hundred years, the Bear God has been angry and refused to take care of us Li people. To this day, as long as we defeat

Miao people, if we take back the bone jade, the Bear God will definitely favor us Li people again, so that we can occupy the best land in southern Xinjiang and let our people and descendants live here for generations to come."

His voice suddenly became louder and he said: "Clan leader, we must never let our future children, like us, fight against monsters like fire wolves and black tigers that even the strongest warriors cannot resist, just to snatch some

Things to eat."

"We want to survive, we want the best land!" he said viciously.

Ahead, the giant-like clan leader did not look back, but his angry and heavy breathing revealed his mood. After a moment of silence, he turned his head and said, "Are there really no problems with the other three clans?"
