Daba Mountain is different from Taihang Mountain. Taihang Mountain has thousands of ravines and jagged rocks, showing its rugged beauty, like a bohemian tough guy. Daba Mountain, on the other hand, is densely covered with waterways and has a gentle and gentle atmosphere, more like a gentle woman.
"This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, which really makes people forget to leave. If you can stay with your beloved woman here for a long time, it will be a good way to live."
Zhou Yuanfu sighed with emotion. Lu Quan glanced at him but did not answer. The two of them had already decided on the plan and it was imperative to go to Ba Dong, so they headed towards Ba Dong without any further delay.
"If brother has such thoughts, then why not stay with Mrs. Lu? Then I will also bring Mrs. Yan over, so that we can be neighbors."
Cui Niubi still spoke freely.
Mrs. Lu was not upset when she heard this. She thought that everyone was already destined to die, so you should let your mouth get some advantage, so she said lightly: "Would you like to stay together? That's not a bad idea."
Zhou Yuanfu originally wanted to stop him, but seeing that Mrs. Lu's face was calm and calm, and she was not in a hurry when speaking, he didn't bother to pay attention to Cui Niubi.
"Is there something in Mrs. Lu's words? It's just that Zhang Xiu is too scared to come. Why doesn't Zhang Lu come to see her off?"
Zhou Yuanfu tried it out, but after all, this was a bit unreasonable. According to what Zhang Xiu said, the cave was very dangerous and dangerous, and it would be a narrow escape for a few people to go there this time. Ordinarily, the son should come to see him off even if he didn't stop him. Zhou Yuanfu didn't panic.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a dragon or an insect, I have an electric prod in my hand and a pistol on my waist. If it’s a dragon, let it coil up, and if it’s an insect, let it lie down.
"Why should those who study Tao be obsessed with these forms? At present, the teachings are newly established and the people's hearts are not attached to them. Gongqi is still busy with the affairs of the teachings. Besides, hasn't General Lei Gong promised to Gongqi that he will ensure my safety?
What?"
Mrs. Lu spoke easily, and she had actually made up her mind to die. Now that she had helped Zhang Lu regain the religious power, once it was confirmed that Zhang Heng did die in the cave, she could follow him with peace of mind. If he died,
When he was young, he could win over Zhou Yuanfu and eliminate a powerful opponent for his son, which would kill two birds with one stone.
"Safety is of course no problem, but how far is Ba Dong? It's been two days of walking. I originally thought Ba Dong was near Langzhong, but now it seems that it's still quite far away. To be honest,
The place this family chose to ascend to is quite strange."
Zhou Yuanfu couldn't help but be curious.
"It's not far, we have now entered the Danqu territory, and Ba Dong is right here."
"Dangqu?"
"Yes, haven't you always wanted to recruit barbarian soldiers? This is where the barbarians gather, which is what you call Banchen barbarians."
"Oh, if that's the case, then it's really a worthwhile trip."
Zhou Yuanfu was overjoyed. Hearing what Guan Yu said before about how brave and ruthless these barbarians were, how heroic and skilled in battle, had already tempted him enough.
As I walked along the mountain road, I couldn't understand the words of the people I met along the way, but Mrs. Lu was able to talk to people very skillfully. These people all expressed great respect for Mrs. Lu.
"We are almost here. Pu Hu, the leader of the seventh surname, and Du Yi, the leader of the seven surnames, are already waiting at the Holy Mountain. You can speak more politely in a moment. If you look down on them, then don't expect them to be used by you in the future. Once they think they are
If you are despised, they will regard you as their enemy."
Madam Lu solemnly explained that although she knew there would be death and no life here, she still had to stabilize Zhou Yuanfu and everyone before that.
Zhou Yuanfu looked at Cui Niubi worriedly and regretted bringing him here, "Brother Cui won't speak for a while, Yunchang is optimistic about him."
"Brother, why are you worried about me? The barbarian ladies I saw along the way are all charming. Can't I just watch the young ladies and not talk nonsense?"
Cui Niubi still didn't care.
Guan Yu didn't say anything and pinched his neck from behind, which made Cui Niubi become more honest.
"By the way, Mrs. Lu, why does this man have two heads?"
"The Jin people helped Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to pacify the world. After he became famous, in order to reward the Jin people, Gaozu exempted the seven surnames of Du, Pu, Lu, Da, Du, Xi and Gong who had contributed the most from the tax. The rest of the Jin people also only used
They paid one-third of the taxes. So the Zhi people gradually became two tribes with seven surnames and other miscellaneous surnames, so both tribes had their own leaders."
Lu Quan thought about how Zhou Yuanfu once taught her about astronomy and immortality. At this time, he also talked about everything he knew. He sighed slightly in his heart, you are going to die anyway, so I think I can repay your favor.
"Is Mrs. Lu one of the seven surnames of this people?" Zhou Yuanfu asked with interest.
Lu Quan nodded slightly and said nothing.
From a distance, I saw a very peculiar cylindrical mountain peak. The mountains nearby were covered with green trees and weeds. Only this mountain was bare and looked very uncoordinated. The mountain went straight up and down, everywhere you looked.
There are large rocks and trees only at the base of the mountain, covered with scattered branches.
A village was built at the bottom of the mountain, and a river next to the village meandered along the mountain.
"Brother, you look at the mountain very strangely. I, Cui Niupi, have never seen such a mountain in my life. It really looks like a stick..."
Before Cui Niuxi could finish speaking, Guan Yu covered his mouth.
Lu Quan's face turned slightly red, and Zhou Yuanfu coughed twice, "The shape of this holy mountain is indeed a bit shocking, but many sects practice totem worship, so it's not surprising."
Guan Yu slowly let go of his hand and glared at Cui Niubi to signal him to stop talking nonsense.
Cui Niupi finally muttered: "You have all seen it, and we understand each other tacitly."
There were already crowds of people in front of the village. Seeing Lu Quan's arrival, everyone rushed to bow down and salute.
The guests and hosts were divided into seats, a banquet was served according to the customs of the people, and people were ordered to sing and dance to add to the fun.
During the dinner, the majestic men and the graceful women sang and danced. The majesty and the femininity complemented each other perfectly. Although everyone spoke different languages, they could still feel the passion and unrestrainedness of the men.
"Pu Hu offers a glass of wine to all guests and wishes the Holy Mother a successful ascension."
Zhou Yuanfu heard Lu Quan introduce the two leaders. The one who spoke was the leader of the seven surnames, named Pu Hu, who was considered a noble leader among the people. The other one was the leader of the people with mixed surnames, named Du Yi.
Both of them are young and promising, and they are among the few people who can speak Chinese.
Not to be outdone, the other leader said, "Du Yi also wants to toast all the guests. After the Virgin ascends, don't forget to bless us and the people."
Lu Quan took a shallow sip.
Zhou Yuanfu looked at the wine in the cup in a daze. The wine was cool and clear, just like the high-strength wine distilled by himself. Didn't it mean that all ancient wines were turbid wine? A pot of turbid wine happily meets, green ants newly roasted wine, Mo Xiao
A farmer's wax wine is turbid, and a glass of turbid wine can be used thousands of miles away. This all shows that ancient people drank turbid rice wine. Could it be that there were people who traveled through time among these barbarians and helped them distill rice wine?
Zhou Yuanfu looked at the glass of wine in a daze, while Pu Hu and Du Yi looked at each other and smiled.
"This Han man has never had such a refreshing drink before? Try it, this wine is our unique 'Baxiang Qing'."
Du Yi said proudly.
"Qin invades Yi, and loses a pair of yellow dragons; Yi invades Qin, and loses a minute of sake. This shows how precious this sake is. You can't drink it in other places. Why not take this opportunity to drink a few more glasses."
Pu Hu also said proudly.
"Tch, is this kind of sweet water also called wine? I thought you were using sugar water for customers."
Before Zhou Yuanfu could answer, Cui Niubi said something contemptuously.
Guan Yu thought for a while and finally did not move. This is because the barbarians look down on others first. In terms of popularity, who can compare with Cui Niubi.
Pu Hu and Du Yi were about to get angry after hearing this. Seeing this, Lu Quan reconciled and said: "General Lei Gong has formed an alliance with us now. Let's get closer to each other in the future."
Pu Hu sneered and said: "I have seen this General Lei Gong a few days ago, and his appearance is unforgettable. If it hadn't been for him, we would have been drinking in Nanzheng City by now."
Du Yi also echoed: "Not only have we seen this black-faced general, we have also seen those two. If Master Lu hadn't stopped him that day, I'm afraid these two would have been killed by the sword."
Du Yi pointed at Guan Yu and Zhang Liao, and their faces were full of anger when they heard this.
Zhou Yuanfu felt helpless. When he was a Yellow Turban thief, he was looked down upon by the scholars. After finally gaining a serious status, he met these unreasonable barbarians again.
"Brother Cui, if we say this is sweet water, people may not be convinced. Why don't we open two jars of the wine we brought so that the two leaders can also open their eyes!"
Cui Niupi was waiting for these words, and brought in two jars of Tianshi Immortal Wine from outside. When he opened the mud seal, the aroma of wine overflowed.
Lu Quan had drunk this kind of wine before and knew that the alcohol content was much higher than that of Ba Xiangqing. He was afraid that the two leaders would make a fool of themselves.
Pu Hu and Du Yi held the wine glasses and looked at each other. The strong aroma of wine stimulated their nostrils.
Du Yi was impatient, so he drank it in one sip. Suddenly a hot stream rolled down his throat, flowed through his esophagus, and led to his stomach.
Du Yi felt his stomach was burning, and he was shocked. He held his stomach and pointed at Cui Niupi, "You actually poisoned the wine!"
