Soon they arrived at the foot of Daman Mountain. Chen Jinyuan was full of curiosity about this mysterious race. Bonfires were dotted on the mountain like beacons in the night sky.
Climbing up the mountain along a steep mountain road, you can see the vast mountains at your feet. It is very cold in the mountains and forests. The weeping birds and apes are frightening. People without any courage really dare not climb up this mountain.
"Only the sky is above, let alone the mountains!"
With the help of a few stars, Chen Jinyuan turned around and took a look, and couldn't help but sigh. The Quanrong Prairie is a vast expanse of plains. Mountains like the Daman Mountains are rare, so naturally they stand alone. There is no comparable mountain.
"You're showing off your coquettishness again!" Pirate Zhi rolled his eyes at Chen Jinyuan. As a Mohist disciple, what he hated most was the poor Confucian people. Chen Jinyuan's coquettish appearance would naturally attract his ridicule.
"What do you know? You are uneducated!" Chen Jinyuan curled his lips, but Man Ling'er giggled in return. This Brother Chen is really an interesting person.

"Master, the master is back!"
When we arrived in front of a mountain gate, a string of torches flickered in front of us, and human voices were heard. A group of people rushed out, led by an old man with a gray beard.
"Grandpa Bai~" Man Li and Man Linger rushed forward to greet him.
"Where did you two go? The clan leader is really worried. He asked me to take people down the mountain to look for them. Uh... who are they?" When the old man with the white beard spoke, his beard trembled and he was very happy.
Before he finished speaking, he saw Chen Jinyuan and three others.
Looking at the clothes of Chen Jinyuan and the others, it was obvious that they were not barbarians. Although the barbarians were not very xenophobic, they did not have a good impression of foreigners. The white-bearded old man's brows suddenly frowned.
"Elder Bai, this is Brother Chen, and the two following are his friends. Today we encountered an iron-backed eagle near Hu Pao Mountain. It was Brother Chen who rescued us." Man Sheng said, and he could see that he
Very respectful to this old man.
The old man with a white beard is named Man Bai. He is also a great barbarian and is the right-hand man of the clan leader Man Tian. He also has a very high status in the entire barbarian tribe, so Man Sheng and others are very respectful to Man Bai.
"Iron-backed Eagle?!" Upon hearing the name of the Iron-backed Eagle, Manbai's cloudy eyes shrank immediately, obviously very surprised.
"Grandpa Bai, Brother Chen is so powerful. He shot that iron-backed eagle into ashes with just one arrow." When he talked about the iron-backed eagle, Man Ling'er immediately became interested and couldn't wait to praise Chen Jinyuan.
stand up.
"Oh?" A trace of surprise flashed in Manbai's eyes, and he looked at Chen Jinyuan with a hint of doubt. "Young man, where do you come from?"
Chen Jinyuan smiled. "Come from where you came from."
"Oh, you actually sang Buddhist verses with my old man!" Man Bai rolled his eyes immediately, shook his head and stopped asking. He said to Man Li and others, "Let's go back to the village first."
"Grandpa Bai~~" Man Li called Man Bai, who hesitated to speak.
"What?" Man Bai turned around and looked at Brute Li in confusion.
"Um, we, we lost more than 20 people. My father..."
Man Bai frowned. He had seen those corpses early in the morning, "It's okay. What you encountered was an iron-backed eagle. It's not easy to come back alive."
——
There is a canyon in the middle of the mountain. Daman Mountain is divided into two parts here. It turns into two peaks on the left and right, sandwiching the canyon in the middle. Entering the canyon is an open area. Many houses and farmhouses are built according to the mountain.
, this is where the barbarians have lived for generations.
There are two arrow towers built high at the mouth of the canyon. There are torches burning on the arrow towers and soldiers are patrolling. When Chen Jinyuan arrived on the first day of the new year, he thought he had arrived at some bandit's stronghold.
After entering the village, Manbai made some arrangements for Chen Jinyuan and the others, and then left with Man Ling'er, Man Li and others. He thought he was going to see the clan leader, because Chen Jinyuan could see Man Ling'er and the others leaving.
That pale face.
"Chen Jinyuan, how long are we going to stay here?" Lin Yilian is obviously a little uncomfortable with it. The memories she has been instilled since she was a child make her somewhat repelled by the barbarians.
"I plan to live here for the rest of my life." Chen Jinyuan picked up the tea on the table and tasted it. It was bland and tasteless. When he raised his head, he saw Lin Yilian's face that looked like a bitter melon, and couldn't help teasing.
"Dirty ball~" Lin Yilian turned her back angrily, still feeling a little worried about Chen Jinyuan talking and laughing with Man Ling'er just now.
"I said, don't be so prejudiced against barbarians!" Chen Jinyuan shook his head and said.
"I see, she is not prejudiced against the barbarians, but against you boy." Bandit Zhi interjected.
"Prejudice against me?" Chen Jinyuan was stunned, "That's not surprising, she has always been biased against me."
Thief Zhi shook his head and said with a sly smile, "It's not what you think. Your kid ignored me all the way and kept hooking up with that girl. She's jealous."
"You are so jealous!" Lin Yilian saw through her thoughts, and in embarrassment, she picked up a stool and threw it towards the thieves.
Robber Zhi chuckled, took the stool in one hand, turned it around a few times, and placed it safely on the ground.
"I'm dizzy, what does hookup mean? Do you know how to use adjectives?" Chen Jinyuan was speechless and turned to look at Lin Yilian's red face. It seemed that this was really what happened.
"Tch, what's the name of hookup if not hookup? When you were so powerful just now, I almost made a secret promise to you, Lord Thief." Thief Zhi curled his lips, and his smile was still as bad as before.
"Damn, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Chen Jinyuan rolled his eyes at Robber Zhi, turned around and hooked the corner of Lin Yilian's clothes, "Hey, girl, get me some footbath."
"You...bastard..." Lin Yilian stood up suddenly, looked at Chen Jinyuan with a livid face, remembered the previous bet, hesitated for a long time, and then ran out angrily.
"Hey, boy, isn't she angry anymore? Why don't you go after her?" Pirate Zhi saw Lin Yilian running out, and immediately knew that the joke seemed to have gone too far, so he quickly reminded Chen Jinyuan.
"Chasing a thread, I'm very tired. I'm waiting for her to wash my feet." Chen Jinyuan stretched out as if nothing had happened.
Tao Zhi glanced at Chen Jinyuan with disdain, but soon he saw Lin Yilian walking in with a basin of boiling hot water.
"You're awesome..." Thief Zhi's heart was completely confused for a moment.
Chen Jinyuan stretched out his legs like an old man. Lin Yilian gritted her teeth, wrinkled her nose and took off Chen Jinyuan's smelly shoes and socks.
"Wow, you woman want to burn me to death~"
"You deserve to be burned to death."
"Oh, uncle, I have rough skin and thick flesh, so I'm not afraid of getting burned."
"You're such a weak soul, you know how to bully me."
"You owe me more than eighty years. Pour out the footbath later and make my bed!"
"Wow, brat, let's talk about it. Master Thief, how about I use five thousand taels of gold to exchange for the forty years I gave you? I also want to try this supreme enjoyment."
