Among the Five Elements and Bagua, the west belongs to gold, the north belongs to water, the east belongs to wood, the middle belongs to earth, and the south belongs to fire.
Flames have different strengths and weaknesses. The Samadhi true fire of Taoism, the red lotus karma fire of Buddhism, the netherworld ghost fire of ghosts, the Nanmingli fire of witchcraft, and the chaotic sky fire of beasts and monsters are called the five elements of fire and are powerful.
Among the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang, there are often villages with fire.
For example, Tianhuo Dong is the largest of the Miao people, Lihuozhai is the largest of the Li people, Huolongshan is the largest of the Gaoshan people, etc. The Miao people have the smallest population among the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang. According to the latest statistics from the Chinese imperial court a hundred years ago, the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang have a total of
There are more than 17,300 large and small villages with a population of about 18 million, starting from the north of Lingnan in the east and south of Kunlun in the west, on the edge of tens of thousands of miles north of Shiwan Mountain.
Villages of the five ethnic groups can be seen everywhere.
Because the terrain in southern Xinjiang is complex and wild beasts are rampant, small villages with dozens of people are actually rare. Most of the villages have hundreds or thousands of people, and they are almost all gathering places for a single tribe. There are only a few villages like Yulong Village.
It is very rare to find a village where all clans live together.
Among these villages and populations, the Miao, as the most powerful among the five ethnic groups, do not have an advantage in terms of the number of villages or population. According to statistics, the Miao people mainly live in the mountains south of the five ethnic groups, with a population of less than three million.
There are less than 3,000 in number, but because they are far away from the edge of the Shiwan Mountains, they live with wild beasts in the mountains all year round, and live a primitive hunting life, which makes the Miao people naturally strong and brave.
Incomparable.
In addition, the Miao people's witchcraft skills are far superior to the other three ethnic groups, so every time there is a famine, the Miao people will always go out in groups to fight the autumn wind and grab food for the winter among their Zhuang brothers, who have the largest population.
Tianhuo Dong is built close to the mountains. The tall and thick peaks are not much concessions compared to Yulong Village.
Miao Nu, who had a conflict with Ye Xiaochuan and others that day, came to Tianhuo Dong at dusk.
Under the setting sun, groups of young warriors can be seen everywhere, walking out of the mountains in the distance. Those who carry a mountain jumper with them will be despised. Those who come back with an elk will be considered qualified. If they are fighting against a mountain jumper,
A big black bear or a striking white-fronted tiger will be worshiped by the tribe.
As for some unlucky ones who hadn't caught any prey all day, they lowered their heads to their crotches when they entered the village and were too embarrassed to see anyone.
The women in the village were weaving linen at the door while talking and laughing at the men who had not caught the prey. Sometimes in the middle of the joke, they found that the man being laughed at was one of their own men. At that time, the women's cheeks would turn red with shame.
It's useless to scold your own men. At this time, children are the happiest. Countless young children circle around the warriors carrying big wild boars, big tigers, and big black bears at the entrance of the village, singing with admiration on their faces.
Song, and then yelling in a gibbering voice, when he grows up, he will also be a bear hunter and a tiger hunter.
The patriarchal warrior.
As for this hunting, how many brave young tribesmen died in the mouths of wild beasts was not what they cared about.
Civilized in spirit, barbaric in body.
In this primitive tribe that still lives a slash-and-burn farming life and drinks blood from its raw materials, they rarely worship smart people, but rather worship powerful people.
Standing on the steps on the mountainside, Miao Nu looked at the lively Tianhuo Dong in front of her. Her serious expression gradually softened, but then she became a little sad again. No one knew what was sad in her heart.
As the legitimate daughter of the Miao clan leader, although she cannot inherit the position of clan leader like her elder brother, she can still live a safe and prosperous life and spend her life with the bravest warrior in the clan.
Unfortunately, she was different from most Miao girls since she was a child. She did not worship powerful warriors, but devoted herself to the art of witchcraft, and her talent was extremely high.
When she was seven years old, she learned witchcraft from the great wizard of the tribe. Now she is the person with the highest witchcraft skills among the Miao wizards, except for the great wizard. She will not be at a disadvantage even if she fights against the strong cultivators from China.
In the past two years, she has practiced in Middle-earth, gained extensive knowledge, and has made considerable research on the cultivation techniques of Middle-earth, and has made rapid progress in witchcraft.
I'm afraid she is the only one in the entire Southern Xinjiang who knows what the situation is in Middle-earth. While Middle-earth has been preparing for the catastrophe for two years, the people of all ethnic groups in Southern Xinjiang have not yet realized that the danger is coming.
This time when she came back from the Middle Earth, she passed by the Yulong Village and accidentally met people from the Cangyun Sect. She also learned that the Cangyun Sect and the Central Earth cultivators went to Southern Xinjiang to find the Jade Slip Cave in Wushan, Southern Xinjiang. She became keenly aware of this.
I felt like something was wrong.
"Gelsang, you are back!"
From the stone steps behind him, a rich man's voice came, full of energy, and he sounded like a powerful warrior.
The Miao girl named Gesang looked back, her sad expression disappeared instantly, revealing a smile as beautiful as a Gesang flower.
She shouted: "Brother!"
Gray is only three years older than Gesang, but at this moment, the brother and sister are standing together. If they are said to be father and daughter, there will be absolutely no objection.
Gray is forty-seven years old, six feet tall, with dark skin and a curly beard. The forty-four-year-old Gesang looks like a girl under twenty. Although her skin is a little dark, she has no wrinkles and her eyes are
Bright as the most beautiful star in the sky.
This is the difference between cultivators and ordinary mortals.
In another fifty years, Kelsang's appearance will not change much, but at that time, even if Gray is not dead, he will still look old and out of shape.
Gray said: "You went to Middle-earth this time for two full years. The war slave came back a few days ago and said that you had a fight with a Middle-earth monk in Yulong Village. Were you not injured?"
Gesang sighed and said, "Brother, do you really not believe in my little sister's witchcraft?"
Gray laughed and said: "Cultivation in Middle-earth is indeed unique. You also saw the power of the madman's sword two years ago. Isn't my brother afraid that you will suffer a loss?"
Gesang thought of that night two years ago, when a madman flattened a mountain with one sword, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
She said: "Where's dad? I have something to tell him."
Gray shrugged and said: "The clan leader of Tianxing Village has passed away. My father went to pay his respects half a month ago, but he hasn't come back yet. Now I have the final say in the affairs of the clan. If you have any questions, just tell me!"
"
Gesang frowned. There were some things that Gray didn't know, so he said, "I'll go see the great wizard right away."
After saying that, she spread out her arms, transformed into a six-legged emperor bird, and flew towards the altar at the top of the mountain.
Gray stamped his feet and shouted: "Is it amazing if you can fly?"
Soon, Gesang flew to the top of the mountain. There was a large platform here. Except for some wizards in white robes, no other ordinary tribesmen could be seen. Gesang landed on the platform of the top of the mountain and changed from the appearance of a strange bird.
She became that beautiful little girl. When several wizards in white robes saw her, they crossed their hands in front of their chests and saluted. Obviously, Kelsang's status among wizards was also quite high.
