Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty The Battle of the Yao Clan
Zhao Ling glanced at Chu Nan and said with a smile, "This benefactor doesn't quite understand the classification of our local Yao people at first glance.
The Yao people have been divided into many races since ancient times, with different belief totems and cultures. Although they are related by blood, customs and ancestors are generally the same, there are still many differences.
These differences evolved into various Yao tribes."
"The Yao people can be found in many places. As far as the Shennong area is concerned, there are four main branches.
In addition to the most powerful White Yao and Black Yao, there are also the Red Yao and our Qing Yao.
The totem the White Yao people believe in is the white fox, the Black Yao people believe in the crocodile, the Red Yao people believe in the carp, and the Qing Yao people believe in the divine dragon."
"Dragon?"
Chu Nan was stunned, then said, "Does it refer to the dragon in ancient mythology?
Isn’t that the same as the ancient totem of the Huaxia tribe?”
"It's different. The Huaxia tribe believes in the golden dragon, while our tribe believes in the green dragon."
Zhao Ling explained with a smile, "It is said that in ancient times, our Qingyao people were protected by a green snake that had practiced for thousands of years. At that time, we believed in the green snake. But one day, the green snake successfully overcame the tribulation and could soar into the clouds.
However, he was willing to give up the opportunity to ascend to heaven, land and disappear into the mountains and forests, and continue to guard the Qingyao people forever.
From that day on, the Qingyao people respected him as Master Shenlong, and the totem became a portrait of Qinglong."
"Oh, so that's it..." Chu Nan vaguely seemed to have grasped something, and became quite excited.
If this legend of the Qingyao people is true, is it possible that the green dragon that protects their people is the Chinese dragon vein mentioned in the ancient book Qingyun Zhi?
This is completely possible! Not to mention whether the myth of a green snake transforming into a dragon is true. After all, nothing comes out of nowhere. In the Shennong Reserve, the Qingyun Chronicle records that there are dragon bones and dragon veins, which may be referring to
Maybe the azure dragon incarnates?
Could it be that I really made a mistake and randomly guessed the right place?
Could it be that the Qingyao people living in Samba Village might know where the dragon veins and bones are hidden?
Thinking of this, Chu Nan couldn't help but become more excited.
Although Yudie did not go as far as Chu Nan thought, she knew very well that as long as it was related to dragons, it might be of great help in finding the dragon bones and dragon veins.
The minibus drove bumpily along the way. When it reached a mountainside cliff, Zhao Ling took the initiative to ask the driver to stop the car. After opening the door, with the help of Chu Nan, he threw the bodies of the three Bai Yao warriors off the cliff.
, came a corpse and destroyed all traces.
Of course, the passengers on the bus were also warned to keep their mouths shut.
In fact, even if Zhao Ling didn't warn, these honest poor people would not be nosy and go around publicizing this kind of thing, otherwise their lives would not be saved by then, so they are not that stupid.
As time went by, Chu Nan slept in the car for more than three hours. After riding in the car from morning to afternoon, he finally arrived at the small town on the edge of the Shennong Reserve, where the Black Yao people gather.
As soon as he got out of the car, Chu Nan could see the real differences between the branches of the Yao people.
Compared with the Bai Yao costumes, the ethnic costumes worn by the Black Yao people in this small town are obviously darker, and the totems on the clothes are also different.
Zhao Ling and the injured old man warmly invited Chu Nan and Yudie to visit the Qingyao people. The four of them found a small shop in the town to eat something to fill their stomachs and then set off on their way.
Unlike before when we came to this town and there were minibuses, there were only tractors when we went to Shennong Nature Reserve.
With no other choice, Chu Nan had no choice but to get into the car and continue to move forward amidst the unique roar of the tractor.
"How far is it from the Qingyao people's village?"
Chu Nan got on the tractor and asked aloud, "Should we sit there for another four or five hours?"
"After a while, a tractor will take us into the Shennong Nature Reserve, which is about a two-hour drive. Then we will walk on the mountain road for about two hours, and we will basically be able to reach the Samba Village."
Zhao Ling's answer made Chu Nan almost faint. Although the scenery along the way was beautiful, the journey was too painful.
Fortunately, he has reached the muscle-tempering stage. If he were before, his bones would fall apart?
After sitting on the tractor away from the town, looking at the beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains and breathing in the fresh air, Chu Nan gradually felt less bad. Except for the bumpy mountain road that made his butt feel a little uncomfortable, everything else was fine.
"I said, why do you act like nothing is wrong?
Aren’t you uncomfortable being tossed around like this?”
Chu Nan glanced at Yudie, who was still sitting quietly next to him, and couldn't help asking strangely.
"In order to kill people, I have climbed dozens of miles of mountain roads without getting tired. What does this mean?"
Yudie glanced at him contemptuously and said, "It's just that a pampered guy like you can't bear the hardship."
Damn, he was actually despised by a woman! How could this feel like he was not like a man?
It’s really unbearable! “Who said I can’t endure hardship?
I'm enjoying my journey now, but I'm just worried that you might be overwhelmed and ask with concern.
Damn, you’re really kind-hearted and acting like a donkey’s liver and lungs.”
Chu Nan couldn't help but replied, and had no intention of looking for trouble again.
As time passed, the tractor carrying four people gradually entered the depths of the mountains in the Shennong area.
The road here is worse than when we took the minibus before. The mud is so deep in many places that it would not have been possible if it hadn't been for a tractor.
Seeing too much beautiful scenery will make you bored. Chu Nan was really bored. He took the initiative to lean next to Zhao Ling, coughed twice and said with a smile, "Zhao Ling, sitting on the tractor is really boring, let's talk?"
Zhao Ling glanced at Chu Nan and said with a smile, "We can chat, but I still don't know your name, my benefactor?"
"Oops, look at me...I forgot to introduce myself."
Chu Nan smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Chu Nan. I am a college student from the Southeast Province of China. I am twenty-three years old this year."
"It turns out that the benefactor's name is Chu Nan, and he comes from Southeast Province."
Zhao Ling thought for a while and then said, "I once listened to the teacher's history class when I was a child, and I knew where the Southeast Province was.
It is close to the coast and is a very developed and wealthy place in China, right?"
"It's not bad. It's not as good as the truly developed provinces, but it's still okay."
Chu Nan smiled and said, "If you have the opportunity, I welcome you to visit Southeast Province. We can be regarded as friends who have experienced life and death together."
"Thank you, my benefactor. In fact, I have longed for the world outside the mountains for a long time.
It's a pity... I can't abandon my people, I have to fight for their survival."
Zhao Ling looked a little gloomy and said, "The Yao people have a high degree of autonomy in their territory, and the government doesn't ask too much about our ethnic affairs.
Although this will not cause racial antagonism, it will make it difficult for our weak Qingyao people to survive in the cracks and not be well protected..." Hearing Zhao Ling say this, Chu Nan became somewhat interested, and he smiled
He said, "Don't be a benefactor but not a benefactor. Zhao Ling, you should be younger than me, right?"
How about I just call you sister Ling'er?"
"Well, then... then I will take the liberty of calling you Brother Chu Nan."
Zhao Ling nodded shyly.
When the brother and sister call each other like this, they undoubtedly shorten the distance between them.
Chu Nan responded, "Sister Ling'er, if you consider me a friend, can you tell me why you are being hunted down by the Bai Yao people?
I'm just curious, do the Qingyao and Baiyao people have a bad relationship?
Then why are you going to the Bai Yao tribe’s territory?”
