We suddenly came to a similar primitive tribe in the hinterland of Bashu. However, after arriving, we found that this could never be called truly primitive because there was too much atmosphere of outside life here. Of course, except that there was no electricity here,
The basin is plastic, and they also use towels, soap, and I even saw a facial mask packaging box.
A group of people speaking something we didn’t understand, and a bunch of familiar daily necessities, made me feel a huge sense of discomfort. Finally, I went to ask Aza, and there was no one to communicate with except him. He was the only one.
, spoke broken Mandarin, and finally Aza smiled and said to me: I am responsible for purchasing things outside. The prey, skins, and bones we hunt will be taken to the city to exchange for money. This is a very simple matter.
If you go out like this, you won't be regarded as a monster, I asked him.
Aza smiled and said: No, because there are many people wearing ethnic minority costumes in this place, and there are even many ghosts in Fengdu. So it is not strange even if you wear animal skin clothes and go out.
Now I'm even more puzzled. This is not an isolated village, but why don't we move to the city? Is it because I like the natural environment in the mountains?
After I asked this question, Aza looked a little unnatural and said: It's not that the tribe doesn't want to move outside the mountains, but the wizards don't allow it. It's been a lot better these years. I can go outside the mountains to buy some things.
But the wizard has given an order that if I teach any tribesman to speak foreign language, I will be executed. We, the tribesmen, shoulder the mission of God.
I didn't ask any further. It was a very clear question. In primitive tribes, wizards have an unparalleled status. This is tantamount to a policy of obscuring the people. Once the people of this tribe have mastered wisdom, who will listen to him?
After the conductor figured this out, I almost wanted to leave. No matter how stupid I was, I still smelled danger.
No one knows how overly excited the xenophobic wizards will be when facing outsiders like us.
Thinking of this, I said to Aza: Can you go and treat my friend's feet first?
Aza said: Don't worry, the wizard will only come out at night, and our leader will hold a grand banquet at night to welcome the warrior who defeated him.
I nodded, didn't say anything, and went to the river to find the fat man. Yes, the river, because until now, we haven't even been given a place to stay by the hospitable tribesmen, and the poison on the fat man's feet made him furious.
, so he soaked his feet by the small river at the entrance of the village.
I told them the information I had gathered, Heisan said: I mean, in what era is there such a tribe?
The fat man curled his lips and said: Don't talk nonsense. I'll heal the foot in the evening and we will leave immediately. In this kind of place without law, we are no different from animals in their eyes. Don't be treated as heretics by the wizards.
Organize it.
It seemed that the fat man had the same idea as me, and the villagers were fine. Mainly because of the strange-sounding wizard, which really gave people a very bad feeling.
At night, the leader came over, picked up Lin Erdan, put Lin Erdan on his neck, and walked toward the village cheering and jumping. It seemed that Aza was right. In their eyes,
The warrior with the greatest strength will receive the greatest respect.
They walked in front, and we followed behind, and stepped into a circle of bonfire. It was very much like a bonfire party that I had only seen on TV before, with burning flames and game meat that was roasted on the outside and tender on the inside. Even though the fat man was seriously injured and his hands were full of oil after eating, looking at the singing and dancing villagers, our original vigilance faded a lot. I was even a little ashamed to doubt such a group of simple and kind-hearted people.
The dances of the villagers had a different kind of beauty. Later, several girls came to me without any shame and invited Hei San to dance with them. This made my brother quite hurt. Are you guys like this? The crowd was also looking at Heisan's face and was still unwilling to go. These girls would not leave just because they were rejected. Instead, several girls dragged Heisan to attend their feast.
It was such a happy atmosphere that I felt a little envious.
Just when we had almost forgotten all our worries and completely integrated into the joyful atmosphere, everyone on the field, including the leader, suddenly knelt down in one direction. The four of us who did not kneel down even became Weird, I was holding the leg of an unknown animal in my hand. I couldn't eat it or put it down, because a person walked in the dark, and there were even two little people beside him.
The three people were different from the villagers. They wore huge black robes. The robes were very long. Only a human figure could be seen, and even the face could not be seen. I knew that the wizard was coming.
Should we kneel or not? I asked the fat man next to me.
When I asked, I found that the fat man was already on guard. He was holding a Bagua plate in his hand and said: Kneel down on the woolen thread, this old guy is not normal.
What's going on? When the fat man said that, I became nervous.
The yin energy is very strong, and it doesn't look like a person at all. The fat man frowned. After saying that, he put away the Bagua plate again and said: Don't act rashly. Take a look before talking. This guy is so weird.
When I looked at the wizard who was covered in black robes and being supported by two identical little black robes, I felt weird no matter how I looked at him.
Hei San and Lin Erdan seemed to have sensed something. They moved slowly towards the direction of us.
The wizard walked slowly outside the fire. Whether this guy was real or fake, at least he definitely had a great deterrent effect in front of the tribesmen. Those tribesmen were lying on the ground now, not only respectful, but I can even see the feeling of fear.
The atmosphere instantly became weird.
The wizard walked straight towards the direction of the four of us. At this time, Tashi climbed up and said something to the wizard, pointing at the fat man's feet from time to time, which seemed to be introducing us. After the situation was over, the wizard did not speak, but bowed to us, bent down, and grabbed the fat man's feet.
I saw the fat man take out the Bagua plate again, and pressed him firmly with one hand, signaling him not to act rashly. So far, this wizard has done nothing. I pressed the fat man's hand and kept dying. Staring at this weird wizard.
I saw his hand holding the fat man’s foot. What kind of hand was that?
His nails were dry and as long as those of an old Montenegrin monster, and his wrinkled hands had spots after spots. Those were not age spots, but corpse spots.
I bit the tip of my tongue and calmed down due to the severe pain. I must not act rashly. Now that the four of us are taking action, these villagers who were friendly to us just now will never stand on our side. What's more important is that , this wizard, from the beginning to now, has not shown any hostility towards the four of us.
There was no hostility, but it already made me sweat all over my body.
He held the fat man's hand like this for a long time, as if he knew we were nervous and deliberately maintained a stalemate. In the end, he withdrew the hand that made people feel cold just by looking at it, and the smaller black robe next to him I pinched some herbs in my hand and pressed it on the fat man's wound.
He stood up, and this time, he bowed to me. Then he said something that I couldn't understand. I quickly looked at Aza, trying to ask for his translation.
The wizard is showing respect to you, the descendant of the dragon outside, Aza said.
I looked at the wizard again and found that his empty black robe was still looking in my direction. I even felt the smile on his face. "Descendants of the Dragon," this sentence really means too much. It can be said by all descendants of Yan and Huang. He said that he is the descendant of the dragon. It is even possible that he saw through half of the dragon spirit in me, so he said that.
I thanked the wizard for me and apologized for disturbing him. I also bowed to the wizard and said to Aza.
Aza continued to say a few words to the wizard. The wizard glanced at us, turned around and sat on an empty seat. This seat was in the best position. No one dared to sit down before he came.
I asked Aza what the wizard said just now.
Azha said: The wizard said that tonight, several distinguished guests will stay at the house of that guest from decades ago. Decades ago, an outsider came to our place. According to my father, it was with that person. I learned it. Later, my father gave it to me. After Tashi finished speaking, he returned to the crowd. After the wizard took his seat, the villagers continued to sing and dance.
Could it be that I was too nervous and saw it wrong? Those were age spots, not corpse spots, I asked.
It's not wrong. Although he has a lot of herbal smells on his body, I still smell a faint smell of corpse. I can't be wrong. Don't forget what I do. Heisan said.
Really a corpse
The fat man stared at his feet. The herbal medicine was very effective. The swelling on his feet had been eliminated. Although the wound was far from healed, at least the color had returned to normal.
While I was puzzled, I was also glad that we were not Taoist priests from Maoshan who came here to catch ghosts. It has nothing to do with us what this wizard is like. So far, he has not shown any hostility towards us, and we will not be here. , Fatty’s feet are almost good, so we will continue to move forward to find the location of the Kunlun Dragon Fetus.
The party lasted until midnight. Aza took us to an old house at the entrance of the village and said, "Friend, I'm very sorry. The wizard does not welcome outsiders. This is the house where that person came to live decades ago." , even after that person moved in, this place has become a forbidden area.
Forbidden land, I wondered.
Yes, the wizard does not allow any clan members to approach this house.
