The white wolf was finally willing to tell his story, and we finally breathed a sigh of relief. The white wolf didn't have any aggression on his body, and his aura was relatively gentle. He was not a doer of evildoers. We were not willing to embarrass him, let alone
Have a grudge against it.
Now that it is willing to tell the story, it should mean that it no longer resents the fat man for dying by my sword.
Bai Lang paused for a few seconds before continuing: "I'm too young to remember things, so I'll start from when I remember them!"
I nodded.
Bai Lang continued: "The first time I met my adoptive father was when I was very young. I don't remember where my parents were. I only remember that I was very scared. I kept running, kept running,
Someone was chasing me from behind and kept shooting at me with bows and arrows."
"There are also some vicious dogs."
"Just when I almost ran out of strength, my adoptive father appeared and rescued me from the hands of those hunters."
"Later, my adoptive father took me to the village of those hunters, and he became good friends with those hunters, which is the village we are in now. The name of this village has only one word, called 'circle'.
They were all soldiers who fled in the late Ming Dynasty. They came here and intermarried with the Tibetan, Bai and Naxi people in Daowu to form a village. Because they were mainly Han people, the locals drew a big circle for them.
That circle is the scope of their activities and life. If you leave that circle, you will be punished by the local people."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but interject: "Isn't this called Daofu County? Why did it become Daowu?"
At this time, Hu Jiashu said from the side: "Daofu County was renamed later. It was called Daowu for a long time before. It is a Tibetan name, and it seems to mean 'horse'."
When someone answered for it, the white wolf continued: "My adoptive father has a very good relationship with the villagers. He also uses his medical skills to treat the diseases of the people in the village and teaches them some health-preserving methods."
"Later, my adoptive father changed my physique, and my spiritual wisdom gradually opened up. I also knew that my adoptive father's name was Chai Tong. He called himself Fat Taoist Master, and he came from Yunyou Dao. He felt that there was enough spiritual energy here, so he thought
Practice here for a while."
"I also learned that all the women of other ethnic groups who married into this village were slaves bought by the Han people here. At that time, the powerful people of each ethnic group here had their own slaves, and the deserters had money stolen along the way.
I bought some female slaves from local dignitaries to be wives, so many women in this village have very low status, and sometimes they are not even treated as human beings!"
"And those women seem to feel that they are still slaves and dare not resist at all."
Slaves!? I suddenly thought that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Tibetan side still had a semi-slave and semi-feudal social system. Many powerful people did have a lot of slaves in their hands, many slaves who were not regarded as human beings.
Bai Lang continued: "When my adoptive father was in that village, he mainly helped those wives who were 'slaves', because most of them were injured."
"At the same time, my adoptive father also advised the hunters in the village to treat their 'slave' wives better, telling them that even if they don't consider the health of their 'slave' wives, they must also consider their children!"
"Those hunters and villagers know that my adoptive father is very capable, and they agree well on the surface, but privately they don't take my adoptive father's words seriously at all."
"They still often scold their wives. If those wives give birth to sons, they will be nicer to their wives. If they give birth to daughters, they will beat their wives severely. When their sons grow up, they will be like them
Become a hunter and use the things you hunt nearby to exchange for female slaves to be your wives!"
"When the girls in the village grow up, they become slaves and are exchanged for animal skins or their gold and silver."
"Everything here was pathological at that time. Women had no status here. They were just property and tools for reproduction."
"My adoptive father wanted to change everything here, but after decades of hard work, the second generation of hunters here have all gotten married and had children, but nothing here has changed much!"
"Later, my adoptive father felt that if he wanted to completely change the status of women in this village, he had to make those women strong enough to frighten the men, so my adoptive father began to accept girls from the village as apprentices, and he only accepted girls from the village as apprentices.
Female apprentice!"
"The men in the village want to learn, but they can't learn the skills."
"Those girls learned Taoism from my adoptive father, so the men in the village could not bully them. This was the first time that the men in the village felt that their status was being challenged. They preferred to treat women as slaves."
"So the people in the village secretly went to find the dignitaries of other nearby tribes and asked them for a solution. One of the dignitaries introduced an evil lama to the people in the village. The evil lama was not actually a lama, but just in the name of a lama.
A swindling sorcerer."
"The elders of the hunter villagers brought a lot of treasures to the village. It is said that they can't spend them all in a few lifetimes, so the hunter villagers gave the evil lama some money and asked the evil lama to deal with my adoptive father."
"The dignitaries of other nearby tribes chose to help those hunters because they valued the treasures in the hands of the hunters. They wanted to continue to trade slaves for the treasures in the hands of the hunters."
"If that evil lama were to fight my adoptive father head-on, he would definitely not be his match, so he resorted to a trick and found a slave girl from somewhere else, and tattooed the girl's body with evil runes that sealed magical powers.
, and beat the girl seriously and threw her into the village."
"After my adoptive father found out, he definitely wanted to save the girl, so he fell under the evil spell of the evil lama. All his magical powers were useless! It turned out that the evil lama was also a magician with almost the power of a god, and he secretly performed tricks
, my adoptive father can only obey!"
"After my adoptive father was attacked, several of his female disciples and I wanted to save him, but we were no match for the evil lama and were defeated within a few strokes!"
"At that time, my adoptive father forcibly broke through the evil spell, but he was seriously injured after breaking through the evil spell. All he could do was throw me out of that village!"
"I was saved, but my adoptive father was seriously injured and could no longer resist."
"At that time, because I was just a wolf and had just started practicing, the evil lama didn't let anyone chase me, because apart from being smarter, I was no different from ordinary wolves, and I couldn't threaten them at all. In their eyes
, I am not as threatening as my adoptive father’s female disciples at all.”
"What followed was a dark day in the village. The evil lama took the money and left, but the hunters in the village began to retaliate crazily. They first stripped off his female disciple's clothes in front of my adoptive father, and then humiliated her crazily.
Then peel off their skins and hang them on several racks to dry!"
"They also carved two words on my adoptive father's face. They confused right and wrong, saying that my adoptive father had an affair with a female disciple and that they were just 'doing justice for heaven'."
"Really, it's really ridiculous when the words "Bei Tian Xingdao" come out of their mouths!"
"They did not kill my adoptive father, but cut off my adoptive father's meridians. According to the method taught by the evil lama, they inserted poisonous needles into my adoptive father's important meridians, eating away at my adoptive father's Taoism bit by bit!"
"I secretly ran back to the village. I wanted to save my adoptive father, but I really didn't have much ability at the time. I was discovered by hunters several times and was almost shot dead."
"But I didn't give up. But one time, I went to rescue my adoptive father. I fell into the trap of the hunters and was caught by them. They wanted to skin me!"
"On that night, my adoptive father gave up the last kindness in his heart and the chance to be a human being. He used the power of mind to kill himself and turned himself into a living dead. At the same time, his temperament changed drastically. Overnight, he committed suicide.
All the people in the village, including the hunters, women and children here!"
"Then he used some bronzes from the village's treasures to cast the bronze tripod, and also made a set of tools for peeling and sewing. In just a few dozen days, the entire village was made by my adoptive father.
Human skin and corpse!"
"However, his consciousness was not always violent. When he was awake, he sealed the entire village so that the outside world could no longer find the village, and the village also disappeared from the world."
"Because this village has only been around for a short time, it has not been recorded!"
"My adoptive father trapped himself in this village, and I have been practicing near the village. When my adoptive father wants to kill people, I will try my best to save those people and help him alleviate his sins!"
At this time, Hu Jiashu asked: "Two people disappeared here not long ago. Was it Chai Tong, your adoptive father who killed them?"
Bai Lang shook his head and said: "No, they have been sent away by me. They just got lost and did not enter this village! They have returned to the county safely now!"
At this time, Nangong Fan could not help but ask: "Where is that evil lama? Did you go to him later to avenge your adoptive father?"
Bai Lang said: "I looked for him. He died in a catastrophe and his soul was scattered. He deserved it!"
I nodded and then asked: "Where are those treasures? Are they still there now?"
When I asked this question, Nangong Fancong glared at me and said, "Are you still thinking about the treasure at this time?"
I shook my head and said: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the fat Taoist master and those corpses were not in the village during the day. They might have gone to the place where the treasure was hidden. Let's go there to check it out, just in case.
What legacy is left behind?"
Bai Lang said: "I will take you there in a moment!"
At this time, I couldn't help but ask again: "The Fat Taoist had the power of an immortal back then. If he had forcibly helped people in the village change their minds, wouldn't he have succeeded long ago? Why did he choose the preaching method?"
Bai Lang said: "My adoptive father said that Tao follows nature, and Tao is also natural. You cannot use Taoism to interfere with Tao. You can only use the more natural method of preaching. That is my adoptive father's Tao!"
What a saying: "Tao follows nature, and Tao is also natural." I felt that I was really touched by that fat Taoist master.
At this moment, Nangong Fanxong suddenly said to Bai Lang: "The Fat Taoist Master is no longer here, are you willing to follow us? Follow us to practice in this supernatural world!" (To be continued)
