Xiao Yu and his group have become the most distinguished guests in a short period of time, and this guest even has a deeper meaning.
The thing is a little weird, and the logic is very absurd. Naturally, no one will believe it in future generations.
But in this era, if you understand the totem culture of China's ancient ethnic minorities, you will understand that this kind of thing is reasonable.
And what a coincidence, the silver lynx Maomao turned out to be the totem of the Huzhao tribe.
And the silver lynx is the spiritual seed that the great witch begged from the witch god. Now that the great witch is sick, it seems that only Xiao Yu can cure it.
Nie Xiaoyu took the insect demon and his party to observe the ruthless lynx Maomao in secret. Many people wanted to find someone to ask why the totem of the Huzhao tribe was not an animal like a tiger or a panther, but why it became a silver lynx.
, and this ruthless lynx seems to be the... relative that their Emperor is looking for.
However, everyone guessed that this was all related to the fact that the master of the demon palace, Tengu, was the great shaman of the Huzhao clan.
In this way, Xiao Yu and his group followed a group of Huzhao tribesmen through the deep mountains and wild ridges.
More and more human traces gradually appear ahead, especially the appearance of a rugged mountain trail, which proves that there is indeed a large number of human life here.
A group of people walked along the trail and passed through a sky-line-like canyon, when the front suddenly opened up.
A very large valley appeared in front of everyone. In the middle of the valley, there was a large lake covering an area of thousands of acres. Surrounding the large lake were earth and stone houses, which almost occupied the entire valley.
Looking around, there are no less than nearly ten thousand houses.
Nie Xiaoyu glanced at it from a distance and roughly calculated that there were probably no less than 50,000 people living here. This was already comparable to a medium-sized county in Da'an, but for ethnic minorities, it was indeed considered a large tribe.
.
It seems that the Huzhao tribe has been thriving like a paradise for more than a hundred years, and its population is quite large.
As he got closer, Nie Xiaoyu discovered from a distance that there was a small river that was almost called a creek at the other end of the big lake. There was still water flowing in the small river. At the end of the creek, there was a waterfall with a huge drop, but the waterfall could not be heard.
There is often a huge roar when it falls.
Because whether it's a stream or a waterfall, there doesn't seem to be much water.
However, Xiao Yu initially thought that this was a paradise-like place. However, after entering the tribal gathering area, Xiao Yu suddenly realized that he had obviously used the wrong word when he said this was a paradise. The meaning would have been misunderstood.
This place can be called a world away from home, and there is nothing wrong with that, but Taoyuan, which represents a better life, is far from it.
This can only be described with four words: poverty, or even extreme poverty.
The eight words "not enough to eat and not enough clothes to cover your body" are the true portrayal of this place.
People here also farm and weave. Xiao Yu saw some farmland by the lake. Just by looking at the flatness of the fields, Xiao Yu knew that although the people here could not be considered to be in the slash-and-burn stage, they were not much better.
The clothes on his body are mostly animal skins and a small amount of linen, which are relatively finely sewn and have the unique patterns of the Huzhao people.
And it is very different from the loose clothing of the Han people. Perhaps the people here wear tight-fitting clothes to facilitate hunting in the mountains and forests, but they are also different from the six Nanzhao ethnic groups who are greatly influenced by Han culture.
The clothing is obviously different.
When such clothes are worn on women, their beautiful figures are immediately revealed, especially those little girls from the Huzhao tribe. I don’t know the reason why beautiful birds are born in the mountains and beauties are born in the firewood huts. Although the clothes are simple and simple, their faces are pretty.
Wearing tight clothes, everyone in Xiao Yu's group couldn't help but stare at her. There were some people with evil intentions, and their eyes already showed lewdness.
Along the barely flat road in the village, Xiao Yu and his group followed the Huzhao tribesmen in front of them and walked deeper into the valley.
Along the way, many members of the Huzhao tribe came out of their homes to watch them, with strong curiosity on their faces, pointing at their costumes and clothes.
But when these Huzhao tribesmen saw the silver lynx, they all knelt down towards the silver lynx with fiery and fearful expressions.
………
………
After entering the village, the more than 500 Huzhao warriors dispersed on their own. Instead, the twenty-four strongest and relatively well-equipped Huzhao warriors brought by Xiao Yu and his group were left behind.
Come down and ask Xiao Yu to leave most of the people in the village. They will arrange for people to take care of them and let Xiao Yu continue to follow them.
Xiao Yu guessed that he was going to see the great witch, the one who could be controlled for his own use as mentioned in the Imperial Preceptor's letter. He couldn't help but feel refreshed. After a slight hesitation, he ordered his subordinates to stay here.
With only four expert guards, they followed this group of warriors who were obviously different from other men of the Huzhao tribe and continued walking deeper.
The extremely handsome and huge silver lynx at the front always walked leisurely at the front.
After passing through the entire village and turning around a ridge, a group of buildings appeared in front of Xiao Yu and his group.
A building that is incompatible with the Huzhao village on the other side of the mountain ridge.
The houses in the village are dilapidated and simple, and many women of the Huzhao tribe are sallow and thin, but the buildings in front of them are magnificent and magnificent.
This is a palace, and it looks quite similar to the palace of the Han people outside the mountains.
And the great wizard lived in the palace.
"It seems that this great witch is probably not from the Huzhao tribe, but a Han." Xiao Yu looked thoughtfully at the palace, thinking about how he would be able to get him after meeting the great witch.
Take control and let it be used.
After seeing that the men of the Huzhao tribe were naturally strong and strong, and that there were 50,000 to 60,000 Huzhao tribesmen here, Xiao Yu vaguely had a bold idea.
This idea is related to the geographical location of the Huzhao tribe, and also because the Huzhao people seem to be relatively simple and easy to fool.
…
…
Xiao Yu and his party followed the more than 20 Nanzhao warriors into the palace, and their eyes lit up again.
Just now, the gate of the palace was blocked from view. Now when I came in, I found that the palace was extremely open, and half of the buildings were built on the mountainside, even right next to the waterfall.
Xiao Yu and his party meandered up a winding stone staircase, passed through several houses, and climbed hundreds of stone steps intermittently before finally arriving at the largest hall.
This hall is also the tallest building here. It is built on a cliff. It is so towering that people can only look up at it, which naturally gives people a sense of suffocation and oppression.
Even Xiao Yu, who has never believed in God, stood down
Looking up, one could not help but feel an inexplicable sense of solemnity and admiration, not to mention the degree of awe that the half-civilized Huzhao clan had for the great witch.
When they arrived here, the expressions of the twenty-four Sacred Tiger Warriors also became solemn, and Xiao Yu could see a fervent and unreserved admiration in their eyes.
"This... I'm afraid this great witch is not simple!" Xiao Yu looked at the expressions of more than 20 warriors of the Huzhao tribe in his eyes, frowned slightly, couldn't help feeling awe-inspiring, and raised his hand to touch the porcelain bottle on his chest.
, I thought whether something could be done today would depend on whether what the Imperial Master said in his letter was true.
Behind a huge rock behind the cliff where the palace was located, Nie Xiaoyu, Zhong Yao and others saw this scene in their eyes and couldn't help but frown.
The insect demon really hates these people who are like fanatical believers, because such people have no self, they have been spiritually hypnotized by the god or other existence in their hearts, and they can do the most extreme things in the world for the witch god in their hearts.
It doesn't matter if they end their lives in cruel ways, they will even harm their closest relatives without hesitation because of the words of the so-called messenger of the witch god on earth.
Therefore, in the eyes of the insect monster, any fanatic believer can no longer be called a human being, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a walking corpse. In fact, he is almost the same as the insect puppet he refined.
But Silver Lynx entered the hall regardless.
A warrior from the Huzhao tribe with a solemn and fanatical expression led Xiao Yu and four guards to climb a total of eighty-one steps and arrived at the gate of the hall.
The Huzhao warrior suddenly whispered to Xiao Yu and others: "Only the doctors can go in, and the others can only wait outside."
When Xiao Yu heard this, he immediately frowned. Although according to what the Imperial Master said in the letter, the great witch didn't dare to hurt him at all, so there should be no problem. But after all, he was unfamiliar with the place and was on the other side's territory. He was alone.
Literary man, if he is not protected by four masters, he will feel insecure.
But Xiao Yu was also a decisive person. After a moment of hesitation, he ordered his four subordinates to wait outside. He followed the Huzhao warrior into the main hall.
Xiao Yu knew that in this Huzhao tribe's territory, if the other party wanted to harm them, it would be useless even if he kept the hundred or so people he brought with him. Now the only support is what the national master said
Those words and the pills in the porcelain bottle in my arms.
Stepping into the high threshold of the hall, you can see a very magnificent hall inside. On the dome are the weird portraits of the Huzhao tribesmen holding various weapons. On both sides of the stone walls are people nearly two feet high.
The giant statue is different from any statue Xiao Yu has ever seen.
There are stoves in the four corners of the hall, burning brightly, making the hall as warm as spring.
After passing through a wide lobby and entering the main hall, Xiao Yu saw at a glance a white soft couch in the shape of a lotus. On the soft couch, there was a faint figure of not very large lying on it motionless, as if he was sleeping.
On both sides of the soft couch, six women between the ages of fifteen and sixteen were standing.
What surprised Xiao Yu and made her eyes light up was that these twelve women were all beauties with graceful figures and charming faces. And unlike other women who had realized themselves strictly, these twelve beauties were only
She wears a strand of hair to cover her shameless area, and her clothes are looming, so alluring.
