Lou Xiaoyining didn't know the rules between them, so he was thinking that the next step would be to distribute the goods of his caravan? But he didn't expect that the twenty or so Liang people would all look at them.
On the lively spectators!
It turns out that the mountain people are tough and simple. Compared with the mountain people on the other side of the mountain, they look down on people who have no courage. This means that the official-style guy obviously can't fight, but he still rushes up and throws a few punches and then
The reason why I pretended to be injured and fell down!
Seeing several Liang people approaching with ill intentions, Lou Xiaoyi sighed. Sure enough, it was wrong to watch the excitement, as it would not please both sides.
But before he could speak, the woman in the family of four made a move before him. She gently patted the swaddling clothes in her hand, and immediately, the baby's voice sounded like a ghost crying like a wolf!
Immediately, something crawled out of the swaddling clothes. It had a big head and a small body, and looked a bit like a salamander. It was very strange.
Regardless of whether they were Liang people or Dai Viet people, those who were standing knelt down one after another, and those who were lying down had to turn over and lie on the ground, calling them baby mothers!
The border land is so weird, Lou Xiaoyi knew that he had encountered the religious religion of the Congling natives.
The woman didn't say anything, and the salamander howled a few times and then shrank back into its swaddling clothes, as if nothing had happened.
In the Chongling area, whether it is the Dai Viet side or the Liang side, the mountain people believe in the Taoist religion and the Wo religion.
The Wo Religion has a Holy Infant, and those who are responsible for raising and protecting the Holy Infant are the infant mothers. Their status in the Wo Religion is transcendent and cannot be taken lightly. This is not only their status, but also because the combat effectiveness of the Wo Religion is reflected in these infants.
Enter Mothers and Their Holy Child.
To put it bluntly, this is a cultivation sect that specializes in raising spiritual pets, but the spiritual pets they raise are very single, which is a kind of spiritual newt; and their Taoism is more inclined to the incantation lineage of Taoism, and then
Coupled with the special environment and audience, the unique totem culture took shape, and the Wo religion was formed. It is also a Taoism with a long life in this world. People in the world often call it a cult, but in fact they just don’t understand their traditions.
The reason why culture cannot accept that they prefer the cultural methods left by their ancestors is not because of how many evil things this sect has done and how many people they have killed.
There was no need for the infant mother to say anything more. The two parties in the fight helped each other up, put their arms around each other, and exchanged greetings. Unknowingly, they had broken the ribs of the other party just now.
This is how the Congling mountain people get along with each other. On both sides of Congling, they belong to two different countries and share the same Wo religion. They confront each other in integration and survive in contradictions. It is difficult to say that the country is against each other.
Their influence is greater, or faith is their only support for survival.
It is difficult for this kind of approach to exist in other countries in the world, because they do not have the coexistence of barbarism and simplicity of the Congling Mountain people. How can one have the same culture and the same character if the soil and water support the other people?
This at least taught Lou Xiaoyi how to face different concepts in his future practice. He is still growing up, and the world he sees is too small, his vision is too limited, and he has not experienced much. Although compared to ordinary mortals, he has seen a lot.
He lives in a worldly world, but among practitioners, he is a real ant.
Fortunately, he has never been a nosy person, nor is he a person with a strong sense of justice. Although he can't remember who he was in his previous life, the ideas left by him in his previous life are still exerting a subtle influence on him.
Hold him.
Of course, the goods will not be divided any more. After a fight, both sides got nothing. The only gain was a large number of injured people. Skin and flesh injuries were common, and there were also many people with broken muscles and bones. But the Congling Mountain people
His strength was also vividly displayed at this time. He climbed on the donkey and continued on his way, as if it was just a small dispute, and it was a part of life.
The caravan continued on its way, because there were babies and mothers accompanying the passengers, and the attitude of the mountain people became extremely respectful. This was not the false affection or flattery of the inferiors in the outside world towards the superiors, but the true respect from the heart.
There was a guide and six guards guarding them closely, as if this family of four were the most precious thing in the pack team;
As a traveler, Lou Xiaoyi also enjoys such protection, but the simple mountain people's respect for the baby mother is sincere, and their disdain for him, who is as timid as a mouse and an incompetent person who hides behind women, is also undisguised.
.
He doesn't care!
Not every incident requires you to stand up and pretend to be a hero. Sometimes it is fun to watch others pretend!
In his feeling, this woman's cultivation level should be in the late stage of breathlessness, which is essentially different from his, but he has no idea what is special about that salamander. If there is a dispute, he will be the first to do so.
Time killed that thing...
It's just a plan, it's basically impossible to happen. This woman behaves very low-key, which is also the nature of a cultivator, so it's not surprising.
During the night's camping, a family of four was also arranged in the most central location. Of course, Lou Xiaoyi had nothing to do in this place. The next day, he took the initiative to keep a distance from the family of four and fell to the end of the team. Although he
I don’t want to be in the limelight, but I’m also not interested in facing other people’s glares every day.
When he fell to the end, he naturally got involved with the two mountaineer guards who were in the dark. In view of his poor performance in watching the melee, even the Congling mountaineer who didn't like to talk couldn't help but sarcastically said,
"Are the Teruya people always so weak? The Teruya men don't even dare to join a battle where they know there will be no death! I really doubt how the Teruya country survives? Is it through marriage?"
Lou Xiaoyi really didn't want to be pretentious with these muscle-minded mountain people, but he had nothing to do. In fact, this journey was a bit too boring for him.
"First of all, in terms of history, Zhaoye is much longer than Dai Viet. You laugh at Zhaoye, just like the summer cicada laughs at the blue bird. Are you trying to compare whose vitality is stronger?
Isn't it ridiculous that a man with a bruised nose and face who has been beaten all day long wants to show off to others about his bravery, as if the scars all over his body represent his glory?
Zhaoye's neighbors know very well whether Zhaoye is strong and how he can survive. Unfortunately, Dai Viet is not qualified to know this!
As for your games on the glacier, children can play these tricks in the night, but they can’t do it when they grow up. Who hasn’t been ignorant for a few days when they were young?”
Quarreling, how could the mountain people be Teruya Shizi's opponents, but they held on to one point,
"You are a young man with hands and feet, but you are under the protection of others the whole time. You are like a baby. Even babies are more effective than you!"
Lou Xiaoyi was very serious, "Please understand the fact that I spent money!
A full fifty taels of silver is enough to live on for a family for one or two years in Dai Viet, so why should I give it to you?
Isn’t it just for you to contribute? If I don’t need your protection, why should I spend this money? My family is not a mining company?
Is this a deal? Got it?
If you have strength, then contribute your strength! If others have money, then contribute money! Everyone has his own expertise, those who are officials, those who study, those who are in business, those who fish, those who hunt... What you are selling is your strength, but now you are here Do you blame me for not being able to protect myself?
Then if you go to buy ironware, can the blacksmith tell you whether you want to buy it or not, and if you are not satisfied, just buy it yourself?
You still have the nerve to talk about fighting. Since you have collected the money, you should shoulder the responsibility. Now, you are unreasonably putting your guests in unnecessary danger. Do you blame the guests for not being brave enough?
I gave you fifty taels of silver just to come here and get beaten up?"
