"Haunted?" Wu Zhongyuan turned his head to look at Yu Qingdu, "Why did Patriarch Yu say this?"

Everyone was on the tower of the city wall on the east side at this time, and when they heard Wu Zhongyuan's words, Yu Qingdu stretched out his hand and pointed eastward, "In the early years, some clansmen went out to sea to fish, and the mast was broken and swept into the sea by the waves, and they floated with the waves for many days. ”

"When did this happen?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, although the old blind man knew the specific location of Turtle Island, but he did not land on the island in person, but the old blind man had mentioned that there was a fog around Turtle Island.

"It's been more than thirty years. Yu Qingdu said.

"How many people were on board at that time, and are these people still there?" asked Wu Zhongyuan.

Yu Qingdu hadn't answered yet, and Huang Youyun on the side took over the conversation, "There are three people, all of whom have passed away, one of them is my uncle, about the situation on Turtle Island, he has told me a few times, and I know that they are more detailed than the patriarch." ”

"There is the patriarch of Lao Huang. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Huang Youyun relied on the giant crossbow to recall for a moment, and then spoke, "They didn't land on that island back then, they just drifted from the south of the island, because of the black fog around the island, they couldn't really see the situation on the island, but they saw that there seemed to be a ruined city on the island, and they vaguely heard the crying and laughing of ghosts and the strange sound of the piano. ”

"What time of day was it when they drifted near the island?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It's noon. Huang Youyun said.

"Have you seen anyone on the island?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Huang Youyun shook his head, "No, I just heard the crying and laughing of the ghost." ”

"Is it a person or a group of people who are crying and laughing?"

"It's a woman's voice, it's hard to tell the age," Huang Youyun said, and added, "It's weird and crazy when I cry and laugh." ”

Wu Zhongyuan didn't rush to ask again, he needed time to sort out the messy clues.

When the old blind man traveled everywhere in his early years, he once saw a man in black who could transform his body from the East China Sea, and this person's body was a bird, and when he transformed his body, he could transform his weapon together, and this person lived on Turtle Island.

The old blind man did not make it to the island, but he knew that there was a magical fruit on the island that could transform everything outside his body. Since the old blind man did not land on the island, it means that in addition to his own observations, these things are mixed with some hearsay.

However, although the old blind man mentioned that there was a bird on the island that could turn into a man in black, he did not mention that there was a ruined city on the island, nor did he mention that there were women on the island.

After groaning, Wu Zhongyuan asked, "What else do you know about that island?"

Huang Youyun shook his head and said, "Although we have lived by the sea for generations, we rarely go to the deep sea, there are many winds and waves in the sea, and our boats are too small to withstand it. ”

Huang Youyun said, Yu Qingdu nodded in agreement, "Yes, they floated for more than ten days before they went to the vicinity of Turtle Island, if it weren't for a few heavy rains during the period, and finally suddenly changed the direction of the wind, they are afraid that they would have been buried in the sea." ”

"How much do you know about the merman?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Not much, I just know that they are fierce and aggressive, and the current leader is named Chalang," Yu Qingdu shook his head, "They rarely come to the shore, and they have nothing to do with us." ”

After Yu Qingdu said, Huang Youyun said, "The area where the mermen are active is in the northeast of here, and they have some contacts with the bird clan, if you want to know their situation, you can go to the bird clan to investigate." ”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, in fact, he knew the general area of the merman's activities, but seeing the merman was not the main purpose of his trip, and the area where the merman was active was not in the same direction as Turtle Island.

"What are you doing on Turtle Island?" Huang Youyun was a little curious.

"Go find something. Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

Huang Youyun nodded and didn't ask again.

Everyone knows that Wu Zhongyuan is very interested in their bow and crossbow, and has never hidden his secrets, not only took him to visit, but also arranged a test shot, the power of the bow and crossbow mainly depends on the tension of the bowstring, the bow and crossbow wrapped with dragon tendons can withstand greater tension, the range is more than three times that of ordinary bows and arrows, large landlines are mainly divided into two kinds of throwing stones and arrows, which can be subdivided into more than a dozen different models, of which there are two of the most powerful, one is called Tiangang crossbow, which is more powerful than the Zhuge crossbow in later generations, and can shoot thirty-six giant arrows at a time, mainly attacking large targets。 There is also a type called the Earth Evil Bow, which can shoot seventy-two small arrows, which fan over a large area and are mainly used to attack small targets.

Although the power is amazing, but the production cost is also very high, the main body of wood can not withstand so much force, most of the parts need to be cast with metal, and at this time the metal is very valuable, the cost of manufacturing Tiangang crossbow and earth bow is very amazing, any one at least two thousand catties of metal, before he had extorted 10,000 catties of copper and iron from Taipingzhai, all of them can only be used to build five, which is also destined to be difficult to popularize Tiangang crossbow and earth bow in large quantities.

Visited the bow and crossbow, Yu Qingdu and others took Wu Zhongyuan to visit the stone tower in the city, what they didn't know was that Wu Zhongyuan had been here before, but Wu Zhongyuan couldn't tell them that he had come, he could only go up with them layer by layer, the stone tower has a total of seven layers, in addition to a lot of grease and dragon tendons, the skin that was dried outside before was also well moved in, and the snakeskin Jiao skin is also very useful, not only can be used to make soft armor, but also can be used to make shoes, at this time people wear shoes are divided into three kinds, straw shoes are the most, ordinary people wear straw sandals。 Leather shoes are second, at this time leather shoes are not a concept with modern leather shoes, and can be called leather ties, and all animal skins can be used to make leather ties. The least were cloth shoes, which were sewn layer by layer from linen cloth and were mostly used by the royal family.

Grease is also very versatile, not only can be used to smelt metals, but also can be used for lighting, Jiao oil is different from ordinary animal fat, they are more resistant to combustion, and the brightness is also greater.

After the visit, Wu Zhongyuan offered to go to the cave to worship the ancestors of the Yi people, this move was not a gesture, but a peace of mind, this peace of mind is not his peace of mind, but let Yu Qingdu and others feel at ease.

Yu Qingdu and others also had this intention, but it was inconvenient to say it, and when they saw that Wu Zhongyuan took the initiative to propose, they pushed the boat down the river to fulfill his wish.

Wu Zhongyuan is a student of archaeology, people who study archaeology understand history, and people who understand history are not afraid of similar things, first of all, the facts should be clear, to put it bluntly, it is to apologize, state why you want to take away the soul-attracting lamp, and then put on a high hat for the Yi people, and finally give a guarantee, the implication is that you will be in the same boat with the Yi people, and strive to protect the Yi people.

If you don't have culture, you can't speak, you can basically be educated, and cultured people are looked down upon no matter which dynasty and which generation, and you can hear Wu Zhongyuan reciting eulogies, Yu Qingdu and others have a lot of admiration for him, and he is worthy of being the reincarnation of the golden dragon.

At this time, it was getting late, Wu Zhongyuan got up to say goodbye, and the people were enthusiastic to stay, the enthusiasm at this time was different from the politeness of later generations, but directly dragged and did not let go, dragging and not letting go.

Wu Zhongyuan thought about it and decided to stay for another night, although he could see things at night and was not afraid of gods and ghosts, but there was no need to rush to Turtle Island in the middle of the night, the situation on Turtle Island was more weird, it was better to go in broad daylight, at least the light was better than at night.

But soon he regretted staying, at noon at the time of the Yi people did not persuade the wine, but when the dinner began to persuade the wine, the Yi people wine style is strong, the persuasion of wine is also powerful, directly with a big bowl to come, first do it for respect, and then stand and wait for him to drink, he does not drink the other party will not leave.

At this time, the degree of wine is low, and it is estimated that it is about 20 degrees, but no matter how low the degree is, it is also wine, and the people below do not count, and the nine patriarchs also drank him confused by a big bowl, and then someone came to salute him, and he didn't drink it to death.

Yiren has a strange rule, when eating, only men are on the table, and women are standing on the side to serve, this rule has also spread to modern times, until modern times, women in this region are not on the table, and when eating, men will take the initiative to leave half of the meal to women, and only a lot more, eat fish and only eat the front, do not turn over, and the rest is served to women to eat.

Seeing that the man toasted Wu Zhongyuan and stopped drinking, a group of women came to Hula, all of whom were young and beautiful women, full of twenty or thirty, dressed very ceremoniously, wearing all kinds of jewelry, and did not use a bowl when toasting, but used a special conch.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't plan to drink it again, but when he saw that he used special utensils for toasting, he refused to do so.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's resignation, the nine patriarchs each took the conch in the hand of one of the women and toasted on their behalf.

Seeing that they came out like this, Wu Zhongyuan even killed him and didn't drink it, which was obviously to make peace with him.

Yiren is beautiful in height, these big girls are all more than two meters two or three tall, and he is only one meter seven five, and he is also to other people's chests, although real men are not afraid of eating fatty meat, but this meat is also too big, how can such a large piece be eaten.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's refusal, the nine patriarchs were divided into three groups, and each of them raised a bowl of wine to give him, which meant that he would give him three women.

In the end, he still didn't drink, and he didn't care if he was disappointed or not, sometimes he couldn't die to save face, and he still gave things he didn't like to others.

Although it was normal to be friendly in ancient times, maybe the Yiren were just to express their hospitality, but Wu Zhongyuan was very disgusted with this kind of behavior, and always felt a little bit of Cixi's old lady's 'measuring China's material resources and forming a friendship with the country' of the servile taste, if a nation is reduced to using its own women to slap foreigners, this nation will really have a problem.

said that it was dinner, and ate directly until two o'clock in the second half of the night, seeing that the group of flower girls were always around the venue and refused to leave, Wu Zhongyuan didn't dare to stay overnight, packed up his things, and ran away......
