Chapter 396: Mujiazhai
"Boss?"
Seeing that Yu Zehai suddenly stopped moving forward, and his brows were deeply locked, Zhou Tong's face was full of doubts.
"Oh, nothing. ”
Yu Zehai shrugged his nose and said lightly: "I thought this was a paradise, but I never thought that the ancient village was cold and fierce, and even the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of blood. ”
"Cold, fierce, bloody?" Zhou Tong was slightly stunned and said: "Boss, according to rumors, some ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang who have a long history not only know some strange Gu magic, witchcraft, and evil arts, but also are good at raising some snakes, centipedes, scorpions, spiders, toads and other poisons...... If that's the case, then it's no surprise that you, boss, feel that way. ”
"You're right. ”
Yu Zehai nodded and said with a smile: "It's just that it seems that we didn't come at the right time." Forget it, if you come, you will be safe, let's go in. ”
In fact.
Through his divine sense, Yu Zehai had already clearly seen everything that happened in the ancient village.
At this time, there are many Miao people wearing ethnic minority costumes standing on the stilted building, looking at the central position of the ancient village with anticipation and scorching heat, and there are also many clansmen holding bottles and cans, or carrying or carrying the corpses of various animals to where to go.
At the signal of the first old man, more than a dozen middle-aged men came out of the crowd, they came to the right side of the clearing, and leaned over to grope on the ground for a while, and then more than a dozen people worked together, as a large stone slab with a length and width of more than ten meters was slowly removed, revealing a swarthy pool.
At this time, the clansmen, who had been guarding the side for a long time, stepped forward one after another to throw the blood in the jars in their arms and the corpses of wild beasts into the pool.
When they saw two unfamiliar figures suddenly appear in the village, those Miao people suddenly showed fierce eyes, staring at Yu Zehai and his party with unkind faces. It's just that when they saw the two young figures carrying hiking bags and dressed casually, they put away their fierce lights and were busy with the things in their hands.
"Boss, what are they?"
Zhou Tong asked with a puzzled face.
"Hey bugs!"
Yu Zehai retracted his gaze and said lightly: "It seems that today should be an important day for their clan, these clansmen are dragging animal carcasses and the blood collected at ordinary times, and they are feeding insects in the middle of the village. After a slight pause, Yu Zehai continued: "And, if I am not mistaken, except for those three or five-year-old children, everyone in this village has a worm in their body. ”
"What? Feed the bugs? Moreover, everyone has a Gu ...... in their body Gu worm?" Zhou Tong's face was full of horror when he heard this, and he had a layer of goosebumps all over his body.
"What?
Yu Zehai smiled slightly, and then walked forward by himself.
"Squeak~"
Lightning squatted lazily on Yu Zehai's shoulder, and called out with half-squinted eyes.
"Uh...... it!"
Zhou Tong, who was still hesitating, suddenly saw Lightning's anthropomorphic disdainful smile, and couldn't help but be furious in his heart, and in the next second, the whole person seemed to be refreshed, and hurriedly chased towards Yu Zehai.
Lao Tzu is also a dignified eight-foot man, no matter what, he can't be compared to a small lightning mink, not to mention, there is a boss in this trip, and I still cower into a ball......
"Bang~"
Just when Zhou Tong rushed forward, he didn't notice that Yu Zehai in front of him had already stopped, so he crashed into it in a daze.
"Oh, I'll go!"
Yu Zehai didn't move at all, but Zhou Tong, who hit the people, had a pain in his scalp. Before he could come back to his senses, he saw that they had already arrived in the small square in the center of the ancient village.
"It's a good day!"
At this moment, I saw a passage split out of the crowd, and an old man with gray hair and crutches walked out of it, and the other party's wise and deep eyes swept over Yu Zehai and Zhou Tong's bodies, and then he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Our Mujia Miao Village has not had a foreign visitor for decades, two friends from afar, Mujiazhai welcomes your arrival!"
"Senior, bother!"
Yu Zehai arched his hand, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The junior and the brother went into the mountain to collect medicine together, but I never thought that I came here by mistake all the way, if it is disrespectful to visit rashly, please forgive the seniors!"
What a profound cultivation!
Yu Zehai's mouth was neither humble nor arrogant, and his speech was steady, but a thousand waves rolled up in his heart!
This old guy's cultivation is so high!
Although the other party seems to be too old, and his qi and blood are decayed and old, his cultivation has already reached the ninth level of qi refining, and he is only one line away from being able to be promoted to the hemolysis stage.
Since Yu Zehai descended on Shui Yunxing, he has also met a lot of ancient martial forces, such as the Nangong family in Qin Province, the Ouyang family in Jingmen Island, as well as the Zhengyi Sect, the Qingcheng faction, the Maoshan faction, etc., but as far as Yu Zehai knows, even in these ancient martial arts sects or families that have been inherited for a long time, there may not be a ninth-level master of qi refining.
You know, that's the ninth layer of qi refining!
Maybe.
In this world, only Yu Zehai himself really knows in his heart that now that the aura of the end of the law era is thin, how difficult it is for a martial artist to successfully cultivate to the ninth level of qi refining!
Yu Zehai himself doesn't need to say it, as the protagonist, he has too many unknown 'golden fingers' and the protagonist's aura, as far as he knows, like the Qingling Dao Chief, he is already a genius among geniuses by cultivating all the way to the fifth level of qi refining with his own hard work. And the existence of such a level as the ninth layer of qi refining, to be honest, Yu Zehai has encountered it for the first time so far.
"Xiaoyou don't have to be polite, it is also a kind of fate to be able to meet in this vast primeval jungle. Come with me, both of you!"
The old man nodded with a smile, and made a gesture of please, and at the moment he turned to leave, he turned back to the crowd and shouted, "Little stone, you can preside over here." ”
Yu Zehai greeted Zhou Tong without pretentiousness, and followed the old man all the way to the depths of the village unhurriedly.
If it comes, it will be safe.
As he said before, although this old man was already a ninth-level Qi refining master, and although this ancient village was full of poison insects and everyone raised Gu, Yu Zehai didn't care about it at all.
For ordinary people or low-level martial artists, something like a Gu worm is simply a nightmare.
However, Yu Zehai is not a pure martial artist.
Since he was fortunate enough to get the inheritance of the old man in the border wilderness, Yu Zehai has dabbled in martial arts, formations, alchemy, and refining weapons, and he himself has a good study of medical skills. Therefore, a side-door like a Gu worm is not worth mentioning in his eyes, not to mention that he has now stepped into the realm of the Extreme Realm-the tenth layer of Qi refining!
After exchanges, it was learned that the old man's surname was Mu, his name was Kuohai, and he was the patriarch of the contemporary Mu family village. Mujiazhai is located in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, and the entire village has been living in this deep mountain and old forest for generations.
Perhaps, in a year and a half, a clansman will occasionally be sent out quietly to catch a trip to the market to replace some daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the village.
Because of this, the entire Mujiazhai still retains a very strong traditional style and customs. For example, all matters in the village are basically decided by the patriarch and the clan elders.
There are strict clan rules in the village, and the clansmen strictly abide by the rules and customs passed down by these ancestors, for example, they are not allowed to marry outsiders, they can adopt a Gu worm after awakening at the age of five, they will hold a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fifteen, and they are not allowed to go out and leave the ancient village if they do not reach the third level of qi training, and so on.
Yu Zehai scratched the back of his head and asked with a smile: "Senior Mu, since I came to Mujiazhai, there has always been a doubt in the hearts of the juniors, I don't know if the juniors can ......."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Mu Kuohai also smiled.
Yu Zehai organized his language and said: "With the strength of Mu Lao and the nobles, it is not a problem to sweep the entire ancient Chinese martial arts world, not to mention that everyone is carrying such strange things as 'Gu worms', but as far as the younger generations know, in the ancient martial arts world of China, few people mention or hear about the rumors of the nobles?"
"Oh, Yu Xiaoyou still knows about Gu?" Mu Kuohai raised his eyebrows and said.
Yu Zehai shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Boy, I am not only a martial artist, but also a Taoist doctor, so well, you know." ”
"You kid......"
Mu Kuohai glanced at Yu Zehai deeply, and said with a smile: "You also said just now, almost everyone in our clan raises Gu, and it is precisely because of this that our clan is similar to the group of guys who play with scorpions, spiders, and centipedes, and they are not treated well by fellow martial artists. In the past, we would go to some large-scale occasions from time to time to show our faces, but after a long time, our interest faded after a long time......"
Speaking of this, the old man pondered for a moment and said, "Counting it, our clan has not gone out to walk the rivers and lakes for almost a year. Therefore, Yu Xiaoyou has never heard of our Mujiazhai, which is normal. ”
After talking for a while, Yu Zehai felt that this old patriarch Mu Kuohai had a straightforward and heroic personality, so he put his mind at ease. Thinking that the people of Mujiazhai have lived in the depths of the 100,000 mountains for generations, they must be very familiar with this area, so they asked the other party about the medicinal materials.
The old man pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said: "The old man has learned some witchcraft from his father since he was a child, and he often goes up to the mountains to hunt for medicine, but when it comes to the familiarity with medicine, it is the wizards in our clan. ”
After a slight pause, Mu Kuohai continued: "In Mujiazhai, there are often juniors who form teams to go to some steep places to collect medicine, but this is all organized by Mu Miao's girl. In this way, I sent someone from my clan to bring Mu Miao over, and Yu Xiaoyou can ask one or two in person. ”
