"Big brother?"

For a long time, Meng Chuan, who was still hot-tempered, took the lead in breaking the silence in the hall.

"Clan Elder ......"

Not only Meng Chuan, but even Meng Hong next to him also set his sights on Meng Shan led by him at this moment.

Obviously, in a relatively closed ancient village like the ancient village in Western Xinjiang, the words of the clan elders are very effective. Moreover, under normal circumstances, once something is gag by the clan elders, then these villagers will basically not disclose it to outsiders.

It's very different from the outside.

Otherwise, the news that there are treasures like 'holy water' hidden in the ancient village would have leaked out long ago.

"Big brother," Meng Hai next to him also said, "The seniors have a great kindness to our village. If you can, talk to your seniors, I believe that with the people of your predecessors, you will not embarrass us and other juniors. ”

Meng Shan's gaze swept around Meng Hai, Meng Chuan, and the faces of the patriarch Meng Hong, respectively, and then bowed his head slightly, and let out a light 'um', indicating that he agreed with their opinions.

Then, Meng Shan got up and bowed deeply to Xia Haoran and said: "Senior, before talking about 'holy water', please don't care about the old man and spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

"It's okay!" Xia Haoran smiled slightly, waved his hand again, and said, "If it really has too much to do with your clan, then don't say it." Anyway, I was just curious, and I didn't mean anything else. ”

Meng Shan also smiled and said, "Seniors don't need to be polite. Actually, after seeing the photos taken by my predecessors, I guessed that you would have such confusion. In this catastrophe that swept across the entire continent, even the powerful Human Federation and the Beast Tribes suffered such a heavy blow, but our weak and undefended Hundred Tribes Alliance was much luckier. This is inherently counterintuitive. ”

Xia Haoran listened with a smile on his face, he didn't rush to affirm or deny it. After all, in fact, as Meng Shan said, no matter who looks at this matter, it is unreasonable, and there will be 100,000 whys in his head.

That's a long story. Meng Shan said slowly: "Now the mainland is talking about a three-legged stand, but in a strict sense, there are actually only two major forces: the Human Federation and the Beast Tribe. First of all, our Hundred Ethnic Alliance has a small population and poses no threat to the other two forces, and secondly, the Hundred Ethnic Alliance is a completely undefended party, and we are located in this harsh environment in the lofty mountains, and we have no quarrel with the world, just to survive......"

In the subsequent narrative, Xia Haoran also grasped some of the most critical information points. That is, among these minority tribes of the Hundred Ethnic Alliance, most of the ethnic groups have cultivated some mental methods or spells inherited by their own ethnic groups, just like the ancient village of Western Xinjiang, they practice the kind of witchcraft that only exists in the legends of the earth.

And it is precisely because these people in the Hundred Clans Alliance all practice different witchcraft and evil arts, etc., and at the same time, they have been standing in the mountains and mountains for a long time, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the other two forces are worried about causing more casualties, so they have to give up. What's more, even if the two forces of the two sides forcibly occupy this piece of land in the southwest of the mainland, then how to properly settle those clansmen of the Hundred Ethnic Alliance has become a headache for the two major forces.

Existence is reasonable!

It is impossible to kill them all, right? Not to mention whether the two forces have the ability to accomplish this, and besides, this kind of practice is obviously not in line with the spirit of humanitarianism.

However, like these primitive tribes that have been entrenched in the mountains for a long time and are closed, their people are not something that you can educate and tame with just a few words. Once they are allowed out of the mountains, it is still unknown whether they will be able to integrate into the people of the other two forces.

For any ruler, no one wants to have a group of uneasy people living in their own territory that they can't be tamed and can't control! Based on this, both the Terran Federation and the Beast tribes have secretly made an agreement with the Hundred Tribes Alliance.

As long as the people of the Hundred Races Alliance do not easily go out of the Western Frontier and do not easily step into the territory of the Human Federation or the Beast Tribes, they will let it go and turn a blind eye.

Countless years have passed, and because the Hundred Ethnic Alliance has always been in a closed and unopened environment, they still adhere to the ancient traditions and rituals of the tribal group.

It's like an ancient village in Western Xinjiang.

After the newly-born children in the ancient village reach the age of one, they will be carried to the ancestral land by the elders of the tribe to receive the baptism of 'holy water'. According to the rumors of the ancestors, after receiving the baptism of 'holy water', the clansmen can not only bring blessings, exorcise evil spirits, cure diseases, etc., but also cleanse the hearts of the clansmen who are polluted by this earthly world.

Hearing this, Xia Haoran couldn't help but pout. What kind of prayer for blessings, exorcism and the like, it is no different from those things that are not on the table caused by religious believers and folk superstitions on the earth.

One word: ridiculous!

However, Mengshan's mouth mentioned this 'holy water' more than once, but it always teased Xia Haoran's nerves. And he also noticed that whenever the other party said the word 'holy water', not only Mengshan, but even Menghai, Mengchuan, and Menghong next to him showed an extremely pious and sacred expression on their faces.

Hearing this, Xia Haoran roughly figured out the original doubts in his heart. It's just that the so-called ancestral land, as well as the mysterious clan treasure 'holy water', have always been haunting and echoing in his heart.

"Elder Mengshan clan, I wonder if you can let me take a look at the clan treasure 'holy water' of Guizhai?" Xia Haoran smiled and said slowly: "However, you can rest assured. If the treasure 'holy water' in your mouth is useful to me, I will exchange it with you for a treasure of equal value, and if it doesn't work, then let it be as if nothing happened. ”

Xia Haoran said this in order to dispel the worries in the other party's heart. After all, it is inevitable that the other party will have scruples about this kind of thing. To them, it seemed that the 'holy water' of the race was simply more important than their lives.

Meng Shan nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Naturally." I also ask Senior Xia to go to a place with us. The clan treasure 'holy water' can only exist in the ancestral land of our clan, and if it is brought outside without permission, it will lose the original benefit of the 'holy water'. ”

Xia Haoran nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go over?"

"Well, please come with me. Mengshan got up and responded: "The ancestral land is still some way from here. ”

Xia Haoran immediately got up, left the village with the three clan elders, and walked towards a high mountain not far behind the village. And after the patriarch Menghong hurriedly instructed the clansmen outside to prepare a table of sumptuous meals and other words, he hurriedly walked in the direction where Xia Haoran and the others were going.

After walking for about half an hour, the group finally came to a narrow stone crevice at the foot of the mountain. There were some droplets of water coming out of this crack, making the stone walls and the ground on both sides of the crack wet, and covered with green moss.

"Senior, it's here. Meng Shan stopped, pointed to the stone crack in front of him and said to Xia Haoran.

Xia Haoran bowed slightly, he was a little surprised that Mengshan and the others were so relieved to bring him here, so he said: "Elder Mengshan, you brought me over so generously, aren't you afraid that after I know this place, I will sneak in and steal your clan treasure in the future?"

After hearing Xia Haoran's words, the four people present couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, Meng Shan said to Xia Haoran: "The seniors said they were laughing. With your identity and the power you have, you don't need to do this at all. If the seniors really wanted to take it, they wouldn't have communicated with us peacefully for so long. What's more, we also believe in your character Senior Xia!"

"In addition, our ancestral land is not something that anyone can enter casually. After a slight pause, Meng Shan continued: "Maybe it's useless for a master like his predecessors, but if it's someone else, even if they know that our ancestral land is here, they can't enter our ancestral land at all, let alone steal the clan treasure." ”

It can be seen that the reason why Meng Shan and the others did not shy away from bringing themselves here so happily is not only for the reasons they said above, but also to show their ideological realm and mind. As they said, if Xia Haoran really had any ideas, then no matter what obstacles or difficulties there were in the ancestral land, it would be difficult to stop him from moving forward.

However, the other party was able to analyze things so thoroughly in such a short period of time, which was indeed a bit unexpected by Xia Haoran. Between the lines, although it seems to be all words of praise and elevation of Xia Haoran, it is more of a disguised sycophant and wearing a high hat.

Moreover, it is also said that it is so seamless without leakage.

"Old fox!" Xia Haoran scolded with a faint smile in his heart.

Xia Haoran touched his nose in embarrassment, and said with a dumb smile: "It seems that I am hypocritical." Hehe......"

"The seniors are too polite. Meng Shan smiled slightly, then pointed to the stone crack in front of him and made a 'please' gesture, and said, "Senior, please come with me." ”

"Well, lead the way. ”

Then Xia Haoran followed Mengshan and a group of people into the stone crack.

The stone crevices lead directly into the belly of the mountain.

With the assistance of his divine sense, Xia Haoran could 'see' that this stone crack was about a hundred meters long, and the width could only accommodate two people passing side by side, and in some narrow places, it could barely accommodate one person to pass through. Even, if you let those who are a little fatter come, you can't squeeze through this stone crack at all.

Xia Haoran couldn't help but be secretly curious in his heart. Being able to hide the ancestral land in the belly of the mountain through such a stone crack can be regarded as very secretive. And he also 'saw' that at the end of this black stone crevice, there was only a black rock cave, and there was no 'holy water' at all.

The only thing that surprised Xia Haoran was that there was a smooth stone wall on the left side of the cave, and the stone wall was carved with strange rune prohibitions, and even Xia Haoran's divine sense could not detect the existence in the stone wall. It seems that if you are not mistaken, there must be another cave behind the stone wall.
