Chapter 646: Jiuli Clan's Sacrifice to the Holy Mountain (Second Update)
After entering Lijiazhai, Zhang Qian met Li Yingying's father, the owner of Qingmiao Village, Liyang.
Li Yingying, Li Li, and An Yuer told the owner of Qingmiao Village about the purpose of Zhang Qian's trip and the matter of helping Li Li find Chiyou's inheritance.
After Li Yang heard this, he learned that Zhang Qian was going to help his son find the Chiyou inheritance, and immediately said: "Mr. Reverse Yang, the child's physique has really given me a headache for many years, and there has been no solution to it, for this reason, I, as a father, am very guilty and can't help him!"
"If Mr. Reverse Yang can really help Li'er find the Chiyou inheritance, the old man must be grateful!"
In fact, he also knew that his son was also in love with An Yuer, but he was helpless, he couldn't force An Yuer's father to marry his daughter to his 'waste' son.
In fact, the body of the god of war is the strongest physique in the Jiuli clan, and the Chiyou Li greed back then was also this kind of physique, because it was strong, so there was no exercise for Li Li to practice, as long as he found an exercise that could make Li Li practice, then his cultivation would definitely be a thousand miles a day.
Zhang Qian smiled and said: "Master Li Zhai, don't worry, since I promised Miss Yingying, I will definitely not break my promise, I can find the Chiyou inheritance and let Li Li cultivate, it is great, if I can't find it, I will also make decisions for the two of them, even if Li Li can't cultivate, it won't prevent the two of them from being together!"
Li Yang nodded, but naturally hoped that Zhang Qian could help his son find the Chiyou inheritance so that his son could cultivate.
Everyone chatted for a while, that night, Zhang Qian stayed in Lijiazhai for one night, and the next morning, the four of them left Qingmiao Village and walked deeper into the 100,000 mountains.
After about three days of walking, the four of them came to a group of mountains, some of which had only trees at the foot of the mountain, while others were completely covered with trees.
Li Yingying said: "The 'Nine Yin Fruit' only grows in active volcanoes, so we just need to find those volcanoes that have no trees on the top of the mountain!"
An active volcano is a volcano that is erupting, or erupting occasionally, because the temperature at the top of the mountain is too high, so it is difficult to grow trees.
Extinct volcanoes, and dormant volcanoes, do not erupt or erupt at intervals, so plants grow on the summits.
However, extinct volcanoes, dormant volcanoes, and active volcanoes are all relative, and it does not mean that extinct volcanoes will not erupt, and it is possible that they will erupt after a long time, thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.
The 'Nine Yin Fruit' grows in the land of the extreme sun, so it can only grow inside active volcanoes, extinct volcanoes, or dormant volcanoes, and it will not grow, so the four of them only need to look for those volcanoes that have no trees on the top of the mountain.
Although there are many mountains here, there are only a dozen of them without trees on the top of the mountain, but each one is far away and looks like it is right in front of you, but it takes half a day or a whole day to walk over.
When the four of them arrived at the volcanoes, it was already evening, and the sun was about to set, Li Yingying said: "Let's find a place to rest today, and tomorrow during the day, we will start looking for the nearest volcano to us, even if we search all over here, it will only take more than twenty days at most." ”
"Okay!" Zhang Qian nodded, and the four of them found a clearing in the forest and rested on that clearing.
Li Li and An Yuer, after all, are young people, the two of them are playing and laughing, Zhang Qian is meditating under a big tree, and Li Yingying is standing on the branch of a big tree above their heads, checking the surrounding situation.
The blackbird rested on her shoulder, and whenever the wind stirred the treetops, her long black hair would flutter in the wind.
After one night, the next day, the four of them began to search for the nearest active volcano, and after searching for four or five days in a row, they found no trace of the 'Nine Yin Fruit', until there was a huge volcano, which attracted Zhang Qian's attention.
The top of that volcano is obviously covered with dense maple trees, but from time to time, smoke rises from the crater, which is clearly an active volcano.
Zhang Qian was puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "Yingying girl, why is the largest volcano unusual, is it also an active volcano?"
Li Yingying nodded and said, "Didn't I tell you last time that we have a special active volcano here, which is the holy mountain of our Jiuli tribe? Every year from the second day of the first month to the seventh day of the first month, the clansmen of our nine villages will rush to this holy mountain to worship the ancestors Chiyou and Yan Guozhu, and will hold a mountain flower festival on the mountainside!"
"If you have a sweetheart, you will sing mountain songs, Brother will give a belt to your favorite sister, Sister will give shoes to your favorite brother, and will pour water on your favorite brother, and if you choose each other, you will make a marriage on the spot. ”
Zhang Qian said with some surprise: "Will they come here to go such a long way?"
An Yu'er said on the side: "Brother Rebellion! Every time the Mountain Flower Festival is approaching, the people from the nine villages will rush over half a month in advance, and they are all groups of sisters, and groups of elder brothers, come together, and at night, they will rest in the mountains! Anyway, spending the night in the mountains has long been accustomed to our Jiuli people!"
"Oh!" Zhang Qian said, "Then why is this volcano the sacred mountain of your Jiuli clan?
Li Li smiled and said: "Brother Rebel, you don't know about this, let me tell you! Because this volcano is full of maple trees, and among the Jiuli tribe outside, it is said that the first person, Chiyou, turned into a maple tree after death, so the maple tree is the sacred tree of our Jiuli clan!"
He added: "Moreover, the use of this volcano as a sacred mountain is the order of our second patriarch, and every year, the owner of every family of the Jiuli tribe will throw a live cow and sheep into the crater to sacrifice to the ancestors. ”
Throwing live cattle and sheep into this crater, Zhang Qian also heard Li Yingying say about this matter, but it is a long distance here, and the owner of every Jiuli clan has to bring a cow and sheep over, isn't it a little troublesome?
However, as soon as he thought that this was the belief and inheritance of their Jiuli tribe, Zhang Qian didn't ask any more questions, and said, "Is it possible to grow the 'Nine Yin Fruit' in that holy mountain?
Li Yingying shook her head and said, "No, nothing will grow in the holy mountain!" But if you don't bother and want to go up and have a look, you can do it!"
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "This is not in a hurry, let's wait until I find the 'Nine Yin Fruit', I also want to see what it looks like on the top of your holy mountain!"
