Chapter 284: The Yanjing Royal Family
Li Muchen pointed to a dotted line on the map and asked, "What is this?" ”
Daddy Iwayama squinted his eyes and said, "Oh, that's a safe path that the immortals explored to the depths of the wilderness, also known as the Secret Realm Road. ”
"The Secret Path?" Li Muchen was a little curious.
Daddy Iwayama snorted, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with what he had said.
He grabbed a handful of tobacco from his cigarette pouch, put it in his pipe, lit it with a lighter, and took a few puffs.
"It's something to do with a legend."
Daddy Iwayama exhaled a thick puff of white smoke, and the smoke spread out, covering his old face, and he seemed to fall into a distant memory.
"In the south of Yunnan and Guizhou, there used to be an ancient city called Pucheng, and many tribal city-states around Pucheng formed a country, called the country of Baipu. The country was once very powerful, but later the king of the country of Pu offended the gods, and it is also said that he offended the demons, in short, it suddenly disappeared. Legend has it that the land of Pu has become a wasteland. And Pucheng is in the center of the wilderness. There is buried the wealth of the entire Pu country. ”
"So, you hunters from generation to generation have risked their lives to enter the wilderness just to find the legendary ruins of Pucheng?" Li Muchen felt a little ridiculous.
Daddy Iwayama shook his head and said, "Not only hunters, but also medicine pickers. Most of the first people to settle in the town were for this legend. Otherwise, who wants to stay in this poor mountain? ”
"After so many generations, less than a quarter of the maps have been explored until today, is it worth it?"
Remember https://m in a second.
"There's nothing worth it or not, where is not alive? It's better to have such a thought than nothing. Moreover, this map was not completed today, my grandfather was already like this, from my grandfather to me, almost nothing has changed. ”
"Why?"
"I can't get in!" Daddy Iwayama tapped the middle of the map with his cigarette stick, at the end of the dotted line, "That's the forbidden area of the wilderness!" ”
"Forbidden Zone?"
Then, Iwaiyama chattered about how he met a monster in the wilderness, how he fought with the monster, how he met the fairy, and how the fairy used the fairy method to defeat the monster and save him.
Lan Bazi said: "Daddy, you haven't told this thing a thousand, but also eight hundred times, and my ears can hear that the cocoon is coming." ”
Daddy Iwayama smacked his cigarette stick on the table: "This is your good fortune!" If the fairy hadn't saved me, would I have you? ”
"Then why don't you have a baby with a fairy?" Lambaz muttered.
"You ......" Daddy Iwayama raised his cigarette stick to hit, but suddenly put the cigarette stick down and rolled his eyes, "How do you know you're not a fairy?" ”
Lan Bazi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed innocently: "Daddy, you don't make up nonsense well, look at me, how do you look like a fairy girl?" ”
Li Muchen's attention was on the map.
Although there are many exaggerated and braggadocio elements in Daddy Yanshan's description, Li Muchen can hear that in the depths of the wilderness, there seems to be an article in the depths.
Of course, the treasures of Pu Country are not attractive to him, but the forbidden area phenomenon described by Daddy Iwayama is not so much like a natural phenomenon, but like a cultivation enchantment.
As for the monster fairy theory, based on his oral description alone, there is no way to verify it.
"Daddy, who else has this map besides you?" Li Muchen asked.
Daddy Iwayama said, "The hunters and herb pickers had all of them earlier, but most of them were gone. That's why I hid the picture from my children and grandchildren. Now I still have a picture in my hand, I think about it, maybe there are three or five more. ”
"Doctor Ye's family in the town, is there one too?" Li Muchen asked suddenly.
"Of course there is." Father Iwayama said, "The Ye family is the first person to come to the barren town to pick medicine, and it is also the only one in that group of people who has passed on the incense to this day." ”
Li Muchen frowned slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Since the Ye family has this picture in their hands, how could Ye Zhenghong not know about Yin Mountain?
Why did Ye Zhenghong hide it?
There is only one explanation, he has something to do with the Yinshan faction!
At this time, Aunt Lan had already prepared a meal and came to call them to eat.
Since the thunderstorm, Li Muchen can no longer eat the fireworks of the world. But the Lan family was enthusiastic, and he couldn't bear to refuse, so he stayed at the Lan family for dinner.
The dish is dominated by hare meat, a large pot full of them, and some air-dried wild boar and venison.
Daddy Iwayama took out a jar of wine that he had been reluctant to drink for many years.
Finally, Aunt Lan brought another pot of stewed snake soup.
Lan Bazi stirred in the soup pot with a spoon and said, "The baby was bitten by a snake today, you have to breathe well!" ”
Lantian seemed to have lingering fears about the snake, staring at the pot and not daring to move the chopsticks.
Lan Bazi scolded with a smile: "You girl is really unproductive, you are afraid of being like this after being bitten by a snake once?" ”
Lantian shook his head desperately, pointed to the pot and said, "This is the snake that bit me!" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lan Bazi said, "The snake that bit you has already run away, where can you catch it!" ”
Lantian said stubbornly: "It's the snake that bit me, it's crying!" ”
The family was stunned for a moment at the same time and looked at the soup pot.
There was charcoal at the bottom of the pot, the water in the pot was boiling, and the snow-white snake meat was tumbling in the water.
It was obviously steaming, but people rushed to a trace of cold.
"Little baby, don't talk nonsense!" Aunt Lan scolded and got up, "I'm going to close the window, why is it cold." ”
Li Muchen glanced at Lantian in a little surprise, and then gently waved his hand above the soup pot.
This little girl is born with a spiritual eye and can see things that others can't see.
Lantian looked at Li Muchen gratefully, and then lowered his head again.
She wasn't so scared anymore, but the whole time, she didn't touch that pot of snake soup.
Li Muchen didn't say much, just accompanied the Lan family to drink and eat, and listened to Daddy Lan brag about the story in the wasteland.
The people in the mountains were hospitable, and after drinking a jar of old wine, they were not happy, and they brought a few bottles of burning knives.
Daddy Iwayama and Lan Bazi were drunk, and even Aunt Lan was drunk.
Only Li Muchen and Lantian are left awake.
Li Muchen asked Lantian: "Where were you bitten by a snake?" ”
Lantian said: "It's in the pass of the back mountain, where there are many mushrooms, and my mother and I went to pick mushrooms. ”
"Then you take me now, let's catch that snake so that it can't bite again, okay?" Li Muchen said.
Lan Tian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Li Muchen took Lantian's hand and walked into the dark night.
The night in the mountains was particularly dark, but Lantian didn't seem to be afraid of the dark, and took Li Muchen all the way into the col of the back mountain.
Li Muchen has been observing her.
This is by no means something that can be done by being familiar with mountain paths, nor is it a practitioner's divine sense, but an innate spiritual sense.
Li Muchen suddenly remembered the strange look in Daddy Yanshan when he said "How do you know that you are not a fairy".
