Chapter 14: Banishment to Qingliang Mountain
The moonlight is bright, and the late spring days are always breezy at night, allowing people to fall asleep at the most comfortable temperature.
But Chu Feng couldn't sleep.
The place where Lianxi Baiting detains people is dry and cold, this kind of place, probably no one has ever come, Chu Feng moved his position slightly, and it would be dusty.
The shadows of the trees were swaying, and Chu Feng didn't know at this moment that the old priest had already set off overnight to go to the swamp and pick water sunflowers.
Not long after the old priest left, the tribe began to quarrel over Chu Feng's trial.
In the house in the center of the tribe, Chu Jiang sat on the main seat, coldly watching the group of people below chattering and arguing.
Wei Yu sat in the corner and sneered, and a white-bearded old man glared angrily at the audience: "Chu Feng, this kid, has no respect for his superiors, and this time he will even more cruelty to his fellow clan, so he must not be punished." ”
Another white-haired old man said-for-tat: "Hmph, Chu Ying, your words are too arbitrary, but if Chu Nan calls you the third grandfather, can you conclude that Chu Feng is the one who harms people? ”
Another middle-aged man stood up and shouted: "Uncle Chu Kai, I think you are an old fool, Chu Feng's parents only came to the tribe more than ten years ago, Chu Nan is our relative, how can you be so kind to outsiders." ”
At the door, Chu Tuo also slapped the table and got up, looked at the middle-aged man and said: "Chu Yun, you are really embarrassed to say that you eat so many resources of the tribe and do nothing for the tribe, don't forget, Chu Feng's parents sacrificed for the tribe, how much the old priest has done for the tribe over the years, don't you know in your hearts?"
Chu Forging said Chu Feng's parents, and the room suddenly fell silent, Chu Tuo was not afraid, his eyes slowly swept over everyone present, even looking at Chu Jiang, he didn't pay attention, when he swept to the man behind Chu Jiang, his pupils were still shrinking.
The man who was called Chu Jiang's shadow, Chu Lei, he always likes to shrink in the shadows, some people say that he is more powerful than Chu Duan, and he never says a word in all the things of the tribe.
Chu Forging often thought, he is like this every day, isn't he lonely? Happy? But there is no answer, because Chu Tuo's contact with him has always been limited to a few words, and he is the kind of child who has been silent since he was a child.
But there are some things that Chu Lei probably doesn't know, such as the grievances between his grandfather and Chu Jiang's grandfather, but Chu Tuo knows that it's just this kind of thing, and no one in the tribe will mention it.
After a period of silence, a strange laugh of "quack" came from the corner, and Wei Yu, who was sitting in the corner, spoke for the first time: "How can the children rely on the shadow of their fathers, who has a meritorious father in the tribe, isn't it that the children will turn the sky upside down, and the tribe has tribal rules!"
Wei Yu slowly accentuated his tone: "Chu Feng's poisoning is beyond doubt, no one else has contact with Chu Nan at the scene, if it weren't for Chu Feng, could the young master of Chu Nan still eat poison by himself?"
Wei Yu bit the word "young master" heavily. ”
Chu Xingxing sneered, it was not impossible for him to eat poison by himself. This old man had a good relationship with the old priest.
Wei Yu continued: "If you kill your fellow clan and violate the rules of the clan, you must follow the rules of Lianxi Baiting, let Chu Feng lock his feet with forty catties of Xuantie, and exile him to Yinliang Mountain, and after three days, Chu Feng can return safely, naturally he will be forgiven by the gods, and if he can't return, he will be devoured by evil spirits." ”
Chu Forging gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Priest, the old priest hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid it's not good to pronounce Chu Feng in such a hurry, and besides, what I said before is ......."
Wei Yu waved his hand and snorted coldly, "No matter what I said before, as a priest, I can't tolerate evil remaining in the tribe. ”
Several people present were shocked by Wei Yu's "justice" for a while, and even Chu Ying scolded in his heart, what kind of thing are you Wei Yu, we don't know?
Seeing that a new round of scolding was about to start, Chu Jiang, who was on the throne, stood up, and the people present were silent, Chu Jiang said lightly: "Everything is according to what the priest said." ”
Then he turned and left, not giving everyone a chance to speak.
Chu Ying, Chu Yun and the others all left with a satisfied face, while Chu Forging Chu Kai and the others gritted their teeth.
Chu Forging let out a long sigh, and after Wei Yu left, he slowly said to Chu Kai and the others: "After this priest came to the tribe, he didn't do anything beneficial to everyone!"
Chu Kai opened his mouth and said: "Chu Jiang, this kid doesn't know what's going on, he hasn't been able to do much for so many years as the court master, but his heart is a lot more ruthless. ”
Everyone said: "Uncle Chu, be cautious!"
Chu Tuo squinted his eyes and said, "Uncle Chu, it stands to reason that you are an elder, and the court master should listen to your opinion." ”
Chu Kai let out a long sigh and said, "Old man, old man!"
Chu Kai left with a lonely face.
It was quiet in the middle of the night, even if the place where Chu Feng was imprisoned was unbearable, Chu Feng was already drowsy, and just when Chu Feng was about to fall asleep, the sound of footsteps came, especially clear in the dark night.
Chu Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and a masked man stood in front of the cage. The darkness of the night made Chu Feng even more unable to see his details.
Chu Feng squinted and asked, "Who are you?"
The man didn't make a sound, reached out and threw over a key, and said lightly: "Tomorrow you are going to Qingliang Mountain, be careful yourself!"
Chu Feng was shocked in his heart, Chu Feng knew that place, the trees were tall, the sunlight often could not penetrate, and the ground was unusually cool, so it was called Qingliang Mountain.
The strange thing about it is that there are no beasts in the mountains, and even the birds do not like to hover in the sky, and people can often only observe on the periphery, and those who enter cannot come out.
It became the place where the sinful people were banished by the Lianxi White Court, and year after year, the old people used to say that the gods lived in it, and they would punish the wicked and could not go out of Qingliang Mountain for the rest of their lives.
The man didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Chu Feng suddenly shouted, "Uncle Chu Tuo?"
The man stopped, but didn't look back.
Chu Feng took a deep breath and said excitedly: "Uncle Chu Tuo, it must be you right, Chu Feng thank you uncle." ”
The man looked up at Mingyue, squinted slightly, stopped listening to Chu Feng's words, and left quickly.
Chu Feng picked up the key on the ground and shackled his hands and feet, which could not be opened, and tried the lock on the door again, but he could not open it. Chu Feng was a little puzzled, he didn't know what the key was for, but he still carefully hid the key in his arms, and there was his small bronze sword Qingyue.
Early the next morning, Chu Feng was taken away and came to a stream in front of the tribe.
Wei Yu is setting up an altar to worship.
Chu Feng sneered, he had to work hard to send himself to death, it was really difficult for him.
Chu Jiang didn't show his head, which made Chu Feng's trip to Qingliang Mountain irreversible.
Everyone was stopped twenty steps away, and Chu Feng was sitting on the wooden platform in front of Wei Yu.
Wei Yu lit a cigarette, shook his staff, and muttered in his mouth: "Great water god, please wash away the sins of sinners, the gods are here to punish the evil spirits......"
Chu Feng didn't care about it, Chu Feng's grandfather was a priest, how could Chu Feng not know that even a pious priest like Chu Feng's grandfather couldn't communicate the consciousness of the gods, let alone this guy who pretended to be a god.
Only the rumored powerful priests could communicate with the gods and ask them for blessings.
Wei Yu's sacrifice was completed, and two people were called up, and they asked them to escort Chu Feng to Qingliang Mountain, one of them, slightly exchanged glances with Wei Yu, he was the one who talked to Wei Yu when the rhinoceros herd entered the tribe, and he and Wei Yu came to Lianxi White Court from Muyue Black Court together.
That person grabbed Chu Feng and squinted slightly, this time he was going to let Chu Feng die without a place to be buried, it was impossible for Chu Feng to escape from Qingliang Mountain, if he came out, he would strangle Chu Feng with his own hands.
Chu Feng got up, looked around, looked at the crowd in the distance, looked around at Chu Lian who was full of tears, Chu Yi who didn't know the joy and sorrow, and everyone with all kinds of expressions on their faces, when Chu Feng saw Chu Luan, he still bowed his head gratefully, Chu Tuan also nodded slightly, the current situation, he could not be reversed.
Wei Yu said lightly: "Shang Xuantie." ”
Chu Feng's feet, who had unshackled them, were instantly added with two black iron balls, one for each foot.
At this time, Chu Feng roughly guessed what the key was for, about the key of the dark iron on his feet.
"Get on the boat!" Wei Yu said lightly.
The two men escorted Chu Feng up to the boat, and the boat floated down the river to the foot of Qingliang Mountain.
Chu Feng came to the boat and sat down, and the two men were one behind the other.
The boat drifted for a long time, and finally came to the foot of Qingliang Mountain, Chu Feng looked up.
It seems that trees that rise to the sky are everywhere here, and they are all good wood, but because of the difference in this mountain, people do not dare to cut down wood, so these big trees grow taller and taller.
The two escorted Chu Feng off the boat.
The man who was with Wei Yu said coldly: "Go in!"
Another man took care of Chu Feng's clothes and said, "Chu Feng, don't go too far inside when you go in, it's safer on the periphery, and when you come out in three days, the tribe will declare you innocent......"
"That's enough!" interrupted the man next to him.
Chu Feng looked back at the man and said sincerely, "Thank you." ”
The man bowed slightly, and stopped talking.
The two watched Chu Feng enter Qingliang Mountain.
They won't leave yet, they have to wait for three days.
The man who was with Wei Yu said coldly: "It's enough for me here, you can go back." ”
The man who arranged Chu Feng's clothes said, "Don't dare to disobey the priest's will, I will wait here for three days." ”
Both of them snorted coldly and stopped talking to each other.
