Chapter 5 Ill-fated Zhang Jianqi
After walking for two or three hours, I arrived at what Ai Ri called the 'Chiwu Tribe'. The houses that he had never seen before made Zhang Jianqi curious, the cylindrical walls, the roof was in the shape of a hat, there was no yard, and the houses were scattered together, which was very different from his hometown.
When he arrived at the tribe, Ai Ri's father dragged Ai Ri away, instructed others to take Zhang Jianqi to his residence, and nodded to Zhang Jianqi. Zhang Jianqi was taken to his residence, and the person who led the way said some precautions and left.
Zhang Jianqi sat in the room in a daze, with nothing to do, and even the books he usually read were too quick to take away because of the old man's slap. Thinking of this, I thought of the old man guarding the tomb and the sword ruin. The last big hand that covered the sky didn't really hurt the sword ruins, right?
Although it has been separated by tens of thousands of miles, the feelings for the sword ruins have changed from thinking about escaping every day at the beginning to some thoughts and worries now. Also, Zhang Jianqi is only sixteen years old, and he has lived in Jianxu for three years, and he is not a grass and tree, and he left suddenly, it is impossible to say that there is no nostalgia and worry.
Now, in addition to my parents, there is one more thing to worry about. Fortunately, on the occasion of parting, the words of the old man guarding the tomb revealed a lot of important information. Cultivating and becoming stronger is the only way to solve all these problems. Thinking of this, Zhang Jianqi felt a little more at ease, and then sat cross-legged, using his aura to lift the scriptures in his heart.
In one of the largest houses of the tribe, a strong man in the middle of the mountain sat in the middle, and Ai Ri knelt at the bottom of the hall, next to a slightly burly woman.
"Say, tell me what happened, don't try to hide it, your father and I are not old foolish," said Daddy Ajita.
Ai Ri raised his head and looked at the strong man, "My dearest father, really, me and Brother Zhang, no, it's the big beast that Zhang Jianqi besieged and killed!"
"Not honest!" said the strong man, and got up to take the stick that had been placed aside in the room.
At this time, the women on the side hurried forward, stopped the strong man, and said to Ai Ri, "Ai Ri, hurry up and explain the matter as it is, don't hide it from your father." There's been a lot of going on lately, it's not like usual, you have to be sensible! Usually sneak out and forget it, but now with the tribal ban, you dare to go out and run wild."
"Alas!" Ai Ri sighed heavily, and then told the truth of the matter: because I was chatting with Ah Nuan one day, I overheard her say that she likes heroes who stand up to the sky. Eri asked, 'What is a great hero?'
Ah Nuan said that he didn't know, anyway, he had to be brave and able to hunt. Ai Ri asked if it was considered for a person to kill a big beast alone, Ah Nuan thought about it, and then said yes. Now Ai Diary stopped, so he sneaked out of the tribe today, thinking that he could kill a big beast alone. This is the one who went into the mountains alone behind him, and there is also the fact that he was rescued by Zhang Jianqi.
"So, the boy alone killed the beast with just one punch?" asked Daddy Eri.
"Yes, yes, it was too late, and when I fell to the ground, the great beast was about to arrive, so I raised my sword and thought about fighting the great beast. Unexpectedly, I saw Zhang Jianqi jumping off the tree, with the help of the momentum of jumping down, whirring, just one punch, hitting the big beast into the sky, leisurely loaded dozens of circles, and then ran out of breath. Speaking of this, Ai Ri was interested again, and said it again. As for the strong man, he just picked what he could believe and listened, and then said to Ai Ri.
"The tribe has already stipulated that no adult can enter the mountain alone, and in the current situation, I have just issued a ban. This is good, it was broken by his own son in the first place. There's nothing else to say, the tribe has made the room think behind closed doors!"
Hearing this, Ai Ri, who was still elated just now, panicked, and hurriedly looked at his mother for help, but his mother just shook his head, and Ai Ri lowered his head and confessed. Finally, he said, "Can I go and see Zhang Jianqi first?"
"Yes, I also want to go over and say thank you, and ask for it, you can go with me." The strong man agreed.
Zhang Jianqi had just settled down when he heard a knock on the door. So he gathered his mind, got up and opened the door, and saw Ai Ri and the strong man standing outside the door. Zhang Jianqi let in the father and son.
Entering the house, the strong man found a seat and sat down, Ai Ri pulled Zhang Jianqi and whispered some words, and when he saw his father's eyes, he said hello to the strong man and slipped away.
"Zhang Jianqi, my name is Zhulie, and I am the leader of this tribe. In the mountains just now, I was a little too wary of you, I'm sorry!" the strong man waited for Ai Ri to leave and then went straight to Zhang Jianqi.
Zhang Jianqi just sat down, and when he heard the strong man's words, he got up and hugged his fists again and said, "The leader is serious, this is as it should be." ”
When Zhang Jianqi sat down again, the strong man named Zhulie said again.
"People in the mountains, I don't know how to be polite, I thank you for saving my child in the mountains. However, because there are some conflicts in the tribe now, your sudden appearance, for the sake of the stability of the tribe, I still have to ask you some questions regardless of the grace of saving my life, please answer truthfully. ”
Of course, Zhang Jianqi thought that there was nothing, so he said, "Don't blame the leader, this is all a matter of responsibility." It's just that when it comes to how I got here, I can only guarantee that what I said is true, and as for whether the leader believes it or not, I really have no way to prove it." Subsequently, Zhang Jianqi roughly picked up the main things that could be said, and explained them one by one with Zhu Lie.
Zhulie frowned in thought, and then smiled.
"I believe what you say. In each central tribe, there will be a family book that has been handed down, with records about outsiders, which are not much different from your words and deeds. In addition, some unbelievable things are also recorded in the family book. I just listened to Ai Ri's description, and you were able to jump off the tree to save Ai Ri without thinking, which shows your sincerity, and I don't think people will be wrong. ”
"Thank you, Chief, for your trust. Then dare to ask me how to get out?" Zhang Jianqi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked.
Now it was the turn of Zhulie to make a difficulty, his brows furrowed deeply, and he began to talk to Zhang Jianqi, and the more he talked about Zhang Jianqi, the colder he became.
It turned out that this place was the deepest part of the mountain called the 100,000 Mountains, as Ai Ri said. The tribe here has lived in this place for generations, and for thousands of years, no one has ever been heard of going out or coming in.
In dozens of tribes and five groups, it is the only stable place that has been carved out by predecessors. Between the tribes, there are hills and forests, beasts that only a few humans can surround and kill. However, about fifty miles outside the tribe's settlement, there was a ring of towering mountains.
If it is only a big mountain, it can't withstand the climbing of manpower after all, but according to records, after climbing over the mountain, it is still a big mountain, but it is no longer as stable as the tribal gathering place, there are wild beasts everywhere, and it is far from being comparable to the beasts here, some of the wild beasts are as high as the mountains, some can breathe fire, some can fly, and they are by no means human beings can fight.
There is a legend that someone saw a wild beast crashing into a high mountain and easily smashing a thousand feet high. Thankfully, these beasts somehow couldn't cross the mountains on the outskirts of the tribal settlements so that the tribes could live here in peace. However, I can't get out either. This piece of heaven and earth seems to be a cage, resisting the outside and the people who live here.
After saying these situations, Zhu Lie saw that Zhang Jianqi was stunned, then shook his head and said: "You live here first, and find a way in the future, since you can enter here, this will break the thousand-year-old legend, who said that you can't break the legend that can't get out, right?"
Zhang Jianqi listened to the comfort that Zhu Lie didn't believe in himself, and nodded. Zhu Lie only said that he could go around the tribe, but don't go far, and then he went out, leaving only Zhang Jianqi, who was stunned.
Alas!
Only a sigh can express Zhang Jianqi's current mood.
Since that noon, my father and mother have disappeared, and my life has not been too smooth. Although the hundred family rice is harmonious, but its center is sour, a few people know, every New Year's holiday, looking at his family happily, he is alone, eating more sumptuous meals than usual, but the taste is the same as chewing wax, a bowl of rice and half a bowl are eaten with children's tears.
After entering the sword ruins, although he has grown up, he is alone in the cemetery, that loneliness, that fear, and really no one can confide in, only to endure silently.
I finally came out of the sword ruins, but I entered this 'cage' again. Zhang Jianqi will no longer cry like when he was a child, but it makes people feel even more miserable.
What a fateful one!
Helpless to helpless, sad to sad, life has to pass, parents still have to find, and the sword ruins have to be saved. Zhang Jianqi no longer felt sorry for himself, and then sat cross-legged and continued to practice.
