On the grass of the jungle in front, there is a circle of people, each of whom has a big urn in front of him, and in the middle of the circle is an old man with white hair, the old man's eyes are slightly twilight, and he holds a row of bamboo pipes in his hands, which is very similar to the reed sheng, a musical instrument played by the Miao people, and the mouth of the bamboo pipe is slightly on the lips of the old man, and a strange and melodious music floats in the forest.

As the melody reaches its climax, there is a rustling sound between the grass and the branches.

Yang Muyun stared at it, and saw that there were many insects crawling out of the trees and grass, including centipedes, scorpions, lizards, poisonous frogs and snakes, and some could not be named at all. They are all colorful, making people's scalp tingle.

These poisonous insects crawled in swarms to the middle of the circle surrounded by the group, and then crawled towards the urns. Some urns are full of centipedes, some are full of scorpions, and some are full of snakes...... All the poisonous insects are arranged in a neat arrangement, and they enter the urns of their own species, and they are safe with each other.

"This should be the god and witch in the tribe," Zheng Yu whispered in Yang Muyun's ear, "Specially bring people out to collect poisonous insects." ”

"Oh," Yang Muyun nodded, "Then are they pot savers?" ”

"It's hard to say," Zheng Yu shook his head slightly, "There are more tribes in the forest, although the tribesmen in this area are collectively known as the Depositors, but some tribes only superficially obey Vinasuwa's orders, and the tribe has a lot of autonomy within the tribe. ”

"Hmm." Hearing her say this, Yang Muyun knew that the Cunpen people were not a whole, but a relatively large tribal alliance, and the tribe led by Venasuva was the most numerous and strongest of all the tribes in this area, and in the hearts of the barbarians who believed in the law of the jungle, they naturally regarded him as the master.

"These people are very strange," Yang Muyun looked at it for a while and said, "Let's go around and don't alarm them." ”

"Hmm." Zheng Yu agreed, gestured to Ah Hu on the tree, and the three of them quietly prepared to flee quietly.

"Ka-" Yang Muyun accidentally stepped on a dead branch when he retreated, and made a slight sound, although the sound was not loud, but it reached the old man's ears. The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze was like electricity, swept towards the place where the sound came from, and opened his mouth to shout. The circle of people around him stood up one after another, flashing their blades and rushing towards the place where the three of them had fled.

"Let's go separately," Yang Muyun said to Zheng Yu, "When we get rid of them, we will meet again." Without waiting for her to reply, he ran towards a deep jungle.

"You ......" Zheng Yu didn't have time to call him, stomped his feet, and ran in the other direction with Ah Hu.

......

Yang Muyun ran with all his strength, and the trees on both sides retreated behind him like flying, he didn't know how far he ran, and he didn't know how long he ran, he felt that no one should chase after him anymore, so he slowed down.

Looking at the towering trees and half-human-tall grass around him, he only felt a pang in his heart, and secretly said bitterly, this boundless jungle is like a labyrinth, how can he get out. And how to meet Zheng Yu?

His eyes couldn't help but sweep around, "If you can't find Zheng Yu and Ah Hu, you can only try to see if you are lucky enough to meet a local who is familiar with the forest, otherwise, let alone find out the news, whether you can get out of the forest and return to Zheng Ke's military camp is a problem." Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, and a person appeared in front of him.

"I was looking for someone to inquire, and someone appeared." Yang Muyun secretly said good luck, and was about to step forward to ask, when suddenly the man turned around, his beard was white, it was the old man who attracted poisonous insects.

Yang Muyun was taken aback, turned around and left, and the sound of "sizzling-" around him was loud, and countless poisonous insects such as snakes, scorpions, and centipedes surrounded him. As soon as he jumped into the air, he suddenly realized

As soon as his neck was cold, a snake got into his collar, and then a bucket on the back of his neck was bitten by a snake.

"Ahh With the afterburner under his feet, the whole person jumped towards another tree like a roc spreading its wings......

He kept jumping from tree to tree, his ears whistling, and he slowed down when he felt that he was far enough away from the old man. Yang Muyun felt a little tired because of the constant lifting of his breath and running, he stopped on a tall hemlock tree, put his hand on the pergola and looked around, and there was no figure in the four places, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and sat down on a thick branch against the trunk of the tree.

"I must have run into a ghost," he muttered to himself, "how did I go around and get to him again?" He remembered the legend of the ghost hitting the wall that his grandfather told him when he was a child, a Xiucai was in the mountains and forests at night, turning around and around, always turning in the same place, how could not go out, and finally met a Taoist priest, and the practice relieved him of the evil in his body, which made him get out of trouble.

He had never believed in ghosts and gods, and he had always thought that this was nothing more than nonsense, but what was happening in front of him was so strange that he had to think that the old man might be using evil magic.

Tired, hungry and thirsty, he thought for a while, and then fell asleep unconsciously. was groggy, Yang Muyun suddenly felt an itch on his face, and couldn't help but reach out to scratch it, just after scratching, his back itched again, and before he could reach over, he suddenly felt that his whole body was itching everywhere, and he woke up.

"Ahh

He felt a pang of difficulty breathing, leaned over, and jumped down from a tall tree. As soon as he landed, a large net wrapped him tightly under the hood. A man came to him leisurely, his eyes not stopping at him. The man had white hair, white beard and white eyebrows, and he was still the same old man.

Yang Muyun's heart was cold, and he suddenly felt that he was haunted by himself like a ghost.

The old man looked at him and smiled, and suddenly opened his mouth in Annan and said, "Who are you and why did you come here?" ”

Yang Muyun pretended not to understand Annan dialect, shook his head, and opened his mouth to say a word in Chinese.

A strange color appeared on the old man's face, and he said in surprise: "You are a Han Chinese, from the Ming Dynasty?" "He spoke the same Chinese language as Yang Muyun.

"You can also speak Chinese?" Yang Muyun was quite surprised, it was so strange that an old man who seemed to be isolated from the world could speak Chinese in such a reckless jungle.

The old man's face showed a strange look, and the eyes that were looking at him narrowed slightly.

"It's really weird," the old man shook his head, "you were obviously bitten by a green-ringed snake, but why didn't you show a trace of poisoning?" Can you run this far? Stretched out his hand and grabbed Yang Muyun's wrist.

Yang Muyun only felt that the old man's hand was extremely hot, and he had a hot feeling when he grabbed it, and before he could scream, the old man's hand was withdrawn.

"No wonder, no wonder," the old man said in a loud voice: "You have fallen into the love Gu of the Miao people in the northern mountains, no wonder the venom of ordinary poisonous snakes can't hurt you." ”

"He actually knows about the Miao people's love Gu," Yang Muyun said secretly in his heart: "It won't have a relationship with those Miao people, right?" ”

"How did you, a Han Chinese, come to us?" The old man asked with a hostile expression.

Yang Muyun's mind was racing, and he replied without the slightest hesitation: "I am here to see Lord Venasuva, the leader of the Cunpen people, at the behest of Emperor Daming. ”

"You want to see Venasuva-sama?" The old man's face softened a little, but still

Asked, "What to do?" ”

"Who are you?" Yang Muyun deliberately asked with a vigilant face.

"The deity is the master here," the old man said, "as long as you tell it honestly, the deity will take you to Venasuva." ”

"Really?" Yang Muyun's eyes lit up, and he said: "My Ming army is on its way south, preparing to crusade against Annan, and the emperor sent me to meet Lord Venasuva to discuss the plan to crusade against Annan. ”

"Emperor Ming wants to send troops to attack Annan?" The old man raised his eyebrows, his gaze swept over his face, "Really? ”

"How dare I play with such a big thing?" Yang Muyun said solemnly: "Take me to meet your Venasuva Lord." ”

The old man's gaze stared at him for a while, and the corners of his eyes turned slightly, "You said that you came by the will of Emperor Ming, so where is Emperor Ming's holy purpose?" ”

"I came with the emperor's edict," Yang Muyun reacted very quickly, "This is an extremely confidential matter, how can it be written on the holy decree, if it falls into the hands of the people of Annan, won't everything be over?" ”

"How can the deity believe you?" The old man's eyes turned and said, "If you are a spy of the Yue people, can you also let you go to see my family, Lord Venasuva?" ”

"If the divine master doesn't believe it, I have a certificate on me," Yang Muyun said, "You can see at a glance that what I said is true." ”

"Go and search him." The old man commanded in brute.

Immediately, a person stepped forward and searched Yang Muyun's body carefully, took out two golden waist cards from it and respectfully presented them to the old man.

"The avant-garde of the government army is the fifth rank with a knife officer," the old man read silently, and his eyes turned to another waist card, "Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Qianhu." Glancing at him, the corners of his mouth hooked, "Your background is not small!" Then what did you run away from when you saw the deity? ”

"What the Divine Master just played with is really ...... It's really weird," Yang Muyun laughed dryly, "I don't know why, I want to go around, I don't want to disturb the divine master." ”

"Oh?" The old man's eyes flashed, "Could it be that the things summoned by the deity are even weirder than those of the Miao people?" ”

"What do you mean by this?"

"You have been caught by the love Gu of the Miao woman," the old man's eyes were blazing, "If you hadn't had close contact with the Miao people, how could you have been treated with a love Gu?" ”

"The divine master's eyes are like torches, and he admires them," Yang Muyun said with a smile: "But this is a private matter below, it is really not good to talk to outsiders, and I hope the divine master will forgive me." ”

"Well," the old man's voice changed, "what about the two men?" Was it sent by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty like you? ”

Yang Muyun secretly screamed badly, Zheng Yu is the daughter of Zheng Ke, the commander of the Annan army, I don't know if it has fallen into their hands, if they interrogate her true identity, wouldn't all the words I just made up have to be exposed? Then he gritted his teeth, still pretending to be casual on his face, "They, one is my companion, and the other is the guide I hired, they were frightened by the divine master and ran away from me, and if the divine master helped me find them, I would be grateful." ”

The old man's gaze stared at his face for a long time, and Fang smiled slightly, "If you are really the envoy of the Heavenly Empire, the deity will never dare to slack off." Before I meet my lord, Venasuva, I would like you to be wronged for a while. ”

"It's okay," Yang Muyun said, "It's right for a divine master to be careful, just don't delay a big thing...... By the way, in Xia Yang Muyun, he has not yet consulted the name of the priest. ”

"The deity is nothing but a wilderness man," the old man said, "a cheap name is not enough to worry about, so don't say it." Since you're here to discuss with my Venasuva-sama, come with the deity! ”
