It is said that hundreds of Tujia people ran to this back mountain in groups, and the back mountain behind Queling Lake, the more you go inside, the more there is no road, and the more you go inside, the jungle is dense.

ran for a while, but there were no pursuers chasing after him.

The elders were already running out of breath.

Buni was on Agugi's back with an arrow in his body.

The leader of the Hewan Earthen Village, Begging, said: "Go further in, but there is no road, and the forest is denser. I think everyone should take a break in this place. ”

A few hundred people picked a spot and stopped for a moment.

Aggi held Buni next to a tree and told him to lean against it.

The arrows in the buni and the body kept bleeding out.

Several elders and the leaders of the Hewan Tuzhai and the Yayuan Tujia Village, and Guchedun came to Bunney's side.

An elder squatted down and said, "Buni, you must take off this arrow first, and then treat it, otherwise you will have to worry about your life." ”

Bunny was wounded by an arrow and his body was a little weak, "Elder...... My injuries are trivial. Right now...... What worries me the most is that something so big has happened in Tujiazhai. ”

"O Buni, the Tujia family has been living in peace for hundreds of years, and what should come is always coming. King Ning has taken a fancy to our Tujiazhai, and with such a few people in our hands, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with him. The elder said.

"If the Tujia people are united, it will not be ...... It's going to be a losing one. ”

"You mean Craftsman and Houin?"

"Now that he has become the patriarch, I am afraid that he will command it from this...... Order the other villages, let them obey the prince, if the prince's soldiers enter the Tujia village, our Tujia will be finished. Bunney said.

"Bunny, don't talk too much yet, and when we get to the stockade, let someone treat you." The elder said.

"At this time, the Queling Lake trail that went out has been sealed for them, how can we get out." Bunney Road.

"Don't worry, let the leaders of several villages discuss, what should everyone do next?" The elder said.

The three leaders and several elders of Hewan Tuzhai, Wanshou Ancient Village, and Yayuan Tujiazhai gathered together.

The elder said: "In the back mountain of Queling Lake, there is a giant beast in the ancestral family, let us not step into it casually." Look, the further you go in, the denser the forest becomes, and no one goes in or out, it is very likely that there is really a giant beast, and behind, the prince's people are following closely, what should we do now? ”

Begging said: "The situation in the back mountain, Jiang Pei and Hou Yin also know it clearly, and the road is small, I don't think they will catch up." ”

The head of the Tujiazhai of the Yayuan agreed with the meaning of the begging: "They must be in the Queling Terrace, waiting for us to go out." ”

"Do we have to risk death and enter the back mountain to escape this catastrophe?" Goodchton Road.

The elder said: "When you enter the back mountain, life and death are slim, and when you return to the Queling Terrace, there are people guarding there. Neither of these paths is a living road. ”

Everyone couldn't think of anything for a while.

"Jiang Pei shouldn't be able to control the entire Tujia Village, will there be Tujia people who come to Quelingtai to save us?" Begging Dao.

"It's just wishful thinking on our part." The elder said, "Jiang Pei holds the token of the Tujia patriarch, he is the legitimate Tujia patriarch, and no one will doubt what he says." ”

The road is dead again.

"Now we have to find a way to return to the village as soon as possible, so that people can heal the old patriarch." Goodchton Road.

"Yes, Gucciton is right, we have to find a way to go, otherwise, we can't get out, everything is in vain." Begging Dao.

"I heard my ancestors say that Queling Lake is a few small streams in the back mountain, trickling all the way along the back mountain, and finally forming a lake, why don't we follow these small streams all the way to the clouds, maybe we will find a way back to the village." An elder said.

Beggar objected: "If we go all the way, there is no way out, or if we are getting farther and farther away, haven't we delayed the time for the old patriarch to heal his wounds?" ”

Everyone nodded, no matter what you think, being stuck here is a dead end.

"According to me, we will kill us the way we came, and if possible, we may be able to rush back to the village." Goodchton Road.

It's also a way to do it.

"They wouldn't have thought we'd be back so soon, I think it works." The head of the Tujiazhai of the Yayuan agreed.

"Some of these people who came out of us were injured Tujia brothers, and now we are going to break out like this. I'm afraid that all of our people will be taken by them before they all rush out. Beggar said.

Everyone's mood is down again.

"Don't be too disappointed, the Tujia people of our Hewan Tuzhai because there are rivers, so the water is what we are good at, this Queling Lake has many small streams convergence, and Queling Lake is perennially dissatisfied, there may be seepage undercurrents at the bottom of this Queling Lake, or some dark passages. I told my brother to go into the water and investigate. Begger's words rekindled everyone's hope.

The elder said, "This matter should be sooner rather than later, and you should immediately send someone down to investigate." ”

By the time the two Tujia brothers who had gone to explore Queling Lake came back, it was already dark.

Several chieftains and others gathered together again.

Beggar was a little disappointed: "For two or three hours, my people were looking for it in the lake, and even as far as they could hear the sound of the prince on the shore, but they didn't find a dark hole and other secret passages for people to enter and exit." ”

It seems that the road is also blocked.

Everyone is in deep thought, there is no way to go, does it mean that everyone is dead?

"Rather than wait here for death, we should rush out in the night." Goodchton Road.

"Where are we going after we rush out? It is estimated that there are people from the prince in Wanshou Ancient Village. Beggar said.

"I can't care about so much, if I can't go out tonight, not only will everyone's food be a problem, but the old patriarch's arrow wound can't afford to delay." Goodchton Road.

"Okay, it's set for tonight, let's rush out together." Begging Dao.

"Leaders, this was originally a secret of our Tu family, but now when the life and death of the Tu family are in danger, it is necessary for me to tell you that everyone who runs for the patriarch knows this secret, and now I tell you, please keep this secret as well. Legend has it that there is a holy sword at the bottom of this lake, which sharpens iron like clay, and if we can find him, we may have some chance of winning. An elder said.

Gucciton nodded to indicate that he knew, and the other leaders also said that they understood, every time the patriarch was elected, there would be a link to find a sword in the water, there was such a deep-seated reason, but some people still expressed doubts, and begged to say: "We have searched for it so many times, why no one has found it, is there no such a sword in the world, but the ancestors said it casually?" ”

"We must not doubt the words of the ancestors, even if we do not have this sword, we still have to believe in his existence, this sword is said to be a sword used by the tiger god." The elder said.

Tiger God!

The tiger god is very sacred in the Tujia, he is the savior ancestor of the Tujia family, and every family in the Tujia family will worship the tiger god on special festivals, begging for peace in the Tujia village every year.

Now that Tujiazhai has encountered such a big crisis, if you can find the holy sword used by the tiger god, it will be very helpful to overcome the difficulties.

"Every time we compete for the patriarch, we are salvaging on the side close to the Queling Terrace, and we don't take him seriously afterwards, now we might as well change our position and look here. There is a bright moon today, and if it is a holy sword, the reflection of the moon in the water will be different. The elder said.

"Okay, in order to boost the morale of the Tujia people, we are going to find this holy sword tonight." Goodchton Road.

Everyone split up to find this holy sword, and at the same time, several brothers from Hewan Tuzhai also went down to the lake again to find this sacred sword.

Buni said weakly, "Elder, does the sword you are talking about really exist?" ”

"Now that Tujiazhai is so dangerous, whether it exists or not, we have to look for it, and it is very important to boost people's morale now. I believe what the ancestors said, the Tujia suffered a catastrophe, and the tiger god helped the Tujia survive that catastrophe. Now, the Tujia family has reached a moment of danger again, and our Tujia urgently needs the tiger god to help us. ”

"What if we can't find that holy sword?" Bunney worries about the authentic.

The elder also said uncertainly: "Now dozens of people have gone down to the lake to look for it, I hope they can find it." ”

The legends handed down by the ancestors, a holy sword that I don't know if it exists, the tiger god that the Tujia has been worshiping that can bring safety and happiness to the Tujia family, these mythical people and things of the Tujia Yixi have now become the first thing that this generation of Tujia people think of when they encounter danger.

Is there such a holy sword in Queling Lake? This is something that the elders themselves do not know.

The Elder and Buni were anxiously waiting for the Tujia people to be able to find the sacred sword.
