In particular, there are dozens of collapsed and rotting towering trees, lying in the middle of the street, and the trunks are covered with a large number of thick vines, which are connected with dense grass and shrubs, which have completely obscured the streets entering the town!

And to get into the town, you have to go through this street...

"Hmm! It seems that the village chief is still prescient, and the road to enter this town is really difficult, so I'll go and open the way first!"

Luo Zhongkun said, picked up the firewood knife, and walked over first.

At that moment, Luo Zhongkun was holding a sharp firewood knife and chopping all the way to open the way, while Zhou You and Duoyang followed behind them step by step, and the three of them slowly moved forward.

Looking at the distance of less than 100 meters on this road, it took them almost an hour to toss, and a lot of physical exertion was exerted before they could barely pass this difficult "roadblock" and enter the main street of the town!

As soon as they entered the main street, the trio were stunned by what they saw...

Looking all the way along the street, there are broken bones everywhere, large and small, horizontal and vertical, at least more than a thousand, many of which are separated from the body, the torso is broken, twisted and scattered everywhere!

And at this time it is already dusk, even if there is the afterglow of the sunset, but it is still extremely gloomy, the cold is pressing, plus the bones all over the place, glowing with a faint white light, it can be described as white bone phosphorus, the atmosphere is weird...

This terrifying scene makes people imagine what kind of purgatory on earth this "Thunder Drum Town" where the Lich War took place back then!

After a shock to their hearts, the three of them regained their composure and continued to walk forward, because they all knew that as long as the sun went down, these bones could turn into demons...

The tree seemed to grow right in the middle of the street, but it had collapsed, and its trunk was very dense and massive, and it was covered with long vines and moss, and the rotting trunk stretched out, full of insects, ants, and weeds, like a hill, and stood in front of everyone...

"Hmm... Looks like it's going to start work again!"

Luo Zhongkun muttered, then stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pick up the rotten tree trunks and weeds that covered the road, raised the firewood knife in his hand, and was about to chop down!

"Uncle Luo, slow down!" Duo Yang suddenly stopped him.

"Uh... Sister Duoyang, what's wrong?"

Luo Zhongkun was stunned for a moment, but immediately stopped moving.

"Something seems wrong with this place, you let me see it first!"

Duoyang said as he walked over to the tree.

"Oh, well..."

Although Luo Zhongkun didn't feel anything wrong, but seeing that Lan Duoyang said this, he still let go and stood aside to watch.

Duoyang stood still, staring intently at the ground, then checking the moss and dirt around her, and then her eyes focused on the trunk of the rotting tree.

After observing for two minutes, Doyang suddenly reached out his deerskin-gloved hand, opened the close-fitting animal skin backpack, and took out a brown ceramic bottle from inside.

She uncorked the bottle, poured a cluster of hazel powder into her palm, and with a flick of her hand, sprinkled the yellow/colored powder over the rotting tree in front of her.

With Duoyang's action, the spilled hazel powder fluffed up in mid-air, turning into a hazel mist, enveloping the mountain-like rotting trees, and emitting a pungent smell that permeated the air.

"Snort... Laugh at... Snort..."

Soon, a strange scene appeared, the rotting tree that was blocking the crossroads, including the vines and weeds around it, was corroded by this hazel mist, and quickly melted away like a candle encountering flames...

When this rotting towering tree "melted" in front of the four people, the intersection became clear again, and not far in front of the street, a square appeared!

"Uh... Sister Duoyang, what kind of medicine powder is this, it is so powerful!"

Luo Zhongkun couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Oh, this is the "Transformation Powder", which is a secret medicine of our Gongshi lineage, which has the effect of eliminating shadow filth, retiring sperm and avoiding monsters... Previously, it was a spirit tree that had turned into filth, so the Transformation Powder was useful for it!" Duo Yang explained.

"Uh... What does this mean?" Luo Zhongkun asked her curiously.

"On this issue, it is directly related to the traditional maple worship of our Miao family!"

Duo Yang said, and said: "Uncle Luo, in fact, you should know that we Miao people, whether they are raw seedlings or mature seedlings, as long as there is a place where Miao people gather, we have the traditional custom of worshipping the sweetgum tree!"

Hearing her say this, Luo Zhongkun suddenly understood, nodded and said: "Yes, in the Miao area, there are maple trees planted in front of and behind the village, and the maple tree can be said to be the totem tree that our Miao people have worshiped since ancient times, that is, the ancestral god tree. ”

"Yes, in the eyes of our Miao people, the tree is inseparable from the village, and every village has a quaint and vigorous maple tree as a tree to protect the village!

Duoyang also nodded and said.

It turns out that there is a historical story in the Miao area, saying that the ancestor of the Miao people, Chiyou, made a cane from a maple tree, which is majestic and indestructible.

Later, due to the loss of the maple cane, Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor failed in the battle of Zhuolu, and Chiyou was killed in Song Mountain.

After the death of Chiyou, the slopes of the Song Dynasty grew into a sweetgum forest, and the descendants of the Miao people believed that those sweetgum trees were the incarnation of Chiyou, so they worshipped from generation to generation.

Therefore, in the later long-term migration process, the Miao people must first plant maple trees everywhere they go, and swear an oath: "The maple tree lives and builds a village, and the maple tree dies and people migrate!"

So far, all Miao villages are planted with sweetgum trees to protect them.

Since ancient times, every time the Miao people migrate, they must first plant sweetgum trees, and the sweetgum trees can be planted to settle down, otherwise they will migrate to other places.

There are huge sweetgum trees in front of the Miao villages, which are considered to be the trees that protect the village, and are regularly sacrificed, and when people are sick and have animal plague, they burn incense and hang red to the sacred tree, praying for the plague to go away and bless peace.

For the thousand-year-old maple, the Miao people are not only not allowed to cut it, but even if it dies, no one dares to cut it. Only under the auspices of the elders can the Miao people cut down the maple trees that have died naturally, and use them to make crowbars for killing cattle during festivals, sacred pillars for tethering cattle, and the earliest wooden drums used for sacrifices. Although these materials are all dried maple trees that have fallen naturally, they have the miraculous power of the gods and always protect the grandchildren and descendants of the Miao people.

"Oh! How can I say it, the big tree that was defiled by Miss Duoyang with "transformation powder" just now is a sweetgum tree!"
