Chapter 874 The Bamboo Tower in the Forest
Chu Huan and his entourage were not on the way for a day, they stayed overnight, and after the afternoon of the next day, they saw the continuous mountains in the distance from a distance, the snow had not melted, and the continuous mountains were covered with a thin layer of snow, covered in silver, but it was also quite beautiful.
The Great Qimeng Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, the mountain range winds and falls, the height is uneven, there are three peaks of the most famous, it is the three peaks of the snake, the jade spring and the bald rock, these three peaks are in full swing, the whole Great Qimeng Mountain, the trails are intricately intertwined, there is no avenue that can be driven up for a long time, each road is rugged, very difficult to walk.
At the beginning, the ghost people spent a sky-high price to buy the Great Qimeng Mountain as a habitat, for many years, the Great Qimeng Mountain has been the foundation of the Ghost Fang people, and it is also the natural hunting ground of the Ghost Fang people, but the original people can not easily approach.
Those who know know know that in the hearts of the ghost people, the Great Qimeng Mountain is their homeland, sacred and inviolable, anyone who invades the Great Qimeng Mountain, the ghost side is regarded as an enemy, and there seem to be many staggered paths and roads on the mountain, outsiders do not know so, the ghost people are very clear that these trails are not all free to walk, many trails are actually traps, set up organs, said to catch prey, but this prey certainly contains which fierce beasts, but also contains the unfamiliar guests who enter the Great Qimeng Mountain.
If there is no ghost Fang person to lead, ordinary people entering the Great Qimeng Mountain are likely to fall into the trap.
The building of the ghost people is mainly made of bamboo and wood, the bottom floor is overhead, high above the ground, and the upper part is where the residence is, and most of the houses built by these bamboo and wood are between the mountains, from top to bottom, several families are connected together.
At first glance from the bottom of the mountain, you can only see the towering dense woods, and as long as you enter the mountain, you can see the houses of the ghost people.
In that year, the ghost party moved to the Great Qimeng Mountain, and there were sixteen in total. The Great Ghost Fang family, including their family members and servants, has multiplied for hundreds of years, sixteen. The big family can be regarded as a prosperous person, forming sixteen holes, intermarrying with each other, although each cave owner manages his own affairs on weekdays, but when it comes to the entire ghost side, it needs to be discussed through a meeting, although each cave will have its own cave rules, but it is more necessary to abide by the laws of the entire ghost side.
Although the Great Qimeng Mountain is not vast, it is more than enough to accommodate the sixteen caves of the ghost side within a radius of dozens of miles, and the sixteen caves also have their own territory.
It is only more than ten miles away from the Great Qimeng Mountain, but there is a village, although the two sides are not far apart, but the villagers in the village rarely go to the side of the Great Qimeng Mountain, in the eyes of the villagers, the ghost people are fierce and savage, they all belong to the wild people outside the Huawai, even if they occasionally meet on weekdays, they do not greet each other, fortunately, although the two sides ignore each other, they do not have conflicts, but they are peaceful.
The Great Qimeng Mountain was in front of him, Chu Huan no longer let the guards follow all the way, and took the brightly armored guards up the mountain, Chu Huan was worried that the ghost people would have a misunderstanding.
Having been in contact with the ghost master of the ghost side, Chu Huan of course understood that the ghost side was not the so-called alien savage, but there was one thing he understood, for many years, the ghost side had been self-sufficient in the Great Qimeng Mountain, just like people from outside the world, they were self-contained, they had little contact with the original people, and they lacked understanding of each other.
Although the Sixteenth Cave of the Ghost Fang gathered three thousand warriors to help Chu Huan eliminate Huang Tianyi, Chu Huan knew in his heart that this was not because the Ghost Fang really had any good feelings for the government, it was nothing more than because he secretly met with the Ghost Fang Cave Master last time, and showed the Ghost Lord necklace he got from Hexi Valley's hand, under the token, coupled with his commitment to the Ghost Fang, the Ghost Fang people were willing to help each other for their own interests. Chu Huan still couldn't say.
If you rashly take the elite soldiers and good generals up the mountain, it may not make the ghost people misunderstand.
Xuanyuan Sheng saw that Daqimeng Mountain was in front of him, and he also knew that if the soldiers and generals rashly went up the mountain, I was afraid that it would really cause misunderstanding, and he did not insist on leading the troops up the mountain at the moment, and selected ten capable guards warriors, who personally led the team to escort Chu Huan up the mountain.
The Great Qimeng Mountain is undulating, Chu Huan really didn't know for a while where the ethnic group where Hexi Valley was located was in the Great Qimeng Mountain, and asked the villagers, but the villagers knew very little about the ghost people, so they thought about going up the mountain first, as long as they saw the ghost people and asked, they would naturally not go on a business trip.
The guards stayed outside the village and camped, and Chu Huan repeatedly told him not to enter the village to harass the people, and then led less than twenty of his men to the Great Qimeng Mountain.
When it was dusk, the sky was dark, and there was snow on the road, and the group did not travel long, they had already come to the foot of Daqimeng Mountain, Chu Huan took the lead in turning over and dismounting, and said: "The mountain is rugged and difficult to walk, get off the horse and walk, so as not to hurt the horse!" ”
Everyone dismounted at the moment, and looked up from the foot of the mountain, and the trees were dense, but there was a very winding path that winded upward, and it was not far from the woods.
The Great Qimeng Mountain is high and steep, Chu Huan explained to everyone again, the ghost side has the rules of the ghost side, although this trip is an official errand, but it is also necessary to respect the people of the ghost side, and you must not cause trouble on the ground of the ghost side, the ghost side is fierce, and the sense of self-defense is very strong, there are not many people who read among them, many people are hot-tempered and angry, in case there is really a conflict, the ghost party does not care whether you are an official or a thief.
After explaining a few words, everyone was about to go up the mountain, and suddenly saw three or four people coming out of the mountains and forests, Chu Huan took a look, and saw that these people were all dressed in ghost services, and were about to say hello, when they had already taken the lead in asking, "Who are you?" "These men were all carrying longbows and quivers, and their faces were full of vigilance.
Xuanyuan Shengcai said in a deep voice: "This is Lord Qincha Chu, I want to see the ghost master of your ghost side!" ”
The people glanced at each other, and one of them took two steps forward and asked, "Who is Lord Chu?" ”
Chu Huan had already stepped forward and said with a smile: "This official is Chu Huan, can a few brothers take us to meet your old ghost master of Hexi Valley?" ”
"Are you really Lord Chu?" The man looked suspicious, "You are our great benefactor of the ghost side, Lord Chu Huan Chu?" ”
As soon as everyone heard that person's words, they all breathed a sigh of relief, since the other party called Chu Huan a great benefactor, naturally there was no hostility, Sun Zikong had already smiled and said: "Not bad, this is your great benefactor, Lord Chu, hurry up and inform your ghost master, our lord wants to see your ghost master to discuss big things!" ”
The man was still suspicious: "If you are really Lord Chu, we will naturally welcome it, but ...... How do you prove that you are Lord Chu? ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai couldn't help frowning and said, "Master Qincha Chu, is there anyone who dares to pretend to be successful?" You say that Lord Chu is your great benefactor, do you want Lord Chu to suffer from the cold at the foot of the mountain? ”
Chu Huan waved his hand, thought about it for a while, suddenly took out something from his arms, raised his hand, and threw it over there, the man was also nimble, reached out to catch it, and looked at it, Chu Huan had already said, "Do you know this thing?" This is a gift from your old ghost lord! ”
What Chu Huan threw out was a wood carving.
The first time Chu Huan met Hexigu was in a restaurant in Taiyuan City, when Hexigu father and son were in trouble, Chu Huan came forward to relieve them, Hexigu was grateful at the time, and took off a wood carving from the ghost lord's necklace and gave it to Chu Huan, Chu Huan also accepted it at that time, at this time, the man looked at the wood carving, his expression suddenly became respectful, he stepped forward, and returned the wood carving with both hands, "It's really a great benefactor, Lord Chu, this is Bald Rock Peak, the old ghost master is in Pansnake Peak, and the instructions have been handed down from above, It is said that Lord Chu is coming to our Great Qimeng Mountain recently, and people have been sent to wait at the intersections of the mountain. ”
Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile: "I'm tired, then are we going to Pan Snake Peak?" ”
The man immediately said: "Coiling Snake Peak can bypass from the back of our Bald Rock Peak, the road is very close there, the cave master has instructed, if Lord Chu happens to come from us, he will take you up the mountain first, and the cave master will personally lead you to see the ghost master!" ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai had already asked, "Who is your cave master?" ”
"Our cave master is Yi Gu Si Yi Cave Master!"
"Oh?" Chu Huan smiled: "It turns out that this is the place where Lord Yi Dong? Lord Yi Dong led the army to defeat Huang Zhigui, and this official really wants to meet Lord Yi Dong! ”
The man immediately said, "Everyone, please! He flashed to the side and got out of the way.
"Lead the way!" Xuanyuan Shengcai said in a deep voice.
The man and a few companions led the way in front, along the winding road to the mountain, Chu Huan and the others were leading the horses to follow behind, the road was not wide, and the ground was uneven, the group was afraid of hurting the horse's hooves, and the walking was very slow, Chu Huan's Thunder Fire Qilin was temperamental at the beginning, but now with Chu Huan, it seems to have a lot of cultivation, although ordinary horses are still very afraid of it and dare not get too close, but this guy will not neigh at every turn now, deliberately scary.
After walking for a while, Xuanyuan Sheng suddenly frowned and asked, "My lord, look, what is that?" ”
Chu Huan and the others looked up and looked ahead, only to see that on the left side of the front, there was a bamboo building made of bamboo, which looked very exquisite, in a bamboo forest, the corner of the building was exposed, and then some distance up, it was even clearer to see, there was a thin layer of snow on the top of the building, the forest bamboo building, the green bamboo and white snow reflected each other, in this winter, it was very quiet and elegant.
At the window of the bamboo building, a head had already poked out, and the ghost party who led the way in front had already waved his hand and said, "Lord Chu is here, prepare tea!" He turned back to Chu Huan and smiled: "Lord Chu, this is a teahouse, it will take a while to go up the mountain, after our ghost people return from the mountain, after passing through the teahouse, we have to drink a cup of tea to warm up our bodies, since I know that the adults are going to come to Daqimeng Mountain, we have been preparing here, and please go upstairs with you to have a cup of tea!" ”
