Chapter 319: Stilted Building
Following the middle-aged man, under the "grip" of the girl, we walked along the rugged path of "sometimes disappearing and sometimes appearing", and after feeling a big detour, a strange village appeared in front of us.
In those few minutes, a lot of things were going on my mind.
The first is to determine whether the other person is friend or foe, or whether it is good or evil to us.
Looking back on the experience along the way, this valley is their paradise, since they choose to live in seclusion, their attitude is naturally the same as the group of people in the Peach Blossom Spring, hoping that everything in the valley is "not enough for outsiders".
If the judgment is correct, they are the seedlings of the village, and the people who give birth to the seedlings have mastered advanced Gu techniques.
Whether the Gu technique is powerful or not, I want to be able to judge it by looking at Bragu's methods.
It is no exaggeration to say that a hundred healthy bragus are enough to be worth an army of 100,000.
Blagu told me before that there are two people in the Miao Village who are particularly noble, one is a Miao doctor, and the second is a Miao witch, and a necessary condition for becoming a Miao doctor or Miao witch is to master advanced Gu techniques.
Of course, there will be a village owner in the village, and the noble status of the village owner is mainly reflected in the political status.
Some of the village Miao doctors are Miao Wu, in this way, the status of this person in the hearts of the villagers can already be explained by "god man".
Although I also know a little bit of Gu art, it's basically "theoretical knowledge", which is easy to say, but not easy to use.
I know that the Natal Gu is a very awesome existence, but I absolutely don't believe that it can withstand the attacks of half of the powerful Gu worms in the entire valley.
It's not arrogant, just the strength of the five of us, an old man, two women, Hao Minyuan doesn't have a gun yet, if he fights, he will be killed in seconds.
But their attitude towards us, especially me, can no longer be described as polite or respectful.
To be honest, in today's society, even if they treat their own parents, how many people respect them to the extent of such a great courtesy?
However, my heart is still up and down, and Bragu has reminded me more than once before that when I meet people with seedlings in the future, the first choice is to avoid them.
If you have to run into stubble, you have to outwit it, not hard.
The "turf" consciousness of the seedlings is stronger than that of the wild wolves, and outsiders are not welcomed.
Why are they so kind to me? In fact, it can no longer be described as friendly.
Calling me my master is even more confusing.
"It's ...... This is a stilted building! ”
I was looking at it when I suddenly heard Teacher Feng behind me exclaim.
Is this a house on stilts? I retracted my mind and looked ahead.
In front of you is really a tall or low stilted building, which makes people look at it at a glance as if they have come to a foreign country.
As far as I know, the stilted building is the place where some ethnic minorities in the south such as the Tujia and Miao ethnic groups live and live, and the stilted building is half land and half water.
The stilted building is built according to the situation of the mountain, it is in the shape of a tiger sitting, with the middle of "the left green dragon, the right white tiger" as the hall house, and the left and right sides are called Rao room, which is used for living and cooking.
The room is divided into two halves by the middle pillar, the front is a fire kang, and the back is a bedroom.
There is a curved corridor around the building on stilts, and the curved corridor is also equipped with a railing.
"The front Suzaku, the back Xuanwu" is the best house, and later pays attention to the orientation, or sits west to east, or sits east to west. Scale Literature
Of course, there are several legends about the origin of the stilted building.
Legend has it that a long time ago, the Tujia people in Xiangxi built thatched huts in the deep mountains and old forests to live, when there were tigers, leopards and jackals in the forest, people burned fires to drive away, but some snakes, insects, rats and ants often drilled into the grass houses.
So an old man tied a shelf to the tree next to the hut, put up a thatched canopy on top of it, and then pulled a large stone slab up the tree to make a pot on top of it.
The old man's method soon spread, and people have set up thatched huts on the waist of the big tree, because the feet of this kind of house are hung in the air, so the folk call it "stilted building".
The most basic feature of these stilted buildings is that the main house is built on the ground, and the wing houses are suspended on the other three sides and supported by pillars except for one side of the side house that is connected to the main house on the ground.
In the Wuling Mountain area, many places are dotted with stilted buildings, which rely on the beautiful natural landscape to become rich in geography and culture.
Today, the stilted building has become a purely a work of art and has lost its use value.
I remember when I was in junior college, at the September Art Festival organized by our class, I made more than a dozen models of stilted buildings.
In order to understand the stilted building, I collected a lot of information during that time and read no less than 1,000 photos about the stilted building, so I think I know a lot about the stilted building.
"Master, this is our stockade!"
I nodded, "But...... But I still don't understand, why do you call me...... Call me master. ”
The man pointed to the tallest stilted building: "As long as the master enters that building, everything will be understood."
"Ahh What's hidden in that stilted building? I asked, almost subconsciously.
"The host should go and see for himself!"
The angle we are at this time happens to be on a slope, which means that the entire insect dish Miao Village is located in the canyon in the canyon, which is really incomprehensible.
Anyone who knows a little about Feng Shui knows that the choice of a house is to choose a place with high ground, and how can it be deliberately built in a depression.
With a stomach full of doubts, we continued to follow the middle-aged man to the big stilted building.
The stilted building has three floors, the first floor is made of eighteen pillars thicker than an adult's thigh, and the second and third floors are made of bamboo and wood, with a layer of dark brown paint painted on the outside.
To be precise, there was no first floor on stilts, and we came to the wooden staircase, at the front of which was a door, and a bronze chain thicker than a finger hung from it, and a lock the size of an adult's palm appeared before me.
The middle-aged man took out the key, and with a crisp sound of "pop", the big lock opened.
When the door opened, the air was filled with flying dust. It choked a few of us and coughed repeatedly.
"It's been a long time since this door has been opened!"
Hao Minyuan said softly.
The middle-aged man nodded: "It's been thirty years!"
It's been so long! What's in it that's why they call me master?
There will always be no personal information about me, and then it will be written: This person - Liu Ludong - the owner of the Worm Valley Miao Village, the villagers must send a representative to kneel outside the temple outside the village...... The point is that thirty years ago, there was no me in the world!
I thought about the stone statue that looked like me and the nightmare I had last night, and I felt like I had thought of something, but I couldn't catch it.
But I could feel that the reason why they did this to me was because of the stone statue.
After the door to the stilted building was opened, we made it to the second floor.
