Chapter 140: Chiyou Divine Drum
Early the next morning, Ji Guo came and asked us to have breakfast together, and the restaurant was in the bamboo building in the middle.
Miaojia bamboo building is also called stilted building, because most of them are built on the slope, so only one side is grounded, the other three sides are erected by pillars, hanging in the air, in this way, the bottom layer naturally becomes a furnishing, and the second floor is the lobby.
The lobby of the bamboo building of Ji Guo's house is very wide, with 20 sets of bamboo tables and chairs, which is equivalent to the scale of a medium-sized hotel.
When we came, there were already a lot of people sitting inside, seven or eight Miao girls in colorful costumes shuttling in between, delivering food and pouring wine, it was very lively, and the slightly better seats in the lobby had been occupied.
Seeing this, Ji Guo smiled apologetically: "The three eldest brothers are late, there is no seat by the window, is it okay to sit here?" β
She took us to a table in the corner of the lobby and sat down, asked us what we were eating, and went back to order food for us.
As I waited for the meal to be served, I noticed three men in Miao costumes sitting at a table on my right, and they nodded and smiled at us when they saw me look over. It happened that Ji Guo came back with a dinner plate, so he introduced us, it turned out that these three people were her father Ji Guoqingtong and two brothers, Ji Guowu and Ji Guoxun.
Only then did I know that Ji Guo was originally their family's surname, and her real name should be Ji Guoguo or Ji Guo'er, the youngest daughter of their family, and the girls who shuttled through the lobby were either her sister or her sister-in-law.
Her father, Ji Guoqingtong, is the owner of Xiji Miao Village, and he is also the Miao King of the three nearby Miao villages.
This is unexpectedly good news, we have come here this time, we can live in King Miao's house, and have King Miao's youngest daughter as our guide, it is much more convenient to act.
Knowing that King Miao was here, we naturally wanted to go over to toast a glass of wine, but although Ji Guoqingtong and the three of them behaved very politely, they were not very enthusiastic, especially Ji Guoqingtong, a sixty-year-old man with a brown complexion and a somewhat dignified appearance, seemed to be a little worried, and discussed something in Miao with his two sons in a low voice.
It's a pity that I can't understand the Miao language, so I can only laugh with Ji Guoguo, however, Ji Guoguo, who was still like a happy little rabbit just now, became a little absent-minded not long after we sat down at this table.
After breakfast, Ji Guoguo led the way and led us to visit Miao Village.
Miao Village in the early morning looks completely different from the night, maybe it was because of the rain last night, as soon as the sun came out, a gorgeous rainbow was condensed in the mountains, we walked along the winding stone steps, walked through the mill, mountain streams, bamboo bridges, terraces, stepped on the early morning mist, laughed all the way, followed the direction of the rainbow, and went to the cave above the mountain col.
This karst cave is the unique scenery of Xiji Miao Village, even if other Miao Village is open to tourists, most of them are cultural landscapes, folk customs, and the karst cave of Xiji is a very famous natural landscape, visitors to this place, even if they do not live here, they will also come here to visit, and I want something, but also in this karst cave.
The cave is winding, stalagmites are scattered, and although it is still early, there are already many visitors in the cave who are guided to visit it. A wide clear stream flows out of the cave, runs through the village, and joins the river below the mountain, Ji Guoguo said that it is this stream that has nurtured their three Miao villages and brought them happiness.
After walking for more than an hour, we stopped in a huge cavern, larger than any of the other fortifications I had ever seen, at least a dozen stories high, with colorful stalactites hanging upside down, like the source of a rainbow.
There is a huge pool of water in the hole, the water of the pool is crystal clear, you can clearly see several springs at the bottom of the pool, the water color is blue, comparable to the Jiuzhaigou before the earthquake, there is a small island in the middle of the pool, there is a beautifully carved stone frame on the island, and there is a red and copper handbag with simple workmanship on the shelf.
Chi You Drum!
I can't help but see what I want, that's what I want!
Ji Guoguo saw me staring at the copper drum, and asked me with a smile: "Brother Yang also knows about the Chishen Drum?" β
I nodded: "I've heard of it, it's a bit weird to look at." β
Ji Guoguo raised his little face proudly: "Of course, this is a sacred object used by our ancestors, and when our ancestors fought against your Han Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, they used it as a war drum." β
I looked at her with a smirk: "Really? At that time, there was no technology to smelt copper. β
Ji Guoguo was suddenly unhappy, and turned his head angrily: "Our ancestors have hands and eyes to the sky, what is the red copper, otherwise you tell me, why has it been enshrined here for hundreds of years, but it is not rusty at all?" β
What she said is also the selling point of the Chiyou drum, a copper drum has been placed in the cave for more than 100 years, not only without the slightest rust, but also shining, which is indeed a miracle, and has also attracted countless experts and scholars to try to verify.
But it's a pity that no one can get close to this drum, the entire Miao family in Xiji Miao Village is a warrior who guards it, not to mention going to the island to study and research, even if you spit at it from afar, I'm afraid you can't get out of this Miao Village.
The Miao family respects the drums, and every major event has to beat the drum and sacrifice the drum, so there is a grand festival, the drum Tibetan festival.
And this Chiyou drum, it is rumored to be a relic of Chiyou, when Chiyou was defeated, the remnants of the Miao family retreated to the southwest, and they lost everything along the way, but this drum was preserved intact.
Later, after several wars, Chiyou Drum finally fell into the hands of the ancestors of Xiji, because of it, the three villages of Xiji, Wula and Zuojiang can take root here and live without worry.
Although this is mostly just a rumor of piercing and chiseling, what I have seen with my own eyes at the moment is indeed a rare magic weapon, and the specific effect is unknown, but the formations and charms carved on the drum are extremely complicated, faintly exuding a very fierce aura.
Yes, I really don't know how to describe this weird aura, I can only say that it is fierce.
Reiki usually only makes people feel comfortable, and being in a place where there is a lot of aura, it will make people feel refreshed.
And the aura on this drum is full of a sense that no one is close, just like a fierce beast that has experienced bloody killing, although it is dormant, it still makes people dare not look at it.
Qiu Yiyun gave Luo Ningfeng the scroll of parchment, what was recorded was the secret story about this drum, it was said that no one could beat this drum, but as long as the formation on it was activated with yang energy, it could make it exude an amazing aura, if it could plunder this aura in large quantities and lead it into the body, it could solve all the poisons and evil spells.
Before, I wondered how it was possible for the aura to break the spell, but at this time, I had to believe a little, this aura is indeed very special.
The next question is, how do you get your hands on it?
Don't look at it so grandly on the island, but whoever thinks that they can snatch it away by rushing over it would be naΓ―ve.
From the moment I stepped into this cave, I found that the entire cave was a huge formation.
The hundreds of stalactites above the head, the waterhole on the ground, the spring in the pool, the clear pool water and the drum on the surface actually condensed into an unbreakable whole, it doesn't matter if you visit the waterhole, but if you try to destroy any of them, you will have to peel off the skin, even if you don't die.
To be honest, I am very frustrated at this time, although Luo Ningfeng is best at formation, but in the face of this kind of natural formation, he still has to worry about it, not to mention, he has to snatch it away under the noses of thousands of guardians in Xiji Miao Village, the hope is too slim.
I lost interest for a while, and I said that I was a little tired, and I was ready to turn around.
But as soon as I turned around, suddenly a violent dizziness hit, and I felt lightheaded, and I involuntarily fell to the side.
Fortunately, it was Ji Guoguo on the side, and she hurriedly reached out to support me.
But my one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds of physique, which can be supported by a delicate girl of hers, suddenly most of my body pressed on her body, and even took her to the ground.
Fortunately, Xie Zhijian, who was beside her, reacted quickly and hugged both of us, so that he finally didn't roll to the ground, but he was also frightened by the people around him who screamed and dodged to the side.
I endured the dizziness and tried to stand up, but my hand was pressed in the wrong place, and I felt extremely soft to the touch.
Although I hurriedly withdrew my hand, it was still too late, and Ji Guoguo's exclamation sounded in my ears.
Luo Ningfeng, who had walked farther, reacted and rushed over to separate the three of us.
I hurriedly apologized to Ji Guoguo.
Ji Guoguo saw that I didn't have a heart, and I wasn't angry, but asked me, "Brother Yang, what's wrong with you?" β
"It's okay, dizzy, maybe low blood sugar."
Ji Guoguo didn't speak yet, but he heard a cold snort next to him, I don't know when, several young people from the Miao family appeared around us, looking at me with extremely unkind eyes, one of them was in his early twenties and asked Ji Guoguo: "What's wrong with him?" β
Ji Guoguo shook his head: "It doesn't matter if Brother Zhuang, he is sick, he didn't mean to bully me." β
The expression of the young man who was called Da Zhuang softened slightly: "Okay, you go back first, and leave it to us here." β
As he spoke, he was about to come up and fight me.
Ji Guoguo stretched out his small hand and stopped in front of me: "Brother Zhuang, they are my honored guests, do you want to steal business?" β
The young man was helpless, and said something to her in Miao before walking away with the others.
Although I have always been thick-skinned, but at this time, I noticed the disdainful gazes around me, and I couldn't help but feel hot, it seems that these people especially regard me as a stinky hooligan who takes advantage of me.
Obviously, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened for the first time, after all, most of the Miao girls who are guides are delicate and beautiful, and there must be some lustful guys who can't help but attack them, and as a result, I, the person who really has a problem, are all regarded as disciples.
"I'm sorry, Guoguo, I ...... just now"
"It's okay, Brother Yang, I'll send you back, and then call Uncle Shanqi to show you, our Miao family's doctor is no worse than you Han people."
I admit that Miao doctors have a variety of methods, and many times they can find another way to cure stubborn diseases, but at this moment, when I heard this, I couldn't help but be surprised.
Luo Ningfeng obviously did the same as I thought, and smiled first: "No need, he has an old problem, just go back and take some medicine." β
