This old man, who was called an "elder" by Heizi, was named Lei Xuexue, a native of Zhusitong, the head of the "Sanmiao Association (a non-governmental organization that studies the history and culture of the Miao people)", and had practiced medicine and practice in the areas of Dangniutong, Zhusitong, and Chishuitong for a long time, and enjoyed high prestige.

"Fellow villagers, there are old decays, don't worry about your safety, those who should farm and those who should cultivate the fields are scattered." Lei Xue said.

"Thank you, Elder." One by one, the crowd left.

Seeing that the people were almost finished, Lei Xue took out a piccolo from a large black cloth bag, blew the flute, and in less than three minutes, a leopard came out with a "willow branch" sun hat and wagging its tail.

"Man, let's go to Tucheng—" Lei Xue patted the leopard on the top of his head.

"Roar-" The golden leopard screamed softly, ran away with Lei Xuexue, and went straight to Tucheng, where Zhuge Liang was stationed......

"Damn, the mount is a leopard, it's too awesome, isn't it?"

"A barbarian is a barbarian, and a beast dares to sit. Evil sect. ”

The guards of Tucheng were very surprised when they saw that Lei Xue had arrived outside Tucheng and was sitting on a leopard with a golden leopard on his side. But soon they calmed down again, set up their spears, stopped Lei Xuexue, and shouted: "Who is Diaomin, report your name quickly!" ”

"Contemptible Lei Studies, the head of the Three Miao Society, dedicated to the study of ancient dwellings and witchcraft...... the elder took off the wicker hat from his head and hung it on the tail of the leopard.

"What do you want, old man?" The guard asked again.

"Do you need to ask?" Lei Xuexue's eyes were half-closed.

"Old man, if you don't say it, how do we know?" The guard touched the back of his head.

"I-want--see-Kong-Ming-" Lei Xue said word by word.

"You are very rude, is Prime Minister Zhuge also called by you?" The guards didn't let him in, "Besides, our prime minister has ordered it, and Miao Man will not see it!"

"No, isn't it?" Lei Xuexue touched the gourd hanging from his waist, "I'm here to serve the oracle of the great god Chiyou, and I don't want the lives of thousands of of you?" ”

"Absolutely." As soon as the guard heard that Lei Xue was a wizard, he immediately said respectfully, "Elder, wait a minute, I'll go and pass the word to the prime minister." ”

"That's what it sounds like." Lei Xue jumped off the Golden Leopard.

The guards hurriedly entered the gate of Tucheng and reported to Zhuge Liang that an elder of the Miao tribe had asked to see him.

"Got it, our army is finally saved......" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, the corners of his mouth hooked. He concluded that those Miao people must have been frightened by his notice, and hurriedly asked people to invite Elder Lei Xue into the camp.

After taking his seat, Elder Lei said mysteriously that the Shu army entered the territory of Sanmiao in a big way, offended the local river gods and mountain gods, and it was necessary to bathe and cast spells on an empty stomach for several hours, and the gods would forgive, Yunyun.

"As soon as you enter the Miaojiang area, especially in the Xiongxi area, there are more and more people vomiting and diarrhea in the Shu army, could it really anger the gods?" Zhuge Liang, who has always respected ghosts and gods, pondered and felt that something was strange.

Now that I heard Lei Xue flickering like this, I thought about it for a while, and I believed it, so I agreed to Elder Lei's proposal: "Elder Lei, when will you do it?" ”

"The sooner the better!" Ray replied.

"Okay."

Kong Ming immediately ordered the tent to prepare the three animal sacrifices, went to the bank of Xiongxi in person, followed Elder Lei's reminder, set up an altar incense case, pretended to be a sorcerer, and cast spells on the river. Of course, these spells were written on a 300-page Chinese character version of the "Encyclopedia of Witchcraft", and Zhuge Liang had to read it word for word.

On the beach of the Wushui River, the sun is shining and the sun is scorching. 81 Miao people wearing masks, dressed as fierce and hideous gods and ghosts, with leopard heads and lion noses, raised eyebrows and protruding eyes, green faces and fangs, and full facial muscles. Miao people sang and danced, and they could be in the shade of the trees.

Kong Ming put on the magic robe of a wizard, stood against the sun, held the dust whisk in one hand, and held the "Encyclopedia of Witchcraft" in the other, chanting in his mouth, praying for the Shu army.

From nine o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon, the ritual was carried out for four hours, but the symptoms of the poisoning of the Shu army were still not alleviated. Zhuge Liang was suspicious of the identity of Lei Xue, and couldn't help but say that he won Lei Xue.

"Elder Lei, you're not teasing me, are you?" Kong Ming's face was gloomy, and his fingers stopped on page 250.

"Tens of thousands of lives in my Zhusidong, Fuchengtong and other villages are in your hands, how dare you, how dare you." Mr. Lei Xue said with a smile.

"Then I prayed for four hours, as you wished, why the gods have not yet forgiven me?"

"Prime Minister don't worry, this matter must not be reckless, sincerity is spiritual, you have to hold on for half an hour." The old gentleman said.

"I'm dying of thirst." The hungry Kong Ming raised his head and drank a few sips of water, "Yang Yi, bring me some food." ”

"Wait—Prime Minister, you can't eat." Lei Xue said loudly.

"It's been four hours, why can't you eat?" Zhuge Liang looked confused.

"There was a pause for half an hour in between, not counting, and this book is not finished, you can't be stunned by the sun, right?"

"It seems to make some sense." Zhuge Liang, who was covered in stinky sweat, wiped his forehead with his sleeve. In order to save the life of the Shu army, Zhuge Kongming had to grit his teeth and continue to "cast" for half an hour.

Seeing Kong Ming continuing to learn Miao Min's singing on the altar, jumping around for a while, jumping up and down for a while, like a monkey, Mr. Lei Xuexue and the crowd of onlookers almost didn't laugh out loud.

"Zhuge Kongming, everyone in the world says that you are the wisdom of the Three Kingdoms, and in my Wuxi area, you are a stupid donkey...... "The old gentleman took out a scone from his arms and scolded in his heart while chewing the scone......

It's not too early, and it's time for the show to end.

Zhuge Liang sat on the chair exhausted: "Old man, can you stop?" ”

"Yes." The old gentleman nodded slightly, seeing that Zhuge Liang's lips were dry, he felt that he was almost a monkey, and he should also give an antidote.

"There's Mr. Law." Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and saluted.

The old gentleman took a gourd, walked to the dozens of large water tanks that had been prepared, and poured a little liquid into each of them, while pretending to recite a mantra, "Great god, give me strength!" "Urgent as a law, the great god of Chiyou comes to help......"

After reading, the old gentleman said to Zhuge Liang: "After drinking this water, the symptoms of soldier poisoning will disappear tomorrow." Take only one small bowl per person, and don't overdo it, otherwise the gods will be angry again. ”

The old gentleman put away the gourd and waved his hand to the onlookers Miao Min: "It's all gone, the puppet drama led by Prime Minister Zhuge will end tonight." So they all dispersed and went back to their stockhouses.

"This old man won't poison the water, let's all be poisoned and put in a desperate situation, right?" Seeing the old gentleman laughing and walking away, Kong Ming had no bottom in his heart.

Zhuge Liang was suspicious, and first let a few soldiers who vomited very badly do the test. An hour later, sure enough, the soldiers' symptoms improved significantly, and they did not vomit or diarrhea.

"The gods forgive me for waiting! Prime minister. Kong Ming was overjoyed, so he ordered everyone to drink it quickly.

In fact, where is the offense to the gods, only the Miao people know best, the people near the river are ordered by the Miao King to scatter a large amount of Gu poison at the source of Wushui. Hehe, Zhuge Liang is smart, but he was tricked as a monkey by Miao Min.

After the poisoned Shu army took the antidote, they all returned to normal on the second day and did not vomit again. Zhuge Liang immediately ordered the three armies to die of thirst in the future, and they were not allowed to drink the water of Xiongxi (Wushui River) directly.

At noon three days later, Kong Ming climbed the commanding heights of Lion Rock by Xiongxi, looked south, and vaguely found that there was a true dragon qi in the southwest mountain slowly rising and spreading outward, which must be the location of Bucheng.

Kong Ming pinched his fingers and calculated, if Miao Wang Qiantong did not return to his lair, he would most likely hide in the Dong village not far from Xiongxi.

"With ......" Kong Ming slapped his head, suddenly had a plan, and after returning to the camp, he immediately divided 10,000 troops, led by Yang Yi, who joined the army, and advanced non-stop.

Qian Xiaofei, the wife of Miao King Qian Tong, did not go out to fight with Miao Wang, and stayed in Gutian, specializing in the transportation of grain, grass and weapons. On this day, Qian Xiaofei was wearing a battle robe, carrying a double sword, and led a thousand men and horses to escort grain, grass and weapons, along the avenue, and was walking in the direction of Xiongxi.

At the other end of the ancient post road, the Shu army of the brigade carried the red and yellow flags bordered with the names of "Shu" and "Yang", and rushed in the direction of the low ridge, and could encounter Qian Xiaofei and their transport team at any time.

Qian Xiaofei rode a dark horse, walked at the front of the team, and sang mountain songs as he walked. It didn't take long for the troops to march to the ten-mile flat of green trees and red flowers.

The area is surrounded by mountains and is between 1,600 and 1,883 meters above sea level. There is an open land of about 10 square kilometers in the middle, so it is also called ten miles flat. It is called ten miles flat, but in fact it is not a flat river, but composed of some small hills, on which some small grasses and some small shrubs grow, and military lookouts of different sizes are located on small hills.

Ten miles flat has good grassland ecological conditions, every year in the lunar calendar in March and April, the mountains are full of blooming Yunjin rhododendrons, reflecting mountain red. This spring, under the action of abundant rain and sunshine, all kinds of flowers have bloomed in full bloom, a sea of flowers.

Qian Xiaofei stood on the top of the mountain, feeling the mountain breeze, breathing in the fresh air of the high-altitude grassland, and under his feet was the green grass dotted with brightly colored cloud brocade rhododendrons, like colorful clouds in the sky. As far as the eye can see, there are some shepherd boys happily releasing paper kites on the hillside, and the mood is also brighter with this feeling.

"Madam, give ......" The female attendant Yang Jinlan held a large bouquet of wildflowers in both hands and handed it to Qian Xiaofei.

"Thank you, Sister Lan." Qian Xiaofei took the bouquet, closed his eyes, breathed deeply, and smelled the refreshing fragrance of the flowers.

"Ma'am, there are a lot of mushrooms there." Another maid, Peng Yanfei, pointed to a large piece of silk thatch not far away and exclaimed.
