Chapter 7: The Painful Past
The boy skillfully pulled out the wooden arrow inserted in the croaking bird's neck, and then the wooden arrow blade slashed the croaking bird's neck, allowing the warm blood to flow down and flow into Ma Linlong's slightly open mouth.
When the croaking bird's blood was almost flowing, he used a wooden arrow to accurately cut open the croaking bird's chest, pulled out the heart the size of a baby's fist, and used the wooden arrow to cut the tip of the heart, so that the blood in the heart flowed into Ma Linlong's mouth.
Drinking fresh animal blood is a folk practice of the Wu people, especially some ancient clans, who believe that drinking animal blood and eating raw animal meat can improve people's blood and enhance people's physique, and the beast blood and meat of some demon beasts and high-level mountain beasts also have the effect of enhancing witch power.
Because all life comes from nature, and they are all beneficiaries of the vitality in nature.
Menghuan Red Dragon gave Ma Linlong the blood of the tip of the heart, which is also a kind of attention of the Wu people, they think that the blood on the tip of the heart is the essence of the whole mountain beast.
Of course, compared with the mountain beasts, the bird's blood must be much worse, not to mention that the croaking bird is an ordinary bird in the mountains and forests, so it will naturally not have an obvious effect. If it is a fierce beast, or a demon beast, the effect will definitely be different.
He has no other choice but to do this now, and he only has this croaking bird in his hand.
The practice of drinking the blood of beasts has caused other countries to misunderstand that the Wu people are uncivilized barbarians. But the Wu people think that this is their tradition, because all mountain beasts are very powerful, and some demon beasts even have the vitality of heaven and earth, and it is natural to absorb the essence of them.
After Ma Linlong swallowed the blood of the croaking bird, although his face was still pale, his spirit recovered a little, and his qi was much smoother. He asked hoarsely, "Little brother, did you hear what I just said clearly?"
Meng Wrapping Red Dragon rubbed his bloodstained hand on the quacking bird's feathers a few times, nodded vigorously, and replied loudly, "I heard clearly." Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely bring this news to Yitian City for you. ”
Ma Linlong said a little weakly: "Okay, repeat it, see if you can remember." This is a bit stubborn and a little rude.
But Meng Huan Chilong didn't care, and obediently repeated Ma Linlong's words without any mistakes. It can be seen that the young man is indeed a smart person, and he listened carefully just now, so he remembered these words.
Ma Linlong listened to him accurately repeat what he had just said, and his heart was much lighter, and he put down a heavy burden. I believe that as long as the news is sent to Yitian City, the Wu Nation will be prepared, and the people of the Righteous Dynasty will not rush into the interior like uncontrolled beasts, and they will not become sinners of the Wu Clan.
This made him very grateful to the young man in front of him, because the appearance of the young man made him unload the burden on his body and relieved the guilt in his heart.
But after Meng Huan Chilong retold it, he looked at Ma Linlong quietly, with an expression on his face that wanted to speak and stopped.
For the land of the earth, Meng Winding Red Dragon is still relatively familiar, because Wu Gong told him about this.
Although many places are sparsely populated and the environment is treacherous, the entire land covers an area of tens of millions of acres and has a population of about 100 million people. This is not even the land of the Ascending Heavens, which is also said to be inhabited by a few tribes.
In his Tianri area, there are thousands of large and small villages, hundreds of towns of different sizes. Although he didn't know how many people there were in this area, he knew that the outermost edge of the three regions of Tianba, Tianjiao, and Tianpan was an endless sea.
It is said that this sea is composed of two different seas, the west side is called the Storm Sea, which is a blue sea that looks very beautiful, but there are often strong winds and waves, and the east side is called the Ghost Sea, which is a black and cold sea, and there is often a cold and gloomy sea floating. The dividing line between the two seas is in the Tianjiao region in the southwest.
No one knows how big these seas are, only that there are seas in the west, south, and east of the Wu Nationality Kingdom, and only the north is a grassland, close to the Duanzheng Dynasty and the War Clan.
The sea is an unknown world for most of the Wicans. Legend has it that there are countless sea beasts and sea tribes in the sea, and like the forest, there are various dangers, and the sea can swallow a large ship at any time. It is said that the smallest sea boat can carry thousands of people, and the waves can easily tear them to pieces.
Legend has it that there is an unknown land in the depths of the sea, as if there are people from other countries who have explored this unknown sea and dedicated their lives to it, but they have not gained much.
Only the Wicans are not keen on this, because they are people who live on land and are not good at living on water.
Like most of the Wu people, Menghuan Red Dragon has only heard of the sea, but has never seen the sea. In the Tianri area, if you want to see the sea, you have to walk for more than ten days day and night before you can see the sea.
According to the knowledge of Wu Gongjiao, the Duanzheng Dynasty is in the northwest of the Wu Nationality Kingdom, close to the War Clan Country and the Five Spirits Kingdom, while the Angel God Kingdom is the westernmost part of the entire continent and is only connected to the Duanzheng Dynasty, while the northernmost is the Five Spirits Kingdom, which is connected to the War Clan Country and the Duanzheng Dynasty, that is to say, the Duanzheng Dynasty is connected to all countries.
From a geographical point of view, if the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty want to enter the Wu Nationality Kingdom, they must come from the northwest, and only by crossing the Qiyun Mountains in the north, passing through the Longba Plain, and then passing through the interior of the Wu Nationality, and passing through the Yitian City, can they enter the Yitian Mountain Range. Or climb over the Qiyun Mountain Range, and then directly climb over the highest peak of the Yitian Mountain Range, and climb over the land of the heavens, so as to reach the land of the sky.
It's just that it is impossible to climb over Yitian Peak, and so far, I have not heard of anyone climbing over the treacherous Yitian Mountain Peak.
Because the peak of Yitian Mountain is the highest peak in the Boundless Continent, the peak is covered with snow all year round, and the cold wind is raging all year round, which will often cause avalanches, and there are countless fierce beasts and demon beasts entrenched on the mountain, which ordinary people cannot pass.
If the people of the Righteous Dynasty want to enter the land of the heavens, they can only enter through the Heavenly City, but it is not easy to enter the Heavenly City. What's more, it is five or six days away from Yitian City, because Menghuan Cottage is closer to the Tianjiao area.
Now that the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty have entered the mountains and forests, they still have to report to Yitian City? So how did the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty appear in the mountains and forests? This made him a little confused, and he wanted Ma Linlong to help him solve his doubts.
Ma Linlong said the news that he had probed with his life, his mood became relaxed, he glanced at the young man, and found that the other party wanted to say something, so he said: "Don't believe my words?
When he saw the soldiers of the Duanzheng Dynasty, he actually didn't think it was true, until he was chased and killed and slashed by the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty, and he realized that this was a fact, and the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty had invaded the Wu Clan.
Although Meng Huan Chilong frowned, he still said very decisively: "I believe that you are a person from the government, and you will not deceive people with this kind of thing, and it is still the government that deceives, which is impossible." ”
Ma Linlong didn't expect him to answer like this, this was an unconditional trust in the government, which made him feel a little moved in his heart. Lying on the grass, he reached out and patted the thigh of the red dragon sitting next to him.
"Is there something you don't understand?"
Meng Winding Red Dragon nodded. "I heard Wu Gong say that the Duanzheng Dynasty is in the northwest of the Wu Nationality Kingdom, and only through the Longba Plain and through the Heavenly City can you enter the land of the heavens. I don't understand, how did they get into the forest?"
Ma Linlong knew that the young man was talking about Wu Gong, who was a village priest and was assigned by the Wu Ancestor Temple of the Wu Clan, who was responsible for educating and teaching witch power to the children in the village. The wizard of this village should be a good wizard, and even teach children the common sense of geography, so the teenager will have these thoughts and questions.
He said with some self-reproach: "It's that I didn't make it clear, these beasts came around the Storm Sea by boat and directly invaded the land of the heavens, and they built a small harbor in the land of ascending to the sky, I saw it with my own eyes, and I can't be wrong." From here, they want to enter the interior and occupy the Witch Kingdom. I asked you to send a message to Yitian City, just to block the people of the Righteous Dynasty in the land of heaven and prevent them from entering the interior, otherwise the entire Wu Clan Kingdom will suffer too much loss. ”
Meng Huan Red Dragon knew that Heavenly City was the only way to the interior, and by holding there, he would defend the enemy of the Heavenly Land. But he was still surprised that the people of the Righteous Dynasty could survive the stormy sea, as well as the ambition to occupy the Wu Clan, and he couldn't help but scream.
"They took the risk of crossing the Storm Sea just to occupy our Umno Kingdom?
Speaking of risk is completely subconscious, the Wu people think that it is a dangerous thing at sea, not to mention whether the sea beasts and sea tribes are real, that is, on the vast sea, if they are not overturned by the waves, they will also be lost in the boundless sea because they can't find the way forward, and then slowly die in anticipation and loneliness.
Correcting the storm sea that connects the dynasty and the Wu kingdom sounds risky. Legend has it that in bad weather, the waves will be hundreds of feet high, how did the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty cross the storm sea and sail to the land of the sky?
This made him a little curious and a little yearning.
But he did not dwell on this issue, because the invasion of the Righteous Dynasty was more important than the sea. He looked at Ma Linlong, hoping for an accurate answer.
Ma Linlong gasped again because of so many words. In this state, he still looked at the red dragon and nodded firmly.
But Meng Huang Chilong still emphasized his doubts. As far as I know, their country is bigger than ours and has a larger population than us, so why should they seize our land?"
This was a somewhat childish question, but it made Ma Linlong involuntarily excited, his breathing became short, a flush appeared on his face, and his hands were quietly clenched into fists.
Because of the words of the red dragon, it touched a past in the depths of his memory that he did not want to recall.
It was a painful past, that pain can never be erased, it was the hatred of extermination, and it was also the hatred that changed his life. So Ma Linlong was silent and distracted, not in a hurry to answer the boy's question, but remembered his past.
When Ma Linlong was a teenager, he lived on the Longba Plain in the northwest of the Wu Nationality Kingdom, and as long as he walked for half a day and crossed a mountain range called Qiyun Mountain, he could step into the border of the Duanzheng Dynasty.
When he was a child, he knew that on the border of the Wu Nationality Country, there were often news of people from the Righteous Dynasty rushing into the Wu Nationality Country, robbing people and goods, but the government concealed these things and did not report them, not to mention that the inland people did not know, and even the people on the border line, those who had no personal experience, only heard from people and regarded this as a rumor.
But Ma Linlong knew that this was not a rumor, it was true, because he was the victim after experiencing the plundering behavior of the people of the Correct Dynasty.
