Volume 2 Jade Void Lotus Chapter 16 Nomadic Tribes
I've been nesting in it for two whole days, and my hands and feet have turned black, and if I don't untie them, I'm afraid I'll die, and I can't even stand up at this time.
But their biggest mistake was not tying Da Zhuang's mouth, he scolded: "Stinky girl, quickly untie Lao Tzu, otherwise I will ......"
The half-aged woman at the head was stunned for a moment, obviously she couldn't understand what Da Zhuang was saying, but she probably could guess that it wasn't a good word, so she waved her hand, "Bang!" "It's just two slaps, and they are firmly slapped on Da Zhuang's face.
I saw that the situation was not good, so I hurriedly said: "Da Zhuang, the hero does not suffer the immediate loss, and waits for the changes." β
Da Zhuang probably understood the taste at this time, he was tied up like a zongzi at the moment, and it was hard to move, and he didn't dare to shout casually at the moment, so he had to stare at people a few times before he gave up.
We were escorted into the camp by these women, and everyone here stared at us like monkeys, as if I had two noses on my face, and their eyes showed a frightened hostility.
This is a typical nomadic tribe, and in front of each tent hangs a pair of skulls of wild beasts, wild boars, wild yaks, wolves, and lions and tigers, which look a little scary.
This place is like a hodgepodge of humans and beasts, full of livestock, there are a few men next to him who are slaughtering a black bear, as soon as the butcher's knife falls, the black bear's moaning is heartbreaking, and after a few struggles, the lungs in the center of the abdomen are scattered to the ground, and the vultures and hyenas who have been waiting on the side rush up to fight, and there is a pungent fishy smell, which makes people sick.
When the bear-slaughtering savages saw us, they saluted the half-aged woman and then shouted at us with their butcher knives.
Da Zhuang scolded angrily: "You shameless dog men and women, untidy, shoulders and backs. β
Hua Bo and I have always been silent, anyway, we don't understand each other, in fact, their dress is not unusual, nomads are born on horseback, how to display wide robes and big sleeves, in order to improve the combat power of the cavalry, King Zhao Wuling of the Warring States Period let the soldiers wear Hufu to practice riding and shooting, the so-called Hufu is probably this kind of short clothes with narrow sleeves and long pants.
The only peculiarity was that these people had a cyan pattern tattooed on their exposed right shoulder, which was a little rough, and the man was tattooed with a blue-faced and fanged demon, which looked like a fire-eyed wolf; The woman is tattooed with a figure with six arms. The six-armed man, I suddenly felt very familiar, and soon remembered that it was a six-armed bodhisattva.
When I was very young, I saw this six-armed Bodhisattva statue in a ruined temple, and then I could often dream and dream, many times I was scared to wake up, at that time Ah Weng was still there, he told me that it was the six-armed Bodhisattva, also called the six-armed Dahetian, is the exorcism of the Dharma, a symbol of good luck, and told me a story, saying that there is a group of people who believe in the six-armed Dahetian, they were born on the edge of the four seas and Kyushu, with immortals as companions, and can drive all birds and beasts, can predict the future, the magic is strong, but that is just a legend, can it be said that these people areβ¦β¦
"Dingdingding......"
A clear bell sound interrupted my thoughts, looked up, in front of me is a gold-domed tent, the sound is from the top of the hanging golden bell from the golden bell, the golden bell is more than one person high, from the ground is full of ten zhang, this gold-domed tent has more than 20 zhang square, the whole body of the golden light flashes, embroidered with some incomprehensible symbols, surrounded by guards, the momentum is magnificent, not lost to the palace at all.
Suddenly, the curtain of the golden-roofed tent was raised, and out of it came a large leopard, which was so large that it was not lost to the lion and tiger, with a slender and vigorous body, and was adorned with gold and silver ornaments, which looked extremely majestic.
Everyone bowed down like this leopard, the leopard jumped a few feet, fell in front of us, as long as it opened its mouth, we had to die, suffering from being tied up, we could only resign ourselves to fate!
My palms were full of sweat, and Hua Bo was indeed very good, and he straightened his body upright, and the leopard sniffed at him for a long time, as if looking for something, and then it was me and Da Zhuang, and I heard Da Zhuang's heartbeat, and the leopard did not want to eat us after sniffing, but turned around and went back to the tent.
Da Zhuang exhaled a long breath, "It's okay, it's okay, let's not have an appetite with it." β
The half-old woman also breathed a sigh of relief, she seemed to have lost interest in us, and just said a few words to the entourage around her, and the women answered, and pushed us down the mountain, I don't know what they want to do, Da Zhuang asked several times, but unfortunately the words did not make sense.
Passing through the camp, at the foot of the mountain is an endless grassland, herds of cattle and horses, but not only that, in addition to cattle and horses but also wild asses, antelopes, bears, and tigers and leopards, countless wild beasts, suddenly in the middle of them a white shadow rushed out, is closely chasing a wild donkey, that is actually a snow leopard, fortunately its target is a wild donkey, and did not rush to us, its vigorous body swept over the place, startled a group of big white birds, wings spread like an eagle straight up to the sky, suddenly, the clouds dispersed, A huge snow-capped mountain appeared in front of him.
The snow-capped mountain was so large that it completely occupied my view, and compared to the snow-capped mountain I had climbed before, it was hardly worth mentioning, and several streams poured down from this huge snow-capped peak, and merged into a river halfway up the mountain to pass through the meadows. Although this is not a paradise, it has to be considered a fairyland on earth.
Thinking wildly in my heart, I don't know how long we walked, we entered a flat meadow at the foot of the mountain, where the water and grass are abundant, but for some reason there is no trace of cattle and sheep, wild donkeys and birds are all scattered, but unconsciously the ground is full of colorful wildflowers, I have never seen such a beautiful wildflower, the petals are extremely beautiful, the smallest is the size of a palm, the sea of flowers reflects the meadow and the snow-capped mountain, I am afraid that the legendary Yao Chi in the Nine Heavens, that is.
Da Zhuang exclaimed: "What kind of flower is this? So beautiful! It's so beautiful! β
I nodded, took a deep breath and said, "It seems that there is a very light and special fragrance!" β
Hua Bo also leaned down, looked carefully, sniffed again, and said, "I have never seen this kind of flower, this flower fragrance is quite special." β
That's when I realized something was missing, "Alas! What about the women? β
Da Zhuang and Hua Bo also reacted, and the women who pushed us here just now disappeared at some point.
Da Zhuang scolded: "This group of stinky girls, they are playing tricks with the master again, and they have the ability to have a one-on-one ...... with me."
No matter how we look for them, those women are indeed nowhere to be found. It is said that this grassland is very large, and there is nowhere to hide, which means that they should have been walking for a while, but Da Zhuang and I are also considered practitioners, although we dare not say that our ears and eyes are extremely smart, but how can we not be so careless, and we don't even know when they left, but this is undoubtedly a good thing.
Hua Bo broke the rope and said, "Leave them alone, let's untie the rope on our bodies first, it is estimated that someone deliberately let us go." β
Da Zhuang and I responded, tearing each other back to back, and it took a lot of effort to untie the rope from our bodies.
I was tied for two days, and my arms and back were strangled with blood, and the flesh and rope were stuck together, and when I pulled it, it was a large piece of skin and flesh, and it was hot and painful. But even so, I felt much better when I loosened the tie, and I quickly moved my muscles and bones.
Da Zhuang surprisingly did not scold, but picked a snow-white flower, smelled it, and said with a smile: "The wildflowers here are not only beautiful, but also very fragrant, a bit like the trumpet flowers in our hometown, but they are much better than the trumpet flowers." Hey! β
As he spoke, he put the flower on his head again, posed as a woman, and said, "How is it?" Am I good-looking? Is it beautiful or not? β
I shook my head helplessly, "I've been hungry for two days, and I don't have food in my stomach, otherwise I have to vomit clean, and you don't show up." β
Hua Bo also said that don't mess around, it's best to treat the wounds on your body first to avoid infection. He led us to the river that flowed down from the snowy mountains and washed our wounds with the water. The river water was so cold that my upper and lower teeth froze, but after washing, instead of being cold, I felt much warmer, and the wounds on my body were no longer painful.
I was a little thirsty, and although the water was crystal clear, this place was so strange that for safety, I asked Hua Bo if I could drink the water.
Hua Bo nodded and said that this kind of water is the water formed by the melting of the glacier on the snow mountain, the ancestors of the ancients called it Tianshui, which is not only clean and clear, but also has a miraculous effect, washing the wounds on the body can speed up the healing, washing the eyes can brighten the eyes, drinking it can be refreshing, preventing all diseases, and there is no harm in it.
Hearing him say this, I was relieved, and I was busy lying on the river, and Da Zhuang was even more greedy, braving the cold and jumping into the river, simply taking a bath, and tossing for a long time before he came up satisfied.
This place is actually not safe, after all, it is still under the control of that nomadic tribe, and they have a huge power, if they change their minds and kill a few fiery eye wolves, it will be troublesome.
When I think of that giant beast, I feel numb and crispy all over my body, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.
But he didn't take a few steps before he saw Da Zhuang pointing ahead and shouting, "Xia Ti! There's a girl over there, it seems to be Xia Ti! β
I hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, there was a girl standing thirty or forty feet away from us, she walked forward with her back to us, her steps were a little staggering, her back was indeed a little similar to Xia Ti, but her outfit was very different, she looked like a girl in this nomadic tribe, but she was covered with a gold embroidered shawl on her upper body, and the breeches on her lower body were much more elegant, which was much more elegant than those tribesmen with bare shoulders, but because she was far away, and her back was facing us, her appearance was naturally not clear.
