Chapter 571: The Guardian Clan
"Master, you're exaggerating, aren't you?"
Listening to the story told by the driver, I couldn't help but laugh.
"What do you mean?" The driver wondered.
"It's very simple, according to what you said, that tree has to appear for an hour every year, and in this hour, it is no different from an ordinary tree, so for so many years, every hour every year, everyone should have cut down that tree a long time ago, where will it remain until now?" I said with a smile.
"That's because you don't understand the situation, you must know that it is a thousand-year-old divine tree, the trunk is about ten meters thick, hundreds of meters high, the canopy is stretched out, covering most of the valley, how can it be cut down in an hour? Not to mention that it was cut down, even if you touched the trunk in the past, it was also very difficult. The driver said mysteriously.
"If that's the case, then why do so many people still come to this sacred tree every year? Just to see? "I feel like the story is getting more and more interesting.
"The world is all for profit, the world is turbulent for profit, there is no profit, who will run to this place? Let me tell you the truth, the reason why those people came here was for the fruit of the sacred tree and some branches that were accidentally broken. You know, that's a yellow rosewood, any branch has a history of hundreds of years, pick up is real money, and the fruit, it is even more rare, I heard that it is an extremely precious medicinal material, people can get rid of all kinds of diseases after eating, and the fruit is the size of a walnut, even if it is not medicine, it is also excellent to make a plaything in your hand, and prolong life, to put it bluntly, this tree is full of treasures, as long as you can pick up something, you will make a fortune. The driver explained excitedly.
"Is there such a good thing? Isn't everyone flocking to pick it up? I wondered.
"It's so easy, if you're not afraid of death, just come, do you think the Guardian clan is a vegetarian?" The driver said disdainfully.
"The Wood Guards? So what? "I was intrigued again.
"It's the tribe that lives near the valley, they have been guarding the sacred tree for generations, and they don't allow outsiders to approach it easily, and if they find someone trying to get close to the sacred tree, they will kill them. They are Miao, proficient in raising Gu, and even have corpse keepers, but they are powerful, it is not so easy to deal with, and the Zhengfu can't control them, outsiders go in, and if they die, they will die, and all of them have become fertilizer for the sacred tree, and no one cares about it at all. I say this, you know how dangerous this thing is, right? Therefore I advise you not to go to that place, lest you leave your good life there. The driver looked at me and reminded me with a serious face.
I nodded, and then said, "This is a very interesting thing, but I really didn't come for the Divine Tree, so you don't have to worry about me." β
"It's not for the Sacred Tree, so what are you doing here? You're an out-of-townβ" The driver hesitated.
"I'm looking for someone, I have a friend who got lost in the mountains near the dog's brain, and I'm looking for it. Master, are you familiar with the situation over there? I asked.
Hearing this, the driver couldn't help frowning, and said to me after a long time: "It's not peaceful over there, it belongs to the sphere of influence of the Wood Protector clan, I grew up here so big, I haven't been there." Since your friend has gone missing over there, most of it is for the sake of the sacred tree, and it is very likely that he has been killed, so I advise you not to go. β
"Thank you for the kind reminder, but I'm still going to look for it, I can't let my friend die in vain." I looked at the driver and said.
"In this way, you are a very affectionate person, seeing that you are so affectionate, I will send you another message." The driver said this, muttered for a moment, and then said to me: "In that big mountain, there are not only the Guardian Clan, but also other tribes, such as Heiquan Mountain Black Miao Village, Dawu Mountain White Miao Village, although these villages are very xenophobic, but it is not that outsiders are not allowed to enter, if you can enter their village, and find a guide, maybe you can find out the whereabouts of your friend, because those tribes and the Guardian Clan have contact, to put it bluntly, the so-called Guardian Clan, In fact, it is composed of these elite members of the village, and you can ask them to help you inquire about the news. β
"I see, thank you so much, I'll do what you say when I go back." After getting this information, I was relieved and had already thought of a way to find He Wei.
When it was dark, the driver dropped me off in Dogshead.
I originally wanted to ask the driver to be my guide and take me to Miao Village, but he refused me, saying that the water in Miao Village was too deep, and he would lose his life if he didn't agree with him, and he didn't want to joke with his life, so in the end he still collected the remaining 300 yuan, turned around and drove away.
After the driver left, I looked around and saw that it was a very desolate town, more of a village than a town.
The whole town is only a few dozen houses, and a dirt road runs through the center, connecting to the outside and extending into the dense forest in the distance.
Because the time is relatively late, there are basically no people on the road, and there is basically no light on both sides, only on one side there is a three-storey bamboo building with lights on, and there are faint human voices inside, which seems to be an inn.
I walked over to the inn, ready to have some dinner, and to inquire about it, if I could, it would be better to have a guide.
When I got closer, I found that it was indeed an inn, and next to it was a small restaurant, and it was dinner time, and many people in the restaurant were eating.
When I walked into the restaurant, I took a look and found that most of the people who ate were outsiders, but the owner of the restaurant was a local, and he was a Miao person, wearing Miao clothes and a wrapped head around his head.
I sat down at the table and immediately a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old came up to me and asked me what I wanted to eat in blunt Mandarin.
I asked her what to eat here, and she said that there was fried rice and noodles, and I was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Isn't there a special diet of the Miao people?" β
Hearing my words, the little girl's big eyes widened, and she looked me up and down with some curiosity, making sure that I was not joking, and couldn't help but say to me: "Yes, there are blood soup, chili bones, turtle and phoenix soup, cotton cabbage, pounded fish, and sour soup fish, which one do you want?" β
"That's so much, bring me a bowl of turtle and phoenix soup, just some rice for the main food." I had never eaten Miao food, and the reason why I did it was to please the little girl and see if I could get some news from her.
The situation in Miao Village is more complicated, even if I have high strength, I am not very afraid of some conspiracies, but I also have to guard against it, because I don't know if there are some old monster level masters hidden inside Miao Village, in case I take the liberty of making a move, recklessly, fall into the trap of those old monsters, but it will be a big trouble.
