Half an hour later, when the east was white, we left the small mountain village and trekked in the direction of Tiger Leaping Rock. Thanks to the guide of Coulee, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find the way, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to find the direction.

Gu Li is a very competent guide, before and after the saddle, he handed us water for a while, and gave us medicine against poisonous ants, snakes and insects for a while, and Huang Mao's 10,000 yuan in cash was worth it.

The mountains and deep streams, the reckless jungles, there are no people, but there are enough things to eat.

Locusts, poisonous bees, poisonous snakes, all kinds of strange insects, all kinds of things, even if we are cultivators, we have repeatedly almost been hit.

The jungle experience is the most abundant, leisurely walking, not to mention poisonous insects, not even dew, yellow hair is almost, wet trouser legs.

Cao Nan and I were the most embarrassed, I didn't go far and the dew wet half of my body, Cao Nan was burned by poisonous insects, the back of my hand was swollen like a bun, I was even more dangerous, I was almost bitten by a poisonous snake in the nose, if it wasn't for Gu Li taking care of us more, I'm afraid it would be even more embarrassing.

Not long after, the sun rose, indicating that today was a sunny day.

I was very concerned about the coulee, and the sun was falling, casting its shadow on the ground, almost indistinguishable from ours, only a little fainter.

After being busy, he was also soaked, smelling carefully, smelling sweat, and couldn't find anything that could be hooked with the paper figure.

I muttered to myself, what the hell is going on with this paper man?

If it is a ghost and evil possessed by the paper figure, it must be a yin thing, and it will be afraid of the living and the sun, but Gu Li has no performance in this regard at all. Drinking water, eating dry food, and Xiaojie also have no abnormalities, and if you scratch your hand from a thorn strip, you will also bleed.

"Brother Meng, is there something on me?" It seemed that my gaze made Gu Li suspicious, and he asked me a little strangely, his dark and thin face full of doubt.

"Ah, that...... No, I'm just a little curious about you Miao people. My heart jumped, and I hurriedly panicked.

"Hey, isn't that all the same, I am a mature Miao, and my ancestors are Miao Khan mixed blood, so I can't be considered an authentic Miao person." Gul smiled and waved his hand, revealing two rows of neat white teeth.

"What does the authentic Miao people look like?" I don't have anything to say.

"The authentic Miao people are very strong, they can walk barefoot in the jungle like flying, and they are also tall, so they are not like me." Gu Li touched the sweat on his forehead and smiled a little embarrassedly.

I nodded, the cow-nosed Naguzha is the seedling, and it is the most thunderous Gu seedling in the seedling, looking thin and thin, in fact, the tendon meat of the whole body, the skin is bronze, the face is slightly three-dimensional, the nose is larger, and the mouth is wider.

"Do you die sleeping at night, our movements yesterday were not small." I tried to test his secret.

Hu Lai naturally knew what I wanted to do, and Zhang Zhang wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end, and acquiesced.

Gu Li nodded: "Yes, I sleep very hard at night, especially in the second half of the night, no matter what I am doing, I can sleep, even if it is walking or cycling." ”

After speaking, he lifted his hair, pointed to a scar on his forehead and said, "Look at this scar, it is a lesson from falling asleep while riding a bicycle at night." ”

"Why is this happening?" I pressed on.

"I don't know." Gu Li shook his head and said, "Not only me, but the whole village is like this, my grandmother told me that the second half of the night is the time for the ancestors to dream, and the children and grandchildren must fall asleep, otherwise the ancestors will be unhappy." ”

"The whole village?"

My heart twitched, God, then that small mountain village is not only Guli is a paper man, but all the villagers are.

Paper Man Village!!

Not only me, but Hu Lai and Huang Mao were also scared silly, and Cao Nan looked like a ghost, wanting to ask but not daring to ask, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

"And how will your ancestors punish you if they are not happy?" Hu Lai immediately dug down following Gu Li's words.

Gu Li said very seriously: "The ancestors will take away all the unworthy descendants. ”

I gasped, this sentence was in line with Huang Mao's guess - all the people who discovered the truth in the paper man village would disappear.

Huang Mao said before that Gu Li was afraid that he didn't know that he was a paper man, and he couldn't wake him up, otherwise there would be trouble.

In a word!

Because all the paper figures who woke up were taken away by their "ancestors".

Gu Li said as he walked, and the four of us exchanged a look in the back, all shocked.

I don't understand what the hell is going on, but what's behind the scenes is absolutely scary, and the paper figures in a whole village are too unbelievable.

After that, we asked Gu Li a few more questions, but we didn't get any other valuable clues, and Gu Li didn't feel that there was anything wrong with "ancestors taking away unworthy descendants". He also "taught" us that our ancestors are living beings, and that our descendants should respect our ancestors, otherwise our ancestors will be angry and our descendants will be unlucky.

Helpless, we have to give up, the secret behind the paper figure is very deep, just dig it, if it is too deep, I am afraid that it will cause trouble.

……

At noon, in the scorching sun, I suddenly noticed something running behind me, obviously a hoofed animal, and the sound of messy footsteps slowly sounded behind me......

It's people!

And a group of people!

"Squat, someone's coming!" I said hurriedly.

Hu Lai Huangmao immediately squatted down, and Cao Nan squatted down the somewhat stunned Gulila.

"Is there a Miao village around here?" Hu Lai asked Gu Li.

Gu Li nodded hurriedly and said, "This is the territory of the Seventh Cave Youlan Miao Village, which is considered the periphery, and our way to Tiger Leaping Rock will pass through their hunting grounds." ”

"How many people are there in the entire Miao Village?"

I asked, and at this time the voice grew louder, and a wild boar limped down a hill, followed by a large group of Miao people, who wore only a small amount of clothing, armed with bows and arrows, spears and Miao knives, and walked forward and backward in the jungle like flying, chasing the wounded wild boar.

"I don't know very well, but I've heard that there are more than two hundred mouths, and they are about sixty or seventy." Gu Li whispered.

"Is there a Gu Master?" I asked again.

Gu Li nodded: "Yes, there are Gu masters in each of the thirteen cave Miao Village, and the strength of this Youlan Miao Village is medium, so there are also Gu masters." ”

"Stop talking, here!" Yellow hair warned.

We hurriedly ducked down, the Miao people don't like strangers to enter their hunting grounds, especially these hormonal bursts of hunting young and strong, so fierce and brave, once they find a target that can be challenged, it will become quite dangerous.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

The wild boar had passed diagonally in front of us, but it didn't know what kind of nerve it was, and it rushed straight at us.

"Woo-la-la-......"

Followed by a group of murderous Miao people.

My eyelids jumped, and thousands of alpacas rushed past me in my heart, Nima, the dead boar is not going anywhere, but it is coming to us, why don't you go to the sky?

"Flash!"

Huang Mao gritted his teeth and said.

We immediately ran away from the boar rushing at us, or we would have been hunted by the Hmong as prey.

But as soon as we moved, we naturally attracted the attention of the Miao people, and we didn't know what they were shouting, so we discarded the wild boar, and turned around and surrounded us in unison, and the speed was very fast.

In a few moments, we were all together.

The Miao people pointed their spears and bows and arrows at us, compressing us in the center.

Gu Li hurriedly raised his hand, explaining something in Miao language that we didn't understand, and said to us: "Don't mess around, they just interrogated us about what we were doing, and they didn't have murderous intent." ”

After a pause, a big man came out of the Miao people, he was wearing a tiger skin, with a nose ring on his nose, and he was more than one meter nine meters tall, staring at us condescendingly, with a cold light, neither a bow nor a spear in his hand, but two short knives,

The big man glanced at us, and said something to Gu Li.

Gu Li nodded hurriedly, and then said to us: "This is Tiehu, the patriarch of Youlan Miao Village, quickly greet him." ”

The four of us immediately gave a Miao salute to the big Han, which was taught to us by Gu Li on the road, saying that when encountering Miao people, we must not use strength, and respectful weakness is the best way to resolve their hostility.

The most powerful in Miao Village is often not the patriarch, but the wizard, the wizard has men and women, most of them are Gu masters, and there are gods among them, which are very powerful.

There is no doubt that the god man that Gu Li is talking about is a cultivator like Naguzha.

It's not the most critical, the most critical thing is that once the thirteen-hole Miao Village is attacked by foreign enemies, it will immediately unite with the outside world, and there will be big trouble at that time.

If a Miao village conflicts, we may be able to deal with it, but if the thirteen-hole Miao village is collectively dispatched, it is impossible for us to withstand it.

Sure enough, after we performed the Miao salute, the Miao people's sturdy spears and bows and arrows were pressed down a little, and the hostility eased slightly.

After that, Dahan talked to Gu Li a few more words, and Gu Li suddenly had a bitter face, and his tone accelerated, as if he was pleading.

"Roar!"

The big man said a few words and suddenly became impatient, roared lowly, and his eyes widened with anger.

In an instant, the bows and arrows and spears that had just been laid down were immediately raised again, aimed at the vital points of our bodies, and the sound of the bowstrings tightening "chirped".

The situation twisted and turned, and it changed so fast that my hanging heart jumped again before I could put it back. The murderous intent lingering on the bow and spear made me sweat and hair, this situation was not a joke, it was obviously on the verge of a misfire, and I hurriedly asked: "What's the situation?" ”

Gu Li cried and said: "They said that the Great Witch of Youlan Miao Village predicted three days ago that four outsiders from afar would appear here, and they were specially asked to hunt here every day, and they would bring them back when they met; If you can't bring it back, you ......" He shuddered for a moment, not daring to say the last word, it was obvious that it was a "kill" word.

I suddenly felt like hell in the day.

Wizard prophecy?

Is it really fake, there is such a god?

Could it be that this iron tiger is talking nonsense and making up excuses, right?

But when you think about it, he doesn't seem to have the need to make up excuses.

Hu Lai and Huang Mao were also shocked, predicting this kind of thing, they had heard of it, but they had never seen it, if what Tie Hu said was true, then this Youlan Miao Village's Zanggu Witch was too powerful.

You could count that we would pass through here, and there were four of us.

Then, Dahan said again.

Gul immediately said, "He asked us to go or not?" ”

The corners of Huang Mao's mouth twitched, and he said, "Do you think we still have a choice?" ”

I feel a little unhappy in my heart, but I have no choice but to do anything, Tiger Leaping Rock is in the core hinterland of the Thirteen Caves, and if I offend Miao Village in my activities, there will be big trouble.

"Go, it's good to meet this Great Witch of the Valley, I've heard his name." Hu Lai opened his mouth and said: "The thirteen-hole Miao Village is surrounded by the Tiger Leaping Cliff, if you say who knows the Tiger Leaping Cliff best in this world, Miao Village recognizes the second, no one dares to recognize the first, and the people in the Miao Village are the first to recommend the wizard; This is an opportunity. ”

I thought about it and nodded: "Okay, then go, promise him." ”

If Miao Zhai just invites us to be guests, then everything is easy to say, if there is hostility towards us, then we are also single, one word, dry!

Because there is no other choice.
