344: Stilted House in the Dark

The mountains are crisscrossed, and the people of the barren tribe have built houses and lived on the mountains for generations, forming villages.

The village is divided by surname, but no matter what kind of surname, it is called the barren tribe by people in other regions of Jiuli.

According to legend, there is also an allusion to this, when the Jiuli Dynasty had not yet ruled Kyushu and suppressed the Eight Famines, there was a former dynasty called the Yellow Dynasty.

The Huang Dynasty originally ruled Huangzhou and the bordering Liangzhou, and the rulers of the Huang Dynasty called themselves Huangshang.

This Huang Shang's daughter fell seriously ill one day, and the imperial doctors in the court could not cure her. Huang Shang ordered someone to post a list on the street.

The text of the list wrote that whoever cures the princess's disease will be recruited to be the son-in-law of Chenglong.

There are many people who unveil the list, but none of them can cure the disease.

The princess's illness is getting worse day by day, and Huang Shang is also very worried.

But on this day, a yellow dog brought a herb into the court and handed the herb to Huang Shang, saying that it was for the princess to eat, and the illness would be cured.

Huang Shang naturally looked down on a dog at that time, how could a person deal with a dog? He threw the herbs away.

However, the princess's illness could not be delayed, and the yellow dog saw that he was looked down upon, but he was not angry, but patiently admonished.

Huang Shang saw that his beloved daughter's condition was getting worse, and the dead horse was a live horse doctor, so he also sent someone to decoction with this grass and gave it to his eldest daughter to drink.

Unexpectedly, the princess's illness really got better day by day.

However, how can a dog be his son-in-law?

But Huang Shang's golden mouth has been opened, and everyone in the world knows about it, but he can't regret it, so he had to marry his beloved daughter to this yellow dog, and recruited the yellow dog to be a fast son-in-law of Chenglong.

Huang Shang really married his daughter to a dog, which let the world know, and the world laughed at it, but he also admired Huang Shang's words.

However, how many people know that Huang Shang has already arranged for Huang Shang to secretly kill the yellow dog, creating the illusion that he unfortunately fell from the mountain and died, and deceived the world.

In this way, the princess does not have to marry a dog, and his reputation in the last life of Huang will not be ruined.

As the world suspects, Huang Shangte delayed for a while, and only created a trap half a month later, causing the yellow dog to fall to his death while hunting and climbing the mountain with him.

As soon as the yellow dog died, the princess was very sad, and Huang Shang realized that the princess had already married the yellow dog in private, was pregnant, and the child in the womb had been magically born and was hidden by the princess.

Huang Shang was shocked, and then he realized that the princess knew that he had killed the yellow dog, but she didn't blame him, she just hoped that he could let the child go.

Huang Shang heard his beloved daughter say so affectionately, and he fulfilled his beloved daughter's request with a soft heart, and gave the child the name "Barren Mountain", not with his Huang surname, but with the homonym, because the yellow dog died on the cliff and stumbled, and the child was named the mountain.

In this way, the dog man became the first generation of ancestors of the barren tribe, grew up in the mountains since childhood, and later destroyed the Yellow Dynasty in order to avenge his father, ruled the entire barren state, and there was a barren tribe, and there were not a few barren villages in the mountains of this barren state.

At this time, the goose feathers and snow were slowly flying, and Zhai couldn't 'figure was illusory, but he had already cast the Devouring Demon Body in the state of Shadow Demon, and the essence and blood of his whole body had shrunk into a fist-sized core, and his breath was even weaker.

He is like a ghost, crossing mountains and mountains, in this state of transformation, it is not like flying, but it is more agile than flying, like water penetrating everywhere, like light walking on the ground.

Soon it was outside the Miaohe cottage.

But I saw that the cottage was surrounded by a thick ironwood fence into a high wooden wall, which surrounded the whole cottage, and there were torches flickering slightly on the two tall watchtowers, and there were people from the cottage keeping vigil.

This kind of cottage built in the wilderness, there are hunters or militia trained by themselves, forming a small system of their own, although each cottage has to be loyal to the Jiuli Dynasty, but it is also like a small sect, there is a certain self-guarding force.

Similar to this Miao He cottage, Zhai couldn't feel a few strong breaths, although they were not in the dragon, but they were all strong people in the barbarian realm martial arts.

Such a village may not be very strong, but in this wilderness, it is still enough to ensure the safety of the villagers and not be invaded and eaten by some powerful beasts.

This world is rich in energy, and the environment is even more special, making the physique of ordinary people extraordinary, let alone beasts.

Some wolves, tigers, bears and other beasts are not much worse than the top brute powerhouses, and if there are mutated varieties that give birth to spirituality, they are even more known as demon beasts, which are even more powerful and terrifying.

However, demon beasts are rare, Zhai can't wander in the mountains these days, he has met a wild boar that is one person high, and he has met a roe deer that is half a person high, but he just hasn't seen any demon beasts.

Zhai couldn't turn into a shadow and swept into the interior of Miao He Cottage, no matter how powerful the villagers on the lookout tower were, it was difficult to pay attention to him who had turned into a shadow and melted into the darkness.

He swept straight towards the west foot area inside Miao He's cottage.

On the hillside of the west foot, there is a stilted building built next to the cliff, which is very remote and inconspicuous, seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and there are also a piece of fields around this building.

However, no crops were planted in the field, and it was covered with a layer of burnt grass ash, and under the burnt grass ash were buried some arrays and utensils for arranging formations.

With Zhai's eyesight in formations, although all he has learned are some formation cheats that are no more than B-level, he can also see some clues about the formations arranged here.

And in addition to the formation here, today's control of the merchant to come to this Miaohe cottage can be regarded as hearing some news.

I learned that no one lived in this stilted building for a long time, but some time ago a noble person lived in a simple house, and the owner of Miaohe Cottage was also quite respectful to him, and no one was allowed to disturb and reveal the news of this person.

If the merchant can find out the news today, he still deliberately approached the stilted building area under Zhai's uncontrollable control, until he was blocked by the cottagers, and finally found out that something was wrong.

It turned out that the merchants had known for a long time that this deserted stilted building was uninhabited and had not been near this area for a long time.

If it weren't for Zhai's inability to keep an eye on the fact that the merchant had bypassed this place and didn't go, he deliberately instructed the other party to test it, I'm afraid he would have missed this place.

At this time, in the snow, Zhai couldn't slowly approach this stilted building that looked dark and cold, and had no popularity.

The other houses in the cottage are more or less firelight, and even if the fire is extinguished, there are still some fires and sparks flickering, warming up on this snowy and cold night.

Only there is no light in this building, it is pitch black, and it looks like a ghost building standing next to the cliff in the dark night, which looks very terrifying.

Zhai couldn't walk around, measured the topography of this place, analyzed that this place was a place of extreme gloom, and quietly cracked the shielding warning formation arranged here, and his figure flashed into the stilted building.

Before he could enter the room, Zhai couldn't shrink his eyes......
