Chapter Eighty-One: The Horse

Suddenly, when I saw the old cat, I was a little surprised, and even a little skeptical, whether the person in front of us was a "real" old cat? This little brother is really a divine dragon who can't see the head and the tail, and he will disappear immediately if he can't see it, and he will appear in front of him immediately when he says he appears.

The old cat kept waving at us, motioning for a few of us to hurry up and follow him.

The bald head was still a little excited to see the old cat, and asked the old cat excitedly, where has he been during this time? Why did it disappear all of a sudden?

The old cat didn't have the time to answer the bald question now, but just asked a few of us to hurry up and follow him, otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before we died.

As I swam forward, I asked Lin Xihui if the monster we saw underwater just now was the "horse" that the old cat said?

Lin Xihui thought for a moment before nodding slightly at me, and then briefly introduced me.

The appearance of the horse is similar to that of a monster in the traditional sense. Because the original word "monster" was used to describe "horses". Legend has it that there was a tribe in the southwest called "Di Wu", also known as "Di Gu", which was a Gu poison tribe, this tribe lived in the swampy area deep in the forests of Yunnan, almost no contact with other people, and lived in its own world.

The elders in the tribe, down to the children, are all proficient in witchcraft, through refining Gu poison, the life span of the people in the tribe is surprisingly long, and the average lifespan of the elders is more than a few hundred years. When the ancient Dian Kingdom was established, the King of Dian once sought to recover and rectify other ancient tribes in the southwest to achieve the goal of strengthening his power.

The Di Gu tribe was very famous in the southwest at that time, and it was one of the earliest branches of Gu art. But no one dares to provoke these people who hide in the forest all day long and are proficient in Gu arts, of course, the King of Dian has also heard of Di Gu, so he originally wanted to send someone to "persuade him to return", but the King of Dian sent three people back and forth to persuade him to return, and the three people without exception were all killed by the Di Gu tribe and ate meat, and the Di Gu tribe hung the leftover bones outside the tribe to warn other people who wanted to enter the tribe.

This kind of behavior of not giving face to the leader, and also going to shoot the leader's feet with a stone, of course, caused the king of Dian to be very angry, and the king of Dian sent heavy troops to Di Gu, wanting to kill the Di Gu tribe with a hundred bloods, and to warn other tribes. But the place where the Di Gu people lived, originally lived in the forest, there were many fierce beasts and poisonous insects along the way, and there were many natural barriers, the army of the King of Dian finally reached the Di Gu tribe, but what I didn't expect was that the Di Gu tribe, who had been waiting for work for a long time, was caught off guard with Gu poison, and the Di Gu people at that time raised hundreds of horses, in the fierce battle, the Di Gu people released the horses, and the horses moved much faster on the road than underwater, intercepting and killing the soldiers of the ancient Dian Kingdom all the way, compared to people, the size of the horses is not small, Therefore, it caused great lethality, and the ancient Dian Kingdom that was killed lost its armor and fled into the wilderness.

The soldiers of the ancient Dian Kingdom have never seen such a thing as a horse, and the soldiers who returned alive have called the horse a "monster", and there is a record of the horse in the "Dian Zhaolu", "to be regarded as a strange movement, to see the lack of body and to go to the road, the land of the line and fast, see the people hungry and serve it, and raise the staff as a monster." ”

"What happened to the Di Gu tribe?" I asked curiously Lin Xihui, I almost forgot that there is this kind of monster under us that intercepts and kills the army. I was also wondering why these things were here.

Lin Xihui made a helpless expression, indicating that she didn't know what happened to the Di Gu tribe, but she still said that now in the official history books, there is no longer the tribe of "Di Gu", probably because the King of Dian suffered a loss in Di Gu back then, so he erased this tribe from the history books, if the legend is true, the army of the King of Dian was beaten by a small tribe and lost its armor, such a shameful thing, in exchange for no one is willing to let future generations know. Some people also say that Di Gu is actually the tribe of Chi You back then, that is, the so-called "Jiuyi Clan", after Chi You defeated the Yellow Emperor, Di Gu hid in the deep forest. These stories are only in the local legends, and they have been passed down all the time.

"Woman, I'll ask one more question. You just said that this horse's hometown is in Yun'an, and the area is larger than the southwest region, and they feel that they have come all the way to the north to travel, and they feel that this place has good feng shui, so they live here directly? Stay in the sand when there is no water, and live in the water when the water comes out? It's still a fucking amphibious activity, it's almost heavenly. The bald head said in a playful tone.

Originally, swimming was extremely physically demanding, and after the fight with the horse just now, Lin Xihui, who had good physical strength before, was already tired and out of breath, and was always breathing for air. So I told the bald head not to worry too much, after all, we are not out of danger now, and the important thing now is to be vigilant against the horses coming again, and if there is any problem, wait until you get out of here to ask. Speaking of which, I myself am a little helpless, we can't see the overall situation under the water at all, for the underwater things, we can only see a rough idea, if the horses attack again, we can't prevent it at all. Now we can only rely on the old cat, who can get us out of here as soon as possible

Although Lin Xihui didn't speak, the bald head began to talk to himself, saying that although he hadn't seen the horse, he had also come into contact with a lot of people who knew Gu arts. Just last summer, the bald head went to a Miao village to 'shop', and he saw a snake with two legs! The snake's legs are like chicken paws, one black and one white. Later, he heard from the person who received the goods inside that he said that it was called 'Lingyu', which was refined by Gu magic, and several different kinds of snakes were placed in a Gu jar, and after the refining was completed, that kind of strange snake was formed. I estimate that the process of refining the horse may not be so complicated, put several poisons together, and then use the Gu technique to refine it, and after it is formed, it may be a horse. Therefore, as long as you can understand the skills of Gu art, no matter where you are, you can refine the horses.

"** knows everything, and asks a fart." I couldn't help but curse.

The bald head sneered, saying that it was to relieve the tense atmosphere now.

Lin Xihui nodded at the bald head's words, meaning that what the bald head said made sense. Because Lin Xihui had never heard of anyone seeing a real horse before, the horse was a special "animal" in the end.

A few of us quickly caught up with the old cat, he was still the same expressionless as before, but I found that his shoulders and arms had different scars, and it looked like the old cat had experienced a vicious fight before. But why don't we hear anything?

Just as we were cautiously swimming forward, not far behind us, there was a loud sound of lapping on the water!
