Chapter 128: Chiyou's Descendants
"Can you understand her?" Zuo Dengfeng was embarrassed when he heard this. The previous three-character scriptures, the Analects, and the pastoral oaths were all shouted in vain.
"Yes, she speaks a lot like the local language of our hometown." Jade Whisk nodded and said.
"Tell them we have no ill intentions. The fire was set to burn those monsters outside. Zuo Dengfeng said. The Hunan region where Yufu lived was the Yongguo region in ancient times, and the Yongguo and Lu countries were bordering each other in those years, and it is possible that the local language spoken is similar, and the language is passed on orally, and it is not easy to change shape for thousands of years.
Hearing this, Yufu nodded at Zuo Dengfeng, and turned to speak quickly at the woman, the woman suddenly looked happy when she saw that Yufu understood their language, and quickly talked with one of the questions and answers, and Zuo Dengfeng couldn't understand a word of what he said, he could only judge according to the expressions of the two that Yufu had always been the one who asked questions, and the other party had been answering passively. Jade Whisk's tone was not very kind, and the scene she had seen earlier made her very disdainful of this woman.
"Can you pay attention to the tone, how do you act like a prisoner?" In the later period, Zuo Dengfeng couldn't stand it anymore, so he interjected.
"Why don't you ask?" Hearing this, Yufu turned his head and glanced sideways at Zuo Dengfeng.
Zuo Dengfeng could only shut up when he saw this, and after being choked, Zuo Dengfeng understood a truth, and he still intervened less when he entrusted others to do things.
The interrogation conversation lasted for more than an hour, and both sides had been standing in and out of the door respectively, for more than an hour, Yu Fu didn't know what Yu Fu said to the other party, and he didn't know what the other party answered, but he judged that she had a high IQ and was very smart according to the woman's expression, and her tone of voice had been very calm, no matter how bad Yu Fu's attitude was, she didn't mind. On the other hand, the man standing in the door on the right, the expression on his face has been changing, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes confused, sometimes frightened, Zuo Dengfeng judged from this, this person is relatively simple, and his scheming is not heavy.
In the end, Zuo Dengfeng simply didn't listen, and sat down a few meters back from a bluestone stone bar to tease Thirteen, he had two intentions for this move, sitting down was to take the opportunity to rest, and teasing the cat could relieve the other party's psychological pressure, but Thirteen was very lazy and didn't listen to teasing.
After a long time, Yufu finally finished asking, turned around and walked to the stone bar beside Zuo Dengfeng and sat down.
Zuo Dengfeng saw her coming back, took out the kettle and handed it to her.
"You're so careful, you're like a woman." Jade Fu looked at the kettle and said.
Zuo Dengfeng smiled when he heard this, he didn't answer, he wasn't sure if Yufu's words were aimed at him handing her water to drink, or at him changing a kettle that he hadn't touched.
"They are indeed sisters and brothers, the only two descendants of the Lu Kingdom that are still alive today, everyone else is dead, and the giants have all become the kind of monsters outside." After drinking the water, Yufu handed the kettle to Zuo Dengfeng.
"What does she know?" Zuo Dengfeng looked at the two people inside the door, they were still standing by the door.
"She's smart, she knows everything, and she knows the history before her. Most of your analysis is correct, this is indeed the capital of the Lu State, they did help Jiang Ziya to go on the Eastern Expedition, the Zhou Dynasty established them as princes, received the reward and led the troops back to their hometown, and not long after returning to their hometown, they fought with the Yong State in the south because of the territorial boundary problem. Jade Fu said calmly.
"The two countries have been adjacent to each other for a day or two, so why did there suddenly become a border dispute?" Zuo Dengfeng asked.
"She didn't know. I feel that it may be that King Wu of Zhou deliberately did not clarify the specific boundaries when he divided the territory, so as to incite and induce the two countries to start a war. Jade Whisk said.
"Go on." Zuo Dengfeng nodded and spoke.
"In the war, Lu Guo took the lead and sent a large number of giants to the south to conquer all the cities of Yongguo in one go, but they made a fatal mistake, that is, they did not die by fighting snakes, and the princess of Yongguo and a small number of poison masters escaped. So soon they were frantically retaliated by Yongguo, those who used poison masters were good at poisoning, and the poisoning of a city and a city slaughtered the city, which could not be prevented, and the people were panicked, and the king here had no choice but to turn to Jiang Ziya, who came to set up this guard formation for this capital. Jade Whisk spoke.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded again when he heard this, these were all expected by him before.
"Jiang Ziya is scheming, although he has laid down a life-saving formation for them, but it also restricts their freedom, the reason he said is high-sounding, Yongguo is also the people of Zhou Tianzi, and the Zhou Dynasty has to protect the remaining people of Yongguo while protecting Lu, and they can't favor one over the other. In order to prevent the Lu people here from invading the south again, Jiang Ziya only left five array talismans, which means that only five people can go out at a time. Jade Fu shook her head and sneered.
"People grow old." Zuo Dengfeng suddenly realized that there were only five formation talismans in and out of the formation, and those five array talismans had all been taken out by the giant. Without the Formation Talisman, the people here will have to be trapped here forever.
"The giants here are low-status slaves, the northwest and southwest areas of the city used to be where slaves lived, and here and the northeast area are where humans live, and the humans here control the giants by relying on this Kui Dragon Drum, this Kui Dragon Drum is the legacy of the Yellow Emperor, and those giants are the clansmen of the Jiuli tribe to which Chi You belonged." Yufu stretched out his hand and pointed to the huge copper drum on the right, Kui Niu and Kui Long are the same thing, but they are called differently.
Zuo Dengfeng suddenly became enlightened when he heard this, Chi You is the leader of the Jiuli tribe, and the area where the Jiuli tribe breeds is in today's Hubei generation, as the saying goes, the winner is the prince and the loser Kou, the biggest possibility is that the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You back then, and then sent the clansmen of his own tribe to Hubei to rule the Jiuli people here. That is to say, the human beings here are the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and the giants are the descendants of Chiyou, this statement is not a random guess by Yufu, because according to historical records, Chiyou's height is more than two zhang, before the Shang Dynasty, one foot is only about seventeen centimeters, one meter is more than fifty centimeters, and one zhang is three meters three, so calculated, Chiyou's height should be about three meters two, consistent with the height of the giant. In addition, Chiyou's most commonly used weapon is the Giant Axe, which is also consistent with the weapons used by giants.
"The range of three hundred miles seems to be very large, but it can't withstand the large number of people, and it will be reproduced from generation to generation, and the food and land will soon be insufficient, at this time, the human beings must protect themselves first, reduce the food of the giants, and prohibit them from giving birth, so that the contradiction intensifies, and it has led to a rebellion for a long time, although the rebellion was suppressed in the end, but the formation talisman was still snatched away, and the five giants escaped with the array talisman, and the people here will never be able to get out. After the rebellion was quelled, the principals here made a decision to release the giants out of the city, on the condition that they could not enter the flat fields south of the city. What happened then was as you might expect, inbreeding led to the mutation of giants and the demise of humanity. Jade Fu nodded and said.
"Those monsters are all males, where are the females?" Zuo Dengfeng nodded and asked.
"It's all underground. Food is limited here, once the monster is an adult, it will eat for a month and sleep for a month, male and female alternate, and only come out together in the spring every year, but the time is also very short, only a few days. Jade Fu replied, she had been talking to the woman for more than an hour, and she had asked almost all the questions.
"We brought a formation talisman, why can we only enter but not exit?" Zuo Dengfeng asked again.
I asked, and she replied that it would take seven days before she could use it again. Yufu said casually, the two sisters and brothers couldn't understand their words, so the two had no scruples about talking.
"Where's the Golden Rooster?" Zuo Dengfeng asked the question he was most concerned about.
"I also asked this question, and she said she didn't know, and she had never seen strange birds." Yufu looked puzzled.
"What's going on with the Golden Tower?" Zuo Dengfeng asked again.
"She didn't know, she knew that she had seen it from the books of the clan, and there was no record of the Golden Pagoda in those books." Jade Fu shook her head and said.
"She can read?" Zuo Dengfeng frowned when he heard this.
"Yes, she's very smart, some of my earlier questions are very sharp, she is not angry, she answers very decently, and she answers quickly, as if she didn't have time to think." Jade Whisk glanced up at the woman inside the door.
"Tell them that I brought in all five array talismans when I entered the formation, and as long as they help us find the golden rooster, we will take them out." Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a moment and spoke. Zuo Dengfeng's favorite is smart people, and the most feared is also smart people, since this woman is extremely smart, she must have guessed that they used the formation talisman to enter the formation, Zuo Dengfeng was worried that they would take the formation talisman with a crooked heart, this is their territory, and it is impossible to prevent it, so simply tell them the truth, no need to rob it, the formation talisman is enough.
Yufu frowned and thought about it, and then turned to speak to the two sisters and brothers, and the two suddenly showed happy expressions when they heard this, the man couldn't help but say something, and the woman quickly took over the conversation and said a long sentence.
"She said she really didn't know where the golden rooster was, but she was willing to help us find it together, and she could give us something to eat." Jade Whisk gives a translation.
"What did the man say before that?" Zuo Dengfeng asked calmly.
"He said, 'What should I do?' I have a feeling they probably know something. Yufu translated and analyzed.
Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a moment when he heard this, then took out two array talismans from the wooden box, and shook them at the two sisters and brothers in the door together with the one in his arms and the one in the jade whisk, he wanted to tell the two that the array talisman was indeed redundant.
The woman immediately nodded and smiled when she saw the array talisman, her expression was very happy, and she turned to her finger and said something quickly.
Hearing this, Yufu suddenly frowned, looking stunned, and did not translate immediately.
"What did she say?" Zuo Dengfeng turned his head and asked.
"She said that the tower was the ...... of the golden rooster"
