Chapter 23: The Bonfire
Lao Gu was stunned for a moment, his former righteousness was gone, he stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang Qi to the front, and then whispered shamelessly in the back: "Daqi, you know, I have a place in my heart, and it is not suitable for me to stay here as an uncle...... I thought that only Qin Zhen, the god, had such a 'supreme' treatment! I didn't expect us to have this treatment! Can I cancel this on my own initiative? “
Seeing Lao Gu's cowering appearance, Qin Zhen snorted as if he had let out a bad breath. The heart said, "If I suffer here, you will not be much better!" A grasshopper tied to a rope, no one can run away from anyone! Even if you don't have this treatment, I'll have to apply for it for you. Our buddies have the blessings to share, and we have to share the "color" difficulties. Do you think enough of the jokes is enough for me and that's the end of it?
It really suited Qin Zhen's intentions, don't look at Lao Gu pushed Jiang Qi to the front, but the indigenous "beauty" did not attack the wooden face, but was stunned and dragged out from behind by Lao Gu, and forcibly pressed on the stone where Qin Zhen was sitting just now, and wiped it up with a plate of green clay.
Such a result is probably due to himself, because he laughed the most from beginning to end, which made people mistakenly think that he was "envious" of this process. And the "beauties" are not stupid, just Jiang Qi's wooden face, people must not disdain to flirt with a piece of wood and secretly send autumn waves.
Previously, under Qin Zhen's deliberate stopping, except for the arms and neck, he only smeared a little symbolically on his face.
And now Lao Gu is different, his face has no green clay except for his eyes. Everything else was killed. I have to say that these indigenous beauties really "love" him, they are not stingy at all, they rub as much as they want, and they give it like a dark green plaster statue.
Jiang Qi and they have such a lesson from the past, naturally they will not let people smear it like that again, so they can wipe it on their bare skin and it will be over.
When this "coloring" ceremony was over, Qin Zhen covered his stomach and smiled: "Old Gu, you are now like a egg!" Hahaha......"
Seeing Qin Zhen laughing like that, Lao Gu drooped his face and glared at Qin Zhen with a resentful expression. Tashi and Tsering did not shy away from laughing. Seemingly. They knew very well that Qin Zhen's analogy was very appropriate.
As the previous aboriginal man walked to the bonfire, he saw a large group of people singing and dancing around the bonfire. Qin Zhen couldn't help but sigh that the happiness of these primitive mountain people was really simple. Probably because there is not so much desire/desire and greed, it seems easier to be happy.
But. In the case of Yudong's life and death. Qin Zhen is not in the mood to "enjoy with the people". His priority right now. It is to use his identity as a "god" to inquire about the news of the Lotus Secret Realm from these natives.
But those enthusiastic "beauties" don't seem to have any intention of letting them go. He has been graciously inviting Qin Zhen and them to join in the bonfire dance.
The indigenous man was even more generous, and stretched out his hand with his eyebrows fluttering, feeling as if he was telling Qin Zhen, you're welcome, you're welcome, the beauty is very ......
Qin Zhen waved his hand vigorously, and said in his heart that this kindness would be received by heart. Let's just say that it is a primitive mountain people, and it can't be too warm and simple! I've heard for a long time that men and women in this kind of place are very free, but they can't be so free......
This is not to say that Qin Zhen sees people as beautiful and ugly, but this primitive beauty is too primitive, and he is simply a person of two races...... He really hasn't reached that realm, and he can't be blessed. However, this peculiar "glamorous/encounter" made Qin Zhen involuntarily think of the Linglouqin beside Gu Niang in the Demon Monarch Mountain. That smiling face like a flower is the real peach blossom luck. It's a pity that I don't have that life in this life. Otherwise, how could you encounter these "dark green and dark green" rotten peach blossoms in this deep mountain and old forest.
Just as Qin Zhen was thinking nonsense, the indigenous man came over with a few branches, and there seemed to be something that had been roasted on them. To be honest, Qin Zhen was very skeptical that the things they baked would be edible. Because judging from the appearance alone, Qin Zhen couldn't even tell what they were baking!
Lao Gu doesn't have so much to do, this carnivore probably doesn't eat human flesh, and everyone else will not refuse. If he is really hungry, human flesh is estimated not to delay his criterion of "food for the sky".
However, from a responsible point of view, Qin Zhen still stopped Lao Gu's move to send it directly to his mouth, and politely asked the man: "What is this?" ”
The man said naturally, "Don't worry, this is a bird in the rainforest." ”
When Qin Zhen heard that it was a bird, he relaxed slightly. Because birds rarely have anything too disgusting.
As soon as Tashi saw that Qin Zhen felt that it was okay to eat, he took the food from the man's hand and shared it with everyone. It's no wonder that for a place like Motuo where a chicken costs hundreds of dollars, it might be a luxury to be able to eat roast birds.
Tashi ate with relish as he said, "You don't need to ask at all, as long as there are no taboos, just eat." When I asked, sometimes I couldn't eat it. These primitive mountain people, even if they are heavenly birds, they will not care. Eat as you go. ”
Lao Gu asked curiously: "What kind of bird is the Heavenly Bird?" Is it tasty? ”
"The heavenly bird is the divine bird, the kind of bird that eats the corpse at the time of the heaven/burial." Tashi said naturally, but Lao Gu and Qin Zhen spit out all the meat in their mouths with one mouth! They forget that although the birds themselves are rarely disgusting, the things they eat are quite disgusting!! That vulture eats carrion, and eats all kinds of corpses! They bake it, it's not going to be true......
Seeing Qin Zhen and Lao Gu like this, Tashi hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, this shouldn't be." That's what I said, come on, eat! As he spoke, he handed Qin Zhen a piece of meat to them.
When Qin Zhen heard this, he even gave Tashi and Tsering everything in his hand, and simply gave them all to eat. He said this, but Qin Zhen couldn't just hear it! Although Tashi also deliberately emphasized that this should not be a vulture, but after hearing that kind of bird, it was difficult for Qin Zhen to swallow this unknown bird.
After wiping his mouth, Qin Zhen asked the indigenous man on the side: "Brother, how much do you know about that Lotus Secret Realm?" ”
The man told Qin Zhen and them very truthfully that in their place, from the patriarch to the child, there was no one who didn't know the secret realm of the lotus. The Lotus Secret Realm was definitely not a secret to them.
Qin Zhen nodded, and his heart was right. Up to the patriarch, down to the children, how many people are together?? It would be too embarrassing to be a little secret.
Even so, the situation described by this man and the old natives is not much different, and there is no more meaningful clue.
Qin Zhen saw this situation, and then asked, "When we first met before, you said that the rainforest ahead was not a road for people to walk, was that to prevent outsiders from entering the Lotus Secret Realm?" Qin Zhen thought that even if he couldn't inquire about the news in the secret realm, it would be good to inquire about the path of this rainforest.
The indigenous man nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Protecting the secret realm is one thing, and the other is that it is indeed not the path that people take there. We'd never dared to go there! There are also man-eating locusts, man-eating ants, blood mosquito kings, and titans...... It's horrible! ”
Qin Zhen and the others couldn't help but glance at each other after hearing this, and they were probably surprised by the same thing. The other things that the native man said, although they sounded terrible, at least they could be imagined. But what does the last "Titan" mean? Isn't this primitive mountain folk still understanding Greek mythology? ?
Qin Zhen asked the man about this question, and the man said with a frightened face: "Actually, we haven't seen the Titans either, but a large part of the people who walked in 70 years ago were killed by the Titans!" They all called it Titan, so the warriors who came back alive remembered the name. That's why you're gods! He was able to come out of the Lotus Secret Realm unscathed! ”
Qin Zhen smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, where did we come out? We're going to walk in!
However, if the thing called "Titan" is the name given by a foreigner, then it is easy to explain. But what is this cannibalistic, devil-like thing?
Just as he was pondering, Qin Zhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a terrible idea came to him! He looked nervous and said to Jiang Qi and Gu Jie, "That Titan...... Wouldn't it be referring to the Titan Python, would it?? ”
Lao Gu was obviously very unfamiliar with this species, so he didn't understand it too much and asked, "What is it?" Python? What kind of snake we haven't seen before, it's long been strange. ”
Qin Zhen's face was a little pale and said, "That Titan python is the largest snake among the fossils found so far. It is said that it can only be found in the tropics when the normal temperature is close to 30 degrees Celsius. They generally have to be nearly twenty meters long...... More than 1500 kg in weight...... Killing a crocodile a few meters long is like having fun. ”
Lao Gu was also frightened by the number, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure it's more than 1,500 kilograms?" That's 3,000 pounds!! Stop it...... What the hell is that! ”
Qin Zhen looked at Lao Gu very seriously and said, "I'm not kidding you, I've seen the fossil of the Titan Python from the book." The cervical vertebrae of ordinary forest worms, if you compare them with those of Titans, it is like a big watermelon next to a jujube. It's not a rank at all. ”
Seeing that Qin Zhen and the others were chatting very seriously, the indigenous man interjected and said, "Heavenly God, we are really a god here!" There is a rainforest under the snowy mountains, and there is a sea under the rainforest! (To be continued......)
