Chapter 334: Night into the White Mountain

Baishan does not belong to Dora, nor does it belong to Qingguo, and the location is very coincidental in the region between the two, and it is more inclined to Dora. However, at the beginning, the Luobu tribe voluntarily gave up the vast grassland and chose to live in seclusion in the White Mountain, and the then King of Doro did not care about it anymore. When they found out that the Luobu tribe was trying to submit to the Central Plains, they wanted to attack it, but they could not find the Luobu tribe hidden in the mountains.

The top of Baishan Mountain is covered with snow all year round, but the valley is like spring all year round, the four walls are towering into the clouds, and the mountain is as empty as a sinkhole. There is only one road in and out of the valley, and the road is long, narrow and far-reaching, and even if you walk in the daytime, you can't look up and see the blue sky. From the entrance to the other end of the cave, the widest part can only accommodate two carriages barely passing by, and the narrowest place can only accommodate one person and one horse, so it is almost impossible to enter the army. There is also a road to the valley at the top of the mountain, but the mountain is densely wooded and towering, and there are strange rocks, and there are poisonous snakes and beasts in between, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will die.

The patriarch of the Luo Bu tribe was very far-sighted, knowing that the culture of the Central Plains was far-reaching and the land was fertile, as long as he was not in charge of the Dusk monarch and slanderous ministers, he was always stronger than the nomadic Doro. Since the answer is long gone, three points of the world, Doro will establish a country, and dominate the grassland, he must also think about future generations. Perhaps because the Luo Bu tribe has historical records, they only submitted to the Ta Xi Dynasty, so they are naturally unwilling to submit to the Doro people.

According to the genealogical records of the Luo Bu people, the Luo Bu people are even older than the Taxi Dynasty, and they have always been priests and doctors. Because of their physical relationships, they hardly participate in any wars, but despite this, their people are still the least. After they settled in Baishan, they found that the water and soil of Baishan could prolong the lives of their people, so the patriarch of the Yiluo tribe was willing to give up the wealth and glory of the royal family and chose to move to live in seclusion in Baishan.

Even if they later submitted to the Central Plains Dynasty, the Qingguo Emperor did not ask them to be incorporated into the country because of the high mountains and rivers, and in the eyes of the royal family, the initiative of the Luobu tribe was far more cost-effective than forcible annexation. Besides, with the situation of the Luo Bu tribe, there is really nothing to be afraid of, they will not be able to conquer the Qing Kingdom, and even if the Qing Kingdom attacks them, they will only get a mountain area. So over the years, northern Sichuan has become the place where Baishan and the Central Plains have exchanged the most.

When Mrs. Xin decided to marry Xin Maoshan, it did cause a lot of turmoil in the Luo Bu clan, if she regarded herself as a small country, she should also be a noble princess, but she just looked at a general who did not have a family status. And the Luobu tribe also has an unwritten rule, the Luobu women who marry cannot go back to their parents' homes, and the patriarch is naturally reluctant to marry his daughter, but after all, he can't survive his daughter and promised her to Xin Maoshan. It was Youning that they were able to go to Baishan to meet their grandfather's house since they were young, but Mrs. Xin never stepped into the house again, which is also a point that Xin Maoshan always felt sorry for his wife, so that later he never let the concubine give birth to a child.

Shaohua thought that he had not stepped into Baishan for many years, and his memory was very distant, but the steps under his feet had never been wrong, as if he had walked every day. Youning had fallen into a semi-coma because of excessive blood loss, Shaohua carefully told Laneige to take care of Youning, but handed over the reins to Hu Banniang, and led them slowly into the mountain against the dim sky. The night in the mountains darkened quickly, and Shaohua finally found his way into the valley, but he couldn't see the direction in front of him.

"Master, I'm afraid!" Listening to the sound of the wind blowing from the mountain peaks like a mandrill ghost, Hu Banniang couldn't help but hug Shaohua hard, and her voice was slightly crying. Shaohua was a little displeased, she didn't like to be in such intimate contact with strangers, but Hu Banniang buried her face in her hair because she was afraid, and her breath teased her neck, causing her to have a layer of goosebumps.

Looking around, the darkness that made Laneige feel terrified as well, and it was the first time she had entered the mountain at night. She had heard the name of Baishan many times, but she had never been so close, she only remembered hearing her brother scare her when she was a child, and the disobedient child would be eaten by the cangyi on Baishan.

So she looked around vigilantly, and any sound, a little light, would make her feel that she was haunted by a cangyi.

"Wu Niang, are you sure you made a mistake?" Laneige swallowed, and Youning was almost half-leaning on her, her eyes closed, her mouth turning pale. She didn't dare to relax, for fear that if she was not careful, Youning would fall off the horse.

Shaohua looked back, but only saw darkness, she said softly: "Don't worry, it won't be wrong, Youning has told me many times." She had walked this road many times at night, but she hadn't been here for a long time, so she had to be cautious.

Because she was worried that it would be difficult to explore the way on horseback, Shaohua decided to turn over and dismount and let Hu Banniang sit on horseback carefully, but Hu Banniang was also bold and small-hearted, she immediately jumped off the horse and had to drag Shaohua away. Shaohua had no choice but to let her pull, and while walking, she looked at the faint sky in the narrow stone crevice overhead, guiding her in the direction of progress.

turned a corner, and suddenly saw a dim oil lamp in the dark, Shaohua was overjoyed, but the next moment he had to be cautious. She stood still, looking at the lights not far away, and Hu Banniang also nervously rubbed behind Shaohua, clinging to her tightly.

Shaohua took a deep breath and asked in a loud voice, "Who is in front!" ”

The other party didn't answer, just walked over slowly with an oil lamp, Shaohua knew in her heart that the person who could still walk around in Baishan so late must be a member of the Luobu tribe, but she didn't know the identity of the other party, and she really couldn't let go of her guard. Shaohua was so nervous that he was ready to hold the dagger to defend himself, but the other party stopped ten steps away from them, Shaohua also breathed a sigh of relief, the other party raised the oil lamp, and said softly: "Four guests from the Central Plains, please follow me into the mountain." ”

Shaohua showed a happy smile on his face, and hurriedly followed the other party's footsteps, but Hu Banniang quietly pulled Shaohua's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Master, how do they know where we came from, it shouldn't be the people who are following us, right?" ”

Shaohua lowered his voice and replied: "Even if those people know that we are from the Central Plains, they don't know how many of us there are. ”

What's more, the black light is blind this way, even if the other party is carrying the lamp, it is still dark from his direction. Shaohua has not forgotten that the Luo Bu tribe is best at divination, so it is not difficult to know their arrival.

But Lanzhi was not as relaxed as Shaohua, because Yu Ning's hands were getting colder and colder, as if they were about to freeze, and even her hands condensed. Lanzhi was a little scared, the temperature of Youning's whole body seemed to be taken away by the whistling mountain wind, and she was afraid that even Youning would be taken away. The voice choked in his throat, and Laneige was so nervous that she couldn't speak, so she could only rub Yu Ning's hand secretly, trying to make him warm up.

"Wu Niang, I'd rather him, he's dying." Laneige finally couldn't help but shout, and the heavy cry startled Shaohua, who was walking in front. She hurriedly ran back and touched Youning's hand on the back of the horse, which was really cold.

"Youning, wake up! Youning! Wake up, don't scare me. Shaohua shook his hand and shouted a few words, but You Ning seemed to be asleep and ignored it. She was so anxious that she ran forward and said to the leader, "Hurry up and call Uncle Bag, Youning is seriously injured, and he is dying." ”

When the person who was originally walking in front heard Shaohua's words, he immediately stopped, glanced back at them, and asked, "Youning?" Seeing Shaohua nodding, the leader was also a little frightened and turned back, only then did they see that the leader was a middle-aged man. About forty years old, with a slender figure, a delicate face, and eyes like torches, he glanced at Shaohua, looked behind her, and quickly recognized Han Baiyu, as well as Youning, who was unconscious leaning on Laneige's arms.

He immediately rushed over, took You Ning's hand, held his pulse and listened, then turned back to Shaohua and said, "I'll take him first, you wait." ”

Shaohua nodded thoughtlessly, the middle-aged man seemed to be a little surprised, bowed his head to her, carefully picked You Ning off the horse, carried it behind him, and did not forget to tell them: "I'll come back soon, don't go around." ”

Hu Banniang and Lan Zhi were both stunned, watching You Ning be carried away by a strange man like this, and disappeared into the darkness without even taking the oil lamp. Laneige walked up to Shaohua, took her hand, and asked worriedly, "Who was that person just now, is it okay for Youning to be taken away by him like this?" ”

Shaohua picked up the oil lamp, the faint light of the fire illuminated the faces of the three of them, looking at Lanzhi's worried expression, Shaohua softly reassured: "Youning's maternal grandfather is the patriarch of the Luo Bu clan, this is equivalent to his mother's family, and all the people of the Luo Bu clan know him, so he will be fine." It's just that the man was a little embarrassed just now, she couldn't name for a while, obviously he was also a little wary of Shaohua, but judging from the fact that he could take the pulse of Youning, he was not the one who usually guarded the pass, and he must have been sent by the patriarch of the Luo Bu clan.

Although the tribesmen of the Luobu tribe are naturally good at hunting, searching for medicinal herbs and astrological divination, they have their own strengths, and the strongest divination ability is naturally none other than the patriarch.

No one knows how powerful it is, but I heard that the prosperity and stability of the Axi Dynasty on the grassland for so long was entirely due to the Luo Bu priests, and there were even humanitarians, and the demise of the Axi Dynasty was related to the weakness of the Luo Bu people.

The population of the Lobu tribe also exploded at one time, but due to excessive intermarriage with other peoples, the various astrological and medicinal abilities of the descendants declined, and they almost disappeared. Only later did they discover that only the pure Rob tribe could possess the most powerful abilities. Just as the Doro people are born brave and good at fighting, the combination of strength and strength will naturally give birth to stronger offspring, if they intermarry with the Central Plains people, they may become more knowledgeable, but their ability to survive on the grassland will also decline.

The same is true of the Luo Bu tribe, so the three Youning sisters and brothers no longer have any Luo Bu ability, and only inherit their handsome appearance.
