Chapter 103: Burmese Border Villages
The Golden Triangle is located in a triangular area in the border areas of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia, which gathers more than 3,000 villages and towns in Shan State and Kachin State in Myanmar, Chiang Rai Province and Chiang Mai Province in Thailand, Luang Namtha Province, Phongsali Province, Oudomxay Province in Laos, and Luang Prabang Province in the west. There are hundreds of various forces, and the relationship is intricate. The most famous local product here is the poppy, followed by the warlords large and small, but it is also the last paradise of wizards.
This small area of mountainous land, is not in line with the Great Xia Kingdom, from ancient times to the present, there are countless primitive sects here to survive and reproduce, rise and fall, and later the Great Xia Kingdom Xuanmen is in charge, countless side doors, wizards and warlocks are cornered, and slowly migrate to this side, and the original primitive sects fight together, and gradually form the current to descend the head, Gu and curse-based wizard system, but the wizard inheritance has always been mysterious, although Zhao Qian has the wizard secret record given by Kang Bo last time, but the witchcraft above is too jumpy, it is composed of some big road witchcraft that has been circulated, it is not a system at all, there is no representative, and it is expected to deduce more profound witchcraft from it, which is tantamount to seeking fish from the wood, wishful thinking.
Since there is no other better way, Zhao Qian can only think of going to this last paradise of wizards to take a stroll and see if there is a chance to find some traces of the ancient witch clan, after all, there is still a witch weapon of unknown origin waiting for him, even if that witch weapon has no origin, but it is good to know more about the means of cultivation.
From the imperial city to the Golden Triangle, much faster than when he went, less than two hours, Zhao Qian descended the clouds at the junction of Laos and Myanmar, on the rugged mountain road, Zhao Qian took Xiaoguang and Zining to walk in steps, although the Golden Triangle only needs two or three back and forth to be able to sweep it with divine thoughts, but Zhao Qian is here to find the opportunity, not to find the fault, the opportunity is something that cannot be seen or touched, or step by step to find a more reliable point, and even if you can't find anything, it can also be regarded as a return to the ordinary travel, this time on the Great Wall, but also let Zhao Qian temporarily put down the mentality of a monk, more from the perspective of mortals to understand the red dustAfter all, even if it is an immortal, it still carries a personal character.
After crossing a few hills, not long after walking, I saw a small village at the foot of the mountain in front of me, a clear stream flowed down from the mountain, surrounded the village, and then turned around to merge into a slightly larger river, it was almost noon, every household in the village was lit with cooking smoke, and the smell of food could be smelled from afar.
Xiaoguang jumped to Zhao Qian's side, grabbed Zhao Qian's arm and said, "Master, why don't we go there and have a look, I haven't rested since yesterday morning, I'm so tired." ”
Zhao Qian rolled his eyes, when the magic weapon will be tired, and it is not in the fighting method, along the way, Xiaoguang has not known how many times she has been tired, I really don't know if it is good or bad for her to understand human nature, but Zhao Qian himself also wants to go there to rest, this kind of simple village can make people feel the atmosphere of harmony between man and nature more than big cities.
Looking at Xiaoguang and Zining, Zhao Qian said, "Today we will live in the village in front, but you change your clothes first, and you will be watched by people if you dress like this in this kind of place." ”
Xiaoguang grinned and said, "Just by the appearance of me and Zi Ning, whatever we wear will be watched." ”
Zhao Qian stretched out his hand and gave Xiaoguang a popping chestnut, "Less narcissism, hurry up." ”
Xiaoguang covered his forehead with tears rippling in his eyes, but unfortunately Zhao Qianli ignored it, at this time Zining had already completed the disguise, wearing a lilac mountaineering suit, looking very heroic, Xiaoguang pouted, I don't know what he was muttering, turned in place, and the white long skirt on his body also became the same style of mountaineering clothes as Zining, but it was light green, but this time it seemed that Zhao Qian, who was dressed in casual clothes, was special, but Zhao Qian didn't care, but touched his chin, looked at the two women, and then waved his right hand, and a strong wind brought up dust to Xiaoguang and Zining, bringing out some of the taste of traveling on them, and then in the resentful eyes of the two women, took out a large backpack from the space and carried it behind him, and continued to walk slowly towards the village with his hands in his pockets.
As soon as he walked into the village, a few local dogs ran out and barked at the three of them, Zhao Qian stood in place, without any movement, and soon an old man came out of a wooden house in front of him, scolded a few words loudly, drove the dog away, and then walked to Zhao Qian, with a vigilant gaze and said, "Who are you, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Qian looked at this old man, he looked almost seventy years old, with gray hair, dark skin, a rickety body, and a blue-gray homespun cloth, the style was similar to that of the Great Xia Kingdom thirty or forty years ago, but Zhao Qian dared to use his divine thoughts far beyond the Qi Cultivation Realm to guarantee that this person was definitely not more than fifty years old, and the people in this land aged faster because of poverty and disease.
Showing a smile that he thought was very handsome, Zhao Qian said, "Hello uncle, we are hiking tourists, and we walked here unintentionally, I don't know if it's inconvenient to find a place to rest, we can pay." ”
With a scrutinizing gaze, he looked at the three people in front of Zhao repeatedly, all of them looked like dusty people, similar to the travelers he had seen before, and there were two women, who should not be from the government army, but these two women were inevitably too beautiful, if they were seen by Solangon's gang, I am afraid there would be a lot of trouble, thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head gently.
Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment, what does it mean to shake his head, can't it?
When the old man saw the question on Zhao Qian's face, he suddenly came to his senses and said to Zhao Qian, "Of course you can, welcome guests from afar, why don't you go to my house, you don't need to pay, but there are no good things in our village to entertain distinguished guests, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Although I don't know why I shook my head first and then agreed, but I can stay here, Zhao Qian said with a smile, "Of course not, thank you very much." ”
Follow the old man into the wooden house, which is very simple, and there are some farm tools stacked in the corner of the lobby, but they are clean and tidy, not as messy as ordinary villagers' homes.
The old man invited Zhao Qian and the three of them to sit down at the table in the center of the lobby, and then said, "Guests, please wait, lunch will be ready soon." ”
Zhao Qian smiled and nodded, "I haven't asked the old man what to call him." ”
The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of black teeth, "My name is Ahsan, Sisuri, you can call me Ahsan." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Asan, for your hospitality, otherwise we wouldn't know where we would be to rest. Zhao Qian said politely.
Ahsan waved his hand, "It's not a hospitality, as long as the guests don't dislike it." After speaking, he paused, thought for a while, and continued, "When the guests are resting, it's better not to go any further, you better go back quickly." ”
Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ah Sang suspiciously, "Uncle Ah Sang, is there any danger ahead?"
Ahsan didn't speak, just shook his head, "Don't ask, anyway, let's go back later." ”
Without waiting for Zhao Qian to ask again, a girl came out of the side door next to her, with wheat-colored skin, a slender figure, a slender waist, and a good figure, but her appearance was typical of South Asians, with a wide forehead and a flat nose, wearing a long green skirt, and holding a full vegetable bowl in her hand.
Putting the bowl on the table, the girl bowed to the three people in front of Zhao and saluted, "Hello, I am Yuhan Sisuri, welcome three distinguished guests." ”
The three of them stood up and bowed in return, "Miss Yuhan, I'm sorry." ”
didn't continue to ask, anyway, no matter what it was, Zhao Qian and the others would not take it to heart, it didn't take long for the dishes to be served, and there was a can of home-brewed rice wine, accompanied by the Ahsan family, the three of them began to enjoy this very characteristic lunch.
Full of wine and food, Zhao Qian hadn't rested for long, Ah Sang began to drive people again, "A few guests should leave here quickly, I'm afraid it will be dangerous if it's late." ”
"Oh, what is the danger?" Zhao Qian looked at Ah Sang curiously, originally he only needed to sweep his mind to naturally know what the reason was, but now that Zhao Qian planned to experience Hongchen, he decided that he would not use such a method.
Ah Sang shook his head and said nothing, just looked at Zhao Qian, and then glanced at Xiaoguang and Zining, okay, Zhao Qian pouted, it seems to have something to do with red faces and troubles.
Took out a stack of cash from his backpack, not the Burmese dollar here, but the Daxia currency, in the Golden Triangle region, in addition to the US dollar, the strongest is the Daxia currency, but their national currency is still behind. Putting the money on the table, he said to Ahsan, "Then let's go first, thank you very much for your hospitality, please accept this kindness." ”
Ah Sang shook his head again and again, his old face turned red, "Don't, no, how can there be a reason to entertain guests and collect money." ”
Zhao Qianzhi looked at Ah Sang stunned, "If you don't accept me, I won't leave." ”
Ah Sang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't know what to say, so Yu Han walked back to the room, and soon walked out again, holding a colorful thin stone chip in his hand, and said to Zhao Qian, "If Mr. insists on paying, then please accept this amulet, which has been blessed by the wizard of the clan, and can bless peace." ”
Zhao Qian couldn't help but be stunned, there was really some unique aura on this stone piece, could it be that he was so lucky that he found the traces of wizards just here, or that there were so many wizards here that they were worthless.
Seeing Zhao Qian accept this talisman, Ah San's face looked much better, and after sending Zhao Qian and the three out of the village, he said a few more words before returning to the wooden house.
And Zhao Qian made a detour in the woods in front of the village, and continued to walk forward, still playing with the talisman in his hand, joking, he had a harvest just here, so don't move on.
