Chapter 774: Go to the Five Immortals Temple
"Five Immortal Temple!" Ah Wuha's eyes widened, and his face showed surprise, and the faces of the rest of the cavalry on the side also became ugly, and there was a commotion all around. On this Changbai Mountain, there is a temple of five immortals, which enshrines fox immortals, yellow immortals, gray immortals, willow immortals and white immortals, in fact, five beasts that have become essences.
The fox fairy is the fox spirit, the yellow fairy is the weasel essence, the gray fairy is the mouse spirit, the willow fairy is the snake spirit, and the white fairy is the hedgehog essence. These five beasts are all born with spirits, and if they get the opportunity the day after tomorrow, they can easily become spirits.
The Jurchens actually believe in shamanism, but since these five immortals came to Changbai Mountain decades ago, they ordered the people in the vicinity to worship them. At first, the people didn't do it, but the five immortals came to harass the village every day, at first just throwing some livestock, and later even the children were stolen. In desperation, these people had to build a temple of five immortals to worship the five immortals.
Decades have passed, the fame of the five immortal temples has become more and more famous, and the supernatural powers have become more and more spiritual, and the people in the vicinity of Baili believe in the five immortals in the temple.
"Since it is an order of the Lord, you should obey it. Please give the lowly post half a day to gather troops and horses. Ah Wuha straightened his waist and said loudly. After speaking, he quietly glared at his subordinates, and those cavalrymen were glared at by Ah Wuha, and they immediately didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Then there's Commander Lao. Fang Hong was keenly aware of Ah Wuha's movements, but he remained silent, pretending not to notice.
"The envoy came all the way, and he was probably tired, so he came and took the two of them to rest. Awuha opened his mouth and commanded the side, and then he took a step and walked into the distance.
After he left, a knight dismounted and led Fang Hong and the others to a house. However, there was no smile on the man's face, and he even glanced at the two of them with some resentment.
The speed of Awuha was still very fast, and just after noon, a thousand people had gathered. The team of 1,000 people set up a formation outside the city, although they were wearing dirty leather robes, but their faces were fierce and exuded the smell of bloodthirst.
Fang Hong and the others went out of the city, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The Hu people live in a cold and bitter land, and they need to fight fierce beasts and cruel weather on weekdays, and they are extremely brave. And look at the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they are almost no different from ordinary peasants, once these Hu people are wrong, the border of the Ming Dynasty will immediately erode.
"Envoy, please get on your horse. With a shake of the reins, he walked up to the two of them, and behind him, two of his tribesmen led two ponies and walked quickly.
These horses are all from Warat, they are not very tall, but they are very patient, do not need much fine forage, and are very suitable for the climate and environment of the place.
Fang Hong and the others turned over and got on the horse, and their movements were extremely neat. This made Ah Wuha a little impressed, because he always thought that the Ming people were weak and used to sitting in a sedan chair, but he didn't expect these two people to be so good.
"The Five Immortals Temple is more than twenty miles away from here, so come with us. As soon as he shook the reins, the horses under his crotch turned in a different direction, and with small steps, led the way ahead.
And the cavalry behind him also followed in black pressure. The sound of horses' hooves trampling on the ground made the soft snow instantly hard.
These Jurchen cavalry have adapted to this extremely cold environment, even if the road is closed by heavy snow, they have already arrived near Changbai Mountain after walking for half a day.
"Envoy, this Five Immortal Temple is on the mountainside, should we go up the mountain now, or wait until tomorrow to set off?" At the foot of the Jade Pillar Peak of Changbai Mountain, Ah Wuha pointed to the towering top not far away and said.
"Get up the hill now, without delay. Fang Hong looked up at the sky, the weather was not good today, and at night, there was no moonlight in the sky. And here, the mountain wind blew from the gap, and it was a windy and dark night.
"Yes. The face of the Uha, who did not change, immediately ordered everyone to dismount, and then ordered some branches to be cut down and tied to their feet. The trail is difficult to walk and covered in snow, so you have to tie branches to your feet so that you don't slide down the cliff.
"Take four or five hundred men with you, and the rest stay at the foot of the mountain and set up camp and get ready to eat. Fang Hong waved his hand and stopped Ah Wuha's move to let everyone go up the mountain.
Awuha nodded, and then gave a few more orders to his men, and half of them remained, and quickly began to take the felt cloth from the horse's back, and prepare to set up the tent.
These soldiers were very skillful in their movements, and they were well coordinated, nailing stakes and pulling ropes, and in a very short time, dozens of tents were erected.
And the soldiers who were about to go up the mountain also tied branches under their feet, and stood straight one by one, looking full of momentum.
"Two envoys, there are some branches here, and they are tied to the soles of their shoes, otherwise the road up the mountain will not be easy. Holding a bundle of branches, Ah Wuha personally delivered it to Fang Hong and the others.
"No, let's hurry up the mountain and try to solve the problem quickly. Before Fang Hong could speak, Zhang Zongyan was already a little impatient. He was originally greedy for trouble, so he asked Fang Hong to mobilize a large army to break the mountain and cut down the temple, but these Jurchens were extremely grinding, and they had to tie branches at their feet when they went up the mountain, which was not a waste of effort.
Ah Wuha smiled, since Fang Hong and the others were unwilling to tie the branches, then he didn't force it. He threw the branch aside, and then walked at the front, walking along the mountain road to the mountain.
The Five Immortals Temple is built on a clearing in the middle of the mountain, and if you want to go up the mountain, you have to take the steep mountain road. The mountain road was no more than seven or eight feet wide, and there were dense branches growing on the side, and on this big night, it was like a ghost's hand with its teeth and claws.
The further you go up the mountain, the stronger the wind becomes, and the howling continues. Many female real soldiers must constantly move their bodies in order to resist the cold.
On the other hand, Fang Hong and the others were extremely steady under their feet, and they walked very smoothly on the steep and difficult path.
"It's just ahead, in this winter, there are a lot fewer people worshipping the five immortals, but in spring and summer, the villagers under the mountain will bring a large number of sacrifices up the mountain, and the scene is spectacular. Halfway up the mountain, Ah Wuha suddenly said this, which seemed to be unintentional and deliberate.
"Yes, but I'm afraid I won't see anything like this again. A bunch of spirits and beasts, how can they be qualified to enjoy this kind of incense?" Fang Hong smiled when he heard this, and there was a lot of disdain in his tone.
"Maybe. Ah Wuha muttered a few times, but did not answer again.
