Chapter 320: New Words on the Mountain
When Han Feng threw the stone knife in his hand into the deep water, Li Ji was in a stalemate with the mountain man. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
She put on her Yi costume again, riding on the night horse, her face covered with wind and dust, her pale chestnut eyes shining with determination, and she was far more mature than her own age.
Starting from the Yi village and heading all the way up the mountain, she finally led everyone to the village where the mountain people lived. Looking down the mountain, large areas of the forest have already shown the color of decay. Through a few fallen towering trees, the top of the Elephant City of the Dead City was revealed through the cracks.
The city wall is crawling with vines, and there is no need to look, Li Ji also knows that the originally green grassland under the city has now become a paradise for poisonous snakes and beasts, the water source in the city is full of poisonous weeds and poisonous insects, and the locusts occupy the moat......
The new plants sprout branches from the dead mouths, and the rhizomes spread all over the body, and finally burst out of some weak spots, digging deep into the earth, and it will not be long before the bodies of the dead will be corrupted and corrupted, and only skeletons will be left, and this skeleton will be tightly connected to the earth, and it will never be separated.
There are generations of dead people in the city, and there are even more people than generations, but in the eyes of Lijiao, those Yi people who only care about pleasure and forget the great hatred and shame of their own clan have long been dead, just like these mountain people who are sitting and eating empty mountains.
But no matter how annoying she is, the people on the mountain are closer to her, and the relationship with the people under the mountain is also closer, no matter what, she can't use the kind of thunderous means that the people of the city are.
"Master, they're here. Yu Tianxing said. She had a cold face and shouted the word "Master" without emotion. Li Jiao glanced at her lightly, and Yu Tianxing lowered her head - this is not the awe that she should show as an apprentice, but a deep fear, she always feels that Li Jiao can see clearly what she thinks at a glance, so that all her dirty thoughts have nowhere to hide, so that she is ashamed.
But no matter how smart and mature she is, she is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. She looked up at the tall and round mountain people walking lazily, and tried her best to hide it so that a look of disgust would not appear on her face.
A group of people on the mountain came overwhelmed, and the person at the head was Xu Hu, who was disrespectful to Lijiao in the past. There are two deep scars carved on his face, which were left by the green python on the cliff at that time. And next to him were the Jiang Yuan brothers and sisters. These two men were originally handsome and well-proportioned, but now they have spent more than a year in the mountains, their stomachs are bald, and their limbs have become much thinner. Under the bare arms are covered with drooping sacs, which are obviously related to non-work—and if a pregnant woman has a bulging belly, it is because she often does not come on time to eat, eat one meal, eat one meal, and eat one meal at a time, and overeat.
Most of the people on the mountain looked like this, except that the adults were taller and stronger because they could snatch food from the children, but the belly was still bulging outward, and some exaggerated bellies fell straight down from the waist, and walked and dangled as if there was a man inside.
Yu Tianxing also saw the people on the mountain for the first time, and his face changed greatly. She originally thought that the Yi tribe was the best nation in the world, but she never thought that among the people of the same clan, there were such ugly people, looking at their appearance, even those jade bosses of Changmen Mountain who had big bellies and exuded copper stench were not as good.
She only felt that her heartbeat intensified, and she almost wanted to run to the side and vomit, but the other party had already approached with the smell of not taking a shower for more than half a year. Xu Hu leaned in front of Lijiao with a shy stomach, and the smell on his body made even Tianma can't help but sneeze a few times. Li Jiao turned her head slightly, tried her best to control herself from covering her nose, and asked with bated breath: "I sent someone to deliver a letter a few days ago, but you have not responded. What are you going to do now?"
Xu Hu didn't know what he had eaten in the morning, so he raised his head and burped at this time, and then said nonchalantly: "What can you do?" Good sister, you cut off our food supply, and you want to starve us to death. That's when he asked us what to do? Hehe, what a high-priest with the best heart. ”
Ignoring his cynicism, Lijiao continued, "I hope you can come back...... Brother Xu, although no one in Xiangcheng has given you food these days, I have already arranged for the village to allocate some extra to give to you first. Is Uncle Qin here?"
She suddenly turned around to ask, and a burly middle-aged man in the team of people under the mountain immediately stood up. This man was handsome and handsome, his bare upper body showed strong muscles, he had a half-long beard, he looked hard-boned, down-to-earth and capable, and when he heard Li's question, he hurriedly replied in a loud voice: "At the order of the priest, in the three months since the destruction of the Elephant City, I have sent ten cartloads of grain and vegetables up the mountain every six months, and I have also given them seeds and farm tools. Every time, Xu Hu took it, and the second and third children testified to me!" He was righteous and awe-inspiring, full of neutrality, and the two men with similar appearances around him also nodded again and again to prove the truth.
Lijiao nodded, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Qin." When I heard Brother Xu ask, I thought we really sent it to the wrong place, maybe it was given to some mountain spirit and water ghost to eat. I really wronged Uncle Qin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
However, after Uncle Qin finished saying this, the mountain people on the opposite side blew up. The Jiang brothers and sisters looked at Xu Hu first, and asked loudly: "Brother Xu, didn't you say that there are only eight carts of grain at a time, and that they are the high priests who maliciously deduct them?
The others had a lot of questions, and they all smashed at Xu Hu, and at the same time questioned a few people who went to receive food with Xu Hu every time. Those people looked embarrassed, more or less looked at Xu Hu, but when they saw Xu Hu, they suddenly roared and said: "You only listen to their nonsense! Can't you see such a simple sowing discord! We usually live happily on the mountain, but they just can't get used to us, so they cut off our back road, and now they make us suspicious of each other, which is really shameless and insidious, and shameless!"
He was completely sprinkled and tricked, but in the midst of the foaming at the mouth, the fierce appearance was revealed, and the people on the mountain were quieted down, and even some men who had just scolded and scolded turned to look at Lijiao angrily at this time, and shouted: "Who knows if the two extra grain trucks are greedy by himself surnamed Qin!" The people under the mountain and the people on the mountain are two types of people who are opposites, she originally arranged all kinds of words to create chaos, secretly thinking that the people on the mountain are the only ones who bully Xu Hu, although the others are happy not to do things on the mountain, in the end because of the uneven division of things, they are both afraid and hateful, and what they can use is this hatred. But she still underestimated the aftermath of Xu Hu and others, and she didn't expect that the hungry and panicked people were completely blindly obedient, and they had long lost the mind to judge for themselves.
Looking at these fellow clansmen who couldn't hold up the wall with mud, Lijiao was furious and said: "With us, the whole world will be ours in the future, and no one will look down on you again?
I don't know who on the other side replied, although the voice was small, but it clearly reached everyone's ears: "Go out to rebel against you? Can you guarantee that we are all alive? We have not had an easy life in this life, and it is good to be able to live in a down-to-earth manner until we die, so why fight for anything, who can afford and who looks down on it? If you have nothing to eat, you can afford to look down on him. Your high priest doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, but don't miss the temple of the five internal organs of our people. ”
However, before he could finish this sentence, Xu Hu interrupted him with a sneer: "Eh, this is really unambitious, it's a big mistake!"
After listening to Xu Hu's words, Lijiao only thought that he had heard it wrong. However, Xu Hu's next sentence really shattered her somewhat unrealistic illusions: "Where is the high priest who does not eat the fireworks of the world? It is clear that people have gone to a high place! Don't you remember? The high priest is now married to the new emperor of the Western Dynasty and has become the queen, and now he is saying that he wants us to share the world, isn't he helping her husband's family to sell coolies?" He finished speaking, his eyebrows fluttered, and he looked at Lijiao again, and said, "Haha, little girl...... No, no, it's time to teach you the queen mother, don't think that your tricks can hide from these honest people, and you can hide it from my eyes. The West Dynasty and the North Dynasty Zhan Dynasty, a raccoon dog. Since we are in the name of the country, we will still be the world of the country in the future, where can we have a foothold!"
He paused for a moment, as if he wanted to listen to Liji's argument, but unexpectedly, Liji did not speak, Xu Hu showed a sneer, pursed his lips, and continued: "I heard that the emperors of the Western and Northern Dynasties are all of Yi blood, but so what? Are they willing to admit it, can they recognize it? If they say that they are from the side of the generation, then they have royal blood, and their dignity is extraordinary, and this is the justifiable way of rebellion." But their Yi bloodline ...... Haha, it's not as noble as us! What kind of girls we are looking for to send out every five years, everyone knows it. What remains is the most precious! Not to mention those half-yi!"
This last sentence stabbed Yu Tianxing's sore spot. Her face changed, and her whole body trembled. Lijiao quietly patted her shoulder and shook her head slightly.
Xu Hu said again: "When I didn't go up the mountain before, I told the priest what I thought. I said that we were originally a herd of pigs in captivity, and that the dignity of man, the so-called priesthood, the so-called god of nature, was just a joke. If there really is a god of nature, and we believe in her so much, but where is she when the contemporary Chinese people attack? Don't tell me that she is in the poison of today's women, and she is just deceiving herself! If we can't beat and beat, and we can't survive it, then we can live our lives well, and we will recognize whatever we are reincarnated in this life. Right...... At that time, you scolded me for being unambitious, unproductive, lazy, and despicable, but no matter how despicable and obscene I was, I was just thinking about how to survive and how to lead more people to live well. But what about you, who claim to be the most powerful priest of the Yi tribe, but only think of exchanging our lives for their own power, who will judge who is wrong or right!"
He said such a long sentence that he only remembered to catch his breath at this time. Not only did the people on the mountain calm down, but even the people down the mountain also quieted down. Everyone looked at Liji, who sighed lightly and asked, "Who taught you these words?"
