Chapter 174: Legend 12
Taking the cave under the silver fir tree as the starting point, Han Feng and the three of them officially began the journey of the cangwu forest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Bai Tong barely remembered several other settlements of the Ajin tribe, but when they came to those places, they found that these settlements were also in a state of silver fir trees: empty, only caves, and there were traces of "human Gu" cultivation in the caves.
And after the incident of "Lijiao" sowing insect eggs, Han Feng's "Kailai" dream naturally changed. He dreamed of a woman holding a torch on a high platform and not knowing what she was saying, he dreamed that the city was full of smoke, and countless red-eyed beggars were holding bricks, stones, bamboo poles, sticks, or whatever they could find that could be used as weapons to stab at those who had helped them, and he dreamed that in the midst of a mist a girl looked at him, and the girl felt so familiar to him that it seemed to be his own reflection on the edge of the pond.
The dark eye sockets did not appear again, and where the dream abruptly ended, they were replaced by the girl's sheared eyes.
Han Feng woke up from the dream, and when he opened his eyes, there was still a green and faint phosphorus fire around him, and his chest was heavy, and he was sleeping soundly on his pillow.
I don't know when it has become a habit to sleep with Wanrou in his arms, although half of his body becomes a little numb every morning when he gets up, but he never lets go.
Seven days had passed since they entered the Cangwu Forest, and this was the former settlement of the ninth Ajin clan they had found, and according to this calculation, the Ajin clan had already raised nine human Gu and sacrificed two hundred and twenty-five people.
Two hundred and twenty-five people, looking at the corpses, there were old and young, men and women, this was not too unacceptable for an ethnic group with a population of more than 100,000, so Han Feng's attention gradually focused on those Gu who were hiding in the deep mountains and old forests.
According to Bai Tong, if human Gu does not have an owner, they all act on their own consciousness, but they no longer have any consciousness, so everything depends on instinct. Eating and drinking Lazar is instinct.
They will use their remaining memories to find what they know best, and then feed themselves in the most familiar way - hunting. If nothing else, they will be the best of the hunters. They know how to hide their whereabouts, and they also know how to track their prey, and the range of this prey is also very wide, from birds and even mosquitoes, to jackals, tigers and leopards, and people are also one of them.
Compared to wild beasts, man has no claws, no fangs, no hard horns, and no hooves as hard as stone; In the forest, there is a legend that once a wild beast has tasted human flesh, it will give up chasing deer, sheep, and cows, and instead wander around human settlements, hoping to find a lone person to feed on. And there will always be people who are left alone.
In the years of famine, this was not just a legend, but a reality.
When people are not well fed, and animals are even more so, so there are always wild beasts who take risks, ignoring the torches and spears of passers-by who go out at night, and lie in ambush in their path. In Bai Tong's memory, after a great famine three hundred years ago, the enemies faced by the Ajin tribe once changed from the Daiqing tribe to an overwhelming beast. Man-eating lions, man-eating tigers, man-eating bears, and even bobcats have joined the ranks of cannibalism.
At that time, the Yi people were almost wiped out, but fortunately, people discovered the beauty of human Gu.
Before that, human Gu was just a legend written on sheepskin or leaves, don't say that ordinary Gu masters have never had this idea, and even the priests of a clan would not dare to use such evil and dark Gu techniques. But it is better to feed a tiger with your body than to feed a person with your body. At the height of the beast's rampant prevalence and the threat of extinction, the priests of the Ajin clan finally decided to sacrifice their souls to the devil and used forbidden techniques that had been forbidden by their ancestors for the first time.
Twenty-five of the best hunters in the clan were imprisoned in the cellar, which was then sealed. After the relatives had wept for twenty-five days, that dark night, the priest opened the cellar and collected his own human Gu.
It stands to reason that this priest has already been included in Bai Tong, and his memory is also completely in Bai Tong's memory, but when asked about human Gu, Bai Tong was hesitant and couldn't answer a complete sentence.
Han Feng asked for a long time before he asked a sentence from Bai Tong's mouth: "As soon as the human Gu came out, the priest was torn apart." ”
After hearing this, Han Feng smacked his tongue for a long time before realizing a question: "Isn't the priest the master of the human Gu?"
Bai Tong sighed and sighed: "So it has also completed the things entrusted by the priest." After going out, I tore several tigers and leopards...... Then the beasts all ran away. If you have been hunting for so long, you should know that animals are much more alert to danger than humans, and they will only run for their lives at the slightest disturbance. ”
The story of Human Gu's majesty was the memory of the heir of the priest who had been torn apart, and apart from these, Han Feng had not found anything else related to Human Gu. Everything returned to the original starting point, Han Feng shook his head helplessly, thinking that he had a premonition that the things he encountered this time were more ferocious than those of the Rong Wolf Riding before entering the Cangwu Forest, and it seemed that his premonition was not wrong.
Bai Tong was noisy at this time: "Hey...... You have a hunch, that's the credit of my 'opening'......"
Han Feng snorted lightly twice, and simply ignored Bai Tong, but Bai Tong's "open" reminded him to think about something.
He is not completely passive in facing the future, on the contrary, "opening up" gives him the power to take the initiative. If he takes the initiative enough, he can even change a lot of foreseen things.
Just like what Liu Quan is doing, although he is not good at scheming, he should always make full use of Bai Tong's few benefits. The appearance of "Lijiao" confirms the first image of the previous dream, so what do the other images represent?
He had done that dream more than a hundred times, and he could remember every detail clearly. He remembered that someone was going south next, prostrating step by step. He couldn't see the person's face clearly, but if he wasn't mistaken, this should be the step that Bai Tong had pointed out earlier to break the curse of the Yiren.
It said at that time that unless the emperor knelt three times and bowed nine times, bowed step by step from the imperial capital, knocked to the Ten Thousand Bone Hills, and admitted the sins of the country, this poison would never be resolved. It is impossible to let the current Emperor Dai do this, and the princes of the Emperor Dai are said to have the same virtue as their fathers, so it is even more impossible. What's more, the Spring and Autumn Period of the Acting Emperor is in full bloom, and it doesn't seem to have the intention of abdicating immediately to make way for Xian. According to this, Bai Tong is already very sure about the future: Emperor Dai is bound to be overthrown.
And then, it becomes a play on words. If the person who overthrew the acting emperor was Xinghou, he would inevitably change the name of the era, so is the sin of this generation of the country still the sin of the country?
