Chapter 16: Shaman
Yan Qingli escaped from Xunyuan with Liyan, but they still had a problem, that is, the hundred-mile evergreen forest in front of them.
The evergreen forest is the largest mountain forest in northern Xinjiang, because of his bitter cold, only the real beast king can survive here.
Yan Qingli, who had dealt with treacherous ghosts, was naturally not afraid of confronting wild beasts, and besides, he was still a person with advanced cultivation. But it is precisely because of the bitter cold of the evergreen forest that most of the fierce beasts often live together.
The so-called one mountain south of the Great Wall does not allow two tigers in the Evergreen Forest is purely a joke, and I don't know how these beasts overcome the physiological difficulties, even if the solitary animals in the south of Shenzhou have to become social animals when they reach the Evergreen Forest.
And there are not only wild beasts in the Evergreen Forest, but also barbarian savages ambushed all over the Evergreen Forest, as well as all kinds of yin and evil things.
Yan Qingli couldn't help but cry and laugh a little when he looked at the Changqing Forest in front of him, which was hundreds of miles long, because Yan Qingli didn't know how strong Liyan's strength was, and he didn't dare to take risks.
On the first night they walked into the Evergreen Forest, Yan Qingli heard a lot of wind and grass when he was on duty at night, and then he would faintly hear the roar of fierce beasts, or the sudden sound of rustling in the grass in the distance, but when Yan Qingli walked up, he couldn't find anything.
After walking like this for three days, Yan Qingli and Liyan finally met the first living person.
It was an evening, and after Yan Qingli lit a fire, he put the animal meat he got from hunting on a wooden rack for barbecue.
Probably because the aroma of barbecued meat was too much to resist the temptation, so the sound of people talking could be heard from a grove far away from the campfire.
The man was a young man of about thirty years of age, wrapped in clothes sewn from animal skins, and especially a leather skirt made of animal skins, with several strips of leather hanging from the skirts, a necklace of animal teeth hanging from his chest, and a fur hat with a few feathers stuck on his head. , with a leather drum hanging from his waist.
The first time he saw this person, Yan Qingli exclaimed: "This person is dressed like a shaman!" ”
So the young man also praised him after hearing Yan Qingli's exclamation.
"The young man is so well-informed, although my shamanism is now weak, but hundreds of years ago, our shamanism was not inferior to Taoism!" The young man boasted.
Yan Qingli's previous life was very yearning for the Northeast, so he had some understanding of some cultures in the Northeast.
"Shoulder to shoulder, report the man!"
"Yo, I'm still a knowledgeable person. Presser foot vine ......"
"It turned out to be Mr. Ma, don't continue, it won't be later!" Yan Qingli saw that Mr. Ma was about to continue, so he hurriedly greeted and said, and then continued: "Mr. Ma, I don't know what you are doing this time? ”
I saw that the man in the leather dress made a gesture, and arched his hand and said: "In the lower shaman sect Ma Longxing, because he went to the north of the Great Wall to find people, but the person is dead, and during the return to the Great Wall, he encountered a beast tide, and now he is extremely distressed, and he wants Xiaoyou to relieve him." When the grace of dripping water is reciprocated......"
Yan Qingli looked at the young man in front of him and thought about it, weighing the pros and cons. Ma Longxing is very credible, but there are still many doubts, the biggest of which is why he went to the north of the Great Wall to find people, but since Ma Longxing didn't ask himself what he was doing north of the Great Wall, why did he ask others what to do? At first, Yan Qingli didn't want Ma Longxing to stay, but Yan Qingli glanced at the careless departure, and then he felt relieved, so he left Ma Longxing behind.
So Ma Longxing trotted all the way over, and the jewelry on his body collided with each other and made a pleasant sound. He sat down beside him without shame, and then reached out and touched the leg of the roasted snowcock.
Liyan, who had been silent, opened his eyes wide in an instant at this time, and hit Ma Longxing's hand with a "snap".
"That's mine!" Ma Longxing's irresistible anger appeared on his immature face.
So Ma Longxing stretched out his hand to the other chicken leg.
There was another "snap", and he slapped Ma Longxing's hand again.
Ma Longxing looked depressed, "Don't you have one?" ”
"That's just my brother's!" There was still an irresistible anger on his face.
So Ma Longxing then withdrew his hand stupidly, then swallowed his saliva, broke off the neck and head of the roast chicken, and gnawed it with a depressed face.
Yan Qingli walked over and touched Liyan's head, and then broke off the chicken leg and gave it to Ma Longxing.
"Mr. Ma, let's give it to you!"
Ma Longxing looked at the chicken leg in front of him, full of color and flavor, took the chicken leg with both hands, and bit the chicken leg tightly in his mouth without waiting for him to leave. Yan Qingli grabbed the angry Liwu and comforted her with his eyes.
.................
In this way, the three of them walked together until they reached the middle of the evergreen forest.
In the middle of the Evergreen Forest, Yan Qingli walked very carefully, and Ma Longxing's relaxed expression gradually became solemn, and from time to time he had to look at the surrounding mountains and forests and the places where birds and beasts had fled, and then said a few words to the void, as if every moment there was a possibility that another beast or barbarian savage would rush out and kill the three of them.
Only Liwu was the only one with a relaxed expression, wandering around in a wide robe, like an outing. If it weren't for Yan Qingli pulling this happy bird, it is estimated that he would have been separated from the two of them.
It's another day of hurrying, and the evergreen forest is still pine and cypress, but this part of the journey is quieter than before. But the silence here is accompanied by the eyes of the ferocious beasts hidden in the shadows, or the silence of "the birds are more secluded".
The silence is mixed with weirdness, if the senior brother is here, he will definitely say "There is a demonic aura ahead!" ”
The middle section of the Evergreen Forest is naturally the most dangerous section, so there must be a problem, coupled with the very eerie quiet, which makes Yan Qingli very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Ma, do you feel like someone is watching us?" Yan Qingli touched his cold neck and asked Ma Longxing beside him.
"As far as I know, the territory here belongs to the Northland Demon Bear. However, he usually doesn't come out, but his little demon catches ordinary prey to feed the demon bear. Ma Longxing nodded and said solemnly.
As soon as Ma Longxing finished saying this, he suddenly shot at the top of Yan Qingli's head, and at such a close distance, Yan Qingli must have avoided it.
"Careless! It's over, it's dead! Yan Qingli looked at Ma Longxing in front of him and suddenly made a move, without any power to fight back.
But just as Yan Qingli was about to close his eyes, Ma Longxing's hand was withdrawn, holding a small green round-headed snake.
Yan Qingli looked confused, this little snake couldn't even find out about it, it can be seen that its concealment technique is very extraordinary, but Ma Longxing found out, and it can only be said that his detection ability is also top-notch.
Ma Longxing pinched the head of the little green snake with his left hand, pulled out the dagger from his waist with his right hand, cut off the head of the little snake, and threw the little snake on the ground casually.
The despair in Yan Qingli's eyes gradually turned into gratitude, but seeing this kind of look, Ma Longxing smiled slightly.
"Little Brother Yan and my kindness to a meal is unforgettable."
"Mr. Ma, how did you see it, neither of us brother and sister found out." Yan Qingli asked.
But seeing Ma Longxing's face was a little embarrassed, he let go of the curiosity in his heart.
"It's okay, it's okay to talk to Brother Yan. Our shamans are the best at dealing with ghosts and ghosts, and north of the Great Wall was once a sea of corpses and blood, and now countless barbarians and savages have died here. Millions of ghosts are for my use, and the eyes of ghosts are my eyes, and I can see them everywhere except those places where there are high-ranking people guarding them, and where yang energy is strong. ”
Ma Longxing was a little proud as he spoke, because this is a rare supernatural power in shamanism and other sects, except for the Yin God method of the Daomen, there is almost nothing like it.
Yan Qingli was said by Ma Longxing to yearn for it, and he actually wanted to join the shamanism, if it weren't for his thin skin and the shamanism does not accept foreigners, he would have wanted to join the shamanism a long time ago.
"It seems that I am still a shy teenager." When Yan Qingli had the idea of joining the shamanism in his mind, he commented on himself like this.
If Ma Longxing heard Yan Qingli's words, he would definitely want to kill this stinky and shameless thing
