It is clear that the tribes that have moved to this area are not willing to comply with Emperor Zhuan's new decree. Just as Ba Jun couldn't meddle in the affairs of Shanshui City, it was also difficult for the Chinese Emperor to manage such a remote place, as long as these tribes symbolically expressed their submission and did not openly rebel or invade the Central Plains.

Not far from Thor's territory, the terrain is getting higher, the mountains in front are like obstacles, and there is a narrow valley between the two mountains, like a natural portal. In the middle of the valley is a gravel stream with a bed of water that is barely above your feet in many places, but be careful not to step into the occasional deep pool in the riverbed. For ordinary people, it is impossible to rush here at night.

This river valley is very long, with deep forests and high cliffs on both sides, and it is indeed a choke point. As he walked, Hua Cub introduced to everyone that the road was passable most of the time, and it was best to walk in winter, as the dry riverbed was already exposed in many places.

However, when it rains heavily or flash floods, it is not passable, not only because the muddy water makes it difficult to see the danger in the riverbed, but also because the current is at its highest, even if it is just below the knee, can make it difficult for the cattle to stand on their feet. Through this sentence, we know that there are bison in the mountains in this area, and the Jiuli tribes also raise cattle.

Of course, the speed of wading with the child cannot be too fast, until it is dark, and there is still no end in sight to the winding river valley ahead. At dusk, Hua Cub led them up a gentle hill, and found a small cave at the end of a flat land backed by a high cliff, in which there were traces of a fire, apparently the camp where he had come.

Huwa has lived in the wilderness since she was a child, and of course she knows the scope of activities of the people of various tribes on a daily basis, and the vast majority of the people in the villages in Bayuan also follow the same rules.

Walk as fast as you can, set off at sunrise, and walk as far as you can during the day to reach your next village or safe campsite. If there are no other nearby villages or safe campsites, you have to rush back before dark. Unless it's a group for a large-scale hunt. Ordinary people do not move beyond this area, and most people even live in such an area for the rest of their lives.

With the development of agricultural civilization, people have become less and less engaged in large-scale wild hunting, and as long as they can survive by cultivating fields and raising livestock, they do not have to risk the unpredictable dangers in the mountains and wilderness. Even if it is an organized hunting activity, each tribal village has a traditional fixed range of hunting grounds, which is a familiar area that has been explored by generations of tribesmen.

Obviously, there are very few prey in this river valley, which is not suitable for the traditional hunting grounds of various villages, and there are no people during the day, which means that it is far away from the usual activity areas of the people of nearby villages. It is indeed unlikely that anyone will pass by on weekdays. So it can be inferred from this that I am afraid that only the Fei Li Department will organize people to go out of the river valley every month to worship the god of thunder.

Hua Cub, this child, didn't go far just because he was playful, because it wasn't a place he would reach when he ran far away occasionally, he should have gone to Thor. At the earliest, he may have quietly followed the worship team of the Fei Li Department to find the location of Thor, which was indeed very scheming and had been planned for a long time.

Hua Cub has received so many benefits today, and he is very excited and happy. That night, the roe deer was peeled and washed, roasted and entertained Huwa and others, just like an adult entertaining guests from afar. He also said with a big grin that you don't have to worry too much. In fact, the villages of Jiuli are very hospitable, but because of the influence of legends, they are a little xenophobic.

And although he is not very old, he can be regarded as a very high-status and talkative figure in the village. With him as a guarantee, Huwa and others will be able to enter the village safely. They have no ill intentions, and they have been approved by Lord Thor. The villagers will also be happy to receive them.

muttered: "You just blow it, if there is a cow, you don't blow a pig!"

Hua Cub sneered at each other: "Whether I am blowing skin or not, you will know tomorrow." ”

Blowing is a step in the slaughter of large livestock in a village. After bloodletting and shaving, a tube is inserted into each of the four legs, and the entrance is tied tightly. The position of the tip of the tube is important, and it should be inserted exactly between the flesh and skin. Then find four big men with a lot of air and blow into it, so that the skin and flesh of the livestock are separated, so that it is easy to peel off the whole skin.

This kind of scene often arouses the onlookers of the clansmen, and the four big men blow their cheeks so red that they can blow a pig's whole body into a bulge, like a round ball. Mocking a person for "having a cow but not a pig" is to describe his loud tone, also known as bragging or bragging.

After eating the roe deer meat, Hua cub carefully put away the roe deer skin, and everyone rested by the fire with their backs against the rock wall. The tiger baby quietly said with a divine thought: "Have you found anything about the realm where the thunder god is located?"

Taiyi replied secretly: "There is an ancient battlefield, and in ancient times, there should have been a fierce battle. ”

Hou Gang added: "Xuanyuan defeated Chiyou, and the most important battle was the Battle of Zhuolu, which did not take place here. But Jiuli has a legend that Chiyou threw weapons at Li Mountain. This shows that Chi You may have escaped from the trap after being captured by Xuanyuan, and a fierce battle broke out in this area, and he was finally beheaded by Xuanyuan. ”

Huwa: "The rift valley we walked through was roughly formed naturally, but the section at the entrance seemed to have been forcibly broken by an external force. ”

Hou Gang added: "Whether Chiyou was finally killed here is difficult to find out now. But I can be sure that the so-called battle of Jedi Tiantong back then, the battle between the Benli Department and the Chongchen Clan, the main battlefield was in this area, and all the nearby villages were destroyed. We have traveled this way, and there are still no people. ”

Huwa: "There is a big river in the north, and it is close to the edge of Yunmeng Juze, which has been flooded over the years, and it is indeed unsuitable for human habitation. Later, the Benli tribe moved north to the Jianghuai and separated from the other Jiuli tribes, and there was no one in this area. According to Hua Cub, he had never seen outsiders coming from in any direction, and we were the first to come. ”

Hou Gang: "The northward migration of the Benli Department began in the era of the Gaoyang Heavenly Emperor, at least more than a hundred years ago, almost two hundred years ago. That is to say, the place where the god of thunder is located is indeed rarely passed by again, and only the people of the Fei Li Department go to worship it every month. ”

Taiyi suddenly realized: "What are they looking for, they have been looking for it!"

How could Thor appear in that place, if it hadn't run over on its own, it must have been "stocked" there. Some people took advantage of their habits and talents to collect all kinds of artifacts left behind in this ancient battlefield, and this process lasted for at least a hundred years, even close to two hundred years.

In that area where wild trees are overgrown, swamps are dense, there are miasma and poisonous insects everywhere, and there are also periodic floods every year, which is not suitable for people to live and pass through the area, using Thor to collect all kinds of relics on the ancient battlefield is a very smart choice, and it can also be called a deliberate choice.

Thor doesn't have any other ideas, collecting treasures is his hobby, it can not only fly, but also has excellent eyesight, has a body of mana that can be used to sense artifacts, and has a certain nature or intuition to be close to treasures, and enjoys it every day.

During the day, in its tree hole, the tiger baby saw a fragment of an artifact and a bone of the immortal family, and the owner of this bone judged that the master of the great weapon had cultivated the realm of the Great Instrument Refining Furnace to the extreme.

If Huwa and the others had come two months late, I am afraid that they would not have had the opportunity to see these two treasures again, because they would probably have been taken away by the people of the Fei Li Division. Most of the treasures they saw in the tree hole were actually leftovers that Fei Li picked up every month.

In the past two hundred years, how many such things have been collected by the Fei Li Department using Thor! If this is a means of collecting all kinds of relics on the ancient battlefield, then who arranged it in the first place, and what was the purpose?

The people of the Feili tribe would definitely not do this inexplicably, they believed in the Gu God, and they also claimed to have moved into this place to settle in accordance with the will of the Gu God. It seems to be far away from the rule of the Chinese Son of Heaven and try to avoid conflicts, but I am afraid that there is a plot in secret, and it has been quietly carried out for at least more than a hundred years.

These are not related to the tiger baby, but Hou Gang has to care. Huwa said secretly: "After entering the village, let's secretly investigate and find out what they want to do?"

After a while, the tiger baby got up and went outside to pee. He, the incarnation of the Immortal Yang God, has excellent qualifications, but now he is still an ordinary person who has no cultivation, and he still has to do what he should do. Hua cub pulled out a burning branch from the fire, took the torch and came out, and said, "I'll go with you, be careful of insects and snakes!"

Hua cub did not hold the torch high in his hand, but fanned forward close to the ground, very careful not to light the grass and trees, but the smoke drifted out, and walked a few feet away to the side of the cliff. When the two of them were discharging water side by side, Hua Cub lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "Huwa, are you the head of these people, right?" Among the four of you, your identity is the most noble. ”

Huwa was a little surprised and asked: "They are all good at cultivating, and I am just an ordinary person, how can I be the most noble? That Lord Hou Gang is a great nobleman from China." Don't you look like I'm one of his servants?"

Hua Cub shook his head and said, "If you stand still and don't speak, you are a bit like Lord Hougang's servant, but when something happens, it feels different." To those in the north, our place is poor and dangerous. Since the three of them are so capable, why did they bring you, an ordinary person who has not cultivated, to bring here, isn't it to cause trouble for themselves?

In my opinion, you are the chief, and it is not they who brought you, but you who brought them. It seems that you are all asking questions and making decisions about everything, and they all listen to you, and they are protecting you intentionally or unintentionally. Can you tell me what kind of clan you are from, and what are you here for?" )
