Chapter 35 Tianshui Village
Further southwest, there was no sign of any human population in the Incense Valley, and Lin Zhuo and his party from Qingyunmen, plus Li Xun and several disciples of the Incense Valley, were walking in the vast mountains at this moment.
Looking up, the mountains in the distance are connected and endless, which is the unique landform here in southern Xinjiang. There is an ancient road in front of you, winding forward, and there are strange rocky hills on both sides, far or near. The distant mountain peaks in the sky are connected from afar, and the gloomy dark clouds hang on the top of the high mountain peaks, drifting with the wind.
Li Xun walked at the forefront, playing the role of leading the way, but at this time, he was walking while introducing something to everyone.
"Everyone in the world thinks that the 100,000 mountain monsters are endless, and if you enter, you will definitely die, but only a few people know that between these reckless mountains, there are still a few human races..."
"In addition to the wild alien races in the 100,000 mountains that stretch for thousands of miles in the extreme south, the people who have lived here for generations have roughly five main tribes, namely: Miao, Tu, Zhuang, Li, and Gaoshan. ”
"In terms of population, the Zhuang nationality has the largest number, accounting for almost 40 percent of the total population of southern Xinjiang; in terms of territory, the Miao nationality is the strongest and occupies the most fertile land; in terms of folk customs, the mountain ethnic group with the smallest population is the most fierce. ”
"These five major tribes have lived in this southern frontier for generations. Each of the five tribes has its own language, but for the most part, they communicate with each other in a common language similar to that of Middle-earth. ”
"For many years, there have naturally been times when they communicate with each other and enjoy each other, but there are also contradictions that fight with each other. Long years down. Gradually, a situation was formed in which the five major tribes had their own territory, but their territories were intertwined with each other. ”
"Where the territories of the various tribes meet, there are often villages and towns where people of several tribes live together, and at most five tribes live in the same place at the same time. Intermingling with each other. ”
"The place we are going to this time is located in the border of the Miao, Zhuang, Tu and Gaoshan tribes, and it is also the largest gathering place in this reckless mountains, called... Tianshui Village. ”
"We will rest here for one night, and then set off tomorrow during the day, deep into the 100,000 mountains, to the place where the monster is suppressed..."
Everyone walked slowly, and along the way, the ancient road actually slowly opened up, Xiao Yicai heard this, but he frowned, and asked, "Brother Li, why don't we just fly over, will it save a lot of time in that time?"
When Li Xun heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Wan Jian Yi imperceptibly, and a trace of doubt flashed in the corner of his eyes, but he said: "You don't know, although this is the outermost part of the 100,000 Great Mountain, but the monster has vast magical powers, we should be careful and try not to expose your whereabouts." ”
Xiao Yicai nodded and didn't say anything more.
Behind him, Zeng Shushu and Du Bishu saw this, but they glanced at each other, Zeng Shushu bumped Du Bishu on the shoulder, pouted, and whispered: "Senior Brother Du, what do you think?"
When Du Bishu heard this, he looked up at Wan Jianyi, who was walking in the forefront, and then replied: "How to look, look with your eyes!"
He glanced at Zeng Shushu, and then continued: "You can see the problem, but Master Wan can't see it, since his old man didn't say anything, why don't you just follow with peace of mind." ”
When Zeng Shushu heard this, he grinned at this Du Bishu and didn't say anything more.
The two of them were sneakily looked at by Lin Zhuo, who was walking at the back, but she didn't say anything, just glanced thoughtfully at the people in Incense Valley and frowned.
The sky is hazy, the dark clouds are moving lightly, but Lin Zhuo is quite interested, looking east and west along the way, looking at the scenery of southern Xinjiang, even if it is a desolate barren mountain and ancient road, as long as it is a place she has not been to, in her eyes, it is the most beautiful scenery.
After a chaotic sound, Ash stumbled out of the weeds beside him, covered in dust and weeds, but excited, as if he were very happy.
Lin Zhuo frowned, and looked back at it with disgust, but Wen Min on the side couldn't stand it anymore, bent down and raised his hand to drag it over, and carefully plucked the weeds on its head.
The crowd walked like this for half an hour, and when the sky was getting darker and approaching dusk, they turned a big mountain again, but suddenly there was a clear sight in front of them.
Unlike the mountains that come along the way, there is suddenly a vast flat land, and on the flat land between these mountains, there is a prosperous stockade quietly located here.
From a distance, because it was already dusk, there were already a lot of fireworks in the village, and countless cooking smoke curled up, hiding the whole village in the ethereal.
From a distance, there is a road out of the village in the south, east and west, and four roads pass through the village, dividing the cover into several unequal parts.
Everyone stood on a high place, silently watching the scene in front of them, Li Xun exhaled softly, and said, "We have arrived, this is Tianshui Village, we will stay here tonight." ”
Du Bishu on the side looked at all this, but said with emotion: "If you hadn't come here in person and seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that there would be such a place in this notorious 100,000 mountains." ”
Everyone nodded, but Wan Jianyi had already stepped down and walked straight towards the village, Li Xun saw this, hurriedly followed, and said as he walked: "This place was originally built by the Tu people, and the original site was not here, but on a mountain not far to the west, because of a clear spring at the top of the mountain, it was called Tianshui Village, but later the four tribes bordered. As the population grew, the area became a mixed population. ”
Speaking of this, he raised his hand and pointed to a certain place in the village, and said: "Senior Wan, because there are occasionally merchants from outside the mountain who come here to trade, there is also an inn here to entertain people from outside the mountain, so let's settle there tonight." ”
Wan Jian nodded, indicating that he had no objection, and Li Xun turned his head to the group of Qingyunmen disciples and said: "The people here rarely see foreigners on weekdays, and the customs are completely different from those in Middle Earth. ”
After saying this, he glanced at Xiao Yicai, Xiao Yicai realized and nodded at him.
At this moment, the sky has just darkened, and there are still many pedestrians on the street, coming and going, the surroundings are noisy, and the languages of various ethnic groups are sounding from time to time, which is completely different from the desertion on the ancient road just now.
Everyone walked on the street, and the pedestrians all looked at it with curiosity, but Li Xun seemed to be accustomed to it, and led everyone to a relatively remote attic with a familiar car.
The attic seems to be in disrepair, but on the pillars next to the gate, the word 'inn' is written in crooked Middle-earth script.
In the puzzled gaze of everyone, Li Xun beckoned to the attic, and a young man walked out quickly, looking at Li Xun with joy, and said in a lame Middle-earth language: "Big brother, you... I thought you weren't coming again this year..."
