"What are you three talking about?" said Ge Luofeng, who came out of the cave with brisk steps, looking very happy.

"Brother Feng!" Hua Gu called affectionately.

Yan Wuzhi replied casually: "I didn't say anything, Hua Gu briefly told us about some customs here." He put away his thoughts and asked again: "Seeing that Brother Feng is so happy, the people in the dumb cave have all been arranged, right?"

Feng Jiayi laughed: "Yes, I have asked Wutu to take her people to guard the gourd mouth at the foot of the mountain, this is the place where the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Route Army must pass, if they dare to attack, they will definitely go and never return!"

Yan Wuzhi said worriedly: "There are only about 1,000 people who can fight in the Dumb Cave, even if they have the advantage of terrain, if the Tang army attacks in turn with crowd tactics, I am afraid it will be difficult to last." ”

"Brother Yan is right, so I didn't let them defend it, as soon as I saw that the momentum was not right, just retreat to the mountain at any time, as long as I can drag the Tang army tired, it will be won, and ......" Feng Jiayi paused, and said with a smile: "Queen Wutu also has a cousin, who is also a tribal leader of the Bai Yi tribe, not too far from here, Wutu said that she is very sure that she can persuade this cousin to guard the gourd mouth for me." ”

"It's another old witch from Jirong Creek down the mountain, right?" Hua Gu glanced at him, and her words were full of contempt.

"Hua Gu!" Feng Jiayi just wanted to reprimand and asked her to pay attention to the tone of her voice, but when she saw her pitiful appearance, her heart suddenly softened, "They are all working for my Nanzhao now, and they will be a family in the future, and they must live together in harmony." ”

"Hmph! Brother Feng is eccentric, it's just a small gourd mouth, I can also keep it. ”

Feng Jiayi glanced at her gently, both grateful and indebted, he thought: "How can I, Feng Jiayi, have such a confidante, and I am willing to help me at a critical moment." Immediately said: "Don't worry, Hua Gu, your arrow-making technology in the pothos cave is top-notch among the Bai Yi people, and it will inevitably trouble you then." ”

Hua Gu smiled sweetly: "It's pretty much the same." ”

In less than a day, we have won over three Bai Yi tribes, and if we continue like this, there is no need to find any big patriarchs. Yan Tianzong rode on the horse and said proudly.

"You little slippery head is talking nonsense! There are more than 40,000 people in our Bai Yi clan, spread all over the thirty-six caves and seventy-two streams, and after Brother Feng has all negotiated, the battle should be over, so we still have to go to see the big patriarch. ”

Tianzong hurriedly urged: "Then what are you waiting for, Sister Hua quickly take us to see this great patriarch!"

"Not now, I have to get Mochizuki the day. ”

The ancients called the first day of the month "Shuo", the middle of the month as "Wang", and the last day as "Obscurity".

He had always been interested in such things, so he asked, "Why do you have to wait until the fifteenth day of the month to go?"

Prince Feng and Yan Tianzong were also anxious to know the answer.

"The Great Patriarch lives on the island in the middle of the lake in Dianchi Lake, where the fog is thick on the fifteenth day of every month, and only then can we go in. ”

Hearing her say this, Wu Ji became more and more dazed, "When you go to the sea by boat to find the wind and the sun, how can anyone wait until the fog rises?"

"You don't know this, the islands in the lake are dotted, the reefs are numerous, so cold past, you can't find the residence of the great patriarch at all, this is just one of them; in order not to be disturbed by outsiders, the great patriarch has arranged many sentinels in various places in the lake, all of them are strange people with strong martial arts, and those who dare to trespass will be executed on the spot, this is the second; the most terrible is still to come, it is said that there are two monsters at the bottom of the Dianchi Lake, which eat people who break into the island in the middle of the lake!"

"Monsters, fake, right?, what kind of monsters are there in the world!" Yan Tianzong looked incredulous.

Wuji's mind is more mature than Tianzong, and he cares about the sentinels mentioned by Hua Gu before. "Since there are many martial arts masters who work hard for the great patriarch, then she will also do martial arts?"

Hua Gu said proudly: "The great patriarch is not only good at martial arts! The people say that in the whole of Yunnan, only Brother Feng's second grandfather can barely suppress him. ”

"Meng Chongyi?!" Tianzong exclaimed.

Since the last time he fought him in Shelong Pavilion, Tianzong has always had a shadow in his heart, so he shook his head and complained: "It's difficult to do now...... There is another master of the same level as the master......"

Wuji asked: "But Sister Hua, you still haven't explained, why can you enter the island on the fifteenth day of every month?"

Although the great patriarch did not want to be disturbed by outsiders, after all, she was in charge of the entire clan, so she made a rule that on the fifteenth day of the month, the guards would be removed, and people would be sent to wait on the shore, and they would be responsible for attracting the visiting tribal leaders, because there was always a heavy fog on that day, and the people who entered the island would not be able to find their way next time. ”

Wu Ji sighed in his heart: "What a clever method!"

"According to the rules of your Chu Yi clan, the great patriarch is also a woman, right?" Yan Tianzong was anxious to know all the information about this mysterious master.

"The patriarch is also a woman, and her name is Qiu Ningshui. ”

Yan Tianzong he: "Qiu Ningshui, listening to this name, she looks like a gentle person, does she have a good temper?"

"This ......" Hua Gu hesitated, "It's not easy to say, anyway, she is very kind to our people, but Brother Feng often says that she is very fierce." ”

Feng Jiayi hurriedly interjected: "I have never met this great patriarch, I have heard what my second grandfather said. ”

"Since Meng Chongyi said it, it must be the opposite!" Yan Tianzong was really disgusted with Meng Chongyi, he grinned, and asked again: "Is she beautiful in this autumn condensation, is she like Sister Fairy, or like Queen Wutu?"

"She's about the same age as my mother, and she's not pretty or ugly. ”

"Ahh

"Okay, let's get down to business, today is the ninth day of the lunar month, and there are still a few days before Mochiyue, why don't you go to Hua Gu's place to disturb for two days, and then set off, do the two brothers think it's okay?" Feng Jiayi looked at Wuji, asking for their opinions.

"Don't bother, don't bother. Hua Gu smiled like a flower, and happily agreed, she wished she could get along with Feng Jia Yi for a few more days.

Yan Wuji and Tianzong are all guests as they wish, and it doesn't matter where they go.

"Okay, then let's go to the pothos cave first. ”

"I'll lead the way to the front. Hua Gu's eyebrows were picturesque, and she was unusually excited.

————————————————————

The pothos cave is on the other side of Niutou Mountain, not far from the dumb cave.

Hua Gu really did not exaggerate, the pothos cave is far from the structure of the layout, or the habitat environment is far from the dumb cave can be compared, here is neither gloomy nor obscure, although there is flowing water in the hole, but because of good ventilation, do not feel damp, but very cool, from time to time there is a refreshing fragrance of flowers.

The surrounding mountain walls are covered with all kinds of vines and branches, stone beds and stone chairs, and the corners of the cave are scattered with dazzling colorful light.

This is a tribe of barbarians! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a place where immortals live in seclusion.

"Wow!" Yan Tianzong looked left and right, and there were bursts of admiration in his mouth.

"Sister Hua, what's that glittering thing?" asked Wuji.

"Crystal mica or something like that. Hua Gu replied lightly.

Yan Tianzong's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity: "What! So many gems! Isn't that fairy sister very rich?"

"Hehe, our people are self-sufficient, you can eat gazelle meat when you are hungry, you can have your own fruit wine when you are thirsty, and you can make clothes with reeds when you are cold, what's the use of asking for money?"

Yan Tianzong laughed and flattered Hua Gu with a stinky fart: "Sister is really a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world." ”

"You little ghost!" Hua Gu tapped his forehead with her fingertips.

At this moment, I only heard the sound of two frogs screaming from "coo" and "coo", "pop" -

A small thing fell on Hua Gu's shoulder, she touched it gently, and said softly: "Little stone, I'm not at home, you're naughty again, aren't you?"

They heard another croaking of frogs, but they saw nothing.

"On the fairy sister's shoulder!" Yan Tianzong shouted. After following the prestige for an infinite time, I saw a small pure green frog lying quietly on Hua Gu's shoulder, which blended in with her clothes.

"Shhh~ Be quiet, it's shy, don't scare it away. Hua Gu touched the little frog and said, "This is my domesticated red-eyed poisonous frog, its name is Little Stone." ”

"Ah, is it poisonous?" Yan Tianzong heard the word poisonous frog and hurriedly took two steps back.

Hua Gu grabbed him and said, "Don't be afraid, the little stone is very human, and it never attacks my friends." ”

When he was a child, he often caught frogs by the river, but he was not as scared as Tianzong, he took a closer look, and asked very puzzled: "Sister Hua, this little frog is green all over, why is it called 'red-eyed poisonous frog'?"

"Look here. Hua Gu pointed to the little frog's bulging eyelids, "When they encounter a threat and are ready to release poison, they will turn blood-colored here, so they are called red eyes." ”

Hearing her say this, Tianzong was no longer afraid, and stretched out his hand to touch it tentatively, and the little frog only "cooed", which seemed to be very useful.

"What a cute little thing!"

Hua Gu said proudly: "The little stone can not only apply poison, but also travel long distances, parallel waterways, and can run hundreds of miles a day!"

Wu Ji was dumbfounded when he heard it, and secretly sighed that there was nothing strange in the whole world.

"Sit down, I'll fetch a pot of fruit wine. ”

————————————————————————

Happy times are always short-lived, and the fairy-like life in the pothos cave is over in a blink of an eye.

On the fourteenth day of the lunar month, in the early morning, everyone set off to the Dianchi ferry.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, in the evening, the group arrived at the shore on time, and the fog in the lake was hazy.

There was a lighthouse three zhang away from them, Hua Gu went up and lit a bonfire, and said to Feng Jiayi beside her: "Brother Feng is waiting, the great patriarch will send someone to pick us up in a while." ”

Sure enough, after about two quarters of an hour, there was a flickering light in the mist, as if the stars were twinkling, and after a stick of incense, two men dressed as fishermen, each holding a small boat, swayed, and the light that had been given by the torches tied to the bow of the boat.

The boatman chattered and said a word of Nanzhao.

Hua Gu also replied in Nan Zhao.

"That's their code word. Feng Jiayi approached Wuji and explained to them.

So saying, the boatman came to shore and beckoned them to come aboard.

Hua Gu whispered to Yan Tianzong: "You two must not speak! A few days ago, the Tang army broke through Queensland City and killed many of our clansmen, and the great patriarch was angry." ”

They knew about it, and they understood the stakes, so they nodded vigorously.

The fog became thicker and thicker the people walked, and they couldn't tell the direction anyway, and if they came, they were safe, Feng Jiayi and they were busy taking a nap, but Hua Gu was very excited to chat with the two boatmen about trivial parents.

"Hmm, the boat stopped...... "Indefinite silently remembered the time of the boat in his heart, so as to estimate the distance from the shore to here.

They went ashore and followed one of the fishermen along the path to the depths of the island, where the darkness was so heavy that they could not estimate the size of the island.

I only know that there are many boulders on both sides of the path, and I can vaguely see that among the rubble, there are some triangular low tents made of leather felt.

The Bai Yi are nocturnal and rest with the sunset, when most of them are already asleep, and there is occasional snoring from the tents.

Walking further, I saw a forest of pavilions and pavilions, and Feng Jiayi was secretly shocked in his heart: "How can the architectural style here be so similar to the palace?"

Hua Gu had never been to Taihe City, so naturally she didn't think there was anything wrong.

The fisherman who led the way stopped in front of a huge three-story bamboo building, and said to Hua Gu: "The patriarch is inside, and the master of the flower cave will go in by himself." ”

Hua Gu thanked the man, and took Feng Jiayi to one of the halls with a familiar car, although there were Bai Yi soldiers wearing rattan armor standing guard in the corridor, but no one searched her body, and the reason for this could be thought of indefinitely, Qiu Ningshui's martial arts were so powerful, and she was naturally not afraid of others assassinating her.

Hua Gu pushed the door and entered.

Sitting on the high position in front of her was a beautiful woman wearing a Nanzhao brocade robe, graceful and luxurious, who was also thirty years old, but... It looks a little frivolous, her fragrant shoulders are half exposed, the collar is very low, the lower skirt slit is also very high, a pair of jade legs are slender, and she is even barefoot......

Hua Gu lowered her head and greeted the man.

Feng Jiayi was shocked again: "She is Qiu Ningshui?" Hua Gu said that she is already forty years old, but how can she look about the same age as me?"

The same thought also appeared in the minds of Wuji and Tianzong, and both of them also followed the example of Hua Gu, bowing their heads.

Wu Ji secretly glanced around with his afterglow, several lamps were covered with pink veils, emitting an ambiguous light, and there were several pictures of beauties hanging on the bamboo wall, and the characters in the paintings were also dressed in revealing clothes and indecent postures.

Suddenly, there was a rich fragrance from above, but it was not the refreshing floral fragrance of the pothos cave, it seemed to be an exotic spice, in short, it was strange.

Uncle Qin told Wu Ji when he was a child, "Suddenly encounter dark incense, beware of it".

There is a special method to teach people to keep their minds in the "Gaitian Decision" given by the master, and he has indefinitely memorized the exercises, using his internal strength on his fingertips, and secretly clicked twice on the Shenting acupoints and temples, and suddenly felt that there were two warm currents flowing out of the dantian, frantically pouring into these two acupoints, although the mind was swollen and painful, but the mind was extremely clear.

It's just that...... The first time he used it, the intensity was a little too strong, and the feeling of heat spread all over his body from top to bottom.

After Hua Gu and Qiu Ningshui talked for a few words, they looked at Feng Jiayi.

Prince Feng raised his head, faced Qiu Ningshui, and said, "Yes! I am Feng Jiayi, the prince of Nanzhao Kingdom. ”

Qiu Ningshui looked him up and down, and laughed coldly, laughing very unnaturally. "Your father is Ge Luofeng, and your mother is from the Langqiong clan, and she is called Mrs. Zhu Ning, right?"

Feng Jiayi wondered in her heart, her father was the king of Nanzhao, she knew what it was called, and it was reasonable, but why did she still know her mother's name?

Feng Jia bowed and replied, "The Great Patriarch is right. ”

Qiu Ningshui sneered again, which was even more creepy.

Suddenly, Yan Tianzong, Feng Jiayi, and Hua Gu fell down uncontrollably as if they were drunk, and Yan Wuzhi protected his mind with the Heaven Cover, but he also pretended to be them and deliberately planted them on the ground.

"Hmph, how does my 'drunken dream die' drug taste?" Qiu Ningshui said in Chinese! She stood up suddenly, she was not dressed tightly, and when she was so dressed, her clothes slipped down a little more, and her entire shoulders were exposed.

"Although my mind is very clear, I can't move if I want to, I can't open my mouth or open my eyes, am I right?" Qiu Ningshui twisted his waist like a water snake and walked to everyone.

She kicked Feng Jiayi fiercely: "Zhu Ning, that slut's son, actually ran to me to die...... Hahahaha, it's really an eye-opener, you Montessori deserve to die!"

Thirty years ago, Feng Jiayi's grandfather Pi Luo Ge unified the six edicts meritorious, Tang Xuanzong gave the name "Meng Guiyi", and his younger brother Yan Ge was given the name "Meng Chongyi".

"Meng's surname" is the name given to them by the Tang Dynasty, and people of their own nationality still like to call them by their original names.

Feng Jiayi heard her words clearly, and she couldn't move when she thought about resisting.

Qiu Ningshui squatted on the ground and said to Aunt Hua: "And you, a fox, are really bold and reckless, you dare to bring Meng Shezhao and the people of the Tang Kingdom to me without permission, if it weren't for your dead mother's face, I would have killed you now." ”

Wuji was surprised in his heart: "Tianzong and I didn't speak from beginning to end, and we were also wearing the clothes of Nanzhao people, how did she recognize that we were from the Central Plains?"

Qiu Ningshui clapped his palms, and two guards immediately came in outside the door.

"Throw the little mongrel of Meng Shezhao into the kitchen, wash it and marinate it, and keep it for my pet to eat, and as for this fox, let Ah Er send her back to the ferry. ”

After Qiu Ningshui finished speaking, he looked at Wuji and Tianzong with a smile, patted their cheeks lightly, and said, "These two little white faces of the Tang Kingdom...... Carried to my room, the old lady let them get drunk and dreamed of death. ”
