A chapter with an explosive word count.

Take you to appreciate the customs of some ethnic minorities in Yunnan more than 1,300 years ago, and ask for collection and attention.

________________________________________________________

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was bright, and Wuji and Tianzong crept into Feng Jiayi's room, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, their faces full of cunning, and then they sneaked into the stables like thieves.

Feng Jiayi carefully stroked the mane on the horse's back, and said to the horse: "Yuhua Cong, you must not make a sound at this time. ”

When they got out of the city gate, they breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Yan Tianzong took a bite of the rice ball in his hand and said, "I said Brother Feng, is it appropriate for us to hide it from the princess like this?"

Last night, Ning Jia'er heard that they were going to negotiate with the Bai Yi clan, and they had to follow them alive and dead, even if Feng Jiayi explained the stakes to her, she still didn't listen, no matter who persuaded her, it didn't work, so she had to smash the plate and smash the bowl.

In desperation, the three of them had no choice but to make this decision and quietly slipped out of the city.

"It's dangerous, success or failure is unknown, and letting my little sister stay in the city is also for her sake, she will understand. ”

Yan Tianzong nodded, and he also agreed with Feng Jiayi's words, and asked again, "Where should we go first?"

Feng Jiayi scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Actually...... I don't know where the patriarch of the Bai Yi tribe lives. ”

"What?"

"What!"

Indefinite and Tianzong are both shocked.

"I said Brother Feng, I don't have time to laugh at this time. Yan Tianzong looked at him incredulously.

"What I said is true, I really don't know where the nest of the Bai Yi people is. ”

"Then the! Let's go back to the city and sleep. Yan Tianzong yelled and was about to turn around

Feng Jiayi hurriedly stopped him: "Brother, don't worry, I just said that I don't know where they are, it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't know." ”

Tianzong hehehe: "I'll tease you, then let's hurry up and find someone in the know!"

Yan Wuqi said: "I don't understand what Brother Feng said, please tell us about this Bai Yi clan in detail." ”

At that time, although the Nanzhao Kingdom had not yet been fully civilized, because it often communicated with the Tang Dynasty, it was naturally influenced by the culture of the Tang Dynasty.

But the Bai Yi people are different, they are located in the hinterland of Yunnan, they have lived on the "dam" in their mouth for generations, isolated from the world, and therefore retain the most primitive customs and traditions.

The unfriendly Han people on the border often refer to Ge Luofeng as "barbarians", but compared to the Bai Yi people, Ge Luofeng's Nanzhao Kingdom is too advanced and is not a "barbarian" at all.

At the very least, the Nanzhao state has private houses, villages, and even cities, and the establishment of civil and military officials is relatively perfect; looking at the Bai Yi people, they still live in large and small karst caves, neither sowing nor cultivating, and commercial bazaars do not exist, and the means of survival are still mainly wild fruit picking and hunting.

Although Queensland is in the territory of the Bai Yi people, they are not used to living in the city, and only a small number of old and weak women and children will live there.

Before, he was still wondering indefinitely, no matter how small Queensland was, but after all, it was a city, how could it be captured by a ragtag bandit like Li Yuanchun? Hearing Feng Jiayi say this, he completely understood.

Wuji asked again: "Does Brother Feng want to grab a 'tongue' and ask for directions?"

Feng Jiayi laughed: "How come! We are here this time to win them over, and it is unruly to 'scratch the tongue', besides, the various caves of the Bai Yi tribe have always been united, and if they rashly ask for directions, they may not be able to say it." ”

Yan Tianzong frowned and said, "That's really a bit tricky!"

Wuji didn't think so, he knew that Feng Jia had always been calm, and now that he was smiling so calmly, he must have had a countermeasure a long time ago.

Sure enough, I only heard Feng Jiayi say: "In the edge of the Bai Yi tribe, near the direction of Yaozhou, there is a 'Niutou Mountain', there are two branches of the Bai Yi tribe in the mountain, one of them lives in the 'green pothos cave', their cave owner is named 'Hua Gu', who has been my friend for many years, let's go find her first." ”

Tianzong laughed, and said with a big grin: "Brother Feng has an acquaintance, why didn't you say it earlier, it will cause me to worry in vain." ”

"You didn't ask me before!"

Wuji became curious again, and asked, "Didn't you say that the Bai Yi clan was not under your father's control, and how did you have good friends again?"

"Haha! Brother Yan is angry! The whole world is a friend, and all the corners of the world are brothers, so why do you care about any race and national boundaries! Although you and I are not the same country, we are still brothers who have lived for a lifetime, right?"

Yan Wuqi only knew that Brother Feng loved to make friends, but he didn't expect him to have such an open-mindedness, compared to him, he was really a little family.

Feng Jiayi scratched his head again and said shyly: "Moreover, the name of this pothos cave master is ...... with me."

"What about you?"

Indefinite looked at him with interest.

Prince Feng smiled bitterly: "Hey! You'll know when you arrive!"

The Bazi area is vertical and horizontal, there are many streams, fortunately, the three of them are all Yunnan local bred "Yunnan horse", although the horse is not very fast, but good at climbing, endurance is also excellent.

However, in half a day, the three of them arrived at the foot of Niutou Mountain, only to see the clouds and mist in front of them, hazy, and the towering ancient trees that can be seen everywhere are green and shiny, and they are refreshing.

Compared with the Central Plains Immortal Mountain, which is often visited by literati and ink writers, it is so primitive and exceptionally pure.

The three of them shuttled through the woods, riding upwards all the way, and Feng Jia stopped from time to time to look around, looking for a reference from the previous climb up the mountain.

But the mountain seemed to have no end, and they had been walking for almost an afternoon from the foot of the mountain.

"Brother Feng, are you okay?" Tianzong was very bored, and complained while swinging his sword to cut the thorns around him.

"I'm not looking for a way. ”

"Looking for a way, haven't you been here?"

"Don't mention it, every time I came before, they greeted me at the bottom of the mountain, and it was the first time I ...... so rashly groping."

"Huh?" Yan Tianzong patted his head and shook his head helplessly.

"Wait!" Yan Wuzhi suddenly stopped, "Look, didn't this branch be cut down by Tianzong just now?"

Tianzong jumped off his horse and took a closer look.

Really!

"Oh my God! we're lost......"

"Don't panic just yet. ”

Feng Jiayi was still calm, he took out a rhinoceros horn from the side of the saddle and blew it "whining". "Let's just wait where we are, and maybe my friend will hear the trumpet. ”

After a day's journey, the three of them were also hungry, so they sat on the ground and nibbled on dry food, and after about half an hour, Yan Wuji stood up violently and said, "Someone is coming!"

"About twenty people, walking fast. Tianzong also heard footsteps.

"What's the matter, why can't I see?" Feng Jiayi had never learned internal skills, and his hearing and eyesight were not as good as them.

As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard the sound of "rustling" in the nearby bushes—

A group of "wild men" dressed in animal skins and holding simple spears appeared beside them coldly.

The leader was a woman, dressed very revealingly, and I saw her face painted with all kinds of bells and whistles, and asked loudly in Nanzhao, "Who are you?"

"I am Feng Jiayi, a friend of your master. ”

"Abba Baba Aba. ”

A lean man next to the woman opened his mouth and "said" to her for a long time.

"Dumb cave man!" Feng Jiayi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

They are not from the pothos cave, but another tribe on Niutou Mountain, a barbarian tribe that feeds on snakes, insects, rats and ants!

The woman roared, "Our king has never known anyone who lives in a bamboo cage, much less a man who wears a skirt. They called the Nanzhao people "people who lived in bamboo cages" and the Han people "people who wore skirts."

Feng Jiayi was the prince of a country after all, and he forced himself to calm down, and scolded the woman in the lead: "It was the King of Wutu who invited me! You dare to stop me? Be careful that she picks your skin!"

"Abba Baba Aba. ”

The lean man "spoke" a few more words.

The leading woman thought about it for a while, and finally put down the spear in her hand and said, "You guys come with me." ”

"Hmph, you guys are so unreasonable to me, I'm not going!" Feng Jiayi said this, turned the horse's head and was about to go back, although Wu Ji couldn't understand what they said, but seeing that Brother Feng was like this, he did so.

"Abaaba, Aba, Aba!"

Suddenly, all the people in animal skins took off their wooden bows, mounted fishbone arrows, and aimed them at Prince Feng.

"Either follow me to the Vultures, or I'll kill you now. The woman in the lead said grimly.

"Do you want to do it? They can't get faster than my sword. "Yan Tianzong is not good at stubble, he is asking for Brother Feng's opinion.

"We're here to win them over, don't do it yet. After Feng Jiayi said this, he turned his head and rushed to the woman, and said, "I'm going to see the king of Wutu, you can lead the way!"

The woman arrogantly walked up to Yan Wuji, slashed twice at the hem of his skirt with a dagger sharpened from animal bones, rudely cut off three strips of cloth, and motioned for them to blindfold.

All three of them did the same.

"It's bad, it's bad! I ran to the place of the dumb hole in a daze. Feng Jiayi whispered in the Central Plains dialect, he was just pretending to be calm just now, the dumb cave is not as good as the pothos cave, this is an extremely barbaric tribe, and cannibalism often happens.

"Dumb Cave?" Tianzong remembered the lean man just now, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the people of this tribe are all dumb?"

"Well, more than half of them don't speak. ”

Yan Wuji knew that mute would not be hereditary, and there must be a reason why so many people couldn't speak, so he quietly asked Brother Feng: "Are they born to speak?"

"No, they were able to speak when they were young, but somehow, as they grew older, their voices gradually deteriorated, and everyone's situation was different, some of them were slurred, and some of them couldn't speak at all, and it was rare for the woman in the lead to speak so clearly. ”

Hearing him say this, he became more and more curious.

After walking for about half an hour, they heard the sound of running water, and after a while, they felt a curtain of rain poured over their heads, and the air suddenly became much more humid, and occasionally droplets of water fell from it, and splashed on the stones with a "click".

"A cave hidden under a waterfall?" Yan Wuji thought to himself.

At this moment, the strip of cloth was removed from the eyes of the three of them, and they looked around indefinitely—it was really a big cave. There is stagnant water everywhere in the cave, there are a few stones scattered on the water, it is convenient to pass people, the twists and turns of the karst cave are infiltrated by the underground river all the year round, and rush out of three or five tunnels, and there are caves at the end of the tunnel to connect with it, it can be said that the slightest thread is connected with the buckle ring.

Wu Ji thought to himself: "This cave is like a labyrinth, you can't run out for a while, and if you really fight, you can only kill yourself." ”

Directly in front of the three of them was a huge stone with a bonfire lit on it, and seven or eight people were surrounding the stone, baking something.

I saw two people, one tall and one short, slowly standing up, the cave was dim and claustrophobic, and it was impossible to see whether it was a man or a woman.

"I know you?" was a woman's voice.

Wuji wondered in his heart, this place is really strange, why are the leaders all women?

Feng Jiayi did not answer.

The woman stepped on the stone, slowly and leisurely, and then she was able to see her face clearly, it was a woman with outward teeth, a slightly ugly appearance, and she was followed by a person, a man with a big and three thick, long and flat head, who was not very smart when he looked at it.

When they got closer, they found that both of them were holding a long snake that had been roasted in their hands, sucking it deliciously.

Eat snake meat!

Even if you really eat snake meat, how can you eat it like this? You don't peel the skin, you don't break your belly, you just roast it!

It's already at this time, and there's no point in making it up any longer, Feng Jiayi bowed to the woman and said, "Nanzhao Prince Feng Jiayi has seen the King of Wutu. ”

"What? are you here to attack me?" said the Vulture Queen playfully.

"I'm here to ask the King of Ultures for help. ”

"It's ridiculous, you and I have nothing to do with each other, why should I help you?"

As soon as Queen Wutu finished saying this, the rough man behind him immediately pulled out his sword, and it turned out to be an iron weapon, it seems that he is also a person with status in the clan,

"Abaaba!"

The queen interrupted him with a wave of her hand, turned her head, and roared at the top of her voice, and the man immediately crouched on the ground like a docile puppy, licking her heels.

Yan Tianzong secretly laughed: "This can all be communicated?"

The queen of the vultures instructed the man: "Chop off one of their arms, and send them back to Ge Luofeng." ”

"What!" Feng Jiayi was taken aback, and immediately wanted to draw his sword to defend himself, but his hands were tied, and he was at a loss for a moment, and his forehead was soaked with beads of sweat the size of beans.

"Brother, run!" Feng Jiayi hurriedly shouted.

Yan Wuzhi flipped over his head one by one, crossed the vultures queen, and landed directly beside the rough man, who was still squatting on the ground, and was locked by his throat indefinitely before he could get up.

Long before entering the cave, Yan Wuzhi secretly broke free from the rope.

Wuji grabbed his throat with one hand, and the other hand was not idle, and with a "crak" easily unloaded his arm.

The men and women near the campfire drew their shoddy blades and rushed to this side, but the road was so narrow that only one person could pass at a time, and the stones under their feet were soaked by the dark river all the year round, and they were unusually smooth, so they did not rush quickly.

"Give me 'Pure Heart Jasper Scatter'!" shouted indefinitely.

Qingxin Jasper Powder is an antidote medicine prepared by Su Jianyi, mainly bezoar and musk, supplemented by dendrobium, borneol, chicken gold and other cool medicines, and then boiled with rootless dew, which can solve all kinds of poisons in the world, even if it encounters strange heavy poisons, although it cannot be lifted, it can also be diluted and alleviated.

"Oh~Oh~" Yan Tianzong also broke free from the rope a long time ago, hurriedly touched into the cuffs, took out a white porcelain vase casually, and threw it towards Wuji.

Indefinite pinched the man's cheek, and when he opened his mouth, he poured some of the contents of the white porcelain vase into it.

"What did you give him!" the Vulture Queen yelled hysterically.

"Something that saved his life. ”

Wuji said to Feng Jiayi: "Brother Feng will help me translate." ”

"Snakes, insects, rats, ants, these things are slightly poisonous, it doesn't matter if you eat them once or twice, you will have problems if you feed on them all year round, your vocal cords are damaged because of it, and there are ......" Wuji pointed to the "strange" people around him, and said: "They look so deformed, it is also a side effect of insect venom." ”

Although there were no terms such as "bacteria" and "microorganisms" in that era, sophisticated Chinese medicine practitioners knew that there were some "living things" in the human body that could not be seen by the naked eye.

The Vulture Queen calmed down for a moment and exclaimed, "How do I know if what you thief said is true or false!"

"The three of us are here, and if this man doesn't get better, you can do it. ”

Feng Jia looked at Wuji with a strange heart, and asked secretly, "Okay?"

Wu Ji spread his hands and said indifferently: "I'm also half-guessing and half-ignoring, if it doesn't work, I'll hit it." ”

“......”

At this moment, the rough man who had just been fed Qingxin Jade Powder by Indefinite Force only felt that his lower abdomen was squirming, and he panicked to find a place to relieve himself.

After a long while, he came back hobbled back as if he had collapsed, but his face was full of joy: "I... It's so comfortable... Cool. ”

He's able to speak, but he's not very fluent.

"Prince Feng saved our clan, and I will listen to you from now on!" the Vulture Queen was about to cry with excitement.

At this moment, the sound of a thunderclap and a fight came from behind everyone, and when everyone was looking back, another extremely sweet female voice came.

"Where is Brother Feng? The old witch will hand over my Brother Feng quickly!"

He was dressed in clothes woven of green reeds, a headband made of flowers, a pair of bamboo and wood sandals, and his bare arms were whiter and more tender than mutton fat jade.

A beautiful woman in her twenties appeared in front of everyone.

Yan Tianzong opened his mouth wide, and stumbled: "She... She's a fairy. ”
