The laughter woke up the Qiang people who were dreaming, and for a while, the originally dim tribe became brightly lit, and countless figures rushed towards Tan Shaobai's location.

The golden light flashed away, and Tan Shaobai used the power of God to disperse his tears. Looking at the rapidly approaching figure, he said to himself, "Now is not the time to deal with you, you wait." The figure flashed and disappeared into place. When the Qiang masters found the mountain, they found nothing, and in the middle of the night, everything had returned to peace.

In the early morning, Hongji opened his eyes, and a night of cultivation refreshed him and full of Buddha energy. Looking to the side, the little ghost also woke up, and the two glanced at each other, but neither made a sound, because they found that Tan Shaobai was still in a state of calm.

Hongzhi was surprised to find that Tan Shaobai, who was in a state of cultivation, had an unusually cold face, and his whole body exuded a faint golden flame, and from the perspective of temperament, it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost. Feeling Tan Shaobai's changes, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said to the little wit: "Tan Shaobai seems to be different, usually the mana exuded from his body will give people a very mellow feeling, why is it full of killing aura today, little wit, do you know what's going on? Tan Shaobai is practicing the exercises passed down from your ancestors, you should know something." ”

Xiao Jiling shook his head and said, "I don't know, Tan Shaobai is practicing the exercises of his unknown master, and he hasn't even cultivated the old ancestor, so I don't know it either." ”

Hongzhi patted his stomach and said, "I'm hungry, let's go, let's go out and see if anyone brings food, and wait for Tan Shaobai to wake up and ask him." ”

The little ghost nodded, and the one person and the monkey carefully opened the door and walked out. As soon as they left, Tan Shaobai opened his eyes, his eyes were a little misty, and he looked at the door, his eyes flashed with cold light. Floated to the ground, pulled up his sleeves, looked at the dragon shape on his right arm that had turned dark purple, and said lightly: "Lao Hong, thank you for your comfort, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Although the Qiang people don't pay attention to small ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang like the Yi people at all, they still manage the food, but the real thing is rougher. The people of the Yi nationality usually eat almost that, for them, as long as they can eat enough, they don't have too many opinions. But Hongji and Little Clever are different. They are used to eating delicious food, eating these things that are similar to chaff, how can they swallow it, yesterday's food was better than today's, and they made up the goods, but today they looked at these pimples in front of them, but it was difficult to swallow.

Hongzhi said: "Little clever, I can't stand it, let's go back and find the eldest brother." He's got a lot of food there, and it's much better than that. ”

The little ghost nodded and said, "Go back and wait for Shaobai to wake up." I'd rather be hungry for a while than eat any of these things. As he spoke, the two of them were about to walk back. At this time, the door of the ethereal and water-stopping room opened, and the two daughters walked out at the same time. Miao Miao looked very haggard today, her pretty face had lost its brilliance, her big eyes that were originally aura were dim, and she looked preoccupied with her water.

Hongzhi smiled, greeted him, and said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? listless, this food is too unpalatable today, let's go, let's find the eldest brother, he still has stock there." Miao Miao and Zhishui glanced at each other, shook their heads, and said, "No, we're not hungry, you can go by yourself." Shaobai, he's okay. ”

Hongzhi shook his head and said, "Big brother, he's okay, what can he do? It's just that I feel it today that his mana seems to have changed somewhat." There seems to be a hidden murderous intention. However, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, I guess he is like this because he thought of some way to make trouble here. ”

The ethereal and delicate body shook slightly, and she didn't say anything, just stood at the door of her room and looked at the sky in the distance, the contrast between the calm on the surface and the sadness in her heart was stark, and her heart hurt so much. When she came back last night, she didn't sleep all night, just sat on the bed in a daze. Zhishui woke up in the morning to find her changes and hurriedly inquired, and when she learned that Tan Shaobai and Miao had turned their faces, she couldn't help but be shocked. In her mind, Tan Shaobai and Miao have a deep relationship, and they are by no means so prone to cracks, but for the sake of this matter, it has led to such serious consequences, which she did not expect.

Hongji didn't seem to be willing to talk to the two of them anymore, and he didn't want to be bored anymore, so he took the little ghost back to the room.

Zhishui sent a voice to Miao Miao: "Senior sister, don't be sad. Otherwise, I'll accompany you to find Tan Shaobai. I think if you say a few soft words, you will be able to get back together with him. ”

A wry smile hung on Miao Miao's face, shook his head, and said, "Shaobai did a great job yesterday, and he didn't even leave a little way back." We had completely different opinions, and I thought he was very wrong, but he never admitted that he was wrong. I couldn't convince myself to go along with him. He won't change himself either. Even if I went to him, it would be useless. ”

Zhishui lowered his head and said, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have told you about that incident at all, if you didn't know, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened." ”

Miao Miao sighed lightly: "How can I blame you for this matter, you are a victim! But junior sister, I'm afraid there is no way for Shaobai to take the initiative to apologize to you." And I can't force him now.

Zhishui shook his head and said, "Forget it, I said, I didn't hate him in the first place." I just hope that the relationship between you will not be affected by me. ”

As soon as Hongji and Little Clever opened the door, they were startled. Because, Tan Shaobai was standing at the door, and they almost collided with him when they opened the door and entered the room. Hongji said, "Boss, what are you doing?"

Tan Shaobai smiled slightly and said, "I want to eat the food of the Central Plains." I have taken it out of the Qiankun Ring for you, and on the bed, go take it and eat it yourself. ”

Hongji and Little Ghost cheered at the same time, and they both threw themselves into the bed at the same time. Tan Shaobai's ears moved slightly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "There are outsiders coming here, you eat first, I'll go out and have a look." As he spoke, without waiting for the two of them to answer, they had already pushed the door out. Hongji and Little Clever are eating happily, and they can't care about anything else. This was the first delicious meal they had since they entered southern Xinjiang!

Tan Shaobai walked out of the room, and at a glance he saw the ethereal and the water, he didn't say anything, just looked at the Qiang tribe. Yesterday the tall young man came over with two fighters. He walked directly to Yue Ni's side and said, "Patriarch of the Yi Nationality, today is the Flame Festival of our Qiang Nationality, and there is a grand bonfire party after dark in the evening. The chiefs of all the clans have almost arrived, so you should bring your own people with you in the evening. Today's bonfire party is a family party, if your clan is interested, men under the age of 30 and unmarried women under the age of 25 can participate, but if you Yi women participate, you can only appear at the front of the line, understand. Also, tomorrow morning, someone will invite you to the meeting of the patriarchs. ”

Yu Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for coming to tell you, we will definitely participate in the evening." ”

The tall young man nodded, glanced in the direction of the ethereal and the water, and turned away with his men.

Their conversation clearly came into Tan Shaobai's ears, Tan Shaobai clenched his fists and muttered, "Is there a bonfire party?" It seems that this is an opportunity. He strode up to Yue Ni and asked, "Patriarch, what did that kid mean by robbing relatives just now, and what does the Fire Festival mean?"

Yu Ni had just had breakfast, glanced at Tan Shaobai, and said, "Actually, this has nothing to do with our Yi nationality at all, we are just watching the ceremony at most." The Qiang are a people who believe in fire. The Festival of Fire is a traditional festival in their clan and one of the biggest celebrations of the year. Bonfires are lit and animals are slaughtered for a grand feast. As for the meaning of the kiss robbery party, that is, at today's flame festival party, after the ceremony of worshiping the flame, the kiss snatching meeting will be held. Judging from the size of the largest tribe of the Qiang, it will be divided into groups of ten girls to be married. They will stand in the middle of the field, and any man who is interested in them will have the right to woo them, and the way to get them is very simple, as long as you can defeat the other suitors of this girl, then you are a warrior, and the girl will agree to marry you. Seniors, it's funny to say, the Qiang Clan's Fire Festival is also the day when girls in their clan lose their virginity the most. Often in the evening, just after the family robbery party ends, a couple of men and women will be eager to find a place to find fun. ”

Tan Shaobai snorted and said, "What a barbarian nation. According to what you said, today's Fire Festival should be very lively, all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang are concentrated here, and the family robbery will definitely cause a lot of fighting. Yue Qi nodded and said, "Today's family robbery meeting is probably also a grand event to prove the strength of all ethnic groups." In the end, the fact that the clan grabbed a lot of beautiful women proved their strength. At tomorrow's meeting of the patriarchs, there will be more to say. You may think this is ridiculous, but this is the way of southern Xinjiang. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Tan Shaobai's mouth, and he said, "This style is very good!" By the way, Patriarch, is it possible for the Great God of Moha and the Great God of Soto to participate in this flame festival tonight." Yue Yu shook his head and said, "I shouldn't participate, they are almost close to the status of gods in our southern Xinjiang, and ordinary people can't easily see them." Perhaps, tomorrow's patriarch will meet them before they appear. Hey, tonight's family robbery meeting, I'm afraid there will be a situation of competition between the Qiang, Miao and Tanla tribes again. ”

Tan Shaobai shook his head, smiled mysteriously, and said, "No, it won't." Tonight, the Yi will be a solo show. Patriarch, this family robbery will not stipulate how many wives a man can rob. ”

Said Ni Leng: "This is not enough, but generally in order to grab a beauty, the head is often broken and bleeding, even if you win, it is difficult to have the strength to fight again." If the warrior who has already snatched the woman snatches another girl, once she loses, then the beauty she grabbed earlier will also belong to the winner of the latter, so few people will take the risk. Why? Do you want to ......?"

Tan Shaobai looked up at the sky and said lightly: "You will know when the time comes." I want to let the Qiang, Miao, and Tanla tribes know that the Yi people are not unemployed. By the way, the exercises I teach you, you must practice diligently every day, this is the only way to strengthen your Yi people. In the future, only those people you can trust will be able to pass on this set of exercises, understand?"

Yue Qi nodded respectfully and said, "Senior, don't worry, I know what to do." ”

Tan Shaobai sighed, floated up, and turned back to his room. As soon as he left, Miao Miao pulled Zhishui and came to Yue Ni's side, Miao Miao's eyes were a little more bright, and he said to Yue Ni: "Patriarch, I want to represent the Yi people in this flame meeting tonight." ”

Yue Ni was taken aback and said in surprise: "But, aren't you already ......?"

Miao Miao stopped him from saying any more, and said, "You don't care about the rest, just do what I say." Don't tell anyone about this, including Tan Shaobai, understand?"

Yu Ni smiled bitterly, looked at Hailong's room, and nodded in agreement.

In the evening, the genius had just darkened, and behind the Qiang Sacred Mountain, the Qiang people had gathered here to start singing and dancing, the largest tribe of the Qiang people, at least nearly 200,000 people participated in today's flame festival. In the center of the clearing, a huge pile of firewood with a diameter of twenty meters and a height of more than ten meters stands tall, which is obviously the main bonfire today.

Directly north of the main bonfire were representatives of various ethnic groups who had come to participate in the meeting of the patriarchs of southern Xinjiang. The patriarchs of all clans, plus their own soldiers, also had nearly 10,000 people, and several major clans naturally occupied the best positions. Like the Yi people, who only had about 20 people to attend the patriarchal meeting, they were naturally squeezed into the most marginal corner.

Hongji and the little ghost were very excited as soon as they arrived, and what attracted them was the whole cows, whole sheep, whole pigs, and even many wild beasts that they couldn't name. The sturdy Qiang men are dipping a long-haired brush into the spices and smearing them on the animals, and then turning the wooden frame, making a popping sound under the roasting of the fire, and the faint smell of barbecue meat is very exciting. Hongji and Xiao Clever even swallowed their saliva, and there was only the reflection of food in their eyes.

Yu Yu sighed lightly and said, "A big clan is a big clan! A banquet like this will not be held by our Yi clan in any way, and the food alone is enough for us to accumulate for decades."
