Chapter 21: Peerless Ghost Corpse I

The peaks and peaks overlap each other, the mountains are full of clouds and smoke, and from a distance, the low fog is like flowing water, rolling in the mountains and gorges with the wind.

After leaving the Heavenly Wolf Clan here, Nagu and a dozen other Heavenly Wolf Clansmen have been gone for seven days.

At noon on the day of the attack on my right arm, Ato, Ramru and others left the Nanla tribe, because the injuries of the four Ramlu people had not healed, I asked Nagu for some trauma medicine for them, although the wound medicine in the Central Plains is not a precious medicine, but it is still much better than the wound medicine prepared by the Nanla tribe themselves, and Ramlu and they can also get better faster. The Heavenly Wolf Clan has returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and in order to move to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, they went to kill the people of the Nanla Clan, which is undoubtedly a bit ridiculous compared to such an act as Nagu. However, there is no intersection between the Heavenly Wolf Clan and the Nanla Clan, and it is also easy to take down the Nanla Clan with the strength of the Heavenly Wolf Clan, but in fact, the Heavenly Wolf Clan did not do this, from this point of view, it is already a benevolent and righteous move for them to kill the Nanla Clan on the grounds of violating the territory.

It's just that in my opinion, this situation is tantamount to self-harm. Probably because of the necessity of survival, as the wizard Shanping of the Shang Boyu clan said, "Shi is also fate", if it weren't for the barren and chaotic Western Regions, the Heavenly Wolf Clan would not have chosen to move to the Great Song Dynasty, and maybe they would be able to live in harmony with the Nanla Clan.

The day after they left, my internal strength began to improve. There are many herbs in Nagu's pharmacy, in addition to the herbs that strengthen the muscles and bones, there are also a few kinds of medicinal materials that condense the mind and regulate the qi, and the effect of the herbs boiled into soup is not as significant as the pill, but I have been cultivating in his pharmacy for three days, and his qi-regulating herbs still help the internal force in my abdomen, so that I am no longer blocked by luck. By the end of my vomiting this morning, the internal strength in my body had recovered a small half, and now even if I don't drink the ancient decoction, if I continue to breathe in like this, my internal strength will be restored as before in less than half a month.

On the sixth day of Ramlu's departure, Kang Ping led the court envoys to leave the Celestial Wolf Clan, and that night, with the permission of the Celestial Wolf Clan's patriarch, Nagu and I set out to visit the Miro Clan.

I leaned against a large tree, spread out the dark yellow animal skin scroll map, and looked at the misty canyon in front of me, and my heart was full of thoughts. On the map, on the other side of this canyon is the territory of the Miro tribe. The map was drawn by Nagu himself, and the area included in it was not very large, and it was drawn quite finely, with three kinds of paints marked with place names, and there were twelve mountains marked with red paint, and there were four forests marked with green paint among the mountains, and the tribes marked with black paint on the map. Only three tribes are marked on the entire map. In the map, the Celestial Wolf Clan is in the center, and not far to the west is the Nanla Clan, and on the map there are four or five mountains to the south, and almost at the edge of the animal skin scroll is marked as the Miluo Clan.

According to Nagu, the population of the Miro tribe has reached more than 1,000 people, and it is a veritable medium-sized tribe, and it is also a force to be reckoned with anywhere in the Western Regions. In the early years, the village of the Heavenly Wolf Clan was not very far from the Miro tribe, and it was separated from the Miro tribe by three mountainous areas, and it was not until more than ten years ago that the current patriarch of the Miro tribe, Abigail, succeeded as the patriarch of the Miro tribe, and this situation was broken. Abigail sat on the position of the patriarch of the Miro clan, and his first decision was to launch a territorial war against the Sirius clan, at that time, the Miro clan was already a large number of people, and the Sirius clan was far inferior. Worried that the Miluo tribe would expand its territory again, in the past ten years, the Tianluo tribe has moved three times intermittently, and finally took root in the current place, forming the current situation with the Nanla and Miluo tribes.

If you look at the map, the three tribes are naturally not far apart, but really all the way, the distance of five hundred miles feels like I have walked thousands of miles. There are many mountains in the south area, but the cliffs are extremely steep, not only to climb the mountains, but also to climb the rocks with bare hands, horses can't walk, we can only walk 500 miles of mountains.

Not counting the Miro tribe at the edge of the map, there are only two tribes in the huge area, the Celestial Wolf Clan and the Nanla Clan, which is a bit uninhabited. I rolled up the map in my hand and put it back in the leather bag around my waist. Although the map does not show the location of the Death Swamp and Sand City, Nagu told me that the Death Swamp is actually seven hundred miles north of the Southern La, and if I want to reach Sand City, I must go northeast, but it is still a longer way to get from the Sky Wolf Clan to Sand City.

That's good, right? I thought, at least I know where I am, and I don't have to fumble around.

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and the ancient group of people also cautiously approached.

There are fourteen people from the Heavenly Wolf Clan brought by Nagu this time, all of whom are the stronger people in their clan, and our diet and daily life in the seven days are also all up to them, picking fruits and hunting along the way, and lighting fires, which is quite interesting. It's just that when they came to this place for more than ten miles, they also put away their temperament and became solemn.

Nagu walked up to me, looked at the canyon in front of him, and whispered: "Friend Gu, through this canyon, the opposite side is the territory of the Miluo tribe, there are red-haired stone crabs in the canyon, and the people of the Miluo tribe often come here to hunt." ”

After the Heavenly Wolf Clan returned to the imperial court, the Miluo Clan, under the pressure of the Great Song Army, also stopped the decision to expand their territory to the northwest, and returned to the previous situation of having no offense with the Heavenly Wolf Clan. However, Nagu told me that this time Kang Ping led the envoys of the imperial court to not only appease their Celestial Wolf Clan, but also intended to appease the Miro Clan, and on the day Ramru and I were brought to the Celestial Wolf Tribe, Kang Ping and the patriarch of the Celestial Wolf Clan, Nagu discussed this matter that night. It's just that the people of the Miluo tribe are fierce, unlike the lonely wolf clan back then, it is easy to belong to the imperial court, and this time the ancient willingness to come to the Miluo clan with me is to come to explore the tone of the Miluo clan, which is also the meaning of Kang Ping and the patriarch of the wolf clan.

At first, when I heard Nagu talk about the plan to go to the Miro clan, I was also a little surprised, not only about what happened to their Heavenly Wolf Clan over the years and the strength of the Miro clan, but also because the appeasement policy of the imperial court could be so far-reaching. I often hear that most of the tribes in the Western Regions that the imperial court appeases are weak and lonely, and those tribes are also willing to belong to the Great Song Dynasty, the situation between the Western Regions and the Great Song Dynasty is not stable, and the war can be touched, and it is not easy for the imperial court to appease the tribes of the Western Regions, and this kind of appeasement of the medium-sized tribes in the Western Regions is equivalent to digging the corners of the Western Regions, and a bad one is very easy to cause war.

Perhaps it would be safe for Kangping to send Nagu to test me, and I don't know what the court meant by doing this, but whatever the reason, I am grateful that Nagu was able to hide the fish-headed monster venom on my behalf and bring me here, at least Nagu is still willing to help me find a way to recover my right arm.

I looked at the canyon and said, "What is a red-haired stone crab?"

Na Gu said: "The red-haired stone crab is a crab that grows under the grass stem, just because of its large size, its body is as red as fire copper, and we all call them that." ”

I said, "Do they also contain poison in their bodies?"

In fact, we were able to get here so quickly thanks to the guidance of Nagu all the way. Five hundred miles of steep bees are dangerous, among which there are many fierce beasts and poisons, and we have encountered two kinds of highly poisonous things in the front, one is a giant flower called Yimen flower, and the other is a three-tailed scorpion with nine colors on its body. According to Nagu's introduction, the toxicity of these two poisonous substances is unusually vicious, and the toxicity of Yimen flower is mainly paralyzed, and it is good to be far away from that kind of flower, if you are close to them within three feet, they will spray venom from the flower buds, and their venom will be paralyzed in a short tea time, and they can't move, until the venom attacks the heart and dies. The three-tailed scorpion is much more flexible than the Yimen flower, and the toxicity is more domineering than the Yimen flower, this poisonous insect has three tail hooks, each of which contains highly poisonous, once people are stung by them, if they do not take the antidote in time, they will die within a few breaths, and the toxicity comes very quickly. We only encountered these two poisonous things along the way, but we cleverly avoided them, thanks to Nagu's guidance.

Nagu is a wizard of the Celestial Wolf Clan, who often goes out to collect herbs, and is quite familiar with this land, knows where to station difficult poisonous beasts, and also knows where to choose to avoid the cliff of the broken path, without his guidance, God knows if we will encounter more difficult things, and we will not be here in seven days.

Na Gu shook his head and said, "The red-haired stone crab is a rare anti-skin herb, and it does not contain severe poison in the body, but there are many of them, and they come out at sunset, and it is quite troublesome to be haunted by them." As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and said, "Let's go, while it's still dark, let's get to the other side as soon as possible." ”

I also looked at the sky, and it was almost dusk, and the remnants of the sun were spreading down like blood, and the fog in the canyon was ethereal, as if it were red.

The rock walls on both sides of the canyon are unusually steep, but not very high, and the rock walls are covered with rattan the thickness of long swords, and it looks like two low green waterfalls hanging on both sides, secluded and ancient.

We grabbed the rattan and descended to the bottom of the canyon, where we saw a patch of knee-long grass, which grew so dense that the blades were two fingers wide, and stood straight on the ground like a boning bayonet.

However, the grass stalks are so high that it is an excellent place for ambushes, and if the Miro people defend themselves against the invasion of outsiders, they can only hide under the grass stalks, and they will never be seen from the top of the canyon or walking in the deep grass.

Still a little worried, I quickly followed Nagu, walked side by side with him, and said, "Mr. Nagu, if we visit the Miro tribe like this, will they not welcome us and turn us away?"

Nagu said: "If you sneak into their territory, you will definitely be turned away by them, but if we go over openly, as long as we make it clear that the two tribes are on good terms, they will not do anything to us." ”

I muttered: "That's not necessarily, your Heavenly Wolf Clan has returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Miluo Clan is the majority of the local people. ”

According to my previous thoughts, there is no need to be so troublesome at all, let me sneak into the Miro tribe, directly find the patriarch of the Miro tribe and Zabal to ask for clarification, and save Nagu from taking such a risk. Although my internal strength has only recovered a small part now, I am confident that I can come and go freely among their Miro. But then I thought about it, it was too abrupt and inconsiderate, and no matter what the situation between the two tribes was now, the fact that I couldn't understand words was a headache for me, and if that was the case, even if I infiltrated the Miro, I would only be staring at it later.

Nagu smiled, but said: "Now is not what it used to be, Abigail is a person who understands current affairs, and he knows the importance of it in his heart, and he will not mess around." ”
