Chapter 218: The Laughter of Reunion
"Arrived?" Mu Yuan looked in the direction of A Wentao's finger, but saw that at dawn, wisps of cooking smoke appeared at the end of the mountain road, and there were faint sights of human activities, groups of three or five, a scene of forest tribes, the light of the morning sun poured over, dyed with a layer of faint gold, it was very good-looking, with the morning breeze coming, it was obvious that it could feel a color of vitality, and it was outstanding in this bleak winter, this is really a living place.
Chu Xunyu put his hand on the pergola and looked at it for a long time, then turned around and said with a smile on the back of the deer: "Senior Sister Shang Qian has arrived, and I can already feel her breath." ”
"Then what are you waiting for?" Mu Yuan anxiously kicked the deer's stomach and shouted, "Drive!" Suddenly remembered that he was riding a deer now, not a horse, can this work? The result was unexpected, the reindeer snorted, spread its hooves and suddenly became a vertical figure, and ran forward, throwing off everyone, scaring Mu Yuan, hurriedly hugging the deer's neck, and shouting: "Amitabha, how can this deer run like a horse?"
A Wentao laughed and whistled, all the reindeer exerted their strength together, rushed up, and Mu Yuan went hand in hand, running towards the village, Lao Li Tou also hurriedly drove the broken carriage and followed closely with his granddaughter all the way.
But after half a cup of tea, he rushed to the entrance of the village, and saw that Senior Sister Shang Qian, who had not been seen for a long time, was standing at the entrance of the village, carrying a guqin, smiling and waiting for everyone, Mu Yuan hurriedly jumped off the back of the deer, trotted to the front, and shouted happily: "Hey, Senior Sister Shang Qian, I haven't seen you for a long time, you don't know, I'm worried about us these days." ”
Senior Sister Shang Qian was also very excited, and pulled Mu Yuan and said, "Senior Brother Changzui, I want to kill you too, I have something to delay, so I have to come to the Northeast to find you, you are all right." ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Chu Xunyu and the others walked over, looked up at her carefully, nodded and smiled, "Senior Sister Shang Qian is full of energy, it seems that she must have something to learn at home." ”
Shang Qian greeted everyone very obediently: "Senior Wangchen is good, Senior Brother Chu is good, Senior Brother Guanyue is good, and Sister Meiwan is good." ”
This is the second time Shang Qian has gone out, and he came to the Northeast alone, along the way, he must have seen and heard, and has his own experience story, and is no longer sheltered by Chu Xunyu, so the whole body exudes a gradually mature atmosphere, and he is also a lot more generous when he speaks.
Mei Wan looked at Shang Qian with a smile, came over and took her little hand and said, "Sister Shang Qian has really become a big girl." ”
"Where, my sister said with a smile. Shang Qian was very happy to reunite with old friends, and she and Mei Wan couldn't help but say a few more words.
Ah Wentao walked over with Lao Li Tou and other shamans, and said heartily: "Friends from the Central Plains, you go and rest first, I will go and report the results of this incident to the Great Elder, and we will have a banquet in the evening to entertain you well." ”
Shang Qian hurriedly recommended herself: "Senior Brother A Wentao, you can go, anyway, I am familiar with everyone closely, I will take them over." ”
A Wentao thought about it, so he agreed, so he left with people, Shang Qian then led everyone into the tribe of the Oroqen tribe, looking at the people of different races who were going back and forth, busy, as if they had a feeling of being in a different world, they were wearing colorful animal skin cotton clothes, wearing animal skin cotton hats, decorating the tinkling jewelry, and greeted Shang Qian hospitablely, Mu Yuan looked left and right, felt that his eyes were not enough, and asked in a good mood:" The folk customs here are different, everything is different, and the houses they live in are also different. ”
"What do you know!" Chu Xunyu blushed, "After following me for so long, I haven't learned anything at all, and their kind of house is called 'Immortal Pillar'." ”
"Immortal Pillar?" Mu Yuan asked, pointing to a round house made of wooden poles, animal skins, and birch bark not far away, "This thing is called 'Immortal Pillar'?"
"Yes. Chu Xunyu nodded, "The immortal pillar, also known as the 'oblique pillar' or 'resting pillar', this kind of circular tube building, does not use nails and tenons, but uses wooden poles to build shelves, and then paves animal skins or bark, which can prevent heat stroke in summer and avoid cold in winter, and there is a hole at the top, which is convenient for cooking on fire, because they often change their residences, so it is very convenient to disassemble and rebuild. ”
This is another vivid lesson for Mu Yuan, of course, the other people around him are also very teachable, even Shang Qian, don't look at her coming for a few days, but she is busy with other things, and these things are unknown. Soon, Shang Qian took a few people to his "Immortal Pillar" tube building, and Lao Li got off the horse, hugged his granddaughter and went in with everyone.
The furnishings inside are very simple, nothing more than some commonly used daily necessities, but the production is very rough, it is obvious that they are made by these local Oroqen people, and it doesn't matter about the tables and chairs, everyone sat on the animal skin on the ground, and communicated, Shang Qian saw the old Li Tou and grandson, and said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, Uncle Li, we couldn't save the people in your village." ”
Lao Li Tou sighed, and then pretended to smile and said: "It's nothing, female doll, I know you did your best, these days, old man, I, have long figured out that it is impossible to save these people, rest assured, rest assured, I'm fine, oh, by the way, this is what you gave me, I should return it to you." After speaking, he handed over the bracelet of weights and measures, and Shang Qian took it silently.
Mu Yuan hurriedly broke these sad atmospheres and took the lead in asking, "Senior Sister Shang Qian, how did you find this place? ”
"Oh, oh, yes. Shang Qian came back to her senses and hurriedly told everyone about this experience.
It is said that back then, Shang Qian did not follow Chu Xunyu and them to continue south to the south of the Yangtze River, but stayed at home, while carefully studying the music score obtained from the Venerable Master Wuyin, and also meditating and practicing at home to consolidate his cultivation, because this first experience of going out to explore the rivers and lakes made him understand that the rivers and lakes were not what he imagined, but a world full of bizarre and dangerous situations, which was completely different from his own home life, so he had a lot of experience, so he made up his mind to study in retreat.
Because of this, she delayed going to Jiangnan to attend Chu Xunyu's sister's wedding, and her family did not disturb her and helped her take leave from Chu Xunyu. Later, Shang Qian went out of the customs and learned that time had passed, and she learned from the mouth of the Fa family who came back from the wedding of the Yaowang Mansion that Chu Xunyu and his entourage went to the northeast, so she decided to go directly to the foot of Changbai Mountain and meet everyone, but she did not fly over directly, but went on foot, because unconsciously, she had become obsessed with this kind of life that carefully experienced the stories of the rivers and lakes.
Her route is different from Chu Xunyu's, which is to retake the Shanxi road, then cross Hebei, and then reach the foot of Changbai Mountain in the northeast. Now let's talk about this Shang Qian arrived at Xiangyangtun at the foot of Changbai Mountain, she walked into the village that night, under the gaze of the Hongdaomen disciples, and everything that happened afterwards was the same as what Lao Li Tou said.
Later, Shang Qian went out the next day to look for the local shaman, but she was not familiar with the place, where could she find these erratic people? After wandering around the local area for several days, she did not find it, which made her anxious, and then her simple little brain came up with a very ridiculous "genius" idea, which led these shamans out. She found a forest that day, not far from the current Oroqen tribe, flew into the air, waved her hand is a Taoist technique, and blasted out a big hole in the ground, the rumbling sound shook the sky, and she heard it for several miles, and then she stood proudly and waited slowly, she didn't believe it, making such a big move, and it wouldn't attract the attention of these local shamans? This is really close to Zhu Zhe Chi, close to Mo Hei, such an absurd scheme, it is estimated that only first-class nonsense geniuses like Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan can come up with it, what kind of people are really learning what kind of things from them.
Sure enough, after a while, Ah Wentao and his group of nervous-looking shamans rushed over to check, and Shang Qian couldn't ask for it, so he hurried down to contact him. But then again, this is also thanks to Shang Qian's good luck, you must know that the local shaman wizards are also good and bad, if you meet a vicious and vicious shaman, I am afraid that Shang Qian will inevitably have to fight with them first, and even more, if there is a higher cultivation than Shang Qian, I am afraid that Shang Qian himself will be dangerous and unpredictable, fortunately, it is A Wentao and them, they are all good-hearted people, and this is the acquaintance with Shang Qian.
Shang Qian came to the tribe and explained the situation, A Wentao and they consulted the elder, according to the situation described by Shang Qian, determined the monsters, made a plan, and attacked in several ways to eradicate these monsters in the nearby villages one by one, Shang Qian also set off together, but she didn't know where Chu Xunyu and they came from, so she told A Wentao about the sound and smile of their Chu Xunyu and his party, hoping to bring them over after seeing them. I didn't expect Chu Xunyu and them to really appear in Xiangyangtun, no, a few people met again.
These stories have been told for a long time, and it is noon at this time, at this time, A Wentao walked into Chu Xunyu's tube building, and also sat down beside him, and saw Lao Li's sleepy and tired look slowly welling up, after all, he was an ordinary person, and he was old, and he estimated that he couldn't stand it after making trouble all night, so he asked him to take his granddaughter out first, and his subordinates took them to find a place to rest.
After sending away the ordinary people, Chu Xunyu asked bluntly: "Brother Awentao, is something wrong?"
A Wentao nodded, his expression was not very optimistic: "We just told a few great elders about this incident, but the situation is not optimistic, eradicating the news of other tribe wizards, in the past two months, there have been many demon things outside the entire Northeast Pass, and they are all different demons, and the number is very amazing!"
"What?" everyone was taken aback, and Chu Xunyu then hurriedly asked, "Why did so many appear, are there any clues?"
"Yes!" A Wentao nodded affirmatively, and pointed in the direction of Changbai Mountain with his hand, "Although there are many demons that are usually difficult to see this time, they all have one thing in common, that is, they were all supervised and suppressed by the same Han sect!"
