I stood in the ranks of the Celestial Wolf Clan, watching the funeral ceremony of the Miro Clan, and kept thinking about the Immortal Hall.

The funeral was held at the top of the back hill. Among the Miluo people, the funeral is also quite solemn, and Zabal also presides over the memorial, but the ceremony is still not as cumbersome as the incense, food, and reading of sacrifices necessary in the funeral ceremony in the Central Plains, but is carried out in a way of carrying the corpse dance. During the ceremony, the family members of the deceased are dressed in clothes woven of grass, vines and green leaves, with a white feather on their heads, and carry the deceased on a stretcher, and dance around a group of kneeling flower-faced mourners in the center. This kind of dance is very special, I have never seen it before, three or four people carrying a stretcher, twisting and walking and stopping, waving their arms, while kneeling on the ground to worship the heavens, half a day to travel a distance of more than ten zhang. And the group of clansmen who knelt in the middle and chanted and shouted made the whole memorial ceremony full of a strong atmosphere of sadness.

There were more than 80 people in that group, chanting their local words, and the voices of the group of people were like rattles, resounding wave after wave, and echoing in the back mountains, very loud. Their chanting sounded very chaotic at first, no different from ordinary mourning, but their voices seemed to come back to the sky, and they should be re-sung with their mouths, and after listening to them for a long time, they became an inexplicable lament that echoed throughout the mountain, and even cried later.

The world is really impermanent, and it is so fast that people can't react, the day before yesterday they were still holding a ceremony to worship their ancestors, and now they are holding a funeral ceremony. Their chanting was long, and from their hoarse voices they shouted like a chant of prayer, and they went straight up to the sky, and in the rain of this morning, they overwhelmed the sound of the wind. Although I couldn't understand their words, I was touched by their voices, and I just stood and watched from a distance, and my eyes were a little moist.

Nearly half of the clansmen died at once, and the overall strength of the Miluo clan was greatly reduced, and now there were more than six hundred people left, only one or two hundred more than the Heavenly Wolf Clan. If the Miluo clan is allowed to fight a territorial battle against the wolf clan now, the outcome may be unpredictable, at this time and at that time, the wolf clan today is no longer the wolf clan of more than ten years ago, but there is the support of the Great Song Dynasty court behind it.

Although the Changsheng Hall has been in decay for decades, even if it was a remnant of the defeated army when it escaped from the death swamp this time, it was not something that the Western Regions tribe could resist after all, and this time Yang Zhixing did not order the slaughter of the Miluo tribe, I am afraid that he was already merciful. It's just that I'm still a little strange, Yang Zhixing seems to have too many people to come this time, the scene was chaotic at that time, I didn't see how many people they came, but looking at the leader, their number seems to have reached more than four hundred, and when they escaped from the death swamp, there were only eight hundred, this is only the people brought by Yang Zhixing, if you count the strength of the other three altar masters, then, isn't the current main force of their Immortal Hall nearly two thousand people?

Could it be that what He Erniang said was true, the rise of the Immortal Hall was really like a spark on the prairie and unstoppable? However, it only took two months for them to develop to such a scale, and if it took a little longer, the strength of their Immortal Hall was simply unimaginable.

Or did they already preserve their strength?

A shout interrupted my thoughts, it turned out that the memorial service was over, and the next step was to bury the dead people. The burial place of the Miro people is not to bury the corpse in the coffin deep underground, but after the corpse is burned, the ashes are sealed on the mountain wall behind the waterhole, the mountain wall is very close to the waterhole, and many small grottoes have been chiseled in advance, and the ashes are filled with large porcelain jars and put into the grotto, and finally sealed with a specially polished stone plaque, which is considered a tombstone.

After the funeral, we followed Zabal to his cave house, along with Abigail and the seven remaining elders of the Miro tribe.

As soon as I arrived in the cave, I saw that the python ghost boy stood at the entrance of the inner cave like a wooden stake, and the medicine cloth wrapped around its head had been removed, and at this time there were two black and green python heads on the neck of the whole person, which was a little terrifying.

Seeing us enter, it moved under its feet, flashed behind Zabal, shook its two heads, spit out two snake letters from its mouth, and probed Zabal's shoulder, looking extremely intimate. After a few days, it seemed to have adapted to this body, and the ghost boy needed to be fed with essence blood, and in its eyes, Zabal was probably the closest person to it.

Zabal didn't pay much attention to it, walked to the desk by himself, pinched a glass bottle from the desk and looked at it, and said, "Then the ancient wizard, you should come and have a look." ”

There was a clear liquid in the bottle, and a thin red scale fluttering at the bottom, which had been taken from my right arm. Nagu clenched his fists in response, approached the desk and looked at the bottle, and frowned for a long time: "Dawu, this is ......"

Zabal sighed and said, "In two days, the Bone Transformation Grass has not dissolved this scale. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at me.

can't be resolved, which means that even he is helpless.

When he took out the glass bottle, I had already guessed the answer, and my heart couldn't help but sink. As if knowing my thoughts, Nagu raised his head and looked at Zabal and said, "How can this be, the rotten nature of the bone-turning grass can also be dissolved by gold and iron, how can it not dissolve a thin scale?"

Zabal pondered for a moment, but said, "It is rumored that the venom of the fish-headed monster is extremely hot, and it is still more than the poison of the snake, which seems to be true. The rottenness of the Bone Grass is also one of the best in the world today, and the Corrupt Gold Stone is not a problem, so it stands to reason that it should not be a problem to deal with a mere venom, unless this venom contains something that the Bone Grass cannot dissolve. ”

He placed the bottle back on the desk, the red scales at the bottom of the bottle swaying slightly.

Nagu asked, "Dare to ask the Great Witch, what is it that can make the Bone Turning Grass useless?"

Zabal said: "This is not easy to say, there are many strange things in the world, and there are not a few bone plants that cannot be corrupted, and there are no less than seven or eight kinds of grass leaf medicinal materials alone. ”

"So much?"

Zabal nodded, "That's true. I have been practicing witchcraft for 71 years, and I have traveled all over the Western Regions with my ancestors, and I have spent 40 years just studying the principles of plants and trees, and I cannot be mistaken. ”

After forty years of studying the ways of herbs and plants, Zabal's understanding of herbs has reached a point of astonishment, right?

It seems that this visit to Baizabar is a bamboo basket for water.

Na Gu also seemed to be deflated, and said with a wry smile: "Even the Great Witch can't help this kind of venom, I think that no one else in the world can unravel this poison, that fish-headed monster is really powerful." ”

His sycophant shot was just right, obviously it was me who was poisoned, and when it came out of his mouth, it was as if he had been poisoned by the fish-headed monster. Zabal smiled and said, "Then the ancient wizards don't have to exalt me like this, there are many wizards in the Western Regions, and there are many wizards who are more powerful than me, and the Gu poison that I can't unravel, maybe someone can solve it." ”

He walked to the edge of the chair and sat down, took out a wax-sealed parchment scroll from his arms, and said: "That ancient wizard, this is a letter of recommendation, which I wrote to the bloody hand great witch Xia Hafu, this person has asked the family teacher for advice in the past, and he also has some friendship, you might as well visit this person, maybe you can unravel the poison on your people." ”

This is the second time I've heard of this man, and I don't know what kind of wizard he is, but he can be a great witch with a bloody hand, and I think he is also a powerful person.

"It's Xia Hafu Witch!"

Give us this letter, Zabal doesn't want to keep us anymore. Na Gu raised his eyebrows, took the parchment scroll and looked at it, and said: "I have heard of this person, but I have no chance to meet him, I heard that this person is proficient in spells, and he has studied Gu worms very deeply. ”

Zabal said: "Exactly. Wizard Xia Hafu has a strange spell, but even the family master praised this person for becoming a great weapon in the future, but I recommend you to him not because of this person's spells, but because of the Taiwei River Worm of their Bloody Hand Clan. ”

Na Gu seemed to be a little surprised, and said: "Dawu, it is recorded in the book that the Taiwei River Worm is just an ordinary Gu worm, the size is insignificant, but the number is amazing, but this insect likes to eat grass branches, leaves and stems, and is often raised to play, if it is used as a foil, it is still pleasing to the eye, if it is used to cure diseases......

As soon as he said this, Zabal had already waved his hand to interrupt him, and said: "Do you know, this Taiwei River Worm is not an ordinary Gu worm, Wizard Xia Hafu has spent his life studying this worm, and the Taiwei River Worm he fed is raised with a special Gu poison, and it has been raised by him for decades, and his Taiwei River Worm has already changed its habits, not only has corrosive properties in the body, but can also be used to poison and heal injuries. ”

Na Gu seemed to understand a little, and said, "What does the Great Witch mean?"

Zabal tapped his fingers on the desk and muttered, "The Bone Transformation Grass is already the most powerful rotten herb I know, since this method of grass and trees doesn't work, I think you can try to dissolve this scale with Gu worms, it's not a solution." If Xia Hafu's Taiwei River Worm can really dissolve this scale, and combined with his herbal sorcery, although he doesn't dare to say that he can completely unravel this poison, there will always be some doorways. ”

I didn't have much hope for the detoxification, but when he said this, I couldn't help but feel a little bit of light in front of me. I was completely confused about what they were talking about now, I didn't know what this Gu worm was, and I didn't know what miracle effect this Gu worm would have after being carefully fed by Xia Hafu, but Zabal's words reminded me.

Indeed, since the mutation of my right arm, I have only been healed by two wizards, Nagu and Zabar, if Nagu used the five-flavor syrup to contain the pain in my right arm, it can be regarded as a kind of healing, and besides, there are so many wizards in the Western Regions, wouldn't it be too cowardly to think about giving up now? Anyway, this is just the beginning, I can't give up so easily.

Na Gu's face was sincere at this time, and he bent down and said, "I am grateful for letting the Great Witch bother so much." I will definitely tell the Liangmu patriarch about this kindness, and the patriarch will also show his face. ”

Zabal smiled slightly, and said: "What about the ancient wizard, this time my clan was raided by thieves, and you also killed a few clansmen, besides, your clan saved Abigail's life, I can't repay this love, but this letter of recommendation is nothing." When the internal affairs of my clan are properly handled, I will personally visit your Heavenly Wolf Tribe. ”

Nagu was shocked, his face could not hide his excitement, and he bent down and said: "It is a great honor for me to come to visit our department!"

No one spoke. I looked to the side, Abigail and the Great Elder and the Third Elder were already full of joy, while the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder had gloomy faces, and the remaining three Elders were standing silently behind them with their heads down.

Now, anyone already knows that Zabal has the intention of befriending the Celestial Wolf Clan, and it is not difficult to guess that he has more intention of submitting to the imperial court.

But at this moment, the second elder stepped forward and suddenly said, "Great Wu, there is something unknown to my subordinates. ”

As soon as he stood up, I knew that I couldn't say anything good from his mouth, and the surrounding Abigail, the Great Elder, and the Third Elder were all frowning, and glanced at the Second Elder, intentionally or unintentionally. Zabal didn't have anything unusual on his face, but said, "What does the Second Elder have to say?"

The second elder said: "Great Witch, this time the Immortal Hall invaded our clan just to find one person, and I found this place four days ago, and the clansmen of the Heavenly Wolf Clan also came to our tribe on that day, is it too coincidental?"

As soon as he said this, Abigail and the others almost glared angrily, and even Nagu's face changed. The Second Elder was probably extremely dissatisfied with Zabar's choice, and wanted to remove the corpse, so he pointed the finger at us.

Before the words fell, the Great Elder had already stood up and shouted, "Second Elder, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you think that a friend of the Heavenly Wolf Clan brought the Immortal Hall over?

The Great Elder had turned into angry scolding in the end, and the Second Elder sneered, looked at the Great Elder and said, "The people of the Immortal Hall have always been treacherous, so what's so strange about finding a reason for it. He turned to Zabal and said, "But Dawu, you have to be cautious in this matter, maybe that corpse is just a bait!"

The Second Elder's words were a bit too radical, although his words were not unreasonable, but they were also too ignorant of current affairs, how could Zabal not be able to think of this with Zabal's understanding of the Immortal Hall? If that corpse was really a bait laid down by the Immortal Hall, and used this excuse to offend the Miro Clan, how could they retreat halfway? If this was the case, I am afraid that they would not leave a curse, and they would have taken down the Milo Clan in one fell swoop.

Zabal didn't reprimand the second elder, and said, "What the second elder said is also reasonable, but I also don't know anything, if the Immortal Hall wants to use people as bait, why do you want to find a disciple of the Seven Great Sects to act as it?"

His words were calm, but to me, it was like a bolt from the blue.

This corpse with a grimace carved on the back is a disciple of the Seven Great Sects?

My eyes widened, and I didn't believe it, but I saw Zabal take out a red wooden plaque from his bosom and throw it over, and said, "This token appeared on this corpse, this person is a disciple of the Qingcheng faction, and his name is Guan Wenlu." ”
