Slowly Mountains and Seas Chapter 22: Yao Tribe
Three days later, Wu Xiu was finally able to walk for a long time without hindrance, and even in the morning, he could go to the river to move his muscles and bones slowly, and at the same time, Wu Xiu also instructed Chen Sidao to refine his body every day. Wu Xiu doesn't have any of the moves on his side at present, so he can only teach these.
Chen Sidao's body is very good, even stronger than the body of ordinary boys, Wu Xiu is not surprised, because he knows that Chen Sidao likes to wander around alone when he is a child, picking some wild strawberries on the east mountain today, and picking some wild hawthorn on the west mountain tomorrow. There are too many things on the dull Chen Sidao that Wu Xiu can't understand, such as her eyes, she can see things that resemble ghosts, and she is not afraid of heat or cold, and she can't see her panting after climbing two mountains in a row.
Wu Xiu also told Chen Sidao about his years of martial arts experience, and Chen Sidao was able to write them down one by one, and asked a lot of questions. Wu Xiu did his best to teach each other, and when he encountered a question that he couldn't answer, he asked Chen Sidao to climb the mountain, Chen Sidao came back from climbing a mountain with great interest, and looked at Wu Xiu with wide eyes, Wu Xiu said that it was time to stand on the pile, saying that he could not relax after climbing the mountain, and that standing on the pile could make his breath and body more stable, and Chen Sidao had to do so.
According to the book, Wu Xiu said that there were several sets of breathing methods for Chen Sidao to try in turn when climbing the mountain, but Chen Sidao said that there was nothing particularly bad, and there was no particularly good one, it was all the same. So he asked Chen Sidao to choose one, and Chen Sidao chose the way of three short and one long, and breathing in reverse. Before, Wu Xiu thought that the martial artist did not need to breathe and meditate like the monk on the mountain, but after several injuries, Wu Xiu knew that the martial artist also needed to meditate and breathe meditation, but instead of exhaling the aura of heaven and earth, he was immersed in his own mind and felt the changes in the acupoints in his body.
This is actually the reason why Wu Xiu opened half of the cave in the army without knowing it.
In another seven days, Wu Xiu recovered seventy-seven-eighty-eight.
In the morning, Wu Xiu was about to leave and go to Yaozhai, firstly, to visit Fang Xiaowen, and secondly, it was safe for everyone for Wu Xiu to go to that Yaozhai. Before leaving, Wu Xiu went to see his new house, a house where wood and bamboo accounted for the majority, a total of three floors, the bottom layer is supported by wooden beams, not high, Chen Sifeng said that in the future, you can stop a chicken pen below, raise some chickens and lay some eggs, the second floor, the middle is the main hall, the two rooms on the left have been opened, the outside is the tea room, the inside is the bedroom, and the two rooms on the right are the guest rooms. The top floor is the attic, which separates the two rooms and can be used as a warehouse.
Chen Sidao joked that in the future, even if there are three or four, there will be a place to live, and no matter how bad it is, a small attic will be built next to it.
Wu Xiu looked forward to the day when he could watch his children and grandchildren around his knees, and he and his women sat and watched the sunset every day.
Wu Xiu asked where the kitchen was, and Chen Sidao said that he would slowly smooth out the door of the house, build a kitchen on the right side of the house, and then fence them all off and form a small courtyard.
Wu Xiu looked forward to that look, full of excitement.
Wu Xiu stood at the door of his house, looked around, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "It's really a good place to live!"
Chen Sifeng and Liu Sanqian also laughed, and Liu Sanqian said, "Brother Da Zheng, we'll wait for you to come back!"
After admiring his house, Wu Xiu began to walk towards the mountain road, and Chen Sidao must follow Wu Xiu if he wants to die or live. Now is not the busy season for farming, and Xiaohu doesn't need her to take care of it all day, so Chen Sifeng had no choice but to agree to this stubborn sister.
At the intersection of the mountains, when the four of them were separated, Wu Xiu took out a red paper bag from his arms, handed it to Liu Sanqian, and said: "Sanqian, you can't drink your happy wine, you won't blame me, this is a little bit of my care, you accept it." ”
Liu Sanqian took it, "Brother Da Zheng's share of the money, I must accept it!"
Wu Xiu patted Liu Sanqian on the shoulder, "Live a good life, after giving birth to a fat boy, I will come to drink the full moon wine of my eldest nephew!"
Liu Sanqian nodded vigorously, "I will work hard!"
Wu Xiu said to Chen Sifeng again: "Heizi, you can help me look at the house first, I have caused trouble for you and Xue'e during this time..."
Before Wu Xiu could continue, Chen Sifeng raised his hand, "Stop, stop, where did you learn from your mother-in-law?" Just take care of the four paths for me, now she worships you as a teacher, that is, your apprentice, a sister and an apprentice, you have to treat her well, if she has three long and two short, I can't spare you!"
Chen Sifeng hammered his fist on Wu Xiu's chest, and gave Wu Xiu two coughs, but it made Wu Xiu's heart hot, and the blood flow immediately became a little faster, and the acupuncture veins seemed to wake up in silence.
Wu Xiu glanced at Chen Sidao, who bowed his head and was silent, "Don't worry, let's go!"
In fact, for Chen Sifeng, he didn't want his sister-in-law to follow Wu Xiu to learn the kung fu of fighting and killing, he only hoped that Sidao could live a peaceful and stable life, and find a good person to marry when he grew up. If someone else accepted Sidao as a disciple, he would definitely try his best to stop it, but Sidao followed Wu Xiu, although he was reluctant, but he was also relieved.
Maybe Wu Xiu is the nobleman of the Four Paths, as for the unexpectedness of the Great Dao, it doesn't matter.
Chen Sidao has been to Yaozhai more than once, and the route is also familiar, so Chen Sidao walked in front all the way. When he was a child, Wu Xiu also went with the adults in the village, using the cloth and farm tools they bought from Yaotai Town to go to Yaozhai to exchange animal skins, and then take the animal skins to the town to sell, and they could make a lot of money in the middle. From Tin Shui Wai all the way to the northwest, you can reach it after walking for three days, because they are all mountain roads, Wu Xiu did not ride a horse.
Wu Xiu asked, "How long did you fly that day before you stopped?"
Chen Sidao replied, "Two hours." ”
"How far?"
"I don't know, I still remember stopping there anyway. ”
The two walked from morning to evening, Wu Xiu looked at the sky that was getting dark, "Let's rest here tonight." He pointed to the flat ground ahead, "Are you hungry?"
Chen Sidao didn't speak, turned around and entered the woods, and after a while, she came out again, like a wild monkey, she walked in front of Wu Xiu, put down her clothes, and seven or eight wild fruits rolled to the ground. Wu Xiu wanted to say a few words to her, but he couldn't bear it, so he had to give a thumbs up.
As night approached, Wu Xiu lit a bonfire and meditated with Chen Sidao, immersing himself in his mind. Now, although most of the injuries have recovered, and the qi of the acupuncture veins has gradually awakened, it is still very slow, and even a small part of it is still blocked. The little god baby by the sea of Dantian Lake had a sad face all day long, and he couldn't do anything, but he didn't forget his own work, wandering in the undamaged acupoints, supervising a small amount of blood power to enter the dantian in an orderly manner.
Wu Xiu looked at the Divine Infant with his mind, and the Divine Infant also looked at him, with an angry look on his face, Wu Xiu had no choice but to inspect the damaged meridians.
Han Xue's voice said leisurely: "You are not very good at talking, ignore me, he doesn't listen to me when I talk to him, I teach him the method of repairing your damaged meridians, he said that it is your business, it has nothing to do with him, he said that he has too many things to manage, and he can't manage it." ”
Wu Xiu said: "Then we can only wait for recovery slowly." ”
"This little guy next to you is a little interesting, who are you?" asked Hanxue.
"My brother's sister-in-law, who is also my sister-in-law, is now half my apprentice. ”
"Yin and Yang people, I haven't seen them for many years. "Cold snow trails.
Wu Xiu frowned. "What is a yin-yang person?"
"To put it simply, the dead and the living are together. ”
Wu Xiu was shocked in his heart, "There is a ghost haunting her?"
"No, people who have the body of yin and yang generally don't live long, because the community of yin and yang, there is no exact genus, yin and yang alternately, and even wrestle with each other, which is the most sad. But this kind of person is a congenital good embryo, whether it is practicing on the mountain or taking the martial arts, it is extremely fast and fast, and the achievement is very high in a short time, but after all, he can't escape the yin and yang phagocy, the yang god returns to heaven and earth, and the yin god becomes a fierce evil. ”
Wu Xiu was silent for a while and asked, "Is there any solution?"
"No, I don't know. But you don't have to worry, the higher your cultivation, the longer you live. ”
"How long can you live?" Wu Xiu asked.
"The mortal body is about thirty years, the martial arts body is about fifty years, and the monk's body is about seventy years. ”
Wu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, if he could live to be fifty or sixty years old in the countryside, it would be considered a long life. If you become a monk and live to be seventy years old, it will be enough.
But Han Xue continued: "I know what you're thinking, but all cultivators in the world are just for two words, immortality, even if the martial artist reaches a certain realm, he can continue his life, and if he eats some heavenly and earthly elixir, he can live for several generations." When she cultivates and succeeds, but she knows that she won't live long, think about it, how disappointed she is. ”
Wu Xiu retorted: "I will wait for her to tell her the truth when she becomes an adult, I think she will definitely understand, because she is my apprentice." I don't believe in immortality, I don't believe in longevity with the sky, those are all ethereal things, bewitching sentient beings, maybe one day I will meet the kind of people who have lived for many, many years, with profound cultivation and vast magical powers, but if you only live for the sake of living, only for yourself, I think it is better to die early. I only believe that the life of all things in this world is limited, and a person's life is to do meaningful things in a limited life, and to die without regrets is a perfect life. ”
Han Xue was silent for a while and asked lightly, "You just look down on life and death like this?"
Wu Xiu shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with looking down on life and death, no one wants to die, I don't want to die, I'm more afraid of death, I still have a lot of things to do, and I still have a lot of good life to go to." If one day I'm not so afraid of dying, or if I think death is a relief for me, I'll die with a smile when it's time to die. But right now, I'm not there yet, and I'm running around trying to stay alive. ”
Hanxue stopped talking.
The night in the mountains was dark and cool, and a cool breeze blew through the trees, like a terrible ghost exhaling. Wu Xiu glanced at the little god baby again, and then opened his eyes. Chen Sidao was still meditating, sweating profusely, Wu Xiu smiled, this is opening a hole.
Wu Xiu added a few sticks of firewood to the fire and was about to get up and punch, when he suddenly heard a roar of fierce beasts, but he couldn't tell what kind of beast it was. There are many fierce beasts in the northwest mountains and forests, and there are even 100,000 mountains in the west and north. If you want to draw a boundary for the 100,000 mountains, the villages and tribes of those mountain people have been used as the red line throughout the ages, for example, Yaozhai is the 100,000 mountains further west and north, and Yaozhai is on the periphery of the 100,000 mountains.
But is there no trace of human beings in the hinterland of the 100,000 Great Mountains? Of course, there were great supernatural people who searched for him in the 100,000 Great Mountains, and they really found a tribe for him, and the human men and women of that tribe used animal skins to cover their privacy and drank the blood of Maoru, and they were real primitive humans.
The great supernatural monk was very strange how they survived, not to mention the demon clan that had become the Tao and the demon beast with half open mind, and even the fierce beast was not afraid? So he secretly observed, this observation almost lost his life, while he was observing others, those primitive people were also observing him, the two parties met, a woman came out of the primitive tribe, chanting a spell that he couldn't understand at all, and groups of various kinds of fierce beasts, demon beasts, and even the winged humanoid flying demon appeared. It was also Rao that he cultivated to a high level and escaped at the cost of falling into the realm, and later generations learned that there was a mysterious tribe in the depths of the 100,000 mountains that could manipulate demon beasts.
Beasts attacking people are the most stories Wu Xiu heard when he was a child. For example, the cat with the head of a donkey, who is big and eats children, such as the python with thick thighs, only needs half an hour to swallow an adult, such as a group of jackals, descending the mountain in groups, robbing houses, and not even afraid of people. Of course, there are also the colorful birds, docile and approachable, who like to show their beautiful feathers in front of humans, and the black and white beasts that meet black and white with short limbs and obese bodies, and like to ask humans for bamboo shoots to eat.
In the dark, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up, looking at Wu Xiu and Chen Sidao, perhaps because they were afraid of the bonfire, so they didn't come forward. Wu Xiu didn't bother to pay attention to them, and slapped his fist with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, after the two sets of punches, those eyes were still looking at this side, and there were more and more, Wu Xiu had no choice but to shout, wanting to scare them.
After a while, a pair of large lantern-like eyes lit up from the darkness, yellow and red. It slowly walked among the beasts, motionless, as if staring at Wu Xiu's side. Wu Xiu picked up a piece of wood that was still burning and threw it over, and the beasts scattered and fled, only the yellow and red eyes remained motionless.
It seems to be the leader of this group of beasts.
When the beasts regathered, the leading beast roared in the sky, and Wu Xiu's ears were numb.
Then all the beasts around him began to slowly approach Wu Xiu.
Wu Xian was worried that no one moved his fists and feet, and after resting for so long, he should also move to make the acupuncture veins run faster. If it was placed when he was a child, Wu Xiu could only wait for death, but now Wu Xiu can be unharmed. In a moment's effort, in the addition of Wu Xiu's fists and feet, the beasts scattered in all directions, and one punch or kick could kill them. There were more and more beasts, and it was enough for Wu Xiu to stretch his fists and feet for an hour before the scattered beasts retreated and did not dare to step forward.
The leading beast didn't move, just looked at Wu Xiu with two lantern-like eyes open for a while, then turned around and left.
It's a somewhat sane beast.
Chen Sidao woke up from her weakness, her pale face couldn't help but take a breath when she saw the scene around her, "You killed it?"
Wu Xian roasted a wolf's leg, bubbling with oil, and asked, "How many holes have you opened?"
Chen Sidao thought: "I only feel that the two places on my back are no longer numb, and I can't feel all the acupoints in my body now." ”
Wu Xiu had already cooked the acupuncture points on the back, "Those two places, let me tell you which two acupuncture points." ”
"Shoulder down and here. Chen Sidao pointed to his back and said.
Wu Xiu looked over, "That's the Destiny Sect Acupoint, and pointing down from your shoulder is the Tianzong Acupoint." In the future, take these two acupuncture points as a starting point, and then use the qi machine to swim, where the blockage is where it is not opened, look at the acupuncture point map more, and strive to memorize it, which is good for you. ”
"Got it. Chen Sidao stood up, stretched, and said, "These animal skins are very valuable. ”
Wu Xiu said: "You, go find a place where no one is around, take a bath, and then come back to eat meat, and ask what smells on your body!
Chen Sidao left without saying a word.
The wolf leg in Wu Xiu's hand has been roasted for half an hour, he remembers that he ate wolf meat when he was a child, it was very chewy, and now he tries again, not only chewy, but also very fragrant, if he sprinkles some five-spice powder, it will be even more fragrant, and he immediately decided that next time he goes out, he must bring some spices.
Chen Sidao appeared wet after a while, and the black girl in the dark night was wearing the same black hair, looking like a little black water ghost from a distance. She sat by the fire and didn't feel cold, but she didn't feel so good when she was soaking wet. Wu Xiu tore off half of the wolf's leg and handed it to her, she didn't feel too hot, and began to eat silently behind Wu Xiu's back.
Wu Xiu felt funny, so he didn't laugh.
So I felt a little uncomfortable and asked, "Do you really don't like to talk or do you pretend not to talk?"
Chen Sidao swallowed a mouthful of meat and said, "I don't know what to say." ”
"A child about your age in Tin Shui Wai doesn't have anything to say?" Wu Xiu asked again.
"They are all children, and they have nothing to say to them, all they think about all day long is to catch fish and hide from dragonflies, and they are very bored. ”
"You're not a child?"
"In the eyes of your adults, it must be, but in my own eyes, it is not. ”
Wu Xiu scratched his head, he didn't know what to say, so he had to say: "Hurry up and eat, go to bed after eating, you are still young, you can't meditate all night like me." ”
Chen Sidao really fell asleep.
Wu Xiu cleaned up the beasts scattered around and began to skin them one by one.
The sky was slightly bright, Wu Xiu was still busy, Chen Sidao woke up once, looked at Wu Xiu, and fell asleep again. It wasn't until the sun rose that Wu Xiu finished his work, tied all the animal skins with vines and hung them on the back of the horse, and gained a lot, which was a small meeting gift for entering Yao Village. Chen Sidao woke up in a nightmare, and the moment she woke up, she looked at Wu Xiu with helpless eyes for a while, then got up and washed her face, and took the initiative to lead the horse and walk in front.
Wu Xiu followed behind her and asked, "How do you feel?"
Chen Sidao hummed and was silent.
Wu Xiu was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's fine. Chen Sidao said in a low voice.
"What kind of dream did you have?" Wu Xiu asked.
"Nothing. Chen Sidao pulled a horse rope and entered an extremely narrow fork in the road, "About five or six miles ahead is where we stopped flying close to the ground that day. ”
Wu Xiu looked up, calculated the distance, set off yesterday morning, did not rest once, and only began to rest after dark, about eighty or ninety miles, plus these five or six miles, that is, almost a hundred miles. A talisman can travel a hundred miles in two hours, and I can't help but sigh: "It's better to be on the mountain!"
Two days later, Yaozhai has loomed, and when you have crossed a mountain, you can see the true face of Yaozhai. In the valley, there are many wooden buildings, scattered and unorganized, most of which are built on the mountains on both sides of the valley. Entering the valley, there are two wooden platforms on both sides, on which stand two men wearing coarse cloth plackets, carrying longbows and quivers behind their backs, and swords hanging from their waists, looking at the periphery of the valley with solemn expressions. Seeing Wu Xiu and Chen Sidao, he bent his bow and arrows, and Wu Xiu had no choice but to raise his hand and shout in a broken Yao language: "We came to visit a friend." ”
Wu Xiu pointed to the animal skin on the horse, and one of the men on the high platform came down the vertical ladder, he knew Chen Sidao, and asked, "Come to Vientiane again?"
Wu Xiu nodded, and ripped off a few animal skins from his horse, "Give it to you." ”
The man seemed attracted by the hides, looked at the mountains of hides that were piled up right away, and asked, "You killed them?"
Wu Xiu smiled and nodded.
The man was slightly surprised, "Let's go inside." ”
Wu Xiu had no choice but to hug his fists and enter Yao Village. This Yao village is the largest Yao village within a radius of 100 miles, it is a place that has developed into a market, and now it is the peak season for hunting and digging medicine, and every household has hanging dried animal skins and some medicinal materials at the door, waiting for the outside foot merchants to come in, exchange for things, or spend money to buy.
Now they have already learned to farm and weave some coarse cloth, and they have the ability to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and their lives are quite comfortable.
It was still Chen Sidao who led the way, and met many houses and many people along the way, and under the strange eyes of many people, the two arrived at the home of Vientiane, a unified house, a typical Yao family. Chen Sidao knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door was a woman with a black scarf on her head and wearing colorful clothes, and she was very good-looking, and Wu Xiu knew why Vientiane was willing to enter the Yao Village.
When the woman saw Chen Sidao, she asked in an extremely proficient Tianshuiwei dialect, "Sister, why are you here again?"
Chen Sidao grinned unnaturally and pointed at Wu Xiu, "He's here to find someone." ”
Wu Xiu asked, "What about Vientiane?"
"I went up to the mountains with my people to hunt, and I couldn't come back until two days later. Who are you?" said the woman.
"I'm the brother of Vientiane. Wu Xiu said with a smile.
Only then did the woman open the door and said sideways, "Please sit inside." ”
Fang Xiaowen walked out of the back room with a sleepy look on her face, her hair was a little messy, so she gently tidied it up.
After Wu Xiu entered the door, he saw Fang Xiaowen.
Fang Xiaowen also saw Wu Xiu, and then smiled.
Wu Xiu also smiled.
