Chapter 16: Insect Corpse III

I couldn't help but mention the spirit of the twelve, since he could say that I escaped from the Death Swamp, it was definitely not without purpose, he must have known something about the relationship between the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall. www.biquge.info It's just that now my brain is like a paste by him, and I can't guess his origin at all, and I don't dare to be careless.

If he is really from the Immortal Hall, then wouldn't I be being targeted by the people of the Immortal Hall again? I asked carefully, "How could the gentleman say that?"

He put his hands behind his back and said: "Gu Youren probably doesn't know that my Heavenly Wolf Clan is located in the extreme west of the Western Regions, which can be said to be located on the border of the Western Regions, the place of poor mountains and bad waters, although you Song Dynasty merchants have traveled the world, but they have never been to us, and I have never heard of anyone who can dart here." ”

I was stunned for a moment and said, "No businessmen?"

He nodded, but still didn't turn around, and said with a wry smile: "Not only are there no merchants, even the bandits you mentioned will not come to this barren land, and the only ones who can come here are the envoys of the Song Dynasty who you came to appease......"

His two words were like a basin of cold water, from my head pocket to the soles of my feet. There were no merchants, and no bandits, so wasn't what I had fabricated before telling them nonsense? But in this way, when I was in the bamboo building before, the patriarch of the Sky Wolf Clan and Kang Ping also knew that I was lying?

Looking at Nagu's back, I only felt a burst of heat on my face, and secretly scolded myself for not figuring out the situation here but really self-defeating, and I wish I could hide in the wooden house now. He and the patriarch of the Sky Wolf Clan didn't immediately demolish me at that time, I'm afraid it's really because I'm just a Central Plains person, but I complicated their thoughts.

The more I thought about it, the more embarrassed I felt, and I didn't know what to say, so I said a little worriedly: "But why do you think I've been to the Swamp of Death?"

Na Gu Chang let out a long sigh and said, "Friend Gu, you know this kind of thing better than me now, why bother asking many times? Everyone in the world knows that there is a place of death in the Western Regions, and the people in the rivers and lakes who come are all treasures in the swamp, but everyone in the world also knows that the Death Swamp is the holy place of the Demon Sect's Immortal Hall. The people of the Immortal Hall are ferocious and hated by everyone, and it is not a matter of a year or two that your Seven Great Sects are crusading against each other with justice, and even when I was very young, I had already heard the elders of the clan mention the grievances between the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall. The miasma of the Death Swamp dissipates every ten years, and it is no longer a secret thing, I heard that the death storm has temporarily subsided, and at this time, aren't the people in the rivers and lakes who will still walk around in the Western Regions come out of the Death Swamp?"

Has the news spread that the confrontation between the Immortal Hall and the Seven Great Sects has been decided? Indeed, the Death Swamp resurfaces once every ten years, and compared to a person like me, how can the people of the Western Regions tribes not know? If I were Nagu, I would definitely guess like this.

Unexpectedly, I was smart but was mistaken by being smart, but I had already shown my feet. I was still a little puzzled, and said, "So, how do you conclude that I am a member of the Seven Great Sects and not a member of the Immortal Hall?"

Nagu just smiled faintly and said, "The people of the Immortal Hall won't care so much about a small Nanla clan, hehe." ”

The Nanla is the name of their tribe, right?

I was a little stunned, it turned out that he guessed my origin based on these, although there was a slight source, but his guess was basically the same.

However, since he can accuse the Immortal Hall of misconduct, it seems that he is also quite jealous of the Immortal Hall, which should also be what I worried him the most, so he had the previous inquiry. The reputation of the Immortal Hall is far and wide, even the people of their local tribe do not dare to provoke it, he did not directly ask me if I am a disciple of the Immortal Hall, but instead asked me if I am a member of the Seven Great Sects, whether I admit it or not, he will not tear his face, just wait for the dawn to let us go, and their Heavenly Wolf Clan will also be at peace.

The mind of this wizard of the Heavenly Wolf Clan is indeed meticulous and abnormal.

In any case, it doesn't work to lie that he was just a dart here, but fortunately, he is worried about the Immortal Hall, not the Seven Great Sects, and I don't plan to deceive him anymore. I don't know why, after he exposed the lie, now I am much more relaxed, and said with a wry smile: "I really can't imagine that there are such characters as Mr. in the Sky Wolf Clan." It turned out that Mr. had already guessed that if he was really wise, he had indeed escaped from the swamp of death, but I was not a member of the Seven Great Sects, but came with me. ”

Nagu turned around, looked at me and said, "Aren't you from the Seven Great Sects?"

I said, "No, I will only come to the Death Swamp at the invitation of the people of the Seven Great Sects. ”

His face was a little relieved, and he leaned against the old tree, as if muttering, "Maybe it's better if you are not from the Seven Great Sects." Our Heavenly Wolf Clan is just a mustard tribe, and we can't get on the stage, and the several confrontations between your Seven Great Sects of the Central Plains and the Immortal Hall have already caused panic among the people of the Western Regions, and even those big tribes don't dare to interfere in the slightest, and we can only pretend not to know......"

He said it a little pathetic, I don't know what he did when he suddenly told me this, but the competition between the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall will definitely affect all parties in the Western Regions, causing people to be uneasy, and their Heavenly Wolf Clan doesn't want to be involved. Regardless of the status of the Seven Great Sects in the Central Plains, it would be easy to destroy a large tribe without any reason relying solely on the arrogance of the Immortal Hall in the Western Regions and the skills of Fang Jingwen, the Four Great Altar Masters, and others. And as far as I know, in this confrontation between the two sides in the Death Swamp, I can't see anyone from the Western Regions tribe intervening at all, even if I think about it, I'm afraid I don't have that ability.

Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh and continued: "This is the land of rotten holes, and it can't afford to toss anymore, the Western Regions are already mixed, and it is not easy to survive, and the repeated melee between the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall has made this land even worse, in order to survive, many tribes have chosen to relocate, and our Heavenly Wolf is also among them." ”

I also feel the same way about what he said. The battle between the two sides of the righteous and demonic sides was too bloody, and the hatred for no reason was unimaginable, and in the first few days when we were trapped in the Death Swamp, when Master Benkong launched a sneak attack plan to the Immortal Hall, a disciple of the Blue Dragon Altar and a disciple of the Seven Great Sects killed him in the forest, but he didn't even care about his own life. They are red-eyed, and they do everything. I don't know what the two sides will do when they come out of the Swamp of Death, it's okay to come to the side of the Seven Great Sects, there is a long day and Master Benkong to control them, no matter what the disciples of the Seven Great Sects say, they will not do anything out of the ordinary, I am afraid that the people of the Immortal Hall will have evil thoughts, and it is possible to kill a few people casually to vent their anger after eating grievances, and it is also possible that it is not as simple as a few people.

When he said this, I couldn't help but feel ashamed again. Although I am not a member of the Seven Great Sects, I still follow here, and the confrontation between the righteous and the demons has affected the Western Regions, no matter what, we outsiders have disturbed the peace of their local tribes after all, and I will not escape the blame. Maybe Na Gu is not ashamed of the Immortal Hall, but I believe that the people of their Western Regions tribes do not want to see the people of the Seven Great Sects trample on their land.

Thinking this in my heart, I said, "You also know that it is not easy to live, but why do you want to kill their people? It's also about living?"

Nagu hung his head slightly, and under the moonlight, his back seemed to be a little more depressed, and he said in a low voice: "Actually, we don't want to hunt down the people of the Nanla tribe, it's just ......"

He suddenly stopped, and I was curious again, and asked, "Just what?"

He looked at me for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Friend Gu, probably you still don't know the conditions proposed by your imperial court if the tribe of the Western Regions wants to move to your Great Song Dynasty, right?"

I don't know why, his words suddenly reminded me of the dark wizard Shanping of the Shangbo Yu clan that I met when I first entered the territory of Tubo with Cheng Fuhai and others, and he said the same thing to Cheng Fuhai at that time, if the tribes of the Western Regions want to return to the Great Song Dynasty, there must be conditions. It's just that at that time, I didn't know anything about the situation between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Regions, and the conditions they said were only policy consultations.

And now that I think about it, the helplessness in Shanping's words at that time and the look of the ancient desire to stop talking now make me want to know even more what the conditions proposed by the imperial court are. I said, "Dare to ask sir, I don't know what kind of conditions my Great Song Dynasty court proposed?"

Nagu pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at the night sky, and said, "If we want to move to your Song soil, we must pay the heads of people who do not obey the tribe, full hundred." ”

"What!"

The last two words he said were very heavy, and I couldn't help but be surprised, and said: "If you return to the imperial court, do you still have to take the head of a hundred people as a condition? This is really proposed by the Great Song Dynasty?"

I only heard Nagu say slowly: "It is indeed your Great Song Dynasty that the court proposed that my Heavenly Wolf Clan is already poor, and I have no intention of competing with the Nanla Clan for territory. Later, the envoy of your court came here, and the patriarch promised to return to the court of the Great Song Dynasty in order to make the clan live a better life. It's just that there is no way back for us at that time, and it is not our willingness to hunt down the Nanla, and cannibalism is just to scare them, I just hope that they can leave here as soon as possible. ”

If he really said so, what is the difference between the imperial court and a gang of bandits? I have always lived in the Central Plains, and although I have not had much investment in the imperial court, the prosperity of the Central Plains and the peace and security of the country and the people are all in my eyes, how can such a big country do such a thing?

I just didn't believe it, looked at him and said, "Sir, isn't it joking with me, how can I put forward such conditions to you as a big country and a gentleman?"

Na Gu's face turned pale, his voice raised a little, and said: "That's the case, believe it or not, it's up to Gu Youren, but all the tribes in the Western Regions that return to the Song Dynasty will be put forward with this kind of condition, not only my Heavenly Wolf Clan, but when Gu Youren leaves here tomorrow and returns to Middle Earth to find the tribe that returns to Shun, you will know." ”

I can't imagine the cruelty of the imperial court being able to put forward such harsh conditions. What is the reason why the Guishun tribe had to sacrifice the heads of 100 people of other tribes before they could move to the Great Song Dynasty? If what the ancient people in front of them said was false, then why was Shanping of the Shangbo Yu clan so difficult to talk about when he mentioned this so-called condition?

Could it be that what Nagu said is true?

My head was dizzy for a while, I couldn't imagine that I could learn such a thing from Nagu's mouth, and I didn't dare to believe it.

Na Gu seemed to see through my thoughts, his tone softened a little, and said, "Friend Gu, I'm a little out of shape." ”
