Chapter 18: The Blue Bird Merchants
After dealing with the Gengshan matter, Zhang Shiping and his group of five began to march to Kongsang Mountain
After 300 miles to Dufu Mountain, and then 380 miles to Yu'e Mountain. There, Zhang Shiping finally saw the vitality of the mountains again. For this reason, he also deliberately stayed in the mountains for two more days to soothe his mood.
There is also a sealed beast at the foot of Yu'e Mountain, which according to the moon halo has the ability to resist locusts. However, Zhang Shiping didn't see it, because the place where the seal was sealed was in the water.
After Yu'e Mountain, it is Geshan. Geshan stretches for thousands of miles, and it is also harmed by wild beasts, and it is a mess.
Thousands of miles later, passing through the two mountains of Yigao and Cao Xi, it took more than half a month for the five people to finally come to Kongsang Mountain.
Kongsang Mountain is bordered by water in the north and Daze in the west. The mountains are like people with open hands, and in the center they form a huge valley that is like spring all year round.
There are many green vines in the valley, and the fruit trees grow at four o'clock. Everywhere is green, insects and birds are singing, it is really a blessed place in the world. No wonder every time they mention Kongsang Mountain, Yuehalo and Qingluo are full of pride.
Following behind the moon halo, Zhang Shiping enjoyed this rare scenery comfortably. In the green shade, a little girl appeared from time to time, and most of them greeted each other with a smile. I was not afraid to see Zhang Shiping, a stranger, but I looked at it curiously, and a few of them were bold, and they picked some fruits for Zhang Shiping.
Accepting the fruit with a smile, Zhang Shiping felt more and more that he liked it here.
Walking through the shade of the trees, it suddenly dawned. Waterfalls cascade down from the top of the mountain, creating gorgeous rainbow shadows in the sun. Under the waterfall are wooden houses scattered on the ground at random, most of which are exquisite.
Standing on the sidelines, looking at such a scene, it is really refreshing.
"Zhang Shiping, you are here first, let Qian'er and Xi'er look around. Moon Halo and I need to report to the clan's witch priests first. ”
Qingluo grabbed Yuedi's hand, turned around, and said with a grin.
Zhang Shiping didn't have any opinion on this, waved his hand, and signaled them to be free.
After Xi'er and Qian'er returned to Kongsang Mountain, their expressions became a lot more active. Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Zhang Shiping smiled and said:
"If you two have anything to do, go ahead first, and I'll just walk around by myself. ”
Looking at the happy appearance of the two little girls, Zhang Shiping shook his head. Suddenly remembered something, and asked casually:
"By the way, you Huaxu Clan don't have any taboos or forbidden places or anything like that, right?"
"The clan is where everyone lives, how can there be such a forbidden place! Sure enough, as Aunt Yuehalo said, you are really a strange person. ”
The two little girls held hands, grimaced, and looked back as they ran happily.
Shrugging, Zhang Shiping did not dismiss their evaluation. Then he wandered around alone.
The aura of water and wood here is quite abundant, and you may be able to cultivate here for a while.
Walking around and stopping, Zhang Shiping subconsciously assessed.
His current location was right in the southern corner of the valley. When I looked up, I just saw a lively place.
Curious, he walked over and found that it was a group of women from the Huaxu clan who were exchanging colorful shells with a group of men with their own rattan armor.
The men were all slender, with bare upper bodies, but they wore leather shoes. Most of them also had two or three short spears pinned to them. After a little guessing, Zhang Shiping thought that these people were the caravan of the Blue Bird Clan that Yue Halo had told him.
Walking in front of a bluebird man, Zhang Shiping looked at the colorful shellfish that the women were happily choosing. only to find that these are just ordinary things, except for beauty, there is no special use.
But after thinking about it, Zhang Shiping also turned his brain. For these women, the gorgeous appearance of these shells is what they love.
Shaking his head with a smile, Zhang Shiping also understood that it was impossible for him to find anything useful here. He turned around and prepared to leave.
"This brother, since you're here, why don't you sit down for a while?"
Zhang Shiping looked around and saw a long-armed young man holding a stone spear, lazily leaning against a tree, half-squinting, and greeting.
"There's nothing I'm looking for here. ”
Zhang Shiping replied politely.
"It's a woman's gadget, so naturally you don't want anything. You look like a witch, come with me. ”
With a slight leap, the man straightened up. Patting the dust off his body, he walked in front and spoke.
There was nothing to do, so Zhang Shiping followed the man with a little curiosity.
"You don't seem to be from Zhu Li or the White Bird Clan, are you? ”
Seeing Zhang Shiping following, the man asked in an affirmative tone.
"I'm Ziyu from the Blue Bird Clan, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
The man carried his stone spear and smiled lightly.
Yuehalo once said to Zhang Shiping that the surname of the Blue Bird family, the surname of Zhu Li's Hua, and the surname of the White Bird family. However, in each clan, only witches or warriors who are recognized by the crowd have a surname. The guy in front of him, who calls himself 'Ziyu', can be regarded as a hero of this era.
"You can call me Zhang Shiping. But Ziyu, are you a witch?"
Zhang Shiping asked.
"Of course, although I was just baptized this year. But it's a real witch. ”
Ziyu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhang Shiping and said.
"But now I'm sure you're not from our Eastern Clan. Our Blue Bird Clan walks in the wilderness, and the best thing is to hide their own breath. Everybody knows that. ”
Zhang Shiping glanced at the man and nodded.
"Indeed, I've only been here for a short time. But the concealment aura is really a good ability. ”
"yes? I think so, too. Well, here we are. ”
Ziyu unceremoniously accepted Zhang Shiping's compliment, and then pointed to a place in front of him where more than a dozen people gathered.
It just so happened that Qian'er and Xi'er happened to be there. Seeing Zhang Shiping coming, he immediately shouted.
"Hey, Zhang Shiping, come here. Tell them about the pottery. ”
Walking over, Zhang Shiping found that the dozen or so people gathered together for the pottery that the two pyrotechnics gave them.
"So you're the one with Dow. I am the son of the Blue Bird Clan, and I am very happy to hear that a new clan has been born. I'm very interested in this kind of pottery, I wonder if I can exchange it for our Blue Bird Clan?"
A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, opened his arms, and said to Zhang Shiping with a smile.
"There's Dow?"
Zhang Shiping smiled helplessly, he didn't expect that the name that Yuehalo gave herself would really be called.
However, Zhang Shiping was very interested in this suggestion of the Blue Bird Clan.
"I've only just arrived in the East, but I've heard of the name of the Blue Bird Clan's caravan. If you're willing to go to Yin Shan's side, I think they'll be willing to make a deal with you. ”
"Yin Shan, speaking of which, we haven't been to the Blue Bird Clan since the Rebellion of the Desolate Beasts a hundred years ago, but I didn't expect a new clan to appear there. The west wind has blown, and we will go over to Yin Mountain when we return to Qinshan. “
Zihan sighed.
"But for now, let's get rid of these two pieces of pottery first. Xi'er, Qian'er, you also know that these pottery are all clay fired, and it is too greedy to want to exchange them for two pearls of the White Bird Clan. Only one at most. ”
Watching Zihan turn around and bargain with the two little girls in a serious manner, Zhang Shiping felt that this scene was so familiar. It's like the bargaining when I was a child when I picked up rags for osmanthus candy.
"But a stone jar can be exchanged for five pearls. Although this clay pot is not as strong as a stone pot, it is much easier to use than a stone pot. At least two pearls!"
Qian'er insisted on it, and she didn't let go, and she didn't care what Zi Han said.
"Forget it, two is two. Don't toss with you little girl. ”
Zihan said that his mouth was dry, but he couldn't convince the two little girls. Reluctantly, he took out four pearls from the animal skin pocket on his body and handed them to the two of them.
"Huh!"
Looking at Mingzhu, Zhang Shiping was slightly surprised. At first, he thought that this so-called pearl was an interesting ornament with those colored shells outside. Unexpectedly, there is abundant vitality in it.
"Can you show me?"
Zhang Shiping asked.
"Give. But you're going to pay me back!"
Qian'er simply stretched out a hand and handed it to Zhang Shiping, but when Zhang Shiping picked it up, he shrank slightly, and told him a little uneasily. The people around him all laughed when they saw this.
"Don't worry, you won't be without your baby!"
Taking the beads, Zhang Shiping said with a helpless smile.
I took it in my hand and weighed it carefully, and the beads were still quite heavy. The pearl is moon-white and round, but irregular. It contains the gentle power of the moon, which is quite suitable for the attributes of the Huaxu clan's witch.
After reading it, he hurriedly returned the little girl who looked at him, to be honest, Zhang Shiping really couldn't stand it.
"Alright, sir, let's take out some good things on you. I specially pulled Zhang Shiping over. ”
Ziyu put the stone spear aside, leaned on the tree, bowed impatiently, and said.
"You kid really don't know how to respect people. Look at how lazy you look, because when you were a child, you said that you wanted to marry a Huaxu woman as a wife!"
Zihan slapped Ziyu on the shoulder and said loudly.
"Ziyu still has such ambitions. But Ziyu also looks very good, my sister just hasn't participated in the full moon festival for a long time. Why don't you invite Xiao Ziyu this year!"
A rather plump Huaxu witch stroked her hair and said with a smile at Ziyu.
"Look, didn't someone want me! Besides, no matter how bad I am, it's much better than the guy from the Zhu Li clan who never looks at people properly. ”
Ziyu pursed her lips, hugged her head, and said in a rushing tone.
