When Huang Siyu's three daughters wandered around the night market in Qizhou City, Zhang Chengluo, Wang Yuehan, Fang Jinggang, He Minfeng, and Huang Sihai were surrounded by a group of natives at the moment.

After they said goodbye to Hou Xiaohu and left the Dongting Great Lake area, they followed Xiangshui all the way south, passing by Changsha Mansion and Hengzhou City in the ancient Hunan region of Nanzhou without stopping, and arrived at Yongzhou City by boat all the way, and then stopped.

In the following ten days, they changed from water to land, and continued southward all the way, so that they reached Ningyuan County, Yongzhou City.

What attracted the five sons of Dongzhou to such a distant and desolate place was actually the Nine Mountains located in Ningyuan County.

The Qiwangbao Arsenal, the headquarters of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, not only has the most complete and abundant martial arts system in the entire Jianghu heritage, but also has a huge underground library that is unimaginable to the world. This huge underground library contains countless books in the world, many of which are unique or impossible to find at all, and can be found in the collection of the underground library of the Qiwangbao Arsenal.

Of course, among these books, the most popular books for the men of the Five Merchants Alliance are naturally the books of the Zhi Monster category.

And Zhang Chengluo, the five of them read a lot of books on geographical knowledge such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Notes on the Book of Water".

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" cloud: "The hills of the southern cangwu, the abyss of the cangwu, among which there are nine mountains, where Shun is buried." ”

"Water Jing Note: Xiangshui" cloud: "Yingshui is out of Nanshan in Yingyangling Dao County, and at the foot of Jiuyi Mountain in the west flow path. The wilderness of Panji, between the peaks and shows several counties, Luo Yan nine moves, each leads a stream; Xiu gully bears the resistance, different ridges have the same potential; the tourists are suspicious, so it is called the nine suspicious mountains. ”

The mountain of nine ridges, also known as the mountain of nine doubts or Cangwu Mountain, is recorded in history as the place where the ancient emperor Yu Shun was buried. Shunnan patrol collapsed in the wilderness, buried in the south of the Yangtze River Jiuzhi, the second concubine and the queen daughter Ying came all the way to seek, traced the Xiaoshui upstream, along the large and small Bauhinia River; because the nine peaks are similar, it is confusing, and finally not seen.

Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty have gone to the Nine Peaks Mountain to worship Yu Shun the Great, and there are many famous people in the past dynasties who come to worship Yu Shun the Great.

Zhang Chengluo and the others came here naturally to visit the Nine Peaks Mountain. After all, in addition to the legend of Emperor Yu Shun, the mountain of Jiuzhi is a place with beautiful scenery and unique scenery.

Of course, in addition to the legends and scenery, the Nine Ridges Mountain is also the place where the Yao people live near the ancient Hunan land, the ancient Guangdong land and the ancient Gui land. The history of the Yao people is very long, and it can even be traced back to the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and they claim to be the descendants of Panwang, with the totem of Panwang, as well as the four surnames of Pan, Lan, Lei and Zhong. They also settled in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins, but after the wars between many tribes in ancient times, the wars of the princes of the Xia and Shang dynasties, and the wars or oppression of the previous dynasties, the Yao people were forced to gradually move south from the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins, and at the same time carried out various differentiation and combinations, and now they are scattered among the mountains and forests of Nanzhou.

The wealthy Yao tribe is already close to the social level of the Eastern Central Plains, while the poor Yao tribe is still "in the valley group", and even does not engage in farming, but hunts mountain beasts for a living, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge.

Of course, because they live in the mountains and forests and live a simple and primitive life, the Yao people have always been simple and hospitable, not hypocritical or pretentious. It's just that in the past 100 years, due to the heavy taxes of the central imperial court, the contradictions between the Yao people and the local officials have become more and more heavy. It also makes the originally hospitable Yao people, but now they are less enthusiastic about the Han people who come to their tribe, and they are more vigilant.

It is also for this reason that when Zhang Chengluo, Wang Yuehan, Fang Jinggang, He Minfeng, and Huang Sihai, five people with weapons, approached a Yao tribe, they were surrounded by a group of Yao people.

Looking at the group of Yao people who were waiting for them with primitive and simple bows and arrows, Zhang Chengluo and the five of them couldn't help but stand in a circle, took out their respective weapons, and faced those Yao people.

The five of them are now close to the level of demigod masters, and it should have been easy to spot those Yao people. After all, the strength of those ordinary Yao people is only the same as the strength of the eight or ninth masters of the outside world, but they live in the mountains and forests all the year round and make a living by hunting wild beasts in the mountains and forests, so they naturally have a set of methods to hide their tracks from being discovered by people.

So much so that when those Yao people surrounded Zhang Chengluo and the five of them, the five of them reacted.

Fortunately, those Yao people just surrounded them and pointed their bows and arrows at them, and did not attack the five of them indiscriminately as soon as they came up.

Zhang Chengluo and the others just waited patiently and didn't rush to do it.

The five people stood back to back, Zhang Chengluo on He Minfeng's left, Fang Jinggang on his right, Wang Yuehan on Zhang Chengluo's left, and Huang Sihai was in the middle between Wang Yuehan and Fang Jinggang.

Seeing that those Yao people were just besieging but not attacking, Fang Jinggang, who couldn't bear the loneliness the most, quietly touched Zhang Chengluo with his elbow, and asked in a voice that only the five of them could hear: "Lao Zhang, who do you say these natives will be? Why don't you just surround us without moving?"

Zhang Chengluo naturally didn't know what their Yao people were going to do, but he could still tell that they were from the Yao people based on their clothes, so he stared at those Yao people with his eyes and whispered to the brothers behind him: "These should be Yao people, I don't know what Yao people are." I don't know what they're going to do, so let's be patient. As long as they don't do it, let's not do it first. ”

"It's too boring, isn't it?" He Minfeng complained quietly, but he wouldn't do anything for the time being.

Although there are only five of them, after all, they are all masters, and although there are more than thirty Yao people surrounding them, if they really fight, the Yao people are not their opponents if they are doubled.

But after all, they have no old enmity with the Yao people, so they naturally won't do it unless they have to.

Of course, if he had changed the second young master Wang Yuelong, he would have been pointed at with a bow and arrow like this, he would have turned around a long time ago, and he would have picked them up first.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the Yao people facing Zhang Chengluo's direction suddenly separated, and then a Yao woman walked in.
