Chapter 15: Invite the Mountain God
Because his squad is still a caravan, this is naturally not as good as Long Aotian's Jinyi Guard mode in terms of driving speed. The plan that the two sides of the army had come up with last night was an indispensable prerequisite for the www.biquge.info to be carried out smoothly and to survive the foothills of the Taoyuan Mountain. If you want to get through this Taoyuan Mountain smoothly and safely, you have to follow the rules of the rivers and lakes. The mountain is opened by others, and the road is in front of the mountain. If outsiders want to cross this mountain, they must invite the mountain god and get the consent of the big boss on Taoyuan Mountain before they can leave safely and smoothly.
If you act recklessly, not only may you provoke the green forest heroes on the mountain not to be dissatisfied, but also be calculated by some thieves in the rivers and lakes, Long Aotian, who rushed to the foot of Taoyuan Mountain before, is a living example.
Although the calm Xiao Xiao has never had any dealings with many people with lofty ideals on this Taoyuan Mountain, how can people drift in the rivers and lakes, how can they not understand the rules. Before leaving Suzhou City, Xiao Xiao instructed Zhao Hu and Qin Ming to purchase more than a dozen jars of good wine, dozens of catties of beef, dozens of chickens and ducks, 1 cow head, and 3 whole sheep, and placed them in the big wooden boxes behind the horse team, and then came to the foot of Taoyuan Mountain with confidence.
"Big brother, we've been following for so long, and we've also arrived at the foot of this Taoyuan Mountain, why don't we see the traces of Long Aotian and the others?"
Zhao Hu rode his horse and slowly drove to Xiao Xiao's side, who was walking in front.
"Second brother, you are wrong!"
At the foot of Taoyuan Mountain, Xiao Xiao rode on horseback and looked around slowly, watching the surrounding terrain.
"Am I wrong?"
didn't understand what his eldest brother meant, Zhao Hu looked dazed.
"Yes, big brother, although our speed is a little slower, it is impossible for Long Aotian and the others to cross the foot of Taoyuan Mountain so quickly, don't they still carry that Ninety-Nine Double Yang virgin?"
Now Ling Feng, one of the three sentences in his mouth is about Ouyang Ziling. It's just that they all chased to the foot of Taoyuan Mountain, but there was still no trace of Long Aotian and the others, which couldn't help but make me worry about Ouyang Ziling's safety.
"Don't worry, we dismount now, we can't get over the road ahead!"
Looking at the surprisingly quiet and wide road ahead, Xiao Xiao knew that at the foot of Taoyuan Mountain, the more quiet the road was, the more people had to pay attention, and if one was not careful, it would be completely annihilated.
"It's not that we haven't caught up with Long Aotian and their traces, we have all chased them to the foot of Taoyuan Mountain, just in the morning, I saw their arrogant Jinyi Guard's momentum, and it was impossible to pass through the foot of Taoyuan Mountain smoothly. The reason why we haven't seen Long Aotian and the others now, there is only one result I can think ofโit's not that we came too late, but that they were wiped out too quickly!"
Xiao Xiao was the first to dismount and walked carefully in front of the reins. After listening to the eldest brother's words just now, Ling Feng and the others also dismounted and followed their captain cautiously while looking around, carrying an unexpected attack that could happen at any time.
"Stop!"
When everyone was moving forward vigilantly and slowly, Xiao Xiao, who was walking in the front, suddenly made a stop gesture, and Ling Feng, who was concentrating on observing the surroundings, was startled by the sudden loud shout of the eldest brother.
"Now let's ask the mountain god! everyone do as I instructed!"
When he walked to a place with dense woods, Xiao Xiao decided to start doing things according to the rules of the rivers and lakes - please the mountain god!
"Kneel down to heaven and earth, celebrate the whole world!"
Xiao Xiao suddenly knelt on his knees in front of everyone, bowed his palms to the front, and shouted loudly in his mouth that only Jianghu people understand.
According to the eldest brother's instructions, although Ling Feng didn't know what it meant, he honestly and reverently imitated his eldest brother's every move, and at the same time read the spoken words aloud in his mouth.
"Two kneels are benevolent and righteous, brothers are united!"
Xiao Xiao continued to kneel down on his knees, his palms spread flat to the sky, and the spoken words in his mouth became louder and louder.
"Kneel three parents, serve your parents!"
Xiao Xiao still knelt down on his knees, his hands crossed together, and his palms supported the ground.
Ling Feng, who was honestly kneeling behind, also carefully imitated every kneeling action of the eldest brother, and the spoken language in his mouth was not inferior to the eldest brother's shouting.
Please pay attention to the etiquette of the mountain god, the big master of the mountain is the greatest, and outsiders need to kneel and bow three times and bow to this mountain. In the process of inviting the mountain god to salute, if the great master of the mountain thinks that this person is of good character, he will no longer ask you to follow the rules in every etiquette. On the contrary, if you just desecrate the rules set on the rivers and lakes with false affection, even if you prepare good wine and meat and break your head with great etiquette, you will not want to take another step forward.
The three kneelings have been completed, but they have not seen anyone in Taoyuan Mountain come down to send a message and spread the word. Xiao Xiao, who knew the rules of the rivers and lakes, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took his brother to continue to invite the mountain god and continue to perform the nine knocks. The spoken language of the previous three kneeling rites has been determined in the rivers and lakes, and it cannot be changed at will, and the person who bows only needs to shout loudly. And this nine-knock gift is to clearly tell the people on the mountain how much you have prepared for this trip to fight this mountain, and at the same time, you have to show your pride and ambition, so that the big boss can appreciate you.
"One knock on ten jars of wine, the altar of the blood alliance!"
"One knock on ten jars of wine, the altar of the blood alliance!"
The captain's words, and Ling Feng and the others in the back also repeated a sentence, although Ling Feng's heart didn't know how much reuse it was, but with the guidance of the eldest brother's loud spoken words, Ling Feng's potential pride in his heart was gradually stimulated, and a dark blue flame was beginning to ignite in the depths of his heart, but the cynical Ling Feng himself didn't realize it.
"Two knocks on beef and horse meat, don't look back!"
Inviting the mountain god is a solemn and extremely challenging thing for a person's patience, Xiao Xiao continued to lower his head, and spread his palms on the ground with his palms facing the sky.
Three knocks, four knocks, five knocks, six knocks, seven knocks, eight knocks have been completed, and finally the ninth knock is left, if the nine knocks are finished, Xiao Xiao and others still did not receive a reply from the people in Taoyuan Mountain, so Xiao Xiao and others had no choice but to return. Because there is only one way to die.
"Nine knocks on the blood bull's head, mighty will not leave!"
After completing the ceremony of inviting the mountain god to kneel three times and bow nine times, Xiao Xiao, who was still kneeling on the ground, slowly stood up, and Ling Feng, Zhao Hu and others next to him also got up. A group of 7 people stood quietly in place, looking around at Taoyuan Mountain, where there was no end in sight and no depth in sight, waiting for an answer that might be there.
"The people under the mountain, the etiquette has been exhausted, so I went up the mountain with my brother ......"
I stood there and waited for a while, but suddenly I heard a strong voice coming from the depths of the Taoyuan Mountain. After a while, a skinny little brother with a knife took Xiao Xiao and the others to Taoyuan Mountain......
