Chapter 221: Sand City (3/5)
The rain came as soon as it came, and as soon as it came, it was a torrential rain with a gust of wind, and the sound of the rain hitting the roofs and the ground sounded like the sound of hail falling on the ground. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xiao entered the big round house with people and horses, although the roof of the round house was a little dilapidated, and the rain dripped directly from the dew point, but on the whole, it was still able to shelter from the wind and rain, which was not a big deal.
After looking at the sky outside, when the rain was pouring down, the sky had unconsciously completely darkened. And in this kind of bad weather, it is even darker and faster, and after a while, it is pitch black all around.
Xiao Suifeng packed some dry firewood in the roundhouse, lit it with a fire breaker, and immediately illuminated the entire roundhouse. Xiao Suifeng had time to take a good look at the situation in the round house.
The structure of the round house is very simple, with more than a dozen hardwood pillars on all sides, counting the base of the wall of the round house. And in the middle of the round house, there is another extraordinarily thick column, which just supports the distant roof.
The round house where Xiao Suifeng is at the moment is much larger and stronger than the other houses in the village, and it is either a special place for activities in the village, or the residence of the most powerful people in the village. However, although this roundhouse is large, it is not divided into different areas like other roundhouses, and the first guess should be more likely.
It's just that the current round house is empty, except for a few dilapidated tables and tables, there are basically no other objects, I think the people in this village have collected all the things in this big house when they left.
Xiao Suifeng took a turn in this big round house, and his eyes finally fell on the big cylinder in the center, on the big cylinder that Xiao Suifeng could not surround with the wind, depicting the picture from top to bottom, it seemed to be a narrative picture, but maybe because no one had cleaned it up for too long, the picture was already a little blurry, and the specific meaning of the painting was not clear.
Although Li Yi is one of the three major alien races in this great wilderness, like the ghost slaves and the Tu tribe, and has an extremely long history, he still has no writing of his own. Of course, this is not only the Li Yi family, but also the Tu people, who also only have their own language, but not their own writing.
In the beginning, most of these alien races relied on knotting ropes or drawing pictures to remember, and later, with more contact with the Central Plains peoples, although the wars between the two were frequent, it can be described as a feud, but in the upper echelons of the three alien races, they were basically devoted to the culture of the Central Plains Chinese nation.
Needless to say, among the upper-class aristocracy, the Chinese people directly used the Chinese language, and even the ghost slaves and other ethnic groups that developed their own scripts accepted the culture of the Central Plains to a large extent after a long time of contact with the Chinese people in the Central Plains.
While the three major alien races and the Central Plains Dynasty were fighting endlessly, the upper-class nobles of the three races were all yearning for the culture of the Central Plains, of course, this was mainly because the wealth of the Central Plains had always deeply attracted them. Even if it is the ghost slave tribe, looking at the tribe, there are definitely not as many people who can speak their own national language as there are probably not as many people who can write Chinese language.
At this moment, the painting on this pillar is thought to have been painted by the original mountain people in this village, and it may not be necessary to record the history of this village.
Unlike the great unification of the Central Plains Dynasty, there has never been a real unification within the three major alien races. Take Li Yi as an example, the small village where Xiao Suifeng is located at the moment may be an independent small tribe. Only when the central tribe is really strong enough to subdue the Quartet, the countless tribes, large and small, will choose to surrender, and if a powerful tribe stands up, the three major alien races are actually in a state of scattered sand.
Just like in this generation, there is a male master in the ghost slave clan, so the strength and cohesion of the entire ghost slave clan are getting stronger and stronger, and the threat to the Central Plains Dakang Dynasty is also getting bigger and bigger. Although the Li clan does not have a male lord like the ghost slave clan, it also has a good leader, and the control and integration of the Li Yi clan is not bad.
Among the three major alien races, the most disadvantaged is probably the Tu tribe in the mountains and forests of the northeast, and there is no powerful role that can really lead the entire nation, so far people are in a state of scattered sand, so that most of the original land has been controlled by the Dakang court, only the land in the deep mountains and dense forests that is difficult to control or has no value for the Dakang Dynasty is still controlled by the Tu people, but overall, for the Central Plains Dynasty, it has also lost its threat.
Xiao Suifeng stared at the pillar and glanced at it, and it could be seen in general, it seemed to be the process of a group of people migrating and fighting against various gods, monsters and monsters, thinking that his guess should be not wrong, it should be the history of the Li Yi tribe in the village, but it was specific, but Xiao Suifeng couldn't see it clearly.
Shaking his head, Xiao Suifeng no longer paid attention to the pillar, but just found a dry place, sat down cross-legged, and remembered the tracker who had been following him before.
The heavy rain outside blocked Xiao Suifeng's perception of the qi, but although he couldn't feel it, Xiao Suifeng could guess that the tracker should have followed him to this village, looking at the pouring rain outside, I am afraid that he was hiding in a round house in this village at this moment.
No matter what, as long as that person doesn't take the initiative to come out to trouble him, let him go, but let's see how strong the perseverance of this righteous path spy is.
Thinking like this in his heart, Xiao Suifeng ate some dry food, sat cross-legged, and breathed, although it was pouring rain outside the house, Xiao Suifeng seemed to hear nothing.
......
Heavy rain in the mountains and forests generally comes quickly and quickly, but it also goes quickly. However, it is obvious that this is just an ordinary situation, and Xiao Suifeng has encountered a special case.
The sudden heavy rain turned out to have fallen all night, so that Xiao Suifeng was a little worried in the second half of the night, whether such a heavy rain would cause flash floods, or simply collapse the already dilapidated round house.
This is not Xiao Suifeng's unfounded worries, as the heavy rain continued to pour, Xiao Suifeng clearly heard several muffled sounds like thunder outside the roundhouse, of course, it was not the sound of thunder, but the rest of the roundhouses in the village, which were already a little crumbling, completely collapsed in this heavy rain, and the momentum was amazing.
The rain rained all night before it finally stopped.
At this time, the unpredictable weather in the mountains and forests is like a change of face, which can be regarded as a real show. The night before, it was still raining heavily, and the sound was terrifying, but as soon as the rain stopped, it disappeared in a blink of an eye, and even not long after, the sun had already climbed up, hanging high in the air, leaving a long rainbow in the sky just after the heavy rain.
Xiao led the horse out of the big house with the wind, and between the dozen or so round houses that seemed to exist well yesterday, after this night rain, most of them collapsed, and at this moment, only a few lonely round houses were still standing in the ruins, but they also looked crumbling, and it was estimated that if there was another heavy rain, it would easily collapse.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but feel a little afraid, fortunately, when he was looking for a place last night, he found a big round house that looked the most sturdy, and now that he thinks about it, it is a very wise thing.
It's just that I don't know what happened to the person who followed me?
Xiao Suifeng thought in his heart, and was about to lead the horse to prepare for the road, but after the heavy rain, the mountain road was muddy and difficult to walk, and it was estimated that it was impossible to gallop on the horse, so he could only slowly lead the horse to walk for a while.
Xiao led the horse out of the village with the wind, and before he had walked long, his brows furrowed slightly.
Unlike yesterday, Xiao Suifeng could only vaguely feel the qi of the person who was tracking, but at this moment, Xiao Suifeng could clearly feel the breath of the person who was tracking, and it should be not far from him. Moreover, judging from the vain fluctuation of that person's breath, the person who tracked him was probably not in a very good state at the moment.
This made Xiao Suifeng frown slightly, "Is this that person's original health is not very good, or, did he really stay up in the heavy rain all night last night and couldn't support it?"
This thought flashed in his heart, but Xiao Suifeng had another thought.
Xiao Suifeng's original plan was to use speed and time to get rid of the person who was tracking, but at the moment, because of the muddy mountain road after the heavy rain, he couldn't speed up at all, and this plan naturally couldn't be realized for the time being.
However, the state of the person who was tracking at this moment gave Xiao Suifeng another choice. The state of the person who chased him at this moment must be very poor, so that not only was his breath vain, but even the breath that should have been hidden was exposed to Xiao Suifeng's perception.
This made Xiao Suifeng hesitate, should he take this opportunity to simply solve the trouble of the person who was tracking?
Of course, the solution in Xiao Suifeng's heart at this moment is not to kill people, but in fact, there are many ways to solve trouble, and there is not only one way to kill people.
Leading the horse and walking slowly, Xiao Suifeng hesitated for a moment in his heart, and finally made a decision.
I saw a man and a horse walking along the mountain road where they had arrived at the village yesterday, and it took nearly twice as long as yesterday before finally returning to the main road. Looking at the main road again, although it is not as muddy as the fork in the mountain road, it is not too much to talk about, and it is still not fast on this road.
So, Xiao Suifeng immediately decided, a man and a horse just stepped on the avenue, Xiao Suifeng gently calmed the mount next to him, but it was violent, first shook the reins of the horse, wrapped the reins around a tree trunk, and then stepped lightly under his feet, and suddenly, the whole body jumped up and swept backwards.
Xiao Suifeng finally made a decision, and was ready to directly solve the trouble behind him first.
Judging from the current situation of the road, Xiao Suifeng has no way to improve his speed, and even compared to the progress that Xiao Suifeng planned before, I am afraid that it is much behind. But Xiao Suifeng is not very clear about the situation of the person who is following Xiao Suifeng, he only knows that he is a little weak at the moment, but he doesn't know how long this weakness can last.
In case the situation of the avenue is not good, the situation of the person who is tracking is recovered, and it is really not easy for him to get rid of the other party.
Therefore, after thinking twice, Xiao Suifeng finally made the first move, and then solved the trouble at this moment.
Xiao Suifeng's sudden attack was extremely fast, but in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the location of the person he had originally determined.
It's just that although the tracking person is not in a particularly good state at the moment, his quality is still there, and he realized that he had been exposed at the first time, and he immediately withdrew, Xiao Suifeng only saw a gray shadow flashing, and the tracking person flashed into the dense forest.
Since it had already happened, Xiao Suifeng naturally couldn't let the opponent escape so easily, and when the figure in mid-air suddenly turned, he chased after the opponent again.
Xiao Suifeng's body may not be as agile as the person who is tracking, but the light skill is also top-notch, if the person who is tracking Xiao Suifeng is in a normal state, Xiao Suifeng may not be able to catch up, but at the moment, that person's state is obviously a little bad.
However, it can also be seen from this that although the other party's state is a little poor, Xiao Suifeng exerted all his strength, but he could only barely keep up, and it was a little difficult to further surpass or capture the other party.
However, Xiao Suifeng was not discouraged, and still chased behind the man as fast as he could. Xiao Suifeng is not worried that the opponent will escape from his subordinates, the person who is tracking is obviously in a weak state, and I am afraid that it will not be long before he will not be able to hold on.
At this moment, Xiao Suifeng was jealous of the person who was tracking and curious.
As the distance between the two narrowed, Xiao Suifeng could be regarded as seeing the opponent clearly.
The opponent only has a mid-level cultivation in the potential realm, dressed in gray, with a thin body, and I am afraid that the size is only up to Xiao Suifeng's shoulders, and his body shape is also a little thin, which is in line with the image of Xiao Suifeng's impression of a master of light skills, after all, although there are also extraordinary light skills among the fat people, but on the whole, those who can practice peerless light skills are still a little thinner.
It's just that although Xiao Suifeng can see the person's figure and strength clearly, the other party's face is not clear. Like Xiao Suifeng's face with a silver mask, the face of the person who was tracking was also covered with a black veil. Of course, Xiao Suifeng didn't want to be recognized by others because he was born in the Cloud Sword Sect, and why the other party's face was covered with a black veil, Xiao Suifeng didn't understand.
Just as Xiao Suifeng was thinking in his heart, the tracker who was struggling to walk on the branches in front of him finally lost his body, and he stumbled, as if he had fainted directly, and fell straight down from a tree trunk.
