Chapter 193: Eight Villages Agreement Six
That night, Houyu Village held a grand sacrifice under the auspices of the old shaman, and ten teams of 50 contestants stood in a shirtless line. Then the old shaman and a group of shamans wearing the masks of the world great, knelt and jumped in front of the totem for half an hour, and then ten heroic female warriors stepped forward, holding the unknown skull in both hands, filled with the unusually viscous red liquid concocted by the old shaman's novice.
After the ten female warriors held their skulls and bowed to the totem again, they walked to the ten teams respectively, and then used red liquid to draw lines on each person's face, body, and hands.
Then ten more female warriors walked up to each of the contestants, carrying torches, and while dancing a sacrificial dance, they roasted the liquid on their bodies, which was imprinted on them like tattoos after a few moments.
"Be careful, try not to wipe this liquid off. After the female warrior left, Bai Wujing whispered to Qian Baimo, who participated in the competition: "This is a special medicinal liquid made by Houyu Village, which can not only prevent mosquitoes, flies and poisonous ants, but also if you get lost in the competition, the search and rescue team of Houyu Village can also find you with this medicinal smell." ”
"Oh. Hearing this, Qian Baimo hurriedly let the taboo smell the smell.
It was about an hour or so before the whole sacrificial event ended, followed by the usual carnival singing and dancing, and at this time, Qian Baimo sat next to Yuan Chenglin with the appearance of an elegant scholar, and Yuan Chenglin did not participate in this competition because he did not have any jungle experience.
"Yuan Gongzi is good. At this time, although Qian Baimo was wearing the jungle short armor of Houyu Village, and there were dark red stripes all over his body, his behavior still maintained the elegant demeanor of a handsome son, and he greeted Yuan Chenglin beside him.
Seeing this, Yuan Chenglin thought that Qian Baimo didn't want to lose the elegance of the state of etiquette in front of foreigners, so he hurriedly waved his hand and saluted back: "Good young man." ”
"By the way, I don't know what these brothers are called?" Qian Baimo then saluted to a few green-shirted scholars next to Yuan Chenglin.
"Under the Lower Heavenly Fire Alliance, the Bian Mountain will order Guo Ru. ”
"Under the Heavenly Fire Alliance, Shang Shui will order Li Yun. ”
......
"Guo Gongzi is good, Li Gongzi is good ......"
"Good boy. After a few people saluted each other, Qian Baimo said: "It's rare to meet a bosom friend in this ancient forest land, why don't we have a wine and a drink on this scene?"
"What the prince said is very true, I am waiting for this ancient forest to endow me with a masterpiece, and it will be an elegant and beautiful conversation in the future. ”
"Exactly, exactly. ”......
After seeing that Guo Ru and the others agreed, Qian Baimo sat down and poured a bowl for himself and said: "When I first arrived here today, I saw that the woman of Houyu Village was so physical and martial, and I couldn't help but think of the "Mu Lan Ci" written by the ancients. Qian Baimo said and recited "Mu Lan Ci".
The sound leaks on a cold rainy night, the frost woman cries against the window, the dark candle wind does not go out, and the lonely coffin has no bones.
The wolf smoke in Beishan rises, the grass is exhausted, and the army sticks to the army and the whole country points to the soldiers.
The military books are endless, the weak crowns are gone, there is no letter for several years, and even the sky is inexhaustible.
The post reports were spread one after another, and after ten years in the village, the army went without a trace, and I didn't know where the bones were buried.
The kitchen starts with smoke, the table is full of incense, and there is no response to call Lang'er, only to hear the long wind and cold howling ghosts.
Tears washed the women's makeup, hinged into the coffin, combed the men's bun in the bronze mirror, and changed into my husband's clothes.
Donglin sharpens the white pole, the west paves the steel, and the north is familiar with horses and strong gymnastics in the south.
Hundreds of women lay scarves, Tianshan is flying, breaking through thousands of beasts, and blood stains cold iron clothes.
The dangerous battle spared no life, the body was wrapped in corpses, and he returned to see the Son of Heaven and Xun Ce unknown.
The Son of Heaven asks what he wants, Mu Lan is not named for a thousand years, but he hopes that Lang's soul will rest and he will not leave his wife for thousands of miles.
"Well, listening to what the young man said, the woman in Houyu Village does have the style of the Mu Lan Army back then. Guo Ru echoed and said: "In that case, why don't we just use this 'Mu Lan' as the theme?"
"Since this is the case, then everything will be according to what Guo Gongzi said. ”
"Okay, I'll take it as I am. ”
......
It was also when Qianbaimo, Yuan Chenglin, Tianhuo Meng and others were drinking and performing poems, they wanted to find Qianbaimo several times, but as soon as they got up, there were a few fierce female warriors who came up to toast with large wooden wine glasses, so when they woke up the next day, they completely forgot what happened yesterday.
Since the race is a five-person relay race, the time limit is five days, and each person is ten hours at their own stage; if someone does not reach the relay point for more than 15 hours, it is equivalent to a waiver of the race, and personnel will be arranged to carry out search and rescue.
Before the start of the competition, the guide gave each of the first stage contestants a map, and then briefly explained to everyone the identification and location method of the map, and finally the road sign.
"Alright, warriors. After spending half an hour, the guide cautiously reminded: "The confirmed scope of our village in the middle of the Demon Beast Forest is still limited, so please try your best to follow the signs, if there is an accident, the village can only express regrets; After the guide finished speaking, he crossed his hands and folded his shoulders and saluted, then turned and left.
Since this competition is a comprehensive ability of speed, endurance, and wilderness survivability, the ten people only walked forward at first to adapt to the air of the jungle and adjust the rhythm of breathing, while the second stage contestants such as Qian Baimo took a simple hot air balloon made by Houyu Village to the starting point of the second stage.
About two hours later, the hot air balloon slowly landed on the ground, at which point another guide stepped forward and distributed the map to the ten contestants, saying, "Although the path of the second stage is relatively simple, most of them are steep and steep, so for the sake of fairness, you warriors can practice during this time." ”
The guide led everyone to a cliff while talking, and looked down, about 100 meters high to the jungle, and there was a hanging wall about ten meters high not far away.
"According to the normal path, your comrades will come up from this place. According to the guide's pointing, there was a steep slope on the left that went straight to the cliff.
"And after your relay, you set off in this direction. Qian Baimo looked at the right rear, it was a sloping wall about 30 meters high, overgrown with poison ivy and thorns, and Qian Baimo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw it.
"I'm going, or the people of this demon beast eight villages can play, don't they have any special preferences?" Qian Baimo thought, and couldn't help but look curiously at the several female warriors with unusually strong bronze muscles and burly around him.
"Alright, that's it for the map and the signage, may God Mudar bless you warriors. At this time, the guide also explained everything, crossed his hands and shoulders, saluted, and walked towards the hot air balloon.
Looking at the back of the guide leaving, Qian Baimo suddenly realized a serious problem, that is, drinking water and food. Although the guide had water and food on the side, everyone knew that if they ran to ask them for water and food, it should not be considered a foul, but it was obviously a sign of weakness before they compared.
"It seems that for the next eight hours, it is not enough to wait obediently. Qian Baimo thought about re-examining the surrounding environment, not only to familiarize himself with the rock structure here in order to climb, but also to fully maintain his physical strength and endurance to face his ten-hour section.
"Hehe, according to this calculation, this actual test of survival is the last person. Qian Baimo walked to the poison ivy with a smile, then took out the skinning knife and cut a small section, and then sucked a small bite, and suddenly his mouth was full of astringency and numbness, but soon his throat felt cool.
"Well, the toxins are still under control, so that should be able to solve the problem of drinking and food for a while. Qian Baimo thought about it, then threw a small piece of pain vine into his mouth, chewing to the side and trying to climb.
Soon six hours passed, and under the starry sky, everyone found a place to rest, and then Ji flew down to Qian Baimo's side softly and said with his divine sense: "Master, with the help of secret, the three players from Mengleke Village, Jisaka Village, and Dongluo Village should arrive in an hour." ”......
