Chapter 17 [The Legend of Chasing Corpses, Famous Houses in Hunan Province]
Rushing in the mountains and mountains is really a unique feeling, and Duan Yu has not seen these in the Dali Palace before.
However, seeing the ancient trees towering to the sky, the sunlight shining on the forest and grassland from the gaps in the branches, it is particularly mottled, and the roar of the ape and the tiger is sounding in the distance, which gives people a deep shock to their hearts. And among the trees, there are many vines entwined, verdant and green, and there are many delicate and clear fruits on them, which are decorated and swayed, and Shanshan is lovely.
Mu Wanqing also took some vines and woven them into garlands and wore them on her head, which looked more and more delicate and moving.
In the past half a month, I have encountered robbers five times on the way, but with the martial arts of Duan Yu, Luo Feihu and Mu Wanqing, I have defeated all the robbers who blocked the way, but there is nothing memorable.
"According to the environment here, it is indeed to the boundary of Xiangxi, we have to be cautious, there are a lot of strange things here. Luo Feihu said.
"I think it's very good here, the air is very fresh, that's what it calls being close to nature!" Mu Wanqing said with a smile.
"You're wrong, the people of this place are fierce, the men are brave and fierce, and the women are good at releasing Gu, and even have the custom of chasing corpses. Luo Feihu said solemnly.
They drove their horses forward in this dense forest, and Duan Yu smiled leisurely: "It's true that the people here are fierce, but the custom of chasing corpses has been around for a long time, and there is nothing to be afraid of, it's just that you don't understand its origin." ”
"Could it be that Brother Duan understands the reason, isn't it terrifying enough?" A strong man like Luo Feihu was actually terrified of the custom of chasing corpses.
Duan Yu told what he knew: "Because of the mountains and mountains, the mountains are far away, and those who went out used to die in a foreign land, the locals paid attention to returning to their roots, but how did they transport the corpses back? Because the local custom is that people must be buried in the earth, unless they have died of a bad disease, they will be cremated.
Therefore, there are some people who do this thing of transporting corpses, sprinkle embalming medicine on the corpses, and then divide them and put them on their backs in boxes, and then these people pretend to be walking corpses, wearing hats and vegetarian clothes, and the leader of the team is dressed as Taoist priests. This is done because of customs, and because it is convenient to travel, and the robbers dare not provoke it.
Outsiders who don't know the reason are frightened by this rumor, but in fact, if they understand the reason, it is not a big deal. ”
"Brother Duan is really knowledgeable, and I admire him. I used to think that readers only knew what they knew, but I didn't expect that even these mysterious and terrifying legends would be so thoroughly understood by you. Luo Feihu gave a thumbs up in admiration and exclaimed.
Duan Yu smiled lightly: "Brother Luo is really ridiculous, I just read a few more idle books." ”
Mu Wanqing suddenly said: "Duan Lang, why are you always so modest? In fact, you really know a lot, which is admirable." ”
Duan Yu smiled but didn't say a word, whipped his horse, and rushed to the depths of the jungle where the ancient trees were standing.
The sound of horses' hooves could not stir up the slightest ripple in such a deep mountain forest, and the deeper I walked into the jungle, the more I saw the thick pile of dead branches and leaves all over the ground, mixed with the corpses of some wild beasts, after these decomposed, they emitted a terrible smell, and a poisonous mist miasma floated in the air.
Even if the three of them are not weak in martial arts, they still feel dizzy after staying in such an environment for too long. Finally, three days later, I left the jungle from one side, and suddenly felt that my eyes were suddenly bright.
But see, the clouds are white, and the mountains and rivers are solemn and gentle.
Duan Yu looked around, behind him was a primeval jungle, flanked by rolling mountains, and many green bamboos grew all over the peaks, showing many layers of green.
At the forefront, there is a long river flowing between the mountains and rivers.
"Brother Luo, this area is really troublesome, do we still have to climb these peaks?" Mu Wanqing asked.
Luo Feihu said with a smile: "Look at this long river, isn't it the fastest way to get there? Let's just go and build a bamboo raft." ”
Duan Yu nodded, and without saying a word, he went to look for bamboo suitable for making a bamboo raft, Luo Feihu brought some rope, and with everyone's efforts, after an hour, he made a fairly strong bamboo raft.
Duan Yu stretched out his hand and knocked on the bamboo raft a few times, and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, can this bamboo raft withstand the turbulent water in the long river?"
"It's almost withstanding, if we're unlucky and the bamboo raft is washed away by the water, what's the point if we swim ashore?" Luo Feihu said with a big grin.
Mu Wanqing finally used a short sword to cut off a piece of bamboo, which was used as a long pole to support the bamboo raft.
So, the three of them pushed the bamboo raft into the long river, Luo Feihu had great strength, so he was the one to support the boat, while Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing sat on the bamboo raft, looking at the beautiful scenery around them, and chatted.
Luo Feihu felt a little embarrassed, so he simply didn't look at them and concentrated on supporting the boat, but he was also very grateful to Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing for being able to come to Xiangxi with him, otherwise he would not have been so smooth when he came here alone, and more people would have taken care of him.
The waterway is really fast, in the evening, you can see the outline of the town, there are other bamboo rafts coming and going on the long river, above the river, the sound of the tree is endless, and there is also the singing of the rocking people, although I can't understand the singing here, but the leisurely and wanton atmosphere can be clearly perceived.
The most special thing is that some of the bamboo rafts and boats are on the side of the boat, and there are some specially trained birds that are used to catch fish, and every time they skim the water, they can make a fish.
After Luo Feihu docked the bamboo raft, they asked for the next way, this place is called Liulincha, which is not a small town. When asked if there was a famous martial arts lodge here, the locals told that three miles east of the town, there was a famous martial arts lodge in central Hunan Province, the residence of Mr. Mei Niansheng.
Luo Feihu said to Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing: "Although he is not the distant relative master I mentioned before, he is really a rare celebrity in the rivers and lakes, and his own strength is in the realm of the Innate Void Pill, we are so lucky, we will meet it as soon as we come here, and we must pay a visit." ”
Duan Yu was greatly surprised in his heart: "Didn't I come to the world of Tianlong?
There were many thoughts in his heart, but after a while, he finally figured it out, he himself was a person in the future generations, and he came to Jin Lao's Tianlong World by chance, so what other unbelievable things can't happen?
Duan Yu thought back to his heart for a while, the main situation about the iron bone ink calyx and Mei Niansheng at the beginning: Mei Niansheng is a famous martial arts master in central Hunan Province, and he is good at martial arts such as Liancheng swordsmanship, Shenzhao Gong, and strong eagle claw skill. I received three apprentices before: "Wuyun Hand" Wan Zhenshan, "Land Divine Dragon" Yan Daping, and "Iron Rope Hengjiang" Qi Changfa.
Senior Mei knew that these three people were misbehaving, so instead of teaching them martial arts, they taught them a lot of fancy and impractical tricks.
He is a well-deserved hero, and his name is heard in the land of Sichuan and Xiang, but these three apprentices who have annihilated Tianliang, because Mei Niansheng is involved in the secret of a treasure, the three of them actually teamed up to plot their mentor and seize the sword spectrum. Mei Niansheng was seriously injured, threw himself into the river, was rescued by Ding Dian, and was given the swordsmanship and the divine scripture before his death.
Duan Yu thought a lot in his heart, and guessed: "I wonder if in the world of Tianlong, the apprentices accepted by Mei Niansheng's predecessors are still those three villains, and whether the Blood Knife Ancestor will come here to make trouble?"
Luo Feihu was very excited to walk in the forefront, he wanted to improve his martial arts very much, knew where the martial arts were located, and hurriedly rushed there.
ps: It's not to introduce the system of other books, but to borrow a few famous characters from Jin Lao's pen, after all, the outline of this book is very grand, so it is more interesting to get more masters. Otherwise, there are only a dozen innate masters, such as the Void Pill, the Real Pill, the Golden Pill and even the Void Realm powerhouses behind, how to improve it?
And the introduction of these characters will not bring into other plots, just transfer flowers and trees.
There is another interesting character to appear next, spoiler it, this person's surname is Zhang, his name is three words, and he will create his own martial arts in the future and become a generation of martial arts masters.
Book friends, if you have any good ideas, you can leave a message, and Cangshan will refer to the improvement.
