What the old man said made me feel terrified. What's more, even though the other party grinned, he didn't seem to be joking.
"Why kill me?" When I thought of being thrown into a pile of bugs, my whole body was standing upright. This method of death is probably one of the most painful methods of death.
"Don't you know?" The old man chuckled and said: "You think you are talking inland dialect, I can't see that you are the spy of the Universe? If you can't even see this, my eyes, then I picked it out and threw it away."
"Then you dig it out now and throw it away." When I heard the other party's words, my heart was relaxed. I don't know who the other party is for the time being, but the meaning in his words must be against the universe, so I suspected that I was a spy from the universe.
I've heard people say before that the ancestral land of Qiankun Dao is not actually their ancestral land. They were originally from the Mainland, but they came here only because of the changes of the times. The people of Qian Kun Dao are unwilling to change their customs and habits, and they are incompatible with some local personalities. The two sides have also had many conflicts, and the fight has never stopped.
With the continuous growth of Qiankun Dao's power, the locals have been losing in battle, so they no longer clearly oppose Qiankun Dao. However, as long as a small group of people fall into the hands of others, the other party will definitely not be polite.
I guessed that it was because of these that the old man felt that I was a person of the universe, so I would die if I came up.
"You are young, but his mouth is hard!" After hearing what I said, the old man's face sank, and he asked sharply: "Let's talk! The dog thief from Universe sent you here, and what else do you want to do!"
"I'm not a person of Qian Kun Dao."
I definitely don't want to have any friction with the old man. I just tried my best to escape from Qiankun Dao, and now I have fallen into the hands of this old man of unknown origin. So I immediately began to explain to the old man, saying that I was not a person of Qian Kun Dao.
The old man didn't believe that this place was already in the center of a pristine deep mountain, the passage was blocked, and the road was difficult, and people from outside would not come here. I am a mainland accent who appears here, and the old man will naturally doubt it.
I explained it for a long time, but the old man still refused to believe it. After explaining too much, I felt helpless. The old man threatened five times and said too much, and I gradually realized that he didn't really want my life, but just wanted to figure out my intentions.
I have no intentions, so how can I explain. The old man asked for a long time, but when he saw that I was about to be thrown into the worm pile, he still refused to say, glared at me fiercely and turned away.
Not long after, a few more people came here. The head is a middle-aged woman who is about forty to fifty years old. The clothes of these people are obviously different from those of Qiankundao. They should be locals. The locals spoke in native dialect, and I couldn't understand a word. However, the middle-aged woman had mostly stayed in the mainland, and she could still listen to what she said.
The middle-aged woman asked a few words, and the question was what the old man asked just now. I still gave the original answer. After talking for a while, the old man looked a little impatient, and said to the middle-aged woman that if it was really impossible, he would just leave me alone.
Having said that, I involuntarily looked down again. This deep cellar is mostly used by the locals.
Those who raise insects, the people here are good at poisoning, and they often raise some poisons. I took a look, and my scalp started to tingle again.
It's a pity that until now, my first weather hasn't recovered as before, and the explanation is not clear, and I can't escape. This time I went to this ghost place, and it was really bloody for eight lifetimes.
When the middle-aged woman heard the old man's words, she kept silent, looked at me a few times, and confessed to the person behind her, and then two men came and lifted me from the hanging rail.
They dragged me out of this cellar, but they didn't loosen it. After I was pushed out, I vaguely saw that this was a small village in a mountain col. The villages were full of tall bamboo buildings.
There are not many people in this stockade. About a hundred or two hundred people are in this stockade. With such a small number of people, they will definitely not be able to fight Qiankun Dao. They can only tolerate it, and when appropriate, they will occasionally launch an attack.
Most of the middle-aged woman was the head of this stockade. These people took me under a bamboo building. The middle-aged woman sat down and looked at me again and said, "Your accent from the mainland is very pure. It’s someone who grew up here."
"Yes, yes, yes." I only think this middle-aged woman is reasonable. Although the people of Qian Kun Dao maintain the original customs, but the child was born in this place, the accent is somewhat different from that of the mainlanders. My accent, You won't be a native of the local people.
"Then tell me, what are you going to do when you get to this place?"
"This..." I hesitated again, talking about my journey here, which was complicated and bumpy. Even to be honest, this middle-aged woman might not understand or believe it.
My hesitation would definitely make the other party feel that I was perfunctory, but I couldn't think of another way. Just as I scanned left and right, I suddenly saw a wooden sign hanging on the fence of this bamboo building.
That wooden sign was polished out of logs, and the patterns carved on the wooden sign made me feel familiar.
The patterns on the top look messy, but if you know the inside story a little bit, you can understand that those messy patterns are actually a few insects entwined with each other. The bug was originally disgusting, but after being carved by the craftsman, the pattern looked delicate and complicated, and it was quite delicate.
This pattern is familiar to me because I have seen it before when I was in the Wuxian Temple. It was embroidered on the flag of the Wuxian Temple.
It's just that the pattern on this wooden sign is slightly different from the pattern on the Wuxian Temple Mountain Flag. I think that if we trace the roots, the two patterns probably come from the same origin.
I'm not the kind of person who usually chews on my tongue, but at this juncture, I have to talk if I don't want to talk.
"Is the pattern on that wooden sign a few bugs?" My hands were tied, and I couldn't lift it up, so I raised my head slightly and said, "I have seen such a pattern."
"Where have you seen it?"
"Wuxian Temple, do you know? It's far away from here, the big river beach." I told the other side how I had seen this pattern.
As soon as these words were said, the middle-aged woman was a little moved. However, she may not have heard the name Wuxian Temple, but was very interested in what I said.
As I said, I watched my words and my actions, and the rumors I had heard before in Dahetan came to mind again. At that time
When I ran to Liangjun Mountain, I met people from Wuxian Temple who were guarding the way to collect money. At that time, someone said in private that the ancestors of the Wuxian Temple group came from southern Xinjiang and used the means to raise poisonous insects. I also brought them here, so the insect poison in Wuxian Temple is very powerful.
Now think about it, the mountain flag of the Wuxian Temple and the wooden sign pattern of this stockade may not have anything to do with it.
I wondered that the middle-aged woman didn't know about the Wuxian Temple, because those people moved to the north and named Wuxian Temple.
As soon as I saw that there was a door, the explanation became clearer. I stayed in the Wuxian Temple for so long and knew a lot of things. After I said it carefully, the middle-aged woman really believed a little bit. Because some things in the Wuxian Temple cannot be fabricated.
"Then you, why did you come here from so far away?"
"A word is hard to say." I didn't conceal it completely anymore, picking up what I could say and talking about it. I'm afraid that this middle-aged woman had never heard of Nether Tu, so I couldn't imagine how a living person was sent to Nether Tu. The exit of Huangquan Road.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman would know this when I mentioned the Netherworld map. Seeing that the time is almost here, I also said that I have a close relationship with Wuxian Temple.
"If you are telling the truth, the Five Immortals Temple should be the people who migrated from us many years ago."
The middle-aged woman said that this place has high mountains and distant waters and it is not easy to survive. Many years ago, there were continuous disasters. The stockade had insufficient resources to feed so many people, and some of them were forced to leave their homes.
They walked all the way to the north, and as they walked far, they lost contact with the original tribe. After so many years, they had no news of each other. However, it is impossible to completely forget the customs left by the ancestors, especially the five insect patterns that represent the stockade. The Wuxian Temple has also been preserved to this day and has become the pattern on their mountain flags.
When the words are opened, I will fully understand that this stockade and the Wuxian Temple have the same origin. Looking back many years, they are all people of the same race.
In this way, I finally let go of my heart, at least I won't be embarrassed by the other party now, and the people in their village are very familiar with the terrain and can take me out of this complex and deep mountain. As long as you get to the outside world, you can find a way to return.
The middle-aged woman asked someone to untie me. Everyone in the stockade knew that I came from the people who moved away from them, and suddenly became enthusiastic. Many people took home-brewed wine and food together, sat on the ground, and talked while eating, but most of what they said was still not understood by me.
This middle-aged woman was called Chayun, and she was the head of the village. The two sides could talk together, and she also talked about the village. Although there are few people in this stockade, it is very united. People from Qiankun Dao came here and occupied their place. The two sides fought many times, but the stockade gradually fell into a disadvantage. Forced transfer.
I also feel that it is very hard to survive in this kind of place. Although the big river beach is also poor, but I am willing to work hard, I still have a bite to eat, so I drank their self-brewed rice wine and said to Chayun , Do you want to go to the big river beach and meet the people in Wuxian Temple.
If the situation permits, the people in these stockades can migrate to the Wuxian Temple, which will not only strengthen the strength of the Wuxian Temple, but also make life easier for the people in the stockade.
