War of the Supreme Mysteries

Chapter 21: Jin tribe

Views:

At this time, the crowd of onlookers outside the hospital had not left. The appearance of Ming Yue immediately caused a sensation. The masked witches were a beautiful and mysterious scenery in the eyes of the Jin tribe men. Everyone was guessing what was hidden behind these ferocious masks. What kind of face does he have? Countless guesses and imaginations finally have the answer today. He is calm, noble, and incomparably bright.

Such an answer satisfies all the men, but while they are satisfied, they also feel deeply disappointed in their hearts, because they all know that the day when the answer to the mystery is revealed is when the famous girl will have her owner.

But the owner of the flower was not satisfied with them. His hair was messy, his clothes were full of pleats, and his clothes were not buttoned properly. His walking posture was too sloppy, his length was so-so, and he had a happy expression on his face, not serious at all.

Jealousy can blind people's minds and make them lose their fair judgment. In the eyes of this group of Jin men who are mostly under 1.7 meters tall, the handsome Wu Dongfang has nothing but good luck.

Wu Dongfang didn't know what these people were thinking at all. Even if he knew, he didn't care. Everything today made him happy. Ming Yue's beauty exceeded his previous expectations, and Tianshi's reasonableness and open-mindedness also made him happy. It was very unexpected. The important thing was that he no longer had to deceive himself and deny and downplay his relationship with Fantong. After spending time together these days, he had become accustomed to being with that fluffy meat ball. Everything goes well today.

What was more satisfying was yet to come. Ming Yue took the initiative to hold his hand. This move undoubtedly informed everyone of the relationship between the two.

At this time, three carriages were parked outside the courtyard. They were all large carriages with eight horses and shafts. In addition to the driver, there were a blue-robed mage and four soldiers carrying bows and arrows in the front and rear carriages. In the middle carriage sat the pair of carriages. Mother and son, who were both lucky and unfortunate, were held in the arms of another blue-robed mage, who was also sitting in the car.

Fantong was awake at this time, looking around in the arms of the blue-robed mage. When he saw Wu Dongfang appeared, he began to struggle hard, yelling, trying to get rid of the mage's shackles, and ran to join him.

"Your mother-in-law and eldest brother don't know about this either." The Heavenly Master did not look back when he spoke.

Ming Yue responded in a low voice.

After repeated struggles, he could not break away from the mage's shackles. The rice bucket became a little anxious and made a snoring sound to protest against the mage holding it. The mage who was holding him heard the hostility contained in its voice. He didn't dare to let go and was afraid of its claws, which could break metal.

Upon seeing this, Wu Dongfang pointed at the rice pail. When he made this gesture before, he also said, "Be honest."

Fantong saw Wu Dongfang pointing at it and immediately stopped struggling. It remembered this gesture and the consequences of Wu Dongfang's continued mischief after Wu Dongfang made this gesture. It didn't want to be hit on the head by Wu Dongfang, let alone kicked by him.

The copper staff took off his hand and floated off the ground. The Heavenly Master stepped forward, stepped on the copper staff and rose into the air, saying loudly, "The Golden God will always protect his people, and the great Golden God is with us."

"The great Golden God is with us." Everyone in the Jin clan knelt down, except those who climbed up the tree and Wu Dongfang.

The Heavenly Master then made a sign to set off, the driver shook the rope and drove away, and the eight horses galloped away.

The Heavenly Master clasped his hands behind his back and followed in the air.

"How come it's like the Japanese are leaving the city?" Wu Dongfang curled his lips and said. As soon as the three carriages set off, they rushed at full speed. With eight horses pulling one carriage, you can imagine how fast they were.

Mingyue didn't answer. Wu Dongfang spoke modern language and she couldn't understand it.

"Blessed by the Golden God, I hope they can reach the capital safely." Ming Yue turned around and walked towards the room.

"Don't worry, the Tu tribe won't get the news so quickly." Wu Dongfang knew what Mingyue was worried about.

"I really don't have to worry if you don't let go of that Tu tribe's Shangchu wizard." Ming Yue said this without any complaints or dissatisfaction, she just discussed the matter as it happened.

"She is almost starving to death. She is probably still looking for food in the mountains. How could she run back so quickly." Wu Dongfang felt a little ashamed. His actions did add a lot of hidden dangers to the Jin clan.

"Pack it up, when are we leaving?" Ming Yue asked.

Wu Dongfang could tell that Mingyue changed her words midway. She probably wanted to pack up and leave immediately. The reason why she changed her words midway was out of respect for him and wanted to seek his opinion.

"If there's nothing urgent, is it possible to leave tomorrow? I want to take a walk in the city." Wu Dongfang asked, after finally coming out, he didn't know when he would come out next time.

"Okay." Ming Yue nodded.

Back in the room, Wu Dongfang grabbed the water jug and drank some water. He put down the water jug and asked Ming Yue, "Where should we stay tonight?"

"Still living here." Ming Yue said.

"I won't take the bow and arrow." Wu Dongfang said.

Ming Yue nodded.

"You can't be like this. Finding the White Tiger Celestial Master is a happy event. You have to pretend to be very happy. Outsiders will become suspicious when they see you with such a sad face." Wu Dongfang said. Ming Yue may be used to wearing masks. I can't hide my emotions very well after putting on the mask.

Mingyue nodded, then turned to ask, "Do you think the real White Tiger Heavenly Master is still alive?"

"It's hard to say." Wu Dongfang shook his head. He knew very little about the deeds of the White Tiger Celestial Master. He only knew that each generation of the White Tiger Celestial Master was a different person, not the same person reincarnated.

Ming Yue frowned.

"Look, look, you're frowning again. You have to learn to control your expression." Wu Dongfang curled his lips and said.

Ming Yue felt very heavy, so she grabbed the mask on the table and put it back on her face.

"Why are you wearing it again?" Wu Dongfang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Ming Yue did not respond.

"Don't worry too much. You will know soon whether Master Baihu is still alive." Wu Dongfang comforted him.

Ming Yue turned her head when she heard the sound.

Wu Dongfang reached out and took off her mask, "The Tu tribe sent so many wizards to kill the children of the Jin tribe, which means that their wizards guessed or sensed the appearance of your White Tiger Heavenly Master through some kind of magic. Since they have this With my ability, I can naturally know whether your White Tiger Celestial Master is still alive. If it is true that the White Tiger Celestial Master is killed by them, the Tu people will not come again. If it is true that the White Tiger Celestial Master is not dead, they will definitely still be alive. Will come again.”

Mingyue nodded repeatedly, "It makes sense. If Dad and the others are intercepted on the way, it means that our White Tiger Heavenly Master is still alive."

"How many days does it take to get to the capital from here?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"A fast horse takes a day and a night." Ming Yue said.

"Where is the capital here?" Wu Dongfang asked again.

"There." Ming Yue pointed to the northeast.

"It should be during the Lincang generation. Luoyang is more than five thousand miles away from Lincang. Not to mention that their news did not spread so quickly. Even if they got the news immediately and organized manpower immediately, they would not be able to rush over in such a short time. Don't worry Well, your father and the others will not encounter any interceptions on the road." Wu Dongfang quickly made an analysis and judgment. Although the environment has changed, the geographical location should not change significantly.

Mingyue was a little confused. She had never heard of the two place names Wu Dongfang mentioned.

Wu Dongfang took the initiative to explain, "I don't know what the capital of the Xia Dynasty is called, but I know its approximate location."

"Have you been there?" Ming Yue didn't respond.

"In the era I lived in, I have been there before, and I know the approximate distance from there to here." Wu Dongfang said. After finishing speaking, seeing that the doubts on Ming Yue's face had not completely disappeared, he added, "To the east of your village That river is where I came to this era, and before that, I had been living in that dynasty four thousand years later.”

"I understand. You have been active near our village since you came to our dynasty and have not been to far away places. You want to go to the Central Plains because you want to see what the Central Plains was like in our dynasty." Ming Yue said.

"Smart!" Wu Dongfang gave Mingyue a thumbs up. It would be best to have both beauty and intelligence. If you can only choose one thing, you have to choose intelligence. You can't have a good-looking idiot because you can't communicate.

Ming Yue smiled happily. She was happy not only because she received Wu Dongfang's praise, but also because of Wu Dongfang's optimistic temperament and his wise judgment. These made her more and more sure that she had chosen the right person.

Wu Dongfang walked to the door and looked out, "The people outside are almost gone, let's go out for a walk."

"Okay." Ming Yue stood up and walked over.

"Have you brought the shells?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"Bring it." Ming Yue pointed to the small cloth bag on her waist.

As soon as the two went out, they met the sorcerer who talked to Ming Yue yesterday. The two talked affectionately. Before today, the sorcerer didn't know what Ming Yue looked like. Today is the first time that he saw the true face of Lushan. He praised Mingyue's beauty vigorously, and then expressed his blessings to the two of them.

At this moment, the male wizard walked over from the east in frustration. This time he did not say hello to Ming Yue. He looked at Wu Dongfang fiercely and walked around.

After the wizard led the tribe to leave, Wu Dongfang and Mingyue left the courtyard and wandered around the city.

Ming Yue turned heads very often when walking on the street. Such a beautiful woman is rare, and such a beautiful witch is even rarer. Wu Dongfang endured the jealous looks from all directions and felt quite proud.

The Jin tribe has six tribes, and each tribe has dozens of villages. People living in the tribes do not engage in mining. They mainly farm and do business. The food is mainly corn and millet. At this time, there was no rice. In addition to corn and millet, there are also some beans, some large and some small. Small beans are about the size of match heads, and large beans are as big as nails. These beans can be cooked and eaten, and they are now one of the staple foods.

There are also vegetables, and there are many varieties, but Wu Dongfang doesn't know many of them, such as sunflower, bamboo shoots, bracken, and big winter melon, but he doesn't know the others.

Meats include cattle, sheep, horses, and pigs, which are not available every day. It doesn’t matter which one is killed. Cows are the most expensive, followed by sheep, then horses. The cheapest is pork. Why are they arranged in this way? The explanation given by Ming Yue is that cattle need to plow the land. , usually not killed. Sheep can be milked to produce wool, but they cannot be killed indiscriminately. Although mare's milk is not very tasty, it is still milk. It is of no use only to pigs, so it is the cheapest.

Most of the fish were crucian carp and carp, and there were a few that were not named. The crucian carp and carp at this time were larger than modern crucian carp and carp, and their fins were also longer than modern fish.

In addition to food, there is also cloth. Silk is the least and most expensive, linen is the most expensive, and woolen cloth is the cheapest. This kind of cloth, which is very expensive in modern times, is very worthless here. The reason is very simple. This is a tropical place, and no one can survive in hot weather. Like to wear a cardigan.

The main types of goods are food and clothing. The currency is this kind of shell. The more popular exchange items are grain, salt and various livestock.

While wandering around, Wu Dongfang discovered many huge heads hanging and propped up on the city walls. After asking Ming Yue, he found out that these were ferocious beasts that had broken into the tribe. After they were killed, the heads were placed on the city walls as a warning to those who came after them. This situation shows that this is not a paradise, and it is very unsafe to live here.

There were no inns or restaurants at this time, but there were people selling cooked food. Their way of selling cooked food was very interesting. They built a square stone house with stones, lit a fire underneath, and threw the whole pig in, as well as random leaves used as seasonings. It takes half a day to be simmered, and there is no scale when selling. They are sold according to the part and size of the meat. You can exchange it or buy it. These people may have been doing it for a long time and know what they are doing. .

Tired of walking around, it’s getting dark, it’s time to go back to sleep…
