Almost all Dai people have been monks, and even those who have not been monks know the meaning of the basic Buddhist mudras. The three bandit leaders discussed for a while, and the bald bandit leader turned to stare at Chen Huaming and said: "Okay, let's follow him for the time being. , if you dare to lie to us, I will cramp and skin you three."
"Amitabha!" Master Ji whispered the name of the Buddha.
Chen Huaming and Du Cuiniang were very happy after taking down the three bandit leaders. Chen Huaming said: "My name is Du Wang and her name is Lin Lijuan. What are the names of the three of them?"
"Letter." The bald bandit leader said.
"Anbanji." The bandit leader with tattoos on both arms said coldly.
"Yingjing." The triangular-eyed bandit leader spat out two words.
Deciding to follow the holy monk Lu Shide, Xin, Anbanji and Yingjing no longer intimidated Chen Huaming and the others with their fierce eyes, and consciously followed Chu Xiang. The three of them talked from time to time in Dai dialect that Chen Huaming could not understand. Don't know what to talk about.
Although the three people have expressed their submission, they are not allowed to suddenly attack. To ensure their safety, Chen Huaming and Du Cuiniang did not dare to approach the three people and kept a certain distance from them. Jiashi led the way, so naturally they did not need to fight with the three vicious men. Come together.
The three surrendered men were carrying bright swords and were full of ferocious auras. They looked like they were not easy to mess with. The group of people encountered several groups of robbers on the way and did not dare to take action, which saved them a lot of trouble.
When they settled down in the evening, although Xin, Anbanji and Yingjing did not have any help to build the straw hut, they were not idle either. Xin asked Anbanji and Yingjing to go out to find food, so they had to take advantage of it before it got dark. Go hunting.
Xin was obviously a smart man. He was the eldest of the three. He left his two younger brothers to find food, which was equivalent to staying as a hostage to reassure Chu Xiang and them.
"Who made up the straw hat? Make one up for us." Xin said to Du Cuiniang. Women are skillful with their hands, and among them, Du Cuiniang is most likely to be able to knit straw hats.
"Okay." Du Cuiniang nodded.
Chen Huaming, Du Cuiniang and Jiashi built a stilted straw hut. Du Cuiniang found bamboo leaves to knit straw hats for Xin and the others, Chen Huaming looked for firewood, and Jiashi lit a fire under the hut.
Several people divided the work and cooperated. Soon Chen Huaming and Du Cuiniang came back with the materials. When it was about to get dark, Anbanji and Yingjing also came back. The two did not abandon the letter and escape. Of course, it may be that they did not dare to escape. .
Although the three of them are not monks, they have some understanding of the mysterious Lushi monks. They know that they are proficient in the power of nature and their abilities are doubled in this mountain forest. The three of them had experienced the power of Chu Xiang's tip of the iceberg, and had some estimate of Chu Xiang's ability. They knew that if Chu Xiang wanted to kill them, he wouldn't even have to lift a finger. Their every move within four or five kilometers would probably be under Chu Xiang's perception. Inside.
Anbanji and Yingjing brought back a lot of food. They were indigenous people and bandits who roamed the mountains. Naturally, they knew a lot about what was edible in the mountains and forests, and there was a lot of food they could find.
Yingjing and Chen Huaming started cooking the food. Du Cuiniang crushed the mosquito-repellent herbs she picked and sprinkled them around. She took advantage of her free time to braid straw hats. When the two of them prepared the food, three straw hats were also braided.
Du Cuiniang handed the straw hat to Xin, who took it and awkwardly said thank you.
Anbanji and Yingjing didn't know that Xin asked Du Cuiniang to help make the straw hat. They looked at Du Cuiniang in surprise, her eyes were much softer. After the food was cooked, Yingjing divided some of his portion and handed it to Du Cuiniang.
Du Cuiniang showed a smile, took the food and said, "Thank you."
Yingjing nodded awkwardly. It seemed that he was not used to others saying thank you to him. He must have been the same as Xin and hadn't heard anyone say thank you to him for a long time.
The three straw hats shortened the distance between them. The eyes of Xin and the others no longer held the same obvious hostility as before, which made people always on tenterhooks. They consciously restrained the hostility in their eyes. Discovering the changes in the three of them, Du Cuiniang and Chen Huaming were no longer as cautious as before. They were wary, and the atmosphere seemed much harmonious.
There was enough food, and Chu Xiang also ate some. After everyone had eaten and drank, Chen Huaming suggested that he and Du Cuiniang stay on guard in the first half of the night, while Xin, Anbanji and Yingjing were responsible for the second half of the night. Xin and the other three had no objections and agreed to Chen Huaming's suggestion. .
Although the continuous rain is annoying, it is summer, the temperature is almost above 30 degrees, and the lowest temperature in the middle of the night is 30 degrees. It does not feel cold, but it feels uncomfortably hot, stuffy and humid.
It was an uneventful night, and Xin and the other three did not cause any trouble. It seemed that the three of them had settled down a lot. After setting off, Jiashi asked the nearby residents and found out that they were not far from Qingman Temple. Walk faster. If you do, you can go to Chiangman Temple in the evening.
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, Chen Huaming decided to hurry. The fifty or sixty kilometers away, if it were not for the fear that Jiashi would not be able to keep up, a few people could reach it in half a day.
Xin and the others found something to wrap up the shining sword, so as not to look like bad guys. This place is not far from Qingman Temple, and there are many forces around it, but it is no longer a place where they can be allowed to do evil.
It had been raining for several days in a row. After a few people set out, the weather rarely cleared up. They even felt much better, their walking pace became brisk, and their speed naturally became faster.
After turning onto the main road leading to Qingman Temple, the surrounding population density increased significantly, and the order was much better than the mountainous area that a few people passed through before. Although the population density was high, they all lived in peace, and the people coming and going seemed more serious. kind.
The situation here is very different from what passers-by see. There are obvious regional divisions between each settled settlement, and there are designated market areas. There are people who manage the market. If there is a dispute, they will not take action if they disagree. .
The seven people wearing big straw hats were very conspicuous walking on the road, but there didn't seem to be many people here who liked to cause trouble. They just looked at a few people curiously. When they saw that Jiashi and Chu Xiang were both monks, some of them clasped their hands. Salute.
Chen Huaming has been constantly sizing up the passers-by and observing the expressions of the surrounding residents. A lot can often be seen from the state of the locals. If this area is not calm and orderly, then the residents here will never look friendly and peaceful, nor will they approach others easily, but will always look at people with vigilance.
Judging from the demeanor of the local residents, this is a stable area, probably because it is relatively close to Qingman Temple and within the influence of Qingman Temple.
The journey went smoothly without any abnormality. It seemed that there would be no problem in getting to Qingman Temple before dark. Chen Huaming's heart, which had been hanging around all this time, felt a little relieved.
With big straw hats covering their faces, Xin, Anbanji and Yingjing looked a bit mysterious, but not fierce at all. The three of them knew what their image looked like, and they didn't show their faces along the way.
Jiashi introduced the surrounding situation to several people from time to time. The thirty kilometers north of Qingman Temple is basically a safe zone. Some areas have also established their own management agencies, just like the grassroots units of the government. However, the people here do not listen to the government. , the most effective instructions come from Chiangman Temple.
The Qingman Temple mediates disputes, adjudicates disputes, and brokers cooperation between various forces. All kinds of matters are actively mediated by the Qingman Temple. When some larger problems cannot be solved, various forces will often ask the Qingman Temple. The master upholds justice. In this area, Qingman Temple is the most prestigious place.
The Dai government has collapsed long ago and is now in name only. Big bosses in the military have taken up their own names, ignoring the orders of the Central Military Commission and fighting on their own. There is a warlord near Qingman Temple. However, due to the existence of Chiang Man Temple, the warlords' sphere of influence is mostly in the southwest of Chiang Mai, far away from Chiang Man Temple.
The monks in Dai country are obviously different from those in China. The monks in China probably have no other role except to make money. However, the monks in Qingman Temple have taken on many tasks that are not theirs, actively participate in the world, and do what they can.
Probably because of Jiashi, the group's conspicuous attire did not attract any attention. After all, Qingman Temple has a great influence in this area.
After walking for more than ten kilometers, Xin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "The situation is not right."
"What's wrong?" Chen Huaming asked immediately.
"We are outsiders." Xin said.
The word "outsiders" made Chen Huaming tremble in his heart. Yes, they were outsiders. They shouldn't have been so smooth. No one even came to inquire about the situation. Even if Jiashi was from Qingman Temple, the nearby forces should have sent People come to inquire about their origins, come to greet and chat, and observe their situation up close.
"Is there any problem?" Master Ji asked doubtfully.
Jiashi did not realize what the three words "outsider" meant, because he was not an outsider, because he was a monk, a monk from Qingman Temple. He had a special status here. He was a relatively special existence and could not feel it. This difference is normal.
Du Cuiniang also couldn't feel this difference, probably because women are always on the weaker side and are used to men dominating the world. They have to do their best to be equal to men at all times, and their nerves are always tense.
"The more no one cares about us, the bigger the problem will be when someone comes." Chen Huaming said.
No one pays attention to them, which means that no one around them has the confidence to suppress them. Then this information will continue to be passed to more powerful forces until a force that thinks it can completely suppress them appears and sends people to inquire about their situation. , suppress them, educate them, and remind them of the rules they must abide by.
The greater the power, the less they allow their authority to be challenged, and the more likely they are to use extreme methods when facing several people, and the greater the chance of conflict.
Economically backward areas usually have relatively obvious xenophobia, and this situation becomes even more obvious after drastic changes, because the appearance of strange outsiders often means unpredictable changes. People in economically backward areas usually have a poor ability to accept changes, and changes will occur after being impacted. Also bigger.
