The ancestors of the Qiang people believed that Qiu Tianyuan could lead the Qiang people to a higher level.
Is this also the reason why Liu Tianniu regressed and even punished Liu Huayan?
Is the Liu family a vassal of the Qiang people? Or part of the Qiang people?
The carriage left this section of the mountain road and then creaked onto another section of road.
The journey to Feng County is longer than I thought.
There are nine bends in the hanging river, but there are eighteen bends in the mountain road leading to Feng County!
And we also passed a boundary monument called Nanshan Boundary Monument.
At the highest point on the top of the mountain, there is a huge statue called the Statue of Shennong.
It took a full day, and when it was getting dark, we finally arrived in Feng County.
Only then did I understand why Feng County got its name.
When entering the county town, there are maple trees all along the road.
At this time, it is late spring and early summer, and the leaves are green, which makes people feel much calmer.
Liu Huadao continued to guide Huang Qi. Instead of entering the county town, we continued walking deeper around the edge of the mountain road near the Nanshan Mountains.
At the bottom of a mountain, the carriage finally stopped.
Entering the destination, there is a huge open space, at least two to three hundred meters in diameter.
Liu Huadao got off the carriage sideways and said at the same time: "Except the Qiang people, the carriage cannot enter, so everyone should get off the carriage."
Huang Qi went down first, and He Zhi and I followed closely behind.
Of course, we brought everything with us.
He Zhi was carrying a soft package, while I was carrying a big black wooden box, with the old chicken lying on the lid of the box.
As far as I could see, behind the open space, there was another archway.
It's just that the distance is still far, and I can't see the words on the archway clearly, but I can see some buildings behind the archway.
Liu Huadao stepped forward.
Huang Qi asked cautiously: "Mr. Li, shall I follow?" I pondered for a moment. The Qiang people must be in a safe place.
Huang Qi had been sleeping rough outside Lanjia Village for the past few days, so I asked him to come with us.
Passing through the open space, we arrived under the archway.
The words Qiang nationality on the plaque are full of richness and richness.
There are also several Qiang people standing on both sides of the archway. They are wearing yellow or blue gowns and white mandarins.
They are all extremely tall, with yellowish complexions, faces shaped like knives and axes, and sharp and alert eyes.
Those people moved forward, blocking the way into the archway.
The leader, a Qiang man, said in a deep voice: "Brother Hua Dao, my master said you could come back in three days, why did it take you seven days? Are you still so seriously injured? Who are they?"
Liu Huadao first clasped his fists and then said: "I encountered a difficult problem, and I managed to deal with it with the help of these two, who are their followers."
During the conversation, he saw He Zhi and I, introduced him first, and then said that we were friends of the great elder.
The Qiang man nodded,
Liu Huadao pondered for a moment and then said: "There is no need to inform the clan. I want to take them to see the great elder first. The dojo will go to invite the master. This brother is also the person the master wants to see."
Suddenly, the look in the Qiang people's eyes turned to respect and curiosity.
This obvious change made me realize that the status of the Liu family among the Qiang people is far inferior to that of their ancestors...
Even Great Elder Liu Tianniu is like this.
"Brother Hua Dao, I won't send you off." The Qiang man's tone suddenly became much kinder.
Liu Huadao had no reaction to this.
He continued to lead us inside.
He Zhi carefully held my arm, while Huang Qi quickly followed me on the other side.
After walking for a while, some courtyards began to appear on both sides of the surrounding area.
All the courtyards have blue-grey brick walls. Ordinary villages, towns, and even counties cannot build such good courtyards.
Every courtyard is almost similar to the courtyard where I first left the village to retrieve corpses for noble people...
The financial resources of the Qiang people are evident...
From time to time we meet people on the road.
Almost all of them wore yellow or blue gowns, mandarin jackets, and many accessories.
And those people will also look at us.
"Yin Yang, why haven't you seen the Taoist priest?" He Zhi asked me in a low voice. She looked puzzled: "The Liu family of the Qiang people, why are there no Liu family members?" Huang Qi also nodded repeatedly, with the same questioning look.
And I can't answer this question...
Liu Huadao looked back at us and then said: "The location we are walking now is the outer boundary of the Qiang people. The Qiang people are centered on the ancestors and most of the people are ancient Qiang people. After passing the central part and reaching the back end, You can see the Liu Family Taoist Temple, and there will be no Qiang people in the Taoist temple."
He Fei showed a look of surprise, and I nodded to express my understanding.
After passing through the center of the first half of the Qiang tribe, I finally saw the difference.
The places where the Qiang people live are all green brick courtyards, and in the second half, there are more trees. A winding road goes down, with many thatched houses on both sides.
The thatched cottage is very small, almost always with the door open, and there is only one bed inside.
Or there is a Taoist priest meditating on the bed, or in front of the thatched cottage, there is a Taoist priest practicing swordsmanship!
As we walked by, every Taoist priest would clasp their fists and salute Liu Huadao, and respectfully call out "Second Senior Brother!"
I also had curiosity in my heart, so I asked: "Liu Huayan, will she be the senior sister?" The reason for asking this question is simple, because Liu Huadao said before that Liu Huayan is the most talented Taoist priest of their generation. !
According to my opinion, Liu Huayan's skill and Taoism are better than Liu Hua Dao.
Liu Huadao paused, then shook his head and replied: "Senior brother, it's senior brother Sanyuan, and Hua Yan is junior sister, but she is really talented. If it weren't for junior sister's bad fate, the first master wouldn't like her and wouldn't let her stay for a long time. Stay in the Taoist temple. It won’t take many years before Junior Sister Huayan’s Taoist skills surpass those of some elders.”
In just a few words, I learned about some of the seniority of the Liu family Taoist priests.
At the same time, I also thought that since Liu Tianniu is the great elder, there must be second elders and third elders? !
While thinking about it, we walked very quickly on this section of the road.
Besides, I have a different feeling.
The Qiang people give me a feeling that they are not easy to get close to.
On the contrary, although the Taoist priests of the Liu family seem to be old-fashioned and stubborn, their temperaments are much more real. On the contrary, the range of the Liu family makes me a little more comfortable.
After a while, we passed through this section of the road and came to the Taoist temple at the end.
The road is not straight, so there will be no road collision.
The Liu Family Taoist Temple is also extremely magnificent.
The plaque reads: "Liu's Chunyang Taoist Temple!" A few big words!
Behind the wide gate is the Taoist martial arts arena.
At the very end is the Taoist Temple Hall!
He followed Liu Huadao to the main hall.
I finally saw the familiar Gao Guan.
Liu Tianniu was standing in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back. In front of the wall of the hall, there was a Taoist statue.
Under the Taoist statue, there was still a person kneeling.
