Beyond the two peaks is the Shu territory. When the Chu land enters Shu, there is also the continuous barrier of the Five Streams. Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for attacking Shu from the Chu land.
The sky has just brightened, by the Wulong River, the main road of Wuxi! On both sides are mountains and cliffs, and below is the rolling river.
Somewhere between the peaks and mountains is the city of Sizhou in the middle of Shu!
Mountains, cliffs, rivers, and cities.
The mountains stretch beyond the Wuling Mountains. The posture is like a giant dragon lying down, with magnificent momentum.
The steep cliff is naturally the source of difficulties on the Chu-Shu road. They look strange and strange, and are made by the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
The river is deep, but it is the convergence of five streams. The source of Shuo seems to be unknown, but it is also the place where barbarians have thrived for thousands of years.
The city is so majestic that everyone admires it. Because a city has trapped a group of people. It is also a place that the children of Wuxi long for.
Wuxi has rarely communicated with the outside world since ancient times, and naturally the barbarians are even less understood by outsiders. There were a lot of people coming and going on the mountain road leading to Sizhou today. Even at dawn, there were already many people there. In this seemingly isolated place, suddenly there were more people.
April twenty-eight, because today is a good day.
Ran Xiuniang, the daughter of Sizhou Sima Ran Mo Feng, got married!
In every state capital in the Central Plains, if the daughter of Sima of a state gets married, although it cannot be said to be a big deal, it is still a great happy event.
However, in Sizhou, this is a big deal!
Suppress the black dragon Ran Mofeng! The pride of the Wuxi barbarians! The first person under Tian Hong's army, the governor of Sizhou!
There are four major surnames in Sizhou! Ran, Yan, Luo and Tang, with the surname Ran ranking first.
For thousands of years, the Ran family has lived in Wuxi, and there have been many heroes in the past. However, everyone thinks that Ran Mofeng is the strongest hero of the Ran family.
Since ancient times, all the barbarians in Wuxi have stood side by side. The descendants of the ancient Pangu gave birth to the Tian clan barbarians, while the descendants of the Suijun barbarians gave birth to the Ran clan. Ran has been Tian's assistant since ancient times, and this has been passed down from generation to generation. Later, it was said that the ancestors of the barbarians, Tian, Ran and Yang, were all consorts in the same dynasty. They jointly managed Wuxi, and their descendants have supported each other since then.
Nowadays, the Tian family, which has always been the leader of the Wuxi barbarians, has lost its momentum after going through the baptism of war in the late Tang Dynasty when the feudal princes separated themselves. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, another branch of the barbarians, the Peng family, gradually became more powerful, while the power of the Tian family gradually faded away from Wuxi.
Although the current governor of Sizhou is Tian Hongjun, and Ran Mofeng is dedicated to assisting him, but everyone who understands knows that the Ran family originated from Youyang, and now the words of the Ran family are about to suppress Wulong Ran Mofeng. He is thinking The state is the real master.
In the remote place of Sizhou, Zhenwulong Ran Mofeng is the Shadow King. Although he is only a Sima of a state, he seems to be better than the governor. His daughter's marriage was naturally a top priority in Wuxi.
The groom was a Dong Dong person from Wuling who also lived in Wuxi. Originally, it was completely impossible for his daughter to marry a Dong person, as the leader of the cave master of the Tuman tribe. But the groom's Dong family had a deep connection with the Ran family in the past. Because this groom is a descendant of the famous Yang family in Wuxi that day, and he is the master of Wuling Dong Cave of this generation.
The long Wulong River nurtures countless children of Wuxi!
Although Wuling Dong lost his vast territory and land in the battle with the barbarians in Chu, and even had to move to the mountains. But for the children of Wuxi, as long as there is still one clan member, it means that there is still hope for this clan. What's more, Wuling Dong is now developing again, and many people are still optimistic about Wuling Dong.
By the Wulong River in the early morning, there was a mountain road less than one meter wide on the edge of a steep cliff. A team of dozens of people was moving quickly on the mountain road. Some of them were still holding unextinguished torches. Apparently, It was a long night's journey.
The leader was a tough young man, Yang Shan, the current cave master of Wuling Dong. His eyes looked around from time to time, as if waiting for something. He was holding the three-stone long bow in his hand, with the arrow on the string. Last night, he set out overnight, coming out of the mountains where the tribe lives, and rushed to Sizhou to welcome his bride, Xiu Niang, for today's big day.
Following Yang Shan were Wu Li and Yang Shuiqi. The team behind him was almost half of Wu Ling Dong's current strength, and naturally there were men and women. Today's Wuling Dong people no longer have the power they once had, so many women have become warriors. Moreover, the Wuling Dong people could no longer withstand the hardships. These warriors were all men worth two, and even the women were all master hunters. Surprisingly, the weapons they held in their hands were all advanced crossbows.
Yang Shan felt that he had better luck. At the Zhuman Art Competition in Wulongjiang, he defeated the others and became the leader of this competition. What I didn't expect was that Xiu Niang would actually be chosen by Xiu Niang and choose him as her man. He was also deeply attracted by Xiu Niang's persistence and beauty, and she overcame all difficulties to get together with him.
Thinking of this, Yang Shan felt energetic all over his body. Looking at the red glow of the rising sun, Yang Shan was extremely excited. Of course, if he had been asked to come to Sizhou to pick up Xiu Niang half a month earlier, Yang Shan believed that the chance of him being able to return to the tribe was very small, because the barbarians had been a group of people who advocated force since ancient times.
But because of the addition of outsiders Yang Shuiqi and Hua Yin, Yang Shan knew that nothing could block his path. Because of the strength of the two people, it could be said that no one in the entire Wuxi area could defeat him.
He was very proud that he was the pride of Wuling Dong and the Wuxi barbarians, but when he saw Yang Shuiqi for the first time, he bowed before Yang Shuiqi. Because he is not the enemy of Yang Shuiqi's subordinates, let alone the gorgeous silver like a god.
Yang Shuiqi frankly said that he was a subordinate of Guo Jing, the king of Xiangxi. He wanted to help him strengthen Wuling Dong. The condition was that through his Wu Ling Dong, he would contact and communicate with the barbarians, and then occupy Youyang and Sizhou.
Yang Shan is a person with ideas. As long as it does not harm his own people and uses Wu Lingtong's roots, Yang Shan will agree. He wanted to make Wuling Dong stronger, and he also wanted to make himself famous in Wuxi, so he chose to cooperate with Yang Shuiqi. Moreover, what attracted Yang Shan most to Yang Shuiqi was that he did not want to conquer the barbarians, but wanted to jointly develop the Five Streams with the barbarians and use the Five Streams as a way to enter Shu.
Now it seems that Yang Shan's choice was right. Yang Shuiqi not only taught the Wuling Dong people superb fighting skills, but also brought many advanced weapons to the Wuling Dong people. This time when he came to Sizhou to welcome Xiuniang, Yang Shuiqi even contributed ten crossbows and dozens of small hard bows and horizontal knives. This was something that the barbarians in the Wuxi area did not have, which gave Yang Shan a lot more confidence.
Because Yang Shan knew that every time he and Wu Li held the Hengdao in front of the Wuxi barbarians, it would be a treasured sword that would cause looting. Not to mention those sharp weapons that cannot be evaded, and the crossbow arrows that cannot be imitated yet.
Although Ran Xiuniang agreed to Yang Shan and Ran Moreng compromised her daughter and asked Yang Shan to marry her, Yang Shan didn't think he would be so relaxed. So when Yang Shan came to Sizhou this time, he was fully prepared.
Ran Xiuniang is the Phoenix of Wuxi and the apple of Ran Mofeng's eye. I don't know how many outstanding young people envy and pursue her. How many young men today have conditions and status that are much better than Yang Shan, the master of Wuling Dong Cave who was almost destroyed. How could these young men and these families be willing to let Yang Shan marry Ran Xiuniang so easily!
Woohoo!
Suddenly, a sound of horns came from deep in the mountains and cliffs.
In this early morning, the sound of the horn sounded far away, and it was especially clear and loud.
Yang Shan and his men stopped and glanced at Yang Shuiqi beside him. In his mind, Yang Shuiqi was more reliable than Huali Yin behind him. Because Huali Yin's skill was something that Yang Shan could not understand. He knew that Yang Shuiqi was powerful and was in awe of Huali Yin.
Yang Shuiqi nodded, and it was very clear at this time, because he saw a group of people appearing one after another a few hundred meters ahead. These people were wearing all kinds of clothes, and you could tell at a glance that they were people from various caves in the Five Streams. They appeared in a swaggering manner and greeted people here from a distance, indicating that they had no ill intentions.
Yang Shan was a little strange. Although he and Xiu Niang were together, it seemed that many people were opposed to it. But this matter has been approved by the cave masters of the barbarians and Xiuniang's own father Ran Mofeng. I guess no one will stop me halfway! But Yang Shan is no longer a simple child. He has hunted a lot of prey, so he naturally knows how cruel and cunning the beasts are. He still warned the tribesmen behind him to be careful, and he also whistled and sent a message, signaling that he would go over there immediately.
As I got closer, I saw dozens of people here. It turned out that they were people from various tribes and caves sent to welcome Yang Shan. The leader is Tian Sisi, a banner master sent by the Tian family, and Yang Guozhong, the cave master of another branch of the Yang family. The rest are some cave masters and banner masters of other barbarians. Overall, they are all Wuxi Thirty-six. A representative sent by barbarians.
Tian Sisi is a descendant of the Tian family in Qianzhou, and this Yang Guozhong was originally a Dong people from Yangshan. Later, Yang Guozhong's branch formed its own line in Qianzhou, but Yang Guozhong's line is not particularly strong now. They particularly wanted to call on their relatives to unite. Yang Shan had already known him since the last time they held a competition between barbarians from the Five Streams. He was a good-blooded man. This time, he came here in person just to get close to Yang Shan.
I heard that everyone said that Xiuniang invited these people to greet her because she was worried about Yang Shan. Yang Shan felt moved and proud at the same time. After being friendly and courteous with everyone, we continued on our way.
The sky gradually became brighter.
After walking through the steep road beside the cliff, we gradually descended to the gentle mountain road. Yang Shan knew that we were getting closer and closer. After walking through a mountain col, you can see a patchwork of independent peaks, standing alone in front of you.
Last time I went to Sizhou, I walked through Yangshan once, and I knew that after climbing over the previous peaks, I could see Sizhou. However, Yang Shan's gaze was directed to a forest on the left.
Looking from the top of the mountain here, there is a forest of four or five miles over there, with mountains tens of feet high on both sides. These mountains form one, making this forest look like a canyon.
Yang Shan knew that at the end of the mountain peak was a river, a tributary of the Wulong River, and that over there was Sizhou City. This means that if you cross over from here, you will have to climb fewer mountains. Looking at the distance between the woods, Yang Shan suddenly decided to go this way. For those who grew up in the mountains, crossing this forest should not be a problem.
Yang Shuiqi had no objection to Yang Shan's idea, and everyone wanted to take a shortcut. Yang Shuiqi looked at Hua Yin. Hua Yin actually didn't speak, but she seemed to be deep in thought as she looked at the woods.
Naturally, these thirty-six cave barbarians who came to greet us would not object. After all, it did seem to be nearly half way. Although there seemed to be no road, walking through the woods was like a duck to water for these people.
Several members of the Tian family volunteered to clear the way ahead, but to everyone's surprise, soon after they descended from the mountain peak and entered the woods, they found that the road in the woods was not difficult, but became easier and easier to walk. There are no big rocks blocking the way, nor too many bushes and thorns. What is clear under the towering trees is the road with moss and rotten leaves. There are roads everywhere, and you can see the smooth road ahead, and you can see all kinds of flowers, plants and small animals everywhere.
Everyone was marching very smoothly, and unconsciously it felt like they had walked through half of the woods. Everyone did not line up in a line, but walked forward dispersedly, because everyone could see nearly a hundred meters away in the woods, and everyone felt lucky.
Yang Shan was even more excited. Thinking of Xiu Niang's affectionate smile, he felt as sweet as if he had found a treasure. Seeing the tribesmen in front and behind him, as well as the barbarians who were traveling with him, Yang Shan felt a little proud.
Although there seemed to be a few young people looking at him with some unkindness in their eyes, Yang Shan knew that it was because they were jealous of him. Yang Shan didn't care about their looks, let alone their challenges. He firmly believed in his abilities and Xiu Niang's vision.
"Huh!"
Suddenly someone made a voice, breaking the harmony of the team here.
"What's wrong!" asked the tribesman beside him.
"Damn it!" The man said with a trembling voice: "Look, this is the fish bone that was just thrown away! We have been walking for a quarter of an hour! Someone put it on this piece of rotten wood with their own hands. Why? Why does it appear here again! Logically speaking, it's impossible!" This man's voice made people feel inexplicably chilly.
"Don't talk nonsense! Are you kidding!" But the voice seemed a little lacking in confidence, and he could tell something. Suddenly, someone else also realized something was wrong. The team immediately started a small commotion.
"What's going on! Don't panic!" Tian Sisi roared in a low voice, and everyone's voices became quieter, but everyone looked around. Some people were running around, looking around to see if there was anything wrong, but the ending seemed to make everyone even more nervous.
After some experiments, everyone found that after walking for a few minutes, they returned to the original place.
Yang Shan calmed down. As an excellent hunter, he ran around quickly and found that something was wrong. Involuntarily, a group of mouths whistled, calling all the clan members over. Everyone also gathered together and looked at the oldest Tian Sisi.
Tian Sisi gritted his teeth and looked at everyone looking at him. He could only think of the simplest way, which was to bring everyone closer together and call on everyone to continue moving forward.
Yang Shan didn't speak, but suddenly felt a little regretful in his heart. Thinking of Xiu Niang's euphemistic eyes, he couldn't help but grasp the strong bow tightly and press the handle.
There is a touch of sadness all around! It was as if everything was being replayed in slow motion, and time seemed to slow down. There were actually fallen leaves floating in the sky. Everything seemed to be stopped by time, floating in the air and unable to fall.
Everyone seemed to feel an invisible cold wind blowing into their necks. Although there seemed to be sunshine outside, there was an invisible coldness and tension around them, making people feel deeply chilled. This is the time of year when it is just getting hotter, so how could this happen here!
Several barbarians with high skill and cultivation once again felt that something was wrong with the surrounding environment, but they also had an indescribable feeling. It seemed that everything was particularly strange. Not to mention the invisible coldness that everyone felt at this moment, what was even more strange and surprising was that there were no animals around here, and everything was silent.
It can be said that these people are all masters of hunting and living in the mountains, but they have never encountered such a strange situation. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do. For a while, they could only follow closely and walk forward slowly.
Yang Shuiqi was still very calm. From the moment he realized something was wrong, he approached Yang Shan, but Hua Yin's faint whisper of instructions came to his ears.
"General Yang, this seems to be a natural formation set up by an expert. Everyone is trapped in the formation. I have learned many formations since I was a child, but this is my first time coming into contact with this kind of natural formation. . I don’t know what will happen later, you must stay close to me!" Hua Yin did not open her mouth, but a clear voice came into Yang Shuiqi's ears. It was obvious that she actually knew the stunt that had been circulated in the world for a long time. "Secret voice transmission".
It is said that this unique skill can only be accomplished after reaching the innate realm and under the guidance of an expert. Many people in the world have cited it as a magical skill, but they did not expect that this woman, Huali Yin, could actually do it.
Yang Shuiqi nodded, looked at Yang Shan and whispered in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, this is a trap set up by the master, as long as the lady is there, nothing will happen to you! Just call on the tribe to be careful!" He seemed to be full of confidence in Hualiyin, seeing that Xiang Huayin's eyes were full of respect.
Yang Shan was indeed nervous and regretful. He couldn't help but feel a little impatient when he thought of Xiu Niang, but Yang Shuiqi said a few words in his ear and he gradually calmed down. After all, he has been accustomed to living on his own since he was a child, and he is an expert in hunting, so he still has this mentality.
Although this place seems to be a forest in a grand canyon, everything seems to be no different from the woods everywhere outside. But if you look closely, you will find that whether these trees are towering trees or shrubs with thorns, they all seem to be particularly beautiful. They have all gone through some special pruning and processing, that is, they have grown in certain directions.
Unless everyone pays close attention, he or she will never notice these details. But if you look closely, you can still find some clues of modifications. There is obviously some mystery here. As for what is hidden, no one knows.
A beautiful forest! A quiet canyon! No living things exist!
What does it mean? It means it's dangerous here.
What does it mean? It means there is someone here.
What does it mean? It shows that this is done deliberately.
What does it mean? It shows that there is endless killing intent here.
It’s murderous intent!
The killing intent was so pervasive that there seemed to be no living creatures around.
The absolute strangeness and strangeness also made everyone realize that something was definitely wrong here. Although they didn't know what would happen, it was still best to be careful. When everyone came in, they didn't realize that the woods and environment here were actually created by someone.
Everyone here is not a fool. Anyone who can hang out in the rivers and lakes and survive in Wuxi is not a mature and tested person. But with the environment and terrain at this moment, it seems that no matter how good you are, it will be useless. After walking around for a long time, you just can't get out. Some people vaguely guessed something.
They fear ghosts and gods, and some have begun to worship ghosts and gods from all over the world. Some even bring their ancestors to clear the way. Unlike Hua Yin, who clearly knew that he had entered the formation arranged by the master. Some people warned those around them to be careful, and some people were even more afraid that someone would lose control, so everyone couldn't help but get closer.
I don't know who suddenly shivered, and his feet immediately became unsteady, and he fell down on the slippery roadside of the mossy mountain. A crisp sound broke the quiet balance around him. Someone was timid or scared, and the weapon in his hand accidentally hit a few small stones on the ground.
"Who! Who! Who! Who!,,,,,," the frightened people around him asked nervously, their voices echoing in the canyons and mountains, making the screams even more panicked! But it suddenly stopped and disappeared into the unease of silence.
For a moment, people seemed to be in chaos, and the small-scale commotion was immediately extinguished. Everyone stared around nervously, as if they felt that if they were not careful, something would emerge from somewhere. Before the nervous voice could speak again, the person around him covered his mouth and dragged him aside. There were a group of trembling people around him, and they all looked nervously at the big boss next to them, fearing that if he was unhappy, they would chop him down with a palm or a knife.
woo woo woo woo!
Suddenly there was a strange sound! I don’t know where in the woods it came from. It seemed to be coming from everywhere, and it seemed like it was not far away. It was particularly chilling to hear it.
But I don’t know what it is, it’s like a person walking in the dark night, surrounded by unfamiliar darkness. It seems that there is hope ahead, but in my heart I have to worry about a monster beside or behind me.
It's not a severe winter, but it's as cold as a cold winter. It's not a ghost land, but it's as cold as hell.
Surrounded by green leaves and blooming flowers! But it makes people feel creepy.
No matter how powerful a person is, there is still a kind of fragility in his heart!
No matter how strong a person is, there is still a hint of cowardice in his heart!
And this place just seems to make everyone vulnerable, no matter who you are! Standing here seems to feel chilling.
