"Do we still have such barbarian tribes in Vietnam?"
After listening to his student's story, Sun Siwen was shocked and felt that his outlook was shattered.
Having always been under the rule of the imperial court, it was hard for him to imagine that a bloody and cruel barbarian tribe like the Shengmiao existed under the imperial court.
It's not that he's too naive.
If you want to say that Shengmiao has a free nature and does not want to be restricted or squeezed by the court, so he often resists, then Sun Siwen can understand it.
But the sacrifice of human beings and the use of human bodies to feed Gu are too sensational.
Seeing that his teacher seemed a little frightened, Gu Songyun hurriedly comforted him: "Teacher, don't worry too much about growing seedlings. Basically, they only live deep in the mountains and rarely go out. Even the mountain people are hard to see. We only live in the mountains." When hunting outside the mountains, you don’t have to worry about encountering seedlings.”
"Yeah." Sun Siwen nodded, his face looking better.
Lu Yuan took the opportunity and asked curiously: "Songyun, you said those young seedlings are good at Gu art, are they the only ones who can do it? Are the mature seedlings good at it? And what are the abilities of those Gu art, do you know? ?”
Gu Songyun was stunned. He didn't expect his teacher and friend to be interested in this, but thinking about his identity as a hunter, he might go into the mountains more often in the future.
Now that I have heard the legend of Shengmiao, it is normal to want to know more and take precautions, so I understand it.
So he thought for a while and said: "I have heard that in Shumiao Village, some women will poison their lovers with love poison. If the lover changes his heart, the poison will be triggered and his heart will be eaten by the insects and he will die.
But these are just rumors. I have also heard of some men who fell in love with mature women but then changed their minds. I have never heard of any of them actually being killed by love poison.
However, if the seedlings use human bodies to cultivate poisonous insects, they may raise some poisonous insects. This may not be a poisonous technique. There are some poisonous insects in the mountains that are so powerful that if you don't find a cure after biting someone, your life will be taken away in an instant.
Therefore, the story of bewitching must be just a lie, a legend used by the Miao people to intimidate outsiders. "
After Gu Songyun thought deeply, he gave what he thought was the most reasonable judgment.
"Legend?"
Lu Yuan frowned, not quite agreeing with this point of view.
The so-called rumors come out of nowhere, there must be a reason.
Since those Miao people were able to pass down the art of Gu for thousands of years, there must be a factual basis for it, at least a prototype.
So based on this reasoning, who dares to say that Gu magic really does not exist?
To say the least, even martial arts and immortals have appeared now, so it wouldn't be surprising at all if there is just a little bit of Gu.
However, Lu Yuan only thought about these thoughts in his heart and did not say them out.
Brother Sun and Gu Songyun are both ordinary people, and the environment and common sense they are exposed to are also limited to the scope of ordinary people.
It’s better not to talk to them about things that are beyond the scope of their knowledge.
The more you know about some things, the more dangerous they become.
Just like a voodoo spell.
What if because Lu Yuan told them, one of the two would become interested and run to find Sheng Miao to find out. In the end, if he was killed by a Gu insect, it would be a big sin.
"Okay, Brother Lu knows that you are always curious about these weird things, but today is hunting, so don't think about these things." Sun Siwen next to him saw Lu Yuan's thoughtful look on his face, and patted his forehead helplessly.
"Teacher, look, there's a rabbit there." At this time, Gu Songyun's low voice next to him pointed to a rabbit that was foraging for food beside the grass in front of him.
"rabbit……"
Lu Yuan woke up from his thoughts. When he heard the words, he looked around and saw a gray shadow. The instinct hidden in his body was instantly awakened.
He stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, and with a whoosh, the arrow flew out.
In the blink of an eye, the squirming gray rabbit in the distance was pinned to the grass.
Although he has left Lantau Island, as the god of arrows, he still lives up to his title as the destroyer of rabbits. When he shoots rabbits, he still shoots one arrow at a time.
"this is mine."
Sun Siwen had always put his hand on the bowstring. He was thinking of winning the first hunt of the day, but he didn't expect someone to snatch the prey away from him, and he immediately looked over with dissatisfaction.
"Brother Sun, I was afraid that you would scare the prey away, so I came to help." Lu Yuan laughed, and regardless of his friend's resentful eyes, he quickly stepped forward and picked up the prey.
Sun Siwen also knew that his archery skills were poor, so he just complained a few words and then stopped talking.
Anyway, today's hunt was held to compensate Lu Yuan. As long as this friend was happy, nothing else mattered.
The first shot hit a gray rabbit, which seemed to be a good start.
In the following time, under the leadership of Gu Songyun, the three of them climbed several hills and went to other places where there were many prey. In the end, with Lu Yuan's magic shooting, they all made a lot of gains.
While traveling over the mountains, Lu Yuan and Gu Songyun also learned about some of the conditions in the mountains.
What are the trends of mountain ranges, what poisonous insects and ferocious beasts are there in the mountains, which places are more dangerous... etc. He asked him everything the other party knew.
Today, he took Sun Siwen hunting with him. In order to take care of his friend, it was naturally inconvenient for Lu Yuan to go hunting tigers and leopards directly.
So at this time, write down the activity areas of those prey, and wait until you go into the mountains alone in the future, and then hunt happily.
…
An enjoyable hunt ended quickly.
As evening approached, the three of them followed the way they came and left the mountain.
When they entered the mountain, they only had weapons in their hands, which could be said to be a light battle. By the time we got out of the mountain, we had already fought together and had gained a lot.
One goat, three pheasants, and five gray rabbits were their harvest from this hunt.
Although most of the credit goes to Lu Yuan.
But even Sun Siwen, with the guidance of his friends, successfully shot a rabbit.
So everyone had a great time.
When we came out of the mountain, it was already half dark. They were too lazy to go back to the city, so they simply stayed at the college at the foot of the mountain.
It just so happens that the college also has a cafeteria, which has a lot of condiments. Under the order of Sun Siwen, the academic edict, all these things were naturally used. Even the cook who was left behind was temporarily requisitioned, and a barbecue feast was held in the garden of the college.
There were two masters staying overnight in the courtyard. At this time, they heard that Master Xueyu had come back from hunting and had a good harvest, so they all rushed over to watch the fun.
After seeing the full prey, without further ado, he immediately started to help process the ingredients.
Who says a gentleman can live far away from the kitchen?
Regarding food, as long as it is delicious and fragrant enough, great writers will cook it for you.
Otherwise, where did Dongpo Pork come from?
After several years of continuous study, Lu Yuan's cooking skills have already been improved to a great level in the attribute panel.
Although this level is not perfect, outside, it is equivalent to those famous chefs in famous buildings.
At this time, handling these game meats is natural and easy.
The strings of processed ingredients, under his grilling, are fragrant, fat dripping out, full of color, fragrance, and extremely tempting.
The people waiting to eat next to them all had their mouths watering.
When everyone was eating and their mouths were full of oil, as expected, Lu Yuan received a lot of praise, and then gained a group of fans and diners.
