Chapter 168: What Orion saw, a god was born? !
In addition to the sharp drop in temperature every year, the cattle and sheep on the grassland died of cold and starvation. When the Huns were short of food and clothing, there would occasionally be sporadic groups of Huns' cavalry coming here to rob.
Therefore, this county has always been very peaceful.
But at this moment, this village and town, which had been peaceful for decades, was completely boiling.
"Look, look, look what's over there!"
"rainbow?"
"No, it's not a rainbow. It can't be so dazzling and strange!"
At the foot of the mountain, several hunters were talking about the streak of light in the sky.
In order to see more clearly, some people even climbed to the top of the tree, just to get closer to the stream of light.
"This thing... I'm afraid it must be hundreds of miles long, right?"
A thin, dark man muttered to himself in shock.
"This is auspicious, this is auspicious!"
Suddenly, a man knelt down and shouted wildly, kowtowing repeatedly.
These hunters live at the foot of the mountains, relying on the mountains to feed themselves. They often go up to the mountains to hunt prey to support their families.
And just when they were exclaiming and even panicking at the wonders in the sky, an Orion suddenly trembled and tugged on the sleeves of his companions.
"What? What?"
My companion seemed a little dissatisfied that someone was interrupting her enjoyment of this once-in-a-lifetime beauty.
But the companion next to him was already too nervous to speak, and could only keep tugging at his companion's clothes.
"have a look……"
It took a long time before two words came out of his mouth.
"What are you looking at?" His companion looked away dissatisfied.
And when he saw the scene around him clearly, his whole body was shaking, his hands and feet were as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave!
The prey that usually hide most closely around them came out one after another.
These animals lowered their heads and walked slowly, seemingly not noticing them at all.
However, the most mysterious thing is that all these animals are walking in the same direction with their heads lowered, as if they are on some kind of pilgrimage.
Herbivores and carnivores walk together harmoniously without interfering with each other.
Wolf and rabbit, tiger and silly roe deer... It is absolutely impossible for these to appear at the same time on weekdays. Even if they appear, one will definitely become the ration of the other.
But now, these originally incompatible animals gathered together very quietly and moved forward slowly.
It was so quiet that except for the sound of hooves and paws trampling on the leaves, no animal made a sound.
Those docile animals are very quiet, but those carnivorous animals, such as wolves and tigers, are quite restless.
Such a strange and magical scene made these hunters drip with cold sweat.
"You said...are we seeing something strange?"
An Orion said tremblingly.
He has been digging and eating in the mountains with his father since he was eight years old. In the short decades of his life, he has never seen such a wonderful sight!
No, in fact, he had never even heard of it.
Even the elderly people in the village have never heard of such a scene.
No one knows what's going on, or why it's happening.
A hunter with a fur hanging around his neck looked up at Xiagu in the sky and suddenly realized.
"Do you think it's because of the glow in the sky that these animals..."
The brave ones don't care about this at all.
One of them slowly approached the animals who walked slowly and slowly.
"Normally, these things are so clever and ruthless that they are rare to see. If I catch one of them, wouldn't I make a lot of money?"
Just as he had guessed, these animals did not respond at all to his approach. Even when he put his hands on these animals, they did not resist.
The rabbit was immediately picked up by his ears, and the silly roe deer was tied up by him without any resistance.
"Come back...come back!"
He was so busy that he didn't pay attention to his companion's reminder.
"Hey, don't blame me for being brave if you don't take action!"
"These are just free money! How much would it be worth if you brought a live one back home!"
While he was trying to tie up the four hooves of the silly roe deer, he suddenly found that the surroundings were suddenly very quiet, and it seemed that even the sound of footsteps was gone.
There seemed to be a shadow falling vaguely on top of his head.
Orion's arms froze, he stopped what he was doing, and slowly turned back, only to see the horrified eyes of his companions.
Looking up at the horrified eyes of his companions, Orion saw a tiger appearing above his head at some unknown moment.
He could even smell the fishy smell of the tiger's mouth, and a trace of saliva slowly dripped from the tiger's mouth onto his shoulders.
Orion was so frightened that he trembled all over and did not dare to move.
The atmosphere became deadlocked, with the tiger making no further moves and the hunter not daring to move at all.
Looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the animals around him stopped and stared at him.
"Let it go... let it go..."
Vaguely, he seemed to hear what his companion was saying, and he did not hesitate.
The keen sixth sense brought about by hunting in the mountains for a long time made him believe that if he didn't do something in time, he would probably end up here today.
So he followed his inner choice and slowly loosened the rope around the roe deer.
The roe deer rolled on the ground, stood up, and walked to the group of animals without looking back.
But the tiger still didn't seem to want to relax. As a last resort, he took off the rabbit from his shoulders and put them together on the ground.
The rabbit was also very clever. After two kicks on the ground, there was no trace of it anymore.
Seeing that he had put down all the animals on his body, the tiger finally relaxed.
What made the hunter unbelievable was that he actually saw a look of disdain on the tiger's face.
The tiger opened his mouth, and the beard beside him trembled slightly.
Vaguely, an inexplicable thought came to Orion's mind.
"This tiger is hesitating whether to eat itself or not!"
He didn't understand why he had such strange thoughts in his mind.
How could it be possible for a tiger to have such a human expression?
But the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the tiger was hesitating.
Vaguely, he seemed to hear a sigh, and the tiger suddenly looked around as if facing a formidable enemy.
After a moment, the tiger looked at him reluctantly, turned around and left.
Orion felt that he was really crazy, and he actually saw reluctance in a tiger's eyes.
"But they are all beasts, and they are actually starting to behave like humans!"
Orion secretly spat in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to say it directly.
He was really afraid that these animals would understand what he said and turn around and bite him to death.
Orion didn't even dare to breathe, he could only watch the tiger walking farther and farther.
After a long while, he finally breathed, and all the strength in his body was relieved, and he fell limply to the ground.
His companions came forward and helped him up.
"It's really weird. What on earth is going on?"
"I don't know, never heard of it!"
"What on earth is going on? This is too scary!"
The group of people talked a lot, and after discussing for a long time, no one came up with the reason.
Looking at the surrounding jungle, they felt that they would definitely not be able to hunt today, so they might as well go back early.
If it's too late, we still don't know what weird things will happen.
The group of people supported each other and left the mountain as if fleeing.
There is a small mountain village at the foot of the mountain. Due to changes in the world, the origin of this small mountain village cannot be studied.
But in recent decades, things have been relatively peaceful outside.
Although Hun cavalry occasionally come to harass them, there are usually no major incidents in the village.
Because it is close to the border, the fighting people here, even the people in a small mountain village, are extremely fierce and full of martial virtue.
Back in the village, several people gathered together and prepared to ask Lao Litou in the north of the village.
No one knows where Old Li Tou came from. People in the village only know that the old man was already in his forties when he came here.
No one knows exactly how old he is. He may be in his sixties, or he may be in his seventies.
It is said that Lao Li was a person who survived from Da Qin, and he also joined the army and fought in wars.
When someone asked him how old he was, Old Li Tou would always say why he remembered that, it would be good to be alive.
Anyway, in the eyes of the people in the village, Lao Li Tou has traveled all over the country and is a knowledgeable person.
Even the village chief would ask Lao Li Tou if he had any undecided questions.
After seeing such a strange scene in the mountains today, a few people thought that Old Li Tou had seen so many things and might have heard about it.
"Lao Li? Lao Li? Are you at home?"
"Stop it, stop it, you little bastards, I'm not even deaf yet!"
Lao Li cursed and walked out.
Because he had been on the battlefield, Lao Li had a bad temper, but he was still quite good.
When Lao Li came to this village, these hunters were still little kids. They followed Lao Li all day long and laughed at the scars on his face.
Lao Li was not angry, but something happened later, so he accepted these children as his apprentices and taught them some skills in making a living in the mountains.
To be exact, all the hunters in the village more or less learned a lot from Lao Li.
Therefore, Lao Li can be regarded as half of their master.
Several people talked about what they saw and heard today one by one, and asked Lao Li if he had seen anything similar.
Lao Li was sleeping in the house. After hearing the two men's stories, he hurried out of the door without even bothering to put on his clothes.
Looking at the faintly dissipating glow on the horizon in the distance, there was a trace of doubt and a bit of shock on Lao Li's face.
Lao Li had indeed served as a soldier, and he even met Qin Shihuang from a distance.
When he joined the army, he was just a young boy, very curious about everything in the outside world.
When he heard that he was looking for some immortal, he went with him.
Later, when he was walking around, he didn't know what happened, and the world was in chaos. He followed the leader and fought several battles, but they returned defeated.
Later he became a deserter and a refugee.
After twenty or thirty years of wandering, he finally settled in this small mountain village.
The world is stable and his life is getting better.
But Lao Li will never forget the magnificent scenery he saw by chance when he was still Xiao Li.
"This...this is...an immortal!"
"The Immortal is born, the Immortal is born!"
A trace of tears flashed across the corner of Lao Li's eyes, a trace of excited tears.
He was still young at the time and had no idea what had happened.
But then he accidentally heard a few words, and he felt that maybe the Qin Shihuang at that time was really cruel and unscrupulous, so the immortal would not help him, right?
As for what kind of person Qin Shihuang was, Lao Li couldn't tell clearly. Everyone said that he was a foolish king and that he was cruel and immoral, so that's probably what happened.
But later, he told people that Qin Shihuang really found the immortal and said that he also saw the beautiful scene of the immortal's birth.
But most people would laugh at him for talking in his sleep, saying that it was just spreading rumors.
The more times I say it, the longer it goes by, and even Lao Li himself will wonder if he really didn’t see anything at that time.
Later, when he got older, he would treat these as stories and tell them to children after some processing.
"Have you seen it? Have you seen it?" Lao Li said with tears in his eyes: "What I said is true. I really saw the immortal back then!"
Has Lao Li really seen it? It's been too long, and maybe he doesn't even remember it.
But when he saw the gorgeous scenery in the sky, Lao Li was sure that an immortal must have been born!
Behind Lao Li, several hunters looked at each other.
They would never have thought that those strange stories they heard Lao Li tell when they were young were actually true.
They never thought that one day they would be able to see with their own eyes the scenes that Lao Li mentioned.
Thinking about it carefully, the wonders I saw today are somewhat similar to what Lao Li told the story back then.
"Could it be... true?"
"It's hard to say..."
At this moment, everyone in the village gathered together after seeing the scene outside.
Seeing Lao Li so excited, kneeling down and cheering, everyone seemed to realize something.
Some people even knelt down and started praying long before this.
"Don't be disrespectful to the immortal! Kneel down quickly!"
In a daze, several hunters were also pulled to the ground by the people next to them.
In a daze, several people began to kneel down and worship.
…
In the county town thirty miles away.
There were quite a few people who saw such a wonderful scene in the sky, but what surprised the people in the city the most was that no matter what they were doing, the livestock they raised all bowed their heads to the ground and stopped looking at the scene the moment they saw it. speech.
They seemed to be celebrating the birth of something.
When the county magistrate learned the news, a large number of people in the city had already knelt down.
Especially the herdsmen from the grasslands fell to their knees and kept shouting something.
The county magistrate knew a little bit of the Huns' language, and he could vaguely hear these people shouting the names of the gods they believed in.
"From birth..."
"What exactly is going on!"
