Grandma Miao asked Yanying to fill a handful of new firewood into the bonfire. As the fire grew stronger and stronger, Grandma Miao slowly said: "It seems that nothing can be hidden from the leader. They have been gone for less than half a month. At this moment, they It should be in Baimu Mountain."
Su Xiaodie didn't pay attention to what Granny Miao said before, but when she heard that Baiyue went to Baimu Mountain, she couldn't help but frowned and said: "They also went to lobby Wanku Valley? Mr. Ge is a weird person, like this Don’t you want to let Baiyue go? It seems that Baiyue is bound to win this time. Could it be that they are already thinking about the distribution of cloth after they get here in southern Xinjiang in the future? Their ambitions are not small!"
"Old Ge is a Han from the Central Plains, and the Wanku Valley is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Now that the imperial court has loosened its management of southern Xinjiang, Old Ge can be a landlord here. If Baiyue gets involved, Old Ge will probably not agree. . Baiyue will most likely return without success this time, but since they have laid out Jialan many years ago, it doesn’t hurt to lose one Ten Thousand Caves Valley."
Su Xiaodie nodded and then asked: "News about Gloryland has been blocked. You are so close. Is there any news recently?"
"Of course there is some news. The eldest son of Baiyue was about to ascend the throne. Unexpectedly, a man appeared on the way. After this man came to the Kingdom of Glory, he turned the tide. The original king of the Kingdom of Glory received the help of this man and was almost able to stabilize the situation. .”
"So, the eldest prince's plan failed? This is really not good news. Do you know the identity of this person?"
"Don't worry, since Baiyue has been planning for so long, it is impossible to use this method. The eldest prince is a hero, let's wait and see. As for that person, he is Huo Baozi, one of the two immortals of wind and fire." Granny Miao He looked at Su Ran meaningfully, and then said unhurriedly
Su Xiaodie knew that Granny Miao was looking at her, but she still pretended not to know and murmured: "Huo Baozi? It turns out to be him. The hands of those who pick immortals are so far. Granny, if the eldest prince succeeds in his pursuit of the country, Miao Can Zhai follow the agreement and go north to help the head coach?"
Grandma Miao looked at the bonfire in front of the three of them, slightly absent-minded. After Su Xiaodie asked again, Grandma Miao said: "You kill the old monkey, and I will take the Miao people north. This price will never change!" "
This sentence completely blocked Su Xiaodie's idea of persuading her. Su Xiaodie naturally knew the identity of Granny Miao and the 'old monkey' in her mouth, but this was not something she could do. Even the leader couldn't agree.
Su Xiaodie closed her mouth, and Yanying next to her did not dare to speak. However, Grandma Miao kept looking at Su Xiaodie, and then asked: "Su Ran, Grandma, I have a question I have been wanting to ask you, no?" Know whether to ask or not.”
Su Xiaodie said with a smile: "I have grown up with my grandma since I was a child. Why are we still strangers after not seeing each other for several years? If grandma wants to know anything, it's okay to ask. I will tell you everything."
Grandma Miao nodded, but looked at the bonfire: "After you learned about Du Jie's whereabouts, you insisted on letting me hold a walking wedding party. This is very different from what you had in mind when you left Miao Village. .What have you encountered outside in the past few years? It has made you change your mind."
Su Xiaodie smiled and said: "I knew my mother-in-law would ask. In fact, there is nothing to change, but the leader said that Du Jie is very important to me, and I must try my best to stay by his side. Now that I am in Miao Village , naturally I have to think of a way to get him to come to me. I also want to see where I stand in his heart through walking marriage."
"Are you so confident that she will come over?"
"Of course I'm not sure. If he can't come, I have other options."
Grandma Miao nodded and didn't say anything. After a long time, she got up and walked out slowly. Before going out, she paused for a moment and said softly: "Be careful of being poisoned. You will waste half your life and end up with lovesickness." These words seemed to be said to Su Xiaodie, and they seemed to be said to Yanying, but more like they were said to herself.
Su Xiaodie didn't understand what Grandma Miao said, and froze on the spot. Yanying helped Grandma Miao out, and at this moment, the Miao village was brightly lit, and the men and women looked beaming with joy.
Walking marriage is a big deal in the Miao village. Any woman who reaches the age of 28 can participate in a walking marriage. There are also different forms of walking marriage. The form of this walking marriage ceremony is quite similar to the style of competition to recruit a bride. Men of the right age in the Miao village compete against each other, and the winner can be chosen first. This is also a method of survival of the fittest found in a harsh environment. After all, it is humid and hot here in southern Xinjiang. Except for the exiled people in the Central Plains, no one can stay here for a long time.
At this time, in a huge open space inside the Miao Village, a wonderful competition was taking place.
The opponent was a sturdy middle-aged man with a slight beard. The muscles all over his body were exposed, like a strong man, with dark skin and an expression of indifference, staring at his opponent. His opponent was a short young man, and his whole body was tightly wrapped. Even so, his thin body looked extremely weak.
Next to the young man, stood a tall figure. The figure was completely wrapped in a cloak, making it difficult to see clearly.
At this time, I don’t know what the young man said to the strong man. I saw the figure wrapped in the cloak behind him fly lightly, and two arms with swords stretched out from under the cloak. Then, without waiting for the strong man to say anything, What? The figure in the cloak used both hands and slashed hard at the strongman. The strongman's eyes widened and he blocked it with both arms. There was a sound of metal hitting each other, and the figure in the cloak struck the black ring on the warrior's arm with his two swords.
The figure was stunned for a moment, and then two more arms stretched out from under the cloak. On the arms were a pair of copper hammers. Then the two knives were withdrawn, and the two hammers hit the same place. A deafening sound exploded, and the air waves caused the dust on the ring to churn.
Just when everyone had been smashed, a thunderous roar came from the ring, and the two hammers flew back. Then the strongman ducked in front of the figure, grabbed the arm with the hammer with both hands, and tore it apart. The figure couldn't bear the strength of the strongman at all, and with a tearing sound, the figure's arm was ripped off alive by the strongman.
I thought that the contest would end with the strongman winning, but I didn't expect that the figure with the broken arm became more ferocious, and suddenly countless hands flew out from under the cloak, each holding a sword. The broad cloak was torn into pieces in one fell swoop.
The figure finally revealed its true face. At this time, two people hiding in the dark couldn't help but jump wildly when they saw the figure's face.
These two people were naturally Du Jie and Ya'er who came to Miao Village quietly. The two looked at the figure and couldn't say a word.
The figure under the cloak has a huge head that looks like an ape. At this time, the ape's fangs are turned out, with an expression of choosing people to eat. What the two of them couldn't imagine was that the ape's huge body actually had six pairs of arms, and the six pairs of arms danced wildly in front of it, like a spider.
"What is this!?" Du Jie murmured
"I have never seen it before. There is a Gu corpse in Miao Village, but this thing is no longer a simple corpse controlled by Gu. Has Miao Village researched anything new during this time?"
"Gu corpse?" Du Jie looked towards the ring.
At this time, the animalistic nature of the multi-armed ape was unleashed, and it slashed and attacked the strong man. However, the strongman seems to have a well-thought-out plan, taking his time and showing off his moves. However, this state did not last long. After a few chops failed, the multi-handed ape suddenly seemed to have lost its strength.
Immediately afterwards, countless black smoke slowly flew out from the body of the multi-handed ape, and all of it rushed towards the young man.
As the last trace of smoke flew away from the body of the multi-handed ape, its huge figure finally fell on the ring, but the young man showed a completely different state from before. At this moment, his eyes were slightly red, and his whole person became He became more and more rickety, and his face gradually showed a bloodthirsty look.
Ya'er took a breath of cold air and said: "Introduce the poison into the body and forcibly improve your own abilities. When did the Miao Village stop practicing forbidden arts again?"
"Forbidden technique?" Du Jie asked curiously: "What is a forbidden technique?"
"Forbidden arts are those unethical evil arts that have been banned from personal practice by the Miao village for various reasons. This person's practice of attracting gu into the body is a first-class forbidden technique. This technique can improve your skills in a short period of time. The host's ability stimulates the host's potential, and even the host can complete some tricks that are usually unattainable after using this method."
"Isn't that a good thing? Why is it a forbidden technique again?"
"Do you think there is no need to pay for this forbidden technique? This trick cannot be used on Gu corpses. Gu insects need to be able to sense the host. Dead corpses cannot do this. Moreover, the process of sensing with Gu insects is extremely painful. In this process, the success rate is less than half, and those who fail often become frustrated and crazy.”
Ya'er said with a rare sigh: "But these two points can't stop some people from practicing secretly. The biggest disadvantage of attracting the poison into the body is that once it is refined, it will become a nest of poison itself, and there will never be any more in the whole life. Heirs. Even if those who have heirs succeed in practicing, if the final host dies, the worms will take over the bodies of blood relatives. Even if there are no close relatives, the worms may not be able to find uncles and brothers."
"When I practiced this Gu technique, more than a dozen incense sticks were cut off in the Miao village. Only then was it classified as a forbidden technique."
Du Jie took a breath of cold air. Once this 'attracting the poison into the body' is perfected, wouldn't it become a curse inherited from generation to generation?
The two of them were talking, and the winner was about to be decided on the ring. The strongman didn't know if he had practiced some kind of Golden Bell Kungfu, but the young man attacked him several times without causing any damage. The strongman pressed forward step by step, and immediately To pull the young man out of the ring.
Just when the two of them were face to face, a strange color flashed across the young man's face, and then a stream of black smoke erupted from his nose, and the black smoke hit the strongman's face like an arrow. Black smoke floated above his face, and then the rikishi shouted "Oh!" and then fell down.
