Chapter 1200: Strengthen Yourself
Zhang Po paused and continued: "The women holding the stones and accepting the prayers of the villagers are equivalent to carrying the hope of the villagers and the protection of the gods, so that they will not be bullied after marrying into other villages. ”
Xiao Yifei thought it was funny, and he didn't look like a primitive person who had been assimilated by the villagers, so why didn't he stop this stupid behavior, so he asked euphemistically, "Have the aristocratic people always been like this?"
Zhang Po understood the meaning of his words, and said indifferently, "I don't know why, since my father died, the people in the village have begun to become unsuitable for cultivation, unable to draw qi from nature to strengthen themselves, only I can master the Zhang family's exercises, and the few strong people in the village have also passed away with my father in recent years." I'm the only one stationed here, so no one but me has access to the outside world, and the production and life in the village have begun to deteriorate, and many of the old bad habits that have been abolished by my father have revived, and they feel comfortable wearing animal skins, what else can I do. ”
Xiao Yifei interrupted that you can teach them, you are the patriarch. ”
Zhang Po sighed and said, "I, the patriarch, have died in name only, and now the high priest is at the discretion of the high priest in all matters in the village, and I can't use force them to obey my orders, and besides, the sacrifices in the village are not evil people, and the affairs of the village are managed in an orderly manner, and I am also idle, why not do it." With that, he picked up the flask and took a few sips, his tone full of helplessness.
Xiao Yifei probably knew in his heart that although Zhang Po was not a person who was satisfied with the status quo, as the head of a family, many things were more important to the will of the people, and excessive dictatorship would only affect the development of the Zhang family. It is estimated that he didn't expect that the Zhang family would develop into this appearance, and over time, he got used to it.
"Then why can't the Zhang family's clansmen cultivate?" asked Ci Xin.
"I don't know, I'm also very strange, it's just that one day suddenly some strong people's qi in the village began to block, because we practice the same kind of exercise, and I also tried to use my own qi to instill it in them, but with little effect, their meridians seemed to be blocked. I can't help it. ”
When Xiao Yifei heard this, he felt that this matter was a bit strange, and he was determined to help Zhang Po solve his heart, after all, his own family is still a doctor, and what practitioners pay attention to is to save lives and help the wounded.
Ci Xin also thought the same, the two hit it off and told Zhang Po of his thoughts, Zhang Po was also very happy, and promised to do his best to help the two of them.
When the three of them were discussing countermeasures, a small boat came from the swamp, the fog was too big, Xiao Yifei couldn't see the people sitting on the boat clearly, Zhang Po whispered to him that this was from the tribe next door, to marry these two girls.
Xiao Yifei suddenly realized that it was the groom's official, so he had to take a closer look.
When the people on the boat docked, Xiao Yifei was able to see the faces of several people, and this look shocked Xiao Yifei into a cold sweat, aren't these people the only humanoid statue he saw in the village
Four big men came down from the boat, each more than two meters tall, with their upper bodies exposed, dark skin, vigorous posture, and big shoulders and round waists. Everyone wore the same mask on their faces, making it difficult to see their faces, and their eyes were the size of copper bells, and they walked with a tiger's wind and swaggered towards them.
The only difference from the statues Xiao Yifei saw in the village was that there were no giant axes in the palms of these people's hands.
Zhang Po told Xiao Yifei that these people lived at the end of the swamp, a brave and warlike tribe, and the village has been marrying this tribe for several years, and the girls in the village are very eager to marry into this tribe, and even set up a statue of their tribal leader in the village.
Xiao Yifei asked in a low voice, "Are there any cultivators in their clan?"
"I don't know about this, the only condition for their tribe to marry us is that our relatives are not allowed to visit the girl who has been married, but the women will bring a little accent every month, telling their relatives that they are living like fairies over there, and they don't know what to do. ”
Xiao Yifei said in his heart, "What you have done as a patriarch is really a failure, I don't know if you ask three questions, and I don't know how you have spent all these years."
During the conversation, these people had already walked up, glanced at Xiao Yifei and Ci Xin, who were dressed strangely, and then cast a questioning look at Zhang Po.
Zhang Po bowed his head lightly, signaling them not to worry, just continue. The strong man nodded, approached the bride, and bowed slightly towards them to show respect, Xiao Yifei thought to himself that these old men were quite gentlemen.
Later, in the presence of a group of people, the strong man took out a paper bag from his waist, and when he opened it, it was a handful of white powder. Xiao Yifei noticed that after the group of strong men opened the paper bag, the bride's face immediately showed excitement.
Zhang Po explained, "This is a secret medicine prepared by their family, which can play a role in beautifying and nourishing the skin after smoking, and will also dredge the meridians, making the body extremely comfortable." It was given to the bride by their clan as a welcome gift for the bride.
The bride at this time seemed to be waiting for God's gift of the disciples, her eyes were full of fascination and expectation, with the leading strong man's order, the two brides were like seeing flesh and blood mosquitoes, quickly took the paper package from the strong man's mobile phone, and inhaled all the white powder on it into the nostrils.
After inhaling the powder, the bride's body collapsed into the bad of the strong man, a bright red floated on her cheeks, her expression was full of enjoyment and intoxication, and one of the girls made a soul-stirring sound, which made Xiao Yifei blush.
After nodding to Zhang Po, two of the strong men carried the bride onto the boat and disappeared into the mist.
This time the wedding ceremony seems to be over, thinking of the two brides smoking powder, Xiao Yifei's heart is like a galloping horse, it is simply too much, this tonic is like smoking du.
Wrong
Xiao Yifei immediately realized the strangeness, two sensitive words smashed into her mind like a hammer, he flew to the position where the two girls were standing just now, dipped his hand in some powder on the ground, lowered his head and sniffed lightly.
Sure enough, there was a problem
Xiao Yifei ran to the river and looked in the direction where the boat left, and there was ethereal biogas as far as he could see, and he didn't know where the people had gone. Xiao Yifei patted his thigh with remorse and said, "You have been deceived"
Ci Xin, who had been watching from the sidelines, asked "What's going on?"
Zhang Po also came over, looked at the powder in Xiao Yifei's hand, and showed a puzzled expression.
And the villagers who had just held the ceremony heard Xiao Yifei's shout, and they all stared at Xiao Yifei with strange eyes, as if they were looking at monsters.
Xiao Yifei ignored it and said to himself, "What kind of secret medicine is this, the drug is almost the same." ”
Zhang Po was shocked, "What's going on", and listened attentively.
"We are a doctor in the Xiao family era, and we are familiar with the smell of herbs, there are Ma A Huang ingredients in this powder, this Ma A Huang is used for Hu stuffy asthma and cough, feng shui edema, rheumatism and pain, pubic gangrene, phlegm nucleus, known for Xuan Lung and asthma and cough, but excessive use of Ma A Huang will make the re-eater hallucinate, want to die, and produce dependence, those men have huge palms, and a handful of powder in their hands is not eight taels and half a catty, no wonder it will make the two girls have such a reaction, this is not a tonic at all, I guess they just want to take women away from you, as for the purpose, I don't know。 ”
