Chapter 683 Xiangxi Adventure (3)
"What? What? Teemo? Is this a good port? Ma Chengfeng scratched his head.
Chu Tianyue glared at him angrily and said, "It's terrible to be uneducated, I don't understand you to ask, don't talk nonsense, let people laugh." β
It may be that everyone is chatting too noisily here, and the professor who was sleeping in the blanket opened his eyes at this time and added inappropriately: "Tima is the wizard in the Tujia cottage, Tusi!" β
"Okay, teacher, go to sleep, can't I teach this illiterate?" Chu Tianyue was afraid that the teacher would get sick again at this time, so she made a lot of noise to attract those Tujia people, and hurriedly injected Professor Monalo with sedatives.
Ma Chengfeng, like most of us northerners, does not know much about the culture of many ethnic minorities in the south, and sometimes often mixes them up. For example, everyone knows that the Tujia people, the Miao people, the Yao people, and the Buyi people...... Almost all of these ethnic minorities live in the rich mountains and forests of Xiangxi. Each of them has its own independent village, and the leaders in the village are not called the village chief, but are basically called Lao Si, or Tusi, and they will engage in some feudal superstitious activities, that is to say, these Tusi will basically use the gods and ghosts as a means of mediating.
The three mountains of Miaojiang are full of poisonous insects and miasma, and the locals are often bitten, and then they will go to the old man of their village to use spells to detoxify and continue their lives. So does it also mean that the witch Gu in Xiangxi is not only used by Miao people?
"Brother Dao, I have a question, you Xiangxi, do you know how to witch Gu regardless of the Tujia or Miao people?" Ma Chengfeng asked curiously. He suddenly had a bold idea, if this Tujia Tima is really so good, then what else are they going to find Bailing Village? What descendants of the Lan family are you looking for? He could have promised to help the Tujia people catch the thief, and then let Tima help the professor solve the Gu poison!
"Brother Tai, you think too much, the art of witchcraft is the skill of the Miao family, in addition, it is not that all seedlings will be Gu to solve Gu, generally every village has its own Gu woman, only Gu women have this method, and the Tujia Tima is more like ...... It's more like the head lowering technique in Southeast Asia, anyway, I can't say it well, my master told me when he was alive before, don't provoke the Tujia people when you pass through here, Da Tima has a very strange temper. β
Listening to the footsteps, those Tujia people had already walked in front of the ancestral hall of Third Sister Lan. The little Taoist priest said, you must not go out, whether it is the Tujia people or the Miao people, the opinion of our Han people is ...... It's all a bit extreme. I'm a corpse chaser, they don't dare to embarrass me, I'll go and see it.
There was a window in the West House, the window was papier-mΓ’chΓ©, Ma Chengfeng pierced a hole in the window with his fingers, and just stared out secretly. I saw the little Taoist priest walk to the door, tidy up, and then open the dilapidated wooden door of the ancestral hall with both hands.
Outside the door, sure enough, there were twenty or thirty people, led by an emaciated, dark-skinned old man in his sixties, the old man was dressed differently from other compatriots, he rode on a tall horse. He has a chopping knife diagonally around his waist, a horn in his hand, a colorful willow scarf behind his back, a phoenix crown on his head, a flower gown on his upper body, and eight Luo skirts on the bottom. This outfit is very good-looking.
"I wonder what Datima is up to?" The little Taoist priest clasped his hands into fists and looked respectful.
"Oh, that's you? Xiao Duan, your master died a few days ago, and you still haven't gone home? Is this relying on Xiangxi? Datima was not disrespectful. It can be heard that there is supreme authority in his words, as if he himself is the absolute leader of the three mountains of Miaojiang and the emperor of the soil. Of course, in Xiangxi that year, the Han people were inferior. Although the local ethnic minorities do not reject the corpse chaser, he is a Han corpse chaser, and he is several heads shorter in front of the big Tima.
"Datima doesn't know, Zirui's parents have long since died, leaving only one ancestral house, and Zi can't eat if he doesn't be a corpse chaser? It just so happened that I took over the business a few days ago, and I passed by here with three happy gods, and I couldn't help but get tired of walking, so I wanted to rest for a while in the ancestral hall of the third sister. He didn't dare to raise his head, and hurriedly explained.
Datima nodded: "Well, your master is a good person, but it's a pity, why did he accept you as a Han apprentice?" Let me ask you, are there any suspicious people in the Gu God Ancestral Hall? β
"Does the suspicious person mentioned by Tatima include the god of joy? Two of these three happy gods are going to go to Miao Village in your province via Xiangxi, and one is a friend of our Tujia family two hundred miles away, if the three of them are not suspicious, then ......"
At this time, a Tujia man stepped forward and whispered something in Da Tima's ear. Datima nodded.
"Xiao Duan, why are you lazy here in the middle of the night if you don't hurry? You, lazy worm, are not as good as your master! β
"Yes, yes, Datima taught that Zirui rested, ate some dry food, and hurried immediately, so as not to miss the urgent time for the god to return to his position." This corpse chaser is surnamed Duan, named Duan Zirui.
Speaking of Duan Zirui, he can be said to be the most handsome and youngest corpse chaser in Xiangxi. Ordinary corpse chasers are extremely ugly, whose good-looking children are willing to do this? There used to be an old saying that this child is really stubborn, and he can ward off evil spirits. This is also a rule for corpse chasers to accept apprentices, and it must be ugly.
Who is Duan Ruizu? Pull up five generations again, but it is the warlord Duan Qirui. Duan Qirui and everyone know that like Zhang Yuting, they are all Beiyang warlords, but they are only rich and poor for three generations, and in the end, the family is in the middle of the road, and the children and grandchildren are withered, and in this generation, there is only one seedling left in Duan Zirui. Speaking of Duan Qirui, we have to mention the social pattern of our country in the early years of the Republic of China, and the country's economic and military power was all in the hands of the Beiyang warlords.
Duan Qirui is an Anhui warlord, and Zhang Yuting is a sworn enemy, these two people are like brothers on the surface, but they are fighting openly and secretly. When Duan Qirui was at his most brilliant, because of the support of Xu Shuzheng, he became the head of the Beiyang government. That is, he entered Beiping. At that time, Beiping was still Wu Gongyao's sphere of influence. At the beginning, Wu Gongyao secretly supported Duan Qirui, so the two had a good personal relationship.
Therefore, Duan Zirui only knew about these code words of the Kanto thief.
This section of Zirui is not an ordinary person, when he was a child, he was abducted by the flower child, and the old flower child was also a little back, walking halfway through the mountains, and by chance, he actually ran into Y Yang Xuan Road. After Y Yang Xuandao saved Duan Zirui, he looked at the child's face. He said that your child's life is a little strange, but before the age of eighteen is not suitable for living at home, otherwise you will kill your own father, you should go away and do more good deeds to accumulate Y virtue, which can make up for the lack of your life.
