Chapter 182: Southern Wilderness Nine Li
The river is wide, .ranena'com
The monk was so frightened that he sat in the boat and kept chanting scriptures to comfort himself, and finally ended the shaking journey and leaned on the opposite bank of the river, and the monk almost went ashore with trembling legs, and he was seasick and dizzy.
"Multi-...... Thank you, donor......"
"You're welcome, I'm glad to see you. ”
After speaking, he didn't care about the monk's thanks, and directly used the sculls to control the boat to retreat and leave the river beach, turn the bow of the boat and go straight downstream, and the boat quickly disappeared into the sky.
The monk who gradually eased up always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.
After a long time, he shook his head and continued on the road.
After a month along the river, the water gradually eased.
In his spare time, he simply put away the oars and lay down on the boat, cocked Erlang's legs and played the flute, and occasionally controlled the water to control the boat and go down the river in the current, absolutely autonomously, wearing a straw hat and playing leisurely.
Bai Yu felt good about himself, and thought of a sentence to describe himself.
A song of liver and intestines is broken, where to find a bosom friend at the end of the world.
Bosom friend really doesn't need it, but I just think it's more domineering to describe it like this, all the way down the river to the south of the Yangtze River, fortunately, it's far away from the Demon Sect's Dianjun Mountain, be careful to see if there's anything fun, escape the suppression and be free, of course, you have to travel around to see what has changed in the past two hundred years.
Going down the waterway, the most heard thing is about Western teaching.
There are many similar legends about a golden Buddha that pops up in a certain place, and then builds a temple in that place, or a certain monk who turns demons into mounts.
Bai Yu felt that these were very similar to the intrigues in the court, and they were also taking advantage of the situation.
Occasionally, you will encounter a temple by the river.
From afar, I can feel that there is an energy field in the temple that makes the demon beast dislike, almost instinctively want to stay away, that kind of energy field is different from the formation set up by ordinary monks, it is a kind of rejection from the heart, and even once a temple was built on the cliff by the river, forcing Bai Yu to carry a wooden boat over the mountains and mountains to bypass.
One day, I arrived at a riverside county.
Bai Yu, who wore a straw hat and entered the city, saw many people gathered in front of the notice board at the city gate.
Curious, he used spells to squeeze to the front without a trace, and looked at the abbreviation of the notice, frowning slightly, it was an imperial list, announcing that the world would list Western Buddhism as a state religion.
Sure enough, the imperial court still liked all kinds of organizations that were conducive to rule.
After reading, he turned and left.
Humans can toss as much as they like, just toss hard, as long as you don't break ground on the snake's head.
Now that it is winter in the north, Bai Yu is very glad that he came to the south to escape the cold, and he can also catch the ripening season of various delicacies to satisfy the needs of his taste buds.
Unexpectedly, after staying in Jiangnan for a few days, he left in a hurry.
Without him, there are temples everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, there are small temples in the county seat, there are big temples in the county town, and there are monks everywhere, Bai Yu doesn't understand why these people neither pay taxes nor pay grain everywhere.
In the case of no way, I had to turn to the southwest, there are 100,000 mountains in the southwest and the Jiuli tribe, those simple Jiuli will not accept any gods except their own country, whoever goes will be driven out, as for the demon beasts in the 100,000 mountains will not believe in religion, it is simply a pure land.
So, a snake was forced by the ubiquitous temple to divert to the southwest.
The high road in the southwest mountain is dangerous, the water is turbulent, and Bai Yu sells the wooden boat, wears a bookbox on his back, and wears a straw hat all the way......
Yes, snakes and insects in the southwest region are extremely dangerous, and poisonous snakes and poisonous insects can be seen everywhere, but what does it matter? I really came here like a fish in water.
After killing and killing many strongmen along the way, he stepped into the southwest and crossed several small countries.
Leaving the border of the Tang Dynasty and walking into the boundary of Jiuli.
............
Jiuli.
Legend has it that the ancestors of Jiuli are Chi You, in ancient times, they were divided into nine tribes, each tribe had nine clans, believed in witchcraft, both men and women were good at fighting fearlessly, legend had fought with the Yellow Emperor's army under the leadership of the great leader Chi You in ancient times, and after the defeat, they moved all the way south to settle in the southern wilderness, and they were stunned to take root and multiply in the place where snakes and insects haunt the mountain high road.
Almost all the emperors of each dynasty have considered defeating Jiuli to expand their territory and become an emperor through the ages, but they are not adapted to the water and soil, and the men and women of Jiuli are difficult to advance an inch.
The Southern Wilderness is different from the Central Plains, everything in the Central Plains is difficult to take root in the Southern Wilderness, and even the cultivation system is different.
It can be said that there is no temple in this place at all, only a mysterious god, and there are many totems in the center of the tribal village that do not know what their identities are.
Bai Yu felt that he should follow the customs......
After meeting a Jiuli woman who went out alone, she knocked her unconscious and dragged her into the grass with a stick, don't get me wrong, just borrow some silver bracelets or something from her, and I don't know why people here like to wear silver jewelry items, snake scales can conjure clothes but lack hanging accessories, since they don't have them and others have them and they need them very much, then they can only grab it.
Jiuli costumes are still very beautiful.
Mainly green fabric, embroidered with all kinds of birds, beasts and flowers, a round neck full of short shirts, large and short sleeves, exposed forearms, collar and cuff piping, pleated skirt only to the knees, embroidered cloth shoes and knee-length blue socks, hairstyle and wear headdress.
In addition to the patterns embroidered on the surface of the clothing, all silver ornaments, a few on the top of the head, several bracelets on the wrist, a few on the chest, and a tinkle when walking.
Just as Bai Yu was posing back and forth against the water, there was a small tribe belonging to the Jiuli Bai tribe on the other side of the mountain that was being attacked......
The tribal village is built on a mountainside with cliffs on three sides, there are several wells in the stockade, and the number of people is about 1,000 people.
At this time, the wall of the village was broken and killed.
The costumes of the attackers are mainly black, and the costumes of the defeated defenders are decorated with white special patterns.
This situation is very common in the Southern Wilderness, Jiuli currently only has two ethnic groups, the Black Department and the White Division, under the jurisdiction of countless small tribes, attacking each other for many years, even if the same Jiuli still does not forget the infighting in the face of the aggressive offensive of the Central Plains, countless years of infighting consume too much strength, otherwise you can go out of the Southern Wilderness and the Central Plains to fight a few battles, so that you only dare to live in the periphery of the 100,000 mountains.
The environment of the Southern Wilderness is more primitive and respects strength, with powerful tribes bullying small tribes at will, and black and white attacking each other's small tribes to grab food and people.
Both the black and white tribes are scattered all over the country, and these large and small tribes are conquest and attack each other.
A tribe of the Black tribe broke through the walls of this small tribe of the White Department and continued to attack inside, killing countless men, while women and children were taken captive and bound to be brought back to the tribe as slaves.
The two sides accused each other and scolded each other in Jiuli language.
The white department retreated again and again, and most of the people gathered at the altar in the square in the stockade.
Someone in the crowd was speaking in Jiuli.
"Priest, there are so many dead people in the stockade...... The clansmen are about to lose their time!"
The old priest looked into the distance and screamed and sighed.
"Use the Hallows, we'll all die if we don't need to. ”
The dark-skinned man was stunned.
"You mean that ......"
"That's right. ”
"However, there are no monsters in the vicinity at all......"
The old priest looked helpless.
"I can only pray for the blessing of the ancestor of the witch god, there is only one last time left for the holy weapon, and if it is used up, other tribes will come to trouble in the future, and I ask the patriarch to go and block the attack of the black thief first to buy me time." ”
"Old priest, is there no other way?" the strong man sighed as he looked at the old priest's hand.
The old man shook his head.
"For the sake of today, we can only hope that Wu Zu will not abandon us. ”
With that, the old priest walked up to the altar......
The Zhuang Han chief gritted his teeth and roared.
"Protect the Priest!"
