Chapter 67: The Witchfire Festival
Fortunately, the luck was not so bad, and in the past two nights, in the river valley, although there were some troubles, they were all in danger and reached safely.
"Yes, Witch Master, this is the Witch of the Luodong people!" Bai He said.
He has followed Qiu Yuan a few times, and he is already familiar with the way.
He followed Qiu Yuan to learn archery and martial arts, and his skills were not bad.
At this moment, he said to the barbarian mountain in the distance, which was blocked by the mountains.
Luotong Manwu is a big witch mountain, with a population of thousands, even if it is separated by a valley, it can be seen clearly, there are not only bamboo buildings built on the opposite mountain, but even tiled houses.
"I heard that Luo Man was originally just a small witch, but later the old witch master came here and taught them how to farm the land, and also helped them do business with the Han people.
This Luodong Barbarian Witch has gradually prospered, and now it is a famous Great Witch Mountain in this mountain!"
White River has a lot of words.
It was much stronger than the taciturn Qiu Shan who followed behind.
Tao Xiaowu just asked, this Baihe can answer so much.
However, combined with what he saw in front of him, he could understand the situation of the barbarian witch more and more.
However, this Bai He didn't really understand what Tao Xiaowu wanted to say.
It wasn't until Na Qiu Shan opened his mouth that he said faintly: "The Wu Tong of the Luo barbarians is far away from the river valley!"
Among the 100,000 Hengduan mountains, at night, only this huge river valley passage is still safe.
Once you leave the valley and enter the mountains, you are in danger!
After so many nights, the group already knew about it.
At this time, you can see that although the barbarian mountain of Luodong is not too far away from the river valley, it has already broken away from the river valley!
Bai He didn't expect such a stubble, but at this time, he was suddenly pointed out by Qiu Shan, and his face suddenly changed slightly: "Yes, yes, it's so dangerous for us to spend the night in that mountain."
But I don't know how these barbarians have come over for so many years......"
The river valley is huge, washed out by countless years of flash floods.
There are quite a few fertile fields in it.
However, there is not a single barbarian witch in the middle of the witch mountain, why is that?
Tao Xiaowu saw that Bai He and the others understood, his face changed, so he chuckled lightly and said: "Actually, you don't need to think about it, these barbarian witches have been living in the 100,000 Hengduan Mountains since ancient times, and naturally have a way to avoid evil.
We still hurried to the road, and when we arrived at the Wutong of the Luotong people, we would know it as soon as we saw it!"
Only then did Bai He and the others relax, and they all should be.
Wangshan ran a dead horse, that's it!
Tao Xiaowu and the others were only separated by a valley, and they could all be seen clearly, and the straight-line distance was only a few miles.
However, it took half a day to go all the way around.
It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that he came to this barbarian witch.
Looking at it from a distance, the sun was shining obliquely, casting a huge shadow, which had already shrouded the entire barbarian mountain.
It seems like an hour or two earlier, and it's already dark......
It's dark early in the mountains, and that's it!
However, what really caught Tao Xiaowu's attention was not what these mortals could see with the naked eye.
Because Tao Xiaowu could feel that the entire mountain where Luotong Barbarian Witch Mountain was located seemed to be shrouded in a kind of power.
Tao Xiaowu looked over, and he could see that above the barbarian mountain, there seemed to be a steaming aura rising up, which was invisible to ordinary people.
However, Tao Xiaowu could see it clearly, and the aura seemed to condense into a huge spider, entrenched over the entire tribe with teeth and claws.
The surrounding clouds are like a web made of spiders, enveloping the entire mountain.
"This is the witch spirit of the Luotong barbarian witch, it turns out that these barbarian witches rely on the witch spirit to survive in this dangerous mountain.
However, the Luotong Barbarian Witch is really the majority, and the Witch Spirit is a hundred times stronger than the Witch Spirit I dealt with last time!"
When Tao Xiaowu saw it, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
This is about the most powerful god Tao Xiaowu has ever seen, except for the two Hengting ghosts.
That's right, in Tao Xiaowu's opinion, this is no longer a witch spirit, at least they are all witch gods!
Even Tao Xiaowu couldn't help but feel a great oppressive force.
Obviously, the witch spirit of this Luo Dao Barbarian Witch seems to be much more powerful than his Tao Xiao Wu!
"Interesting, interesting...... Among the 100,000 Hengduan Mountains, it seems to be getting more and more interesting......"
Luotong Manwu has a lot of exchanges with the outside, and business contacts, so it is quite good to repair the road outside the Mantong.
As soon as the group went up the mountain, they came to the barbarian mountain to report their history, and they heard the sound behind them.
But listening to the noise behind me, there is also a cheerful singing.
A group of Romans dressed as hunters returned happily.
And he saw that each of them was carrying prey on his back, and that there were deer, pheasants, rabbits, and so on.
The most conspicuous thing is a few people carrying a tiger tied to a log.
The tiger was bleeding and seriously injured, but it didn't seem to be dead, and the blood was flowing all the way.
The barbarian witches guarding the door were very happy to see it, and greeted these hunters, but they didn't care about greeting Tao Xiaowu.
Fortunately, it had already been reported, and after a while, Na Luo Man had already brought the elders, leaders and others in the barbarian mountain to greet him.
As soon as they met, they gave Tao Xiaowu a big hug, and his attitude was very enthusiastic.
After all, although Wu Cheng was kind to them at the beginning, he taught them to farm and buy and sell with the mountain. But what kind of kindness can be eaten for a lifetime?
Just thinking about this, Na Luo Man was already happy and said, "The witch spirit has notified me that a distinguished guest is coming!"
Da Wu Tao, you came just in time.
We're just waiting for you to come before we start the Witchfire Festival!
We have prepared the best food and drinks, and we have people go out to shoot a tiger and sacrifice to the witch spirit.
When the time comes, the witch spirit will definitely see you in person!"
Bai He leaned into Tao Xiaowu's ear and said: "After the barbarian witch man's Wu Yu died, he was not buried, but was cremated. It's called the Witchfire Festival!
For the barbarian witches, this is not something to be sad about, but something worth celebrating and joyful.
Because the souls of the dead will go to the land of witches and spirits to meet with their ancestors who have died through the ages!"
Tao Xiaowu nodded slightly, and his thoughts changed slightly.
You can already understand why such a custom has formed in this mountain!
The mountains are full of evil, and the demons in and out of the ground are in and out.
If the body is buried, I am afraid that it will not be long before the corpse will be transformed.
When the time comes, the mountains will be full of zombies!
Because of this, the custom of cremation was formed.
However, at the same time, it is also a sacrifice to the witch spirit, which is interesting!
Thinking of the tiger hunted by the barbarian witch hunter he had just seen, Tao Xiaowu knew that it was actually used to worship witch spirits.
