Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

"This……"

"Brother Chen, Bamoap once said that the natives here are extremely hostile to outsiders, is that true?"

Hear this.

Partridge Whistle, who was riding on horseback, could not help but frown slightly and said hesitantly.

"Brother Dao, don't worry."

"Just to get in touch, it's best if you can enter the village. If you can't, it's okay. The mountains here are rolling, so you can find a valley to set up camp."

Chen Yulou smiled and said casually.

Then he waved the guy away.

See him so calm.

Partridge Whistle didn't say much, he just raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the man disappeared.

Looking across the dense forest.

You can still vaguely see a winding and vast river, and the sound of rushing water echoes around.

Except for him, everyone else was also worried.

After passing the ancient city of Nanjian, they encountered many villages along the way. However, they saw outsiders passing by from a distance. The gates were either closed, or they were holding spears and looking menacing.

The cave dweller Miao village in Laoxiong Ridge.

There has been trade with foreign countries for generations.

Still so defensive towards outsiders.

This place is so remote that the natives are not civilized. They even live in the era of slash and burn farming.

Can there be exceptions?

But the shopkeeper's words were what they said, and it was not easy for them to refute them.

The group of people could only sit on their horses and watch from a distance, waiting in silence. Only the horses beneath them sneezed a few times, or neighed a few times as they walked back and forth.

their thoughts.

How could Chen Yulou not understand?

He also saw what happened along the way.

However, this place is really not the same as other places.

Descendants of the ancient Di Qiang people, the Wa people.

These two keywords alone were enough for him to take the risk.

Thousands of years ago, Prime Minister Zhuge pacified the Southern Barbarians and made an agreement with the Wa people. The Wa people would always be the gatekeepers of the country for the Han people for generations.

More than two hundred years ago.

There was also Li Dingguo, a famous general in the Southern Ming Dynasty, who swore an alliance with various tribes and raised troops to march south to the west, stirring up chaos in the world.

This Wa village has been settled here for generations, and it is very likely that they still remember the agreement to guard the gate and the oath made by the King of Han.

This is what Chen Yulou is betting on.

of course.

Even if the mountain people don't want them to enter the village, it's okay.

This trip to Zhelong Mountain was originally intended to steal the tomb of King Xian. Too much talk would lead to mistakes.

Waited for a while.

The guy left and came back.

However, unlike the anxiety before, his face at this moment was full of surprise.

"Shopkeeper, we have been in contact with that brother just now. We heard that the Han people came from afar, so we specially invited the clan leader, saying that as long as he showed his identity, he could enter the village."

"Can?!"

Upon hearing this.

The eyes of the thieves who were still in shock and doubt suddenly lit up.

There are rolling mountains here, and it's about to get dark.

If you really want to camp in the mountains, the dangers can be imagined.

But entering the village is different.

Maybe you can even have a warm meal.

"Yes, when I came back, I saw a group of people coming out of the village from a distance, and two old people, who seemed to have a high status, rushing towards the river."

The guy responded quickly.

"Okay, everyone, come with me to pay my respects first."

Hearing this, Chen Yulou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that he made the right bet.

Those two old men were most likely the patriarchs and village masters of the clan.

The fact that they came out of the stronghold to welcome him already explained everything.

He immediately slapped the horse on its back and rushed towards the river. Others did not dare to delay and chased after him.

Waiting to cross the jungle.

From a distance, you can see a big river running across the mountains.

It is winding and winding, shaped like a giant white python.

"Snake River..."

Chen Yulou stood by the water. Before he even got close, he could feel a stream of cold water vapor blowing into his face, sweeping away the heat of the journey.

The Snake River is formed by the convergence of streams after the ice and snow in Zhelong Mountain melted.

Flowing between mountains and forests.

Eventually it merges with the Lancang River.

On the other side of the Snake River, one can indeed vaguely see an old village.

At first glance, it is either a stilt-style bamboo building or a two-story chicken coop house made of grass and trees.

See these two obvious characteristics.

Chen Yulou was even more convinced that this place must be a Wa village.

Among the hundreds of ethnic groups in southern Yunnan, only the Wa people live in this unique cage house.

The mountains and forests are full of poisons, snakes, insects, rats and ants are everywhere. In addition, it is rainy in the mountains. People live in the upper floors of the chicken coops and raise some chickens and ducks below, which can perfectly adapt to this environment and landscape.

And this moment.

A tree-lined path with a canopy of trees like clouds.

Two gray-haired old men, one on the left and one on the right, were coming with wooden sticks.

Except them.

There are also many young people.

All of them are strong and strong, with short swords hanging on their waists and bamboo bows on their backs.

See this.

Chen Yulou did not dare to entrust him, so he jumped off the horse and handed the dragon colt to the hands of the waiter on the side.

The same was true for Partridge Whistle and others, and they dismounted one after another.

Stand behind him.

The two groups of people faced each other across the river.

soon.

A man with an unruly expression, like a ferocious beast, emerged from the crowd and shouted something at the group of people.

When they came, they also learned a few simple words of various ethnic languages ​​from Bamo.

But at this moment, I feel like listening to a book from heaven.

Chen Yulou didn't understand either.

But I can roughly understand what he means.

He immediately clasped his fists and said loudly.

"Chen Yulou in western Hunan passed by the treasure land today and came here to pay his respects. I hope to get permission to spend the night in the stronghold."

"Really Han Chinese?!"

He is not loud.

But it happened to be able to be heard clearly by everyone on the river bank.

A group of young people were confused and confused after hearing this.

But the eyes of an old man standing at the front suddenly lit up, and he murmured in a low voice. The trembling beard on his chin had already exposed his thoughts.

"Xi Gu, are you sure?"

"Since the King of Han and his uncle left, no Han people have come here for hundreds of years."

The old man next to him also looked extremely excited.

I heard a report from the villagers in the village before, saying that a group of Han people came from the other side of the Snake River.

They were amazed.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come out to investigate in person.

And the King of Han in his mouth was Li Dingguo.

As for the uncle, it was Wu Shangxian who went deep into southern Yunnan more than a hundred years ago, discovered a silver mine, and was revered as the owner of the mine.

The two have high status among the Wa people and are deeply popular among the people.

In various Wa tribes, the saying "Yao Lao Li and Xi Lao Wu" has been circulating for many years.

only……

Since two people passed away.

The contact between the Wa people and the Han people was severed, and there was almost no contact between them.
