strange deer

Keep driving.Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and walking towards the tigers, it takes more than courage.While discussing countermeasures, everyone began to worry about Liu Chang again.The young Gu master will not be in danger of his life for the time being, but it is hard to predict whether he will suffer physical pain or not.The cruelest thing in this world is not to be killed by a single knife, but to be tortured both mentally and physically.It is not impossible to do such a thing with the way of the fire ants.

The further we went, the thicker the fog became.The speed of the car slowed down, so that the journey that originally only took half a day was dragged until near dusk before arriving at the destination.In the past, the light was still clear at this time, but for the last part of the journey today, Yuan Kai had to turn on the headlights of the van to drive smoothly.

Without Liu Chang as a guide, fortunately there is only one mountain road.There are not so many branches, just drive straight ahead.

Whether Leigong Mountain is majestic or not, and what the mountain looks like, no one can see.When approaching the Leigong Mountain Dong Village, Ji Yuan was the first to speak out: "Wait, it seems to be... an enchantment!"

If you look carefully, there seems to be lights flickering in front of you.

The lingering fog is really an annoying thing. With the cultivation base of the great witch Ji Yuan, she concentrated all the way to sense it, and it was only at such a short distance that she sensed the existence of the enchantment.

Get out of the car and walk forward, but at a distance of 50 meters, a magnificent Fengyu Bridge looms in front of you.

Fengyu Bridge is a covered bridge of pure wood structure, and the bridge, tower and pavilion are integrated into one.No need for iron or nails, all rely on chiseling and tenon connection, showing the exquisite craftsmanship of carpentry.The deck of the bridge is paved with railings and benches on both sides; the roof of the bridge is covered with tiles to form a corridor-like walkway.The pagodas and pavilions are built on stone piers, with multiple layers, the corners of the eaves are upturned, and there are treasure gourds on the top.The small tiles are gray and black, and with the upturned eaves, they merge into the dark sky; the wall panels and the floor are dark, which is the effect of brushing tung oil to prevent the pillars, and the pillars and panels that have been touched for a long time are even stained.

In short, from just a glance, this Wind and Rain Bridge has existed for at least a hundred years.

Under the bridge is a mountain stream with clean water, and the stream is lively. I don’t know if it can still be so patient during the rainstorm?

On the wooden bench at the end of the bridge, a few old Dong people sat, chatting with their grandchildren, feeling very happy.

The other end of the Fengyu Bridge is the Dong village. The strange thing is that the fog is isolated from the village, presumably because of the existence of the enchantment.The whole village can be seen at a glance, and the majestic Drum Tower in the center of the village is even more unforgettable.

Because of being cheated before, even though the old man at Qiaotou was kind and kind, and the young children were innocent and cute, no one dared to go up to say hello directly.

Waiting is not an option, Yuan Kai cast a spell and charged forward with his own spiritual power.After the collision, everyone could see clearly that there was a colorful barrier covering the entire Dong village.The villagers are mortals, so they are ignorant. They see the surprised expressions of Liu Xingyu and others and use it as a talking point.

With the help of Hua Jiangli, Liu Xingyu saw the legendary enchantment for the first time.The gorgeous and flowing colors are really hard to describe in words.Even if you see it with your own eyes, there is still a sense of trance and unreality.

Ji Yuan stretched out her fingers and touched the barrier, her serious expression softened: "It's okay, this barrier has nothing to do with the ant demon. It must be because this village has a long history, and the things of the ancestors are enshrined in the village; the ancestors have spirits, So when the monster fog came, the enchantment was automatically generated."

"Then... can we go in?" the cat demon Miao Xiao asked.

"It shouldn't be a problem. We don't have any evil spirits on us. Although you and Mu Ci are demons, but because you have been washed by Lord Tianhu's immortal energy for a long time, I think this barrier will not repel you." After Ji Yuan finished speaking, she took the lead to pass through the knot. The world is indeed safe.

Everyone was relieved, and passed through the barrier one by one to the front of Fengyu Bridge.

The Leigong Mountain Dong Village is considered a popular tourist attraction for the small and fresh. The nouveau riche love to go abroad to show off their quality, but the literary and artistic youth love the mountains and rivers and the simple folk customs here.Because there are many tourists from all over the year, the elderly and children at Qiaotou are not particularly curious about Liu Xingyu and his party.

Ji Yuan has a good eye, and picked out the most dignified one among the old people, walked over to salute and asked: "Uncle, we are here for tourism, the feng shui of this village is really good, and the repair is also beautiful—— You have lived here for generations, when was this stockade built?"

The old man was indeed highly respected in the village. Seeing Ji Yuan's youthful appearance and pleasant speech, he laughed and replied proudly, "It was built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Xingyu is usually not interested in human geography, but when he heard Zhai Lao's words, he stuck out his tongue and said in surprise: "Isn't that built in the same era as the Forbidden City in the imperial capital?"

The pride on Zhai Lao's face deepened: "This is nothing! The bronze drum on the drum tower in the village is said to have been used by the three Miao army of Chiyou God of War!"

Ji Yuan said softly: "No wonder." She thanked the old man, and led everyone across the Fengyu Bridge to the Dong village.

If it is a bronze drum handed down from ancient times, even if it wasn’t forged and tempered by Chi You himself, who was influenced by the essence of the sun and the moon, and influenced by popularity, the bronze drum itself has become a spiritual thing.And because she was washed with the spirit of slaughter in the ancient war——Ji Yuan, even if she tried her best, she couldn't break the barrier formed by the bronze drum, and it was even more impossible for those evil spirits to approach the Dong village.

The bronze drum is placed on the top of the tall drum tower. According to the customs of the Dong people, no major incidents should disturb the bronze drum. Yuan Kai and Du Heng have already studied this knowledge before coming here. At this time, I will popularize science to everyone to avoid curiosity. Driven by the heart to get into trouble.

According to common sense, in relatively remote mountain villages, ethnic minorities generally better preserve their own language, and their names should also be transliterated.The Dong people in Leigong Mountain have Han surnames, of which Long and Yang are the two largest.

Du Heng is a top student, and explained to Liu Xingyu, a low-achieving student: "It is possible that the ancestors of the Zhai people were chieftains or nobles among ethnic minorities in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Later generations also inherited the Han surname."

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the relationship between the Miao and the Central Plains dynasties was rather delicate, and local tragic wars lasted intermittently for two dynasties.This part of history is often overlooked because it is not a "mainstream" example.Because Du Heng wanted to study the origin of the "worm dish", he borrowed a lot of documents and books to verify it, so he knew these "last days".

In the same way, everyone is not worried about not being able to find a place to stay because they have checked the "strategy" on the Internet before.Liu Xingyu, a young man with no money, no mobile phone and no parents around, follows everyone with a bad temper, and can't be careless while eating and sleeping.

The fog couldn't get into the village, but it still weakened the power of the sun.At dusk, the sunlight changes into a brilliant orange-red after the heavy fog.The gray-black ancient village is dyed orange red, which is indescribably shocking.Nature is silent, but it always moves humans with magical means that humans cannot imagine.

A second ago, the village was quiet, but after a clear shout, men, women, old and young went out beaming with joy.

Liu Xingyu was also excited: "Wow, are they wearing festive costumes? Are they preparing to welcome us? We only have less than ten people in total, so it's not worth it? Is it because the mountains were closed by the fog for several days?" Tourists, so we have become rare and expensive?"

Rabbit Yao Muci couldn't help complaining: "Yes, they are wearing festive costumes—but, they are holding firewood in their hands, maybe they want to roast us?"

"Firewood...Maybe today is the Torch Festival?" Liu Xingyu retorted.

Du Heng couldn't help giving Liu Xingyu a hand: "Don't talk nonsense, this is a Dong village, and the Torch Festival is a traditional festival of the Yi people."

Liu Xingyu: "..." Fortunately, the villagers didn't hear it, otherwise, even if they weren't beaten, they would definitely be laughed at by the onlookers.In order to break the embarrassment caused by his lack of knowledge, Liu Xingyu spotted a guy who seemed easy to get along with, and asked, "Handsome guy, what's going on today? Everyone is in high spirits!"

"Today is the coming-of-age ceremony of the Mistress Longrui! Everyone wants to celebrate the Mistress!" After finishing speaking, the little brother squeezed into the open space in front of the Drum Tower with a full load of firewood.

The closer you get to Moon Mountain, the more revered the Way of Witchcraft is, so everyone doesn't think it's surprising that there are witches in Thunder Mountain.However, even the Great Priestess Ji Yuan was curious about what would be different and lively in the coming-of-age ceremony of modern witches.

Earlier, the fire ant demon said that he wants everyone to rush to Leigong Mountain, and it will show up again.However, the enchantment of Leigong Mountain is enough to keep the fire ant monster out of the village-this is a contradiction in itself, and everyone will not relax their vigilance against the crisis.Whether the coming-of-age ceremony of the witch Longrui was a coincidence remains to be seen.

As the crowd came to the empty square, Liu Xingyu, relying on his height, could clearly see the witch Long Rui surrounded by a group of Dong girls.

There is no thick foundation that cannot be melted, no eyeliner that does not melt with water, and a pure natural beauty without makeup.Among the Dong girls, Longrui's skin is particularly fair, perhaps because the witches don't have to work as busy as other girls.

Liu Xingyu was immediately stunned - don't forget, apart from fighting, Liu Xingyu's other hobby is picking up girls, and pretty girls can always make him look more often.In fact, Long Rui's appearance is slightly inferior to Ji Yuan's, but Liu Xingyu knows that Ji Yuan cannot be offended, so his interest in Ji Yuan is far less than that of Long Rui.

The pile of firewood was burning, and the Dong people opened their mouths to sing the multi-voiced Dong song "Song of the Cicada".Without accompaniment and conductor, Liu Xingyu was dumbfounded when he heard it—the Dong nationality is really a nation that can sing naturally!

The dancing flames warmed people's hearts and put bright smiles on everyone's faces.

However, Long Rui, the protagonist of the celebration ceremony, kept her brows tightly furrowed, appearing preoccupied, which aroused Liu Xingyu's urge to relieve the beauty's worries.

"Pengzhai is old!"

Someone shouted, everyone turned their heads, and the crowd automatically made way.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Peng Kuanshan, the old Miao villager in Moon Mountain, said happily from a long distance away.He was followed by several Miao boys and girls, among them a tall handsome boy in a red-brown robe printed with white plum blossoms was particularly eye-catching.

The tall and handsome boy looked very lively, he glanced casually in the crowd; suddenly, his eyes lit up.

The cat demon secretly poked the rabbit demon: "Muci, that kid is looking at you!"

"No way? Why do I feel like he's looking at you?"

The two little demons spoke very quietly, but they still couldn't escape Ji Yuan's ears.Ji Yuan added: "It should be watching Muci—he is also a demon!"
