One Punch Man: Infinite Luck Chapter 501

Xiaobai let out a long breath, smiled and shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off the past years, and said, "Master Xing may know something, but I guess you don't. The origin of our fox demon clan is in the Here in southern Xinjiang, I grew up in this poor mountain and bad water."

Suru was stunned for a moment, and said, "Then why have you fox demons been shown in the folklore of Middle Earth for thousands of years?"

Xiaobai said lightly: "That's because thousands of years ago, I led our fox demon clan to leave here, go to Middle Earth, and finally settle in Huqi Mountain."

"Hu Qishan!?" Suru was taken aback, then turned to look at Xing Tao.

Xing Tao said lightly: "That's the headquarters of the Ghost King Sect!"

"The headquarters of the Ghost King Sect!?" Suru was startled, "What is the connection between your Fox Clan and the Devil Sect Ghost King Sect?"

Xiaobai directly shook his head and said: "Our fox demon clan and Ghost King Sect have been neighbors for hundreds of years, and we have lived in peace. Not only that, but during these hundreds of years, there have also been a few romances between humans and monsters." Looking at the two of them with a smile, he said, "After knowing that we are connected with the Ghost King Sect, you don't have any ideas?"

"You are you, and the Ghost King Sect is the Ghost King Sect!" Xingtao said flatly, "Although I was swayed by the previous suzerain of the Ghost King Sect, it has nothing to do with you. Even if I want to take revenge, I won't. On yourself!"

Suru on the side wanted to stagger this topic, and immediately said: "Then after this matter is over, do you still have to go back to Huqi Mountain to visit your fellow clansmen?"

"My family?" Xiaobai's face slowly dimmed, he looked up at the sky, and after a while, he said softly, "My family has already been killed by me." Xiaobai smiled wryly, his expression became more and more desolate, but I don't want to say any more.

"You still have two of the same clan!" Xing Tao glanced at Xiaobai and said, "Although I don't know where they are, but if no one comes to rescue them, they can only live for forty or fifty years! "

Xiaobai also fell silent.

On the other side, Suru was also silent for a moment, then changed the topic and said, "We have been walking for three days now, how far is it from the 'Qili Cave' you mentioned?"

Xiaobai looked at Xingtao and Suru, his eyes flicked across their faces like water, and said: "Qilidong is the largest settlement of the Miao people in southern Xinjiang. According to my impression, it is a place twenty miles away from here. The lively place where various ethnic groups live together is called Tianshui Village, and from there there is a treacherous path to the south, which is the road leading to the Miao people's Qilidong." Afterwards, she smiled bitterly and said: "But I am not I know if there have been any other changes in the situation in southern Xinjiang in the past 250 years."

"Twenty miles, not far, let's keep going!" A strange look flashed in Xing Tao's eyes, and he subconsciously quickened his pace. And Suru also followed by her side.

Xing Tao knew that the Dog God Temple he wanted to find was in Qilidong, where the main goal of his trip - the art of summoning souls. Only after learning this trick, he can sacrifice the blood of Di Shitian and Xiao Sanxiao when he returns to the world of "Fengyun", thereby resurrecting the Phoenix and Dragon Turtle.

Xiaobai followed behind them, looking forward, the mountains were connected, towering, majestic and precipitous, as if they were also giants, gazing at the world.

Southern Xinjiang has a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. Except for the barbaric alien races in the 100,000-mile-long mountains in the extreme south, the people living in the borderlands of southern Xinjiang for generations generally have five main tribes, namely: Miao, Tu, Zhuang, Li and Gaoshan clans.

In terms of population size, the Zhuang nationality has the largest number, accounting for almost 40% of the total population in southern Xinjiang; in terms of territory, the Miao nationality is the strongest and occupies the most vast and fertile land; in terms of folk customs, the population is the least The Gaoshan family is the most aggressive.

These five major tribes have lived in this southern frontier for generations. Each of the five ethnic groups has its own language, but in general, when communicating with each other, they use a common language similar to that of Central Earth, but there are some "characteristics" of local ethnic groups.

Over the years, there have been times when they communicate with each other and enjoy each other hand in hand, but there are also contradictions of intrigue and struggle with each other. Over the long years, the five major tribes have gradually formed a situation where each of the five tribes occupies one side, but the territories are intertwined and deep.

And where the territories of various tribes meet, there are often villages and towns where people of several tribes live together. At most, people from five tribes live in one place at the same time and live together with each other.

The Tianshui village that Xiaobai mentioned is located at the border of the Miao, Zhuang, Tu, and Gaoshan ethnic groups, and it is also a well-known and lively place on the border of southern Xinjiang.

When the sky was approaching dusk, Xing Tao, Suru and Xiao Bai finally walked into Tianshui Village.

Chapter 127 Seven Mile Cave

Tianshui village, although there is a word "zhai" in the name of this place, it is completely different from the mountain villages that are usually built in southern Xinjiang. Xiaobai Road explained that this place was originally built by the Tu people, and the original site is not here, but on a mountain not far to the west. Because of a clear spring on the top of the mountain, it is called Tianshui Village.

It was only later that the four ethnic groups bordered each other and the population increased, and this place became a place where the population lived together instead.

However, the number of business trips is gradually increasing, and living on the mountain, firstly, the place is small and inconvenient to live in, and secondly, it is quite difficult to come and go. Even though the people here in southern Xinjiang are generally healthier than the people in Zhongtu, no one is willing to do so. Climbing mountains every day to exercise.

As a result, some people gradually began to move to live at the foot of the mountain, and the number changed from small to large. After a long time, the people in the entire cottage gradually migrated down. With the prosperity of trade among the four clans, business trips became more frequent and the scale gradually expanded. As for the original cottage on the top of the hill, it gradually fell into disrepair, and only the name Tianshui Village has been preserved.

At this moment, the sky has just darkened, and there are still many pedestrians on the street, coming and going, the surroundings are noisy, and languages ​​​​of various ethnic groups are heard from time to time, which is completely different from the desertedness on the ancient road when we came just now.

Xing Tao, Suru and Xiao Bai all looked around. It was the first time Bai Ye and Suru saw the scenery of southern Xinjiang, so they were a little curious, while Xiao Bai came to experience life and freedom purely because he had been imprisoned for hundreds of years before.

As the three of them walked in, both Suru and Xiaobai had a smile on their lips. The coarse linen shirts couldn't cover up their beauty.

Don't say that in the southern border, the weather is severe, most of the women are ordinary-looking, with dark skin; even if they go to the middle land, the appearance of Suru and Xiaobai will attract countless people's attention.

Sure enough, after a while, more and more people looked over, and the eyes of those adults, naturally and quickly, moved to the two beautiful women who couldn't hide their beauty in coarse linen.

In an instant, it seemed that an invisible sound wave spread, and everyone looked sideways in amazement. Suru frowned, with a hint of displeasure on her face. She was very mischievous in the past, and if she encountered such a situation, she would definitely be a little excited and shy; but after marrying Xing Tao, she didn't like this kind of feeling very much. From this point of view, she is still quite traditional.

On the other hand, Xiao Bai didn't show any shyness at all, seeing her smiling all the time, she seemed to like this feeling quite a bit.

"Xiaobai, don't cause trouble!" Bai Ye glanced at Xiaobai and said.

With Xiaobai's appearance, if this goes on, it will definitely attract a lot of hooligans and the like. Although Xing Tao is not afraid, he is not in a good condition after all, if he attracts people from Fenxiang Valley because of such a trivial matter, it will be troublesome.

Xiao Bai snorted softly, glared at Xing Tao, then withdrew his previous gaze, and took Xing Tao and Suru to live in the nearby Tianshui Inn.

Xing Tao didn't want to get entangled with the people here, so early the next morning, the three of them immediately set off for Qilidong. Qilidong is not very far from Tianshui Village, and it takes half a day to arrive. It was a horse head mountain.

Looking at this high mountain shaped like a horse's head, Xiaobai smiled sweetly and said: "It is said that there is a deep cave on this mountain, and in the cave there is a dog god believed by the Miao people. There is a narrow mountain road at the foot of the mountain, which can only allow one person to walk. , which is Qilidong, where the Miao people live together.”

Hearing the word "Inugami", Xing Tao's eyes lit up again, he raised his head and looked at the mountain, and there was a trace of fire in his eyes. But soon he dissipated the fire. The heat, he is injured now, before the injury heals, it is better not to provoke the taboo of the black witch clan!

"Let's go!" Xiao Bai took a deep look at Xing Tao, and then led the way.

Walking into the narrow mountain road, it is winding, and there are sudden rocks protruding from the hard and hard stone walls on both sides. If you are not careful, you may hit your head on it.

And looking around the stone wall, there are still drops of water dripping in many places, and the most places have gathered into a small pool. On the top and bottom of the stone wall, in the dark place, there are a lot of green stone moss, which fills the air with a slightly moist and cool smell.

Xingtao, Suru, and Xiaobai twisted and turned, and managed to turn out of this mountain road that has been around for an unknown number of years, and saw the sun again.

The three of them looked forward, and they saw a bright and bright sight in front of them. Surrounded by mountains, there was a piece of fertile, flat and open land in front of them.

Houses with a strong Miao flavor rose up one after another, either built on the hillside, or closely connected. There is also a clear stream, originating from the deep mountains in front, meandering through this paradise-like land. Many Miao people's houses are built on both sides of the stream.

On the surface of the water, from a distance, the Miao people have built three bridges, but they are all different. One is a wooden bridge, which is the simplest. a bridge now.

As for the other two, both are stone bridges, but they are also more flavorful. A large stone, rough and solid, lay flat on the stream with a narrow water surface, and then built a bridge with thick stone slabs, which is a simple and practical bridge-building method here in southern Xinjiang.

But the last stone bridge is made of small stones, and it has no piers. It is an arch bridge, and every stone is closely connected, passing across the sky and flying over the stream. It's really strange to appear here.

The three of them continued to walk forward, and the crowd became more and more lively. Most of the people around were talking in the native language of Miao people, Xing Tao and Suru could only hear it in their ears, and they couldn't understand a word for a long time.

Xiaobai walked beside him, looking around, most of the Miao people he met around looked at them, because he saw their faces, he looked a few more times, but there was no particular hostility. After walking a few steps, she whispered to Xing Tao and Suru: "It seems that the southern border has become much more peaceful these years."

Suru was startled, puzzled, said: "What's wrong?"

Xiaobai said: "When I came here, ordinary Miao people looked at outsiders as if they were facing an enemy, and their eyes were even more vigilant. At that time, the five clans fought fiercely and cruelly, and fights between clans broke out from time to time. , if outsiders dare to come to Qilidong, if they don't have self-defense skills, they will probably be in danger. But judging from today's situation, the number of fights has probably decreased a lot in these years."

The two nodded slightly, and looking around, they were already walking among the Miao people at this moment. This avenue was on one side of the stream, with many houses closely connected by the Miao people on one side, and clear river water on the other side, and there were many green trees on the bank. Trees lined up.

At first glance, the Miao people's houses are mostly built of wood, and the style is completely different from that of the middle earth. They are boxy and unpretentious, and there are hideous animal bones hanging on the front door and the edge walls of the house. It is common, and it is probably a custom of the Miao people to show the bravery of the owner of the house.

There are Miao people selling stalls on both sides of the road, but most of the things they sell are wild animal fur and raw meat. After walking a few steps, you will see one or two stalls selling small jewelry, jade and other playthings.

Xiaobai smiled and said: "The furs here are all high-quality goods, and the price is very cheap. If you want to buy a few here, it will be very cost-effective."

"Forget it, we're not here to do business!" Xing Tao shook his head.
