The years of reselling the haunted house

The fifth mother-in-law said: "You are right. Murlie, the leader of the Orange Village, and Kurtu, the leader of our Lanzhai Village, are the recognized heirs of the Great Leader in the tribe. It is said that after this mountain and river festival, the Great Leader will abdicate. So we The leader's status and prestige in the tribe are still higher than Murlie, and he is the most likely to inherit the position of the great leader. But I don't know what happened, recently, the great leader has paid special attention to Murlie, and many things have been arranged Murray will do it. Even so, that Murray is targeting the leader everywhere, because once something happens to our leader, Murlie is the only heir."

After listening to the fifth mother-in-law, I couldn't help feeling deeply.I originally thought that now is a new era and a new society, and these court scenes, which are a bit like intrigue, can only be seen in TV dramas.Unexpectedly, we went as far as Mobei to see such a similar scene in the Kele tribe deep in the mountains in the devil forest.

Although it sounds bloody, these things really happened in front of your eyes, which is extremely real.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yue asked, "Fifth Granny, what does this battle for heirs depend on?"

The fifth mother-in-law explained: "The Kele tribe is a fighting group. It has been brave and good at fighting since history. Although it is different from the original Kele tribe, it is still very brave. The previous successor struggle It's simple, it's a one-on-one duel, whoever can stand at the end will be the final winner and become the new leader of the Kele tribe. In terms of force, our leader is sure. But it's strange , just as the day to decide the heir is getting closer, and our leader suddenly contracted that strange disease, and a large area of ​​ulcers appeared on his legs, making it difficult to walk, let alone a one-on-one match?"

I smiled wryly and said, "If this follows the Gongdou drama, it must be the work of Murlie."

Fifth Granny was stunned: "Gongdouju? What is Gongdouju?"

"It's not important, you continue to talk." I waved my hand quickly, if I talk about it, there is something to say.

The fifth mother-in-law continued: "You are right. We all suspected that Murlie was behind the scenes, but no one has any evidence. If the fight for the heir is still by force, the leader will definitely lose. Later, thanks to For you, help the leader to heal the injury. But now the news that the leader brought back is that the conditions for determining the successor have changed."

"Changed? What has become?" we all asked.

The fifth mother-in-law said: "It will be based on this mountain and river sacrifice. This is what the leader fought for, otherwise, the heir will be taken away by Murlie."

"What's going on here? Mother-in-law, please tell us well..." I suddenly became interested in the situation here, and felt that if we stayed, we could still have a chance to do something.

We all looked at the fifth mother-in-law in front of us with expectant eyes.

We probably never expected that after we came here, we put all our hopes of getting clues on this old lady who is nearly 60 years old and has lived in isolation for [-] years.

This is the case, the fifth mother-in-law is the person who is most familiar with the tribal situation here, and the only one who can communicate with us in normal language.

Chapter 1474 Tribal Ambition

In addition, in the communication with the fifth mother-in-law, I found that although the old lady has been closed here for so many years, her thinking and language are not much different from outsiders.

In my opinion, it has been closed here for 60 years, and the people here should be like Tao Yuanming wrote in "Peach Blossom Spring", who don't know Han, regardless of Wei and Jin.But the fifth mother-in-law is not like this.

Afterwards, I asked the fifth mother-in-law about my questions, and she told me that life in the Kele tribe is not completely isolated from the outside world.They also need to understand the situation of the outside world, so every once in a while, about five years or so, they will bring back a group of people from outside, and these people will bring in some things that happened outside and some important situations.They were all translated and transmitted through the fifth mother-in-law.So the fifth mother-in-law is the person who knows the outside world best here.This is also the reason why her language ability has not degraded.It's just that these people brought back did not enter the real Kele tribe. The tribe will arrange for the fifth mother-in-law to meet and communicate with them at a specific place.

As for how these people came in and how they left later, the fifth mother-in-law didn't know.

The body of the fifth mother-in-law may be due to living in this mountain all year round, the air is fresh, and the ingredients are not polluted in any way. More importantly, the fifth mother-in-law has a super good mentality and has not become autistic because of isolation.So she looks very young and has a strong body, and she can even follow us up the mountain to this cave.

But now the big leader of this tribe is about to change, and the selection plan for the successor has changed. This involves Yunmei's father, Kurtu, who is the leader of Lanzhai.In addition, it also involves the leader of the Orange Village, Murlie who has been fighting against Kurtu.We want Kurtu to take us to the Mountain and River Festival, so we are naturally very concerned about this new selection plan.

Seeing our question, the fifth mother-in-law here introduced without reservation: "So I thought that the great mage was invited by the chief. I just found out that the great mage and those who came with him The outsiders were all found by Murlie. It is said that they are all people with extraordinary abilities. They have the ability to lead everyone into the mountain crevices during the Mountain and River Festival, find Hu Tianshen, and even break through a dusty year's secret."

"A secret that has been buried for hundreds of years? What is that?" I asked.

The fifth mother-in-law shook her head: "I just heard that this big secret is related to a treasure. It is said that those few outsiders are all possessing unique skills. After being introduced by Moore, the chieftain trusted him very much. I trust Murlie. That's why we sent people to search our village. Fortunately, the leader of Kurtu argued with the big leader, and the situation eased. He said that he also has the ability to lead the tribe to find Hu Tianshen , and break the big secret."

From the words of the fifth granny, I feel more and more that those outsiders should be Ma Di and the others.

With such a big fight, finding someone with unique skills from outside, it must be very difficult to find Hu Tianshen or break the so-called big secret.

From this, I asked: "The leader said he can break the big secret? Does he have this ability?"

The fifth mother-in-law shook her head: "I guess the chief is just a stopgap measure. Because the chief already knew about the fact that you went to the stockade and treated the chief's wounds, he was going to arrest you with all his strength. Later, in order to keep you, the chief said that you also Possessing unique skills, he could help him find Hu Tianshen and reveal the big secret. Later, the big leader might also consider that it would be difficult to convince the public if he did not give both of them a fair chance to compete, so he agreed. Let the two leaders, at the same time , Whichever side can find Hu Tianshen first, break through the big secret, and find the mysterious treasure, can become the leader of the Kele tribe."

Liang Yue said: "A small tribe, and it is a collective closed in the mountains, and there are not many interests to fight for. Is it necessary to fight for this big leader?"

The fifth mother-in-law shook her head: "Girl, you are wrong. Although I don't know it very well, I feel that this tribe is not a simple small tribe. The Kele tribe involves many outside interests. Being the big leader, There are definitely benefits to be gained, and the benefits are so great that it is worth fighting for."

I was taken aback when I heard it, and then asked: "Grandma, why do you say that?"

The fifth mother-in-law said: "Because every five years, when I meet people from outside, the tribe will ask me to ask some questions. These questions cover a wide range of topics, including history, geography, weather and stars, etc. .If a tribe that only lives here in a closed environment, would it need to know these things? And those people recruited by the tribe seem to be very difficult. They usually answer my questions fluently and understand a lot. I think They are definitely not ordinary people. So I think those people were recruited by the Kele tribe on purpose, and the Kele tribe has great ambitions."

I nodded and said to the fifth mother-in-law: "Grandma, if this is the case, please go to the leader Kurtu again and tell him that we can indeed help him. We can help him find Hu Tianshen during the Shanhe Festival and break through that It's a secret. But the other party has a relatively complete set of people, and we are short of people now, only the three of us can't do it, and he needs his help to rescue the person who was caught in the shabby clothes."

Fifth Granny hesitated and said, "That man is in the hands of Moore, I'm afraid he won't let him go."

I waved my hand: "At this moment and at that moment, you ask the chief to tell the chief that he secretly recruited us to help him during the Mountain and River Festival. Since Murlie can ask for help , and now he should be able to do it too. The conditions must be equal, otherwise it will be unfair. I think if the big leader is really persistent in finding Hu Tianshen and breaking the big secret, he will agree to him."

The fifth mother-in-law nodded: "Okay, then I'll do it now. In addition, you are now safe. The chief has agreed that you will follow Chief Kurtu, so there is no need to hide here anymore."

I slapped my head: "I forgot about it. In this case, there is one more thing to do after we go out."

Liang Yue asked, "Are you trying to find someone else?"

I nodded: "Our team was originally set up after Ma Di's setup. Now everyone has dispersed, and we are all responsible for our duties. Now there are several people missing. When the Shanhe Festival is held, no matter what happens It may happen, if there are not enough personnel, we will have shortcomings. This way, we will definitely not be able to beat the opponent."

Chapter 1475

Liang Yue said: "So, you are really ready to help this leader Kurtu."

I nodded: "Of course, helping him is also helping ourselves, isn't it? First of all, our personal safety can be guaranteed, and besides..." I lowered my voice and said, "That big secret is also the purpose of your gathering people here ?"

Liang Yue glared at me: "You are the only one who is smart, you will die if you don't say a word."

I chuckled: "I knew that your purpose of coming here is not simple."

Liang Yue said: "Okay, you are the smart one. Smart man, let me ask you, our people are all scattered, and you don't even know where they are. The third uncle was arrested, in the hands of Moore, the old man I don’t know where the money went. Hailang, you said he went back to find me, and now he doesn’t know where he is. There are also Lao Jia and Sanjin. Since we separated, there has been no news about these two people. I want to bring these people back together. Concentrate, can there be any good way?"

I waved my hand: "It counts as many as you can find. But I have always had a question. You said that the third uncle and Qian Lao were together, but it turned out that the third uncle was arrested, but Qian Lao was arrested. Until now There is no news, apparently he is still absconding..."

"How do you talk? We are not fugitives. What is absconding..." Liang Yue said angrily.

I smiled wryly and said, "Isn't it just that I couldn't find the right word for the time being? It's good not to call it this. What I mean is that Mr. Qian has almost no ability to escape and avoid pursuit. Why hasn't he moved yet?" Woolen cloth?"

Liang Yue shook her head: "Are you trying to say why Mr. Qian hasn't been arrested yet? Actually, I've been thinking about it too, but I haven't figured it out. How are you going to find them?"

I said: "The sound of the horn we heard, didn't it mean that someone broke into the main village? I thought it was Mr. Qian, but I didn't think it was right after thinking about it carefully. He doesn't have that ability. Now we are in the tribe Don't you already have a legal identity? I want to ask Yunmei to help me. I want to hang a banner outside the stockade, saying that we are all safe, so that they will automatically show up when they see it, and come to our side to gather. This method How are you doing?"

Liang Yue curled her lips: "What's your method? It's too stupid... What if they are not in this tribe and can't see your banner?"

I spread my hands: "Then there is no other way. I can only bet that they are also in this tribe, hiding in the dark just like us, but they can't get in touch with us. If they see the banner, they should be able to rest assured. dead."

Liang Yue nodded: "Okay, but it's not good to make a banner. It's better to set up a flag on a high place, so that it can attract more attention. Anyway, I still feel that this method won't work."

I waved my hand: "Okay, let's wait for the news from the leader."

At this time, the fifth mother-in-law had already left here to meet the leader Kurtu.We need him to get the third uncle from the opponent's hand first, so that other people can be safe and sound when they appear again.

So, led by Yunmei, we left the cave again and returned to Lanzhai.

Sure enough, with our identities, we have changed from fugitives to guests invited by the leader Kurtu, and appearing in this tribe has also become a legal identity, and we will no longer be interrogated.It's just that people in the tribe will look at us with strange eyes.

When we returned to Lanzhai, the fifth mother-in-law was waiting for us. She told us that the leader had gone to the main village again to ask for orders, and it should be about the third uncle who was arrested.If all goes well, he should be able to bring third uncle back directly.

I feel more and more that the Mountain and River Festival is a very important ceremony in the Kele tribe.Because this mountain and river festival is not just a simple sacrificial activity, but also involves more things.In this context, the big leader should not place all his hopes on Ma Su and his gang.At least having two groups of people competing for the same goal is beneficial to the big boss.

Although I haven't seen this big boss yet, based on the routines of many Gongdou dramas that I know, I have also figured out the psychology of this big boss.The content behind the Shanhe Festival, that is, Hu Tianshen and the big secret to be revealed, should also be extremely important to him.But now the leader, Murlie, has invited a group of people and has an absolute advantage.If no one stood up to contend with him, the development of the situation might deviate from his own, and the initiative would be tilted to Murray's side.His meritorious deeds overwhelm the Lord, this should not be what he wants to see.

But now Kurtu took the initiative to stand up and said that he could lead someone to crack the big secret, and as the big leader, there was no reason to refuse.This is definitely a constraint for Murray.

So I am very confident that my third uncle can return safely.

But after we walked out of the cave, the stupid way we thought of raising the flag to recruit people seemed to really not work.Because after we came out, we realized that it was already dark.And the fifth mother-in-law said that the time of the great sacrifice has been brought forward.It is said that there will be a big sacrifice at midnight today, and time is running out.We have run out of time to summon others.

As a result, we are eager to see through, and only hope that the third uncle can return safely. For us, it is undoubtedly an extra backbone.With me, Liang Yue and Zhong Xiaofeng, the strength of the three of us to compete with the opponent's complete team, we have almost no chance of winning.

Finally, there were footsteps outside the door, and we all walked to the door and looked outside.

The carriage stopped at the door, and the leader, Kurtu, was walking inside with a person.

I saw at a glance that the man was wearing a tattered Taoist robe with his head bowed, which was the third uncle's attire.

I was overjoyed, and Liang Yue and I hurried up to greet him, and the leader and third uncle also walked in.

"Uncle San, it's great that you're back." I went up and shouted to Uncle San.

"Li Yang, it's me."

The man walked into the room and raised his head. When I heard the voice, I felt something was wrong. Then I saw that the man was not Third Uncle, but Qian Qingfeng.

"Qian... old Qian? Why... why is it you?"

When I saw Qian Qingfeng, my jaw almost dropped in shock.This change was completely beyond my expectation. It was said that a person wearing Taoist robes was arrested, and we always thought it was the third uncle.He never thought it would be Qian Qingfeng.

"That's right, Mr. Qian, why are you dressed like this? Where's Taoist Priest Dongbin?" Liang Yue also asked.

At this time, the leader Kurtu led us into the room and sat down respectively.We were caught off guard that things had changed so much, and we couldn't wait to hear Qian Qingfeng's explanation.

Chapter 1476 Hu Tianshen

Qian Qingfeng sighed and said: "Don't mention it. Daoist Dongbin and I were going to slide down from the tree vines like Li Yang did. But Taoist Dongbin said that his Taoist robe has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and avoiding evil spirits." Afraid that something might happen to me when I went down, I switched with me. Daoist Dongbin went down first, and when I slid down the vine, Taoist Dongbin was gone. Unfortunately, I was caught by them That's it. That's it."

Liang Yue and I looked at each other, feeling helpless.Of course, Qian Lao was able to come back, and he seemed to be in good health, which is something to be thankful for, but the third uncle still didn't show up, and we can only rely on ourselves for the rest.

At this time, the leader Kurtu saw that something was wrong with our emotions, so he asked about the situation.Through the interpreter of the fifth mother-in-law, I told him that there was nothing wrong, and asked him about the situation in the main village.

Kurtu told us that the people Murlie invited are all ready now, and they will go deep into Yaoshun Mountain to find Hu Tianshen, and then break open the dusty place that has been buried for many years. secret.

Through the fifth mother-in-law, we had a more detailed conversation with Kurtu and learned more about the situation here.We asked him why in this tribe, he was so obsessed with finding the so-called Hu Tianshen, and what was the origin of this Hu Tianshen.Of course, we also want to know what that secret is about.

Kurtu is a straightforward person. We saved his life, so he trusted us very much. He also told us everything he knew.

He told us that when the Kele tribe first came to this area, it was still barren, and the mountains were full of dangers, and there were a lot of poisonous insects.The people of the Kele tribe are brave and good at fighting, even if there are wild beasts, they will not be afraid, but these poisonous insects make these people miserable, feeling like they are too powerful to use.

They rushed into the mountains rashly, and many people were bitten by insects, and their bodies were also poisoned, and the poison was contagious, and the entire tribe was about to be destroyed.

At this moment, a god appeared on the top of the mountain, holding a scepter and covering his body with golden light.He raised his scepter, and a god dog rushed out beside him. The god dog roared, and the overwhelming insects receded like a tide, leaving the best environment for the Kelie tribe.The place where those insects crawled was a pool of crimson water.Afterwards, Hu Tianshen floated away, and everyone saw a gap in the mountain, and the golden body of Tianshen entered the gap and disappeared.

Later, people found a talisman seal on the mountain wall where the god disappeared.There are twelve characters written on the talisman, which means the sky is overwhelmed with water, and must be Jiazi.Crimson tide, see Hu Tian.The people of the tribe believed that the god covered with golden light was Hu Tian mentioned in the talisman.Hu Tian saved the entire Kelie tribe, so the tribe people respected Na Hu Tian as Hu Tianshen.Hu Tianshen is even regarded as the lucky god who protects the tribe. In the tribe, Hu Tianshen is sacred and inviolable.

With the disappearance of Hu Tianshen, the pool of water miraculously returned to its original color from red the next day, and the crack in the mountain was miraculously healed.

Since then, the Kele tribe has settled down in this mountain.

After that, the tribe set the day when they met Hu Tianshen as a major day for the tribe. On that day, a large-scale sacrifice will be held to pray for Hu Tianshen to continue to bless the tribe.This kind of sacrifice was held once a year and continued until 60 years later. When the tribe was holding the sacrifice, they found that the pool of water turned red again, and at the same time, the mountain crevice opened again.There are golden lights shining from the crack in the mountain.

But unfortunately, Hu Tianshen did not appear again, and the golden light disappeared after two hours.When the people of the tribe walked into the mountain crevice, they found that there was nothing unusual inside.

So the people in the tribe thought it was because the sacrifices used in the sacrifice did not satisfy Hu Tianshen, so Hu Tianshen did not show up, and the various treasures he had prepared for the tribe did not show up.

Only then did the people of the tribe really understand the meaning of those twelve characters.So after that, every 60 years, a large-scale sacrifice was held, named Shanhe Daji, in order to ask Hu Tianshen to show up and give treasures to the tribe.

I nodded: "So, the Mountain and River Festival, Hu Tianshen appeared, and the secret is the treasure hidden in the mountain?"

To us, Kurtu didn't hide too much, and told us bluntly that the secret might be related to a treasure.It's just that before the real treasure is found, these are just guesses.In fact, after that incident, people in the tribe have been looking for the hiding place of those treasures in that Yaoshun mountain, but they have found nothing.Only every 60 years, when the Mountain and River Festival starts, the cracks in the mountain will crack, and people can finally enter the real mountain.Only when Hu Tianshen can show up, can the secret be revealed.

As for whether there are secrets hidden there, as time goes by, the legends become more and more bizarre. Although the people in the tribe still firmly believe that there are secrets and treasures in the mountain, they have not been revealed, so As for the facts, no one can tell accurately or clearly.

I questioned again: "But whether these are legends or facts, are you still not sure?"

Kurtu said that these are all seen from some murals handed down from the Kele tribe.The Kele tribe has a custom to record some major events in history in the form of murals.Therefore, painters have a certain status in the Kele tribe.

Hearing this, I seemed to understand why Zhao Qing and others were accepted by the Kele tribe at that time, it was entirely because Zhao Qing had excellent painting skills.

After we finished speaking, Kurtu and us started talking again, and of course we had to rely on the fifth mother-in-law to translate.

Kurtu asked us: "You said that you can help me find Hu Tianshen and break that secret. Is that true?"

I nodded: "Of course it's true. Although we still have a few companions who haven't been in touch yet, I'm afraid it's too late. The few of us can only follow you to see the situation first."

Kurtu nodded and said: "I have already made an agreement with the chief. When the great sacrifice begins and the mountain cracks, Murlie and I will lead some people into Mount Yaoshun. Whoever can finally find the treasure will be the final winner." By."

I thought to myself, it seems that no matter who you are, you can't escape the word fame and fortune.

Chapter 1477 Holy Wolf

I am deeply moved that although this so-called Kele tribe seems to live in seclusion in the mountains and be indifferent to fame and fortune, in the end they still want to go to war for the invisible treasure.

Liang Yue asked, "When is the final time for the Mountain and River Festival?"

Kurtu said: "As soon as the time of the child comes, the great festival begins. Before the great festival begins, no one is allowed to enter the scene of the great festival. When the time comes, someone in the tribe will announce the time with a horn. There is still a period of time before the start of the great festival. Let's have something to eat first, and when the time comes, I will bring fifty warriors with you to participate in the great sacrifice and enter Mount Yaoshun."

With that said, someone brought us boiled meat again.

After contacting Kurtu, we feel that he is not bad, not as barbaric as we imagined, but a reasonable person.So Liang Yue took this opportunity to ask Kurtu: "Boss, has the tribe captured people from the surrounding towns recently? To put it bluntly, did they snatch girls from the town?"

I know that Liang Yue has always wanted to find out the whereabouts of those girls, because Sanjin's uncle Huo Tiancheng has been leading people to search for their folks.

Kurtu shook his head: "We didn't rob the girls, they came here on their own initiative."

Liang Yue was taken aback: "Come here on your own initiative? How is it possible?"

Kurtu said: "It's true, on the eve of the Great Mountain and River Festival, Hu Tianshen will make a divine sound, and those who are destined to listen will follow the sound."

Liang Yue thought for a while and said, "Huo Tiancheng said that those girls walked out of the town by themselves. But I don't really believe there is any kind of divine voice. There must be something strange here... Then where are those girls now?"

Kurtu said: "They are used for sacrifices, and they are all in the main village. It turned out that I was in charge of this matter, and this time it was handed over to Murlie."
