Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Yang Dou went over and pulled Huai Xiaomeng back, saying, "Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng...this matter...this matter can't all be blamed on Xiaomu."

The expression on Huai Xiaomeng's face was like that of a beast that wanted to eat people. He roared and shouted, "Who else can I blame if not him?! If he hadn't brought that man from the mountains to our village, if he hadn't gone to ask some damn spirit, if he hadn't gone to collect some golden bird's nest... How could my father and mother... How could they... Chu Xiaomu, I will beat you to death!" After that, he punched and kicked Chu Xiaomu again, and then burst into tears...

Yang Dou was speechless.

When Huai Xiaomeng finally stopped punching, Chu Xiaomu struggled to get up from the ground. He saw his grandfather's lonely body in the ancestral temple. His grandfather's gray hair was disheveled, his eyes were closed, his lips were slightly open, and his clothes on his stomach and crotch were all covered with black blood...

He could no longer bear the grief in his heart and knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

After crying for a while, she gradually stopped crying and bowed ten times to her grandfather. She also bowed several times in front of the bodies of Bai Qizheng, Huai Fucao and others. She asked Yang Dou, "How long have the Snow Country people been gone?"

Yang Dou replied, "Two or three days."

Chu Xiaomu said nothing, got up and left the ancestral temple.

Yang Dou saw that he looked a little abnormal, so he hurriedly followed him out and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Mu looked up at the sky and said firmly, "I will kill them and avenge Grandpa, Uncle Huai, and the clan leader!"

"I'll go too!" Yang Dou said hatefully.

Chu Xiaomu said: "Okay, let's go back and prepare and then set off. The wind is blowing from the northeast on the sea now, and their big ships can't go fast against the wind. We can definitely catch up with them!" Yang Dou agreed.

Chu Xiaomu returned home, tied the long sword given by Bai Yixing to his back, took out the hemp cloth bag that he usually used, which had two or three patches on it, and randomly packed some dry food such as dry biscuits and fish.

Suddenly, he saw a bag of gold and silver coins sent by Qin Gang on the table, so he put them into the bag and thought, "After I kill those people from the Snow Country, I will throw all the things they sent back to them! The things of these evil people must be as evil as they are, so I can't keep them!"

Seeing the empty house, thinking of my grandfather's cold body lying on the ground, and knowing that I would never see his voice or smile again, I couldn't help crying again.

After crying for a while, he gradually calmed down and walked out of the door.

Chu Xiaomu and Yang Dou came to the seaside and found a sampan used for fishing. They were about to push the boat out to sea when they suddenly saw Huai Xiaomeng coming out from the valley, holding a long knife in his hand and striding towards them.

Yang Dou shouted, "Xiao Meng, what are you doing? Don't do anything rash." He was afraid that Huai Xiaomeng came to cause trouble for Chu Xiaomu.

Huai Xiaomeng just glared at the two of them hatefully, jumped onto the boat with all his strength, threw his long sword aside, and said nothing.

Chu Xiaomu asked: "Are you going to seek revenge on the Snow Country people too?"

Huai Xiaomeng gnashed his teeth and said, "If you don't kill them, I won't go back!"

Yang Dou also said loudly: "Okay! If we don't take revenge, we won't go back!"

The three men were full of blood and anger, and they sailed towards the northeast in the turbulent sea.

After the boat sailed, Chu Xiaomu asked about the causes and consequences of the accident.

Yang Dou and Huai Xiaomeng didn't know the details, but based on what people around them said, they were able to infer a little bit about the matter.

It turned out that a few days before the accident, Bai Yixing and Qin Gang had visited the home of clan leader Bai Qizhen. After praising Baihua Island and the old clan leader, they mentioned in a roundabout way the ancient tripod in the ancestral temple used to place spiritual instruments for ancestor worship, saying that the patterns and words on it were very strange and did not seem like something made by the islanders themselves.

Bai Qizheng did not doubt him and said that the ancient tripod was indeed not from Baihua Island.

Qin Gang asked him when and where he got it. The Snow Country people were very interested in these strange ancient things, so he wanted to ask carefully, hoping that the clan leader could answer his questions.

Bai Qizhen did not hide the truth and said that this ancient tripod was discovered by their ancestors from an unnamed deserted island west of Baihua Island and brought back to the Nanzhai of Baihua Island.

That was more than a hundred years ago, but Bai Qizheng wasn't sure exactly how many years it was.

That day, four islanders went fishing together. One of them was lucky enough to shoot a big fish. The four were naturally very excited, but unexpectedly, the shot did not kill the big fish. Instead, it aroused its anger and dragged the boat of several people to swim westward.

This fish was so big that it was equivalent to what one could get from three or five normal fishing trips. Naturally, the four people were unwilling to give up just like that. They thought that no matter how strong the fish was, it would eventually run out of strength.

After being dragged for several hundred miles, the big fish finally became exhausted and ran aground on a deserted island.

However, the four fishermen were also exhausted at this time, so they got off the boat and planned to go to the island to rest enough before dragging the fish back to the village.

After arriving on the island, I found that it was very small, only about seventy or eighty feet in circumference. It was covered with rugged rocks, so sharp that there was no place to step, and there was not even a single blade of grass to be seen.

What is strange is that there is a stone cave several meters long and wide in the middle of the wasteland. In the cave grow four dark old trees with sparse branches and leaves.

At the roots of the four old trees grew four clumps of fleshy grass that looked edible. The four men were tired and hungry, so they each ate one clump of grass.

Later, the people of Baihua Island called those four grasses "Little Immortal Grasses". Why? Because the oldest of the four people was already over fifty years old, and the youngest was already in his twenties, but all four of them became extremely long-lived, and lived for at least another hundred years, which was unprecedented... But this is a digression, so let's not talk about it for now.

While resting under the trees, the four people discovered a blue-black ancient tripod half-buried in the weeds between the old trees. This object was obviously not a natural thing, but who would put this ancient tripod on such a deserted island full of stones?

They found it strange, so they bravely dug out the ancient tripod and brought it back to Baihua Island.

This ancient tripod is engraved with dense patterns and some of them look like words. Unfortunately, no one on Baihua Island can decipher them. Moreover, since it is neither gold nor stone, no one knows what it is made of. No one knows who created it or for what purpose.

The residents of Baihua Island at that time had no clue at all, and they still have no clue now.

After the ancient tripod was brought back to Baihua Island, the islanders of the South Village invited some elders from the East Village to come together to discuss the matter of the ancient tripod. However, no one had any clue and no conclusion was reached.
