Refine Gu to become immortal from one person

Chapter 656 The Call From Afar (Two in One)

Among the [-] mountains in southern Xinjiang, there are [-] alien races.

This is the cognition of the Central Plains people, or in other words, it is the information passed on by the disciples of Fenxiang Valley.

But in fact, this statement is not very accurate.

Because among these alien races, there are murlocs, mermaids, and other races that are completely different from humans in terms of body structure and speech customs, and they are almost incommunicable; human race.

And the five tribes of Miao, Tu, Zhuang, Li, and Gaoshan who lived in the southern border and did not go deep into the Shiwan Dashan.

"I'm afraid they will be our main source of accepting disciples in the future."

Chi Yao took Suzaku and Baihu, and the three of them changed into local costumes, and strolled into Tianshui Village.

This place is the junction of the four tribes of Miao, Zhuang, Tu and Gaoshan, and it is also a well-known and lively place on the border of the southern border.

The three of them came here mainly to inspect the local folk customs. After all, the admission conditions of the Devil's Cult are relatively flexible, and they pay attention to the location and suitability of the people. They can customize the most effective publicity measures specifically for the enrollment target.

As for Qinglong and Xuanwu, the two of them were sent to the depths of the Shiwan Dashan, on the one hand to explore the situation of the alien branch, and on the other hand, to find an area suitable for use as the headquarters.

Why are the two of them going?
Qinglong is sharp, Xuanwu is cautious, at least nothing will go wrong from the point of view of character.

Of course, apart from the slightly impatient Baihu, Suzaku is also calm enough to take on this role.

But in that case, wouldn't Chi Yao want to accompany the bastard Baihu all the way?

Besides, it was too obvious to send three to keep one, and it might make Bai Hu feel a little bit resentful, so he also kept Suzaku, a great beauty, by the way.Even though the other party usually covered his face with a black veil, his figure alone was enough to seduce his eyes.

Tianshui Village is not a cottage, but built on a spacious flat land, with a road leading out of the village from the southeast to the north.At this moment, the sky is still bright, pedestrians are coming and going on the street, the surroundings are noisy, and languages ​​of various ethnic groups can be heard from time to time, which is completely different from the desertedness on the ancient road when we came.

Although the three of Chi Yao had changed into local special costumes, they didn't know whether it was because of his handsome face or Baihu's burly figure that was different from ordinary people.All in all, the place where the three of them passed quickly attracted the attention of passers-by on the street, and from time to time, some hot-dressed girls looked over with a smile.

They were quite open, occasionally responding with a smile, and even finally appointed a tall and dexterous girl like a deer from the crowd to be their guide.

Led by the girl, the three walked into an inn with the same name as the village.

This girl is not ordinary either. She seems to be a combination of a Central Plains merchant and a local. She is proficient in multi-ethnic dialects and has traveled to many places with the caravan. She is a little know-it-all in the southern border.

"Are you from Zhongyuan, right? My Zhongyuan name is Geng Luer, but here, you can also call me Daguoer. This is the name my mother gave me, which means yellow deer in the mountains."

The little girl seemed to be very talkative, and she was full of energy when she spoke. She really looked like a carefree deer wandering in the mountains and forests.

"How did you know that we are from the Central Plains?"

Chi Yao asked curiously, "Obviously we have all changed our clothes."

"Chuck~"

Geng Lu'er smiled and pointed at Suzaku, "Although the clothes have changed, this elder sister is still wearing a black gauze. The women here have never had such a habit."

Suzaku's expression moved slightly, as if she was a little uncomfortable because something went wrong with her, but she used to serve as a devil's saint who served the Holy Mother of Hades, and this veil was also very particular, and it should not be taken off easily.

Seeing this, Chi Yao comforted her, and then quickly changed the subject: "You have very good eyesight, so you must be familiar with the major tribes here?"

"Of course, don't look at my young age, but I have already traveled all the five caves in southern Xinjiang with my father!"

The little girl stood up straight, with an expression that I am very powerful.

"Then can you tell us?"

Chi Yao suppressed a smile and said warmly, "We also came from the Central Plains to do business, and we want to know the specific situation of these five tribes first."

"It's easy!"

The little girl's eyes brightened, "Here, the Zhuang tribe has the most people and the largest territory. Dad said that they have developed the best, and many people have already started to learn to do business. Now, the owner of this inn is Strong people. But the Miao people are the most powerful, because they are very fierce, so although the number is a little smaller, they are the most prestigious."

Speaking of this, she suddenly stretched her neck forward, and lowered her voice, "It is said that they defeated the Li people a hundred years ago, and even robbed them of their clan treasures, and they pressed on the biggest dog god in Qilidong. Under the statue. So the two families are feuds!"

Seeing the surprised expression on Chi Yao's face, the little girl smiled and was very proud, so she continued: "The remaining two tribes have nothing to say. The native tribes have always been isolated and have always chosen to keep a distance from the other four tribes. Willing to intervene in disputes; the mountain tribes have few people and are weak, at most they can only protect themselves, they have no power to fight for anything, and they don’t have much sense of existence.”

In a few words, this little girl has already figured out the general relationship between the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang.

Although there are reasons for being in business all the year round and having accumulated a lot of money, it is no exaggeration to praise him for being smart for such a performance at such an age.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you know anything about the [-] mountains in the depths?"

He originally wanted to get some more information for free, but he didn't expect that as soon as he said this, the little girl's face turned pale, and her big eyes became wet all of a sudden, like a frightened deer, fragile and vigilant.

"Then, it's full of monsters..."

After a while, she managed to squeeze out such a sentence.

Seeing this, Chi Yao didn't ask anymore, but motioned for Suzaku to comfort her, and then began to discuss with the two through sound transmission.

"What do you think?"

Suzaku patted Geng Lu'er's back, and replied: "The Zhuang tribe might be a good partner. According to Xiao Lu'er, they are most influenced by the customs of the Central Plains. Farming and trading are all very helpful to us. beneficial."

"I think the Li tribe is better!"

Bai Hu also put forward his own opinion, "They were defeated by the Miao people, and they were even robbed of the town's treasure. This humiliation and hatred will become the biggest motivation in their hearts. We just need to provide them with a chance for revenge. They'll do their best to grab it."

Compared with Suzaku's peaceful development path, his thinking is obviously more in line with the consistent style of the Devil's Cult.

However, Chi Yao still needs to make a final decision on this matter.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, Chi Yao smiled softly: "How can there be only one tribe? Of course we want all of them! In this way, the white tiger will go to the Li people's tribe, and the red bird will go to the Zhuang people's tribe. First, get some more detailed information and come back. .”

"How about you, teacher?"

"I'll go to Qilidong to have a look."

……

……

Qilidong is the largest settlement of the Miao tribe.

Compared with Tianshui village, its lively level is not much better, but there are few other tribesmen.

Although from a formal point of view, it is a good choice for the Demon Cult to win over the Li tribe against the Miao tribe, after all, the effect of giving charcoal in the snow is far stronger than icing on the cake.

But this is the Miao tribe after all, thinking of the Black Miao tribe he was born in, even though it is not the same world, Chi Yao still has a special feeling for this place.

If they can directly reach a cooperative relationship with them, the Li people's tribe and so on can stand aside.

The location of Qilidong is surrounded by mountains, which is a bit like a small basin.

In the most conspicuous position in the depths of this basin, there stands a stone altar built on the mountainside, which is much higher than ordinary Miao houses.

The altar has a lofty status among the tribes in southern Xinjiang. In the eyes of most people, the words spoken by the great wizard in the altar are actually no different from the words spoken by the gods.The status of the great wizard is also higher than that of the patriarch, and all major matters involving the entire tribe need to be consulted with the great wizard before making a decision.

The five major tribes in southern Xinjiang basically follow this pattern.

Therefore, whether the Miao tribe can cooperate with the Demon Cult depends on their great wizard.

This time Chi Yao didn't walk into Qilidong ostentatiously, but used his body skills to pass through the heavy protection of the Miao soldiers, and directly rushed to the altar halfway up the mountain.

The altars of the Miao people are all made of huge stones, majestic and tall with a hint of roughness and simplicity.

Passing through the flat stone platform paved with large rectangular stone strips in front of the altar, two tall and huge stone pillars came into view, which were about ten feet high at a glance.

Half of the altar behind the stone pillar was built with huge stones, and the other half was directly excavated from the mountain and dug out on the hard stone wall.

Even though it is the night when the stars and the moon hang high, there are two night guards standing behind the stone pillars, and there are patrol teams on the stone platform back and forth, full of vigilance.

But these people naturally couldn't stop Chi Yao's footsteps, he didn't even need to do anything, he just made Wan Poison Pearl release some anesthetic gas, and passed through their patrolling area.

Pushing the door open and entering, without the light of the stars and the moon, the surroundings became even darker, and even the temperature seemed to drop a little.

However, this did not affect Chi Yao's actions. He activated the Heavenly Gu Qi Watching Technique, directly tracked the position of the person with the deepest aura here, and then followed the direction through the corridor and the hall to the deepest part of the altar. Looks like the biggest stone house door.

On the stone gate, decorations made of beast bones hang, and bright red blood is smeared everywhere on the surrounding stone walls, which seems to symbolize the piety of offering sacrifices to ancestors.

Looking from the dark, it looks a little hideous.

However, perhaps because he was used to those more visually challenging scenes when refining Gu, Chi Yao didn't have any special feelings about it. He pushed the door and entered, and saw that the huge stone room was empty, only the innermost one was burning with flames. It is particularly eye-catching in the dark.

Above the flames, there is a strange stone statue also carved from a whole block of stone. Its head is dog-shaped, but its body is full of horns, each foot has sharp claws, and there are two pairs of wings growing on its back. It is really a very strange statue. Strange statue.

But looking at its location, the name is ready to be revealed. This is the god believed by the Miao tribe-the dog god.

It is said that the Li people believe in the bear god, but I don't know what kind of weird shape it is.

Putting away the weird thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind, he looked intently, and there was only one figure in the huge stone room in front of him, looking very old and stooped from the back, sitting silently in front of the flames, as if he was meditating or sleeping.

The flames were blazing, illuminating the figure of the person in front of the flames, flickering on and off.

Just when Chi Yao was considering whether to speak first, an old voice sounded from the front: "You are here."

This made Chi Yao slightly startled, why, could it be that you can count on my coming?
He narrowed his eyes slightly, closed the stone door behind him, took a few steps forward, sat down cross-legged opposite the old man, and then replied: "I'm here."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The old man opened his eyes, looked at Chi Yao carefully, and sighed.

"You know who I am?"

Chi Yao was really curious this time, because he could see a trace of piety in the other's eyes.

What's the matter, you are all Chiyou Miao descendants, have you seen my identity as the descendant of the next generation?
That's not right, the body I'm using now has nothing to do with Chi You's bloodline, even if you have detection technology!
Hearing this question, the old man shook his head first, then nodded, and before Chi Yao could ask, he took the initiative to explain: "The old man doesn't know the identity of your lord, but he knows that you are here to save our Miao tribe. .”

"Sigh~"

This is very well said, and it is true to a certain extent.

If Chi Yao didn't come, then according to Baihu's plan, sooner or later the Li tribe with the help of the Demon Cult would send troops to seek revenge from the Miao tribe.They will definitely not be able to resist at that time, the casualties are minor, and they may be wiped out directly.

However, this is becoming more and more like a magic stick.

"Where did you get the news?" Chi Yao asked in a deep voice.

It would be a bit scary if there were people in this world who could predict their own actions.

"This is the will of the dog god."

The old man kowtowed devoutly to the huge stone statue in front of the flame, and then picked up a wooden staff from his side.

The wooden staff was dark in color, and its length was even higher than the Great Wizard sitting cross-legged. The top of the wooden staff was inlaid with a strange stone that was neither gold nor jade. .

Then, the great wizard handed the thing directly to Chi Yao: "The dog god wants to see you."

He said so.

"What do you mean?"

Chi Yao frowned, is there really a god behind this tribe?
"Follow Gu Yu's guidance, Inugami wants to see you."

The great wizard ignored Chi Yao's question, but repeated what he had just said.

"Tsk!"

After Chi Yao took the stick, he actually felt a breath calling from a distance, and it seemed vaguely familiar.

He stood up, hesitated, turned and left.

"I want to see what is playing tricks!"
