Mystery Leaks

Chapter 382 Paperman Village Youlan Village

Half an hour later, when the east was pale, we left the small mountain village and trekked towards Tiger Leaping Rock.Thanks to Gu Li as a guide, otherwise we might not even be able to find the direction, let alone the way.

Gu Li is a very competent guide. He would hand us water for a while, and give us medicine against poisonous ants and snakes. Huang Mao's 1 yuan in cash was worth it.

The mountains are deep, the jungle is vast, there are no people, but there are enough things to eat people.

There are leeches, poisonous bees, poisonous snakes, and all kinds of strange insects. Even as practitioners, we almost fall into the trap.

Hu Lai has the most experience in the jungle, strolling in the garden, not to mention poisonous insects, not even dew, and the yellow hair almost wets the trouser legs.

Cao Nan and I were in the most embarrassing situation, half of our body was wet with dew within a short distance. Cao Nan was scorched by poisonous insects, and the back of his hand was swollen like a bun. I was even more dangerous. I was almost bitten in the nose by a poisonous snake. We have more care, I am afraid it will be even more embarrassing.

Not long after, the sun rose high, indicating that today is a sunny day.

I am very concerned about Coulee. When the sun sets, it casts its shadow on the ground, which is almost the same as ours, only a little lighter.

After all the busy work, his clothes were also soaked, and when he smelled it carefully, he smelled of sweat, and he couldn't find anything that could be hooked to the paper doll.

I muttered in my heart, what the hell is going on with this paper man?

If a ghost possessed the paper figurine, it must be a femininity, and would be afraid of living people and the sun, but Gu Li showed no signs of this.There is nothing abnormal about drinking water, eating dry food, and urinating, but the hands will bleed when they are scratched by thorns.

"Brother Meng, is there something on me?" Gu Li seemed to be suspicious because of my gaze, he asked me a little strangely, his dark and thin face was full of doubts.

"Ah, that... no, I'm just curious about you Miao people." My heart skipped a beat and I panicked.

"Hey, aren't they all the same? I'm a mature Miao, and my ancestors are Miao-Han hybrids. I can't be considered an authentic Miao people." Gu Li smiled and waved his hands, revealing two rows of neat and white teeth.

"What does the authentic Miao look like?" I was at a loss for words.

"The authentic Miao people are very strong, they can walk like flying in the jungle with bare feet, and they are tall, so they are not like me." Gu Li rubbed the sweat on his forehead and smiled a little embarrassedly.

I nodded, Ox-nosed Naguzha is the seedling, and it is the most thunderous Gu seedling among the seedlings. It looks thin and thin, but in fact, it is covered with sinew and flesh, its skin is bronze-colored, its face is a little more three-dimensional, and its nose is bigger , with a wider mouth.

"Are you sleepy at night? We had a lot of noise yesterday." I tried to test his secret.

Hu Lai naturally knew what I wanted to do, Zhang Zhang Zhang wanted to say, in the end he didn't say anything, he acquiesced.

Gu Li nodded: "That's right, I sleep very badly at night, especially in the second half of the night, no matter what I'm doing, I can fall asleep, even if it's walking or cycling."

After speaking, he lifted his hair, pointed to a scar on his forehead and said, "Look at this scar, it's a lesson from falling asleep while riding a bicycle at night."

"Why is this happening?" I pressed on.

"I don't know either." Gu Li shook his head and said, "It's not just me, everyone in the village is like this. My grandma told me that in the middle of the night, when the ancestors dreamed, the descendants must fall asleep, otherwise the ancestors would not be able to sleep." Happy."

"The whole village?"

My heart skipped a beat, God, that means that not only Gu Li is a paper man in that small mountain village, but all the villagers are.

Paper Doll Village! !

Not only me, but Hu Lai and Huang Mao were also shocked. Cao Nan even looked like he had seen a ghost. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

"Then if your ancestors were unhappy, how would they punish you?" Hu Lai immediately followed Gu Li's words and dug down.

Gu Li said seriously: "The ancestors will take away all the unworthy descendants."

I gasped, this sentence was exactly what Huangmao had guessed—everyone who found out the truth in Paper Doll Village would disappear.

Huang Mao said before that Gu Li was afraid that he didn't know that he was a paper man, so he couldn't wake him up, otherwise there would be trouble.

In a word!
Because all the paper people who woke up were taken away by their "ancestors".

Gu Li said as he walked, the four of us exchanged glances behind us, we were all shocked.

I don't understand what's going on, but what's going on behind the scenes is absolutely terrifying, a whole village of paper figurines, it's unbelievable.

Afterwards, we asked Gu Li a few more questions, but we did not get any other valuable clues, and Gu Li didn't think there was anything wrong with "ancestors taking away unworthy descendants".They also "teach" us that our ancestors are living beings, and our descendants should respect them; otherwise, if our ancestors get angry, our descendants will suffer bad luck.

Helpless, we have no choice but to give up. The secret behind the paper figurine is very deep, just dig it out. If it is too deep, I am afraid it will cause trouble.

……

At noon, in the midst of the scorching sun, I suddenly noticed something running behind me. It was obviously an ungulate, and there were slowly and disorderly footsteps behind me...

It's people!

And it's a group of people!

"Squat down, someone is coming!" I said hastily.

Hu Lai Huangmao squatted down immediately, and Cao Nan pulled Gu Li, who was a little dazed, to squat down.

"Is there a Miao Village near here?" Hu Lai asked Gu Li.

Gu Li nodded quickly, and said: "This is the site of the Seventh Cave Youlan Miao Village, which is regarded as the periphery. Our way to Tiger Leaping Rock will pass through their hunting grounds."

"How many people are there in the entire Miao Village?"

I asked, and at this time the sound gradually became louder. A wild boar limped and rolled down from a hill, followed by a large group of strong Miao people. Miao Dao was walking like flying in the jungle, chasing the injured wild boar.

"I'm not very clear, but I heard that there are more than 200 people, and they look about sixty or seventy." Gu Li whispered.

"Is there a Gu Master?" I asked again.

Gu Li nodded: "Yes, there are Gu masters in every cave of the Thirteenth Cave Miao Village, and this Youlan Miao Village is considered to be of medium strength, so there are also Gu Masters."

"Stop talking, here we come!" Huang Mao warned.

We hurriedly leaned down and hid. Miao people don't like strangers entering their hunting grounds, especially these hormone-explosive hunters are young and strong, and they are fierce and brave. Once they find a target that can be challenged, they will become quite dangerous.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened to us.

The wild boar passed in front of us obliquely, but for some reason, it rushed straight towards us.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Followed by a group of murderous Hmong strong.

My eyelids twitched, and thousands of alpacas rushed past in my heart, Nima, this dead wild boar is not going anywhere, but it came to us, why not go to the sky?

"Flash!"

Huang Mao gritted his teeth and said.

We immediately ran away from the spot to avoid the rushing wild boars, otherwise we should be hunted by these Miao people as prey.

But when we moved, it naturally attracted the attention of the Miao people. I don't know what they were shouting, but they abandoned the wild boar, turned around and surrounded us at a very fast speed.

In a few strokes, we were surrounded by groups.

The Miao people pointed at us with poisonous spears and arrows, compressing us in the center.

Gu Li hurriedly raised his hand, explained something in Miao language we couldn't understand, and said to us: "Don't mess around, they are just asking us what we are doing, and they have no intention of killing."

After a pause, a big man came out from among the Miao people. He was wearing a tiger skin and had a nose ring on his nose. He was about 1.9 meters tall and stared at us condescendingly. Spears, but two daggers,

The big man glanced at us, then said something to Gu Li with a heavy body.

Gu Li nodded hastily, and then said to us: "This is Tiehu, the patriarch of Youlan Miao Village, show your weakness and say hello to him."

The four of us immediately performed a Miao salute to the big man. This is what Lu Guli taught us. He said that we must not use force when we meet Miao people. Showing weakness respectfully is the best way to resolve their hostility.

The most powerful people in the Miao Village are often not the patriarchs, but wizards. There are male and female wizards, and most of them are Gu masters. There are gods and people among them, and they are very powerful.

There is no doubt that the man of God that Guli mentioned is a practitioner like Naguzha.

That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that once the Thirteen Cave Miao Village is attacked by foreign enemies, they will immediately unite with each other, and there will be big troubles at that time.

We may be able to deal with a Miao village conflict, but if the Miao village in Shisandong is mobilized collectively, we will not be able to handle it.

Sure enough, after we performed the Miao ceremony, the Miao people's strong spears, bows and arrows were lowered a little, and the hostility was relieved a little.

Afterwards, the big man talked to Gu Li for a few more words. Gu Li suddenly turned bitter, and his tone quickened, as if he was pleading.

"Roar!"

The big man became impatient after saying a few words, let out a low growl, and stared angrily.

In an instant, the bow, arrow and spear that had just been put down were lifted up again, aiming at the vital points of our whole body, and the sound of the bowstring tightening made a "cha-cha".

The situation was full of twists and turns, and the changes were too fast. Before I could let go of my hanging heart, I jumped up again.The murderous intent lingering on the bow, arrow and spear made my hair stand on end. This situation is not a joke, it is obviously on the verge of a misfire, so I hurriedly asked: "What's the situation?"

Gu Li cried and said: "They said that the great witch of Youlan Miao Village predicted three days ago that there would be four outsiders from afar who would appear here, and specially asked them to hunt here every day, and bring them back when they met. ;If you can't bring it back, then..." He trembled for a moment, not daring to say the last word, it was obviously a word for "kill".

I suddenly felt like a ghost in daylight.

Wizard prophecy?

Really, is there such a god?
Could it be this iron tiger talking nonsense and making up excuses?
Come to think of it, he didn't seem to need to make up excuses.

Hu Lai and Huang Mao were also in doubt, they had heard of such a prophecy, but had never seen it before. If Tie Hu's words were true, then this great witch of Youlan Miao Village is too powerful.

It can be counted that we will pass here, and there are four people.

Then, the big man said another sentence.

Gu Li immediately said: "He asked if we should go or not?"

The corner of Huang Mao's mouth twitched, and said, "Do you think we still have a choice?"

I was a little upset, but there was nothing I could do. Tiger Leaping Rock was in the core hinterland of Thirteen Caves. If I offended the Miao Village, I would be in big trouble.

"Go, and meet this great Wugu, I've heard his name before." Hu Lai said, "Thirteen Cave Miao Village is surrounded by tiger jumping cliffs. If anyone in this world knows tiger jumping cliff best, The Miao Village recognizes the second, no one dares to recognize the first, and the people in the Miao Village, the wizard is the first; this is an opportunity."

I thought about it and nodded: "Okay, then go and promise him."

If the Miao Village just invites us to be guests, then everything is easy to talk about. If they are hostile to us, then we are also bachelors. In one word, do it!

Because there is no other choice.
