Tomb Raider: Summon Uncle Nine at the Beginning, Wrath of Xiangxi

Everyone followed Chen Yulou and saw a wood carving at the intersection when they first entered the Miao village.

The wood carving looked like a phoenix, standing tall with its head held high and flapping its wings as if ready to fly.

As soon as everyone entered the village, the busy Miao people stopped what they were doing and looked at everyone.

Seeing that everyone wanted to go deeper into the village, they quickly gathered around.

A Miao man said, "Hey, Nong Luo Hanong? (Hey, what do you do?)"

Other Miao people also said with unhappy faces, "Mu, Xiao Mu! (Go, go quickly.)"

Everyone didn't understand what the Miao people said, and they were all confused. Chen Yulou understood a little bit. He smiled and held a folding fan, clasped his fists, and said, "Hey, brothers, don't get me wrong. We are just merchants who pick up goods from the mountains. Today, we passed by your precious place and just wanted to exchange some mountain goods with you."

Among the Miao people, a Miao boy of thirteen or fourteen years old seemed to understand what Chen Yulou said. He squeezed out of the crowd and explained to the Miao people around him. Only then did everyone's faces ease.

Seeing this, Chen Yulou waved behind him, and Hua Maguai, who was carrying a load, immediately stepped forward, put down the load, and lifted the linen cover on the frame to reveal the goods inside.

The Miao people around them were relieved when they saw these goods.

Lin Muye stood beside Chen Yulou. He knew that this child was Rong Bao Yixiao, the guide of Chen Yulou and others in the original book, so he said, "Little brother, can you speak Mandarin?"

Sure enough, the boy nodded.

Chen Muye said again, "What's your name, little brother? I think your village doesn't seem to welcome outsiders very much?"

Rong Bao Yixiao nodded and said in Mandarin, "My name is Rong Bao Yixiao. Not long ago, our village encountered several bandits and thieves, so we are more exclusive to outsiders."

Lin Muye continued, "We are just peddlers, coming to exchange for some mountain products. How about this? We have a lot of salt and some treasures here. We will use these to exchange for some mountain products with you. What do you think?"

After saying these words, Lin Muye sat down on a step beside the road and waved to Rong Bao Yixiao.

Chen Yulou was a little curious at this time. Although this boy knew Mandarin, there was no need to waste time on him, right? But out of respect for Lin Muye, he followed and sat next to Lin Muye, choosing to wait and see what would happen.

When Rong Baoyixiao heard Lin Muye say this, and saw that Lin Muye and Chen Yulou had kind faces, he walked over and sat down, and asked curiously: "I know salt, but what is the treasure?"

Lin Muye looked at Chen Yulou, who was very smart. When he saw Lin Muye looking at him, he immediately understood what Lin Muye meant, so he took out the bronze plate from his body.

He handed the bronze medal to Rong Baoyixiao, showed him both sides, and said, "This is a treasure of mine. It depends on whether you have anything to exchange for it."

Rong Baoyixiao originally looked at Chen Yulou with expectation, but when he saw the bronze medal he took out, he instantly looked disgusted and said disdainfully, "What kind of treasure is this? Many people in our village have it."

When Chen Yulou heard it, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he continued to speak, "Is it also this kind of pattern?"

Rong Baoyixiao nodded, "It's almost like this."

Chen Yulou looked at Lin Muye, and Lin Muye remained silent.

But Chen Yulou knew that the clue was here!

So he continued to ask, "Where did you get it?"

Rong Baoyixiao said, "It's on Pingshan Mountain. People in our village go into the mountains to collect herbs, and sometimes they can pick up such bronze medals."

Just then, Luo Laowai and Hong Girl saw the two leaders talking to a boy, and they came over out of curiosity. When they got close, they happened to hear Rong Baoyixiao's words.

Luo Laowai stepped forward quickly, patted Rong Baoyixiao's head with his hand, and asked anxiously: "Where is Pingshan?"

Rong Baoyixiao felt pain and turned his head to see Luo Laowai's fierce face, especially the scar on his face was even more terrifying, and hurriedly said: "Very far, very far, very far."

Lin Muye saw this and said lightly: "Lao Luo?"

When Luo Laowai heard Lin Muye's words, he was shocked and immediately put on a smile and stopped talking. However, this smile was even more terrifying in Rong Baoyixiao's eyes.

Chen Yulou glanced at Hong Girl at this time and winked at her. Hong Girl understood and immediately stepped forward to hug Rong Baoyixiao's shoulders and said with a smile: "Little brother, do you think my sister looks like a bad person?"

Rong Baoyixiao turned his head and shook his head.

Miss Hong then said, "Then tell me about this Bottle Mountain."

Rong Baoyixiao thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "The Bottle Mountain looks like a half-upside-down bottle. It is a wonder that can't be seen anywhere except in Laoxiongling. I heard from the old people in the village that there is a tomb of a general from the Yuan Dynasty in the Bottle Mountain, and in the tomb there is aCorpse King!"

Hearing this, Chen Yulou said with surprise: "It sounds like this Bottle Mountain is quite interesting. It would be a pity if we didn't go to Bottle Mountain to see this wonder after coming all the way here. How about this, little brother? We will not only give you salt, but also all the goods. You can be our guide and take us to Bottle Mountain. What do you think?"

When Rong Baoyixiao heard this, he was happy at first, but then he thought of something and looked hesitant.

Chen Yulou glanced at Hong Girl, who nodded and said: "Little brother, sister will go to take a look, and will not enter Bottle Mountain. You can lead the way for us."

After hearing what Hong Girl said, Rong Baoyixiao finally nodded and agreed, saying: "Just take a look, but you can't enter the mountain. I heard that there are not only Corpse Kings in the mountain, but also poisonous insects and beasts that have become spirits. Many people in our village have gone in and never came out again. "

Several people looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Luo Laowai nodded and smiled brightly.

If it were any other time, this kid would have been shot dead by him for being so long-winded. But now, with the great god Lin Muye around, he has been extremely restrained. Seeing that the other party agreed, he was naturally very happy.

In this way, Rong Baoyixiao became the guide of the group and led them to the direction of Pingshan.

…

The mountains of Laoxiongling are high and the valleys are deep, with abundant water vapor. Even if there has been a drought for more than a few months, the vegetation is still lush and the mountain road is difficult to walk.

It was not until noon the next day that everyone saw Pingshan on a hillside!

Pingshan was indeed as Rong Baoyixiao said. From a distance, it looked like a half-upside-down bottle. Because it rained the day before, colorful mist was faintly visible in the mountain.

Seeing this, Luo Laowai swept away the fatigue of the journey and said happily: "This mountain is really unusual, even the mist is colorful! "

When Chen Yulou heard this, he smiled and said, "That's called treasure spirit!"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately excited.

Uncle Jiu looked at the Bottle Mountain in the distance with a serious expression and said, "It could also be demon spirit!"

As soon as Uncle Jiu finished speaking, several thunders were heard in the sky, which immediately poured cold water on everyone's high spirits.

Seeing the thunders in the sky, Chen Yulou looked at Lin Muye next to him strangely, and saw that the other party was just looking at the Bottle Mountain in the distance with interest. So he said, "It seems to be raining again today, little brother, is there a place to stay nearby? Lead us a way, let's go to avoid the rain? "

Rong Baoyixiao was a little embarrassed, and he stammered: "Yes, there is, but..."

Luo Laowai had been restrained by Lin Muye and did not get angry. Seeing this, he could no longer hold back. He immediately reached out and grabbed Rong Baoyixiao's ear, and said viciously: "Damn it, I asked you to lead the way, so you lead the way, why are you talking so much nonsense? If you delay again, I will shoot you!"

Rong Baoyixiao felt pain immediately and looked at Lin Muye for help. Lin Muye glanced at Luo Laowai lightly, and the latter immediately let go and stepped aside.

Seeing this, Lin Muye ignored him and said to Rong Baoyixiao: "Just lead the way, we are here to ensure your safety. "
