Xiaobai took a sigh of relief, smiled and shook his head, as if he wanted to gently throw away the past years, and said, "Master Xing may know something, but I guess you don't. We, the fox demon clan, the birthplace is convenient. Here in southern Xinjiang, I grew up in these poor mountains and bad waters since I was a child."

Su Ru was startled for a moment, and said, "Then how come the folklore of the Middle-earth region has always had the shadow of your fox demon for thousands of years?"

Xiaobai said indifferently: "That's because a thousand years ago, I led our fox demon clan and left here, went to Middle Earth, and finally settled in the Huqi Mountain."

"Hu Qishan!?" Su Ru was taken aback, then turned to look at Xingtao.

Xingtao said lightly: "That is the headquarters of the Ghost King Sect!"

"The headquarters of the Ghost King Sect!?" Su Ru was startled, "What is the connection between your Fox Clan and the Demon King Sect?"

Xiao Bai directly shook his head and said: "Our fox demon clan has been neighbors with the King of Ghosts for hundreds of years, and we have been in peace. Not only that, there have been several loves between monsters in the past few hundred years." Xiaofei looked at the two with a smile, and said: "After knowing that we are in contact with Ghost King Zong, you don't have any thoughts?"

"You are you, and the Ghost King Sect is the Ghost King Sect!" Xing Tao said lightly, "Although I was placed by the previous Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect, it has nothing to do with you. Even if I want revenge, I won't avenge it. On yourself!"

Su Ru on the side wanted to stagger the topic, and immediately said, "After this incident, do you still want to go back to Huqishan to visit your fellow clan?"

"Family?" Xiaobai's face slowly dimmed and looked up at the sky. After a while, he whispered softly, "My kinsman has been killed by me." Xiaobai laughed bitterly, and his expression became more desolate, but He didn't want to go on.

"You have two other people of the same race!" Xing Tao glanced at Xiao Bai and said, "Although I don't know where they are, if no one helps them, they can only live forty to fifty years! "

Xiaobai also fell silent.

On the other side, Su Ru was also silent for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "We have been walking for three days now, how far is it from the ‘Qilidong’ you mentioned?"

Xiaobai looked at Xingtao and Su Ru, his eyes were drawn across their faces like water, and said: "Qilidong is the largest settlement of the Miao in southern Xinjiang. According to my impression, this place has been in the past twenty miles. The lively place where all ethnic groups live together is called Tianshui Village. From there, there is a sinister path to the south, which is the road leading to the Qilidong of the Miao people." Then, she smiled softly and said, "But I am not. I know, in the past two hundred and fifty years, have there been any other changes in the situation here in southern Xinjiang."

"Twenty miles, not far away, go ahead!" A strange color flashed in Xing Tao's eyes, and he subconsciously speeded up his pace. And Su Ru also followed with him.

Xingtao knew that the dog temple he was looking for was in Qilitong, where there was the main goal of his trip-the magic of soul-calling. Only after learning this trick, can he resurrect the phoenix and the dragon tortoise when he returns to the world of "Feng Yun".

Xiao Bai followed them and looked forward. The mountains were connected, towering, majestic and steep, as if they were also giants, staring at the world.

Southern Xinjiang has a vast territory and sparsely populated land. Except for the wild alien races in the hundred thousand mountains that stretch for thousands of miles in the extreme south, the people who have lived in the border areas of southern Xinjiang for generations have roughly five main tribes, namely: Miao, Tu, and Tu. Five nationalities: Zhuang, Li and Gaoshan.

In terms of population, the Zhuang ethnic group has the largest number, accounting for almost 40% of the total population of southern Xinjiang. In terms of territory, the Miao ethnic group has the strongest power and occupies the most fertile land. In terms of folk customs, the population is the smallest. The Gaoshan people are the most aggressive.

These five tribes have lived in this southern border for generations. Each of the five ethnic groups has its own language, but in general, when communicating with each other, they use a common language similar to that of China, but there are some local ethnic "features".

Over the years, there have naturally been times when they communicated with each other and enjoyed each other hand in hand, but there was no lack of conflicts and conflicts between each other. Over the long years, a situation where the five tribes each occupy one side, but their territories are intertwined and deep.

Where the territories of different tribes meet, there are often villages and towns where people of several ethnic groups live together. At most, people from even five tribes live in one place at the same time and live together.

The Tianshui Village in Xiaobai’s mouth is located in the border of the Miao, Zhuang, Tu, and Gaoshan ethnic groups. It is also a famous place on the border of southern Xinjiang.

When the sky was approaching dusk, Xingtao, Su Ru and Xiaobai finally walked into Tianshui Village.

Chapter 127

Tianshui Village, although there is a "zhai" in the name of this place, it is fundamentally different from the Shanzhai usually built on the top of the mountain in southern Xinjiang. Xiaobailu explained that this place was originally built by the Tu people, and the original site is not here, but on a mountain not far to the west. Because there is a clear spring at the top of the mountain, it is called Tianshui Village.

Only after the four ethnic groups bordered and the population increased, this place became a place of mixed population.

Business travels are gradually increasing. If you live in the mountains, the place is small and inconvenient to live in. Second, it is difficult to commute. Even though the people here in southern Xinjiang are generally physically fitter than the Chinese, no one wants to. Climbing the mountain every day to exercise.

As a result, people gradually began to move to live in the mountains, from few to more people. Over time, the people in the entire cottage gradually moved down. With the prosperity of the four ethnic groups, business travels became more frequent and the scale expanded. As for the original cottage on the top of the mountain, it has become deserted day by day, and only the name Tianshui Village has been retained.

At this moment, the sky had just darkened, and there were still many pedestrians on the street, coming and going, the surrounding was noisy, and the languages ​​of various ethnic groups sounded from time to time, which was completely different from the desertedness of the ancient road when they came just now.

Xing Tao, Su Ru, and Xiao Bai all watched around. Both Bai Ye and Su Ru were a little curious when they saw this view of Southern Xinjiang for the first time, while Xiao Bai was imprisoned for hundreds of years and came to experience life and freedom at this time.

As the three of them walked in, Su Ru and Xiaobai both had smiles at the corners of their mouths, and they were covered in burlap and linen shirts.

Not to mention that it is in this southern border, where the wind and frost are severe, and most of the women are ordinary-looking and dark-skinned; even when they go to the middle-earth place, the appearance of Su Ru and Xiaobai will attract the attention of countless people.

Sure enough, after a while, more and more people looked over, and the eyes of those who were successful, naturally and very quickly, moved to the two burlap robes that could hardly conceal their beauty.

In an instant, as if an invisible sound wave spread, everyone was surprised at it. Su Ru frowned, a trace of dislike on her face. She used to be very naughty, if she encountered this situation, she would definitely be a little excited and shy; but after marrying Xingtao, she didn't like this feeling very much. From this point of view, she was quite traditional.

On the other hand, Xiao Bai didn't even have the slightest shyness at all. Seeing her smile all the time, she seemed to like this feeling quite a bit.

"Xiao Bai, don't cause trouble!" Bai Ye said with a glance at Xiao Bai.

With Xiao Bai's appearance, this will definitely attract many rascals. Although Xing Tao is not afraid, he is not in a good state after all. If he draws the people from Fenxiang Valley over because of this small matter, it will be troublesome.

Xiaobai snorted, glared at Xingtao, and then withdrew his previous gaze, but took Xingtao and Su Ru to stay in the nearby Tianshui Inn.

Xingtao didn't want to entangle with the people here, so early the next morning, the three immediately set off for Qilidong. Qilitong is not very far from Tianshui Village, it will be there in half a day. That is a horse head mountain.

Looking at this mountain shaped like a horse's head, Xiao Bai smiled and said: "It is said that there is a deep hole in this mountain, and there is a dog **** believed by the Miao people living in the hole. There is a narrow mountain road at the foot of the mountain, which can only be walked by one person, and walked in. It is Qilidong where the Miao people live."

Hearing the word "Inu God", Xingtao's eyes lit up again. He raised his head and looked at the mountain, with a trace of fire in his eyes. However, he quickly dissipated the heat. He is now injured. Until the injury is healed, he still should not provoke the taboo of the Black Witch Race!

"Let's go!" Xiaobai looked at Xingtao deeply, and then led the way.

Walking into the narrow mountain road, twists and turns, on both sides of the hard rock wall, from time to time there are sudden rocks pierced out, if you are not careful, I am afraid that you will hit your head.

And looking around the stone wall, there are still drops of water dripping continuously in many places, and the most places also gather into a small pool. Up and down the stone wall, in the dark place, a lot of blue-green stone moss grew, making the air filled with a slightly moist and cold smell.

Xingtao, Su Ru, and Xiaobai turned seven and eight turns, and finally turned out of this mountain road, which was not known for many years, and saw the sun again.

The three of them looked forward and saw that they were suddenly cheerful. Surrounded by the mountains, a piece of fertile, flat and open land appeared in front of them.

One after another, houses with a strong Miao flavour have risen from the ground, or built on the hillside, or closely connected. There is also a clear stream, originating in the mountains ahead, winding through this paradise-like land. Many Hmong houses were built on both sides of the stream.

And above the water, from a distance, the Miao people have built three bridges, but they are actually different. One is a wooden bridge, the simplest one. Two giant trees are tied together and lie on both sides, even if they are A bridge.

As for the other two, they are all stone bridges, but they are more flavorful. A large stone is built, rough and solid, and laid flat on a stream with a small water surface. Then a thick stone slab is used to build a bridge. It is a simple and practical way to build a bridge here in southern Xinjiang.

But the last stone bridge was made of small stones, and there were no piers. It was an arch bridge. Each stone was closely connected. It passed across the sky and flew over the stream. It looked like a bridge in the middle-earth region. It is strange to appear here.

The three of them continued to walk forward, and the crowd grew and became more lively. Most of the surroundings were Miao people's native language, Xingtao and Su Ru only felt sizzling in their ears, and couldn't understand a word for a long time.

Xiaobai walked beside him and looked around. Many of the Miao people encountered around him looked to them. They looked at them more because they saw them, but they didn't have any special hostility. After walking a few steps, she whispered to Xingtao and Su Ru: "It seems that southern Xinjiang has been a lot more peaceful these years."

Su Ru was startled, puzzled, and said, "What's the matter?"

Xiaobai said: "When I arrived here, ordinary Miao people saw outsiders as if they were facing great enemies, and their eyes were even more vigilant. At that time, the five tribes fought fiercely and cruelly, and the tribes fought from time to time. If outsiders dare to come to these Qilidongs, if there is no self-defense technique, they will probably be more fierce. But looking at today’s situation, I’m afraid there has been a lot less fighting over the years."

The two nodded slightly and looked around. At this moment, they are already walking among the Miao people. This avenue is on the side of the stream. One side is the houses closely connected by the Miao people, and the other side is the clear river. There is plenty of green on the bank. The trees are in a row.

At first glance, the Miao people’s houses are mostly made of wood. The style is completely different from the Middle-earth style. It is square and unpretentious, and there are ferocious animal bones hanging on the front entrance and the edge walls of the house. The more ferocious beasts are. It is common, and it is mostly the custom of the Miao people to come here to show the courage of the owner of the house.

Miao people set up vendors on both sides of the road, but most of the things they sell are wild animal fur and raw meat. After a few steps, only one or two stalls sell small jewelry, jade, and other toys.

Xiaobai smiled and said, "The furs here are all first-class goods, and the prices are big and cheap. If you want, you can buy a few here, but it's a great deal."

"Forget it, we are not here to do business!" Xing Tao shook his head.
