Golden Dan Roll
Chapter 3 Revisiting Los Angeles
The bored Wei Feng stared at the steaming medicine stove in front of him, in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.Hu Wan took off the medicine pot, filtered out the soup, lowered her head and said hesitantly: "Senior brother...you look for a car and horse, and we will drive to Minnow Mountain."
"Ah?" Wei Feng regained his senses in astonishment, he couldn't believe that the words came from Hu Wan's mouth, and the corners of his eyes were filled with joy and sorrow. "Wan'er..."
"It takes time for fresh herbs to be washed and dried in the shade. We have to start as soon as possible to fill the pharmacy in time. Don't you forget to dig earthworms? This will be your wish. I am familiar with the terrain of Minnow Mountain and the growth habits of herbs. It is possible to save time by avoiding blind search, but it is also necessary to stay for three to five days in order to return with a full load." Hu Wan pretended to be relaxed.
"Wan'er is very thoughtful, so I'll arrange the carriages and horses right now." Wei Feng was in high spirits at this moment, eager to set off immediately.
"Wait a minute, brother. How do you explain to Master? He will definitely not agree to my going back. If I go away for three to five days, I can't find a reason to lie to him. You have always been tricky, so think about how to hide it from him before planning your trip." Wanxiu frowned, feeling very distressed.
Wei Feng smiled brightly when he heard the words, and said without hesitation: "This matter is easy to handle. I'll go to Qingyun Temple first to ask Taoist Li Tang for help. He will come forward and trap Master in Qingyun Temple for ten and a half months."
Seeing Wei Feng's confident appearance, Hu Wan felt relieved.
Qingyun Temple is a branch of Taoist temples, while Taoists in Changchi worship Quanzhen. Although the branches are different, they are traced back to the same line.Especially in the practice of elixir that prolongs life, strengthens the body and strengthens the foundation, the two branches coexist and seek together, so that Changchi Taoist can come and go seamlessly in Qingyun Temple.However, Li Tangdao, who learned from Maoshan, has lived in Qingyun Temple for a long time, which is unexpected. It is not to mention that he is highly respected and admired by the world.
During the dinner, Taoist Changchi didn't know how to eat, and he was going to leave for a few days, so he solemnly told Wei Feng to take care of Hu Wan while he was away.Wei Feng nodded again and again, sneaking a glance at Yan Huwan, quite proud.
Hu Wan secretly lamented that Taoist Li Tang acted swiftly and resolutely, and couldn't help wondering what method he used to lure Master away, so he asked, "What did Master say to leave?"
"Li Laodao received a letter from his old friend. The letter said that the strange disease spread over there, and the local doctors were helpless, and they had disappeared one after another. There were different opinions in the local area. Some said it was ghosts, and some said it was the plague. He invited me to go with him, and if it is a plague, I will see if I can do my part." Taoist Changchi looked serious.
Hu Wan was dumbfounded, seeing what Master said so seriously, she couldn't tell the truth from what Taoist Li Tang said.If Wei Feng asked him to tell a big lie, then what should he do to deal with the aftermath.
"Where are you going?" Wei Feng buried his head in his meal and asked casually.
"It's a remote and closed corner, I don't have time to ask in detail as a teacher." Taoist Changchi replied vaguely.
Hu Wan glanced at Wei Feng, and also buried her head in her meal, feeling very guilty and timid, so she stopped talking.
Seven years ago, he walked back and forth from the gate of hell, no matter how far he went, it was not a long way for Hu Wan.As soon as Taoist Changchi left, Wei Feng and Hu Wan locked the locks right behind them, pasted a five-day notice on the door of the Yanting Pavilion, and set off.
The rain breaks all the way, but the wind is bleak, the curtains are blown, and the wind is blowing head-on in the carriage, the wind is rumbling, but it is not as clean as the outside of the carriage.Hu Wan thought so, but didn't want to move, she tightly gathered her cloak, let the wind shuffle the hair on her forehead, her heart twitched faintly again.
The road was muddy and difficult, and it took three hours of bumps to reach the hometown of Los Angeles, and the sun was already westward.Being close to the hometown, stepping on this inch of land, every step is a brand of pain.She thought that after the annihilation of the Uli tribe, Luocheng would be desolate and dilapidated, like an empty city, how could it be the situation in front of her eyes.After many years, it is actually the comfort in my memory. Looking around, people who are carrying burdens and shouting, talking and laughing, playing and playing, are splashed by the setting sun to create a picture of tranquility and peace.In a trance, it seemed that the insane killing never happened.
Hu Wan had mixed feelings in her heart, but her face was calm, as if she was a passerby.In order not to hurt the scene, she asked Wei Feng to bypass the camphor forest and the Pancao Hall, and settled the carriage at the Tonghe Inn at the foot of the mountain, and rested there that night.
In the early morning of the next day, Hu Wan put on her veil, carried the medicine basket on her back, and led Wei Feng straight into the mountain.Cutting thorns and thorns all the way up the stairs, looking away, earth dragons abound.The brothers and sisters are all experienced herb pickers, so they are not in a hurry to dig earthworms at this moment, so they will go to high places to collect rare herbs with high medicinal value, and when they go down the mountain, if there is room in the medicine basket, they will pick some cheap ones things to bring.If you dig up from the foot of the mountain, you have to go up with a heavy load.
The wind after the rain is wet, and the more you go up, the colder you feel.Hu Wan went straight to the cliff for the sake of the ancient black festival and refuting Xicao, never thinking that the cliff was in the middle of the storm.The gust of wind howled, blowing down Shiwan's veil, and the cold wind was caught off guard and filled her mouth and nose, and she couldn't help coughing and panting frequently.Looking up, he saw that Shura grass was still growing vigorously, and felt pain in his heart.
Walking against the wind is difficult.Wei Feng's face was full of worry when he saw this, the cold mountain wind was hard for even a strong man to bear, not to mention the weak Hu Wan.Helping Hu Wan to find a big rock against the wind, unloading the medicine basket on her shoulder, Wei Feng looked around and said: "The cliff is steep, I can just go up, you wait for me here."
Hu Wan nodded, pointed to the plum blossom tree on the cliff and said, "Did you see that plum blossom tree? There are piles of rocks under the tree, and ten inches of mud under the rocks. Dig up something, take it out and take it down."
"What kind of mysterious treasure does Wan'er hide?" Wei Feng asked curiously.
"Old plum blossom jade dew."
"Just a jar of wine?" Wei Feng couldn't hide his disappointment, dissatisfied, "What do I think of as a priceless treasure?"
It's just a jar of wine, and it's more than just a jar of wine. There is a secret heart in it, and tenderness that lingers around your fingers.
"It's chilly in the mountains. It's a good time to drink some wine to warm up your body. After counting, the altar of plum blossom and jade dew has been a good wine for ten years. Brother, don't you want to try it?"
Wei Feng chuckled, pretended to be drooling, put the medicine hoe on his waist, didn't say much, and climbed up with ease.
In the past, when the plum blossoms on Minnow Mountain first bloomed in the snow, she would pick a lot of them, and serve them with jars of plum blossoms and jade dew made from fresh snow.When the altar on the cliff was first buried, he was full of joy, looking forward to finding an opportunity to have a deeper conversation with Baili Miyin under the moon, but unexpectedly the world is impermanent, and accidents happen before the time is ripe.
"Ayin is so rude, why would it be unreasonable to kidnap me on a horse?" Hu Wan blamed.Although being held in her arms, she couldn't calm down the panic of riding a horse for the first time, and her body was tense for fear of falling off the horse.
"What Wan'er said is very true, it won't be rude to kidnap you in the dark." Baili Miyin was blunt and strong.
"You madman, where are you taking me?" Hu Wan said dejectedly.
"It's snowing for the first time, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom in the mountains. Don't you want to make wine? How can I just sit back and enjoy the success, so I'll help you pick plum blossoms."
"I want to make wine, but when did I say I would drink it for you?"
"I didn't drink the stuff I brewed before. I don't blame the past. This year, I will get a piece of the pie for my efforts." Baili Miyin said frankly.
Counting nine cold winters, the two rode together, and on the silver-clad Minnow Mountain, the wintersweet tree on the cliff was the most enchanting, full of flowers fighting against the wind and snow.The fluttering sleeves of her clothes fluttered, and she whispered in her ear, exhaling Shenglan to caress people's hearts.Time flies, things change and people change, the words are still in my ears, but the old friends are gone.
Wei Feng took the wine jar out of the medicine basket, patted open the mud seal, and instantly the aroma of wine lingered on the tip of his nose.He raised his head and took a sip, and sighed sincerely: "This wine is very good, it doesn't taste as good as the wine made by Wan'er, it's very good!"
There was a bit of bitterness in Hu Wan's smile, this altar of wine was made from the plum blossoms picked by Baili Miyin, and she couldn't drink it after all, so she couldn't help feeling sad.Zi Weifeng took the wine jar from his hands, glanced at the medicine basket at his feet inadvertently, his smile froze for a moment, and he asked in surprise, "Why isn't there any reed grass?"
"There are only a few ancient black knots on the cliff, and it's hard to find a single one of the sycamores." Wei Feng said discouragedly, "I thought that if I came to the Minnow Mountain, I could carry a basket and go back. I'm so naive, and it's not good for Ghost Hangu."
After Hu Wan's chest was injured, the constriction of the pulse slowed down, the heart collaterals stagnated, and the qi and blood stagnated.When her heart hurts badly, she will take the elixir made by Taoist Changchi for her. In the elixir, there is no need for herbal medicine to ventilate stagnation and remove blood stasis.In my impression, the cliffs are full of refractory weeds, but now they are hard to find, which is strange to say.
After noon, the sky gradually darkened, and it seemed that a heavy rain was quietly brewing.The two of them took advantage of the rain to save up, and seized the time to fill up the two medicine baskets. When the dark clouds pressed the city, they had already descended to the foot of the mountain.
"Wan'er, where are we going tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, we will face the dense forest in the east." Hu Wan said, "There are cliffs in the south of Minnow Mountain, dense forests in the east, and mountain streams in the west. Properly write down the terrain, and if you need any herbs, you only need to know its habits and know where to dig. .”
"What about the north?"
"Don't go to the north." Hu Wan said coldly: "The north is Yueyuedang, where the Bunun people live together."
Wei Feng nodded, remained silent for a long time, and let out an inaudible breath.The scene of leaving the house from the pile of corpses seven years ago is still vivid in my memory, what a tragic Shura field that was.
Losing her veil, she hurried all the way back to the Tonghe Inn, and the astonishing eyes of others troubled her.Hu Wan has always lived in secluded places, and after seven years of death, she is no longer the youthful person she was at the beginning.In the midst of crowds and eyes, she kept the fluke mentality that no one would remember her, and completely forgot the shame of recognizing her at a glance in Yanting.
The torrential rain was ready to go, but the inn lobby was not deserted. Most of the people settled down were foreign traders, who were gathering together to exchange their business experience.Wei Feng asked for a pot of tea, the two of them worked hard all day, they didn't have much to say at this time, they sat by the window and drank leisurely.
"I just saw the two carrying medicine baskets, are you outsiders?" The middle-aged man leaned over from the adjacent table and asked in a polite manner.
"Exactly." Wei Feng blurted out.
"Listen to my advice, you two don't go into the mountains anymore, the mountains are full of miasma, if you are not familiar with the extremely dangerous terrain, even the locals will stay away." The middle-aged man kindly reminded.
"Miasma?" Hu Wan frowned.She has lived in Los Angeles for 19 years and knows Minnow Mountain like the back of her hand. She has never heard or seen miasma in the dense forest, so she can't help but wonder: "We didn't notice anything unusual when we entered the mountain today, seniors, don't make alarmist remarks."
"I remind you with good intentions, because I am afraid that outsiders will not know, so they strayed into Minnow Mountain and never returned." The middle-aged man finished speaking, and continued in a low voice: "You don't know that Luocheng died a few years ago. People, all the corpses were buried in the forest to the east, and the soaring resentment turned into a miasma."
The east side is full of towering trees, lush and lush, which makes the dense forest cold and humid all year round. Hundreds of carrion corpses cannot be buried properly, and it is not surprising that miasma is produced.Undoubtedly, Wei Feng lost his way in the dense forest where it was difficult to tell the direction, and then crashed into the mass grave and rescued Hu Wan.
Hu Wan's eyes were filled with frost, and his eyebrows were stained with slight anger, and he said angrily: "I have also heard that the Bunun tribe slaughtered hundreds of people from the Uli tribe, and then occupied the magpie's nest and set up a family in Luocheng. How can the dead not be resentful for the gangsters' actions?"
"Since the girl knows about this and is still going to the mountains, then forgive me for my extra words, and the two of you can wish for yourselves."
Gradually calming down, Hu Wan looked thoughtfully at the pouring rain outside the window.The dense forest has insufficient light, and if the miasma is thick, it will be more difficult to see, and you will faint and die after a long period of sleep, so you should not venture into it.Not to mention knowing that his father and his family are buried here, nourishing all things in the dense forest, how dare Hu Wan enter the forest to add to his heart, and even if he touches a piece of soil to take a tree, he is afraid of desecrating the undead.
The pouring rain suddenly pulled up a water curtain on the eaves, and a familiar figure loomed behind the water curtain.Standing tall and proud, she walked slowly out of the rain, walked into Huwan's sight, and stood silently in front of the window lattice, her eyes like ink were spotless.
Hu Wan couldn't stop trembling, her heart was gouged out indiscriminately, and her eyes were wet with pain.Desperately wanting to escape, unwilling to be weak and self-pitying in front of the enemy, but it weighs a lot.
"Don't come here without any problems..." The two looked at each other, Baili Miyin's eyes were full of water, the joy of reuniting after a long absence and the unbearable sadness of thousands of words, under Hu Wan's cold gaze, Ruo Qiushuang, All that remains is to be safe.
Hu Wan wrung her cuffs, her wet long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and said with a sneer, "You didn't send me to Huangquan Road with that arrow back then, and it was thanks to you that I survived."
Wei Feng sensed the strangeness between the two of them, and was quietly looking at Baili Miyin.As soon as Hu Wan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that the arrow that pierced Hu Wan's chest was the same as the one in Baili Miyin's quiver, and the red feather on the tip of the arrow was particularly dazzling, like a bloodthirsty monster.Only then did Wei Feng suddenly realize that the cold and lonely woman in front of the window was actually the enemy who killed Hu Wan back then.
He immediately jumped up, turned over the window and greeted Baili Miyin.The right palm was secretly channeling strength, when he was close to him, he saw Baili Miyin turned his body with his hands behind his back, Wei Feng flew into the air, and couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes.Wei Feng's relaxed attitude made Wei Feng become angry from embarrassment, and attacked Baili Miyin again with Jiugong footwork.But seeing the wind blowing under his feet, every step, dense fists and palms came one after another. Unexpectedly, every move was blocked by Baili Miyin and took advantage of the situation. downwind.
When Wei Feng competed with the disciples of Qingyun Guan, it could be said that they were evenly matched. Only now did he realize what it means to be overweight.Obviously Baili Miyin was just defending, if she fought back, Wei Feng would be helpless.
"Brother, stop quickly." Hu Wan yelled sharply: "Our hands are used to save people, don't get dirty because of animals in human skin."
Wei Feng knew that Baili Miyin and Baili Miyin were far apart in strength, and they were not opponents at all, so when he saw Hu Wan's words, he stopped the donkey.Hengmei glared at Baili Miyin angrily, and said viciously: "People are doing what the sky is watching, my junior sister is kind and doesn't want to pursue old grudges with you, you have to forgive others and forgive others, don't touch my junior sister again."
Baili Miyin turned a deaf ear to Wei Feng's words, and just stared blankly at Hu Wan's back disappearing, his face was calm, but his heart was full of thoughts.Facing Hu Wan's sneer and alienation, she would rather suffer her hearty condemnation and abuse, but Hu Wan, who doesn't even want an explanation, makes her feel at a loss.
"Wan'er, who is she? Will she kill you again if she recognizes you? Why did your two clans go to war?" Wei Feng followed Hu Wan closely, asking several questions in succession.
"She is Baili Miyin, the priest of the Bunun tribe. If she wanted to kill us, you would have been one step ahead. Now that the Bunun tribe has moved to Los Angeles, isn't the wolfish ambition to seize the territory not obvious enough?" Hu Wan hurried upstairs, Suddenly remembered something, immediately stopped walking and turned around, said: "Tomorrow we will go into the mountain early, instead of going to the east, we will go to the west, and we will return to Baisha Town the day after tomorrow."
"Well, according to Wan'er, go to the west." Wei Feng secretly pleased, as long as he didn't go to the east, he could go anywhere.
The mist is like smoke, and the body is densely smudged, but the clothes are not wet. It is expected that today will be a good weather.The mountain road to the west is much smoother. The two climbed to the top of the mountain in one go, looked down refreshed, and could catch a glimpse of the corner of Yuedang.
"Brother, someone has come here to dig it." Hu Wan looked at the messy mud pits and said helplessly, "The soil has not been backfilled, so I guess it is not Yaonong."
The herb farmers will keep the seeds and roots in order to prevent them from being dug out. They will be grateful for the gifts of the earth, and they believe that only by backfilling the soil can they be protected by the Lord of the Land, so as to avoid poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains.
"Worthless!" Wei Feng's thoughts were elsewhere, and he said perfunctorily.
"Since you're not a medicine farmer, you don't know the way of the middle way, so it's not immoral." Hu Wan glanced at Wei Feng, saw him looking at Yueyuedang from time to time, and said displeasedly: "It's so interesting, do you still want to pick medicine?" ?”
"Wan'er, this Yueyuedang is unusual." Wei Feng pointed to the flat land on the north side of the mountain, and said seriously: "The vegetation there is sparse, the bare loess is mottled and abrupt, and the black stone platform covered with 28 wooden The stakes surround it. I often hang out with the disciples of Qingyun Audience Pavilion, and I know a little bit about the Qimen Dunjia technique. These 28 wooden stakes are arranged according to the 28 constellations. The perfect fit is not a coincidence, it should be a thunder pool formation."
Wei Feng's serious expression spoke clearly and logically, and it didn't look like he was talking nonsense, Hu Wan couldn't help but muttered in his heart. "What is the Thunder Pool Formation?"
"The Thunder Pond Formation is also the Formation of Locking Ghosts. As the name suggests, it is a formation to imprison evil spirits. The Yangbu Formation needs to be set up. If there are metal objects such as copper coins on the wooden stakes, it can be confirmed that this is not accidental." Wei Feng said. , looked at Hu Wan and begged, "Wan'er, shall we go and verify it?"
Hearing this, Hu Wan felt the chills coming down his back, but he didn't take it seriously and said, "Perhaps the Bunun people value sacrificial etiquette, and the current Thunder Pool Formation is nothing more than a ritual, senior brother, don't make a fuss about it."
"The meaning of the sacrifice is mostly to eliminate disasters and bring good fortune. Worshiping the sky to pray for good weather, offering sacrifices to the earth to pray for a good harvest, offering sacrifices to the ancestors to pray for the prosperity of the lintel, and offering sacrifices to the gods to pray for good fortune and longevity. Is it possible to set up a thunder pool formation to sacrifice evil spirits? Isn't Baili Miyin A priest?" Wei Feng asked suspiciously.
"Brother, stop talking nonsense."
"Go down and have a look first."
"Ah?" Wei Feng regained his senses in astonishment, he couldn't believe that the words came from Hu Wan's mouth, and the corners of his eyes were filled with joy and sorrow. "Wan'er..."
"It takes time for fresh herbs to be washed and dried in the shade. We have to start as soon as possible to fill the pharmacy in time. Don't you forget to dig earthworms? This will be your wish. I am familiar with the terrain of Minnow Mountain and the growth habits of herbs. It is possible to save time by avoiding blind search, but it is also necessary to stay for three to five days in order to return with a full load." Hu Wan pretended to be relaxed.
"Wan'er is very thoughtful, so I'll arrange the carriages and horses right now." Wei Feng was in high spirits at this moment, eager to set off immediately.
"Wait a minute, brother. How do you explain to Master? He will definitely not agree to my going back. If I go away for three to five days, I can't find a reason to lie to him. You have always been tricky, so think about how to hide it from him before planning your trip." Wanxiu frowned, feeling very distressed.

"Wan'er, where are we going tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, we will face the dense forest in the east." Hu Wan said, "There are cliffs in the south of Minnow Mountain, dense forests in the east, and mountain streams in the west. Properly write down the terrain, and if you need any herbs, you only need to know its habits and know where to dig. .”
"What about the north?"
"Don't go to the north." Hu Wan said coldly: "The north is Yueyuedang, where the Bunun people live together."
Wei Feng nodded, remained silent for a long time, and let out an inaudible breath.The scene of leaving the house from the pile of corpses seven years ago is still vivid in my memory, what a tragic Shura field that was.
Losing her veil, she hurried all the way back to the Tonghe Inn, and the astonishing eyes of others troubled her.Hu Wan has always lived in secluded places, and after seven years of death, she is no longer the youthful person she was at the beginning.In the midst of crowds and eyes, she kept the fluke mentality that no one would remember her, and completely forgot the shame of recognizing her at a glance in Yanting.
The torrential rain was ready to go, but the inn lobby was not deserted. Most of the people settled down were foreign traders, who were gathering together to exchange their business experience.Wei Feng asked for a pot of tea, the two of them worked hard all day, they didn't have much to say at this time, they sat by the window and drank leisurely.
"I just saw the two carrying medicine baskets, are you outsiders?" The middle-aged man leaned over from the adjacent table and asked in a polite manner.
"Exactly." Wei Feng blurted out.
"Listen to my advice, you two don't go into the mountains anymore, the mountains are full of miasma, if you are not familiar with the extremely dangerous terrain, even the locals will stay away." The middle-aged man kindly reminded.
"Miasma?" Hu Wan frowned.She has lived in Los Angeles for 19 years and knows Minnow Mountain like the back of her hand. She has never heard or seen miasma in the dense forest, so she can't help but wonder: "We didn't notice anything unusual when we entered the mountain today, seniors, don't make alarmist remarks."
"I remind you with good intentions, because I am afraid that outsiders will not know, so they strayed into Minnow Mountain and never returned." The middle-aged man finished speaking, and continued in a low voice: "You don't know that Luocheng died a few years ago. People, all the corpses were buried in the forest to the east, and the soaring resentment turned into a miasma."
The east side is full of towering trees, lush and lush, which makes the dense forest cold and humid all year round. Hundreds of carrion corpses cannot be buried properly, and it is not surprising that miasma is produced.Undoubtedly, Wei Feng lost his way in the dense forest where it was difficult to tell the direction, and then crashed into the mass grave and rescued Hu Wan.
Hu Wan's eyes were filled with frost, and his eyebrows were stained with slight anger, and he said angrily: "I have also heard that the Bunun tribe slaughtered hundreds of people from the Uli tribe, and then occupied the magpie's nest and set up a family in Luocheng. How can the dead not be resentful for the gangsters' actions?"
"Since the girl knows about this and is still going to the mountains, then forgive me for my extra words, and the two of you can wish for yourselves."
Gradually calming down, Hu Wan looked thoughtfully at the pouring rain outside the window.The dense forest has insufficient light, and if the miasma is thick, it will be more difficult to see, and you will faint and die after a long period of sleep, so you should not venture into it.Not to mention knowing that his father and his family are buried here, nourishing all things in the dense forest, how dare Hu Wan enter the forest to add to his heart, and even if he touches a piece of soil to take a tree, he is afraid of desecrating the undead.
The pouring rain suddenly pulled up a water curtain on the eaves, and a familiar figure loomed behind the water curtain.Standing tall and proud, she walked slowly out of the rain, walked into Huwan's sight, and stood silently in front of the window lattice, her eyes like ink were spotless.
Hu Wan couldn't stop trembling, her heart was gouged out indiscriminately, and her eyes were wet with pain.Desperately wanting to escape, unwilling to be weak and self-pitying in front of the enemy, but it weighs a lot.
"Don't come here without any problems..." The two looked at each other, Baili Miyin's eyes were full of water, the joy of reuniting after a long absence and the unbearable sadness of thousands of words, under Hu Wan's cold gaze, Ruo Qiushuang, All that remains is to be safe.
Hu Wan wrung her cuffs, her wet long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and said with a sneer, "You didn't send me to Huangquan Road with that arrow back then, and it was thanks to you that I survived."
Wei Feng sensed the strangeness between the two of them, and was quietly looking at Baili Miyin.As soon as Hu Wan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that the arrow that pierced Hu Wan's chest was the same as the one in Baili Miyin's quiver, and the red feather on the tip of the arrow was particularly dazzling, like a bloodthirsty monster.Only then did Wei Feng suddenly realize that the cold and lonely woman in front of the window was actually the enemy who killed Hu Wan back then.
He immediately jumped up, turned over the window and greeted Baili Miyin.The right palm was secretly channeling strength, when he was close to him, he saw Baili Miyin turned his body with his hands behind his back, Wei Feng flew into the air, and couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes.Wei Feng's relaxed attitude made Wei Feng become angry from embarrassment, and attacked Baili Miyin again with Jiugong footwork.But seeing the wind blowing under his feet, every step, dense fists and palms came one after another. Unexpectedly, every move was blocked by Baili Miyin and took advantage of the situation. downwind.
When Wei Feng competed with the disciples of Qingyun Guan, it could be said that they were evenly matched. Only now did he realize what it means to be overweight.Obviously Baili Miyin was just defending, if she fought back, Wei Feng would be helpless.
"Brother, stop quickly." Hu Wan yelled sharply: "Our hands are used to save people, don't get dirty because of animals in human skin."
Wei Feng knew that Baili Miyin and Baili Miyin were far apart in strength, and they were not opponents at all, so when he saw Hu Wan's words, he stopped the donkey.Hengmei glared at Baili Miyin angrily, and said viciously: "People are doing what the sky is watching, my junior sister is kind and doesn't want to pursue old grudges with you, you have to forgive others and forgive others, don't touch my junior sister again."
Baili Miyin turned a deaf ear to Wei Feng's words, and just stared blankly at Hu Wan's back disappearing, his face was calm, but his heart was full of thoughts.Facing Hu Wan's sneer and alienation, she would rather suffer her hearty condemnation and abuse, but Hu Wan, who doesn't even want an explanation, makes her feel at a loss.
"Wan'er, who is she? Will she kill you again if she recognizes you? Why did your two clans go to war?" Wei Feng followed Hu Wan closely, asking several questions in succession.
"She is Baili Miyin, the priest of the Bunun tribe. If she wanted to kill us, you would have been one step ahead. Now that the Bunun tribe has moved to Los Angeles, isn't the wolfish ambition to seize the territory not obvious enough?" Hu Wan hurried upstairs, Suddenly remembered something, immediately stopped walking and turned around, said: "Tomorrow we will go into the mountain early, instead of going to the east, we will go to the west, and we will return to Baisha Town the day after tomorrow."
"Well, according to Wan'er, go to the west." Wei Feng secretly pleased, as long as he didn't go to the east, he could go anywhere.
The mist is like smoke, and the body is densely smudged, but the clothes are not wet. It is expected that today will be a good weather.The mountain road to the west is much smoother. The two climbed to the top of the mountain in one go, looked down refreshed, and could catch a glimpse of the corner of Yuedang.
"Brother, someone has come here to dig it." Hu Wan looked at the messy mud pits and said helplessly, "The soil has not been backfilled, so I guess it is not Yaonong."
The herb farmers will keep the seeds and roots in order to prevent them from being dug out. They will be grateful for the gifts of the earth, and they believe that only by backfilling the soil can they be protected by the Lord of the Land, so as to avoid poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains.
"Worthless!" Wei Feng's thoughts were elsewhere, and he said perfunctorily.
"Since you're not a medicine farmer, you don't know the way of the middle way, so it's not immoral." Hu Wan glanced at Wei Feng, saw him looking at Yueyuedang from time to time, and said displeasedly: "It's so interesting, do you still want to pick medicine?" ?”
"Wan'er, this Yueyuedang is unusual." Wei Feng pointed to the flat land on the north side of the mountain, and said seriously: "The vegetation there is sparse, the bare loess is mottled and abrupt, and the black stone platform covered with 28 wooden The stakes surround it. I often hang out with the disciples of Qingyun Audience Pavilion, and I know a little bit about the Qimen Dunjia technique. These 28 wooden stakes are arranged according to the 28 constellations. The perfect fit is not a coincidence, it should be a thunder pool formation."
Wei Feng's serious expression spoke clearly and logically, and it didn't look like he was talking nonsense, Hu Wan couldn't help but muttered in his heart. "What is the Thunder Pool Formation?"
"The Thunder Pond Formation is also the Formation of Locking Ghosts. As the name suggests, it is a formation to imprison evil spirits. The Yangbu Formation needs to be set up. If there are metal objects such as copper coins on the wooden stakes, it can be confirmed that this is not accidental." Wei Feng said. , looked at Hu Wan and begged, "Wan'er, shall we go and verify it?"
Hearing this, Hu Wan felt the chills coming down his back, but he didn't take it seriously and said, "Perhaps the Bunun people value sacrificial etiquette, and the current Thunder Pool Formation is nothing more than a ritual, senior brother, don't make a fuss about it."
"The meaning of the sacrifice is mostly to eliminate disasters and bring good fortune. Worshiping the sky to pray for good weather, offering sacrifices to the earth to pray for a good harvest, offering sacrifices to the ancestors to pray for the prosperity of the lintel, and offering sacrifices to the gods to pray for good fortune and longevity. Is it possible to set up a thunder pool formation to sacrifice evil spirits? Isn't Baili Miyin A priest?" Wei Feng asked suspiciously.
"Brother, stop talking nonsense."
"Go down and have a look first."
