Golden Dan Roll

Chapter 4 The Feud Meme

The two went all the way down from the top of the mountain to the north, and when they got closer, they realized that the 28 wooden stakes were actually huge archery targets. In the center of the shooting range, there was a black stone platform that was half a person high and five feet square.

"The Bunun people advocate horseback riding and archery. This is just a shooting range."

"Have you ever seen such an unusual archery target?" Wei Feng asked: "The archery target is so big, but anyone who is not blind can hit it in one fell swoop. What's the point? Let's go to the archery target to see what's going on."

Hu Wan thought about it carefully, and found it really weird, Wei Feng's words made sense.

Seeing that he was only a few steps away from the target, a feathered arrow flew towards him suddenly, and with a whizzing sound, it could pass Wei Feng's ear.Wei Feng was frightened even though he was a practicer, and looked around, only to see Baili Miyin quietly appearing behind the target.

"If you dare to take another step forward, I will definitely not miss again." Baili Miyin said, slowly drew two red-feathered arrows from his quiver and put them on the string. It was obvious that the one just now was just a warning.

Wei Feng had lingering fears in his heart, but seeing Baili Miyin's shocking eyes, he hesitated.

Looking at Baili Miyin's sharp gaze, Hu Wan couldn't help but feel sad and gloomy in his eyes. There is no doubt that one of them was prepared for himself.The more so, the more humble temptations and heavy provocations, Hu Wan stepped firmly towards the target.

Baili Miyin leaped onto the stone platform lightly, drew the bow and turned to Hu Wan and shot the arrow without hesitation.Feather arrows were deeply embedded in the soil, blocking the way.She looked at Hu Wan condescendingly, and said coldly: "I advise you not to go any further."

"Wan'er..." Wei Feng shuddered when he saw this, he didn't care about any clues in the shooting range, he hurriedly pulled Hu Wan and said anxiously: "Let's go."

Hu Wan turned a deaf ear, broke away from Wei Feng's hand, walked around the red feather arrow and went straight to the target.It is no longer a heretic who insists on proving the shooting range, but is betting his life to prove whether Baili Miyin still has a trace of affection for her.

Putting down the bow in a slump, Baili Miyin's eyes gradually lost their sharpness and softened slightly.Obviously unable to make a move, but his mouth wants to be brave. "It's not suitable to kill a living being today, I'll let you go, don't do it again in the future, otherwise there will be no pardon for killing."

"Heh! The priest is really cautious. He used divinations and calendars to measure good and bad times when he went out. I'm afraid he has done too many bad things?" Hu Wan glanced at the target without a trace, and sarcastically said: "I thought you had kind thoughts in your heart to spare me, so why not?" It was my fortune that hit the auspicious day."

As soon as Hu Wan's words fell, Wei Feng saw that Baili Miyin's face turned cold again, and hurriedly dragged Hu Wan away, fearing that she would completely anger Baili Miyin if she spoke rudely again, and if they really turned their faces, the two of them would become Arrow down the wronged soul.Hu Wan has always been gentle and kind to everyone, and she doesn't want to be fearless in the face of danger in front of the enemy, and she is even more cheerful when she speaks ill, which makes Wei Feng respectful.

Being dragged away from the shooting range by Wei Feng all the way, Hu Wan looked back with cold eyes, but Baili Miyin was no longer there.Shaking off Wei Feng's hand, Hu Wan found a rock and sat down, puzzled and said: "It's true, as you said, the bull's eye is inlaid with copper coins, and Baili Miyin's reaction is also worthy of scrutiny, and it's not worth anything. , why do you strongly block us from approaching?"

"No, did you notice the black stone platform in the middle of the shooting range?" Wei Feng looked around subconsciously, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whispered: "Such a big piece of obsidian rough stone is really rare in the world. The disciples of the pavilion told me However, obsidian is a kind of energy spar, which can ward off evil spirits, and it is a top-class treasure. People who practice the Tao are thirsty for it, and if they can get an inch of length, they will treat it as a treasure. There must be chaos in the world."

"I'm afraid you have misjudged it. Who can expose the priceless treasure to the mountains and wilds, lest others will not remember it?" Hu Wan dismissed it, thinking that Wei Feng was not clear about things.It is clearly a big rock, and there is no way to see the name of a gemstone.

"It's a helpless move. Although obsidian is an energy spar, it needs to absorb the sun, moon and stars to accumulate energy. Ordinary people don't know things. When they see it, they think it's a stone, but the one in the shooting range is an uncut rough stone. , even if a cultivator has no eyesight, it is difficult to detect its essence. In addition, Luyuedang is closed, and few outsiders set foot on it, and only Baili Miyin guards it to be safe. With her fierce appearance just now, she looks like a cold Facing Shura, it’s not surprising that anyone who tried to identify her would have died under her arrow.” Wei Feng’s analysis was logical, but suddenly changed the subject, and said, “Now that I think about it, I’m terrified. It’s fair to say that our intention is obvious and we’re bound to die. How could she Just let us go? Aren't you afraid that our wisdom and knowledge will spread?"

Hu Wan remained silent, the image of Baili Miyin frowning tightly but not releasing the arrow flashed in his mind, his mind was a little subtle, it was ridiculous to say.But in those three years of wind, flowers, snow and moon, she knew very little about Baili Miyin, so she couldn't help feeling sad.

It has been three days since I left Baisha Town, the carriage is full, but it is full of cheap things.The smell of mud and dust in the carriage caused Hu Wan to stare at the cart full of herbs in a daze, feeling a little distraught at the thought of leaving Los Angeles.

In a daze, Wei Feng was out of breath, opened the curtain and jumped into the carriage with a look of astonishment.He was tall and burly, and the originally not spacious carriage suddenly seemed crowded, Hu Wan felt a little uncomfortable, frowned and said, "Senior brother, why are you so reckless?"

Without waiting to recover his breath, Wei Feng hurriedly made a silent gesture to Hu Wan, furtively lifted a corner of the curtain, and pouted at Hu Wan, motioning her to look outside.

Hu Wan glanced sideways with curiosity, and suddenly saw two familiar figures at the entrance of the alley, and couldn't help being surprised: "Why are Master and Taoist Li Tang here?"

"I'm also wondering, Taoist Li Tang swore that he would keep Master safe, but he still brought Master here knowing that we were in Minnow Mountain. Did things come to light?"

"It's not like, if things come to light, even if the master is worried and follows, Taoist Li Tang will not be too tired to follow around." Hu Wan rolled his eyes and thought, "Do you remember that before leaving, master mentioned that Taoist Li Tang received letterhead? If it is true, combined with the messy soil surface of Minnow Mountain and the extinct Phyllostachys spp., there may be a connection between them."

"You mean that Taoist Li Tang didn't make up that letter? It can't be such a coincidence." Wei Feng shook his head with a bitter face and said in a deep voice, "We haven't heard any talk of ghosts and plagues during our stay in Los Angeles."

"If the closed corner that Master refers to is Yueyuedang, then it will be easy to explain." Hu Wan slightly adjusted her sitting posture, and slowly analyzed: "First, Taoist Li Tang firmly believes that we will not go to the enemy's hinterland, so he agreed. You hide the master, on the one hand you lead the master to do things, kill two birds with one stone; on the other hand, Baili Miyin acts in secret, if there is indeed something taboo in Yuedang, she will do her best to block the news, and the Bunun tribe will keep silent."

"Sounds reasonable, but according to your analysis, the two old Taoists should be in Yueyuedang. What are you doing in Los Angeles?"

Hu Wan didn't want to leave, even though Los Angeles, which made her deeply sad, had no place for her.In order to stay logically and let Wei Feng follow her decision, she couldn't help her words flashing and inciting: "Why don't you ask them? Senior brother has always been interested in strange powers and chaos, don't you want to reveal the secrets of the shooting range? Master Li Tangdao must inherit Maoshan He can see clearly the way to solve our doubts. As for the master, we have already dealt with it first, and he has nothing to do with us, the last thing is to blame him severely. If we can help, he will calm down."

Wei Feng has been talked about by Taoist Changchi all year round, and he is not afraid of the scolding he is accustomed to. If he hadn't taken care of Hu Wan, he would not have fled in embarrassment when he saw them just now.And Hu Wan's words hit his heart, he was very curious about what kind of evil spirits were trapped in the shooting range, and he needed the dual suppression of Thunder Pool Formation and Obsidian, so he nodded immediately and got out of the carriage first.

Taoist Changchi and Taoist Li Tang were nowhere to be seen at the entrance of the alley, Wei Feng hurriedly chased them out.Just now I was afraid of being bumped into by them, but this time I was afraid of not bumping into them.

Hu Wan got out of the carriage unhurriedly, thinking that she was able to stay at ease, and was not in a hurry to ask for proof.Stopping the horse and looking up, the blue sky and silver clouds meander away between the eaves, like a dragon floating.The scorching sun is dazzling, flowing down through the shadowy treetops, restraining the edge, like a frozen time, warm and long.

"Doctor Hu's footsteps are smooth, Luocheng Tiangong is overjoyed when he wants to come. After a few days of haze, the clear sky will welcome you back." Yi Yan's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Hu Wan turned around, and was obviously surprised to see Yi Yin. Yan Ting had been separated for more than a month, and she was radiant at this time, with a certain beauty.Hu Wan bowed slightly to her, and said, "I am a citizen of Luocheng. If there is no place to settle down here, how can I return? You have lived a prosperous and peaceful life on the blood-stained land. The people of Luocheng I'm afraid Tiangong doesn't have eyes."

"Why don't you sit down and have a chat, Doctor Hu won't be stingy with giving me a cup of tea, right?" Seeing that Hu Wan no longer concealed her identity, Yi Yan showed a warm smile and didn't mind Hu Wan's sarcasm at all. .

Hu Wan remained silent, looking back at the alley, Wei Feng was nowhere to be seen, thinking that it was only time for a cup of tea, it would be all right, so she walked towards the tea shop.

After Hu Wan was seated, Yi Yin poured tea for her, and said, "You and I never met before, but in Yanting, how can I believe who you are."

"I would like to hear more about it." Hu Wan has always lived in seclusion and does not go out and ask about past affairs. Many people in Yuedang have heard of Hu Wan's name, but it is rare to see him.Seven years have passed, and besides Baili Miyin, there is still someone who recognizes her, and they have no relationship with her, which really amazes Hu Wan.

"The dense forest on the east side of the minnow is the burial place of the Uli people. After the war, the servants under the priest's command were ordered to search hundreds of corpses at night. Among them was my cousin. A group of people looked for your body according to your portrait. I have seen that This portrait, the eyebrows and eyes are like the charm of Qinghe, and its shape is vivid on the paper, it is just written by the priest." Yi Yan looked at Yan Huwan meaningfully, and said for a long time: "Because the dead body is not seen, I conclude that you are dead. alive."

Hu Wan snorted coldly, and said contemptuously: "Why are you looking for my body? I'm probably afraid that I'm not dead yet. Hundreds of people from my clan are not allowed to go to the ground for peace. It's extremely ironic that I'm powerless to avenge my hatred. It's extremely ironic. She died a long time ago under the red feather arrow, and there is no need to listen to the enemy lightly mentioning disasters, just like talking about insignificant daily life."

"The sword has no eyes, and the battle between the two tribes is inevitable. How can a war be bloodless? We, the Bunun, also suffered heavy casualties. Doctor Hu's stern reprimands are due to his ignorance of the cause of the war. The truth is that the dispute is black." It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Li tribe provoked it and it was their own fault."

"You...absurd! Talking nonsense!" Hu Wan firmly believed that seven years ago was the slaughter of the Bunun people without conscience. Knot.

Although the two ethnic groups live next to each other and have little contact with each other, they have been cultivated for generations, but the folk customs are completely different.The Uli people are simple and simple, and they have no strength to restrain a chicken. The Bunun people are brave and heroic, and they earn their living on horseback.Confronting the Bunun in arms is tantamount to striking a stone with an egg.I'm afraid it wasn't because all the members of the Huwan tribe had returned to the west, and there was no proof of death, so they were randomly charged with crimes.

Hu Wan had experienced that war, it was a stormy night, the sound of panicked footsteps accompanied by the hissing of people and horses.She followed her father out of the door in a panic, escaped from the camphor forest, but barely bumped into the Baili Miyin horse.Thinking that she came here specially to save her, he feels inexplicably relieved when he sees her, the soft light in his eyes can't be dissipated, and a gorgeous and eye-catching crabapple has already bloomed on his chest.Her arrow was as sharp as lightning and left the string in an instant, Hu Wan had no time to be shocked or sad, and let her scarlet eyes and cold smile fall into the depths of her pupils, becoming her own shackles.

I don't know if it's because Hu Wan is usually indifferent and doesn't care about world affairs, he didn't notice the tension between the two races beforehand, or it was a sudden and temporary intention.For Hu Wan, it was a fierce battle without warning.

Overnight, the sea changed.The peaceful and peaceful Los Angeles is filled with bloody winds, just like a Shura field, and the lives of the people are like ants.

"If I'm going to blame you, you can ask Taoist Li Tang. When the priest was still young, he supported the priest a lot. I only recently found out that he is your master's best friend. He knows the inside story no less than me. In terms of virtue And stand, can you believe his words?" Yi Yan's words were loud and loud, and after he finished speaking, he took out his tea money, and the two broke up unhappy.

"Master Li Tang?" Hu Wan muttered to himself with a sluggish expression.

Unpreparedly involving Taoist Li Tang in the old hatred, Hu Wan suddenly felt chills all over.For the past seven years, Taoist Li Tang has been well aware of Hu Wan's heavy and difficult heart knot, but he has remained silent as if he was outside the matter. Why did he hide it?However, he and the Bunun have a long history, and even have a close friendship. It is not accidental that the world that went around for a while has become the work of heaven.

The lingering sound of Yi Yu lingered in her ears, lingering, forcing Hu Wan to think about the possibility.She was very confused about the intention of the Uri people to start the war. Knowing the difference in power, they did not hesitate to fight to the death with the entire army wiped out. What is the purpose behind it?Yi Yan's words were convincing, and the sullen expression of grievances and grievances did not seem to be fake, and Hu Wan couldn't help being confused.

Slowly walking out of the teahouse, he happened to see Wei Feng approaching resentfully, apparently just finished being scolded, his face was exhausted like a mourning dog.Hu Wan immediately suppressed her thoughts, looked past Wei Feng, and could not find Taoist Changchi and Taoist Li Tang.

"The two old Taoist gods entered the camphor forest mysteriously, and the smell of smoky wormwood on their bodies made the master not even bother to scold me. The matter must not be simple." Wei Feng said listlessly: "He told us to return to Baisha quickly Town, I only know that this is not a blessed place and there may be some changes. Wan'er, smoked wormwood is used to exorcise ghosts and demons, and at this juncture, Master told us to leave, so where should we go?"

"Brother also practiced medicine since he was a child. How could he not understand that fuming wormwood can soothe the nerves, repel mosquitoes and disperse filth, and is more commonly used in plagues, not to ward off evil spirits. Because the ancestors had a shallow understanding of diseases, they always Mistakenly thinking that ghosts are entangled, and inadvertently cured by wormwood, it is only regarded as a thing to dispel evil spirits."

"Not really, I go to Qingyun temple with my master to refine pills, and I often borrow the sect's internal biography from the disciples of the pavilion. Most of the records in it are the way of cultivating immortals and the method of alchemy. It is also quite detailed about geomanticism, Qimen Dunjia, etc. There is also a mention of Maoshan technique in it. Although it is not too long, it has a poor mulberry field, the earth's yin is flushed, and mugwort is produced from it. Known as the mysterious grass, I think it must have its effect." Wei Feng argued.

Although Taoist Changchi and Taoist Li Tang belong to the same Taoist sect, the different branches are separated by mountains.Wei Feng just worshiped the wrong teacher, if he worships under the tent of Taoist Li Tang, he will be able to make the best use of his talents and materials.In the past, I always complained that the Su questionnaire was obscure and difficult to understand, but my memory of the inner transmission of the Taoist sect was still fresh.

"Let's press the wormwood first, brother just said they entered the camphor forest, north or south?" Hu Wan asked.

"Going north, if I remember correctly, going north is Yuedang, right?"

"Exactly." Hu Wan lifted the corner of her skirt, got into the carriage, and said with a lonely expression, "Take control of the horse, senior brother, the camphor forest faces north, no matter what kind of plague or ghosts, let's go meet."

It is the shortest path from Luocheng to Yueyuedang, passing a house of rammed bluestone and red piles with thick tiles. It was originally the Pancaotang of the Uli Medicine Division, and Hu Wan's former home.

How many times have I dreamed back at midnight, the camphor forest has winding paths leading to secluded places, and a hundred birds are contending.The three characters of "Pancaotang" are gilded and bright, green leaves hang around the courtyard wall, and the fragrance of medicine is surrounded in the courtyard. The stone hammer and stone mortar compose an eternal masterpiece, which echoes in the city of Los Angeles.The years at that time were once gentle enough to hold a handful in the palm of your hand, but they never wanted to be violent and frightening.In today's courtyard, the plaques are scattered with floating gold, but the words "Pancaotang" are more vigorous and powerful, as if they are telling the world about its great achievements in the past.

The huge house must have been seized by the Bunun people long after the building was emptied, but seeing that there were no weeds on the high walls and no dust on the door, we knew that someone took good care of the house, but the plaque of the Cottage Hall was not taken down to order the householders Wan Puzzling.

As soon as you enter Laoyuedang, the smell of wormwood permeates your nostrils, and the deeper you go into the hinterland, the more smoky it will be, making you feel like an illusion when you are in it.The two tied the carriage to the stone pillar at will, and when they looked up, they realized that they were in front of the Bunun ancestral hall.

"Wait for the funeral in the ancestral hall, prepare for the funeral, burn the body and wear the sacrificial clothes, and bring the soul back to the clan, I will take care of it myself." Baili Miyin's voice was scattered in the thick fog that could not be wiped away, and there was nothing but sorrow.

There are three souls after death, one soul enters the underworld, one soul enters the coffin, and one soul enters the spirit card. If the body is cremated, one soul will have nowhere to go and should be extradited.

Following the sound, one can dimly see Baili Miyin's tall and straight figure sitting on horseback, her long hair tied up with a silver brocade ribbon, wearing a crescent white gown and a blue belt.At first glance, she looks feminine and quiet, but in fact, her unyielding tenacity and unyielding arrogance are displayed on her body, which makes people unable to move their eyes away.

Feeling the scorching heat in his back vaguely, Baili Miyin fell silent, and Youyou turned his head, accurately catching Hu Wan's gaze in the billowing thick smoke.Hu Wan hurriedly turned away and looked elsewhere, but caught a glimpse of the white curtains in the ancestral hall, and behind the curtains, there were figures, like paradoxical marionettes toddling with thick silk threads, and could clearly feel the low and oppressive atmosphere through the curtains.
