Chapter 67 Witchfire Festival
Fortunately, my luck was not that bad. Although I encountered some troubles in the valley these two nights, I was in danger and safely achieved.
"Yes, Master Wu, this is the Wu Cave of the Luodong people!" Bai He said.
He has been with Qiu Yuan several times and is already familiar with him.
He followed Qiu Yuan to learn archery martial arts, and his skills were pretty good.
At this moment, he said to the distance, the Mandong blocked by mountain mist.
Luodong Barbarian Witch is a large witch cave with a population of thousands. Even if it is separated by a valley, it can be seen clearly that not only bamboo houses are built on the opposite mountain, but also tiled houses are even built.
"I heard that Luoman was originally just a small witch cave. Later, the old witch master came here and taught them how to farm, and helped them do business with the Han people.
The barbarian witches of the fallen cave gradually flourished and are now the famous witch cave in the mountains!”
Baihe talks a lot.
It is much better than the taciturn Qiu Shan who followed behind.
Tao Xiaowu just asked, Baihe could answer so many times.
However, based on what you see in front of you, you can become more and more clear about the situation of the Luodong Barbarian Witch.
However, Baihe did not really understand what Tao Xiaowu was trying to say.
Until Qiu Shan spoke, he said quietly: "The witch cave of Luo Barbarians is far away from the river valley!"
Among these 100,000 Hengduan Mountains, at night, only this huge river valley passage is still safe.
Once you leave the valley and enter the mountains, it is dangerous!
After so many nights, the group had already known about this.
At this time, you can see that although the barbarian cave of Luodong Barbarian Witch is not too far from the river valley, it has already left the river valley!
Baihe had never thought of such a thing, but was suddenly pointed out by Qiu Shan, and his face changed slightly: "Yes, yes, we just spent all night in that mountain and it was so dangerous.
But I don’t know how these barbarian witches came through so many years…”
The river valley is huge and it is driven out by countless years of mountain torrents.
There are quite a lot of fertile fields in it.
However, there is no witch cave of the barbarian witch man. Why is this?
When Tao Xiaowu saw Bai He and others understand, his face changed color, he chuckled and said, "Actually, there is no need to think too much. These barbarian witches have lived in the 100,000 Hengduan Mountains since ancient times, so naturally they have ways to avoid misfortune.
We should hurry up and we will know at a glance when we arrive at the Wu Cave people in Luodong!”
Baihe and others finally relaxed, and they all agreed.
That's it!
Tao Xiaowu and others were just separated from the Luodong Barbarian Witch, and they could see clearly, and the straight line was only a few miles away.
However, I walked around the way for half a day.
It was not until the sun sets west that we came to the fallen witch.
Looking from a distance, the sun shone slanted, casting huge shadows, which had already enveloped the entire Mandarin.
It seemed as if it was already dark one or two hours earlier...
It's dark early in the mountains, but that's all!
However, what really caught Tao Xiaowu's attention was not what these mortals could see with the naked eye.
Because Tao Xiaowu could feel that the entire mountain where the Luodong Barbarian Wuwu Cave was located seemed to be shrouded in it by a kind of force.
Tao Xiaowu looked over and saw that the aura of clouds seemed to rise above the Barbarian Cave, which was invisible to ordinary people.
However, Tao Xiaowu could see clearly that the aura seemed to condense into a huge spider, entrenching on the entire tribe with its teeth and claws.
The surrounding clouds were like large webs made of spiders, covering the entire mountain.
"This is the witch spirit of Luodong Barbarian Witch. It turns out that these witches rely on the witch spirit to survive in this dangerous mountain.
However, the Luodong Barbarian Witch is indeed the majority, and the witch spirit is a hundred times stronger than the witch spirit I dealt with last time!”
When Tao Xiaowu saw it, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
This is probably the most powerful god that Tao Xiaowu has ever seen, except for the two Hengting Ghost Bosses.
That’s right, in Tao Xiaowu’s opinion, this is no longer a witch spirit, at least it is a witch god!
Even Tao Xiaowu couldn't help but feel a great pressure.
Obviously, the witch spirit of the Luodong Barbarian Witch seems to be much stronger than that of Tao Xiaowu!
"Interesting, interesting... Among these 100,000 mountains, it seems to be becoming more and more interesting..."
The barbarian witches from Luodong have a lot of exchanges with the outside world and have business dealings, so they have made the roads outside the barbarian dynasty quite good.
As soon as the group went up the mountain, they reported their origin before they arrived at Mandong, and heard the sound behind them.
But I listened to the noise behind and the cheerful singing.
A group of Romans dressed in hunters came back happily.
I saw them carrying prey on their backs, including deer, pheasant, rabbit, etc.
The most conspicuous one was the few people carrying a tiger tied to wood.
The tiger's body was bleeding profusely and it was seriously injured. However, it seemed that it was not dead yet, and blood was flowing all the way.
The barbarian witch guarding the gate was very happy when he saw this and said hello to the hunters, but he didn't care about greeting Tao Xiaowu and the others.
Fortunately, the report had already been reported. After a while, Luo Man had already brought the elders, leaders and others from the Man Cave to greet him.
As soon as we met, we gave Tao Xiaowu a big hug and had a very enthusiastic attitude.
After all, although Wu Cheng was kind to them, he taught them to farm and trade with the mountains. But what kind of kindness can be eaten for the rest of his life?
Just as he was thinking this way, Luo Man said happily: "Wu Ling has informed me that a distinguished guest is here!
Da Wu Tao, you are here just in time.
We are just waiting for you to come before the Witch Fire Festival begins!
We had prepared the best food and drinks, and we also went out and shot a tiger to sacrifice to the witch spirit.
At that time, Wu Ling will definitely see you in person!”
Baihe leaned into Tao Xiaowu's ear and said, "After the death of the witch cave of the barbarian witch people, they were not buried, but were all cremated. This is called the witch fire sacrifice!
For the barbarians, this is not a sad thing, but a joyful thing to celebrate.
Because the soul of the dead will go to the land of the witch spirit and meet the dead ancestors of all generations!"
Tao Xiaowu nodded slightly after hearing this, and his thoughts changed slightly.
I already understand why such a custom has formed in this mountain!
Earthly evil spirits spread in the mountains, and ghosts and demons underground enter and exit.
If the corpse is buried, it will probably take a long time to transform into a corpse.
Then the mountain will be full of zombies!
This is why the custom of cremation is formed.
However, at the same time, this is also a sacrifice to the witch spirit, which is interesting!
Thinking of the tiger hunted by the barbarian witch hunter I just saw, Tao Xiaowu realized that it was actually used to sacrifice to the witch spirit.
Chapter completed!
