[Chapter 431 The hospitable barbarians]

“Haunted?” Wu Zhongyuan turned his head to look at Yu Qingdu, “Why did the patriarch Yu say this?”

At this time, everyone was sitting on the city tower on the east side of the city wall. Hearing Wu Zhongyuan’s words, Yu Qingdu stretched out his hand and pointed, “In the early years Some people went out to sea to fish, but the mast was broken and swept into the sea by the waves. They floated with the current for many days. During this time, they had seen the island that the adults said. According to them, the island was haunted by black mist and was eerie. , ghosts cry in the daytime.”

“When did this happen?” Wu Zhongyuan asked, although the old blind man knew the exact location of Turtle Island, but he did not personally land on the island, but the old blind man mentioned that there was fog lingering around Turtle Island.

“It’s been more than 30 years.” Yu Qingdu said.

“How many people were on the boat at that time? Are these people still around?” Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Yu Qingdu hadn’t answered yet, but Huang Youyun on the side took over, “There are three people, all of whom have passed away, one of them is my uncle, he has told me several times about the situation in Turtle Island, I know. Compared with the patriarch, they need to be more detailed.”

“There is the patriarch Lao Huang.” Wu Zhongyuan said.

Relying on the giant crossbow, Huang Youyun recalled for a moment, and then said, “They didn’t land on the island back then, they just drifted from the south of the island. Because of the black fog lingering around the island, they couldn’t see the real situation on the island, just I saw that there seemed to be a broken city on the island, and I could vaguely hear the cries and laughter of the ghosts and the strange sound of the piano.”

“What time of day did they drift past the island?” Wu Zhongyuan asked.

“It’s noon.” Huang Youyun said.

“Have you seen anyone on the island?” Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Huang Youyun shook his head, “No, I just heard Li Gui’s crying and laughing.”

“Is it a person or a group of people crying and laughing? Is it a male voice or a female voice?” Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

“It’s a woman’s voice, it’s hard to tell the age,” Huang Youyun said, and then added, “It’s weird and creepy when you cry and laugh.”

Wu Zhongyuan didn’t rush to ask again, he needed time to sort out the messy clues.

When the old blind man was wandering around in the early years, he once saw a man in black from the East China Sea who could transform his body. This man’s body was a bird, and when he transformed his body, he could transform with weapons. This man lived on Turtle Island.

The old blind man didn’t even land on the island, but he knew that there was a magical fruit on the island that could transform things outside him.

Since the old blind man did not land on the island, it means that in addition to his own knowledge, there are some hearsays mixed with them.

However, although the old blind man mentioned that there is a bird on the island that can transform into a man in black, he did not mention that there was a broken city on the island, nor did he mention that there were women on the island.

After pondering, Wu Zhongyuan asked, “What else do you know about that island?”

Huang Youyun shook his head and said, “Although we have lived by the sea for generations, we rarely go to the deep sea. There are many winds and waves in the sea, and our boat is too small. I ca

n’t bear it anymore.”

Huang Youyun said, and Yu Qingdu nodded in agreement, “Yeah, they floated for more than ten days to get to Turtle Island. I’m

afraid they have already died in the sea.” The first post https:// https://

“How much do you know about the merman?” Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

“Not much, I only know that they are fierce and aggressive. The current leader is called Zhu Lang,” Yu Qingdu shook his head, “They rarely come to the shore, and they have nothing to do with us.”

After Yu Qingdu finished speaking, Huang Youyun said. , “The area where the sharks are active is in the northeast direction of this place.

They have some contacts with the bird clan. If adults want to know their situation, you can go to the bird clan to inquire.”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. In fact, he knew the general area of the merman’s activities. , but seeing the merman is not the main purpose of his trip, and the area where the merman is active is not in the same direction as Turtle Island.

“What are you doing at Turtle Island?” Huang Youyun was a little curious.

“Look for something.” Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

Huang Youyun nodded and didn’t ask any more.

Everyone knew that Wu Zhongyuan was very interested in their bows and crossbows, and he never hid them. Not only did they show him around, but they also arranged for a test firing. The power of the bow and crossbow mainly depends on the tension of the bow string. The bow and crossbow wrapped with dragon tendons can withstand Larger pulling force, the range is more than three times that of ordinary bows and arrows. Large-scale land machines are mainly divided into two types: slings and arrows, which can be subdivided into more than a dozen different models. Among them, there are two types with the greatest power. One is called Tiangang. The crossbow is more powerful than the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow of later generations. It can shoot thirty-six giant arrows at a time, mainly attacking large targets.

There is also a kind of bow called Disha, which can shoot seventy-two small arrows, covering a large area in a fan shape, and is mainly used to attack small groups of targets.

Although the power is amazing, the production cost is also very high. The main body of wood cannot withstand such a large force, and most parts need to be cast with metal, and this Time metal is very precious, and the cost of making the Sky Gang Crossbow and Earth Demon Bow is astonishing, and any one requires at least two thousand catties of metal. He had extorted 10,000 catties of copper and iron from Taiping Village before, and he could only build five of them. , which is also destined to be difficult to popularize the Tiangang crossbow and the earth evil bow.

After visiting the bow and crossbow, Yu Qingdu and others took Wu Zhongyuan to visit the stone pagoda in the city. What they didn’t know was that Wu Zhongyuan had been here before, but Wu Zhongyuan couldn’t tell them that he had been there, and could only follow them up layer by layer. Go, the stone pagoda has seven floors. In addition to a lot of grease and dragon tendons, the skins that had been dried outside were also brought in. The snake skin and Jiao skin are also very useful. Not only can they be used to make soft armor, they can also be used for When making shoes, there are three types of shoes that people wear at this time. Straw sandals are the most common, and most of the ordinary people wear straw sandals.

Leather shoes are second. At this time, leather shoes and modern leather shoes are not a concept. They can also be called leather bindings. All animal skins can be used to make leather bindings.

The least is cloth shoes, which are sewn layer by layer with linen, mostly used by the royal family.

Grease is also widely used, not only for metal smelting, but also for lighting. Jiao oil is different from ordinary animal fats in that they are more resistant to burning and have greater brightness.

The city of the barbarians is very large, and it takes a long time to visit. After the visit, Wu Zhongyuan offered to go to the cave to pay homage to the ancestors of the barbarians. This move was not pretentious, but to seek peace of mind, and this peace of mind was not his peace of mind. , but to reassure Yu Qingdu and others.

Yu Qingdu and others also had this intention, but it was inconvenient to make it clear. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan’s initiative, he pushed the boat along the way and fulfilled his wish.

Of course, there must be a eulogy. Wu Zhongyuan is an archaeologist. Anyone who studies archaeology knows history. People who understand history are not afraid of similar things. First of all, the facts must be clearly stated. Walk the soul lamp, then put a high hat on the barbarians, and finally make a promise. The implication is that he will help the barbarians together in the same boat, and strive to protect the barbarians comprehensively.

If you don’t have culture, you can’t speak. If you can speak, you are basically literate, and literate people are looked at no matter what dynasty or generation they are in. Hearing Wu Zhongyuan reciting a eulogy, Yu Qingdu and others admire him a lot. , worthy of being the reincarnation of the golden dragon, with a well-rounded export, calm and calm, with the style of a king.

It was getting late at this time, Wu Zhongyuan got up to leave, and the barbarians retained enthusiasm. The enthusiasm at this time was different from the courtesy of later generations.

Wu Zhongyuan thought about it and decided to stay for one more night. Although he could see things at night and was not afraid of ghosts, there was no need to rush to Turtle Island in the middle of the night. The situation on Turtle Island is rather strange, so it is more appropriate to go during the day, at least The light is better than at night.

But soon he regretted staying. The Yiren hadn’t persuaded them to drink at noon, but they started persuading them at the dinner party. Do it first as a respect, then stand and wait for him to drink, he won’t leave unless he drinks.

Even if you have spiritual energy, you can’t stand such a drink. At this time, the degree of alcohol is low, it is estimated that it is about 20 degrees, but no matter how low the degree is, it is also alcohol. The people below are not counted. The big bowl also confuses him, and next time someone comes to pay respects, and he won’t drink anymore after being beaten to death.

The barbarians have a strange rule. When eating, only men serve the table, and women stand aside to serve. This rule has also been passed down to modern times. Even in modern times, women in this region also do not serve the table, while men do. Take the initiative to keep half of the food for the woman, and only more or less, and eat only the front side of the fish, don’t turn it over, and bring the rest to the woman to eat.

Seeing that the man toasted Wu Zhongyuan and stopped drinking, UU read www.sonicmtl.

com Hula came a group of women, all young and beautiful women, in their 20s and 30s, dressed very grandly, all wearing various jewelry, and they did not use bowls when toasting, but a special kind of conch.

Wu Zhongyuan didn’t intend to drink it again. When he saw the toast, he used a special utensil. He was afraid of getting caught, so he refused.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan’s resignation, the nine patriarchs each took the conch from one of the women and toasted them instead.

Seeing that they were here, Wu Zhongyuan even beat him to death and stopped drinking. It was obvious that he wanted to marry him.

The barbarians regard height as beauty, these big girls are all over 2.23 meters tall, and he is only 1.75 meters tall, so he has to go to other people’s breasts. Although it is said that real men are not afraid of eating fat, this meat is too high. It’s big, how can you eat such a big piece.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan’s refusal, the nine patriarchs were divided into three groups, and each three of them held a bowl of wine as a gift, meaning to give him three women.

At the end of the stalemate, he still didn’t drink, and he didn’t care whether the barbarians were disappointed or not. Sometimes, he couldn’t save face and suffer, so he should give the things he didn’t like to others.

Although it was normal to have a relationship in ancient times, perhaps the Yi people were just to express their hospitality, but Wu Zhongyuan disliked this kind of behavior. If it is reduced to using women of its own tribe to curry favor with foreigners, this nation will really have a problem.

Said it was dinner, and ate it until after two o’clock in the second half of the night. Seeing that the group of flower girls always surrounded the venue and refused to leave, Wu Zhongyuan didn’t dare to stay overnight.
