Before dawn, Ye Tianwen had already learned the news and his face was , Yin Xiu pretended to know nothing and followed Bai Fenghuang out and stretched. "Why, were you tired last night?" Mrs. Lin stood aside, staring at Yin Xiu, trying to see something from him. However, Yin Xiu just smiled and said, "If you share a room with such a beauty and don't get tired at night, wouldn't that be disrespectful to her?" When Bai Fenghuang heard this, she turned around and thought of what Yin Xiu had done last night and the fact that she had pressed the wrong acupoints later. Her face turned red and she quickened her pace and walked away. Grandma Lin just said coldly: "Young people are full of energy, and it's a good thing that they like to make trouble, but they must not make mistakes or take the wrong path." "Don't worry, I won't go the wrong way, because I have already made many mistakes in my short life. What about breakfast? Is breakfast ready?" "Tsk..." On the contrary, Grandma Lin frowned and said, "Boy, you are no different from a hostage now. Your life is completely in the hands of others. Aren't you afraid that something bad will happen to you? How can you still eat?" "Accident? Shouldn't you be concerned about this kind of thing for me?"
Yin Xiu said happily: "If I died, I'm afraid you would be troubled too." "It's natural." Knowing that he was provoking her, Grandma Lin said in a gloomy tone, "If you were not important, I wouldn't have put such a big bug in your body. But you'd better be able to help, otherwise, I can't guarantee that the bug won't get out of control." "Whether I can help or not depends on God's will." Yin Xiu pointed to the sky and said, "Isn't it often said that man proposes, God disposes." "Planning something? What do you think we are planning?" Grandma Lin asked suddenly. "I don't know about that." Yin Xiu spread his hands, "But you also said that you and the Fa people also have some plans in this. You know very well what you are planning." "What else do you know?" Grandma Lin asked seriously. "What else should I know?" Yin Xiu walked away on his own, "Maybe it's today's breakfast?" Mrs. Lin was completely speechless. She gave up trying to get Yin Xiu to talk and just let him go. At this time, Yin Xiu had come to Ye Tianwen's side, holding two steamed buns in his hands. Seeing him coming, Ye Tianwen stretched out his hand, but Yin Xiu ignored him and just ate one bite at a time, with hot white steam coming out of his mouth. "Do you know that this is very impolite?" Ye Tian asked with a frown. "What's so rude about that?" Yin Xiu said rudely: "You didn't take it yourself, but someone else took it, and you asked him for it. Is this politeness and courtesy?" "That's not what I'm talking about."
Ye Tianwen gritted his teeth and lowered his voice. "I mean, why did you want to kill all those Faguo people? They have no grudge against you, right?" Yin Xiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "What are you talking about?" "Stop pretending!" Ye Tianwen was very serious, “To be able to kill a cavalry team single-handedly, two masters, you have both courage and skills, and it is necessary. You are the only one in this hundred-mile radius. Yin Xiu, you killed them, right? " Seeing that Ye Tianwen really noticed it, and he lowered his voice, obviously not wanting others to know, Yin Xiu simply admitted it. "Yes, I did." Yin Xiu nodded, "So, are you going to deal with me now?" "Do not." Ye Tianwen shook his head, "I just want to ask you why you do this." "Because their death can prevent more bloodshed, it's that simple." Ye Tian asked with eyes wide open, "Do you think we can't defeat the imperial court, even with the help of the people of Faguo?" "If you can't beat me, you can't beat me." Yin Xiu said seriously: "How many people are there? The people living in the capital of Shu alone are many times more than the tens of thousands of Miao people. Just because the Fa people gave you a few broken guns, you want to take all the Miao people to die together? Just to pave the way for the Fa people, or to conduct an experiment?" "So you want us to willingly submit to the court? For the Governor to bend and kneel before those great men?" Ye Tianwen had obviously considered the consequences of what Yin Xiu said, "I have to take a gamble, maybe if it works this time, we Miao people can turn things around and become the founders of this great empire? In the past, people from the grasslands have been to Yujing more than once, so why can’t they come here?” "Because even you don't want to believe it, and you're not sure you can do it." Yin Xiu saw the emotions hidden behind Ye Tianwen's resolute eyes, "In fact, you just want to fulfill your righteousness. You want to lead all the Miao people to shed your last drop of blood for the ideals of their ancestors. It's that simple." "Rebellion is what our ancestors have been doing for generations." Ye Tianwen did not answer Yin Xiu directly, "I am just doing the same thing. Isn't it normal for the Miao people to rebel? It is the same in any dynasty. Would you go to the grassland and ask people to just herd sheep and not to harvest grass and grain? Or should you go to the deep mountains and rainforests and tell those tribes not to produce grass and not to cut off human heads for sacrifice? It's difficult. This is a huge inertia and it can't be changed by just a word from you or me. It is precisely because of this that the government in Southern Xinjiang is so wary of us and is on guard against us." "But they wouldn't dare to do anything to you, right?" Yin Xiu handed him a flower roll and said, "Because you are dangerous enough, you are also safe enough."
"You mean, you want us to give up our ambition to fight for the world and continue to stay in southern Xinjiang for the rest of our lives?" Ye Tian asked hesitantly. "You will understand it one day. Think about it yourself, and then do it yourself. Others can't help you or persuade you." Yin Xiu jumped down the stairs and walked away with his hands behind his back. "The imperial ambitions are just a joke, life is just a dream!" Ye Tianwen held the flower roll in his hand, and watched Yin Xiu walk away. He finally took a bite of it with resentment, turned around and ordered his men: "Let's set off after breakfast, Yufeng Mountain!" …… Yin Xiu didn't know whether he had convinced or asked Ye Tianwen to change his mind. Anyway, at this time they were still moving towards Yufeng Temple according to the original plan. He rode on the horse, swaying with the rhythm of the horse's movement, and the silver ornaments on Bai Fenghuang's body reflected into his eyes from time to time. "Bai Fenghuang, do girls in Miao villages wear a lot of silver ornaments?" This is true for the White Phoenix and the White Peacock, and also for A Ke. "Of course. Don't the Han Chinese have a saying? It says that a real man should carry eight taels of gold when he goes out, so that he can have support." Bai Fenghuang touched the dangling silver earring and said, "My grandma gave it to me. She said it can keep me safe. I will pass it on to my granddaughter in the future. How is it? Is it beautiful?" Yin Xiu stretched out her hand and held the earring, only to feel a cool breeze passing into her palm. Bai Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, then slapped Yin Xiu's hand away. "I only told you to look, who told you to touch it?" she said angrily. "Sorry, sorry, I thought I could touch it." Yoon Soo clasped his hands together and apologized profusely. At this point, Bai Fenghuang finally calmed down. She thought Yin Xiu didn't know the rules, so she warned him seriously, "Remember, girls' silver jewelry is different from their hands and legs, so you can't touch them casually." "You make it sound like arms and legs will do..." "What can I do?" Bai Fenghuang widened her eyes. "nothing." Yin Xiu waved his hand, indicating to skip this topic. However, Bai Fenghuang still whispered: "If you touch her, it means you want to marry her." Yin Xiu didn't hear it and just thought that Bai Fenghuang really cared about the earrings. After all, when they were fighting before, Bai Fenghuang didn't seem to be that angry. So he could only treat it as a mistake and quickly move away to avoid being caught and scolded by Bai Fenghuang again. Yin Xiu pulled the horse to the other side of the road. At this time, they were actually slowly going up the mountain, and the road had become narrower than before. The surrounding area changed from being flat and low to being high and dangerous. The mountains are high and low, and right at Yin Xiu's feet, there is a cliff just a few feet away.
Yufeng Mountain is one of the mountains east of Jiaozhi and is not very famous. However, because of the news about the elixir and scriptures, people from the Mingyue Divine Sect came here just to search for the secret treasure hidden in Yufeng Temple. After the team marched for a while, Yin Xiu looked at Bai Fenghuang again. She rode her horse, swaying not far from the cliff, and gradually turned the horse's head, or rather followed the horse's pace and direction, heading towards the bottomless abyss. Hey! Yin Xiu quickly pulled Bai Fenghuang off the horse, but the horse kept going forward without making any sound until it fell off the cliff. Pulling back from the brink doesn't seem to happen here. Bai Fenghuang only reacted at this time, and couldn't help feeling scared, and grabbed Yin Xiu's clothes tightly. It was not until Mrs. Lin and Uncle Qingmu arrived that she finally jumped off Yin Xiu's hands embarrassedly, her legs covered in sweat. "what happened?" As Grandma Lin spoke, she waved a piece of talisman paper next to the white phoenix, as if to drive away something. Although Bai Fenghuang was brave and quickly recovered from the shock, she really didn't know what had happened and was speechless for a moment. At this moment, another exclamation was heard from the front of the team. She turned her head and saw two horses falling off the cliff just like before, but Ye Tianwen had already pulled back two of his men who were about to be smashed to pieces, one in each hand. Qing Mubo frowned, glanced at the horse that Yin Xiu was still holding, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, get off the horse!" There was a sound of shoes hitting the ground, and all the horsemen jumped off their horses, landed on the ground and stopped moving. As for the others, they also followed the instructions and put their hands into each other's belts or grabbed each other's shoulders to prevent the other party from getting into trouble. Aoki Bo lit a fire and threw a piece of wood into it. After it started to burn and emitted a thin layer of smoke, Aoki Bo fished it out and placed it on the ground. The wood had been burned into several pieces, and Aoki Bo reassembled them according to a certain pattern and divided them into several piles. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, priests also used the method of roasting tortoise shells with flames and then observing the cracks on the tortoise shells to predict good or bad luck. The ashes left after the burning of that special piece of wood were probably the basis for Aoki Bo's divination. Qing Mubo squatted on the ground and watched for a while, then looked up and asked Ye Tianwen who was standing by: "It's a mountain ghost. We are being targeted by a mountain ghost." There is a saying that mountain ghosts are monsters in the mountains that appear and disappear mysteriously. If they see people going into the mountains to chop wood or collect herbs, they will often play tricks on them, causing them to run into some minor troubles. They enjoy playing tricks on people. Another theory is that mountain ghosts are actually the ghosts of people who died in the mountains. They are extremely violent and have been waiting in the mountains for opportunities to harm people, just to catch a substitute. Judging from the situation just now, they might have encountered the latter. Those evil spirits who attempt to murder other people's lives. However, after hearing that a mountain ghost had appeared, Grandma Lin actually laughed. "Old woman, are you happy that it's haunted?" Yin Xiu rolled his eyes.
"What do you know?" Grandma Lin smiled even more happily. "Doesn't this prove that we are in the right place? If a mountain is lifeless and you say there are elixirs and immortal spirits here, then I'm afraid even you don't believe it, right? However, it is precisely because of the spiritual energy here that mountain ghosts were born! We are not in the wrong place." Of course Yin Xiu knew this saying. Just like when the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Generally speaking, the more spiritual energy a place has, the more monsters and demons there will be lurking. Otherwise, why are there so many blessed places and caves guarded by spirit beasts? Naturally, it is because they are attracted by the spiritual energy inside, and the spirit beasts run over and regard it as their territory. "It's about to kill you, and you're still so happy?" Yin Xiu clasped his hands together, obviously having no intention of attacking. However, Grandma Lin and Uncle Qingmu did not think of asking Yin Xiu for help. If they asked an outsider to help here, wouldn't it make them seem useless? So one of them took out a drum covered with some unknown leather, and the other took out a flute made of unknown material. One was sitting and playing the flute, while the other was holding a drum and beating it in his hands while dancing. With the sound and dance, the atmosphere in the forest also changed. Yin Xiu only felt a layer of goose bumps on the back of his hand because of the coldness. The magic they used was probably from Miao, which was quite similar to the shamanism of Liaodong, but there were obvious differences between the two. As their movements grew larger and their voices became louder, the entire forest seemed to respond to them. In front of Yin Xiu's eyes, the originally lush forest began to distort and turned into colorful lines, and it was like ripples on the colorful water. The colors overlapped layer by layer, and finally all the colors were squeezed together to become lines of various colors, which kept shaking, combining, and separating in front of him. Boom! After Aoki Bo struck the drum hard, someone in the team screamed. Yin Xiu looked over there, and saw that on both sides, many green figures had appeared at some point. They were mountain ghosts with no clothes on. (End of this chapter)
