Origin

When I went back to pack, there was actually nothing to pack. I just wanted to bring some dry food, weapons, bows and arrows, and a change of clothes.

It takes more than a month to walk from Daqiu to the Fox Clan, and we have to pass through many places on the way. To avoid unnecessary complications, we cannot wear warrior clothes and wear casual clothes instead.

Wu Zhongyuan packed his bags and was about to go out when A Luo came back. He held the bow and arrow in his right hand, and in his left hand was a wooden magic tablet that recorded the Dong Shen Qi training method.

"You came back just in time," Wu Zhongyuan waved to A Luo, "If you don't know how to read, come with me and I'll find someone to teach you."

A Luo nodded, but she did not follow Wu Zhongyuan immediately. Instead, she turned around and ran into the house.

When she came out again, she had a small cloth bag in her hand. She ran a few steps to catch up with Wu Zhongyuan and handed the small cloth bag to him.

"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

"Ma Ji." A Luo said.

Wu Zhongyuan took the small cloth bag and opened it to take a look. Inside the bag was a plant rhizome about the size of a taro. This thing tastes similar to water chestnuts and has a high water content. It can be used as fruit in winter when fruits are scarce.

Wu Zhongyuan kept a few and returned the rest to A Luo, "You keep it to eat."

A Luo didn't answer and pushed back.

Wu Zhongyuan passed it again, and A Luo pushed it back again.

Wu Zhongyuan had no choice but to take them all, and then took A Luo to the post field. While walking, he told her the key points of archery. A Luo was left-handed and was good at shooting with the left hand. There was a big difference between shooting with the left hand and shooting with the right hand. Different, whether it is shaking the wrist or rotating the fingers, they are all in the opposite direction.

When you arrive at Deyi Station, tell the old secretary to teach Aluo how to read. Then go to the stable and bring Bai Nozhi out. Since you are going to exchange for grain, you have to bring something easy to exchange. Daqiu's Silk and dye are very popular among the small tribes in the south. Things weighing hundreds of kilograms cannot be carried on their backs. They have to be carried on horses.

There were no highways at this time, and there were not even roads in many places. The roads were not easy to walk over mountains and ridges, and even good horses could not run. White noses were very useful.

After loading the goods, I went to call Wu Dalee to go on the road. Wu Dalee was still hungover and wanted to postpone his departure until the afternoon. Wu Zhongyuan kept urging, but Wu Dalee could only yawn and set off with him.

A Luo followed them to see them off. Wu Zhongyuan asked her to go back many times, but she refused to listen and continued until she reached the edge of the woods.

He stood there and watched the two of them go away.

"This little thing doesn't make any noise. Aren't you bored watching such a boring gourd all day long?" Wu Dalie was yawning again.

"It's not bad, I haven't been too busy lately." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"I'm telling you, the way she looks at you isn't right." Wu Dalie said with a smile.

"Huh?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned and looked at him.

"Can't you see that this little thing likes you?" Wu Darie asked back.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Wu Dalee with contempt, "You're not sober, are you? How old is she?"

"Hey," Wu Dalie curled his lips, "If you like it, just keep it for yourself. I'm pretty good at judging women. This little thing is a bit darker, but it's a beautiful embryo. It's just that it hasn't grown yet. You can see it again in a few years." she."

Wu Zhongyuan clicked his tongue and frowned, but did not answer his question.

Wu Darie continued, "You have to believe in my vision. I will tell you a trick. All girls who have a neutral face when they are young will be very beautiful when they grow up."

His words successfully earned Wu Zhongyuan's contempt.

"You don't believe it, this is based on experience." Wu Darie said.

"You are just a wife, where do you get the experience?" Wu Zhongyuan said.

At this time, it was more shameful to have only one wife, and the reason why Wu Dalie had one wife was not because he didn't want to marry more, but because his wife was jealous and would not let him marry more.

Upon hearing that Wu Zhongyuan was going to talk about something against his wife, Wu Darie hurriedly changed the subject, "My lord, haven't you come to see you recently? Then why has there been no news about the good things?"

Wu Zhongyuan knew what Wu Daley was referring to, "I didn't find it."

Wu Dalie said, "Don't worry, Daqiu has encountered such a thing, it is really not appropriate to hold a happy event now."

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, but he was not anxious at all. Not only was he not anxious, he was relieved.

With the benefit of the Qi-boosting elixir given by Wu Zhongyuan, Wu Dalie has been promoted to the Deep Blue Cave a few days ago, a full five levels higher than Wu Zhongyuan. Although his spiritual energy cultivation and status are higher, his relationship with Wu Zhongyuan is closer. The reason is very simple. , Wu Zhongyuan not only saved his life, but also gave him pills to help him advance into the deep blue cave.

It is said that distance can tell a person's strength, and time can tell a person's heart. In fact, the length of time you spend together has no direct relationship with whether you know a person well. Usually everyone can pretend to be someone, but unless you encounter something, you will never be able to tell who your real friend is. .

There is only one step away from the deep blue cave and the lavender mountain. Wu Dalie is now considered a quasi-master. He is in a good mood for this trip. He walks in front with his hands behind his back. Wu Zhongyuan walks behind with two bags on his back, and he has to hold hands. horse.

Wu Dalie had been to the south once before and knew about the situation of the Fox Clan. Wu Kui did not remember the situation of the Fox Clan. Wu Kui didn't know about it, so he didn't know either, so he asked Wu Dali out of curiosity.

According to Wu Daley, the situation of the Fox tribe is somewhat similar to that of the Ox tribe. They can transform into animal bodies and human forms. However, the Ox tribe is itself a human being and will only transform into an animal body when fighting. However, the Fox tribe does not. With human blood, they are foxes, but they usually appear in the form of humans, and they also look like humans when sleeping at night, but if they are injured or drunk, they will show their true form.

In addition, the foxes of the fox tribe are not the same species as modern foxes. They are very big, weighing one or two hundred pounds when they are adults. Although they cannot practice Qi, they have a long lifespan and can slowly gather the spiritual energy of the world. As spiritual energy gathers in the body, the color of their fur will also change. Foxes without spiritual energy cultivation will have gray fur, and going up to the third level will have nine colors. The deeper the Taoism, the more beautiful the woman who transforms into a female fox, and the more beautiful a man who transforms into a male fox. The more handsome he becomes,

However, their changes cannot cross gender. To put it bluntly, males cannot change into women, and females cannot change into men, and they can only change one look. Only thousand-year-old demon foxes who have reached Taixuan cultivation level can change at will, but they still cannot cross gender. Variety.

What Wu Zhongyuan was most curious about was whether the fox girl could be charming. Wu Dalie smiled and replied, "You'll know when you go." ’

The two of them didn't walk very fast. At noon, people came from behind. They were the people from the city who had gone to Daqiu to select warriors. There were so many people that it was inconvenient for the two of them to talk. So they walked with the others and stayed in Pingye that night. At this time, the names of the Bear Clan's walled cities were all big, such as Daqiu, Daze, and Dachuan. And the cities and towns to which Daqiu belongs are all flat, flat, plain and so on.

At this time, Wu Dalie was the second most important person in Daqiu, and the city must treat him well. He drank from cup to cup until midnight. He drank too much and slept until noon the next day.

After waking up, Wu Dalie took him to the place where people raised livestock and picked out their livestock, including cattle, sheep, and even pigs and chickens.

"Isn't it appropriate?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned, how could this guy act like a corrupt official, eating and taking things at the same time?

"What do you know?" Wu Dalie said casually.

"We are going south, not back to Daqiu. What do we need livestock for?" Wu Zhongyuan said.

"These are just money to buy the road." Wu Dalie said.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know why and tilted his head to look at him.

But Wu Dalie was busy picking livestock and didn't explain too much to him.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them set out on the road "with their families in tow". There had been people around them before, so it was not convenient for Wu Zhongyuan to ask. When they reached a place where no one was around, he asked, "When did our Bear Clan fall to this point?" Already?"

"What are you talking about?" Wu Dalie pointed at the animals tied in a string.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

"What's so shameful about giving them gifts?" Wu Dali said.

At this time, he and she were pronounced differently. Wu Zhongyuan was very curious when he heard what Wu Dali said. "Is it a wild beast that is blocking the road?"

"It can't be considered as blocking the road," Wu Dalie said, "If we want to pass through someone else's territory, we have to give them some gifts."

"What kind of beast can't you defeat?" Wu Zhongyuan wondered.

"It's not that we can't defeat them, but we don't want to create extra problems, not to mention that in some places we have to rely on others to help us open the way." Wu Dalie said this without any confidence.

Wu Zhongyuan did not ask again. Although he had never walked this route, he knew from Wu Kui's memory that humans were not currently in a dominant position. Many ancient beasts had terrifying powers, and some could even easily destroy a city.

Wu Zhongyuan led the horse, and behind the horse was a cow tied to it. The cow was carrying a chicken cage, and there were sheep and pigs behind it.

Halfway through, the pigs ran away, and we had to chase them out. In the past, the pigs were all black-haired, and the white-haired pigs were Landrace and Duroc. They were all introduced from abroad after the founding of the People's Republic of China. They did not exist in ancient times. They are all black-haired, small in size, only about seventy or eighty pounds, they run very fast, and they bite when you catch them.

At nightfall, the two of them arrived at the southern boundary of Daqiu, which is also the southern boundary of the Bear Clan. To the south are endless mountains. The use of mountains and mountains is no longer enough to describe the dangerous mountains in the distance. It is difficult to imagine unless you have seen it with your own eyes. What did the mountain peaks look like at this time? If the modern mountain peaks are smooth washed pebbles, the mountain peaks at this time are just quarried rocks.

The total population at this time was only a few million at most, which is a few percent of the total modern population. Without human deforestation and destruction, the trees in the forest would continue to grow, and trees as thick as a few arms could be found everywhere. As long as If it doesn't die, it will keep growing. Looking ahead, the entire Himalayas are covered with the Amazon jungle.

As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. Standing at the edge of the dense forest, what Wu Zhongyuan thought about most was how many unknown creatures must be hidden in such a big forest.

A mountain path winds into the depths of the jungle. After a brief look, the two of them followed the path into the jungle.

Spring had just begun at this time, the temperature was very low, most of the trees had no leaves, and the branches stretched out strangely, adding a bit of horror and eeriness.

It was very hard to drive at night. The mountain road was narrow and we couldn't walk fast. By midnight, we probably had only traveled more than 20 miles.

"If I could fly across the sky, I wouldn't have to work so hard." Wu Zhongyuan sighed.

"Flying through the air cannot always stay in the sky. You always need to fall down and borrow strength. It is best to have the power of a bird's feet. Unfortunately, only wizards can have that thing." Wu Dalie said, "I have no chance in this life. You March 3rd If you go to the capital, you can try your luck. If you have pure Yang blood, you can hope to become a wizard."

"What's the difference between a wizard and a warrior?" Wu Zhongyuan asked knowingly.

"Warriors can only use martial arts techniques, while wizards can not only use martial arts, but also cast spells." Wu Dalie said.

"I'm not from the Bear Clan, so I can't be of pure Yang blood." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"That's not necessarily true," Wu Dalie said, "Pure Yang bloodline is different from royal bloodline. It has nothing to do with race. Anyone can have it. It just depends on the amount of Yang Qi in the blood. The minimum is one, and the maximum is nine. However, people have six Yangs. Chief, Six Yang must be at the extreme level, Nine Yang is probably just a rumor."

As soon as Wu Dalie finished speaking, Jie Jie's strange laughter suddenly came from around him, "Hehehehehe, you mortal with naked eyes..."
