Chapter 61: Black Rock Miao Village
I thought that man was going to storm at Ling Ruxue, but after being scolded by Ling Ruxue, he was so embarrassed that he didn’t dare to speak.
Ling Ruxue no longer paid any attention to that person, but took two clothes from her luggage and put them under my head. Then she leaned back a little more comfortably, and only then stood up. This action caused Bu Zhou to “bark” again.
I felt happy, looking at the blue sky, very comfortable. Your woman? It’s just your wishful thinking, isn’t it?
I didn’t dare to hope that the cold Ling Ruxue was mine, but I knew clearly that I definitely didn’t want her to be someone else’s. This psychology is really strange, but I don’t feel wrong at all. But I don’t want to delve into why, I’m afraid that getting along with me will give me a ‘frightening’ answer.
Ling Ruxue walked silently to Bu Zhou and said, “If I were to cure you of the five-colored silkworm, it would undoubtedly be a loss of face for you. He is infected, you are infected, you cure each other.”
Bu Zhou snarled, “I’m not afraid. Let’s just keep going. Who’s afraid of who?”
Ling Ruxue sighed and said, “Buzhou, from what I know about you, if you had the power to kill him, you would definitely do it. Since you don’t dare, why be so aggressive? What is so lovable about a man who is brave but not smart?”
After saying that, Ling Ruxue didn’t say much to Bu Zhou, but turned around and came back, pulling over Huigen and teasing him: “Little round egg, you still know Shaolin kung fu?”
I laughed heartily at the thought that Ling Ruxue, a woman, would call Huigen “Little Round Egg.” She was originally as distant as a solitary orchid on a cliff, unattainable. This nickname “Little Round Egg” undoubtedly made me feel that the distance had been instantly shortened, as if I had found a way to climb that cliff.
Facing my laughter, Bu Zhou’s face was uncertain. Perhaps he was too concerned about Ling Ruxue’s words. In the end, he accepted Ling Ruxue’s suggestion.
He used a special powder to cure me of the curse. After I had recovered a little, I used a special method to gather the yang qi and break the power of the curse.
However, everyone was not better off. After the curse was lifted, the pain was not recovered for a long time. I was in great pain. As for Bu Zhou, after the curse was lifted, after all, the evil spirits had wrapped around his body, and it would take time to recover. He was still weak and tired, not much different from an old man in his seventies or eighties. At most, he could move freely.
Things have come to this point, and it can be considered over, but is it really over? It’s just the beginning.
Buzhou originally came with people and horses to greet Ling Ruxue, but after the commotion, he was not happy. After getting up and being helped onto the horse, he said, “The mountain road is difficult to travel. In order to pick you up, I brought two horses down. You can follow me.”
The tone was like he was doing Ling Ruxue a great favor. The meaning was clear: I’m doing this because you’re my woman, and I pity you.
I thought to myself, “Pah!” Who asked you to bring the horses down?
Bu Zhou didn’t even look at me, and after he finished talking to himself, he had someone ride in front of him, led his horse around, and walked away. I felt a burst of joy in my heart, letting you be proud, now you’re so weak that you can’t even ride a horse, right?
After Bu Zhou and his entourage left, they left us with two horses. I first put Hui Gen on the horse, then I got on the horse myself. After sitting down, I said, “He still has a conscience. He brought me a horse too.”
Ling Ruxue had already mounted her horse and was waiting in front of me. When she heard me say this, she said lightly, “He was just thinking that if he only brought one, what if I wanted to ride with you?”
I simply shut up. Although we had only had a short encounter, I had already sensed that Bu Zhou was a domineering, stingy, and extremely possessive person, and he really might have thought that.
But at the same time, I felt very uncomfortable. Why didn’t Ling Ruxue refute Bu Zhou’s claim that she was his woman? What was the secret behind it?
I was riding along, thinking about these things, and I was a little irritated. I just kept thinking about it until Hui Gen in my arms exclaimed, and I came back to my senses.
At this time, I looked up and almost couldn’t help but exclaim. In my original impression, the location of the evil Miao village of Heiyan should be a gloomy place with poor mountains and bad water.
But I never imagined that after walking along the road, I would end up at the foot of a solitary mountain. This solitary mountain is not connected to other mountains to form a mountain range, but stands alone, far higher than other mountains.
The mountain is steep, the mountain is lush with trees, and the top of the mountain is shrouded in mist, which gives it a touch of the fairyland. There is only one cobblestone road that is very domineering, paved in the middle of the mountain, soaring straight up!
At this time, Bu Zhou and his entourage were already riding their horses up the mountain, and Ling Ruxue had also mounted her horse and set off up the mountain road. Looking at this beautiful mountain scenery, I couldn’t help but sigh that such a beautiful place was actually home to such an evil village. Then I also galloped after Ling Ruxue and rode side by side with her.
I didn’t see the Black Rock Miao Village, but there were lush green trees here. If the village was hidden in the mountains, it would not be easy to find. Ling Ruxue rode beside me and suddenly said, “You and Bu Zhou are fighting one-on-one, and you have nothing to fear.”
I laughed and said, “That’s right. If they wanted to kill me, they would have done it already. Do you think these people are afraid of the secular law? I’m going to be a hostage in this village. It’s not a good day anyway. To avoid being bullied too badly, it’s better to give them a warning first! Anyway, they wouldn’t dare kill me.”
Ling Ruxue snorted and said, “Compared to a few years ago, you’re not as stupid, but you’re also becoming more and more like your master, a rogue.”
“Hahaha…” I laughed happily. She knew nothing. My master liked to hear people say that he was a scoundrel. He told me that a scoundrel doesn’t take things seriously and that a scoundrel can take advantage of others. So what if I’m a little scoundrel?Taoist priest
When I stood at the entrance to the Miao village of Heiyan, I was completely shocked. I had originally thought that the village was built in the mountains, but I didn’t expect the entire village to be built on top of the mountain, hidden among the green trees and bushes on the mountain top.
The top of the mountain is full of traces of artificial excavation. It can be seen that there should not have been such a large flat area here, but it was transformed into such a place by people over the generations, like a small plain on the top of the mountain.
One side of the village faces the cobblestone road that we climbed along the mountain, and the other side is a steep cliff. In the ancient era of cold weapons, such a village was truly a place that could not be breached by a single man, and even in modern times, it is a difficult military stronghold to take.
At the same time, I also understood why this village was called the Black Rock Miao Village, because the village was surrounded by large blocks of black rock, and it was impossible to tell what kind of stone it was. This also made me admire the ancestors of this village. What kind of power did they have to be able to transport such huge rocks one by one up the mountain?
Ling Ruoxue dismounted, and I followed suit, carrying Huigen down. We couldn’t not dismount, because there were already more than a hundred people gathered at the entrance to the village, all of them tough men.
In front of these hundred people stood three people: two men and a woman. The man on the left was very strong, and his bulging muscles were about to burst through his clothes. In addition to the fierce aura, there was also a murderous aura of self-righteousness in his eyes. I sensitively felt that this person was afraid that someone’s life was in his hands.
His eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Bu Zhou’s. I guess this is Bu Zhou’s father. What luck I have! In the modern world, I met the prince and then immediately saw the king!
On the right was a woman, who looked to be in her forties or fifties, with a fair complexion and flowing eyes. She was supposedly a charming middle-aged woman, but I always felt that this woman had some evil aura about her, and I didn’t like her.
As for the one in the middle, he is an old man. Just one glance at him reminded me of the great shaman of the Miao village in Yueyan. He is as old and as skinny as the great shaman. The strange thing is that I only saw his white beard and hair, and I felt that he was old. I couldn’t see a single wrinkle on his face.
