Origin

"It's haunted?" Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Yu Qingdu, "Why did Chief Yu say this?"

Everyone was currently on the tower on the east side of the city wall. When they heard Wu Zhongyuan's words, Yu Qingdu stretched out his hand and pointed eastward, "In the early years, some people went out to sea to fish. The mast was broken and was swept into the sea by the waves. They drifted with the current for many days. During this period, they had seen the island that the adults mentioned. According to them, that island was shrouded in black mist, eerie and scary, and ghosts cried in the daytime."

"When did this happen?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. Although the old blind man knew the specific location of Turtle Island, he did not personally land on the island. However, the old blind man mentioned that there was fog lingering around Turtle Island.

"It must have been more than thirty years." Yu Qingdu said.

"How many people were on the boat at that time? Are these people still there?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Before Yu Qingdu could answer, Huang Youyun on the side took over, "There are three people who have passed away. One of them is my uncle. He has told me several times about the situation on Turtle Island. I know it." They are more detailed than the clan leader."

"Thank you, Chief Huang." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Huang Youyun relied on the giant crossbow to recall for a moment, and then said, "They did not land on the island back then, but just drifted past the south of the island. Due to the black fog surrounding the island, they could not see clearly what was going on on the island, but I saw that there seemed to be a dilapidated city on the island, and I also vaguely heard the cries and laughter of ghosts and the strange sound of the piano."

"What time of day was it when they drifted near 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 crying and laughing."

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

"It's a woman's voice. It's hard to tell her age," Huang Youyun said, and then added, "She cries and laughs at the same time. It's weird and scary."

Wu Zhongyuan was not in a hurry to ask again. He needed time to sort out the messy clues.

When the old blind man was traveling 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. When he transformed into a body, he could transform weapons together with him. This man lived on Turtle Island.

The old blind man did not land on the island, but he knew that there was a magical fruit on the island that could transform everything outside of him. Since the old blind man did not land on the island, it means that in addition to his own knowledge, these things are also mixed with some hearsay.

However, although the old blind man mentioned that there was a bird on the island that could transform into a man in black, he did not mention that there was a dilapidated city on the island, nor did he mention that there was a woman 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 boats are too small to withstand it."

After Huang Youyun finished speaking, Yu Qing nodded in agreement, "Yes, they floated for more than ten days before reaching the vicinity of Turtle Island. If it hadn't rained heavily during that period and the wind direction suddenly changed in the end, they would have been buried in the sea. ." first release

"How much do you know about the sharks?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Not many. I only know that they are ferocious and aggressive. The current leader is named Zhulang." Yu Qingdu shook his head. "They rarely come to the shore and have little interaction with us."

After speaking in Qingdu, Huang Youyun said, "The area where the sharks are active is in the northeast of here.

They have some interactions with the Bird Clan. If you want to know about them, you can go to the Bird Clan to inquire. "

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. In fact, he knew the general area where the sharks moved, but meeting the sharks was not the main purpose of his trip, and the area where the sharks moved was not in the same direction as Turtle Island.

"What are you going to do on Turtle Island?" Huang Youyun was a little curious.

"Go find something." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

Huang Youyun nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Everyone knew that Wu Zhongyuan was very interested in their crossbows and did not hide anything. Not only did they show him around, they also arranged test firings. The power of the crossbow mainly depends on the tension of the bow string. A crossbow wrapped with dragon tendons can withstand it. Greater pulling force, the range is more than three times that of ordinary bows and arrows. Large-scale base machines are mainly divided into two types: stone throwing and arrow shooting, which can be subdivided into more than a dozen different models. Among them, there are two most powerful ones, one is called Tiangang The crossbow is more powerful than the Zhuge Liannu in later generations. It can shoot thirty-six giant arrows at one time and mainly attacks large targets. There is also a type called the Disha Bow, which can shoot 72 small arrows, covering a large area in a fan shape, and is mainly used to attack groups of small targets.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Although the power is amazing, the production cost is also very high. The wooden body cannot withstand such great force. Most parts need to be cast with metal. At this time, metal is very precious. The cost of manufacturing Tiangang Crossbow and Disha Bow is very staggering. Any One piece requires at least 2,000 kilograms of metal. He had extorted 10,000 kilograms of copper and iron from Taiping Village before, and he could only build five of them with all of them. This also meant that it would be difficult to popularize the Tiangang Crossbow and the Disha Bow in large quantities.

After visiting Gongnu, Yu Qingdu and others took Wu Zhongyuan to visit the stone tower 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, so he could only follow them up one level at a time. Come on, there are seven floors in the stone tower. In addition to a lot of grease and dragon tendons, the skins that had been dried outside were also salted and moved in. Snake skins and dragon skins are also very useful. They can not only be used to make soft armor, but also When making shoes, there were three types of shoes worn by people at this time. Straw sandals were the most common, and most ordinary people wore straw sandals. Leather shoes came second. At this time, leather shoes were not the same concept as modern leather shoes. They could also be called leather bindings. The skins of all animals could be used to make leather bindings. The least common ones are cloth shoes, which are sewn layer by layer with linen and are mostly used by the royal family.

Grease is also widely used. It can not only be used to smelt metals, but also be used for lighting. Flood dragon oil is different from ordinary animal fats. They are more resistant to burning and brighter.

The city of the Yi people was very large, and it took a long time to visit it. After the tour, Wu Zhongyuan took the initiative to go to the cave to worship the ancestors of the Yi people. This was not a pretense, but for peace of mind. This peace of mind was not his peace of mind either. , but to make Yu Qingdu and others feel at ease.

Yu Qingdu and others also had this intention, but they couldn't express it clearly. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's initiative, they followed the trend and fulfilled his wish.

It is natural to have a eulogy for a memorial ceremony. Wu Zhongyuan studied archeology. People who study archeology all know history, and people who know history are least afraid of similar things. First of all, the facts must be clearly stated. To put it bluntly, we are here to apologize and state why we need to take the eulogy. He walked around with the soul-inducing lamp, then put a high hat on the Yi people, and finally made a promise. The implication was that he would work together with the Yi people and work hard to protect the Yi people.

If you are not literate, you cannot speak. Being able to speak is basically literate, and literate people are looked down upon no matter which dynasty or generation they belong to. Hearing Wu Zhongyuan read the eulogy, Yu Qingdu and others admired him very much. , he is worthy of being the reincarnation of the golden dragon. He speaks in a clear manner, calmly and calmly, and has the air of a king.

It was getting late at this time, Wu Zhongyuan stood up to say goodbye, and the Yi people enthusiastically asked him to stay. The enthusiasm at this time was different from the politeness of later generations, but they directly grabbed him and refused to let go, dragging him away.

Wu Zhongyuan thought about it and decided to stay one more night. Although he could see at night and was not afraid of gods and ghosts, there was no need to rush to Turtle Island in the middle of the night. The situation on Turtle Island was quite strange, so it would be better to go there in broad daylight, at least. The light is better than at night.

But he soon regretted staying. During lunch, the Yi people had not yet started to persuade people to drink, but at the dinner party, they started to persuade them to drink. The Yi people had a strong drinking style, and they were also good at persuading people to drink. Do it first as a sign of respect, then stand and wait for him to drink. If he doesn't drink, he won't leave.

Even if you have spiritual energy cultivation, you can't bear to drink like this. The alcohol content at this time is low, probably about 20 degrees, but no matter how low the alcohol content is, it is still wine, not counting the people below, each of the nine clan leaders has one drink. He also drank from the big bowl and became confused. Next time someone came to pay tribute, he would not drink even if he died.

The Yi people have a strange rule. When eating, only men serve at the table, and women stand aside to wait. This rule has also been passed down to modern times. Until modern times, women in this area do not serve at the table, but men do when eating. Take the initiative to leave half of the food for the woman, and only eat more. When eating fish, only eat the front side without turning it over, and take the rest to the woman.

Seeing the men toasting Wu Zhongyuan, Wu Zhongyuan stopped drinking. A group of women came over. They were all young and beautiful women, in their twenties and thirties. They were dressed very grandly and wore various jewelry. They did not use bowls when toasting, but used a kind of Special conch.

Wu Zhongyuan had no intention of drinking anymore. When he saw that special utensils were used when toasting, he was afraid of being cheated, so he refused.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's refusal, each of the nine clan leaders took the conch from one of the women and toasted on their behalf.

Seeing them coming like this, Wu Zhongyuan refused to drink even to death. It was obvious that he wanted to get married to him.

The Yi people regard height as their beauty. Each of these big girls is over 2.23 meters tall, but he is only 1.75 meters tall, which is only as big as someone else’s breasts. Although real men are not afraid of eating fat, this meat is too big. It's so big, how can I eat such a big piece?

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's refusal, the nine clan chiefs were divided into three groups. Each of the three groups raised a bowl of wine as a gift, implying that they would give him three women.

The stalemate lasted until the end, but he still didn't drink. He didn't care whether he was disappointed or not. Sometimes he couldn't save face and suffer the consequences. He should give things he didn't like to others.

Although marriage was normal in ancient times, perhaps the Yi people just wanted to express their hospitality, but Wu Zhongyuan hated this kind of behavior. He always felt a bit like the slaves of the Cixi ladies who "measured China's material resources and married the country's happiness". A nation If we are reduced to using our own women to curry favor with foreigners, this nation will really have a problem.

We said it was dinner, and we ate until about two o'clock in the middle of the night. Seeing the group of pretty girls surrounding the venue and refusing to leave, Wu Zhongyuan didn't dare to stay overnight, so he packed up his things and ran away as if running away...
