Chapter 369 The Missing Mountain God
[Martial Arts] In the world, the local aborigines of Guandong are called the Jueyan tribe. They have made a living by fishing and hunting for generations. Their folk customs are strong, they embrace shamanism, and they use animals in the mountains and forests as their totem.
As more and more people from the Central Plains come out of the customs, the Jueyan people are gradually becoming civilized. More and more Jueyan people have given up their original relatively primitive living habits, especially in the south near Juehou Pass. Jueyan people, relying on the large plains and fertile land, also began to cultivate farmland, build villages and cities, live with the Central Plains people, and enter the customs for trade.
After years of mixed living, most Jueyan people in the south can no longer see the difference from the Central Plains people.
But further north, where the climate is colder, the mountains are more rugged, and the forests are denser, there are still many Jueyan tribes who respect their traditions.
Now, standing in the front hall of Baicao Chamber of Commerce, these people wearing animal skins are the Jueyan tribe from the north in the mountains!
"Girl, please don't talk nonsense..." Seeing that the girl from the Jueyan tribe was holding the ginseng and not letting go, Lu Youcai immediately called for someone, and the bodyguards from the chamber of commerce came and surrounded several Jueyan tribesmen. .
"This medicinal material was collected by our medicinal collectors from the deep mountains. Could it be that your uncle Chang grew medicinal materials in the deep mountains and wild forests?" Lu Youcai sneered: "As far as I know, you These Jueyan people in the north don’t even know how to grow food, let alone medicinal materials..."
"Uncle Chang is not a human being!" The girl from the Jueyan tribe argued: "Uncle Chang is us. The mountain god, the medicinal materials you have here are all from his valley!”
“Mountain...Mountain God?” Lu Youcai looked dumbfounded: “Girl, I respect your beliefs, but as the saying goes, He said, "There are gods three feet above your head. According to you, every mountain in the world has a mountain god, and every river has a river god. Doesn't that mean that the trees on the mountain and the fish in the river all have their own owners?" Things, those of us living between heaven and earth will only starve to death..."
"These differences!" The girl continued to argue: "These medicinal materials were carefully cultivated and cared for by Uncle Chang all year round... Now, the medicinal materials have been poached by you, and Uncle Chang has disappeared... What have you done to Uncle Chang? What? "
At the mention of this, the girl blushed, and the Jueyan tribe behind him also looked sullen, with their hands on the handles of the knives at their waists.
"Wait..." After hearing this, Luo Jun walked up: "You said, these medicinal materials are personally taken care of by your mountain god?"
The girl looked at Luo Jun, There was doubt in his eyes: "Who are you?"
Luo Jun smiled and said: "I am the herb collector who brought these medicinal materials."
Hearing what he said, the girl's bright eyes showed anger: "You are the medicine thief!"
"Eh?" Luo Jun raised his hand: "If you have something to say, let me go and collect the medicine. When I was there, I didn’t see anyone, I didn’t see any mountain gods, and I didn’t dig it secretly.”
“Impossible!” The girl said angrily: “How many years have passed since then? , Uncle Chang has never left the valley, and now the medicinal materials are missing together with his old man. Since the medicinal materials were dug up by you, you must know the whereabouts of Uncle Chang."
"I really haven't seen any mountain gods? ..." Luo Jun spread his hands, suddenly stunned, and then frowned: "Wait a minute...what kind of Uncle Chang are you talking about?"
The girl said: "Uncle Chang is Mo Shan? Mountain God, the Dharma is a giant snake!”
As soon as these words came out, Luo Jun and Lu Youcai both widened their eyes, giant snake?
So it seems that the giant snake that Luo Jun killed for its bile was the so-called mountain god?
Because it was difficult to sell, the snake gallbladder was not put on the auction house. Instead, through Xu Bo's relationship, he contacted the heads of the martial arts sects individually to find a sale. Therefore, these people from the Jueyan tribe did not sell it. I didn’t see Uncle Chang’s courage from the treasures announced by the Chamber of Commerce.
So, I killed a god?
While feeling ridiculous in his heart, Luo Jun couldn't help but look at the girl opposite with some embarrassment. As a group of relatively primitive ethnic minorities, it is not unusual for the Jueyan people to worship powerful animals as mountain gods. Luo Jun has no guilt about killing a big snake... But after all, this is their belief. In front of others, he really doesn't know what to do. Admit...
"Have you seen Uncle Chang?" The girl keenly caught the change in Luo Jun's expression: "Where is Uncle Chang? He is already nine hundred and ninety-nine years old, and he still has one year to go. Soaring into the sky and transforming into a dragon, our tribe will grow stronger with his blessings! Tell me, where has Uncle Chang gone?"
"This..." Luo Jun said with some hesitation. I said it’s all feudal superstition, do you agree?”
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand!” The girl continued to ask about Uncle Chang’s whereabouts: “Tell me, where is Uncle Chang?”
Just when Luo Jun didn't know how to answer, a roar from ancient times suddenly came from the north!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
This roar was different from any animal cry I had heard before. When the sound sounded, the entire Baicao Chamber of Commerce, and even the entire ground of Ba Dao Ji, began to tremble slightly. ……
Earthquake? No, feeling the shaking under his feet, a ridiculous idea suddenly came to his mind.
This is the earth shaking with fear!
Because, along with this roar, there is also a powerful pressure!
This terrifying coercion made the people in the Eight Paths Collection at this time, whether they were ordinary people buying and selling medicinal materials, or martial arts knights traveling by, their feet became weak and they collapsed unconsciously, and their whole bodies trembled!
Even Luo Jun felt his heart beat a few times for no reason!
This coercion comes from the genetic instinct, the fear of superior creatures!
Luo Jun was like this. Lu Youcai and the bodyguards and thugs from the Chamber of Commerce were naturally unable to hold on for a long time. They either fell to the ground and twitched, or ran away with their heads in their hands.
In contrast, the few indigenous people of the Jueyan tribe were not intimidated by the coercion.
But looking at their reactions, they seemed to be even more frightened.
"It's Li Mazi!" Several people looked at the sky with horrified faces: "Li Mazi has come out of seclusion!"
"Who is this Li Mazi?" Luo Jun was confused. Suddenly I noticed that a large group of dark clouds floated from the north and instantly enveloped the sky above Badaoji. Then, with a sound of thunder, heavy rain poured down...
"The power of clouds and rain... "Several Jueyan tribe members rushed out of the front hall and stood in the yard, looking up at the sky despite the heavy rain, with shock on their faces: "Li Mazi, he succeeded?"
Success? What is success?
Luo Jun also came to the yard and looked up at the thunderous dark clouds. A slender and huge figure was leaping and rolling in it, looming.
Could it be that... Luo Jun suddenly remembered what a classmate said in casual chat before coming to participate in the internship.
“I heard that dragons really exist in the [Martial Arts] world!”
