Chapter 0647 bonfire singing party
"Yangcheng Jinwei?! I know that I used to go to Yangcheng in Chongguo with the caravan, which was where the royal family lived, and the soldiers in the city were divided into third-class."
Shang Tianlin said at this time: "The lowest level is the 'Guard Guard', who is in charge of guarding the four gates of the royal city, patrolling the city, etc. The second level is the 'Jin Guard', who is responsible for the security of the inner city of the royal city, and the 'bodyguard' of all royal families has great power. The highest level is the 'Common Lord', who is dedicated to obeying the command of the communist master, but his whereabouts are hidden and ordinary people cannot see it."
Speaking of this, Shang Tianlin paused a little. She took the sign in Guan Heng's hand and looked at it a few times, then continued to say: "This token of Chongguo Jinwei looks real. The original owner either lost the sign or was killed by the bandits, causing the other party to seize this item."
"So that's the case. I'll leave this sign behind. Maybe it's useful in the future." As soon as Guan Heng finished his sentence, he put on the Jinwei token. At this moment, Agou's voice suddenly came from outside the warehouse: "Hey, are you planning to live in it? You can't come out yet?"
"Here's here." Guan Heng and others called back the elephant snake birds and mountain croakers who were continuing to play, and stayed on the main peak Dazhai for a night. The next day, everyone used breakfast and started to pack their luggage and continued on the road.
"After passing Juelong Gorge, we will go around behind the Pit of Ten Thousand Skeletons, and that is the path to continue north."
Shang Tianlin said at this time: "There are two roads that lead to the Weishui tribe of Songguo Mountain. One of them has to pass through the steep and difficult 'Panling Mountain', and the other is a flat path. However, you have to pass by Baiyuan River. There is no ferry on that river. We need to log wood and raft to cross it. Let's talk about where is the right place to go?"
Agou said without hesitation: "Panling Mountain!"
So Guan Heng, who was about to say something to go to Baiyuan River, had to swallow the words he wanted to say, but he asked curiously: "Brother Ah Gou, why did you propose to go to Panling Mountain? Is there a special reason?"
"No." Agou said seriously: "But if we pass by the river, we have to eat fish for lunch. I like to eat meat recently and can't stand the fishy smell."
"Uh..." Hearing this, Guan Heng and the other two almost fell to the ground. In the end, they had to smile bitterly and shook their heads, agreeing to Agou's suggestion.
...
After a while, Guan Heng stood in front of two forks of roads and sighed: "I really convinced Brother Agou, he actually guessed it. Now we just want to go to Baiyuan River but we have no chance."
In front of me, the fork road leading to the Baiyuan River had long been blocked due to the heavy rainfall, and there was no gap to be passed.
"Then let's go to Panling Mountain." Shang Tianlin smiled immediately in the red, "Although the forest is steep, I won't be afraid of having two brothers protect me."
"Haha, your little mouth is really sweet..." Guan Heng just said this, and saw several large trucks walking not far away in front of him, filled with goods such as rice, grain, cloth, and silk, as well as several merchants who looked like traveling with him.
"My brothers, it's been a hard time." Guan Heng saw the other party walking in at this time, and he clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Did you come from Panling Mountain?"
"Yes, little brother, you are going to the Panling Mountain too?" a middle-aged merchant said with a smile: "If I rushed over now, I might encounter good things."
Hearing this, Shang Tianlin immediately became interested. She asked, "Uncle, what good things will we encounter?"
"Oh, there are a few small tribes in Panling Mountain. Every year at this time, they will jointly hold a grand 'bonfire song party'."
The middle-aged merchant smiled and said, "The scene was lively and fun, and the hospitality tribes would keep the travelers from the past to participate and invite them to eat and play together. I participated in the life once last year and still remember it fresh. But today I was rushing to deliver goods, so I had to miss it. You can go and have a look."
After hearing the other party's words, Guan Heng was stunned: "Bonfire Song Meeting?"
After seeing off a few travel merchants, Shang Tianlin and Ruotao immediately said: "This bonfire will sound interesting, how about we go and participate?"
Agou touched his chin and smiled, "If I could have a big meal, I would have no objection."
"Okay, now all three of them agree. If I say 'no', won't you make a fuss?" Guan Heng smiled slightly at this time: "Okay, let's hurry up and hurry up and try to arrive at Panling Mountain's 'Qi Caiping' where the bonfire singing party is held before dark."
"Okay." The group happily headed towards Panling Mountain, but no one expected that Panling Mountain would soon fall into a huge crisis.
...
When Guan Heng and the others continued to rush, they already found that there were more and more men and women wearing colorful clothes on the road, and they thought they would go to the bonfire ceremonies on Qicaiping.
When everyone on the road saw this group of people, they were all amazed: the tall, strong and strong A-gou, with a majestic weapon, Guan Heng, who was wearing a ghost-swalking tiger, Ruotao, who was wearing a half-gold-foil mask, Shang Tianlin, who was riding a red horse, and the elephant snake bird, and the sharp-billed mountain turtle. They were all kinds of strange and beautiful and ugly.
There were many people on the way, and Guan Heng soon started chatting with a young man named Wu Lin, who lived in a nearby village, and learned a lot about the bonfire singing party from the other party.
It turned out that there were special reasons why tribes near Panling Mountain wanted to hold this bonfire. More than a hundred years ago, Panling Mountain had poor mountains and bad waters, and few people lived in it. Later, due to war, there were more and more small tribes who moved here to famine.
However, since ancient times, Panling Mountain has been a place where evil and evil spirits are rampant. People from small tribes rarely go out at night, for fear of being attacked by ghosts. More than ten years ago, this situation suddenly encountered a major change.
The ghosts that originally only dared to wander around at night seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation and even dared to come out to hang out during the day. After catching living people, they swallowed blood and internal organs, causing several nearby villages to be frightened day and night.
Later, a village clan leader came up with an idea to let all the young people in the village gather together, light countless bonfires near the colorful ping of Panling Mountain, where ghost activities are most rampant, and roared loudly, shocking the ghosts with the momentum of a large number of living people, so that they dare not come out and harm people at will.
In general, the effect of this idea is quite good. After holding a bonfire meeting, the things that ghosts harm people have dropped sharply, so the tradition has been maintained, and it has evolved into today's bonfire song party, which has become a grand event for young men and women nearby to get to know each other and have a song together.
Guan Heng asked Wu Lin at this time: "Then, are there any ghosts nearby who can eat people?"
