Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo

Chapter 22: People from outside the Shiwanda Mountains

Liu Wudi didn't know what was above the Transcendent Realm.

In fact, even at the Transcendent Realm, Liu Wudi only knew a general idea.

He learned this when chatting with the traveling merchants who traveled through the Shiwanda Mountains.

Traveling merchants are the only way for villages in the Shiwan Mountains to communicate with the outside world.

In other words, it is the only way for a village like Liuzhai, which has no high-end combat power, to understand the outside world.

Each team of traveling merchants is followed by more than ten Transcendent Realm warriors.

They would bring items from outside the mountains and trade with people in the mountains.

Most of the transactions are done by barter, and only when there is nothing to exchange for a small part will the payment be made with various currencies.

Fortunately, these traveling merchants have a tacit order, so they will not refuse any kind of currency received by the mountain people.

After all, in the eerie night of the Ten Thousand Mountains, these traveling merchants also need to enter the villages and receive the protection of the magical powers in the mountains.

Liuzhai is also favored by traveling merchants because of the gentleness of the Willow God.

Most of the time, traveling merchants passing through this forest would choose to stay in Liuzhai.

In the past, Huaizhai was also used as a resting place by traveling merchants, but since the transformation of the Huai God, Huaizhai has been eliminated from the list of resting places.

……

"Zhu Shen, I want to go to Liuzhai to check out the situation."

After arranging the tribesmen to work, Liu Wudi proposed to Chen Yao the idea of ​​investigating Liu Village.

Chen Yao thought that he should find out more about it, so he did not refuse.

However, before leaving, Liu Wudi gave Chen Yao a surprise!
Before that, Liu Wudi took out two things and asked Chen Yao to identify whether they were spiritual objects.

At that time, only the fire-colored stone was made into a totem spirit object by Chen Yao. The other jade willow branch had no follow-up because Chen Yao's consciousness was rebounded.

As a result, when Liu Wudi took it out again this time, Chen Yao found that the force that had rebounded him before had disappeared!

After picking up the willow branch with his palm condensed from earth and stone, Chen Yao looked towards the location of the Willow God and seemed to have realized something.

Looking at Liu Wudi who did not leave, Chen Yao thought for a while, consumed ten strands of the fire of faith, made it into a totem spirit object, and gave it to Liu Wudi.

"You can take one more person with you."

"Thank you, God!"

Holding the willow branch, Liu Wudi found Liu Yun and handed the willow branch to him.

As for Liu Shan, his personality and abilities are not suitable for reconnaissance. Instead of taking him out, it is better to keep him here and hone his body with the power of qi and blood!

……

Liu Wudi took Liu Yun all the way towards Liu Village.

There is another reason why Liu Wudi brought Liu Yun with him.

Liu Yun learned a set of martial arts skills that Liu Village had once traded with traveling merchants, called "Willow Catkins Following the Wind".

When Wudi's son was the village chief, in order to get this martial arts book, he directly took out a willow branch that was the same as the one in Liu Yun's arms and exchanged it with a traveling merchant.

But after changing it, I found out in the end that no one could learn this technique.

If Liu Wudi hadn't known that the traveling merchants were corrupt but wouldn't cheat, he would have thought that his son had been cheated!
After that, there was no choice but to have this martial arts book referred to by the core warriors of Liu Village.

But in the end, only Liu Yun learned it.

Precisely because of this martial art, Liu Yun has always been at the forefront among Liu Wudi's confidants.

"Liu Yun, act according to circumstances. If there is any problem, just activate the totem spirit object. Do you understand?"

When they were approaching Liu Village, Liu Wudi gave Liu Yun some instructions.

"understood."

Liu Yun touched the willow branch in his arms and responded.

He had tested it before within the protection range of the Pillar God. With the help of the War Witch Totem, he could perform the Willow Catkins Following the Wind technique at a speed several times faster than when he was in the Body Tempering Stage.

Liu Yun even tried to use his body skills when jumping down from the tree.

What he didn't expect was that with the help of the power of qi and blood, he could actually stay in the air for a breath and even change direction in the air!

This is a level he has never reached before.

It was not until that moment that Liu Yun realized that this book "Willow Catkins Following the Wind" might only be fully effective for warriors in the Transcendent Realm.

Liu Yun even speculated that those peddlers concealed important information, such as... only Transcendent Realm warriors could practice it! And he was able to stand out from the many warriors in Liu Village just because he was more compatible with this technique, and practiced this technique with the cultivation of the Body Forging Realm.

But none of this matters anymore, as now the people of the Willow Clan, with the blessing of the Pillar God, may have a chance to succeed in their cultivation!
By the time……

Liu Yun seemed to see the future prosperity of the Liu people under the protection of the Pillar God!

Soon, Liu Wudi and Liu Yun arrived at a small hill one kilometer away from Liuzhai.

Climbing up a big tree, the two began to observe the situation in Liuzhai.

Originally, Liu Wudi planned to go inside Liu Village to take a look, although he knew that after the protection power of God Liu disappeared, there would be no one alive in Liu Village.

But many of the supplies in Liuzhai are what Liu Wudi urgently needs now.

But now, Liu Wudi looked at the figures coming in and out of the gate of Liu Village and was speechless for a long time.

"Village leader, everyone... everyone is still alive?"

Although Liu Wudi had told Liu Yun to call him clan leader in the future, Liu Yun was so excited at this moment that he called him back to his original title.

In response to Liu Yun's question, Liu Wudi did not answer.

However, his increasingly furrowed brows still revealed his current mood.

"Something is wrong. Willow God's night-lighting lamp went out last night. It is impossible for it to still protect the people in the village!"

Liu Wudi said affirmatively.

"Then these people..."

Liu Yun believed in Liu Wudi's judgment, but a problem arose.

If the Willow God no longer protects everyone, how did these people survive?

"Aren't they from our Liuzhai? Huaizhai?"

Liu Yun suddenly said.

"It's possible, but Huaizhai is quite far from Liuzhai. Even if we move here, it won't be so fast."

Liu Wudi thought for a moment and said to Liu Yun, "Go and find a chance to catch someone who is alone and ask him questions. Then we'll meet up here."

"Remember, you cannot get close to the village, and you cannot expose yourself!"

Liu Yun's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he nodded and said, "I understand."

After saying that, Liu Yun jumped off the tree and disappeared into the jungle.

……

Liu Yun quickly shuttled through the jungle, and in the time it took to stick of incense, he arrived at a small path and hid himself there.

This was one of the few necessary routes for people from Liuzhai to go out hunting and collecting herbs.

Whether or not they are from Liuzhai, the probability of them passing by here is very high.

Now, all Liu Yun has to do is wait.

Half an hour passed.

Liu Yun, who was lying in the bushes with his eyes closed, moved his ears slightly and suddenly opened his eyes.

Slowly pulling aside the bushes in front of him, Liu Yun looked outside through the gap.

After a while, a group of people came into Liu Yun's sight.

But when he saw it clearly, he was stunned.

He did wait for someone, but he was waiting for the wrong person.

The clothes these people were wearing clearly did not belong to either Liuzhai or Huaizhai, or in other words, they did not belong to Shiwandashan!

The group of people were wearing the same red robe with black surface and silver patterns. They held straight and narrow scabbards in their hands and carried bags on their backs which were not small but did not affect their movements. Even the cloud-patterned boots on their feet were better than the best boots Liu Yun had ever seen.

Who are these people?

What are you doing here?
Just as Liu Yun held his breath and watched these people pass by, there was another noise coming from the other side.

This time, not only Liu Yun heard it, but the group of people heard it as well.

Liu Yun just turned his head, and when he looked back again, the group of people coming from outside the mountain in the distance had disappeared.

At this time, two people dressed in Liuzhai style came over, carrying backpacks, medicine sickles and machetes.
