Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 365 Naxi Tribe

Toast!

I couldn't help but startled, I know the meaning of this word. It is said that during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the imperial court set up a kind of native official in the southwest and northwest minority areas to help the court manage the local ethnic minorities and possess great power. , equivalent to the local emperor.

It's just that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, hasn't the chieftain system been completely banned across the country?What is the meaning of the chieftain's territory that old man Li said?This Lijiang is an autonomous region of the Naxi people, could it be the chieftain of the Naxi people?

When I asked again, there was something taboo about this old Li's avatar, and if he didn't answer, even if he spoke, he would just warn us not to make trouble.This can't help but make me more suspicious, and I am more sure that the master's whereabouts may have a great relationship with this stone city.

After about a few hours, the car entered the Jinsha River Grand Canyon. There is no road here. If we want to go up the mountain, we have to abandon the vehicle and walk up.

Walking on the rugged mountain road, Ah Zhao and Old Wu couldn't stop complaining, while Old Man Li was in good health despite his age, walking in front and constantly guiding us in the direction.

Not long after, amidst the roar of the Jinsha River in the canyon, a city finally appeared in our distance.

The whole city is built on an independent, huge mushroom-shaped rock. The walls are steep and sharp like a knife. The place is really a situation where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it.

"Okay, you just go along this road. Give me the money now." Old man Li stopped and spread his hands towards us.

Azhao said with some displeasure: "You old man is really dishonest, why don't you take us there anyway, who knows if what you said is true or not, what if there is a cliff in front of you and you can't get through."

I know that Azhao is deliberately troubling old man Li, but now I am worried that Master is eager, and I don't want to delay too much, so I just reached out and took 500 yuan from my pocket to old man Li.

The old guy withdrew his hand in satisfaction, and before leaving, he said to Ah Zhao tentatively: "That little brother is still refreshing, young man, remember, sometimes misfortune comes from the mouth, and opening your mouth can hurt you." Killed."

Ah Zhao was furious, and when he wanted to say more, I stopped him.At this time, it is still important to hurry. Seeing the back of old man Li disappear into the jungle, the few of us hurried towards Stone City along the direction.

"Master, I feel that something is wrong ahead." When I was about to approach Stone City, Longzhu took my hand and said, she was wearing a pair of small sunglasses on her face at the moment, and she looked a little cute.

Naturally, I knew about the specialness of Longzhu, and coupled with what was wrong with old man Li just now, I became more vigilant in my heart.Immediately, I used the technique of looking forward to look forward, and my face suddenly changed, because the changes in front of me were somewhat unexpected.

What appeared on the stone city was not the cloudy atmosphere and rising ghost fog that I had guessed, but a golden light and a trace of dragon steaming, which seemed to have a sense of sacredness.

"Dragon Vein!"

I whispered to myself, I didn't expect a dragon vein to appear in this stone city.These days, dragon veins seem to be free of money, appearing in front of me one after another, making me a little numb.

Xiaobai, who had been lying in his backpack and sleeping late, also seemed to be attracted by the dragon's veins. He poked his head out of the backpack and looked at Stone City.

"Xiaobai, can you tell the type of this dragon vein?" I asked curiously.

Xiaobai shook his head and said, "It's too far away, you can only feel it when you're really close, and I always feel that this dragon vein seems to be a little different, you have to be more careful."

I nodded, and the vigilance in my heart became more intense, because I also noticed that this dragon vein seemed to be different from the ones I saw before, but I couldn't tell exactly what was different.

A group of people stumbled and walked on the mountain road for about ten minutes before finally entering the gate of the stone city.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw a few girls in Naxi costumes playing around in front of several houses.I just wanted to go up to ask questions, but they saw us as if they had seen a ghost, ran into the house in a panic and hid, and closed the door.

"Hey, these little girls are a sign of life, but unfortunately they are too timid." Ah Zhao said, licking his lips.

I was a little helpless. Although I had already entered the stone city mentioned in Master's letter, I had no idea what to do next.Did Master encounter danger in this stone city?Didn't he go after the people from the Mu Palace? Why did he come here again? Could it be that the people from the Mu Palace are hiding in this stone city?

I had a lot of thoughts in my mind, and in the end I decided to find the person in charge in the stone city first, and ask about the situation.

But what made me speechless was that as we walked on the streets of Stone City, those Naxi people saw us hiding in the house like plague gods and ignored us at all.

"The Japanese ancestors are strict. Didn't they say that the girls from Yunnan are as beautiful as pearls, and the beauties of the Naxi nationality are as passionate as fire. Why do you run away when you see us?" Ah Zhao complained.

"Azhao, don't talk nonsense. Don't forget what the old man said. But I also feel that something is wrong. Brother Chen, if you have something to do, hurry up. I think it's better for us to leave here as soon as possible. This barren mountain Well, we are foreigners again." Old Wu said with some worry, he was a little older, and he was doing things more calmly than he was supposed to.

Before I could reply, Azhao said with some displeasure: "Hey, you old Wu is just afraid of getting into trouble, don't forget that we are not vegetarians, if they annoy the young master, you can't say it..."

"Can't say what to do?" An old voice came.

A Zhao replied reflexively: "Of course I want to teach them a lesson."

After finishing speaking, Ah Zhao also felt that something was wrong, and quickly turned his gaze to the direction where the voice came from. An old man in quaint Naxi costume was standing there with a cane.

My body was a little creepy, and I stared at this old man closely, because before this old Naxi man appeared, I didn't feel anyone approaching.You must know that after the awakening of my blood, the five senses have improved a lot, and I can even feel the mosquitoes approaching me all the time. This old man can avoid my senses, so I am afraid that he is not a character to be provoked.

"Hehe, are you going to teach us a lesson..."

The Naxi old man said in a dark tone, even though the sun was shining brightly at the moment, there was still a layer of goose bumps on everyone's body.

I grabbed Ah Zhao who was still talking, and quickly apologized to the old man: "Just now our brother was joking, he just said it casually, old man, don't take it seriously."

I looked at the old man carefully. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his beard and hair are all white. He looks a bit energetic.

The Naxi old man nodded noncommittally, and said, "I don't know what you guys are doing here. This remote village doesn't have anything good to entertain you."

I thought about it for a while, and said tentatively: "Mr., a companion of ours disappeared near Stone City a few days ago, so we came here specifically to look for him. I wonder if the old man has heard of related information? "

After hearing what I said, the old Naxi man narrowed his eyes and his expression changed slightly.

I was instantly overjoyed, the old guy really knew it, and it really didn't take much effort to find nowhere to go.

"Sorry, I haven't heard of the companion you mentioned."

The Naxi old man opened his mouth to deny it, and at the same time said to us lightly: "It's getting late today, I'm afraid you should go back early, if it's night, it's not very safe in the barren mountains and mountains."

I almost didn't choke on his words, the sun is high in the sky at this moment, it's just noon, why is it getting late, it's clear that he wants to drive us away, and the old man's last sentence made me stay The threat made me even more certain that the problem might be on him.

I simply followed his words and said: "Yes, it's getting late today, and we are a little tired from the journey. I wonder if we can go to the old gentleman's house to ask for some food and drink. This is a small request, should the old gentleman agree?" Will refuse."

"We..." Ah Zhao next to him didn't know why, and wanted to speak, but was immediately covered by Old Wu, who motioned him not to move.

I stared at the old man tightly with my eyes, and my heart was extremely vigilant.

But what surprised me was that the old man gave me a blank look, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go to the old man's house to ask for some food, hehe... I hope you can enjoy eating, hehehe..."
