The roads on the Tuyan Peak in Daqi Mengshan are dangerous. It is not too hard to get up the mountain, but the more you go up, the more steep the cliffs there are. Guifang’s villages are mostly made of wooden hangers. The stilt houses are built according to the mountain. Some are five or six households connected together, while others are single-door and single households.

Chu Huan and his group came to the mountain. The people in the village had already been awakened. The people in the Guifang were like living in seclusion outside the world, and their work and rest time were very regular, but once an unexpected situation occurred, the reaction in the village was extremely rapid.

Yi Gusi held the ghost master He Xigu, leading the way in front and entered the village. Chu Huan led the officers and soldiers to follow him. After entering the village, the road was still rugged and difficult. When passing through every stilt building, he would see a ghost man holding weapons in his hands, staring at the officers and soldiers, and being on guard. The weapons were also diverse. Some were holding simple bows and arrows, some were holding swords, some carried guns, and some were just holding wooden sticks to protect the door. Some were old and some were old. Some were even thirteen or fourteen years old, standing in front of the door with bows and arrows, staring at the officers and soldiers.

Chu Huan saw it in his eyes, although he was silent, he knew very well that the number of Guifang people was not large, but he was able to live in the Central Plains for hundreds of years despite being excluded. One of the reasons was that Guifang people were prepared for danger in times of peace and united. They were always vigilant, and most of them maintained absolute unity.

Yi Gusi was worried about Hexigu, so he asked someone to take Chu Huan and his party to a house in the village. There were two stilt houses here. Gui Fang people had already started charcoal fires inside, and used fire plates to fill the burning charcoal fires inside, and the house was also warm. Chu Huan and others were temporarily resting inside, and then someone sent water and food.

When he was in the Guifang Village, Xuanyuan Shengcai did not dare to take it lightly. He arranged his subordinates to guard the Guifang people outside and be wary of Guifang people.

After a while, several officials from the Ministry of Revenue Department made a lot of trouble. It was already midnight and they were very sleepy. After eating some food, they slept on the floor in the house.

Chu Huan was worried about the safety of Hexi Valley, but it was difficult to fall asleep. I don’t know how long it took, Chu Huan leaned against the wooden wall and half asleep. He heard a voice from outside: "Who?" As if a guard was asking, he opened his eyes immediately, but saw that the light of the morning light had already been projecting in from the doors and windows. Chu Huan got up, put his hands on his face and rubbed it. Then he arrived in front of the door, and a chill hit his face, but in the chill, there was a fresh air with the morning light.

He looked up and saw that there was a vast white area around him, but it was not heavy snow, but fog. The fog was extremely thick and the range was very short. The whole mountain seemed to be shrouded in fog.

"Mr. Chu got up early." A voice came from the side, "I slept well last night?"

Chu Huan looked over and it was Yi Gusi. He smiled and immediately asked, "Master Yi Cave, what is the situation of the Ghost Lord?"

Yi Gusi's face didn't look good, and she frowned, "Before I woke up, several people have been sent to my village to treat it, but the reason was not found. I have sent people to other villages to find experts in treating the disease and let them come for treatment." Looking at Chu Huan, there was a look of embarrassment on her face. "Mr. Chu, yesterday..."

Chu Huan knew what he wanted to say, waved his hand and smiled, "I forgot everything yesterday."

"Master Chu forgot, but Yi Gusi cannot forget it." Yi Gusi sighed: "If it weren't for Master Chu, Gui Fang would have had a big deal..." Looking at Chu Huan, "Master Chu has a lot, and we are really grateful if we don't care about us."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Master Yidong, let alone you have made great contributions. Even if you have not made great contributions, they are still the people of the Qin Dynasty. The government should have arranged a livelihood for you."

Yi Gusi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Mr. Chu, should the government really allocate land for us?"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "This is certainly true. I will not hide it from the Lord Yidong. We came here this time, and we will first log you into the household registration according to the will of the court, and then according to your population, we will divide the land that can make you have no worries about food and clothing. Moreover, the court has issued a gift that no tax will be collected on you within three years...!"

Yi Gusi's eyes showed joy, but there was still a hint of suspicion in his eyes. After thinking about it, he finally asked: "Master Chu came to Daqimeng Mountain mainly to count household registrations, but he didn't know what else was there except this?"

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment, knowing that the visit to the old man in the future could not be hidden from Yi Gusi, and said softly: "In addition, there is another thing to ask the old man in Gui. I hope the old ghost master can introduce it!"

"Ghost Old?" Yi Gusi was a little surprised, "What should Lord Chu do when he sees ghost Old Old?"

Chu Huan just smiled, didn't speak, and changed the topic: "Master Yidong, can I go and see the old ghost master?"

Yi Gusi said: "The Ghost Lord has not woken up yet. When Lord Chu sees him, he can't speak. When the Ghost Lord wakes up, I will send someone to notify Lord Chu!"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Actually, although I don't know medical skills, I know a little about poison. I may not be able to help after taking a look at it."

Yi Gu Siqi said, "Master Chu understands poison?" After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Then I'll have a hard time."

Xuanyuan Shengcai was always worried about Chu Huan's safety. Although Yi Gusi seemed to be invincible now, he didn't know Gui Fang. Who knew what the people in Gui Fang had? Chu Huan went there, and he and Qiu Ruxue were accompanied by Sun Zikong naturally followed him. If Chu Huan hadn't stopped him, Xuanyuan Shengcai would even transfer all the soldiers to the place.

Hexigu was arranged in Yi Gusi's hanging building. Yi Gusi was the owner of the cave, so the area of ​​the hanging building was quite large and the main hall was quite spacious. Chu Huan followed the local customs and was afraid of causing Yi Gusi's misunderstandings. He just asked Qiu Ruxue and Xuanyuan Sheng to wait outside. Sun Zikong, as his deputy, followed him into the house.

Although the hall in Yigusi's house is spacious, it is very simple, far from the magnificence of the Qin people. It is just covered with animal skins and even a few tiger skins are connected together, which looks very domineering.

Chu Huan glanced at him a few casually, his expression suddenly became stunned, his eyes fell on the wall, and his eyes could not be moved away for a moment. Seeing this, Sun Zikong couldn't help but look at Chu Huan's gaze, and only saw that there was a painting hanging on the front wall.

The painting looks quite old. It is painted on a brocade and hanging on the wall. The brocade is not big, but the pictures on the brocade are extremely gorgeous and do not seem to have dimmed the color because of the passage of time.

Sun Zikong was also a little surprised when he saw the painting.

I saw a monster with a human-body snake head on the painting. The monster only had a golden apron around his waist, naked. His body was strong and his flesh was strong. Whether it was his legs or his chest and abdomen, it was full of a strong sense of power, as if it had infinite power. However, above his neck was a snake head that looked very terrifying.

Two snake eyes can be clearly seen on the snake's head, with sharp eyes. Although it is just a painting, it seems that the pair of snake eyes flashes with light, and there is a snake letter spitting out from the snake's mouth.

But what is even more strange is that this monster, which looks like a warrior, is not a weapon in his hand, but a musical instrument. He holds a flute in his left hand, and a pipa with his right hand.

This picture looks vivid and has excellent painting skills, obviously it is made by a skilled painter.

Seeing this strange picture, Sun Zikong felt that the pair of snake eyes seemed to be staring at him tightly, and a chill arose on his body. He couldn't help but take two steps back and said, "This... what kind of monster is this..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and graceful voice was heard beside him: "What did you say?"

Sun Zi turned his head and saw Yi Gusi staring at him. Yi Gusi's face was already showing anger, and his eyes seemed to look at his enemy, and his fists were already clenched with both hands.

Sun Zikong was stunned when he saw this scene. However, Yi Gusi seemed to not care about Chu Huan's face. He looked at Sun Zikong coldly and asked again in a deep voice: "What did you say just now?"

Chu Huan knew that things were not good, frowned and looked at Sun Zikong, and said in a deep voice: "Zikong, apologize to Master Yidong!"

Sun Zikong said a little aggrievedly: "Master, I didn't say anything. I just saw this monster and couldn't recognize it for a moment..." Before he finished speaking, Yi Gusi had already shouted fiercely and punched Sun Zikong's face.

His punch seemed to have all his strength and showed no mercy. Sun Zikong obviously could not have thought that Yi Gusi would do it in front of Chu Huan. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to dodge. Seeing that the punch was about to hit Sun Zikong hard, Chu Huan had already reached out and grabbed Yi Gusi's wrist. Although Yi Gusi was very strong, when Chu Huan grabbed his wrist, he seemed to be trapped by an iron hoop. He couldn't move at all. Looking at Chu Huan, his eyes were full of anger, but Chu Huan said solemnly: "Master Yi Cave, this is Zikong's fault. I am his master. I apologize to you on his behalf. It was him who spoke wildly. You are a lot of wise men, don't bother with him!"

In fact, Chu Huan knew in his heart that when Hexi Valley left Taiyuan City, he had a conversation with Chu Huan. Chu Huan learned from the mouth of Hexi Valley that the god believed in by the ghosts was the great python god.

The painting in front of me, with a human body and a snake head, is probably the python god believed by the ghosts. This picture is hung on the main hall wall of the cave owner Yi Gusi, which shows its importance.

This is the god of the Guifang people. Sun Tzu Kong didn't understand the reason and spoke without saying anything. No wonder Hexigu was so angry. The Guifang people regard the Great Python God as a totem and are the supreme being. Naturally, they cannot tolerate anyone's blasphemy and disrespect for it.

But what surprised Chu Huan was not the weirdness of this picture, nor the angry reaction of Yi Gusi, but Chu Huan had seen this picture more than a year ago.
