Chapter 182 Bai People

 The ones who opened the military card were two guys from Ye Mansion.

The mountain road was bumpy, and the sound of scales and iron sheets could be heard from time to time in the carriage behind, as if a huge thing was stuffed inside.

The co-pilot's man couldn't help but said: "Captain, what exactly is installed in the back? Listen to this sound, it sounds like it's a living thing?"

The captain said seriously: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. You also know the rules at home. When you get to the place, you will have a chance to know what's inside?"

The guy didn't dare to ask any more questions and took turns driving with the captain along the way.

......

A few days later, the convoy was finally approaching its destination.

However, the road behind it was steep and narrow, and it was on the edge of a cliff. Ye Bai ordered some people to stay to guard the vehicles, while the others took their equipment and walked into the mountain.

Even so, everyone walked cautiously.

The road is undulating, with many gravels and potholes. In addition, it rained two days ago and the road is muddy. If you are not careful, it is easy to fall off the cliff and into the turbulent Canglan River.

The Canglan River is a large river that runs through Yunnan. Many water systems originate from the Canglan River. The Panlong River that Ye Bai had seen before is considered a tributary of the Canglan River.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, the night is getting dark, and there is a cold drizzle in the sky.

Ye Bai looked from a distance and saw that Huo Xiangu and Qi Xiaohei were back with a group of people.

An hour ago, Ye Bai asked them to explore the road, leave marks along the way, and come back early to explain what's going on ahead.

"How?"

Huo Xiangu covered her forehead with her hands to keep out the rain. She came to Ye Bai and said, "Third Master, the mountain road ahead has collapsed. The local residents are organizing manpower to pass it. However, these villagers don't seem to speak Mandarin and are very hostile to us."

Ye Bai raised his head and looked at the sky. It was overcast and drizzling, and he said, "Let Mo Wu lead a team of people to communicate. The rain will continue to fall. We need to find a place to camp as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Seeing this, Chen Yulou also followed with a small group of brothers from Xiling.

Partridge Whistle looked at Huo Xiangu's back and praised: "This head of the Huo family has the spirit of a woman!"

Ye Bai nodded in agreement, and looked down the cliff again, surrounded by rain and fog, and the water was huge.

The top of the mountain is lined with steep rocks, and the gray giant bowl-shaped mountain stands among the clouds and mist. I don’t know how high the top of the mountain is.

Since there could be a landslide ahead, it meant that the mountain structure here was already unstable. Ye Bai was worried and asked Partridge Whistle to go ahead and pay attention to the falling rocks on the mountain.

After everyone walked for a long time, they saw Chen Yulou, Qi Xiaohei and others helping the local tribesmen carry stones in the distance.

These people seem to be all ethnic minorities. They wear turbans on their heads and linen brown clothes, but the bottom is white, so they should belong to the Bai ethnic group.

And there are quite a few women here, but their complexions are yellow and black, as if they have been working in the sun all year round.

Seeing a large group of people coming over, these Bai people were obviously a little uneasy. Mo Wu and Huo Sanniang stepped forward to explain, and they didn't know what reason they found to make these people relax.

There were not many stones left blocking the roadside, which was enough for everyone to pass, but Ye Bai still asked people to come forward to help him, in order to increase the favorability of the Bai people.

When he came to a piece of gravel, Ye Bai saw a head-shaped stone figurine, with dense white grubs exposed inside. These grubs were as sticky and disgusting as live maggots.

Only the head of this stone figurine is left, and the whereabouts of the body and limbs are unknown.

Chen Yulou squatted down and crushed a white insect to death. Green juice gradually spurted out. He put it on his hand and smelled it, saying: "It's not toxic."

Ye Bai calmly stepped back. Since his eldest brother got the blood of the six-winged centipede, he is not shy about all kinds of insects.

Chen Yulou took the stone figurine in his hand again, observed it for a while and said: "The stone figurine imitates the shape of the Han Dynasty, and should be a product of the King Xian period."

Huo Xiangu came to the two of them and explained: "It fell from the mountain, but according to the locals, this situation is common. This kind of white insect can be seen every time there is a landslide."

Ye Bai nodded and said: "It seems that we are very close to the Insect Valley. Please go down and tell us that water and food must be boiled before consumption."

Ye Bai looked at the concave mountain above his head. The human figurines fell from there. It was estimated that there should be a small tomb inside.

But his system did not prompt, indicating that this tomb has no exploration value.

After the mountain road was cleared, the Bai people took everyone to the vicinity of the village and allowed everyone to camp and rest here.

Ye Bai also asked Huo Xiangu to give the Bai people a lot of objects that were not found in the mountains as thank-you gifts.

The camp was laid out, and after Ye Bai and others had a simple meal, they discussed the next plan in the tent.

Mo Wu told the news he had snooped out.

"We have to go to Zhelong Mountain to go to the Insect Valley. Zhelong Mountain is the boundary here. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. The weather is changeable, with hail, heavy rain, strong winds, etc. coming at any time. There are a lot of poisonous insects, poisonous fog, and mosquitoes at the bottom of the mountain.

It breeds, the valley is humid and hot, and the miasma persists all year round."

"So there is no way to go?" Qi Xiaohei adjusted his sunglasses, looked at the map in front of him, and couldn't help but said.

Huo Xiangu also said: "Brother Mo is right. Many local people are lost in Zhelong Mountain, and there is no one to guide them. It will be very risky to get there."

Perhaps it is not difficult for Ye Bai, Chen Yulou and others to cross Zhelong Mountain, but it is not easy for the large army to pass through safely.

It is impossible for Ye Bai to leave everyone behind and take a few top combat forces into the mountain. These subordinates will still have a lot of use in the Worm Valley.

Seeing Qi Tiezui staring at the map without saying a word, Ye Bai woke him up and the boy remained silent for a day.

"What are you thinking about? Give us a divination to see whether it's good or bad?"

Unexpectedly, Qi Tiezui shook his head and said with a smile: "Third Master, I did a divination once when I came here. The sun is outside the yin and the clouds are scattered. It means that when the sky clears, you will know how to leave."
p>

Ye Bai nodded, he still believed Qi Tiezui's divination results.

After thinking for a while, Ye Bai said: "It is really difficult to travel on rainy days. In this case, let the brothers repair for two days to relieve fatigue."

"But it depends on people. Mo Wu and Xian Gu, you two continue to inquire among the locals. They live here all year round. They may know the path that can pass through Zhelong Mountain. Even if they don't know, it would be a good thing if they can inquire about the information in the Insect Valley.

."

After giving instructions on everything, Qi Tiezui stayed in Ye Bai's tent and refused to leave.

"Third Master, you promised my father that we would sleep in a tent."

Ye Bai thought about it, but he still felt helpless when he saw Qi Tiezui's fear of death: "Bring your bedding in. If you snore at night, I'll kick you to death."
