"Haunted?" Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Yu Qingdu, "Why did the leader of the clan Yu say this?"

Everyone was on the city wall on the east side. When they heard Wu Zhongyuan's words, Yu Qingdu pointed east, "In the early years, a tribe went out to sea to catch fish, but his mast was broken and he was swept into the sea and drifted with the waves. They floated with the flow for many days. During this period, they had seen the island that the adults mentioned. According to them, the island was lingering in black fog, gloomy and terrifying, and ghosts cried in the daytime."

"When did this happen?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. Although the old blind man knew the specific location of Turtle Island, he did not land on the island in person. However, the old blind man mentioned that there was fog around Turtle Island.

"It's been more than thirty years." Yu Qingdu said.

"How many people were on the ship at that time? Are these people still there?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Before Yu Qingdu could answer the conversation, Huang Youyun, who was standing by, took over the conversation, "Three people have passed away, one of them is my uncle. He has told me several times about the situation in Turtle Island. What I know is more detailed than the leader Yu and others."

"It's a blessing to the leader of the Huang clan." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Huang Youyun relied on the giant crossbow for a moment, and then said, "They did not climb to that island back then, but drifted from the south of the island. Because the island was surrounded by black fog, they couldn't see the situation on the island. They just saw that there seemed to be a broken city on the island, and they could vaguely hear the laughter and the strange sound of the piano."

"When was the day when they drifted near the island?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It's noon." Huang Youyun said.

"Have you seen people on the island?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Huang Youyun shook her head, "No, I just heard the ghost's laughter and cry."

"Is it a person or a group of people who are laughing and crying? Is it a male or female?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"It's the voice of a woman, it's hard to tell her age," Huang Youyun said, adding, "I cry and laugh, and I'm weird and terrifying."

Wu Zhongyuan was not in a hurry to ask again. He needed time to sort out the clues of messy clues.

When the old blind man was traveling everywhere in his early years, he once saw a man in black who could transform into a body from the East China Sea. His body was a bird. When he transformed into a body, he could transform into weapons. This person lived on Turtle Island.

The old blind man did not climb to that island, but knew that there was a magical fruit on the island that could transform things outside his body. Since the old blind man did not climb to the island, it means that in addition to his own experiences, these things were also mixed with some hearsays.

However, although the old blind man mentioned that there was a bird on the island that could turn into a man in black, he did not mention that there were broken cities on the island, nor did he mention that there were women on the island.

After pondering, Wu Zhongyuan asked, "What else do you know about that island?"

Huang Youyun shook his head and said, "Although we have lived by the sea for generations, we rarely go to the deep sea. There are many winds and waves in the sea. Our boats are too small to bear."

After Huang Youyun said that, Yu Qing nodded and agreed, "Yes, they floated for more than ten days before they arrived near Turtle Island. If it weren't for the heavy rains during this period and the wind suddenly changed, they would have been buried in the sea."

"How much do you know about mermaids?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Not many, I only know that they are fierce and aggressive. The current leader is named Zhulang," Yu Qing shook his head, "They rarely come to the shore and have no intersection with us."

After Yu Qingdu said that, Huang Youyun said, "The area where the mermaids are active is northeast. They have some contact with the bird clan. If you want to know their situation, you can go to the bird clan to inquire."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. In fact, he knew the general area of ​​the mermaids' activity, but seeing the mermaids was not the main purpose of his trip, and the area where the mermaids' activity was not in the same direction as the turtle island.

"What are you going to Turtle Island for?" Huang Youyun was a little curious.

"Go and find something." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

Huang Youyun nodded and did not ask again.

Everyone knew that Wu Zhongyuan was very interested in their crossbows and had never hidden himself. Not only did he take him to visit, he also arranged a test shot. The power of the crossbow mainly depends on the tension of the bow string. The crossbow wrapped with dragon tendons can withstand greater tension, and its range is more than three times that of ordinary bows and arrows. Large-scale landlines are mainly divided into two types: stone casting and arrows, which can be divided into more than a dozen different models. Among them, there are two most powerful ones, one is called Tiangang Crossbow, which is even more powerful than the Zhuge crossbow of later generations. It can shoot thirty-six giant arrows at a time, mainly attacking large targets. There is also a name called the Earth Demon Bow, which can shoot 72 small arrows, covering a large area in a fan shape, and is mainly used to attack small targets in groups.

Although it is amazing, the production cost is also very high. The main body of the wood cannot withstand such a large force. Most of the components need to be cast with metal. At this time, metal is very expensive. The cost of making Tiangang Crossbow and Earth Demon Bow is amazing. Any piece can cost at least two thousand kilograms of metal. He had previously extorted 10,000 kilograms of copper and iron in Taipingzhai, and only five can be made when used. This also destined that Tiangang Crossbow and Earth Demon Bow will be difficult to popularize in large quantities.

After visiting the crossbow, Yu Qingdu and others took Wu Zhongyuan to visit the stone tower in the city. What they didn't know was that Wu Zhongyuan had been here before, but Wu Zhongyuan could not tell them that he had been here, so he could only walk up layer by layer. The stone tower had seven layers. In addition to a large amount of grease and dragon tendons, the leather that had been dried outside was also made of nitride and moved in. The snake skin and dragon skin were also very useful. It can not only be used to make soft armor, but also to make shoes. At this time, the shoes worn by people were divided into three types, with the most straw sandals, and ordinary people wore straw sandals. Leather shoes were second, modern leather shoes at this time, and modern leather shoes were not the same concept, and they could also be called leather tying. All animal leather leather shoes can be used to make leather tying. The least are cloth shoes, which are sewn layer by layer with linen, and are mostly used by royal families.

Oils are also widely used. They can not only be used to smel metals, but also to illuminate. Unlike ordinary animal oils, they are more resistant to combustion and have greater brightness.

The Yi people's city was very big, and it took quite a long time to visit. After the visit, Wu Zhongyuan took the initiative to go to the cave to worship the Yi people's ancestors. This move was not to pretend to be hypocritical, but to seek peace of mind. This peace of mind was not his peace of mind, but to make Yu Qingdu and others feel at ease.

Yu Qingdu and others also had this intention, but it was not convenient to express it. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan taking the initiative to propose, he followed the flow and fulfilled his wish.

There must be eulogies for tribute. Wu Zhongyuan studied archaeology. People who studied archaeology understand history. What people who understand history do not fear the most is similar things. First, they must clearly state the facts. To put it bluntly, they are coming to apologize, and state why they should take away the soul-sucking lamp, and then put on a high hat on the barbarians. Finally, they guarantee that the implication is that they will work together with the barbarians and strive to protect the barbarians.

If you don’t have culture, you can’t speak. Being able to speak basically means you have culture. No matter which dynasty or generation, you will be highly regarded by others. When Wu Zhongyuan recites the eulogy, Yu Qingdu and others admire him very much. He is worthy of being the reincarnation of the Golden Dragon, with a straight expression, calmness and calmness, and has the spirit of a king.

It was getting late at this time, and Wu Zhongyuan stood up to say goodbye. The barbarians were enthusiastic about keeping him. The enthusiasm at this time was different from the politeness of later generations. Instead, they were directly dragged and dragged away.

Wu Zhongyuan thought about it and decided to stay for another night. Although he could see things at night and was not afraid of gods and ghosts, there was no need to rush to Guida Island in the middle of the night. The situation on Guida Island is quite strange, so it is better to go there in broad daylight, at least the light is better than at night.

But soon he regretted staying. During lunch, the Yiren had not persuaded him to drink, but he started to persuade him to drink at dinner. The Yiren was so strong that he persuaded him to drink. He came with a big bowl and then stood for him to drink. He didn't drink it and the other party refused to leave.

Even if he has spiritual cultivation, he can't stand this way of drinking. At this time, the wine level is low, probably only about twenty degrees, but no matter how low the degree is, it is wine. The people below are not counted. The nine clan leaders each have a big bowl and they are confused. Then someone comes to worship him and will not drink it if they are beaten to death.

There is a strange rule among the barbarians. When eating, only men will serve the table, and women will stand by and serve them from the side. This rule has been passed down to modern times. Until modern times, women in this area will not serve the table. When eating, men will take the initiative to leave half of the food for the women, and only a lot of fish. They will only eat the front and not turn over, and take the rest for the women to eat.

Seeing that the man was toasting Wu Zhongyuan, there were a group of women, all of whom were young and beautiful women, in their 20s and 30s. They were dressed very grandly and wore various jewelry. They didn’t use bowls when toasting, but a special conch.

Wu Zhongyuan had no intention of drinking again. When he saw that he was using special utensils when he was toasting, he refused to do so for fear of being in a trap.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan refuse, the nine patriarchs each took the conch from one of the women and toasted them.

Seeing that they came like this, Wu Zhongyuan even beat him to death and never drank it. This was clearly a marriage to him.

The barbarians regard height as beautiful. These big girls are all over two meters tall, and they are only 1.75 meters tall, and they are only 1.75 meters tall, and they are only at their breasts. Although real men are not afraid of eating fat meat, the meat is too big, so how can they eat such a large piece?

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan refuse, the nine clan leaders were divided into three gangs, each of whom raised a bowl of wine to give them to him, and the implication was to give him three women.

At the end of the stalemate, he still didn't drink it, regardless of whether the barbarians were disappointed or not. Sometimes he couldn't be too worried about face and suffered, so he should give it to others what he didn't like.

Although marriage was normal in ancient times, perhaps the barbarians were just to express hospitality, Wu Zhongyuan hated this behavior very much. He always felt a bit like a slave of Cixi's "measure the material resources of China and make the country happy". If a nation becomes a nation that uses women of its own tribe to curry favor with foreigners, this nation will really have problems.
