Chapter 2414 Pilgrimage
2414
Under the night, the car was driving quickly on the way to Miaozhi Mountain.
Miaozhi Mountain is a mountain with special significance among the 100,000 mountains. This mountain is not only a 4a tourist attraction, but also a sacred mountain for the local Miao people. Every year on August 24th of the lunar calendar, each of the 100,000 mountains Local high-level Miao people will go to Miaozhi Mountain for pilgrimage. This is a festival unique to the Miao people, so few Han people know about it.
Shiwandashan is a collective name for the mountains in southwest China, including many mountain ranges. The area is as large as half of Kailiu Province.
Many ethnic minorities in Yun Province live in Shiwandashan. Some farm, some grow vegetables, fruit trees, and some use herbal medicine. Because Shiwandashan spans a large area and has various terrains. There are all terrains, so there are often many magical things here.
Xu Taiping was driving in the mountains. The road was mountainous, winding and rugged, and the road condition was not good.
This kind of road accounts for at least 50% of the entire trip, and the total mileage is more than 600 kilometers. Xu Taiping must ensure an average speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour in order to reach Miao before the end of the pilgrimage. Miaozhi Mountain, and this is only the minimum requirement. In Xu Taiping’s view, he can only spend five hours on the road and arrive at Miaozhi Mountain around six to seven o’clock in the morning. Such a pilgrimage activity While it's going on, it's relatively easy to find people by yourself.
The speed of Xu Taiping's car at this time can no longer be described as lightning. On the winding mountain road, driving sixty or seventy already feels quite fast, and Xu Taiping's current speed has been maintained at one hundred and two!
There was a mobile phone in front of Xu Taiping. There was a real-life map on the mobile phone. The upper map recorded the conditions of the entire road. Xu Taiping used this map to always maintain the speed of the car at about 120. , and will not rush to the roadside.
"Your driving skills have surpassed those of ordinary rally drivers." Jiufang Nianlan sat in the passenger seat and said seriously.
Xu Taiping smiled and said, "It's just better than the average rally driver, not comparable to those powerful ones."
"I'm very curious about your past. From the information I can find, your life trajectory only ended at your university. I can tell at a glance that the subsequent trajectories are fictitious." Jiufang Nianlan said.
"Everyone has something unknown." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
Jiufang Nianlan smiled, picked up his phone, took a look at it, and said, "My colleagues have already sent relevant information about the Shengu Clan, Tianye Clan, and Baisang Clan. During the pilgrimage day, the people of different ethnic groups will The Miao people all wear different clothes. The clothes of the Shengu people are mainly gold, the Tianye people are mainly black, and the Baisang people are mainly white. The totems of the Shengu people are mice, the totems of the Tianye people are wolves, and the Baisang people. The totem of the tribe is the white crane, which is reflected on their clothes. This time, the people who went to Miaozhi Mountain were all the royal families of various ethnic groups and the accompanying guards. The number was not large, the total number was about a thousand."
"How to distinguish their leader from the general royal family?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I have a photo of their leader here." Jiufang Nianlan picked up the phone and faced Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping glanced at Jiufang Nianlan's cell phone and saw three photos. These three photos were of three different people. In the first photo, a person was wearing a golden Miao clothes, with a thin figure and a gloomy face. , the cheekbones are very high, and he looks like a difficult person to get along with at first glance. This man's name is Long Xinbu Niu, which means that this man is the king of the Shengu tribe, and he is the father of Long Ni Sangjiu. The second photo He is a middle-aged man with a plump figure, wearing a black Miao suit. His name is Jida, and he is the king of the Tianye tribe. The third photo is of a woman, about fifty years old, with dark skin and facial features. There are a lot of tattoos, and they look average, but they have a mysterious aura. This person's name is Bai Ying, and he is the king of the Baisang tribe.
These three people control the three largest branches of the Miao people, and are also the three branches with the deepest Gu culture.
"It is said that these three people are all poison masters, but the three of them rarely take action in public. Therefore, few people know what kind of poison they control and what their characteristics are. Everyone only makes an estimate based on the characteristics of these three clans. We made some guesses about the poisons of these three people. Longxinbu Niu must be poisonous poisons. Most of the poisons in Jeddah should be flying insects, because flying insects are best at the end. As for Bai Sang, we estimate that It's a crustacean Gu. Crustacean bugs generally secrete mucus, and some of this mucus can be used as medicine." Jiufang Nianlan said.
"Understood!" Xu Taiping nodded. Among the three tribes, he was most concerned about the people from the Shengu tribe, because only the people from the Shengu tribe could truly threaten him, and the human Gu also came from the Shengu tribe.
"Among the three tribes, the power of the Shengu tribe is the largest and the strongest. Every year on the pilgrimage day, the king of the Shengu tribe will stand in the most prominent position and preside over the pilgrimage ceremony. If there are no accidents this year, it should also be the king of the Shengu tribe. Wang Long Xinbu Niu presided over the pilgrimage ceremony." Jiufang Nianlan said.
"Long Xinbu Niu...does this person have more information about him?" Xu Taiping asked.
"No, these people all live in Shiwandashan. Some of them don't even have ID cards. The authorities have given them enough room for autonomy, so... we have very little information about them. For example, that Meng Ze Han, I haven't found any information about the other party until now." Jiufang Nianlan said.
"That guy needs to be careful. One or two human Gus are fine. If there are a large group of them, it will be difficult to deal with. It seems that force has no effect on human Gus, just like it does on robots." Xu Taiping said.
"I understand!" Jiufang Nianlan nodded.
Under the night, the car moved forward rapidly.
As time went by, the moon set a little bit, and after a period of darkness, the sky began to slowly change.
Dawn has arrived.
At the foot of Miaozhi Mountain.
Today, the Miaozhi Mountain Scenic Area has been temporarily blocked. The blockade time is from 5 to 9 in the morning.
The time for pilgrimage is from 6 to 8 o'clock. The scenic area has given two extra hours. One is to give those pilgrims more time to enter the scenic area, and then to give them more time to leave the scenic area. Such a time period In fact, it is also the time period with the fewest tourists, so the blockade has almost no impact on the scenic spot.
Around five o'clock in the morning, groups of people wearing gorgeous Miao costumes entered the scenic spot.
Only royal families, nobles, and leaders can participate in the pilgrimage. Generally, the Miao people do not need to participate and are not qualified to participate, so there are only more than a thousand people on the pilgrimage every year.
More than a thousand people are not many for the entire Miaozhi Mountain Scenic Area. If you look down from the sky, you can only see small groups of people heading up the mountain.
Half past six in the morning.
A car parked in the parking lot of Miaozhi Mountain Scenic Area.
There were bursts of white smoke coming out of the front hood of the car, which showed how hot the engine was.
Xu Taiping and Jiufang Nianlan walked out of the car together.
"What should I do with this person?" Jiufang Nianlan asked, pointing to Longni Sangjiu, who was still unconscious.
"The main purpose of bringing him here in the trunk is that if there is a conflict with the Shengu people here, we can use him as a hostage. If we are poisoned, we can also exchange him for the antidote." Xu Taiping said on the side As he said that, he locked Ronny Sangjiu in the trunk.
Afterwards, the two of them went straight to the entrance of the scenic spot.
At the entrance of the scenic spot, there are still many people going up the mountain.
Xu Taiping glanced at it from a distance and quickly locked the target. After that, Xu Taiping quietly disappeared into the woods of the scenic spot.
Not long after, Xu Taiping and Jiufang Nianlan appeared on the way up the mountain.
At this time, the two people had changed into a set of fiery red Miao clothes.
Xu Taiping didn't know which ethnic group's clothes these were, but they fit him quite well. And somewhere in Miaozhi Mountain, a man and a woman were beaten unconscious and tied up. , these two people were wearing the clothes of Xu Taiping and Jiufang Nianlan.
There are many people on the road, and there are all kinds of clothes.
It can be seen that these Miao people of different ethnic groups do not usually communicate much. When Xu Taiping and Jiufang Nianlan were walking on the road, no one came to say hello and chat with them.
Everyone walked up the mountain on their own.
Around seven o'clock, Xu Taiping and Jiufang Nianlan finally arrived at the top of Miaozhi Mountain.
At this time, hundreds of people have gathered at the top of Miaozhi Mountain. These hundreds of people are all wearing very gorgeous clothes. Some gather together in twos and threes, and some gather together in groups of more than ten or twenty. It can be seen from this It depends on the size of the ethnic group. People from larger ethnic groups come more often, while fewer people come from smaller ethnic groups. In some ethnic groups, only one person comes.
"I didn't see anyone from the three major clans!" Xu Taiping said with a frown.
"People from the three major clans should make their final appearance." Jiufang Nianlan said.
"Speaking of which, you look pretty good dressed like this. This skirt suits you very well." Xu Taiping said with a low smile.
"Do you like it? If you like... I can wear it all the time." Jiufang Nianlan gave Xu Taiping a wink.
"I have tried nurse uniforms, police uniforms, stewardess uniforms, Lolita clothes, and ancient costumes, but I have never tried Miao clothes." Xu Taiping said ambiguously.
"Don't make trouble...we are doing something!" Jiufang Nianlan said. Although he said not to make trouble, Jiufang Nianlan's eyes were already full of charm.
This inadvertently revealed charm, mixed with a slight charm, is enough to confuse most men in this world.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the crowd in the distance.
Xu Taiping looked into the distance and saw three groups of people walking towards him from afar.
