The houses around them were different from the ones outside, and they were too different, so much so that when Bai Yixuan saw these houses, she couldn't help but feel that the outside world was much better than the ones here.
It was so much so that Bai Yixuan felt that these houses would probably be GAMEOVER if there was even a slight change in the atmosphere. However, all of this was only for an instant in Bai Yixuan's mind, but she had actually seen more of the strangeness of this place, which was to have the grave built in front of her house.
Therefore, when Bai Yixuan took a closer look, she could see that there were a lot of small wooden signs in front of these grey houses. Furthermore, each and every small grave was cleaner than the houses, Bai Yixuan felt that she had actually stepped into their ancestor's grave.
"What kind of good habit is this, to build a grave in front of your house?" Bai Yixuan shuddered at the thought. Obviously, Yang Jin had also noticed it and started to become afraid again.
However, he still stayed in the front and silently watched the road. He didn't show any emotions, but he seemed to be extremely conflicted with this place.
After walking for almost half of the entire village, Bai Yixuan started to suspect the size of the mountain. Did these people hide themselves intentionally to not let him and Mu Yefan see?
Along the way, Bai Yixuan discovered that this place was truly mystical. There was not a family that did not place their ancestor's grave in front of their courtyard, as they were afraid that they would not see it. Furthermore, this clan had a few flags that Bai Yixuan did not understand, which was probably their totem.
Halfway through, Bai Yixuan felt that this place did not seem to be right, because even the weather did not seem as cold here.
Bai Yixuan took a step forward, and together with Mu Yefan, they stood shoulder to shoulder. Then, the two saw a gigantic round plate, which was probably an altar!
Bai Yixuan had never seen anything like an altar before, but when she saw this, she only felt shocked. She saw a few men and women dressed in strange clothing, whether they were men or women, all of them were wearing dresses that were like sacks, and all of them had their hair draped over their shoulders, making them look like savages at first glance.
However, Bai Yixuan did not pay much attention to all of this. Instead, she saw Qian Hua sitting right in the middle of those people, and the situation she was looking at was a little strange, because she did not seem to be forcefully tied up there. Instead, she sat there obediently with a curious expression on her face.
In the next moment, Bai Yixuan saw that group of people surrounding Han Qianhua and dancing around him. It was a dance that Bai Yixuan could not even imagine, and its entire appearance was extremely strange.
The ground of this place was extremely strange. Although Bai Yixuan had never seen the altar, she knew that the altar should be built on the ground.
However, this altar was constructed in the bottom of a valley. Bai Yixuan, Mu Yefan and the other two were currently standing on top of the altar, silently watching those people.
Yang Jin's current expression was still extremely wonderful, to the point that she didn't know how to describe it. He stretched out her hand as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, she still pointed at Han Qianhua's position with a little powerlessness.
Bai Yixuan knew that he was worried that Han Qianhua had been drugged, because Han Qianhua's expression and actions did not seem to be forced at all. Bai Yixuan even felt that there should be a rope that would tie her up no matter what.
Bai Yixuan looked at Mu Yefan and said, "Are we going to go down directly?"
Mu Yefan shook his head, he did not know if it was because he did not know what was going on or if it was because he was rejecting them. However, the two of them did not have to ponder over this issue, because someone had already discovered them.
The one who found them was a child, and the difference from the adults was this child. His expression was more vivid, to the point that Bai Yixuan felt that this child probably wanted his expression to stand out.
That smiling face of his looked like it was going to break his mouth. Bai Yixuan did not know what that person shouted, but everyone was looking at him, so Bai Yixuan felt uncomfortable being stared at by so many people.
However, very quickly a young man walked to Bai Yixuan's side and smiled at him. Han Qianhua also extended her hand out to greet Bai Yixuan and the others in such a strange atmosphere.
The young man was very handsome. If not for the fact that this man did not have any breasts, Bai Yixuan would have suspected that this was a woman with clear lines.
In any case, the ancient charm was very different from the other men that Bai Yixuan knew. This person had a kind of peaceful temperament to him, so Bai Yixuan did not continue speaking.
"You, are, guests?" The man's voice was very pleasant to hear, but it sounded stuttering and she didn't know where the accent came from. In short, it was kind of funny, but Bai Yixuan held back her laughter.
Mu Yefan's expression was extremely solemn. Bai Yixuan felt that sometimes, Mu Yefan's expression was like that of someone on a grave, it was extremely interesting.
"Hello... We're here to find our friends … " Bai Yixuan decided to carry out a soft policy and talk to this man, because it seemed that this man was some kind of important figure in the tribe.
"Customer, you need to accept the ceremony."
"What ceremony?" There might be a problem with the person Bai Yixuan was communicating with, but it seemed like the person did not have any ill intentions, and Bai Yixuan could not directly say that she wanted to repay my Qian Hua, so in the end, Bai Yixuan did not say much, and went along with what the person said.
"Purification …"
"…" Could it be that this place thought that he was a purifier, and what was the use of purifying? Bai Yixuan didn't know how to answer, but that person had already continued, "You guys also came?"
Mu Yefan obviously did not want Bai Yixuan to go, but Bai Yixuan seemed to have thought about it, and in the end, decided to go. She nodded, and the young man was extremely happy.
All of them seemed to be extremely interested in Bai Yixuan and the others, but they only looked at him and did not say a word. However, Bai Yixuan felt that the people in this place definitely had their own languages that she would not be able to understand even if they truly spoke.
Not long after, three people moved chairs and Bai Yixuan pulled Mu Yefan to sit down. Yang Jin was still trembling from battle, and looking at the dancing around him, Bai Yixuan could only focus her attention on Han Qianhua and ask softly, "What happened to you?"
Han Qianhua said, "Actually, I do not know, I just felt like I smelt a scent yesterday, and then when I woke up in the morning, it was here. The people here are not bad, after finishing the ceremony, they let us go, and they even said something about an outsider's scent helping them out."
Bai Yixuan only thought that this lady had a big heart. If these people were to cook her and eat her flesh, Bai Yixuan felt that she could take a bath in a hot pot. But now was not the time to think about it, but rather, it was about what the ceremony was about.
This question did not last long, because after the ceremony, they were invited to a different place. It was good to be entertained with good wine and good meat.
Bai Yixuan felt that this matter was extremely strange, but looking at their sincere faces, Bai Yixuan chose to not say anything.
's heart was in turmoil after eating the entire meal, but Bai Yixuan finally knew some information, for example, that this handsome young man was the Patriarch, and that they had only invited Qian Hua as a guest. Furthermore, this place did not have any customs about not igniting the fire at night.
These people welcomed the outsiders and wanted them to do them a favor. Originally, this people had been living off the mountain's food, but because of the long period of time they had, there was nothing left to eat on the mountain.
However, these people didn't know how to mix with the outside world, so they hid on this mountain all the time without choosing to go down. However, these people didn't know how to mix with the outside world, so they stayed on this mountain all the time and didn't choose to go down.
Therefore, when the merchant's daughter went up the mountain, these people really welcomed her. However, after that woman swindled away the land deed, the people on the mountain didn't react.
He did not hate the emotions of an outsider. He just felt that that thing was useless. His greatest emotion was probably because that person was a little sad after he left.
Bai Yixuan felt that this race would definitely need to go out and cure their brains, but they did not know what was going on with this person's mind, and could not even make them complain. Bai Yixuan suddenly felt sorry for these people, and did not know what that person thought, to actually bully their pure hearts like this.
Bai Yixuan then asked about the legends about the demons. It turned out that the mountain was filled with willow trees, and would give off a green glow in the summer. Bai Yixuan knew about this.
As for the scientific principle, only Bai Yixuan could not remember it, but it was indeed a natural phenomenon, so Bai Yixuan was not afraid. Furthermore, she felt that she should take a closer look at this place because of its magical natural scenery.
Yesterday, Qian Hua himself had somehow walked into someone's territory, all of them were eating and drinking merrily to support Qian Hua, and even used their own family's highest welcome ceremony, which was the one Bai Yixuan saw called purification ceremony at the very beginning.
Bai Yixuan tried to communicate with these people for a long time before finally asking carefully, "Don't you know that there's iron ore in your mountain?"
Bai Yixuan already knew the name of the Clan Chief, it was called Outer Mountain. It sounded pretty literary, but it also seemed to symbolize their yearning towards the outside world.
As for him, he was the adopted son of the previous clan head, so he was also ignorant of what had happened that year. In the end, he shook his head and asked, "That is … what?"
Bai Yixuan wanted to say that it was something that she could earn money for, but thinking about it, it was something that belonged to Yang Jin, so it had nothing to do with him anymore.
It was a pity that these people were used as a gun by others, and even misunderstood that the people on the mountain were not friendly. Yang Jin seemed to have been greatly moved and had been very quiet the entire time.
