"Virtuous Prince of the Left, this is an auspicious sign." An old man walked over and said. He was wearing clothes made from beast skin and had all kinds of strange accessories on his body. Some of those accessories were made from the teeth of wild beasts, while others were made from the hard bones of wild beasts. Each of them had a barbaric style. He also had a bone staff in his hand. This bone staff was clearly very ancient, and there were strange totems carved on it.
At first glance, he looked like an ancient shaman. People couldn't help but want to stay away from him.
"Shaman, why are you here?" Liu Bao saw the old man and showed respect on his face.
This was a Shaman. He had an important position in the tribe. He was the spiritual symbol of the people in the tribe. He was in charge of rituals, mysterious witchcraft, medical skills, and so on. It was even said that Shamans could predict the future and guide the tribe.
Therefore, Shamans had a very high status in the nomadic tribes.
This Shaman was called Wuma.
"How can I sit still when the phoenix is in the sky?" The Shaman looked in the direction where the five-colored light disappeared and said, "Virtuous Prince of the Left, the phoenix won't land where there are no treasures. On the contrary, where the phoenix landed, there must be great treasures. Where the phoenix landed, there must be extremely precious treasures. As long as you can get it, it will be a great help for you to establish the Great Xiongnu Empire. "
"This world is so wonderful. Even the divine phoenix has appeared. Maybe we can become immortals in the future. As long as we keep on cultivating, we may be able to achieve immortality. " Liu Bao's eyes flashed. He looked at the place where the phoenix landed and showed a strong desire to possess it. He reached out and grabbed the air, saying, "No matter what the treasure is, it must be mine."
His face revealed a lofty expression, and a savage light flickered. He was like a tiger or leopard.
"Virtuous Prince of the Left, you have great luck. As long as you don't die, you will definitely make a great career. However, this world is too dangerous. You must improve your cultivation as soon as possible. This is a world where you can cultivate. "A strange light flashed in the Shaman's eyes. In this chaotic world, only a ruthless and smart person like Liu Bao could survive and make a career for himself.
"Shaman, don't worry. I can use Han women to cultivate my cultivation method. These days, I have improved by leaps and bounds. I have reached the second level of the Divine Sea Realm. As long as I have an endless supply of women as furnaces, I can become stronger at the fastest speed possible. I want more women. "Liu Bao revealed a ferocious expression.
"Men, bring two more women to my tent." Liu Bao waved his hand and walked back to his tent.
Several soldiers quickly arrived at the area where the women and children were and directly captured two young women. He dragged her up and left.
"No, I don't want to die."
"Let me go! Who's going to save me? Help!"
The two women immediately turned pale and began to cry for help. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair.
They had seen what happened to the women who were taken away. All the women who were taken into the tent were corpses when they came out. Moreover, they were all cold and dried corpses. There was not even a trace of flesh. It looked like a layer of old skin wrapped around a body of bones. This kind of scene appeared again and again. Everyone knew that as long as one entered, they would definitely die.
Moreover, it was the same way of dying.
That situation was similar to the legendary monster that sucked away all of a person's essence.
Once they entered, they would die. Moreover, it would be extremely miserable. Which woman was not afraid? Some people were desperate and wanted to commit suicide. However, they still held on to the "what if" that someone could come and save them. What if it was not their turn? If they could live, no one would be willing to die so easily. This was the instinctive desire of humans to survive.
But now, this "what if" had turned into the most terrifying result.
After being dragged out, they would not even have the chance to commit suicide.
Not long after, the two women were brought into the tent. Then, there was a series of screams and heavy breathing from inside.
Many women outside showed despair on their faces. Their bodies were trembling.
"Even if I die, I will leave with a clean record."
A young girl dressed in noble attire suddenly stood up from the crowd of women and children. She let out a fierce shout and fiercely slammed her head into a sharp rock. There was a flash of blood. Her head was smashed open. Blood gushed out. Her body became cold and fell to the ground directly.
Her blood was so resplendent and beautiful.
She died. She resolutely chose her own way of dying.
This kind of unyielding action also shocked the group of women and children.
"Suicide? Hmph. Wash it clean and cook it as military rations. Two-legged sheep will be eaten when it dies. "A soldier sneered and dragged the woman's body away.
Many people were trembling. Fear had seeped into their bones.
The young man was being whipped by the soldiers as he worked hard.
He saw a young man dressed in plain clothes. His clothes had been whipped into tatters by a long whip. However, his strong physique gave him a resolute temperament. This was the temperament that many Chinese people were born with. Hardworking and conscientious, all for the sake of survival and being able to eat their fill.
In his eyes, there was a glimmer of unwillingness to be humiliated and wait for death.
Looking at the soldiers around him who were refined but didn't care much about them, the young man quietly moved closer to another man who looked very capable while carrying a rock.
The Xiongnu soldiers did not care about these captured Chinese people at all. Although they waved their whips and whipped them to the ground from time to time and laughed proudly, they were not too vigilant.
In the eyes of these Xiongnu soldiers, these people were just a flock of sheep. Now, they were making them valuable. When they were no longer valuable, they would be slaughtered and eaten as military rations. How could a flock of sheep resist a pack of lions and wolves?
There were not even many soldiers guarding them.
In this military camp, no one thought that these slaves could do anything big. These people of the Central Plains were just a flock of little sheep.
Moreover, most of the Xiongnu people did not know Chinese. They did not communicate with each other at all. They did not bother to talk.
"Guang, now that we are in the hands of the foreign tribes, we will be tortured every day. Every day, we will be treated like slaves and eat less than dogs. If this goes on, we will die sooner or later. After we die, we will be eaten as military rations by these foreign tribes. Our current situation, no matter how you look at it, is death. Why don't we escape? If we escape and get caught, we'll die. If we do hard labor in this military camp, we'll also die in the end. Either way, we'll die. Why don't we die with a bang? "The young man walked to the side of another lean man and whispered.
Their voices were very low and they did not deliberately approach. The Xiongnu people did not understand and did not care.
"Sheng, do you have a plan? There are too many Xiongnu soldiers and they have warhorses. If we move, we will be caught quickly and it will be difficult for us to escape, "the capable man also whispered back.
"I have thought about it carefully. There are many people in the Central Plains, and there are also young men who have served as soldiers. There are also many good men from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks. As long as we discuss and move together, we will charge out of the camp. There is a forest next to us. Once we enter the forest, these Xiongnu people will not be able to find us. When the time comes, we can gather together and make a name for ourselves, "the young man said in a low voice.
"Then we will secretly contact the other good men. I know someone who still has a few bags of knockout powder. When the time comes, we will find a way to pour it into the Xiongnu people's food and water. Even if it does not knock them out, it will make them sleepy. At that time, our chance will come. "
"Guang, you contact the other good men. I will observe the terrain."
"Sheng, don't worry. I already know that many people are dissatisfied with the current situation."
The two of them spoke in low voices and did not continue for long before they naturally separated. It was as if they had not communicated before. Even the nearby Xiongnu people did not notice. Even if they did, they did not care. They were very secretive. It was as if they were just exchanging pleasantries.
However, all this fell into the bright eyes of a woman and a child.
Her tattered and dirty clothes were very inconspicuous among the women and children. However, her eyes were very bright as she quietly observed the scene around her. The scene of the two men whispering to each other immediately fell into her eyes. Her expression was one of shock, excitement, and anticipation. However, the light in her eyes quickly disappeared and she became even more inconspicuous. She was hidden in the crowd.
"Alright, this is the Xuanhuang Village that I built. I believe that the village has already prepared hot soup for everyone to welcome you." Yi Tianxing withdrew his gaze from the place where the phoenix left and said to Yang Ye and the people around him with a smile.
"We just moved here and a phoenix flew in the sky. This is an auspicious sign." Yang Yanping's eyes flashed with a smile as he quickly said.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Yang Ye nodded in agreement.
In the hearts of the ancient people, auspicious signs were very important. Not to mention that people would believe in false ones, let alone the auspicious signs that appeared directly in front of them. Looking at Yi Tianxing, he thought to himself, "Could it be that Yi Tianxing is really blessed with great fortune and will achieve great things? A phoenix flying in the sky and descending in the valley. Could it be that he is really blessed by the heavens? "
Thinking in his heart, the way he looked at Yi Tianxing suddenly became a little different. There was a faint trace of respect in his eyes.
It was too much of a coincidence for this to happen.
Not only him, but even the people around looked at Yi Tianxing the same way. Why did the phoenix not appear earlier or later? Why did it appear when they arrived at the Xuanhuang Village? The people could not help but secretly think in their hearts. It was hard not to think about it.
Creak!
At this moment, the gate of the village opened.
