When old Ge tribe leader heard Chang Shan Yin's name from his subordinate's report, he was puzzled.
Now, at the banquet, after getting confirmation from Fang Yuan, he was very excited.
The group of elders also let out exclamations of admiration.
"Chang Shan Yin?" Ge Guang sat at the side, speaking in a puzzled tone.
"You are still young, it is natural that you do not know." Ge tribe leader sighed, instructing: "Son, quickly toast to Chang Shan Yin. He is not only your benefactor, he is also the hero of our northern plains! "
"Old tribe leader." Fang Yuan smiled bitterly, putting down the wine cup in his hand: "I am not a hero, I am only a wanderer in dire straits. Maybe it is the blessing of Longevity Heaven that allowed me to escape from the brink of death. But after sleeping for twenty years, when I woke up, everything had changed. I am an unfilial son, I have no face to return to the tribe. "
Saying so, Fang Yuan's tears flowed down.
The elders sighed.
Old Ge tribe leader quickly consoled him: "Benefactor Chang Shan Yin, what are you saying? If you are not the hero of our Northern Plains, then who else is? In the past, Ha Tu Gu's bandits were so savage, countless tribes were robbed by them, the weaker tribes were even slaughtered by them, not even their cows or sheep were spared. "
"You killed them, you got rid of a huge threat for northern plains. Your mother was harmed by scoundrels, it was not because you were unfilial. On the contrary, your virtue and righteousness are widely known, we all know about it. Your return is a blessing for our northern plains' righteous path. "
"Lord tribe leader is right!"
"To think that sir is Chang Shan Yin, it is our honor to see the hero today."
"That's right, the hero Chang Shan Yin has returned, it is a great blessing for our righteous path!"
The clan elders praised him one after another.
Ge Guang's eyes shone, only now did he know that Fang Yuan had such a huge background and so many stories. This further increased his admiration towards Fang Yuan.
"Let bygones be bygones. Everyone, it is fate that we met, let us drink. " Fang Yuan did not want to talk about this, he knew about Chang Shan Yin's past, but it was best to avoid it.
He had a melancholy air about him.
Everyone observed his expression and did not mention the past, only talking about the banquet.
After confirming Chang Shan Yin's identity, Fang Yuan was warmly received.
The banquet lasted from morning until late at night. Many elders were drunk, if not for Fang Yuan pretending to be drunk, he would not have been able to get away.
On the second day, Ge tribe leader invited Fang Yuan to a banquet.
"Benefactor Chang Shan Yin, this is a small gift to thank you for saving my son's life. Before the banquet started, the old tribe leader gifted Fang Yuan a million primeval stones.
Fang Yuan was slightly surprised, he did not expect there to be so many gifts.
Ge tribe was only a small to mid-sized tribe, they were financially strapped, this could be seen from the layout of the camp and the clothes of the people.
He was poor now, these northern plains Yuan stones could solve his urgent need, he immediately accepted it: "Ge tribe leader, I did not save Ge Guang for this money. But to speak the truth, I have clean sleeves and am lacking Yuan stones. I will not stand on ceremony. I will definitely repay Ge tribe's kindness. "
Hearing Fang Yuan's last sentence, Ge tribe leader, Ge Guang and the elders laughed.
To be able to befriend an expert like Chang Shan Yin, to have a relationship with such a hero, it was something that small to mid-sized tribes like them had always wanted to do.
The banquet continued, the atmosphere was even more lively than yesterday.
Yesterday was the first time they met, but today, both sides were familiar with each other. Fang Yuan toasted everyone, remembering the names of every elder.
This made all the elders feel flattered, they felt even closer to Chang Shan Yin.
During the banquet, some were curious about Fang Yuan's experiences.
Fang Yuan said the words he had already prepared, in front of everyone. It was probably the same words he used to deceive Ge Yao, but it was more accurate than deceiving a young girl.
The main point was his cultivation, because of his injuries, he had fallen from rank four peak stage to initial stage.
There were no flaws in his words, everyone exclaimed and sighed, they felt even more admiration towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan, on the other hand, was sighing, he did not care about his past achievements, his gaze was filled with vicissitudes and his tone was melancholic.
Ge tribesmen saw that the legendary hero had such a painful side, such a side, they felt sad and sympathized with him, they felt even closer to Fang Yuan.
On the third day, Ge tribe continued to invite guests, showing great enthusiasm.
An unfamiliar elder appeared at the banquet this time. He was in charge of Ge tribe's intelligence, when Fang Yuan came to the camp, he was ordered to lead a group to search for Ge Yao.
"Sigh, it's all my fault. I have an unruly little girl, I have spoiled her too much. This time, she actually ran away from the marriage! "Ge tribe leader sighed.
"That's right, big brother Chang Shan Yin, you have returned from poison grassland. Did you see my sister on the way? "Ge Guang asked.
Fang Yuan had no hesitation, his expression was very natural as he replied: "Apologies, I had wolves as my companions along the way. You are the first batch of people I met, so I feel very close to you. "
Ge Guang was only asking casually, he did not have any expectations.
Furthermore, poison grassland was so big, it was normal that Fang Yuan did not meet her. Even if he did, it would be a rare thing.
"There is no news of my insensible sister now, I really don't know where she escaped to. Sigh … now it is troublesome, Man tribe leader's second son Man Duo is the one who asked for her hand in marriage. Now that she ran away, Man Duo will not be able to get her, he will probably vent his anger on our Ge tribe. "
Ge Guang frowned, sighing deeply.
The other elders' expressions also sank, these days, Man tribe had been pressuring them more and more.
What they did not know was that Chang Shan Yin, whom they had warmly received for the past three days, had already killed Ge Yao.
"Trees die when moved, but people live when moved. Brother Ge, why are you so reluctant to leave this place. There is only over a year left until the blizzard. Your tribe can move to the north, participate in the heroes assembly and attach to the Huang Jin tribe. That way, you can hide in Imperial Court blessed land when the blizzard arrives. "Fang Yuan urged.
It was not easy to survive in the Gu Master world, the environment was cruel.
In southern border, people set up villages and easily attracted beast tides. But northern plains had no mountains to rely on, it would be baptized by the blizzard.
Every ten years in northern plains, there would be a huge blizzard that engulfed the whole of northern plains.
At that time, for several months, the sky would turn dark and snow would fall everywhere. The cold wind was biting cold, like a knife. Pure white snow covered the sky and covered the earth. The whole grassland would freeze into a world of ice and snow.
Every time there was a snowstorm, a large number of living beings would perish. Wolves, foxes, eagles, flowers and grasses, as well as humans, were not spared.
Especially in the blizzard, large numbers of wild beast Gu worms would be born, possessing great offensive power.
Often, after a blizzard, a large tribe in northern plains would be reduced to a medium sized tribe. When a medium sized tribe was reduced to a small sized tribe, the losses in population and casualties would be huge.
Old Ge tribe leader heaved a long sigh: "Brother Shan Yin, I am already old, I no longer have the ambitions I had when I was young. Attaching ourselves to the Huang Jin tribe will drag our Ge tribe into the whirlpool of war. It is fine if we succeed, but if we fail, the consequences will be too severe. Our Ge tribe will have difficulty moving forward, we cannot afford it. "
"The struggle for the Imperial Court is not something a small tribe like ours can participate in. Actually, the environment here is not bad, the land is fertile and the plants are plentiful. Especially in the vicinity, there is a Hong Yan valley that is spewing out earth fire. During the snowstorm, my clan will move into the valley and we will be able to get through this. "
But Hong Yan valley was tightly controlled by the overlord force here, Man tribe.
If Ge tribe wanted to enter Hong Yan valley, they would have to discuss with Man tribe.
Man Duo's marriage proposal from Ge Yao was a very good opportunity. For the benefit of the entire tribe, sacrificing a daughter's happiness in marriage was a very good deal for old Ge tribe leader and Ge Guang.
For the sake of the collective, sacrificing individual benefits, this was the most common phenomenon in the system.
But now that Ge Yao had escaped the marriage, there was no news of her. Man tribe had been pressuring for her, but Ge tribe could not hand her over.
Fang Yuan heard Ge tribe leader's words and immediately understood the other party's intention — he wanted Man tribe.
He understood this very well, but felt pity in his heart.
The heroes assembly was his next destination. If the other party migrated, he could still travel together, and the risk would be much lower.
At the mention of the blizzard and the Man Clan, everyone's spirits dropped.
"Brother Shan Yin, do you really not want to return to Chang tribe?" Old Ge tribe leader asked.
"Of course not, if I return, wouldn't my impersonation be exposed even more easily!" Fang Yuan thought this, but he said: "Sigh, with my current situation, I have no face to face my fellow tribesmen."
Old Ge tribe leader nodded, expressing his understanding and also some sympathy.
Chang Shan Yin slept for twenty years, when he woke up, everything had changed. His mother died, his wife remarried his brother. Chang tribe became his sore spot, it was normal for him to not be able to face them now.
At the banquet earlier, Fang Yuan had mentioned that he wanted to go to the heroes assembly, and at the same time, recover his cultivation.
"Brother, if you really want to participate in the heroes assembly, just the wolf group in your hands is not enough. Why don't you stay for a few days and rest. "The old tribe leader suggested.
Fang Yuan nodded, not being polite: "I have the same intention, but I will have to trouble everyone."
"Not at all, it is our honor that you can stay here as a guest!" The old tribe leader laughed, expressing his welcome.
Ge Guang also laughed, "In a few days, it will be the good day for the nearby tribes to open their markets together. Uncle Chang can go take a look. "
Like this, Fang Yuan stayed.
A few days later, the Ge tribe broke camp and headed towards the southwest, meeting up with the other large tribes.
A huge market was quickly formed between the tribes.
