Volume 4 Peach Blossom Chapter 22 Five Alliances
Lu Qingshan felt helpless.
Dahan obviously didn't have a clear concept of numbers, so he could only use empty words like "very far away" and "a lot" to express it, which made the information appear very vague.
But at least he had a useful clue that allowed him to continue pursuing the search, instead of being like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere, trying his luck to find a needle in a haystack.
When you think there is no way out, suddenly you see another village with willows and flowers!
Now that he had a clue, Lu Qingshan quickly turned around and said goodbye to Sang Ku, "Village Chief Sang, I have solved your problem for you now. I have something urgent to do here, so I'll leave now."
There was still some surprise on Sang Ku's face. It was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the truth that the beast he thought was a ferocious beast was actually a fool.
However, after seeing Lu Qingshan preparing to say goodbye and leave, he hesitated for a moment, and finally called out to Lu Qingshan, "Daoyou Lu!"
"What's wrong?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, the people it mentioned who were with the deer demon you are looking for should be from the Spirit Snake Tribe." Sang Ku's eyes flashed.
"Spirit Snake Tribe?" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but frown.
"Brother Daoist Lu, you should know us witch practitioners, right?" Sang Ku asked.
Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "I've heard some news, but I don't know much about it."
"After all, our Wu Xiu lineage has been hiding in the Three Thousand Mountains for so many years. For so many years, we have been cut off from the outside world. It is natural that the outside world does not know much about us."
Sang Ku didn't take it seriously and explained with a smile, "Our witch cultivation lineage originated from ancient times. We cultivate the physical body and the five poisons. There are five divisions in total. This division has been passed down like this and has never changed. The five divisions correspond to the five poisons, namely the Tianlong Division representing centipedes, the Lingshe Division representing venomous snakes, the Shougong Division representing geckos, the Yinkui Division representing scorpions, and the Jinchan Division representing toads. Although the five divisions have the same origin, they are very different and live separately. Our Black Scorpion Village belongs to the Yinkui Division and wears black turbans, while the Lingshe Division wears gray turbans."
"So that's how it is." Lu Qingshan nodded.
"The closest Spirit Snake Village to our Black Scorpion Village is the White Flower Snake Village in the southeast," Sang Ku took out a map and pointed a direction to Lu Qingshan on the map. He then reminded him, "However, the head of the White Flower Snake Village is a great cultivator in the Golden Core Stage. In addition, it is said that there are more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators in the White Flower Snake Village. If Fellow Daoist Lu really wants to go there, even if Fellow Daoist Lu is very powerful, he must remember to be careful to avoid getting into trouble. The Spirit Snake Tribe is now the most difficult to provoke among the five tribes."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Lu Qingshan became interested and asked.
Sang Ku sighed and continued to explain: "Since the catastrophe in ancient times, we witches have had to survive in the Three Thousand Mountains.
But in such a dangerous place, even with poisonous spiritual flowers, it is difficult for most people to survive, especially mortals.
Mortals are the foundation of cultivators. No matter how powerful a cultivator is, he all started out as a mortal. Without these mortals, we witches will not be far from decline and disappearance.
So at that time, in order to gather resources and strength, the most advanced cultivators from the five divisions of our witch cultivators gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and finally we made up our minds to form an alliance of five divisions.
Although there are gaps between the five departments, in order to continue the inheritance, they can only choose to cooperate to take care of each other, help each other, and support each other.
Among them, the grand elder of the Five Tribes Alliance is in charge of the five tribes and pools their resources.
The position of the Grand Elder is chosen through a duel among the five tribes, and the person with the strongest power will take the position. The position of the Grand Elder will be changed every fifty years to avoid a situation where one tribe dominates alone."
After a pause, Sang Ku showed a look of fear on his face, and then continued: "At present, the chief elder of the Five Tribes Alliance is the great witch cultivator of the Spirit Snake Tribe, the Golden Snake Granny.
That Golden Snake Granny is not only powerful and ruthless, but also a vengeful and protective person.
The most important thing is that she has served as the grand elder for three consecutive times. She has absolute power in the Five Tribes Alliance, and the Spirit Snake Tribe is therefore extremely arrogant.
Therefore, Fellow Daoist Lu should try not to provoke the cultivators of the Spirit Snake Tribe easily.
If the deer that Fellow Daoist Lu is looking for is really captured by the monks of the Spirit Snake Tribe, you'd better see if you can get it back by bartering instead of taking it by force.
Otherwise, even if Fellow Daoist Lu can defeat the cultivators from the White Flower Snake Village, if he attacks the people from the Spirit Snake Tribe, he will most likely provoke the Golden Snake Granny."
"Thank you, Village Chief Sang." Lu Qingshan bowed in gratitude.
Even though he knew that Sang Ku was just returning a favor - he had no intention of saying this to Lu Qingshan from the beginning.
It was only because Lu Qingshan helped him solve the problem of Dahan that he was willing to talk to Lu Qingshan more this time.
But no matter what, since it was well-intentioned, Lu Qingshan was still grateful in his heart.
"Let's go to the White Flower Snake Village and see what's going on!" After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Qingshan made a decision.
Just as he was about to leave, Da Han stopped him and said, "How about I take you there?"
Being stared at by Lu Qingshan and the King of the Rat West, Da Han said shyly: "You helped me get down from the cliff and gave me a name. I haven't thanked you yet! You seem to be very anxious about the little deer. I am very fast and can take you there quickly."
Zuoyu is a spiritual beast famous for its speed, so what Dahan said is not false.
"Thank you for your help." Lu Qingshan didn't bother to be polite with Dahan.
"Come up." Dahanhan said with a smile.
Lu Qingshan leaped onto Dahan's back.
After Lu Qingshan stood firm, Dahan jumped with all four limbs, turned into an invisible afterimage, and quickly shuttled through the ancient forest.
…
One day later, White Flower Snake Village.
Although they are both called villages, the White Snake Village is obviously not comparable to the Black Scorpion Village.
A huge village was actually built here with a population of nearly 10,000.
Lu Qingshan released his spiritual sense and sensed the mountain village in front.
The village covers a vast area, with a length and width of nearly 100 miles, and is built mainly with wood from thousand-year-old trees.
These thousand-year-old trees are so hard that even if they are chopped down hard with a broadsword, they will remain unscathed. Their defensive power is no different from that of boulders.
There are people coming and going at the gate of the village. As a large tribe, Baihuashe Village often has people from other villages coming to do business and purchases, so the turnover of people is also quite high.
However, those responsible for guarding the gate of the mountain village are just mortals, and there are no immortal cultivators.
Lu Qingshan jumped off Dahan, patted Dahan's thigh and said, "Thank you."
Dahan smiled and said, "You're welcome."
It is obviously not possible to bring Dahan into the mountain village, otherwise it would be too conspicuous, and Dahan is not willing to contact humans, so Lu Qingshan said goodbye to Dahan here.
Keeping Sang Ku's reminder in mind and not wanting to cause any more trouble, Lu Qingshan pretended to be a mortal and quietly entered the White Flower Snake Village.
