On the way up the mountain, Tang Kuo was aroused by Ximen Qing, and told Ximen Qing a legend about the Jurchens.
It is said that a long time ago, the most powerful tribe that ruled the Jurchens was not the Wanyan tribe, but the Punie tribe of the Tuwenshui Five Kingdoms City.
Bayimen, the leader of the Punie tribe, was a fierce and brutal ruler who threatened the Jurchen tribes with violence to obey his rule.
At that time, the great shaman of Tang Kuobu who lived in the Shuaishui River Basin was named Shipi De Aguzhi. He gave birth to a beautiful daughter named Duobaozhen. She was a very open-minded girl and was famous for her hospitality.
Ba Yimen, the leader of the Pu Nie tribe, heard the name of Duobaozhen, a beautiful woman of the Tang Kuo tribe, coveted her beauty, and coveted her.In addition, Bayimen also wanted to marry the great shaman Shipi De Aguzhi to consolidate his rule, so he wanted to marry Duobaozhen.
However, Shi Pi De A Guzhi had already married Duobaozhen to Ugunai, the ancestor of Wanyan tribe, and Bayimen of Punie tribe came a step later.
Ba Yimen, who coveted Duobao's beauty, became angry and used force to persecute Wanyan's tribe. The war between Punie's tribe and Wanyan's tribe was on the verge of breaking out.
At that time, the strength of the Wanyan tribe was not as good as that of the Punie tribe, and they confronted the powerful Bayimen who were difficult to win.Ugunai and Dobo, who are in love after marriage, are facing a huge test.
After discussing with Ugunai, Duobaozhen decided to sacrifice himself to preserve the Wanyan and Tang Kuo tribes, bow down to please the Bayimen, and wait for the opportunity to cooperate with Ugunai to kill the Bayimen and attack the Punie tribe.
Therefore, Ugunai, who endured the humiliation, sent his wife Duobaozhen to Bayimen to make a good relationship with the Punie tribe.Seeing that Ugunai was submissive to him, the cruel Bayimen gradually relaxed his vigilance towards Ugunai.
When Duo Baozhen arrived at the Five Kingdoms City, he first offered his courtesies and Ba Yimen.She won the trust and joy of Ba Yimen with her skillful words, singing, and good at socializing, and she was deeply loved by Bayimen.
Therefore, Duobaozhen secretly informed Ugunai, and in the name of going out for fun, led Bayimen out of the heavily defended Wuguo City, let him fall into Ugunai's ambush, and successfully ambushed and killed Bayimen.
The leader of the Pu Nie tribe was killed, and for a while, the dragons had no leader, and they were in chaos.The Wanyan tribe and the Tang Kuo tribe, who had been accumulating strength secretly for a long time, took the opportunity to jointly defeat the Punie tribe and seize the ruling power of the Jurchens.
After defeating the Punie tribe, Ugunai of the Wanyan tribe occupied the territory of the Punie tribe, Tu Wenshui, and handed it over to Tang Kuo's most loyal ally.In this way, the Tang Kuo tribe also thrived in the Tuwenshui Basin and became more powerful.
Ugunai and Duobaozhen love each other as before, and now the Wanyan clan's descendants are all their descendants.The generational friendship between the Tang Kuo tribe and the Wanyan tribe also originated from this.
After listening to the stories and legends in Tang Kuo's mouth, Ximen Qing thought to himself that history is written by the victors, and it is difficult to judge the right and wrong of Ba Yimen, Wu Gunai and Duobaozhen, but this The real information revealed by the story is that the Wanyan tribe and the Tang Kuo tribe jointly seized the Jurchens' ruling power.
The intrigues of these Jurchens should not be underestimated!
Chapter 6 Twelve: The Hero Meets the Bear
Ximen Qing and Tang Kuo talked lazily, and rode up to the top of the mountain, and heard the faint sound of a waterfall coming from the other side of the mountain.
Tang Kuo looked around lazily, and after careful identification for a while, he suddenly said, "This place, isn't this place Hu Kaishan? The location of the two of us seems to be Songpeng Mountain!"
"We came to Songpeng Mountain? Brother Talan, can you recognize the path of the mountain?" Ximen Qing asked Tang Kuo, Talan.
For some reason, Ximen Qing always felt that this Tang Kuo was too lazy, just like the Tang Kuo in his story, who was hiding something from him.
"Ximen Qingbojin, it's not difficult to go down the mountain. Isn't there the sound of water ahead? The easiest way to get out of the lost mountain forest is to go down the mountain stream. The Songpeng Mountain and the Hu Kaishan is the same, the streams on the mountain are all branch sources of Yachuhushui, as long as we go down the river, we can get out of this mountain and go to Yachuhushui River." Tang Kuo pointed lazily at the valley in front of him, relaxed Said.
How could Ximen Qing, who came from later generations, not know these basic common sense of living in the wild?It's just that the sun is setting now, and it's almost dark.It's not easy to walk at night, I'm afraid I will spend a night in the mountains with Tang Kuo.Maybe, looking at the high mountains and dense forests, you can still fight a few wild wolves along the way.
After determining the direction, Ximen Qing and Tang Kuo tart lazily got off their horses, led the horses, followed the path, and circled down the valley towards the sound of the waterfall.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the golden sunlight reflected on Songpeng Mountain through the clouds. The trees cast long shadows, pointing to the east of the mountain, cutting the west slope into small oblique pieces.
Press out of Hushui is located at the foot of the west side of Songpeng Mountain, so Ximen Qing and Tang Kuo Talan walked down the west side of the hill.
After turning around two mountain ridges and passing through a dense forest, Ximenqing and his two descended to the middle of the mountain, only to hear the sound of "rumbling" water in front of them getting louder, and damp water vapor could already be smelled in the air.Apparently, the waterfall in the valley was approaching.
Because they were close to the river valley, the mountain road became more slippery. Ximen Qing and his two slowed down, carefully leading their mounts down the steps to prevent the horses from slipping and falling.
Finally, the steep slope turned into a gentle mountain shrub valley, which should be very close to the mountain stream. The road became much easier to walk, and Ximen Qing's arm holding the rein also relaxed.
At the moment when the two were relaxing, the two horses suddenly neighed in panic, snorted uneasily, and shook their heads wildly, trying to break free from the reins in the hands of Ximen Qing and the other two.
"There are beasts!" Ximen Qing yelled, holding on to the horse tightly, and reached out to get the bow and arrow on the horse's back.
Tang Kuo was caught off guard, and felt a pain in his hand, so he couldn't help letting go of the horse's reins. After the handsome white horse broke free, it ran with all four hooves, and took away Tang Kuo's laziness on the horse's back. Bows and swords.
"Come back!" Tang Kuo was about to catch up with the white horse when a black shadow suddenly enveloped him.
Tang Kuo looked up lazily, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He saw a big bear about one foot high standing up in the bushes, and it was rushing towards him.
Perhaps this big bear was drinking water by the stream, but it was led by Ximen Qing and two horses. Compared with Ximen Qing, who was wearing blue clothes and leading a yellow puma, and Tang, who was wearing white clothes and leading a white horse, Kuotalan is more eye-catching at dusk and has become the preferred target of this big bear.
Tang Kuoting lazily widened his frightened eyes, and stood there for a moment, forgetting to dodge.
"嗖~嗖~" Two sharp and urgent sounds came from Tang Kuo's ears, and two sharp long arrows passed by him, and shot respectively at the crescent-shaped chest and left shoulder of the big bear. .
But the big bear's skin was rough and thick, and the two arrows Ximen Qing shot in a hurry didn't hit the big bear's weak points, which only made the big bear even crazier after being injured.The big bear raised its paw, and slapped Tang Kuo's lazy head with one palm.
Tang Kuo's Talan was already petrified, and was standing there trying to pull out the dagger at his waist, not knowing how to avoid the big bear's palm.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ximen Qing didn't care too much, dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, rushed over from behind, and rolled into the nearby bushes with Tang Kuoting in his arms.
The big bear slapped the air with its palm and slapped the ground with a "boom", splashing a lot of sand, gravel and mud. "Oh ow~" After yelling loudly, the berserk big bear rushed towards Ximen Qing.
Just as Ximen Qing rolled over from the ground, he squatted halfway on the grass, and pulled out his two snowflake iron goose feather knives from his waist. He fell down heavily.
"Ah~" Ximen Qing, who was under Big Bear, let out a shrill scream.
"Ximen Qing!" Tang Kuo Talan, who was on the grass next to him, woke up from the panic after being attacked, and suddenly pulled out his waist knife and threw himself on the bear's back, stabbing the big bear with the knife desperately.
"Oh~" Big Bear's back was bleeding profusely, and he howled after being injured.The big bear scratched and stomped on the grass with its four paws, shrugged its shoulders, and threw Tang Kuo Tarlan off its back.
At this time, Tang Kuo Talan recovered his agility. He bounced on the grass, jumped onto the bear's back, grabbed the bear's ears with one hand, and stabbed the bear's head with the short knife tightly with the other hand. Eyes, neck and other vital parts.
The big bear wailed a few times, each weaker than the last, and suddenly spouted a lot of blood, its limbs stopped scratching on the grass, and lay down quietly on the grass.
"Ximenqing~Ximenqing~" Tang Kuota yelled lazily and stabbed wildly with a knife, not realizing that the big bear under him had lost its vitality.
"Brother Tarlan~Tartlan, I~I'm not dead! Get out of the way and help me out!" Ximen Qing's voice suddenly came from under Big Bear.
"Ximen Qing, are you alright? Great, I'll rescue you!" Tang Kuotat lazily jumped off the bear's back, dropped the dagger in his hand, and pushed the bear with both arms.
But the big bear weighed more than a thousand catties, Tang Kuoting tried his best to push it, but he couldn't move it.
"Ximen Qing, please wait a moment!" Tang Kuo went to the edge of the woods to pick up a thick branch and wooden stick, ran back to the big bear's body in two steps, and inserted the wooden stick obliquely under the big bear's body , with his shoulders against the wooden stick, he pried vigorously, and finally pried the big bear's body up.
Ximen Qing had been feeling uncomfortable under the bear's body for a long time. Seeing a slight looseness, he immediately shrank his legs against the big bear's chest and abdomen and kicked it violently. With Tang Kuo's help, he kicked the big bear to the ground In the middle, he escaped from under the big bear.
Tang Kuo lazily pulled up Ximen Qing who was covered in blood, hugged him suddenly, and shouted excitedly: "Haha~ Ximen Qing, I saved you! I saved you!"
Chapter 6 Thirteen Who Saved Who
When Tang Kuoting lazily yelled excitedly at Ximen Qing, a strange light suddenly flashed in Ximen Qing's eyes.He pushed Tang Kuo Tarlan away, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Hahaha~Tang Kuo~Talan~little brother! You didn't save me, I saved you!"
Tang Kuoting listened lazily, rolled his eyes, bent down and picked up his small waist knife from the ground, and shouted at Ximen Qing: "Brother Ximen Qing, you can turn black and white. I didn't use this precious knife to kill that Blind bear, you have already been eaten by it! Why, seeing that I hunted and killed a big bear, Brother Ximenqing, are you going to play tricks?"
The big bear on the ground was blinded by Tang Kuotai's laziness, and it was indeed a blind bear.
The corners of Ximen Qing's mouth curled up, and he stared blankly at Tang Kuo Tarlan asking for credit there. After Tang Kuo Tarlan finished speaking, he smiled loudly and turned the big bear over completely, revealing the chest and abdomen with crescent-shaped white fur. .
