Wuliang Mountain and Ailao Mountain are located at the intersection of Jianning County, Yelang County and Pingman County. Although they have been in the hinterland of the southern dynasty since ancient times, the tribes among the mountains and ridges have even failed to speak the language at every few hills. The customs and habits of each tribe rely on for survival are different, and most of them are even in a state of self-sufficiency. There is very little trade between tribes in the mountains, let alone the southern dynasties outside.

Lin Yi read a variety of books. He also read some miscellaneous notes about Wuliang and Ailao Mountain. Most of these miscellaneous notes were written by some caravans or travelers who like to explore the mountains. What impressed him most was a miscellaneous note that the tribes in Wuliang and Ailao Mountain lacked salt. Because Wuliang and Ailao only produce coarse red clay salt that can be eaten by animals but cannot be eaten by people, the price of salt is very high. However, because the road is blocked, the death and injury of mules and horses made the caravan feel fleshy.

It is unpaid, and the transactions between these tribes are exchanged for goods, which is extremely difficult to communicate, so almost no caravan wants to make profits. Most of the tribes in Wuliang Mountain and Ailao Mountain are mashed into sour sauce from the mountains, which is considered as salt. In order to avoid light taste and poor appetite, various spicy fruits were collected and seasoned, the traveler also sighed in his miscellaneous notes that the food of many tribes in Wuliang Mountain is extremely sour and spicy for the outside world and difficult to swallow.

Among the miscellaneous notes I have read in Jiankang City, it is said that the leaders of the tribes in Wuliang Mountain and Ailao Mountain are called Tusi. But as they walked along the way, listening to Muen constantly explaining the tribes in Wuliang Mountain and Ailao Mountain, Lin Yi knew that these records were too one-sided.

Among Wuliang Mountain and Ailao Mountain, there are only two or three tribes called Tusi. The largest Mile tribe among these three tribes was destroyed during the rebellion of the twelve tribes against the emperor of the previous dynasty.

The ethnic groups that are mainly among the two mountains are Baiyi, Yi people, Tianyao, and Mizhuang. These ethnic groups have many tribes. Although they have the same ancestors, many of them occupy the mountains and forests and do not have close contact.

Half of these tribes relies on collection and planting to make a living, while half rely on fishing and hunting. In fact, it is determined by the conditions of the forests where their respective tribes are located.

When the twelve tribes rebelled at the end of the previous dynasty, these tribes in the mountains actually knew less about the external dynasties. They consciously fought with the outside dynasties, which was similar to the battles among some tribes in the mountains. However, when they really fought, they found that it was not the same thing at all. The scattered methods of the tribes encountered a large army of established institutions. Although they occupied the right time and place, they were unable to compete with a large number of practitioners and excellent weapons.

In addition to the secret purchase and disagreement of the Southern Dynasties later, if it weren't for the Bai Gu Sect and Tianmu Wax coming out to mediate, except for those who defected to the Southern Dynasties, all the twelve tribes would probably have been exterminated.

It is necessary to hide whereabouts. Lin Yi and others walked on foot when they left Tie Ce Army, and they did not walk on the official road, but they walked on the path.

However, Lin Yi and others are all practitioners, and even Xiao Suxin's cultivation level is completely different from when he left the Nantianyuan at that time, so the daily speed of the group was extremely fast. In addition, Mu En was very familiar with the terrain of this area, so it took only a few days to officially enter the realm of Ailao Mountain.

Even though it was not deep in Ailao Mountain, the lush green of the peaks and mountains in the distance filled everyone's eyes. In addition to green, the white fog also became the protagonist here. Often, before more than a dozen breaths, the forest ahead was still clear, but suddenly a thick fog floated, but there was water vapor around in an instant, and no one was seen opposite.

No matter which city is the North and South Dynasty, anyone chooses to build a house, which will be open and bright, so that they can avoid snakes and insects. However, these tribes in Ailao Mountain often seem to like to hide in the dense forests of the valley. During the next half day of marching, Lin Yi saw some pine-built stilt houses in four or five valleys.

Compared with Meishan, although there are often mists inexplicably floating among the mountains here, it seems that because of the high terrain and the floating clouds, most of the forests appear very dry and the climate is cooler.

So it is obvious that not to mention spiritual herbs and elixirs, there are even fewer weeds and wild flowers of all kinds, and the species are obviously relatively single.

This should be the biggest reason for the lack of interest in Wuliang Mountain and Ailao Mountain in the outside world. The most obvious manifestation is that the mountains and forests here are obviously easier to walk on than Meishan, and there are obviously still traces of activities among the forests that are passing by. However, on the marching map that Lin Yi brought before departure, the mountains and forests in front were already blank, which means that until now, since Xiao Yan ascended the throne, no one in the Southern Dynasties seemed to want to explore the depths of Ailao, and he did not even have the interest in completing the military map.

But Muen is the living map of this mountain.

Before the night came again, he passed through a pine forest with ease, and a complete wooden building appeared in their sight.

There is a pattern similar to chrysanthemums and bats on the walls and doors of this small wooden building.

"This is the mark of the Nanli tribe of the Baiyi tribe. The Baiyi tribe is the most uncontested tribe in Ailao Mountain. When the twelve tribes rebelled, the largest tribe of the Baiyi tribe even moved to Liangshan for a long distance. Now the Nanli tribe in Ailao Mountain is also the most hospitable. This is their traveler building. Anyone can rest in it, and they usually prepare some food."

Muen explained while pushing the door and entering the building.

What he said was right, just leaning against the pottery jar on the door, there were a lot of buckwheat.

There was a hanging brazier in the building, and Muen directly raised the fire.

The stilt houses of these tribes in the mountains are built in the forest, and fires are directly made in the house. Since ancient times, it is for heating and smoking food. Another important reason is that the fire can be directly concealed, and even the smoke is eliminated from the roof, which is difficult to see outside.

"There is still a day to get to Baishe Mountain here. You can walk in two days or arrive before dark tomorrow." Mu En looked at Lin Yi and said, "The advantage of walking in two days is that we can arrive at noon the day after tomorrow. The light in the mountains and forests is good. If there is a trap and ambush, you can also notice it."

"It shouldn't be used."

Lin Yi looked out the building. Now his eyesight was not much different from that in the dark and daytime. At this time, he could even vaguely see many huge birds hovering above the distant forest.

These birds are not mountain eagles, but some huge bats, with hooked claws on their flesh wings.

Mu En seemed to have expected Lin Yi to answer like this. He nodded and said, "Then hurry up tomorrow and arrive before dark."

...

When it was just dawn, Lin Yi and others continued to move.

The temperature in this mountain varies greatly throughout the day.

When the sun is not strong in the early morning, there is cold everywhere like in early winter. However, at noon when the sun is strong, the heat is amazing, and the sunlight hits directly on your body feels a little hot.

After continuous rapid progress, even Chen Kun was sweating, but Lin Yi was still dry all over. This was not because he consciously controlled his skin and flesh to prevent himself from sweating. But as his cultivation level improved over the years, not only did his skin and flesh become more tough, but even the temperature changes in the outside world did not seem to have much impact on him.

Baishe Mountain is the most terrifying place where poisonous insects are everywhere, but Lin Yi is not afraid of poisonous snakes, and his ordinary weapons do not threaten him, so he walked alone in front of the way.

His perception at this time should have exceeded that of ordinary practitioners in the realm of divine thoughts. There was a slight movement among the dead leaves around the grass and leaves, and he immediately realized it.

There was no surprise along the way. Occasionally, an inconspicuous thin snake covered with silver ring markings wanted to lean down from the fine branches above and bit him, but he slapped him away.

With his beastly enlightenment, he arrived at Baishe Mountain half an hour earlier than Muen expected.

This mountain is like many peaks passing by. Many mountains and forests are surrounded by fog, but the difference is that many of the fog in this mountain forest has a strange color.

Some are yellow, while others have a pink color.

These are miasma.

Among them, there is a forest covered by yellow-green miasma, which is halfway up the southeast of the mountain. It looks as thin as gauze and even looks a little beautiful, and there are some earthen buildings.

According to Muen's previous introduction, those villages before Tianmu Wax are now camping sites where young people from Tianmu Wax go to the mountains to experience their experience.

This has been taken to the place.

According to Mu En's consistent understanding, the total number of young Tianmu Wax warriors who experienced in Baishe Mountain is about forty or fifty.

Now it depends on what strategy Lin Yi uses to deal with the young people who are so young.

He was waiting for Lin Yi to make a plan, but looking at his face, Chen Kun was the first to laugh.

Mu En didn't understand Lin Yi enough, but they all knew Lin Yi very well.

Lin Yi’s plan is that there is no plan.
