Chapter 96

Before he switched, Master Zhang had already put on one of the headsets.

So when Master Zhang heard Zhang Lin’s voice coming from the headset, he was stunned for a moment.

But he quickly determined that it was not a recording, but the latest storytelling content.

Because in the headset, Zhang Lin was about to start telling the story of Wu Laogou’s past!

Zhang Lin had only told the beginning of Wu Laogou’s story before being interrupted by the Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin matter.

So the people on the archaeological team also learned about the Wu Laogou part while listening to the Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin.

Master Zhang heard Zhang Lin’s clear voice echoing in the headset.

"Everyone, since the archaeological team’s problem is temporarily solved and they are looking for the location of the real coffin, let’s continue the storytelling!"

"Today, I will tell the story of the Wu family’s grandfather, Wu Laogou, and a past event in the Miao frontier!"

"This experience was ups and downs, extremely bizarre; even I was a bit shocked when I first heard it."

"The legendary nature of the story itself cannot compare to the chaotic battle of the gods at the Jinshajiang riverbank by Black Back Sixth."

"But its bizarreness far exceeds all matters in the Central Plains!"

"I guarantee that after you hear it, you will find it hard to forget..."

Hearing this, the music of 'Spicy Girl' was switched in.

Master Zhang secretly sighed, what a pity. In fact, he was also very interested in Zhang Lin’s storytelling.

Others listen to stories for entertainment, but he can find many lost memories from the Nine Gates stories Zhang Lin tells!

This is also the reason why he would appear at the Sanqing Garden scene to listen to the stories.

A segment of Zhang Lin’s storytelling about the Blood Corpse Tomb that he heard randomly on his phone brought many memories back to his mind.

That is why he infiltrated the archaeological team and guided them into this Warring States ancient tomb.

The things that Master Zhang remembered also made him know that he seemed to be carrying some kind of mission.

As for what exactly it was, because of the soul-loss syndrome of the Zhang Qilin bloodline, he couldn't remember much clearly.

He could only enter the tomb himself and slowly search based on what he remembered.

And Zhang Lin’s mention of Dog Fifth Master’s past in the Miao frontier made many things appear in his mind again.

That seemed to be a scene from a very long time ago.

He seemed to have lived in a Miao frontier village too; many people and many scenes flashed by, eventually becoming blurred.

Master Zhang knew that perhaps when he finished listening to Zhang Lin’s storytelling, he would be able to remember more things.

Now he could only wait with everyone for Zhang Lin to finish the story of the Nine Gates.

At this time, Tian Zhen and Wang Pangzi, who were squatting on the side waiting for the archaeological team to find the secret passage, had been completely attracted by Zhang Lin’s story.

"This past of Dog Fifth Master happened on a tributary of the Lancangjiang River."

"Everyone knows that Yunnan has many waters and mountains; it is a good place for tourism."

"And on the tributaries of the Lancangjiang River, there are ethnic minority villages of all sizes."

"They live by the mountains and waters; they are the real mountain people!"

"In the years of Dog Fifth Master, many ethnic minorities in the mountains did not have contact with the Han people at all."

"Therefore, while they retained their simplicity, they also retained many mysterious and barbaric customs."

"It was on a tributary of the Lancangjiang River that Dog Fifth Master met that Miao girl who haunted his dreams!"

…….

Zhang Lin started telling the story of Wu Laogou’s past in the Miao frontier, instantly pulling everyone’s attention away from the archaeological team.

When Yin Yin Nanfeng heard about the Miao frontier, she felt it was out of tune with the temperament of the Nine Gates.

It seems that people in the Nine Gates rarely have involvement with ethnic minorities.

Especially since the environment in the Miao frontier is special, and the composition of personnel is relatively complex.

People from the Central Plains rarely have contact with ethnic minorities.

It was not only because of the language barrier in those years, making it difficult to communicate.

The main thing was that the ethnic minorities at that time were relatively xenophobic and maintained a high degree of vigilance against the Han people from the outside.

It is truly rare for someone like Wu Laogou to have a romantic story with a Miao girl!

As Wu Laogou’s old lover, Old Lady Huo’s face turned cold beyond words when she heard Zhang Lin say that Miao girls are affectionate.

She muttered: "What an old dog, it’s either a gentle woman from Jiangnan or an affectionate Miao girl!"

"I think Wu Laogou’s life should have ended in romanticism."

Chang San heard the old lady complaining about Dog Fifth Master, secretly raised his eyebrows, and didn't dare to speak.

The affair between the old lady and Dog Fifth Master had become known to everyone because of the storyteller downstairs.

Although the audience felt that people in the Jianghu don't care about small details, Old Lady Huo still minded very much that this past relationship was known by so many people.

Especially since she thought she was Wu Laogou’s first love, and Wu Laogou only married the current Mrs. Wu after her.

Unexpectedly, another Miao girl popped up here!

Old Lady Huo only felt her eyelids twitching; it was purely out of anger!

After so many years, mentioning Wu Laogou could still make her emotional.

I don't know whether to say that Huo Xian-gu is affectionate, or that the two have a fate without a future.

……

"I just said that this matter of Dog Fifth Master happened on a tributary of the Lancangjiang River."

"That year, he was still very young and had just ended a relationship with Huo Xian-gu, so he was feeling a bit depressed."

"So he hid it from his family and went to Yunnan alone to travel."

"Dog Fifth Master also knew that Yunnan has many mountains and hoped to find a few big tombs on this trip."

"As a result, the first half of this journey was indeed very leisurely and comfortable, and Dog Fifth Master’s mood was extremely relaxed."

"By the Lancangjiang River, there is a Weijiang River flowing into the river."

"The water of that river is completely different from the water of the Lancangjiang River!"

"The Lancangjiang River flows rapidly, but that Weijiang River was as calm as a mirror and as clear as crystal!"

"Dog Fifth Master was wealthy and generous; he used two gold leaves to buy a bamboo house that a Miao person had built by the river."

"The roof of that bamboo house was covered with banana leaves, and when the rain fell on it, it made a wonderful sound!"

"I don't know what method the Miao people used, but poisonous snakes and insects couldn't crawl into that house."

Hearing this, many listeners already had a yearning for Yunnan.

Such a beautiful pure land, living with heaven and earth, living in a bamboo house with a banana leaf roof, just thinking about it is very wonderful!

The listeners were also sighing that Dog Fifth Master knew how to enjoy himself.

To treat emotional injury, one must go to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters; only then can one feel relaxed!

"Originally, Dog Fifth Master planned to stay in such a beautiful place for two months, but one thing disrupted his plan."

"That night, Dog Fifth Master was rowing a small boat on the river, lying down and watching the stars."

"Watching the stars in such a place, the stars in the sky seem to be right in front of your eyes."

"While Dog Fifth Master was watching intently, he suddenly heard a burst of giggling coming from upstream."

"That giggling sound was very noticeable in the silent dark night."

"Dog Fifth Master was very curious, so he rowed upstream against the current to find the source of the giggling."

"He rowed for half an hour and suddenly saw many torches in the river, and those torches all came from a boat with a very strange appearance!"

"Actually, it wasn't one boat, but more than a dozen dugout canoes tied together head to tail."

"There were many people playing on the boat. Dog Fifth Master held the oar with one hand, making the boat spin around on the water, and held a telescope with the other to look into the distance."

"As a result, he found that there were men and women on the boat, and their attire was very strange, very different from the Miao people Dog Fifth Master had seen along the way!"

"Everyone here, some may not know much about the Miao people."

"But the Miao people in the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, and Guangxi in the Xia Kingdom, if you really want to distinguish different races, there are no less than hundreds of them. Miao people is just a general term."

"Dog Fifth Master naturally knew this, so out of curiosity, he kept looking forward, wanting to see clearly the differences of these Miao people."

"Unexpectedly, just as he was watching intently, there was a splash of water beside the small boat, and then he felt the boat tilt, and water splashed onto him."

"Dog Fifth Master was instantly startled and hurriedly put down the telescope, but the moment he lowered his head, he was completely stunned."

"He saw a girl with both hands clinging to the side of the boat, looking up at him."

"The girl’s face and hair were full of water droplets. Under the moonlight, those water droplets were like pearls, sliding down her face one by one!"

"Dog Fifth Master’s heart beat violently at that moment; he swore he had never seen such a beautiful girl in his life!"
