Chapter 671: One on the left and one on the right

Southern Xinjiang is a very loose structure. People living here are mainly in the form of tribes, which are manifested in various villages.

Although it seems to be a mess, in fact, Southern Xinjiang is unexpectedly united. Even if there are grudges between tribes, they will still work together.

This is because of the witches.

In Southern Xinjiang, the witches are not only religious leaders, but also medical leaders. In addition, they can use magic, and their status is only below the clan leader.

And there is usually no fighting between witches and witches. Even the witches from different tribes recognize each other more than their tribes.

So as long as the witches unite, Southern Xinjiang will unite. Under this general trend, the clan leader can only agree, otherwise he will not be able to be the clan leader.

The ceremony mentioned by Ran Xiaoyi refers to the ceremony of inviting the mountain god to possess the body.

It is true that Daxie is a mountain god, but the mountain god that Ran Xiaoyi's sister wants to call is different from Daxie. It should be said that there is no comparison in terms of fighting ability.

Once it succeeds, the news will spread quickly throughout southern Xinjiang, and then the witches of various tribes will follow the lead of Baofeng Village.

In this case, Baofeng Village said that it would cooperate with the people of the Western Regions to deal with the people of the Central Plains together, which would be the worst situation.

Ran Xiaoyi's sister's power has increased, which means that the ceremony has been successfully held, but it is not complete enough.

The ceremony is held according to the date, weather and astrology. It is very likely to be held soon, so Ran Xiaoyi said that tonight is the last chance.

Originally, everyone planned to go to Baofeng Village to find out, and now there is no reason to shirk.

It is best to mess it up before the ceremony is held. If it doesn't work, we must find out how far the cooperation between Baofeng Village and Tianlang Cult has progressed, and find out where the missing Ning Xian'er and others are. This will at least give the Central Plains martial arts world and even the Central Plains Dynasty some warning time.

The goal is clear, and the next question is how to act.

Ran Xiaoyi knows several secret passages leading to Baofeng Village, but the problem is that there are too many people on the scene, which is not suitable for exploration.

After a brief discussion, they decided to lead the thieves from the Sixteenth Village to go into the village to explore the intelligence. If there is a chance to disrupt the ceremony, it would be the best. If not, they would send a signal, and Zhou Wenyi, who was guarding outside, would lead people to fly directly into the village to fight head-on.

Of course, head-on confrontation is the last choice. Although the bamboo wall of Baofeng Village cannot stop these guys who are high and high, casualties are inevitable as long as there is a head-on conflict.

Baofeng Village has a special status in Southern Xinjiang. No matter which side suffers heavy casualties, it will intensify the conflict between Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang.

There is nothing wrong with the plan itself, but there is a small problem.

For example, Li Chengxi, who was watching all this on the screen, felt that he might have to stay up late again tonight...

–-------

When the moon climbed up the branches, the people who dared not even light a bonfire hurriedly ate something to fill their stomachs, leaving a few people to look after the wounded, and the rest followed Ran Xiaoyi to make turns in the forest.

The dense forest at night seemed even more terrifying and deep, especially when a pair of bright eyes flashed in the darkness from time to time, and it always felt that there were many wild animals nearby.

This ghost place is likely to get lost if you walk during the day. Ran Xiaoyi led everyone to walk at night, and she didn't turn back once. She was just like a self-guided navigation, and she could find the way very accurately.

After walking for almost half an hour, the vision in front of them became clear, and a fire appeared in front of everyone.

Under the dim light of the torch, everyone saw a large-scale fortress appearing under the big tree that seemed to be able to stand up to the sky. The wall was next to the mountain wall on one side, and the spring water flowed in front of the fortress gate like a natural moat.

This scale is more than ten times larger than Qingzhu Village, just like a small city.

Zhou Wenyi and most of the people in the rivers and lakes were left here. They would wait for the signal and rush over immediately if there was any change.

Wu Shaoyi was also in this group of people. After all, she could charge with a wheelchair, but she couldn't sneak with a wheelchair, which was still a bit limited.

The remaining people, except Ran Xiaoyi and a few southern Xinjiang people from Qingzhu Village, were Shiliu Village and Yang Yiyi.

With Yanbo Jiangjue, Yang Yiyi could also do the sneak work, provided that she didn't rush up to anyone she saw.

The team was reduced to a dozen people, and now it was walking around Baofeng Village and going to the side.

Ran Xiaoyi searched nearby for a while and found a piece of bamboo that had been laid on the ground. He asked people to move the bamboo away, and a dark cave was revealed underneath.

This was the secret passage in and out of Baofeng Village.

At present, the people of Baofeng Village did not seem to have blocked this place, which was good news, but the bad news was that there might be someone watching at the other end of the secret passage.

Everyone went into the cave one by one, took out the fire starter and blew it, and quietly followed Ran Xiaoyi to move forward.

The cave is neither wide nor deep, but as you walk, you can see an oversized tree root. The whole cave seems to be dug out by these tree roots. In some places, there are bottomless holes. No one knows how deep the tree is rooted.

After walking along the cave for about a quarter of an hour, Ran Xiaoyi signaled everyone not to make a sound.

Not far ahead, there appeared a stone wall that was obviously repaired by humans. Qin Yan walked over quickly, stuck to the wall and listened. After confirming that there was no movement behind the wall, Ran Xiaoyi signaled everyone to extinguish the fire and pull the mechanism on the side.

As the large sandbag fell in the dark, a gap appeared in the stone wall and opened left and right like a door. Everyone immediately poured in.

The place where they came in seemed to be a small warehouse. With the moonlight, they could see that the bamboo racks around were filled with iron farm tools such as hatchets and sickles, as well as a small number of weapons.

The smelting and forging technology in Southern Xinjiang was not very good. A lot of pig iron was actually obtained through trade with the Central Plains. Although the things in the warehouse were inconspicuous, they were very valuable in Southern Xinjiang.

Ran Xiaoyi found a snake stick from the wall on one side. Although it was not as convenient as her own, it could at least be used.

The heroes of the Sixteenth Village walked towards the door lightly. With a slight creaking sound from the door and two short screams that had not yet been uttered, they dragged two knocked-down Southern Xinjiang people in and put them against the wall.

Fortunately, it was the people of the Sixteenth Village who took action. If it was Yang Yiyi, I am afraid that the necks of these two people would be broken.

After doing all this, Ran Xiaoyi whispered:

"I met my sister here before, and I don't know what Baofeng Village looks like. I vaguely remember that my sister mentioned that Baofeng Village would hold a ceremony at the altar under the big tree. Let's split into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, and meet under the big tree after searching."

Everyone nodded, and everyone split up in front of the warehouse door, one group went left and one group went right.
