Chapter 90

Baishan is the general name for the mountains and their many branches that run through Liaodong Province, the eastern part of Beihu, the northern part of Chaoguo, and the far eastern part of Luosha Kingdom. It is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, and has unique and strange ice and snow scenery in the north. It has always been called a sacred mountain by the people of Liaodong and Chaoguo.

　　In the Baishan Mountains in Songzhou, there are dozens of tribes of all sizes living scattered around. In order to survive in the harsh environment of Liaodong, these tribes live together in groups of three or two. The largest tribe lives in the Yasak Valley, where the Sachin, Keni and Babo tribes live together. The total number of these three tribes occupies the entire Songzhou area. More than 30% of the Baishan tribal residents rarely communicate with the Jin people in Songzhou Prefecture, and only leave the mountains and go to the city to sell furs and medicinal materials.

　　Liege is a veteran hunter of the Sachin tribe. As winter passed and spring came, all things came back to life. A month ago, his son was born into this world. He was so happy that he ran three laps around the tribe. Seeing that spring was coming, he thought about going up the mountain to hunt some prey and going to Songzhou City to exchange for some fine grains to nourish his wife and children.

　　However, it is not known whether God is blessing him or playing a trick on him. Not long after he went up the mountain, he met a blind bear that had just finished hibernation. With his usual level, as long as he put in some effort, he would definitely hunt this big stupid bear. But unfortunately, just where he was hiding, a snake happened to crawl out of a hole. It was startled by Brother Lie and pounced on him fiercely. Brother Lie raised his knife and cut off its head. This alarmed the blind bear, which had just finished hibernation and was hungry. When it saw someone, it suddenly attacked Brother Lie.

　　The hungry blind bear was particularly ferocious. Brother Lie was not paying attention and was torn into a deep gash on his right arm by its claw. Blood gushed out immediately. Seeing that the situation was not right, Brother Lie retreated hastily, but the blind bear would not let go of the meat in its mouth. It kept chasing the prey in front of it and ran dozens of feet away.

　　The blood from the wound was flowing more and more, and Brother Lie's pace unconsciously slowed down. Seeing that the blind bear was about to catch up with him, Brother Lie fell into despair and was about to be killed by the bear's paw. The faces of his beloved wife and son flashed before his eyes. Suddenly, there was a "chi" sound breaking through the air, as if something hit the blind bear that was chasing him, making the blind bear cover its face and howl madly.

　　Then there was another silver light, and with a "chi" sound, "Ah!!!!" the blind bear yelled, scaring away all the birds around the jungle. Then it stopped abruptly, and fell to the ground with a "bang", leaving only the exhaled breath.

　　Brother Lie looked closely and saw a small knife with a cold light stuck in the bear's head, seven points into the flesh, leaving only a tiny bit of the blade exposed. What kind of power is this! Brother Lie thought to himself, he looked around, and saw a handsome young man standing a few feet away, looking at him and greeting him: "Are you okay?" Brother Lie wanted to say something, but a dizziness came over him, his eyes went black, and he fainted.

　　When Brother Lie woke up, the moon was already dim. He found himself lying under a big tree with a bonfire next to him. A piece of bear meat was roasting on the fire. The places where he was scratched by the bear's claws had been bandaged. A young man was sitting next to the bonfire with his eyes closed, resting.

　　When Brother Lie saw that the boy looked like a Central Plains person, he asked in the Central Plains dialect with a heavy accent: "Yes, was it you who saved me?" The boy nodded, looked at the hunter in front of him and said: "Luckily I happened to pass by, otherwise you would have become a meal for the blind bear, hahahaha." Brother Lie was a little embarrassed, but what surprised him even more was that this not-so-strong boy could easily kill the hungry big bear. It was too incredible.

　　This young man was undoubtedly Pang Jun. As the governor of a state, Pang Jun appeared in the territory of Baishan, which was indeed incredible. As for Fei Qingyu, who came to Pang Jun's door last night, she was probably still making a lot of noise in Pang Jun's room. She could still be used, so Pang Jun pressed her acupoints last night and put her under house arrest in his room. He asked Lin Rui to guard her, while he ran to the depths of Baishan.

　　Pang Jun said to Brother Lie: "Brother, you fainted because you lost too much blood. I have bandaged you. You will recover if you eat some more meat."

　　Brother Lie was not polite either. He picked up a piece of roasted bear meat, took a bite, and said, "Brother, you are really amazing. You killed the blind bear in just two moves. Even the best hunter in Baishan may not be able to do it."

　　Pang Jun shook his head and said, "It was just a coincidence. The blind bear's attention was on you, so I was able to successfully launch a sneak attack. Besides, I can't just stand by and watch you die."

　　Lie Ge said, "Brother, my name is Lie Ge, and I'm from here. No matter what, you saved me, so I should repay you. You are from the Central Plains, and most people from the Central Plains will not appear in this place. Is there anything you want to look for? I'll help you?" Lie Ge thought that Pang Jun came to Baishan to look for medicinal herbs, because most people from the Central Plains come here for the medicinal herbs or furs. Seeing that Pang Jun's skills were so amazing, he should not be a fur merchant, so the only thing left was to look for medicinal herbs.

　　Pang Jun asked Brother Lie, "Brother Lie, I want to ask you, where is Mojiang Village in Baishan?"

　　Brother Lie's eyes narrowed and he asked, "What are you looking for in Mojiang Village?"

　　Pang Jun said, "I have something to discuss. I need to meet the three clan leaders of Mojiang Village. I think Brother Lie is from Baishan. Do you know where Mojiang Village is?"

　　"Alas," Lie Ge sighed and said, "Brother, to be honest, I am from Mojiang Village. Mojiang Village has not allowed people from the Central Plains to enter for a long time, even businessmen, because you people from the Central Plains are too cunning and often bully our people. Therefore, our tribe leader almost never allows people from the Central Plains to enter. However, you saved me, I owe you, so I will help you to intercede with the tribe leader, but I don't know whether they are willing to see you."

　　Pang Jun said happily: "Thank you, Brother Lie."

　　Brother Lie waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. You saved my life, but this is all I can do for you."

　　"No, no, no, this is enough. By the way," Pang Jun asked curiously, "Brother Lie, you speak the Central Plains dialect quite well. There should be very few people from Baishan who speak the Central Plains dialect as well as you."

　　"Haha," Brother Lie laughed, "Although Mojiang Village doesn't allow people from the Central Plains to enter, it does not prohibit hunters in the village from taking medicinal herbs and furs to Songzhou to sell. In order to sell things, you have to learn a few words. Moreover, if there is something you don't understand, you can ask Madam Bai. Although she is not from the Central Plains, she speaks the Central Plains dialect better than us."

　　"Mrs. Bai?" Pang Jun was a little confused.

　　"Well, Madam Bai, if you could get into the village, you would know. It's useless to tell you now."

　　"That's right. It's getting late. Let's eat something and rest. Brother Lie, your injury is not healed yet. You need more rest." Brother Lie nodded and grabbed another piece of bear meat to chew on. After the two of them had eaten, they rested separately and didn't say a word all night.

　　The next morning, after they woke up, they packed up the remaining bear meat and set off for Mojiang Village. Along the way, Brother Lie still had some doubts about the authenticity of Pang Jun's flying knife deeply inserted into the blind bear's head yesterday, but

　　The next day, when he carefully looked at the bear's skull and the display of Pang Jun's flying knife piercing the tree for more than three inches,

　　After that, there were no more doubts.

　　The two of them traveled all the way for three hours before Brother Lie finally brought Pang Jun to the gate of a large village. He said to Pang Jun, "Brother Liu Jun, I'm sorry to ask you to wait here. I'll go in and talk to the clan leader. No matter what decision the clan leader makes, I'll come back and tell you."

　　"Okay, Brother Lie, thank you for your help." Pang Jun nodded.

　　So, Lie Ge picked up his things and went into the village. Pang Jun was waiting not far away. The guard at the gate recognized Lie Ge and saw that Pang Jun came back with Lie Ge. He didn't say much, but just looked at the young man who was standing there waiting patiently with some curiosity.

　　About half an hour later, the door of the big village opened again, and Brother Lie walked out with an embarrassed look on his face, and said to Pang Jun: "Brother Liu Jun, I'm really sorry, the clan leader said that he can see you, but you need to complete the trial."

　　"Trial?"

　　"Yes, the tribe leader said that the Baishan people admire the strong. If you insist on meeting them, you must defeat the best warriors from each of the three tribes in Mojiang Village before you can enter the village."

　　After saying that, he pointed at the three burly men following behind him.

　　Pang Jun chuckled, pointed at the three burly men and said, "Okay, but I'm a little hungry, and I want to go into the village to eat early. You guys come together." After saying that, he hooked his finger and made a provocative gesture.

　　Even though the big men from the three tribes didn't understand the Central Plains dialect, they could see Pang Jun's expression and gestures. They became furious and attacked Pang Jun with their fists raised!

　　These people are usually skilled in archery, horse riding and hunting, and are full of primitive wild power, but they only fight on instinct. There is still a huge gap between them and people like Pang Jun who have learned martial arts systematically since childhood and have been on the brink of life and death many times. Although their strength is huge and their speed is also good, in Pang Jun's eyes, the three of them combined are not as threatening as Qin Yi. In the blink of an eye, Pang Jun displayed his light skills and moved left and right among the three people like a civet cat. He kicked one person on the back and elbowed another person in the chest. With two "bang" sounds, the two men stepped back a few steps and sat on the ground.

　　Then he met the fist of the last man, and using his internal strength, he also punched forward. With a "bang" sound, the big man let out a scream of "Ah", and the big man's fist became bruised at a speed visible to the naked eye. The piercing pain spread from his fist to his entire body, and he became paralyzed as if he had lost consciousness.

　　Pang Jun looked at the three of them, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for letting me." The whole process took only a few breaths, leaving Brother Lie completely stunned.

　　The three men saw that they were defeated by a young man in just three moves, and their self-esteem suffered serious consequences. In desperation, they wanted to take out their weapons to attack Pang Jun again. At this moment, a loud voice rang out: "%#￥", which made the three men stop their actions instantly and look towards the big village.

　　At this time, another group of people walked out of the main gate of the village, led by three old men. Pang Jun roughly guessed that they should be the three clan leaders of Mojiang Village. They should have been hiding somewhere and watching just now. When they saw that he defeated the three men in an instant, they came out to clean up the mess.

　　When they approached, one of them bowed to Pang Jun and said in a clearer Central Plains dialect: "Dear guest, you not only saved my nephew, but also have great strength. I am Ikegu, the chief of the Saqin tribe in Mojiang Village. Welcome to Mojiang Village. This is Yehe, the chief of the Keni tribe, and this is Wanghan, the chief of the Babo tribe."

　　Pang Jun nodded and bowed to the three people, saying, "Liu Jun of Songzhou, I meet the three clan leaders." Yike Gu invited Pang Jun, saying, "Since Mr. Liu wants to talk to the three people from Mojiang Village, why don't you go into the village and take a rest first, and then we can talk slowly, okay?"

　　"Thank you for the hospitality of the three clan leaders. Liu Jun would be honored to refuse." After saying that, Pang Jun followed the group into Mojiang Village. He thought in his heart: At least I got in. It was worth my hard work to lead the blind bear to Brother Lie's vicinity...
