From that day on, every month or two, the old pavilion chief's white-haired boy would go down the mountain, go to the only restaurant at the foot of the mountain to eat him for free, and then bring dozens of kilograms of dry food and meat back to the mountain. Until two years later, the old pavilion chief, who had been waiting for three or four months, did not see the white-haired boy again.

Just when the old pavilion chief thought that the white-haired guy died on Yanshan Mountain, half sighing and half secretly happy, Wu Mian had already appeared in Miaojiang, thousands of miles away. Two months ago, he had integrated all the techniques recorded on the bamboo slips and decided to leave here and look for the next map. Wu Mian felt a little uneasy. After checking the cave again, he found a small porcelain bottle in the last stone cave containing the bamboo slips. It contained four wax balls the size of pigeon eggs. After crushing one, it exposed the black pills inside.

Wu Mian recognized it at a glance. This was the elixir for immortality. But he didn't understand what Xu Fu meant to leave the elixir here. However, since he discovered it, there was no reason not to take it away. Wu Mian looked through the cave again and found nothing valuable, and then left here with a few golden cakes and the elixir for immortality.

The location of the second map is in a local forest. Wu Mian has been wandering here for seven or eight days, but has not found the location marked on the map.

The rain is lush here all year round, and some roads that are not often taken are covered by newly grown shrubs, which is completely inconsistent with the map that Wu Mian remembers. Wu Mian has eaten up the dry food, and the location marked on the map can no longer be found within a day or two. So he can only go back to the towns outside and replenish food before coming.

When Wu Mian thought of this, he felt a little restless and did not notice his feet. After stepping over a bare tree root, he suddenly felt a foreign object under his feet. Then he heard a "click" sound, and a huge beast-sucking clip flipped up from the ground. Wu Mian focused on finding the road on the map, and was completely unprepared. The iron teeth at both ends of the clip bit his calf tightly.

Although Wu Mian is now an immortal body, the pain caused by his injury has not weakened at all. The clamped calf is already covered in blood and blood. Just as he endured the severe pain and was about to open the iron clip, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Wu Mian suddenly had a thought: Could it be that this is a mechanism designed by the bandit to kill people? As the footsteps behind him became closer, Wu Mian simply sat on the ground against the tree trunk, pretending to be injured and was at a loss. He was secretly guarded and wanted to see what the people behind him were doing.

Behind him were three or four strong men with naked upper bodies. The leader was in his forties. When he saw Wu Mian bit his bloody calf by a beast, he frowned. He ran to Wu Mian, held both ends of the iron clip with both hands, and used force to break a gap that could stretch out the calf.

The man first shouted a series of unsightly words at Wu Mian. When he saw that Wu Mian couldn't understand, he changed his awkward official words and said, "You, your legs come out."

Wu Mian shook his head and said weakly: "There is no sense on his legs and he can't move."

The man frowned again and shouted something Wu Mian couldn't understand to the people behind him. Immediately another person ran over and lifted Wu Mian's legs out of the beast-punching clip.

After checking Wu Mian's wound, the man in the lead said to him: "You are seriously injured. You, we will recover from the wounds. Let's go." After that, without waiting for Wu Mian to agree or not, they carried him on their backs. They were used to walking in this forest. After walking east and west for more than half an hour, they vaguely heard a sound of flowing water. The louder the more they walked forward. After passing through a bush, their eyes suddenly became clear, and a waterfall dozens of feet appeared in front of Wu Mian.

Next to the pool below the waterfall, the man in charge simply cleaned Wu Mian's wounds. Wu Mian used a small illusion, and in the eyes of these people, the injuries on his legs did not improve at all. He walked up the pool. After walking for a short while, after passing through a bamboo forest, he arrived in a mountain village.

After seeing these men come back, the men and women in the village came out to say hello to these people, but when they saw the wound on Wu Mian's legs, they all looked surprised.

After placing Wu Mian in a bamboo building, an old man in his sixties was brought here. It seemed that the old man was considered a local doctor. After checking Wu Mian's injuries, the old man said a lot of things Wu Mian couldn't understand to the man who led the lead. The man who led the lead agreed, and then said to Wu Mian with gestures: "The doctor said that there is no big deal, it will be cured in half a month."

When the leading man was speaking, the old doctor pulled out several herbs from the bamboo basket he was carrying. After chewing it in his mouth, it was pasted on the wound on Wu Mian's legs. The herbs were cold and there was no special feeling.

After watching the old doctor leave a few herbs, he left here. The leading man pointed to his chest and said to Wu Mian: "I, Lin Huo, you live here and eat it, I will send it."

Wu Mian looked at the man who was leading the way and said, "Your name is Lin Huo? The clip that hurt me just now was buried by your people?"

Although Lin Huo’s official words were not good, it was definitely not a problem to understand. He gestured and said, “Those who are trapped with wild boars are not trapped with people. People don’t need clips, they will be killed directly…”

Since the entrance marked with the map is not found in the short term, Wu Mian simply stayed here. The village where he lives and several nearby villages are Miao villages where the Miao people live. The Miao people's daily life is very simple. In addition to farming, they organize men in the village to go up the mountain to hunt. The prey they captured belongs to the entire village and is divided into several equal parts by the elders in the village. In addition to respecting the gods, they will be distributed to the entire village according to each household.

The local Miao people were pretty good to Wu Mian. Every time they captured prey and crops in the field would be included. The elders in the village came to ask about Wu Mian's origin. He only said that he was looking for a mine for a large miner. He got here after getting lost when he went up the mountain, but he was injured by the beast-fighting clip set up by Lin Huo and others. Wu Mian was a alchemist since childhood and knew very well about ore herbs, and could not find any mistakes from his words.

During Wu Mian's days of recovery, Lin Huo came to see him almost every day. After a while, the two of them made friends. Because he accidentally injured Wu Mian, Lin Huo felt very guilty towards Wu Mian, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of some official words. So Wu Mian usually speaks a little bit of sarcastic and mean, and Lin Huo didn't care much about it.

Lin Huo's Mandarin was learned from the Han merchants who came and went here, and he used it to bargain. After contacting Wu Mian during this period, his Mandarin level had improved significantly.

Wu Mian calculated his recovery days based on the injury for a hundred days. When he was teaching Lin Huo to speak official language, he also asked about the location of the second map. Unexpectedly, Lin Huo didn't know, so he helped Wu Mian ask the elderly people in the village. Even these old people had never heard of such a place.

Wu Mian had no choice but to stay in Miao Village first. Anyway, he had time, and he had been wandering around for a few years, and he always had the opportunity to find clues.

In a blink of an eye, more than three months passed, and Wu Mian felt that it was almost good to outsiders. Just when he was thinking about how to convince Lin Huo and continued to stay in the village for a few more days, Lin Huo first ran to Wu Mian's bamboo house in a hurry and said to him: "Brother Wu, prepare for it. Tonight is the day for our thirteen Miao villages to welcome the Wu Zu. According to the rules, as long as the people in the Miao village, whether they are the host or the guest, they will go. If you don't do it well, you may be the next generation of Wu Zu!"

Wu Mian knew a little about the matter about the witch ancestor. This is a god believed in by the Miaojiang generation. The witch ancestor is different from the gods of the Central Plains religion. It is a living person who becomes a god and appoints the next generation of heirs during his lifetime. Before the body dies, the soul will be integrated with the designated heirs, thus giving birth to the next generation of witch ancestors. This is different from the body-taking of the Central Plains religion. It is the combination of two souls and spirits, which lead to a new soul, and then the body of the heirs will survive.
