I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 325 - 20: Gu Clan Bestows the Surname, Virtue Matches Heaven and Earth
In this deep mountain path, it seemed as if even time had lost its concept.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Suddenly.
A sound of dense footsteps came from all directions, quickly closing in at a rapid pace.
"Protect the young master!"
Everyone instantly surrounded Gu Han, drawing the weapons in their hands and keeping a vigilant eye on all sides.
Accompanied by a sharp "whoosh" sound suddenly rising.
Arrows broke through the sky one after another.
Everyone hurriedly blocked them.
Luckily, these arrows were a bit weaker compared to the arrows of the Great Han, and did not cause too many casualties.
Gu Han’s expression was firm, without a trace of fear.
He quickly shouted in the languages he had learned: "I am a subject of Great Han!!!"
This was a trait even Gu Yi hadn’t noticed.
Gu Han had some talent with languages, and along the way, he had already learned quite a few.
His voice instantly spread.
In the next moment, the arrows from all directions halted abruptly.
People emerged one after another from the dense forest all around, tightly encircling the Han Army.
"Are you people of Great Han?"
A man who appeared noble stepped out from among them, staring closely at Gu Han in the crowd and asked: "What are you doing here?"
"It’s not the right time for you to step onto our Holy Mountain."
There was still a murderous intent on his face.
It seemed if Gu Han didn’t speak well next, he would immediately order them to shoot.
Unlike other Barbarians entirely.
The cultural barriers between the Shanyue land’s Barbarians and Kyushu would only deepen.
"I represent Great Han, and I wish to meet your king." Gu Han took a deep breath, speaking while stepping out from the crowd.
This is part of the Han etiquette.
"Meet the king?" The man frowned, then sneered: "Our king has already stated that besides certain times, you Han people are never allowed to step onto our Holy Mountain!"
"And now you say you want to meet our king?"
After speaking, he didn’t hesitate at all, immediately waving his hand to have them shoot arrows again.
Murderous intent pervaded!
In the sweltering air, beads of cold sweat continuously fell from Gu Han’s forehead.
Looking at the surrounding crowds and those bows ready with arrows again.
He had a sudden idea, and shouted loudly: "I am a descendant of the Gu Clan, this journey also represents the Gu Clan!"
—A twist of fate.
The moment "Gu Clan" was heard, the man’s expression suddenly changed, just as arrows were about to be released, he suddenly waved his hand. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Gu Clan?"
He softly muttered a few words, then stared straight at Gu Han and asked: "Are you the descendant of Nuohu Great Ghost Master?"
Nuohu Great Ghost Master — one of Gu Chen’s titles.
In the culture of the local people.
Nuohu represents the great War God; Tiger represents the Mountain God; Great Ghost Master is the highest Witch Monarch in their faith.
"That’s right." Gu Han nodded, "I am a descendant of Nuohu Great Ghost Master."
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
For the first time, a hint of surprise flashed across the man’s face, after a moment of silence he finally waved his hand to let the people behind him put down their bows and arrows.
"Let’s go."
He said no more, merely leading his group to continue heading into the mountains.
A look of lingering fear appeared on the faces of the Han Army.
Gu Han was the same.
Even though his resolve was as hard as iron, facing death, he couldn’t be so calm.
He hadn’t reached that level yet.
But he would not hesitate, taking a deep breath and following the people ahead slowly into the depths of the mountains.
This journey was extremely long.
The already oppressive weather further intensified the tension in everyone’s hearts.
No one knew how long they had walked, as some strange buildings gradually appeared in view, the man in front stopped Gu Han again.
He then went inside himself, seemingly to report.
Gu Han stood still and waited.
He didn’t know what he would face next, his heart involuntarily beat faster and faster. ...
