Ye Xiaotian suddenly remembered that he had seen a church built by Western missionaries when he was in the capital. Although the scale and grandeur of the church were far less than that of this temple, and it could only be said to be shabby, the church was still in some parts of the building. However, its style and style are clearly the same as this temple.
And at this moment, if this elder Shengmiao, who was wearing a black robe, replaced the Gu God pendant on his chest with a cross, wouldn't he be a living Western missionary
Suspicion suddenly rose in Ye Xiaotian's heart, isn't this too similar? Is it just a coincidence? Did the two religious saints of the East and the West come up with the same idea of architecture and clothing thousands of years ago, or is there any connection between the two
It would be absurd to say that there is a strange connection between the strange temple deep in the mountain and those Western missionaries. Could it be that ghost missionaries came to the east to preach more than a thousand years ago? And plunged headlong into such a remote place
In other words, a certain shaman of the Eastern Sanmiao was lonely and invincible for a while, and on a whim, he ran across the ocean to the west to recruit a group of foreign devils. After many years, his Western disciples ran back to Eastern missionaries are coming
When Ye Xiaotian was thinking about it, the elder whom Zhan Ning'er called Gegewo had already walked in proudly, with a pair of vigilant eyes fixed on Ye Xiaotian.
This Elder Gegewo is tall and thin, with a tendency of bean sprouts. He has a long face, a high bridge of nose, slightly sunken eye sockets, and his thick long hair tied with a silver hoop. His eyes staring at Ye Xiaotian are as sharp as eagles.
His name is Ge Wo, and he is one of the eight elders served by Gu God. The reason why he is called Ge Gewo is because this grid character is an honorific title in Miao language, which is specially added before the names of tribal leaders or distinguished elders. The names of the other seven elders, including the leader of the Shengmiao tribe, also have a grid in front of their names.
Ge Gewo sneered for a while, and said: "Miss Zhan, the succession of God Servant is coming soon. This is a major event in Miaojiang. You came here on behalf of your father and brought your cousin here. That's all. Brother is not from our Miao people, after all, the origin is deep, but other people should not be brought here. I doubt that you have come out of the mountain again and again, and now you have brought outsiders in, what is your plan."
Because Zhan Ning'er spoke Chinese, the elder Ge Gewo also changed to speak Chinese. Although he is the elder of the Shengmiao tribe, although Shengmiao rarely interacts with outsiders, the elders and leaders of them are not. In this way, they always have to go out and walk around from time to time. Of course, Chinese is a language they must learn.
Zhan Ning'er said angrily: "Conspiracy? What scheme can I have?"
Gegewo sneered and said, "Naturally, it is plotting to pass on the inheritance of God Servant."
Zhan Ning'er said furiously: "The inheritance of the God Servant is the will of Gu God and his old man from the sky. It is designated by the God Servant. I have always been in awe of the Gu God, so how could I covet the position of God Servant?"
Gegewo sneered and said: "It's hard to say, people's hearts are so close! This person is not allowed to leave here until we complete the inheritance of serving the gods. I have issued an order that no one is allowed to enter or leave the territory during this period. You can do it yourself. "
An Nantian said angrily, "Why do you dare to restrict my freedom?"
Ge Gewo sneered: "Just because this is my territory, because I am the most respected among the eight elders. Oh hehehe..."
Ge Gewo left with a sneer, Mao Wenzhi scratched his head, and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Brother, this little bastard's smile is so ugly, I want to cut him when I see it."
An Nantian glanced at Mao Wenzhi happily, and said, "The hero sees the same thing. This brother has a good vision. May I ask your name?"
The two didn't answer each other, but Zhan Ning'er held back her anger, and said to Ye Xiaotian, "I'm really sorry, you have to stay here for now, and we'll talk about it after we complete the inheritance of God Servant."
Ye Xiaotian asked puzzledly: "What is the legacy of God Attendant?"
Zhan Ning'er said: "The Venerable God Servant is the servant who serves the Gu God, the spokesperson of the Gu God in the human world, and the most respected elder of our Miao people. Every generation of the Venerable God Servant will have a feeling before dying. , he will make preparations in advance and designate his successor when he returns to Gu God's embrace, and become a new generation of God Servant Venerable."
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Like the emperor establishing a crown prince?"
Zhan Ning'er said, "Almost."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Shouldn't he have appointed an heir in advance?"
Zhan Ning'er said: "Of course not, only when the Servant God is about to be called back to heaven by the Gu God, will he get instructions from the Gu God to know who will be the next Servant God. Generally speaking, the Servant God The Venerable will choose from among the eight elders, but sometimes the Gu God will also issue an oracle to choose another one.
There used to be a successor of the Venerable God Attendant, even a servant in charge of chopping wood in the temple. He was chopping wood in the backyard at that time, so he was selected as the Venerable God Attendant. Under one god, above tens of thousands of gods serve the venerable. "
Zhan Ning'er pointed to the temple on the cliff opposite the lake, and said, "Did you see it? When the bell rang continuously in the temple, and a billowing smoke was ignited on the top of the temple, it was the previous God Servant Venerable." After returning to heaven, the living seedlings living all over the world will rush here one after another to meet the new venerable godservant. The new venerable godservant will put on a robe, hold a golden scepter, and stand on a high temple to accept Everyone's worship, once the God Servant inheritance is established, it can no longer be changed."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Then... when will this Servant of the Gods die?"
Zhan Ning'er had a strange look on her face, and said, "Are you really looking forward to the death of our venerable God Servant?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "That's not true, but if he doesn't die, wouldn't I be able to leave here? If I don't leave, how can I find Le Yao?"
Zhan Ning'er rubbed her nose and said hesitantly: "It's hard to say, there was once a venerable god servant who sensed that he was about to return to the kingdom of heaven, so all the ministries sent people to prepare to send the god servant to heaven and welcome the new venerable to take the throne, but Everyone waited for three full years before the servant really returned to heaven."
Ye Xiaotian was shocked, and said: "Three years? Three years, the cucumber dishes are cold!"
Zhan Ning'er said in embarrassment: "This matter... Gegewo has become suspicious, so I can't let you go. After all, he has a noble status, and offending him for no reason will be very disadvantageous to my father. You must know that although the Gu Temple The elders here can only restrain these seedlings and cannot command our tribe, but they have great influence on our tribe.
Besides, since he gave the order, those young seedlings will definitely obey him and will not let you go as I want. That little girl, let me ask the nearby Shengmiao tribe to help you find it. They have a lot of people, and it is much easier than you being blind and blind alone. "
At this time, An Nantian interrupted and said: "Elder Gegewo is the most likely successor of the venerable Godservant. He is very nervous about this matter, for fear that there will be some external reasons affecting his succession. If you forcefully leave him, you must not allow it." .”
Ye Xiaotian was angry and impatient, but when he got to his territory, he had nothing to do, Ye Xiaotian could only angrily say: "That means, I was put under house arrest by that idiot who only knows 'ohhhh'?"
Zhan Ning'er said: "He dares! You are my guest, he may not let you go, but in this Shengmiao tribe, you will definitely receive the best preferential treatment, and no one will make things difficult for you."
※※※
Ye Xiaotian angrily walked down the road, Mao Wenzhi chased him from a distance, but he yelled: "Brother, brother, wait for me!"
Hua Yunfei didn't say a word, but followed Ye Xiaotian from a distance, he knew that Ye Xiaotian was in a fit of anger, and he was not a person who could speak well, so he couldn't speak comforting words, so he could only follow from a distance. His bow and knife were confiscated, and he was also unarmed at the moment.
Ye Xiaotian walked in the village angrily, the seedlings had probably been ordered by Zhan Ning'er, but no one came to stop him. There are many women, old people, and children in the village. Don't look at the young seedlings who are hunting outside, dressed like savages, but the people in this village are dressed much more normally. Especially those young girls from the Miao family, with bright clothes and pretty faces, they really are birds raised in deep mountains, and beauties come out of firewood houses. It's just that Ye Xiaotian is getting angry now, so naturally he doesn't have the heart to appreciate the pretty looks of those little sisters from the Miao family.
A small stream appeared in front of it, and several thick logs were set up on the stream, and they were tied up in a row to serve as a bridge. Ye Xiaotian rushed up to the head of the bridge angrily, and heard a "bang" sound of a gong on the other side of the small bridge, and came from behind the bushes. Seven or eight Miao people jumped out, including men and women, old and young.
Ye Xiaotian was taken aback, could this posture be a robbery? He hastily assumed a fighting posture, but when he saw that there were many people in his family, especially a big man in front of him, he was tall and muscular, and his muscles seemed to be cast iron. He immediately changed into a posture of being beaten, protecting his body. The key.
Seeing that big Hmong man leaping towards Ye Xiaotian, chattering joyfully, Ye Xiaotian didn't look like he was about to hit someone, nor did he seem to be saying "I opened this road, this tree It was me who fell." Then he lowered the arm that was protecting his head and asked blankly, "What did you say?"
The big Miao man was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, and said: "So this distinguished guest can't speak our language, it doesn't matter, I can speak your language. My name is Geduo, and I am the leader of this tribe. You are a destined person in my family, and I want to ask you to be my son's godfather."
Ye Xiaotian was dazed by his nonsensical words: "What's the situation? Why did you jump out of a group of people out of nowhere and want to drag me to be his son's godfather? Am I born to be a godfather? What? No one will pull me to be a father-in-law?"
