Ye Xiaotian pretended to be angry and sat on the chair. When the sixth elder came out, he jumped up, ran to the door and looked out through the crack of the door, and saw the sixth elder entered the opposite room. Turning around and coming back, he let out a long breath of foul air.
"Hey! I thought it was a huge benefit, but I didn't expect to pay the price of cutting off my children and grandchildren. This ghost venerable is too unreliable. I still think about how to be a scholar is more serious, so as to honor my ancestors."
Ye Xiaotian thought to himself, and suddenly noticed that the carvings of gold and jade in this small living room were extraordinarily luxurious. This is the collection of the Gu God Sect for nearly fifteen centuries, naturally it has countless treasures, but Ye Xiaotian may not recognize many precious things, but he will not mistake gold and silver.
He looked at it carefully, picked up a beautifully shaped gold plate from the wall cabinet, bit it with his teeth, confirmed that it was gold, and wanted to put it in his arms, but the plate was too big and heavy, so he put it in his arms. It was easy to be spotted, Ye Xiaotian reluctantly put it back, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found another golden egg.
This golden egg is made of pure gold, the inside is hollowed out, and it is inlaid with many red and blue gemstones, it looks very expensive, Ye Xiaotian sighed: "It's really rich, even such valuable things are placed in the living room! "He picked it up and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Ye Xiaotian searched around in the living room, picked up a few smaller treasures that were not easy to be found, and suddenly felt unbearably hungry. , this hunger is really unbearable.
Two guards were standing guard outside the door, and one of them was Bao Weng, the commander of the guards of the temple. Stay outside the door.
The door suddenly opened, and a head poked out from inside, which startled Bao Weng, after a closer look, he recognized it was the Venerable, and quickly saluted Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian opened the door, waved his hands to him with a majestic look, coughed, raised his airs and said: "This... um, I want to eat."
Bao Weng stared at him with wide eyes, not understanding what he was talking about, yes! There is no need to pretend to be a noble person, Ye Xiaotian scratched his head, and gestured to Bao Weng, he opened his mouth, made a gesture of holding a bowl with one hand, and made a purring sound from his mouth.
Seeing the appearance of the Venerable, Bao Weng couldn't help but want to laugh, but that would be too disrespectful, so he quickly held back, nodded respectfully to Ye Xiaotian, and replied a few words in Miao language, regardless of whether Ye Xiaotian could listen or not. I understood, so I walked towards the end of the corridor.
In the opposite living room, the six elders were frowning. They didn't have the ability to treat the Venerable as a puppet, nor did they have the courage and courage, but this Venerable accidentally presented them with a huge problem. They couldn't convince the Venerable, and they couldn't force him. , how to solve it
If Ye Xiaotian insists on refusing to be this venerable, then the so-called inheritance of the Gu gods will become a big joke spread all over the Miao area. An independent force from the supreme ruler, their influence will become very limited.
However, agree to Ye Xiaotian's request? That is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years! Oh, what a cocoon! At the beginning, the first venerable claimed that the selection of the successor was based on the will of Gu God. In fact, it was a kind of propaganda of the emperor's power, and it was to establish the prestige of the successor venerable as soon as possible. The six elders couldn't help but feel worried when they thought of the possible serious consequences.
After a long while, Ge Cai said slowly: "I think that the rules of thousands of years may not be able to be changed." The other five looked at the oldest venerable together, and Godewa asked moved : "Grizzly, what do you mean...?"
※※※
Bao Weng quickly brought food to Ye Xiaotian. He tried his best to understand the intention of the Venerable. In order to achieve the effect of "thin miles and snoring", what he sent was a bowl of fragrant noodles with two poached eggs on it.
The six elders were discussing how to solve this problem next door. Ye Xiaotian expected that Ding Baoweng didn't know about it, and he didn't dare to put the porridge of the dead sons and grandchildren into his noodles. Besides, the soup looked clear and didn't look like it had been mixed with anything. , so eat it with confidence.
Ye Xiaotian was eating "sparingly", when suddenly he heard the conversation between two people outside the door, Ye Xiaotian quickly cleaned the noodles, got up and went to open the door, and saw Gedole standing outside talking with Bao Weng was talking.
When Gerdole saw Ye Xiaotian, his face was full of joy. Although Ge Dewa, who had befriended him, did not become a venerable, but Ye Xiaotian was his son's godfather. Wouldn't the relationship be closer? Ge Duolao said to Ye Xiaotian happily: "My lord, I have something to see you, but Baoweng won't allow me to go in."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Ah! So it's Brother Dou, please come in quickly."
Geduolao repeatedly said: "You can't call it that way now, you are the supreme servant of the gods, and A'Dou dare not call you brother and brother." He turned his head and said, "Come in with me."
Ye Xiaotian thought: "Is there anyone else coming?" He took the initiative to step back a few steps, and Gedu walked into the small hall. After a while, more than a dozen fourteen or fifteen-year-old Miao girls followed behind him. , Bao Weng was worried, and followed him in and stood by the door.
These girls seem to have been well-dressed, they are all fragrant, their faces are beautiful, their colorful clothes are bright, and they wear shiny silver ornaments that they only wear when they are married. Ye Xiaotian glanced hastily, and felt that they were all beautiful. He was dazzled for a while, and couldn't tell who was more handsome, but when he glanced at Gedold, he found that Sister Sun was among them, so he was a little surprised.
Sister Sun was standing next to Gedox, and when she saw him, she lowered her head shyly, her expression was charming and indescribably alluring. Ye Xiaotian was puzzled and said: "Brother Ding, this is... what's going on?"
Hearing that he still called himself "Brother Ding", the Gedoldo felt his bones lighten a little, and he quickly laughed and said, "This is the first batch of god concubines selected by each village. Before consecrating the gods and concubines, we can only choose to send them away after a while, and they will serve the venerable's food and drink first, and take care of the venerable's life."
"Ah! They... were all given to me?" Ye Xiaotian almost drooled when he heard that, and suddenly remembered that he was refusing to be a Venerable to the Sixth Elder, so he couldn't help feeling a little bit reluctant.
Geduolao said: "Yes! Please take a look at the venerable. If the venerable is not satisfied with anything, the village where she is located can change candidates."
The girls all looked at Ye Xiaotian helplessly, their expressions were nervous and apprehensive, for fear that they would not be caught by the venerable, if the venerable returned her, it would be a great shame for her, she would be despised by the whole tribe, and it would be extremely difficult for her to marry in the future.
Ye Xiaotian felt a little embarrassed after being stared at by so many beautiful girls. He glanced at all the girls viciously, each of them was more juicy than the other, like a handful of freshly picked chives, how could he be dissatisfied. It's just...to be a venerable, you can't have children, Ye Xiaotian felt blocked in his heart.
Gedole smiled and said: "My lord, are you satisfied with them?"
Ye Xiaotian hesitated a few times, then suddenly remembered something, quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, why didn't I see the concubines of the previous venerable, usually they seem to live on this floor."
A strange look appeared on Gedole's face, thinking that Ye Xiaotian had taken a fancy to which concubine of the former venerable, so he whispered in a slightly embarrassed voice: "My lord, the concubine of the former venerable, are you You can't touch it. Besides, they're gone..."
Ye Xiaotian wondered: "Not here? Have they been sent back to their respective tribes?"
Ge Duol shook his head and said, "Once you serve the gods, how can you return to the mortal world? When the former venerable passed away, they naturally followed him."
Ye Xiaotian felt a chill in his heart, and lost his voice: "You mean...they... are dead?"
Ge Duol smiled slightly and said, "No, they followed the Venerable to heaven."
Ye Xiaotian said angrily: "Who did it?" As he spoke, he looked at Bao Weng who was standing by the door.
Gedole said in surprise: "Why do you need others to do it? Every time a venerable dies, the concubines who serve him will go with him. This is a rule for thousands of years. They are all very happy to follow the venerable into heaven. .”
The young and beautiful girls from the Miao family nodded their heads one after another, apparently taking what Geduo said as a matter of course, Ye Xiaotian was speechless after listening for a while: "Although Gu poison is poisonous, how can it be compared to the idea instilled in people since childhood that suicide can be done happily, The 'poison' among them is really too deep... "
Seeing that Ye Xiaotian was speechless for a while, Gedu couldn't help becoming a little nervous, and hurriedly said: "Is the venerable not satisfied with them?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Ah... this... ah..."
Before he could "ah", suddenly a guard ran over and panted and said a few words to Bao Weng who was standing at the door, Gedold stood beside Ye Xiaotian and heard it clearly, and said in surprise: "A girl with a giant ape? She said her name is Zhan Ning'er? Your lord..."
Ye Xiaotian said happily: "She's really fine, did she bring Brother Yuan out too, hahaha, let's go, let's go and have a look!"
After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he rushed out excitedly, Gedold and Baoweng hurriedly followed, Sister Sun and the quasi-divine concubines sent by the nearby tribes looked at each other in blank dismay, and didn't know whether to catch up or stay here and wait. With His Holiness back.
In the lobby on the first floor, Zhan Ning'er grabbed An Nantian's hand and asked in a loud voice: "Are you serious? Is he still alive? He...became a venerable?"
An Nantian said repeatedly: "Of course it's true. You'll know when he comes down." As he spoke, he tightened his hands, pulled her aside, and said in a low voice, "I don't know the details, anyway, he got it somehow. Inherited the inheritance of the venerable, ascended the altar to accept the worship of all people and became a venerable. Don't talk too much, be careful of any mistakes."
On the other side, the gigantic ape, which is twice as tall as a normal person, has become a monster that everyone is watching. Since it was brought by Zhan Ning'er, these people took it for granted that it would not hurt anyone, and surrounded it one by one. Watch in amazement and comment on it.
The giant ape has never seen so many people. It is a pity that although these humans are most similar to it in appearance, they are just too short. Standing among them, the giant ape has a feeling of standing out from the crowd.
Surrounded by so many people, it gesticulated and yelled loudly. It was very impatient, and when it got angry, it immediately punched its chest and let out a deafening roar, which made the onlookers back away quickly. One of them was leaning on a walking stick. The elder of a certain tribe had bad hands and feet, and fell to the ground.
At the moment when it was in a mess, the giant ape was startled suddenly, raised its head and sniffed vigorously, then let out a long roar, its huge body did a backflip extremely neatly, and then its strong legs vigorously With a kick, he jumped up to the second floor, and then rushed to the third floor.
