Chapter 247: The High Priest's Wooden Building
Zhou Tian didn't know that he had drunk a total of eighteen barricade wines, and after drinking, the reeds around him blew more cheerfully, and the cheers of men, women, and children were as high as a burst.
"Haha!" Yang Wenkun laughed heartily, and Zhou Tian turned to face all the clansmen who came to welcome him, "See, these people are all looking forward to the arrival of the high priest!"
Zhou Tian was also a little excited in his heart, especially when he saw that the clansmen next to him had already opened the field and danced in a circle, and he was even more excited.
"Let's go sit on it!" Yang Wenkun pulled Zhou Tian and walked to a place that looked like a stage on one side, where tables, chairs and benches had already been prepared.
Liu Shun and all of them were also led over.
Zhou Tian and Yang Wenkun sat in the middle of the front, watching the people in the village start to celebrate.
Dancing on both sides, blowing reeds, and there were people next to them who erected a high mountain of knives, and some people climbed up barefoot, and the sounds of exclamation and cheering kept coming.
On the other side, someone brought three cows with big red flowers on their heads, came to Zhou Tian, patted the cow, and Yang Wenkun turned to Zhou Tian, "This is a cow ready for sacrifice!"
He also knew about sacrificing and killing livestock, so he nodded, and when the person who led the cow saw it, his face suddenly showed joy, and he quickly pulled the ox around and walked around, and the proud look on his face was not hidden at all, and it was not disgusting, but won countless praises and envy.
"There's even more to come!" Yang Wenkun said.
Zhou Tian followed his gaze and saw a few sturdy young men carrying a lot of iron buckets, and then in the center of the field, they poured out the contents of the iron buckets, and they were all red charcoal.
Someone next to him took a shovel and flattened the red-hot charcoal into a rectangle, and placed a wooden bench at one end.
The music and singing began, and one of the young men took off his shoes, waved back and forth twice, and stood on the wooden bench.
"Is this going to walk barefoot?" Tao Xiaoshu in the back asked in surprise.
Yang Wenkun nodded with a smile and continued with Zhou Tian: "This is also the test that men want to get the most, the tradition of our Miao Village, use this to prove that he is the bravest and most powerful Miao man in Miao Village!"
Zhou Tian looked at it with novelty, and saw that the young man inhaled slightly, stepped on the charcoal fire with both feet, and the music and drums next to him were more intense, he walked forward quickly, and before he was finished, he went back again, and then walked back quickly through the charcoal fire and arrived at the open space opposite.
Cheers rang out, and some of the young man's friends came up to him to hug and celebrate, and a group of little girls graciously approached him.
"This is also the best way to win the girl's affection!" Yang Wenkun said with a smile.
All of this is even more shocking than the introduction of the scenery and customs of Miao Village that I have seen on TV before.
It feels like the whole Miao village is surrounded by a warm atmosphere, they sing loudly, dance happily, and celebrate the most important thing for the Miao people.
This kind of welcome celebration will continue until late at night, and Yang Wenkun will not really let Zhou Tian and his party stay until late at night.
After the most solemn projects are over, I will take them to the depths of Miao Village.
This Miao village is different from what they have seen on Sunday before.
Every household is no longer a stilted bamboo building in other places, but a more luxurious and complex wooden building, with a unique style.
The whole Miao village is built on the mountain, from top to bottom are newly decorated, not to mention the blooming flowers, even the wooden building will hang a lot of decorations.
Halfway up the mountainside, it is also the top of the whole Miao Village, there is a big wooden building, it is different from what I saw before, the eaves verandah, there are five or six stories high along the mountain, there is a vacant lot in front, there are two wooden buildings on both sides, and there is a way out between the three bamboo buildings.
"You guys live here!" Yang Wenkun said, "Rest first, and then there will be a long table banquet, and the elders will come and invite!"
"Uncle Yang, isn't it too polite, I feel a little ...... in my heart" Zhou Tian felt that he was a junior, and he was always a little unaccustomed to being valued by so many older people.
"Zhou Tian, don't refuse! This is the most important thing in our Miao Village, and you are about to become our most honorable high priest here, only in this way will our people be happier!" Yang Wenkun said, the more he looked at Zhou Tian, the more satisfied he became, although he was the one who would even salute him when he saw him in the future, but he was not arrogant or impatient, knew how to be measured, and was educated, which was Miao Jiang's luck!
"Okay!" Zhou Tian had to nod in agreement.
The wooden building in the middle is magnificent and extraordinary, this time it is not just Zhou Tian alone, Liu Shun and Liao Jiang will all live here, Zhou Tian was led to the highest place by Yang Wenkun, and the bodyguards they came with lived on the two floors below.
Black Eagle and Ghost Eye followed, and lived on the floor below Zhou Tian with Liu Shun and Liao Jiang, and they had to obey Zhou Tian and Liu Shun's orders at all times, and then go out to make arrangements.
The elders and Yang Wenkun also lived on the first floor with Liu Shun, which was convenient for hospitality, and they usually had their own homes to live in, and this wooden building, from the time it was built, was a place for the high priest.
It turned out that the priests in the Miao Village, together with the disciples, were a total of six people, and they were not even qualified to come in here at ordinary times, but today by the light of Zhou Tian, they also lived in the wooden building of the high priest.
Now the high priest has not succeeded to the throne, and has not been approved by the high priest, so they can only live on the lower floors now.
Zhou Tian looked at the luxurious room, and sighed a little, how could he let these Miao people be treated like this?
I heard that the high priest succeeded to the throne and the gods approved a procedure to go, if in the end Zhou Tian is not the high priest, I really don't know how to end.
Liu Tong also followed Liu Shun, and was lying under the eaves of the porch outside the room to enjoy the delicacy outside.
"Master!" Since Liu Tong entered the Liu family, he called Grandpa Liu Hanlin and Grandpa Liu Shun, because Liu Shun was not married, Liu Tong could only hang on Liu Hanlin's branch and enter the family tree, but the family thought that he was a member of Liu Shun's branch, "I saw that several families were a little different from others." ”
"What's different?" Liu Shun finished taking a sip of tea, then got up and walked to Liu Tong's side and looked out.
"You see that other people's houses are all decorated with lights, and those houses are clean in front of and behind them!" Liu Tong said, pointing to a few wooden houses on the side of the mountain on the right.
"You're observing carefully!" Liu Shun smiled, "Have you ever heard of Gu Master?"
"I've heard of it, could it be that those few have Gu masters?" Liu Tong looked over curiously.
"Miao Jiang Witch Gu is very secretive, usually no different from ordinary people, but their families have raised Gu for generations! Because the conditions for raising Gu are harsh, the home must be extremely clean, not dirty and messy, otherwise the quality of the Gu worms raised will not be high, or they will not be able to raise them at all!" Liu Shun patiently explained to Liu Tong.
"Oh, I see!"
"Moreover, there is a special sign at the door of those people's homes, only the locals can see it, and they will not come to the door easily, and if you see such a person here, don't enter the door easily!"
"Why? When they enter the door, they are not good for people?"
"That's not true! There are also two kinds of Gu cultivators, one is called Gu people, and the other is called witch Gu. Gu people may raise Gu to cure diseases and save people, and witchcraft is a combination of witchcraft and Gu magic, which can cure diseases and save people as well as harm people! Most of them are women, and they can't get rid of the name of being lonely and poor all their lives, although these people will not let go of Gu easily, but they have a strong sense of revenge, especially witch Gu, and they must not be offended. ”
"I see!" Liu Tong nodded and replied.
He is also different from ordinary people, of course he will be interested in these mysterious things, and Liu Shun also took this opportunity to tell him a lot.
When Liu Shun and Tao San came to the Yang family, a Gu girl fell in love with Liu Shun and wanted to keep him, so she prepared a Gu specially for men.
This kind of Gu, as long as a man eats it, he will fall in love with the woman with the mother Gu and die to the ground!
This kind of Gu is called a love Gu!
A person who has fallen into a love Gu can't have two hearts for the woman who has fallen under the Gu, otherwise he will die of a rotten stomach!
Fortunately, Yang Wenkun came in time and interrupted Liu Shun, who was going to the banquet, and told the Gu girl that Liu Shun was not the one she could keep, even if he ate her Gu, the final result must be the result of the Gu girl not being able to go to the Gu and being eaten by the Gu worms and dying.
In this way, Liu Shun, who had a false alarm, thoroughly understood the matter of Miao Jiang's Gu poison from Yang Wenkun, and also understood all kinds of taboos thoroughly.
This time, I just had a good talk with Liu Tong, otherwise if I accidentally ate the love Gu of a Gu girl, the gains outweighed the losses.
What Liu Tong didn't tell Liu Shun was that there was a Huang Xian'er living in his body, and when he passed by the doors of those houses before, Huang Xian'er was a little uneasy, and frequently warned Liu Tong, which made Liu Tong notice the difference between those families.
Zhou Tian ushered in Bai Guoer's three daughters after Yang Wenkun's farewell.
"Zhou Tian, it's really a different treatment when you come here!" Liao Yifei looked at Zhou Tian's room and said a little sourly.
Zhou Tian glanced at the place where Liao Yifei looked, it was a Bogu shelf, with a lot of jade wood carvings on it, and the workmanship was exquisite.
He smiled, "The treatment is not the same, am I still Zhou Tian?"
"It's really different!" Song Xiaolei also sighed, but her eyes were looking at the embroidery hanging on the wall, which was embroidered with a picture of the gods, and Zhou Tian had already noticed it when she first came in before.
That embroidered tapestry is some years old.
"Zhou Tian, do you want to live here all the time?" Bai Guo'er and the two of them cared about differently, Zhou Tian thought to himself, sure enough, Bai Guo'er cared more about himself, but unexpectedly, Bai Guo'er's next sentence made Zhou Tian suddenly appear a bunch of black lines, "Is Yang Ling coming to accompany you at night, don't you need us?"
"How could it be!" Zhou Tian hurriedly coaxed people, "It's just that they think my identity is different, and everything else is not the same, don't think about it!"
"Why are you thinking nonsense?" Liao Yifei looked at Zhou Tian with a smile, hugged Bai Guo'er over, hooked Bai Guo'er's chin with her fingers, and said slightly frivolously: "Guo'er's smiling face that captivates the country and the city is just one identity, otherwise, how could it be the turn of that saint?"
Sunday: "......"
"Sister Liao!" Bai Guo'er was a little embarrassed by what Liao Yifei said, she glanced at Zhou Tian, "What about after that?"
Zhou Tian understood what they were worried about, sighed, pressed the three of them to the rattan chair and sat down, and said with a straight face to them: "You can rest assured, no matter who they think I am, whether it is a high priest or an ordinary person, it is enough for me to only have the three of you in my life! I promise, even if I become their high priest, I will not have any other women! I will not let her enter my room casually!"
"Sunday, can I come in?" Yang Ling's voice came from the door.
Zhou Tian: "......" I didn't say anything just now!
The three women looked at Zhou Tian together, and finally Liao Yifei stood up, walked over and opened the door, "Sister Yang Ling, come in!"
"Sister Liao is also here! you are all here!" Yang Ling walked in with a smile, her body had changed into more colorful clothes, and the silver jewelry on her head made her look particularly lively and smart.
Zhou Tian stood up and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Is there something wrong with me?"
"Yes, my Abba asked me to come, and the elders will come and invite you to the long table banquet later, and I will attend with you!" Yang Ling blinked his eyes and said with a smile.
Zhou Tian looked back at the three girls, they turned their heads tacitly, Liao Yifei's eyes rolled, and she smiled, "I'm a little hungry, then let's go back and change our clothes first!"
After speaking, he pulled Bai Guoer and Song Xiaolei and went out, not even leaving room for Zhou Tian to stay.
"That ......" Zhou Tian felt even more embarrassed, and the words he just said seemed to be shoehorned back because of Yang Ling's appearance.
