Chapter 721: Miao Zu Ballad
In many cases, although life is above all else, and the rights of the individual cannot be violated in any way, the real world is that if there is a greater good, then the interests of a small number of people can be sacrificed.
Shengmiao Eighteen Villages is a terrifying force, if such a force can be controlled, it is definitely more important for Department A than the safety of a few people.
Those who achieve great things are not informal, and this sentence has been true for those in high positions throughout the ages.
In Lao K's heart, if the owner of the eighteen villages is willing, they can find a large number of suitable candidates for the owner of the village to be sent to the Heavenly Burial Mountain, even if nine out of ten die in the Heavenly Burial Mountain, but as long as one of them becomes the owner of the village, it will be considered a success.
As for the nine who died, Lao K will naturally arrange for someone to secretly provide some compensation to the relatives of these nine, which is the real reality.
Fang Ming didn't think about Lao K's thoughts, Ling Wei's matter was sent to the Heavenly Burial Mountain because of his own reasons, so no matter how dangerous the Heavenly Burial Mountain was, he had to go in and bring Ling Wei out, even if he knew that it was the conspiracy of the Duobao Ghost Master.
"Director K, I want to ask where is this Heavenly Burial Mountain?"
Hearing Fang Ming's inquiry, Lao K had a wry smile on his face, he knew that Fang Ming would not give up so easily, with their department's research on Fang Ming, he knew that Fang Ming's character was like this, otherwise he would not have a grudge with the Mu family in the first place.
"Heavenly Burial Mountain is the holy place in the heart of the Eighteen Villages, and the location is in the deepest part of the 100,000 Mountains in southern Xinjiang. ”
Lao K shook his head, the Heavenly Burial Mountain is not only a holy place but also an extremely mysterious place in the hearts of the Miao people in the Eighteen Villages, even if it is the people in the Miao Village, except for the ghost master and the owner of the village, no other Miao people have been there.
Fang Ming understood, if he wanted to know the location of the Heavenly Burial Mountain, he had to know it from the mouth of the Duobao Dao, and this conspiracy was aimed at him, so many Treasure Dao people would definitely tell him the location of the Heavenly Burial Mountain.
Without continuing to communicate with Lao K, Fang Ming withdrew from the circle of medicine powder and walked back to the temple, and the Duobao Ghost Master was obviously not surprised by Fang Ming's return, and a pair of old eyes looked at him with a smug look.
"Where is the Heavenly Burial Mountain?"
"Heavenly Burial Mountain is my sacred land for seedlings, how can I tell you?" replied with a sneer.
"Open the skylight and say something bright, your target is me, don't you just want to lead me to the Heavenly Burial Mountain?"
Fang Ming's words made Ling Chuchu and the others on the side look puzzled, and they didn't understand how this matter had anything to do with Fang Ming?
"Hehe......"
Duobao Ghost Master didn't smile, and his old eyes showed a terrifying light, "Since you want to find death, then I will fulfill you, and outsiders can only meet one condition to go to Heavenly Burial Mountain, and get the permission of the gods." ”
Miao Village has its own beliefs, they believe that all things are animist, so they believe in 36 gods and 72 ghosts, and the gods and spirits that different villages believe in are different, and the totems of faith are also different.
"Come with me. ”
The Duobao Ghost Master didn't say anything more, walked towards the ancestral shrine, and finally slapped his hand on a certain position on the wall, and the sound of the gear turning came, and a hole appeared in the ground, and a row of downward steps appeared inside the hole.
"Bazaar is forbidden, and others will be killed when they step into it. ”
After saying this with a serious expression, the Duobao Ghost Master walked into the hole, and Fang Ming also followed, but when Ling Chuchu and the others wanted to go in, they were stopped by Lao K, because the words of the Duobao Ghost Master just now were warnings.
The above respects the rules of the Miao people, since the Duobao Ghost Master said so, if they step into this cave, then even if the Duobao Ghost Master kills everyone, the above will not be able to stand up for them.
"Miss Ling, don't be impatient, this matter is no longer something we can deal with, let's leave it to Young Master Fang." ”
Old K stopped Ling Chuchu, all they could do now was to wait here, but in Old K's heart, he still hoped that Fang Ming would not go to Heavenly Burial Mountain.
The Heavenly Burial Mountain is too mysterious, the danger inside can be imagined, Lao K doesn't think that Fang Ming can get out of the way after entering, and although Department A is responsible for dealing with the cultivation world, to be honest, its position in the cultivation world is very embarrassing.
For the cultivation world, they are eagle claws, those famous sects don't care about them at all, only some casual cultivators choose to get close to them, but the strength of casual cultivation can be imagined, joining them is just to obtain resources.
But Fang Ming was different, the Fang family was talented on the first day, and even now he is called a peerless genius in the cultivation world that is rare in a hundred years in the cultivation world, he has a background and talent, and most importantly, it is said that he has a good relationship with the above, if such a person grows up in the cultivation world, it will be a good thing for their A department.
……
Not to mention Lao K's responsible heart, the Duobao Ghost Master who walked into the cave at this moment walked towards the bottom of the steps without saying a word, and Fang Ming also followed silently, with the current strength of the two of them, this bit of darkness was nothing to them at all.
The steps were very long, and it took a quarter of an hour to walk to the end, and at the end of the steps, the oil lamp in the hand of the Duobao Ghost Master suddenly turned on, and with the light of this oil lamp, a huge altar appeared in front of Fang Ming, and around this altar, there were also more than a dozen fire altars lit up, completely illuminating the entire basement.
All kinds of statues stand around the altar, with the appearance of the sun, moon and stars, and the shape of wind, fire, thunder and lightning, from mountains and forests to flat land, from dragons and tigers to cattle and dogs......
Just looking at these statues, Fang Ming knew that this should be the thirty-six gods and seventy-two ghosts that the Miao people believed in.
However, Fang Ming was a little curious, who was worshipping on this altar, and it could be ranked above the thirty-six gods and seventy-two ghosts.
"This is dedicated to the gods of Basha Ancient Village, see the oil lamp placed on the altar, as long as you go up, like the god to say your purpose, if the oil lamp will automatically ignite, it means that the god allows you to go to the Heavenly Burial Mountain. ”
The oil lamp Fang Ming saw that it was exactly the same as the one in the hands of the Duobao ghost master, and in front of the oil lamp was a statue, but this statue was covered by a red cloth, so Fang Ming couldn't see the appearance of the gods believed in this Bazaar ancient village.
After glancing at the Duobao Ghost Master, Fang Ming did not hesitate, he walked directly towards the top of the altar, and after walking more than a dozen steps, he finally came to the oil lamp, facing the red cloth statue that looked down at him condescendingly.
It was precisely because of turning around that Fang Ming didn't see the expression on Duobao Ghost Master's face under the firelight, it was an extremely complicated expression, it seemed to have hope but unwillingness.
The oil lamp is very quaint, and there is not even lamp oil, if you change to an ordinary person, you must think that the Duobao ghost master is deliberately making things difficult for people, but Fang Ming doesn't think so, with the Miao people's belief in the gods, it is absolutely impossible to joke with the gods.
Fang Ming rubbed his hand on the oil lamp, the surface of the oil lamp was very smooth, which was caused by being held for a long time, just like an ancient jade that had been played with for a long time, coated with slurry and lubrication.
Just when Fang Ming fumbled for a while about to withdraw his hand, the fire altars around the altar suddenly went out, and the entire altar returned to darkness, but at this moment, a voice floated from a distance, the sound was extremely ethereal, and it was not until a few seconds later that Fang Ming could hear the content of the sound clearly.
This is a singing voice, but the singing voice is not Chinese, and it is also a little different from Miao Chinese, as if it comes from endless years and time.
However, when the song appeared, the Duobao ghost master below became extremely excited, he had also heard such a song, when he became a ghost master, this ballad had also sounded, at that time he didn't know what this ballad meant, and the previous ghost master told him that this was an ancestral ballad, a ballad left by their Miao ancestors.
This is the ancestral Miao language, the language of their Miao ancestors, which has long been extinct, so even the previous ghost master doesn't know what this ballad is singing.
Fang Ming couldn't see Duobao Ghost Master's excited expression, and Duobao Ghost Master couldn't see Fang Ming's shocked look at the moment.
This ballad ...... Fang Ming had heard that there was such a ballad in the wizarding inheritance he had obtained, and he understood the meaning of the sentence repeated in the ballad.
"Who is the earliest in life and who is the oldest?"
That's what this ballad means.
Fang Ming began to chant according to the ballad in the wizard inheritance: "Jiang Yang is the earliest? Jiang Yang is the oldest?"
It is also the ancestral Miao language, but the whole person of the Duobao ghost master below was stunned, because he couldn't even answer this ballad at the beginning, but he just remembered this sentence firmly, not only him, but even his predecessor and even all the ghost masters in Bazaar Ancient Village never answered.
"He must be thinking nonsense, my clan's ancestral Miao language, how could he know?" the Duobao Ghost Master muttered to himself, although Fang Ming's voice sounded so imaginary to the ancestral Miao language.
However, when the song came again, the whole person of Duobao Ghost Master trembled with excitement, because this time the singing voice had changed, it was something he had never heard, what did this mean, it showed that Fang Ming's answer was correct, and only in this way would this ancestral ballad enter the next sentence.
"Jiang Yang was the earliest, Jiang Yang is the oldest, Jiang Yang was born late, Jiang Yang is not early. ”
……
Every time Fang Ming answered, the ballad was passed on to the next sentence, and the Duobao Dao people were desperately trying to remember the content of the ancestral ballad, until the moment when the oil lamp suddenly turned on, the ballad suddenly disappeared.
The oil lamp lit up, Fang Ming looked back at the Duobao Ghost Master, ignoring the excitement on the Duobao Ghost Master's face, and asked, "Who is Jiang Yang?"
Duobao Ghost Master was stunned for a moment before replying: "Jiang Yang is the ancestor of our Miao people, and he created the Miao people. ”
Hearing Duobao Ghost Master's answer, Fang Ming frowned, if he wanted to say so, Jiang Yang was quite a human in the Han nationality, but according to the meaning of the ballad, there was still an existence before Jiang Yang.
PS: In order to write the content of the Miao people, I have checked some customs and myths of the Miao people.
