Chapter 010 Life Experience (Fifth Month Pass)
"Granny Hong is my grandmother, and she has been dead for eight years." Sang Linzhu told Lu Luo.
Mulberry beads have been pretending to be a "red mother-in-law" for eight years.
Lu Luo asked her why she had to pretend to be a red mother-in-law: "Miaojiang is full of goddesses. With your qualifications, maybe you can still be a high priest, why don't you be a goddess and pretend to be an old lady? ”
Sang Linzhu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "You don't understand, I really want to be a high priest, but I never can." ”
Lu Luo asked her why.
Sang Linzhu said: "I am not holy. ”
Lu Luo frowned.
"I have half foreign blood, and I am not a holy Hmong." Sang Linzhu sighed.
When Lu Luo heard this, he stopped talking.
Sang Linzhu told Lu Luo: "My grandmother served as a high priest and was very loved by the people, and my mother was very talented, and the elders even said that she should be the high priestess of the holy women. ”
Lu Luo asked her, "What is the difference between a high priest and a holy high priestess?" ”
"The high priest changes every ten years, and most of them are married women or men; The Holy High Priestess is for life, and she needs to be a virgin. "Mulberry Bead Road.
"My mother also intends to be a high priestess, she is very talented, her grandmother taught her a lot, and the elders deliberately cultivated her.
But when she was twenty-five years old, when she was supposed to take over as the holy high priestess and become the fourth holy high priestess of the Miao family, she retreated, ran away with a foreign man, and married that man.
In those two years, Miao Village suffered a year of drought and a year of flood, and everyone said that it was the saint's virginity that brought disaster to Miao Village.
From then on, the 47th of the Miao family did not allow a woman surnamed Sang Lin to take over as the high priest. Even the entire poor woman was not allowed to take over.
The poor people hate the Sanglin family, and the people of the Sanglin family hate my mother and my grandmother, because they ruined the Sanglin family and ruined the Mianlin.
My grandmother has been atoning for her sins all her life, and she used her body to raise Gu worms for the people nearby, and slowly won the forgiveness of the poor people.
They respected her, and her life improved a little, and she became famous near and far.
My mother became pregnant the year after she got married.
When she gave birth to me, it was in the winter months, and it was freezing cold. Her in-laws said she was a Miao. It's a foreign woman. If you give birth at home, it will bring bad luck to the family and will provoke the disaster of blood and light.
The winter months were cold, and it rained heavily during those days. They put my mother in the cowshed. Dilapidated cowshed leaking rain. My mother was drenched in cold rain. Her husband and mother-in-law avoided seeing her.
My mother was afraid that the child would fall to the ground and get wet in the rain, so she cried and begged the family to take her to a clean house to give birth.
But no one agreed. Her voice was hoarse from crying, and it took two days to give birth to me.
When I was born, she was so cold that she had a high fever and lochia in the rain, and she died on the fifth day.
After my mother died, my grandmother rushed to the house, cast a death curse on all the family, destroyed them, and took me back to Miao Village.
At that time, the Sanglin family and the poor people hated my mother, and if they took me back, they would definitely be afraid that I would bring bad luck to Miao Village, and they would kill me and make me a Kuman Thong.
My grandmother said that I picked it up outside her bamboo building.
In order to dispel doubts, my grandmother later picked up a few more abandoned babies.
Later, when people heard that Granny Hong adopted abandoned babies, more and more girls were left outside my grandmother's bamboo building, and my grandmother raised fourteen girls, and it was not until she died eight years ago that I stopped adopting.
Before my grandmother died, she was afraid that I would be helpless in the future and would not be able to live for life, so she asked me to dress up as her and continue to be a 'red mother-in-law', so that someone would worship me.
There are three 150-year-old people in the Miao people, and I will pretend to be a red mother-in-law for another 60 years, and no one will doubt it. At that time, I will be eighty or ninety years old, and my life will pass without worry. ”
Lu Luo listened, didn't speak for a long time, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
She wanted to say something, but from the standpoint of an outsider, it was inappropriate to say anything.
Sang Linzhu didn't need the comfort of Lu Luo's boots.
The two fell silent.
"Are you really going to pretend to be a red mother-in-law for the rest of your life?" After being silent for a long time, Lu Luo spoke first.
"I don't want to pretend for the rest of my life, I want to be a high priest." Sang Linzhu said, "It's hard, I know. ”
"That's good, there's nothing in the world that isn't difficult?" Lu Luo cooks chicken soup for the soul.
After Sang Linzhu's story was finished, Lu Luo also told a few things about his family in detail.
Sang Linzhu had never set foot in Kyoto in the Central Plains, Lu Luo said that those wives and concubines were fighting together, Sang Linzhu thought it was very interesting, and she listened quietly.
"You Central Plains people say that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, isn't it?" Sang Linzhu sighed.
Lu Luo smiled: "Exactly! ”
Suddenly, the light in the room dimmed.
A lamp ran out of oil.
Sang Linzhu got up to add oil, and Lu Luo also brought the topic back to the Gu worm on his body by the way.
"That's the Dragon Gu." Sang Linzhu told Lu Luo.
What is Dragon Gu?
Sang Linzhu explained this topic well until dawn.
"If you don't tame the Dragon Gu, you will be found by that ruthless high priest; After taming the Dragon Gu, you will become the next High Priest? Lu Luo finally understood.
Lu Luo only saw the high priest of the Kwaba borer, and her daughter bit Lu Luo with a snake, so Lu Luo posted a "ruthless heart" to her.
Sang Linzhu thinks this word is very appropriate.
"Not bad." Sang Linzhu said, "If she finds you, in order to prevent leakage of news, you, me, and even the two hundred or so families who are trapped will suffer." ”
Lu Luo was a little frightened.
Lu Luo shook his head: "I don't want to mess with your high priest, let alone be your high priest. Besides, your people will not agree to a stranger being the high priest. I'll give you this Gu."
As soon as her voice fell, a slight pain came from her abdomen, like a child coquettishly kicking it gently.
Lu Luo stroked his lower abdomen, as if he was pregnant.
Long Gu was probably unhappy when she heard that she was going to let herself out.
Lu Luo was stunned.
Sang Linzhu also said: "No! Dragon Gu is the god of our Miao people, it will not choose a new master for hundreds of years, since it has chosen you, it is yours. You said let it be to me, and you desecrated it.
You want peace, the poor people and I want peace, and we don't want to offend the high priest. The only thing we could do before was for the two of us to work together to tame the Dragon Gu so that the Kwaba borer could not find it. ”
"Didn't you say that it was difficult to tame the Dragon Gu, and it needed the assistance of a dozen elders, how could the two of us do it? I only have a few fur spells. Lu Luo said.
"This is not an ordinary situation at all." Sang Lin Zhu said, "The Dragon Gu chose you, it voluntarily recognized the master, what you have to do is to accept its recognition of the master." I know mantras, my grandmother was a high priest, she taught me. ”
Before the others became high priests, the dragon Gu was very repulsive to the new lord, so it needed to be tamed by the elders; And it has accepted Lu Luo, and now as long as Lu Luo knows how to tame, it is Lu Luo's.
To be more precise, the Dragon Gu was waiting for Lu Luo to complete a ritual, a ritual to accept it and merge with it.
This "taming" is actually acceptance.
Lu Luo picked up a treasure out of thin air-
