Chapter 165: All the way south
On the day of the Indigo Tribe's sacrifice, Ah Umbrella also wore a grand Indigo costume and a hat studded with silver ornaments on his head.
The clan festival starts in the morning, and after the ancestor worship ceremony is held in the large open space in the center of the village, groups of indigo people enter the back mountain in an orderly manner to worship the mountain god. When it was Abqi's turn, it was already the time when Zhengyang was slightly west.
Ah Umbrella and Abna, who followed the elders, kept their faces solemn and crossed their hands on their shoulders, which was the ritual of worshipping the mountain god.
The place where the mountain god is located is just a small cave, and a faceless monster is carved in relief on the stone wall facing north in the cave. The patriarch of the indigo tribe stood respectfully in front of the relief, and whenever a new batch of indigo people came in, the patriarch would sprinkle each tribesman with willow branches dipped in water.
Ah Umbrella felt a chill on his forehead, and he didn't know why, so he felt a trace of inexplicable traction. Just as the Abqi family bowed their heads and prayed for blessings, Abqi stepped forward and leaned over to whisper a few words in the patriarch's ear. The patriarch looked at Ah Umbrella with his head down, thought for a moment, and nodded.
Ah Umbrella didn't expect to be able to get the patriarch's consent so easily to ask the mountain god, crossed his hands and put his shoulders, and bowed to the patriarch in thanks. Ah Umbrella approached the relief, pressed his hands to the monster's claws at the patriarch's signal, and closed his eyes.
"Mountain God, if you really exist, please tell me, where is the long fish now?"
Ah Umbrella recited silently in his heart several times, but did not get a response, and his heart gradually sank, but there was no bottom, but he kept calm. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand in disappointment, Ah Umbrella suddenly felt a movement under his hands, and a suction force slowly absorbed his true qi into it. Ah Umbrella frowned. I don't know if it's good or bad, but she still hasn't withdrawn her hand. Whenever there was a little hope, she had to give it a try.
"Long Fish...... Is he missing? The melodious male voice suddenly rushed into Ah Umbrella's ears, Ah Umbrella was startled, and his heart was uncertain, how many layers of meaning did this mean?
"Do you know where he was last place?"
"The Hall of Chance."
The mountain god was suddenly silent, if it weren't for the fact that the true qi in his body was still being continuously channeled out, Ah Umbrella would have thought that the mountain god had lost contact.
"Sutian faction, Zeng family, "Records of the Palace of Chance".
Long. The mountain god spoke again. As soon as the words fell, the true qi in Ah Umbrella's body was also interrupted in vain.
When Ah Umbrella let go of the relief, he saw the incredible eyes of the patriarch, and Ah Umbrella didn't know it. Just now when she was talking to the mountain god. A flaming face appeared on the monster's head. Flameface's mouth closed one by one, as if to say something.
"Just ...... you"
"I've asked what I want, thank you." Ah Umbrella crossed his hands again and bent down in thanks.
"Sure enough. Really! You've talked to the mountain gods, haven't you? The patriarch was a little excited and crazy, and the eyes of the Abqi family looking at Ah Umbrella were also excited.
Ah Umbrella nodded, the patriarch was confirmed, and suddenly knelt on the ground, bowed to the relief, and the people wearing indigo behind him also bowed down and bowed, and the mountain god appeared again, and the mountain god stayed by their side. Ah Umbrella's heart moved, and he also bowed down-
"Mountain God, whatever you are, I have to be grateful to you."
The news of the dialogue between Ah Umbrella and the mountain god spread all over the village after the end of the clan sacrifice, and the Indigo people are even more kind and enthusiastic to Ah Umbrella, and those who are recognized by the mountain god will also be recognized by them. Ah Umbrella felt ashamed, and extended the days of leaving, teaching everything that could be taught to the indigo women.
When you meet for thousands of miles, you must say goodbye.
On the day Ah Umbrella left, he received a lot of gifts, and it was difficult to resist the kindness, Ah Umbrella endured the feeling of handstand and took over the bottle of insects. Waving goodbye to the indigo people, after this farewell, the end of the world is next to each other.
Ah Umbrella left the Nandu Mountains and came to the junction with the Nanxi Forest, and saw the bow and arrow on An Lengzhu's back, wrapped in a piece of black, not like the person who came to fight her for the last time.
"Where are you going?" An Lengzhu walked in front of Ah Umbrella, in terms of height, An Lengzhu and Ah Umbrella are half a catty. It's just a cold and an arrogant, and the proud one naturally looks taller.
Ah Umbrella wanted to turn around and go to the north directly, but was stopped by Jiufang. Jiufang only said that even if the Hall of Chance was found as soon as possible, it would not be able to be opened with an umbrella, and no one knew how long the Hall of Chance would be closed. Jiufang suggested that Ah Umbrella improve his strength and then look for the Hall of Chance, but Ah Umbrella wanted to see Changyu as soon as possible.
Ah Umbrella pondered in the Southern Twilight Mountains for several days. On that day, I saw a little girl with an indigo cloth wrapped around her head, named Abug, the child who had been plundered to make a furnace, and now she had taken off her headdress and dress, and stayed in the back mountain to pray for the blessings of the people and accompany the mountain gods. She didn't tell her people what happened to her, she told Ah Umbrella that everything was already like this, she had already experienced the worst, and she didn't want her family to worry about her. After Abuge finished speaking, he smiled softly and added: I planted worm eggs in that man, and he will not be much better off in the future.
After Abuge left, Ah Umbrella thought for a long time, the long fish was inside, whether she went or not, it would not be worse than the current situation. Her current cultivation is going to the Sutian Sect to hit a hard nail, and she will innocently trouble those she wants to protect.
In the end, Ah Umbrella decided to go south.
Ah Umbrella retracted his thoughts, and saw that An Lengzhu had been waiting for her answer, so he said, "I don't know, let's go all the way south." ”
"I'll go with you."
Ah Umbrella raised his eyebrows, "You sneaked out?" ”
An Lengzhu was a little embarrassed by being caught, turned his head slightly, and said awkwardly: "I haven't won against you yet, so I naturally want to follow you." ”
"Umbrella girl, let her follow, this girl is tougher than you." Jiufang said.
Ah Umbrella was a little hesitant and ran out without permission, but it was a big trouble and a big burden.
"Don't think her grandfather doesn't know, that guy is peeking in a tree not far away, if it weren't for the old guy's acquiescence, this girl would be able to wait for you here safely?"
In this way, Ah Umbrella ended his journey alone and went south with An Lengzhu. Shortly after the two left, a man with silver and black hair appeared. Looking at the figure with two braids gradually disappearing, he slowly paced towards the forest.
"Young man."
Leaving the Nandui Mountains, Ah Umbrella released the white cat, and the white cat did not wait to see the moving boneless mollusks, and insisted on staying in the mustard seed space. This stay is more than half a year, and when I came out, I asked for an umbrella to eat.
"How could I lose at the hands of someone who was distracted by cooking and raising cats!?"
An Lengzhu watched Ah Umbrella take the trouble to feed the white cat, and his mood became inexplicably complicated, the fat white cat had no aura at all, and he was like an uncle, eating steamed dumplings in soup dumplings, the fresh meat filling was not pork belly, the shrimp filling must add some sesame oil, and the balsamic vinegar in the crab roe should be thicker......
On top of that, the fat cat didn't look at her from beginning to end.
An Lengzhu snorted coldly and turned his head to look at the scenery elsewhere.
"I won you, and it has nothing to do with whether I have a cat or not, whether I can cook or not." Ah Umbrella, who turned into a cat slave, served the white cat well before he spoke to An Lengzhu.
An Lengzhu turned around and said, "In addition to cultivation, I practice hard every day to practice magic and martial arts. ”
"You can't just see yourself." Ah Umbrella said, "You still have to see me, I won you have my own cleverness, even if I cook and raise cats on weekdays." I didn't win because you weren't good enough, but because I happened to be better than you. ”
"You!"
An Lengzhu couldn't refute it, every time she lost, she would go back to practice hard, feeling that she had made progress and then challenged, lost again, went back to practice hard, challenged again, and so on. She only thinks that she should be able to beat Ah Umbrella, but she doesn't pay attention to why Ah Umbrella will win over her. An Lengzhu remembered his grandfather's words again: "If you can't see someone smart, you can't see anyone good, you won't be smart in the end, you won't be good." (To be continued.) )
PS: Nanxi Forest and Anxi Tribe. I'm confused myself. Alas! It's so hard to come up with a name!
