Chapter 1850: The Wedding by the Divine Pond (I)
The rain kept falling, sometimes big, sometimes small, and it was very annoying.
Along the way, the skulls of the expeditionary force continued to appear in everyone's sight under the washing of the rain. Thinking about the 100,000 expeditionary force back then, many people were buried in Savage Mountain, and everyone walked silently.
The wreckage of paralyzed tanks, soldiers' helmets, and even firearms sometimes emerge on the roadside and in the grass, shining with white light, eerily reminding everyone that there are ghosts everywhere in Savage Mountain.
"It's a village of the Naga tribe in front, I hope nothing happens!" After a day of rain, everyone's mood was not high. Even Jin Wan, who often goes in and out of Savage Mountain, is tired of it.
"I hope so!" Zhen Cheng also wanted the brothers to have a good rest. Although Xin Xiaolin's leg injury was not tight, it still affected the team's itinerary. By the time it got dark, it had been six full days, and Hanmang had never rested. If there is a big fight at this time, it is not a good time.
When it rains in the mountains, it seems that the sky suddenly becomes much shorter. Fortunately, the Hanmang people were lucky, when they arrived at the Naga tribe, the Hanmang people were not attacked, and the Naga tribe did not show hostility towards Zhen Cheng and the others.
Walking into the tribe, Jin Wan told Zhen Cheng that the Naga tribe was holding a wedding.
It was the son of the chief of the Naga tribe and the girl of the tribe who married. A simple wedding feast in the eyes of everyone in the cold mang, in the eyes of everyone in the Naga tribe, yes.
Jin Wan was very familiar with the chieftain of the Naga tribe and had a good conversation. Zhen Cheng couldn't understand what the two were saying, so he had to peek into the secret from Jin Wan's eyes.
Greetings, gifts, when everything is done, the people of Hanmang can finally rest and adjust in this tribe.
Maybe it's because Zhen Cheng sent enough gifts, and they were good enough. The chief happily invited the people of Hanmang to the tribal wedding.
Although it was completely dark, the rain had no intention of stopping. The place where the Naga tribe holds their wedding is not indoors, but outdoors, a small stone pond that is often quoted for water, which is called the sacred pond by the Naga tribe.
The Hanmang people who washed themselves were like immortals from the sky, and every time they walked out, they would make the men and women of the Naga tribe Kiri Wola shout loudly, which would cause a lot of commotion.
The waist knife is shiny, the face is cold, and the girls are all veiled. This is Zhen Cheng's request, mainly to avoid trouble. In a male tribe, they advocate force, and they also have shining eyes for beautiful women.
Changing into clean clothes from the inside out, although it was only camouflage, the mood of the crowd was surprisingly good.
"The legendary savage doesn't seem to be anything special!" The cow baby's small eyes slid over the tribal woman's chest, legs, and buttocks, and she turned her head to complain in a low voice.
"The Naga tribe is not a complete savage tribe! Just look at the number of people here, it's more like a village away from the hustle and bustle of the city! Huang Yiyi smiled, and the light veil on her face was very interesting.
Whispering conversations, whispered discussions and pointing, Niu Wazi and others are like tourists who come to sightsee, curious about everything and excited about everything. A group of children followed behind Niu Wazi and others, shouting and waiting for Niu Wazi to generously throw out the candy.
When Zhen Cheng and others came to the wedding site, the rain actually stopped. The chief looked excited, knelt on the ground, and thanked the heavens loudly with a strange incantation.
Zhen Cheng and others were also invited to a place that was considered a VIP seat to watch the ceremony. The wedding began quickly, it was so novel, so eye-catching.
An altar was temporarily arranged next to the shrine, and a cedar plank was laid on it.
The wooden board was inlaid with a piece of black jade glowing with blue light, and two men drove a wild boar to the board. The boar held its fangs, its face marked by a bite from its own kind, and roared "bluffing", rushing left and right to run for its life, and the two Naga men kicked it down on the board with their feet.
"Please—God—Po—" the chief cried out in Naga when he saw that the boar had been flattened.
"Please, Goddess—" Everyone in the Naga tribe stretched out their arms and shouted.
As the voice fell, a sturdy woman holding a cheetah suddenly rushed to the edge of the pool.
The goddess's body was green, her face was expressionless, her actual age was not visible, and she was estimated to be around twenty years old, and her clothes were like naked paintings.
The cheetah is a male leopard, and the roar it emits makes the land around the Divine Pond tremble.
"Bride and groom, please—" cried the goddess.
The bridegroom's name is Bessa and the bride's name is Guli. A couple of newcomers dressed in incomprehensible costumes that Zhen Cheng and others couldn't understand, appeared in front of everyone with smiles on their faces.
On the edge of the divine pond, a large iron pot was erected that was more than one person tall and could not see the original appearance clearly. The rising flames and the steaming water vapor complemented each other at this moment, and Zhen Cheng and the others had a trance feeling that they had mistakenly entered the fairyland.
The goddess suddenly knelt on a dirt ground that happened to be covered with steam, closed her eyes, muttered in her mouth, and the howling cheetah suddenly lost her voice, and looked at the bride and groom quietly.
"The bride and groom worship the church - one worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, three worships the god of Muli Muli, four worships the goddess, and the husband and wife worship each other!" A young man beside the chief shouted in a long voice.
The bride and groom did so happily, with a happy smile on their faces all the time.
The ritual by the pond does not allow the newcomer to speak at all, otherwise the god of Muli will think that there is dissent and blame the newcomer for his honesty and loyalty.
"The second item of the ceremony, ask the bride and groom to take the oath—" shouted the young man beside the chief.
"How can this wedding be similar to a wedding outside?" Lin Mengwei, who was standing beside Zhen Cheng, asked in a low voice in surprise.
"People from the outside can come in, and people from the inside can go out of course! After so many years, where are there still completely pure savages! Zhen Cheng's eyebrows furrowed and replied softly.
"Goo woo woo la-" The surrounding tribal men and women suddenly made a loud noise like an earth-shattering sound, and the atmosphere of the scene seemed to have entered a * at once.
Behind the goddess, someone played a grotesque tune on a tree harp, and the goddess began to perform a strange dance, and the cheetah followed her with his head and tail, baring his teeth and grinning.
After a dance, the goddess stopped, her eyes looked directly at the cheetah, who seemed to understand what she meant, and came to the bride and groom with a knife in her mouth.
The goddess blew on Guli and gestured with her hand to a spell symbol.
The goddess's right index and middle fingers were twisted together, and after drawing in front of Guli, she pointed her finger at the groom. The groom's expression suddenly became very strange, and the goddess seemed to have sensed it, and quickly turned her finger to the cheetah, and after a loud roar, she quickly muttered and closed her eyes.
Cheetah placed the knife in front of Guli.
Gu Li suddenly turned into a wooden man, his eyes were glazed, and he mechanically picked up the hunting knife, and he didn't even look at the groom, and his consciousness seemed to be blurred.
Guli took the hunting knife and walked straight towards the wild boar on the board......
"Kill pigs?" Lin Mengwei exhaled in a low voice, and her heart beat wildly like never before. On a happy day, how can a newcomer be allowed to kill?
Unlike Lin Mengwei, Dog Wazi and others watched with great interest. In addition to the howl of wild boars, there was also the sound of the soles of shoes rubbing against the ground when Guli walked by, and the whole wedding scene was briefly quiet at this moment.
One of the two men was tugging on the boar's tail, and the other was pressing on the boar's fangs so tightly that the boar's mouth could not be opened. Two fangs hung like two lip rings on the boar's ravine-crisscrossed face.
Gu Li, who walked in front of the wild boar, stabbed the hunting knife into the neck of the wild boar without hesitation, suddenly changed his hand to the heart, and then pulled the knife lightly, and the blood of the wild boar was like a high-pressure faucet, accurately rushing into the open mouth of the cheetah, but Gu Li's body did not splash a drop of blood.
"It's amazing!" Qian Yuxue's eyes widened, and she sighed softly. Gu Li's thin body can make such a quick movement, except for the help of God, what explanation can there be?
"Goo-wa-" The people by the pond suddenly boiled and erupted into a tsunami-like scream......
The cheetah suddenly jumped up, bit the knife edge of the wild boar, roared and sucked, the wild boar snorted and twitched, and its eyes gradually lost their luster......
"Hula, woo, woo, wow......," the crowd shouted.
The cheetah straightened its waist and erupted into a dull jolt from its chest, tossing three hundred kilograms of wild boar into the boiling iron pot.
The two Naga men took a hook and poked into the center of the cauldron, turned the boar's carcass over, and then pulled it back to the edge of the pool. The cheetah roared again, and with its front paws threw the boar back at the black jade board. The two Naga men "swished" and pulled out their hunting knives, and "shaved" the pig's hair. In less than five minutes, the wild boar was scraped clean.
"Squeak, ......squeak,
The goddess muttered her spell again, gesturing the charm, and Guli picked up the hunting knife again.
After a flash of the knife, from beginning to end, a red line appeared on the boar's corpse, which slowly split into two pieces.
The people by the pond were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly shouted wildly, "Squeak, s......queak, s
All the women attending the wedding rushed to the board with a shout, and they quickly cut off the hunting knives in their hands, and cut the two pieces of meat into even hundreds. The man also hurriedly stepped forward and wrapped the meat pieces in banana leaves and placed them on the edge of the sacred pond.
The goddess came to the bridegroom's side and drew a charm, and whispered to Gul for a while.
Guli returned to her normal state and walked to the groom's side. Guli put her hand directly into the pocket of the groom's underwear, and quickly took out a leopard skin from Besha's arms, and then respectfully took out the leopard skin and handed it to the goddess.
The goddess looked at it carefully, and then twisted her index and middle fingers together to draw a strange symbol. The cheetah looked up at her every movement. The goddess threw the leopard skin into the air, and the cheetah roared and jumped up, bit the leopard skin, and landed on the board, and then used her front and back paws to take turns to wipe the blood stains on the board.
The cheetah returned to the priestess and handed the leopard skin to the goddess. The goddess caressed the cheetah and kissed its neck. Two Naga men knelt in front of the cheetah with the heart and liver of the wild boar on a tray.
