Amisha just wanted to refute why the government didn't want to improve the quality and education level of the people, but then she thought of the previous argument with Shakru, who had a very simple opinion: at present, India has too many people, and the average family has five or six children, so it is difficult to ensure that all children receive higher education; The government's financial capacity is limited and it is unlikely that it will invest too much in education; The privileged class does not want the people at the bottom to know too much, otherwise it will be difficult to manage. These three factors have contributed to the fact that the quality and education level of the people at the bottom of the Indian population is not high in any way.

Therefore, when Amisha watched a snake charmer holding the snake's neck with one hand and pouring milk down the cobra's head with the other, while the people next to him were bowing and worshipping, she was suddenly shocked by this originally sacred and solemn scene, and for some reason felt extremely ironic at this moment!

Just before Amisha knew it, everyone had passed through the crowd and came to the main hall of the Snake Temple, outside the hall was full of people, and the hall was also full of people, Liu Zi'an dragged Sha Kelu and asked in a low voice: "Lao Sha, why do these women take a copper pot and put it next to the statue?" ”

"Because the snake god is believed to be a symbol of life force, capable of giving birth to infertile women and longevity to frail children," Shakru explained in a low voice. Therefore, couples who are barren often bring offerings to the temple and ask the snake god to give them children. There is also a rule that women who want children must donate bronze vessels to the temple, and if they do have children in the future, the couple will come to the temple together and use the bronze vessels they donate to boil milk and rice porridge for the people who are incense to drink. ”

"Hehe, this snake god is really in charge, and he even robbed the job of sending Zi Guanyin."

As soon as he heard Liu Zi'an's ridiculous words, Sha Kelu was shocked, and after checking left and right that no one was paying attention to his side, he warned Liu Zi'an: "Shh, Lao Liu, you don't look at the place if you talk nonsense, if others hear it, you will be in trouble today!" ”

Just when the two were talking in a low voice, suddenly the priest in the temple came out and read it for a long time, and Liu Zi'an, the Indian language spoken by the old priest, naturally didn't understand what it meant, so he asked Shaklu: "Lao Sha, what did this old guy say?" ”

"Lao Liu, we are blessed today, and there will be a priestess of the altar to perform the snake dance later, which is not seen at ordinary times. However, it's strange, why is there a priest snake dance this year for no reason? Shakru said with some confusion.

In fact, it is no wonder that Shakru was surprised, because although snake dances are very common, the snake dances of altar priestesses are very rare, unless there is something very important, they will not come out to dance easily.

Fortunately, there are still a lot of insiders, Shakru and Amisha quickly learned the truth of the matter from the people around them who came to ask for children, which is okay, but as soon as they knew the truth of the matter, the two were stunned, because this matter was too amazing.

Looking at Sha Kelu and Amisha's shocked looks, Liu Zi'an couldn't hold back his curiosity, and stepped forward to ask, "Lao Sha, what is the matter?" How did you surprise you like this? ”

"The reason why the priestess of the altar came to dance the snake dance today is because a wedding will be held in this snake temple today, but the groom of this wedding is more special, because the groom is him!" Shakru said, pointing to the snake idol.

Liu Zi'an asked puzzledly, "What did you say?" Is the groom a god idol? Stop, who's crazy? Marry a god? Unless the bride is also a god! ”

Shakru smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That bride is a 14-year-old girl from a nearby village, and it is said that she has often dreamed of this snake god recently, and the snake god said that it was her husband and wanted to marry her. When the village elders learned about this, they kept urging her to marry the snake god as soon as possible, otherwise it would bring disaster to her and the whole village. That's why the wedding was arranged on today's Snake Festival, and that's why the priestess of the altar came out to perform the snake dance as a congratulatory gesture. ”

Liu Zi'an opened his mouth wide and sighed: "This, this is too nonsense, right?" That little girl obviously had a nightmare, why are these adults still taking it seriously? If you want to hold a wedding with the statue, won't this girl's life be ruined? By the way, Lao Sha, aren't you also some kind of brahmin? Can you stop it? ”

"It's true that my caste belongs to a Brahmin, but I don't have a priesthood right now, and it's not my state, so I can't interfere with anything at all. Besides, I don't think it's that simple, Lao Liu, let's wait and see! ”

It wasn't long before the priestess of the altar appeared to perform the snake dance, and although she wore a veil and could not see her appearance clearly, she could tell by her slender figure and delicate waist skin that she was not very old. At the beginning of the performance, she bowed down to a closed basket with a cobra, and then slapped it violently on the edge of the basket, and the cobra jumped out of the basket, and then the priestess danced with the cold-blooded reptile as if dancing with death, singing and dancing, and at the end of the whole dance ceremony, the priestess fell to her knees and carefully kissed the head of the cobra that was already standing in front of her three times, and when the song ended, her dance movements would also turn weak and weak, and finally, She abruptly ended with a violent body movement.

After the snake dance, the 14-year-old bride Anjiali wore a pink sari and a bright red silk scarf on her head, and was led by her brother into the snake temple and came to the statue of the snake god.

Then Angeli burned incense, water, and flowers to her "husband", the statue, and then the priests in the temple came out to chant and pray for blessings.

After all the ceremonies are over, the bride's family and guests come forward to express their blessings. The strange thing is that during the whole process, the little bride has been sitting upright, not saying a word, even after the end, she does not want to go home, but wants to spend more time in the temple with her "husband". (This is true, it happened in 2011 in the village of Ronkara in Chandwara district, Maadja province, central India, except that the marriage was not on the festival of snakes.) ）
