Ye Xiaotian said blankly: "Godfather, what godfather?" ”
Seeing that he didn't understand the Miao language, he didn't think that he didn't understand the customs of the Miao people, so he explained to him with a smile.
It turns out that the names of the seedlings in this place are three times in their lives, which are all very important rituals. The first time is a milk name. On the morning of the third day of the child's life, a shaman is called in to perform the ritual, and the parents or grandparents choose the child's name, with the words in front of the name in Mi and the name in the back.
When the child grows up, remove the word mi, add the father's surname or mother's surname, and the habit is that the first name comes first, and the surname comes last, forming his new name. When he is old, he will change his name again according to his status and status, as a metaphor for the three important stages of life: youth, prime of life and old age.
If the child cries incessantly on the morning of the third day of birth, it is very unlucky, and the wizard will not do things for him at this time, according to the habit of the tribe, the elders of the family will go to the village bridge to lay in ambush, and wait until the first person who does not know will pass by the bridge, then he will be the godfather of the child chosen by the Gu God, and he will invite him home, and he will comfort the child until the child stops crying and name him.
Ye Xiaotian listened to what Ge Duo Lao said, and then he understood the reason, he couldn't leave left and right, what was it to help people, and besides, he heard that this Miao man was the leader of this tribe, and his heart was even more moved, or he could leave by his door.
Therefore, Ye Xiaotian readily agreed, and said, "Okay, where is your house, I'll go with you!" ”
Geduo was very happy and smiled, "My son is in the temple, please come with me." ”
When Ye Xiaotian heard that his son was in the temple, he didn't feel a surprise in his heart, and then suddenly said: "Ordinary villagers have given birth to a child, and they want to ask the wizard to bless and do things for him.
Ye Xiaotian was very curious about this mysterious God Serving Venerable, and thought that if he could get close to the God Serving Venerable. Or will ask him to be kind and let him go, and this time he has to go.
Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei followed, but because they were going to the temple, it was Geduo who apologized for refusing them to go with him, so Ye Xiaotian asked the two of them to go back to the village first and left with Geduo.
To get to the temple, you can go around the mountains on both sides, but then you have to go far. Geduo and his family invited the newborn's godfather to the lake affectionately, and boarded a bamboo raft, which cut through the blue water, as if breaking through the smooth mirror, swinging out silky soft ripples, and sailed into the misty lake. Sail to the tall and majestic temple.
The bamboo raft landed at the end of the lake, the sound of the rumbling waterfall roared in the ears, and in front of him was a zigzag stone staircase winding upward, Ye Xiaotian followed them to climb hundreds of stone steps, and then came to the foot of the solemn temple, which was built on a cliff, towering and towering. Looking up at it, it will make people feel a suffocating sense of oppression, even Ye Xiaotian feels unusually solemn and sacred when he is under it, and the awe of those uncivilized seedlings towards the temple can be imagined.
When they arrived here, Geduo and his family stopped talking, their expressions became solemn, and they led Ye Xiaotian all the way up until they reached the gate of the temple. Seeing the towering stone pillars of at least six people hugging each other and more than ten feet high, no one came in or out.
Ge Duo whispered to Ye Xiaotian: "Here, after entering the temple, don't talk nonsense, after coaxing the child to stop crying, you will step aside and wait for the God Venerable to bless the child." Then I'll give the child a name, and I'll treat you to a drink when you get back. ”
Ye Xiaotian was puzzled: "Ah...... I'm not very good at coaxing children. ”
Geduo whispered: "It doesn't matter, if you stay up until he is tired, naturally he won't cry or make trouble." ”
Ye Xiaotian: "......"
Step into the high threshold of the temple. I saw that there was a very magnificent hall inside, on the dome was a portrait of a goddess resembling a flying goddess and a god of war holding a spear, and the walls on both sides were stone statues of giants as high as ten zhang, with concave noses and eyes, curly heads, and a pair of white wings behind some of them, and the people walking in it were like dwarfs who had entered the giant country.
"Something is wrong, this temple must have something to do with foreign devils!"
Ye Xiaotian, who had gone to the church of a Western missionary to attend a mass because of curiosity, immediately made a judgment, his heart was pounding, it was too strange, this ancient temple standing in the deep mountains and old forests was full of strangeness, if he wasn't in a hurry to leave, he would definitely have explored it well.
In the hall, a woman is holding a baby, the baby is crying, the woman looks at a loss, at the end of the hall, there is a huge stone throne, the throne is empty, but under the throne stands more than a dozen beautiful women who only cover their shame with an inch of wisps, and their posture is graceful and moving.
Geduo said to Ye Xiaotian in a low voice: "Don't stare at them, they are divine concubines." ”
Ye Xiaotian said strangely: "Divine concubine? The Gu God still wants to marry a concubine? ”
Ge Duo said: "Of course, they are all beauties selected by various tribes, and they are willing to serve the Gu God for life, and the Venerable Servant God will replace the Gu God and follow the way of men and women with them, their status is respected, and they cannot be blasphemed." ”
"This god-serving Venerable must be a god stick with "yingun", ah! I don't know how old he is, and he still has so many beauties, it's really fingery! I envy the dead mourning family......"
Ye Xiaotian was thinking nonsense in his mind, and secretly glanced at those glamorous and charming concubines, then lowered his eyes, and Geduo gently touched his arm, and whispered: "You go and coax the child, and when he stops crying and doesn't make trouble, I will go and ask the God Venerable to pray for him." ”
Ye Xiaotian didn't understand their rules, so she just stepped forward according to what Geduo said, the woman in Miao costume was probably the biological mother of this little doll, as soon as she saw her husband come in with a Han youth, she knew that this was the godfather she was looking for for the child, so she smiled gratefully at Ye Xiaotian and handed the child to him.
Ye Xiaotian clumsily hugged the little baby and coaxed: "Oh! The little baby doesn't cry, if you don't cry, turn around and let you ride Fuwaer, Fuwa'er is simple, with a round head and a short fluffy tail, which is particularly cute. ”
Ye Xiaotian said as he grimaced at the little doll, the little doll was a little boy, and there was a red dot on the center of his eyebrows, and he didn't know if it was because Ye Xiaotian's language style was very different from their own nationality that attracted him, or Ye Xiaotian's grimace aroused his interest, the little baby cried a few more times, and then sobbed and stopped crying.
He stared at a pair of black eyes. looked at Ye Xiaotian curiously, suddenly stretched out his chubby little arm, touched Ye Xiaotian's face, and grinned.
His mother glanced at her husband happily, and Geduo said happily: "The will of the old man cannot be disobeyed, this person is indeed the destined godfather of the child." I'm going to ask the Venerable God. ”
Gladle walked up to the steps in front of the throne and saluted one of the priestesses. whispered a few words, the young concubine smiled, turned around and walked away, and between the walks, the clothes that were as thin as cicada wings and only covered the vital points could not stop the spring that came out of the pink bent jade strands. Light, see people's hearts swaying.
Ye Xiaotian teased the little guy. The little guy became happier and happier, no longer crying, just staring at Ye Xiaotian's expression with a pair of clear big eyes, and sometimes grinning silently, his two little hands still tied one by one.
Suddenly, someone said something very respectfully in Hmong, and everyone in the hall immediately knelt on one knee. Saluting reverently, Ye Xiaotian was pulled by the child's mother, reacted, and knelt on one knee with the child in his arms, and then secretly looked up.
I saw an old man in a white robe, wearing a golden crown on his head and a golden staff, slowly walking up to the throne. The old man is very old. His face was covered with age spots, and the white robe he wore was trimmed with gold, and the neckline was three red-gold lines.
The old man sat down on the throne, and immediately a graceful concubine next to him took his staff. The old man raised his eyes and glanced down the stairs, just in time to meet the peeping Ye Xiaotian's eyes, the old man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised that someone dared to look at him directly.
Ye Xiaotian saw that the old man's face was wrinkled. It's like an apple that has been sitting for a long time, it has lost too much water, only those eyes are still full of life, especially his eyebrow raising action, which even gives people a witty and interesting feeling.
The Servant Venerable stared at Ye Xiaotian and looked at it carefully, and suddenly said in Chinese: "Are you a Han or a young chief of a certain tribe?" ”
As soon as Ye Xiaotian heard that he could speak Chinese, he hurriedly followed his words and said, "Ah! Dear Servant God, I am a Han Chinese. I came here after tracking down two human captives, and as a result, your Gargamel Grand Wo Master ...... Oh, the Great Wizard of Gegwo said that I was a spy and did not allow me to leave, and asked your Venerable to raise your noble hand and let me go, I am in a hurry to save people. ”
Ge Duo was so anxious that he couldn't stop glancing at Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian ignored him, it was rare to have such a good opportunity, and seeing that this old venerable was very talkative, Ye Xiaotian of course had to seize the opportunity.
The Servant God Venerable smiled, slowly leaned back in the chair, gently stroked his white beard with one hand, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Do you also believe in the supreme Gu God?" ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "I ......"
He just wanted to say that I want to believe and only believe in Taishang Laojun, but his heart suddenly moved, and blurted out: "Respected God Venerable, I believe in it...... God Almighty! ”
When Ye Xiaotian said this, he was paying attention to the expression of the Serving God Venerable, and the Serving God Venerable was surprised: "God? Are you a disciple of Confucianism and believe in the God of Haotian? ”
Ye Xiaotian suddenly came to his senses: "It's broken!" I heard what the foreign devil said from the priest, it seems that it is for the people of our Daming Kingdom to understand, so they borrowed the name of the gods worshiped by our ancestors to call their supreme gods, and their gods are not actually called God, so there is no surprise effect at this time......"
It turns out that the word "God" was originally a title in ancient China, and Confucianism inherited the Shang and Zhou ritual systems, and also inherited the belief in this supreme deity, that is, God. The Four Books and the Five Classics and other Confucian classics all mention God, but of course, the God worshiped by Confucianism is not as specific as the supreme god that other religions believe in, in fact, what they mean by God is heaven.
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly remedied: "His Holiness has misunderstood. The god I'm talking about is officially called...... Tall! ”
The Servant Venerable was stunned and said, "High? ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "Yes, high." ”
