Chapter 901: Shengmiao Songming Village
"Oh! I see, no wonder you speak Chinese so well!"
Zhou You was stunned, and then asked her curiously: "But I heard that the tribute master of Miao Jiang is not only inherited by Miao people? Even if it is of Han Chinese descent, how can it become a tribute master?"
"Hehe... In fact, after my ancestors fled to Miaojiang, they were taken by the strongest tribute master in the local Miao Jiang and let her inherit the mantle of tribute!" Duo Yang said with a smile.
"Huh, how did your ancestors fall in love with the Great Wizard of Miao Jiang?" Zhou You continued to ask her.
"You may also know that those concubines in the ancient royal harem, in order to compete for favor and superiority, were suspicious of each other, and often quarreled, and many people also practiced evil arts such as Gu and head lowering in private to harm people, so they were very resentful.
And my ancestor is a woman in the deep boudoir of the palace, and she is very favored by the emperor, naturally she can't avoid the jealousy and suspicion of other concubines, after escaping from the harem, she feels free, because she has lived in the harem for many years, and her blood, has a very high talent for the magic of spirit witchcraft, naturally became the best successor to the great wizard, one is because the practice of the Miao family's secret art must have a high talent, and the other is according to the rules, after she learns the secret art, it is equivalent to the transformation from the Han to the Miao people, so that she can better protect the local people!" Doyang explained.
"Oh! It seems that this great tribute master of the ancient Miao Territory is quite discerning!" Zhou You said with emotion.
"Hehe... Due to the particularity of the cultivation conditions, the practice of black witchcraft must be female, even if it is a man, it is only a little superficial, and moreover, the woman who practices the secret witchcraft of the Miao family must be very smart, and the talent of the spirit witch must also be very high, so that she is qualified to inherit this vast and profound secret art! Therefore, in our village, there is only one successor to each generation of great tribute masters! And this generation is me..."Duo Yang said again.
"Oh! In this way, you should be the great tribute master of this seedling!" Zhou You said in surprise.
"Uh... Maybe that's what I was destined to do!"
Duo Yang smiled and said, but in her laughter, there was a bit of helplessness and unwillingness...
Zhou You also felt helpless for Duoyang, because a young girl like her was innocent and spoiled, or spent a good time on the university campus, but she became a great tribute master who was awe-inspiring and jealous, I have to say, this is indeed a big regret in life...
However, Zhou You can also see that Duoyang has obviously accepted his fate, so he doesn't talk to her about this topic, but talks to her about the outside world.
Duoyang is full of curiosity about the outside world, so he keeps asking about all kinds of news from the outside world...
Chatting all the way, time also passed, along the river, enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides, the speed of the Wupeng boat became a lot faster, after several twists and turns, converted several rivers, at about noon, finally sailed into the Miao Village in the depths of the mountain!
This is a large village where seedlings gather, called "Songming Village", according to Duoyang, the population of this village is more than 2,000 people, almost no less than the population of Wuluo Town.
The village is small, with only one pier leading to the outside world, and there is only one street on the pier, but there is a very tall wall made of red sandstone.
As soon as I entered the village, the sky began to drizzle, the mist obscured the green hills around the village, the river at the foot of the city wall was dark green, the water plants and fish at the bottom of the river were clearly distinguishable, and the river bank was stilted buildings.
These stilted buildings are a popular traditional architectural form in the Miao people's houses, and the Tujia, Miao, Han and other ethnic groups have the custom of building stilted buildings, and the most common ones are Miao cottages.
These stilted buildings are built in the air, high above the ground, ventilated to the sun, fresh air, dry and livable.
Among them, the layout of the house, usually one household and one building, or sheltered from the wind and the sun, or near the valley, or by the mountainside, with the mountain in place, built according to the place, as far as the eye can see, the cottage hanging tower, scattered, row upon row, do not have interest.
After sailing into the dock in the village, Duoyang recited a few words of mantra again, and with a wave of his hands, the "boat lice" that drove the Wupeng boat swirled on the river surface and quickly disappeared!
After completing this procedure, Duo Yang summoned to the dock in Miao language, her voice was very crisp and pleasant, and after a while, a group of Miao people wearing blue and blue cotton clothes appeared, this group of men and women, at least dozens of people!
As soon as this group of people saw Duo Yang at the bow of the boat, they first cheered, but when they saw Zhou Ao and Luo Zhongkun who were following her, they were collectively stunned, and their faces showed a vigilant look.
You must know that the "Songming Village" where it is now is a mountain village where Shengmiao lives, and Shengmiao is notoriously fierce and unruly, Zhou You and Luo Zhongkun are wearing Han costumes, and they are unfamiliar faces, as soon as they come here, they are looked at by a group of Miao people, and they can't help but feel a little nervous.
Seeing this, Duoyang naturally knew that the clansmen were very repulsive to outsiders, so she walked ashore and explained to the villagers in Miao language.
After Lan Duoyang's explanation, the Miao people in the village gradually eased their eyes when they looked at Zhou You and Luo Zhongkun, but they were still a little vigilant...
At this time, Duo Yang stepped forward and said to Zhou You and Luo Zhongkun in a slightly apologetic tone: "Uh... I'm sorry, our "Songming Village", in the past few hundred years, very few outsiders have come in, especially the Han people, who are the most rejected by the clansmen, but I have explained to them, and it should be okay now... You're ready to disembark!"
"Oh! Okay..."
Zhou You and Luo Zhongkun answered, breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked down from the boat.
As soon as she walked to the dock, Duo Yang beckoned the group of Miao people on the shore, boarded the boat with her, and unloaded the goods on the boat, while Zhou You and Luo Zhongkun stood on the dock, looking curiously at the mysterious village of "Songming Village".
At this moment, on the street in front, there was a rough man's shouting, which was mixed with a few words of Miao language that spoke very quickly, revealing a bit of fierce atmosphere!
Because this male voice that suddenly appeared was speaking in Miao language, Zhou You didn't understand what it meant, but he didn't feel anything, but Luo Zhongkun, who understood Miao next to him, changed his face after hearing the content clearly...
And the Miao people, who were originally carrying the goods, also stopped moving, and they looked at the street in front of them, with a strange and nervous look on their faces.
