In the innermost part of this ancient temple, there are two strange black stone statues, saying that it is strange because of the appearance of the stone statues: huge eyes, towering noses, and a big mouth that runs through almost the entire face, but this face is too familiar to me, it is the Gu God I have seen many times before!

The title of Gu God, I still heard Chen Laosan talk about it, when it was in the cave in the western suburbs of Xiaohe Village.

"Grandma - this is the supreme god of our Miao people, right? How...... How could it be in this ancient temple! ”

I asked my grandmother in a panic.

It was mainly a surprise to see such a sculpture in such a place.

Ancient temples, ancient temples - as the name suggests, it should be enshrined in the statues of the Bodhisattvas Guanyin and other gods of the Buddhist family, how can there be two "alien stone statues"!

Grandma took a look, her face was always calm, maybe she knew what kind of two statues they were since she was a child, and she didn't think it was strange.

"In summary, this stone statue is only the god of "Nanmiao", and we belong to "Beimiao" and do not believe in it. ”

Grandma said slowly.

I wondered even more, what? Is this Miao still divided into southern Miao and northern Miao?

Xiaobi saw my doubts, first looked at my grandmother with a solicitative eye, and after seeming to get acquiescence, she turned to me and explained: "Nanmiao and Beimiao were just called a long, long time ago, and it is said that the Miao family at that time was not unified, mainly because of the ......differences in beliefs and customs."

It turns out that the Miao people, whom our Han people call them, are divided into "north and south" within the Miao people.

Because of the difference in beliefs, gradually the part of the people who believe in the "Miao God" moved to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, grandma and their people have always lived in Ningxia, Gansu, Shaanxi, over time, the original root of the people, later divided into two factions.

It is said that the Miao people who set foot on this land for the first time were also puzzled, how could there be an ancient temple dedicated to the "Gu God" in such an isolated valley! Although they do not believe in the "Gu God", they are not very repulsive, so in the past few hundred years, the ancient temple has been preserved.

I walked behind the statue, and when I looked at it, I saw a strange symbol carved on the back of the statue, which was the kind of writing that had appeared many times before.

"Grandma, there's text on it!"

I shouted.

After shouting, I looked back, and grandma, Xiaoqing, and Xiaobi did not follow, and they were still standing at a distance of five or six meters from the stone statue.

"You ...... Why don't you come closer? I asked, confused.

Grandma shook her head slightly, and replied, "We Beimiao have clan rules!" That is the holy relic that is not allowed to go near Nan Miao......"

When I walked out of the ancient temple, the clues in my heart turned like a marquee, and it seemed that many originally unrelated things were about to be connected, but there seemed to be something in between.

Shandong and Ningxia, both along the Yellow River, have found such strange stone statues, and have also found the same ancient and mysterious text symbols, which is enough to show that there is a close relationship between the two places.

It's a pity that the antique Li and Uncle Shi have both "returned" to the Yellow River, otherwise they would have been able to decipher the text on it.

When my grandmother heard me say that this kind of stone statue had also been found in Shandong, her face suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"There's also a 'Gu God' stone statue there? How is this possible......"

Grandma doesn't seem to understand.

I still seemed to continue to ask what was going on, but was stopped by my grandmother's wave of her hand.

"Xiao Zhen! There are so many things I can't tell you about for the time being! So be it! After these three days, I'll tell you everything I know, maybe...... Maybe it will help you a lot. ”

Well? I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why wait three days?" ”

Grandma smiled and said: "This month is the autumn Tibetan month of our Miao people, this is a harvest month, it is not appropriate to delve into other things." ”

Autumn Tibetan Moon? Didn't they all say that the autumn harvest is hidden in winter, and now it is really mid-autumn, what can be hidden!

Xiaobi seemed to understand my mind very well, and quickly explained: "In this month, we have to collect the herbs needed for a year, otherwise the effect will not be good after the expiration date." ”

It turns out that the so-called "zang" refers to a kind of herb that cultivates Gu worms.

At noon, almost the entire Jade Girl Village gathered in the hall, and before eating, a simple prayer ceremony was held. I saw Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan, who seemed to be enjoying their life here, looking at me with a smile on their faces. When Yu Lina saw me, she almost cried and leaned over in convulsions.

"Xiao Zhen, why didn't you go to me?"

Her voice was softer than before.

"I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time, and we've been chatting all morning! No, we haven't talked enough about it......"

Before I finished speaking, I felt a pain in my thigh, and it turned out that Yu Lina secretly pinched me with her fingers.

But at this moment, Yu Lina instantly became the public enemy of dozens of girls in the entire Jade Girl Village, maybe she didn't know! As soon as I entered, dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at me in the room, and her little movements, which she thought were hidden, were all seen.

Xiaobi rushed directly and scolded angrily: "What do you want to do? Dare to be so unreasonable to our Miao master, aren't you afraid of our Gu worms? ”

I was busy playing the round and laughed, "She's my friend, this is ...... It's a habit for us locals to say hello......"

When they heard me say this, they were skeptical, but they were not allowed to say anything.

After dinner, my grandmother held my hand and said, "Xiao Zhen! You have to remember that you are the lord of this Miao village, in addition to fulfilling the duty of protecting the village, you must also have your own majesty, everyone here is your subjects, so to speak, they have to do whatever you want them to do! ”

When I heard my grandmother say this, I glanced at Xiaoqing and Xiaobi, who were also looking at me, with the meaning of "let's do whatever we want" in their eyes.

After a pause, Grandma continued: "You let Xiaoqing and Xiaobi lead you to rest first!" In the afternoon, you have to bathe and change clothes, and you will preside over the closing ceremony of the autumn Tibetan month! ”

After saying that, she waved her hand and walked out slowly.

Yu Lina wanted to follow me, but was stopped by two older women.

I turned to them and shouted, "Let's take it as if it's a holiday!" Go and get some rest......"

Before I finished speaking, I saw Yu Lina's apricot eyes and seemed to have a big complaint.

Xiaoqing Xiaobi, and two girls who had a night of "fish and water" with me surrounded me and walked into the red house, saw the very large red bed, and saw the red-themed costumes in the room, and a warm feeling instantly surfaced.

Right here, on this bed, I completed the transformation from a boy to a man, and it was Xiaoqing and Xiaobi who accompanied me for the first time, what a beautiful night it was, the three of them were almost crazy!

"Master Miao, let's serve you to sleep for a while, and then help you change your clothes!"

Xiaoqing said softly.

Hearing this, I felt awkward, what age was it, and it was still "long" and "short", so I pretended to be angry and said, "Didn't you say it before!" Just call me Xiaozhen in private, otherwise I'll be angry! ”

The four of them glanced at each other, and Xiaobi was the first to shout timidly: "Xiao Zhen, let's sleep first!" ”
