202. Offerings

Since then, there has been a legend of an immortal body, and Baimiao Village has a protector hidden in the shadows.

Since then, no one in the residents of Bai Miao Village has questioned the existence of God, with this belief, Bai Miao has recuperated in this generation, and people have not approached the forbidden land, and this magical story has been handed down.

The high priest in the stockade was the only clergyman who could communicate with the god, and it was in this way that there was an unwritten rule in the stockade, that is, every fifty years, a Gu girl should be offered to the god.

The so-called offering is not a sacrifice in the traditional sense. Just according to the instructions of the gods, select a suitable woman, enter the forbidden place, and guard the secret room.

Until she died, the chosen Gu girl could never come out again.

At first, it was a supreme honor, but later on, it evolved into a custom.

In fact, it now seems that this kind of behavior is extremely bloody, and people are increasingly forgetting this belief. I just know that every fifty years, a girl will be selected and sent to the unknown forbidden land, and there will be no chance to come out again.

In my opinion, this is no different from directly killing a woman.

Could it be that the unjust soul you saw was a Gu girl who was enshrined? ”

When Elder Ula finished talking to us about this, he looked at us very cautiously: "Actually, if I don't tell you this, I think that it will be difficult for you to accept it. ”

What he said was true, it did sound appalling, although the background of the matter was such a magical and magnificent story, it still couldn't hide its bloody nature.

"You said that only the elders and high priests could enter that forbidden place, so have you ever seen that so-called god?"

Qi Tianyang heard this story, just twisted his eyebrows, and asked directly, I don't know if these are extremely ridiculous statements in his opinion, anyway, I really can't agree.

"No, no one has ever seen him for what he really is. Even the high priest is the same. Elder Ulla then replied, affirmatively, "Perhaps, you would think that this was all a joke, and I thought so at first, and I, like most people, felt that this way of praying for peace was utterly stupid.

Until one time, I actually heard the voice from the forbidden place, an old and empty voice, not at all like the voice of this world.

I finally understood why the elders and high priests of the ages had been able to practice this cruel custom in complete disregard of the grievances of the inhabitants.

Because, you can't resist that majestic voice, that voice that will make you feel convinced from the bottom of your heart. ”

When Elder Ulla mentioned this, he had a look of horror, admiration, and incredulity. To make this respected Great Elder look like this, the other party is really unimaginably powerful.

I didn't expect that this kind of thing would exist in this place.

"In my opinion, you are more afraid than respectful of this so-called god." Qi Tianyang said lightly, and Ulla's appearance at this time is indeed like this.

After listening to Qi Tianyang's words, Elder Ula didn't show much embarrassment, but just smiled faintly: "Maybe!" If we say that the Lord is a believer and a inheritance for us; Then this great god is the existence of our entire village, both good and evil, the guardian god.

He can accomplish us, but he can also destroy us in an instant. Therefore, for this kind of existence, our fear is still greater than our admiration. ”

When Ulla said this question, he didn't forget to show his respect for Qi Tianyang, the lord, and it was also a situation to be so good at being a man and doing things.

Qi Tianyang smiled and said meaningfully: "However, it seems that this guardian saint doesn't have a temper very much!" ”

What he was referring to was the repeated provocations of the Black Miao people, but he didn't see how much the Black Miao people stopped because of their patron saints. Thinking about the tragic death of the previous family makes people shudder.

Elder Ula looked a little embarrassed, and said, "The Black Miao people will indeed have some scruples about the gods in the forbidden land, otherwise, the jealous and hateful Black Miao people would have been eager to destroy us."

It's just that the power of the gods is also limited. Perhaps, he is a little dissatisfied with us, after all, now people have gradually forgotten his existence, and they are also very disgusted with the worship of Gu girls, and some people have even proposed to depose this custom many times. ”

"Therefore, Elder Ula is also worried about the safety of Bai Miao Village in the future, and I am your best choice!" Qi Tianyang said directly, "Elder don't worry too much, we are all each other now, the best choice, isn't it?" ”

Qi Tianyang is obviously giving people a date to eat after slapping others.

Elder Ula's face was a little strange, but he didn't say anything.

"But listening to what the Great Elder said, it seems to mean something. Could it be that someone has offended the gods in the forbidden land? Qi Tianyang grasped the details in Ula's words and then asked.

"It's no wonder that the gods are gradually ceasing to protect us too much, it all stems from our disrespect for him.

A hundred years ago, just the day before we were ready to worship the Gu girl, that girl disappeared, no one knows where she went, she must have run away!

This is also our mistake, so there is less worship to the gods. He is understandably angry with us. ”

I was surprised in my heart, this is okay, this old man, the heart is too big. It's excusable, and it's really tolerant.

It's really pedantic, what kind of god has to take human lives to worship, if you want to say that those Gu girls survive well in it until they die, I don't believe it. I pursed my lips and complained to myself, I suddenly lost my affection for this legendary patron saint.

"What's the matter, it's really excessive, what god still uses a woman to worship!" I unconsciously spoke my heart, and my tone was extremely disdainful.

After I finished speaking, I suddenly reacted, and realized that I had lost my words and was disrespectful to other people's patron saints, which was going to be attacked by the whole people!

I secretly looked at Elder Ula, and sure enough, his face was a little unbearable, I laughed dryly, and then I said again: "I mean, the Gu girl is gone, you can choose another one!" Anyway, your gods are big-hearted and won't mind if this goes wrong! Hehe! ”

At this time, Elder Ula's face softened slightly, and he said, "Hey, if it were that simple, it would be fine. You don't know, the choice of Gu girls is not so simple. ”

Seeing that Elder Ula had resumed the topic again, I secretly wiped the cold sweat from the corner of my forehead, and thought to myself, "Fortunately, it is a circle, and the disaster comes from the mouth, this kind of traditional people cannot blaspheme their beliefs." ”

"The choice of Gu girls is exquisite, and it also depends on a kind of chance, and within fifty years, there can almost only be one suitable one.

The so-called Gu girl is not a woman who has raised Gu since childhood, but another kind of woman who is selected by Gu worms.

A hundred years ago, that Gu girl was still Wu Lun's ancestor. The Wu family has always been a very prosperous family in the village, and back then, the only Gu girl of the Wu family was selected from the Wu family, and it was noisy for a while. ”

Wu family, Wu Lun's ancestors? This series is not a coincidence, could it be that this escaped Gu girl is Granny Wu?

I remember that she said that her real name was Wu, and she was heard as Wu, and she never corrected it, so after that, she naturally became Granny Wu.

In this way, everything fits together and everything has an explanation.

So, what is the real situation of the forbidden place she is talking about? I can't tell the truth from the fake, if it's really like the scene that Granny Wu said, then everything we are experiencing now has almost been turned upside down.

If according to Elder Ula's words, Granny Wu didn't tell us the truth, maybe it was just for us to help him and find an introduction.

I'm still leaning toward Elder Ulla, after all, there's some truth to what he's saying. Moreover, we are now standing on the united front.

Or maybe neither of us was telling us the truth.

"Alright, Elder Ula, we won't delay your time." Qi Tianyang said to Elder Wula, it was very unexpected to me, didn't he want to continue to ask?

"Okay, I won't bother the two of you here, I'll go and get busy with the affairs of the Dou Gu Conference." It was a little funny that Elder Ulla was about to leave as if he had been granted amnesty.

Alas, his image has taken a big drop in my heart. However, this is approachable.

"What do you think?" When Elder Ula walked out of the courtyard, Qi Tianyang turned to me and asked.

"What do you think?" I asked.

"That's what he just said!" Qi Tianyang looked at the door, the direction of Ula's departure, thoughtfully.

"You mean that Granny Wu, I'm also a little confused, which one is true? However, I don't think this Elder Ula is telling a lie again. ”

I don't know what to say, but by feeling, in my heart, I'm still very biased towards Ulla's side.
