210. Anastomosis
I think I kind of understood what Mia meant, but I was confused, why did she think about it?
Mia's answer left me speechless. She said that although the Ji clan has the source of life of the altar to reproduce, there are fewer and fewer capable people, and it is difficult to find people in the clan who can comprehend the Yin and Yang Divine Arts, not to mention both witches and Gu, even if they only learn one of them, few people have this talent, which means that the divine arts that the Yin Clan can protect will be lost.
Originally, her daughter Zoya was extremely talented in witchcraft and would likely be the next patriarch. But Zhuoya met a man of a foreign race, and since then she has fallen in love and is out of control. If it was just a simple love affair between a man and a woman, it would be nothing, but Zoya was close to the man and taught him all the witchcraft he had learned. was later discovered by Mia, and the two even eloped and absconded, Zhuoya was captured, and the man was knocked off the cliff and died with no place to be buried.
So far, Zhuoya has been locked up next to the cave of the goddess, originally wanting the god to inspire her daughter, but she didn't think that many years have passed, and she is still obsessed. Every year I asked her, she said she didn't regret it, and this mother-daughter plot continued every year. In Mia's words, what I saw just now is not too intense.
I thought about it and thought about it, but I still felt that there was something wrong, "But these don't constitute a reason for you to choose me as your successor." ”
The Han people are very xenophobic, and even the Qingwu tribe, which used to live next to each other, are on guard, in fact, the defense is justified, but I believe that after that incident, they have rejected outsiders to the extreme, how can they rashly say that they use me as an outsider? The reason given by Mia is too far-fetched, and the lack of talent in the Yin clan itself may be a factor, but it will never be the biggest factor. It would be even more outrageous to say that it was because the act of bundling her hair touched Mia's softness.
Besides, how could she be sure that I had the talent to learn their so-called magic skills?
As long as I think of Gu worms in my mind, I am afraid, I don't want to learn this kind of evil art even if I am killed.
Mia lowered her eyes and was silent for a long time, and when she raised her eyes, she spoke firmly: "Since it has come to this point, I will not hide it from you." Choose you as the will of the gods, and the gods left a reminder that the three yin and three yang will gather together, enter the secret realm, get the god stone, and the three yin women will protect our clan for eternity. Here the gods deliberately emphasized the Three Yin Women, that is, they mean you, so I deduced that after entering the secret realm of the gods, you will not die, and I have no way of knowing the specific situation. ”
Xuannu, Prophet...... The two coincide.
Once Zhuang Yu said that Ying Ning was the reincarnation of a Xuannu, I laughed it off and thought it was nonsense; Later, I had the dream of Guiguzi and learned that Ying Ning's prophet was taught by Guiguzi, which further confirmed that Zhuang Yu was a fallacy. But in this mysterious tribe of the Yan tribe, there is a statue of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, which left her prophecy for the afterlife, and this prophecy even pointed directly to me, can it be said that all this is a coincidence? I put forward a possible hypothesis: "Could it be that I am not the only one in the world with three yin women?" "But after mentioning it, even I can't say it, Yin Spirit, Yin Qi, and Yin Fire want to exist together, who else can?
Seeing Mia, she shook her head and said: "Impossible, originally the three yin are contradictions, it is impossible to exist in the world, your existence will be unique." Sanyang may still be possible, and Sanyin will definitely not have a second person. ”
Well, I had to accept the reality. It's no wonder that Mia is bound to me, I'm afraid she's been waiting for a long time today.
Thankfully, when Jian Ning escaped and missed the so-called junction of yin and yang, I could at least have a month to buffer. After that day, Mia was neither good nor bad to me, except for the lack of personal freedom, food and clothing were provided. She searched all my belongings, including the purple gold box, but the next day, she returned it to me with a gloomy face.
I was slightly surprised, but I heard her ask what was in the box, and I shook my head and told her truthfully that it was an ancestral thing, and that she had never unlocked it, so I didn't know what was inside. She looked at me suspiciously, and finally left without saying anything.
After putting the box back in my arms, I unconsciously touched my waist, where the shadow moon was originally placed, but now the divine knife is missing. I haven't seen it since I woke up, I guess Mia took it, and I'll have to figure out a way to get it back. There was something on my mind, and I found an opportunity to ask Mia about it. I learned from Jian Ningyi that Zhou Tong and Liuzi were also arrested, but I haven't seen them so far.
I didn't think Mia would be happy enough to agree to take me to meet them, and in her words, I would begin to adjust to the life of the Mai people. When I arrived at the place and saw a group of men plowing, I opened my mouth in surprise. The figures of Zhou Tong and Liuzi are very recognizable, one is burly, the other is lean and thin, and the two are working with their backs to this side. Zhuang Yu's subordinate was also in the crowd. Around the farmland, there are several ghost-faced women standing in each place to supervise.
But after listening to the quarrel between Zoya and Mia, and learning that there is water in the altar to give birth to life, I thought that there were no men in the Yan clan. Mia's voice came from the ear: "There is nothing surprising, the life of a whole people needs to be maintained, how can there be no man to work?" Moreover, the water of life cannot guarantee that every child will be a daughter, and a boy will always be born. All men enter the valley and are responsible for the farming and livelihood of the whole tribe. ”
It can be seen that the Yan tribe is a matrilineal tribe, and the status of men is far less lofty than that of women. It's just that I don't know that there can be a normal marriage and love life between men and women in the clan. Mia seemed to hear what I was thinking, and said lightly: "Strictly speaking, there are rules in the clan that prohibit men and women from being together, but these years have not been so strict, after the identification and test of me and the elders, they can still have a married life, but they must live in another area." ”
"In other words, the valley is divided into three areas, one is full of women, one is full of men, and one is full of men and women?"
Mia raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there any problem?" I hurriedly waved my hand, but I sighed in my heart how big this valley is, which is equivalent to what I have seen so far, and I have only seen two-thirds of the Yan tribe.
It was Zhou Tong who found me first, he was surprised and pushed the six sons beside him, the six sons turned around and looked at me clearly, and they were shocked, I couldn't help but move forward, but Mia grabbed her hand and frowned in disagreement: "It's almost back." I had no choice but to pause, judging from the appearance of the two of them, they should not have suffered any injuries, but they were not free from me.
Seeing Zhou Tong move his mouth, I read the meaning of those three words: What about Brother Yao? My eyes darkened, this question had already been asked countless times in my heart, and after I calmed down, I used Shadow Moon to sense it many times, and I was basically sure that he must not be dead, otherwise with Shadow Moon's spirituality, it would definitely be able to convey my sorrow, which was a little relieved. But many days have passed, and he has been silent, where did the giant bat take him, was he trapped by the swarm of bats?
I know that Mia has not given up searching for the whereabouts of Zhuang Yu and Jian Ningyi, she is quiet on the surface, with her experience and scheming, she will definitely design a layout to arrest them in secret. Zhuang Yu's scheming city government does not lose, the key is that he will not leave easily in order to achieve his goal, and Jian Ningyi is a weakness, and it is easy to be attacked by Mia.
Sure enough, as I expected, after half a month, I saw Jian Ningyi again, she was tied back by five flowers, and her eyebrows were black, and she had fainted. Mia's face was ugly, she should have fought with Zhuang Yu again, and she also damaged several clansmen, and I saw that three ghost-faced women had been covered with white cloths, and their ghost masks were placed in front of her.
At night, an incineration ceremony was held, and only then did I know that one of them was an elder of the clan, who had followed Mia for many years, so the entire female family came to participate in the incineration ceremony. I stood beside Mia and silently counted around, there were still seven ghost-faced women left, which should have been ten in total. As his gaze swept over, he felt that the ghost-faced woman standing on the far left was familiar, and he couldn't help but take a second look. Instinctively, it felt like she was looking at me behind the ghostly face, too.
The next day, while still asleep, he was woken up by Mia, and when he walked out of the stone room, he found that the sky was still only dark. She led me deeper into the valley, past the fields where the men had plowed, and into the interior, and walked for nearly an hour, and it was already dawn. I also saw a few houses in the middle of nowhere, and Mia knocked on one of the doors, and it was a middle-aged woman who came to open the door.
When she saw that it was Mia, she was very frightened, and called the patriarch and invited us into the house. After listening for a while, I understood the purpose of Mia's trip, which was to report the funeral. It turned out that this was a co-living area for men and women, and this family was the elder's daughter and son-in-law. When the woman heard this, she wept bitterly, and after a few words of comfort, Mia told her to go and get an extra ration later. At this moment, the cry of a child and the scolding of a man came from the back room, and Mia frowned and got up to leave.
I didn't have anything to ask, so I followed her silently. A young couple came to meet them, the man was not tall, covered his head and face with green cloth, only his eyes were exposed, the woman wore a blue and white square hat, and the tassels on both sides fell down her cheeks, covering most of her face, and she was wearing a long green cloth skirt, which looked a little graceful. After the two approached, they both bent down to salute Mia, Mia nodded, and asked, "Which family are you daughter or daughter-in-law?" The woman paused and replied, "It's from the Ima family." ”
Mia didn't say much, just told the two of them to live a good life, and passed them. I walked briskly up, and as I crossed shoulders with the young woman, I unconsciously glanced sideways at her face under the tassels, and couldn't help but secretly admire: her eyebrows were like green feathers, her skin was like snow, and her half-drooping eyelashes were long, and she was a fair beauty.
I didn't feel at ease about this, but in the middle of the night, I suddenly got up from the stone bed, covered in cold sweat. I was struck by the image that floated in my head, the beautiful woman and the face of the young couple I met during the day......
