147.Chapter 147
When I was dressed, two girls came in from outside the door, pressed me to the chair without saying anything, and began to help me dress. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a set of Miao men's clothing, with a black turban wrapped around his head, a black coat on his body, and a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet.
Then, Zuo Wanli reappeared, took me out, twisted down, and came to a high platform.
This high platform is made of wood, and it is erected in the middle of the stockade, and in front of the big tree, under the stage, almost the entire men, women, and children in the stockade have gathered.
It was starting to get dark, and a bonfire had been set up outside the platform.
Zuo Chunyu was sitting on a chair by the village, and next to her, sat Wang Meili.
Zuo Wanli asked me to wait, and she went up to the high platform and whispered a few words to Zuo Chunyu.
Then, Zuo Chunyu stood up and clapped his hands.
When she clapped her hands, the venue, which was still a little noisy and gathered thousands of people, actually fell silent.
For a moment, the audience was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
This woman, in the stockade, has such a high prestige!
"Ladies and gentlemen, today, the inheritor of my clan, my daughter Zuo Shi, will marry her husband, a young man from the Dai family in the Snow Mountain, Hua Xiaosao, and tie the knot!"
As soon as she said this, the audience was thunderous and cheered!
After everyone exhaled for a while, Zuo Chunyu nodded to Zuo Wanli, and Zuo Wanli immediately walked on stage and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, hold a ceremony!"
Subsequently, I was sent to the stage by the two Miao girls behind me.
Similarly, a door opened on the opposite side, and Zuo Shi, who was dressed in a black robe and masked in a black veil, also walked out and walked in front of me.
The patterns on her clothes match my clothes, and they look like pairs of "couples' outfits".
We looked at each other, and at this moment, I felt like I was in a dream!
Nima, I'm a living corpse, and I'm actually married!
And there was a wedding!
Maybe it's just a joke, but I don't think so, and if I could, I thought I should give the girl in front of me real happiness.
I thought about it, looked at the star-bright eyes of the girl in front of me, and smiled at her.
I couldn't see the girl's expression under the black veil, but I believe she was smiling.
Next, there are all kinds of tedious rituals.
First worshiped heaven and earth, worshiped the Gumen Divine Tree, and the guardians of the Gumen - that is, the two big snakes, Da Qing and Erqing, and the second elder - Wang Meili temporarily served as the elder of our family, and then worshiped the people of the clan, and finally worshipped each other.
After all parties finished worshipping, Zuo Wanli sent another plate and handed it to Zuo Shi.
Zuo Shi asked me to roll up my sleeves and show my skin.
Then, she took out a small silver knife from the plate, a small silver bowl, walked up to me, and slashed my wrist with the silver knife, and the blood flowed and dripped into the silver bowl.
"Does it hurt?" she asked softly.
I shook my head.
"Husband and wife, there should be hardships together. As she spoke, she slashed her wrist with a silver knife, and blood dripped down.
Our blood soon gathered into that silver bowl, which filled the bowl.
It was only at this time that an old woman from Miao Village came up from the stage, carrying a wooden cane, in front of the bowl.
She stretched out her hand, blew softly, and in the palm of her hand, a colorful butterfly flew out and landed on the edge of the silver bowl.
The butterfly began to suck the blood from the bowl.
The more you suck, the bigger the butterfly grows, and soon it becomes a palm-sized one, and the whole body has changed from colorful colors to blood red, and the whole butterfly lies in the bowl and does not move.
As this butterfly gradually took shape, I suddenly heard all kinds of "snort" sounds in my ears, like a hundred insects flying.
This voice sounded in all directions, not only on the branches of the "Divine Tree", but even on Zuo Chunyu and Zuo Wanli's bodies!
After what happened last night, I probably understood: this should be the sound of Gu worms wriggling!
Zuo Shi flicked her fingers, and in her palm, a red spider suddenly crawled out, jumped up, and fell directly onto the silver bowl!
As soon as the red spider appeared, it was as if Zuo Chunyu was clapping his hands just now, and in an instant, all the insects chirping and shaking their wings stopped one after another!
It's as if this red spider is their king!
The red spider pounced on the butterfly that had become blood-red, only to see the butterfly's wings flying, and soon, the butterfly was swallowed by the spider, and at the same time, the old woman also spit out a mouthful of blood, and her face instantly became extremely pale.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and bowed back.
After devouring the butterfly, the spider jumped back on Zuo Shi's body and disappeared.
And in that silver bowl, there was only a drop of blood left.
A drop of dark red blood.
Zuo Shi reached out and picked up a slender silver needle from the plate, dipped it in the blood, and stabbed it at the back of my right hand.
I just felt a tingling sensation on the back of my hand, and soon a lifelike tattoo of a dark red spider had taken shape.
"This is a ritual for Gu Men to get married," Zuo Chunyu stood up at this time, came to my side, and explained to me: "The husband and wife use blood as a medium to raise the 'Lianli Butterfly', and then one of the Natal Gu devours the Lianli Butterfly, leaving the 'Same Destiny Blood' and painting the Same Destiny Gu pattern." In this way, you can raise your own natal Gu without any foundation in Gu art. ”
I nodded, finally understanding what the ritual was all about.
The dark red tattoo spider pattern on the back of my right hand is vivid and clearly visible, and it is combined with the cyan gluttonous pattern on the back of my left hand, making me look like a "noble killer Matt".
"Alright, the hour has come, let's send it to the cave. Zuo Chunyu looked at the sky, waved his hand, and said to Zuo Wanli.
Bridal chamber?
So fast?
I'm a little hesitant now, I don't know how to explain to Zuo Shi when I get out of the cave room, saying that we can't do shameful things, after all, I am a living corpse, not a human being.
In case of...... What can I do if I hurt her?
I'm still worried, but Zuo Wanli has reached out and pushed me and Zuo Shi away.
Then the campfire carnival of the villagers, there was nothing to do with the two of us.
Zuo Wanli walked in front, carrying her small basket, Zuo Shi and I followed, I don't know when, my hand has been grabbed by Zuo Shi.
Her hands are so warm.
It didn't take long for us to go around the houses, around the wooden village, and follow a path that led in one direction to the mountain behind the village.
Wait a minute!
Didn't you say that you want a cave house?
What are you going to do in the mountains?
Could it be that the custom of Miao Village, when relatives and husbands and wives are in the cave house, is to ...... In the wilderness?
I feel like I'm all over the place: this is ...... Not so good.
