The Residence of the Holy Maiden is located at the highest point of this ancient city and is the residence of an ancient castle type of residence more than three stories high. Fan Wei, who walked through the square, looked up at the waterfall formed by the groundwater that slowly flowed down from the height in the distance, and really couldn't help but sigh that the ancestors of the Five Dragons who built this underground palace were really full of magical skills!

"This Five Dragons City has a history of one or two hundred years, and it was built by the ancestors to hide from the war for the Five Dragons." The Great Elder seemed to see the look of surprise in Fan Wei's eyes, and said with a smile, "No one would have known that there would be such a magnificent and glorious city under this deep canyon. ”

"Listen to Yang Li...... You are also ancient Chinese people, right? Why did your ancestors migrate to the mountains and eventually take root in these deep mountains and valleys? Did your ancestors hide in the war to escape the war? "Fan Wei is really a little curious, to be able to build such a magnificent ancient city, it must be something that only ancient capable people can do, how could these talents be reused in the past? The reason why they fled into the mountains is probably because of their last resort, right?

The Great Elder leaned on his crutches and chuckled, "Let the Holy Maiden tell you the specific old things of your own clan." Of course, if you can gain her trust. As an elder, I have no right to tell outsiders the secrets of my clan, although you are our honored guest......"

"Great Elder, what kind of woman is the Holy Maiden of your clan, can you tell me what the selection process of the Holy Maiden is?" Fan Wei was quite interested in this Five Dragons Clan, after all, he could live quietly and alone for so long, and this tribe was full of mysteries.

"Oh, I can talk to you about that." When the Great Elder heard Fan Wei say this, he couldn't help but speak, "According to the rules of this clan, there need to be two people in charge of the whole clan, male and female, and the man is the patriarch, who is in charge of the affairs of the whole clan, and it is a lifelong system and a hereditary system, that is, it is inherited by the royal family of the Five Dragons Clan. However, it is a pity that the last heir of the royal family, that is, the patriarch of the previous term, took Fengyu out of the mountain at the age of only twenty, and has not been able to come back until now. Therefore, no one has been able to replace the next patriarch until now, because there is no Fengyu in hand, and according to the clan rules, it is not allowed to re-elect the patriarch. Now Fengyu has finally appeared, and our clan has finally ushered in new hope. ”

Fan Wei nodded, he had already heard about the importance of Fengyu from Yang Li, and now seeing the Great Elder say this, he undoubtedly understood it even more. It seems that this phoenix jade is not only the treasure of the Five Dragons Clan, but also the only evidence for the election of the patriarch. Without this jade pendant, the Five Dragons Clan would not be able to have a patriarch, and for them, the importance of this was obviously self-evident.

"And the highest woman in her tribe is the saint. Unlike the patriarch, the saint cannot be in charge of the affairs of the clan, but she is in charge of the sacrifices and activities of the whole clan, as well as all the treasures of the ancestral hall. The saint is not hereditary, but must also be held by a noble woman from her own family. Once you become a saint, you will be the most beautiful and pure woman who is closest to God in your family. The selection of a saint usually begins at the age of eight, and once a candidate is made, she must begin to learn a lot of knowledge and rules of conduct necessary to be a saint. It was not until after the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony that the new saints were finally selected. The general inauguration period of the saint is between the ages of sixteen and thirty, and once a new saint is elected, the old saint must abdicate and die alone in the deep mountain cave. ”

"Why is that?" Fan Wei said, "Why does the fate of the old saint have to be so miserable? ”

"The saints died alone in the cave because of their pride and superiority. The saint can have the opportunity to choose a mate before she reaches the age of thirty, as long as she chooses the man she loves and is willing to give up all the wealth and glory of the saint, then she can follow the man down the altar and return to the life of the people. The Great Elder sighed, "It's a pity that there are too few saints of this choice, and it is really difficult to make a proud and pure saint lower her noble head, they would rather die alone than choose to give their bodies to men in exchange for an ordinary life." ”

Fan Wei understood the original reason, and suddenly his sense of mystery and anticipation for the saint he was about to meet was destroyed, and it was replaced by a deep pity. From the age of sixteen to thirty, after just fourteen years, they will fall off the altar, their beauty is not there, their body is not there, some are just the body and face after aging, and they will die alone, which is indeed very sad and pitiful. The pride of these saints is simply extremely naïve, and their outlook on life and values are too closed, which directly leads to their willingness to choose such a life.

Seeing the regret and helplessness on Fan Wei's face, the Great Elder whispered at this time, "Mr. Fan, this Holy Maiden is as beautiful as a flower, and she is the best in the world, you are wearing a phoenix jade and have the power of the patriarch, so you can naturally see her true face." If you really want to be good for her, find a way to get her to go with you and get her out of here! ”

Fan Wei paused, turned his head to look at the Great Elder who seemed to be a little depressed, and said in surprise, "Great Elder, how could you say such a thing?" Let me take the Holy Maiden out of the Five Dragons? Why? ”

The Great Elder looked up and sighed with a pained face, "That's because this Holy Maiden ...... It's my daughter! I really don't want to let her die alone when she reaches the age of thirty, and end up in a desolate end! ”

"Your daughter?" Fan Wei's eyes widened, and only after half a salary did he react, and said quite seriously, "Great Elder, since you don't want her to end up in a bleak end, then why do you want her to be a saint?" Besides, it's not good for you to persuade her to find a man to marry, don't you just don't want to be a saint. ”

"You don't understand...... The selection of saints is the duty of all the girls of the tribe, and all of them must participate. Besides, once you become a saint, you are not allowed to have private contact with other men, or even talk to them, except for official business! In the more than four years since my daughter became a saint, I have only met her five times, four times at the annual sacrifice ceremony, and the last time, just to save you! Say, "How can I persuade her?" I didn't want to, but I couldn't help it, because my daughter was so good-looking, so beautiful! She is smart and clever, she must be a candidate for the Holy Maiden......" The Great Elder said this, and said seriously, "Mr. Fan, let me ask you, you two, did my son find it near the Valley of Flowers?" Did my Great Elder personally allow you to go down to this Five Dragons City? Your life, did I ask the holy woman to agree and take out the clan treasure panacea to save it? ”
