Chapter 249: Drinking? I'm not targeting anyone
The altars of the Miao people are all made of huge stones, majestic and tall with a hint of ruggedness and clumsiness. The old man hurriedly walked up the mountain road, and when he came to the altar, he saw that in front of the altar was a platform, which was paved with large rectangular stone strips, which was quite flat. Behind the platform is where the altar is located.
Two huge stone pillars, erected high in front of the altar, at a glance, I am afraid that it is not ten zhang high, and this stone pillar can not see a trace of cracks around the body, it is actually a complete whole boulder carved out, I really don't know where the ancestors of the Miao people can find such huge stones, and they can actually carry them and erect them in front of the altar.
Walking past these two huge stone pillars is the altar made of stones. The Miao altar in Qilitong has always been quite famous in the southern border. Half of it is built with huge stones, and the other half is dug directly into the hard stone wall of the mountain.
The old man walked in, and suddenly the light around him dimmed. The temperature around it also seems to be much cooler than outside.
The old man obviously had a great identity, and he was very familiar with this sacred place in the hearts of Miao people, and he didn't see any hesitation, so he walked directly to the depths of the altar, and a Miao wizard occasionally appeared on the road, and the two sides also greeted each other, but the old man had something in his heart, and most of them were casually perfunctory and continued to move forward.
If Li Qingyun and Xiaobai saw it, they would probably be able to guess the identity of this old man.
In addition to the other wizards in the altar, the only one who can make people with the status of Miao wizards say hello is the patriarch of the entire Miao clan.
The old man continued to walk inward, through the wide passageway, to the deepest part of the altar, which was also the largest room in this altar.
On the top of the stone gate, there are decorations made of the bones of Mengbeasts, and on the surrounding stone walls, bright red blood is smeared everywhere, which symbolizes the piety of sacrificing ancestors.
From the darkness, everything here is terrifying.
However, for the Miao people, this is the most sacred place, and the old man also had a solemn expression on his face, tidied up the clothes on his body, slowed down, and walked in slowly.
In the huge stone chamber, it was empty, only the innermost part, a flame burned, which stood out in the gloom.
In front of the flames, there is a strange stone statue carved from a whole boulder, with a dog-shaped head, but the body is full, the feet have sharp claws, and there are two pairs of wings on the back, it is really a very strange statue, it seems that it is the god that the Miao people believe in.
In the huge stone room, there was only one person, who looked very old and slumped from the back, sitting silently in front of the flames, as if he was meditating, and as if he was silent.
This strange place, somehow, gives people a strange feeling of keeping time and stagnating.
Here, it is as if everything is quiet and silent.
The flames were blazing, illuminating the figure of the person in front of the flames.
The old man walked up slowly, stopped a foot behind the man, and said in a low and respectful voice, "Great Wizard." ”
The figure sitting in front of the flames moved, and an old voice came: "Tu Ma Gu, why are you back again?" Didn't I tell you the will of the dog god just now? Is there anything else you are confused about? ”
This old man, whom he called Tu Ma Gu, is the patriarch of the Miao tribe on the border of southern Xinjiang today, and he only heard him say respectfully: "Great wizard, I fully know the meaning of the dog god, and I will definitely do what the dog god will." ”
The Great Wizard still didn't look back, just listened to him, "Oh, that's good. But what is it that made you turn back, I sense that you are a little uneasy in your heart. ”
The Tuma Bone Patriarch frowned slightly, as if he was hesitating to explain what words to say, and after a while, he still decided to say directly: "Great Wizard, there are two strange Middle-earth people from below Qilitong, and they hope to be able to meet the Great Wizard. ”
The body of the great wizard in front of the flames moved, and the head of the stone statue of the dog god in front of the flames, which had been facing the flames, also turned slightly, but only his completely white sparse hair could be seen vaguely.
"Who is it? I haven't stepped out of this altar for nearly a hundred years, how can anyone from Middle-earth come to me? ”
Tu Ma Gu took a deep breath and said, "That man claims to be an elder of the Qingyun Sect, the three major sects of Middle Earth, and they came here to inquire about the matter of the beast god. ”
The Great Wizard's body shook and said in disbelief: "What did you say he came to ask?" ”
Tu Ma Gu was also a little incredulous, and said: "The beast god he said, what I want to say should be the beast demon, and the stakes are very high, so I will report it as soon as possible." ”
"Invincible Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestors"
The Great Wizard fell silent, and after a moment, a sigh came out of his mouth, "You can know the beast... Demon, his identity should be true, you go and invite them to come up. ”
Tu Ma Gu said: "Yes." ”
......
At the foot of the mountain, the crowd gradually dispersed, and calm returned to the surroundings.
The old man's 'Tu Ma Gu' hasn't come back yet, and Li Qingyun and Xiaobai are not in a hurry, waiting quietly in place.
The Miao people have a rough and simple personality, although they still don't understand what the identities of Li Qingyun and the two are, but thinking of the politeness of the patriarch, and letting the two of them wait here for so long, these Miao people are also a little embarrassed.
After a while, the tall little leader just now walked up and said to Li Qingyun in a rough voice: "Hu Lulu, quack!" ”
Li Qingyun was stunned and didn't understand what it meant, but he saw that the Miao warrior untied a large bag sewn from animal skin from his waist and threw it over to him.
Li Qingyun stretched out his hand to catch it, and when he sank his hand, he saw that there was a wooden cork at the mouth of the bag, and then he saw that the Miao warrior reached out to his mouth and made a gesture of drinking.
Li Qingyun understood immediately, pulled out the cork and smelled it, and sure enough, the wine smelled strong, it was a bag of spirits.
"The Miao people are the most hospitable, if we are not here at the altar, we can enjoy good hospitality if we go to the family casually." At this time, Xiaobai said on the side, it's over, she beckoned to the guard, and then motioned for her to ask for a bag of wine.
The little leader was stunned for a moment, then grinned happily, snatched a bag of wine from another guard, and sent it to Xiaobai.
Looking at the leader's 'borrowing flowers to offer Buddha', his guards were furious, and snatched the wine bag from the other two, one threw it to the leader, and the other took it himself, and drank it with a grunt, and drank most of the strong wine, before he glared at the leader with a red face, and the meaning expressed was known to everyone.
The leader was not annoyed, he raised his head proudly, and the liquor was like clear water spilling, and the strands flowed into his throat, so he was not chic and heroic.
When the surrounding guards saw this, they all applauded.
When the two of them had almost drunk, everyone's eyes returned to Li Qingyun and Xiaobai, and they raised their wine bags one after another, signaling Li Qingyun to 'cheers'.
Li Qingyun smiled silently, probably understanding the character of these Miao people, and he didn't include the lake, he also raised his head and drank freely, is he not afraid, you must know that during the cultivation period of Tongtian Peak, when he was bored, he only had to drink with the water qilin.
What is the water unicorn, the top spirit beast of the water system, the resistance to the wine is absolutely BUFF blessed, just like this, the water unicorn has also been put by him a few times.
Therefore, when it comes to drinking, it's not that he underestimates these Miao people, he just wants to talk and find someone who can fight.
Pause, pause...
Li Qingyun drank quickly and smoothly, the liquor entered his mouth like clear water, and he didn't wait to swallow it, and in a moment, a large wine bag was drunk by him.
Under everyone's attention, as the last drop of the liquor fell down the sun and into Li Qingyun's mouth, everyone was shocked.
"Hiccup~~, good wine, another bag." Li Qingyun's shout interrupted everyone's stunned, looking at Li Qingyun, whose face was slightly red and his eyes were not squinting, I don't know who began to applaud, and then this applause came one after another, and it rose enthusiastically under this altar mountain.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
Although I still couldn't understand what they said, I could clearly see from their expressions that it was admiration for Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun didn't know that the Miao spirits in southern Xinjiang have always been fierce, and there has always been a saying that the strongest man in this area is the person who drinks the most.
And Miao wine is extremely strong, such a big bag of spirits, now looking at the entire Miao people, no man can drink it in one go, most of them are already drunk by three-quarters of the way, Li Qingyun actually drank it all in one gulp, not to mention those Miao Jiang soldiers, even the surrounding onlookers cheered loudly.
And there are smart people, as soon as they see this posture, I am afraid that it will not be over, and they hurried home with their eyes turned.
