Chapter 185: The Celestial Gods Descend
More than 200 large ships, as soon as they approached the harbor of the island, attracted the attention of the natives who were making sacrifices.
They happened to coincide with a major festival of worship for the island's natives, and the natives thought that their prayers had been answered, that the gods had really come.
Especially when I saw that this group of people were all dressed in satin clothes, the sea ships were tall and numerous, and the bright and dangling broadswords carried by those sailor soldiers. All of them show that these gods who have descended are extraordinary.
A group of natives surrounded them, gossiping and not knowing what kind of local dialect they spoke, anyway, Heiwa dared to pack tickets, not any language he had heard before.
The chieftain of the other party made a lot of gestures of invitation, and he could accurately see who was the leader of this group.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand the language, the gesture language is all over the world.
The two leaders, Zhong Qinbo and Gao Huaiyu, were arranged by the chief to sit above the throne, and the chief and priest put on colorful feather cloaks and feather crowns for the two.
"Uncle, we won't be treated as sacrifices, these guys sing and dance, but I heard that there are cannibals, who specialize in eating human flesh!"
"General Gao, have you ever seen such a high-level reception? Rest assured, their teeth are not hard enough to eat our meat, what's the matter? Eggy? If you're afraid, just say it! ”
At such a solemn and serious moment, the two did not forget to quarrel, and they really didn't take these natives with stone tools and sticks in their eyes.
It can be seen that the capes, capes and tiaras made of red and yellow feathers by the natives should be their most generous gifts.
Such a rare thing, Gao Huaiyu's subordinates, Yan Fuzi, and Yuan Wenjie watched it with relish.
What makes it most difficult for Huang Shangshu, an old man, to adapt is that there are few people wearing clothes here except for the chiefs and priests, and the old and young are all naked, and their eyes don't know where to look.
Etiquette is still exchanged, is the style of Daxia, since they have received heavy gifts from others, Zhong Qinbo and others are not stingy.
Don't you have no clothes to wear? The silk soaked in water by the shipwharts can be wasted, and in the court embroidery that represents the top craftsmanship of Great Xia, Heiwa picked out a pair of embroidery of Sakyamuni and gave it to the chief.
I don't understand why Zhong Qinbo, who is so popular with the natives, is crooked!
This embroidered statue is about two meters high and one meter eight wide, and Shakyamuni sits on a double-layered girdle lotus seat, with snail hair on his headdress and a high meat bun on the top. The face is square, the demeanor is solemn, and the shoulders are lobes. Dressed in a robe with the right shoulder and a skirt underneath, the clothes are realistic and natural. The left hand is placed under the umbilicus, and the right hand is touched to the ground.
Not only is the color scheme close to the human body itself, but the demeanor is as if it is a living person, which is lifelike.
The chief took the embroidery with both hands, and the priest danced excitedly, and they talked loudly:
"This, is this what the gods were originally like?"
"Yes, yes, our tribe actually invited the true body of the god, the high priest, we are going to hold an island-wide festival for other tribes to see!"
The surprise and adoration in the eyes of the priests are self-evident, their reverence for the gods is engraved in their bones, if the gods are angry, they can spew flames and burn all the creatures of the island, and the gods who are not angry are so dignified.
They decided that they wanted to be better with the messenger of the gods!
Gao Huaiyu didn't expect that their court embroidery in Daxia was sent out, and it was so well received, and he praised Zhongqinbo in his heart, and praised and praised this embroidery!
"These clothes are dressed like this!" Heiwa pushed the five silk horses that Qingyi was holding in front of the chief. One would tear at his clothes, and the other would hold silk and gesture with him.
These were selected by him from the silk soaked in water by the shippers, and the soaking was relatively slight and did not affect the use.
At last there was a chance to take a closer look at the native chief, whose complexion was between black and yellow, his cheeks were flat, and he looked closely at the shadow of an Asian.
Heiwa had some speculation about the island and didn't mention it.
The priest was still chattering about Shakyamuni's embroidery, and he didn't know how to place the head of the gods.
The chieftain, who was hunched on his waist, touched the slippery satin, loved it and gladly bared his gums, but unfortunately, there were few teeth left.
As hospitable natives, the chiefs and priests generously offered the most beautiful women in the tribe to the messengers of the gods.
"What? Woman? To us? Heiwa shook his head like a rattle, he didn't have such a heavy taste, and besides, these women didn't have much status at first glance, maybe they were still shared by the tribe.
"No, you don't! No! We have wives at home, and we can't take your women! Regardless of whether the other party can understand it or not, Heiwa said a lot, making Gao Huaiyu almost laugh crazy.
Finally got out of the mud house of this tribe, Heiwa said to Gao Huaiyu very seriously:
"General, we have to give a death order with our brothers, we don't care where we go, it represents Great Xia, and we can't easily accept these women outside. Do you know what is the most important thing about these women? ”
"What, aren't you afraid of your tigress?" Gao Huaiyu disagreed, although he was average for women, but he really had a few girls in the capital, and they had never received the edification of a couple of people.
"Didn't you see that? The women here are worse than our Daxia death deed girls, their leaders and those big and small leaders, can they let go of those good-looking women? There are many men, don't blame me for not reminding you, that's how the willow disease comes! ”
"According to what you say, can that person still have guests in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion?" He doesn't think there's anything wrong with men prostituting at all, Shieldfish Island is full of men, and there is a chance to sleep without sleeping with women, and he doesn't suffocate his brothers?
"There are many more prostitutes than ordinary people who have flower willow disease, I don't believe you can ask the official doctor, this ghost place, it is estimated that if you get sick, you will have to fend for yourself! Haven't you made a fortune with your brothers, is it unjust to die on this? ”
Gao Huaiyu thought about their current medical conditions and nodded: "Okay, I will definitely convey this matter, damn it, if I really get sick for a few indigenous women, I can't spare these eight lambs!" ”
When Gao Huaiyu and his subordinates returned from an emergency meeting, their high-level meeting was held on the No. 2 ship.
"Uncle, how long are we going to stay here?" Huang Shangshu is most concerned about this issue.
"The salvaged ship has to be repaired, and it is better to build some more, there are so many of us, the ship will not be able to run far if it is overloaded. Let the craftsmen of the shipyard go around this island, such a large forest, can not pick the wood suitable for shipbuilding? Our grain ship has capsized so much, and we are more or less looking for a little bit of compensation on this island, and we will hunt more prey! ”
"Okay, then let's set up the shelter first, and leave half of the people on board." Gao Huaiyu has no words, he is a soldier and has first-class execution.
The people who received the order immediately got busy, and on a hot day, they set up tents on the island, and the shipwrights also got off the boats to breathe, and heard that the natives of the island were so poor that they had no clothes to wear, and they had no interest in joining in the fun.
In order to chop wood, Gao Huaiyu asked a general manager to take a thousand sailors to follow the craftsmen around the mountain, and also looked at the surrounding terrain.
One island after another, the largest of which was eight, and the smallest of which were dozens or hundreds, and the island they anchored on was larger than the others, and there were even very high peaks on the island.
In the capital, Zhongqin Bofu, after Xiao Wu cried no less than ten times in his brother, he couldn't help but ask Cuihua:
"Mother, when will my father and eldest brother and second brother come back?"
"When Xiao Wu can lift a hundred pounds of stones, Dad will come back!"
"That little five has gone to practice!" One hundred pounds, Xiao Wu thinks it's not difficult, after the medicinal bath, his strength now grows very fast!
The children have no concept of time, even at the beginning, they have already explained to them that their father will not be able to come back until a few years later, but it is only a few months, and Cuihua has to deal with the inquiries of the two babies every few days.
The eldest brother and second brother, who have to go back to the house every month, are not coming back, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu scratch their heads, how far did their father and brother go to make money!
The mother told them that there are many children in the family, and their father wants to go out to make money to support the family, and they have to be obedient, but they are very obedient!
Cuihua's eyelids jumped that day, and in the letter of Heiwa two days later, she found the answer, what kind of luck is this, tornadoes at sea can be encountered, and they are all anxious for them.
Heiwa is not in a hurry, this island is very rich in fruits, pineapples, mangoes, bananas and papayas.
They also found a kind of food that looks like taro, which is not as powdery and glutinous as modern taro, but the taste is very close, and the natives throw it directly into the fire, burn the taro to black, and then peel it and eat it.
The natives were very tolerant of the messengers of the gods, and did not stop them from cutting down trees at all, and the soldiers cut them to death. Freshly cut trees, they have to peel them first, and then smoke them to dry quickly, and only the dried wood can be used to build ships.
Boat No. 1 had to be restored to their original state, half of the people had sheltered on the island, and half of them were on board.
Before their shelter could be set up, the chiefs and priests of the island summoned the leaders of the other tribes on the surrounding island.
They want to make a bigger sacrifice for the gods, and the natives basically live in a tribal way, and no one obeys the leadership of the indigenous leaders on other islands, but the gods are all in common awe of them.
The gods were furious, the volcano erupted, and the whole island would be filled with smoky, fiery red magma rising into the sky, and the scorching and flowing lava rivers melted away all life, and many of their people died in these magma.
Hearing that the true body and messenger of the gods had arrived on the island, the other tribes came to find out what was going on, and from the moment they saw the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, all the natives knelt down and began to kowtow.
