Chapter 28 Sacrificial Valley

Two days later, we returned to the tribe, today is the day to go to the sacrificial valley to sacrifice, the whole tribe of all ages and young went to the sacrificial Gu to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, the sacrificial valley took me with me, the sacrificial valley is under the Suling Peak, the Suling Peak extends out of the tent layer by layer to surround the sacrificial valley, the sacrificial valley is a very good feng shui treasure land. When he returned, he returned to his usual appearance, putting away his gentleness and replacing it with calm and coldness.

On the way to the sacrificial valley, I saw the war Gu lion and the rohu. Riding on the battle Gu lion, we quickly rushed to the sacrificial valley, and saw from a distance that the sacrificial valley had a group of towering buildings, stopped in front of the huge gate, the door was wide open, and when we looked in from here, we only saw a wide avenue, on both sides of the avenue were towering round pillars, the pillars were very large, about four or five meters in diameter, and the height could not be estimated, about twenty stories high. One is erected at intervals, and the whole piece is there, and it is even more magnificent and solemn when you walk inside. It makes people feel awe-inspiring. I followed him all the way inside.

"Fish! How can there be so many columns? I asked in a whisper.

"One pillar represents a clan, and there are eighty-one like this in all, and we see only a small piece of it." Sullen explained. That's a lot of land, and how much manpower and material resources did it take for the ancestors to build such a large-scale sacrificial forest. As you walk, a group of imposing buildings appears in front of you, and compared to the houses in the tribe, the prosperous buildings here can be regarded as tall. A total of nine gates, built along the ridge, magnificent, each Pai Men building is scattered and has different shapes, respectively, three stone gates, three wooden gates, three brick and wood structure gates, named after the Jiuli tribe: Yiyi Gate, Yuyi Gate, Fangyi Gate, Huangyi Gate, Baiyi Gate, Chiyi Gate, Xuanyi Gate, Fengyi Gate, Yangyi Gate. "The Nine Entrances Courtyard adopts the five elements of heaven and earth - gold, wood, water, fire and earth as a symbol of materials and feng shui, facing the east, very majestic and magnificent. Each archway is carved with totems about Miao folk culture, historical stories and folk auspiciousness. The sculptures of the spine soap are very exquisite and lifelike, with birds and animals and ancient figures, which are the myths and legends of the Miao people and the statues of ghosts, gods and beasts worshipped.

In the middle is a huge square with many people. In the center of the square is a high altar surrounded by nine steps, each with a guardrail. On the sacrificial platform, there is a pillar of Jiuli God: the pillar of the symbol of Jiuli, carved with white marble, with a total height of 24 meters, symbolizing the four seasons of the year, 12 months and 24 festivals, with the meaning of complete reunion. There are 36 ghosts, 72 gods, 36 Tiangang, and 72 earthly statues carved on the pillar. The bottom of the stone pillar is 3 meters in diameter, which is very mysterious.

There was a Gu priest standing on the altar! Holding a skull cane, dressed in white, with gray hair and beard, and the appearance of an immortal wind and bones, there was a group of people sitting around the Gu Priest. There are nine large offering tables under the altar, surrounded by a number of smaller ones. There is an incense burner on the offering table, and all kinds of offerings are placed.

He took me up to the altar, and when I stood on the altar, someone handed us nine pillars of incense, and the Gu priest and the people sitting around him began to chant the incantation, and the sacrifice began, and we raised the incense with both hands and bowed three times, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then retreated to the prayer mat to perform a kneeling prayer. After nine prostrations, it is done. Then the people below began to burn incense and bow down one after another, first the official-level ones, and then the young ones with strong strength, in a steady stream and in an orderly manner. I followed behind and walked towards a group of tall and magnificent buildings on stilts, and as I went, the door was open, and there were people guarding inside, and we entered the Nine Gate Pavilion and worshipped in turn. Finally, there is an ornate hall with a tall statue of the ancestor Chiyou. The whole lobby is very solemn, and the two sides of the hall display utensils, pictures, pictures, and weapons related to Chiyou. We then offered incense to our ancestors again and bowed down. The people behind came in one after another to burn incense and bow down, and it was over, at this time it was almost dark, and we began to walk back, and there were still many people waiting to worship in the square, but our task seemed to be over. When I returned to the headquarters, I had dinner, and when I went back, I saw Ah Dong, he was pacing back and forth in front of my door, as if there was something looking for me, but it didn't seem to be a good thing to see him like this, I walked over and asked, "Ah Dong!" Are you waiting for me? ”

As soon as he saw me, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Mmmm! I did have something to do with you, but this thing shouldn't have been done by me, but I can't help it, he has to force me to look for you after you come back, and I can't help it. Look at his eagerness. I asked, "Tell me something, it's fine." Who knew that he was embarrassed and said, "Why don't you go into your house and say?" He looked around as he spoke, as if he was afraid of being seen. I nodded and said, "Okay! Come in with me. ”

I sat him down in the room and asked, "What can make you so scared, serious?" He took out a fine jewelry box from his clothes and handed it to me, saying: "This is Wang Liuyu asked me to hand it to you, he said that you must accept it, and he also said that he may disappear for a while, and he will come back when the matter is done." "I didn't take the jewelry box, first of all, I and I are now in a certain relationship, and it's not good to receive gifts from other men.

"I can't ask for this gift, what will others think of accepting his gift now as the patriarch's wife."

Ah Dong listened and said anxiously: "I'll just say, I shouldn't be allowed to do this, don't say it's you and I feel sorry for the boss, if the boss knows that I'm too miserable, you say that I'm doing this to help others rob you like the boss, but Wang Liuyu forced me to say that if I come back and know that you didn't accept it, let me look good." I think he really has real feelings for you this time, and it's pitiful to look at. So I agreed to help him. ”

"This Wang Liuyu is really going to pick on my weakness, knowing that our relationship is good, he will threaten me with you." I said in distress.

"In this way, take it first, if you don't wait for him to come back, you can just give it back to him." Ah Dong handed it over.

"Okay." I received it, it was quite heavy, I don't know what it was.

"Don't tell the boss about it!" Ah Dong looked at me pitifully.

"Good! I don't dare let him know! Ah Dong asked with a thief on his face: "Say ...... You've got the boss. I blushed all of a sudden, and hurriedly denied: "What's the matter, how can someone like you say that you can do it, don't you know your boss?" ”

"Don't admit it, I just know him too well, and even if you hide it well, I can be sure that his attitude towards you has changed just by the way he looks at you. When have you ever seen a boss look at a girl like that? Don't ask me why I know, I came here while you were eating, and when I saw the doting look in his eyes when he looked at you, I knew you had got him. Ah Dong said with a smug expression.

My heart is beautiful! On the surface, he pretended to be casual and replied: "Are you dazzled, why don't I know that the way he looks at me has changed, and it is still the same as before." Ah Dong laughed: "Don't pretend, say ...... How did you get the boss, where have you been and what have you done in the past few days? ”

"Do...... Do what. "What did we do, and I blushed at the thought of those images. At this moment, a faint voice came from the door: "What to do?" We didn't do anything, what are you doing here? "I don't know when I'm already standing at the door.

Ah Dong hurriedly got up and replied, "No...... It's okay, boss! I just haven't seen you in a long time, so I miss you. Just looking at you, nothing else. That one...... Seeing that I'm going back, what do you have to talk about? So saying, he walked outside. Who knew that Yu blocked his way, and said lightly: "She's a girl, so you come in with her, aren't you afraid of others gossiping?" Besides, if someone else gossips about me with her identity. ”

Ah Dong said with a bitter face: "Boss! I know it's wrong, just let me go this time, there won't be a next time. Hearing his words, he got out of the way, and Ah Dong ran away like a desperate escape.

But I walked in, and I was busy hiding the jewelry box. On the surface, he said calmly: "Didn't you just say that others can't enter my room?" How did you get in? He came to me and sat down and poured tea and replied, "I'm different from them, I'm your fiancΓ©, you're my man now, and you're not allowed to be alone with other men." ”

"When did I become your person, it will be misunderstood if you say this." He listened to me, took a sip of tea, and suddenly came to me, leaned me against the chair, bowed his head, and whispered in my ear, "What do you want to do if you are not my people?" I hurriedly moved back from my chair to distance myself from him, and whispered: "I don't want to do anything, this is good, it's good, you can go out quickly, the door is not closed, you don't want to be seen like this, besides, we are not married, so it will not affect me well." Let others see such a patriarch, they must think that they are wrong. He turned his head to look at the door and at me again, and I turned to leave. Did I just get knocked on the wall? His heart was pounding, but luckily he was gone.

I took out the jewelry box, opened it, and found that in addition to some beautiful and delicate jewelry, there was also a note, I opened the note and wrote: "Xi'er! I'm going to Wuchuan on a mission, maybe it will take half a month or a month or two to come back, maybe these four sets of jewelry are for you, and there are ten pieces of jade, they are all suitable for you. It's very hard to see you every day, and I hope to see you sooner. ”

"What! Who gave you a love letter? "Suddenly, there was a sound in my ears, which startled me, this was the same as being a thief, and I felt weak when I suddenly appeared like this. But it was wrong for him to hide it when he saw it, and I handed him the note, and he took it and looked at it, and his expression suddenly became solemn. He put the note away and said, "This is for you, it's clearly for me." After saying that, he put a few red-skinned ancient books on my desk, turned around and hurried away. I can't tell what is going on, looking at his expression and rushing appearance, it seems that something is wrong, but how did the note of jewelry that Wang Liuyu gave me become to him.

It didn't take long for the voices of Qin Qi and Ah Dong to come from outside, followed by Mu Han. I was shocked in my heart, I felt that something was wrong, and I was in such a hurry to call them over, which means that something really happened. I hurriedly got up and walked to the house, the door was open, and as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw that even the Gu War King Hansu had come. Han Su is the son of Elder Li and the elder brother of Xiaolian. The combat effectiveness is very strong, he was elected as the leader of the armed forces, his father was very opposed, the armed forces were managed by the Zhang family, he should inherit his own position instead of going to the armed forces to help the Zhang family, his father broke with him for this matter, and finally let him stay in the armed forces. So he was kind to him.

I walked in and found a place to sit down, they were still discussing things, only to hear Zhu said: "This matter is not trivial, you are looking for people, try to find as many people as possible, the other party is not small." Qin Qi prepared the equipment, prepared two more copies, and Ah Dong handled the aftermath. And Mu Han, this time they are facing some strong people, and they have prepared everything that should be prepared. Set off two days later, the time is urgent, everyone hurry up and get it done. With that, he took a sip of tea.

Everyone nodded and got up to leave, and Qin Qi walked away from me with a warm smile when he saw me. After all of them were gone, only me and Ji were left, and all of a sudden it was quiet, and we didn't speak, and the atmosphere was very awkward. When he saw me, his solemn expression relaxed a lot, I had never seen this aspect of the group, and assigned tasks to them with the attitude of a leader, and spoke categorically and neatly.

"Fish! What happened? ”
