Of course, Gu Li Zhong went to participate in the Gu God Festival, and the clansmen from various villages who participated in the festival had already set off one after another, and those who were far away needed to be a few days in advance. Gu Li Zhong, as a great witch prince, deliberately passed by the grass village, not only to bring Xiaoxiang, but also to walk with Hou Gang and several other distinguished guests.

Perhaps thanks to Hua Cub for seeing the "flaw" before, he not only reminded the tiger baby and helped him cover it up. Since entering the village, Huwa has paid attention to adjusting his behavior and state of mind, how to see him as an ordinary child, the most inconspicuous servant in Hou Gang's line, but he happens to be interested in Jiuli's witchcraft.

This also happens to be in line with his status as a servant, if it is replaced by Hou Gang to come here to learn Jiuli's witchcraft, it is unreasonable.

Gu Li Zhong looked at the tiger baby carefully, and didn't find anything unusual, he was more concerned about Hou Gang, and he was basically talking to Hou Gang. According to Jiuli's etiquette, Gu Li Zhong welcomed and thanked Hou Gang, and said that he had been too busy to come in time to entertain the distinguished guests recently, and asked Hou Gang to forgive him.

Of course, Gu Li Zhong knew that Hou Gang and the others had asked to go to the festival to watch the ceremony, but he deliberately did not mention it, but as the master, he warmly invited Hou Gang and the others to watch the ceremony at the Gu God Festival, as if he had offered it, and of course Hou Gang accepted it gladly. Gu Lizhong asked about Hou Gang's identity in the land of China again, and Hou Gang had nothing to hide, so he made a truthful introduction, which was indeed noble enough.

It must be known that Lord Cangjie of the Shi Huang clan has never married in his life, so his nephew is Hou Gang, who is the heir, is equivalent to the heir designated by Cangjie. However, Hou Gang, like his master Cangjie, is not interested in becoming the leader of the tribal forces, and he does not like to show off this identity on weekdays, and has a more detached pursuit.

Although Hou Gang had said before, he only came here to travel, not to be sent by Emperor Danzhu. But Gu Li Zhong still deliberately asked again. After getting a clear answer, Gu Li Zhong told Hou Gang another piece of news, and the emperor Danzhu would also come to the scene of this Gu God Festival to watch the ceremony, and convened the five great witches of Mu Li, Qi Li, Shan Li, Fei Li, and Gu Li to mediate disputes and make an alliance.

Danzhu was surrounded by two important entourage officials, namely Bo Yi and Chonghua. Gu Li Zhong asked Hou Gang if he knew them, and what did they know?

The names of Danzhu and Boyi, of course Hou Gang had heard of them when he was a child, but he had never met. Bo Yi is an invincible general and the brother-in-law of Emperor Yao, the son of Emperor Yao, Dan Zhu is the most important son of Emperor Yao and the most supported by various forces. Hou Gang told Gu Li Zhong everything he knew, and it was no secret in China anyway.

As for Chonghua, Hou Gang had never heard of it. This person married the daughter of Emperor Yao, the Son of Heaven, and was appointed, which should have happened after Hou Gang left China.

I didn't expect to meet the emperor Danzhu at the Gu God Festival so soon, as well as the world-famous Bo Yi. Tiger Baby is also curious about these characters who seem to have come out of legends. He left the Northern Wilderness and entered Ba Yuan, which was an eye-opener, and now he has left Ba Yuan and entered China, and has come to a broader world.

Everyone joined Gu Li Zhong's team and set off together, there are a total of ten teenagers in Yangcao Village this time, and they will participate in the ceremony of asking for the blessing of the Gu God at the festival. Xiao Xiang is the most special one among them, and Gu Li Zhong personally took her with him. The tiger baby walked with the others, and deliberately changed into the clothes of the locals according to the instructions of raising grass. It's even less conspicuous.

Huwa's companions were not only teenagers from Grass Village, but also children brought by Gu Li Zhong from Gu Li Headquarters Dazhai and other villages along the way. He found the teenagers who were going to participate in the blessing ceremony. All are not more than 15 years old, and girls are younger, mostly at 12 or 3 years old.

As for how to guide others to enter the initial realm of cultivation, Huwa can already be called a master-level master, and he knows very well that such an age may not be appropriate.

The child's state of mind is ignorant and simple. Being curious about all the unknowns, easily accepting new things, and being able to look at the world and oneself with a purer eye is indeed more in line with the requirements of entering the initial realm. In fact, whether it is the earliest enlightenment into the initial realm, or the future rebirth enlightenment into the realm. Even the monk had to verify a state of mind similar to that of a baby before it was born.

The younger the child and the simpler the mind, the more in line with the requirements of the state of mind for entering the initial realm of cultivation, if it is a baby who has not yet opened its eyes, there is not even a pass, just like the nature of creation. But there is not only the beginning, but also the experiences, perceptions, and tests on the path to heaven. The most suitable age is after the age of sixteen for men and fourteen for women.

Children who are too young have immature minds and incomplete physical functions, but lack sufficient experience in both body and mind, and enter the path of cultivation in ignorance, but they are actually full of dangers, but they are unaware of it. What's more, even if you are lucky enough to break through the level of cultivation and improve, the test in the cultivation runs throughout, and not the corresponding test ends after each level of cultivation is broken.

Experiences that you have not experienced in cultivation will inevitably be encountered in your future life, and the trials will be more difficult and more dangerous. For example, when entering the initial realm, the "****" is very simple for babies, but it is not simple for adults, and the stronger the ability and the higher the status, the more difficult it is.

It is precisely because he did not experience too much at the beginning, and the tests in the fixed situation were too simple for him, and when he experienced complex things in his life, it was not easy to stay in the state of mind that he sought verification in his early years. Unless you have developed an excellent temperament and a sound personality in the process of growing up, you can calmly face the complicated and unknown world.

Another example is the "training" from the first realm to the second realm, where the muscles and bones have to be tempered and purified, which is difficult for children who have not yet fully developed to bear, and various hidden dangers and latent injuries may occur, and the process is particularly dangerous. Unless you are born with an excellent constitution and have the guidance and help of your superiors, you can live it safely.

Huwa has been cultivating in the first realm since he can remember, and he has been starting with cultivation at the beginning of his life, which seems to be natural, but in fact it is the most difficult and almost impossible to copy. The tiger baby has now broken through the Nine Realms of cultivation and the cycle of life and death, and when she looks back, she knows what she has experienced.

This group of children from the villages of the Gu Li Department is indeed a little younger, and presumably the situation on the Fei Li side is similar. It is said that this was the earliest request of the Gu God, thus forming a centuries-old tradition.

If these children were younger, such as the decoction that Rushing Gang took when he participated in the festival back then, I am afraid that they could kill them. Since the Gu God has left this tradition, the children it wants to choose should be at an age that can barely withstand such a test, and the hope of being able to enter the initial realm is the greatest, but the process is also the most dangerous.

Combined with the "experience" introduced by Hua Cub to the tiger baby, what the Gu God wants to find is the most sincere belief in it, and at the same time, the talent and physique are excellent children, selected from generations. But for most children, the process of elimination is extremely cruel, especially for the couple who are at the heart of the ritual.

Huwa knew very well that Xiaoxiang did not meet the requirements, and the vast majority of the dozens of children around him did not meet the requirements. They are just selected as much as possible from the village, and they have placed everyone's expectations. Huwa couldn't help but think of the meaning of "Gu" that Hou Gang had explained.

The crowd headed east, down the undulating road. A river formed by the water system in the mountains is like a natural divide, dividing this out-of-the-world land into east and west, and the lower reaches of the river are the canyons that Huwa and others pass through when they enter this place. Most of the villages in the Gu Li tribe are in the west, and most of the villages in the Fei Li tribe are in the east and intersect with the mountain Li tribe.

They camped and rested for the night, crossed the river, and then gradually walked higher into the territory of the Fei Li Division, and arrived at the place where the festival would be held at noon the next day.

The altar is built on a hillside, backed by a steep and majestic cliff, and below it is a terraced platform. I don't know if the Jiuli people were inspired in the process of building terraces, so they built such an altar of Gu gods.

If you look down from the sky, the altar built on the mountain resembles a half-blooming flower, the main altar where the offerings are placed is the center of the flower, and the platform that spreads out layer by layer is like a picture petal.

Among them, there are two of the most special "petals", the highest and closest to the main altar, which will be the position of the other boy of Xiaoxiang and Fei Li during the blessing ceremony, and the surrounding circle of "petals" is the position of the other children. Each village that visits the festival occupies a designated "petal" below, and the position cannot be wrong, so you can also see the status of each other.

These terraced platforms have been built at different ages, and the lower the surrounding areas get newer, indicating that the number of villages in the mountains has been slowly increasing for hundreds of years.

On the high slope of another adjacent mountain, a vacant lot was artificially leveled, and a rough stone house was built on the vacant land, which was originally a temporary settlement place for the two great witches and their close attachés, and is now used to receive the emperor Danzhu. As a Chinese angel, Danzhu accompanied a large number of honor guards and personal guards, and also set up a row of big tents in the open space.

I heard that the great witch princes of the three departments of Muli, Qili, and Shanli also came to the festival with the emperor Danzhu to watch the ceremony this time, which can be described as a grand space. Gu Li Zhong joined Fei Li Chi, the great witch of the Fei Li Department, of course, he had to go to see Dan Zhu first. However, Danzhu first summoned Hou Gang alone, this Chinese angel was well-informed, not only did he already know Hou Gang's identity, but also knew that he would come today.

It's not surprising to think about it, since Danzhu came to inspect Jiuli, his subordinates must have arranged eyeliner. Hou Gang and the others have been in the Gu Li Department for more than half a month, and there have already been various rumors.

Taiyi, Jigu, Huwa and the other three are still staying with the people of the grass village. Their current identity is only Hou Gang's entourage, and with Danzhu's respect, of course, no one can see each other, and Danzhu doesn't know their origins. (To be continued.) )
