Chapter 62: The Only Awkward Occasion
Yue Qi sighed and said, "This is the largest tribe of the Qiang people. There are more than 100,000 households. In the whole of southern Xinjiang, only the Miao tribe can be compared. However, the great god Moha does not live here, seniors, have you seen the mountain next to the tribe? That mountain is called a sacred mountain by the Qiang people, and even for the Qiang people, it is a forbidden place. Except for the great god Moha, none of the people who secretly went up the mountain came back alive. The Qiang people have a tradition that once someone commits an unpardonable capital sin, they must get rid of the gua
g His own garment, and went up to the sacred mountain to atone for his sins. It was a road to death. Let's wait here for a while, after all, this is the fundamental place of the Qiang people, and without their people, it's better not to enter easily. ”
Miao said: "I have been to the Miao people before. This is the first time that the Qiang people have come. Patriarch, do you have any special customs of the Qiang people? Tell us first, so as not to cause trouble. ”
Yue Qi nodded and said, "There are many customs of the Qiang people, and the most taboo thing for them is that others peep at them and raise Gu. For them, Gu worms are the most precious thing. We Yi people also raise Gu, but compared to them, it is simply too bad. The Qiang people have many strange ways to raise Gu. For example, Natal Gu will use their own essence blood to feed. Almost every Qiang person has their own natal Gu. And the natal Gu with a female surname is much more powerful than that with a male surname. Sometimes, when a Qiang girl falls in love with a male surname, she will put her natal Gu down on the other party. If the other party agrees to the marriage, everything is divorced, if not. You can only use your natal Gu to fight each other. Whoever is weak in his natal Gu can only die as a result. ”
Hongzhi exclaimed in surprise and said, "Is the Qiang beauty so terrifying? ”
Xiao Clever smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are a monk, who will take a fancy to you." Even if you are dressed as a Yi now, with your grandmother who is not close and your uncle is not loved, no one will take a fancy to you. Hongji said slightly angrily: "If you don't make fun of me for a day, you will feel uncomfortable, won't you? Doesn't I look better than you? Hmph." ”
The little clever eyes widened, and said, "What? Don't you want to drink with the monkeys? It seems that I still keep it for myself. ”
Hongji's whole body was shocked, and he suddenly showed a flattering look, and said with a smile: "Little clever, don't be angry, I'm playing with you." If you want to make fun of it, just make fun of it, I'm used to it anyway. "For the sake of good wine, he can't care about anything.
Yue Ni smiled and said: "The Qiang girl put her natal Gu, you seniors can rest assured, even if they are handsome, they will not take a fancy to our Yi people." After all, we're just a small race. Their targets are all powerful warriors of their own clan, or strong people of other clans. Releasing the Natal Gu is also very dangerous to oneself, generally speaking, unless you love the other party very much, you will not release it easily.
Tan Shaobai said: "These Qiang girls are really terrifying, if they are restricted by their natal Gu, won't they have to obey them for the rest of their lives?"
Yue Yu shook his head and said, "That's not it, only virgins can exert the greatest power of natal Gu, otherwise, with the Qiang people's understanding of Gu worms, they can be eliminated with ordinary Gu breaking methods." And if the woman is a virgin, the natal Gu will be extremely powerful, and the ordinary Gu breaking technique will not work, but as long as the two parties get married, on the wedding night, the bride's virgin blood will inevitably lead her natal Gu back into her body. And never again hurt the life of the person who broke her. It is precisely because of this that sometimes, the young people who have been given a natal Gu will try their best to force the woman to get rid of the Gu worms in their bodies. ”
Miao said: "Then these people are too bad. If you ruin someone's reputation, how can you remarry!"
Yu Qi smiled bitterly: "It's no wonder that those young people, if they are forced to marry someone they don't love, it is also a very painful thing." What's more, the woman was wrong first. Even if he was forcibly annihilated by the man, he couldn't say anything. Although this is a custom of the Qiang people, it is rarely seen now. Qiang girls are very open, and there are very few girls who can maintain their virgin bodies and raise natal Gu. Look, the Qiang are coming. Sure enough, twenty Qiang warriors, led by a tall young man in leather armor, came towards the hillside where Tan Shaobai and the others were.
Yu Ni took the initiative to take out his own invitation sticker and greeted him. After a few words of conversation with the tall young man, he handed him the invitation sticker. The young man looked up at Tan Shaobai and the others and the Yi warriors. Xiang Yu nodded.
At the signal of Yue Ni, a group of twenty-six people followed the group of Qiang soldiers into the tribe. The tall young man was handsome, his face never showed any expression, he looked very calm, and his subordinates were much stronger than the Qiang warriors that Tan Shaobai and the others saw for the first time.
The tall young man led the Yi people to the west end of the tribe, pointed to a row of more than a dozen low wooden houses, and said: "This is a place arranged for you, don't come and go at will without our invitation." When the Patriarchal Assembly begins, we'll naturally invite you there. "His voice is as cold as his people, and listening to it brings a chill to the ears.
Yu Yu nodded, thanked the tall young man, and led Tan Shaobai and the others to live in more than ten wooden houses. In order to facilitate and save space, Tan Shaobai took the initiative to ask for Miao Miao and Zhishui to live in one room, and himself, Xiao Jiling, and Hongzhi to live in one room. The hut was very simple, it seemed to have been newly built, and there was only a wide wooden bed in the room, and there was not even a covering. More than a dozen rays of sunlight poured through cracks in the roof. This kind of simple room does not play the role of shelter from the wind and rain at all.
Hongzhi muttered: "It's really strength that says it all! The Yi people will be bullied if they are weak." If you were to be a Soto god of the Miao people, you would never live in such a room. ”
Tan Shaobai smiled and said, "Forget it, let's stay first." Aren't the Qiang people very arrogant? The main purpose of my visit this time is to let them see what real arrogance is. ”
Hongzhi and Xiao Clever were at the same time, and Hongji said, "Big brother, you're not here to cause trouble, are you?"
Tan Shaobai smiled and said, "Why not, if we mess up this bullshit patriarch meeting, I'm afraid they won't be in the mood to attack the Central Plains." Now I have a rough idea. At the beginning, we saw that the person who commanded the monster to slaughter the village of Zhao Song Kingdom was probably sent by the Qiang tribe to explore the way. Have you forgotten the tragic deaths of those villagers? I don't have any affection for these aliens anyway. If there is no such thing as making a fuss, how can I be reconciled? I think that the elder of the Yi nationality is not bad, and if there is a chance, I will definitely help them become stronger. ”
Hongzhi said helplessly: "Boss, you really can." Yesterday, you taught Yu Yu the cultivation method that you had taught Huang Sui at the beginning, and helped him and his soldiers dredge the meridians, and that's why you taught him and his soldiers. ”
Tan Shaobai nodded and said, "What? Don't you want me to do this? If so, I won't do it." ”
Hongzhi shook his eyes and said, "Big brother, why are you so good at talking?"
Tan Shaobai sighed lightly and said, "This battle with the three-headed big brother has made me experience the process from life to death again. I cherish you and the little wives and the ethereal now. When I was consumed by hellfire, I thought of you. You don't know how reluctant I was at that time. You are all my good brothers. What is there to give up something for you? As long as we can be happy together, it is enough. ”
Hongji and Little Ghost glanced at each other, and both of them lowered their heads at the same time, and the wooden house fell silent. After a while, Hongzhi slowly raised his head, Tan Shaobai found that his eyes were a little red, Hongji grinned, revealing his white teeth, "Big brother, we understand your intentions." However, I didn't finish what I said just now! I and the little wit both like your surname that is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Only in this way will our lives not be lonely and will be more exciting. Big brother, what we want to tell you is that no matter what you decide, you don't need to think about us. Because, we will all support you unconditionally. ”
The little ghost nodded firmly, and said, "Dead Shaobai, we believe in you." Tan Shaobai smiled, smiled happily, what could be happier than the trust of his brothers, touched his head that had grown a little hair, and said, "Okay, don't be so serious." Since you're all agreeing, I'll do what I want. Hmph, no matter how strong those two bullshit gods are, I'm going to stir up the chickens and dogs here this time. ”
Next door. Miao smiled, and so did Zhishui. Both shook their heads helplessly at the same time. Miao said: "I think Shaobai's temper will never be changed." This trip to southern Xinjiang is not lively. ”
Zhishui said: "Hasn't he always been like this, when he was still only in the Fuhu realm, he dared to show his love to you in front of the disciples of my sect, what else did he not dare." ”
Miao Miao raised her hand, the blue light flashed, and the entire room was suddenly forbidden and guarded, she sighed lightly and said, "Senior sister, there are only two of us now, just say what you have on your mind." ”
Zhishui's whole body was shocked, he shook his head, and said, "What's on my mind?"
Miao said: "We sisters have been sisters for many years, how can I not see that you have something in your heart? Since you and Tan Shaobai came back safely that day, you have always been silent, and you don't often sarcastically mock Shaobai as before. These changes can't be seen by others, can't I still see them? Moreover, I found that Shaobai will avoid your gaze now, and stay intense with you all the time. If my guess is correct, your heart must have something to do with him. You should know what kind of person your senior sister is. Say it, don't hold it to yourself. That's going to be hard. ”
Zhishui showed a confused look in his eyes, and muttered: "Say it, what am I talking about?" Senior sister, I don't have anything on my mind, don't think about it." ”
Miao Miao took the hand of the water stop and said, "You don't have to lie to me." You are not a serious person, senior sister doesn't want to see you unhappy! If you don't say it, I'll ask Shaobai now. I think that whatever he has in mind, if I ask, he will say it. ”
"Don't. Zhishui blurted out these two words, and she suddenly realized that she had lost her words. Looking at the ethereal appearance of smiling but not smiling, he lowered his head closely.
My good sister, just say it. Senior sister is willing to be your loyal listener. ”
Zhishui sighed helplessly and said, "Senior sister, how can you let me talk about this matter! My heart has been in turmoil these days. I don't know what's wrong with myself, but I ......"
Miao Miao showed a sudden expression and smiled: "I understand, there is only one thing that can make a woman so annoyed." Tell Senior Sister frankly, do you like Shaobai? ”
Zhishui was startled, shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no, senior sister, don't get me wrong, I don't like him." How could I rob your husband?"
Miao Miao smiled and said: "Silly girl, didn't my senior sister tell you, although I will also be jealous, but I care more about his feelings, if you like him, this is a good thing! In that case, I can rest assured. Don't shy away from it, don't be shy, say what you feel in your heart. ”
Looking at Ethereal's sincere gaze, Zhishui's eyes turned red, and she threw herself into Ethereal arms and cried loudly. The cry was sad, as if she wanted to express all the grievances in her heart these days.
Miao patted Zhishui's back and said softly, "Say it, senior sister, listen." ”
Zhishui lay in his ethereal warm arms and muttered, "I don't know what kind of mood I'm in now." I don't understand how I feel about Tan Shaobai. Actually, all this trouble is caused by myself. At the beginning, I hated Tan Shaobai's arrogant surname, so I targeted him very much. You know, I used to punish him with injunctions. Don't look at Tan Shaobai's big grin on the surface. In fact, he is very vindictive. Thousands of years later, he still remembers the beginning. He felt to me just as much as I did to him, and even more so than I did. That day, after you left, the two of us were stopped by three dragons, and after a few successive fights, I was not lightly injured. There's no way we're going to hit it, so we're just going to run. I was in front, Tan Shaobai was behind, and we couldn't tell the direction, so we blindly ran forward. After running for a while, the breath in my body was uneven, so I decided to stop and rest. It seems that I stopped too hard, Tan Shaobai followed closely, as soon as I stopped, he suddenly bumped into him, and as a result, we fell to the ground, and he rolled a few times with my body before stopping. Now that I think about it, he hugged me to protect me from injury. However, senior sister, you also know that no one has ever touched my body, and I was carried away by anger at that time, so I slapped him hard. ”
