Tribal rituals, ancient and orderly.

Although the procedure was cumbersome, it was bound by the ancient law, and the priests meticulously carried out the ancient law.

The roasted cow's head was held above his head, the priest danced and shouted a strange tone in his mouth, Kong Zheng narrowed his eyes, and the behavior of these people ...... It's a lot like a witch.

It is rumored that in the ancient period, five insects and ten thousand monsters were born, the five insects were the scales and feathers, the human race was the 'beetle', and the same human-like race, as well as the 'barbarian' and 'witch' races.

In ancient times, there were gods who descended to earth and passed down three thousand avenues, and the five insects and thousands of monsters were transformed from this, and they obtained the ability to cultivate the true spirit of heaven and earth.

Among the three thousand avenues, there are five types of saints, and it is rumored that the first saint of the beetle was born from the Wu clan.

The Wu clan has a heavenly father and an earth mother, and their physical structure is different from that of people, and their reproduction does not need to be yin and yang, but to feel the rhyme of heaven and earth, and give birth to children and conceive children.

In the last life, Kong Zheng watched the process of reproduction of the Wu clan from a distance, which was quite magical, and it seemed that because the first saint was from the Wu clan, the children they gave birth to were abnormal in physique since childhood, healthy and powerful.

In front of the ceremony, it seems to be a tribute to the 'Heavenly Father', and in the crowd, a young girl is carried in an urn and prays in a circle around the fire.

"Hmph, there is not enough food to eat, why do you still have sacrifices?"

Outside, a young man looked at the slices of beef being thrown into the fire, and said with a dissatisfied expression.

As he spoke, the young man suddenly heard movement behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a young man standing there.

The young man was less than twenty, his eyes were bright, his posture was straight, and there was a sword behind his back, and the young man was suspicious: "Who are you? Why did you break into our Niuwei Village at night?"

The young man was Kong Zheng, his gaze was withdrawn from not far away, and he said to the young man: "I am a Confucian student of Chiyang Kingdom, I met a robber on the way to participate in the Confucian Poetry Conference, got lost, and strayed into this place. When he saw a fire, he came. ”

The young man was sturdy, and he saw that although Kong Zheng was carrying a sword, he looked weak, and he couldn't help but dispel his vigilance.

"Confucianism...... I think I've heard of it. That's it, Niuwei Village has always been hospitable, you can stay tonight. ”

The young man said magnificently.

Kong Zheng thanked him and said to the young man, "What are you doing over there, why is that woman in an urn, is she making a mistake?"

The young man folded his arms around his chest and said sullenly, "She is my wife, and she is pregnant with her Heavenly Father. ”

Kong Zheng had long known that the Wu clan's method of reproduction was strange, and this time, as a mortal, he had to pretend not to understand: "Conception......? Packed in an urn...... How do you get pregnant?"

"Confucianism, you don't understand, this is the secret method of my clan. The gods will bestow on the leaves a healthy child. ”

After a while, the priests didn't know how many times they circled around the fire, and suddenly the woman in the urn screamed in pain, and the priest was overjoyed: "Smash the jar, Yingzi!"

The urn was lowered, and the person carrying the urn smashed it open, and everyone found that the woman's abdomen was bulging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the faces of several witches were full of joy: "Come into the house quickly, the child is about to be born!"

Kong Zheng saw that the young man clenched his fists, his expression was quite nervous, everyone picked up the burnt beef in the fire one after another, and fed it to their mouths, everyone ate with black teeth, but they seemed to enjoy a feast and shook their heads.

After a while, the baby's cry appeared, loud and powerful, and the cry became the most beautiful sound of the night, the young man hurried over, and in the house, the previous girl walked out and took out the baby in swaddling clothes: "Ah Ling, our child has been born!"

The absurd scene was the first time Kong Zheng had seen it so closely, and he didn't know why the Wu Clan's method of reproducing offspring was so strange.

The young man hugged the girl and surrounded the child, his previously cold face became a little excited, and suddenly, he called Kong Zheng not far away.

Only then did everyone find that a stranger had appeared, and the young man said: "My name is Ou Qiling, in our clan, when the child is born, the first person my father sees will give the child a name. Confucianism, give my child a name. ”

A bowl of wine was served, this was fruit wine, Kong Zheng took a sip, and it tasted pretty good.

Kong Zheng never knew that there was such a custom, wiped his mouth and asked, "Does the child take his father's surname or his mother's surname?"

"Take your last name. ”

A sip of wine squirted out, Kong Zheng's eyes widened: "Follow my surname ???"

Ou Qiling said: "The child is given by his father, and he is the son of a god, but the god has no surname or name. When he was born, the first person I saw was given his surname, the father. ”

Why do children have my last name?!

Kong Zheng is a hundred unwilling in his heart, these witches have problems with their brains!

"By the way, Confucius, what's your last name?"

Kong Zheng was speechless: "Kong." ”

"Have you figured out what the child's name is?"

Kong Zheng found that the girl looked at herself, the young man looked at herself, and the surrounding villagers also looked at her, in the previous life, she had only watched from a distance once, but she didn't know this kind of quirk, and found that it was difficult for him to ride a tiger, Kong Zheng had to say: "Kong Tai." ”

"What a strange name...... the young man muttered, and then happily picked up the child, "In the future, my child's name will be Kong Tai!

The villagers cheered.

After the name, Kong Zheng found that he was useless, he was left out in the cold, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.

Among this kind of beetle, the first saint can be born...... Why?

Fortunately, Kong Zheng still has the identity of a guest, Ou Qiling arranged a house for Kong Zheng, and Kong Zheng didn't feel a little slow.

At night, it was already dark, Kong Zheng entered meditation, and he had to continue to hurry tomorrow, with a few spirit stones beside him, replenishing his true qi.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.

The knock on the door was accompanied by Ou Qiling's voice, and Kong Zheng saw that he and his wife had walked in.

"Is there something wrong?" Kong Zheng asked as soon as he put away the spirit stone.

Ou Qiling said: "The child has to sleep with his father on the first night, and the parents have to keep vigil. lest he be taken away by the gods. ”

“...... I said, where did you get all these rules?"

"This is an ancient ritual in the clan. Ou Qiling handed the infant child to Kong Zheng and took out a large bag of coins.

"This is all my belongings, take care of my children tonight, and tomorrow morning, you can take them all. ”

The corners of Kong Zheng's eyes twitched, this bag of coins was only the size of a fist, and it was enough to buy a sheep, seeing Ou Qiling leaving, Kong Zheng was helpless, what kind of people are these.

The child of the Wu clan is healthy, the physique is strong, and it is different from the human race, the child in the swaddling child has opened his eyes at this moment, looking at Kong Zheng with dark eyes, reaching out and grabbing Kong Zheng's clothes, not afraid of life at all.

Kong Zheng sighed: "Okay, let's take care of you all night." ”

As he spoke, he took out the spirit stone and continued to cultivate.

The next morning, before the dew fell, the rooster crowed, and Ou Qiling, who had been keeping watch all night, entered the house with his wife tiredly and found that Kong Zheng was no longer there.

Ou Qiling was stunned for a moment, rubbing his eyes like a ghost.

The child is still there, and the money for Kong Zheng is also there, and the girl looked at Ou Qiling nervously: "What about the child's father?"

Ou Qiling shook his head, he seemed to have taken a nap last night, could it be that at that time, Confucian left?

"Ah Ling, look, Kong Tai has a stone around his neck. When the girl saw that the child was still healthy and lively, she felt at ease, and she took out the ornament and found that the word 'Thai' was engraved on it, which was threaded with a rope and hung on the child's chest.

Ou Qiling smiled: "This Confucian is not bad. ”
