Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai were surprised not because of how powerful the person who stopped them was.
With Qin Shaoyou's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this person's cultivation level was around the seventh level.
This kind of strength is not comparable to that of Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai, even those who are pretending to be servants.
However, this man's eyesight was very sharp. After stopping Qin Shaoyou and the others, his eyes kept wandering around several people, examining the situation.
But Qin Shaoyou was confident that this person would not see any flaws.
They were surprised because this man's attire was so weird.
It’s a complete mix and match style!
This man wore an official hat of the Zhenla Kingdom on his head, but he was wearing a crimson monk's robe, and his right shoulder was exposed, just like the popular attire of monks in southern Xinjiang.
But what hung around his neck was not a Buddhist bead, but a shining Nestorian cross made of sterling silver.
Qin Shaoyou even used [Bright Eyes] to see that this Nestorian cross was not a special item, but a supernatural item.
Its function is to increase the affinity of the wearer, so that people around him will recognize him from the bottom of his heart, admire him, and think that he is a highly respected and trustworthy person.
Qin Shaoyou combined the situation here in the Ten Thousand Gods Cave and the abilities that this cross has shown to speculate that it may also have the effect of confusing people's hearts.
It can help the wearer deceive believers.
In addition, there is a flame-shaped tattoo on this man's exposed right shoulder.
This is the totem of Zoroastrianism.
After this man stopped Qin Shaoyou and the others, he waved the whisk with the Eight Diagrams engraved in his hand, and with a smile, he took out the handprint of the local witchcraft cult in southern Xinjiang and saluted Qin Shaoyou and the others.
Qin Shaoyou and others were in a state of surprise. They were counting how many sects and sects this person had, and almost forgot to return the gift.
Qin Shaoyou even complained crazily in his heart: This place, the Cave of the Gods, is not only full of religions and various temples, but the people here also live in such a mixed style? What an experience!
This guy is even more outrageous than Lama Wang, the chief priest of Wudang Mountain’s office in Shaolin Temple!
The man saw Qin Shaoyou and the others looking surprised, but he didn't take it seriously, just because he had seen too many similar reactions in the past few years.
Anyone who comes to the Ten Thousand Gods Cave for the first time will be shocked when they see these ‘knowledgeable guests’.
There were even many loyal believers from various sects who were quite dissatisfied with their dress, which resulted in some conflicts.
Those people were eventually deceived into becoming loyal believers of the Cave of the Gods.
Or, it becomes a part of the Cave of the Gods...
After Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai responded in a hurry, the man in mixed clothes opened his mouth and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha:
"I've invited several donors. I wonder where you are from and what are you called? I am sent by the Zhenla Kingdom to the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods to assist the temples in welcoming the knowledgeable guest Solibo.
Here in the Cave of the Gods, there must be hundreds of temples and shrines of different religious schools. What kind of gods do you want to worship and what wishes do you wish for? You might as well tell me and let me guide you."
Solibo spoke Zhenla dialect with a thick local accent. Fortunately, before Qin Shaoyou and the others left Beijing, they had considered the language problem in southern Xinjiang and brought with them a supernatural being called the 'Man in the Ear'.
thing.
The people in the ears are humanoid supernatural objects. They are only as big as a grain of rice and have ugly green-faced fangs, just like a yaksha.
The cause of this supernatural item is unknown.
There is a guess that it was the result of the accumulated grievances and desires of officials in Honglu Temple, Lifanyuan, and Xingrensi yamen who worked hard to learn foreign languages.
But there is no clear evidence, so it can only be speculation.
Most of the time, the person with the ear is in a sealed and sleeping state, but once someone puts them in the ear, they will wake up and take root in the person's ear.
The ear has no other use except that it allows the person parasitized by it to learn multiple languages without any instruction.
Not only can I listen, but I can also speak.
It is estimated that this is the effect, which makes people suspect that they come from Honglu Temple, Lifanyuan and other yamen.
However, the side effects of hearing loss are also quite serious.
It lives in people's ears and steals people's essence and blood as food.
If you are an ordinary person, it won't take long for you to have a large amount of essence and blood stolen by the person in your ear.
However, this side effect is nothing to Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai.
Their essence and blood are sufficient, and they are not parasitic to people in their ears for a long time, so there is no problem at all.
At this moment, it was with the help of the person in the ear that Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai understood what Solibo said.
Zhu Xiucai, who also spoke Siamese with an accent, bowed and replied: "I have met Mr. Zhike. We are from Siam. We have heard for a long time that the Ten Thousand Gods Cave is quite efficacious. We came here to offer incense and make a wish. This is our young master."
Ni Abba, I am his steward Ni Daye..."
Suo Libo didn't hear anything, but Qin Shaoyou heard that Zhu Xiucai was taking advantage of the other party, but it seemed that he was also taking advantage of himself?
But at this time, he couldn't say anything about Zhu Xiucai, so he could only continue to maintain his character as the silly son of a landlord, and said with a smile: "Master Zhike, why are you dressed like this? Are you an official?
Or a monk? A believer? Or a witch god who believes in it?"
Siam and Chenla are adjacent, and the languages of the two countries have many similarities. Solibo can also understand the words of Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and others.
Seeing their surprise and confusion, Solibo laughed and gave an explanation:
"I just said that there are many temples and shrines of different sects here in the Cave of the Gods.
We knowledgeable guests, who are sent by the imperial court to help, are not limited to which family or sect we belong to. We have to move around everywhere. Naturally, we must not offend each family and have to be trustworthy.
In this way, the gods and Buddhas of each family can give us some care and blessing.
At the same time, by dressing up like this, we can also show that this place, the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods, is one of the few miraculous blessed places in the world today where all gods are harmonious and all living beings are equal."
Well, this is still a Neptune who believes in fraternity.
Qin Shaoyou cursed in his heart.
But don't mention it, Solibo's words, with the blessing of the Nestorian cross on his body, are very seductive.
If Qin Shaoyou and others hadn't had strong enough mental resistance, they would have been successfully deceived by him, and they felt that his strange clothes made sense. The Cave of the Gods was indeed a place blessed by the gods, and it was unique.
Once this idea comes up, it will be easy for the people here in the Cave of the Gods to develop into followers of the mad god and be used by them.
However, Qin Shaoyou also saw at this moment that the real purpose of Suo Libo and other Zhike's dressing up in mixed styles was to disrupt their own auras so that others would not be able to see the evil and violent aura in them.
As for what Solibo said about helping to guide and lead the way, it was also an excuse.
The real purpose is to monitor Qin Shaoyou and others at close range.
Li Erlang and Cai Guizhong had told Qin Shaoyou about this situation before coming to the Ten Thousand Gods Cave.
Therefore, Qin Shaoyou knew that everyone who came to the Ten Thousand Gods Cave had to be led by Zhike, and they were not allowed to leave the group and wander around on their own.
So he continued to play the role of the silly son of the landlord. With the help of Fanzi, he got off the horse, cupped his hands towards Solibo, and said with a smile:
"So that's it. I just said that Master Zhike's dress is not very similar to the officials, monks, wizards, etc. I have seen before. To be honest, I am here to ask for a child this time. I don't know which one to go to.
Temple, which god and Buddha do you worship?”
"Asking for a son?"
Unexpectedly, Solibo was stunned after hearing this sentence.
He looked at Qin Shaoyou with a hint of doubt and flicker in his eyes, and his brows furrowed.
