Sister Livia was not kept waiting for too long. Soon, the person Linge wanted her to see arrived.
And she arrived in a very noisy manner. Before she saw anyone, she heard her excited voice: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm here! Ringer! Sister Xiaoxia! Miss Xino! I'm here to bring you food!"
Today's dinner is rat root fruit stew, grilled lamb chops and cedar bitter tea. It's very rich, isn't it? I hunted that blue sheep myself. I saw it in a forest at that time, then quietly drew my bow and shot an arrow.
Just kill it! After I got back, everyone praised me for my accurate shooting... Huh?"
Songtaya stopped and sniffed the air with her nose, like a snowfield chow that smelled a strange smell. A look of doubt and thinking appeared on her face: "It smells so good. What does it smell like? You have already started.
Have you eaten? Is it Miss Siesta’s craft again?”
Her eyes immediately fixed on the unfinished pot of creamy mushroom stew under the big cedar tree. She looked at the milky white soup and the plump matsutake mushrooms floating quietly in the soup. She opened her mouth slightly and looked straight at it.
, people will undoubtedly drool and salivate in the next second.
"..."
Lin Ge was quite speechless when he saw this scene. The girls also subconsciously put down the bowls and spoons in their hands and swallowed them unintentionally, because they always felt that it would be very cruel if they continued to eat in front of the girl Xia Tuotuo.
matter.
"Gududu." A loud voice came from Songtaya's belly. When she came to her senses, her face turned red, redder than the sunset on the snow-capped mountains.
Ringer did not ask any low-EQ questions such as "Have you not had dinner?", but casually extended an invitation to her: "This is the cream of mushroom stew and fresh yokan cooked by Miss Siesta. If you don't mind, would you like
Do you want to eat together, Sontaya?"
"This, this, how can this be so embarrassing?"
Songtaya felt that this was not good. She could not take advantage of the guests, but her body was not up to par. Her legs started to move on their own, and she moved to the foot of the tree step by step. She squatted down, and then lifted herself up skillfully.
He took out a bowl and spoon from the bamboo basket he came from, skillfully scooped up a bowl of still steaming thick soup for himself, and skillfully handed another spoonful to his mouth, with an expression of enjoyment on his young face:
"Wow~ It's so delicious! It's a hundred times better than Uncle Zach's cooking!"
Uncle Zach is the cook in the Wusu tribe, responsible for preparing food for the tribe. Due to the lack of supplies on the snowy mountains, the Wusu tribe still adopts a primitive collective distribution system, that is, all food collected and hunted is
The food is processed in a unified manner and then distributed to the tribesmen according to needs. Among them, the elderly, children, pregnant women and hunters will be allocated better and more food.
Songtaya is both a child and a tribal hunter. In theory, there is no shortage of food. Unfortunately, there are many necessary spices in the snowy mountains. As a result, after so long, the mountain people are still not good at their craftsmanship. The big pot rice model also destined them to be impossible.
She put too much effort into her cooking skills, which made Sontaya obsessed with the proprietress's craftsmanship. After eating it once, she would never go back.
Girl Xia Tuotuo put aside the dinner she brought, and then ate happily at the guests' food. Her eating appearance was particularly amazing, but she drank three bowls of hot soup in the blink of an eye. Linge sighed silently.
, then turned his head and couldn't bear to look anymore; Sister Livia's eyes were full of love and sympathy, probably thinking that Songtaya was living a very miserable life in the tribe; Xino, also in a caring spirit, picked up the
The fresh yokan that was also uneaten was all poured into the soup, which was regarded as an extra meal for the girl Shatoto. The lamb lay next to the owner and cast a contemptuous look at Sontaya, not that he disliked her for eating as a guest.
Food, but the way she eats it, reminds her of an old friend who is not very friendly...
Only Saint Xalia stretched out her hand gently but firmly, held down the hand of the girl Xia Tuotuo who wanted to hold the fourth bowl of soup, and said: "Suntaya, you can't eat any more."
"Ah?" The girl raised her head, looking confused.
"If you eat too much, your body will become sluggish. You will have to go down the mountain later. What if you have difficulty moving and encounter danger?" Saint Xalia thought for a while and cited specific examples to prove her point of view.
: "Alice once said that a mountain walker named Wu Song encountered a tiger in the forest and almost died because he did not abide by the rule of 'three bowls but no post'. So, you should also be careful.
Three bowls are not enough, do you understand?"
"..."X4
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt very cold and had the urge to sneeze. Is it because I was on a snow-capped mountain? It was definitely not because Saint Xalia suddenly told a very cold joke.
It took a while for Songtaya to react, and she patted her chest and vowed: "What are you afraid of? That mountain man named Wu Song is really inferior. He is just a tiger. If he dares to appear in front of me, I will kill him with one arrow."
Killed!"
However, Saint Xalia's dissuasion also made her realize that she was doing something greedy. She quickly took out the meals in the basket, placed them on the tablecloth and invited everyone to come and eat: "Come on, come on, let's eat together, you're welcome."
!Uncle Zach’s cooking skills are so good, this rat root fruit stew is his signature dish, don’t miss it~”
But you just disliked Uncle Zach's cooking skills. By the way, it's best not to use the term "proud creation" indiscriminately, as it may trigger some bad memories.
Seeing Songtaya inviting everyone to enjoy the special delicacies of the mountain people, but she secretly filled an extra bowl of cream of mushroom soup. After being speechless for a while, Linger had to cough lightly and pull her out of the eating state.
Then he asked about business: "Songtaya, regarding contacting the Wushan Hermitage, is there any progress recently?"
A week has passed since the last time he visited the Wusu tribe. There has been almost no news during this week, and the surveying and mapping work has not gone very smoothly, so Linger is calm on the surface, but actually he is still a little anxious inside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Ugh!"
Songtaya swallowed a mouthful of stew, blinked her light black eyes and thought for a while, then replied in an uncertain tone: "Probably, should, maybe there is progress?"
Probably? Should? Maybe?
It only took three words to make Linger frown, and Songtaya quickly explained: "I don't know the specific situation, but my father did contact the people from the Wushan Hermitage a few days ago.
He didn't come back until noon today, and he brought with him a very old-looking wooden box. After he came back, he discussed with Elder Ayina in the tent for a long time. I don't know what they said, but I guess I asked you to
That matter must be related."
After a week of contact, Songtaya no longer avoided the relationship between Chief Wilhelm and her. To be honest, Ringer didn't think this was something that needed to be avoided, but Chief Wilhelm's attitude might have
It was rather strict. Since Sontaya obeyed the orders of the tribal leader as a hunter, the authority and responsibilities of the superiors and subordinates must be clearly defined, so Sontaya could only call him daddy in private.
After listening to the description of the girl Xia Tuotuo, Linge thought thoughtfully. It seems that the negotiation between Chief Wilhelm and the Hermitage of Wushan has been successfully completed. What is stored in the wooden box may be the manuscript of the saint they need.
.It’s just that for such an important thing, the Wushan Hermitage would rather have Chief Wilhelm deliver it on their behalf than send someone to escort it. It seems that they are indeed very vigilant, even a bit frightened.
The Great Spiritual Envoy single-handedly disrupted the layout of the Witches' Association and stirred up the situation in the entire religious world. However, he ended up in his current situation as a price. I don't know if he ever regretted it in his heart.
This was not something that Ringer should be concerned about, so he quickly put the matter behind him and began to think about other issues: If nothing else happens, Chief Wilhelm should come tomorrow with the manuscript of the saint.
After looking for them and getting the manuscript, the progress of mapping the star map should be accelerated a lot. The young man hopes that it can be completed within two months. So, Alice's super robot cassette, and the Type Zero that was commissioned by Rorona.
The strengthening parts of the Arus must also be put on the process...
When Ringer came back from his thoughts, he realized that the pot of creamy mushroom stew in front of him had been completely destroyed, not even the bottom of the pot was left. Instead, those few traditional delicacies of the Shatoto people were completely gone.
It has not moved and is gradually cooling in the cold wind on the top of the mountain.
A certain culprit licked the corner of her mouth, looking like she was still unfinished. She seemed to be aware of Ringer's gaze, so she turned her head and showed a bright smile to everyone: "Hey, hey, here, the food is here, why don't you guys eat it?
ah?"
Then she stood up, patted the snow dust on her butt, and said with some guilt: "I, I won't disturb you anymore, I'm leaving first."
"No." Ringer said, "You can't leave."
"W-why is this?" Girl Xia Tuotuo looked a little panicked, maybe because she was afraid that Ringer would charge her food expenses.
But young people would not do such boring things. He pointed at Sister Livia who was sitting next to her and said directly: "This is Miss Livia. You didn't see her last time when you came to Cloud Whale Sky Island."
, but she is very interested in you and wants to chat with you."
"Eh? With me?"
"Yes." Livia nodded lightly. Although it was an excuse that the young man came up with temporarily, she did not expose it and continued following the topic: "I heard that Miss Songtaya is a believer of the Father of the Mountains. I am very fond of the mountain."
We are very interested in the teachings of the Civil Guard, so we would like to communicate with you, and I hope you will not find this invitation too abrupt."
Songtaya was a little surprised: "This beautiful big sister, are you also a believer in animism?"
Sister Livia pursed her lips and smiled: "I am a member of the True Spirit Sect and a follower of the Curse King Kenos. I believe in the theory of the 'Ring of Human Reason'. All wisdom will be limited to the scope of human power.
Once it is exceeded, it will bring disaster. This is the teaching of our True Spirit Sect, which may be different from the philosophy of your Holy Spirit Return Sect."
The so-called Holy Spirit Returnists refer to those radicals who believe in the spirits of all things in nature and try to gather the Holy Spirit with all spirits so that the great saint can return to the world as a god. It was originally just a theory that can be refined through rituals and refinements.
The leakage of magic seems to have made this theory possible in practice, so most animist believers began to switch to this faction, and moderates like the True Spiritists were in the minority.
In fact, even the True Spirit Sect almost embarked on this path under the wrong leadership of Mufasa the Convict. However, Sister Livia, who was once the Son of God, found her way back after being defeated by the Dark Witch Carabosse.
Abandoned that wrong approach and began to follow the true Holy Spirit - well, that is Metien.
However, it is difficult to completely abandon the deep-rooted beliefs since childhood. Therefore, Sister Livia today still believes in the concept of the "Circle of Humanity", but in addition, she has begun to have a deeper understanding of the Holy Goddess Religion.
It's just a doctrine. So you can think that half of her faith belongs to the Cursed King Kenos, and the other half of her faith belongs to the goddess. It's such a weird situation.
"Yes, really?" Songtaya's expression was stiff and her eyes were wandering, because she didn't know what the True Spirit Sect and the Holy Spirit Return Sect were at all: "It turns out that you are also a believer in animism. In that case,
You should discuss the doctrine with Dad and Elder Ayina, they know more than me."
"I think the piety of faith does not lie in the amount of knowledge, but in a pure and innocent heart." Sister Livia said: "I heard Mr. Ringer say that you are a simple and kind girl, so you must be in the Mountain Guards
He is also one of the most religious people. So I believe that communicating with you will be of great benefit to me."
Did I say this?
Ringer glanced at Livia, and the nun looked at her intently: Since you casually found an excuse for me, don't blame me for using you as a cover, Mr. Ringer.
The people of the blue sea and gold are sometimes stingy.
"Hey, I'm not as good as you said." He said this, but stopped in his steps honestly: "Speaking of which, what do you want to know? As long as it is related to Mr. Shanfu, I will tell you everything.
You know everything!"
She held her head high and looked like she wouldn't give up on anyone else.
Doesn't look very reliable.
"So," Sister Livia asked, "First of all, I would like to have a basic understanding of this great mountain god, such as his name. Can you explain it to me in detail?"
"This is simple! Let me tell you, the complete name of Lord Shanfu is: the father of the mountains, the origin of the great abyss, and the protector of the three valleys! Among them, the father of the mountains, of course, refers to him as the father of all the mountains in the world.
Mountains and the important position of the source of mountain peaks. Legend has it that Lord Mountain Father is the first mountain range since the creation of the universe. Other mountains and peaks were formed from his body. Until now, they are still formed in some special form.
Connected together. His roots go deep into the earth. Once they move, they will cause the mountains to shake. Therefore, they are always sleeping and will not wake up. The origin of the Great Abyss is also easy to understand. The mountain people have a saying: It’s cold.
Only when the mountain is high can one think of making fire, and when the mountain is high, one can see the abyss. This means that while the mountain is rising upward, it is also extending downward. Therefore, the mountain father is not only the ancestor of the mountains, but also created the concept of height and gap.
He is the origin of all cliffs, cliffs and great abyss invisible to the naked eye; the last protector of the three valleys is even simpler, referring to the three types of terrains closely related to the mountains: valleys, canyons and river valleys.
All life nurtured in this terrain, all climates formed, and even human activities are all under the witness and blessing of Lord Shanfu..."
