Hong Yingtai said: "I know something about the Hongmuchuan. Over the years, our South Vietnam and the Tianxiang Kingdom have been quarreling over the fate of this place. But in fact, no one has real control over the Hongmuchuan. This
There are many ethnic groups in the area, and they are not convinced by each other. Everyone thinks that they are the real masters of Hongmuchuan. It was not until more than ten years ago that Huoshu City was controlled by the Hongyi tribe. At that time, the people who controlled Huoshu City were the Hongyi tribe.
The leader, Brother Ba, although Brother Ba is a member of the Hongyi tribe, he is considered generous and fair. He managed Huoshu City in an orderly manner. Because he was fair and just in his work, all the tribes were convinced by him, and they were at peace with each other when he was in office.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long." He paused at this point.
Hu Xiaotian listened eagerly and couldn't help asking: "What happened?"
Hong Yingtai clinked glasses with him, drank a glass of wine and said: "Brother Ba is one of the few people in the Hongyi tribe who has far-sightedness. He saw that Hongmuchuan will inevitably become the object of covetation by many parties due to its special geographical environment. With their own characteristics,
The clan's strength will inevitably not be able to establish itself on this land for a long time, and sooner or later it will be annexed by others, so he decided to look for a tree big enough to enjoy the shade from the surrounding forces, and finally he chose the Tianxiang Kingdom and decided to join."
Long Xiyue nodded. She had heard a little about this matter. Brother Ba took the initiative to contact Tianxiang Kingdom, but she didn't know why the matter went unsolved.
Hong Yingtai said: "Brother Ba personally went to Yefeng City in Tianxiang Kingdom two years ago. He actually made an appointment with the Queen Mother of Tianxiang Kingdom to have an alliance there. For some reason, Brother Ba missed the appointment, and later there was news that he was killed on the way.
, the murderer is unknown, and only Bage’s wife Ganuo escaped by chance at that time, while the rest of the warriors and their young daughters were all killed.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Who did it?"
Hong Yingtai said: "This matter is not clear. Some people say that Tianxiang Kingdom did it. Some people say that other tribesmen did not agree to defect to Tianxiang Kingdom so they killed them. Some people say that they encountered bandits on the way. However, there is no clear explanation so far.
It’s just that Brother Bager’s wife Ganuo married Brother Bagher’s brother Bacher soon after he returned. When Bacher took over his sister-in-law, he also took over Huoshu City.”
Hu Xiaotian nodded: "What kind of person is this Bacher?"
Hong Yingtai said: "He is cold-blooded and cruel. He has a violent temper. But the biggest advantage of this man is that he listens to his wife. If Ganuo hadn't stopped him, he would have had so much blood on his hands." After saying this, he put the hand in his hand.
Putting down the wine glass, he looked at Hu Xiaotian and said meaningfully: "Master Hu sacrificed the near and far away to return to his hometown through here. It seems that it was not just a whim."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Yingtai is dissatisfied. Since King Tianxiang gave Hongmuchuan to me, I will come here to see it."
Hong Yingtai said: "It is best not to take chestnuts from the fire. Why should Mr. Hu take risks for a chaotic land that is beyond the reach of the whip?" His words were indeed advice, but they also contained some private thoughts, although South Vietnam did not
He has the ability to control Hongmuchuan, but he doesn't want outsiders to get it. But with Hu Xiaotian's current strength, it should be impossible to control Huoshu City. He is obviously overly worried.
Xiao Ou heard the sound of gongs and drums downstairs and ran to the side to watch the excitement. Long Xiyue smiled apologetically and got up and followed.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Yingtai, I saw two pillars in front of the temple, and on each pillar there was a bird flying in the fire. I wonder what that means?"
Hong Yingtai said: "The bird of wisdom is the symbol of the goddess of wisdom and the god believed by the Hongyi people."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and thought to himself that Xiao Ou must be a member of the Hongyi tribe. He added, "Do the people of the Hongyi tribe have the habit of tattooing this wisdom bird on their bodies?"
Hong Yingtai laughed and said: "How is it possible? Only the spirit girl in the clan has such qualifications. As far as I know, the spirit girl must be appointed by the elders of the clan. The high priest of the temple is the current spirit girl."
Hu Xiaotian asked in a very gossipy manner: "Does the spirit girl have to remain a virgin for the rest of her life and cannot get married?"
Hong Yingtai said: "The spirit girl is not lifelong. She is designated from birth. When she is eight years old, she officially enters the temple and takes over the position of high priest. The original spirit girl will automatically abdicate. Each spirit girl will be in office for twenty years and serve as the high priest.
The priest begins to select the successor spirit girl in the twelfth year."
Hu Xiaotian said: "How long has the current high priest been the spirit girl?"
Hong Yingtai said: "It's already the eighteenth year."
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought that this meant that the high priest would abdicate in two years, and the spirit girl should have already been chosen.
Hong Yingtai said: "The successor spirit girl was originally the daughter of Brother Ba and Ganuo, but unfortunately they were also killed two years ago."
Hu Xiaotian felt more and more strange in his heart. Didn't Xiaoou have a tattoo of a wise bird on the back of his neck? She seemed to be about the same age as the missing spirit girl. Could it be that she was the daughter of Brother Ba and Ganuo? If that was the case, then maybe
There is a chance to capture Hongmuchuan.
Hong Yingtai saw Hu Xiaotian in a daze and wondered what he was thinking. He whispered: "Master Hu, Master Hu!"
After calling twice in a row, Hu Xiaotian came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Hearing what you said, I really want to go to the temple."
Hong Yingtai said: "Master Hu, you should give up this idea. The temple is the most sacred place for the Hongyi people, not to mention it is a fasting day."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I mean, I don't really want to go there."
After bidding farewell to Hong Yingtai and returning to Butterfly Garden, Hu Xiaotian quietly told Long Xiyue the news he had learned from Hong Yingtai. Long Xiyue said: "Didn't Xiaoou say that she was abandoned by her parents? What's more, she can't speak Hongyi at all.
In other words, she shouldn’t be some kind of spiritual girl.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "She is less than six years old now, and she was just over three years old when she disappeared. Two years can already make a child forget many things. She wanders around, and all the people she comes into contact with are Central Plains people.
It's normal to forget the language of one's own people. She said she was abandoned by her parents. She doesn't know what the real situation is. Maybe her parents abandoned her in order to protect her."
Long Xiyue said doubtfully: "It can't be such a coincidence."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not a coincidence, I asked, the tattoo on the back of her neck is called the Bird of Wisdom. Except for the spirit girl of the Red Yi tribe, no one else is qualified."
Long Xiyue still refused to accept this fact: "Maybe some people worship the bird of wisdom and have it tattooed on their bodies. The royal family also has many things that are prohibited for people to wear, but people also keep a lot of them privately."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm going to go to the temple to have a look. As long as I find the high priest, everything will be clear."
Long Xiyue said reluctantly: "Even if she is, what can you do? At such a young age, do you want to send her to the temple to be a spiritual girl?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Everyone has their own destiny. If she had not met us, she might have been wandering all her life. Destiny made her meet us because she wanted us to send her to her relatives. If she really
That spirit girl’s mother is still alive, so what right do we have to prevent the mother and daughter from reuniting?”
Long Xiyue bit her lips and said sadly: "Yes, no one can decide the fate of others, and we have no right. Xiaotian, I only ask you one thing. If Xiaoou doesn't want to be a spiritual girl, you
We must help her."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, being a spirit girl is not a bad thing. You don't have to live alone alone. It's just twenty years. They will learn a lot in these twenty years. When the term expires, they can naturally seek their own life."
" He saw the reluctance in Long Xiyue's heart, hugged her shoulders and comforted her: "Actually, it's just my guess now. Maybe I'm wrong."
Long Xiyue nodded, wishing that Hu Xiaotian had guessed wrong.
Hu Xiaotian said: "By the way, you must not reveal this matter to Senior Qiao before the matter is investigated."
Long Xiyue sighed quietly and said: "I understand, if everything is really guessed by you, Senior Qiao will definitely be reluctant to part with it." During these days, Qiao Fangzheng and Xiao Ou have already established a mutual affection for each other.
Sun Qingqing, I'm afraid Qiao Fangzheng has long been hard to leave Xiao Ou.
After nightfall, Hu Xiaotian left the Butterfly Garden alone. He knew the current environment. Every move they made when entering and leaving the Butterfly Garden should be under the surveillance of the other party, so he walked around the city and went to the crowded Jiangnan.
After wandering around the street, I left and headed to the temple.
On the roads surrounding the temple, tens of thousands of Hongyi people were kneeling and praying devoutly. Hu Xiaotian did not expect that there would be so many people after nightfall. He secretly sighed that the power of faith is really infinite. He walked around in a circle and finally found the southeast
There was an area of lush vegetation with no one around, so he sneaked in quietly. There was no road here, but Hu Xiaotian couldn't help it. He jumped between the trees and soon arrived outside the temple.
Hiding in the tree crown and looking up, I saw that the outer courtyard of the temple was also filled with Hongyi people kneeling and praying devoutly. They were so densely packed that there was no room for their feet to be inserted. Each person held a candle in their hand, and the dots of stars were really spectacular.
, but there are no such numerous candlelights in the inner garden of the temple. It seems that it is a retreat for the temple priests, and outsiders are not allowed to disturb it.
Hu Xiaotian noticed that there were no watchtowers around the temple. He found the tallest tree and flew through the air. His body flew silently in the air like a big bird. This Hu Xiaotian was also an expert and brave man. He prayed below.
There must be as many as ten thousand people, and he actually dared to pass over the heads of these people. Firstly, he had confidence in his flying skills. Secondly, he had some understanding of these believers and knew that these people were concentrating on praying.
, will not pay attention to anything outside at all.
Hu Xiaotian quietly landed in the shadow of the corner of the inner garden. Although it was only separated from the outside by a wall, it was a completely different world. The inner garden was empty. Looking up, there was no one in the huge courtyard.
Hu Xiaotian tiptoed inside and arrived in front of the courtyard gate. He heard footsteps coming closer and closer. He hurriedly hid behind the corner, but saw two women in white walking from the side door to the east. They were holding lanterns in their hands and behind them.
Followed by a pretty girl.
