The old woman glanced at everyone and said, "It's getting late, let's go in."
The woman named Nijiu bowed to her, led everyone into the valley ahead, and gradually disappeared.
After they walked in, the fourth elder walked straight to a row of wooden houses outside the valley.
There were more than ten figures in the largest wooden house, and the eighth elder was among them. He glanced at the fourth elder and turned away with a gloomy expression.
The rest of the people were both men and women. An old man looked at her and asked: "The fourth pulse came so late, must you have got the love Gu?"
The fourth elder glanced at him and said, "I don't need the second elder to worry about it."
Another old woman snorted coldly and said, "I really thought that if I got the Love Gu, I would be able to get the position of Saintess. It's not certain who will win and who will lose!"
The battle for the Holy Girl is a major event between Wan Gu Sect and Qiandi. During this period of time, the ten elders will stay here, waiting for the final result.
Although all of them have reached a consensus that a saint must be selected as soon as possible to reunite the collapsed Wan Gu Sect, who to choose as the saint is still a matter of endless dispute among them.
The Saint is the core of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect and the absolute leader within the sect. There is no doubt which lineage will compete for the position of the Saint. In the days to come, which lineage will be the first of the ten lines.
No one is willing to give up this opportunity to others.
Several people exchanged some sarcastic words. Suddenly someone looked around and asked in surprise: "Why don't you see Ou Xin?"
Ou Xin is the ninth elder. The ten elders are gathered here, but Ou Xin is the only one missing.
On such an important occasion, it is extremely unbelievable that one of the ten elders is absent.
Someone said: "When the people from the Ninth Meridian entered the forest, they had not seen her. It is said that they were in seclusion to learn the art of Gu. They have not been out of seclusion for three months."
The reason for the Ninth Elder's absence was explained, and everyone stopped talking about the matter. They were already wary of each other, and even under the same roof, they didn't have much communication.
The old woman just now came in from outside and nailed a piece of cloth to the wall.
There are ten pieces of cloth like this on the wall, and each piece has eleven names written on it, including a candidate for the saint and ten guardians of the saint.
If a certain candidate eventually becomes a true saint, these ten people will be the top leaders of the church, and it is not impossible for them to become the top ten elders in the future. Of course, the premise is that they can survive in the Ten Thousand Gu Forest.
Because the mission of these ten people is to protect the candidate saints and become real saints. For this task, they can sacrifice anything, including their lives.
In fact, over the years, there have been battles for the Saint, and the guardians have sacrificed their lives for it, and even the whole army has been wiped out. It has often happened.
Whether those candidates for the saint can defeat their opponents in the Ten Thousand Gu Forest and have the last laugh, these ten saint guardians play a vital role.
Therefore, for these ten guardians, each lineage will send out the strongest lineup in the tribe. For other lines, they are not only concerned about who the other party's candidate saint is, but also very concerned about the person who is the guardian of the other party's saint.
care.
If the top ten elder-level Gu Dao masters are mixed in, it will be a fatal blow to the other veins.
Because of this, they established the rule that the age of the guardian should not be older than thirty.
"There are actually two guardians of the third lineage who have been promoted to blue clothes. They are only eighteen years old..."
"So what, the seventh channel also has two people."
"The saint chosen by the tenth lineage...is a Han Chinese?"
…
Looking at the name on the cloth, someone seemed to have noticed something unusual. After everyone gathered around to take a look, they all frowned and looked at a figure in the corner, that was the elder of the tenth meridian.
"She just used a Chinese name. What's weird about that?" The tenth elder glanced at the fourth elder and said, "Isn't there someone named Tang Ningning in Elder Xin Yi's lineage?"
The Gu tribe has the script and language of the Gu tribe, and their names are also different from those of the Han people. However, as the exchanges between the Gu tribe and the Han people deepen day by day, some of them will also give themselves a Han Chinese name.
Today, there are many Gu people with Han names, and Han names are gradually recognized in Guizhou.
Moreover, the Tenth Lineage has a close relationship with the former royal family of the Liang Kingdom, and there are countless people in their lineage who have taken Han names.
Everyone did not dwell too much on this issue, and the cabin soon became quiet.
In the corner, next to the tenth elder, a middle-aged woman frowned and said: "Tang Ningning..., could it be him?"
"You are confused, this is Qiandi, how could he be here?" Bai Jin glanced at Gongsun Ying, "Besides, how could a man become a woman?"
Gongsun Ying shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it..."
The ten elders on the side looked at Bai Jin and asked, "Sister, how sure are you of this matter?"
Bai Jin said: "She has ice silkworm Gu and a silver-threaded snake king on her body. When it comes to voodoo skills, no one can be her opponent. She is also surrounded by masters we have arranged for her to be in, so she is guaranteed to be foolproof..."
Outside the wooden house, several figures were guarding the valley. Their mission was to block anyone except the saint and the guardian from the door.
At a certain moment, one of them rubbed his eyes, looked at his companion next to him, and asked, "Did something pass just now?"
The person next to him glanced at him and said, "Where is there something?"
The man said: "I seemed to see some shadow passing by just now, and the pile of dead leaves also moved..."
Another person waved his hand and said, "Is it the wind?"
The man looked again and saw that the valley in front of him was empty and there was nothing. He shook his head and said, "Maybe..."
At this time, in the valley, the old beggar stepped on the thick dead leaves, curled his lips, and muttered: "What a useless place..."
Tangning squatted by the stream, washed his face, then stretched out his hand and caught a snake that jumped out of the water and tried to attack him.
"Don't throw it away." The old beggar came over, took it from his hand, skillfully took out the snake gall and threw it into his mouth.
He raised his head and took a sip of wine, looked at Tangning and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
It was Tangning's first time for an older girl to get on the sedan chair to compete for the saint. He looked at Nijiu and asked, "Did the fourth elder tell you what to do next?"
After Aduo translated Tangning's words, Nijiu looked at him with a complicated expression and said a few words.
A'duo looked at Tang Ning and said, "She said that the Fourth Elder didn't say anything and just asked her to listen to Brother Tang."
Tangning thought for a while and said, "Let's find a place to camp. If we don't go to them, they will come to us."
The method of selecting saints in the Ten Thousand Gu Sect has always been cruel, just like practicing Gu. Ten candidate saints enter the Ten Thousand Gu Forest, and only one can become a saint in the end.
The only way to become a saint is to defeat the other nine candidates.
Therefore, they don't actually need to do anything, and someone will naturally come to their door.
After Tang Ning and others went some distance deep, they planned to camp on the same spot and wait.
At the same time, there was a forest dozens of miles away from their camp.
Eleven figures were walking slowly in the forest. A girl looked behind her and said worriedly: "She won't catch up, right?"
"Don't worry." Another woman comforted: "With Sister Su here, even if she catches up, we won't be afraid."
The girl walked to the front, looked at a veiled woman in the front, and asked: "Sister Su, what should we do next?"
The woman stopped, looked around, and said, "Just stop here, they will come to you sooner or later..."
Her voice is so melodious that one can't help but feel a tingling sensation in one's bones.
Suddenly a breeze blew up in the forest, blowing up a corner of her veil, revealing half of her face that could enchant all living beings...
