This enthusiastic Sister Wang is obviously a talkative person, and she talks about a lot of things.
Without Su Keke and Yin Shaoli asking any questions, Sister Wang told them everything they wanted to know and everything they didn't want to know.
Every household of the villagers here worships a statue of a god, which they call the mountain god of Goda Village.
It is said that the appearance of the statue was carved by the old people in the village according to the appearance of the mountain god when the mountain god appeared a long time ago, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.
However, Su Keke looked at the male and female statue with long yellow hair, his expression serious.
This was not any god in her impression, nor was it a depraved false god like the Formless God.
Sister Wang mentioned the mountain god enshrined in their Goda Village and praised him as omnipotent, with a look of awe and admiration on his face, just like Su Keke would continue to praise him if he didn't believe it.
In the end, both Su Keke and Yin Shaoli had to pretend to be very respectful to prevent her from continuing to flatter her.
"...Girls, eldest sister tells you that it's a good time for you. Tomorrow is a big day in our Goda Village that happens every five years. The mountain god chooses the envoy..."
When Su Keke heard the word "god envoy", his expression almost tensed up.
According to Sister Wang, the ancestors of her village have been worshiping this mountain god for nearly three hundred years.
Since worshiping the mountain god, Gedao Village has had good weather every year, with no drought or floods, and has abundant food and clothing every year.
Even when there was war outside, the flames of war did not reach here.
Choosing a divine envoy is an old tradition in Goda Village, but at that time it was done once every ten years.
Later, the population of Gedao Village increased, and the villagers learned that there was a shortage of slaves in the mountain temple, so they took the initiative to change the schedule to once every five years.
If the mountain god is satisfied with the new envoy, the mountain god will send the previous envoy back the next day. If not, the previous envoy will not come down from the mountain, and the mountain god will send a slave back.
This also shows that the last divine envoy was still the divine envoy, and the new one was left in the mountain temple as a new slave.
As the envoy of the mountain god, the mountain god occasionally wants to convey something to the villagers. He will not show up in person, but sends an envoy to communicate with them.
Therefore, in the eyes of the villagers, the divine envoy is a very noble existence second only to the mountain god.
For this reason, Gada Village regards the five-year envoy selection ceremony as very important.
Basically, we start looking for candidates for the God Envoy a year in advance.
Based on the experience passed down from ancestors over the past three hundred years, the villagers have already figured out the preferences of the mountain god.
This divine envoy must first be strong, the stronger the better, and secondly, he must be good-looking, at least with good facial features.
If you are too ugly, even if you become a slave, it will stain the eyes of the mountain god.
Therefore, the basic requirements for choosing a divine messenger in the village are very clear. They must be between 18 and 30 years old. Men in this age group are the best.
If you are too young and not strong enough, if you are too old and cannot do the work, the mountain god will not be satisfied either.
Because of the old tradition of choosing gods, Goda Village, like many backward villages, favors boys over girls, and this is especially serious.
They cultivate boys' physical strength from an early age, especially those who have good looks when they are young, and will be cultivated by the family.
If a boy from a certain family is lucky enough to be chosen as an angel when he grows up, and one of them achieves enlightenment, a chicken, or a dog, and ascends to heaven, their family will become prosperous. At least within five years of becoming an angel, the son will become particularly obedient, and he will get whatever he asks for.
The villagers regarded this as a favor from the mountain god to the envoy.
When Su Keke heard this, she looked at the envious look on Sister Wang's face and felt quite complicated.
"Sister Wang, will these divine envoys really be released? Are there any abnormalities after they come back? For example...short lifespan?"
Su Keke actually wanted to ask directly whether these so-called divine envoys would suddenly die suddenly after being released.
She was a little suspicious that the mountain god worshiped by the villagers in Goda Village was some kind of yang-sucking ghost.
When Sister Wang heard this, she hurriedly said, "The mountain god is a god. The purpose of choosing envoys is to facilitate communication with us. These envoys selected by the mountain god have great fortunes. Others can't ask for them. How is it possible?"
Short life?
My husband's great-grandfather was fortunate enough to be a divine messenger for ten years. He was the only divine messenger in our village who served two consecutive terms. He lived longer than others, living to be a hundred and ten years old!
Girl, don’t slander the mountain god, be careful of the mountain god getting angry..."
Su Keke quickly pretended to be worried about saying the wrong thing.
Sister Wang consoled her: "It's okay, it's okay. Our mountain god in Goda Village is very kind and won't get angry easily. But in the future, please don't say such disrespectful words."
Su Keke nodded repeatedly, "I won't say anything anymore. But Sister Wang, I'm really curious, do these people who come back have no influence at all? Are they exactly the same as before?"
Sister Wang thought for a while, then lowered her voice and said: "It's not that there is no impact at all.
No matter whether it is the former envoys who were sent back or the elderly servants, they can't remember what happened in the mountain temple. But everyone doesn't care about this. It's for their own good that the mountain god doesn't let them remember.
People talk nonsense after coming down the mountain..."
In the subsequent chat, Su Keke learned a lot more.
For example, in the past, the mountain god chose the envoys in early spring and early autumn, when the weather was the best and neither cold nor hot. But this year, for some unknown reason, the time was advanced by more than a month.
Su Keke and Yin Shaoli looked at each other.xdw8
No matter why, the person they are looking for is on the mountain. Even if there are really powerful ghosts on the mountain, they must go up and have a look.
The two planned to stay one night at the home of the enthusiastic Sister Wang.
Sister Wang thought the two were lovers, so she made a big bed for them and took out a big red quilt from the cabinet.
"There are several beds like this in the house. You can cover them with this one."
Su Keke and Yin Shaoli looked embarrassed.
After listening to the explanation, you, Sister Wang, realized that you had misunderstood.
"...Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you two were a couple because of your talent and beauty. We can only spare this bed at home, otherwise, why don't you just stay at Aunt Liu's house next door?"
Yin Shaoli nodded: "Thank you, eldest sister. I'll spare your trouble. I'll say a few words to her and then go over."
After Sister Wang left, Yin Shaoli immediately asked Su Keke: "Do you want to take action tonight?"
Su Keke shook his head, "Do I seem to be such a reckless person? Wu Yanxiedao is also quite capable, but he hasn't left the mountain for so long. In all likelihood, he was trapped up there by something in the mountain temple.
Let’s not act rashly. Tomorrow is a good opportunity. Let’s go up the mountain with the team that sent the envoy to explore the truth.”
Yin Shaoli couldn't hide his admiration in his eyes, "I think so too. Tomorrow I will dress up as the new divine envoy and go up the mountain."
