Chapter 436 Alternate Saintess!Shouzhe turns the clouds and makes the rain (ask for a monthly ticket)
……

Gu God Village.

As the political and cultural core of the Barbarian Gu clan, the Gu God Village has a very large area, almost ten times the size of an ordinary small Gu Village. Little is little, and there is a huge gap in scale.

The resident population in the Gu God Village is also 10,000+, which is far from the average Gu Village.

Even in normal times, guests from other villages often come to this village, and the circulation of goods is very frequent. There are also special markets and trading points in the village, which seems to have the appearance of a city.

Recently, as the day of the celebration was approaching, guests continued to arrive in the village, and it became even more lively than usual. During the day, people came and went, and there was a feeling of buzzing.Even if the army outside has been overwhelming, it can't stop this enthusiasm.

In more than ten days, it will be the day when the quasi-sage Jing officially succeeds the saint and pays homage to the ancestors.For the Barbarian Gu clan, this is an extremely important day, and it is a rare celebration, so we must prepare well.

Therefore, the men, women and children in the village started to act early in the morning.

The altar in the center of the village is naturally the most important.

This altar used to worship ancestors has a very long history, and it has been in use since the Gu God Village was moved here.The blue-gray stone has become mottled and old after years, and it looks extraordinarily deep and solemn.

On the altar, there are tall totem poles.

At this moment, an old man in the village is carrying a paint bucket, patiently and meticulously redrawing the totem on the pole with bright paint bit by bit, bringing the ancient totem pole back to life.

On the altar, there are also some dark-skinned lean men who are cleaning the altar over and over again, making sure that every stone crack is as clean as new without any dust.

Farther away, some men were carrying items and rearranging the altar under the command of the elders of the clan.

Unlike the tall and fair girls, the men of the Mangu tribe generally look much thinner, and their skin tends to be darker. Compared with the energetic girls, they appear much less handsome.

However, men and women have tattoos more or less on their bodies.

In the bamboo building next to the altar, a group of girls were busy removing the old and gray decorations in the bamboo building, scrubbing them clean, or replacing them with new ones.

This bamboo building is a large-scale bamboo building rarely seen by the barbarians. No matter in height or area, it is many times larger than ordinary bamboo buildings. .

There is no doubt that its owner is the saint or son of the barbarian Gu clan.This title is a title with a long history.

It's just that the barbarian Gu clan has no way to step into Lingxu for the time being, so the saintess and saint son are empty positions.

As the residence of the saint, the material of this bamboo building is not ordinary bamboo, but a special species of spiritual bamboo, which has many spiritual effects.Every spirit bamboo in it has been treated with special techniques, even though it has been used for many, many years, it does not show the slightest staleness.

At this moment, several girls are holding bamboo baskets, taking out exquisitely cut clip art pieces from inside and pasting them on the pillars, doors and windows of the bamboo building.

This is also one of the customs of the Man Gu tribe.

The cutouts on the clip art are the Six Gods Gu worms in the ancient legends of the clan. It is said that they are super powerful Gu worms bred by the great power of the ancestors. survive.

Every celebration, some old people will cut some and paste them on the doors and windows to pray for disaster relief, ask for the blessing of ancestors, and add to the festive atmosphere by the way.

"Have you heard?" A girl suddenly said, "Yesterday, the quasi-sage girl and several elders went to the grandma of the saint to file a complaint, accusing the quasi-sage Jing of colluding with outsiders, betraying our Holy Gu clan, and saying She harbored evil intentions, and she was uneasy and kind from the beginning, and she was a lackey of the big boss. The commotion was quite loud."

Dagan people call the Man Gu clan, but the Man Gu clan naturally call themselves the Holy Gu clan.

"You said that there was a lot of commotion, didn't you hear it? My dad went to watch the excitement yesterday~" Another girl gave her a blank look, "If you want me to say, the former saintess Ya just watched I don't know the situation. Didn't she just want to use this incident to overthrow the quasi-sage Jing, and take the opportunity to replace her and become the new saint? But she doesn't think about it, how much the quasi-sanctuary has done for us after she came What? How many troubles have you helped us solve?"

"When the quasi-sage Jing first came, so many elders objected to the concubine's taking her in, aren't they all convinced now? Who would believe that the quasi-sage Jing harbored evil intentions? Anyway, I don't believe it."

"That's right." The other girl was also a little dissatisfied, "The date of the ceremony has been fixed, and Ya has not given up yet, and she still thinks that she is that high-ranking quasi-saint. She doesn't even look at it, except for the elder Ga and that How many hardcore conservatives, and how many elders are willing to support her?"

The quasi-saint Jing they were talking about was naturally Wang Luojing, Wang Shouzhe's fifth younger sister.

Since decades ago, she has come to the Barbarian Gu clan.As a powerful person, she naturally struggled at the beginning. Many people from the Barbaric Gu tribe looked at him with colored glasses and were always wary of her. Even joining the current saint's sect had experienced many twists and turns.

But over the past few decades, thanks to her efforts, the development of the Mangu tribe has become faster and faster, and everyone's life has become better and better. Everything has shown a trend of prosperity, and everyone's views on her have naturally changed. .

Moreover, because she has always been friendly and has no airs, she is not as lofty as the former quasi-sage girl, and she often teaches the children in the village some useful knowledge. Over the past few decades, ordinary villagers have accumulated Gained a high reputation.

Not to mention anything else, just these little girls who came to help decorate the bamboo house under the arrangement of the elders, ran around behind Wang Luojing back then.One word from Wang Luojing may be more effective than their own parents.

Although, recently, due to the large-scale army's oppression, some people in the village were panicked, and some people began to question Zhun Shengnvjing's position, but they always firmly believed that Zhun Shengnvjing would not abandon them.

"However, although I firmly believe that the quasi-sage Jing will not betray us. But my father said that the biggest problem now is not who will be the saint, but that Dagan is obviously determined to conquer southern Xinjiang, and it will not be easy. Give it up. But our strength is obviously not as good as Dagan, and we will definitely suffer heavy losses in a fight, and many people will die... And when the time comes, Ya may take the opportunity to make trouble again..." The girl frowned as she spoke. He frowned, a little worried.

Seeing this, another girl comforted her and said, "I don't quite understand what you are talking about. But I believe that no matter what the problem is, Zhun Shengnvjing will definitely find a solution. She didn't solve all the difficulties before. Is it? It will definitely work this time."

"Can this be the same?" The girl gave her a blank look.

"Why do you think so much? Those are things that big people should worry about, and we little people can't get involved. You'd better do the things at hand first, the stickers are all crooked." There were two girls He was passing by with a bamboo basket, and when he heard their conversation, he couldn't help but read a few words.

Inside their bamboo baskets are small copper bells, made in the shape of insects, very delicate.It was a worm bell, and it was also used in celebrations.According to ancient legends, the lines carved on insect bells can be used to communicate with ancestors.

While speaking, one of the girls had deftly climbed onto the eaves and started hanging insect bells under the eaves.

Hearing this, the girl with the sticker quickly straightened the crooked sticker, and then retorted unconvinced: "Aren't I worried about the future of the quasi-sage Jing and our Holy Gu clan? Don't you guys worry?"

"Is it your turn to worry?"

The status of the women of the Mangu tribe is very high, and the girls' personalities are naturally aggressive, so they are not the ones who can suffer.When the two sentences didn't agree, the two girls started to fight with their arms akimbo.

The other girls were busy trying to persuade the fight, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

"Cough cough~~"

While they were arguing, a coughing sound suddenly came from the side.

The girls were startled, only to realize that there was a nun in black standing behind them at some point.

The nun had a beaded hat on her head, gold earrings in her ears, and several jeweled bracelets on her wrists.In the barbarian Gu clan, only Gu masters with high status would dress like this.

"Auntie Aya."

The little girls evidently knew her.

This is the nanny next to the saint's grandmother, and she is also very powerful, and she is a powerful Gu master.

At that moment, they also realized what mistake they had made, so they quickly shrank their necks and admitted their mistake obediently.

"I'm sorry, Sister Aya, we shouldn't be arguing here, disturbing the meditation practice of the holy lady and the quasi-sacred lady. We know we're wrong. I'm sorry~"

"Okay~ Go and get the punishment yourself~" Mammy Aya shook her head, waved her hand and drove the person away.

"Oh~"

The little girls had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

"These kids~~hey~~"

Sister Aya sighed, and couldn't help turning her head to look at the bamboo building behind her.

The Holy Maiden and His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden Jing have been talking behind closed doors for a long time, and they don't know how the conversation is going.This time with a large army, the life and death of the Holy Gu Clan depended on the thought of these two.

Hope everything will turn out well~
……

at the same time.

Inside the bamboo building where the saint lived.

"It is said that a long, long time ago, our holy Gu people were still in a wild state and didn't know how to raise Gu insects. We lived hard all day long surrounded by poisonous insects and beasts, and lived in fear every day. I was terrified. Maybe when I opened my eyes, my husband and child were dead.”

A woman dressed gorgeously and decorated with various mysterious symbols on her black clothes murmured in a slightly hoarse voice, "Until one day, the Gu God came to this mountain, and He gave our people to raise Gu insects." The ability, and left a legacy of the Holy Gu [Ceremone] and the "Holy Gu True Law."

"And our clansmen learned how to control the poisonous insects and strange Gu, and gained the ability to hunt and kill fierce beasts. Gradually, the holy Gu people spread out and occupied a vast territory"

The woman in the Chinese dress had mottled hair and a low voice, as if she was old.But there are no wrinkles on the face, and it still looks a little young.However, from her face to her neck, she has many mysterious tattoos, making her look mysterious and dangerous.

This is the saintess of the contemporary Shenggu people—Saintess Dai.

On her shoulder, there is a two-foot-long silkworm lazily lying white and fat. Its cute eyes are a little bored, and it is half asleep and half awake. Gu worms are just like that. , which is dormant most of the time.

This is exactly the Holy Gu that has been passed down from generation to generation by the people of the Holy Gu tribe—[Ceremonial Silkworm]. According to legend, the Celestial Silkworm will be reborn every time it dies.And under the nourishment and sacrifice of today's saintess or gu sage, it quickly reached the stage of ninth-level Gu worms.

It is also because of this that the inheritance of the Holy Gu family has never been cut off.

And not far behind Saintess Dai, a young woman also wearing a black Gu Master skirt, slightly bowed her head and listened quietly without saying a word.

She is Wang Luojing, the fifth younger sister of Wang Shouzhe, the contemporary patriarch of the Wang family in Changning.

Wang Luojing's figure is slightly petite and exquisite, and her handsome and pure face is more cute than charming. If it is changed to the earth with a little grooming, it will look like a middle school girl.

But in fact, she is already 120 years old.It is precisely because of the relatively fast cultivation speed that the body functions have been maintained in a very young state.

Ever since she gained a lot in the recruit training camp of the Shenwu Dynasty and successfully promoted her bloodline to the middle rank of the Great Tianjiao B, Wang Luojing's cultivation speed has improved by leaps and bounds.

Today, her cultivation base has been promoted to the eighth floor of the Heavenly Human Realm, and it is only a matter of time before she is in the Purple Mansion Realm.

Her state of mind is different from that of the Mangu tribe, and she is unwilling to get all kinds of tattoos on her body to increase her fighting power.

"Luo Jing." The saintess Dai turned to look at Wang Luojing, a strange gleam flashed in her deep eyes, "Do you know why I am willing to support you as the next saint?"

"Sacred lady." Wang Luojing said in a low voice, "You are looking at it for the sake of my late master Zhou Changfeng,"

"No, when I was a quasi-saint, I was already criticized when I accepted Changfeng, a great cadre, as a disciple. Unexpectedly, after Changfeng became a little bit stronger, while I was in seclusion to accept the inheritance of supernatural powers, I was killed by the traitor Wa Bak He stole half of my "Sacred Gu True Law" with the help of his secret help." The saintess Dai sighed and said, "It also caused me to be furious, and half of the inheritance failed. He also caused me to be unable to break through so far. The chief culprit of the supernatural powers. So I am only over 600 years old, and I have to undergo an inheritance change."

"It stands to reason that I will never be able to forgive him in my life. However, the letter he wrote on his deathbed explained the reason, and he has spent his whole life in poverty because of this. He can make atonement for his sins without even breaking through the realm of heaven and man."

"It is already magnanimous for me to forgive him and accept you as a disciple."

Wang Luojing said calmly, "What does Her Majesty the Holy Maiden mean...?"

"It's just like the story I just told." The saint Dai said with a sigh, "We, the Holy Gu clan, are now facing the same predicament that our ancestors experienced."

"It's just that the ancestors faced poisonous insects and fierce beasts back then. But now, what we are facing is the more powerful Daqin and Dagan. Daqin is better now, and the border of the territory is still separated from our Holy Gu clan by the miasma." The pervasive mountains, but sooner or later they will reach us."

"And Dagan is extremely warlike, and his territory and strength are expanding very fast. Especially this generation of Emperor Longchang, who has great ambitions for expansion. After annexing the most fertile land of our Shenggu clan, he is not satisfied. Trying to completely conquer our Holy Gu clan."

"Every time we resist, at least hundreds of thousands of outstanding clansmen will die on the battlefield."

Wang Luojing was silent, although she felt a little sympathetic to the Holy Gu clan.But the rules of this world are like this, the strong will continue to expand their territory, or conquer or annex the weak.

Daqian's huge land area today was indeed conquered bit by bit.In fact, if Dagan cannot strengthen itself, sooner or later it will be annexed by the Southern Qin and Western Jin.

"Luo Jing, the reason why I support you as a saint is because you brought not only Zhou Changfeng's letter, but also a letter from your Wang family and Wang Shouzhe." The saint Dai said calmly, "Just as the saint At the most critical moment of the Gu Clan, the Lord Gu God came to change the fate of the Holy Gu Clan. And it is time for the Holy Gu Clan to change."

"Your Wang family and today's Emperor Zi'an are indeed different from Emperor Longchang and other Dagan people. They have kept their original promises, and in just a few decades, they have brought earth-shaking changes to the Shenggu clan. I saw the real way out for the future of the Holy Gu Clan."

"Your Highness, I understand." Wang Luojing said calmly, "Don't worry, whether it's me or my fourth brother, they will bring new life to the Holy Gu clan in different positions, enjoy long-term peace, and Common prosperity and common development.”

Saintess Dai nodded.

In fact, she has not been idle in the past few decades, and has been paying attention to the great changes that the Wang family has brought to the Holy Gu clan.At the same time, many of the Gu masters who accepted Wang's organization to "work" were hers.

She learned about what Wang Shouzhe had done bit by bit, and luckily in the end.

Wang's and Wang Shouzhe's reputation is very good, and they have various advantages in that they will develop and work hard together with their allies.

Similarly, Di Zi'an's reputation and reputation are also excellent, which made her feel at ease.

It is also for various reasons that prompted Saintess Dai to make up her mind, unite with many heavyweight Gu elders, and finally support [Quasi-Saint Jing], and lead the Saints to a new future for the next generation of saints .

If it were Emperor Longchang or King Kang Jun who would carry out this plan, she would never dare to gamble like this.Wang Shouzhe was right. Before Emperor Longchang died, there must be a battle between the Shenggu clan and Dagan. At that time, it will not end well.

The current situation is the optimal solution for the Holy Gu Clan.

"Your Highness, my fourth brother sent a letter." Wang Luojing took out a letter and handed it over, and said in a low voice, "He said that the time is ripe, and the net can be collected according to the plan."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see." Saintess Dai's eyes showed a hint of determination, she firmly believed that this was the best choice for the entire Holy Gu clan.Besides, she already had to agree.

If she dares to break the contract, she will not accept Wang Luojing as a saint, or if she does not follow the plan.The [-]-strong army like tigers and wolves outside will flatten the Gu God Village in an instant.

……

Time flies.

Ten days passed in a flash.

The army of the Dagan Kingdom quietly entrenched hundreds of miles away from the Gu God Village.

This put tremendous pressure and threat on the entire Barbarian Gu clan.

The envoys of the two sides come and go, as if they have to run many times a day, negotiating with each other, trying to reach an agreed goal.

today.

It is the day when the saintesses of the Gu God Village passed on.

The inside of the Gu God Village was filled with joy, and it was "forgotten" for the time being. The shadow of war hanging over the head was immersed in the atmosphere of the festival.

In front of the altar.

The bamboo platform for viewing the ceremony of the inheritance ceremony has been set up.There are already crowds of people around, but they are all onlookers, and they have no place to sit.

Different from the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the Dagan Royal Ceremony, the Holy Gu clan is obviously much more relaxed, and there is a custom of participation by all the people.

The big figures of the Holy Gu clan arrived one after another and were led to sit on the bamboo platform to watch the ceremony.

They are all important ruling class of the entire Holy Gu clan, and the weakest ones are Gu masters in the middle and late stages of the Heavenly Human Realm.

According to the tradition of the Sheng Gu tribe, they are people with many rune tattoos.

Soon, there were dozens more people on the bamboo platform for watching the ceremony.

Afterwards, Gu elders appeared one by one.Only Gu masters who are equivalent to Daqian Zifu realm monks are qualified to serve as Gu elders. Each of them is a big figure in the Holy Gu clan, and the power in their hands can also influence the direction and future of the Holy Gu clan.

Although the entire Holy Gu clan is much worse than it was at its peak, it still has a total of seventeen Gu elders.

From the two quasi-saints, the successor to a saint was selected by the vote of the seventeen Gu elders.Among them, the quasi-saint Jing won the support of nine Gu elders and the saint Dai, and was successfully elected as the next saint.

After Elder Gu appeared one after another, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more solemn.

Among them, the appearance of Elder Gu Laoga and the eliminated quasi-sage girl Ya are particularly eye-catching.

Elder Ga is one of the elders with the highest status in the Holy Gu Clan, and the original quasi-sage girl Ya is a very outstanding descendant of his lineage, who has shown incomparable talent since childhood.

Before the quasi-Saint Jing appeared, everyone thought that Ya would definitely succeed the next generation of Saintess. After all, Saintess Dai failed half of her succession at the beginning. If she couldn't be promoted to Gu Saint, she must abdicate early.

But what the elders Ga and Ya never expected was that the sudden emergence of [Jing] finally won the right to succeed the saint by virtue of her merits and the full support of the saintess Dai.

This can be seen.

The elder Ga and the former quasi-virgin Ya are definitely not in a good mood at the moment.When they walked in, their faces were all black, and their tattoos became more colorful.

"Yo, isn't this Ga?" Elder Chan, who had always been at odds with Elder Ga, said sarcastically, "I thought you wouldn't be here today."

Elder Chan is an old woman who has always been against Ga because of her power and historical reasons.This time, she is also a strong supporter of the quasi-Saint.

"Humph!"

Elder Ga's eyes became even more gloomy, "Perhaps Master Tiancan dislikes the blood of foreign races and is unwilling to pass it on."

"Hahaha, just dream about it, the bloodline of the quasi-sage Jing is very strong and pure, and she is not a foreigner at all." Elder Chan said with a smile, "Besides, the saint Dai has already asked Lord Tiancan for her opinion. The adults have long expressed their love for Jing."

The opinion of the Holy Gu Heavenly Silkworm is naturally very important. Relatively speaking, the Holy Gu Heavenly Silkworm likes Jing more, which may be because Jing's blood talent is much stronger.

If it is a Gu master who is not even willing to accept the holy Gu, how can it be possible to get the support of many Gu elders?

"Humph!"

The elder snorted coldly, just when he was about to refute a few words.

But I didn't want to, there was another long shout from outside the viewing platform: "Dagan'Dizi'an' has arrived."

Dizian?
The "ordinary big shots" who didn't know the inside story were shocked and discussed.

"Why did Emperor Zi'an come here?"

"It should be that Saintess Dai and Gu Elders discussed and invited them to watch the ceremony."

"He is so courageous, isn't he afraid that we will rush up and kill him, so as to solve the predicament of the army's pressure?"

"Idiot, if Di Zi'an is killed, our Holy Gu clan will be buried with the whole clan."

However, they only dared to say these things when Di Zi'an was still far away.

When Di Zi'an and a group of guards approached, the surroundings were suddenly silent.Emperor Zi'an, who was dressed in armor, received countless looks of hatred, awe, or admiration.

Dressed in white, Wang Shouzhe, who is elegant and looks like a banished fairy, is a few steps behind Emperor Zi'an, unwilling to steal the limelight.

But even so.

Many young women onlookers cast admiring glances at Di Zi'an and Wang Shouzhe, and among them, there were even more whispers about Wang Shouzhe.

"That young man in white is so handsome."

"It's over, I really want to marry him, what should I do?"

"That son must be a big shot, how could he have a crush on you."

"Even one night's sleep is fine."

"Then let's gather some sisters later, and when the celebration is over, we'll rush forward, even if we get a handful, it's worth it."

The barbaric Gu women are much more open-minded than Dagan.Especially in this kind of rare celebration festival, it is very normal for men and women to look at each other and do something.

Even whispers fell into the ears of Di Zi'an, Wang Shouzhe and others.There is no way, the strength is too strong, unless it is specially isolated and shielded with divine sense, it will be difficult not to hear.

Just when they were not taking it seriously, a "senior guard" covered in armor behind him said in an old and teasing voice: "Hehehe, a little boy like Shouzhe is indeed very popular with women of other races." Ah. If you want to save some romantic affairs, feel free to do so, and I promise I won't sue Ruo Lan."

Wang Shouzhe rolled his eyes angrily. The closer Emperor Longchang was to retirement, the more playful he became.After staying in Wang's for a long time, he began to be very quiet again, insisting on going out with him to play.

What do you say to witness the thorn in your heart being pulled out, so that you can quietly abdicate.

If you have the ability, you can fight by yourself?What is it to pretend to be a guard?
Now the entire Wang family, that is, Ruo Lan, An Ye, and Li Xian, can still listen to a few words.

Sigh~ The behavior of the old naughty boy is really a headache.

However, Wang Shouzhe did not want Emperor Longchang to come because of his selfish intentions, and others were not afraid of him, except that he would cry.

　You see, do I still have hope for a monthly pass of 13000? ^_^
