Protect Our Patriarch

…

Gushen Village.

As the political and cultural core of the Barbarian Gu people, the area of ​​the Gushen Village is very large, almost ten times the size of the ordinary small Gu Village. Even the big Gu Village with tens of thousands of people is compared to this Gushen Village. There is a huge gap in scale.

The permanent resident population in Gushen Village is more than 100,000, which is far from the average Gu Village.

Even in normal times, this stockade often has guests from other stockades, and the circulation of materials is very frequent. In the stockade, there are special markets and trading points, and it looks like a city.

Recently, as the celebration day approached, the stockade continued to have guests coming, and it became even more lively than usual. People came and went in the daytime, and there was a feeling of humming. Even if the army outside is already overwhelmed by the army, it can't stop this enthusiasm.

More than ten days later, it will be the day when the quasi-saint Jing formally succeeds the saint and sacrifices to the ancestors. For the Barbarians, this is an extremely important day, and it is a rare celebration, and you must prepare well.

Therefore, the men, women and children in the stockade started to take action early in the morning.

The altar in the middle of the stockade is naturally the top priority.

This altar used to worship ancestors has a very long history and has been in use since the Gushen Village moved here. The blue-gray stone has become mottled and old over the years, looking extraordinarily deep and solemn.

On the altar stands a tall totem pole.

At this moment, there is an old man in the village carrying the paint bucket, using bright paint little by little, patiently and meticulously repainting the totem on the pillar, so that the ancient totem pole is revived.

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

Further afield, some men were carrying objects and rearranging the altar under the command of the elders of the clan.

Unlike tall and fair-skinned girls, the men of the Mangu tribe generally seem to be much thinner, and their skin tends to be darker. Compared with the glorious girls, they look much shaky.

However, men and women have some tattoos.

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

This bamboo building is a large-scale bamboo building that is rarely seen by the Mangu tribe. It is many times that of a normal bamboo building in terms of height and floor space, and the level of precision and complexity of the production is far from comparable to that of ordinary bamboo buildings. .

There is no doubt that its owner is the saint woman or son of the Mangu tribe. This appellation has a long history.

It's just that there is no way for the Barbarian Gu Clan to step into Lingxu further, so the saint woman and the saint child are empty positions.

As the residence of the saint woman, the material of this bamboo building is not ordinary bamboo material, but a special kind of spiritual bamboo, which has a lot of efficacious effects. Each of the spiritual bamboos has been treated with special techniques, and even if it has been used for many, many years, it does not show the slightest staleness.

At this moment, a few girls were holding bamboo baskets, and from inside they took out pieces of exquisitely cut clip art and pasted them on the pillars, doors and windows of the bamboo building.

This is also one of the customs of the Mangu tribe.

The clip art is cut from the six gods in the ancient legends of the clan. It is said that they are super powerful gu worms cultivated by the power of the ancestors. Each of them has the power to reach the sky and the earth, which can protect the people in the dangerous world. Stay alive.

During the celebrations, elderly people will cut some and paste them on the doors and windows for disaster relief and blessings, asking for the blessing of ancestors, and by the way, it can also increase the festive atmosphere.

"Have you heard?" a girl suddenly said, "Yesterday the former saintess and several elders went to the grandma of the saint to file a complaint, accusing the saint of colluding with outsiders and betraying our Saint Gu Clan, and said She hides evil intentions, and from the beginning she is uneasy and kind, and she is a running dog of the big gangsters. There is a lot of noise."

Dagan people call Barbarian Gu tribe, but Barbarian Gu tribe naturally calls themselves Saint Gu tribe.

"You said that the noise is very loud, haven't you heard of it? My dad went to watch the excitement yesterday~" Another girl gave her a blank look. I don’t know the situation. Doesn’t she just want to rely on this to take the opportunity to replace her and become the new saint? But she doesn’t want to think about how much she has done for us after she comes. What? How much trouble has it solved for us?"

"When Quasi-Saint-Jing first came, there were so many elders who opposed the grandmother of the saint taking her in. Now, don’t you all feel convinced? Who believes that Quasi-Saint-Jing is concealing evil? Anyway, I don’t believe it."

"Yeah." The other girl was also a little dissatisfied. "This festival is set. Ya hasn't given up on her heart yet, and she still considers herself the supreme quasi saint. She doesn't look at it either, except for Elder Ga and Na. How many **** conservatives, and how many elders are willing to support her?"

The quasi-saintess in their mouths is naturally Wang Shouzhe's fifth sister, Wang Luojing.

Since a few decades ago, she has come to the Wild Gu clan. As a great cadre, she was naturally struggling at the beginning. Many people from the Barbarian Gu clan looked at him with colored glasses and were always on guard for her.

But over the decades, thanks to her efforts, the development of the Mangu clan has become faster and faster, and everyone's life has gone 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 to others, she has no pretensions, unlike the former quasi-virginia, she often teaches the children in the village some useful knowledge. Over the decades, it has been accumulated among ordinary villagers. Played a high reputation.

Not to mention anything else, these little girls who came to help decorate the bamboo building under the arrangement of the elders ran around behind Wang Luojing. Wang Luojing's words may be more effective than their parents.

Although some people in the village have been panicked recently due to the pressure of the great army, and some people have begun to question Quasi-Saint-Jing's position, they have always firmly believed that Quasi-Saint-Jing will not abandon them.

"However, although I firmly believe that the quasi saint Jing will not betray us. But my dad said that the biggest problem now is not who is the saint, but the big man who is obviously determined to conquer southern Xinjiang. Let's stop. But our strength is obviously not as good as the big one. We will definitely lose a lot in the fight, and many people will die... And then, maybe Ya will take the opportunity to attack..." The girl said and wrinkled. The brow is a little worried.

When another girl saw this, she comforted her and said: "I don't quite understand what you are talking about. But I believe that no matter what the problem is, Quasi Saint Jing will definitely figure out a solution. Before so many difficulties, she has not solved all the problems. Already? It must be okay this time."

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

"What do you want to do so much? Those are things that big people should worry about, we little people can't get in touch. You should do the things at hand first, the stickers are all crooked." There are two girls. He was passing by with a bamboo basket, and heard their conversation.

Their bamboo baskets are filled with small copper bells, which are made into the shape of insects, which is very delicate. That is a bug bell, which is also used in celebrations. In ancient legends, the carved patterns on insect bells can be used to communicate with ancestors.

While talking, one of the girls had cleverly climbed up the eaves and began to hang insect bells under the eaves.

The girl in the poster heard the words and quickly corrected the crooked poster, and then retorted unconvincedly: "I'm not worried about the future of Quasi-Saint Jing and our Saint Gu Clan? Don't you worry?"

"It's your turn to worry?"

The women of the Mangu tribe have a high status, and the girls are naturally aggressive, and they are not the ones who can suffer. When the two sentences were inconsistent, the two girls crouched on their hips.

The other girls were busy persuading to fight, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

"Ahem~~"

I was arguing, and suddenly there was a coughing sound next to me.

The girls were startled, only to realize that there was a black-clothed grandmother standing behind them.

The mother wore a beaded hat on her head, gold earrings on her ears, and several bracelets with gems on her wrists. In the Barbarian Gu clan, only Gu masters with high status would dress like this.

"Mother Aya."

The little girls obviously knew her.

This is the grandmother next to the saint grandma, who is also very powerful, and is a powerful Gu Master.

At the moment, they also realized what they had done wrong, so they shrank their necks and confessed their mistakes obediently.

"I'm sorry, Aya, we shouldn't have quarreled here, disturbing the saint grandma and the quasi-saint cultivating quietly. We know it is wrong. I'm sorry~"

"Okay~ go get the punishment by yourself~" Mother Aya shook her head, waved her hand and drove the person away.

"Oh~"

The little girls had to go away dejected.

"These kids~~ah~~"

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

The saint clicked and had closed the door and had a deep conversation with the quasi saint Jing for a long time, and didn't know how the talk was going. This time the great army was pressing the realm, and the life and death of the Saint Gu Clan was between the two thoughts.

Hope, everything will be a good result~

…

at the same time.

Inside the bamboo house where the holy woman lives.

"It is said that a long time ago, we Saint Gu people were still in a wild state and didn't know how to raise gu worms. We were surrounded by poisonous insects and beasts all day, and we lived hard every day. I was shocked. Maybe when I opened my eyes, both the husband and the child died."

A woman dressed in gorgeous, black clothes decorated with various mysterious symbols, her voice was slightly hoarse and whispered, "Until one day, the Gu God descended on this mountain, and He gave our people to raise Gu worms. The supernatural power of sacred gu, and left a sacred gu [Ceremonial Silkworm] and "Sacred Gu True Law" inheritance."

"And our people have learned how to control the poisonous insects and strange worms, and gained the ability to hunt and kill the beasts. Gradually, the sacred people of the sacred gu tribe spread out and took over the vast territory."

The woman in Chinese clothes had mottled hair and a low voice, as if she was old. But there are no wrinkles on his face, and he still looks a bit young. However, from her face to her neck, she has many mysterious tattoos, which make her look mysterious and dangerous.

This is the saint woman of the contemporary Saint Gu tribe-Saint Dai.

On her shoulder, there was a two-foot-long, white and fat silkworm lying lazily on her shoulders. It had some dull eyes and a little bored. It was half asleep and half awake. Gu worms were just like that. , Most of the time is dormant.

This is the sacred gu that has been passed down from generation to generation by the sacred gu tribe. It is said that the celestial silkworm will be reborn every time it dies. And under the current saint or Gu saint's nourishment, it quickly reached the stage of the 9th-order Gu worm.

Because of this, the sacred gu inheritance of the sacred gu clan has never been cut off.

And not far behind Saint Dai, a young woman who also wore a black Gu master dress, lowered her head slightly and listened quietly, without saying a word.

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

Wang Luojing's figure is slightly petite and exquisite, and her handsome and innocent face is much more cute than feminine. If she were to be a little bit austere on the earth, she would look like a middle school or high school girl.

But in fact, she was already one hundred and twenty-five years old. It is precisely because of the relatively fast cultivation speed that the body functions have been maintained in a very young state.

Since gaining a lot in the recruit training camp of Shenwu Dynasty and successfully promoting his bloodline to the middle stage of Datianjiao Yi, Wang Luojing's cultivation speed has increased by leaps and bounds.

Today, her cultivation has been promoted to the eighth level of the Heaven and Human Realm, and the distance from the Purple Mansion Realm is just a matter of time.

Her state of mind is different from that of the Brutal Gu tribe, and she is unwilling to get various tattoos on her body to increase her combat effectiveness.

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

"Enlighten the saint," Wang Luojing said in a low voice, "You are for the sake of my late master Zhou Changfeng,"

"No, when I was a quasi-saint, Changfeng, who was a great master, was already criticized when I was a disciple. Unexpectedly, after Changfeng had a little bit of strength, I took advantage of my retreat to accept the inheritance of magical powers. With the help of secretly, I stole half of the "Sacred Gu True Law"." Saint Dai sighed and said, "It also caused me to anger and defeat half of the inheritance. He also made me unable to break through so far. The chief culprit of the Divine Power Realm. So that I am only more than six hundred years old, so I have to change the inheritance."

"It stands to reason that I can't forgive him in my entire life. But the letter on his deathbed expounded the reason, and he was deprived of it for the rest of his life, and he could not even break through the heaven and human realm, so as to atone for his sins."

"I can forgive him and accept you to start, it is already tolerant."

Wang Luojing said calmly: "What does the saintly woman mean...?"

"It's like the story I just told." Saint Dai sighed and said, "Our Saint Gu clan is now also facing the same dilemma that our ancestors have experienced."

"It's just that the ancestors at the time faced poisonous insects and beasts. Now, we are facing the more powerful Daqin and Dagan. Daqin is better now, and the territorial border and our holy Gu clan are still separated from the miasma. The mountains are pervasive, but sooner or later they will expand to us."

"And Da Gan is extremely belligerent, and his territory and strength are expanding very quickly. Especially the Longchang Emperor of this generation, who has great ambitions for expansion, has long since annexed the most fertile land of our Saint Gu clan, yet he is still not satisfied. Trying to fully conquer our Saint Gu clan."

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

Wang Luo was silent and speechless, although she had some sympathy for the Saint Gu clan in her heart. But this is the rule of this world, the strong will continue to open up territory, or conquer or annex the weak.

Dagan's huge land area has indeed been smashed little by little. In fact, if the great leaders can't make themselves stronger, they will sooner or later be annexed by the Southern Qin and the Western Jin.

"Luo Jing, the reason why I support you as a saint is because you brought a letter from Zhou Changfeng, but also a letter from your Wang family, Wang Shouzhe." Saint Dai said calmly, "Just like Sheng At the most critical moment of the Gu clan, Lord Gu changed the destiny of the Saint Gu clan after the arrival of the Lord Gu. And now the Saint Gu clan has to change the time."

"Your Wang Clan and today's Emperor Zi'an are indeed different from Emperor Longchang and the other great cadres. They kept their original promises, and in just a few decades, they brought earth-shaking changes to the Saint Gu Clan, which made me I saw the true way out for the Saint Gu Clan in the future."

"His Royal Highness, I understand." Wang Luojing said calmly, "Don't worry, whether it is me or my fourth brother. They will bring new life to the Saint Gu Clan in different positions, and enjoy long-term peace, and Common prosperity and common development."

Saint Dai nodded.

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

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

Wang's and Wang Shouzhe's reputation is very good, and there are various benefits that they will bring their allies to develop and work hard together.

Similarly, Di Zi'an's reputation and credibility are also very good, so she is relieved a lot.

It is also for various reasons that prompted Saint Dai to make up his mind to unite with many heavyweight Gu elders, and finally support 【Quasi Saintess】, for the next generation of saints, leading the Saint Gu family to a new future. .

If she were to be the one who carried out this plan, it was Emperor Longchang or King Kang, it is estimated that she would never dare to gamble like this. Wang Shouzhe was right. Before Emperor Longchang was dying, there was bound to be a battle between the Saint Gu clan and Dagan. By then, it would be difficult to end.

Now this situation is the optimal solution for the Saint Gu Clan.

"His Royal Highness, my fourth brother sent a letter." Wang Luojing took out a letter of faith, and said in a low voice, "He said that the time is ripe and we can close the net according to the plan."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see." There was a firmness in the light of Saintess Dai's eyes, she firmly believed that this was the best choice for the entire Saint Gu clan. Besides, she has had to agree.

If she dared to breach the contract, Wang Luojing would not be a saint, or she would move without following the plan. The 100,000 big army of troops outside, like tigers and wolves, will instantly flatten Gushen Village.

…

Time is in a hurry.

Ten days passed in a flash.

The army of the great empire was so quietly entrenched hundreds of miles outside Gu Shenzhai.

This has given the entire Barbaric Gu clan an immense pressure and threat.

The messengers from both sides come and go, as if you have to run many times a day, negotiating with each other, trying to reach a consensus.

today.

It is the day of the inheritance of the Saintess of Gu Shenzhai.

The Gushen Village was filled with joy in the sky, and for the time being "forgetted", the shadow of war shrouded in the head was immersed in the atmosphere of the festival.

Before the altar.

The bamboo stand for the celebration of inheritance has been set up. There are crowds of people around, but they are all onlookers, they don't have a place to sit.

Different from the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the Dagan Royal Festival, the Saint Gu clan is obviously much more relaxed here, and there is a custom of participation by the whole people.

The great figures of the Saint Gu tribe arrived one after another and were guided to sit and observe the bamboo stand.

They are all the most important ruling class of the entire Saint Gu clan, and the worst are the Gu masters in the middle and late stages of the Celestial Realm.

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

Soon, dozens of more people appeared on the bamboo stand.

After that, Gu elders came out one by one. Only Gu masters equivalent to the cultivators in the Purple Mansion Realm are qualified to serve as Gu elders. Each of them is a great figure of the Saint Gu Clan, and the power in their hands can also influence the direction and future of the Saint Gu Clan.

Although the entire Saint Gu clan is much worse than the peak period, it still has a total of 17 Gu elders.

Previously, from the two prospective saints, the selection of a saint heir was based on the vote of 17 Gu elders. Among them, the quasi-saint Jing received the support of nine Gu elders and the saint Dai, and was successfully elected as the next saint.

After Gu elders appeared one after another, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more solemn and solemn.

Among them, the appearance of Gu Elder Ga and the eliminated quasi-maiden are particularly eye-catching.

Elder Ga is one of the most lofty elders in the Saint Gu clan, and the former quasi-Saint Ya is a very outstanding heir of his line, and has shown incomparable talent since she was a child.

Before Quasi Saintess Jing appeared, everyone thought that Ya would succeed to the next generation of Saintess. After all, Saintess Dai had failed half of her inheritance at the beginning. If she could not be promoted to Gu Saint, she would definitely abdicate in advance.

However, what elder Ga and Ya never expected was that the sudden emergence of [Jing], but with the full support of her deeds and Saint Dai, finally won the succession of the Saint.

This can be seen.

Elder Ga and the former quasi saintly woman are definitely not in a good mood at this moment. When they walked in, their faces were dark, and their tattoos became richer.

"Oh, isn't this Ga?" Elder Chan, who has always been at odds with Elder Ga, said sarcastically, "I thought you were not coming today."

Elder Chan is an old woman, who has always been against Ga due to his power and historical reasons. This time, she is also a strong supporter of Quasi Saintess.

"Humph!"

Elder Ga's eyes became more gloomy, "Maybe the Celestial Silkworm will dislike the blood of a foreign race and is unwilling to inherit."

"Hahaha, just dream about it. Quasi-saintess's Gu master bloodline is very strong and pure, and it's not a foreign race at all." The elder Chan laughed, "not to mention that the saintess Dai has asked Lord Celestial's opinion a long time ago. The adults have already expressed their love for Jing."

The opinions of the Holy Gu Celestial Silkworm are naturally very important. Relatively speaking, the Holy Gu Celestial Silkworm prefers tranquility, which may be due to the stronger bloodline talent of Jing.

If it is a Gu Master who is unwilling to accept the Holy Gu Celestial Silkworm, how can it be supported by multiple Gu elders?

"Humph!"

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

But I didn't want to, and there was a long shout outside the viewing platform: "Da Gan''Di Zi'an' is here."

Emperor Zi'an?

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

"How could Emperor Zi'an come here?"

"It should be Saint Dai and Gu elders who invited to watch the ceremony after discussing."

"He is so courageous, isn't he afraid that we will rush to kill him, in order to solve the predicament of the army's pressure."

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

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

After Emperor Zi'an and a group of guards approached, the surroundings suddenly became silent. Emperor Zi'an, who was dressed in armor and uniform, received countless eyes of hatred, awe, or admiration.

Wearing a white robe, Wang Shouzhe, who was flamboyant and banished, was a few steps behind the emperor and was unwilling to grab the limelight.

But even so.

Many young women onlookers cast admiring glances at Emperor Zi'an and Wang Shouzhe. Among them, there were more rumors about Wang Shouzhe.

"That young man in white is so handsome."

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

"That prince must be a big man, how could he be worthy of you."

"Even if you sleep for one night."

"Then we will gather some sisters, and when the celebration is over, we will swarm them. Even if we touch them, it's worth it."

The woman of the Wild Gu tribe is much more open than the Dagan style. Especially in this rare festival, men and women see each other right, and it's normal to do anything.

Even the whispers fell into the ears of Emperor Zi'an and Wang Shouzhe. There is no way, the strength is too strong, unless the divine mind is used to isolate and shield it, it will be difficult not to hear.

Just when they were not serious, UU read www.uukanshu.com behind a "senior guard" who was covered in armor, but used an old and humorous voice to transmit the voice: "Hey hey, like a little white face like Shouzhe , It is indeed very popular with women of other races. If you want to save some love affairs, feel free to do it, and I promise that I will not complain to Ruolan."

Wang Shouzhe rolled his eyes secretly, and the closer the Great Emperor Longchang was to retirement, the more he became more playful. After staying in the Wang clan for a long time, he began to think very quietly again, insisting on going out together with him.

What to say is to witness that the thorn in my heart is pulled out, so I can abdicate quietly.

Can you fight it yourself? What is it to pretend to be a guard?

Now that the entire Wang family, namely Ruolan, Anye, and Lixian say a few words, his old man can still listen to one or two.

Alas, the behavior of the old naughty boy is really a headache.

However, Wang Shouzhe selfishly did not want Emperor Longchang to come, and the people beside him were not afraid, they were afraid that he would cry.

…
