Chapter 329

Ye Xiaotian suddenly remembered that he had seen the church built by the Western missionaries when he was in the capital city. Although the size and style of the church were far less than this Divine Hall, and could even be said to be shabby, the style of the church was clearly the same as this Divine Hall in some aspects of the building.

At this moment, if Elder Sheng Miao in a black robe replaced the Gu God pendant on his chest with a cross, wouldn't he look like a western missionary?

Ye Xiaotian's heart was immediately filled with suspicion. Isn't this too similar? Was it just a coincidence? Was it that the two religious saints of the East and the West coincidentally had the same idea about architecture and clothing thousands of years ago, or was there any connection between the two?

If there was really a strange connection between the strange Divine Hall in the depths of the mountain and those Western missionaries, it was too absurd. Could it be that more than a thousand years ago, there were Western missionaries who came to the East to preach and plunged into such a desolate place?

Or was it that a Great Sage of the Three Miao Tribes of the East felt lonely and invincible, and on a whim, went across the sea to the West to recruit a group of Western Devils. After many years, his Western disciples came back to the East to preach?

When Ye Xiaotian was thinking, the elder called Gögwo by Zhan Ning'er had already walked in proudly and stared at Ye Xiaotian with a pair of vigilant eyes.

This elder Gögwo was tall and thin, a little like a bean sprout. His face was very long, his nose bridge was very high, and his eye sockets were slightly deep. The reason why he was called Gögwo was because the word Ge was an honorific in the Miao language. It was specially added before the name of the tribal chief or the distinguished elders. The other seven elders, including the chief of the Sheng Miao tribe, also had the word Ge in front of their names.

This elder Gögwo was tall and thin, a little like a bean sprout. His face was very long, his nose bridge was very high, and his eye sockets were slightly sunken. His thick long hair was tied up with a silver band. His eyes staring at Ye Xiaotian were as sharp as an eagle's.

Gögwo sneered for a while and said, "Miss Zhan, the inheritance of the God's Servant is imminent. This is a big event in Miao Jiang. You came here on behalf of your father and also brought your cousin here. Although your cousin is not one of us, after all, he has a deep relationship with us. But you shouldn't bring others here. I am very suspicious that you come out again and again, and now you bring outsiders in. What is your intention? "

Because Zhan Ning 'er spoke in Han, Elder Gegwo also changed to speak in Han. Although he was an elder of the Sheng Miao tribe, the Sheng Miao tribe rarely interacted with outsiders. However, the elders and chiefs weren't like this. From time to time, they would have to go out and walk around. Of course, Han was a language that they had to learn.

Zhan Ning 'er said angrily, "Intention? What intention can I have? "

Gögwo sneered, "Of course you are after the inheritance of the God's Servant."

Zhan Ning 'er said angrily, "The inheritance of the God's Servant is the will of the God's Servant from heaven, and it will be appointed by the God's Servant Venerable. I have always been in awe of the God's Servant. How can I covet the position of the God's Servant?"

Gögwo sneered, "It's hard to say. It's hard to know a man's heart! This person is not allowed to leave here before we finish the inheritance of the God's Servant. I have ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave the territory during this period. You are on your own. "

Annam Tien said angrily, "How dare you restrict my freedom?"

Gögwo sneered, "Because this is my territory, and because I am the most respected among the eight elders. Oh, hehehe … "

Gögwo sneered and left. Mao Wenzhi scratched his head and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Brother, this bastard's smile is so ugly. I want to cut him."

Annam Tien looked at Mao Wenzhi with pleasure and said, "Great minds think alike. Brother, you have good taste. May I know your name?"

They didn't talk about it. Zhan Ning 'er suppressed her anger and said to Ye Xiaotian, "I am really sorry. You have to stay here until we finish the inheritance of the God's Servant."

Ye Xiaotian was puzzled and asked, "What is the inheritance of the God's Servant?"

Zhan Ning 'er said, "The God's Servant Venerable is the servant of the Gu God. He is the representative of the Gu God in the world and the most respected elder of all the Miao clans. Every generation of the God's Servant Venerable will feel it before he dies. He will make preparations in advance and appoint his successor when he returns to the embrace of the Gu God. That person will be the new generation of the God's Servant Venerable. "

Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Just like the emperor choosing the crown prince?"

Zhan Ning 'er said, "Almost."

Ye Xiaotian said, "Shouldn't he appoint his successor in advance?"

Zhan Ning 'er said, "Of course not. The God's Servant Venerable will only know who will be the next God's Servant Venerable when he is about to be called back to the Kingdom of Heaven by the Gu God. Generally, the God's Servant Venerable will be selected from the eight Patriarchs. But sometimes the Gu God will send down an oracle to select another person.

There was once a successor of the God's Servant Venerable. He was even a servant in charge of chopping firewood in the Divine Hall. He was chopping firewood in the backyard when he was chosen as the God's Servant Venerable. He immediately put on the robe and went to the Divine Hall. He became the God's Servant Venerable. "

Zhan Ning 'er pointed to the Divine Hall on the cliff across the lake and said, "Do you see that? When the bell rings continuously in the Divine Hall and thick smoke rises from the top of the hall, it means that the last God's Servant Venerable has passed away. All the people living around will come here to pay their respects to the new God's Servant Venerable. The new God's Servant Venerable will put on the robe and hold the Golden Staff. He will stand on the high Divine Hall and accept everyone's worship. Once the inheritance of the God's Servant is established, it can never be changed. "

Ye Xiaotian said, "Then … when will the current God's Servant Venerable die?"

Zhan Ning 'er showed a strange expression and said, "Are you looking forward to the death of our God's Servant Venerable?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "That's not it. But if he doesn't die, doesn't that mean I can't leave this place? If I don't leave, how am I going to find Le Yao? "

Zhan Ning 'er touched her nose and said hesitantly, "This is hard to say. There was once a God's Servant Venerable who sensed that he was going to return to the Kingdom of Heaven. Thus, all the tribes sent people to send the God's Servant back to Heaven and welcome the new Venerable to succeed his position. But everyone waited for three years before the God's Servant really passed away."

Ye Xiaotian was shocked and said, "Three years? Three years of cucumber would be cold by then! "

Zhan Ning 'er said awkwardly, "This matter … Since Gögwo has become suspicious, I can't let you go. After all, he is of noble status. If we offend him for no reason, it will be disadvantageous to my father. You have to know that although the elders of the Divine Gu Temple can only control these people and can't command our tribes, they have a great influence on our tribes.

Moreover, since he has given the order, those people will definitely listen to him and won't let you go like I said. As for that little girl, I will ask the nearby tribes to help you find her. They have a lot of people and it will be much easier than you being alone. "

At this moment, Annam Tien interrupted, "Elder Gögwo is the most likely successor to the God's Servant Venerable. He is very nervous about this matter and is afraid that there will be external factors that will affect his succession. If you insist on leaving, he will definitely not allow it."

Ye Xiaotian was angry and anxious, but he was in someone else's territory and he couldn't do anything. Ye Xiaotian could only say angrily, "That means I am under house arrest by that idiot who only knows how to say 'oh hehe'?"

Zhan Ning 'er said, "He dares! You are my guest. He can not let you go, but in this Sapling Tribe, you will definitely receive the best treatment. No one will make things difficult for you. "

…

Ye Xiaotian angrily walked on the road. Mao Wenzhi chased him from afar and shouted, "Big Brother, Big Brother, wait for me!"

Hua Yunfei didn't say a word and only followed Ye Xiaotian from afar. He knew that Ye Xiaotian was angry and he wasn't a good talker. He couldn't say anything to comfort him and could only follow from afar. His bow and knife had been confiscated, so he was unarmed at the moment.

Ye Xiaotian walked in the village with a face full of anger. Those people probably already received Zhan Ning 'er's orders and no one came to stop him. There were many women, old people, and children moving around in the village. Don't look at those people who were out hunting dressed like savages, but the people in the village were dressed much more normally. Especially those little girls from the Miao family, they were dressed brightly and had pretty faces. They were indeed the birds bred in the deep mountains and beauties born in the woodshed. Just that right now Ye Xiaotian was in a fit of anger and naturally did not have the mood to admire those Miao family's little sisters' pretty and graceful bearing.

A small stream appeared ahead. A few thick logs were strung over the stream and formed into a row to form a bridge. Ye Xiaotian angrily walked up to the bridgehead and heard a gong sound from the other side of the small bridge. Seven or eight Miao people jumped out from the bushes. There were men and women, old and young.

Ye Xiaotian was shocked, could it be that they were going to rob him? He hurriedly assumed a fighting stance but seeing that the other party had the advantage in numbers, especially the burly man at the front, that burly man with a body of muscles as if cast from iron, he immediately changed into a stance to take a beating and protected his vital parts.

That Miao man in one big stride leaped to Ye Xiaotian's side and happily chattered for a while. Ye Xiaotian saw that he did not look like he was going to hit anyone and also did not look like he was saying 'this road was opened by me, this tree was planted by me' so he put down the arm that was protecting his face and asked in a daze, "What did you say?"

That Miao man was taken aback and then laughed out loud and said, "So this esteemed guest does not know how to speak our language. Don't worry, I know how to speak your language. I am Gedore, the leader of this tribe. You are my family's fated person, I wish to invite you to be my son's godfather. "

Ye Xiaotian was confused and disoriented by his senseless words, "What situation is this? Why for no rhyme or reason a group of people jumped out and wanted to pull me to be their son's godfather, do I look like a godfather? Why is there no one pulling me to be his godfather? "
