Chapter 1104 Miao Village
Miao Village is located 20 kilometers north of the town where Tangmen is located, where there are mostly high mountains and many trees. Here, since ancient times, it has been filled with all kinds of magical legends. According to the legend, the Miao people are the descendants of Chi You after the Jiuli tribe back then, and they are all proud of it.
Since the unification of China, the Miao people have gradually been eroded by Sinicization ideas, and many Miao people have gradually become not much different from the Han people. They began to advocate Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, and Taoism. However, in this Miao nationality, they still maintain the purest Miao customs. They believe in ghosts and gods, believe in witchcraft, and maintain the most primitive rituals of nature worship, totem worship and ancestor worship. They believe that some natural phenomena or natural objects have the nature of gods or ghosts, and the Miao language often does not distinguish between ghosts and gods, or uses the two words together. In most cases, ghosts are considered to be abandoned or wronged souls and tools, often bringing disasters, illnesses, plagues or other misfortunes to human beings, such as the so-called Eastern ghosts, Western ghosts, sow ghosts, and hanged ghosts. , tiger ghosts, etc., are called evil ghosts. Natural phenomena with spirituality are often regarded as good ghosts with a certain degree of divinity, such as mountain gods, valley spirits, cotton gods, wind gods, thunder gods, rain gods, sun gods, and moon gods. For good ghosts and evil ghosts, the Miao people have different ways of offering sacrifices. Good ghosts are sent and greeted, and sacrifices are more sincere, while evil ghosts must be bribed and coaxed until they are driven away.
They believe in witchcraft, and usually the great wizard in the clan also serves as the head of the clan. This custom has been preserved for thousands of years. It is said that everyone here is good at using Gu skills, including men and women who are in love. In order to prevent the other half from betraying, they will usually give the other half a shot. , will be extremely painful, and finally have to return to the other half.
If it is said that the Tang Sect is good at using poison, then the Miao people are even more good at using insects. Any poisonous insect in the hands of the Miao people can become a powerful weapon, and it can also become a magic weapon for curing diseases and saving lives. The Tang Sect is relatively comprehensive in the use of poison, whether it is plants, animals or insects and ants; while the Miao people are more proficient in the study of insects and ants. For a long time, the Tangmen and the Miao people have always kept the water in the well, and each thought that the other was heretic, and never communicated.
There are also two types of wizards who practice witchcraft, one is passed down from generation to generation and taught by old wizards; the other is wizards taught by so-called gods in dreams, called dream witches. However, there is still a distinction between black witchcraft and white witchcraft among the Miao people.
White witchcraft is generally the witchcraft of ordinary people seeking sunshine, praying for rain, exorcising ghosts, destroying evil spirits, expelling insects, finding objects, summoning spirits, and even causing infertile women to give birth, and making men and women without feelings fall in love. To a certain extent, this is a kind of witchcraft with good intentions, mostly with the ultimate goal of curing diseases and saving lives.
Black witchcraft is mostly used to revenge people or others, and it can also be used as spells to cure diseases, kill evil spirits, and fight against black witchcraft. And black witchcraft can be roughly divided into two factions, one faction summons and controls ghosts, which is relatively common; the other faction masters the method of returning the soul of the dead, and both factions have an inseparable relationship with the forbidden black magic. Necromancers usually use altars and spells to open altars, while necromancers obtain the terrifying black magic power they need through exhumation and grave robbery. No matter which faction it is, it is an existence that the Miao people hate very much. However, this also makes the Miao people appear even more mysterious.
The most widely spread voodoo in Miao Village is a kind of witchcraft. In the conceptual world of the Miao people, Gu includes snake Gu, frog Gu, ant Gu, caterpillar Gu, sparrow Gu, turtle Gu and so on. Gu multiplies on the person with Gu, and if they can't find food, they will attack the person with Gu (the Gu owner) and ask for food. The Gu owner feels uncomfortable, so he releases the Gu to harm others. When releasing Gu, the Gu master said in his mind: "Go to someone for food, don't pester me!" Gu will automatically go to that person. Or tens of meters away, with a flick of a finger, Gu will fly towards that person. As for whether the Gu technique really exists, no one knows, but the legend is getting more and more mysterious, which also casts a deep mystery on the Miao people.
After Ye Qian and others left the Tang Sect, they didn't say much all the way. Tang Qiang was also very indifferent towards Ye Qian because of his son Tang Yuzheng's relationship. As for Tang Yuzheng, he naturally looked at Ye Qian with hatred all the way, as if he regarded him as his mortal enemy. Regarding all of this, Ye Qian just smiled lightly, and didn't explain too much, looking out the window, he didn't know what he was thinking.
It didn't take long, and gradually the Miao village could be seen. Passing through the lush forest, I saw wooden buildings standing there. The most ecological way of building, the wooden railing building is very beautiful, generally three-story construction, the first floor is generally to solve the problem of uneven slope terrain, so it is usually a half-side house, stacking sundries or raising livestock, the second floor It is the main house, and the third floor is the granary. Some families specially set up "beauties" on the third floor for young girls to watch and show their beauty, so as to establish a preliminary relationship with the elder brother of the Miao family.
The village is not big, it looks like there are only about a hundred families. The people in the Miao Village are not curious about the car that suddenly drove into the village. Over the years, many people have arrived here because of adventure or play, and they are also very warmly entertained, in exchange for some income.
Tang Qiang asked a person from Miao Village about the direction of Wan Hai's house, and then drove there. Ye Qian greeted Tang Qiang, then got out of the car and left. He didn't come to propose marriage, so naturally he didn't want to go. Besides, if Ruoshui was at home, Tang Yuzheng would have misunderstood again seeing that girl was warmer to him. After all, they are cousins, and Ye Qian doesn't want to have any conflicts with him, no matter how much he doesn't like him in his heart, for Tang Jingnan's sake, Ye Qian can't do anything to him.
Although those Miao people didn't look very cold, it was obvious that they were wary of outsiders. Ye Qian didn't care either, just wandered around casually to see if there were any clues left by Qin Yue here. Ye Qian didn't know the way, so he walked around. Unknowingly, he came to a very dilapidated house, and there was the faint sound of reading in it. It must be a school.
Ye Qian couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart, these children are still studying in such a dilapidated house, it's a bit chilling. Think about how the government of Huaxia donates so much money to foreign countries every year, but they can't even solve the most basic problems in their own country. Although the strength of Haotian Group is strong, it is still a bit of a drop in the bucket for a group to face so many problems. The most important thing about these problems is to rely on ** to solve them. Only ** can do it with great efforts.
Walking forward slowly, Ye Qian looked inside, and saw a few dilapidated tables and chairs in the classroom, more than 20 children sat around and read aloud, and a young teacher was on the podium. Suddenly, Ye Qian's eyes fell on a painting on the wall. In the painting, a woman was sweating and giving lectures on the podium. Her expression, movements and appearance were all vivid. Qin Yue, the person in the painting is exactly Qin Yue. It seems that I came to the right place, Qin Yue really taught here.
However, this doesn't explain anything. If you want to know more, you have to communicate with the people here. However, looking at their vigilant expressions, Ye Qian knew that even if he asked, he would not get any answers. Taking out the money on his body, Ye Qian stuffed it into the classroom secretly, turned and left. There is only so much he can do. After returning home, let Lin Rourou donate a batch of money through the Hope Fund. However, it is always a drop in the bucket. If they can't completely solve their source of income, then it won't be solved. substantive issues.
After leaving the school, Ye Qian walked aimlessly, and unknowingly walked into a bush beside the village. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Ye Qian, dressed in white clothes like snow, sitting on a broken tree trunk, with his head lowered, as if he was thinking about something.
Ye Qian trembled inexplicably, and walked forward slowly. "You go, you go, I don't want to see you." Ruoshui said angrily without turning back. There was a tone of disgust and pain in the words.
Ye Qian was slightly stunned, feeling an inexplicable pain in his heart, faintly feeling some bad thoughts. A few steps forward, Ye Qian sat down beside Ruo Shui, without saying a word, turned his head, and looked at her quietly. Ruoshui turned around in surprise, and when he saw Ye Qian, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, trembling involuntarily, and suddenly threw himself into Ye Qian's arms, crying loudly.
He didn't know what happened, and Ye Qian didn't know how to comfort her, his hands were a little stiff and he didn't know where to put them. Ruoshui hugged Ye Qian tightly, choked up and said, "I'm useless, brother Ye, I'm useless, I didn't save my mother, it's useless at all, it's useless at all, it's all a lie, it's all a lie of."
Seeing Ruoshui like this, Ye Qian also guessed what happened. Taking a deep breath, Ye Qian patted Ruoshui's beautiful back lightly, and said, "Tell me, what happened, is that okay?"
"It's all a lie, it's all a lie. Didn't they say that the Buddha's relic can bring the dead back to life? But why can't my mother be saved? Why?" Ruoshui said sadly, "My father said that the Buddha's relic can only cure diseases. There is no way to bring the dead back to life, so let me stop wishful thinking. Brother Ye, why, tell me why?"
