Chapter 1462 I'm Here to Ask for a Child
Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai were surprised not because of how powerful the person who stopped them was.
With Qin Shaoyou's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this person's cultivation base was around the seventh rank.
This level of strength, not to mention Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai, is not even comparable to those who pretend to be servants.
However, this man's eyes were very sharp. After stopping Qin Shaoyou and the others, his eyes kept wandering around a few people to examine the situation.
But Qin Shaoyou is confident that he will not be seen by this person.
They were surprised because this person's attire was really weird.
It's totally a mix and match style!
This man wore the official hat of the Chenla Kingdom on his head, but he was wearing a crimson monk's robe, and it was the same as the monks' dress in southern Xinjiang, with his right shoulder exposed.
And above his neck, what hangs is not a prayer beads, but a shining Nestorian cross made of sterling silver.
Even Qin Shaoyou saw through [Bright Eyes] that this Nestorian cross was not an extraordinary product, but a supernatural item.
Its function is to increase the affinity of the wearer, so that people around him will recognize and worship him from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that he is a respectable and trustworthy person.
Based on the situation here in Wanshen Cave and the ability that this cross has demonstrated, Qin Shaoyou speculates that it probably still has the effect of demagoguery.
It can help the wearer to fool the believers.
In addition, on the exposed right shoulder of this person, there is a tattoo in the shape of a flame.
This is the totem of Zoroastrianism.
After stopping Qin Shaoyou and the others, this man waved the whisk with eight trigrams inscriptions in his hand, and with a smile pinched out the handprint of a local witch religion in southern Xinjiang, and saluted Qin Shaoyou and others.
Qin Shaoyou and others, who were in a state of astonishment, were counting the number of schools and schools on this person, and almost forgot to return the gift.
Qin Shaoyou complained crazily in his heart: The Wanshen Cave is not only full of religions, but also various temples, and even the people in it walk in such a mixed style? What a long experience!
This guy is even more outrageous than the great priest Wang Lama who is stationed in the Wudang Mountain Office in Shaolin Temple!
The man saw Qin Shaoyou and the others surprised, but he didn't take it seriously, because he had seen too many similar reactions in the past few years.
Anyone who came to Wanshen Cave for the first time would be shocked when they saw the appearance of these 'knowledgeable guests'.
There are even many loyal believers of various factions who are quite dissatisfied with their dress, and some conflicts have arisen from this.
Those people were either fooled by them into loyal followers of the Pantheon Cave.
Or, it has become a part of the Ten Thousand Gods Cave...
After Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai returned their salutes in a hurry, this mixed-up man just opened his mouth, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha:
"Several benefactors are invited. I don't know where you are from, how do you call them? I am sent by the Chenla Kingdom to the Ten Thousand Gods Cave to assist the monasteries to welcome the wise guest Suo Libo.
Here in Wanshen Cave, there are hundreds of monasteries and shrines of different religious schools. What gods do you want to worship and what wishes do you wish? Just tell me and let me guide you. "
Suo Libo spoke Zhenla dialect with a strong local accent. Fortunately, before Qin Shaoyou and the others left Beijing, they had considered the language issues in southern Xinjiang and carried a supernatural power called "people in the ear". thing.
The people in the ears are a kind of supernatural beings that resemble human beings. They are only as big as a grain of rice and have ugly green-faced fangs, just like yakshas.
The cause of this supernatural item is unknown.
There is a guess that it is the accumulation of resentment and desire of the officials in Honglu Temple, Lifanyuan, and Xingrensi who have worked hard to learn foreign languages.
But there is no clear evidence for this, so it can only be guesswork.
Most of the time, people in the ears are in a sealed and sleeping state, but once someone puts them in their ears, they will wake up and take root in the person's ears.
The person in the ear has no other purpose, the only thing is that the person parasitized by it can learn multiple languages without a teacher.
Not only can you listen, but you can also speak.
It is estimated that this is also the effect, which makes people suspect that they come from Honglu Temple, Lifanyuan and other yamen.
However, the side effects of people in the ear are quite severe.
It lives in human ears and steals human essence and blood as food.
If it is an ordinary person, it won't be long before they will have a lot of energy and blood stolen by the person in their ears, and they will be shattered and riddled with diseases.
But this side effect is nothing to Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai.
They have enough essence and blood, and they don't let the people in their ears parasitize for a long time, so there is no problem at all.
It was at this moment that Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai understood what Suo Libo said just now with the help of the earbuds.
Zhu Xiucai also spoke Siamese with an accent, and replied with a salute: "I have seen Mr. Zhike, we are from Siam, and I have heard that the cave of the gods is quite effective here, so I come here to offer incense and make a wish. This is our young master. Ni Aba, I am his housekeeper Ni Daye..."
Suo Libo didn't hear anything, but Qin Shaoyou heard that Zhu Xiucai was taking advantage of the other party, but it seemed that he was also taking advantage of himself?
But at this time, he couldn't say anything about Zhu Xiucai, so he could only continue to maintain his persona as the idiot son of the landlord's family, and said with a smile: "Master Zhike, why are you dressed like this? Are you an official? Is it a monk? Is it Daoism? Or is it a witch god who believes in it?”
Siam and Chenla are adjacent, and the languages of the two countries have a lot in common. Suo Libo can also understand the words of Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai.
Seeing them surprised and puzzled, Solipo laughed and gave an explanation:
"As I said just now, there are many temples and shrines of different sects in the Ten Thousand Gods Cave.
Those of us intellectuals, sent to help by the imperial court, are not limited to which faction we belong to. We have to move around everywhere. Naturally, we must not offend any family, and we all have to believe in it.
In this way, the gods and Buddhas of various schools can give us some care and blessing.
At the same time, we can also show that the Ten Thousand Gods Cave, where the gods are in harmony and all living beings are equal, is one of the few blessed places in the world today. "
Well, this is still a Neptune, who believes in fraternity.
Qin Shaoyou cursed in his heart.
But let alone, what Solibo said, with the blessing of the Nestorian cross on his body, is very deceptive.
If it weren't for Qin Shaoyou and others' mental resistance being strong enough, they would have been successfully fooled by him at the moment, and they felt that his outlandish outfit really made sense. The cave of the gods is indeed a place blessed by the gods, which is different.
Once this idea has been developed, it will be easily developed by the people here in Wanshen Cave to become believers of mad gods and used by them.
But Qin Shaoyou also noticed now that the real purpose of Suo Libo and other well-known guests in the mix-and-match attire was to disturb their own aura so that people could not see the evil and hostile aura in them.
As for what Solibo said to help guide the way, it was also an excuse.
The real purpose is to closely monitor Qin Shaoyou and others.
Before coming to Wanshen Cave, Li Erlang and Cai Guizhong had told Qin Shaoyou about this situation.
So Qin Shaoyou knew that anyone who came to Wanshen Cave had to be led away by Zhike, and they were not allowed to leave the team and run around on their own.
So he continued to play the role of the silly son of the landlord's family. With the help of Fanzi, he got off the back of the naughty horse, cupped his hands towards Suo Libo, and said with a smile:
"It turns out that's the case. I said that Mr. Zhike's dress doesn't look like the officials, monks, wizards, etc. I have seen before. To be honest, I am here to seek a child. I don't know which one to go to." Temple, which god and Buddha do you worship?"
"Ask for a child?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Suo Libo was stunned.
He looked at Qin Shaoyou with suspicion and flicker in his eyes, and his brows were also frowned.
