The two of them talked a lot about their feelings just now, all of them were talking about chickens and ducks, and they didn't know what the other party was saying, they all relied on their eyes and consciousness to communicate, and they were very energetic and elated.

"Do you know what I'm here for?" Chen Wei asked rhetorically, Lu Bu had only told him a few things about this plan, how could the man in front of him know.

"Of course, I can see at a glance what you mean." The man replied firmly, patted his chest and showed great generosity, and said very righteously: "It's very troublesome that you don't know how to speak Qiang, but well, you two are lucky to have met me." Follow me later, pretend to be dumb, and don't open your mouth when asked. ”

Friend or foe?

Chen Wei weighed in his heart, and the tone of his voice was a bit like that of a fellow practitioner.

However, this kind of major matter about changing the plan, one of his personal guards definitely can't take this idea, and he has to ask Lu Bu.

While resting, Chen Wei retreated to Lu Bu and discussed with him.

"He knows my plan?" When Lu Bu heard this, he frowned, and asked again: "Do you know the details?" ”

Chen Wei looked back at the man lying on the grass basking in the sun, shook his head, and whispered, "It's a very mysterious guy, and it seems that he knows everything about our plans." Why don't I try it later? ”

"No need."

Lu Bu waved his hand lightly, dispelling Chen Wei's idea. He didn't know how this man who suddenly appeared would know his plan, and if he was really a master, he would have to be more careful.

Rushing to the test is likely to cause dissatisfaction and suspicion.

Maybe it's all the way, but I can't say for sure.

"Take a step, look at a step."

Lu Bu said so, it must be too late to learn Qiang language by holding Buddha's feet temporarily, and it is good to have a Han person who understands Qiang language to lead the way. As for the details of this man, he will naturally know it in the evening, and he is not in a hurry for a while.

Then Lu Bu explained to Chen Wei again, if he wanted to ask about the identities of the two, he said that Chen Wei was a little family son who came from other places to join in the strange and lively activities, and he was the guard responsible for protection along the way.

In the afternoon, the first moment of the hour.

After two days of walking, we will finally arrive at this moment.

The left valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and when you look down from above, the whole valley looks like a cup that has not closed its lid. On the vacant side is the north, an endless plain meadow, and only at the far end can you faintly see some hazy hills hidden between the clouds.

A clearing has been set off at the bottom of the hill with herds of cattle and sheep, which will also be a delicacy for the evening.

Before I entered the valley, I heard the voices of people inside from a distance, so it was not lively.

It is no wonder that this sacrifice to heaven is the most important festival of the Qiang people in addition to the Qiang calendar year.

The outer perimeter of the valley is fenced, and there are only five entrances and exits, each of which is guarded by thousands of Qiang soldiers. After all, it is a big event of tens of thousands of people, and it is not possible to have a town without troops, and if some guys who are picking up trouble are mixed in, it is easy to deal with it in time.

When they arrived at the entrance gate, the soldiers standing guard stopped the three as usual and asked in Qiang for their intentions.

Lu Bu didn't know how to answer, so he and Chen Wei honestly stood behind the man who called himself 'He Chang'. He Chang talked a lot about it, and he coped calmly.

From time to time, he would also point to Lu Bu and the others, which made Lu Bu feel a little uncertain and prepared for the worst. In case this guy turns around and sells him to the two, it is not impossible to tell the Qiang people to sit down as his own identity.

Luckily, it didn't happen.

After entering the venue, Lu Bu and Chen Wei found a place to sit down, while He Chang had a good relationship with the other Qiang people around.

It's still early, at least two hours before the sacrifice begins, so you can rest first.

Lu Bu wanted to find out where the Qiang leaders were, but at a glance, the field was full of people walking and chatting, and his vision was limited, so he had to give up for the time being.

The sun is slightly hot, pouring down, making people feel sleepy unconsciously.

By the time Lu Bu woke up, the sun had sunk over the western mountains.

"How did I fall asleep?" Muttering, Lu Bu got up and shook his head slightly.

"General, you're awake."

When Lu Bu was asleep, Chen Wei didn't dare to disturb, and when he saw Lu Bu sitting up, he leaned over without a trace, and said in a low voice: "The Qiang people are almost here, and the leaders are also here, it seems that the heavenly sacrifice will start soon." ”

"Where are the Qiang leaders?"

Lu Bu asked, the sacrifice to the heavens was irrelevant, and the purpose of this trip was to find the leader of the Qiang people who could take charge.

Chen Wei pointed in a certain direction, Lu Bu looked sideways, and in the distance as far as his eyes could see, a newly built platform had been set up. There is a large tent unique to the Qiang people on it, and there are guards standing around it, and because the distance is too far, only some figures can be faintly seen shaking.

Come to think of it, those people are the leaders of Dongqiang.

Lu Bu was about to pass, but before he could take a step, he suddenly heard a long horn blowing. Then, tens of thousands of Qiang people in the field knelt down together, knocked their heads on the ground without raising them, babbling in a language he didn't understand, just like the monk he had heard in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang.

He saw that Lu Bu and Chen Wei were still standing there stupidly, and they were in a hurry, if they were discovered, all three of them would suffer. He immediately leaned over and pulled the hem of their trousers, motioning for them to kneel down quickly.

Lu Bu had no choice but to kneel, knock his head on the ground, whisper nonsense in his mouth, and mix in the crowd to fill the numbers.

The Celestial Sacrifice began.

The Qiang elders walked up the mountain, and some of the attendants carried the heads of freshly slaughtered sheep, some caught some chickens and ducks and live animals, and some held fine wine, fruits and food, dragging slow steps, and followed the elders religiously.

When they arrive at the place of worship, the sheep's head is placed in the middle, and then the chickens and ducks are bled out, and the other sacrificial items are lined up from the left and right in turn, and the wine is placed at the end.

After arranging, the elders also knelt down and recited a dry and boring prayer in the loudest voice. It probably means to ask for the blessing of the ancestors, to bring down blessings, so that the Qiang people can be safe and secure for generations.

The elder spoke, and all the Qiang people kneeling below stopped chanting and listened quietly.

After reciting the sacrificial words for a long time, Lu Bu listened to it with a big head and didn't know what he meant.

finally waited until the reading was finished, but the Qiang people around him still had no intention of getting up.

That's weird!

Lu Bu wondered, and asked He Chang next to him: "How long do we have to kneel?" ”

"Kneel until the moon comes out." He Chang whispered a response.

"What if the moon doesn't come out tonight?"

"Then kneel until tomorrow night."

Hearing this pit father's answer, Lu Bu's heart collapsed.
