Chapter 353: The Fifth Totem
The sky was blue and deep with white clouds, and the wind blowing from afar carried heat and humidity.
A little muddy night one, gradually opened his eyes, but the feeling of his whole body was extremely strange, because his entire body was completely cultivated, and shrunk like a newborn baby, trying to struggle to sit up, but he could only shake his small arms and make babbling sounds.
Falling into a state of extreme trance, Yoichi returned to his infant days, even lying in a cradle made of vines, wrapped in swaddling clothes made of leaves.
Suddenly, a woman's sweet singing voice sounded next to herself, and then the cradle under her body was gently shaken rhythmically, this song seemed to have a kind of magic, which made Yeyi's originally violently fluctuating heart gradually calm down, and even gradually felt a burst of sleepiness attacking, and gradually narrowed his eyes, but then Yeyi suddenly woke up, trying to turn his head sideways, trying to see the appearance of the figure beside him.
It was a green hair, like a lush green like a jungle, slanting down like waves, under the green hair was a delicate and mature face, with a deep contour, a high nose bridge, and the skin was not as dark as the usual barbarians, but very fair, and the eyes seemed to contain the whole vast jungle as indifferent, and the most terrifying thing was that the crossbar totem on the woman's face, like him, was the five paths.
This fifth totem is as demonic and blood-red as the cinnabar painting, which makes people unconsciously suck their entire minds into it.
"High Priest, I beg you to think twice. ”
It wasn't until a uniform voice of request sounded in his ears that in the cradle, Yeyi, who had become a baby, realized that there was not only a green-haired woman in this place, but also a group of barbarians, young and old, lying on her back, constantly kowtowing.
The green-haired woman, who continued to gently shake the cradle, did not look back, but spoke softly, and a faint voice came out:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have made up my mind, and I don't need to persuade me anymore, my clan has been trapped in this Nanban jungle for too long, and if you want to go out and see the bigger world, you always need to pay a price. ”
"But High Priest, my barbarians have lived in this jungle for generations, and have never had contact with the Terran Dynasty, and I don't know what their temperament is, if they are as greedy and cruel as the desolate people, it will be tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger. ”
At the front of the crowd below, a middle-aged priest at the head raised his head, stood upright, and his strong voice resounded throughout the audience, but the woman was still unmoved, but her eyes flashed with thought, and then her red lips opened lightly, and she said:
"Some time ago, a major repair of the human race came here, and once used a sentence to describe our barbarians, which made me extremely touched, he said that you only know the wind and rain, and one person sits alone in the well in the sky, and we barbarians are sitting in the well and watching the sky, so I agreed to his request, chose to cooperate with the human race, and was ready to send this child to the Great Xia Dynasty. ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the ancestral court priests behind the woman all changed greatly, and they all opened their mouths to stop them, and the middle-aged priest led by raised his hand and pressed down, and after all kinds of voices stopped, he spoke again:
"High Priest, I choose to cooperate with the Terrans, I trust your judgment, but this kid is the most talented one of our barbarians in the past generations, if he is sent to the Great Xia Dynasty, such a big variable, it will not be fair to him or the entire barbarian. ”
"But I won't last long, and the last time the Valley of the Giants opened, I was too badly wounded. ”
After the middle-aged priest in the rear finished speaking, the wavy green-haired high priest suddenly spoke, and his voice was silent, but everyone in the rear fell silent when they heard the words, and then the woman's flat voice sounded softly again:
"Of course I know that this child is extraordinary, he is a child of the jungle, he can withstand the power of the four totems at birth, but so what, I may be able to hold on for twenty years and let him grow up, but his upper limit is me, I will never be able to escape the shackles of the barbarians, this boundless jungle is a shelter for us and a cage, if the barbarians want to rise out, they need a hero of the world. ”
After finishing speaking, the woman continued to gently shake the cradle in front of her, and in the cradle, the little baby with four totems painted on his face, his eyes were worried, and he made a babbling sound, and the group of ancestral court priests behind the woman glanced at each other, and continued to be led by the middle-aged priest representing the collective will, and asked:
"High Priest, is it necessary to be so urgent, our barbarian race has been multiplied from generation to generation, and it has been passed down to this day, and we mean that it would be more appropriate to first contact with the human race and gradually establish a relationship, and then send this child away. ”
"That's too slow, when a person lives longer, the stronger his cultivation, the more he will be in awe of nature and heaven and earth, of course, this has another name in the human race, called the Great Dao, so he will always unconsciously pursue an ethereal thing, called chance. ”
The High Priest turned slightly, looked down with eyes that contained the whole jungle, and continued to speak:
"The man also said that under the avenue, there are fixed numbers and variables, and each race has its own luck, so I want to take a gamble on whether we can open up a new path by collecting all the luck of our barbarians. ”
When she said this, a figure seemed to appear in the woman's eyes, wearing a white Confucian shirt, her hair was simply coiled up with a wooden hairpin, and the tail of the hairpin was also carved with a cloud.
The man had a book in his hand and a sword hanging from his waist.
"He left me a book called Taoism, and I have been reading it for the past few days, and I am deeply moved. ”
The wind blowing high in the sky blew the high priest's long green hair, as if the whole sea of waves was fluttering, and then he gently beckoned, and from a distance stretched a small branch, on which was a book, and at the same time exuded a faint fragrance, this refreshing fragrance, containing an indescribable charm.
The high priest raised his hand to remove the previous sermon and gently turned the first page, but there was no word on it.
The Dao rhyme that permeated the void became thicker and thicker, and then the entire Dao Treatise seemed to be burning, evaporating upwards and converging, turning into a pale golden sword, suspended in the air, the high priest stretched out his white fingers, pinched the small sword in the air, and a soft voice followed.
"Gathering all the good fortunes of our people, Holy Child, may Mother Jungle bless you. ”
"High Priest not!"
Before the sound of the priests below stopped, the woman's hand holding the golden sword lightly slashed on her face, and the position happened to be the fifth totem on her face, this pale golden sword transformed by Taoism has an incomparable edge, directly on the totem bar to cut a wound, and then a drop of red and gold blood dripped out from the wound, as the blood flowed out, the fifth totem on the high priest's face gradually disappeared, and his face instantly aged like an old woman.
The woman raised her hand and held the drop of holy blood in the palm of her hand, and her right hand gradually descended, and then made a gentle stroke on the baby's face in the cradle.
It was the fifth totem on the face of the night.
