Chapter 189 Chishi, the Prophet and the Sheep

A long smoke rises from the open valley, and it floats high into the sky before dissipating leisurely, but the voice of people echoes in the forest for a long time.

It was still light, and the tribe was already in a celebration-like atmosphere.

Language is not an obstacle when it comes to delicious food. Tiger Tongue and the women joined the dinner preparation team with advanced cooking techniques and all kinds of condiments, attracting the attention of countless people and learning from them.

The people at the foot of the mountain had already heard from Babu and others that the sky priest used the power of the sky to make all things grow. While amazed, they all beat their chests and felt annoyed that they did not witness that great scene with their own eyes.

Theories about "aggressive spirits of fire and tolerant skies" also spread like a virus.

Of course, it inevitably spread to the ears of the people on the mountain.

"nonsense!"

Chi Yan was furious, and he was keenly aware that the sky priest was not only here to be a guest, but also to ruin his place.

Ah Meng and the hunters were taken aback. In their impression, this calm and calm priest was rarely so emotional.

Chi Yan paced back and forth, forcing himself to calm down, thinking about how to refute this fallacy.

Have no idea.

Even the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what the other party said was reasonable. Huo Ling did have a very powerful and very dangerous power. Once he couldn't control it, he might endanger himself.

Chi Yan was even more annoyed, and angered Ah Meng and others: "You didn't refute him at that time?"

"This……"

Ah Meng and the others lowered their heads in shame, they dared not tell the truth that they had thrown themselves into the embrace of the sky.

Annoyance is annoyance, Lord Wizard is still going to visit, if the high priest dies, that wizard is their only hope.

Therefore, Chi Yan was very polite to Lin Yu, but to his competitors...he only regarded Zhang Tian as an interpreter.

"The hunters are looking in the mountains and will find it soon!"

No matter how convincing Chi Yan said, the words themselves were very unfounded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Borg's rough voice behind him: "Master Priest, it's time to fulfill your promise."

Zhang Tian has noticed Borg a long time ago. Known as a giant, he stands out from the crowd even in the mountain tribes that are generally tall and horsey. He is more than 1.9 meters tall by visual inspection, which is half a head taller than the people around him. Do you want to pay attention? It is difficult to reach him.

Borg is still naked, with only a broad leaf covering his body to cover key parts. This is because of the arrival of distinguished guests. Under his mother's strong request, he had to sacrifice a little personal freedom, but only this little concession has already It made him very upset.

Chi Yan turned around, his eyes gleamed with excitement, and his arms trembled slightly due to excitement!

"This is Chishi, right?"

Borg kept throwing the smooth and round red stones, completely ignoring the sacred objects of the people on the mountain, but Ah Meng and the others were terrified when they saw it, for fear that his hand would slip and break the treasure.

"Where's the high priest?"

Asking Chiyan like this is a disguised admission that this is Chishi.

"I didn't see anyone, most of them are dead, and the body was dragged away by wild beasts." Borg concluded straightforwardly.

Chi Yan's face was very ugly. He knew that the fact was likely to be just like Borg said, the red stone was the most important sacred object of the tribe, and the high priest never left the stone.

But after asking about the place where he found it, he felt strange again. Could it be that after offering sacrifices to the mountain, Ziyan didn't choose to go back the same way, but went in the opposite direction?
Borg didn't care about Chi Yan's thoughts at all, his eyes swept across Zhang Tian and Lin Yu, and finally fell on Zhang Tian: "Are you the priest of the sky?"

"Borg, pay attention to your attitude, the priest and the wizard are the most honored guests."

Babu reminded.

Borg ignored him, still looking down at Zhang Tian with his height advantage, and his tone was also condescending: "I heard that you can use the power of the sky to make plants grow? Show me."

"Borg!"

Babu got a little angry, and stopped in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Hutou also took a few steps forward and stood in front of Zhang Tian. Although he couldn't understand the grassland language, he still had sharp eyesight.

When he first saw Borg, Hutou was also taken aback. He thought he was already tall, but the other person was half a head taller than him, and had a strong figure. The bulging muscles on his arms and chest were impressive Very powerful.

Borg's attention was immediately attracted by the tiger's head, and his eyes were straightened.

He couldn't help but put his hand on Hutou's shoulder.

Hutou glanced at the other's dark hand on his shoulder, and was a little dazed for a moment, unable to tell whether it was kind or malicious.

Until Borg's big hand slid down to his arm and squeezed it lightly.

The hairs all over Hutou's body stood up, and a chill gushed out from the bottom of his heart, spreading to all limbs and bones in an instant.He immediately knocked off the opponent's hand with a wave and glared at it.

Borg grinned, pointed to himself, and said, "Borg."

Then he poked the tiger head's strong chest muscles and asked word by word: "What's your name?"

Hutou could guess what the other party meant, but he refused to answer.

He likes to compete with strong people, and the competition with Bubba is very enjoyable, but this guy's eyes and smile make him feel sick.

He is not a normal person, Hu Tou faintly sensed it.

Babu stepped forward and gave it a hard push.

Borg staggered, took two steps back before standing still, and said angrily, "Bub, do you want to fight?"

Babu immediately snapped back: "Put away your hobbies, don't embarrass your mother anymore!"

When it came to his mother, Borg restrained himself a little. No matter how he went his own way, he would still listen to what his mother said.

Chi Yan didn't understand what the two were arguing about, and he didn't care, so he found a chance to speak at this time, so he asked Borg for Chishi.

"Where's the holy stone?"

"I don't have so many around me. When I get back to the mountain, I will send someone to send them down."

"Then when you send the holy stone, I will give you this stone."

Chi Yan frowned, and said patiently: "Dashan is brewing anger, and it may erupt at any time. It will be good for you to calm Dashan's anger as soon as possible."

However, no matter how he explained it, Borg always insisted on paying the money and delivering the goods.

Stupid mountain people!

Chi Yan cursed inwardly, and could only retreat and said: "Then, you will go up the mountain with us tomorrow, and we will exchange tribes on the mountain, so it will be okay?"

"Yes." Borg readily agreed.

"But before that," Chi Yan changed the topic, "I must first confirm that this stone is the Chishi we are looking for."

"It's just as you describe."

"It just looks the same, or you may have made a fake one according to my description."

Zhang Tian showed a knowing smile. He knew that Chiyan was in Borg. With the material, smoothness and nearly perfect arc of the five-color stone, stonemasons of this era could not polish it, and there was no such thing as fake or shoddy.

The red stone in Borg's hand is genuine, there is no doubt about it.

Chi Yan's question made Borg very unhappy, he suppressed his anger and asked, "How do you want to confirm?"

"It's very simple." Chi Yan pointed to Lin Yu, "Give it to the wizard of the Sky Clan. If she can control the flame, it means that this is the real Chishi."

Zhang Tian didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, doing his best to interpret simultaneously for Lin Yu.

After translating the last sentence, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and both understood Chi Yan's intention.

The tribe on the mountain is good at making stone tools. Chi Yan must know that with the current level of stone making, he can't make fakes. He seems to be questioning the authenticity of Chishi, but in fact he wants to test Lin Yu's reality and see if she can really control Chishi. .

Just in time, Zhang Tian also wants to know how much power Chishi can exert in Lin Yu's hands. If it is not as expected, then no matter what, he will not let Lin Yu take risks, even if he kidnaps her, he will kidnap her, anyway. He is very experienced.

Borg was a little hesitant. To be honest, he didn't believe in the story of the five-color stone at all, and he didn't believe that this bamboo pole with no breasts and butt could control the flames.

He suspected that this was impossible, so that Chi Yan could take the opportunity to say that the Chishi he found was a fake.

Cunning mountain people!

Thinking of this, Borg sneered, and was about to refute, when Ah Niu suddenly ran over in a hurry and said loudly, "Master Priest! Sir Wizard! Mother is going to hold a welcome ceremony for you! Lord Chi Yan, you too come together."

At first, Chi Yan thought he was calling himself, but then realized that Zhang Tian and Lin Yu were invited, and he was just incidental, and his mood suddenly became ugly.

Mother has invited us, so we can only discuss the matter of Chishi later.

Everyone walked towards the central square, the closer they got, the stronger the smell of mutton, which completely overwhelmed the aroma of the food, Lin Yu frowned, he couldn't bear it, but Zhang Tian's body was very sweet.

Everyone has gathered here, and the huge square is divided into hundreds of sites, large and small, by the fires, and food is being cooked in every fire, just like the banquets set up when the guests are entertained in later generations, and everyone sat in orderly Sitting down, although there are many people, it is not messy.

The tribe at the foot of the mountain would only gather all members of the tribe to have a feast together on very special days. For the people at the foot of the mountain, a formal dinner is a grand ceremony, and today is obviously a special day.

Pujie and five other old women in gorgeous costumes sat in the largest fire pit in the center of the square. The table was almost full of women, with only a few prestigious men, including Bob and Borg, and of course There are Zhang Tian and Chi Yan as guests.

The other guests were arranged in the fire pits closest to the "main table".

Babu still followed Zhang and Lin and acted as their commentator.

Lin Yu was a little restrained. She was in the academic circle, and she was not used to this kind of social dinner. She glanced at Zhang Tian, ​​but saw that he looked calm. Thinking of her language barrier, he was responsible for everything, so she followed him. Just eat and drink, and you will feel more at ease.

The two saluted and said hello to the six mothers.

I was away from home and had no possessions. Fortunately, the people at the foot of the mountain liked their pottery bowls, so I picked six relatively delicate and beautiful ones and gave them to them.

Pujie smiled and said, "Bub, take the wizard to pick the sheep."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a commotion.

Lin Yu was puzzled, but this did not prevent her from pulling Zhang Tian together.Blessings must be shared, and difficulties must be shared.

After walking a certain distance, Zhang Tian quietly asked Babu why.

Babu laughed and said: "Mother will pray for the wizard, which will take a lot of effort. She has never prayed for outsiders before, and you are the first."

Immediately afterwards, Babu described in detail the origin and process of blessing.

In the eyes of the people at the foot of the mountain, the sheep is a sacred and rare bird.

A long, long time ago, their ancestors fled to the foot of the mountain and followed the footsteps of the flocks to discover this mountain valley with an excellent geographical location. The terrain here is wide, the water source is abundant, and surrounded by mountains on three sides, blocking the howling cold wind on the grassland. Great for settling in.

Sheep are very docile animals. In their view, this kind of docility is a kind of selfless and sacred dedication. They donate their milk, hair and even flesh and blood to nourish every generation of people living on the grassland.

They believe that sheep can guide them, just as their ancestors followed the guidance of sheep to find their current homeland.

But not everyone can see the guidance of the sheep. This is a kind of talent. People with this talent are called "prophets". The prophet can read the guidance of the sheep, see what will happen in the future, and then help people avoid disasters. .

Puje is the current prophet.

Lin Yu was stunned, of course she would not believe this set of rhetoric, but she respected the traditions of the tribe at the bottom of the mountain, accepted this kindness and was willing to cooperate.

Babu took the two of them to a sheepfold and asked the wizard to go in and pick a young sheep.

Without thinking too much, Lin Yu went into the sheepfold and picked out the thinnest lamb, stroked its head and said sorry in his heart, and then led it out to Babu.

Go back to the central square.

Under the eyes of everyone, Babu cut a small opening in the lamb's chest with a sharp bone knife, reached in and cut off the coronary artery near its heart, and put it to death gently, ending its short life.

A large cup of sheep's blood was brought to Lin Yu.

"Drink it up." Pujie said, "The sheep's blood will bring you good luck and save you from suffering."

Lin Yu's face was distressed, she had already held her breath, and the strong salty smell was still burrowing into her nose.

Zhang Tian took the wooden cup from her hand and said, "I share the good fortune and the misfortune with the wizard, and we share weal and woe. It's the same whether she drinks it or I drink it. I'll drink it for her."

After speaking, he leaned back and drank freely. He had drunk a lot of raw blood before, and the taste was acceptable. As for the various bacteria in the blood, this body can completely bear it.

When the cup was handed over to Lin Yu again, it was already empty.

Lin Yu gave Zhang Tian a grateful look, then raised his neck and put on a show.

Babu dissected the sheep skillfully.

The prophet must observe a specific part of the chosen sheep in order to know its fate.

The specific parts observed by each prophet are different, and what Pu Jie observes is sheep intestines.

Chi Yan was bored watching Pu Jie observe the sheep's intestines, feeling amused in his heart, thinking that this kind of stupid thing can only be done by people from the bottom of the mountain, on the surface he remained calm and followed the etiquette of the guests.

The other guests also heard about what was going on from the people at the foot of the mountain. Because the territory was divided and it was not easy to get close, they stretched their necks and looked around curiously.

When Pu Jie was observing the intestines, Zhang Tian was observing her, and saw her concentrate on opening the intestines, looking over and over again, sometimes brows were happy, and sometimes they were frowning, as if she could really read information from it.

He originally thought that Pu Jie was just a kind old lady, but he didn't expect to have a good ability to play tricks.

The people at the bottom of the mountain obviously believed in this, and all of them looked solemn, waiting for the result quietly.

Finally, Pu Jie let out a long breath, as if she had gone through a marathon, her face was full of tiredness.

Everyone stared at her, waiting for the final result. They knew that mother was not only praying for the wizard, but also peeking into the future of the wizard, to see if she could overcome the coming disaster.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, after some members of the clan dreamed of guiding dreams, Pu Jie used this method to see the fate of the tribe, and confirmed that the guidance of the ancestors was correct. A catastrophe of survival.

It is also because of this that the people down the mountain swarmed to believe in the sky, and Babu led the hunters to set off in a hurry, non-stop to visit the wizard.

It is Chi Yan's argument that the wizard can eliminate this disaster.

The words of the people on the mountain may not be reliable, so Pu Jie decided to verify it herself. This will consume a lot of her mental energy and even her life, but for the future of the tribe, she will not hesitate.

Pu Jie calmed down her panting, straightened her hunched back, looked around the audience, and said loudly: "This young wizard will help us tide over the difficulties! She will overcome the coming disaster!"

There was a moment of silence in the audience, and the next moment, cheers resounded through the valley.

Well, it turned out to be to boost the morale of the tribe...

It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Tian and Lin Yu understood Pu Jie's intention.

Oh, that's right...

Zhang Tian frowned, he was dissatisfied with this, Pu Jie's doing this was no different from moral kidnapping, now, everyone was counting on Lin Yu to be their savior, she couldn't even back down.

However, Zhang Tian doesn't care about these, he will never let Lin Yu do what she can't do, no matter what, personal safety is the most important thing.

Borg on the side scratched his head. He couldn't trust Chi Yan, but he had no doubts about his mother's words. Even her mother said so, which showed that this wizard did have two brushes.

Maybe she really can control the fire?
Although it was unbelievable, he still walked up to Lin Yu.

Zhang Tian pulled Lin Yu slightly behind him, this guy is a lunatic and a villain, the crow said so more than once, Zhang Tian has preconceived prejudices against him.

Borg didn't come to find fault. He handed Chishi to Lin Yu and said in a condescending tone, "Prove it to me."

At the end, I added a disclaimer: "If you can't do it, it's not that there's something wrong with the stone, it's that you can't do it."

The red stone fell into his hands, and Lin Yu immediately felt the power contained in it.

Different from the warm and pure white stone and the vibrant blue stone, the red stone is vigorous and manic, like a blazing flame, and like a rebellious beast.

Seeing the wizard holding the red stone and raising his hand to point at the blazing bonfire, everyone fell silent again.

Chi Yan stared at her, stared at the red stone in her hand, held her breath, but her heart beat like a drum.He is more nervous than anyone.

At this moment, the flame suddenly turned into a long red dragon, charging straight up!
