Villager of Destiny

Chapter 209 Middle Cave Gu Village
Zhongdong Guzhai is not far from Shiba Tiankeng. With the blessing of the God's Walking Talisman, and we don't need to worry about other things, we only spent two days to reach Zhongdong Guzhai near.

That is, the Miaojiang area.

But after arriving here, Zhang Mingyu reminded me not to be too high-profile, so even though we hadn't reached Zhongdong Gu village, we also slowed down.

During the journey, I also learned something about the Miaojiang area.

The villages in the Miaojiang area can be divided into three parts, namely, the Gu-Yu tribe who are good at raising Gu, the Gu-controlling tribe who are good at controlling Gu, and the Gu King lineage.

The Zhongdong Gu Village belongs to the lineage of the Gu King, after all, it is the village where the first Gu King resides, but because of what happened in the Zhongdong Gu Village that year, the status of the Zhongdong Gu Village is now in name only.

Now it controls Weisheng Village in the entire Miaojiang area.

And the current Gu King also lives in the holy village and controls everything in Miaojiang.

If one wants to enter the Zhongdong Gu Village, one must first enter the Holy Village and obtain the permission of the Gu King, otherwise it will be regarded as trespassing.

Trespassers will have to pay a heavy price.

The light ones have Gu worms in their bodies, and they will be tortured by Gu worms all their lives.

Chong will be left in the holy village, and will be regarded as the object of refining Gu and nurturing Gu. He cannot leave here for the rest of his life, and life is better than death.

But according to what Zhang Mingyu said, this kind of thing almost never happens nowadays, and even if it happens, it will at most be a small punishment, and it will not really kill people. This is also tolerance in a certain sense in the Miaojiang area today.

But even so, trespassing is a big taboo.

And this trespassing not only includes the Zhongdong Gu village, but also the other two tribes except Shengcun.

So if we want to enter the Zhongdong Gu Village, we must first go to the Holy Village and find the Gu King.

It’s just that this matter is easy to say, if we want to go to one of the two tribes of cultivating Gu or Yugu, as long as we are sure that we are not a bad person in the holy village, we will basically be allowed to enter.

But Zhongdong Gu Village is different.

As a taboo in Miaojiang today, few people know the situation inside after so many years. Although the first Gu king may have died, after all, such a big incident happened there. Don't want anyone to go in.

After all, this is also related to Miao Jiang's face.

So we not only need to find Gu King, but also convince him.

Fortunately, I still have some confidence.

That confidence is naturally the Soul Devouring Gu worm that Li Bowen gave me. When he gave me this thing, he said that no one would stop me when I went to the Zhongdong Gu Village, which should include the current Gu King.

It was almost dark when we arrived at Shengcun.

Unlike the villages I passed by before, although Sheng Village is called a village, it is not actually a village anymore. There should be tens of thousands of people in the whole village.

When we entered the Holy Village, it was no surprise that we attracted the attention of many people.

Compared with the people here, we are obviously different, the most striking thing is the clothes.

The clothes of the people in the Holy Village look very gorgeous, with a lot of silver ornaments and bottles and cans hanging on their bodies, and there are decorations on the heads of both men and women.

Most of the male ones are headscarves, while the female ones are hair crowns and the like. I haven't seen them before, so I can't name them.

And outsiders like Zhang Mingyu and I were obviously out of place as soon as we arrived here.

But they didn't seem to care about our arrival, most of them just glanced at us and then left without even asking us.

It's just that when we were going to find someone to ask where the Gu King was, someone came.

The person who came up was a middle-aged man who looked about 50 or [-] years old.

As soon as I saw him, I felt a chill from him. Just by looking at him, I was sure that his status in this holy village was definitely not low.

The same is true.

He called himself Tian, ​​and said he was the elder of this holy village.

As for why he took the initiative to look for us, he only said that because we are foreigners, nine out of ten we came here to find the Gu King, but it is unknown if this is the real reason.

I don't care either.

As long as I can meet the Gu King, it doesn't matter what the reason is.

We followed him all the way to the middle of the holy village.

The houses in the holy village are very strange, most of them are made of stones, and the one in the middle is the largest stone house, but even though it is made of stones, it is also quite magnificent.

Elder Tian said that this is the holy temple, where King Gu lives.

But Elder Tian didn't take us in directly, but asked us to wait outside the temple after he took us outside the temple, and waited for him to meet the Gu king, who agreed to take us in again.

After Elder Tian entered the temple, Zhang Mingyu murmured in a low voice: "Junior Brother Li, why do I feel something is wrong?"

"How?" I asked.

Zhang Mingyu shook his head and said in a low voice, "I don't know either."

"I just feel that this Gu King seems to know that we are coming."

"As far as I know, in this Miaojiang, the status of an elder is very important, it can almost be said that it is second only to the existence of Gu King."

"And he went and brought us here himself."

When Zhang Mingyu said this, there was a little worry in his eyes.

I also frowned slightly.

What Zhang Mingyu said was not unreasonable.

As soon as we arrived at this holy village, the Elder Tian came here. I don't believe it is as simple as what he said, just because we are foreigners and think we are going to find the Gu King.

"Why don't we go first?" Zhang Mingyu said after thinking for a while.

I shook my head and said, "Didn't you say that if you want to enter the Zhongdong Gu village, you must first obtain the Gu King's permission."

"Without his permission we are trespassing."

Zhang Mingyu sighed.

"Too."

"But be careful anyway."

"I'll go in after a while, if there's anything wrong, brother, you go first, and brother will cut off the rear for you."

Hearing this, I felt a little warm in my heart, and then said with a smile: "Probably not."

"What if the Gu King has received the news that we are coming?"

My words are not groundless.

I have no doubt that Li Bowen has already been here.

Of course.

This is just my guess.

But apart from this point, I really can't think of any other reasons why Elder Natian took us here on his own initiative.

Not long after, Elder Tian came out of the temple, and he looked at us with a smile.

"You two, you can go in."

Zhang Mingyu glanced at me, and I nodded.

Elder Tian directly moved out of the way.

From the looks of it, he didn't intend to go in with us.

I didn't ask too much, but Zhang Mingyu frowned, but seeing that I didn't speak, he didn't ask any more, but at the same time quietly stretched his hand into his bosom, as if he was ready to take out the talisman and fight at any time.
