Chapter 397: A Touch of Yi Characteristics

Liu Zheng was instantly Sparta.

But.

The scene was already like this.

The handsome men and beautiful women of Meigu here were still singing and dancing, with toast songs never ceasing. There were even those dancing around him.

This...

Although he couldn't hear clearly, the melody was there.

"Noble guest from Longyan, please accept the friendship of us Inuo People!"

Huobu Quli laughed heartily.

Liu Zheng coughed dryly.

It seems if he doesn't sing, this won't be friendly...

Qin Zhangfeng held back his laughter, and Pei Yanran also held back hers. Liu Zheng glared fiercely at the two of them and cleared his throat once more.

Fine then...

Thinking back to the past, he himself was a member of the Great Learning choir; singing a song wasn't difficult.

He looked at these men and women before him, with their faces full of expectation, simplicity, and celebration.

Here it comes.

Isn't it just a toast song?

Brother is going to sing!

He opened his mouth, his face beaming with joy.

"Fine wine wafts fragrance, songs fly, my friend, please drink a cup, please drink a cup.

The moment of victory is unforgettable, the cup is sprinkled with tears of happiness.

Come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come.

In the fifth month, the spring thunder rumbles,

Hundreds of millions of people raise their golden cups!

The heart-warming wine is thick and beautiful, one thousand cups, ten thousand cups, and one will not be drunk.

Holding the fine wine, I gaze toward Jinghua, my heroic spirit surpasses the Yangtze River, surpasses the Yangtze River.

The bright future is guided by the Party, ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers are bathed in morning light..."

"Pfft..."

Pei Yanran almost spat it out.

Qin Zhangfeng was directly stunned.

Huobu Quli was also dumbfounded listening.

That group of Yi men and women, at the beginning, upon hearing this song, were also completely bewildered, but very quickly, they followed along and started dancing.

This song...

It was too cheerful, too catchy.

"Ah ah ah ah, it's killing me with laughter!"

Pei Yanran was already laughing until she was doubled over, unable to stop herself from leaning on Qin Zhangfeng's back.

Those soldiers of the Liangzhou Army were also swaying from side to side.

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

Wasn't it you all who asked me to sing? Is it not good to listen to?

It's been a long time since I sang, might as well sing a bit more...

I'll give you some more of your Daliang Mountain specialties!

"A Jie Lu, A Jie Lu..."

"Fine wine wafts fragrance..."

The entire scene was almost about to spiral out of control.

"A Jie Lu, A Jie Lu, he knows A Jie Lu!"

"The Longyan noble knows A Jie Lu!"

For a time, those singing and those dancing could not stop at all.

Huobu Quli smacked his lips a few times, his face covered in black lines: "Noble guest, noble guest, that's enough, that's enough..."

"Ah? Just this?"

Liu Zheng looked regretful.

Honestly speaking, with people providing dance, singing was still quite good.

Huobu Quli laughed heartily: "My lord from Longyan, you said in your letter that the men of the Alu Clan are born with spiritual connection and have come to bring us Holy Water; is this true or false?"

Once these words were spoken, the whole scene fell silent.

Countless eyes, some suspicious, others very devout. The Alu Clan has produced a natural Bimo? Doesn't this mean the true master of Liangshan has descended?

"Oh, is this a grace brought by the ancestors?"

"A Bimo has descended from heaven to stabilize our Liangshan!"

"Alu Clan, Alu Clan!"

Many people were already waving their arms and shouting.

Liu Zheng chuckled; his own performance was over, it was time for Xiao Heitan to perform.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly, another group of people emerged from the crowd.

"The Great Bimo is here!"

"This..."

"This is going to be interesting!"

Chierhadu, an old man wearing elaborate attire, approached slowly on a palanquin carried by several people. The Great Bimo! Many people swallowed hard, and the shouting from just a moment ago vanished instantly.

The Great Bimo brought other Bimo and Suni with him.

This was already the highest standard of religious belief in the Liangshan region.

As Meigu was the center of religious belief in the Liangshan region, the status of Chierhadu could not be considered low. This old man certainly put on quite an air.

With a look of arrogance on his face, he arrived at the scene.

At this, even the Headman with the small trouser legs at the moment, Huobu Quli, had an unnatural expression on his face. After all, it was only a few days ago that he had led his troops to promote this Chierhadu as the Great Bimo, and now, by turning around to welcome this Aluba, it really did feel a bit like casting aside one's benefactor.

"Born with spiritual connection?"

Chierhadu chuckled, a flash of mockery in his eyes: "Ever since I became a Bimo of Meigu, I have never heard of anyone born with a spiritual connection. Which generation of Bimo did not become one only after reading extensively and possessing a strong memory? Noble guest from Longyan, you do not understand our Liangshan faith, so do not make a fool of yourself."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Many people immediately expressed their support for Chierhadu.

Liu Zheng also smiled slightly.

Bimo, translated, means "elder who chants scriptures"; they are high priests who specialize in chanting praises, praying, and performing sacrifices for others.

There is even a saying in Liangshan proverbs: "The knowledge of a Degu is in the hundreds, the knowledge of a Zimo is in the thousands, and the knowledge of a Bimo is countless." Therefore, the old man before him was likely just the person who had read the most books in this Daliang Mountain, nothing more.

But since you want to play the charlatan, let us see who is better at playing the charlatan.

Liu Zheng smiled and cupped his hands: "Old man, born with spiritual connection means born with spiritual connection. Since the Great Bimo is the one on Liangshan who reaches the ears of Heaven, why are you not happy that there is someone born with a spiritual connection? What is it, old man, are you afraid that an eight-year-old child will threaten your status?"

"You..."

Chierhadu was so angry on the spot that his face turned livid.

"Presumptuous!"

"How dare you be disrespectful to the Great Bimo!"

The Yi warriors at the scene shouted angrily one after another.

Liu Zheng smiled coldly.

Back when he first arrived in Meigu, he had already observed the situation of these Yi troops. Their physical fitness was not bad, but their Weaponry and Equipment were extremely backward... Curved Sabers, Javelins, and one look at the material suggested they were all made of Pig Iron... In other words, in Liu Zheng's eyes, this was completely the state of a primitive society.

They could not withstand a single blow!

"What are you doing? What do you want to do?"

Sure enough, the Liangzhou Army immediately stood out, guarding Liu Zheng's side.

Huobu Quli, standing nearby, sighed and hurriedly stepped out to smooth things over: "This is a noble guest from Longyan, do not be rude! As for whether he is born with a spiritual connection, one try will tell. Besides, even if he is not born with a spiritual connection, he is a descendant of the Alu Clan; it is only right and proper for him to lead Liangshan!"

Chierhadu smiled coldly: "How to try? Does the Headman really believe a little brat is here to bring us Holy Water? Where in this Daliang Mountain is there no mountain spring? Is this rare?"

Huobu Quli had not yet spoken.

At this moment, the door of the Horse Carriage had already slowly opened.

"My Holy Water can prosper Liangshan, stabilize hearts, calm Heaven and Earth, and dispel demonic obstacles."

"Since it is Holy Water, it must come from Heaven."

"Water without a source is the only Holy Water..."

Everyone's eyes could not help but look over.

Just then.

A little boy dressed in Bimo attire and decked out in full regalia walked over slowly with a solemn expression.

If it were just this, it would of course be nothing special.

However...

The scene that followed left everyone stunned.

The little boy appeared to be walking down from the sky. In one hand he held a bamboo basket, and the other hand was pressed against his chest. At the four cardinal directions of his body, there was a candle each...

What shocked everyone was.

That flower basket was actually filled to the brim with clear water!

Carrying water in a bamboo basket?

Boom!

Everyone in the crowd could not help but kneel down, chanting in unison that the ancestral gods had descended to the world.
