Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 340: Yuan Chang’s fear
The place to welcome Wu Zu was by the water pool Wu Mian saw before he arrived at Miao Village. When Wu Mian and the others arrived, the place was already crowded with people. It seems like a grand party is being held here. Thousands of Miao men are surrounding the pool, and thousands of Miao women are sitting on the periphery, pointing and laughing at the men in front.
Lin Huo has some prestige among these people. After he arrived, several Miao men sitting on the edge of the water pool got up one after another, and after a few words in Miao language, they all gave up their positions. Lin Huo gave in a few times, but was pressed down by a few other Miao men and sat down, but those people did it behind.
Wu Mian, Lin Huo, and Lin Huo's nephew Yang Xiao sat together. Lin Huo was afraid that Wu Mian could not understand the Miao language and would be restrained, so he spoke with him without a word. As everyone knows, the more this is the case, the more bored Wu Mian feels in his heart.
After a while, the sky slowly turned dark. The originally noisy sound has also become quiet, and only the sound of waterfalls can be heard. It was pitch black all around, and no one was lighting a candle. After a long while, suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and then, the waterfall that was rushing down unexpectedly radiated a faint light.
After the waterfall fell into the water pool, the entire water pool emitted a layer of light that seemed to be invisible. As the glowing waterfall continued to flow into the pool, the fluorescence became more and more obvious, even reflecting the appearance of the people sitting in the front row. Except for Wu Mian, everyone here has seen such a scene more than once. No one was surprised at the moment.
Seeing that the light from the pool is getting brighter and brighter, at this moment, a layer of ripples suddenly appeared in the center of the pool, which was calm like a mirror. Slowly, water splashes kept popping up at the center of the ripples, and then the water splashes became denser and denser like a pot was boiling. At this moment, a person slowly emerged from the water, showing his head first and then his body. After a while, he stood on the water and shouted a Miao language to everyone on the edge of the pool.
This sentence ignited the emotions of all the Miao people around. Except for Wu Mian, who was sitting on the spot and squinting at the people who came from the bottom of the water, everyone including Lin Huo and Yang Xiao jumped up from the ground and rushed hoarsely. shouting something to the person standing on the water.
At this time, Wu Mian could already see clearly that the person standing on the water was in his 60s or 70s. The old man standing on the water should be the protagonist tonight - Wu Zu. I saw that he stretched out his hands and pressed down a few times, and the shouts of everyone stopped instantly.
Ancestor Wu said a few words in Miao language to the crowd, and the faces of the Miao people around the pool changed color. Wu Mian really didn't understand what happened. When he went to ask about the forest fire, the forest fire was already standing on the spot like a log. He couldn't hear Wu Mian's question at all. He just kept repeating what Wu Zu said. Yang Xiao could also speak a few Mandarin, and answered Wu Mian's question for his uncle: "Wu Zu, want to choose an heir...;...;"
It's no wonder why the Miao people are crazy. Just when Wu Mian felt bored and was about to leave, Wu Zu on the water said a few words one after another. When his voice fell, twenty or thirty old men came out from behind the crowd. These old people are holding more than a dozen incense sticks in their hands, and seeing a Miao man is like giving him one incense stick in his hand.
After a while, all the Miao men at the edge of the pool, including Wu Mian, each had a fine incense stick in their hands. The people in the back began to move closer to the water pool. Seeing that more and more people gathered, the people in the front row had been soaked in the water pool with their squeezed calves.
Wu Zu on the water folded his hands together. After a while, when he spread his hands again, a blue flame appeared in the palm of his hand. Wu Zu held the flame and slowly walked towards the crowd. The people who had already been squeezed into the water pool scattered, making way for the old man.
After Wu Zu walked out of the pool, he said something. The Miao people around him began to form a formation consciously, walked to Wu Zu in order, and lit their incense with the blue fire ball in his hand.
"What do you mean by this?" Wu Mian didn't understand what was going on, but he couldn't expect Lin Huo to answer. Wu Mian didn't pay attention, and Lin Huo had already held up the incense row to the front. This question was still answered by Yang Xiao on behalf of his uncle: "Leveraging Wu Zu's holy fire to light the incense in their hands, whoever burns the incense last will belong to the next Wu Zu"
Wu Mian smiled playfully, and said to himself: "Is there still a choice for Wu Zu? Whoever is standing at the end, he is the next Wu Zu." Fortunately, the people around him also Unable to understand what he said, Yang Xiao pretended not to hear it, and moved forward step by step even among the incense sticks.
Wu Mian originally wanted to throw the incense and leave, but looking at the mighty incense-lighting team, his mind moved to the end of the team, and he staggered forward.
The Miao people lit incense stood or sat around, staring at the incense head carefully, not even daring to let out the air, for fear that because of their breath, the process of burning their incense would be accelerated. After more than half an hour, Wu Mian finally arrived at the last place in the line.
After seeing Wu Mian's appearance up close, Wu Zu was stunned. While he was lighting the incense, Wu Zu whispered something in Miao language, but unfortunately Wu Mian didn't know what he was talking about. After nodding at Wu Zu carelessly, he turned and left.
It's just that he didn't take a few steps when he saw a sudden flash of fire in his hand, and the long incense in his hand turned out to be like a twist of gunpowder after a dry year, and the fire flashed and burned cleanly. Just when Wu Mian was in a daze, the old man who had just delivered the incense came over behind him, pointing to the outside of the pool and talking non-stop. This did not need to be translated to know that he was asked to leave here. Among the thousands of people who chose Wu Zu, Wu Mian was the first to be eliminated. Amidst the laughter of the Miao people, Wu Mian left the water pool inexplicably, leaving behind an ancestor Wu who was just as inexplicable as him, looking at the back of the white-haired young man with an incredible look.
Wu Mian didn't expect such a result. According to the thoughts just now, with his qualifications, even if he can't be the next Wu Zu, he can still attract the attention of this Wu Zu. Wu Zu has passed through countless generations of inheritance. From his mouth, it should not be difficult to find out the location on the map, but who would have thought that he would be the first out of the game...;...;
After returning to his bamboo building, Wu Mian finally did not understand why he was the first to be eliminated. Could it be because he did not have Miao blood? Or is there a conflict between your own alchemist's magic and sorcery? Just when Wu Mian was thinking about it, there was a loud noise outside. Looking out through the window of the bamboo building, it was brightly lit outside, and the forest fire was surrounded by everyone and returned to the village. Seeing his smile so hard that his mouth could not close, Wu Mian had already guessed who the next Wuzu would belong to.
Although it was already midnight, no one wanted to rest. The elders in the village started to slaughter pigs and steamed cakes, and in the middle of the night, they began to make arrangements for the next Wu Zu. With the light of the torches, everyone set up a table in the open space of the village. After the wine and meat were placed, a long table feast began. At this time, no one naturally thought of it, Wu Mian, who was the first to be eliminated just now.
This is the first witch ancestor in the village, and it is impossible for such a big happy event to be drunk. The banquet continued until dawn, when no one could stand up from the wine table. Taking this opportunity, Wu Mian came out of his bamboo building, walked to the drunken cat-like forest fire, and called him a pulse.
After a while, the expression on Wu Mian's face became surprised, he let go of Lin Huo's hand, looked at his red face, and said: "I can't see, you and I are so similar...;...; "While speaking, a small porcelain vase appeared in Wu Mian's palm. While playing with the vase, he looked at the drunken forest fire and said to himself, "Do you dare to take this risk?"
