Chapter 472: High Priest, Jimo [Ask a Leave]
"What do you see?" Gong Xichou thought to her when he saw her, "If you don''t understand, brother can tell you now."
The genealogy is the inheritance of the entire Gongxi clan.
In the future, it will be handed over to Gongxilai.
Gongxi asked, "Why is there a Jimo family?"
As a matriarchal clan, both men and women will naturally follow the Gongxi clan, but there is also Jimo clan in the genealogy, which means that different surnames can also be listed in the genealogy. It is strange that there is no third surname. Could it be that Gongxi''s family has been married to Jimo''s family?
"Jimo? Oh, you said the high priest."
"High priest?"
Gong Xichou said: "Our clan believes in gods. Every year, there are other important festivals, the whole clan gathering will be held, usually hosted by the high priest. Each generation will select a heir of the high priest to inherit ''Jimo''."
He continued, "I heard that the high priest is the only person who can communicate with gods, but some gods are talking nonsense..."
This character has a special status in the Gongxi tribe, and he listens to oracles and conveys his tribe members. Things within the clan are generally decided by the clan leader and the high priest. If the two have different opinions, the respected clan elders will come forward to vote to ensure operation.
The Gongxi people love singing and dancing.
It is also because the high priest said that gods like singing and dancing the most.
Speaking of this—
Gong Xichou also reminded his elder sister: "If you have children in the future, remember to try it at the altar of the clan center. Every high priest was selected by the gods. Alas, Gong Xi tribe was exterminated, which may have something to do with the high priest..."
He is still very superstitious in this regard.
"Is it the high priest''s rebellion?"
Gong Xichou shook his head: "This is not the case."
The high priest wants to become a traitor, and the whole clan is in a mess.
only-
"…I have been exterminated before the candidates for high priests appeared. The previous generation, the one around my mother, was said to have passed away from illness. The previous generation seemed to be when he went out to do business, and his name on the genealogy was suddenly crossed out..."
“Most of the tribe believe that he died unexpectedly.”
"But there are also voices saying that he gave up his faith."
The high priest must be the person who is the most pious to God in the clan.
Borrow the special abilities granted by the gods to protect the clan land. Once you abandon your faith, your name will naturally be removed.
However, this example has not been seen in the two hundred years of hidden history of the Gongxi tribe, and this speculation is untenable.
"The high priest is crucial to our clan. Many years ago, there was a tribe who went out and brought death to the clan land. You may have heard of the tragedy of the Wu Kingdom, which was caused by that guy... That time he relied on oracles to warn him. Our generation is not so lucky."
The new high priest candidate has not come out, and the adults have been in a row and have been accidental. The senior high priest who has long retired has no choice but to give up his retirement career and preside over important occasions such as the birth date of the gods. After all, I am old and I can’t do anything.
For example, when listening to the oracle, it is not accurate at the right time.
Gong Xiqiu dreamed of replacing it when he was very young. Because the dance posture of the high priest with white hair and beard is really ugly.
If he goes, he will definitely be the most beautiful boy in the clan!
The new favorite of the god!
The public and western regions are not paying attention to other places.
"Isn''t this brother''s biological father?"
"This one around my mother" was actually replaced.
Gong Xichou explained: "Well... In order to avoid the neonatal problems caused by too close blood relationships among the tribe, some adult women can choose intermarriage within the tribe, or they can choose to leave the tribe and go outside to find a man whom they like."
"Bring it back?" Gongxi asked.
"No, bring the child back after giving birth. It''s fine for men from foreign races, but most of them are people with bad intentions."
Gongxi came: “…”
She seemed to know why so many tribesmen had no spouse''s names next to her, and they all did this together.
Gong Xichou said: "My brother should be the child of the high priest and his mother. But something happened to him, and my mother went out to find someone with her uncle''s encouragement and found me. My mother''s husband may not be my biological father."
As a half-brother, it is quite common in the clan.
Gongxi came: “…”
"Alas, if the first two high priests were there, perhaps our clan could not be immune from extermination and could also reduce casualties." Gong Xiqiong''s eyes were a little sad, "The clan was attacked by a strong enemy, and the old priest was old, and the clan could not use the means used to defend the enemy to the maximum, so that the clan members did not escape in time, and there were traitors, so the whole clan died..."
Gongxi came to comfort him: "Everything is over."
“Yes, it’s all over…”
Gong Xiqiu is not a person who likes to indulge in the past. He has to look forward and talk about other things when the enemy is killed.
And this-
It''s almost realized.
Gongxiqiu hopes that Gongxi can have more children when he comes to the west. As long as one of them can be appointed by the gods as the heir of the high priest, the safety of the clan land can be enough to protect itself.
But, this matter depends too much on luck. The choice of a person not only depends on the preferences of the gods, but also tests the nature of the chosen person.
Only a heartfelt, pious and firm faith can truly impress the God of Service and obtain its protection.
If your mind is not strong...
Even if it is the Gongxi clan...
There was also a new generation of high priests who could not wait for decades.
"It''s getting late. Let''s go to bed first. I''ll pack my bags tomorrow and I''ll send my confidant to the clan''s land."
?(ω)
There are some things at home that I started writing very late, alas...
