Chapter 123 - Strong Liquor

A group of Miao people walked down from the mountain, Ghost Li and Xiao Bai turned to look and saw seven or eight sturdy Miao soldiers escorting an elderly who looked to be in his early fifties

The loud shout just noas made by this elderly man

The surrounding Miao soldiers bowed, the agitated crowd also turned silent, everyone bowed their heads, showing deference to the elder

Until the group of people caroup, came to Ghost Li and Xiao Bai and looked at them, the two of them also assessed him at the same time

The elder’s body build was quite tall and sturdy, however because of his advanced age, grey hairs was seen at his teorous, a pair of eyes bright and piercing, right noas frowning and carefully scrutinized the two of them

Then, that elder said, “Ji li ji li hu lu lu, hu la hu la lu lu hu?”

Ghost Li was stunned, the words see hi and should be questioning his identity and his purpose here?

But he could only guess and still did not understand the ent , he was about to raise his hand and realized with a start, quickly placed his hand down and said, “wish to pay a visit to the great shaman in the altar”

As he spoke, he was feeling vexed too, these Miao people could not understand his words at all, as the point of saying it? But to reht infuriated those Miao people, for the moment he felt very anxious

Unexpectedly like Heaven had answered his prayers, the elder heard Ghost Li’s words, frowned and again assessed the clue, “You, you are Central Plains people?”

Ghost Li and Xiao Bai were shocked and then iht now the world’s sweetest sound was most probably this elder’s thick-with-local-accent words Ghost Li quickly nodded, said, “That’s right, that’s right, we have coent matter, wish to pay a visit to your honorable tribe’s shaman”

The elder glanced at the the southern border ethnic costume but the materials looked coarse However the demeanours of these two people did not look siirl, with her naturally endowed beauty, these clothes which even ordinary Miao woman would not take a fancy to, worn by her actually had an unique distinctive style

“Who are you? Why are you looking for the great shaman?” The elder drawled

Ghost Li and Xiao Bai looked at each other, cupped his hands before his chest and said, “ThisSir, I have a friend who is seriously injured, nine out of ten of her three souls and sevenonly the remnant of one soul For ten years she is like a dead person, it is really…”

When he spoke until here, an i stone chamber suddenly appeared in his mind and for one moment, he becahthe but when they saw his expression and frouessed what he was beseeching so and for a moment, had a favorable impression of this person

As for Xiao Bai standing beside Ghost Li, a pair of bright eyes watching him, at that very moment, that faint smile which had always been on her lips and looked like it had seen beyond the worldly affairs, disappeared and became solemn

Ghost Li cohtened man once advised me, this type of injury and condition would definitely need an extraordinary person who knows the Soul Return Unusual Art and use the rele soul to carry out the extraordinary spell to call back the scattered souls, so that the person could fully recover I had been searching hard for ten years but unfortunately I am unable to find it in the vast world Luckily recently, “ He glanced at Xiao Bai and continued, “recently I heard that your honorable tribe great sha extraordinary spell therefore especially careat sharateful!”

After that elder heard it, he frowned tightly, his expression looked extre at Ghost Li’s sincere expression and really did not look at he was lying, after a pause, said, “It’s rare that the Central Plains men still has such affections but I cannot decide for this o up the altar and ask for the great shaman’s decision If the elder refused to see you all then I can’t help too”

Ghost Li was exulted, nodded hurriedly and said, “Thank you Sir”

That elder nodded, hesitated for a moment then turned around and spoke a feords to the Miao soldiers beside him, those few soldiers nodded at the same time Then the Miao elder walked back to the athered around and watched the two of the out orders to protect them

As for the Miao onlookers who saw that the elder conversed in gibberish with those two outsiders (to thee was also incoherent) and then instructed those soldiers to watch over them, he himself walked back to the altar, for a moment whispers and all sorts of speculations were heard

With so many pairs of eyes, Ghost Li’s heart was heavy and his mind preoccupied, he did not notice the rest of the Miao people at all, Xiao Bai instead again revealed a sweet s nury stares

Only Xiao Hui on her shoulder was curiously looking around and not interested in those people, its gaze finally stopped on that brook by the side and developed a great interest in the fishes swi froan tolike it wanted to jump into the brook to play

The Miao altar was built entirely fro yet with a hint of primitive and crude form That elder walked up the path and came before the altar, there was a terrace in front of the altar, paved and levelled froular stone slabs Behind the terrace, here the altar was

Two enor in front of the altar, one look at it, le fissure was seen on the stone pillars, it was actually perfectly carved from one enormous stone, one really wondered where did the Miao ancestors find such an enormous stone and could actually transport and erect it before the altar

Walking past these two pillars, would be the altar built from stone The Seven Mile Cave Miao tribe altar had always been well-known in the southern border Half of it was because it was built fro directly in theout from the solid hard rock walls

The elder walked in and iht dimmed The temperature also seemed to be much lower

The elder evidently was an iure and very familiar with this sacred place in the Miao people’s hearts, he did not have any hesitation and walked straight deep into the altar, occasionally a Miao shas If Ghost Li and Xiao Bai saw it, uess the identity of this elder

For sos with the Miao shamans, other than the other shamans in the altar, only the Miao tribe leader was qualified

The elder continued to walk in, passing through the wide tunnel and caest room in this altar

Hanging above the stone door was an ornament made from a ferocious beast bones, the stone walls beside were also painted with blood, sy the devotion in ancestral sacrifice

Looking at it in the dark, all of these seee

But to the Miao people, this was the most sacred place, the elder had a solehtened out his clothes and unhurriedly walked in

In the enormous stone chamber, absolutely empty except in the innerht in the dimness

In front of the fire sat a strange stone statue carved fro but it had ten feet and even had sharp claws on it, and on its back, a pair of wings, it was really a strange statue and looked like it was the deity that the Miao people worshi+pped

And in such a huge stone chae looked very old and hunched, quietly sat before the fire, as if in meditation and also like he was reticent

This strange place so that time had stopped and came to a standstill

Over here, everything seemed still and tranquil

The fire burned strongly, causing that person’s figure in front of it, to flicker between brightness and darkness

The elderly unhurriedly walked up, stopped about one zhang before that person, lowered his voice and respectfully said, “Great shaman master”

The figure sitting in front of the fire stirred, a frail voice was heard saying, “Tu MaGu, why are you back again? The Dog deity decree, didn’t I just tell it to you just now? Unless you still have any doubts?”

The elderly as addressed as Tu MaGu, was the current tribe leader of the Miao in the southern border, he was heard respectfully replying, “Great sha deity decree fully and I will definitely do what the Dog deity’s decree said”

The great sha, “Hood But what is it that made you turn back, I sense your heart is disturbed”

Tu MaGu frowned slightly, see on how to describe the matter, after a while he decided to say it directly, “Great shaers from Central Plains have come to the Seven Mile Cave below, they hope to be able to reat shaman”

The great shaman before the fire shi+fted, his head which had been facing that Dog deity statue and fire, turned over slightly but only his thinning head of grey hair could be seen

“Who is it? I have not leave this altar for nearly a hundred years, ould there be Central Plains people here to find me?”

Tu MaGu said, “Yes, I felt very puzzled too so careat shaman, should we let them come up?”

The great shaman contemplated for a while, said, “Did they say what are they here for?”

Tu MaGu replied, “Yes, a reat shaman to help him treat a friend’s illness”

The great sha deity and do not have the time to bother with these people, reject them for me”

Tu MaGu was stunned for a o and convey your wishes” Speaking, he turned around and headed out

He had only taken a few steps when suddenly he heard the great shaman’s voice behind him said, “Wait”

Tu MaGu turned around and asked, “What is it, is there any other reat shaman?”

The great shaed voice wafted slowly over, “The illness that they are seeking me to treat, what is it?”

Tu MaGu said, “From what they said, it was a rather unusual sickness, seeone…”

The great shaure in front of the fire suddenly shook

Tu MaGu continued to say, “That man said, a master once advised him, that for this kind of condition, only Soul Return spell could cure it Not sure froreat shareat shaman to treat”

Tu MaGu slowly finished his words but the great sha, not sure as he thinking in his heart

The fire leaped and shrank ceaselessly, engulfing the wood in the fire, Tu MaGu waited for a long tireat shaman still did not speak, he then hesitantly said, “Great shao and reject them, ask them to leave immediately?”

The great sha a word

Ma TuGu slowly turned around and headed out but just when he was about to leave the stone chaain was heard

This tireat shaman who had always beenand cohts, slowly spoke

“Youbring them up!”

Ghost Li could not help but tightened his fists and then slowly released them, he realized with a start, his palms were sweaty because of his anxiety

How long was it, since he had felt this agitated and yearning? As his anxiety increased, Ghost Li kept staring at that altar halfway in the mountain But that elderly, had left for quite some time and still had not returned

Unless, that great shaman in the altar, refused to treat outsiders?

Or, don’t tell him he had committed another taboo?

Ghost Li could not help his thoughts, even his heart also started to beat faster

Xiao Bai by his side, watched his face, watched this man who could not hide his anxiety, that concealed deep love, seemed to etch onto his face

She sighed lightly and turned her head over

The surrounding Miao onlookers, were not asti the altar and also did not leave any instructions on how to handle these two outsiders, a part of the crowd had dispersed

But because Xiao Bai was too beautiful, attractedMiaoat her, they chatted and laughed loudly,about her beauty
