The sacrificial ceremony lasted for nearly half an hour before it ended.

After the end, the villagers left separately.

When Village Chief Nan saw strangers coming, he was not polite, and asked them to help bring the tools used by the priest.

It is said that these things are usually placed in the village committee.

It happened to be on the way where you live.

Immediately, he took the three of them and went straight to the village committee.

The three of Zhang Weishan felt helpless.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in the village, he was dragged to work as a coolie.

Fortunately, these things are not heavy, and the distance is not far. They arrived at the village committee in less than 10 minutes.

The village committee is a two-story building.

The first floor is for meetings.

There are two rooms on the second floor, which can be used as temporary accommodation for outsiders.

Downstairs there is also a basement.

The things of these priests are placed in the basement.

When Village Chief Nan led them to the basement.

They saw that there were many sack-like things in the basement.

Don't know what's in it.

But there are a lot of them.

It's like a bag of dirt.

"Mr. Nan, what's in these bags?"

Zhang Weishan put down his things and asked curiously.

Village Chief Nan said.

"Oh, it's all cinnabar raw materials!"

"It's coarse cinnabar, and cinnabar is abundant near our village!"

"But our mountain god doesn't like cinnabar, so we can only collect it and wait too long, and sell it at once!"

"It can also supplement the family!"

"A few years ago, there was a cinnabar factory that wanted to build a base near us, specializing in processing cinnabar!"

"But it didn't work out in the end."

"The mountain god doesn't like cinnabar?"

Zhang Weishan was taken aback, then asked.

"Then since the mountain god doesn't like cinnabar, why did the priest splash cinnabar in the last step?"

Village Chief Nan smiled.

"Taking a meaning of being sprinkled on the ground, in fact, there is no special meaning!"

"It is said that this sacrificial activity was more complicated at the beginning!"

"And use cinnabar to make all kinds of things!"

"However, as it gradually spread to our generation, there are not so many rules!"

"So this process has been simplified a lot, you just have to watch it for fun!"

"Then what, I'll go back first, you go straight to the second floor, the bedding is in the closet!"

"We'll bring you food tomorrow morning!"

The old village chief said he was going to leave!
Zhang Weishan hurriedly said.

"We brought our own. By the way, I have two bottles of good wine here. Village Chief, how about we have two glasses?"

Drinking is fake, mainly because Zhang Weishan wants to ask other things about the village.

Village head Nan happens to like drinking, which is what the old man said when he was chatting with him before.

Hearing this, I immediately became interested.

"That's daring!"

The four of them went upstairs together.

Xiao Xi and Xiao Zhang got busy, but neither of them had a meal.

So after a while, the four of them sat down and chatted while eating.

Zhang Weishan said that they came here to collect folk songs.

Want to learn about the local history.

And the first question is, why didn't they see anyone lighting a lamp in the village when they came just now?
There was electricity in this room, and they didn't know until they arrived.

Village Chief Nan said with a smile.

"How could there be no electricity in our village? It's just that everyone who is at home must come when the priest is here!"

"And you can't turn on the lights, you can only use campfires, so no one turns on the lights!"

After hearing the words, Zhang Weishan and the others realized that they were wrong.

"What else do you want to know, it's okay anyway, let's chat!"

Village Chief Nan smiled.

Seeing this, Zhang Weishan was not polite, and immediately started chatting with the old village chief.

In fact, what they want to know most is the history of this village.

Especially about the origin of the village and the fact that the villager's surname is Nan.

The surname Nan is too rare.

There must be stories in it.

The other one is about the priest, the so-called mountain god Hei Shenhua.

Village Chief Nan listened to Zhang Weishan's narration, his face was stunned, and he smiled.

"Well, let's start from the beginning!"

"Actually, our village's surname and this Black God Flower are passed down from the previous generation!"

"By the way, I'm going to get something, just wait a moment!"

After saying that, Village Chief Nan went downstairs, as if he ran to the basement.

After 2 minutes, he ran up holding a booklet.

They saw two words written on the booklet.

"Genealogy!"

The three of them were taken aback. Can the content recorded on this thing answer these questions?

Village Chief Nan seemed to have seen their intentions.

smiled.

"Don't worry, the family tree in our village not only records the names of the clan members!"

"There are still some records at the end. I think you may not reply to the letter. Why don't you check it yourself!"

As he spoke, he put the family tree on the table.

Let the three look through it by themselves.

The three of Zhang Weishan were not polite, and immediately opened the family tree.

Looking at them, they were all named Nan.

Instead of reading one by one, they turned to the last few pages.

I found that the last few pages really contained a lot of written records.

And the more they looked at these written records, the more shocked the three were.

The Village Chief Nan at the side laughed when he saw this.

"Now you understand! Our village actually has a lot of background!"

It turned out that the content recorded above really involved the origin of the village.

This is recorded above.

Nanjiawan Village was formed when people who migrated from Wulian Mountain settled down.

The first group of people were named Nan.

So the surname Nan has been passed down to this day.

According to the records, they had been living in Wulian Mountain before.

Later, for some reasons, some people migrated out.

That is, the earliest ancestors of Nanjiawan Village.

And the sacrificial activities in this village and the matter of the Black God Flower are also passed down by them.

It said that the Black God Flower is their God Flower.

It is also the most important thing.

Although they have moved out of Wulian Mountain now, they will not see the Black God Flower in the future.

But no matter what, he is also a believer of the Black God Flower, and this kind of priest will be indispensable in the future.

It also records the details of many priests.

They saw that there were also many records about cinnabar products.

The main reason is that Hei Shenhua hates cinnabar.

So they will make a lot of cinnabar products to sacrifice to Heishenhua.

It's strange to say that priests in general places don't like anything, so they try not to show up.

But the people from Nanjiawan, Hei Shenhua would do whatever he was afraid of.

It seems to reflect that the things that are afraid of are made into various sacrifices.

In order to sacrifice to the black god flower.

Village Chief Nan saw that they had seen this place, so he explained.

"It's not surprising, our rules were like this at the beginning!"

"But after getting in touch with people outside more, I found that the rules outside are to be afraid of everything and try not to do anything!"

"So the rules have changed naturally through the ages!"

"In our generation, when we were priests, the cinnabar became a bowl of water, just to symbolize it!"

"And cinnabar can also be sold for money, so everyone still prefers to sell for money!"

The three of Zhang Weishan nodded.

There is not much to be recorded later.

But one item still caught their attention.

It is written.

"If future generations want to find the ancestral land, they can go to Wulian Mountain to find it!"

"The ancestral land is only open to those who are destined!"

"If there is no fate, we will never see each other!"

Zhang Weishan couldn't help asking when he saw this.

"Has anyone in your village visited this ancestral land for so many years?"

The old village chief smiled and said.

"Why not! I've been there!"

"But I can't find it at all!"

"There are deep forests and dense grass in the mountains, not to mention the ancestral land, and I can't even find a relic!"

"Besides, there are many poisonous insects in the mountains. The poisonous miasma is the first thing to talk about. It's good if you don't throw your life into it!"

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank the ancestors for migrating out. It's really not a place for people to live in there!"

"But it seems that I heard that there were people living in it in the early years!"

"They also came out to exchange daily necessities with people in our village, but they haven't seen each other since then!"

"Anyway, I haven't seen it!"
