In the early years, he worked as an accompanying escort for a caravan from the Western Regions, and learned some languages ​​of the Western Regions, which he now just uses to make up for it.Anyway, the Qiang people are of various races, who knows if there is such a Western species of Qiang.

"Brother, stop talking nonsense. I have stayed in Beidi County for so many years, and I have never heard your Qiang dialect." The Qiang man shook his head in denial, but the smile on his face did not fade. He looked around quietly, Lowering his voice again, he said mysteriously: "I know what you are here for, don't be afraid, I am too."

The [-]rd chapter of the cheating ceremony

Just now, the two of them chattered a lot about their relationship. They were all chatting with each other. They didn't know what the other party was talking about. They communicated all by their eyes and consciousness, and they talked very energetically and happily.

"Do you know what I'm here for?" Chen Wei asked back, Lu Bu had only told him a little about this plan, how could the man in front of him know.

"Of course, I can tell why you're here at a glance." The man replied firmly, patted his chest in a very magnanimous manner, and said very righteously: "It's troublesome if you don't speak Qiang language, but well, you You two were lucky, you met me. Just follow me later, pretend to be dumb, and don't speak when someone asks you."

Friend or foe?

Chen Wei weighed it in his heart, listening to his tone of voice, a bit like the meaning of a fellow.

But for such a big matter about changing the plan, he, a personal guard, definitely can't take this idea, he has to ask Lu Bu.

During the break, Chen Wei retreated to Lv Bu and discussed with him.

"He knows my plan?" Lu Bu frowned when he heard this, and asked again: "Do you know the details?"

Chen Wei looked back at the man lying on the grass basking in the sun, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "He is a very mysterious guy, he seems to know our plan well. Otherwise, I'll go later Try it out?"

"No need."

Lu Bu waved his hand lightly, dispelling Chen Wei's thought.He didn't know how this man who appeared out of nowhere knew his plan. If he was really an expert, he had to be more careful.

Going forward to test rashly is likely to cause dissatisfaction and suspicion.

Maybe it's someone from the road, but I can't tell.

"Take a step, take a look."

As Lu Bu said, it would definitely be too late to learn the Qiang language temporarily, and it would be good to have a Han Chinese who understands the Qiang language lead the way.As for the details of this man, he will naturally find out in the evening, and there is no rush at this moment.

Then Lu Bu told Chen Wei that if he wanted to ask about the identities of the two, he would say that Chen Wei was a son of a small family who came from other places to join in the fun, and he was the guard in charge of protecting them along the way.

In the afternoon, at the first moment of Shen Shi.

Two days of walking will finally arrive at this moment.

Zuo Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, looking down from above, the whole valley looks like an open cup.The vacant side is the north, the endless plains and grasslands, and only at the extreme far end can we vaguely see some hazy hills hidden between the clouds and mist.

There is an open space at the foot of the mountain, where flocks of cattle and sheep are raised, and they will also become delicacies tonight.

Before entering the valley, I heard the voices of people inside from a distance, very lively.

No wonder this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is the most important festival for the Qiang people besides the Qiang calendar year.

The valley is surrounded by fences, and there are only five entrances and exits, each of which is guarded by thousands of Qiang soldiers.After all, it was a big event involving tens of thousands of people, and it would not be possible without troops to control the venue. In case some provocative guys got in, they could deal with it in time.

When they arrived at the entrance, the soldiers on guard stopped the three of them as usual and asked them in Qiang language what they wanted to do.

Lu Bu didn't know how to answer, so he and Chen Wei stood behind the man who called himself 'He Chang'.He Chang babbled a lot and responded calmly.

From time to time, he would point to Lu Bu and the two of them, which made Lu Bu feel a little uncertain and planned for the worst.If this guy turns around and sells him, it's not impossible to inform the Qiang people to secure his identity.

Fortunately, none of this happened.

After entering the arena, Lu Bu and Chen Wei found a place to sit down, while He Chang established a good relationship with other Qiang people around.

It's still early, there are at least two hours before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven will begin, so you can take a rest first.

Lu Bu wanted to find out where the leaders of the Qiang people were, but at a glance, there were people walking and chatting on the field, and his vision was limited, so he had no choice but to give up for now.

The sun is slightly hot, pouring down, making people sleepy unconsciously.

When Lu Bu woke up, the sun had already set in the western mountains.

"Why did I fall asleep?" Muttering, Lu Bu got up and shook his head slightly.

"General, you are awake."

When Lu Bu was asleep, Chen Wei didn't dare to disturb him. Seeing Lu Bu sitting up now, he leaned over without showing any signs, and said in a low voice, "The Qiang people are almost here, and the leaders are here too. The ceremony will begin soon."

"Where are those Qiang leaders?"

When Lu Bu asked, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was irrelevant, and the purpose of this trip was to find the leader of the Qiang people who could take charge.

Chen Wei pointed in a certain direction, and Lu Bu looked sideways, and as far as he could see, a newly built platform was built.There is a large tent unique to the Qiang people on it, and there are guards standing around it. Due to the distance, only some figures can be vaguely seen shaking.

Thinking about it, those people were the leaders of the Eastern Qiang.

Lu Bu was about to go over, but before he could take a step, he suddenly heard a loud horn blowing.Afterwards, tens of thousands of Qiang people in the field knelt down together, kowtowed and babbled in a language he did not understand, just like the monk he heard in Luoyang Baima Temple Chanting.

How could it be seen that Lu Bu and Chen Wei were still standing there stupidly, feeling anxious in their hearts, if people found out, all three of them would suffer.He immediately moved over on his stomach, stretched out his hand and tugged at the trousers of the two, signaling them to kneel down quickly.

Lu Bu had no choice but to kneel down and knock his head on the ground, talking nonsense in a low voice, mixing in the crowd to make up for it.

The sacrifice ceremony has begun.

The elders of the Qiang people walked up to the top of the mountain, and some of the accompanying followers carried the freshly slaughtered sheep heads, some picked up some live chickens, ducks, and some were carrying fine wine, fruit and food. followed behind the elder.

At the place of worship, the sheep's head is placed in the middle, and then the chickens and ducks are bled, other sacrificial items are arranged from left to right, and the wine is placed at the end.

After placing them, the elder also knelt down and read a dry and boring speech to heaven with the loudest voice.The general meaning is to seek the blessings of the ancestors and bestow blessings so that the Qiang people can live in peace for generations.

When the elder opened his mouth, all the Qiang people kneeling below stopped chanting and listened quietly.

After reading the sacrificial words for a long time, Lu Bu's head was as big as a bucket, and he didn't know what to understand.

After finally finishing the reading, the Qiang people around still had no intention of getting up.

This is very strange!

Lu Bu was puzzled, and asked He Chang next to him, "How long do we have to kneel?"

"Kneel until the moon comes out." He Chang responded in a low voice.

"What if the moon doesn't come out tonight?"

"Then kneel until tomorrow night."

Hearing this cheating answer, Lu Bu's heart collapsed.
