Blessings of Time Traveling

It was not until the fourth day that Qi Mingcheng finally waited for Zhao Chengyi.

Behind Zhao Chengyi was a man wrapped in a black robe. The two of them came back together.Qi Mingcheng couldn't tell the man's gender and appearance at first glance, but he could tell that this was an old man, or a very old one.

Zhao Chengyi's gaze was calm, and Qi Mingcheng knew that this person needed to be treated well, so a decent smile appeared on his face immediately, and he went up to greet him and said in Nanlu's official language, "Do you have any plans for the future? Do you order food and drink? Or do you want tea?"

Zhao Chengyi replied in Jingchao's official dialect: "Let them make tea, and you can talk with us, this matter is a bit complicated." Since Zhao Chengyi had a plan to come to Nanlu, he took the time to learn some Nanlu's words, I am currently at the stage where I can understand but can't speak.

Qi Mingcheng then grabbed someone casually and told him to make tea, then led Zhao Chengyi and the man in black to the place where they were discussing.

While waiting for the tea to be served, the three of them didn't say a word.The black-robed man was tightly wrapped and his head was lowered, as if his sight was blocked by the thick black.Zhao Chengyi and Qi Mingcheng were making eye contact.Qi Mingcheng can roughly know that the matter of the Wu Clan is not too difficult, because Zhao Chengyi's mood is actually a little relaxed at this time.However, there seems to be a kind of complexity in this ease.

The tea was finally served.The person in charge of carrying the water was a soldier. He lost one hand on the battlefield, and now he is holding the tray with the other hand, and he still walks steadily.From the time he walked in to the time he put down the tray and walked out, the man in black seemed to be looking up at him.

The door of the meeting hall was closed.There were only three people left in the house.

The man in black took off half of his robe, exposing his upper body, while his lower body was still wrapped in the robe.

This is indeed an old man who is already quite frail. He must be 60 years old anyway. 60 years old, this is the age of just retiring in later generations, but in this era it is indeed a twilight old man.Moreover, he looks a little too old. If Qi Mingcheng's eyes were not so sharp, maybe he would be regarded as an old man who is about to reach the age of 80 or [-].However, his hands looked very white and tender.

Qi Mingcheng guessed it was because he often had to deal with medicinal materials.

"Hello." The old man spoke Nanlan Mandarin in a strange tone.He spoke every word very slowly.

Qi Mingcheng hurriedly sent back a greeting, and said, "I'm young and ignorant, so please forgive me if there's anything wrong with my hospitality."

Zhao Chengyi made an introduction for the two of them.The old man's name is Shi, and he is currently the oldest person among the Youwu tribe.He looks normal, but in fact he is not normal. In fact, his tailbone protrudes, and it looks like he has a small tail.However, as long as you wear good clothes and pants, problems like him are not easy to be discovered.Therefore, when he was young, he was also responsible for purchasing for the tribe, so he could speak some official language.

However, the result of the long-term isolation is that even if Shi can speak Mandarin, he is not good at communicating with other people.Under normal circumstances, when people from the Wu clan appeared, the rest of the people would not take the initiative to communicate with them out of fear, so their bad words were interpreted as a kind of contempt for others.But in fact, as an old man who is said to have seen the market, Shi is now more nervous than Qi Mingcheng!

Zhao Chengyi whispered what he learned, for example, there are many deformed children in the Wu clan.

The first thought that popped into Qi Mingcheng's mind was that this must be the result of inbreeding!There are witches who are really too closed. They marry within the clan all the year round, and the number of people in the clan is getting smaller and smaller, so the blood relationship between the husband and wife is getting closer and closer. Maybe in the end, there will be a situation like the pharaoh of ancient Egypt, brother Married his half-sister.After such a few generations, the newborn will definitely have very large defects.

However, Qi Mingcheng thought about it again. Children born from close relatives have a much higher incidence of various genetic diseases, and some of them will have serious intellectual defects, but they have never heard of such a high rate of disability. rate!He thought of the news he had heard and seen before crossing, and felt that it was more like the result of radiation exposure to a pregnant woman during pregnancy, or it might be a problem with the local water source.

If there is a problem with the water source of the Snake Mountain, then there should be a problem with the medicine made by the Wu tribe.The local water is inevitably used in the process of making medicines, and the medicinal materials of Snake Mountain grow in this water environment.However, it has always been a good thing to have medicines from the Wu people. They exchange medicines for supplies. Over the years, they have never heard that the medicines they brought out caused problems for newborns.

That should be radiation.Marriage of close relatives adds some kind of radiation, and these two situations superimposed on each other.

However, Qi Mingcheng is still not quite sure about this.After all, he had never visited the local area.

But Zhao Chengyi knows Qi Mingcheng a lot. Seeing the expression on Qi Mingcheng's face, he knew that Qi Mingcheng must have something in his heart, so he asked directly: "Mingcheng, do you know the reason? If you know the reason, then you Can you help them?"

Qi Mingcheng hesitated for a moment, and asked: "The reason why you don't want to communicate with outsiders is because you look..." The matter of the life sacrifice among the witches has always been a thorn in Qi Mingcheng's heart, and he really wants to get the prescription for the medicine , but this perverted group should be extinct as soon as possible.

In front of Zhao Chengyi, Qi Mingcheng was not afraid that Shi would do something hurtful, so he asked directly.

Shi shook his head and slowly told their story.Women in the witch clan were not able to give birth to so many "god-like" from the beginning.Yes, they call the deformed children of their own kind "god-like".Think about the worship of the three gods by the dangm people. At this time, many "gods" have strange shapes, and deformed children are regarded as "like gods", which seems not incomprehensible.Before Qi Mingcheng crossed over, he saw a piece of news that a conjoined twin was born in a village in India, and the result was praised by the locals as a miracle.

Regarding this, Qi Mingcheng didn't know what to say.

In the beginning, there were a little more normal people among the Witch Clan.However, I don't know when it started, but there are more and more gods.The god-like gods have a high status in the Youwu tribe. They can eat exquisite food, and everyone will worship them.Because there are witches who firmly believe that gods are the lucky ones chosen by the gods.Doesn't that sound pretty good?Deformed children are not discriminated against, but can live better.

However, the gods are nothing more than a group of raised sacrifices.

Since they are chosen by the gods, they are the gods' favorite creations. Dedicate the gods' favorite creations to the gods, and the gods can feel their piety.The phenomenon of life sacrifices has always existed in the history of Wu people. When there are more and more gods, the objects of sacrifice are fixed as gods.Life sacrifice is a very cruel thing, and the person being sacrificed must suffer all kinds of torture and pain before he can die.

There are fewer and fewer women in the clan who are suitable for childbearing, and there are fewer and fewer clan members, so the number of life sacrifices is increasing.

At first, the normal people in the clan accounted for the majority, so no one thought it was wrong to use god-like sacrifices as sacrifices.It's just that slowly, there are more and more gods in the clan.Even if the gods were brainwashed to grow up, but after they actually saw the scene of the life sacrifice, some gods would start to question it.Their fear of death trumped their respect for their faith.They just want to survive!

Not long ago, two more people died in the family, one was an old man, one was a child, one was old and the other was sick.There are only 27 people left in the Wu family.Six of them are normal-looking. They hold the authority in the clan. In order to improve the situation of the dwindling clan, they want to have another life sacrifice.As a result, the Siamese twin named Morning and Night led other gods to kill the normal people.

Sooner or later is not the name of the conjoined twins. Although they are connected together, they are actually two people, called Ah Zao and Ah Wan respectively.

Qi Mingcheng knew it well.If the truth of the matter is indeed as Shi said, then there are only a group of poor people left in the Wu clan.

"The reason why gods appear is not a miracle, but a disease." Qi Mingcheng worked hard to translate the modern vocabulary into words that people can understand at this time, "Some things cannot be touched. If pregnant people meet too much, it will have a bad influence on the child in their womb, so the child will start to get sick before it is born. When did you start appearing like gods?"

Shi tried hard to recall.He is already sixty!He knew a lot about the affairs of the clan, even if some things happened before he was born, but people at this time were used to passing down the history of the clan and family by word of mouth, so Shi also had a lot of past events in his stomach.

Suddenly, a terrifying light burst out from Shi's eyes.

As if he had thought of something unacceptable, his lips trembled and he said tremblingly, "Yes...it's God...it's God's gift!"

Qi Mingcheng didn't understand, why did he talk about "God's gift" again?Could it be that the science popularization he just did was for nothing?But when he patiently listened to Shi Dian's nonsense, he slowly pieced together the truth.It turned out that a member of the witch family had once picked up a fragment of a meteorite.They saw the meteorite falling from the sky with their own eyes, and after the meteorite cooled down, they brought the meteorite back to their own territory.They called this meteorite a "gift from God".But in fact, where is this gift?This is the beginning of disaster.

This "gift" was placed in the patriarch's house, and the first god-like was indeed born by the patriarch's daughter-in-law, which was also a conjoined twin.
