Chapter 185 Dongba Priest

When Xiaoqiong saw this person, her heart was torn and she was in pain. She looked familiar with the person she saw. He was her lover - Erhei. Xiaoqiong rushed over and shouted in a hurry and panic: "Erhei, Erhei, Erhei, you - don't scare me, you - what's wrong?"

Erhei did not react at all. It seemed that she didn't hear it. Xiaoqiong's cold sweat came down and foresaw an ominous signal. She couldn't imagine that all this happened just now. How did Erhei change like this? She didn't know how to face her lover, and she didn't know. What should I do with him? He can't do anything except keep shouting Erhei's name in a panic.

At this time, the Dongba priest with a painted face and long hair also noticed it. He came over and said in a vague hoarse voice like reading the Dongba Sutra, "Xu Sun, Nabalala?"

Although Xiaoqiong couldn't understand what he was saying, she was shocked. She grabbed him and pushed him twice. The priest of Dongba, who painted his face, was like a tree, and did not even shake his clothes. Xiaoqiong panicked even more and shouted incoherently, "It's you, it's you, it's you. Let him be like this, you - evil spirit, this big witch - bad guy, you accompany me, you accompany me!"

The priest Dongba, who painted his face, seemed to understand. He was shocked and stepped back a few steps and said in hoarse Chinese, "You, you, you, made a mistake, I didn't!"

Xiaoqiong stared at him and shouted an angry, "How can this be? I clearly saw you sprinkle rice on his head, and he became like this. You are not a pest. What is it? What do you say, you say!"

The Dongba priest looked at Erhei in astonishment, and the expression on his face suddenly changed. Xiaoqiong couldn't care about it. She was about to pull the Dongba priest like a shrew. Two thin and thin Dongba people with their faces blocked the way and stared at him with strange and angry eyes. Xiaoqiong couldn't understand the inside of his eyes. Rong, Xiaoqiong stopped angrily and looked around. She saw that there were already people surrounding them with different expressions. They watched the lively tourists, angry locals, and artists who took the opportunity to stand out. One of the believers shouted angrily in Chinese: "You - Hanren, how dare you insult our locals? He is a respected high priest. He is inviolable. Aren't you afraid of God's punishment?"

"That's right, but is this woman a ghost or a fairy? How dare she scold our high priest unscrupulously!"

There is a Han man who said, "I think this woman is a little old-looking. It's not simple--!"

"Nonsense, I think she is a Han Chinese, really real, or a weak woman!"

"Yes, I think so, it's just a high priest who insults us with beauty---!"

Dongba believers said, "The Han people are amazing. You forget that this is on our own land---!"

At this time, Xiaoqiong felt that there were many suspicious eyes staring at her, as if they were going to penetrate her. Her mind was at a loss. It seemed that she was completely short-circuited and could not think. She just stood stupidly and looked at the stupid Erhei. The high priest also noticed it and turned around Erhei twice and rushed to the face. The Dongba people whispered and said a few words. The two face-faced Dongba people came forward and began to lift Erhei. Xiaoqiong instinctively went forward, grabbed Erhei desperately, and hissed, "Don't touch him, don't touch him, he is mine, he is mine!"

The high priest motioned the two Dongba people to stop and took two steps towards Xiaoqiong. Xiaoqiong looked at him warily for fear that he would make some unexpected actions that were unfavorable to him and Erhei. He held the handrail, as if he were making a polite greeting. He said in Chinese, "Han woman, who is he?"

Xiaoqiong gritted her teeth and said in a firm tone, "He is my love. Whoever dares to hurt him, I will fight desperately!"

The expression in the high priest's eyes slowed down and slowly said in clear Chinese, "I understand your mood, but now he has a rare -- strange disease that needs treatment!"

Hearing this, Xiaoqiong was stunned and didn't know where to start. However, Xiaoqiong could faintly detect from his eyes that he had no malice and asked in panic, "Are you saying that you have a strange disease?"

The high priest nodded solemnly, and Xiaoqiong asked suddenly, "What's wrong with him?"

The high priest took a look at the crowd that kept pouring in around him. He was a little unnatural and said in scripture-like Chinese, "It's inconvenient here. There are many people and miscellaneous eyes. Why don't we -- change to another place?"

Xiaoqiong felt that what he said was not normal to look at horizontally and vertically. She said without giving in, "No, why can't you treat it here? Aren't you called the high priest of Dongba? Isn't there anything - God possessed? Can't you solve this little thing? You are clearly in your heart. There are ghosts!"

The high priest frowned. The little Dongba next to him looked a little angry and shouted, "You Han girl, why are you so ignorant? Our chief priest obviously helped you save him. How can you frame a good man!"

Xiaoqiong was stunned for a moment and said in questioning spoken language, "Then why can't you treat it here? You have to go to a place where there is no one. This is obviously -- there, it's not reassuring!"

Xiao Dongba said bluntly, "Why are you like this? Our chief priest doesn't want to treat him here because there are many people here. Maybe the evil person is in this crowd. How can our priest treat him!"

As soon as Xiaoqiong heard it, she felt that there was such a possibility, and she was so anxious that she couldn't speak. She sweated on her forehead, which was very embarrassed. On the one hand, she was afraid that Erhei was really like this little Dongba said. Someone hid in the crowd to do bad things. It's troublesome. If they let them carry Erhei away, they were afraid that this group of people were cults or It's a bad guy. He didn't take the initiative to send him to the door. The high priest seemed to see Xiaoqiong's worries and said slowly, "Why don't you find a safe place, and we can carry him up and help him treat him?"

Xiaoqiong had no idea for a moment. She thought that she was just a tourist. How could she know where it was safe or unsafe? Thinking about it, another little Dongba said, "Do you want our chief priest to treat him?"

At present, Xiaoqiong thought of only her temporary residence - Naxi's mother inn. She felt that it was relatively safer here. The boss's wife and the boss seemed to have been Chineseized a lot, and she and they were also easy to communicate with them, so she said about this inn. The high priest motioned the two small Dongba beside him one on one and carried the two blacks. The inn went to ----.

Xiaoqiong stared at the two little Dongba tightly and did not dare to be careless. She was afraid that they would use demon moths while they were not paying attention. Soon, the two little Dongba carried Erhei to the inn. The boss's wife was welcoming guests at the door, and the expression on her face was stunned, as if she knew them. They respectfully let them into the room and asked the clerks to come forward to say hello. Xiaoqiong quickly came forward and pulled the boss's wife to explain the situation. The boss bent down and said good words to welcome the high priest into the main house, and asked someone to carry Erhei in.

Xiaoqiong instinctively followed in. The two little Dongba looked at each other, and one of them directly regarded her as outside and said, "When our chief priest recites the scriptures to exorcise demons, no one can be next to her!"

Xiaoqiong stamped her foot and said, "How can the boss go in?"

One of the little Dongba said affirmatively, "He just sent him in, and he will come out immediately!"

Xiaoqiong was speechless and walked around the door. Soon, the boss withdrew. Seeing Xiaoqiong stretching her neck and looking at her, the boss called Xiaoqiong to go to the yard to rest. Xiaoqiong refused to leave. The boss's face changed and said bluntly, "You are a distant guest. Why are you so rude? He is The status in the hearts of us local people is the embodiment of God. How dare you be here - are you afraid of being punished every day against the divine will of the chief priest of Dongba? If you harm our small shop, don't let us do business!"

Xiaoqiong realized that if she didn't leave, she might really cause public anger. She followed the boss to the yard. Along the way, Xiaoqiong asked uneasily, "Boss, can this priest cure my man?"

The boss took a look at Xiaoqiong, as if what she said was really incredible. It was really rude. If there was another person, he would have been kicked out long ago, but I don't know why. The guest was so beautiful that people would be confused, as if they saw the fairy in the painting.

The boss had to explain it well: "The local Dongba priests are born in the way of hereditary and divine judgment. Generally, they have to learn from their teachers. Only after the death of their previous Dadongba chief priests can they be officially confirmed to learn the classics, preside over the ceremonies, and other sacrificial Dongba priests have been learning Dongba scriptures since childhood. , learn to recite scriptures, dance, etc. When he was a teenager, he went to the Dongba priest's family with high knowledge. After mastering the basic classics, he participated in sacrificial activities with the teacher, and then went out to preside over the ceremony independently. In the Naxi society, the Dongba priest mastered the traditional culture of the Naxi people, such as classics, etiquette, customs and customs, collecting poems, songs, dances and paintings. , fortune-telling and craftsmanship are integrated, multi-talented, and have a high prestige and status among the masses. The masses regard Dongba as a wise man, a gentleman and an intellectual, and are respected!"

Xiaoqiong listened and put her heart down a little.
