Chapter 138 The Inheritance of the Holy Maiden

Chapter 138 The Inheritance of the Holy Maiden

In the valley where the Fu people live, there is the largest mountain in the east, called Linggui Mountain, and there is a river called Fushui River at the foot of the mountain, which is the place where Qingu was revived yesterday.

The Spirit Turtle Temple is on the hillside of the Linggui Mountain.

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, a huge flood occurred here, and there was a vast ocean.

A huge tortoise brought a group of people here, and when the flood receded, the group settled here.

They saw strange runes engraved on the turtle's back, so they called themselves the Rune Clan.

Later, the tortoise himself transformed into the tallest mountain, which is now Linggui Mountain, to block the flood on the other side of the mountain.

The flat land of the valley turned into fertile fields, but according to the instructions of the spirit turtle, they still built their houses on the hills, making them look like houses on stilts.

When the tortoise passed away in the last incarnation, a girl in the clan received some instructions to build a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain and wait day and night.

The people in the clan built houses there for them to live in...

Later, it became a custom.

The thatched hut gradually evolved into a temple, where the whole clan would come to offer sacrifices to the harvest and year-ends every year.

And if someone in the village is injured or sick, they will also come to the Spirit Turtle Temple to ask the saint to heal them.

If something happens to the clan, or if there is any celestial phenomenon, the saint will carry out divination to seek good luck and avoid bad luck...

Therefore, the Spirit Turtle Temple, the Holy Maiden, is not only the spiritual sustenance of the whole clan, but also has a pivotal significance in helping the people here.

…………

The temple is built on the hillside of Linggui Mountain, with a stone step winding up.

Surrounded by towering ancient trees and shaded by the sun, you will feel quiet and open-minded as soon as you enter.

The temple is divided into the main hall outside and the inner courtyard behind.

The main hall is divided into the main hall and the left and right side halls, which are used for every grand festival gathering of the clan.

In front of the main hall is a square paved with bluestone slabs. Above ten steps is the main hall. Inside is a huge stone-carved tortoise enshrined, with countless fleeing people on the back of the tortoise...Let the people of the Fu clan never forget How did I get here.

The inner courtyard is the place where the saintess usually lives, as well as a few pieces of land... After all, the saintess also needs to work.

Qingu's eyes lit up when he saw the saint.

According to people's descriptions, the saint is at least ninety years old... In this time and space, sixty or seventy is considered an advanced age, and ninety is definitely the oldest among the elderly.

But what Qinu saw was that although the skin of the saint was covered with wrinkles, her eyes were bright and energetic, with open-mindedness and love.

He is hale and hearty, and he moves very quickly, not at all like an old man in his nineties.

The old man looked at Qingu with a knowing smile in the corner of his eyes.

It was as if everything was as she expected.

The patriarch saluted respectfully and explained the situation.

Qingu stepped forward to salute, "It was Yingying who was ignorant before, so I ask the saint to forgive me."

The old man smiled hehe: "Since you're back, it's good, it's good to be back. Well, you all go, I still have some things to explain to Luo Ying... Sigh, I should go too..."

The patriarch and his two grandchildren watched the old saint leave, their throats choked.

They understood what the other party meant... because every generation of saintess is passed on to the next saintess, and then they will go west, and then enter the undercurrent in Linggui Mountain by themselves, returning to nature.

Although the old saint lived longer than anyone in the clan, but... she made more contributions to the clan.

Now she is still reluctant to leave her... It's just that this is everyone's fate.

And the old saint also said that there are still very important things to explain to Luo Ying, and they will only delay their precious time here.

So he respectfully bid farewell and left.

Qingu followed the old man into the main hall.

The old man said to Qingu: "Since you have decided to take over the responsibility of the saint, then kneel in front of the spirit turtle statue and make a wish."

Qingu followed his words, knelt down, closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and prayed sincerely.

In the dark, Qingu felt an indescribable aura permeating the hall.

When she regained her senses and opened her eyes again, she found that everything around her was still the same as when she came in.

But her mood became more and more calm.

Qingu looked up at the old man next to him, and the old man just happened to be looking at her with a smile.

The old man suddenly said: "It really is a good fortune. I never thought that the catastrophe of our family for hundreds of years would be resolved by you. It is God's will, it is God's will."

After the old man finished talking nonsense, he said to Qingu: "Okay, now you are the new saint, follow me, I still have some things to tell you."

Qingu let out an oh, stood up, and obediently followed behind the old man.

Unknowingly, Qingu found that this time she became more... well-behaved than in all previous entrusted tasks.

It's not pretending to cater to the client's image on the surface, but it's true, from the heart, I have more respect for the elderly.

Except because the other party is indeed older than her... He is in his nineties and she is only in her eighties.

It is also because the old man has a firm and persistent belief throughout his life, benefiting one party, and is a person of great fortune.

Such piety and dedication is really admirable.

Qingu followed the old man to familiarize himself with the inside and outside of the Spirit Turtle Temple, and then stopped in a practice room.

There are two futons in the room, the old man sat on one of them, and asked Qingu to sit on the other futon.

The old man said: "Now I want to tell you two things: the first is this tortoise shell, which is the spiritual bond between the spirit turtle and our talisman family, through which we can see the future of our talisman family, and thus tend Good luck and avoid bad luck. As for how to use it, you will naturally know when the time comes."

Qin Gu subconsciously took a palm-sized light golden tortoise shell covered with intricate lines.

It was probably kept by the saints in the past, so the tortoise shell was rubbed so that it was shiny and smooth.

She is very ignorant of all this now, no matter what, let's continue first, and then slowly explore.

The old man was obviously holding on to his last strength to explain his funeral.

The old man continued: "The second thing is, the origin of the spirit turtle..."

Qingu had heard about it from her grandma and the patriarch before... In fact, they said it over and over again, mainly to persuade her to fulfill her responsibilities as a saint.

Qingu also learned some information from it.

However, looking at the old man's appearance now, it seems that the origin of the spirit turtle still has some secrets.

So I listened attentively.

The old man paused slightly, his eyes slightly looking at the roof, as if he was reminiscing.

In fact, this legend was passed down orally by the saintesses of the past generations. When the saintesses of the previous generation were about to pass away, they would personally tell the story to the next saintess.

Although it sounds like a fairy tale in Qingu, it is indeed the biggest secret of the saints of the Rune Race.
