Ah Chen laughed.
He stepped forward, but after only a few steps, the leader of the Miao tribe pointed the iron rod in his hand at him.
“Black Miao, step back. My brother Ah Xiong said that the Black Miao are the most annoying. You are not allowed to come in. Step back.”
*Pfft*
Mu Achen burst out laughing.
He glanced back at Abao and Akang.
A-Yin stepped forward, but was stopped by A-Chen just as she was about to speak.
“Go back, I’ll tease this little brat for a bit.”
Then, looking at the young Miao man five meters away, he asked, "Do you Long-Skirt Miao people hate us Black Miao so much?"
"I don't like the Black Miao people, I only like the Holy Maiden Sister."
Ah Chen smiled again!
“Little Miao, I also like the Holy Maiden Sister.”
"I'll stab you to death."
This brat actually tried to poke Mu Achen with the iron rod, but missed several times. However, he arrogantly pointed at Achen and said:
“You’re all grown up now. You’re not allowed to like the Holy Maiden Sister. She’s the Holy Maiden of our Miao people, and she’s the future wife of our Miao King. Even if you dare say you like her, I—I—”
What do you want?
"We'll stab you to death."
More than twenty young Miao men suddenly rushed forward.
Mu Achen laughed heartily, jumped onto a relatively high embankment, squatted down, and looked down at the Miao children of the Long Skirt Miao branch.
Ah Bao stepped forward and asked, "Young Miao people, do you know what the name of our future Miao king is?"
"I heard my parents mention it, but I've forgotten!"
"Then let me tell you, our future Miao king is from the Black Miao branch."
"If you ask us, we know this."
"The one you're going to stab is also a branch of the Black Miao."
“That’s different. The future Miao King used to belong to the Black Miao branch, but now he belongs to all of us.”
*Pfft*
Ah Kang, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh too!
Ah Chen on the ridge said, "Kids, your Miao clothes are quite new! Did Ah Xiong get a wife and you took out all the clothes you'll wear for the Miao New Year in advance?"
“It’s none of your business, Black Miao. Why should we wear new Miao clothes to welcome Gu Axiong’s wife? We are welcoming the future Miao king, who is coming to our Jinyang Ancient Village today.”
"Then why don't you go to the village entrance to greet them? What are you doing guarding this place?"
"None of your business."
There's no room for you at the village entrance!
"I'll stab you to death."
It seemed that Mu Achen had hit the nail on the head, and the boy picked up the iron rod and started to climb the earthen embankment.
Ah Chen glanced in the direction of Jinyang Ancient Village entrance; it was indeed spectacular.
Judging from this setup, it's clearly an overstatement to say it's for welcoming Gu Axiong's wife.
If Ah Chen is not mistaken, the people at Jinyang Ancient Village are probably waiting for him.
His coming from this side of the canyon was probably unexpected by the Miao people of Jinyang Ancient Village.
"Alright! I'm not going to waste my breath on you guys anymore. My name is Mu Achen, and I've registered. Make way."
“Hey, you’re from the Black Miao region, your name is Mu Achen. We don’t know you. You’re not allowed in.”
"Hey, you looking for a beating, huh!"
“Akago, I’ve heard that name before, I remember it.”
A Miao boy of about eight or nine years old quickly pulled the Miao child who had tried to poke Achen several times without success and whispered, "My father and mother have said more than once that the name of our future Miao king is Mu Achen, the name of the Black Miao."
“Look at him, he’s from the Black Miao, and his name is Mu Achen. Could he be the future Miao King?”
These words startled Little Aka.
Little Aka, with his chubby eyes, looked at Mu Achen, who was dressed in plain black Miao clothing with a plain silver ring around his neck and a Miao knife at his waist.
Unfortunately, he didn't recognize him.
"Are you the future Miao King of our Miao people?"
"You bunch of brats, get out of the way."
Ah Bao stepped forward.
Then, some more casual conversation ensued.
Afterwards, as soon as Achen and his group entered the ancient Miao village, the group of Miao children, led by Xiao Aka, rushed towards the front entrance of the village.
As he ran, he shouted, "Brother Chen is here! Brother is coming from over there!"
Unfortunately, the sound of the lusheng (a traditional reed pipe instrument) coming from the village entrance was quite loud, drowning out the shouts of the Miao children.
Led by Ayin, Achen and the others went straight up the ancient blue stone steps.
Half an hour later, we reached the top of the ancient stilted building in the village, which stood proudly at the highest point.
From the pavilions, one can enjoy a panoramic view of Jinyang Ancient Village.
You can also see the waterfall on the other side of the canyon.
You can see Gu Axiong's house below and the Lusheng field in front of it more clearly.
"Ah Bao, from this vantage point, don't you guys feel like you can take in all the beautiful scenery?"
Ah Bao turned around and presented a gift!
"Achen, this is the most sacred ancient building in Jinyang Ancient Village. It has been built to this day only for the Miao King, Miao Saint, Holy Maiden, and Miao Queen to stay."
"But for thousands of years, the Miao King has not reappeared, until you appeared!"
"The previous Holy Maiden came from Balong Ancient Village, but that was several hundred years ago!"
"Therefore, this building in Jinyang Ancient Village has only been inhabited by the current Holy Maiden for hundreds of years."
Akang also said, "Our Daobeizhai also has a similar ancient building, just like this one, which only the current Holy Maiden has ever visited."
“Now that you’ve arrived, Ah Chen, you’re the only one who can stay in the main building. We who are with you can only move around in this area outside.”
"Furthermore, if it weren't for you or the Holy Maiden, we wouldn't even be able to enter this place!"
"Those who violate this rule will be punished, at best, stripped of their Miao registration and expelled from the Miao family; at worst, burned alive!"
Upon hearing this, Ah Chen gave a wry smile!
Ancient buildings of this caliber hold an extremely sacred status in Miao villages.
