"What are you looking at?" Gong Xiqiu saw her thinking, "If you don't understand anything, I can tell you now."
The genealogy is the inheritance of the entire Gongxi clan.
It will be handed over to Gong Xi Lai in the future.
When Gongxi came, he asked, "Why is there Jimo family?"
As a matrilineal clan, both men and women will naturally follow the Gongxi clan, but there is also the Jimo clan on the family tree, which means that different surnames can also be included in the family tree. It is strange that there is no third surname. Could it be that the Gongxi clan has always been married to the Jimo clan?
"Jimo clan? Oh, you mean the high priest."
"High Priest?"
Gong Xiqiu said: "Our clan believes in gods. Every year on the birthdays of gods and other important festivals, we hold family gatherings, usually presided over by the high priest. Each generation will elect a successor to the high priest to inherit 'Jimo'. "
He continued: "I heard that the high priest is the only person who can communicate with the gods, but some gods are nagging..."
This role has a special status among the Gongxi tribe, listening to oracles and delivering them on their behalf. The clan chief and the high priest usually make decisions on matters within the clan. If the two have conflicting opinions, the respected elders of the clan will vote to ensure the operation.
The Gongxi people love singing and dancing.
Because the high priest said that the gods like singing, dancing and singing the most.
Speaking of this——
Gongxi Qiu also told his sworn sister: "When you have children in the future, remember to go to the central altar of the tribe and give it a try. Every high priest is selected by the gods. Alas, the Gongxi tribe suffered genocide, which may have something to do with the high priest. Bar……"
In this regard, he is still very superstitious.
"Is the high priest a traitor?"
Gong Xiqiu shook his head: "That's not the case."
The high priest will become a traitor, and the whole clan will be in trouble.
only--
"... My generation of high priests was exterminated before a candidate for the high priest appeared. The previous generation, the one next to my mother, was said to have died of illness. The previous generation, it seemed, when he went out to do business, his name was suddenly crossed out in the genealogy. Lose……"
"Most of the clan members believe that he died unexpectedly."
"But there are also voices saying he has given up his faith."
The high priest must be the most pious person in the clan.
Once you abandon your faith, your name will naturally be crossed out.
However, this example has not been seen in the two hundred years of Gongxi people's hidden history, and this speculation is untenable.
"The high priest is very important to our clan. A long time ago, there was a disaster caused by a clan member going out. You may have heard of the Wu Gu disaster, which was caused by the traitor clan member... That time it was also caused by Only with the warning of the oracle did we escape the disaster. As for our generation, we are not so lucky..."
Because the candidate for the new high priest has not been selected, and the adult has experienced accidents one after another, the previous high priest who has already retired has no choice but to give up his retirement career and preside over important occasions such as the birthday of the gods. But, after all, I am getting older, and some things are beyond my ability.
Gong Xiqiu had dreamed of replacing him since he was very young.
Because the dancing posture of the high priest with white beard and hair is really ugly.
If he goes, then he will definitely be the most handsome boy in the whole clan, the new favorite of the gods!
Gong Xilai's attention was not elsewhere.
She asked: "Isn't this my brother's biological father?"
Actually replaced it with "the one next to my mother".
Gong Xiqiu explained: "Well... In order to avoid problems with newborns caused by people being too closely related, some adult women in our tribe can choose to marry within the tribe, or they can choose to leave the tribe and go outside to look for men they like. "
"Bring it back?" Gong Xi came and asked.
"No, bring the child back after you give birth. Just men from foreign races. Most of them have evil intentions."
Gong Xilai: "..."
She seems to know why there are so many tribesmen who don't have their spouse's name next to them. This is how co-authors work.
Gong Xiqiu said: "My brother should be the child of the former high priest and my mother. But something happened to him, so my mother, with the encouragement of my uncle, went out to look for a candidate and got me. My mother's husband may not be me. biological father."
Half-mother and half-father are quite common in the clan.
Gong Xilai: "..."
"Well, if any high priest is here, maybe our clan can reduce casualties even if it cannot avoid annihilation." Gong Xiqiu's eyes showed a bit of sadness, "The clan was attacked by a powerful enemy. The old priest is getting old. The means used by the clan to defend themselves against the enemy were not able to be used to their full potential, so the clan members were unable to escape in time, and there were traitors, so the entire clan lost their lives..."
Gong Xilai could only comfort him: "Everything is over."
"Yeah, it's all over..."
Gong Xiqiu is not a person who likes to dwell on the past. He has to look forward and wait for his enemies to kill him before talking about anything else.
This--
It's almost done.
Gong Xiqiu hoped that Gong Xilai would have more children, one of whom would be appointed by the gods as the heir to the high priest, and the safety of the clan would be enough to protect itself. It's just that this depends too much on luck. It not only tests the character of the chosen person, but also the taste of the gods.
Even the Gongxi clan...
I couldn't wait for a new generation of high priests for decades.
"It's getting late. Alai, go to bed first. Pack your bags tomorrow and I'll send my confidants to take you to the clan."
