Aunt Wusang took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, then shook her head and said -
"Saint Aguna did not steal the Gu God on purpose, she was really forced to do so!"
As she spoke, her face was gloomy and ugly: "Originally, Saint Aguna's pregnancy was a great joy. She refused Xiao Shuai's proposal to take her back to the Central Plains from the beginning, and the two even had a conflict and argument because of it."
She paused and couldn't help but cursed angrily——
"Who would have known...Long Cry is the man who betrayed Saint Aguna back then!"
"That bastard secretly colluded with two great wizards to falsely accuse Saint Aguna of having a demon fetus and force Saint Aguna to have an abortion!"
Ming Lanruo was stunned: "Why, wasn't that Long Ting already with another woman and having a child? Why did he treat grandma like this?"
Could it be that he had a grudge against his grandmother for giving him a hundred lashes when he was a girl? He wanted revenge?
Aunt Wusang sneered: "Because of that Long Cry, he is not only a Gu master, but also comes from a wealthy family. Ten years after he and Saint Guna separated, he actually became the chief chieftain of Lingnan, but he is not satisfied with being just a local chieftain."
Big toast!”
The big chieftain is also called the native official.
They were established by successive dynasties in the northwest and southwest regions. They were official positions held by ethnic minority leaders with high power and status.
Ming Lanruo squinted her eyes: "Back then, that dragon-crying chieftain, could it be that he wanted to..."
Aunt Wusang sneered: "Long Tiao wants to control the entire Miao territory, so he wants his daughter to become a saint, so Saint Aguna is not allowed to have children!"
That daughter of his was still a bastard born from secretly hooking up with other women when he and Saint Aguna were together in the early years!
When Aunt Wusang thinks about the past, she gnashes her teeth with hatred——
"That shameless man Long Ming bribed two great wizards at the beginning and secretly changed his daughter's name and sent her to Saint Aguna to participate in the selection of the next Saint!"
That girl is indeed very talented. If Xiao Shuai had not appeared, the next saint would be the daughter of Long Tiao and his lover!
Ming Lanruo chuckled contemptuously: "For the sake of power, some men are really capable of doing things worse than animals!"
Long Tiao first betrayed his first love, his grandmother, and more than ten years later, he planned to kill his grandmother's child so that his own daughter could take over!
"Fortunately, with the blessing of the Gu God, Saint Aguna force-fed abortion pills after being imprisoned, but the child was not aborted. This was supposed to be a miracle, but it was considered to be a confirmation that Saint Aguna was pregnant with a demon fetus.
evidence of!"
Aunt Wusang was so angry that her face was livid.
Ming Lanruo frowned: "Isn't the status of Saint Baimiao very noble? Why can other great wizards force grandma to this point?"
Aunt Wusang sighed: "Because they hate Saint Aguna."
The saints in the past were only responsible for refining Gu and selecting more attendants so as to give birth to an heir. They were just a sacred symbol.
Many common affairs in Gu Miao are managed by five great wizards.
She patted Ming Lanruo's hand gently: "But your grandmother, Saint Aguna, does not plan to have any more children after Long Ming betrayed her."
"That's why she didn't want any servants. She traveled all over Baimiao in ten years and saved and helped many people."
"She has far more love and authority among the people than the five great wizards. As long as she objects to something, the great wizards will not be able to do it, which will cause resentment!"
Ming Lanruo was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Aunt Agu... Grandma, has she never thought that the great wizards would betray her?"
Aunt Wusang smiled bitterly: "Yes, Saint Aguna trusts the chieftains very much. She never thought that one day she would be imprisoned by them suddenly, force her to have an abortion, and step down as the Saint."
Although the main culprit was the great chieftain Longting and the two worst wizards among them, the remaining three wizards were just deceived.
But who knows if the three great wizards were happy to see Aguna step down as a saint, so they pretended not to know anything.
It is in everyone's interest to replace her with an obedient and honest saint, isn't it?
Ming Lanruo understood, so this was the reason why her grandmother finally decided to follow her grandfather and escape from Miao territory.
Aunt Wusang sighed sadly: "Moreover, at that time, even though she was protected by the Gu God, Saint Aguna was given strong abortion pills by Long Wei and the others. Without the Gu God in her body, the child would not have been saved!"
In addition, after running around for days, Aguna narrowly escaped death when giving birth to her child. As a result, Xiao Guanyin was born with deficiencies and was frail and sickly.
Aunt Wusang's eyes were a little sad——
"This is why Miss Guanyin cannot practice martial arts, nor can she carry the Gu God. In order to protect Saint Aguna, Xiao Shuai recorded Miss Guanyin in the name of his second wife."
However, the Xiao family's yang was strong and yin was weak, and the eldest and second eldest families gave birth to a total of five legitimate children, including only one daughter, Xiao Guanyin.
Therefore, Xiao Guanyin was deeply loved by the two families, and was regarded as the apple of their eye. When she grew older, she became a daughter of the whole family, and was sought after by hundreds of families.
"In the end, Xiao Shuai married Miss Guanyin to the Ming Dynasty's Hanlin Young Master, Ming Yuanlang, who was your father, and gave birth to you."
Aunt Wusang looked at Ming Lanruo with emotion: "In this blink of an eye, more than 40 years have passed, and no one knows the truth back then!"
Ming Lanruo felt mixed emotions after hearing this.
It turns out that this is the thrilling and mysterious past of the elders. If you want to write it down in detail, it is really a legendary excerpt.
Aunt Wusang sighed sadly: "The Gu masters of Baimiao and the people of Qiangui in Lingnan still believe that Saint Aguna betrayed them and stole the sacred objects in order to elope with the Han people."
Ming Lanruo frowned. More than forty years had passed. She didn't care what the Miao people thought, but she had to save her grandmother!
More than forty years have passed, and there are still people in Miao territory who want to arrest grandma. You can guess that they are the great Gu Miao wizards who are trying to recover the Gu God.
She asked seriously: "Does Aunt Wusang know which great wizard grandma is now in the hands of?"
Aunt Wusang was silent for a moment, frowning and shaking her head: "No, based on the clues I have obtained now, Aunt Agu may have fallen into the hands of King Jingnan."
Ming Lanruo was stunned: "What... King Jingnan? How could King Jingnan want to arrest grandma? What does this have to do with him?"
Although the Holy Maiden of Bai Miao and the Five Great Wizards have a high status, they symbolize divine power and usually only perform sacrifices, practice Gu and treat the Miao people.
The chieftains in various places managed most of the Miao affairs, such as tax collection, buying and selling, farming, judging cases, etc.
The Prince of Jingnan personally gave the imperial court officials who were responsible for the border areas. They governed the three provinces in the southwest, held large armies, and nominally all the chieftains were under their control.
But unless someone rebels or refuses to pay taxes honestly, they will basically not interfere in the specific affairs of the chieftains in various places.
Not to mention taking care of the fight between the Gu Masters living deep in the mountains!
"Because after Saint Aguna left, the new saint in Miao territory was the mother of Chu Yuanbai, the current king of Xiaojingnan." Aunt Wusang said.
Ming Lanruo was stunned: "Ah???"
How is this possible? What is the identity of King Jingnan? The king with a different surname is also a prince personally named by the imperial court!
How is it possible to marry a Miao woman as a princess?
