"I'm quite curious about your culture. Do you have your own beliefs?"

I originally planned this dinner because I was not interested in drinking. Faced with Zuo Yong’s lies, I didn’t want to talk to him anymore and quickly introduced the conversation to Moya.

"Well, our god is the tiger on the Canglan Snow Mountain - the Nine-Colored Deer." Moya looked at He Nanyuan and introduced us to the clothes of Shilu, "What we wear for formal occasions is what we wore at the beginning of the first year of high school. That kind is black. He Nanyuan and Zuo Yong are wearing our regular clothes now, but no matter what kind of clothes, there will generally be stripes of nine colors on the collar and cuffs, which represent good luck and peace."

Then she told the story of Jiuselu and their ancestors.

It is said that thousands of years ago, the ancestors of Shilu suffered from wars and fled to Shannan with their entire family. As a result, we encountered heavy fog and got lost in the mountains. A group of people couldn't find a way down the mountain. They were about to run out of food and water. When they were desperate, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

Everyone was shocked, and just as they were about to raise their weapons to greet him, the giant thing came closer and closer, and it revealed its shape. It turned out to be a huge mountain deer with horns as white as snow and dressed in nine colors.

Ancestor Tierlu knew that this deer must be extraordinary, so he immediately ordered the tribesmen to put down their weapons, while he prostrated respectfully on the ground and begged the sacred deer for help.

The sacred deer looked at him gently, turned around slowly and walked away, then looked back at him after walking a few steps, as if asking him to follow. The ancestor immediately led his tribe to catch up. After walking for about two hours, they passed through the thick fog and arrived at an open flat land. The land there is fertile, there is water, there are fruit trees, and there are no wild animals. At this point, the Laolu people settled down there and lived and worked in peace and contentment.

In order to prevent future generations from forgetting the kindness of Jiuselu, they built a temple and worshiped it from generation to generation. Jiuselu also appreciated the sincerity of Cailu and recognized these believers. He chooses one person among his people as his listener, and gives him the responsibility of delivering oracles and the ability to eliminate disasters and grant blessings. This person is the "yangguan".

Yanguan lives in the temple and serves the tiger all his life. He is the most respected person in Tierulu.

"Can Yan Guan marry a wife?" Guo Jiaxuan may have not eaten enough last night, but today everyone has eaten enough. He added another bowl of rice, and seemed to have completely given up on losing weight.

"The official cannot marry and have children. He is God's wife, husband and servant, and he will dedicate his life to the tiger. He does not belong to us, but only to God." Suoji said.

Isn’t that just a monk?

"You may not know that He Nanyuan's uncle is our current Yan Guan. The city leaders even went to Cuoyan Song to meet him. It was he who decided that we should study here." Speaking of Yan Guan, Zuo Yong's harsh words All the harshness was put away at once, and the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with respect and yearning.

Compared with him, He Nanyuan is much calmer, and even... I think he is a bit repelled by this topic.

"So awesome." I stared at He Nanyuan opposite, who seemed to have nothing to do with him, and asked, "How did Yan Guan pass on? Blood relationship? Classmate He will not become Yan Guan in the future, right?"
