Chapter 2 is equipped with a good pen
Just as Hu Gao was feeling a bit self-satisfied that he had finally found someone who understood him, an untimely voice suddenly rang out.
"Hey, Ninth Elder! Don't be too quick to celebrate. In my opinion, there's more to this than meets the eye. According to our clan's secret history, if it were a true inheritance from our ancestors, we should have seen a divine light illuminating everything. But just now, all we saw was that faint green glow, and nothing else appeared. And look at Hu Gao again - his aura hasn't strengthened noticeably at all. I'm afraid he still only has an ordinary physique."
"Divine light? That's just a phrase from the book, it doesn't specifically describe what kind of light it is. I think you're overthinking this, Second Elder. We just witnessed Hu Gao's soul dispersing with our own eyes. If the ancestral worship had failed, then how do you explain who is standing in front of you right now?"
After hearing the two elderly people's quarrel, Hu Gao thought for a moment and roughly understood what was going on. In order to prevent things from developing in an unpredictable direction, he decided to take the initiative to strike boldly!
"How dare you! You lowly creatures actually dare to suspect me? Still not kneeling down!" Hu Gao took a deep breath, gathering it in his chest cavity, and finally released a loud roar through his nasal cavity and brain cavity resonance.
This is the vocal technique that Hu Gao mastered when he learned ethnic singing in his past life, with a voice like a large bell ringing out, muffled and trembling, resonating throughout the entire venue.
Although there was no particularly unusual aura emanating from him, the old man standing right in front of Hu Gao seemed to have felt a strange vibration that shook his brain, causing him to involuntarily take half a step back, almost directly kneeling down.
The old man's eyebrows were tightly locked, as the great priest of the tribe, he knew more about the secret history of the tribe than anyone else, and he was even more familiar with the records of the guardian god's descent. To say that he didn't suspect anything would be absolutely impossible, but everything in front of him had indeed exceeded his imagination.
What's most important is that he faces a family crisis unprecedented in centuries, and has a deep sense of powerlessness. At this time, many clan members are present, if they were to find out that the ritual sacrifice had failed and the revival of the family was hopeless, how would he be able to explain himself?
The old man no longer hesitated, kneeling on one knee, his right hand raised high. "All clansmen, heed my command! Pay homage to the Guardian Deity!"
As soon as the words fell, the originally bustling scene immediately quieted down, and all the clansmen present knelt down neatly, and no one dared to utter another word.
"Behold, the Guardian Deity!" Everyone shouted in unison, their voices thundering!
Hu Gao was so scared that his heart almost jumped out, and even he himself did not expect to dare to make such a dangerous move.
Unfortunately, the play had to go on, and Hu Gao continued to pretend to be calm and collected, saying lightly: "When I crossed over into this world, I suffered a severe injury. It will take at least ten years for me to recover some of my strength, and in the worst-case scenario, I may fall into deep sleep. Don't wake me up unless it's something important!"
This remark from Hu Gao came out without any pressure, he had also read a lot about the book of inheritance and descent, presumably they were all similar, at worst it could be used to delay time.
The old man heard this and his heart was solemn, temporarily putting down the doubts in his mind. "I will carefully follow the Guardian God's decree, I am ashamed to be the great priest of the clan, with no virtue or ability, which led to the clansmen being deeply trapped in a desperate situation. I hope that the Guardian God can recover its power as soon as possible and lead the clansmen to regain their former glory!"
Hugao heard this and thought that if the old man was going to ask for some kind of skill or secret transmission, he wouldn't be able to keep up the act. Startled, he quickly closed his eyes and slowly lay back down on the altar.
The scene was eerily strange, the old man stared at Hu Gao for a long time without responding, and when he finally mustered up the courage to look up, he almost petrified. How could the Guardian God fall asleep so quickly? What exactly happened this time that caused such severe damage to him?
It seems that this unusual arrival is indeed different from the other few inheritances, and the family's road to prosperity may still have a long way to go!
"Decree of the Great Elder, dispatch the Imperial Guard to escort the Successor back to the Family's Forbidden Land. Ensure the Guardian Deity's safety at all costs. Although our secrecy measures for this ritual have been well-executed, Ning City is not what it used to be. I fear there are many Lang Tribe spies lurking among us. We cannot afford to be complacent at this moment!"
"Yes!" A tall and sturdy old man bowed his head and responded in a low voice.
Huguo's hanging heart finally calmed down, he believed that as long as he could gain enough time, he would definitely be able to adapt to this world with his own abilities!
After a violent jolt, it was only a brief moment of spring and autumn, before Hu Gao even entered the main scene, he felt his entire body being struck by lightning, almost fainting from pain.
Where could Hu Gao still hold on, he opened his eyes to find himself in a deep and secluded mountain cave, with the top of his head covered in black light-emitting objects that resembled stalactites with sharp thorns, looking eerie!
"I'm so sorry, I forgot that Lord Guardian's powers haven't recovered yet and startled you!"
The elder who was judging beside him knelt on the ground, his face pale with fright. Just now, he had rushed all the way here and forgotten to close the seal after arriving at the forbidden area, almost killing the guardian deity. Fortunately, the heavens blessed our Great Hu Tribe, and the seal automatically closed after being triggered once. Otherwise, even if he killed himself, it would be impossible to make amends!
"What kind of person are you? Where am I? What happened?"
The elder judge suddenly sprouted, his mouth agape, thinking to himself: "Could it be that the previous sealing attack made the Guardian God go crazy?" Turning his head, he thought that the successor had said before that he might fall asleep at any time, and wondered if the person in front of him was someone else.
"Are you Hu Gao?" He thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
"What's going on?" Hu Gao continued to pretend to be stupid, he didn't have the memories of his original body now, if he didn't pretend to be stupid, he was afraid that it would be exposed. "Who is Hu Gao? Tell me quickly, who am I?" Hu Gao struggled to get up from the cold hard ground and walked to the side of the judge, asking anxiously!
"You are the successor of our Hu tribe! The hope to lead the family towards revival in the future!" The elder felt that his brain was not enough, he who was responsible for the family guard team, had always been obedient to the great priest, but this time he even doubted whether he had made a mistake...
"What's with the Hu tribe? The successor?" Hu Gao covered his head again, "My head hurts so much! I remembered, I am Hu Gao! I am Hu Gao!"
"Elder Arbitrator, previously when the Guardian God was awake, he said that he would fall asleep at any time. Could it be that because of the Lord's descent, his divine soul is too powerful, causing the original Hu Gao's memories to be completely gone?" A guard behind him stepped forward, speaking weakly.
"Bai Wei, quickly go and inform the High Priest about what has happened here!" The Elder felt that he couldn't make a decision on such a big matter himself, so he hastily sent a quick-witted servant to report the news.
As soon as he finished speaking, he found Hu Gao fainted again!
