In the bamboo house, she put down the five-string phoenix harp made of sycamore wood that she had held in her arms for a long time.

The old woman beside her knelt down behind her and cut off her beloved long hair bit by bit, until the strands fell to the ground.

The originally beautiful hair has become half-length, and although it looks neat, it also has a wild look.

And her originally beautiful face became a bit angular as the miko who was kneeling in front of her applied makeup, making it difficult to tell the difference between male and female for a moment.

A white cloth belt is wrapped around the body, covered with several layers of cloud-like clothes, and a mask symbolizing the ancient gods.

Old woman: "From now on, you are Yunzhongjun's shaman."

She said: "Isn't she the concubine of the Eastern Emperor?"

Old woman: "Yun Zhongjun has come to this world, and there is still a long time before Donghuang Taiyi God's sacrifice, so Concubine Ling chose one from the other alternatives."

She asked: "Why choose me?"

Old woman: "Someone can see that Yun Zhongjun's appearance is just like yours."

She breathed a long sigh of relief.

At least, there is no need to be sent into the fire as the concubine of Taiyi God.

But in an instant she felt ashamed of her relief, because someone else had replaced her, and that person would be sent into the blazing fire and become the spiritual concubine of the Taiyi God who flew to the true fire of the sun.

During this time.

The magic witch always thinks of the time when she was still living in a bamboo house in the mountains, and often thinks of her five-stringed phoenix. She wonders who is living in the bamboo house now, and whether she has volunteered to be a mountain citizen like she once did.

Praying for blessings, but also worrying about the scene of burning one's body in flames.

The shaman got up from the small building on the edge of the bamboo forest. As soon as he went out, there was a long corridor paved with bamboos connecting to the shrine below.

Go forward, there is a shrine maiden waiting behind the shrine.

"Squeak!"

The witches opened the door and she walked inside.

At this moment, there were many people inside and outside the temple. The wizard came to the main hall and sat down under the curtain. He could vaguely see the figures outside through the curtain and the door, so he started to ask.

Witch worship outside.

"What happened?"

The priest did not answer immediately, but first respectfully burned incense and prayed, and then saluted.

"It's the believers who are fulfilling their wishes."

"Everyone is here to thank the Great God Yunzhongjun for subduing the drought demon with thunder from the sky and fire from the earth."

"They selected boys and girls and asked us to choose an auspicious time and send them to the divine realm to serve the great God Yun Zhongjun."

After the witch had finished speaking, he kowtowed to the ground.

"Please also ask the shaman to report this matter to the Great God Yunzhongjun and fulfill the wishes of the believers."

The wizard didn't reply for a long time, he just sat there.

The priest didn't urge him, he just knelt down outside and put his head on the ground, never getting up.

In the inheritance of witchcraft, in addition to the most advanced rituals of inviting gods and welcoming gods, the most convenient and concise way of communicating with gods is the art of divination.

Divination is also divided into different specifications. The more common one in Chu is the thatched divination pot. In addition, there are bamboo divination pots and tortoise shell divination pots.

At this moment, this matter is just a trivial matter, and it can be done with a thatch divination.

The witch looked at the kneeling witch outside. After a long silence, he started to perform divination.

"Please, Mr. Yunzhong!"

"Now I am making divination, and the gods are by my side. I communicate my heart to my heart, and my intention to God..."

After hundreds of eloquent divination, the shaman finally laid the thatch on the ground.

Then, while shouting.

"Kehu?"

At the same time, while looking at the criss-crossed thatch on the ground, he began to analyze the hexagrams.

The wizard looked at the ground, feeling a little dazed for a moment, thinking of many things.

Being born in the witch heritage, she knew what it meant to be sent to the realm of gods, and she had even witnessed it with her own eyes.

Although the ways to travel to the divine realms of different ancient gods are different, no living person can reach the immortal cave of any god.

Donghuang Taiyi's divine realm must be sent through fire, and Yun Zhongjun's through water, and the fate of the boys and girls who serve Yunzhongjun can naturally be known.

At this moment.

A few stray thatches on the ground can determine the life or death of others.

The shaman looked at the hexagrams silently. It seemed that he didn't interpret them for a long time, but just recited them in a low voice.

"Kehu?"

"Kehu?"

The priest finally raised his head and asked.

"Kehu?"

Finally, the shaman stared at the divination symbols in the curtain and hesitated for a long time before answering.

"No."

The priest didn't ask any more questions, just kowtowed as usual according to the procedure, said goodbye and walked outside.

Finally, he arrived outside the shrine and informed the villagers outside of the divination results.

For a while.

The villagers outside were all panicked, and their faces were as pale as those in mourning.

"What should I do?"

"Why is Lord Yun Zhong not enshrined?"

"But what did we do wrong?"

Yun Zhongjun said that he did not want their boys and girls, but this did not make them happy. Even if they were the children's parents, they might not be able to part with their children, but they were more afraid that God would not rain or bring disaster.

The priest stood outside the door, still speaking in his emotionless manner.

"We will do another divination tomorrow and we will know by then."

The villagers were frightened and frightened, but no one dared to question or even say a word loudly. They could only leave respectfully.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, everyone was still unwilling to disperse and continued to kowtow.

——

Outside the curtain of the main temple of the shrine.

The sacrificial witch came back quietly, still kneeling in front of the witch, kowtowing to her.

When his head was on the ground, the priest suddenly asked.

"Are the hexagrams really impossible?"

The shaman didn't speak, he just sat blankly behind the curtain, still looking at the divination thatch on the ground.

The sacrificial witch seemed to understand something, but he did not question the witch.

Or rather.

When the other party puts on that mask, no matter what the other party does, he, as a mortal witch, is not qualified to accuse him.

He just knelt on the ground and looked up at the shadow with a divine face behind the curtain.

"God cannot be deceived."

"You feel compassion for the death of a few people, but you have angered the gods. If the gods don't let the sky rain, then not just a few people will die, but thousands of people."

"Since ancient times, humans and gods have relied on ancient sacrifices to maintain the connection between heaven and earth. Only when mortals offer sacrifices to gods will the gods respond."

"This is an agreement made between humans and gods in ancient times. If the gods do not accept the sacrifice, the connection will be severed."

"Do you understand?"

The wizard said: "Aweng, I know..."

In the past, the priest could be said to be calm and composed no matter what the situation was, but at this moment, the priest's voice suddenly became louder, and he even stopped talking with fear.

"shut up!"

The priest said sternly and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I am not your Aweng. You are a shaman, the spiritual son of Lord Yun Zhong in the human world."

"Where did the gods come from?"

The shaman stared at the divination thatch on the ground, interpreted it carefully and then said.

"It's indeed impossible."

Only then did the priest let out a long sigh of relief, stood up and spoke.

"That's good."
