Chapter 379 The Holy Festival is coming!(1/2)
After hearing You Nian's story, Lu Yan finally knew the full story of the battle between Zhurong and Gonggong, the breakup of Buzhou Mountain, and the battle between the lich and the lich.
all in all.
The origin of all this is because of Zhu Rong, because of His appearance!
It was He who changed Zhu Rong, thus changing the entire Wu clan!
Then it affects the order and development of the entire human world!
You Nian continued: "The tragic ending of the Lich War made our ancestors wake up, and they began to seek ways to restrain and solve the curse."
"Finally, our ancestors discovered that the colder the place, the weaker the power of the curse and the less impact it has on us."
"So our ancestors led the surviving tribesmen after the Lich War to move to this far west land."
"They used the bitter cold in the far west to restrain the curse and find a way to solve the curse."
"It's just that to this day, the curse has not been resolved, and it is still flowing in our blood!"
"We can remain rational and calm now, but once we leave the Far West and go to the outside world, we will become ferocious!"
"This is why we would rather live in the far west than return to the east of Buzhou Mountain where our ancestors once lived!"
Having said this, You Nian took a deep breath and said decisively: "We no longer want to be controlled by the curse, and we no longer want to be his slaves!"
So far.
Lu Yan has basically fully understood the development of this series of events.
Zhu Rong brought back his idol, so Gonggong fought with Zhu Rong, breaking Mount Buzhou and cutting off the connection between the human world and "Heaven".
But He who came from "Heaven" still brought the curse to the entire Witch Clan.
As a result, the temperament of everyone in the witch clan changed drastically, and a war between lich and lich broke out under the influence of the curse.
After the war, the Witch Clan woke up from the curse and used the bitter cold in the far west to restrain the curse and find a way to solve the curse.
It’s just that after thousands of years, the Wu Clan still hasn’t found a way to solve the curse!
After thinking about all this, Lu Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
He really didn't expect that there were so many hidden secrets in this matter!
At this time, he also understood Awang's performance.
After leaving the Far West, the curse in his body was no longer suppressed by the cold, and Awang's temperament gradually changed.
That’s why Ngawang behaves cruelly and violently, feeding on the essence of the internal organs!
Thinking of this, he said to You Nian: "I once saw with my own eyes that Awang devoured the essence of the internal organs, which is extremely evil."
You Nian looked at Lu Yan with a faint look, and said softly: "We, the Wu Clan, only have two thousand people here, and we are the only one living here."
You Nian did not answer Lu Yan's question directly, but Lu Yan already understood what You Nian wanted to express.
In the far west, there are only two thousand witch clans surviving, and there is no condition for cultivating the essence of swallowing up the internal organs!
If the Wu clan had such a tradition, they would probably have perished due to cannibalism!
The reason why Awang did such evil things must be due to the influence of the curse, not his original intention!
This shows how terrifying this curse is to the Wu clan!
Amiao once told Lu Yan before that only the most powerful person in the tribe can become the high priest.
He originally thought that "the most powerful" refers to strength.
I never expected that "the most powerful" actually refers to acting!
That performance of You Nian earlier.
It really made him think that the Wu clan should be so cruel and eager for life in the outside world, and would not hesitate to start a war for this reason.
But who would have thought that all of this was actually performed by You Nian to deceive Him!
I have to say, this acting is quite realistic.
If it hadn't been for You Nian's explanation later, he would have hardly noticed any problem at all.
But think about it carefully.
No matter who is acting like this every day.
Your acting skills will probably become so superb that you will even have to deceive yourself!
But, the outside is different from the inside, couldn't He notice it?
Thinking of this, Lu Yan asked curiously: "What you are thinking in your heart is different from your outward appearance. Couldn't He notice it?"
When You Nian heard Lu Yan's question, he replied: "Everything is just a formality, He knows everything."
Lu Yan understood.
His supervision of the Wu clan is only limited to the outside world.
He is not clear about the inner being.
You Nian continued: "He was truly omniscient and omnipotent."
"But because Gonggong broke Mount Buzhou, it cut off the connection between the world and heaven."
"The bitter cold in the far west suppresses the curse, so His control over us is only reflected on the outside."
Lu Yan heard You Nian's explanation and asked, "Have you never thought about living in the outside world?"
Younian replied: "If the curse can be lifted, maybe I will lead my people back to their ancestral land."
"But before that, we will never leave the Far West."
Lu Yan asked in confusion: "According to what you said, what happened to Awang and Ale's departure?"
Younian sighed and replied: "Because of the Holy Festival."
Lu Yan was thoughtful.
Before coming here, he had already learned about the Holy Festival through Amiao.
That was the only day of the year in the Far West where there was no wind of swords.
Therefore, the Wu clan designated this day as a holy day.
On this day, a grand sacrificial ceremony will be held with singing and dancing.
You Nian continued to explain: "There is no sword wind on Holy Festival Day, and it is not as cold as usual."
"So on this day, He is most active and monitors us most closely."
"So we have to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony on this day every year to worship our ancestors and worship Him."
"We want Him to see that we are still His loyal slaves."
"We live here and have not invaded the Central Plains because we are still recovering and recuperating."
Having said this, You Nian couldn't help but show a look of pain on his face.
On the holy day, because there is no sword wind, all the Wu clan people will be happy on this day.
She looked at the smiles that only appeared once a year on everyone's faces. She was smiling, but she was in incomparable pain inside.
She had to worry all the time whether He would come suddenly.
Or some clues may be seen, causing bad things to happen.
Every holy day was like a catastrophe for her, and she was always on tenterhooks.
During the ninety years since she took over as high priest, although every Holy Festival has been painful, fortunately, there has been no crisis.
But on this year's holy day, something unexpected happened.
He has not appeared for a long, long time, and he has arrived again!
Although it was just a will, she truly felt His existence!
The feeling of being in endless darkness, tightly shrouded in darkness, unable to see any light, unable to hear any sound, and even breathing and heart beating has stopped, is really worse than real death.
horrible!
Every time she thought about it, she felt deeply frightened!
That is definitely not something that the power of the Great Witch can contend with!
Lu Yan looked at the change in the expression on You Nian's face, frowned and asked, "He has arrived?"
You Nian nodded and replied: "Yes, He has arrived."
"He has brought us the will to leave the far west and go to the Central Plains!"
"I had no room for rejection, so I chose the two kindest people among my disciples, Nga Wang and Ali."
"But even the kindest of them turned cruel when faced with the curse."
Having said this, You Nian couldn't help but show a look of guilt on his face.
In order to continue to gain His trust, she sacrificed Awang and Ale with her own hands!
