It was broad daylight at this time, the sun was shining brightly, and the surroundings were full of life and had a warm spring atmosphere.

But Li Qi looked around attentively and felt a chill.

In this vibrant place, some kind of shadow gathers.

The momentum is like a huge wave, with many mountains and obstacles, coming fiercely.

Li Qi stood beside the altar, holding up the wine cup.

Then, like a dragon sucking water, the wine in the wine cup began to swirl in the wine cup, and then turned into a thin line, quietly flying into the air and disappearing.

It's like it's been broken down.

After that, some people who were visiting me on the altar on the ground started to use their chopsticks.

It was invisible to the naked eye, but Li Qi could sense it from the "qi", which was a spherical, chaotic, weird existence with no specific form.

This... is a ghost?

Li Qi continued the sacrifice, and when he saw this, he sat down, took a sweet potato with his right hand and poured some meat sauce between the two beans, and offered it to the "corpse" with millet, millet, and cut lungs.

"It tastes delicious." A voice sounded in Li Qi's ear.

Even the surrounding temperature has dropped a lot.

Li Qi didn't answer. He knew that this was just a part of the sacrifice. Then he continued to place the bowl closer, moved the bowl of millet on the table, placed the soup and gravy on the north side of the meat sauce, and raised the lung spine to offer it to the "corpse".

”.

At this time, the host, that is, Wang Yuanwai, kowtowed repeatedly in the distance.

This was Li Qi's initial instruction, because according to etiquette, the host needs to worship the "corpse" at this moment, and then offer sacrifices to the "corpse".

"Zi" took rice three more times and told his master that he was full.

Zhu persuaded the "corpse" to eat again, and offered the tibia of the pig, the tibia of the beast, and a fish to the "corpse". The etiquette was the same as before.

The "corpse" fetched rice three more times, telling the owner that he was full, and Zhu advised the "corpse" to eat again, the same as before.

Li Qizhan acted cautiously and in accordance with etiquette.

Because he knew that although the "corpse" was the deceased, it was not.

Here, the meaning of "corpse" is the person who represents the deceased during sacrifice.

After a person dies, his or her body is regarded as the god's Lord. As the saying goes, "the dead person is the final god; the corpse is the Lord, so it is called the final Lord."

Now the "corpse" being sacrificed is actually the sacrifice, the blessing, and the ghost itself, combined into one, and the "ghosts and gods" that appear represent the attitudes of the three parties.

If the sacrifice is successfully completed, it means that the person has successfully communicated with the "ghost".

The king was kowtowing outside, his whole body was hairy and he was about to urinate.

Because, he saw with his own eyes that an unknown person was having a feast with Zhu people in broad daylight.

The temperature all around has dropped, and even the vegetation is wilting.

The terrifying thing that destroyed his family was right in front of him.

The intense fear made Wang Yuanwai almost cry.

However, Zhu Ren had repeatedly told him to do as he was told, and now all he had to do was to stand honestly after kowtowing. If he ruined the sacrificial ceremony...

Then just wait to die.

So although his tears were streaming down his face and his legs were shaking like chaff, he still kept his legs crossed to prevent himself from peeing and at the same time, he stood still.

Although Li Qi was not that scared, he was still wary.

He concentrated on completing the ritual until two quarters of an hour later, all the complicated rituals were over.

The final rites.

The benefactor removes the host's altar, beans, and bamboo baskets and places them under the east order. Then the benefactor takes his own altar, leaves the altar, and stands facing east to the west of the altar.

The "corpse" got up, drank, drank all the wine in the cup, and put down the cup.

Li Qi went down to the hall.

At this time, it is necessary to wish the person and tell the owner: "The ceremony is completed."

Li Qi followed suit and walked solemnly towards his master, who was the king.

Wang Yuanwai couldn't hold it back and really peed.

Because in this step, after the "corpse" has finished eating, the "corpse" stands up and prays in front of the "corpse" to guide it to its owner.

Wang Yuanwai looked at this scene and couldn't hold it back. He almost fell to the ground and his face turned as white as paper.

But although he held on and didn't fall, he couldn't hold his lower body back.

If I had known... I wouldn't have had soup when I had breakfast in the morning...

But, you must hold on now.

Li Qi walked up to Yuan Wang with a solemn expression.

It’s the end, but we can’t let all our efforts go to waste.

The closer you get to the end, the more cautious you must be.

"After the ceremony, please ask the master to present the 'corpse'." Li Qi said.

Wang Yuanwai stayed where he was and made no move.

Li Qi was furious, he channeled his inner energy, exhaled forward, and glared at him.

The breath he exhaled after Luck was like a slap, slapping Wang Yuanwai on the face, which made him react after being frightened.

The king rolled around and hurriedly knelt down towards the "corpse" and worshiped twice.

The "corpse" receives two bows from its host, and then bows to the person wishing the blessing.

After saluting, the "corpse" spit out a cup of wine out of thin air.

This is half of the wine that the "corpse" drank just now.

Li Qi took it solemnly and drank it all in one gulp.

At the same time, Li Qi's eyesight went dark.

After the ceremony was completed, he got the "invitation".

"Corpse" invitation.

There was darkness in front of his eyes, and Li Qi felt that his soul was being pulled by some kind of force.

He knew that the drama was coming.

According to Li Qi's own understanding, sacrificial rituals are essentially methods of communicating with ghosts and gods. Through these methods explored by predecessors, some incredible things can be accomplished.

For example, it is like some chemical experiments, where different things are thrown in in order and some weird operations are completed, such as wiping test tubes, twisting bottle caps, filling solutions, etc.

The sequence of these experiments is similar to the various key points in "Sacrifice".

The only difference is that he doesn't know the principles behind these etiquettes, so he can only follow them.

When he reaches a higher level of cultivation, he may be able to analyze the principles behind it himself.

Speaking of business, through sacrifices, blessings to people, and the ghost itself, the three together form a "corpse" to receive the ceremony. The existence of the "corpse" represents the coordination and balance of the three parties.

If there is a mistake in the ritual, or if the person wishing is unwilling, or if the ghost is unwilling, any one of the three appears, which will lead to the collapse of the "corpse" and failure of communication.

But if the sacrifice is completed, it means that through the channel of sacrifice, ghosts and people can start to communicate.

Drinking the wine spat out by the "corpse" at this moment is proof that the person has accepted the communication.

So, after drinking this wine, Li Qi's soul was immediately pulled by the ritual, and at the same time, the ghost was also pulled!

The two will be communicated in the special environment constructed by the ritual!

This is Zhuren's most famous ability.

That is to use sacrifice as a means to communicate with gods, earth, humans and ghosts!

When light appeared in front of Li Qi's eyes, he realized that he had arrived in a strange black space. There were candles lit during the previous ceremony around him, illuminating the darkness.
Chapter completed!
