The year-end sacrifice held by Yanbu every year is a very sacred event, so you have to choose a day and time.
Today is undoubtedly a good time to hold a ceremony, because the shamans of the tribe have been using the bones of vicious beasts for divination for some time.
The sky was clear and a full moon hung high above the big rock where the tribe lived, emitting wisps of bright white moonlight.
After placing the sacrifices, everyone in the tribe stood behind the witch, waiting for the time of worship to come.
Today, the witch is also dressed in a rich attire, wearing a snow-white fur coat made of unknown animal fur, a feather coat made of countless colorful feathers, and a hat made of many colorful gems and feathers.
On his crown, there are two long feathers that shoot straight into the sky, just like the two feathers on Sun Wukong's head. His hand is replaced with a different cane from the last time he worshiped the ancestor gods. The head of the cane is a
The skull of an unknown animal and the body of the staff are also made of animal bones.
The two eye holes of the skull are inlaid with two blue round gems, emitting a sapphire blue light in the night, which looks a bit scary.
The night is getting darker, the moon and stars are sparse, and everything is quiet.
Gongliang looked up at the bright moon in the sky. The moon here seemed to be brighter than what he had seen before, and the shadows in the moon were not as numerous and thick as before. It was so round that it must be fifteen.
He suddenly remembered the past Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, he would always buy some mooncakes with crispy mung bean filling, make a pot of Wuyi rock tea, and watch the moon, sip tea and eat mooncakes. At that time, he felt that life was like this,
Really, what more could I ask for.
But now, I am no longer that person, and this month is not Hometown Month. Thinking about it, one can’t help but feel sad.
The sacrifice at the end of the year is a very sacred thing. It is not only a thank you to the ancestor god for blessing the tribe this year, but also a hope and expectation that the ancestor god can continue to bless the tribe in the coming year.
The witch stood at the front, followed by the chief and second chiefs of the tribe, and behind him were the tribal warriors and tribesmen. Everyone stood quietly waiting for time. For a moment, the surroundings were silent. In this solemn and solemn situation, even
He is the most naughty and mischievous child in the tribe, but he also waits obediently.
When the moon was halfway up, the witch who had been standing there started to move.
He raised his hands high, looked up in the direction of the ancestral temple, and chanted a high-pitched and inexplicable mysterious note unhurriedly. This sound was vast and far-reaching, pointing directly to the soul, making people feel clear in their hearts, minds, and bodies.
All distracting thoughts were thrown away in an instant.
The mysterious notes are distant and long, echoing for a long time.
The high-pitched notes seemed to consume most of Wu's energy, and then his voice became gentle and soft. Under his chanting, the cluster of blue-purple flames in the middle of the stone pillars of the Neizu Temple began to jump and roll up.
The flame gradually grew larger and began to spread around. The flame body also rose higher and higher, gradually spreading to the edge of the thick stone pillar, covering the hollow part above. At the same time, another virtual flame gradually separated from the side of the flame.
The flame slowly turned from virtual to real, becoming more and more clear, and gradually two burning flames formed. They were both connected together and belonged to each other, which looked very strange.
Things are far from over.
The separated flames began to twist enchantingly under the witch's chant, and a cluster of flames was separated from each flame. The two flames came together to form a new flame shadow, standing between the two flames.
On the top, the character "Yan" is formed, which is the flame totem believed by the Yan tribe people.
After the three clusters of flames were separated, the power of the flames was dispersed and seemed a bit weak.
At this time, the witch's chant suddenly became sharp and powerful, and his body began to rhythmically dance the ancient tribal dance inherited from ancient times.
When he was dancing, the chief and second leaders of the tribe who had been following him also jumped, and then the tribal warriors behind him also danced with them and sang ancient ancient songs. The old man from the tribe next to him picked up the
The leather drums responded with a special rhythm, guiding their movements, and the warriors of the tribe also beat the ground with bones and spears to follow suit.
Gradually, the adult men and women in the tribe joined in, singing and dancing along.
This is an ancient tribal dance inherited from ancient times, and it is also a war dance that symbolizes victory.
For a time, the chants of witches, the vast ancient songs of tribal warriors, the singing of adult men and women were combined with the sounds of the tribal elders' leather drums, warrior bones, spears and other things to form a new movement, although it was not gorgeous.
, but very simple and touching.
Gongliang has seen this situation once before, which was the last sacrifice held at the ancestral temple after the tribal warriors returned from hunting, but this time it was undoubtedly more grand.
As the witch chanted, Gongliang saw what he saw last time in the ancestral temple.
A trace of green smoke floated out from the heads of all the ferocious beasts behind them, drifting towards the big rock where the tribe lived.
Suddenly, he saw an incredible scene and couldn't help but widen his eyes. The fireworks that were originally located in the Ancestral Temple slowly floated out from the Ancestral Temple, and became bigger and bigger under the injection of green smoke from the ferocious beast.
It's so big that it's almost as tall as a big rock.
The flames floating out were originally very thin, but under the injection of green smoke from the ferocious beasts, they suddenly burned fiercely. In just a moment, the thin flames became very full, strong, powerful, and hot, as if
It can burn everything at any time.
After another ancient dance ended, everyone stopped and knelt down to worship the ancestral god Yanhuo floating in front of the big stone. For a moment, there was silence everywhere.
At this moment, Wu suddenly looked into the sky and shouted, his voice high-pitched and distant, as if it could tear apart time and space and illuminate the eternity.
As he shouted, the flame with the word "焱" that appeared in front of the big stone suddenly exploded and split into countless sparks that flew everywhere.
Sparks fell from above like snowflakes and sprinkled on everyone in the tribe.
Because the sparks fell from the sky, Gongliang got some extra sparks this time. The sparks fell on his body and turned into streams of clear water pouring in from the center of his eyebrows, making him feel clear and clear for a while, making his whole body feel comfortable and giving him goosebumps.
After the clear water flowed all over the body, I opened my eyes and saw that some of the tribal warriors in front were still intoxicated by the energy from the sparks. The flame patterns on their bodies became very bright, as if they had come to life; some warriors
After waking up, he couldn't help but beat his chest and roared loudly. The wild roar gave this primitive tribe a sense of desolation.
Every time the ferocious beast is worshiped, the tribal warriors will receive some extraordinary power from the sparks exploded by the ancestral god Yanhuo.
It is precisely because of this that people in the tribe are so enthusiastic about worshiping the ancestral gods. Otherwise, ferocious beasts are not so easy to hunt. Without enough benefits, no fool would do it.
After the worship was over, the people in the tribe rushed to present their most precious things to the witch.
Wu smiled and accepted things from a few people, while pushing the others back.
The next step is to divide the meat. There are a lot of ferocious beasts hunted this year, so everyone in the tribe can get some. However, the meat of these ferocious beasts is full of energy and blood, and not ordinary people can bear it. So when dividing the meat, the tribe
The warriors there specifically told them to make soup from the meat of ferocious beasts, and they could only drink one bowl a day, otherwise their blood and qi would be full, and in severe cases they might explode and die.
