The common feature of these masks is that their facial features are not as clear as other masks.
The pale eyeless mask looked so dazzling against the blood-red clothes.
The masks sit on various joints of the woman, shoulders, elbows, and even knees.
The woman's figure is very soft, but this soft feeling adds a bit of indescribable strangeness to the weird atmosphere at the moment.
Along with the feminine dancing posture, every time the woman's joints move, the mask above will float to varying degrees. From a distance, it seems as if these masks have come alive.
This made the woman instantly become the focus of the audience, and every movement she made was as soft as a snake.
The body movements are exaggerated, and this degree of exaggeration can even bring an inexplicable pressure to people's psychology.
All the old men who had appeared before began to dance with the woman as the center, and all the musical instruments also served the woman.
When the music changes, the woman's movements will also change slightly. For example, the always soft dance posture will turn to show calm, bold and upright body movements when accompanied by important drum beats.
And when the music begins to be delivered in a low and melodious voice, the woman's movements will give people an eerie sense of immediacy.
The faces of Lake and others were full of horror at this time. Most of them had never heard of it, let alone seen it.
Nuo opera is on the verge of being lost in modern times and has now been listed as an intangible cultural heritage.
It’s not because there are fewer people who know how to do it, but because there is no place to put it into practice.
Almost all troupes that can sing ghost opera still retain the inheritance of Nuo opera, but so what?
On the stage, who would appreciate this weird opera culture?
If someone who doesn’t know the cultural heritage sees a dance with such a weird atmosphere, how can he feel the inheritance spirit and profound connotation of this culture?
On the altar, Zhao Qi was not idle either. He was holding the bowl of strong wine in his hand and kept throwing it around the altar.
In witchcraft, this is called sweeping the altar, and toasting all directions with strong wine. It is an extremely important step in ancient witchcraft rituals.
Finally, the sound of the musical instruments faded, and the Nuo dance movements that were originally opening and closing also stopped.
When the final music sound suddenly stopped, all the dancers seemed to have lost their lives, maintaining the last movements and freezing in place.
"it's time."
Zhao Qi thought silently, then put the remaining liquor in the bowl in his mouth, and then picked up the still burning incense candle wick between his fingers.
"call!"
The moment Zhao Qi spurted out the liquor from his mouth, the liquor caught fire and burst into flames.
In an instant, a fire dragon shot straight into the sky, illuminating all directions and also illuminating Lake and others who were looking intently at Zhao Qi.
I saw a strange handprint in Zhao Qi's hand, and the backs of his hands were touching like lotus blossoms.
The only interlocking two fingers in the hand hold a writing brush.
Zhao Qi closed his eyes and chanted softly. Although his voice was not loud, in the silent environment, everyone could hear every word he said clearly.
"One stroke shakes the world, two strokes with the Patriarch's Sword, and three strokes with a fierce spirit and evil spirit, traveling thousands of miles away."
While talking, Zhao Qi dipped his brush in the black dog's blood on the altar table, and then leaned over the altar to write gracefully.
"Santai gave birth to me, Santai nourished me, and Santai protected me."
Gradually, a complex and obscure spell appeared on the ground of the altar in front of Zhao Qi.
While Zhao Qi was drawing the talisman, he walked around the fox demon with seven-star steps at a specific pace.
When the last stroke was completed, the brush quickly spun around on his fingertips, and then was held in the palm of Zhao Qi's hands.
"The heaven and earth hide in one turn, the ghosts and gods are startled in the second turn, the sun and the moon come together at two o'clock to move the universe, and the urgency is like a law!"
Strangely enough, just as Zhao Qi's voice fell, the candles originally burning around the altar were blown out by a gust of wind.
"call……"
The altar suddenly dimmed. At first, Lake and others were worried about whether there was an accident, but then they noticed that the strange talisman drawn by Zhao Qi on the ground slowly shone with a faint golden light, and gradually illuminated it. The dark altar was illuminated.
However, Zhao Qi was not surprised by all this. He gently placed the brush on the altar table, then dipped his middle finger in the rooster's blood and came to the fox demon.
This smear of rooster blood was touched by Zhao Qi on the fox demon's eyebrows.
In an instant, the fox demon trembled violently, and then his eyes froze in place.
"If you want to become a god, you must first get rid of the evil spirits, cut off the dirty soil, and let your soul be pure..."
Zhao Qi sat cross-legged and silently opposite the fox demon. The next step was really important to him.
This entire ancient ritual was designed to help him summon the Gods List.
One, it can be regarded as the first time to become a god.
Second, it is for the purpose of calling for fame.
From now on, naturally there is no need to be so cumbersome anymore, and it will be much easier to become a god next time.
Now that everything that can be done has been done, the only thing Zhao Qi is not sure about is whether this ritual will play its due role in summoning the list of gods?
The weird music came again, and the entire Nuo sacrifice ceremony was coming to an end.
The old people and the woman in red began to take strange steps and circle around the altar.
Only weird tones can be heard from the sounds coming out of the mouth, but the words of the drama cannot be heard clearly.
The masks on their faces faded and appeared in the lingering firelight. If someone who didn't know why saw this scene, they would definitely feel like a group of demons dancing around.
Only the talisman in front of Zhao Qi shone with golden light and was full of righteousness.
"In accordance with God's will from above, and all things below, Zhao Qi, the leader of the list, hereby invites you - the list of gods!!"
When Zhao Qi's hands were clasped together like lotus flowers again, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from between his palms.
Buzz!
This golden light was dazzling, but as panic-stricken as the sun, it contained coercion and was dignified.
Lake and others just felt that the sinister wind that had always made them uncomfortable suddenly disappeared, followed immediately by the warmth coming from the altar.
And the scroll with a simple shape suddenly appeared in Zhao Qi's hand!
At this moment, Zhao Qi finally showed a happy smile.
Last time at the National Secret Service, he tried to change the list of gods, but there was no response. After that, he tried several times in succession, but still no feedback.
In desperation, Zhao Qi could only find a solution from folk customs, and finally finalized this ancient ritual. Fortunately, everything he did now was worth it.
Not only is the summoning successful, but one can also become a god by the way.
And he knows very well that this moment is enough to be recorded in history, because it is the continuation of ancient civilization and the miracle of the reappearance of gods in later generations!
Thinking back to ancient times when gods were enthroned, it has been tens of millions of years.
At this time, Zhao Qi stood up with the list of gods in his right hand, looking down at the whole body, bathed in golden light, like a god coming to earth.
And at the moment when it was covered by golden light, the fox demon also returned as if from a dream.
It felt the supreme majesty emanating from Zhao Qi, and instinctively bowed its head and kowtowed respectfully.
Waiting for the apotheosis!
Wow——
As the list of gods was slowly opened by Zhao Qi, the scroll was spread out in front of him, and the diamond became more and more dazzling.
Perhaps due to the influence of the Conferred Gods List, Zhao Qi at this time also completely escaped into an unprecedented experience.
At the moment when the List of Conferred Gods was opened, he seemed to be able to see the completion and destruction of all things in the world, and even in that moment, he suddenly felt separated from the world and the years...
"What Zhao Qi said before is true!"
At the same time, Cai An, who was watching from a distance, widened his eyes and wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a particularly heavy look of shock on his face.
The others didn't make a sound, they just stared at the figure standing in the golden light in the distance, in a daze.
