"What's this?"
Mu Duo stared blankly at the paintings sent by Bai Yu. Huo Ranwen.
The drawing is very simple. The lines outline a fat and white figure with small arms and legs, a big head, a lot of cotton-like hair, two horns, and a weird-shaped hairstyle on the top of the head. It looks like...
"It's called Lazy Sheep, and I painted it very seriously."
"Lazy? Sheep? What is that?"
"It's a sheep demon, a child. Let me tell you, it's very lazy and greedy, so it ended up looking like this." Bai Yu explained seriously.
Mu Duo nodded, secretly remembering the appearance of this 'sheep demon'.
Bai Yu wandered around in the Holy Maiden's Pavilion, looking at the beds and chairs and touching the carvings on the windows. Although the house was quite exquisite, it was too deserted and it always felt cool and feng shui-like.
I came to see Mu Duo for business.
"You said you want to hold a ceremony, what should I do? Should I roar twice or remain majestic and motionless? Or should I hold a crocodile in my mouth to show my ferocity?"
"Uh... no need, you can just cling to the giant tree when the time comes."
"That's it, it's very simple."
There was no conversation after that. It seemed that Mu Duo's state of mind was as cold as the room. He was the type who could sit at the table all day if he had nothing to do. To Bai Yu, it felt more like facing a piece of wood or covered with hoarfrost in late autumn. Wood, how did a good girl become like this?
She is the typical dream lover of those sour scholars in the Central Plains. She depicts the sadness of a cold woman, and uses poetry to touch people's hearts and win her back.
Iceberg beauty is just the right description.
Mu Duo just stood there and watched Bai Yu pick and touch, and also watched generously as a certain snake took away the night pearl on the bedside, as if he didn't care about it except for the safety of the village. If the only thing he was happy about was White Snake is a woman.
I didn't have anything to say. I thought I would get a gift in return for sending a top-notch painting from across the ages, but I never thought I would have to dismantle the Night Pearl myself. Forget it, I won't waste time here and go shopping outside.
So, Mu Duo watched a snake holding the diamond in one hand and playing with the luminous pearl up and down as he went out.
There is an idle wandering person in Yunyao Ancient Village...
I don’t know who made the delicious food, but I don’t know what method was used. In short, the villagers will happily serve the delicious food. Someone is dyeing cloth, and they come forward to help dye the cloth into a mess. Young men and women are singing duets on the hillside. The love song is looking for a partner, but a demonic snake suddenly appears and scares the girl and boy away.
Yunyao Ancient Village was in a state of uproar, and at this time of overwhelming resentment, the return ceremony of the Holy Beast was ushered in.
…………
An auspicious day.
Dozens of nearby village tribes, large and small, have gathered in Yunyao Ancient Village. When the village is full, they climb up the walls, roofs, and even the hillsides. People, men, women, old and young, dressed in festive costumes, are all from the ancient village. Everyone got to know each other well and happily ate dried fruits and pulp while waiting for the ceremony.
The girls put on new clothes full of embroidery and all silver jewelry, looking like peacocks in full bloom.
The boys dressed up smartly and tried hard to attract the girl's attention. The grand ceremony for the return of the sacred beast turned into a blind date event for young people from all over the country.
The outside of the central square of the village was full of people. The chiefs and priests of other tribes were seated. The gathering of experts was astonishing.
Although all the big guys have advanced cultivation, no one has any objections to the return of the holy beast. Jiuli's special belief makes them never doubt the oracle of the ancestral god, and they are even more pious than ordinary villagers.
The sky was clear, colorful flags were fluttering in the ancient village, and tens of thousands of people watched the ceremony at the same time.
The corpses of three ferocious beasts were placed under the giant tree. They were sacrifices to the sacred beasts that were hunted by the masters of the ancient village. The bloody corpses added a sense of wildness to the ceremony.
Mu Duo stood in front of the giant tree wearing a Jiuli costume, as cold as ice as usual.
There is still carnival in the village, the reeds are played melodiously, and the girls dancing in a row holding hands are merrily and eye-catching. The clan leaders and old priests receive the leaders of other village tribes. People who are immersed in the festival do not feel that the catastrophe is coming...
The old priest looked up at the sun and nodded to the patriarch.
The strong patriarch waved his hand.
The young people playing the Lusheng and dancing happily retreated, the place became empty, and the people who were chatting with each other also became quiet. For a while, the ancient village was quiet and only the sound of the wind could be heard.
He turned to the drummer and nodded.
There are nine large drums placed around the site. The drums are huge, about one foot, and are made of the skins of ferocious beasts in the southern wilderness. The sound can be heard for hundreds of miles. It can only be played by holding the bones of ferocious beasts.
Nine shirtless muscular men raised animal bones high...
Boom~!
The animal bones fell, the drum vibrated and made a loud noise, the sound was unparalleled for hundreds of miles!
Boom! Boom! Boom...
For a moment, I could only hear the sound of drums reverberating, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be blown away by the sound of the drums. Then the people of Jiuli Mountain followed the sound of the drums and roared. Men, women, old and young let out desolate roars as if calling their ancestors and praising their ancestors. The roars accompanied by the drums echoed in the Shiwan Mountains of the Southern Wilderness. !
Many demon kings raised their heads and looked in the direction of Yunyao Ancient Village, and the leaders of various sects in the Central Plains looked towards Nanhuang.
Jiuli and Baibu were happy, but Heibu looked ugly. In their view, Baibu was a group of traitors who betrayed Jiuli and the ancestral god. They were surprised that the holy beast could be found in Yunyao Ancient Village. You know, the real holy beast It's not like those small villages and small tribes just randomly find monsters. Real holy beasts are extremely rare. Once there is a holy beast, it will definitely rise.
In the square, the patriarch raised his hand.
The drumming and shouting stopped, and the old priest came on stage and walked tremblingly next to Mu Duo.
Mu Duo nodded, and the old priest began to recite the incantation. The mysterious incantation echoed far away, and the yin and yang fluctuated sometimes high and sometimes low. Tens of thousands of people quietly listened to the old priest reciting the incantation...
After a long time, the spell stopped, and a painting slowly appeared on the huge animal skin behind him. The painting was of a white snake, which was the totem of the Yunyao tribe.
The saint took a step forward, and although her voice was small, everyone present could hear it clearly.
"Holy beast please~!"
Tens of thousands of people concentrated on seeing the majestic appearance of the sacred beast, staring at the tall tall tree. The next step was the most critical and mysterious moment of the entire ceremony.
The scene was quiet again, so quiet that one could hear breathing.
Mu Duo was suddenly worried that the white snake would sleep in and forget what day it was. He still remembered that yesterday he was asking around for the date of the ceremony, hoping not to make a joke...
Fortunately, Bai Yu did not sleep in, but was reluctant to let go of the big diamond.
After two or three breaths, just when everyone was tense, a huge white snake suddenly flew out from the sea of mist. The white snake twisted and writhed, and was surrounded by colorful clouds. The snake's tail swayed from side to side as if it was swimming underwater. There is a kind of indescribable beauty, and the people of Jiuli Baibu Mountain are very satisfied with Bai Yu's image.
As the saying goes, appearance also represents acceptance. The higher the appearance, the easier it is to be accepted.
"Ho~!"
A roar came, and it was not a pre-arranged emotion...
