The gongs and drums are noisy, singing and dancing!
The festive atmosphere infected every villager. They danced, prayed and blessed.
The flames were lit in clusters, with enthusiasm, wildness, and indescribable ancient vitality and charm.
It is difficult for the outside world to see such primitive and passionate scenes. Mo Yinge does not think they are "ignorant". She can feel the deep belief contained in them.
The braziers were arranged in a square circle around the firewood altar, with a fire mage standing upright between them. The rich fire element was attracted by the altar ceremony.
""
Under the altar, the old priest recited ancient sacrificial inscriptions, and inexplicable voices spread everywhere.
The flames in the brazier suddenly rose and turned bright red. Mo Yinge knew that the fire element was involved in the burning, and it could be called a magical flame.
As the ceremony continued, more and more fire elements were gathered. Moyinge could feel that all the fire elements within a radius of several kilometers were probably absorbed. A frightening power shrouded the village. The red yarn had already As rich as fire.
"This is too amazing. Once these magic elements fall, they may be comparable to super-level methods!"
Mo Yingge's eyelids were twitching wildly. What kind of festival ceremony was this Ta Miao doing? ! This is preparing to release super-level magic! !
Simply outrageous!
The golden flame leaves of the altar's firewood swayed slightly. They became even brighter after absorbing the fire element, and they looked nothing like plants.
The fire mage and the brazier formed a formation, confining and binding the majestic ability, and then directed it to the fire wood of the altar.
A vortex of flames descended from the sky, completely covering the altar's firewood.
The scene is really spectacular and shocking, and it can also be regarded as extremely sacred!
"What's going on? Why is this ceremony so grand? Except for the merger of the three villages decades ago, it has not been held like this for many years, and the priest did not tell us in advance. What should we do? We are offering sacrifices to our ancestors. Isn’t the quality not up to par?”
Some people have already started to panic. If the old priest pushed the festival to this scale without any notice, then their previous preparations would not be enough.
In the village, disrespecting the ancestors is the biggest sin.
"It's okay, it's okay. The priest must have his intentions. Maybe this is the manifestation of the ancestors!"
"The ancestors bless you!"
"Ancestral blessings!"
…
The villagers began to worship spontaneously.
And some people are also a little "panicked".
"What's going on? Did the old man notice us?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Impossible, if we knew, we would have been beaten to death long ago!" Another person said firmly. He knew the old priest and would never allow him to do anything detrimental to the village.
"Is it really okay for us to do this? If we are discovered, we will be beaten to death." Some people still feel guilty. He regrets that he was deceived by power, but now it is difficult to get off the pirate ship.
"What's the matter? The blue village has guardian beasts, the black village has the bird contract, and the red village relies on firewood trees. Remember, we are just the descendants of the wanderers who destroyed the village. If we want to revive the village, we must seize the opportunity. , get the power of the fire wood altar!" said the leader.
He could see that his companion still had some worries, so he added another fire:
"What are you still hesitating about? Let me tell you, the big shots above are also here this time, but they just didn't show up. They are watching us. Do you want to be like Xiao Zhang?!"
Sure enough, when they heard Xiao Zhang, their eyes suddenly panicked. That kind of cruel and inhuman punishment was definitely not something that people could bear.
"Did the higher ups really send someone here? I heard that the old priest is very powerful."
"Don't worry, how could I lie to you? If I complete the mission this time, I will be able to advance to another level. Then I will be a distinguished blue-robed person, and you will be my most trusted priest. By then, everyone will gain greater power. What can’t be done?!”
…
Mo Yingge didn't know that someone was secretly trying to cause trouble, but the old priest who was reciting the sacrificial incantation moved his ears slightly and had a slightly shocked look on his face, but he quickly suppressed it.
He has always known that there are people in the village who have different intentions. This has been expected since he took in the survivors of other destroyed villages decades ago.
But he didn't expect that someone would collude with outsiders to murder the cornerstone of the entire village!
Most of the twelve villages in Bailiang Mountain have been destroyed long ago, and now only three large villages remain.
Lanzhai has been protected by guardian beasts for generations. I heard that this generation also has a spirit boy. It is a lucky coincidence that he can communicate with the guardian beasts.
There is a group of phoenix-crested black crows near Heizhai. It is said that they are the descendants of ancient totems. They have good relations with humans and have contracted with the people of Heizhai for generations to coexist.
The Hong Village where I am located has left behind the ancient tree species that the legendary Holy God inhabited, that is, the Firewood, which has brought together strong elemental power for the village. Therefore, their village also has the highest number of awakened mages among all the villages. It was only thanks to Yu Ze that I achieved some success.
Therefore, he will never allow anyone to do things that are harmful to the village!
A flash of light flashed in the old priest's eyes. Few people knew that he had the power of music and could listen to the sound of the entire village as long as he wanted to. Just now, he was reciting the sacrificial inscriptions to unite his mind and heart, and he happened to hear something he shouldn't have heard.
"We still need to calm down and see what they are going to do. As long as they don't harm the village, let them do it, but..."
The red cloud covering the entire village suddenly moved in mid-air, and its flow speed increased by three minutes out of thin air.
"But the most important thing is to confirm the identity of the girl. If it is true to the legend, then it will be a real celebration!"
The old priest had lived for so many years and always thought that the scepter passed down from generation to generation was just a sturdier object. It wasn't until Mo Yingge appeared that he was shocked to realize that this scepter passed down for thousands of years was really extraordinary.
In fact, every generation of priests knows that this ancient scepter must be extraordinary, but no one can find anything different, except that it is indestructible.
It's impossible for them to fight with a scepter.
Therefore, the old priest is sure that Mo Yinge hides a shocking secret, which may be the hope for the village's revival.
Especially since Mo Yinge is a woman.
You must know that in the oldest legend of their clan, only the purest women can directly serve the supreme totem they worship.
In the secret tradition passed down orally by the priests, the woman with the highest status was the leader of the tribe in the ancient wilderness era. This scepter should actually be the symbol of power of the tribal leader at that time.
No matter what, the old priest was determined to give it a try, which is why today's sudden grand celebration ceremony took place.
It takes time to accumulate fire crystals, and the sacred tree will suffer a lot of damage. These are undoubtedly consuming the village's heritage, but some things must be done.
Even if she is just an unfounded guess, even if it is just an ancient legend.
Thanks to "lllustration" for the reward, and also for the monthly ticket support of "The Heart" and "Round the Mountain and Wind"!
