[Xianyin Mountain is four hundred miles to the east and is called Xun Mountain. Its yang is full of gold and its yin is full of jade. There is a beast there. It looks like a sheep but has no mouth. It cannot be killed. Its name is Nin. The Xun River flows out, and flows southward into the Yanzhi River, where there are many weeds. 】

Ruan Fou watched the sacrificial rice being pulled up stone by stone, and saw the strange sheep-like beast yawning on the high sacrificial platform in Xun Mountain. Ruan Fou thought it was a relative of Lamb.
There is much more meat than lamb.
The place of worship for the Gaoshi family is halfway up the Xun Mountain, and the grain sent by various tribes and their escort teams have been waiting here for a long time. One advantage is that the tribes who came to offer sacrifices and the grain escorts are all In charge of food, tell the Shi clan to give the small head and the Xunshan clan to give the big head.
This is one of the reasons why Yu Fou feels that the treatment here is pretty good.
If you don't care about food, it will be miserable.
"The Xunshan clan is a big tribe, the overlord of the southern wilderness. They raise an immeasurable amount of livestock. Besides, there are not many people in the escort team, but your tribe sent a lot of people... "
Ge Ta chatted with Yu Fou and glanced at Chi Fang's area.
Hmm... But then again, although there are many people, they are basically not awakened. The food consumed is actually similar to that of other tribes. The Xunshan clan has the power of deification, so there is no need to worry about food production and so on. Yes, their cultivated land is quite large.
A powerful tribe, powerful food, and the food sacrificed to heaven and earth every year is actually transported to Xun Mountain. It is impossible for all the food here to be eaten by the gods. Sacrifice? To put it bluntly, it means tribute, but sacrifice is collective. In sexual activities, God still has to eat in name, and cannot overstep it. What is left over after God eats it belongs to the Xunshan family.
This is also a good activity to get food. It's like playing a game to recruit vassals. The vassals will help you solve the food problem, and what you pay for yourself is just a few meals for them.
Ruan Fou muttered: "This plan is really clever, it's so wonderful. After the sacrifice in the Central Plains, the sacrifice rice will be distributed to other people who participated in the sacrifice, but in the end, it was taken away directly here in the south?"
Selfish and greedy Southerners!
Ruan Fou defined the Xunshan family in her mind, and thought that what Wu said before was indeed correct. The Tonghong family was narrow-minded and the Gao Shi family was greedy. But now it seems that the Xunshan family is actually even more greedy. .
"Speaking of offering sacrifices to the gods, how much can the gods eat?"
Yuan Fou asked curiously, and Ge Ta said: "God, is that the great witch on Mount Xun? He represents god. After Emperor Zhuanxu gained access to heaven and earth, how many great gods are there in the world? The mountain gods have been almost wiped out... ..”
"But the great witch from Xun Mountain has extremely rich divine blood. If we insist on saying that he is a god, it's actually... right!"
Ge Ta Shen Shen Nao said to Yu Fou: "It is said that he is the son of the Xun Mountain God. In the past two hundred years, the gods began to disappear in the mountains and seas. Many gods turned to the tribes in the form of totems, and this one ...It is said that his mother got pregnant due to the induction of Xun Mountain and gave birth to him. When he was born, thousands of birds flew in Xun Mountain and the mountains shook, which was very shocking."
"So, he is not really a 'person'."
Yu Fou said: "I heard that Emperor Zhuanxu's ability to master heaven and earth prevented the gods from continuing to pass on the inheritance, so they left. Did they disappear, or did they become attached to the tribe?"
Ge Ta nodded: "That's right, gods can't be passed down, and gods don't last forever. Emperor Zhuanxu gave gods a lifespan, and they would grow old, sick, and die. So if you want to avoid it, you need to pass it on, but they can't, and they are also Emperor Zhuanxu made a rule not to leave blood, so he attached it to a totem, or... on a human body."
"This is what happened in the past when gods were born through induction. Isn't that how Fuxi was born?"
"How do you think the great wizard used his dance to subjugate the gods?"
"The good thing about this is that the gods can no longer gather together, and they are all alone. The bad thing... Hmm... For us, it seems that there hasn't been much change, and there are still people weighing on our heads. .”
Ge Ta thought for a while and came to this conclusion.
Yufu feels very novel, like opening the door to a new world.
"Yes, you haven't said yet, how much rice can he eat?"
Ge Ta hummed for a while, then said in an uncertain tone: "About three stones..."
"Eating three stones for a meal? Dolphin!"
Yufu exclaimed, and Ge Ta glared at him and stood up: "What nonsense are you talking about? Go ahead."
He stood up because it was time for the "trial sacrifice".
The so-called "trial ceremony"... is actually a rehearsal.
Everyone, go through the process and don't make mistakes anywhere. If someone makes a mistake, you won't have to eat tonight.
The shaman of the Gao Shi family came. He was a tall old man with a goatee on his chin. His old eyes were not dim, but had a terrifying majesty. His forehead was clean and there was no hair hanging down, but it was tied up in his mind. Later, the binding method was used by the Getian clan in the Central Plains.
He is strong and has a high back. He is wearing a robe made of several kinds of animal skins and a coat made of blue feathers. He looks like a living birdman...
"During the primeval times, Ge Tianshi led his tribe to build the Ge Tian Qiong House under the influence of Fu Xi. He made Guangle, made Ge cloth, Ge clothes, and made rituals. He created things and created Zhuan and Meng, and he ruled the world. Also, be confident without saying anything, be self-confident without being transformed, be self-confident without saying anything..."
When Yu Fou saw this costume and heard Ge Ta say something about the origin of the costume, he couldn't help but think of the Ge Tian clan in the Central Plains. Unfortunately, the Chifang clan was not a big tribe in the Central Plains at that time. After the Jinyun clan, this bullshit Just blow it. There are so many branches of the Jinyun family, and the Chifang family is not the only one.
Distant relatives from eighteen generations later may still be written down in the family tree, but when you actually meet them, will you care how they are doing?
Just a stranger from the same clan.
The shaman of the Gaoshi family began to divide the place for everyone to stand during the sacrifice. This was a serious matter, and napping was not allowed. However, something went wrong as things developed. At the foot of the mountainside, a group of people hurried up the mountain in anger. Come.
"The shamans of the Tong Hong family are coming? Can't they stop them? Are they going to go up the mountain?"
The shaman from the Gao Shi clan frowned and looked not far away. Sure enough, the shaman from the Tong Hong clan had really come. Not only did he come, he also brought several people with him. Looking at the posture, he didn't look like he was here to participate in a sacrifice.
"That's incredible, you dare to lose your temper in Xunshan?"
The witch from the Gao Shi family pushed the crowd away, and the shaman from the Tong Hong family stopped immediately when they saw him.
"Let's go."
The warning and stern voice echoed in the quiet mountainside camp.
Wu Yin, who told Shishi, had a sullen face: "You go, why don't you move forward? You are so powerful as a witch!"
The shaman of the Tonghong clan was silent for a moment, and then said: "I don't dare to disturb the high priest, I just want to find some people."
"Akagata, is there anyone here?"
