Dazai Qianyuan Chapter 8 Altar

Walking out of the door, Hua Xi saw the person standing at the door clearly.

"Brother Honghao. ”

Seeing the door open, looking at the figure walking out, Hong Hao grinned, "Brother Huaxi, we meet again." ”

When Hua Xi heard the sound, he looked at Hong Hao, who was still a little bruised on his arm, and his face was stunned, because the clothes on Hong Hao's body were almost exactly the same as him.

It's just that the last time Hua Xi saw Hong Hao for the first time, he happened to be knocked to the ground by the Timber Wolf King, and his face was covered with dust, and now he looked carefully and found that Hong Hao didn't seem to be as old as Hua Xi thought, about the age of his early thirties, with a slightly vicissitudes of life, dark and shiny, and his eyes were bright, but he looked a little young and vigorous.

"Uh...... Brother Honghao, let's go quickly. ”

The corners of Hua Xi's mouth twitched, and he said, maybe because he is from the mountains and seas, such a costume is indeed a little incomprehensible for a while.

"Haha, Brother Huaxi doesn't seem to be very satisfied with this dress. Hong Hao smiled, and then said, "Don't think about it, let's go quickly." ”

Hearing this, looking at the grinning Hong Hao, Hua Xi nodded awkwardly, and then followed behind Hong Hao to the mysterious sacrificial altar.

The altar, a place of savage sacrifice, is located in the western part of the Sui tribe, aiming to perceive the realm of communication between man and god and sympathy, and realize the belief and desire of harmonious coexistence between man and god and heaven and earth.

In the sacrificial process, more than 20 tribes, large and small, must send people to participate, pay tribute, and burn incense to slaughter three animals.

Three animals, that is, pigs, cattle and sheep, take their heads, for the gods, there is a word in the wilderness, three herds reach the sky, three birds reach the earth.

Sacrifice three animals, to bow and salute, the whole process, solemn, meticulous!

Along the way, the original team of the two slowly became larger, and soon, more than 30 representatives of the Sui clan who went to the altar were all counted.

And at this moment, the area around the altar was already full of people, counting the more than 30 people of the Sui clan who had already arrived, Hua Xi quickly glanced at it, and roughly estimated that there were no less than 100 people at the scene!

"Hong Hao, why did you come here. ”

Hearing the shout, Hua Xi and his party turned sideways, it was one, wearing a grass crown, full of white hair, wrinkled face, with a gray and not gray, yellow and non-yellow gown on his shoulders, the entire chest, dark and shiny, as if coated with a layer of oil, and a wooden crutch in his hand, the trouser legs below rolled up to the knees, revealing the hairy calves, and the old man with no shoes on his feet.

"Oh, it's Second Uncle Yi. Hong Hao responded as he walked.

"You kid, do you remember your second uncle?" said the old man in Huajia, touching his beard.

For this old Second Uncle Yi, Hong Hao was obviously a little afraid, shrunk his neck, and then grinned, "Look at what you said, I forgot who it is, and I can't forget that Second Uncle Yi is not." ”

As he spoke, he walked up to the old man in Huajia, stretched out his hands and gently hugged the old man.

Looking at the grinning Hong Hao in front of him, the old man in the sixtieth armor showed a smile on his face, and then glanced at Hua Xi behind Hong Hao.

"Presumably, this little doll is the eldest son of the three elders of the bear clan. The old man said.

"Exactly. Hearing this, Hong Hao turned around and said.

"Yes, yes, it's really a dragon and phoenix among people, and he has a bit of the style of Lao Tzu!"

Hearing this, Hua Xi's heart tightened, could it be that this old man knew his father Hua Tianlei!

Looking at the old man in front of him, Hua Xi, who was full of thoughts for a while, bowed slightly to the old man, and then said, "The seniors know my father?"

Seeing this, the old man glanced at Hong Hao beside him, Hong Hao hurriedly let go, and then the old man took two steps forward, walked to Hua Xi's side, raised his calloused right hand, and immediately grabbed Hua Xi's hand.

Raising his hand holding Hua Xi, his eyes flashed, and he said, "I've seen two sides, but I don't know each other." Then the old man let go and looked up at Hua Xi, "However, your father came to my Shennong as a guest." ”

"Visiting ......"

Hearing the old man's answer, Hua Xi, who was confused, muttered softly, because Hua Tianlei had never told Hua Xi that he still had an old relationship with the Shennong clan.

Looking at Hua Xi, who was full of doubts, the old man spoke again, "Let's prepare the sacrificial ceremony with Hong Hao first, there are some things, since your father didn't tell you, my old guy won't say much." ”

After speaking, the old man turned around and led the group of Shennong clan to the side of the altar with a big tripod painted on it.

Seeing the back of the old man leaving, Hua Xi's little face suddenly appeared with an indescribable look.

Soon after the old man left, Hong Hao also beckoned the people of the Sui clan to walk towards the altar.

Behind everyone, Hua Xi, who couldn't think of any eyebrows, shook his head a little swollen, took a long breath, and walked towards the altar.

Walking near the altar, Hua Xi saw the so-called altar clearly.

The altar is a circular building composed of earth-colored stone materials, estimated to be the size of half an acre of fertile land, divided into three layers, from bottom to top, there are eight ways for people to walk up the stairs of the first altar, after going up, there are many altars around which sacrifices can be placed.

The staircase leading to the second altar has only four paths, and the style is similar to that of the first level.

Finally, on the top floor of the altar, there are two stairs for people to pass through, and there is only a circular altar on the top floor.

Just when Hua Xi sighed for this great building, more than 20 tribes of the wilderness had all arrived.

With the arrival of the last tribe, the scene, which was still a little noisy, instantly quieted down, and then the old man surnamed Yi, who had talked to Hua Xi before, walked to the top of the altar step by step with a cane.

Walking to the top floor, the old man slowly turned around, slowly glanced around, and then faced east, waiting for the right time.

It didn't take long, and after about a stick of incense, the old man's slightly narrowed eyelids suddenly raised, he took a deep breath, and immediately shouted, "The time is here, perform the sacrificial ceremony!"

At this time, the sun rises from the east, all things recover, and the sacrificial rites can be carried out.

Under the altar, the major tribes moved when they heard the sound, dancing and singing one after another, twisting their bodies.

The Sui tribe, more than 30 people, even raised the divine fire in their hands, formed a ring, and danced the divine fire in their hands.

Seeing this, Hua Xi hurriedly imitated the appearance of everyone, waving his arms, very happy, although he felt very funny, but seeing so many people together, just in an instant, Hua Xi's young fiery heart was mobilized.

Dancing the divine fire in his hand, Hua Xi slowly recalled the memory of his previous life, a secret that no one knew.

He came from a blue planet called Earth, because of a sudden epidemic, he fell ill, and in the end, he died due to ineffective rescue.

When I opened my eyes again, many memories were already very vague, and there were only a handful of memory fragments that I could vaguely remember.

At the moment when Huaxi was in a trance, the people who were dancing and singing also slowly stopped their movements, and immediately lined up, went to the altar in turn, and put the sacrifices they brought on the altar on the altar.

After placing the offerings, he faced east, raised his head, closed his eyes, raised his hands, and chanted an incomprehensible language.

However, even if he couldn't understand what they were saying, Hua Xi still probably guessed that it was eight or nine or ten, and the general meaning should be to beg the gods for blessing, the wind and rain are smooth, and there will be a good harvest.

In fact, just as Hua Xi expected, because of the two people who wanted to go to the altar of the Sui clan, one of them was him.

Looking at the Sui clansmen around him who pushed him to the stage, Hua Xi hurriedly asked Hong Hao for help, but Hong Hao was obviously also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, because the other person was him.

Seeing this, knowing that he couldn't escape today, he smiled awkwardly at Hong Hao, and walked towards the altar with his divine fire and the sacrifices of the Sui clan.

The sacrifice of the Sui, a cow's head wrapped in a red cloth, was placed on a wooden table at the front of the Sui.

"Brother Honghao, this bull head ......"

Hearing Hua Xi's inquiry, Hong Hao smiled at Hua Xi, "Brother Hua Xi, you and I are really fated, I can be the head of this cow alone, you just follow me." ”

Glancing at Hong Hao gratefully, Hua Xi followed closely behind Hong Hao, it's not that Hua Xi can't hold the cow head, it's just that Hua Xi saw before that everyone who brought sacrifices to the stage had to look up to the sky and pray for blessings, and he wouldn't do this blessing at all, if it was messed up, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In this way, Hong Hao was in front, Hua Xi followed, and the two of them walked on the altar on behalf of the Sui clan.

However, just as Hua Xi followed Hong Hao to the first step to the altar, suddenly a huge force suddenly struck around him, enveloping Hua Xi's whole body, as if to stop him from moving forward.

"Calm your mind, hold your body, and don't stand in the way of your ways. ”

Hong Hao, who was in front, seemed to have known about this scene for a long time, and whispered to Hua Xi behind him.

When Hua Xi heard this, the true yuan that had just erupted was instantly pressed back to the dantian.

After retracting the true yuan, the strong force wrapped the whole body again, and instantly felt that it was difficult to even get up on his feet, and he walked on the altar in vain.

"This altar...... It's not easy!"

Feeling the oppression brought by that huge force, Hua Xi muttered softly.

"Feel the power of the altar with your heart, otherwise, you won't even be able to go up to the first layer, and the sacrifices of the Sui clan will be placed on the top floor. ”

Hong Hao's voice came again, and Hua Xi's eyelids jumped, "Top layer!"

If you don't use Zhenyuan, let alone the top layer, it's good to be able to go halfway, and even if you use Zhenyuan, with Huaxi's current strength, he knows very well that he can go to the first layer of the altar at most.

"Feel ...... with your heart"

Whispering this, Hua Xi remembered Maisui's words, you must have a heart that reveres the gods, and you will be blessed by the gods.

"Is it ......?"

When he opened his eyes, the essence flashed in his eyes, and he immediately took a deep breath, solemnized his little face, and held the divine fire in his hand tightly with his little hand.

At the moment when Hua Xi clenched the divine fire in his hand, the surrounding sense of oppression suddenly decreased dramatically.

Feeling the change in the strength of his body, even Hua Xi, who was the party concerned, was stunned on the spot.

"This altar really has a famous hall, but it's ......"

The corners of his mouth crossed a faint arc, Hua Xi looked at the altar again, the difference was that this time Hua Xi's gaze was no longer reverent, with a childish little face, but a strong battle intent emerged!
