Chapter 1256: Mysterious Ritual
At the top of the royal palace in Bansai, the High Priest Lebang wore a gray-black robe, he wore a serpentine hood on his head, and his fingers were scepters, and in front of him he was ten people, one of whom was Daili.
Deli struggled to escape, but her struggles were to no avail.
Lebang held the scepter high in the sky, the clear sky had changed color, and a book of black bark had risen, it was the book of life and death.
"Teacher, you wanted to seal this book at the beginning, but now, I will prove it...... The meaning of the existence of this book!" Lebang said, his makeup is very thick, and the eye shadow is the "dark eye" used during the sacrifice, and the legend is that the dark eye can look at the undead, whether he has seen it or not, no one knows.
Around the altar were a large number of guards, shirtless on their upper bodies and only wrapped in armor plates, holding sacrificial spears, wearing dove's tail feathers, and their faces painted with battle stripes, all of them looking ahead with dull eyes.
"Woo......" Dairi was in pain, she didn't know that she would be here, but when she appeared here, she could no longer break free, break free from all the shackles here.
Puff puff......
Suddenly, the brazier on the altar lit on its own, and the flames were not the usual red, but patches of blue.
It was a flame that belonged to the Netherworld...... Full of death and sorrow.
"O Sun God...... Please accept my sacrifice and be born again in this flame!" Lebang raised his hands, and the blue flames around him burst out like dozens of pillars of fire.
And at this time, the people who were tied to the pillars struggled one after another, they were in pain, and these people were all women, the most beautiful women in the entire Golden Amber Country, and legend has it that the sun god was a happy person, and his sacrifice was only accepted as a beauty.
Daili's appearance is also one of the best in the Golden Amber Kingdom, so she is also one of the targets of the sacrifice.
The only difference is that the eyes of the other women have dimmed, they have lost hope in life, they have almost despaired of survival, they don't want to live anymore.
And Dai Li still has thoughts in her heart, she wants to come out, she wants to find Li Hugo, because Li Hugo has just said that she is his woman.
The happy life has not had time to begin, and it is about to end, you can imagine how desperate Dai Li must be at this moment, she is not only desperate, she also hates.
"Lebang, after the sacrifice is over, this king will be able to receive eternal life?" The Pharaoh, who was sitting on the throne in the distance, looked at this scene, his face was very bad, and the dark circles under his eyes were as heavy as if they had been painted with ink.
Lebang looked back with a smile, and he said respectfully: "My Majesty, after this ceremony is completed, you will be able to have eternal life, and you will be bathed in the eternal light of the gods just like the sun god!"
"Okay, then hurry up, I'...... I can't wait. Pharaoh said.
There is a huge iron basin in the middle of the whole altar, and the iron plate looks like a big tripod from a distance, and there is a human face on all sides of the tripod, but it is not a human face, because the fangs on this face are turned out like wild boar teeth, and it looks quite terrifying.
In the middle of the Great Ding, there is a mummy, the mummy is the body of an adult man, the mummy is very high, and he must have been a very burly young man before his death.
Next to the mummy is a clay pot with internal organs, which is also the way the Golden Amber Kingdom makes mummies, the corpses of ordinary people, maybe just dried and then swept deep into the ground with grass sweeps, but the nobles are different, they will be very elaborate after death, people will use melted pine resin to coat the face to protect the facial image and prevent it from drying too quickly.
After that, the experienced master will use a special chisel to stuff the left nostril into the nostril, mash the ethmoid bone, then use a tool to rotate the brain in the skull to destroy the cerebral marrow, use a very thin long-handled spoon to pierce the brain from the nostril to scoop out the brain pulp, and finally stuff some medicines and spices into the empty skull.
After completing the production of the head, the next step is the abdomen, the master will make an opening on the left side of the deceased's abdomen, take out the stomach, intestines, liver, and lungs, and then clean the internal organs and organs with palm wine and herbs, soak the stomach, intestines, liver, and lungs in bubble soda respectively, and then treat them with hot resin, wrap them with cloth tape, and put them in four separately placed jars.
So in this way, a complete corpse has been prepared, and then dehydrated, and dehydration is a very important drying procedure, you must first fill in the bubble soda and other temporary fillers wrapped in cloth, and then put it in the dry bubble soda powder for about a month, after absorbing the water, take out the filler inside, and replace it with a cloth bag filled with crushed myrrh, cinnamon, bubble soda, sawdust, etc., and finally sew the incision.
Before wrapping the mummy in linen, in order to maintain its flexibility, the mummy's skin was selectively coated with orema, wine, spices, beeswax, The mixture of pine resin and asphalt gives beauty to the skin, and here we have to talk about the mummy of the nobility, because the mummy of the nobility is only filled with flax and stone, but the royal family or monks, people with golden eyes, after they are buried, the craftsman will add steps, that is, to use the porcelain eyeballs fired by hand, and put them into the eye sockets of the mummy, so that the face of the mummy will be more vivid and vivid.
Finally, there is the package, and the priests will send the deceased away with a spell of the dead, and only after everything is prepared will they be buried.
And the mummy in front of him is obviously a person of noble status.
"Ahh
A woman let out a scream, only to see that her body quickly dried up, and her eyes flowed out of a black asphalt-like substance, which turned out to be a beauty, but at this time it gradually withered, and finally her hair began to turn white with the naked eye, and then the whole person quickly changed from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl to a seventy or eighty-year-old woman.
As the body dried up, the black liquid that flowed out of his eyes crawled towards the Sacrifice Dading as if it was alive, and then burrowed into the mummy's mouth.
Dai Li was terrified, because just a moment ago, she saw the mummy's body suddenly ...... Moved!
"Woooooooo
The people around the altar believed it to be a sacred ritual and fell on their stomachs with their hands crossed over their chests and their foreheads on the ground as if they were a human-shaped arched bridge.
Suddenly, the second woman's body also began to wither, and a large amount of black liquid flowed out of his seven orifices, absorbed by the dried corpse in the great ding......
