Chapter 169: The Last Rite

Lu Shiye was just about to say something, but was interrupted by the half-dead great wizard who raised his hand and waved it lightly.

"I have, no, and in a short time, I will return to the arms of Mother Earth, and it will be my life's pursuit to be able to serve Mother Earth, and it will soon be realized. ”

Lu Shiye hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the Great Wizard." ”

The half-dead Great Wizard nodded with difficulty: "At the end of my life, you came to my side, this is the will of Mother Earth, Mother Earth must want me to show her strength again in this world, and let the world know her greatness and love." Come, lay him down, and I will wield the power of Mother Earth to give him a new lease of life. ”

Lu Shiye made a pious appearance, took a few steps back, and quietly put Zhao Hong in front of the half-dead great wizard, and then took a few steps back and stood.

The half-dead wizard reached out and pushed the stake beside him, and there were ropes tied to the stake, and many pieces of wood hung from the stake, and when he pushed it gently, these pieces of wood shook and collided with each other, and there was a loud noise.

Wood chips sounded, and immediately someone trotted over, came to the half-dead Great Wizard, leaned down and asked softly, "Great Wizard, is there anything you need me to do?"

The half-dead Great Wizard remained motionless with his eyes closed, and it took a moment before he opened his mouth and whispered a few words in the man's ear.

After hearing this, the man frowned, looked at the "corpse" on the ground, and then turned his head to look at Lu Shiye who was standing aside, before nodding slowly.

"Okay Grand Wizard, I'm going to get the things and let everyone set up the ceremony. ”

After saying that, he left, and before leaving, he glanced back at the half-dead great wizard, looking reluctant, and then sighed softly and turned around and left.

Soon after, all the people who had just been busy outside arrived, carrying many bottles and cans, and boxes, and then some livestock, and finally pushing and shoving ten pregnant women with them.

The pregnant women were very frightened, but they did not resist, and they were powerless to resist, and they pushed them into the clearing, and then someone took out a dagger and killed the woman, and the abdomen was cut open, and blood was spilled on the ground.

They began to slaughter the animals again, and at the same time they began to dye the sand of the ground red with the blood, and poured out the contents of the jars and jars and sprinkled them on the ground.

Some of these things can be seen as charred animal and plant remains, some have been ground into powder or are just small charred black objects that cannot be seen.

These people were arranging the ceremony, and Lu Shiye could also see it, but this time the arrangement was different from what Lu Shiye had seen before.

Curious, Lu Shiye asked the half-dead Great Wizard: "Great Wizard, I have seen you arrange this ceremony in the past, but this time it looks different from usual, and the best products consumed in this ceremony seem to be very much." ”

The half-dead Great Wizard was still curled up there and didn't even open his eyes when he heard Lu Shiye ask, he just nodded slightly, and it could be seen that he was already very weak, and even the small movement of nodding his head was very slow.

"It's really different from the past, this ceremony is very difficult to succeed, you should know this, you can only try your luck when you bring this here. This time the ceremony was different from usual, and I am confident that the success rate of this ceremony will be greatly improved. I don't dare to say that you will succeed, but the probability of failure is very low, and unless you are unlucky, you will not fail. ”

Lu Shiye's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Great wizard, do you mean that there is a way to greatly increase the probability of success?!"

The Great Wizard understood what Lu Shiye meant, and Lu Shiye had taken a fancy to a method that could increase the success rate.

So the half-dead Great Wizard explained to Lu Shiye: "There is indeed a method, but it is not the same as you think, and this cannot be handed over to other people to do." I have to do it, because I have been blessed with devotion to Mother Earth in my life, and I can only use this method once in my life, and it will cost me a great deal to sacrifice my life in this ritual. ”

After listening to the Great Wizard's explanation, Lu Shiye lowered his head, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The Great Wizard smiled slightly: "Anyway, this is the last time I will perform witchcraft, I will use the blessing to sacrifice myself, and I will return to the arms of Mother Earth, and I will not use blessings, and after performing witchcraft, I will also return to the arms of Mother Earth, so I decided to leave the blessings of Mother Earth in this world." ”

"Mother Earth will be very pleased. Lu Shiye said.

"You have to promise me two things, first, never forget all that Mother Earth has given us, we are all her children, and we must respect her and believe in her. ”

Lu Shiye nodded: "I have never forgotten it in the past, and I will not forget it in the future." ”

"Second, take care of these children here, they are all my descendants, they are related to my blood, and I hope that when I die, no one will be able to humiliate them. ”

Lu Shiye hurriedly agreed: "Great wizard rest assured, I can make a promise on behalf of the Lu Shi clan, I will definitely treat them well, I will take them out of here, go to the prosperous place of the Lu Shi clan, choose a safe place for them, let them live safely, there is fertile land to cultivate, you can also fish and graze, everything is up to them, a large number of them are wizards, as long as they want, the Lu Shi clan can support those wizards." ”

"When you say that, I'm relieved. ”

While the two were talking, the ceremony scene had been arranged, and several people came over, came to the great wizard, and carefully lifted the half-dead great wizard to the middle of the arranged ceremony venue.

At this time, the whole field has been stained red with blood, and several fires have been lit around the field, and many strange things are burning in the fires, billowing smoke, emitting a strong and pungent fishy smell.

The Great Wizard opened his eyes, knelt on the ground, opened his arms, looked at the empty front, took a deep breath of smoke around him, and began to chant words and pray to Mother Earth.

The fire around it burned brighter and brighter, but the smell became weaker and weaker, and after a while, the pungent fishy smell completely dissipated.
