Chapter 24: The First Sacrifice (Ask for Collection, Recommend)

The use of barbarians as a sacrifice can only be regarded as an appetizer and a dessert before the meal.

Two days later, in this cave, a real ritual began.

It's just a bit small.

Ugu led the most reliable of his tribesmen, about forty or fifty, dressed in the ancient and heavy costumes of the tribe, to perform a series of specious and solemn ceremonies.

These rituals were cumbersome and lengthy, and in Su Cheng's opinion, they were completely useless, but he also understood that such rituals were essential, especially for a tribal spirit like him.

The major events of the country are in the sacrifice and Rong!

Sacrifice: Sacrifice.

Jung: War.

In ancient times, this "sacrifice" was all-encompassing and extremely important, and later gradually developed into a "ceremony".

That is to say, the construction of the ideological field lies in unifying people's understanding ideologically, standardizing the order, and clearly respecting the inferior, so that the upper and lower levels are orderly and inherited.

For Su Cheng, this useless and lengthy ceremony is precisely to clarify his status, define his height, and play a major role in guiding people's hearts and opening canals.

The collection of beliefs such as worship and worship lies in the history of the tribe, the inheritance of the tribe, the increasing penetration of sacrifices (rituals), and the role and feedback of the spirit on the tribe.

Now that the first two histories and inheritances have been severed, the latter two are extremely important and will be the focus of Su Cheng's future work.

And now, that's just the first step.

By the end of the ceremony, everyone was tired.

As the chief priest, Ugu stood in the position of the witch, and from beginning to end, he was guided by a ridiculous dance and voice.

At first, the atmosphere was still a bit grotesque and absurd, after all, there was a lack of history and inheritance that everyone agreed on, but now, the grotesque and absurd atmosphere has disappeared, solemn and solemn like a burning torch, strong as substance.

Two old men came forward, washed clean and spotless, and knelt under the altar amid the chanting and dancing of prayers.

The ritual utensils were presented in turn and placed in front of the two people, and the two bone knives were raised horizontally by the two people, pasted on their foreheads, and bowed.

Straighten up your upper body and stab yourself in the chest without hesitation!

The blood, like a spring of clear water, flowed into the ritual vessel under him, and in a short time it was filled with an urn, like a wine glass, and was respectfully sent to the altar.

In the stone tripod, a dark luster rippled up, combining into a vague outline of a human body in the void.

The "wine glass" was served, Su Cheng drank it all, and the atmosphere suddenly changed here, and a feeling of blood echoing, closeness, and fit rose in the hearts of all the clansmen.

The faint blood connection, accompanied by the warmth and solidity of the steaming, made Su Cheng frown.

The inhuman sense of déjà vu disappears, the fear recedes forever, and the effect is immediate.

The old man who volunteered to sacrifice was emptied of the blood, but he did not die immediately, but on the contrary, he cut open his stomach vigorously, and the organs were removed by themselves and put into a special ritual vessel.

The ritual is presented again, just like a delicacy is presented to the table, so that there is "wine", there is "meal", and the last "main course" is missing.

Two burly men stepped forward, armed with sharp blades, and sliced open the skull of the sacrificer, and the visible soul phantom floated out from the gap above his head!

Such selfless sacrifice and such thorough dedication rendered the fanatical and solemn atmosphere of the scene with a touch of sacredness.

It was this sacred color that made Su Cheng feel happy for no reason, and "hunger and thirst" struck, and he raised his "knife and fork" and began to enjoy the feast.

First comes the "wine", then the food, and finally the feast for the soul.

This harvest is far more than two days ago, and Su Cheng's body is a little richer.

However, just as he was about to feast on two souls floating in front of him!

Warning signs are emerging.

Wrong!

After the "self-examination", he was covered in a "cold sweat".

Emotional and cognitive areas are changed slightly.

Compared to the backup at the core of consciousness, the change is only one in a thousand.

But it did not cause him any discomfort and resistance, which can be described as moisturizing things silently, which shows the power of this change.

What to do?

Do you refuse?

Sensing Su Cheng's hesitation, the movements of the Wuguna Dancing God also panicked, the invisible connection influenced and fed back to each other, and the confusion of the clansmen below disrupted the rhythm of the ceremony, and the fanatical, solemn, and sacred atmosphere added a trace of uncertain changes.

Su Cheng immediately sensed it and sighed in his heart.

What you gain, you have to lose.

It is impossible to pay at all, to change at all.

After enjoying the tribe's sacrifices and blood food, you have to assume the corresponding responsibilities and contacts, it is impossible not to admit the account after eating and wiping, all Su Cheng can do is stick to the bottom.

Fortunately, such a change does not matter, as for the future, he still has a supplement that can seek reality, with another source of energy, to counteract.

The sacrificial soul absorbed the entrance, Su Cheng's whole body immediately rippled, the ritual continued, Wugu's dance movements returned to smoothness, the uncertain changes disappeared immediately, the doubts of the clansmen were suddenly dispelled, and everything was back on track.

Finally, Ugu declared in the ancient language of the tribe: The sacrificer has merged with the ancestor spirit and will always protect the clan and blood relatives!

I see!

Su Cheng tasted the part of himself that he had changed, and found that he inexplicably had a trace of concern for the two families, a total of more than a dozen strangers who had never met.

It's called Guardian!

It's a world away from swallowing two days ago.

There is no need for Shi Ding's transformation, and the effect is indeed ten times that of the former.

Not only that, after the ceremony, dozens of clansmen at the scene, more than a dozen connections did not disappear, but were fixed.

From these connections, Su Cheng vaguely sensed their orientation, thoughts, and emotions.

From these connections, he also felt bits and pieces of warm particles transmitting through, like misty water vapor, "watering" himself.

This is the sacrifice, this is the offering, this is the spirit of the tribe!

Su Cheng understood a lot, so he sighed infinitely.

…………

Eventually, the hustle and bustle cleared, leaving Ugu alone in the cave.

An abstract eye-like banner unfurled in front of Su Cheng.

Totem!

It is possible to temporarily accommodate his residence.

Su Cheng poured down with satisfaction and immersed himself in this flag.

It feels "narrower" than Shi Ding, but the effect is the same.

At the same time, because of this banner, to be precise, because of the runes on this banner, he mastered his first ability as a spirit.

Eye of Disillusionment.
