Chapter 3: The Mysterious Nation

Legend has it that there is a peculiar ethnic group in the ancient East, called the Buyi royal family, the people of this ethnic group live in the wilderness all the year round, rarely show their heads, they especially like to live in isolation, and do not step out of the mountain village for many years.

This nation has a "strict" custom, that is, absolute order, to put it in layman's terms, a complete tendon.

A tendon may be a derogatory term, but a large number of people with a tendon is a terrible thing. This is a very combative nation, and for thousands of years, sacrifice has become a natural obligation. There are no ceremonies, no memorials, and not even praise after the sacrifice, because these are considered ordinary acts.

The cloth royal family also has a characteristic, that is, absolute obedience. As a simple example, there are 100 tribesmen who go up the mountain to hunt collectively, walking on a narrow mountain road, and the leader is often an elderly leader of a certain road (the Buyi royal family is divided into nine roads, each of which has about 3,000 people), he walks very slowly, and the last person is the fastest young man, which causes a consequence, the front majority moves slowly, and the back few people desperately rush forward, what is the final result?

Many of them were squeezed to the point of falling off a cliff and dying in this way!

Even so, no one would raise any objection to this rule, and according to our understanding, there should be opposition to such an unreasonable system, which is not at all! If this does not happen, it will make the people feel abnormal.

This is the royal family of cloth.

Most of the time, they exist only by word of mouth, and no one can affirm their existence, and no one can deny their existence, because no one has ever been able to really touch them.

However, they have a complete set of systematic Buyi royal scripts, although they are different from any kind of writing in contemporary society, but there are still some archaeological experts who have accidentally discovered these written records, gold inscriptions, etc., and some experts have gradually deciphered some contents after years of research.

Much evidence points to the existence of this people.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Today is the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is a strange festival going on in the Buyi royal family.

According to the law, each family of the Nine Dao tribes in the clan must take turns to contribute ten members to worship the moon god every year, adults or infants, regardless of gender, these people will resolutely and resolutely water the sacred mountain with their whole lives and all their blood on this fixed night.

There was still no objection to it, because the ritual had been going on for thousands of years, and no one knew its origin, nor what it would entail, and there was no need to know, just do it.

This year, there were 5 members of a family living at the foot of the mountain, an elderly grandfather, two parents, and two brothers and sisters, the elder brother was 8 years old, and the younger sister was 7 years old.

However, at this moment, they were excitedly discussing who would be lucky enough to go to the Sacred Mountain, and the leader of the Nine Daos had allocated the quota to their family last night.

The grandfather insisted that he should be sacrificed, but the father, as the head of the family, did not agree. He thinks that his grandfather is sick and has lost the qualification to worship, and only one of the two brothers and sisters is a suitable candidate.

No one objected, but the final decision had to be made by the steward's father.

Then the father pointed to his sister and said, "Go ahead."

The younger sister nodded, her face showing endless joy, and she happily went to get dressed up, ready to go to Mount Kinabalu to participate in the worship ceremony.

Others were also busy preparing all kinds of ceremonial costumes and the most valuable ornaments for her.

However, they will never know that something will happen tonight on Mount Kinabalu that has not happened in thousands of years.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The sacred mountain is located in the center of the Buyi royal family, at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, and the place where the grand ceremony is held is not at the top of the mountain, but in a temple at an altitude of only about 1,000 meters.

The temple was supposed to be here, and as for why, it wasn't for them to know.

The current chief of the Buyi royal family, Xun, presided over the ceremony, and he asked each of the people who participated in the worship to first cut their wrists with a knife, pour about half a bowl or so of blood into a huge vessel, and find a place to sprinkle it in the temple, and they were still waiting for the next more important moment, which was the moon and the middle of the sky.

Ninety worshippers held copper bowls in their hands and sword handles, waiting for the leader's order, and at the same foreseeable moment, everyone would not hesitate to cut their carotid arteries, so that the red liquid all over their bodies would instantly spray into the copper bowl, and then collected by the sacrificial elders, and in a strange music, go to the designated place to water the sacred mountain.

Two minutes before the moon rises in the sky, something magical happens——

The white full moon suddenly disappeared in an instant!

The clansmen were in a mess all of a sudden, this was a strange thing that had never happened before, even the sacrificial elder, who was nearly two hundred years old, was a little at a loss, and he raised his cane to signal everyone to be quiet.

After a few moments, the moon still hadn't appeared, and the elder turned his inquiring gaze to the still-calm chief.

Before the chief leader Xun could answer, something even more bizarre happened, and seven dazzling full moons arranged in a straight line appeared in the sky at the same time! In an instant, the sacred mountain was like daylight.

Everyone bowed their heads in worship, trembling all over, not knowing what had happened today, let alone whether it was a calamity or what? The sacrificial elder looked up to the sky and roared, his expression changed from frightened to excited, and from hyperactivity to loud chanting, a voice that only the leader of the royal clan of Buyi could understand.

This is a sign of the awakening of the sacred mountain and the appearance of the demon spirit!

The chief leader, Xun, also shouted, but this time the shout was to lift the people, and the ninety worshippers immediately stood up, knowing that this was the chief's order to sacrifice.

Nearly 100 copper bowls were raised high, singing in unison the kind of Sanskrit sound that shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods, and the sacred mountain lingered; then, hundreds of blood light sprayed, red mist filled, the copper bowl was filled in an instant, these people actually did not fall to the ground, but slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, the death of life naturally has no mercy, but the copper bowl can not fall, it is tightly hugged in front of the chest, not moving at all.

If you were at the scene, you would have to pass out at this point, because the scene was too shocking, too terrifying, far beyond the psychological capacity of ordinary people. The chief leader and the priests were expressionless, as if they had not seen it, they just looked up at the full moon in the sky, and showed a look of worship and obsession.

The seven moons dimmed and slowly drew closer together until they became a black circular object hanging in the blue night sky.

The sacrifice was finally successfully completed-

But it is said that since then, the royal family of Buyi has never seen the moon again.

The Kinabalu Festival can no longer be held.
