Chapter 112: Start work
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was just bright, and the people who had just carnivaled for most of the night last night got up early and took out their new clothes that they were usually reluctant to wear, and even the most down-and-out homeless people sewed the openings on their clothes overnight, because today is a very important day in Qingfeng Town, and the casting ceremony will be held today, which represents the new life of Qingfeng Town, and also represents the beginning of their new life.
Liu Lei also wore a costume symbolizing nobility for the first time.
When the morning sun is just rising above the horizon.
The dull beat of drums resounded in Breeze Town.
Knock, knock
The nine-tone drum, which symbolizes the highest etiquette, is struck nine times in a row, each time faster than the other.
The muffled sound of the snare drum used to fill the number seems to wake up the whole world under the morning light.
The sound of drums, in any civilization, was the earliest representative of the sound that could communicate with the gods of heaven and earth.
As soon as the drums fell, nine old men in red robes stood up, picked up horns made of horns, and blew them.
The whining sound spread throughout the nearby mountains and forests, suppressing all the noisy sounds in the world, as if telling the heavens and the earth about the hardships and hardships of human struggle.
The temporary high platform on the school field is ten meters high, Master Wang is wearing a red robe, and slowly walks up to the high platform under the gaze of everyone, and there are cow heads, horse heads, and pig heads on the table of the high platform, and Master Wang picks up a pillar of incense and lights it gently.
Then he glanced back at the people who were watching him below, and said in a deep voice: "The sacrificial ceremony, starting now, uphold the will of heaven and earth, thank you for the grace of all things, and make sacrifices."
As soon as the voice fell on the high platform, the nine old men under the platform repeated in unison, they had never been in contact with such a battle, and they could obviously see that they were very nervous, but fortunately, there was no mistake.
Four carefully selected and very strong soldiers, all four of whom were naked, carrying runes of unknown meaning on their chests and backs, and wearing red strips of cloth on their heads, carried the tribute platform slowly.
As for the tribute platform, it is naturally a bear that is the protagonist of today's sacrifice tribute!
Seeing the 'bear' on the tribute platform, Liu Lei resisted the urge to laugh, and looked back at Xiong Da, who was hiding far away and licking his paws with a look of grievance. Liu Lei naturally wouldn't use Xiong Da as a sacrifice, and the bear on the tribute platform was a temporary idea he came up with, made of straw. Of course, although it is perfunctory, but the face work must be done in place, who knows when it comes to sacrifice? Will God come over, a thunderbolt slashed Liu Lei, a shameless guy, after the straw was braided, Liu Lei deliberately took some bear-sized blood, smeared it on it, and cut some bear hair and put it on it, God didn't give face Liu Lei didn't know, but at least he was comfortable.
Master Wang, who was the main sacrifice, looked at the sacrifice like a joke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he rolled his eyes at Liu Lei in the audience, anyway, it wasn't his family's business, he just helped out, so he endured it. As for whether God will bless Qingfeng Town after the sacrifice, it has nothing to do with him.
The sacrifice was raised on the high platform, and Master Wang picked up a torch from the side to light it, in fact, if it was a formal procedure, the sacrifice was to take out the blood and sprinkle it on the high platform, cut the remaining parts into pieces, and give it to the people below to eat, in order to represent the reward of heaven and earth, but there is Liu Lei, the master of the door, there is no way, everything can only be simplified, in Liu Lei's words last night, it is just to deal with the meaning.
After the whole sacrifice was finished, Master Wang recited a long prayer, and then reached the most important part of the whole ceremony, that is, breaking the ground, and Liu Lei dug up the first shovel of soil to symbolize the start of construction.
According to Liu Lei's assumption, the completed city wall is 15 meters high, so the foundation must be very strong, after Liu Lei started the first birth, all the remaining people will dig a 300-meter-long, 10-meter-deep and 10-meter-wide foundation in front of the valley of Qingfeng Town, this team has no large machinery Qingfeng Town, it is still a rather large project, according to Liu Lei's calculations, even if the people of the Mixed Yuan Continent have a physique and strength far beyond the earthlings, but all the young adults have to dig together for a few months, Fortunately, during this time, there will be more and more displaced people arriving one after another, and there will be more and more labor in the future.
Liu Lei exhaled lightly, picked up the shovel with a red cloth tied at his feet and carried it on his shoulder, turned around and took it, all the craftsmen walked outside, and deliberately took them to the front of the Yingling Monument first, and circled around the Yingling Monument three times, Liu Lei specially explained to everyone that this is so that all the soldiers who sacrificed for Qingfeng Town can see the efforts of the descendants of Qingfeng Town.
The group walked out of the improvised fence and stopped at the place that had been demarcated a long time ago, Liu Lei touched it from the hand of a person next to him, and as a result, a bowl of wine fell to the ground.
Thundered! Thundered!
At this moment, suddenly a few loud noises came, and everyone who didn't know why Qingfeng Zhen was so frightened that they hugged their heads and squatted on the ground, and many people raised their heads and looked at the sky deliberately, there was not a single cloud, could it really be that God was angry!
Liu Lei, who had been prepared for a long time, looked at Li Tianlong and others, saw the embarrassed appearance of everyone, laughed, and then hurriedly explained to everyone, making a sound is naturally tears, gunpowder has been invented some time ago, in order to be able to strengthen the momentum, Liu Lei deliberately let the thief cottage send over a little overnight and put a cannon battle.
