Chapter 4: The Mysterious Events at the Spring Festival

In the background of all the clansmen wearing ceremonial clothes, the wizard costumes of Fat Witch and Tang Ge are particularly conspicuous. Shao Lei saw the fat witch and the boy beside him from a distance.

Shao Lei's heart beat faster and faster, and he knew that the chubby rich woman was the aunt he had always heard of but never seen, a great wizard who still had her story to this day. And the boy next to her who was dressed in the same costume as her didn't know who it was. Although he had never heard of it, he vaguely felt that this young man was definitely not simple.

And Tang Ge, looking at the young man who was wearing the same clothes as him, with the same pattern painted on his face, and walking slowly, the corners of his mouth pulled out a playful smile.

On a bright spring afternoon, two teenagers who are also young witches meet. Although they have different views on each other, no one expected that since this ordinary encounter, the fates of the two teenagers who did not know each other at this time would be connected to each other, and in their subsequent lives, countless stories were born between the two.

Shao Lei, who didn't realize that his fate had changed, held the fire in his hand, and finally slowly came to the fat witch. After settling down, Shao Lei sang loudly: "Shao Wu Lei of the Suiren clan, on the order of Jiyang, came to spread the fire!" ”

With a "poof", the fat witch's fat body pushed Jin Shan to kneel down like a jade pillar, his hands on the ground, and his head slammed on the ground with a "bang". With a trembling voice, he roared like a heartbreak: "Suiren Clan's witch Liu Yang! Welcoming the Flame !! ”

"Greetings to the !!!!! of the Sacred Flame" The clansmen, who also knelt on the ground, followed the roar.

Shao Lei put the container that kept the fire in the fat witch's raised hands, and the fat witch got up and walked to the altar in the middle of the tribe with the fire in his arms, and the clansmen followed without saying a word.

On the altar, there is a huge bronze furnace, which was made by the tribe's long-distance expedition and the sword house day and night. The shape is modeled on the shape of the Xuande furnace with three legs and two ears and a round belly, and there is no inscription on the furnace body, but there are ventilation holes, which are specially made for the holy fire sacrifice.

The bronze furnace had been laid with fuel, and the fat witch came to the bronze furnace, tilted the container containing the fire gently, and a flame slipped from the container, and the bronze furnace suddenly burst into flames.

The moment the flame ignited, the fat witch burst into tears, choked and roared, "Ancestor worship begins!! ”

The majestic drum sounded, like a heartbeat, and the heavy beating on the hearts of the clansmen, accompanied by the whimpering Tao Xun and the sharp bone flute, which made people feel excited.

Tang Ge knelt on the ground with the clansmen, the surging music and the irrepressible choking of the clansmen made his blood fill his head, and his chest felt as if something was blocked, and he couldn't wait to yell and vent the depressed breath.

The fat witch frantically walked on the witch steps, and threw all kinds of sacrifices into the furnace, including silk linen, salt food, animal skins and bones, and even a handful of precious stones, bronze glass, etc. These things were dedicated to the ancestors through the sacred fire, and although they were only symbolic, they were really priceless good things.

Tang Ge originally thought that there would be a sacrifice text at this sacrifice, but after the fat witch burned the sacrifice, he just chanted some strange syllables inexplicably, and his nervousness generally made all kinds of strange movements, tossing for a long time, and the sweat was dripping all over, and he didn't see her stop.

Suddenly, the fat witch looked stunned, then his eyes widened, and he screamed at the throat: "The ancestor has arrived!" Greeting the Ancestors!! ”

Tang Ge's heart moved, he looked up and looked around, and found that the weather that was originally a sunny day suddenly had a layer of black fog, lingering everywhere among the tribes. At the beginning, when the black fog was still very light, Tang Ge didn't think it was wrong, but as the fog became heavier and heavier, Tang Ge found that this black fog only appeared in the Banpo Dolphin Tribe, and through the fog, he could see that the world was still clear outside, and outside the tribe, there was not even a trace of fog!!

"Welcoming the Ancestors!!"

The tribesmen grabbed the ground with their heads and cried out in unison.

Ancestors and totems are the things that the clansmen crave the most, without these two things, the clansmen are rootless duckweed, the whole person is empty, and even feel that anything they do is meaningless. Now, after twenty years of longing, they finally look forward to this day, the favor of the ancestors and the holy light of the totem that they longed for finally appeared, and at this moment, they had to feel that they had been recognized and found the meaning of their existence, and the black fog that shrouded the entire tribe also fully proved that they had never been abandoned by their ancestors.

"Impossible! How so! Tang Ge trembled with excitement, and his blood was boiling. He looked at the black mist around him in disbelief, feeling the intimacy that came from the depths of his blood.

"How so! This is so unscientific! Tang Ge's cold hair stood on end, goosebumps all over his body rose, he was trembling, and even tears welled up in his eyes, but all this was not due to fear, but from the depths of his body's blood, the most primitive natural reaction that was not under his control.

"That's not right! That's impossible!!! Tang Ge was dumbfounded, but he could only keep shouting in his heart, everything in front of him was completely beyond his cognition, and he couldn't find any reasonable explanation to explain this matter.

All the tribesmen, whether they were Banpo dolphins or Zhongzhou, all prostrate on the ground, and they kept bowing to the holy fire, their expressions were proud, sentimental, or heroic, but none of them were afraid or ashamed. Because they have never been worthy of their ancestors, they are confident that they are absolutely qualified to live in the glory of their ancestors.

The black fog came and went quickly, disappearing in just a few minutes, as if it had never existed.

During the whole process, Tang Ge was carefully observing the surroundings. He was sure that the black fog did only exist in the Banpo dolphin, because through the fog, he could see that it had been a sunny afternoon outside the tribe, and there was no wind at this time, and the black fog that enveloped the entire Banpo dolphin appeared inexplicably, and disappeared inexplicably, with no way to come and nowhere to go.

Tang Ge made countless assumptions, but he couldn't explain what happened in just a few minutes. Even, for a short period of time, Tang Ge once suspected that all this was the fat witch pretending to be a ghost, but he soon vetoed this idea, because he was sure that the fat witch did not have this ability, and the kind of blood boiling all over the body, the throbbing from the depths of the blood could not be faked. In the end, he could only temporarily classify all this as an "unexplained mysterious event", and as for a reasonable explanation, he needed to ask Fat Witch first.

After the black fog dissipated, the fat witch stood up proudly, stood in front of the holy flame and announced loudly: "From today onwards, the Banpo dolphin will return to the holy fire totem!" The favor of our ancestors will always be with us!! ”

"Roaring !!" The clansmen cheered excitedly.

"The sacrifice is over! It's all gone! Although there were tears on his face, the fat witch still smiled like a flower.

"Long live the Ancestors!" After cheering in unison, the clansmen dispersed in twos and threes with great excitement, and it seemed that every family was going to celebrate today.

Shao Lei has been staying not far from the fat witch, and at this moment, seeing that the sacrifice is finally over, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet the fat witch, but he didn't expect to open his mouth just now, but was preempted by Tang Ge.

"That's it?" Tang Ge asked in a lost voice. "What just happened? Doesn't anyone think it's weird? ”

The fat witch glanced at Tang Ge meaningfully, and said angrily: "It's just that the spirit of the ancestors has come, what's so strange about this?" ”

Tang Geqi said: "So, you have often encountered this situation before? ”

Fat Wu shook his head: "I've never met it, and it's the first time I've seen it." ”

"Has anyone else ever seen such a situation?" Tang Ge asked.

The Fat Witch shook his head again.

Tang Ge hurriedly said: "Since I haven't seen it before, why don't you think it's strange?" Isn't anyone wondering what the hell is going on? ”

The fat witch said as a matter of course: "What's the matter! Didn't I tell you, it was the spirit of the ancestors who came to see us? Then again, the weirdest thing should be you! Nerve's! ”

When Tang Ge heard this, he suddenly made a sudden realization, pointed at the fat witch and said loudly: "I understand!" You must have done it, right? Tell me, how did you get it? ”

"I'll your grandmother!" The fat witch was furious when he heard this, and he couldn't even care about the taboos in the tribe, and pointed at Tang Ge's nose and scolded: "Little stone! If you dare to say such a thing in front of the Holy Fire Totem, aren't you afraid that the ancestors will blame!? ”

Tang Ge saw that the fat witch really blew up, and while yelling at him, he searched around, as if he was looking for some murder weapon, so he immediately made a decision, and ran away, shouting loudly while running: "Lao Tzu will definitely figure out this matter!" ”

The fat witch didn't find the guy who took advantage of it, so he poked his head hard, and after spitting at Tang Ge fiercely, he pointed at Tang Ge's back and scolded: "Little bastard!" Don't let the old lady catch you! ”

When Fat Wu and Tang Ge communicated, Shao Lei witnessed the whole process. When he figured out what was going on, the whole person was stupid, he didn't expect that the Banpo dolphin he had always been fascinated by, the tribe created by his grandfather and aunt for ideals, the atmosphere would be so ...... So ...... Lively?

After pointing at Tang Ge's back and scolding resentfully, the fat witch cleaned up his mood and looked at Shaolei with a smile.

Shao Lei hurriedly gave a freshly learned bow salute, bowed down and greeted respectfully: "Hello aunt! Shao Lei has seen Aunt Liu Yang. ”

Fat Wu stepped forward, took Shao Lei's hand, and said affectionately: "It's all your own family, don't be so angry." Come, let my aunt see! ”

Shao Lei also smiled, and said to the fat witch with admiration on his face: "I have always heard the story of my aunt since I was a child, but I didn't expect to finally see you until today." ”

The fat witch couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and praised vigorously: "Good boy! What a sensible person! It's much stronger than that bastard of Tang Ge! Walk! Go home with your aunt! After that, the fat witch took Shaolei and walked to his house, and while walking, he asked Shaolei about the parents of the Dushu tribe, and from time to time, there was a burst of cheerful laughter.
