Chapter 70: Rites (2)

The sacrifice was somewhat bizarre, not like the usual pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, etc., but an animal with a head nearly half a meter wide, an unknown green grass covered with water droplets, and a bow and arrow.

After looking at the altar, what were those women still stirring in the cauldron, Lin Qi couldn't help but wonder, could there be any sacrifices?

After a while, the question was answered, and I saw six men walking towards me with a plate of things.

When they came to the front, several people first bent their waists, "Sacrifice, please eat!" Then one by one they went into the hut and presented the grandmother with the contents of the wooden tray. One of them placed a black and shiny soup in a black wooden bowl on a wooden plate beside Lin Qi's lap, and then lowered his head and followed the others to leave respectfully.

Lin Qi's brows furrowed imperceptibly, this appearance was really ugly, and there was an extremely strong fishy smell that went straight into his nose.

I saw the grandmother in the middle stretch out her withered and wrinkled hands, hold the bowl, hand it to her lips and drink it all.

Terrible! It's a big guy! Lin Qi admired in his heart.

But then it was their turn, followed by the woman next to them, picked up the bowl, and with the cover of the hood, Lin Qi closed his eyes, closed his breath, drank it in one gulp, and swallowed it directly into his stomach before he could taste anything, and then put down the bowl without changing his face.

It should have seen them drink that thing, the people waiting in front of the altar began to move behind the altar in an orderly manner, Lin Qi's vision was blocked, and he couldn't see what those people were doing, but he could still guess that it should be to drink what he had just drunk.

By the time they returned to the altar, it was already dark, and a bonfire had been lit on the ground in front of the altar, and the crowd circled around the fire in several circles.

There was a leader in the innermost part, that is, the man who had led Lin Qi and them to the grass hut before, holding a slender branch in his hand, about two meters long, with several slender red cloth strips tied at the top, directing the circle of people outside to turn left and right.

Lin Qi almost couldn't feel the existence of his legs at this time, and he had been maintaining this cross-legged posture since the afternoon. I wanted to borrow urine to escape, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the other eight people, including my grandmother move once, thinking that there might be some rules, so Lin Qi didn't dare to act rashly, and sat here for nearly 4 hours.

The round moon hung in the sky, and the atmosphere of the crowd below was still enthusiastic.

The leading man walked through the crowd and came to the grass hut, and respectfully said to the grandmother in the middle, "High priest, all ready!" ”

The grandmother's black robe moved slightly, stood up, nodded to the man, and walked towards the altar.

Seeing this, Lin Qi hurriedly stood up with the others, I'll go! It's so sour and soft, I can't imagine it! Lin Qi endured the discomfort, straightened his back, and followed behind everyone.

When he came to the altar, Lin Qi found that in front of the giant tripod was an empty and faint scene that was shaking, which seemed to be another space.

Hiding the surprise in his eyes, he stood aside in silence. Seeing that her grandmother was holding a cane, she walked to Juding, stretched out her right hand, and out of thin air, a qi blade cut through her dry palm, and a few drops of dark red blood dripped into Juding, Grandmother withdrew her palm and began to chant Lin Qi's indecipherable incantation.

As the incantation was pronounced, the crowd beneath the altar began to stop, kneeling on the ground, prostrating and reverent.

Lin Qi saw that the other sacrifices did not move, but just stood silently behind his grandmother, so he carefully observed the swaying space above the giant ding.

The space was not large, but it was only half a meter in diameter and the circle swayed like a wave, and its color was grayish-white, but it was about the same color as the moon in the sky.

Suddenly, the sound of Grandmother's incantation increased, and the space shook more intensely, as if something was about to break through the wall.

"Seven, suppress it!" The woman who had reminded her before spoke up, but before Lin Qi could ask clearly, the woman directly closed her eyes and recited the incantation.

??? So, how do I pronounce? Lin Qi was confused, there was no record of this spell in his memory, and besides, you pronounce it neatly, I can't hear any of it clearly!

Lin Qi's mouth is faster than his brain, anyway, he reads his own, so move his mouth, and if he doesn't make a sound, he will have it!

With the addition of nine people, oh no, it was eight people, and the space shook even more violently, and Lin Qi stared at it tightly, for fear of missing something.

I don't know if it's because of Lin Qi, an impostor, it hasn't changed for a long time.

Grandmother stretched out her palm again, the palm that had been scratched before had already healed, and after being cut again, it dripped into the blood into the giant ding, and before the grandmother could withdraw her hand, a black gas visible to the naked eye rushed straight into the space from the ding.

"Array!" As the grandmother shouted in a hoarse voice, the priests quickly gathered in a circle around the giant ding, and sat down cross-legged.

Lin Qi was flustered, but he still kept up with the rhythm.

"Sacrifice the spirit, out!" With the number one two... Waiting for others to shout, Lin Qi stretched out his left hand, raised his index and middle fingers, and shot into space, while his right hand slapped hard to the ground.

Lin Qi could feel a stream of air seeping into his body from the earth, and then shot into the space along his left hand.

I don't know if this is preventing Dongzi from coming out or waking up something, but it all makes Lin Qi feel excited.

Grandmother didn't know what was written on the void with her hands in front of Juding, and the cane stood beside her autonomously, "Go! With a loud shout, a golden light hit the space.

Grandmother didn't stop, still chanting obscure incantations in her mouth.

The people under the altar still bowed quietly on the ground, their heads against the ground, reverent, and respectful. The only sound of grandmother's incantation could be heard.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, a sudden gust of wind blew, and the flags around the altar were blown "rubbing", Lin Qi's robe was close to his body, feeling the strange chill of the wind, Lin Qi couldn't help but be a little worried, feeling that something was going to happen.

Sure enough, no one noticed a dark cloud obscuring the bright moon in the sky, and the space struggled to shake more and more violently, and finally shattered silently as if overwhelmed.

Then appeared a fiery red claw, the tips of the four black claws flashed with cold light, long and sharp.

Grandmother's movements were a little flustered, and she picked up her crutches and swung them at the claw, but the speed was too slow, and she saw that the claw kicked forward, and a wave of air struck, knocking her to the ground, and at the same time, the other priests in front of the space and the crowd kneeling under the altar were injured.

With this blow, the originally quiet venue suddenly became noisy, and people cried, ran, and scattered. The leader's loud shouts could not stop the commotion.

Lin Qi sat on the side, out of the attack range, avoiding this catastrophe. She wanted to stand up, but seeing that the other sacrifices did not move and remained in their original posture, she also restrained herself and stared at the space.
