Chapter 197: Thirst
The two days passed in a flash, and by the third day, before dawn, the residence of the Ren Wuyue family was already brightly lit. Dressed in short shirts, hakamis, and haori, the clansmen walked out of the house with long swords on their shoulders and gathered in the open space in the middle of the station. In the center of the clearing, there are ancestral spirit tablets.
The Ren Muyue family started as a samurai, and there is no shortage of powerful samurai swordsmen in the process of family continuity, and changing into such clothes is also a kind of respect and remembrance for the ancestors and the family. Everyone was silent, standing quietly in order of generation, except for the slight sound of breathing and the crackling of flames in the entire family.
When the first light appeared in the eastern sky, Orange Light walked out of the main abode in the same costume as everyone else, carrying a long knife and stepping on clogs. As the head of the family, he naturally has to take on the work of the chief priest of today's big sacrifice and preside over the entire process of the sacrifice.
As he walked towards the clearing, young clansmen with ghosts and gods on their faces rushed out of the crowd. They bared their teeth in a menacing expression, opened their mouths and let out a strange roar, drawing their long knives and slashing at the orange light. Of course, this movement was very slow, so slow that Orange Light, who barely had any strength, could easily pull out his long knife to block the long knife they were slashing at him.
Orange Light also has a fierce expression with extremely slow movements, with a roar of rage, very exaggerated defeat of the offending enemies one by one.
Dance is always an indispensable part of the ritual. In ancient times, when there was no language and writing, people used body language to convey ideas and information, accompanied by onomatopoeia in their mouths, and gradually became dance. People not only use dance to send messages, but also use dance to ask for mercy from God. In addition, people gave more value to dance during special periods, which made dance have a sacred meaning in the sacrifice.
There was also a dance in the rituals of the Ren Muyue family, but this dance was not the same dance, and it was a shame for the powerful ancestors to dance to the music with exaggerated movements in front of their clansmen, so the dance was replaced by what it is today—like a stage play. Powerful "enemies" were defeated by Orange Light, and while remembering the great exploits of their ancestors, they also showed the family's martial spirit.
The expression of the Holy Kingdom standing on the side was a little strange, as if he was smiling, and a little surprised, looking at the orange light with a serious face in disbelief. At this moment, he had already "seen" the sky above the orange light, and there was a faint "momentum" looming, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting. You must know that at this moment, in Ren Wuyue's family, in addition to the orange light, only Osuke and another clansman disciple named Hei Ming can gather "potential".
He never thought that something that even an inheritor like Blue Wind didn't have would actually appear on Orange Light's body. Doesn't that mean ......, as long as Orange Light works hard, he can also practice powerful swordsmanship? But why didn't you find it usually?
The eyes of the Holy Kingdom shifted from the body of the orange light to the tablets of those ancestors, perhaps the "potential" behind the orange light has something to do with this sacrifice. The power of the ancestors traveled through time and space and acted on him. As soon as he thought of this, the Holy Kingdom faintly felt very interesting.
The interesting part is that this world is not as simple as people seem, and there must be many unsolved secrets!
When Orange Light had defeated all his enemies, he raised his knife and cut a cut in his arm. He walked to the middle position, and with his blood-covered arm, he wiped a unique ancestral spirit tablet, an ancestral spirit tablet carved from black stone. This spirit card is no one else's, it is the spirit card of the first generation of the Ren Wuyue family, Ren Wuyue slashing Honglang.
It is said that there is also a small story in this, after the death of Ren Wuyue, his descendants, who are also the ancestors of Ren Wuyue's family, carved a spirit tablet for him with the most precious wood, ground it into powder and glue with gold, and mixed it together, and filled him with lacquer. But after one night, the wooden spirit tablet turned into a pitch-black stone, which shocked the ancestors. Immediately after that, rumors spread, some people said that it was Ren Wuyue who had already turned into a ghost king who was attached to his tablet, so the wooden tablet became a stone tablet. Some people also say that because Ren Wuyue killed Honglang too heavily during his lifetime, heaven and earth did not tolerate it, and he was angered by the gods, so even the wooden tablet was not allowed to stand.
For this reason, Ren Wuyue's family set off a new round of killing and robbery, until the rumors subsided, and no one dared to talk nonsense about Ren Wuyue's beheading of Honglang.
When Orange Light carefully rubbed the entire spirit card with his own blood, he took a step back and fell to his knees. At this moment, all the clansmen knelt down, facing the tablet of their ancestors, and bowed their heads.
"The fifty-second generation descendant of the Ren Wuyue family, the current patriarch of the family, Ren Wuyue Orange Light kowtows to the ancestors......"
After reciting the long sacrificial text, Orange Light stood up, and he somehow took out the sacrificial text and put it into the brazier handed by the patriarch. I don't know if the paper full of sacrificial texts has been specially treated, but the moment it meets the fire, it all burns all at once. As soon as the orange light let go, the sacrificial text, which had only burned a small part, suddenly flew into the sky above the family residence, and after the ups and downs, it burned out, and a gust of wind blew, not even a trace of ash fell.
Orange Light and the clan elders obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly prayed for the blessing of their ancestors, and nothing went wrong.
What followed was a series of rituals that made the Holy Kingdom feel boring, what prayers, chanting scriptures, anyway, there were a lot of them. A sacrifice lasted from dawn to evening, and almost everyone was hungry, and they didn't even have much strength to eat. Seeing that it was getting darker and darker, and the stomachs of the young people around him began to buzz, the sacrifice finally reached the last step and bowed down to the ancestors again.
It's just that this prostration is different from the previous one, and it is a family unit prostration. One by one, the family walked to the tablet and bowed down earnestly, with good wishes.
As the last family walked towards the ancestral tablet, the Holy Kingdom could clearly hear the constant gasps of relief coming from all around.
At the moment when the Holy Kingdom knelt down, the whole world instantly became pitch black, he thought that the golden finger with an extremely weak sense of existence appeared, and when he was still curious about what the golden finger came out to do at this time, more than a dozen fire altars appeared around in an instant, and the flames hunted under the action of the wind.
The surrounding scenery is also clearly visible under the light of the flames.
This is a temple, somewhat dilapidated, with stone slabs lacking edges and corners everywhere on the ground, many of the walls have collapsed, and the main entrance of the temple is toppled to the side, and a desolate atmosphere blows in the face.
At this moment, a slight footstep made the Holy Kingdom tremble like a thunderbolt, and he turned around sharply and saw a man.
He had wild white hair that didn't look sloppy at all. The red shirt and bloomers were as blood-stained as if they were terrifying, and the white haori with the yin and yang symbols violated the laws of non-existence, and kept shaking as if it had life. He held a long knife in his hand, and at first glance it was plain, but if he stared at it carefully for a while, there was a faint voice in his ears that seemed to be groaning and crying, which constantly penetrated into the bottom of his heart and made people chill.
The man looked like a demon, his eyes were deep, and from time to time he revealed a deep killing intent.
The corners of his mouth curled, and his eyes were full of ridicule, "After waiting for so long, finally a guy who can be seen is still here, you are the descendant of the Ren Wuyue family, right?" ”
Shengguo pursed his lips and nodded, his right hand unconsciously pressed on the polar day, he sensed danger from this man, extreme danger!
"Polar Day?" , The man still had a dissatisfied sneer on his face, "Even if you take the Heavenly Kingdom Pill, it's useless!" ”
In the next second, his figure was blurred, and the Extreme Sun was pulled out and slashed in the hands of the Holy Kingdom, who was already on high alert!
With a loud bang, a few sparks suddenly burst out in front of the empty people, and a huge force came from the polar day with an irresistible force. The Holy Tiger's mouth was shocked, but he felt that his right hand holding Ji Sun had become a little easier, and he knew that his tiger's mouth had cracked. What's even worse is that he was actually slashed upside down and flew out. In his sight, the somewhat vague figure solidified again, and a feeling of despair came to him.
I'm afraid that the other party just slashed himself out with a random knife, and he can't even resist it!
What's more, he can't even see the opponent's figure and slashing action clearly!
It took less than half a second for the Holy Kingdom to hit the temple wall straight like a cannonball. The walls, which were already not solid, collapsed suddenly, forming a small pile of bricks like ruins. The man showed an extremely disappointed expression on his face, but in the next second, the pile of bricks exploded instantly, and a powerful momentum rose into the sky!
The curse mark crawled all over the body of the Holy Kingdom, and he stretched out his tongue to lick the blood that splashed on the corner of his mouth, and spat on the ground with a bloody spit.
"Oh? It's an interesting ability, but even so, how far can you do it? The contempt in the man's eyes stung the pride and self-esteem of the Holy Kingdom.
He took a deep breath and was just about to launch his strongest offensive sword technique, only to see the man's figure blur again, his eyes widened, and he faintly saw a red-to-shiny color move in front of him from a distance at an extremely terrifying speed, and then slashed out!
He raised his hand and slashed away, making another loud bang, and the Holy Kingdom was once again pushed backwards and flew out by the huge force.
The disappointment in the man's eyes was even greater than before, and his lips moved slightly, "Since you are so weak, then don't stay in this world and tarnish my name!" ”
In the next second, countless red lights spread all over the Holy Kingdom, and the sword light surrounded him like starlight!
The Holy Nation who was knocked away by the distance was in front of his eyes, and he roared in despair and madness in his heart!
Strength!
More power!
More and more power!
