Chapter 482: The Ceremony Begins
Time seemed to pass quickly, and it didn't take long for the sky to slowly turn dark.
Yang Zi saw this sunset, shining on their faces through the cracks in the branches, and immediately raised his hand and patted his head and said, "You see I almost forgot all the time." ”
Hearing this, Tang Nian's eyes couldn't help but have some doubts, not knowing what he was referring to at this moment.
Yang Zi immediately smiled mysteriously at her and said, "Sister, have you forgotten, we have to go to the night banquet now." ”
Hearing this, Tang Nian finally reacted, and gave Gu Lin a look to the side, and then the three of them returned the same way.
When they returned to the huts that had just begun to emerge, they found that all the villagers were gathered around the campfire.
Perhaps because there were too many people, they couldn't squeeze in at all at this moment, so they could only stand on their toes on the periphery and watch the things inside.
Yang Zi was originally small, and with so many people at the moment, he could only see the backs of others, not even the back of his head.
couldn't help but sigh heavily, his eyes were full of helplessness, he shrugged at Tang Nian, and said, "You see, it's because I forgot the time, so we can't see what's inside." ”
Seeing him with such a lost look, Tang Nian couldn't help but ask, "Is this something important to you?" ”
Yang Zi tilted his head and thought carefully for a moment, then he replied: "That's not it, it's just that every time this ceremony is held in our village, everyone attaches great importance to it. ”
Hearing this, Tang Nian immediately gave a look to Gu Lin on the side, Gu Lin saw Tang Nian's eyes, and instantly understood in his heart what Tang Nian was saying to himself at this moment.
Before Yang Zi could react, Gu Lin picked up Yang Zi.
When Yang Zi reacted, a slight smile instantly bloomed on his face, because at this moment he could see the content next to this campfire very clearly.
Although Tang Nian can be regarded as relatively petite, he naturally can't see what is happening in front of him.
But after all, this is a ritual in other people's villages, and it is not that important to her at all.
So she didn't pray to see what's inside.
Seeing the slight smile on Yang Zi's face, she was relieved.
Gu Lin was originally relatively tall, so he naturally saw the things in front of him very clearly.
"I didn't expect this bonfire to burn from day to night, and it is getting burnt more and more."
Gu Lin couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, and after Tang Nian heard this, he also felt a little strange in his heart.
Yang Zi proudly raised his chin and said, "Of course, every time we hold a ceremony in the village, the bonfires we use are specially made by ourselves. ”
"I see." Tang Nian couldn't help but whisper.
It seems that there are still many secrets in this village waiting for her to explore.
The village is like a treasure, and the more you go down, the more interesting things you will discover.
This not only made Tang Nian's curiosity more and more important, but also became more and more interested in this.
At this moment, Ah Dong had already come to the side of the bonfire with a strange wizard's hat.
Originally, everyone was still chatting lively, but the moment Ah Dong came out, everyone instantly closed their mouths, and the whole surroundings were quiet.
Tang Nian didn't see anything, and when he heard that the people around him suddenly stopped talking, there was naturally a little more doubt in his eyes.
When she lifted her eyelids to look at Gu Lin, and wanted to ask if it was Gu Lin, she gave her a look and signaled her not to continue talking.
Tang Nian immediately understood, and instantly closed his mouth like the person next to him.
Although she didn't know exactly what was going on in her heart, Gu Lin had asked her to do it, and she would naturally do it obediently.
"Ula ......"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Tang Nian remembered after distinguishing it for a while, isn't this Ah Dong's voice?
And at this moment, Ah Dong's mouth seemed to be practicing this mysterious spell.
What exactly is this mysterious spell? Tang Nian couldn't hear it clearly at all.
Gu Lin's brows couldn't help frowning, and he always felt that this ritual was a little strange.
And it's not a little bit strange.
For some reason, the man's heart also swelled with some strange emotions, and for a while, he didn't know why he was suddenly like this.
He subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at Tang Nian, who was standing beside him, and saw that her face was still puzzled.
Gu Lin gestured to Tang Nian with his eyes.
"Do you know what this is?" Not only that, the man was just talking to Tang Nian with lip language.
Tang Nian didn't react for a while, and after thinking for a while, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”
She had never heard of it, so how could she know?
Naturally, at this moment, when she spoke, she was also communicating with Gu Lin with her lips.
After all, all around now, except for Ah Dong who was reciting a mysterious spell, the others didn't even say a word, and they couldn't breathe a sigh.
If she spoke at this moment, it was a little too obvious.
Tang Nian's heart couldn't help but think about it, what might this be doing?
Originally, she had watched a lot of similar TV and TV dramas in modern times, and she had seen similar plots in them.
Most of the time ceremonies seem to have only two purposes.
The first is a sacrifice, and the second is a prayer to the heavens.
In fact, to put it bluntly, if these two purposes are studied in detail, the meaning is probably the same.
At this moment, a flash of panic suddenly appeared in Tang Nian's eyes.
Because it suddenly dawned on her that no matter what the purpose, the person who performed the ritual would offer something to the heavens.
And in order for the heavens to manifest themselves, almost every thing offered is a living thing.
Even many people who perform such rituals will directly let the living go to the sacrifice.
As soon as he thought of this, Tang Nian's scalp couldn't help but start tingling, and rows of cold sweat did not appear on his forehead.
The village was already very strange, and if they really wanted to sacrifice the living, it would be too terrifying.
Tang Nian couldn't get used to taking living people to sacrifice anyway, but she was an outsider and didn't know how to refute it.
So the panic in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.
