Chapter 99: Ritual (1)
Rabbits and wild-chickens were handled by Meng Mingyu and Shen Dai.
Pang Shiyuan and Shen Dai have also known each other for some time, and today I learned that Shen Dai's barbecue skills are really good. Not to mention ninety, seventy is there.
But it's not strange to think that Shen Dai spends more than half of the year in the wild as a travel friend. No matter how bad the standard is, it has been practiced for so many years.
Of course, two wild animals are not enough for their group of nine people, but as a concoction to the staple compressed food, it is still quite good.
Everyone was eating happily when the walkie-talkie on their shoulders suddenly lit up yellow at the same time.
Chang Shaohe stood up for the first time, and as a soldier, his reaction was the fastest.
And many others, many of them have to think about it before they react, what this yellow alert means. This meant that the first group had a problem that they couldn't solve and had to send out an emergency distress signal.
The only consolation is that this time the distress signal is yellow, not red.
If it's red, it's life-threatening.
And yellow, that is, there is an unsolvable problem, but it has not endangered their lives for the time being, but this possibility cannot be ruled out.
"Seven o'clock direction, 4.3 kilometers away. That is where Zhuyan Village is located, and Tang Xinwen, Xia Qingcong and Wei Jian are where they go. Chang Shaohe immediately identified the source of the emergency distress signal and the person calling for help.
Wei Chengjian was a Xiangxi sorcerer who later joined the first group.
This is the advantage of having a dragon group action team leader present, everything is arranged in an orderly manner, and any point that goes wrong. He can find the crux of the problem right away.
Wei Lingtong immediately said, "Team Leader Chang, let's set off immediately." ”
"But our mountain god worship ceremony hasn't been done yet!" A Xiangxi wizard shouted.
"Saving people is like fighting fire. Where is there so much time to waste. "Hu Maddao doesn't have much reverence for the so-called mountain gods.
He is not in awe. There are many awe-inspiring people, and most of the dreamers in Xiangxi insist on completing the mountain god worship ceremony.
"It shouldn't be too late." Because Pang Shiyuan felt the majesty and majesty of Shenming Mountain more intuitively, he also agreed to complete the ceremony first.
Although it sounded like he didn't care about his companion's life, he felt that it would be worth it if he could use this time to avoid the intervention of an unpredictable mountain god.
The so-called speed is not reached.
When they entered the Divine Mountain, it was the territory of the mountain god, and if he intervened, I am afraid that the little time they were fighting for now would not be enough to consume on the road.
He wasn't afraid of the mountain gods. It's about thinking that more is better than less, and that the unpredictable is minimized.
Of course, this time the emergency distress signal is yellow, not life-threatening red.
Hu Maddao glanced at Pang Shiyuan, and seemed to think that Pang Shiyuan would actually agree to complete the mountain god worship ceremony instead of saving people immediately, which was very strange.
However, he didn't insist anymore, but he was obviously a little unhappy.
Pang Shiyuan found out about this, but he didn't bother to explain anything. If his conjecture is correct. What he insisted on must be correct, and it will soon be verified.
At this time, Chang Shaohe spoke: "Then you continue to complete the ritual." I'll go over and see how it goes! ”
"It's not going to work." Pang Shiyuan directly rejected Chang Shaohe's idea of acting alone, "If something really happens, it's too dangerous for you to be alone." Let the second group go with you. It's good to have a response. After our side completes the ceremony, we will follow immediately, and there should be no delay. ”
"Okay. Just do what Shiyuan said! Wei Lingtong finally made a decision.
So the last two people in the first group, Chang Shaohe and Shunfeng Erqiu, rode the wind. and the second group of people set off to enter the Shenming Mountain, while Pang Shiyuan and they waited for the dreamers of Xiangxi to start the mountain god worship ceremony.
The ritual is actually quite simple. The fourth group sprinkled the altar with stones and earth and the blood of the chickens that had just been killed, as well as the wine. Then I burned some rune paper that I don't know if it was useful, and finally inserted incense, and began to make sacrifices.
The content of the proclamation is also simple and straightforward, that is, to explain the purpose of their trip, so that the mountain god will raise his noble hand - of course, it is better to bless.
In fact, their mountain god worship ceremony is the simplest worship ritual of the mountain people in Shenming Mountain, and it is generally used for the mountain people's ordinary hunting.
The real festival of the mountain god worship ceremony, that is quite troublesome.
The dreamer of Xiangxi is also troublesome, and what he does is only respond to the story and ask for psychological comfort.
Pang Shiyuan stood on the side and watched the Xiangxi dreamers perform the ceremony, while observing whether there were any changes in the Shenming Mountain and the mountain gods.
To be honest, Pang Shiyuan himself didn't know if the Shenming Mountain had changed, and whether the mountain gods had received their sacrifices.
Although he seemed to feel the charm of Shenming Mountain fluctuate slightly, Pang Shiyuan felt that maybe the so-called fluctuations were just his suspicious and suspicious eyes, and he took the normal weather changes as the result of his assumptions.
But no matter what, after completing the mountain god worship ceremony, the group finally entered the mountain with peace of mind.
This time, the second group without martial arts walked in front, and Pang Shiyuan and they became the pioneers.
Several of those with weapons drew their weapons, ready to slash all the way through.
Although Chang Shaohe and the second group of people had already opened the road in front of them, they were in a hurry, and the vegetation of Shenming Mountain seemed to be more lush than before, and some places still needed to use weapons to open the way.
Entering Shenming Mountain, Pang Shiyuan felt a pressure on him. Although the sensation is very mild, almost negligible, like others, it does not feel the slightest. It's just that Pang Shiyuan noticed this slight pressure because he believed that there was a mountain god in Shenming Mountain.
What's more, Pang Shiyuan is also familiar with this pressure.
This familiarity is no longer from the majesty of Daishan in the dream world, but from the momentum of the elders of the Dai Sect.
Pang Shiyuan spent the most time with the elders of the sect was definitely the most among the disciples of the Dai Sect.
His whimsical ideas can only be realized by powerful elders, and the elders are willing to listen to his whimsical ideas to open up ideas.
Despite this kind of pioneering, it can sometimes lead them astray, or even go mad. But when it comes to the realm of the elders of the Dai Sect, it is already difficult to go further, and they are willing to bear the risks that come with the opportunity at the same time.
It was precisely because Pang Shiyuan and the elders of Dai Sect had stayed for a long time that he was particularly familiar with the momentum that the elders had unconsciously leaked.
Around them, those who are slightly worse in martial arts will feel a restraint and pressure, as if they have been inexplicably pressed by a burden. (To be continued......)
