Chapter 72: The Eve of the Sacrifice Ceremony (4)
Walking down the stairs to the second floor, there is a large space in the bamboo building, and a red-hot coral ornament is placed on a wooden base. On the other side of the living room is a miniature rockery, on which stands an unnamed bird, whose feathers are bright red and mixed with a handful of green feathers.
In the middle of the hall is a gossip-shaped table, the table top is actually made of crystal, and under the transparent crystal table top is a hollow space, which is filled with clear water, and all kinds of goldfish are playing and swimming happily in the water. If you look closely, the water is filled with colorful snakes and unknown Gu worms.
After all, several bigwigs in the clan have not entered the bamboo building for ten years, and the layout of the furnishings in the building is very different from ten years ago. Except for Zong Zheng Qingrong, the rest of the people were shocked.
The layout of the furnishings in the bamboo building in the seedling is nothing more than the container for raising Gu, the snakes in captivity, the Ding furnace equipped with the powder for raising Gu, etc., and also according to the different witch abilities of the owner of the bamboo building, the utensils used are also different.
The furnishings in the bamboo building are what they can't see through now, and the only thing related to Gu farming may be the fish and Gu worms in that tank. Ram and Cosy had been observing the objects in the hall since they entered the bamboo building, hoping to judge the true level of ability of the great witch through some small details.
Even he was puzzled by the fish in this tank. The furnishings of the gossip table are more focused on the layout of feng shui, and the living room is full of mountains, rivers, birds and fish, which is a typical pattern of gathering mountains and rivers. What is the purpose of that great witch's arrangement?
Several people sat down at the gossip table, the two clan witches were secondary, and the three high priests of the clan sat down with a rough and uneasy mood. Under the transparent crystal tabletop, swimming fish and water snakes frolicked, and seemingly harmless poisonous Gu worms lurked at the bottom of the water and lay quietly in a corner, the picture was terrifyingly beautiful.
The ram and the cosy were puzzled, as other witches, they thought they were well-informed, how could these fierce creatures coexist in harmony under the same waters?
Those swimming fish seemed to be no different from ordinary goldfish, but with the poison of the ram's and pleasant eyes, he could recognize that this kind of colorful fish was a kind of blood poisonous fish, cruel by nature, feeding on flesh and blood, and two blood poisonous fish put together, that was a cannibalistic situation.
The inner room is separated from the living room by a curtain, and a thin curtain separates the two, and the scenery inside the curtain can only see the vague outline of the form.
Everyone present could feel the two breaths rising and falling behind the curtain, one was Ning Yun who had just entered, and the other was undoubtedly the adult. Ten years have passed, and what the little girl will be like back then is what they are looking forward to.
"Elders of the clan, I haven't seen you for many years, and I am here to say hello to you." The adult's tone was humble and polite, just like ten years ago, the scene of tearfully kowtowing to the two clan witches as a sorcerer still lingered in the hearts of Zongzheng Qingrong and the ram.
"Please forgive me, the elders of the clan, Grandma Tong Jia's last words back then, I can't show up to meet you before this year's sacrifice ceremony, so I can only stay behind the curtain at today's clan witch conference." The adult's voice was soft and his tone was crisp, which attracted everyone to want to see the demeanor of the descendants of the curtain.
The white cat named Ling Yan was curled up between the knees of the Great Witch, its bright eyes staring at the other side of the curtain.
The breeze caressed the thin layer of curtains, and a faint fragrance floated in the room. "Ning Yun, light the furnace of tranquility."
Ning Yun carried an octagonal Ding furnace in his arms, twisted the switch on the top of the Ding furnace, and a faint light mist floated out along the gap of the stove cover, and instantly a smell similar to sandalwood floated in all corners of the living room.
She lightly opened the corner of the curtain, walked slowly to the gossip table, and placed the Ding furnace in the middle of the table.
What was burning in the Ding furnace was not anything like incense, it was a black Gu worm, crowded into a small space, and the Gu worms were piled up in the Ding furnace and wriggled, as the Gu worms wriggled more and more violently, the overflowing aroma became stronger.
The sharp-eyed two clan witches saw this pile of Gu worms through the pitch-black void, and their faces immediately turned blue with surprise.
With Gu insects as the guide, it ignites a strange fragrance, and it is called soothing the nerves. It was something they had never seen before, especially Ram He, who was wary of the poison in the smoke.
His back was cold, and he rested in his nose, resisting the unknown fragrance.
He re-examined the outline behind the curtain with his eyes, perhaps he was thinking that he had always looked down on this little girl, this technique was unheard of, it was incense made by burning the life essence of Gu worms.
"Lord Wu, since everyone has already arrived today, let's discuss the matter of the festival in the next half month." Ram and Yu thought that he should be the first to speak, he was the first old man in the clan to be promoted to Wu after Tong Jia Muqiu, and he had this identity and qualifications.
The curtain separated the two spaces, and they could not see the face of the adult behind the curtain, and after the ram and cozy words, there was no sound in the living room, and there was silence behind the curtain.
He was considering the ability of the man behind the curtain, after all, the adult was only nineteen years old this year, and he wanted to confirm and analyze the current strength of this little girl.
"Everything is according to the arrangement of the two clan elders." A moment later, a faint sentence came from inside the curtain.
The ram smiled and nodded with satisfaction, sure enough, it was a little girl who had not seen the world for many years, and she threw away all the rights to do things to them. Zong Zheng Qingrong maintained a smile from the beginning and did not make a statement, which made it impossible to grasp the thoughts in her heart at this time.
The palm of his hand on the gossip table moved slowly, caressing the crystal-textured table with an uncatchable technique, and his movements were hidden from the three high priests present, but he was looked at by Zongzheng Qingrong, who was of equal strength.
"Then let's do it, the procedures of the festival in previous years are as usual, and those who are eligible to participate in the 'Sue You Ling Selection' after the festival can participate in the festival dinner that night."
"Leave it for a day, and at the sacrificial dinner before the 'Sue You Ling Xuan' is held, confirm each other's Gu and discuss Gu, how each one has grown." Ram He's tone was not like asking, but more like directly knocking on the board.
On the third day of the witch Gu examination, after the competition of those who want to be further recognized and promoted, a festival dinner will be held. To put it bluntly, Ram and Yu hope that their grandsons will understand the situation of the opponent they are about to face at that dinner, so as to prepare for it.
Zong Zheng Qingrong nodded in agreement after thinking about it, "In this case, after the sacrifice banquet, let this group of descendants rest for two days, and then 'sue You Ling Xuan', do you have any ideas for the specific plan?" ”
The witchcraft controversy of the Sacrifice You Ceremony was originally a further consideration of the witchcraft of witchcraft, and the competition for the 'Sue You Ling Selection' after the Sacrifice You Ceremony, which included the Jiarong of the first person of the rising star, meant that he would become the newlywed husband of the Great Witch, which meant that he could arbitrarily put forward a condition to the contemporary Great Witch.
The ram and the cocoon must help their grandson to become the first man.
Since it is based on the witch Gu selection, the first level is the written examination of the way of witch Gu, and the five people in power in the clan are asked to test the ability of the descendants participating in the competition. Miao Min, who is proficient in witch Gu, has all the natural pharmacological Gu insect habits, and this level will be eliminated to ten people.
And in the second level, the result of the discussion of the Clan Witch Conference is to test the control and use of Gu worms, and only four people will be allowed to stay after this level.
The last way, naturally, is the duel between the last four participating in the competition, pairing up with each other and comparing Gu techniques with each other. This side is the most tragic, until the first person to decide the rising star and obtain the qualification to marry the great witch.
This 'sue you lingxuan' controversy was also proposed by Tong Jia Muqiu at the last clan witch conference, and the benefits that the winner can obtain are great, and even after marrying his granddaughter, he will enjoy the position of extremely noble patriarch. Maybe with the help of the Great Witch, he will reach the top of the Wizard Honor.
However, these are all promises that Tong Jia Muqiu secretly made to the ram and cozy, and the ancient Gu refining formula is the biggest hole card that supports the ram family to win the championship in one fell swoop ten years later, and also gives his granddaughter ten years of respite and growth time.
